What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
I am very excited for my Aaron shock interlude. There's just a lot of like awful gay politicians in varying levels of the closet that I've been excited to talk about and I'm ready to go scorched earth. Oh, there's the siren.
For a second I thought that was your cat. I was like, wow, the cat is also ready to go scorched earth.
They don't want us to make this episode. Big closet is scared. Hello, hello, I'm Matt Bernstein, and welcome to A Bit Fruity. Oh, I said that in the wrong order. Wait. Hello, hello, and welcome back to A Bit Fruity. I'm Matt Bernstein, and welcome back to the show. I'm so happy you're here. I knew that sounded weird. On June 4th, 2015, Taylor Snyder traveled to Washington, D.C. Taylor was a 24-year-old transgender sex worker going by the name Allison. And when she traveled, she worked. So she put up a personal ad on Eros, a website for escorts, notifying potential D.C.-based clients of her availability. Three days later, on June 7th, she received a text from a Google voice number. Hello, Allison. Are you available to Toadie?
Today, but it's spelled Toadie. Interested in an appointment for this afternoon, if possible?
Yes, of course. I'll be in DuPont Circle closer to noon. I'm flying in from Atlanta and land in around 10 a.m. Do you have a specific time in mind?
When is the soonest you'll be available?
Would 130-2 work with you just so I can check it and freshen up?
Sorry, I realized I should do the accent. That works. Donation?
I request $400 minimum for my time. Does that work with you?
It does. Are you more of a top or a bottom? I am a bottom.
I am 100% versatile. Please refrain from speaking explicit over the phone until we get acquainted, please.
Okay, sorry. 2 p.m. should work fine.
Do you think you'd be able to send me a photo of yourself? I can send one back, smiley face.
No, I am very discreet. No pictures, but I am legit.
How did the Lindsey Graham escort encounter first come to light?
I can give a reference if you'd like.
It's not necessary. I don't like dealing with other advertisers. Thank you, though. Washington Hilton, 1919 Connecticut Avenue, Northwest, Washington, D.C., 20009. That is where I'm staying.
Very close to where I'm at.
Perfect. So should I expect you at two? Could you at least describe what you look like?
Older, white male, salt and pepper hair, stocky build.
No problem with me, winky face. Okay, give me a call around 145-ish if you can just let me know you're here. When you arrive, call me and I'll tell you my details.
Sounds good to me. See you soon, beautiful. Taylor and her client met at the hotel she was staying at, the Hilton in DuPont Circle. They had sex, he paid her $400, and nothing about it seemed out of the ordinary. Older white men in suits do this sort of thing all the time, after all. But a month or so later, Taylor traveled up from DC to New York City. She was sitting at a bar with her girlfriend when she looked up at one of the TVs. And there on national news was her client. He was running for president on the Republican Party line. His name was Lindsey Graham. All right, so Lindsey Graham just died. While we've all been waiting with bated breath to learn the state of Mitch McConnell, who has not been seen in 38 days as of this recording, Lindsey's death just kind of came out of nowhere.
I got up to pee around 4 a.m. on July 12th, tapped my phone when getting back into bed. Not a good habit, I know. And bam, breaking news. Lindsey Graham, senator from South Carolina, dies at 71. Lindsey Graham will be remembered for a lot of things, none of them good. His support for the invasion of Iraq, his support for a permanent U.S. presence in Afghanistan, his support for the occupation of Palestine, his opposition to every human and civil rights initiative in his lifetime, and of course, his pronunciation of Israel.
Israel is not the bad guy.
They're the good guy. Israel is in a fight for their lives. Let me tell you about genocide. If Israel wanted to commit genocide, they could. Israel is our friend.
If America pulls the plug on Israel, God will pull the plug on us.
We're in a religious war here. I am with Israel.
