	My Saturday coffee is coming over me.
	If you really had a country career and billed yourself as the Jewish country singer, you would probably do pretty well.
	I would suck at it.
	You'd have Saturdays off for the rest of your life.
	You could never perform on a Saturday and it'd be awesome.
	Because it'd have to be Jewish?
	You'd just be touring exclusively with Madas Yahu.
	Can you come out and beatbox to a song that you croon over?
	Wow, normally I don't like Hasidic country, but...
	The liberals are destroying California, and conservative humor gone awry... Conservative humor gone awry is going to fascistphonia today.
	So stay tuned, we're going to take a few pictures of the desert and how their policies are actually messing it up.
	It's not beautiful when you go across that border.
	Stay tuned guys, we'll show you exactly what it looks like when the storm is in the desert.
	All their environmental stars.
	Stay tuned.
	I'm Alexander Edward.
	I'm Martin Matt.
	And I'm Tony Boswell.
	And we are Minion Death Cult.
	The world is ending.
	Kanye West is unfortunately as responsible as probably anyone we've ever talked about on this show.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	We're documenting it.
	Speaking of the man, if you are interested in the Kanye West saga that just continues to unfold in a deleted part of this very episode, I refer to it as the Kanye incident, but there's been multiple incidents since then.
	It just keeps happening over and over and it's Continuously mind-boggling.
	We talked about it on the bonus episode of Minion Death Cult, and when I say bonus episode, I mean more like a premium episode, because a bonus is like a surprise, right?
	This is more like an ongoing dedication to the listener.
	Can we call him Creamulum?
	You can call him Creamulum, yeah.
	Creamulum.
	We'll take a vote on that real quick.
	Can Matt call him Creamulum?
	Yeah, you can, yeah.
	Can we call them Cremulum Episodes?
	Hold on, you just went from, can you call them Cremulum to can we in?
	Yeah, can we all call them?
	I'm gonna, I'm gonna not.
	Yeah, I vote no on that.
	I feel like I can't give it the respect it deserves, but you seem to be nailing it, so.
	Whatever, dude.
	I like it.
	Okay, yeah, so, uh, those premium episodes happen every Monday.
	You have to subscribe to the Patreon.
	That is P-A-T-R-E-O-N dot com slash MinionDeathCult for $3.11 a month.
	You get a premium episode every week.
	And, uh, this week's premium episode, as you may have heard in the, uh, In a teaser version on the feed.
	Yeah, we talked about Kanye West.
	Particularly Candace Owens.
	His muse.
	His right-wing, neo-conservative, pull-yourself-up-by-your-sagging-pants conservative muse.
	You think they've hung out before?
	They will soon.
	They did in that Ben Garrison comic.
	Yeah, yeah they did.
	They were writing dirty in that Ben Garrison comment.
	I'm comic.
	Fucking stupid.
	So we talked about Candace Owens and how confused and reprehensible her politics are and just how bad she is at politics in general.
	How fucking whack she is.
	It's amazing how any person who's not already like angry at black people would Find her arguments compelling in any way because she literally refers to these 200 years, 400 years of slavery with a sarcastic tone.
	Yeah.
	Which is really interesting.
	So we talked about that this Monday.
	That's the premium episode of Minion Death Cult.
	Patreon.com slash Minion Death Cult.
	You're missing out.
	You're missing out on double the episodes.
	Double the fun.
	Okay, so yeah, I mean, now what's Kanye doing?
	He's wearing a MAGA hat.
	He's posting pictures of his signed MAGA hat.
	His Donald Trump signed MAGA hat.
	That's Donald Trump's signature?
	That's what Donald Trump's signature looks like, dude.
	What the fuck?
	Yeah, it's like a bunch of scratchy... It looks like a sine wave.
	It's kind of tight.
	It looks kind of tight.
	They're not a sine wave.
	It looks like a... like a... some like... like... if you're hooked up to EKG and you're like dying.
	It looks like his heart monitor.
	Yeah.
	It looks like Donald Trump's heart monitor.
	Yeah.
	It's definitely not letters of any sort.
	That's like the worst... It's like the worst thing Kanye could have posted.
	Like, he could have posted a picture of him and Donald Trump and it wouldn't be as bad as like...
	Looking at a MAGA hat proudly displayed by Kanye West.
	Signed by Donald Trump.
	It is the most pathetic thing I've ever seen and it breaks my heart.
	I'm so fucking sad about this.
	It's like a weathered in MAGA hat too.
	Like it looks like it's been worn.
	He wears it around the house.
	He's been wearing it around the house the whole time.
