Are We WINNING The Culture War? | Guest: Wade Stotts

Breaking news, everybody.
Breaking news.
It turns out Demi Lovato has just readopted she-her pronouns because explaining they, them was exhausting.
I know we started a little bit late, but it took me some time to just get the nervousness out of my body and to accept the reality.
It is 2023, and Demi Lovato is a woman again.
I got to get a little celebration, a little celebration.
Yes, yes.
My name's Elijah Schaefer, and I am your top 17 host.
Oh, do we have a great show for you?
It is sometime Eastern time in the United States.
I have no idea at this point.
Let's get into it.
He can do it too.
Watch.
Watch his moves.
Look at that.
Wow.
Wow, everybody.
Oh, geez, geez.
I can feel the energy.
I can feel the energy.
All right.
We can stop that.
We can stop that.
My guest today is Wade Stotz.
You can introduce yourself.
Who are you?
What do you do?
I'm Wade Stotz.
So I'm the host of The Wade Show on YouTube.
And yeah, I also live in Moscow, Idaho, work at Cannon Press.
Yeah, that's me.
You're in Moscow, Idaho?
Yeah.
So you've been with all the Idaho killing stuff and everything that's been going on there.
You've been around that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I've been keeping up with that.
It's like, yeah, that's like a mile and a half away from where I live.
Dude, that's so like, that is so incredible, man.
I'm glad that you weren't the one that was murdered because that would have been unfortunate for your wife and kids.
That is the sweetest thing that anyone's ever said to me, Elijah.
I really appreciate that.
I know.
I know.
And you know what?
I said, I said we could start the show out.
It could pull my balls out, but we decided we were not going to do that on this show.
So I thought of a great thing.
You know, a lot of us haven't seen you in a couple years.
You know, we saw you when you were working over on Ladder with Crowder, and then you just disappeared, man.
You just dropped out.
And then things like this started happening, you know, and we're like, where's Wade Stotts?
Where's Wade Stott?
We need you to weigh in.
Come in and weigh in.
What are your thoughts on this?
This is breaking news of the century.
Demi Lovato has abandoned they, them pronouns.
And I just have to say, where the hell is your commentary, my friend?
Well, golly, you know, I've worked with Demi Lovato on this for a little while.
I wanted to make sure that she picked the right time to make this announcement.
She and I've been, you know, I've been coaching her on this and kind of figure out what the best messaging was.
And yeah, I thought that the, you know, it's time for people to know that Demi Lovato is a woman.
She's a woman, and you heard it here, folks.
You heard it here.
You had a little bit of a celebration there.
It's really a big deal.
I'm feeling it in everywhere in my body.
I'm glad my wife's not here because when I see images like this and I just go, damn, no wonder why people are nervous because when you look like that, that girl looks like she's OD'd on a lot of heroin multiple times.
Yeah.
Does she have three fingers?
What is this?
What is this claw?
Yeah.
I don't know.
Also, real fast, I'm going to just go to the graphic.
Can you guys just disconnect and reconnect more time?
It just started crackling.
The audience said that.
Snap crackle pop, but that's totally fine.
Does disconnect and come back in.
Ladies and gentlemen, we heard the news.
We have it here.
And before we jump into that, I want to give a huge shout out to the sponsor of today's show, which is, of course, 4 Patriots emergency food supply.
Now, one of the craziest things that you need to understand about food is that I just saw recently in every grocery store, they're always out of something, right?
It's literally not even a joke.
And when the crap hits the fan, essentially, you're going to want to make sure that you're not running to the grocery store to buy up the toilet paper, to buy up the supplies that you have.

All right, guys, things are getting crazy in the culture war.
We're going to talk with Wade about all the insanity and everything that's going on.
Let's see what's happening as Starbucks has decided to end the gig.
Major controversy.
Major controversy.
Very gay controversy.
We've got to get some of this going on.
A scandal actually happened and occurred recently.
Charlie Kirk brought this up.
Good old Charlie from Turning Point USA was like, breaking, because everything is breaking, right?
Everything has to be breaking.
If you ever notice that, everything is breaking, so nothing is breaking, right?
That's kind of the problem.
And so because nobody's breaking or because everybody's breaking, oh, we got nice way.
We got you back.
We got you back.
It's good to see you.
Howdy.
Oh, you're not crackling.
You're not cracking.
Hey, that's good news.
I wanted to come on the Elijah Schaefer show and have my nice camera set up, but you know, I guess we have to set up for this.
At least I'm not crackling.
That's good news.
Yeah, at least you didn't do it.
Some people didn't blame it on the Jews.
You took responsibility and decided to just change the setup.
It was me.
It's me.
I can take responsibility.
All right.
So we got breaking news, man.
I was just saying this.
Doesn't it always feel like there's people on the internet that everything is breaking so that nothing feels like news anymore?
Yeah, absolutely.
There are Twitter accounts that are just called breaking, you know, where it's like, yeah, you know, and most of most of the things that we see now are just kind of the continuation, like, oh, the same thing we saw yesterday.
It's just a different fat TikTok video.
Like, I don't know if this one really is breaking.
Well, this is.
Look at that.
Oh, goodness.
I don't know if you can see that on the screen there.
Read it out loud.
No, this is from Charlie.
Charlie would never mislead us.
What does it say?
Right.
It is breaking.
Starbucks has banned Pride decorations in its stores halfway through Pride Month.
The company's workers union has revealed left-wing trans activists claim this means Starbucks is caving.
Good.
Keep the pressure on, folks.
Charlie Kirk.
Breaking news.
But the controversy of this is, so basically, what people are wondering and what people have brought up, this is where we start the discussion of like, have we won the culture?
Where are we winning?
Is it seems like this is the first Pride in my lifetime, which is difficult for me to talk about this because, of course, Pride's my favorite month.
It's like titled After a Sin and it's about anal sex and stuff.
So it's all the good stuff.
But everyone's favorites.
Yeah.
Every four-year-old, every three-year-old's top priorities, sexual fetishes and sinning.
It's like as a father.
I interrupted your thoughts.
No, no, no, no.
I was saying is that is that so there's a controversy.
We'll break this down because Starbucks is denying that they didn't take down their their their um their decorations for pride, but we are seeing this for the first time, this pride that a lot of companies are like either they just put up a gay logo for a day or they just put a like, you know, a little like rainbow flag on their camera while they're shooting a Jesus movie or whatever.
But the entirety seems like companies either A, don't see it as profitable anymore or B, the public stomach for this stuff just isn't there anymore.
Like where do you think we are on this?
Like, why is this happening?
Well, I think it also has to do with the fact that the Dylan Mulvaney Bud Light thing happened when it did and that it was all before June 1st, such that when June 1st hit, everybody was kind of ready to check their swing a little bit, which I'm thankful for.
I mean, the Bud Light thing is one of those things that I've not seen a really successful boycott in my lifetime.
We've gone through the Target boycotts because of the trans bathroom stuff.
And then I was skeptical that the Bud Light thing would have any impact, but it seems to at least have some impact on the marketing teams, which is maybe enough.
Yeah, no, I absolutely do feel like that because Starbucks actually came out and denied it, right?
It actually denied it because it says here, Starbucks denies unions' accusations of banning pride.
Starbucks said that it will sponsor Pride events and refuse the accusation, which comes weeks after Target announced that it would be removing some of its Pride merchandise.
And I find that to be so interesting that they're denying it.
But then it goes, the Starbucks union said, Starbucks Corporate is denying any change to their policies on Pride this year.
But if that were true, why are there countless stories where workers are claiming the opposite?
Here's just some of what's been sent to us.
And if we zoom in, by the way, here, it's like, yep, they made us take down all the last, all down last year and didn't even let us put up a single thing up this year.
Real tea is Starbucks is making most of their stores take down Pride decorations.
Okay, so is this the workers are holding the companies hostage?
Like you go in and you failed at life.
You're 37 and no, no, no shame if you're, you know, but you failed at life.
And that's so all you have to care about is the fact that there's no gay stuff at your coffee place?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, I mean, it could very well be that there's this sort of the union people are crafting a sort of controversy for pushback on Starbucks such that they're seen as anti-LGBTQ, but that would be the opposite kind of pushback that Bud Light got.
And the Bud Light thing has been successful.
So it seems like the only accounts that I'm seeing without being blurred are the ones that are the official Starbucks Workers United group.
But yeah, I don't know.
It's an odd, it's either an odd like conspiracy of union people, like tranny union people, excuse me, trans union people.
