[00:01:53] This week is a mandatory time off for our company because of the legally recognized holiday thingamajig. [00:02:02] So, you know, we're big fans of just letting people not work. [00:02:05] So we're not working or didn't work for half of this week, which is why there's only one Behind the Bastards episode. [00:02:11] Also, this is a winner that we recorded a while ago. [00:02:15] So heads up. [00:02:16] You know, there might be one or two dated references in this, but it's a good one. [00:02:20] It's a good one. [00:02:21] You know, it's me, Katie, Cody. [00:02:23] We're talking about the Proud Boys. [00:02:24] It's funny. [00:02:27] What's secretly responsible for the Bay of Pigs, my Cody Johnston? [00:02:32] This is Behind the Bastards, a podcast where myself, Sophie, and Katie Stoll confront Cody over his involvement in the attempt by the United States to destroy Cuban sovereignty. [00:02:43] Cody. [00:02:43] Cody, what do you have to say about it for yourself? [00:02:47] I was not warned about this, but I stand by all of my actions and any quote from me. [00:02:54] Do your worst. [00:02:55] All right. [00:02:56] History is history. [00:02:57] It already happened. [00:02:58] Yeah. [00:02:59] I guess you can't shame the guilty when they embrace their crimes. [00:03:03] Yeah. [00:03:03] Yeah. [00:03:04] This is go ahead. [00:03:06] This is shame. [00:03:08] I'm hugging my crimes. [00:03:08] I'm hugging them. [00:03:10] Post-shame society. [00:03:11] No. [00:03:12] That is true health and longevity. [00:03:14] Release your shame. [00:03:15] Why did you pull the air support at the last minute? [00:03:18] Wouldn't you? [00:03:20] I mean, yes, I would have. [00:03:21] Okay. [00:03:25] Softball. [00:03:28] What a fun goof. [00:03:29] What a fun goofin' about a fun moment from history that everybody enjoyed. [00:03:35] Especially full of fun little goofs and moments. [00:03:38] That's what everybody says about history. [00:03:40] Yeah. [00:03:41] So I brought you all here today to talk a little bit about Friends of the Pod, the Proud Boys. [00:03:49] Yeah. [00:03:50] Yeah. [00:03:50] Cody, Katie, I know you're both big stans of the old Proud Boys. [00:03:55] I'm going to guess I don't need to introduce this with too much detail. [00:03:59] You're all aware of who they all are as an organization. [00:04:01] Everyone's aware that they played a major role in January 6th, and five of them from the leadership are on trial right now for sedition. [00:04:10] You know, hey, everybody, Robert here. [00:04:12] In the month since we've recorded this, all of those guys were found guilty of sedition. [00:04:16] So, um, not on trial anymore, guilty of sedition. [00:04:21] Yeah, that's right. [00:04:23] Yeah, these fuckers. [00:04:24] These fucking guys. [00:04:26] Yeah, do they still uh uh dance with uh um uh what's his name? [00:04:31] Uh, Roger Stone? [00:04:33] I mean, right now, everybody's being a little more careful, uh, but yes, I mean, sure, like I mean, sure, right? [00:04:41] Yeah, um, yeah, so there's like five of them who are on trial right now. [00:04:47] All of them are kind of like leadership people. [00:04:49] There's guys like Joe Biggs, Dominique Pizzola, um, you know, uh, Ethan Nordine, um, that like people who had been, I mean, I've met most of these guys, um, and they like as a result. [00:05:03] Oh, yeah, it was a real, real crowning moment of my life. [00:05:07] Uh, Robert, I never took you to be such a name-dropper. [00:05:11] Oh, yeah, no, I, uh, I'm, I'm, I'm tight with all of them. [00:05:15] So, you know, when you have, when you get charged with sedition by the federal government, there's going to be a process called discovery, wherein which the prosecutors have to provide to the defense all of the evidence that they want to introduce for that trial, right? [00:05:30] Because you have a right, this is one of our civil liberties. [00:05:34] You have a right when you're being charged with a crime to know what the evidence against you is, which is a very important thing. [00:05:41] I don't need to defend civil rights to this audience, but one of the things that means is that the government has been putting out all of the things they want to introduce in the evidence, which has included a bunch of internal calls from the Proud Boys and their signal chats because they just had a signal chat that was, I think, literally titled like Sedition or something, where they talked about their seditious conspiracies. [00:06:02] Guys, geniuses call it like cookie party or something. [00:06:06] My gosh. [00:06:07] Because then, like, how do you keep track of all the code names? [00:06:10] Then you're going to need a document. [00:06:12] Just assume that all of them are about sedition. [00:06:15] No, no, no. [00:06:16] Still, I give them names. [00:06:17] No, this is why I've made Sophie and I have made the cool zone work chat just titled Seditious Conspiracies because it seems like such a good idea. [00:06:24] Yeah. [00:06:26] So one of the things that has gotten introduced into evidence as a result of all this is a manual that the Proud Boys had for conducting meetings and like starting, you know, your own whatever Proud Boy organization. [00:06:39] And that entire manual is now available online in its entirety, and we're going to read it. [00:06:45] Before we do that, I want to note this was specifically introduced for the trial of Dominique Pozzola, who's a fucking Proud Boy. [00:06:53] And his lawyer is trying to block prosecutors from mentioning it at the trial. [00:06:58] The defense attorney noted that he thought that some things in the document, including the Proud Boy masturbation policy, might influence jurors in a negative way. [00:07:07] Oh. [00:07:09] Quote, the document is riddled with politically incorrect remarks and assertions, which would cause most or many Americans to recoil in anger, hatred, and disgust. [00:07:17] That's his defense lawyer. [00:07:21] And that's your reason to keep it from the trial. [00:07:25] Well, Your Honor, my client's a piece of shit. [00:07:28] So if you let people know that, it could be a real problem. [00:07:31] The jury knows that they're extremely racist and awful. [00:07:33] Why would you? [00:07:35] Your Honor, you don't understand me. [00:07:36] These guys suck up. [00:07:37] Not wrong. [00:07:38] Not wrong. [00:07:39] I just don't know if that's how the law works. [00:07:41] No, it's not how the law is going to work. [00:07:44] I mean, there's a reason that I have this manual right now. [00:07:47] Exactly. [00:07:50] So I'm going to start reading this now. [00:07:52] First page is titled Proud Boys Meetup, Stations of the Congregation, Station 1. [00:07:59] Like a Stations of the Cross reference? [00:08:01] Probably, right? [00:08:02] Probably. [00:08:04] Bold type is not to be read aloud. [00:08:06] Before the meetings begin, clear the area of all women and of men who are not at least first degree. [00:08:12] Yeah, you don't want any girls around in your secret club meeting? [00:08:16] Yeah, no proud girls allowed. [00:08:18] There are no, well, I mean, this is actually a major topic of contention within the Proud Boys. [00:08:23] Oh, sure. [00:08:24] Yeah. [00:08:24] There is like an auxiliary ladies' organization, the Proud Boys Girls, I think it's called. [00:08:30] I bet they're not. [00:08:31] What? [00:08:31] It's the Proud Boys Girls? [00:08:33] That's so fun. [00:08:33] Yeah, there's some organization for the Proud Boy League. [00:08:36] Do you have to be in a relationship with a Proud Boy to be a Proud Boys girl? [00:08:40] I believe so. [00:08:42] Yeah. [00:08:43] Yeah. [00:08:44] If doors cannot be closed, the Proud Boys assemble to an area that is as secluded as possible. [00:08:49] This area is protected by two main guards who are assigned to monitoring the perimeter. [00:08:53] The following is to be read aloud by the brother in charge. [00:08:57] Brothers, we are about to open this council in the first section. [00:09:00] All persons not having received the honors of membership in the first degree shall please retire from the chamber. [00:09:05] The doors shall now be closed and the guards assume their positions. [00:09:08] Brothers, do you vouch that all present are in possession of first degree membership? [00:09:12] All members say, yes, sir. [00:09:14] Repeat after me. [00:09:15] I am a Western chauvinist. [00:09:17] All right, come on. [00:09:17] Come on, guys. [00:09:22] I'm just going to read the rest of the pledge. [00:09:26] I am a Western chauvinist who refuses to apologize for creating the modern world. [00:09:30] And everybody repeats all that. [00:09:31] And then new members, raise your hands. [00:09:33] Welcome, gentlemen, to