Hello, hello, and welcome back to a bit fruity. I'm Matt Bernstein, and if you like the show and would like more of the show, or just to support the show, you can do that over on Patreon, I believe, by time this episode is up we'll have a new bonus episode on the fifth year anniversary of the Bi-Sister James Charles Tati Westbrook, Vitamin Supplement Homophobia scandal.

It has been five years, can you believe it?

Cat Tenbarge, friend of the show, Cat Tenbarge, who is an influencer expert and I will be doing a five years later unpacking of the

events and how it changed the internet forever. Today we are in for a little bit of a different but equally rich journey.

We are going to be talking about Amy Schumer.

Amy Schumer is someone who I think everybody has opinions about for better or for worse.

Amy Schumer was just featured on the cover of Variety magazine's Power of Women issue.

After an extraordinary seven months of highly

controversial posts on social media and one could argue a highly

controversial career at large?

And so today we are going to take a look at the life and times of Amy Schumer and try to understand

what she represents at the intersections of whiteness, of womanhood, of feminism, of entertainment,

and all of the things she's come to stand for and represent in the limelight.

To do that, I so so excited because we are

joined by Maya also known on YouTube as Broi Deschenel also known in the

podcasting world for her show Rehash, which I have spent the last three weeks

binging without knowing my ear personally, but after listening to so many hours of her speaking and her just brilliant social commentary,

I was like, I need to figure out a way to get her on this show and I'm so happy she's here. Myia, welcome to a bit fruity.

Thank you so much for having me. I feel honored to be here. I talk a lot and a lot and a lot about

feminism. It's something I studied in school, it's something I've always had an interest in, thinking about Amy Schumer, especially in context to this like geopolitical event that's happening.

I think what's happening with her right now and especially with what happened with

variety definitely comes at the intersection of a lot of things.