You can say it.
It's a part of a car.
Oh, you're right.
You're right.
I'm sorry about that.
I didn't mean to be offensive to that part of the car.
All parts of the car are equal.
Yeah.
So it does seem like it could just be like some viral TikToks from this.
There was the Starbucks, like the employee taking down the flag.
Do you have that video?
You got the videos.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, I think the other...
Right.
Taking down the flag.
But, like...
Right.
Yeah.
And it seems like the videos that they've shown have like two to three people.
That doesn't really even look like a Starbucks.
Is that a Starbucks?
And why is it being filmed like they're doing something wrong?
Like it's like the girls in a window.
You know, you can just film outside.
It's like they're like secretly filming it.
Like, and I don't, but I don't get this is, first of all, I'll just be straight up.
America has a problem with not making good coffee in general, right?
In general.
Like most places, it's gross.
Like you can't get away with that in Australia at all.
Like everything is good.
It's the Italian and Greek roots.
Like you can go anywhere and get a freaking 10, you know, 10 star cup of coffee at the crappiest place.
Everyone just takes it seriously.
And unlike America, where there's also a problem with a lot of restaurants that don't taste good, right?
That's like it's a weird thing, the U.S.
It's not like that in New York, but a lot of U.S., like just restaurants exist like TGI Fridays, but no one knows how they got there or like why they do.
But I don't understand with Starbucks.
It's like Starbucks is just a giant corporation.
Like when did lefties, anti-corporate, you know, hipsters and these pro-free sex stuff start expecting multi-billion dollar conglomerate companies to be the voice of the people?
Well, it sounds like they have been for years, or at least have been making that their play.
And so it is, yeah, it's an odd timing thing, but yeah, it does coincide with other companies dropping stuff at the same time.
I don't know.
It is an interesting kind of case, but back to the point about coffee, though, I do want to say I do have a special affection for like late night, 3 a.m. gas station coffee that's just like really oily and burned.
I don't know why.
It like reminds me of being in like an abusive relationship with Miley Cyrus.
You know what I mean?
Like cigarettes spit down my throat or whatever.
It is, it's a, you know what?
It's a sadomasochist in you.
It's liking to be in an environment where you're beat up.
I thought you were going to keep my secret about my relationship with Miley Cyrus, but I guess you guys here hold it here, folks.
It's the mullet you told me.
You said, while you're usually not into Dolly Parton lookalikes, you said the mullet is what drove you closer to the abuse.
And you liked the abuse because you felt like you were a little bit like, wasn't she married to Thor or something like that?
She was married to Thor's brother, I believe.
But, you know, that did hurt our relationship as well.
But, you know, You are allowing private conversations, though, to be publicly aired.
And I'm just, I'm generally totally against that.
You know what?
And I did, well, you know what?
Someone's got to punk you because, you know, it's like you've had an easy life for the last few years.
I've heard about your previous work environment and stuff.
I heard it was awesome.
So I heard you're doing all right.
And I heard everything's good.
But it is, and there's someone, there's only like, I saw two, there's only one gun pointed at your head while you're on the show.
So you can say whatever you want, except for whatever that guy was when he was like, don't fucking say that shit.
Who is that with the gun now?
Is that your producer?
That's Dave.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I just left with an NDA.
You left with an NDA and a guy with a gun.
That's pretty fun.
I like that.
Okay, I'll change the subject.
I do bring this up about Starbucks screwing up, though.
Something that I thought was kind of funny was former Philly Starbucks manager wins $25.6 million after being fired for being white.
This is not a joke, right?
So we can't give Starbucks too much credit.
If we bring this up here, let me see if I can get this more.
There you go.
Let's get this better for our blind viewers, people that are on the audio-only podcast.
You can get the show audio-only, by the way.
For those of you that are our blind viewers, it says a former regional manager for Starbucks was awarded $25.6 million on Monday after a federal jury in New Jersey unanimously found that she had been fired because of her race.
Uh-oh.
Shannon Phillips, who was white, received $25 million in punitive damages and $600,000 in compensatory damages.
I didn't know if I was going to be able to read that word, guys, but I did it.
She is reportedly seeking further compensation for lost wages in 2018 in response to the backlash against Starbucks after two black men, Ray, Sean Nelson, and Dante Robinson, were arrested while waiting for a business associate at one of the many Philadelphia locations she oversaw.
And apparently she was claimed in her 2020 lawsuit that her firing had been racially motivated.
She said she was targeted despite not having any direct influence on the decision to call the police.
So, I mean, like, we are, this is like another win, right?
I mean, like, we're seeing a little bit of the win of the woke.
We're winning against the woke.
This woman is like, yo, you guys are too busy being gay that you forgot you're not allowed to fire people because of their skin color.
And she got awarded, like, she got awarded $25 million, which I've, which I now can, you can buy like a head of lettuce and a, and a half a pound of steak at the grocery store, and you're probably almost broke because of inflation.
But, like, I mean, this is, I would say this is a win, no?
Yeah, well, I mean, it obviously opens the door for other people.
It's, it seems like racial discrimination suits are not things that are typically won by white people in anti-white kind of circumstances.
So I think that it definitely does is a good sign for anybody else who has experienced that exact same thing.
Yeah, it seems like a win for her, but yeah, also a win for anybody else who's experienced something similar.
And yeah, there are probably plenty of other stories.
Starbucks, other large employers who are just looking for a scapegoat.
Like that, that's what happened.
These two guys came into her store, weren't buying anything.
And so somebody kicked them out.
And then after that, somebody else called the cops and then she gets fired.
Yeah, it's a bizarre thing.
And I mean, yeah, I do see this as a win.
Right.
And by the way, someone in the chat said that you were louder than me.
So I did.
I just turned.
Tell me in the chat if I was able to get his volume equal.
I turned it down a little on my end.
Dude, but it's not all good.
It's not all good, Wade.
It's not all good for white people because I didn't know if you know about this, but sometimes black people do messed up stuff.
And I know it's hard to believe because we're putting statues of them up everywhere because of all their accomplishments and their contributions to society.
And that's good.
And I support that.
This show supports black statues and I think we should make more of them.
However, this is an older story from a few weeks ago, but I just wanted to bring this, I made me think of this, how the black woman was fired after being late to work 47 times, sues Equinox for discrimination and wins millions.
Not a joke.
This happened the other week.
Manhattan jury awarded $11.25 million to a 39-year-old Robin Europe, a black woman who sued, what in the world?
Who sued her former employer Equinox Jim saying she was unjustly fired for sexism and racism.
She was late 47 times over 10 months.
And she acknowledged it as true.
And they said that they used her lateness for discrimination because they were saying, they were assuming that she was late because she was black.
And I don't know, this is where I got to say this.
I feel like this is when black people create racism because I bet you no one at Equinox associated and said she was late because she was black.
She brought that up and said that.
And so I found out black people are late sometimes, apparently.
Who would have known that the black community makes errors?
I didn't.
I didn't.
Yeah.
Well, and we all know that white people can be late 47 times, and that's 100% fine.
Nobody looks down on that.
So that's, golly, I had not seen that story.
11.25, she got $11.25 million for being black.
That's like literally, I mean, so the whites win, the blacks win some, but I mean, like, it's like the kangaroo court, right?
When we're seeing with Daniel Penny being, you know, charged, you know, with homicide or whatever.
I mean, the courts are essentially now like the idea of democracy and a jury of your peers.
The problem is, is that our peers are, lack of better words, are fucked up twats.
And that's who they are.
That's what people are.
They're rainbow-braid-headed, sex-fetish-obsessed degenerates, and that have no formal education and don't know anything.
So when you're like, when you're going to have a jury of your peers, that would be okay if America wasn't completely screwed up socially.
And now that everybody is, if you're in New York or, you know, you see Trump, you just get these little, these weirdos and you're guilty before even getting a trial.
Like we saw it with Derek Chauvin.
I mean, like, you can be late 47 times and get $11 million because, you know, everyone just wants to feel like they helped out the black community.
I think, yeah, I think that what we should do is just take this as a model and that I think this is how we do reparations.
Whatever she got, I think everyone else, every other black person, regardless of when their ancestors moved to the United States, I think they need to get, what was it, $11 million?
Correct?
Yeah, I think that should pay for however many acres you want.
I mean, I think that's only fair.
And you know, that's what black people do with their money.
They buy rural property and create renewable resources.
It's, no, it's just funny.
It's funny to me because it's ironic because everything is about racism today.
And, you know, I got to say, it doesn't help anybody.