the greatest fraternal organization in the world. [00:09:37] What happens at this meeting is only to be discussed among other proud boys and the federal agents that you talk to when you give up your fellow proud boys. [00:09:48] You are our brother now. [00:09:50] We have your back as you have ours. [00:09:52] We don't care what race you are or what your sexual preference is. [00:09:54] The only prerequisite of this organization is that you are a man and you recognize that the West is best. [00:10:00] We will commence this meeting by reading a passage from Pat Buchanan's The Death of the West. [00:10:10] Guys, famed guy who wrote books about how Hitler was not that bad, Pat Buchanan. [00:10:18] My God, Robert. [00:10:20] Yeah, it does note non-American chapters should neglect to recite the italicized sentence at the end of paragraph two. [00:10:26] Excited for when we get there. [00:10:28] Keep that one in mind. [00:10:29] Oh, my God. [00:10:30] As I read this section from Pat Buchanan's words. [00:10:32] Robert, bold font type is not to be read out loud. [00:10:37] Are you going to read out? [00:10:38] Don't read out loud for us, though. [00:10:40] Yes, yes. [00:10:41] That was the bold type. [00:10:42] I'm going to read everything. [00:10:43] That will be the bold type. [00:10:44] Great. [00:10:44] Yeah. [00:10:47] Don't read this sentence. [00:10:48] Yeah, don't read this sentence if they're not Americans. [00:10:51] So this is just, yeah, yeah, yeah. [00:10:53] That's very, it's very silly. [00:10:55] Just all right. [00:10:55] Just all right. [00:10:57] Can you make sure to write to to let us know when it is possible? [00:11:01] I'll let you know. [00:11:02] Thank you. [00:11:03] That's only not to be read for people not in the U.S. [00:11:06] So like the Canadian Proud Boys back before the Proud Boys were declared a terrorist organization in Canada. [00:11:12] All right. [00:11:12] As fair-minded and mostly Christian folks, we concede that there is truth in the indictment of America's past. [00:11:18] Our fathers did participate in slavery. [00:11:20] We did practice segregation. [00:11:21] Our treatment of the Indians was not what one should have expected of people to whom the Sermon on the Mount was divine command. [00:11:27] But having internalized a guilt that gnaws at their souls, these Republicans in their lifelong quest for absolution are easy prey for confidence men like Jackson and Sharpton who run the big sting. [00:11:38] The truth in the story of slavery in the slave trade, Western man was among the many villains, but Western man was also the only hero. [00:11:44] For the West did not invent slavery, but it alone abolished slavery. [00:11:48] Had it not been for the West, African rulers would still be trafficking in the flesh of their kinsmen. [00:11:53] Slaves, after all, were the leading cash crop of the friends of Mansa Musa. [00:11:56] In Mauritania and Sudan, today, slavery has returned to the deafening silence of intellectuals who have built careers on the moral shakedown of America and the West. [00:12:05] And this is the italicized part that you're not supposed to read to foreigners. [00:12:08] America was a segregated society, but in no other nation do people enjoy greater freedom, opportunity, and prosperity than here in the United States. [00:12:16] You're not supposed to read that one in Canada because it'll make you feel bad. [00:12:20] You don't want to offend our international. [00:12:22] Yeah, yeah, you don't want to hurt their feelings. [00:12:25] The time for apologies is past, but if Middle America believes that capitulations and reparations will buy peace in our time, it deludes itself. [00:12:31] If there were no more demands, the race racketeers would have to find a new line of work. [00:12:35] But as long as the silent majority keeps acceding to their demands, they will keep making them. [00:12:39] Time to just say no. [00:12:42] And that's interesting. [00:12:43] I mean, for one thing, it ignores the fact that there were a number of places in which slavery was abolished throughout history, including the Persian Empire, the Persian Empire who fought against the West. [00:12:58] You know, yeah. [00:13:00] Cool stuff. [00:13:02] Very good. === Uhuru Slogans and Hamilton Vibes (04:49) === [00:13:03] It's it's it's great. [00:13:04] And also that the slave trade that was abolished by Western men was also created entirely by them. [00:13:11] And slavery was fundamentally different before the Atlantic slave trade started up. [00:13:18] Collective use of facts. [00:13:19] Yeah, it's just it's just it's just bad. [00:13:22] It's just like that. [00:13:25] It's what you'd call Pat Buchanan grade history. [00:13:28] I forgot that was Pat Buchanan talking. [00:13:30] Yeah, that is wild. [00:13:32] You fucking cannon. [00:13:35] Yeah. [00:13:36] Ah, good man. [00:13:37] Terrible man. [00:13:38] Raise a glass and say, we're getting to the toasts. [00:13:41] I'm excited for this. [00:13:42] Raise a glass and say, a toast to the greatest civilization on earth and the men who built it. [00:13:47] Uhuru. [00:13:48] Everyone says, Uhuru. [00:13:50] I would also like to make it, oh, yeah, they do that all the time. [00:13:53] I would also like to make a toast to the entrepreneurs who risk everything to improve our lives. [00:13:58] To the entrepreneurs. [00:13:59] Entrepreneurs. [00:14:00] Yeah. [00:14:01] And to the house. [00:14:03] Thank God for the entrepreneurs who, I don't know, created a fake taxicab company that lights venture capital money on fire in order to try and buy their own introduction to their meeting. [00:14:15] It's so funny. [00:14:18] And the housewives that create human life, shape it, and build the communities in which we live. [00:14:22] To the housewives, to free speech, the First Amendment, to free speech, and to our guns, the Second Amendment, to guns. [00:14:31] These crawling, these responses are making me feel like some song in Hamilton. [00:14:37] Uh-huh. [00:14:37] Yeah. [00:14:38] I do want to hear Lynn Manuel Miranda's to guns. [00:14:42] Or like an even worse Luffy Bohem. [00:14:44] Yeah. [00:14:45] Yeah. [00:14:46] There we are. [00:14:47] To the heroes who answered, yeah, to the heroes who answered their country's call and ultimately laid down their lives so we may maintain our great society. [00:14:54] To the veterans and our honored dead. [00:14:57] And everybody repeats that. [00:14:58] And finally, to the parasites, both on the streets and in the White House who want to attack us and take what we earn. [00:15:04] To the trespassers who want to sabotage our culture, our family, and our way of life. [00:15:08] You want a war? [00:15:08] Well, you've got one. [00:15:10] To all of our enemies, both high and low, everyone says, bring it on. [00:15:15] Just cool. [00:15:16] This is very well written. [00:15:18] Yeah, for as cucked as you people are by the folks that you hold water for. [00:15:22] And it's, it's so funny. [00:15:24] It's like, especially like you, you finally got your little, your little war, and then you all turned on each other immediately afterwards because it turns out that, yeah, war involves a degree of personal risk, which none of you were actually willing to suffer, which is why you all rolled on each other all day. [00:15:43] Oh my God. [00:15:44] Brothers, before we close this meeting, are there any matters we need to settle before the Sharia court? [00:15:50] What? [00:15:51] Yeah. [00:15:51] You just say to me? [00:15:52] Yeah, I think it's a Sharia law joke, I guess. [00:15:57] Not a good one. [00:15:58] If you feel like, yeah, it's like, because this isn't, you don't have your own set of laws that you've listed out here in any way. [00:16:10] Like, it's a weird statement. [00:16:11] It's just a bad joke. [00:16:13] It's classic Republican humor. [00:16:15] Yeah. [00:16:16] Yeah. [00:16:16] Did they start it with, oh my God, or is that you reacting to? [00:16:20] No, that was me reacting. [00:16:23] Good question, Cody. [00:16:24] Good question. [00:16:24] Important. [00:16:25] If you feel you're not. [00:16:26] Because I want peppered in every other sentence for them to go, wow, we, here's the next thing. [00:16:32] Oh, my gracious, my. [00:16:35] That's sad. [00:16:36] Yeah. [00:16:37] So anyway, after that, yeah, they ask if you've been wronged by a brother or someone has been banished unfairly. [00:16:44] Let it be heard now before me and we will settle it like men. [00:16:47] And then you have to present your grievance and then there's a defense. [00:16:50] If the defendant isn't present, he has to submit a defense in advance. [00:16:53] So they just don't hear the case, which is