	He's been working in it in the backyard.
	Well, he has to wear it to show that he's one of Donald Trump's African Americans.
	He probably had somebody wear it for a couple months, and now that it's perfectly worn in, now he can wear it.
	No, he bought it off, what is that, fucking Grailed.
	He bought it off Grailed.
	He bought it off Grailed, yeah.
	He bought it, you know, for like 500 bucks.
	Only then will he buy it.
	It's like a Milo worn one-time MAGA hat.
	Uh, what do we think Kanye's doing?
	Do we think Kanye's trying to sell records?
	Do we think Kanye's, uh, off his rocker again?
	Uh, well yeah, it's probably, it's, I mean, he... I mean, I just can't believe this.
	I don't know, it's just... Fuck.
	I don't know.
	I'm gonna shut the fuck up.
	I don't know.
	It's a combination of things, but we need to talk about this quick because we kind of did this to ourselves.
	In the episode, in the Patreon episode, we do talk about who is going to be our Blue Star Boy, and we gave the Blue Star Award to Miss Owens.
	Yeah.
	And I think he caught word of that and was like, nah, fuck that.
	So I'm gonna let you finish.
	I'm gonna let you finish.
	But I'm going to be the best blue star boy of the week.
	And he came through with that fire today.
	Being the most blue star boy.
	I mean, he's a competitor, that's for sure.
	So right up top, are we just going to give Kanye a blue star boy?
	Well, I think we need to give him her blue star.
	Alright, yeah, we can just shift it over.
	Because she's been kind of corny since the whole thing.
	She hasn't said anything tight.
	She's just been real lame.
	She's been resting on her laurels of getting a shout out from Kanye West.
	Literally the best thing that's ever going to happen in her life.
	Kanye's been talking about fucking Dragonblood the whole time.
	Like, what the fuck?
	Yeah, dude, Trump tweeted him back and shit.
	So is Kanye trolling?
	Is he a true believer?
	Does Kanye just not know what the fuck he's talking about and he likes Donald Trump's style?
	Like, when he catches a glimpse of it?
	No, this... he is a rich person now.
	He's been rich for a long time.
	He has holidays with people like the Jenners, you know?
	Yeah.
	This is who he golfs with.
	If he golfs, he golfs these people.
	He's with these people.
	He's rich and he's You know, lost it.
	He acquired the dragon blood and now he's crazy.
	But I think there's a hope that maybe he's going to drop this album, right?
	Because he does not need publicity.
	Life of Pablo did great.
	Yeah, but that doesn't stop him from saying wild shit to get it.
	Exactly.
	He doesn't really need this.
	But what would be crazy is, and this is not going to happen, but I'm just trying to hope for the best.
	Maybe his album will be just full of just like anti-fascist statements and like a really bold take to like the people it's not gonna happen but it'd be kind of cool if it did but it's not gonna happen and we lost we lost one guys he's it's a big one I don't want to forgive him for it I don't it's not funny No, I think he's like, yeah, he's like wealthy now.
	He's got a lot of privilege that he didn't have before.
	Um, and I think he's able to probably, I mean, this is my charitable, this is my very charitable interpretation of what's happening.
	Uh, he's able to tune out of politics.
	He's able to not pay attention to the day to day goings on of the Trump administration, you know, and, uh, a lot of people don't anyway, because they're working or whatever.
	And so he might just see some sort of, outsider dude in the presidency because Donald Trump is loud and says what's on his mind and he fell for the same trap that a lot of people seem to have fallen for.
	It's kind of smart.
	It is kind of capitalism at its best.
	So Jay-Z has Samsung, right?
	Trey has Apple, right?
	And Kanye can just get the White House.
	And that could be his brand ambassadorship.
	He can do like Yeezy season capsules of bills to save Chicago because apparently that's what some of this is about.
	I wish it was more about that.
	That'd be really cool.
	Because I think that is a thing but he's going about this I'm just not know how he's going about this.
	I think it's really hard for us to even wrap our head around it because it's like we can't even imagine like you know supporting Trump so like it's really just it's we don't have the capacity to get to that side of thinking like There are four albums I've been looking forward to this year so badly that I'm just going to kind of be forced to ignore.
	Because I don't want to in any way give him any money for anything.
	Maybe I'll just, even though I pay for streaming services, maybe I'll just download those albums.
	And buy every Yeezy that comes out.
	Only buy bootleg Yeezys.
	Start selling bootleg Yeezys.
	But yeah, like I said, I think it's...
	Sad.
	We lost one here.
	Yeah.