Like with the war on woke, the reason why I think this stuff starts to backfire on people's stomach, you know, they lose their stomach for it is because like asking me, they used to ask you to tolerate the gay, gay community.
And the majority of people got there and just went, all right, go be gay.
But then now they have pride, right?
Now you have to celebrate it.
So that's like, that's where they take it too far.
Tolerate just means that you allow something.
You're okay with, even if you're not okay with it, you just let it be.
But everything, it's like they're not just saying, oh, stop, you know, judging black people and assuming they're going to steal from your stores.
It's like if a black person behaves inappropriately at their job, they still win money because it's like the affirmative action of the justice system.
It's like, you know what I'm saying?
I think this starts to piss people off.
It genuinely does.
Yeah.
Well, I mean, and you also have to think about like the motivations of these companies.
You've got companies who have a bottom line, but there's also a larger motive where they're all for some reason doing the exact same thing in the marketplace to try to, it's, they're sort of competing.
There was a time where they were out competing each other to see who could be the most woke or something.
I mean, it, it's.
I've heard the complaint that, yes, they're marketing to a tiny part of their customer base, or at least some of these companies are.
But I also think that many of these companies are marketing to, they may not necessarily be marketing to lesbian couples or something that they're showing on these commercials, but they are marketing a lot of times to like white women who will most of the time see that and go, and most of them are woke.
So most of them will go like, oh, isn't that nice?
Or they won't be that bothered by it and they'll just sort of let it go past.
And so, but it also makes people there's a sense in which wokeness is a kind of thing that causes people to not be attached to their own families.
So it's wokeism and this kind of globalistic instinct, this kind of instinct that is trying to erase all kinds of boundaries and barriers, natural and spiritual.
And that if you have done that, if you've successfully made a made your mass of customers into people who have no attachments to anything else other than identities that they can purchase at a store, then you've just created the ideal consumer.
So I think they still might have an entire motive to continue in the wokeness.
And there are people who are dropping stuff, but I think that there is still a powerful reason for people to want their customers to be woke or at least to be okay with woke.
But it's not working everywhere, Wade.
I mean, like I put that up on the screen there about Cracker Barrel CEO issues warning over lost customers as Chainface's backlash for Pride campaign.
One of the things that people don't realize is I think BlackRock is one of the main owners now of Cracker Barrel.
And remember, Cracker Barrel had a different problem a while ago because everyone thought Cracker Barrel was racist because of whatever, because apparently they didn't know that there was actually something called a Cracker Barrel.
And do you not remember this?
All the black people were mad about Cracker Barrel.
And how are you mad at a $6?
I didn't know that.
Yeah.
Oh, it was, dude, it was canceled crack.
I'm going to look this up.
But it was like everyone was mad because Cracker Barrel is racist.
And if you go on TikTok now, like there's like a running joke.
It's like, it's like black people, they film themselves going like, when I walk into Cracker Barrel, and then they walk in and there's some sound that starts playing that goes, that's a gun iggor over there.
But they say it with the N in front of it.
And they like, and they make like a joke about how Cracker Barrel is like racist.
But now Cracker Barrel isn't racist.
Cracker Barrel is gay, which is crazy because I feel like now Cracker Barrel is racist and gay.
It's like half of West LA.
I did.
There was this.
Yeah, I was talking to somebody today and we talked about how like southern food, like the thing that people think of as like black food in the South and like white food in the South, it is just Southern food, like that biscuit thing, like eating biscuits and eating a lot of like gravy, like the kind of food that's at Cracker Barrel is just southern food.
It's bizarre to hear that it's racist.
But yeah, no, I'm sad to hear that they have now become sexist.
Well, I was hoping they were sexist, actually, because the thing is, look at this.
See, here's a PolitiFact.
And I hate bringing up fact checkers on the screen because no one's a better fact checker than me.
But yeah, Facebook post says Cracker Barrel's name has racist origins and its logo depicts a whip.
And they went through, this is a baseless rumor.
The barrel depicted in the logo were for storing soda crackers sold in general stores.
That's the origin of the name.
And so we're going to look at some funny sides of this because there is some backlash coming.
So let's look at something a little lighthearted, a little more funny, and let's talk about apologies for how bad this video is because this is the best worst show on the internet.
It's not good.
And the show's not good.
It's better because you're here, but we don't, I don't know why we have a video of a screen recording and why we couldn't get a better, why we couldn't get something better.
But they were doing a pride video day at a local school.
And I just want you to pay attention to the sounds.
This gives me hope, right?
This gives me hope.
Listen to this.
is pretty good.
Hey, I'll warn you guys now, if you're going to be inappropriate, I'm going to have supervision down and give all of you a Saturday school for next year.
So knock it off.
Okay.
Except the gays, Wade, or you're going to get Saturday school.
Watch some lesbians.
I don't, I don't.
That's right.
You can hear, they were all like, the kids are like, ah.
I've heard that these kids have been getting this stuff in their schools since they were five years old.
So I assume it's basically the same kind of thing that I felt when we watched like the 18th slavery movie that we watched in high school.
Or I was like, oh, come on, Essex.
We got to watch another one of these.
Where it was like, those are the only two things we ever watched were like Holocaust movies and slavery movies.
That's all that happened in America's history, by the way.
It's just America.
Then we had slaves and then Jews died in Europe.
Yeah, it is too bad that those are the only two things that have ever happened.
It's true.
But now we got gay stuff, but gay stuff's happening now.
Right.
Right.
And yeah, and they're just as sick of it and they're just kind of, I guess they just see it as cliched and boring, which I think is great.
Like, I think it's hilarious that they're trying to see it as like, oh, this is the thing that is still transgressive to them and they need to learn to accept it.
I think it probably is just that they're tired of it.
They've seen so much of it.
They're just like, I don't know.
Give me something really transgressive, like a normal guy and a normal gal with their kids.
Well, yeah.
And I, okay, do you want to hear the funniest thing about that?
So I don't want to get you in trouble because I know you have a family and you have a, you still have a career and a reputation, but I get myself in trouble here.
So I'm going to just preface this by saying Wade disavows this next statement.
However, I was laughing when they were showing these Holocaust videos at this school because what there's this is like a real problem.
Like I was watching a news report on this and it was it was making it was busting me up a little bit or busting up inside because apparently, and it's not funny that people are laughing at the Holocaust, but when they show Holocaust videos, now it was a news report, an alarming amount, like two-thirds of the students say they don't believe in the official number or they doubt that it was 6 million and that like they have a problem.
There was like this whole school board thing coming together in like LA and different things where they were like, but we talk about the Holocaust.
They literally said we talk about the Holocaust every year.
And I'm like, yeah, that's weird that you tell four-year-olds about the Holocaust.
That's fucking weird.
Don't tell my kid about that.
But secondly, I think that like when you when you push something so much, especially with young people, they have a tendency to want to rebel.
So when all you do is tell kids like the Holocaust matters, it's 6 million exactly.
This and that, eventually, the kids are just going to be like, they're going to doubt you because they doubt authority.
And when you tell them, like, gay is good, gay is good, gay is good, and you put all this gay stuff like basically by only focusing on these few things, it sort of backfires, I think, with the youth.
And I was laughing, I wasn't laughing, I wasn't laughing that they were doubting the Holocaust at all.
I was laughing that the schools don't understand that propaganda and threatening people and like is not the way to teach people.
Like, the way to teach them about the Holocaust is not tell them it was six million Jews, and if you don't accept that, you're a bad person, or gay is good, and if you don't like that, you get a Saturday school.
Like, that's not how you teach people.
You don't threaten them with consequences if they don't repeat your ideology and don't parrot what you think.
And so, like, yeah, so I just thought it was, I think it was funny that this is all apparently all backfiring in schools, and the kids don't even.
I think I heard some kids were not even believing that slavery actually happened the way they said it did.
So, that's great.
I'm telling you.
Well, yeah, I mean, like, there's there's definitely everybody in the evangelical world.
I'm an evangelical.
So, everybody in the evangelical world, the whole time I was growing up said talking about like the large, huge percentage of people who lose their faith in college.
So, the people who leave the church, the people who go off and do something crazy, uh, and then never come back.
There are just these awful statistics that are always.
I think that that is that right there will pale in comparison to the like sort of woke apostasy that we'll probably see with a lot of these like kids who are extremely cynical and who are ready to like, As far as, as far as the like um, the gay stuff.