interesting. [00:16:56] I guess they don't try people in absentia in the Proud Boy Sharia court. [00:17:00] That's good. [00:17:02] Yeah. [00:17:02] Yeah. [00:17:03] Comforting. [00:17:04] The matter is now settled. [00:17:05] We remain as brothers. [00:17:06] First degrees who wish to get their second degrees, raise their hands. [00:17:09] We will be performing second degrees throughout the night. [00:17:12] I now declare this meeting adjourned. [00:17:14] Raise your glass. [00:17:15] Uhuru, proud of your boy. [00:17:17] God, this is so cringy. [00:17:18] Uhuru. [00:17:19] Yeah, yeah. [00:17:21] It's their like little slogan that they took from another group of people. [00:17:27] Like, it's, it, it, it, this is a, uhuru is like a thing that exists. [00:17:32] Um, it's um a Swahili noun for freedom. [00:17:37] Um, I think they are stealing it because of the Uhuru movement, um, which was like a socialist African international movement in the 70s. [00:17:47] Um, but yeah, it's it's it's just them, yeah, being you know, stealing. === Jukebox Musicals and Cringy Moments (08:02) === [00:17:52] Uh, yeah, and like, and yeah, yeah, normal proud boy stuff. [00:17:58] Yeah, freedom. [00:18:00] Proud of your boy, I think it's very funny that they include that. [00:18:03] Oh, Cody, you're not ready for what's coming. [00:18:06] Oh, no. [00:18:07] I mean, oh, yay. [00:18:08] Uh, for listeners, uh, which I'm sure you know this, but yeah, the proud boy's name came from Aladdin. [00:18:16] Yes, one of the original songs was called Proud of Cody. [00:18:20] I'm so excited to tell you this. [00:18:22] So, what we've read before is all that the next thing that this lets us know is that what we've already read is that's all that's required of a Proud Boys meeting. [00:18:30] And then the next thing that they usually like to do is play a song, Station 2. [00:18:36] And then, so the next part of this is the entire lyrics to the song Proud of Your Boy. [00:18:40] What? [00:18:41] What's the next stage that happened? [00:18:43] Come on. [00:18:44] So, do they play it or do they all sing it? [00:18:47] Fuck it. [00:18:48] I think they sing it. [00:18:49] Yeah. [00:18:50] Oh, hell yeah. [00:18:51] Let's see. [00:18:53] I mean, yeah, because there's like, yeah, there's stuff in here about how you're supposed to, like, if you're going to a bar, you should try to find a bar that has Proud of Your Boy on the jukebox, which I don't know if that actually is a thing because this is a song that was not in the movie. [00:19:06] It's not in the movie. [00:19:07] So I don't know why it would be in a jukebox. [00:19:10] Like, I'm surprised that it's available to view like a version of it on like YouTube. [00:19:15] Like, you can. [00:19:16] I'm sure it was started as like a DVD special feature or something. [00:19:19] Exactly. [00:19:20] Why would that, why would any Disney musical be on a jukebox? [00:19:26] I'm sure they're, well, that seems likely. [00:19:28] Maybe. [00:19:29] Most of those, most of them are now have like internet connections and shit. [00:19:32] Oh, that's fair. [00:19:34] Yeah. [00:19:34] But also, most of them don't have very much music, at least the ones that don't. [00:19:38] But like a jukebox jukebox, I doubt they'll have. [00:19:41] And if they do, it's not going to have like a cut song from Aladdin. [00:19:46] No. [00:19:46] It'll be like almost certainly Nicholas or whatever, right? [00:19:50] Yeah, it'll be the best of Disney musicals, which Proud of Your Boy is not. [00:19:53] Not going to be on them. [00:19:55] I think my favorite. [00:19:56] Apologies to Alan Murkin, but Mencken. [00:19:59] Sorry. [00:20:00] My favorite musical-based bit of comedy. [00:20:03] Yeah, it is. [00:20:04] Merkin's a pubic wig. [00:20:06] Yeah. [00:20:07] Have you guys ever, did you guys ever hear that or read that Vice article where that guy just went to his local bar and played The Boys are back in town over and over again for days to me? [00:20:18] Until they found out who he was and kicked him out. [00:20:21] It's one of my favorite pieces of internet comedy. [00:20:24] The Mulaney stand-up bit about he did the same thing for What's New Pussycat? [00:20:35] And like, it was just this slow process. [00:20:37] And he just tells a story of like watching this one dad at a table getting angrier and angrier. [00:20:43] Just losing his mind. [00:20:47] That's always good. [00:20:48] So it does say right underneath the lyrics to the song, it says, it is healthy to sing our anthem at least once a night, but this isn't always possible. [00:20:56] Ideally, we seek out venues that have a jukebox with this song available. [00:20:59] So there you go. [00:21:00] It is healthy to sing this at least once a night. [00:21:03] Yeah, it's good for you. [00:21:05] It is funny that in this song, the person singing it says that they're a late bloomer, which isn't an inaccurate way to look at all of the proud boys. [00:21:15] If late never. [00:21:20] Yeah, they have some blooming yet to do. [00:21:22] Yeah. [00:21:23] Stunted maybe is another word. [00:21:25] I don't know. [00:21:26] Yeah, Cody, if had me, my drothers together, we would force you to get out your mandolin and play Proud of Your Boy, but I just don't think anyone deserves that. [00:21:37] Yeah, I was going to say, like, hey, I've never heard this song once. [00:21:42] I could guess it. [00:21:44] We do it on the podcast now where I'll play a song I've never heard. [00:21:49] Yeah. [00:21:49] But I don't want to subject this people to this. [00:21:54] No, no, you know what I think is a better idea, Cody? [00:21:56] Get out your mandolin, play this song. [00:21:58] We'll go to ads so that only we hear it and none of the fans ever get to hear it. [00:22:05] See if I can find out. [00:22:06] I think that's a good plan. [00:22:07] All right. [00:22:08] Motherfuckers, enjoy these ads. [00:22:10] We're going to listen to Cody. [00:22:11] Yeah. [00:22:19] There's two golden rules that any man should live by. [00:22:22] Rule one, never mess with a country girl. [00:22:26] You play stupid games, you get stupid prizes. [00:22:29] And rule two, never mess with her friends either. [00:22:32] We always say, trust your girlfriends. [00:22:36] I'm Anna Sinfield. [00:22:38] And in this new season of The Girlfriends... [00:22:40] Oh my God, this is the same man. [00:22:42] A group of women discover they've all dated the same prolific con artist. [00:22:47] I felt like I got hit by a truck. [00:22:49] I thought, how could this happen to me? [00:22:50] The cops didn't seem to care. [00:22:52] So they take matters into their own hands. [00:22:55] I said, oh, hell no. [00:22:57] I vowed I will be his last target. [00:22:59] He's going to get what he deserves. [00:23:04] Listen to the girlfriends. [00:23:06] Trust me, babe. [00:23:07] On the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. [00:23:16] What's up, everyone? [00:23:17] I'm Ego Modern. [00:23:18] My next guest, you know, from Step Brothers, Anchorman, Saturday Night Live, and the Big Money Players Network. [00:23:26] It's Will Farrell. [00:23:29] My dad gave me the best advice ever. [00:23:33] I went and had lunch with him one day, and I was like, and dad, I think I want to really give this a shot. [00:23:38] I don't know what that means, but I just know the groundlings. [00:23:40] I'm working my way up through and I know it's a place to come look for up and coming talent. [00:23:44] He said, if it was based solely on talent, I wouldn't worry about you, which is really sweet. [00:23:49] Yeah. [00:23:50] He goes, but there's so much luck involved. [00:23:52] And he's like, just give it a shot. [00:23:54] He goes, but if you ever reach a point where you're banging your head against the wall and it doesn't feel fun anymore, it's okay to quit. [00:24:02] If you saw it written down, it would not be an inspiration. [00:24:05] It would not be on a calendar of, you know, the cat just hang in there. [00:24:12] Yeah, it would not be. [00:24:14] Right, it wouldn't be that. [00:24:15] There's a lot in life. [00:24:16] Yeah. [00:24:17] Listen to Thanks Stat on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. [00:24:25] In 2023, former bachelor star Clayton Eckard found himself at the center of a paternity scandal. [00:24:31] The family court hearings that followed revealed glaring inconsistencies in her story. [00:24:37] This began a years-long court battle to prove the truth. [00:24:40] You doctored this particular test twice, Miss Owens, correct? [00:24:44] I doctored the test once. [00:24:45] It took an army of internet detectives to crack the case. [00:24:49] I wanted people to be able to see what their tax dollars were being used