	Definitely depressing.
	I have a lot of fun takes on it on the Twitter.
	Yeah.
	Shameless plug.
	Ward is Bond.
	Go follow me.
	I'm way funnier than Twitter thinks I am.
	You be the judge, listener.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, I just think it's the biggest shame is not that I had like I can't pretend to have had like any sort of emotional connection with Kanye but I realize how big of an influence he has on the public and you know the massive cultural icon he is and it's bad when one of those people starts supporting a crypto fascist strongman
	Kanye convinced a culture that would only wear a white tee and Air Force Ones one time and then throw them away to start dressing literally like a transient person.
	Yeah.
	He convinced the same culture to do that.
	Yep.
	This this person Pulls weight.
	Yeah, he's gonna get the kids to vote for Trump in 2020.
	But, you know, maybe the good outcome of this is that this has been a really good week in PR for black people.
	For, like, white people kind of lacking black people.
	It's been a really good week in PR for that.
	So maybe, maybe we can go a week and a half without shooting an unarmed black person?
	That'd be cool.
	I'll put the suggestion in.
	With the local sheriff.
	Yeah, I mean like, we got Kanye.
	My friend sent me a screencap of a text from her dad and it said, Hey, your boy Kanye is on the A-team now.
	Jesus.
	Man.
	Yeah, and I was like, oh fuck man.
	I like totally knew your dad was one of those people.
	One of those people.
	I love how they just accept him.
	Just open arms immediately after.
	Of course.
	Across the board.
	Donald is just... Oh, they love it.
	They love Kanye.
	They don't even call it fake fans.
	They don't even call it bandwagoners.
	Like, fuck a bandwagoner.
	Dude, if Kathy Griffin suddenly decided that she loved Trump, they would love her in return.
	And forget about every bad thing ever.
	Yeah, every bad thing she did, like when she cut off his head.
	Sorry, yeah, when she cut off his head, yeah.
	Terrible.
	Sorry.
	Disrespect the presidency of the United States, you know.
	Yeah, let's get into the episode proper here.
	Okay.
	Today we're talking about the Waffle House shooting, another mass shooting, this time with an edge.
	This time with a hint of color to it, let's say.
	And as for the trolls who spammed our recent promoted post for the podcast on Facebook, We're going to take the high road and totally ignore your presence.
	You mean nothing to us.
	And of course, I'm just kidding.
	We're devoting an entire segment to the lovely people who felt compelled to comment on our promoted Facebook post, which is amazing.
	It's kind of amazing when content just falls into your lap.
	Something's wrong.
	Pretty visible post by the way.
	It's pretty cool.
	This is like the only content we've ever paid for on this show.
	So thank you Patreon subscribers.
	Disclaimer right there.
	We actually we paid for this and got something massive in return.
	Alright, but first Waffle House.
	I'm gonna hand it over to Tony.
	So, there was a shooting last week at Nashville at the Waffle House.
	Some of you guys know about this.
	I think seven people died.
	A man walked into a Waffle House.
	He had a handgun, right?
	Oh, no.
	He did not have a legal concealed carry permit and a handgun.
	He had an AR, not to be confused with an assault rifle, an AR-15.
	Oh, really?
	That's weird.
	Yeah.
	It's weird that that gun would be used in a mass shooting.
	Yeah.
	It's also, I mean, also totally not relative at all.
	Younger Caucasian man.
	That's also not important.
	These are just things.
	I'm not a terrorist.
	But what was really amazing was the hero of the story.
	A young man by the name of James Shaw Jr.
	He's the hero of the Waffle House.
	He tackled said shooter.
	Got a little scuffed up in the melee.
	Got hurt.
	Somebody started to go funny for him.
	And that's really what we're talking about here.
	Genuinely awesome, like really kind of the story of so many more people would have died if this guy didn't tackle that guy.
	This guy James Shaw Jr.
	went into action.
	He says he's not a hero.
	He's very humble about the whole thing.
	Guy's a fucking hero, dude.
	And the only people, I'm not even going to cover these ones, but the only thing people were saying was, just watch the left now.
	Oh, a good guy stops a gun, not a good guy with a gun.
	I didn't see anybody actually say that.
	I just saw people say the left was saying it.
	So they were just saying it for us.
	It was kind of tight.
	Aren't we hypocrites?
	Aren't we hypocrites for not saying what they said?
	But they definitely never, like, they definitely never denied the fact that he is a hero and a good person.
	Yeah, that's an amazing thing to do.
	I don't think... I think it's a totally reasonable reaction to hide from an active shooter.