That is just so like if, if you the the thing, the thing that that was always done, like when you were talking about Evangelicals, that was always taught as a way of saying, we really need to make sure that these kids are know their stuff, that they know their apologetics and they know the reasons for what they believe.
But if you don't, if your reasons for what you believe are patently insane, and if the reason, the reasons for your woke beliefs and for the like, for all the stuff that you are again preached at uh, in high school, then of course you're going to abandon all of that stuff.
And I I, I think that it very well could you know it, it it could backfire and it could just be that we have a bunch of drones who are just repeating a bunch of woke propaganda for the rest of their lives.
But I mean I, I think that that instinct, the exact instinct that you just talked about, where they disrespect authority, that if, if they can't meet the questions like okay well, why if?
If this is great, then why has every civilization that's ever done it immediately collapsed and why has ever every civilization that has ever existed been built on the opposite of this flag that you want me to wave.
Every civilization that that has ever been built has had to exist, to make kids and had to continue to like birth people, to continue into the future, and that just is what's the opposite of that is represented in the FL, in their trans flag or in their their pride flag.
But yeah like, and so I don't think they have the answers to the questions and I think that those kids Are highly motivated to start asking.
Okay, there you go.
Look, this is from Canada as well.
That a third of students think the Holocaust is exaggerated or fabricated.
Just in this, this is not even the story I was talking about from the US.
But yeah, nearly a third of North American students think the Holocaust was exaggerated or fabricated.
This is like a pro-Jewish website here.
They're not saying this is good.
Sure.
But they also found that 40% of students reported learning about the Holocaust through social media.
They're getting information from who knows where, and it's resulting in, did this event ever happen?
And so I'm not, this is not, I'm not, I am not questioning, I'm not, this is not the segment where like you go, I'm not going down this road right now.
But I am trying to say that it's dangerous where you hear the wording.
It's like they're not getting the information from us.
They're getting alternate information.
And I would say this, you should never be afraid of kids, if you're a teacher, right?
Not a parent, but a teacher, of kids learning alternative ideas, if they're not good.
And if they're false, then you should be able to explain it away, not be threatened that they learned about it.
And so they're like, it's like I read a same study about like from a similar thing that they're like, kids are learning from social media, from right-wing, alt-right, you know, meme pages with the crusade hyper edits that, you know, it's not cool to be gay.
And you're like, dude, you're mad because you don't control everyone.
Not everyone's a drone.
Some people like go learn other places.
They realize that school is not about education.
If the Holocaust is what you say it is, then just explain to the kids what it is and show them the evidence.
And who gives a shit if somebody lied to them and told them it didn't happen or something like that?
Then you should be able to do that.
But they don't say that.
They're threatened that a third of kids, it said, like, are getting information about an event, not from them.
And that's where schools are weird.
Like, what the hell?
What does that mean?
You're afraid of your students learning other information?
Like, that, I don't know.
That to me is going to backfire.
Well, they definitely know that they're not being educated.
And they also are going into all of these new challenging viewpoints with that same lack of education.
And so they don't have direction as to how to deal with truth and falsehood.
And so they're just getting propaganda and don't really know how to sift through it.
And so they may find this sort of position more compelling than that position.
But the Christian school that my kids, I have one kid that's in preschool.
And what I really appreciate about that school, he's not in the higher level stuff yet.
But what they do is they teach, it's a classical Christian school and they teach the very best that unbelievers have to offer.
So they have everybody read the absolute best pagans and the best philosophers from all of these different perspectives and teach them how to interact with it, really interact with it, and not just go like, well, turns out everybody was dumb up until like the late 80s, I think.
And then after that, we all just kind of reached the apex of civilization.
Everything's great.
They actually, and so those kids, the kids who are taught the best that unbelief has to offer, are able to engage unbelievers.
So if they can handle, if they can engage with Nietzsche, then they can certainly engage with some random guy on the street who thinks that they're, you know, whatever for believing in Christianity.
And I think the same thing, but those people are in a lot better position also to deal with any kind of information they find online.
So that when those people go to the internet, they're not having to, again, bring their miseducated minds into this online discourse where they, again, don't have any kind of standard of reasoning.
They don't know how to work through the arguments and graph out something logically.
Those things are like building blocks that people should learn in eighth grade, but they just don't.
And so it is tragic, I think, that kids aren't getting educated.
I mean, like I said, I'm a Christian.
So I think that that's been happening for a long time with stuff like evolution.
I think that people are miseducated in that kind of space.
And then as soon as, yeah, you sort of lean on that a little bit too heavy, then all of a sudden that starts falling apart.
And you go, oh, well, what else?
What else is going on?
And the teachers don't have answers as to what else is doubtful because, again, they're not educating.
They're indoctrinating.
Well, yeah.
And I also agree with you on that too.
I mean, I believe that the modern theory of evolution is objectively false and unsubstantiated in almost every claim that's made in terms of origin and transpeciation and just the very basic nomenclature of genetic material sort of, and I guess anabolizing or in some way increasing itself or duplicating or creating new patterns.
We just don't see that.
And it's not observable because it's not how nature works.
Things degenerate, things mutate, things, things, we have corruption.
We do not have this vertical movement towards complexity.
And people that believe in that, it's because they've been brainwashed.
And yes, and yes.
And I've taken, I mean, I did well.
I mean, I've done very well in my, even in, you know, university and everything in my evolutionary classes.
And I did well.
I never gave up on it.
I've studied it for many years.
And I've always tried to be convinced of it.
And I've always tried to understand it.
And I look at it and I go, this is a joke.
And the reason why everyone believes it is because from when you're a child, they just like using, right?
Just like the gay stuff is really about like a communist intersectional ideology.
And it's really about sin.
But the way they lure you in is through an orgasm.
It's through sex and through freedom.
It's always these like nice things, rainbows and freedom.
It lures you in because you want to be accepting and you don't want to be hateful and you want to be inclusive, right?
It's all these words, but it funnels you down into a destructive environment, into a community, right?
Very different from just being a woman who suffers with same-sex attraction.
Now you've joined a community.
You've accepted like the standard.
Evolution's the same way.
It's like they use dinosaurs.
And from when you're like three years old, it's like 500 billion years ago, the earth was everything starts out with 500 billion, 200 billion.
I mean, I feel like it's just like Trump talking about his investment properties.
It changes every day.
Dinosaurs were this many millions of years ago.
Anything that contradicts the narrative gets thrown out of the peer-reviewed journals.
You know, it doesn't make it into the review.
They have a lot of obstruction of evidence.
And then anything that they can't explain, they just go, well, we haven't figured it out yet.
And it's like, but dude, you're wrong.
And you're brainwashing people like a cult to believe in this idea.
And the reason why, because you just, the truth is you want them to think what Revelation said.
When God comes back, people are going to think the earth always was and it says, and then it always will be.
So if you think the earth is this long time scale and it's always been going for billions of years and it's got billions more years, then you're never going to take accountability for your sin.
You're never going to be honest and realize like a thief in the night, Christ is going to come back for his people and you are not going to be ready.
So I don't know.
Maybe my, maybe my canon is wrong there.
I got to get more into my faith.
I got to get back on the, I got to get back into the Christian, into my Christianity better.
I got to get more into this.
You convicted me.
Well, it turns out that, yeah.
Oh, well, it turns out that this evolution thing and the trans flag, both of them have a big issue with authority.
So if evolution is true, if cosmic evolution is true, if there is no God who created us and all just sort of this random process, then there's nobody in authority over you who then can tell you that you are a man and that has given you authoritative chromosomes in your body that are constantly telling you what you are and are constantly making you into that.
And so there is a connection between, yeah, is it were you designed?
Do you have a person who created you fearfully and wonderfully and that that design is intentional and that you are now obligated to live by that design?
Or are you self-created?
Or did you, again, are you some random process?
Are you some changeable being that's arisen through some kind of random thing?
So that then you making a few superficial changes is tiny.
But that's one worldview.
And the other one is, no, you are created to be this way.
And the best thing that you can do is to learn to be more that way.
And that's going to take, again, accepting a reality.
And that means living under authority at some level.
You're no, you're 100% correct.
And like I've seen in the chat, people say, say, you have a nickname.
People said that you are Seth Brother, Seth Rogan's responsible brother.
So Seth Rogan's responsible brother.
That's very fun.
People have also said, check out my new movie.
Yeah, Young Matt Walsh.
I could see that, cousins.
I can see a little you and Matt Walsh and Matt Walsh and you.
I also am seeing, let's see.

And I'm just saying.
It's true.