for. [00:24:52] Sunlight's the greatest disinfectant. [00:24:55] They would uncover a disturbing pattern. [00:24:57] Two more men who'd been through the same thing. [00:24:59] Greg Gillespie and Michael Marancini. [00:25:02] My mind was blown. [00:25:03] I'm Stephanie Young. [00:25:05] This is Love Trap. [00:25:07] Laura, Scottsdale Police. [00:25:09] As the season continues, Laura Owens finally faces consequences. [00:25:13] Ladies and gentlemen, breaking news at Americopa County as Laura Owens has been indicted on fraud charges. [00:25:20] This isn't over until justice is served in Arizona. [00:25:25] Listen to the Love Trapped podcast on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. [00:25:35] Oh, and we're back. [00:25:37] That was so bad, Cody. [00:25:39] That was the best live music I think I've ever heard. [00:25:42] Thank you. [00:25:43] And the way that you just stimped for 35 straight minutes was really impressive. [00:25:49] You added a lot to it, I think. [00:25:50] Yeah, thank you. [00:25:51] I felt honestly beautiful. [00:25:52] Yeah, kind of black. === Second Degrees and Black Humor (15:18) === [00:25:55] Yeah, yeah. [00:25:56] No. [00:25:56] If only we'd been recording. [00:25:59] Yeah, I bumped the recorder right when I started. [00:26:04] And I got left out. [00:26:05] It was like, you know, something took me over. [00:26:07] Like in the middle of the day. [00:26:07] Yeah, you were channeling. [00:26:09] Yeah, exactly. [00:26:10] The spirit. [00:26:10] Maybe this song is healthy to sing every night. [00:26:13] I'm going to start doing it. [00:26:14] I think we're all proud boys now. [00:26:17] Okay. [00:26:17] So now the next bit of this packet is how to perform the three degrees. [00:26:22] So after all of the lyrics, Too Proud of Your Boy. [00:26:25] Yes, this occurs after all of the lyrics to the cut Disney song, Proud of Your Boy. [00:26:33] So here's how to perform the three, you know, the different degrees of membership. [00:26:37] First degree. [00:26:37] All that's required here is that the Proud Boy publicly declares the following. [00:26:41] I'm a Western chauvinist who refuses to apologize for creating the modern world. [00:26:44] Public is open to interpretation. [00:26:46] We don't allow anonymous contributions to the proud boys because that isn't proud. [00:26:50] We also don't accept trans men because they aren't boys. [00:26:53] It is up to that chapter's discretion to determine how the public, the first degree declaration, how public the first degree declaration is. [00:26:59] At the very least, it must be said on video and submitted to the chapter. [00:27:02] The very most it is said in every possible public platform available. [00:27:06] Second degree. [00:27:07] Files. [00:27:09] Okay. [00:27:09] Oh, no. [00:27:10] Oh, no. [00:27:11] What's that, Cody? [00:27:11] What you got? [00:27:12] I just, this is the whole everything. [00:27:13] It's so, it's just, it's so silly. [00:27:15] It's also incredibly crazy. [00:27:16] Like, I'm a Western chauvinist who refuses to like, you didn't do anything. [00:27:20] Yeah. [00:27:20] Like, you're not even saying like, I'm a Western chauvinist and I'm proud of my heritage and my ancestors did X and a Y. Like there's so many things unpacked there. [00:27:27] They can. [00:27:28] But like, even the thing they say. [00:27:29] We just had another one of these guys in Portland get arrested for being a child molester. [00:27:34] Like you did not create the modern world. [00:27:37] You're pieces of shit. [00:27:38] Yeah. [00:27:38] You're fucking like you're you're pissing on the modern world and being a monster. [00:27:43] Jesus Christ. [00:27:44] All right. [00:27:44] Yeah. [00:27:45] Well, anyway, second degree, five cereals. [00:27:49] The counter, a brother not involved in the fight who counts each cereal. [00:27:54] Well, who counts each cereals? [00:27:56] That's how it's written. [00:27:57] After determining its validity, leads this ritual. [00:27:59] Before the punching starts, the prospect has to repeat his first degree oath. [00:28:03] I am a Western chauvinist who refuses to apologize for creating the modern world. [00:28:07] Then the counter says, You will now list five breakfast cereals. [00:28:10] Well, the prospect recites the cereals. [00:28:12] Five proud boys must pound him. [00:28:14] Shots to the head and below the belt are discouraged, but not against the rules. [00:28:17] The proud boy receiving his licks is not meant to fight back, although doing so does not negate his second degree. [00:28:23] After the it's just like, yeah, fuck me, I guess do whatever. [00:28:27] Yeah, after the beating, don't fight back, but like you can fight back, but also you can, it's fine. [00:28:34] Yeah, oh, it's so good. [00:28:35] Yeah, after the beating, the brother gets a hug from the counter as he says, welcome aboard. [00:28:40] And everyone says, proud of your boy several times. [00:28:43] Yeah, just several. [00:28:45] Just, yeah, however many. [00:28:46] More than once, you're good. [00:28:48] More than two. [00:28:49] It's not a couple. [00:28:50] It's several. [00:28:50] So like you get, you know, more than more than a couple, less than a few. [00:28:56] Something like that. [00:28:57] Something like that. [00:28:57] Proud boys in secluded areas have tried to have friends give them their second degree and submit it to a chapter for verification. [00:29:03] This doesn't work. [00:29:04] Those in remote areas have to create their own chapter and make sure the five men punching them are at least first degree proud boys. [00:29:10] I love that. [00:29:11] I love that there's some sad person out there who like asks whoever he technically calls a friend to be like, will you come over and punch me when I break? [00:29:21] I want to get into this club. [00:29:23] I need to, I've been practicing my cereals and I need you to come hit me. [00:29:29] That is why the cereals. [00:29:32] It's funny. [00:29:34] It's dumb. [00:29:35] It's funny and stupid. [00:29:36] In some way, this is obviously, we are in the process. [00:29:38] I don't know when this will come out as opposed to those episodes, but as we record this, I'm in the process of putting together a massive series on like the actual historical Illuminati and different secret societies. [00:29:49] And like all secret societies do, to some extent, are based in like nonsense. [00:29:56] Like it's an important aspect of them as like weird nonsense that is kind of takes everyone out of the regular world and puts them into a different, ideally heightened reality. [00:30:08] So in some ways, this is in line with that, but it's also like, you know, good secret societies would like pretend to do magical rituals and stuff. [00:30:18] This is much sillier. [00:30:21] So I don't know. [00:30:22] I don't know the degree to which this instead of like silly and like trying to be creepy or something like which maybe is the point. [00:30:30] They want they're like some of it is tongue-in-cheek, obviously, but it is also very silly. [00:30:36] Yeah. [00:30:36] Yeah. [00:30:37] It's uh it's good stuff. [00:30:39] Um, it's it's fun. [00:30:41] So uh the next rule we like it. [00:30:44] This is this is good. [00:30:45] Everyone's gonna enjoy this. [00:30:47] No wanks. [00:30:49] Oh a proud boy may not ejaculate alone more often than once every 30 days. [00:30:54] That means he must abstain from pornography during that time. [00:30:57] And if he needs to ejaculate, it must be within one yard of a woman with her consent. [00:31:02] Thank God for that last part. [00:31:07] Honestly, like good for them. [00:31:08] Yeah, at least that's in there. [00:31:12] Low bar, but they gingerly stepped over that bar. [00:31:16] Yeah. [00:31:17] They knocked their foot against that bar as they stepped over. [00:31:20] Yeah, they lighted a little bit, but they didn't quite fall down. [00:31:23] Yeah. [00:31:24] Wouldn't get a few penalty points, but not passing. [00:31:27] The woman may not be a prostitute. [00:31:30] Wait, but also, like, you can, I mean, you can look at porn without ejaculating. [00:31:37] Yes. [00:31:38] What is no porn rule? [00:31:39] Seems arbitrary. [00:31:41] I think maybe they're just acknowledging that none of them can avoid coming if they look at porn. [00:31:48] Okay. [00:31:49] Yeah. [00:31:51] No one follows this rule. [00:31:53] No, I'm sure they all break it, but that's what they're meant for. [00:31:59] Yeah. [00:32:00] No prostitutes. [00:32:01] I'm sure a lot of them break that rule too. [00:32:04] Yeah. [00:32:06] Or they're going to have no kids in there. [00:32:08] Considering. [00:32:08] Yeah. [00:32:10] Yes. [00:32:11] Considering. [00:32:12] All right. [00:32:13] So