	I think that that's probably something most people can't even control.
	And it's pretty amazing that he was able to do anything, let alone be effective in doing it.
	Well, then you don't know about this thing that we learn in biology.
	It's called fight-or-flight.
	Yeah, bro.
	Which, if you don't know about, it's explained all throughout the comments also.
	Okay, good.
	So I'll learn about it.
	I don't know about it.
	I might even talk about this one because that's the most basic take.
	But all this, like, fight-or-flight, how to survive.
	Send me to the post later.
	Just teasing ya.
	Send them the wiki link for fight-or-flight.
	I'm sure it's interesting.
	So, uh, yeah, there's some interesting takes about this GoFundMe specifically, because they did sort of GoFundMe to pay for his medical bills and any type of costs he might incur throughout the recovery.
	Because his arm got fucked up.
	His arm got fucked up, yeah.
	It's like, it's like when you get an arm, when you get, like, when you skin your arm, but it's like a huge gouge taken out of it.
	Yeah, he definitely got messed up in the melee, but he did his business.
	Oh, and the shooter ran away, so they caught him a couple days later, but he ran away.
	We'll talk about that in a minute, too.
	So just to start off, John Henry... So this is... Sorry, I'm gonna stop you right here.
	This is from a specific post, right?
	Yes.
	This is from the Daily Wire... Yes, this is from the Daily Wire.
	On what?
	Just on DailyWire?
	Yeah, on DailyWire.
	It just says GoFundMe for Wildflower's Hero raises more than $50,000 overnight.
	Right, it's an article about that GoFundMe.
	Yeah.
	Sorry, continue.
	Just to kind of... John Henry Says, I've read the headlines of this of this piece and it was like a light bulb flashing.
	Go fund me!
	Is one way good people can support heroes who make sacrifices for others.
	I don't like SJW types.
	Who does?
	Yeah, who does?
	They're the worst.
	Literal worst.
	But I'd make an exception in the case of, quote, Holly, the manager who called, uh, police to evict the two, quote, gentlemen freeloaders from her Starbucks in Philly.
	You know, she doesn't like SJWs, but she'll make the exception for Holly, the SJW who was offended by the black man in her lobby.
	Yeah, what the fuck does that even mean?
	So stupid.
	Normally, I don't like people who react in society to anything.
	Normally, I have a really, like, anti-responding policy.
	So, is she also saying that GoFundMe is an SJW move?
	That's possibly it, yeah.
	He's saying that, John Henry.
	We'll assume John Henry's gender here.
	Yeah, you know, John Henry.
	It's all the SGW setting up the GoFundMe's for the wall.
	Anyways.
	Do you remember when that good American machine kicked John Henry out of his profession?
	Yep.
	That was brutal.
	He's been pretty mad about capitalism since then.
	Yeah, I was gonna say that maybe Trump will be able to employ him on building the border wall.
	Get that guy down there.
	No, this guy might get a job with Yeezy if he plays his cards right.
	Do you remember that movie Tall Tale?
	Yeah, totally!
	Remember when the only reason John Henry lost the race is because this scrawny kid couldn't bring up enough railroad spikes in time?
	He's like, come on, kid!
	I'm losing!
	And he had to drive in, like, ten for every one the machine had to drive in?
	Something like that, yeah.
	I was like, what's going on?
	Even as, like, an eight-year-old kid, this makes no sense to me.
	Well, you didn't realize that was actually the perfect metaphor for a black America.
	So it made perfect sense.
	It made sense.
	Dude, I saw that movie in a double feature with, uh, Man of the House.
	Remember Man of the House?
	Oh, shit.
	With JTT?
	Mm-hmm.
	And Chevy Chase.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Pretty, uh, non-PC flick.
	Oh, absolutely.
	Dressed up like, uh, natives.
	Like, you know, like jumping around with, like, feathers on their heads and shit.
	Yeah.
	They're dressed up like natives with cardboard headdresses.
	And there's that easy listening song in it.
	I don't remember that one.
	Is that really it?
	He totally nailed it.
	- Yeah, it's some more racist ass shit. - He totally nailed it.
	Anyway.
	So yeah. - Being an SJW is when you give anybody money that you're not like compelled to at gunpoint. - So she'd make an exception for Holly the SJW who kicked the black people out of her lobby.
	Just think, if each person keen on the cause, uh, what does it say?
	Keen on causes close to our liberty loving hearts.
	God, that is a tongue twister.
	Liberty loving hearts sent her one dollar via GFM.
	She's now abbreviated GFM.
	There's got to be at least a million of us.