Look at that.
It's going across the screen.
That looks great.
I was under the impression that everybody's testosterone levels were low because you were hoarding it all.
I've been seeing all these pictures of you online.
It's, you know, impressive.
Bro, Mark Loebliner is just like, he just will not let me ever get fat again.
And I'm grateful for that.
He's just like, don't be.
Nice.
Yeah.
Okay.
He doesn't speak like this.
So I don't want to, I don't want to put, he's really encouraging.
This is my words.
He says like, he'll just be like disappointed in me, like a parent.
Like if I'm like not sending him my weight every day, he'll just be like, you know, he looks like you, he looks like one paper cut and it's all over for him.
He doesn't even have like, I don't, there's no fat on that guy's body.
It's insane.
Like, yeah.
How do you even look like that?
It's awesome.
It's so crazy.
That's amazing.
Have you seen him?
Yeah, I'm just trying to keep up with you.
No, I haven't.
What's his name again?
Dude, he's my trainer.
And he, his name's Mark.
I'm going to bring him up.
He just put up this guy, my trainer, is literally so buff.
Look at this.
He just put up a selfie today.
Insane.
Oh, my goodness.
I said one paper cut and it's all over.
Yep.
Yeah, no, dude.
That looks dangerous.
I feel like if you bump into something, a vein would explode.
Bros, he is terkestral.
It's just his, it's Mark Goldweiner's semen.
He just comes into a cup and you drink it and you get stronger.
So disgusting.
Oh, I hate myself.
Okay, moving on.
He seems like the guy to partner with.
He's like, yeah, that's great.
He's great.
All right.
I want to look at a couple of insane things that have to go with this.
We're talking about if you're just joining in live right now, we're talking about winning the culture war.
Are we winning?
We saw the backlash.
But of course, in the funny and in the Matrix, sometimes there are things that really don't make sense and make me question everything.
This is WTF with Wade Stocks.
Well, Wade was telling me he is having a party.
He invited me and I had a cake made.
Congratulations.
It's a boarded.
Oh, boy.
Hot girl summer in full effect.
This is an unironic post, by the way.
An original, this is the original person who posted it.
It's gone more viral since we started the show, but it was basically nowhere a moment ago.
Share friend was having an abortion and she made her a cake.
Doesn't don't you want to kind of, I kind of want to kill people that kill babies, but I can't say that on the internet.
So I meant in Minecraft, but I also if you kill babies, like that French guy who stabbed babies, I would, I just wanted him to, I wanted someone in prison to rape him anally and disembowel him in Minecraft in prison because in video games, not in real life, because we don't promote violence here, but anyone who hurts babies deserves to die.
Personally, that's my view in Minecraft.
Golly.
Yeah, there's so many people involved in this thing or everybody around whoever made this thought that this would be awesome and like hilarious.
Like if you if you're texting each other like, oh, I said that I made the funniest cake.
Like you and I are just entirely different people.
We have we don't live in the same universe.
Oh, golly.
Yeah, I don't even know what to say with that.
Well, there's more.
I have lots of thoughts about Minecraft activities that you can video games because we condemn violence, but not in video games.
I'm a big Minecraft fan.
Look at this.
So check this out.
So she made a video about it.
know everyone wants to watch this so we're gonna watch it
Come home and get my rocks out.
Herbies from the shop is trying to see me, knock the stops off.
All them bitches meet me at the top.
Think they got lost.
I'm going to go like grease.
She thought I would piss her ass unless they took a man.
Sit around my neck and cross the army link.
Imagine killing your offspring so you could eat shitty cake from Publix and take a shot of vodka.
Imagine that.
Imagine trading the life of a kid and sacrificing a kid to Molak so that you can take more shots of vodka and not be inconvenienced.
Yeah, dude.
I think, yeah, it is shameful.
It's wild that that is not only, again, made, posted, posted with an expectation that there is a willing audience for this.
And there is.
It's not just these people.
It's also all of the social media love that they're getting.
Like everybody who liked that photo is like, their soul is in trouble.
Like, that's serious business.
Golly.
Yeah.
I wish I had more words to say, but golly.
I feel like you're too good of a person.
Like, you're, you're like, if, if, if I, if I had like an angel and a demon, Elijah.
Right?
I, you're the, you're the responsible brother of Seth Rogan.
I'm the schizophrenic brother, and Wade Stotts and Seth Rogen are both on my shoulder, and I don't know who to listen to half the time.
On your shoulder.
Yeah.
I have a little, my own little Wade Stotts in my ear, and I have, I have Rogan, and one of them's like, hey, be honest and convicted for Christ.
And the other one's like, smoke weed every day.
And I'm like, oh, yeah.
And then he does that stupid laugh.
Yeah.
It's a very froy.
He's very LA, very Jewy, froey guy.
He's a very interesting fellow.
And apparently, he doesn't want to have kids.
He said he's not having kids because he wants to him and his wife don't want to have kids because they want to live the lifestyle of whatever life is without kids.
I have seen that he, instead of having children, is making ugly pottery, which is, I guess, an option.
I got to look this up.
Seth Rogan.
No, you haven't seen Seth Rogan's pottery?
No, I haven't.
He evidently has like a whole, like, he fires it and paints it.
Yeah.
So he'll just put some random.
Wait, I'm so confused.
Why is why, when I'm going to his website, is it asking me if I'm over 21?
What is in, what is, what am I about to look at?
Are there dirty pottery items?
Maybe he's put maybe that stick is something else goes wrong.
A blunt, I guess.
Yeah, I guess you put a blunt on sort of an ashtray.
Okay.
Yeah, that's what it looks like.
These are ashtray by Seth.
Does he have a bunch of people?
Oh, yeah, and there's the one that has little growths on it.
Herpes.
Yeah, he made a bunch and then now is selling them.
But it started off as him just posting, like, hey, guys, I made some pots.
And then now it's like a business, I guess.
I am jealous, though.
Look at that house on Hollywood Hills right there.
That's really a nice house, though.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I love that Seth Rogan has a side hustle that's like an Etsy store, but it's just its own website.
What is he doing?
He's made bazillions of dollars.
Judd Abatow would do, like, would just give him money for doing nothing.
And then, yeah, he's like, I got to make sure I got to express my artistic talent in other ways.
I feel like I haven't really.
Yeah.
There's some avenue of creativity I haven't gone down, and I think it's pottery.
That is such an interesting point where it's like, okay, this is where I say to people who want to have kids as a new father, by the way.
And I got to show you this.
I got to show you this, Wade, because I feel like as a dad, you would understand.
You know, when your kids, your wife drips out your kids better than you, and you look at your kids and you go, why don't I get as nice of clothing as this?
Check this out.
My wife dripped my son out today in the Triceratops 3000 X's limited edition by Nike.
And oh, man.
Look at that.
That's great.
That is great.
Isn't that high quality?
Those are cool.
I don't rep those.
She never bought me dinosaur shoes.
So she bought them.
It's not that somebody made those.
I was just going to say, you could probably contact whoever made those.
I get some large ones.
Those seem like some good around-the-house kind of shoes.
That's actually not a bad thing.
I just picture it on a stream one day.
Yeah, Elijah just show one day.
Hey, guys, I did it.
That's what you should do.
You know, Seth Rogan has his pottery.
I think you need to pick up knitting and making a little Triceratops booties for yourself.
Knitter.
But that could be, you know, what?
That's your way forward.
Do you remember?
That reminds me of the time Arthur got accused of being racist.
Do you remember this?
Do you remember this when Arthur's father's father?
You don't remember the Arthur racism episode.
Yeah.
Do you remember this?
This is like, this is a part of the show that this is.
I love that something reminded you of this.
I have no idea real clue.
I saw him with mine own eyes depart the old yarnyard with a pink woolen thread.
Most shameful.
It's not pink.
It's Fisha.
He's a knitter.
Knitter.
Knitter.
No, I know.
But people just cut out the part before he said the first knitter, and it just sounds like, can we listen to one?
It does sound like they are all saying the N-word, does it not?
Yeah.
Golly.
One more time.
It's Fisha.
He's a knitter.
Knitter.
Knitter.
If you didn't know the context, it would sound like your favorite childhood show just dropped the N-word on a children's broadcast.
It's like, K.
Yeah.
Golly.
I love that the children's show on PBS decided to also do a Nathaniel Hawthorne parody where they're like, I got to make sure to do the scarlet letter parody.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You didn't catch the sophisticated literary reference.
No, I didn't.
Because that's when I was supposed to be getting those references.