let me let me let me finish reading this. [00:32:16] So after this woman may not be a prostitute, this is our religion, and our pope is the religion's founder, Dante Nero. [00:32:22] Men who are away from their wives for extended periods of time have requested video conferencing as a way around the one-yard rule. [00:32:28] This is not allowed. [00:32:30] Dante Nero is like a comedian and MMA guy. [00:32:36] I guess he was on Chappelle's show and Opie and Anthony a lot. [00:32:42] Yeah. [00:32:43] Again, some of this is them. [00:32:46] Oh, and he's a self-help guru now. [00:32:48] Actually, let's go over to Dante Nero's website. [00:32:50] Some of this is them fucking around. [00:32:51] I'm sure a lot of this is them fucking around. [00:32:54] And also at the same time, they come to take it very seriously because they're inherently ridiculous people. [00:33:02] Such are the confusing vagaries of right-wing weirdos. [00:33:08] So the third degree, you need the words Proud Boy tattooed anywhere on your body, and you must preserve the tenets of your first and second degree. [00:33:16] There are no rules on how the words must look, though the norm is to pursue the traditional tattoo font of your. [00:33:25] There you go. [00:33:26] That's good. [00:33:27] I mean, I do know. [00:33:29] I remember the fucking guy who I had a standoff with in Portland had Proud Boy tattooed on his forearms very visibly in all of the photos of him like macing people and shooting them with paintball guns. [00:33:42] And the Proud Boys were like, oh, he's not a proud boy. [00:33:45] It sounds like he did the only thing you need to do to be a, I'm sure somebody hit him while naming breakfast cereals. [00:33:53] Yeah, if you're trying to like distance yourself from somebody that gets in trouble, it's not good that they've permanently inked it on their body. [00:34:02] No, that's maybe a sign that you have it that you're in a gang. [00:34:07] Maybe. [00:34:08] Yeah. [00:34:08] It certainly makes it easier to prosecute people. [00:34:12] But that's funny. [00:34:13] Fourth degree. [00:34:14] This degree is loosely defined as engaging in a major conflict for the cause. [00:34:18] Being arrested is not encouraged, although those who are immediately become fourth degrees because the court has registered a major conflict. [00:34:25] Serious physical fights also count, and it's up to each chapter to determine how serious the conflict must be to determine fourth. [00:34:31] This regulation is not retroactive and it only counts events that occurred after a brother was declared a proud boy. [00:34:38] So that's good. [00:34:41] Yeah. [00:34:42] I mean, this is something I think people knew. [00:34:43] You got to get into fights. [00:34:46] I do like that you get it automatically if you get arrested. [00:34:50] So I think a lot of people were getting their fourth at January 6th. [00:34:54] Congrats, everybody. [00:34:55] You did it, finally. [00:34:56] You did it, guys. [00:34:57] You really did it. [00:34:58] I hope you're proud. [00:35:00] Yeah. [00:35:00] Yeah. [00:35:01] If somebody gets skipping degrees, if someone gets a third degree before their second degree, the third degree is placed in a form of stasis until the previous degrees can be completed. [00:35:10] This also works with those who get a fourth degree before their third. [00:35:13] If the previous degrees are never completed, the degree remains in stasis. [00:35:17] Poor one out for all the proud boys whose degrees are tragically in stasis, everybody. [00:35:22] That's a real heartbreaker. [00:35:23] Sorry, folks. [00:35:25] Yeah, tragic. [00:35:27] Station four, our politics. [00:35:29] We are not a political group. [00:35:30] We're a fraternal brotherhood like the Elks Lodge or the Shriners. [00:35:34] We are a multiracial group that is socially liberal and welcomes gay members. [00:35:39] Again, our only non-negotiable rule is that you are a Western chauvinist who refuses to apologize for creating the modern world. [00:35:46] Oh, and they clarify here. [00:35:48] Much confusion revolves around the word chauvinist as women tend to assume it means sexist. [00:35:53] It means a person displaying aggressive or exaggerated patriotism. [00:35:57] You admit you're exaggerating things for effect. [00:36:00] That's cool. [00:36:01] Wait, they're defining chauvinism, being chauvinistic as being patriotic. [00:36:09] Yeah, they sure are like Western chauvinism. [00:36:12] So like technically, chauvinism is just sort of like thinking you're like believing that like a certain thing is superior to everything else. [00:36:21] Like Western chauvinists. [00:36:22] Like, oh, the West is the best and so on. [00:36:25] Exactly. [00:36:25] But like you could do like Evolvo chauvinist. [00:36:29] Right. [00:36:29] But generally people associate chauvinism with the sexist part. [00:36:33] Yeah. [00:36:35] Because that's just where the term gets used the most. [00:36:38] Yeah. [00:36:39] For obvious reasons. [00:36:40] Yeah. [00:36:41] But not these guys. [00:36:42] They're reclaiming it. [00:36:43] Yeah, exactly. [00:36:44] Almost all our members are pro-Trump, but there are exceptions. [00:36:47] Our Pope being one of them. [00:36:49] So I guess Dante Neiro doesn't like Trump. [00:36:51] Not a Trump guy. [00:36:52] Not a Trump guy. [00:36:53] That's good for him. [00:36:55] Diversity of thought. [00:36:56] Oh, wow. [00:36:57] Place of ideas. [00:36:58] Dante Nero's webpage finally loaded the proud boy Pope, and it's advertising Man School 202. [00:37:06] So that's good. [00:37:08] I got to read this to you from Dante Nero's Man School site. [00:37:12] In 2006, I received a call from my friend and comedy mentor, Patrice O'Neill, to team up on a radio show. [00:37:17] My 11-year experience as a male stripper gave me a perspective on male-female social dynamics seldom experienced. [00:37:25] Oh, okay. [00:37:27] That's good. [00:37:29] That's fun. [00:37:31] This website did take a really long time to load. [00:37:33] It took so fucking long to load. [00:37:35] I do apologize. [00:37:36] I'm sure Dante Nero's Man School is great. [00:37:39] Very excited. [00:37:40] Man School 202. [00:37:41] 202. [00:37:42] I'm sure he's really ironed out a lot of the problems. [00:37:44] Even better, exactly. [00:37:46] We disavow Nazis and don't want them at our meetups. [00:37:49] I've seen a lot of Nazis at y'all's meetups. [00:37:51] We disavow racists and don't want them at our meetups. [00:37:54] We allow weak beta male virgins to join because our fraternity is about helping men improve their lives, and that includes all men. [00:38:01] If, however, a proud boy refuses to step up to the plate, if he doesn't heed our advice and try it, if he doesn't assimilate and engage with the group, he will be asked to leave. [00:38:08] Our founder, Gavin McGinnis, peace be upon him, often cites his 10 ways to save America list as a compendium of proud Western beliefs. [00:38:16] So I guess take a look at that. [00:38:18] I'm not going to do that. [00:38:20] Are you sure, Cody? [00:38:21] Are you sure you're not going to do that? [00:38:24] Oh, okay. [00:38:26] Well, check it out. [00:38:27] You're never going to save America that way. [00:38:30] Well, I want to, so fine. [00:38:32] Yeah. [00:38:32] You want to. [00:38:33] Like, that's what you were trying to do with the Bay of Pigs. [00:38:36] And I think I succeeded. [00:38:37] Yeah. [00:38:38] Yeah. [00:38:38] Oh. [00:38:39] Oh, I found the Blaze coverage of this. [00:38:42] Outspoken Comedians' radical plan to save America in 10 easy steps will likely rile up left and right. [00:38:49] God. [00:38:50] Oh, I think they're going to get it. [00:38:51] Yeah. [00:38:51] They're going to get into this in the that's that's such a funny title from the blaze currently being sued for sexual harassment because one of their chief hosts, Elijah Schaefer, was a sex pest who they had to fire. [00:39:05] Oh, really? [00:39:06] Yeah. [00:39:06] No. [00:39:06] Oh, yeah. [00:39:07] They shit canned his ass because he was a piece of shit. [00:39:09] He was too big a piece of shit for the Blaze. [00:39:12] That is a feat. [00:39:14] Yeah. [00:39:14] Yeah. [00:39:14] I fucking hate that guy. [00:39:16] Yeah. [00:39:16] All right. [00:39:16] So these are the 10 ways to save America. [00:39:19] I think you're going to be surprised by some of these guys. [00:39:21] Number one, abolish prison. [00:39:23] There are too many men in prison right now, and we need to fix this mass incarceration problem. [00:39:27] This obviously doesn't mean bust open the gates right now. [00:39:30] It means we need to start going in the opposite direction and recognizing the people we are