I was transphobic… against trans fats

·1 hr 7 min·4 clips

A committee clip centers on repeated slurs and a fight over "penises in women's bathrooms."

1. Not Well | A Comedy Podcast centers on a congressional clip about a "private takeover of the federal government" and a long comic discussion of trans fats. 2. Bobby and Jim host the episode, and both react to the political clip with disgust, disbelief, and repeated jokes about Congress. 3. The episode asks what happens when real government footage, internet outrage, and personal oversharing get turned into comedy. 4. The first major topic is a clip about websites being taken down, CDC public datasets becoming unavailable, and a CDC employee uploading data to a drive. 5. That same political clip mentions people without security clearances using Gmail addresses to join top-level OPM meetings. 6. A second clip shows a committee exchange built around repeated slurs, bathroom policy, and the line "penises in women's bathrooms." 7. Bobby and Jim describe the meeting as a "circus" and treat the exchange as proof that Congress has gotten worse. 8. The hosts then move into social-media manipulation, saying TikTok, Instagram, and Elon Musk all fit a broader takeover pattern. 9. They also bring up Canada, tariffs, and American packages from China being held up, tying those developments to the same sense of noise. 10. The conversation shifts again to the federal payment system, social security numbers, and worries about who controls personal data. 11. One of the most detailed comic digressions is about moving, including a rented U-Haul, movers costing "two thousand dollars," and refusing to ask family for help. 12. Another recurring phrase is "all I know is," which they describe as a cue that someone is about to say something juicy or revealing. 13. The hosts turn that phrase into a mini-lesson in how people hint at secrets without saying everything at once. 14. A surgery anecdote leads to the reveal "my vagina was tightened," which becomes part of a longer exchange about asking direct questions. 15. The episode then pivots into body image, with talk of eyebrows, being called a "hot daddy," and whether attraction changes with age. 16. One host describes feeling like winter has flattened crushes and left "no potential for return feelings." 17. The style is fast, conversational, and heavily reactive, with both hosts interrupting themselves and each other. 18. The format mixes political audio clips, personal stories, and improvised back-and-forth without a formal interview structure. 19. Listeners who like gay comedy, political ridicule, and messy personal confessions. 20. Listeners looking for polished structure or restrained language.

As heard by us

A sharp pivot from government chaos to trans-fat obsession.

It opens in government chaos and then drifts into a trans-fat fixation that ends up carrying the whole thing. The pace is part of the appeal: it moves from public-data takedowns to Bisquick, chalky batter, heart-healthy Bisquick, and partially hydrogenated oil without lingering…