I was listening to your brother, Seth, and I was smoking weed.
So my brain couldn't develop.
Dude.
Oh, my gosh.
I know.
Let's make a children's parody of a woman who has extramarital sex and then gets like, dude, what even is the kids will love it?
And then we'll make something that sounds like they say the N-word.
That sounds like a great discussion point.
Bringing this up, though, this is something that I thought would be interesting to you.
This is our last story in this segment on the WTF.
It is pretty fascinating to me.
I'm trying to find it now because I'm like going through tabs of Seth Rogan's stuff.
Here it is.
Okay.
So I guess we should spend the whole rest of the show on Seth Rogan pottery.
Me too.
Me too.
Check this out, though.
So there was a congregation of evangelicals or I guess of Protestants in Germany.
Every time Protestants get together, it makes me kind of sad being a Protestant because they just do the cringiest stuff, you know.
Like they come together and this is what they do.
From Mario Nephal, AI leads church sermon.
Over 300 Protestants attended a church service in Germany that was almost entirely generated by AI.
The Chat GPT-led chatbot conducted 40 minutes of prayer, music, sermons, and blessings.
The entire service was hosted by four different avatars on screen.
This is a report.
Hundreds of churchgoers attending that service during Germany's Convention of Protestants.
The 40-minute service was put together by a 29-year-old theologian and philosopher from the University of Vienna.
He says 98% of that mass was the product of Chat GPT, but the congregation said the avatar just didn't have the warmth that they were used to, right?
All right.
Like, I feel like Christians do everything except for follow orthodoxy.
Like, they'll do anything.
They'll listen to anything.
Well, the sad thing is that there's probably a lot more sermon writing done by AI than any of us would really like to know.
It is sort of sad.
But yeah, one time when I was I used to work in churches and I was leading music at this youth group and I heard the youth pastor preach the same sermon twice in two weeks in a row to the same kids.
And I just remember thinking like, yeah, no, so it doesn't surprise me at all.
That guy definitely is using chat GPT to write the majority of his transition stuff.
And it's like, three spiritual words that start with B.
I don't know.
But yeah, no, that is crazy.
I would imagine, yeah, that it would have a little bit less soul.
And I think that soul is something you probably want in a church service.
Maybe that's just me.
No, it's not.
But it's not just you.
Because let me, okay, sometimes, because where I'm at in my faith is like, I'm trying to figure out how to like undo bad habits and like try to understand what obedience looks like, how much tolerance for sin.
And I mean this in a biblical way, should I allow?
Meaning like, where are parts of me that are really difficult to change?
I think the serenity prayer says something like that.
I don't know what exactly.
They say it in like 12-step meetings, right?
About something about having the serenity to accept the things I can accept.
Except what you can't control.
Courage to change the things I can, right?
That's kind of where I'm at in my life, I guess you could say, like a prayer like that, where I'm trying to really say, how do I actually be like, live like a Christian?
Because it's very difficult for me because I have a lot of like bad habits, patterns, and just like ways of thinking that are very carnal or very worldly in that way.
However, what's made me upset about this is the reason why I'm here is because I'm reading the Bible every day.
I'm not perfect by any means.
I'm reading it though, because I'm trying to understand what God's calling for me.
What does he want?
And it's really clear.
And it's like very clear.
And it's frustrating for me, like maybe for many people who watch the show, because when I read something that says, you know, hey, don't, if you get drunk with wine, it'll ruin your life.
Or like, it literally talks about the idea of like not letting unlesome or coarse jesting or like not letting these things come out of your mouth or different things.
And I read that and it's difficult for me because like, well, I can do with not drinking or whatever or not being not being a drunkard or whatever.
Like things like not coarse jesting or like dirty humor and things like that.
Those are things that I do like.
And it feels so natural.
But when I read it, what makes me mad about like everything I see online is it seems like the Christians that I see on the internet are reading a different Bible than me because when I read something and I'm not obeying it and I'm not following it, I still read what it says and I can admit, yeah, you know what?
I'm in sin.
Like I'm doing the wrong thing and I have a bad behavior.
But everyone today, it seems like they just like, either, A, they've just skipped the verses that are too difficult to change in their life and or they just like read a different Bible and like don't even, I don't even know like who God is.
Like God is queer.
I think they said at this at this gathering in Germany, this Protestant, that God is now queer.
And I'm going, you see, this isn't good, but you bitch.
You are so lazy.
Like I read the Bible and I can tell you one thing.
God's not queer at all.
And they're like, God's inclusive.
God is not inclusive.
In fact, he said as narrow is the path.
And I'm frustrated because I'm not, I see that not all my life is in alignment with scripture and it's convicting and it's and it's hard.
But I go, when did you just go be an atheist or just don't or just be worldly?
Don't try to make like, why are you going to church if there's an AI preacher?
What is God to you?
And it like drives me nuts being a Protestant and being in this stuff of like, when I'm looking for the answers, when I'm trying to understand, it feels like the state of Christianity is so vapid and so empty that AI, like you said, either A, you can literally be taught by AI or your pastor or your friends.
It's like, dude, those sermons, I've been to some churches recently.
I haven't found a good one out here.
Dude, they talk to you like you're four years old and you just found out about God nine minutes before the service.
Like, do you know this?
Here's three letters I want you to remember.
S-I-N.
S stands for salvation because Jesus came to save us.
And you go, I'm about to commit a genesis homicide here.
Like this pastor is pissing me off.
So I, you know what I'm saying?
Like, so it's just, it's, it's, it's difficult.
And I feel like that's why a lot of people don't go to church.
I feel like a lot of Christians are wandering.
They're lost.
And I think a lot of people are in my position where it's like, you kind of get hot and cold, hot and cold, and you're kind of like playing because the state of the state of things, it's like really hard to get connected.
It's really hard to connect with Christians because everyone's like following some other religion.
I have no idea.
But you're wise.
So I throw that out.
Well, the great thing, yeah, I mean, the great thing about an AI pastor is that he won't tell you anything that you are doing wrong.
So like you talked about people out there who read the Bible or don't read the Bible and sort of stand in authority over it.
There's no AI that is ever going to stand in authority over you.
Like if you correct an AI something, the other day I was looking for like lists, things that there are seven of, just for like, I don't even remember what it was, but I, and then it said like, there are seven of these, there are seven dwarves or whatever.
And it said there are seven Supreme Court justices.
And I said, no, there are nine U.S. Supreme Court justices.
And they said, oh, thank you.
Like that, that's the human relationship with AI.
And if you're trying to make your church into that, or if you're trying to make the Bible, your relationship to that, then yeah, of course, you're just an old-fashioned hypocrite.
Like there's nothing new about that.
That's the exact thing that Jesus talked to the Pharisees about.
So there's nothing like brand new about it.
And also the Pharisees were the religious leaders of the day.
And so their practices were probably widespread.
So the hypocrisy was at the top, but it was also across the board and everything that Jesus was seeing.
So yeah, it is discouraging.
It's tough to see that.
And if you can find, yeah, like churches that do see the Bible as being an authority over them, if Christ, if Christ is Lord over them and they are then in authority over you as a congregation and you are submitting to yourself to that leadership, that's like that's a really great place to be for growth because, yeah, you are going to bump up against things and you're going to see somebody who's way better than you at something.
And then you're just like, then you have to deal with the idea that you're like, you start to like fight and then go and then realize, oh, I'm just envying.
And oh, that's another sin.
And then I'm like, so it all just kind of compounds.
But what you do is, yeah, you just have to live in that kind of environment for a little while and you get better.
It's like, that's just the way God has designed things is for those things to work in community and that community to have a certain hierarchical structure.
And without those things, yeah, you end up with AI preachers who will do whatever the congregation says or whatever the whoever the theologian who is back there typing and 98% of it being AI.
Yeah, of course.
This is nothing, it's the exact direction that you expect people to go, but it is not happening everywhere.
And there are people who are doing it right and they're they're probably looking for you too.
Well, yeah, dude, I sometimes I just feel like too broken, you know, like it's pretty tough.
Like I have a friend out here.
I actually made a pretty good Christian friend, like my only friend out here in Australia.
And I was like, dude, I just feel like I'm like, I'll never like be what the Bible is asking like men to be or this kind of stuff.
Like I'm like too broken.
And he was like, he kind of slapped me silly and was like, dude, there was a dude that was like naked and cut himself and like had a thousand demons inside of him.
And then he like served Christ.
I think you're not cutting yourself and you're not naked.