putting in cages are human beings. [00:39:35] The following points lend themselves back to this one. [00:39:38] So, I don't know, that's a solid start, right? [00:39:41] Number two, the women in prison, though. [00:39:43] Also, oh, yeah, also like it. [00:39:46] I mean, they said like it was going to rile up the right and the left. [00:39:49] And so, there you go. [00:39:50] Okay. [00:39:51] So far, we're good. [00:39:52] Number two, give everyone a gun. [00:39:54] Not for free, obviously, but gun laws are too strict in about 80% of the country and 90% of the Western world. [00:40:00] Right now, it's mostly bad guys who have guns. [00:40:02] Good guys need them too. [00:40:03] This will help prevent crime. [00:40:05] Look, guys, there are guys. [00:40:09] There are half a billion guns in the United States. [00:40:12] Only the bad guys. [00:40:13] If that is not enough of them to get into the hands of good guys, then that is not part of the problem. [00:40:18] The more is that going to solve it. [00:40:20] Yeah. [00:40:21] Like, there are whatever you think about gun control. [00:40:25] The examples of the United States should show you more guns is not a thing that's going to change anything. [00:40:31] Right. [00:40:32] There are so many guns in this country. [00:40:35] You can get a gun if you want. [00:40:39] Yeah, I would like to see their research on the data to the market. [00:40:45] Well, point number three, research is. [00:40:49] Right. [00:40:49] It's like, like, give people guns. [00:40:50] We'll actually sell them to people. [00:40:52] You can, yeah. [00:40:53] They're doing that now. [00:40:54] Yeah, they're doing that, man. [00:40:55] In every state, they sell guns. [00:40:57] Sue is like trying to get a gun, but can't. [00:41:00] You can get more guns than you can get abortions. [00:41:02] I mean, for sure. [00:41:04] Yeah. [00:41:04] The people who are trying to buy guns and can't are convicted felons, many of whom are proud boys. [00:41:09] Which I guess goes down. [00:41:11] That is what they're doing, right? === Gun Sales and Single Mothers (02:40) === [00:41:13] Yeah. [00:41:13] I mean, a lot of them do have criminal records and did prior to joining. [00:41:17] Number three. [00:41:18] Well, then those don't count, right? [00:41:20] Yeah. [00:41:20] Yeah, they shouldn't. [00:41:23] Yeah. [00:41:23] Here's another good one. [00:41:24] Legalize drugs. [00:41:26] So that's good. [00:41:27] Well, that's odd. [00:41:28] That's where McGuinness is inner vice. [00:41:31] Yeah. [00:41:32] They do phrase this oddly. [00:41:34] Take away the profits from drugs and you take away gangs. [00:41:37] And soon prisons are losing their best customers. [00:41:40] That's an I mean, I think that needs an edit pass. [00:41:44] That's interesting. [00:41:45] It's an odd way to phrase it. [00:41:47] Yeah, they're like circling a real point there. [00:41:50] They're circling a real point, which is that the state is paying the private prison industry to keep people incarcerated. [00:41:57] And also the increasing financialization of stuff like the ability of inmates to make phone calls is part of how that industry makes its money. [00:42:06] And that's deeply predatory. [00:42:08] That's a weird way to say that. [00:42:11] But okay, I'll give it to you. [00:42:13] I'll give that to you, proud boys. [00:42:15] Number four, end welfare. [00:42:17] Right now, we have incentivized single mothers. [00:42:19] This is shattered families, especially poor families. [00:42:22] Stop rewarding single mothers for leaving their husbands and we get the family back. [00:42:26] With fathers comes disciplined and employment. [00:42:29] With jobs comes less crime. [00:42:31] Oh boy. [00:42:31] Yeah. [00:42:32] Single moms are leaving their husbands because welfare is just so good. [00:42:36] This is all over the place, man. [00:42:39] It really is. [00:42:41] Oh, what a wild statement. [00:42:44] What are these opinions? [00:42:45] What is going on? [00:42:47] Yeah. [00:42:48] I mean, a lot of these guys, a lot of these guys had their wives leave them because they're pieces of shit, probably who got arrested and sent to prison for committing some sort of fucked up crime. [00:43:00] Yeah, hitting them, selling fucking fentanyl, like whatever. [00:43:03] They're all who knows what's going on. [00:43:07] It's very funny that they're specifically like, the problem is too many women leaving their men. [00:43:11] Oh, maybe you guys are pieces of shit. [00:43:13] Maybe you fucking suck. [00:43:14] Yeah. [00:43:15] Let's dig a little deeper on that. [00:43:16] Yeah. [00:43:17] Also, didn't they say like a minute ago that they're not a political organization? [00:43:24] Yes. [00:43:24] But they're like, we got to end welfare. [00:43:27] We got to do this. [00:43:28] Like, this is just a political problem. [00:43:30] Political. [00:43:31] Yeah. [00:43:31] Well, yeah, they're very, I mean, obviously, they're a political street gang. [00:43:35] But you know who else is a political street gang? [00:43:39] A fucking blue box. [00:43:42] Sesame Street. [00:43:43] Blue apron. [00:43:44] The blue aprons. [00:43:45] That's right. [00:43:46] You meant ads. [00:43:47] Yeah. [00:43:50] They have a gang. [00:43:52] And I support that gang. === Gang Support and Welfare Cuts (02:42) === [00:43:54] They're going to make you your food in little prepped boxes and you're going to like it. [00:44:00] It's good. [00:44:07] There's two golden rules that any man should live by. [00:44:11] Rule one, never mess with a country girl. [00:44:14] If you play stupid games, you get stupid prizes. [00:44:17] And rule two, never mess with her friends either. [00:44:20] We always say that, trust your girlfriends. [00:44:24] I'm Anna Sinfield. [00:44:26] And in this new season of The Girlfriends... [00:44:28] Oh my God, this is the same man. [00:44:30] A group of women discover they've all dated the same prolific con artist. [00:44:35] I felt like I got hit by a truck. [00:44:37] I thought, how could this happen to me? [00:44:39] The cops didn't seem to care. [00:44:41] So they take matters into their own hands. [00:44:44] I said, oh, hell no. [00:44:45] I vowed I will be his last target. [00:44:48] He's going to get what he deserves. [00:44:52] Listen to the girlfriends. [00:44:54] Trust me, babe. [00:44:55] On the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. [00:45:04] What's up, everyone? [00:45:05] I'm Ago Modem. [00:45:07] My next guest, you know, from Step Brothers, Anchorman, Saturday Night Live, and the Big Money Players Network, it's Will Farrell. [00:45:17] My dad gave me the best advice ever. [00:45:21] I went and had lunch with him one day, and I was like, and dad, I think I want to really give this a shot. [00:45:26] I don't know what that means, but I just know the groundlings. [00:45:28] I'm working my way up through it. [00:45:30] I know it's a place they come look for up and coming talent. [00:45:32] He said, if it was based solely on talent, I wouldn't worry about you, which is really sweet. [00:45:37] Yeah. [00:45:38] He goes, but there's so much luck involved. [00:45:41] And he's like, just give it a shot. [00:45:42] He goes, but if you ever reach a point where you're banging your head against the wall and it doesn't feel fun anymore, it's okay to quit. [00:45:51] If you saw it written down, it would not be an inspiration. [00:45:53] It would not be on a calendar of, you know, the cat just hang in there. [00:46:00] Yeah, it would not be. [00:46:02] Right, it wouldn't be that. [00:46:03] There's a lot of luck. [00:46:05] Listen to Thanks Dad on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. [00:46:13] In 2023, former bachelor star Clayton Eckard found himself at the center of a paternity scandal. [00:46:20] The family court hearings that followed revealed glaring inconsistencies in her story. [00:46:25] This began a years-long court battle to prove the truth. [00:46:28] You doctored this particular test twice, Miss Owens, correct? [00:46:32] I doctored the test once. [00:46:33] It took an army of internet detectives to crack the case. === Cancel Culture and Big Brother (06:56) === [00:46:37] I wanted people to be able to see what their tax dollars were being used for. [00:46:41] Sunlight's the greatest disinfectant. [00:46:43] They would uncover a disturbing pattern. [00:46:45] Two more men who'd been through the same thing. [00:46:47] Greg Gillespie and Michael Marancini. [00:46:50] My mind was blown. [00:46:52] I'm Stephanie Young. [00:46:53] This is Love Trap. [00:46:55] Laura, Scottsdale Police. [00:46:57] As the season continues, Laura Owens finally faces consequences. [00:47:01] Ladies and gentlemen, breaking news out