And maybe, you know, you struggle with the same things all men struggle with and you have the same heart that all humans have and that all humans struggle with.
And that it's like some of the same things in life.
But at the same time, he's like, dude, if you have a desire, like sometimes it just, it just takes that discipline and it takes that discipline.
And I think, I think about that a lot.
I just wish I was, you know, it's a lot of, there's a lot that goes into it, but I think there's a lot of people.
I really like the SOB audience, slightly offensive audience, because while it's not majority of Christian people that watch this show, and you don't have to be a Christian to watch this show, and it's not like that's a requirement, there's just like a lot more people I'm seeing that are at least interested in God and realizing that life sucks on doing it on your own, you know?
And I think that's a really good, good move for people because I want to bring this up on this next segment.
You guys sent me this story.
And this is actually hilarious.
I think this is funny.
These are pics from you guys.
You guys sent these in on locals.
These are stories you guys chose for us to discuss.
Let's look at the story today.
A man faked his own death before turning up at his own funeral in a helicopter.
We have the video.
It's wild.
Stay tuned.
I don't know if Rumble went down.
I usually switch over to Rumble and I told everyone to go over to Rumble, but I don't know if we're going to go over to Rumble today because somebody said it's kind of down.
So who knows?
But you can watch the replay of the live if you missed it and you might be over here on YouTube.
This is a true story, apparently, allegedly.
A man faked his own death.
One of you guys sent this in before turning up at his funeral in a helicopter to teach his family a lesson.
And we have the video.
We can go ahead and watch this.
is apparently what happened.
At a funeral.
If you're just tuning in, a man faked his own death, and the family is running over because he just came out of a helicopter at his funeral.
I'm gonna try skipping ahead here So confused People are crying.
I guess he wanted to teach him a lesson.
I guess the lesson was, I'm an asshole.
Yeah, what's the story?
Who would ever do this?
That's insane.
Well, like, they're relieved and also, like, screw you, dude.
Like, what?
I just grieved.
Like, golly, man.
Where's the more here's more applies?
Yeah, what?
Does anyone have the story here?
Lesson they wanted to teach.
Yeah.
Everybody just making jokes about it.
Ah, classic.
Yeah, someone said, nobody's going to pull up to the next funeral.
That is so bizarre.
Dude, why would you do that?
I don't think that's an okay thing.
Yeah.
I don't find that to be okay.
Right?
That's not an okay thing.
I don't like that.
That has nothing to do with anything.
You guys sent that in with no explanation, just a tweet.
Thanks, guys.
Really good stuff.
Good content, locals.
I wonder, yeah, either this guy was like a real prankster.
Like, that could be a possibility.
You got over here also the idea that he's just trying to be mean and hates his family.
Yeah, I don't know.
We're just left to guess.
Let's see.
Where are you at?
Where's these locals people at?
Okay.
I also want to read a couple of your guys's tips here on locals.
From Laura Al sent $5 said Pride Month question for Elijah and Wade.
We'll just go to you for this one.
Who do you think is the snappiest dresser?
Vladimir Zelensky or John Fetterman?
I got to go with Zelensky on this one.
I think the hoodie and the shorts, you know, yeah, yeah, it's Zelensky.
The green shirt, it's nice.
You know, it has become a cliche by this point, but I got to say, if Zelensky walks into Zelensky's wearing like a Target outfit, and we've got Fetterman over here with the Walmart sort of outfit.
So I've got to go.
I got to go with Zelensky.
What do you think, Elijah?
I got to say, the reason John Fetterman, well, Zelensky's wife is an attractive actress.
I call her an actress.
And I feel like she at least makes him wear pants.
You know what I mean?
And John Fetterman's wife lets him wear shorts that go to your shins.
And I feel like, well, I believe in freedom, you know, there's a couple things that make me consider fascism and putting you in prison.
And one of them would be wearing shorts at formal settings that go to your shins because they don't look good.
Imagine also like you're.
Yeah.
Go ahead.
I was just going to say, you're walking into the Senate chamber.
He's a senator, right?
But he's walking in there and he's got like his keys and his phone in the like belly pocket.
And he's not like a light guy, but yeah, just the awkward bulges around him.
He's a strange fellow.
Yeah, I was going to say, so it's the shin, the shin thing.
Also, somebody else said.
I don't want to see any senators' knees.
No.
Never.
No.
Or senators on their knees because that's a scandal that's waiting to happen.
Anyway, someone also said, Drun Drummond Remerck, I don't know how to say your guys' name, said, why does your guest look like Adio Wade from LWC?
It's a good question.
Yeah, people tell me that all the time that I do look like that guy.
Yeah, he looks pretty close to it.
We have one more from the George Says Senate Tip said he faked his own death to teach to them a lesson in not believing everything you see on the news.
Okay.
So that must have been who sent in the story.
I didn't know that.
Yeah.
Well, it seems like it could have taught that lesson in a different way, maybe a less expensive way.
100%.
Maybe you send like some articles.
Yeah, 100%.
Well, let's just say happy real fast.
This is totally a dumb thing that I don't even care about.
But somebody broke a record.
And because all these kids get all this gay stuff pushed down their throats, both literally and figuratively, I saw a video of kids being kids again and it made me happy.
These are just videos that are just like wins, but like watching kids do stuff that involves rainbows but isn't gay brought me back to the 90s.
Let's check this out.
Well, this is really not a win or a white pill, but check this out.
I like the reaction.
The Rubik's Cube world record, very important news here, was broken.
The Rubik's Cube World Record occurred here.
And I want you to pay attention to the kids' reaction.
And it was nice to see kids being kids.
You know what I mean?
And like not being in front of like dudes with their buttholes open on the street.
Like every video of kids now is just some degenerate crap I see shared that it's like nice to see this.
Check this out.
This is wild.
And of course, it's an Asian who beat it because Asians do weird shit like this.
Just a bunch of nerds in a gym freaking out.
Wow.
I was impressed.
I just liked seeing that fat kid jiggling and childhood obesity on display.
And this like little Rubik's Cube competition just for a second.
Thank you, Elijah.
I didn't expect that in my day.
Yeah, I've decided to start towards the end of the show just including stuff that has nothing to do with politics sometimes in these things or anything like serious because it's just it's overwhelming some days.
It's just too much shit going on that I just am like, can I just see an Asian kid doing the most Asian thing possible?
Like, other than causing a car accident, you know, just solving Rubik's Cube in an ungodly amount of time.
That's God.
That's how he made the earth.
It was like, oh, that was amazing.
Yeah.
Anyway, that has nothing to do with anything.
All right, our last segment.
Our last segment will be only, I guess we will go to Rumble.
Rumble's back up.
So, guys, our last segment with Wade will be closing out the show on Rumble.
So, if you're not at Rumble, I'm putting the link in the chat.
Go to rumble.com/slash slightly offensive.
See you over there in just a moment.
All right,
we are back, ladies and gentlemen, uh.
We are back on Rumble.
If you're here on Rumble, remember we are only live on Rumble and locals now for this last segment with our guest who's in the studio live.
He's preparing for war or something.
I was waiting until we were on Rumble to answer the question: what's up with the water buckets?
Yeah, like you said, I'm preparing for war and I just want to be plenty hydrated when it happens.
Yeah, this is basically my bunker.
It's where I take the show.
That's very cool.
And that's to remind people that if you want your own bunker, you've got to get Fort Patriots food supply.
Go to fourpatriates.com.
They are one of the sponsors for today.
You've got to check them out.
I'm just getting another ad in there because you really do need to get yourself supplies 25 years that can just be stored correctly.
And also, if you go through a financial difficulty, you can also eat this food, not in an emergency, too, which is kind of cool.
Because apparently, I know there's one of the people that watched the show had ended up buying some of this stuff, and then someone lost the job and ended up living on it for a month.
And they said it was good.
That's great.
Yeah, it's not great.
No, it's not great that they can lose a job anytime.
Well, it's great that they had four patriots.
Yeah, they had four patriot food supply.
You should check it out.
Okay.
This is the next segment.
Is just you.
These are just some stories.
I'm not putting anything degenerate on the screen today because I've seen too much today.
I've seen too much on Twitter.
I don't want to see any more penises, vaginas.
I'm just done with it.
So these are a little bit different stories.
They are gross, but it's also by judging a book by its cover.
These are things that I've seen and I've watched.
So you have to as well.
This is the gross, the ugly, and the disgusting.
let's look at it apparently people are back to doing this uh They are spitting inside of drinks.
And I don't know how many people need to go to jail for this, but this segment is: don't judge a book by its cover until you need to.
I don't.
Can we just actually have an existential question here?
Is it supposed to be funny?
Is it like, is this like what is where is it a joke?
Is it a prank?
Is it maliciousness?
Where do we go here, Wade?
Give us some insight.
I am, yeah.
I am wondering when you get the laugh, like when the big reveal is.
I guess you just sit there and wait for somebody to get the third Arizona iced tea.
And then you, or you just like sit at home and you just think, like, oh, man, I did it.
I did it.
You just get that satisfaction.
Somebody out there is drinking my spit.
And then, yeah, I guess you get a big laugh.
I guess you just cackle at home by yourself.
Nobody's going to be spitting in this, right?
No one's spitting in your Four Patriots food supply because it's in your home in your bunker.
Yeah, and I expect better from Pete Davidson in the video.
I had nothing to do.
That's that freaking Pete.
Dude, Pete Davidson is the apparently the reason why all the girls date him is because he's well endowed.
That's what the rumor on the street is, is that he's well endowed.
Apparently, God blessed him with many things, just not mental peace, right?
He's got a lot of mental problems.
So he didn't give him mental health, but he did give him a donkey dong, apparently.
Yeah, next best thing to good, fun personality, I guess.
Yeah, it's like, it's like, dude, imagine that.
Imagine that that was God's prank.
Like, you do get a giant, you get a giant penis that's like better than all your friends, but you also are suicidal.
So you're the worst.
Yeah, like you, you have, yeah.
You don't even have a bad personality.
You are a bad person.
You are a bad person.
You're in the definition of bad personality.
So it's like, you're a shitty human being, but you have a giant penis.
Is it worth the trade-off?
I'd say maybe.
That's an interesting point.
I think about this every day, but and it depends.
Yeah, so since it's Wednesday, I'll say no.
Yeah, because it doesn't matter that much.
Honestly, I never understood this.
I feel like the only time you would care about that, like they put that on the on the TV, you know, like Pete Davidson's got this blah, blah, blah, blah.
It's like, like, I saw some people on Twitter too.
Like, they'll like, you know, they'll like make fun of each other's looks.
And it's like, we're adults.
Like, who even cares?
Like, like, I saw this one gamer was making fun of Ian Miles Chong's face.
And I'm like, he's like, oh, you can't be talking shit when you look like this and puts a picture of Ian Miles Chong's face up.
And then I looked at the guy who's talking shit on him.
And then his face looked like the same, but Indian.
And I'm like, but I just don't understand.
Like, we're adult men.
Like, you think some of the adults are going to get their feelings hurt because you made fun of your face?
Like, that shit matters when you're 12.
Like, I'm ugly, and I don't care.
Like, I'm ugly.
And my happiness is dependent on whether I cannot be a jackass for a week or not.
Not based on the fact that I have good looks because that's never, I've just accepted my fate.
You know what I mean?
I'm an average-looking guy, and that's as good as it gets with a micro-penis.
With a micro penis.
Okay.
Yeah.
So you, you have not had to deal with the trade-off, is what you're saying.
You've not, this, this deal was not, this Faustian bargain was not given to you.
Okay.
God gave me height.
You gave me height and a micro penis.
Okay.
Grow again.
How many are you?
Seven foot.
Okay.
No, I'm six foot.
Really?
No, I'm just six, too.
How tall are you?
I'm about the same.
Yeah.
Ah.
So we're just a couple of large dudes here over on the Rumble.
A couple of eights.
Like my wife, though, she's okay with it because when we got married, I provided her tweezers.
So we still have fun and we were able to have a baby.
So I'm very happy about it.
I will say this, though.
Ending on some personal stuff here is you don't talk about your personal life all that much, but you are a father.
You are married.
You have a life.
And so I kind of want to just end the show.
How is Wade Stots doing?
What's going on in your life?
Like, I know you said a little bit in the beginning.
But yeah, like, how do people find you?
How do they follow you?
Like, just what's going on, dude?
It's been, you know, two years.
We mentioned the beginning of the show.
A lot of people are just tuning in now.
And I'd like to end on a personal, personal note.
What have you been up to?
Yeah.
So a couple years ago, I came, I moved up to Idaho to work at Canon Press.
And we have YouTube channels and stuff like that.
So a lot of it has been kind of helping with the video department here, make sure that we're doing everything that we can and been working in the marketing team in general.
So a lot of fun.
It's a Christian Publisher up in Northern Idaho.
We have a streaming service called Canon Plus.
And so being able to be around while that was kind of launching and stuff like that.
So it's been a really fun time.
And that was, I moved here at the beginning of 2021.
And so since then, I so I moved here with two boys, two kids.
And then last, let's see, a year and a half ago almost, we had my third.
And then my wife is now pregnant with our fourth.
And so we've had, we have three boys and the fourth one is going to be a girl.
So we're very excited.
It'll be an adventure.
It feels like starting all over.
We've got these, you know, we're used to having a bunch of smelly little boys.
And then now we have like all these frilly little dresses that we've bought for the little baby.
So it's like, it is an entirely different thing.
And we're just kind of, we're just, yeah, looking forward to it.
We're still picking out names.
Yeah.
So life's good.
Life's been really good for the last couple of years.
And you know what?
That's just really cool because like that's really good to hear, man.
Because, you know, like, and this is, this is a real shout out to people.
I had tweeted something out that's kind of like a reminder for the audience.
You know, like there are, life has a lot of high highs and it has a lot of very low lows.
And like, you don't beat yourself up if you're in a low.
And also don't get too cocky if you're in a high.
You know, like appreciate it all and realize that there's like a beauty in life.
There's a circadian rhythm of life, right?
A sleep cycle.
And sometimes, you know, light, it's dark.
Sometimes it is bright.
But one thing that is really good is like, just don't give up.
And don't beat yourself up.
You know, if you're lost a job, if you're fat, if you, whatever, maybe your marriage isn't great.
Maybe you have problems with your kids.
Maybe your finances aren't in order.
Like, you know, every one of you has your own set of problems and your own set of issues.
But keep your eyes on God.
Keep your eyes on hope and start making some changes.
You know, maybe it's frustrating.
Maybe you have a problem with spending.
Maybe you're just autistic.
So your marriage is not that great.
I don't know.
Maybe you can't change it.
However, just remember, like, remember what matters.
Remember what's important.
Say, love, love the people next to you.
Tonight, you know, or tomorrow, give your kid a kiss.
Good night, your spouse.
Text your parents, somebody, let them know you love them.
Because life can be good if you let it be good.
And because there will always be problems.
There's always going to be issues.
There's always going to be, you always need extra money for this or whatever.
It's all going to be there.
It's never going to stop.
So don't let it focus on that.
And be like Wade, Seth Rogan's little brother, ladies and gentlemen.
Make sure you find him, follow him in the links below.
Wade, thank you so much for coming on the show.
I really appreciate it.
You are an awesome guest.
You have a show on YouTube.
Everyone should watch it.
Everyone should subscribe to it.
Is it on Rumble too or no?
It's not on Rumble right now.
So all of our backups and all of our sort of stuff is over at Canon Plus, mycanonplus.com.
So that's our failsafe.
Is it Christian Plus?
Streaming service.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's a, it's an online streaming library.
I saw that you interviewed Michael Foster recently.
We've got his book, his audio book and stuff.
We just did a documentary with him.
So yeah, a ton of fun stuff going on there.
Pastor Douglas Wilson, a lot of great, a lot of great material.
Yeah, mycannonplus.com.
And so that's where our, that's our, we've had paywall content there.
We have a lot of free content.
But yeah, as far as like Christian devotional stuff, it's the best stuff that's out there.
We really stand behind what we do.

And like I mentioned, I'm in the middle of working on a new studio.
We've got some big projects in the work.
Very exciting things.
But please pray for me.
Please pray for my family.
Sometimes I just struggle, you know, in my personal life, just like I'm just isolated, right?
I don't have like any friends and I'm just like in another country and it's just kind of sad sometimes.
And it's hard.
It's hard for me to be out here.
And it's really hard for me to get used to this culture and these people while I'm here.
Just getting some stuff done that I need to get done and spending time with family that's well needed after years of being separated.
So please pray for me and my family that God would give us strength and love and pray for Wade as well.
Thank you so much, Wade.
Have a great night, man.
Thank you.
You too.
All right, guys.
Music will continue playing on locals.
The chat is going to be up for another half hour.