of Maricopa County as Laura Owens has been indicted on fraud charges. [00:47:08] This isn't over until justice is served in Arizona. [00:47:13] Listen to Love Trapped podcast on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. [00:47:22] Ah, we're back. [00:47:27] Having a good time. [00:47:28] Having a great time. [00:47:30] Having a good time. [00:47:33] Number five: close the borders. [00:47:36] We have strayed from, I think they meant to write from. [00:47:41] We have strayed from a merit-based immigration policy and have replaced it with open borders. [00:47:47] We need to build a wall and encourage assimilation. [00:47:49] No more Spanish schools or Chinese schools. [00:47:52] Everyone speaks English and patriotism is encouraged. [00:47:55] Ooh. [00:47:57] Great. [00:47:59] Good guy. [00:47:59] Good. [00:48:00] Good for you. [00:48:01] Outlaw censorship. [00:48:04] We got to ban Chinese. [00:48:06] Also, no more censorship. [00:48:08] Censorship. [00:48:09] Incredibly funny. [00:48:10] Oh, my God. [00:48:12] The West has thrived with the checks and balances open discussion provides. [00:48:16] Without it, fascism thrives. [00:48:17] We need to fight for free speech, not just against the government, but against the people who want to shut it down. [00:48:22] We are now policing ourselves worse than Big Brother. [00:48:24] That needs to stop. [00:48:25] Free speech includes all speech, good and bad. [00:48:27] And a huge part of this brotherhood is making sure nobody is prevented from speaking. [00:48:31] This is obviously our most important cause. [00:48:34] Then why is it number five? [00:48:37] Six, Cody. [00:48:38] Six. [00:48:39] Six. [00:48:39] Sorry. [00:48:40] Right above number seven. [00:48:42] I'm sorry. [00:48:43] Require. [00:48:43] Oh, yeah, We police each other worse than Big Brother. [00:48:49] Yes. [00:48:50] I think that's a cancel culture reference, Cody. [00:48:52] I think they're claiming that cancel culture is worse than Big Brother. [00:48:58] Yes. [00:49:00] Yes, because they're fine with Big Brother as long as Big Brother forces people to be patriotic and makes it illegal to speak Spanish. [00:49:11] Oh, all right. [00:49:13] Well, what they don't like is cancel culture saying, hey, that's kind of fucked up. [00:49:18] Yeah, maybe you know, cancel culture has absolutely led to lots of proud boy girls leaving their proud boys. [00:49:28] Yeah, it's cancel culture when you can't hold down a job and then you hit your wife and she leaves. [00:49:36] You gotta blame something other than yourself. [00:49:38] Otherwise, what are you doing here, boys? [00:49:43] So I guess we blame women, right? [00:49:49] Because we're proud boys. [00:49:51] We shame the women. [00:49:57] That's good stuff. [00:49:58] The most important one. [00:49:59] So I'm glad we got to it finally. [00:50:01] Yes. [00:50:01] Number seven now, venerate the housewife. [00:50:05] Proud boys are encouraged to put a ring on it and knock her up. [00:50:08] We need to make more proud boys. [00:50:10] The young are encouraged to sow their wild oats, but as we get older, committing to a family becomes more and more important. [00:50:16] With the family comes a deep respect for the housewife. [00:50:18] We push back against the feminist notion that shaping human lives is somehow selling out. [00:50:23] We see housewives as sentient beings who have an incredible gift. [00:50:27] So there you go. [00:50:29] Proud babies. [00:50:31] Yeah. [00:50:32] Proud, proud babies. [00:50:34] Glorify the entrepreneur. [00:50:36] Western liberalism scoffs at the rich and those who put it all on the line to improve our lives. [00:50:42] We recognize the incredible sacrifice this takes, and we are in awe of all the great entrepreneurs throughout history who got us here. [00:50:50] Proud of your entrepreneurs. [00:50:52] Why don't they name any of them? [00:50:55] Yeah, tell me. [00:50:56] Great question. [00:50:57] Great question. [00:50:58] Nine, recognize the West is the best. [00:51:01] This is just a hate fact. [00:51:03] America was not stolen from the Indians and it was not built on slavery. [00:51:07] A hate fact. [00:51:08] Yeah. [00:51:09] Europe and Britain were not built on colonization. [00:51:12] We fought hard to be number one and we won. [00:51:14] All other cultures are not really different. [00:51:16] What the fucking kind of thing is that to say? [00:51:18] Sorry. [00:51:19] Like, we didn't colonize. [00:51:23] We fought hard and won. [00:51:24] We fought right. [00:51:25] Like, we didn't polarize or like take over. [00:51:26] We fucking conquered that shit. [00:51:28] Like, what? [00:51:28] And then made it a colony. [00:51:30] Yep. [00:51:30] Sorry. [00:51:31] And then a colony in the middle of your sentence. [00:51:33] I just couldn't. [00:51:34] I couldn't. [00:51:35] You couldn't contain it. [00:51:36] I couldn't stop. [00:51:37] Continue. [00:51:38] I'm so sorry. [00:51:41] Yeah. [00:51:41] It's good. [00:51:46] All other cultures are not merely different than us. [00:51:48] They are worse. [00:51:49] That's how that ends. [00:51:51] Oh, yeah. [00:51:52] So we didn't colonize or conquer anything. [00:51:56] We merely fought and won against the losers who suck. [00:52:02] Who's cultures of God? [00:52:04] Who are every other culture in history? [00:52:07] Again, I'd like to check their sources and their data on where they're getting this information. [00:52:14] Not really. [00:52:16] Yeah. [00:52:16] Yeah. [00:52:17] No, not really. [00:52:19] So next is shut down the government. [00:52:24] Oh. [00:52:24] We have no respect for the institutions that rob us of our hard-earned wages. [00:52:28] We don't expect another man to handle us our freedom and determine our destiny. [00:52:32] We may not be anarchists, but we always want the government brought down to the absolute minimum. [00:52:36] And it also needs to ban Chinese schools. [00:52:39] I was going to say, you want to ban the government, but you also want to make sure everyone has a gun and ban like other languages and all these things. [00:52:49] How are we going to do that? [00:52:50] How are you going to do it? [00:52:51] There's a, I forget which, because it's some right-winger. [00:52:53] There's a conservative quote that I actually like the quote. [00:52:56] They just don't actually, they never mean it, but it's a, I want a government small enough to drown in my bathtub, which is a thing that I want legitimately in a lot of ways, but is not a thing any conservative actually advocates for because they have increased and expanded the security state every chance they've gotten. [00:53:15] They're lying to you. [00:53:16] They're lying. [00:53:18] Ban the government, but also like, I want cops to like rough enemies. [00:53:22] Yeah, if you want a government, you can drown in your bathtub. [00:53:25] The cops can't have tanks. [00:53:26] That's a basic basic part of it. [00:53:29] These are at odds with each other. [00:53:32] Yeah. === Booted Toes and Fraternal Lies (08:14) === [00:53:33] What'll it be, boys? [00:53:34] What'll it be? [00:53:35] Yeah. [00:53:36] So, station five, the end. [00:53:38] This should serve as a general guide for starting your own chapter. [00:53:41] There has been a lot of talk about whether Muslims should be allowed in. [00:53:44] The elders have not settled this, nor will they talk about an antiquated ban on ABBOs. [00:53:50] I think they're talking about aboriginals. [00:53:54] Did they use the word elders? [00:53:57] Yeah, yeah, that's the leaders of the proud boys. [00:53:59] That's creepy. [00:54:00] Yeah. [00:54:01] Is abbos. [00:54:02] What else would that mean? [00:54:04] I'm going to check that. [00:54:05] Is that like a slur? [00:54:07] I think it's aboriginal. [00:54:08] Yeah. [00:54:09] Yeah. [00:54:09] My guess is it's a slur for aboriginal people. [00:54:12] That's what's. [00:54:13] Oh, yes. [00:54:14] The racial slur database has come through. [00:54:18] Didn't they say they welcome all races? [00:54:20] They sure did. [00:54:23] Wow, there's some fascinating ones on here. [00:54:25] Although the racial slur database listed as ABO, whereas the Proud Boys listed as ABBO, but there's numerous misspellings in this, so that doesn't really mean anything. [00:54:35] Okay, I'm pretty sure that's what that is. [00:54:38] There are other general guidelines that don't matter. [00:54:42] We hate flip-flops and cargo shorts. [00:54:44] Fedoras are banned. [00:54:45] We like to stick to classics like Levi's, Chuck Taylor, Van Aira's, Clark's Desert Boots, J. Crew Wingtips, Pendleton, Woolrich, Filson, and Ray-Bans. [00:54:56] Classics. [00:54:57] We encourage Proud Boys to be well-dressed in colored shirts, especially when talking to the media. [00:55:01] The uniform, which is not mandatory, but highly encouraged for rallies, is a black Fred Perry polo with gold piping. [00:55:07] A goal for the club is for people who try to shut down free speech to see a deep sense of fear when they see the black and gold appear at a rally. [00:55:15] It signifies a group of men who are prepared to fight back. [00:55:17] A recommended shoe is the black Red Wing Classic Moccasin Toe Boot. [00:55:22] Bootleg proud boys t-shirts are all over the internet and there is no official one as of yet. [00:55:26] We encourage the free market and enjoy seeing proud boys benefit from their own club. [00:55:30] Each individual chapters have full autonomy. [00:55:33] We fully believe in chapter rights and have no mandatory terms outside of the West is the best. [00:55:37] This is not a Gavin McGinnis fan club. [00:55:39] Although the movement was created via the Gavin McGinnis show, many members haven't even seen the show. [00:55:44] This is about taking our civilization back. [00:55:46] This is about rebuilding the patriarchy. [00:55:48] There are dozens of chapters and they are all over the world. [00:55:50] We have a proud boy in the White House, Lucian Wintrich, not anymore. [00:55:53] And we have a proud boy man. [00:55:55] Holy, all right. [00:55:56] Yeah, we have proud boys making international headlines as they destroy the left. [00:56:00] Mike Cernovich, Charles C. Johnson. [00:56:04] Again, not political though. [00:56:05] Household names. [00:56:07] There are charity events, fundraisers, rallies for free speech, and legions of proud boys, girls, and even a comedy tour. [00:56:15] Not anymore. [00:56:15] We are creating documentary shows, podcasts, and changing the course of history. [00:56:19] It's incredible to be, it's an incredible time to be proud of who you are. [00:56:22] We tried shame and apologies. [00:56:24] It didn't work. [00:56:25] It's more than just a time to say no. [00:56:27] It's time to fight, which they did on J6th. [00:56:30] And it didn't go well for them. [00:56:34] And yeah. [00:56:36] Yeah, they didn't get the hang of it. [00:56:37] So that's all very funny. [00:56:39] That's extremely funny. [00:56:40] I do like the they slipped in that they prefer moccasin-toed boots. [00:56:46] But also. [00:56:47] What is a moccasin-toe boot? [00:56:49] It's like, I mean, it's a boot that it draws from like moccasins. [00:56:53] Oh, right, right. [00:56:54] But also, you should finish your sentence. [00:56:56] Oh, just that. [00:56:57] Like, it's, you know, they're like this big like Western civilization. [00:57:01] We invented it. [00:57:01] We're the best. [00:57:02] We did everything. [00:57:03] Well, why are you using the other culture's toe for your boots? [00:57:07] Why do you prefer moccasins? [00:57:09] Well, they've taken a few things. [00:57:13] Yeah, exactly. [00:57:14] Let's talk a little bit about what happened after all of these proud boys get arrested. [00:57:19] So January 6th, they're very happy. [00:57:22] There's another manual they have. [00:57:24] Yeah, what to do. [00:57:26] No, they had not. [00:57:28] So they had not really prepared properly for this. [00:57:31] And it's very funny because in the wake of everything falling apart for them, there was a like a signal voice chat thing that they had that again got recorded. [00:57:45] Or sorry, it was through Telegram. [00:57:47] So they had like a big, this was in like February, I think 1st after it became clear that the feds were coming for everybody who was at J6th, where they had this like big panicked meeting. [00:58:00] And it's very funny. [00:58:02] Like, because they had all of these different like voice notes where they had talked about storming the Capitol before. [00:58:10] And then after this, everybody's panicking. [00:58:12] All of the people who weren't at January 6th were like yelling at the people who were at January 6th and being like, you guys have fucked us. [00:58:19] You didn't have any kind of OPSEC. [00:58:21] And like now everyone's going to get arrested and we're screwed. [00:58:25] Like Antifa has better OPSEC than we do. [00:58:29] It's really funny. [00:58:32] So yeah, that's good. [00:58:33] It's very funny just like taking so long to get to that conclusion. [00:58:37] Yeah. [00:58:38] Yeah. [00:58:40] Obviously. [00:58:41] Look, we're laughing. [00:58:43] The Proud Boys are still a threat. [00:58:45] They still are an organization that can do, that like will continue to do damage. [00:58:49] They've been behind a lot of these like school board meetings. [00:58:52] You know, there's always Proud Boys at these protests at like drag shows and LGBTQ events. [00:59:00] Like they're still dangerous and fucked up, but it is worth noting that for all of this like rhetoric they have about being this great fraternal organization of real men who understand masculine values, the instant the state cracked down, they all fucking rolled on each other. [00:59:19] That's because there aren't proud men. [00:59:22] They're proud boys. [00:59:24] Yeah, they certainly weren't proud when the FBI came to their doors. [00:59:30] They became less proud and more boys. [00:59:35] Yeah. [00:59:37] Yeah. [00:59:38] Anyway, that's fun. [00:59:39] Yeah. [00:59:39] Well, this was a fun little treat. [00:59:40] Yeah. [00:59:41] Have a nice time. [00:59:42] Everybody happy? [00:59:43] Everybody feel good about it? [00:59:44] I'm happy and proud. [00:59:45] I'm proud of my boy, Cody. [00:59:48] Thank you. [00:59:49] For the Bay of Pigs thing. [00:59:51] Yeah, I am proud of Cody. [00:59:53] Look, I don't support the Bay of Pigs, but I'm proud of Cody for getting out of his comfort zone. [00:59:58] Yeah, absolutely. [00:59:59] That's a lot for you, Cody. [01:00:01] That's a really good deal. [01:00:02] We all know that you don't like to go outside. [01:00:04] You don't like to interact with people. [01:00:06] Exactly. [01:00:07] Well, and I know, I can just remember that for years before that, you would always say, you know, whenever we got to talking, you'd be like, I just, I just don't think I'm ever going to attempt to overthrow a sovereign nation using CIA mercenaries. [01:00:20] And I'm just proud of you for trying, Cody. [01:00:23] You know, I ain't proud of you. [01:00:23] You're facing your fears. [01:00:24] Yeah. [01:00:25] You know, I've wasted time. [01:00:26] I've wasted me. [01:00:27] So say I'm slow for my age, a late bloomer. [01:00:31] Okay, I agree. [01:00:34] Some son, some pride and some joy, but I'll get over these lousing up, messing up, screwing up times. [01:00:42] Wow message. [01:00:43] Yes. [01:00:43] Definitely, definitely not that. [01:00:46] I can see why they left that one on the cutting room floor. [01:00:49] It's not good. [01:00:50] Yeah, we don't, we don't, maybe we don't need that one. [01:00:53] We don't need it. [01:00:53] It's not very good. [01:00:54] And what was it? [01:00:54] Mulan? [01:00:59] Oh, is it Aladdin? [01:01:00] Okay, okay. [01:01:01] No, that makes a little more sense. [01:01:02] That makes a lot more sense. [01:01:06] Some say I'm a gold brick, a goof off, no good. [01:01:10] But that couldn't be all that I am. [01:01:12] Oh, it's nice. [01:01:13] Nice. [01:01:13] I just really like to think of them singing this at their meeting. [01:01:17] I really want to see that. [01:01:18] And like once a night, shoot, I didn't sing the song yet today. [01:01:21] I got to do it before bed. [01:01:23] Yeah, exactly. [01:01:24] It's like laying in its bed softly. [01:01:27] Softly. [01:01:28] To yourself. [01:01:32] Singing it to your kid as a lullaby. [01:01:35] Helps you get to sleep. [01:01:36] The proud babies, by the way. [01:01:38] Proud babies. [01:01:39] Katie. [01:01:43] It didn't quite land when I said it earlier. [01:01:44] So give it another guy. === Some More News and Podcast Bylaws (03:46) === [01:01:47] Exactly. [01:01:47] You got to be proud of your thing that you said. [01:01:51] I'm a little proud baby. [01:01:52] Okay. [01:01:53] Speaking of things you're proud of, do you two have anything you'd like to plug? [01:01:57] Why wouldn't they call them instead of proud boys girls, call them proud babes? [01:02:03] That's better, right? [01:02:05] But that does not imply, that doesn't imply possession. [01:02:09] Proud boys girls implies ownership. [01:02:14] It's not proud boys like the way we read it. [01:02:16] It's like with an apostrophe. [01:02:19] Yeah, the girls who are not our proud property of girls. [01:02:23] Yeah. [01:02:24] Exactly. [01:02:24] Exactly. [01:02:25] Sophie, to answer your question, yeah, we've got shows. [01:02:30] Our YouTube channel is called Some More News.