	She'd be able to give Starbucks a middle finger salute.
	Set up her own shop.
	Because, you know, she'd probably just open up a coffee shop.
	Yeah, no, that's what she does best.
	She knows it.
	She knows the business.
	She knows the industry.
	She'd probably open up another Starbucks, you know?
	Someone make a GoFundMe for her to open up a coffee shop.
	But real quick, open up her own shop.
	I'd never patronize it.
	But that's another issue.
	Yeah, that's another one of my many issues.
	Yeah, this person's complex.
	John Henry's got some issues, for sure.
	Yeah, I hope she opens up her own shop.
	I wouldn't patronize it, but that's another issue.
	I mean, she's a coffee shop manager.
	What other kind of shop is she going to open up?
	Like, we know she's going to open up a shop with this million dollars.
	Across the street.
	What other kind?
	Across the street.
	Maybe try a boba shop or something.
	Something cool?
	I want her to franchise Nathan Fielder's dumb Starbucks.
	Yes, totally.
	Yeah.
	So, this whole thing.
	People kind of feeling weird about this guy getting this money for, you know... But they're stoked on it because he's a goddamn hero.
	Free For Now says, am I the only one who's been craving waffles lately?
	No, you're not.
	There's millions of us everywhere.
	Is it like a subliminal thing?
	Go to wafflelovers.com and you'll find out all about our community.
	You know, every time I watch Supersize Me, or at least like I've seen it like maybe three times, I always want Big Mac.
	You watched Super Size Me three times?
	Well, I've seen it like one time and then like we watched it in school for some reason.
	Okay.
	But I want a Big Mac.
	How many times have you read Fast Food Nation?
	Zero.
	Okay.
	That's why you had to watch Super Size Me so much.
	Yeah.
	You like the movie more.
	Anyway, goddammit you fuckers, you crushed my joke.
	I crushed Tony's readings a long time ago.
	What was your joke?
	Do it.
	You want a Big Mac?
	Yeah.
	Yeah, it's subliminal.
	So like, when I saw the shooting, I was like, damn, I want some waffles too.
	Even though you're not supposed to.
	Like the shooting is supposed to prove how bad Waffle House is for you.
	Like, you go there and you might die.
	Yeah.
	But yet, you're like, you're, uh, I don't know, your lizard brain is like, ugh, it makes me want it even more.
	You're compelled by the fat and the sugar combining.
	This is like a high-calorie terrorism.
	Everybody, okay, sorry, read this comment again, Tony, because I stepped all over it.
	So did I. Am I the only one who's been craving waffles lately?
	Is it, like, a subliminal thing?
	Yeah, actually, I mean, no?
	It has nothing to do with anything?
	No.
	Like, you don't, like, consciously crave waffles.
	Like, you don't, like... Like, what's the word I'm looking for?
	What's that word that describes non-voluntary bodily functions, like your heartbeat?
	Oh, yeah.
	Like, what's the word for that?
	Like, you can't force yourself to crave a food.
	It's, like, literally... It's not subconscious.
	It's, like...
	But that's what I'm saying.
	It's literally a subconscious thing.
	Involuntary?
	Yeah, involuntary.
	It's literally an involuntary thing.
	You wake up, you have to eat breakfast, and naturally it's waffles.
	No, it was really weird.
	When I was reading about the murder of these people, I was smelling maple syrup and bacon.
	It was really bizarre.
	I was reading it in a Denny's, because that's where we live.
	But, yeah, it was really bizarre.
	I like the idea, too, that, like, uh, am I the only one who's been craving waffles lately?
	Is it, like, a subliminal thing?
	So, is this person saying that, like, whatever subliminal, like, uh, I don't know, brainwashing is going on against this person, maybe that could have driven the killer to Waffle House.
	Is there some sort of, like, anti-waffle, or I guess pro-waffle beam being shot out to all of our brains at all?
	And waffles really just are terrible.
	Well, you know Big Waffle.
	Big Waffle's one of the biggest lobbyists.
	Ruthless.
	I mean, they're so big that they even got us to walk on them.
	Like, they got people to put waffles in fucking shoes, for Christ's sake.
	We take them everywhere.
	I was gonna say it's the flower lobby, dude.
	It's the Flower Lobby.
	They're probably involved, too.
	GE, because their waffle irons.
	Also, Vermont.
	Yeah, I mean, just the waffles are so omnipresent in society, it's like I can't let go.
	Well, you know the why they're there.
	According to For Free Now, he was saying it's left-wing hackers?
	Yeah, he replied to his own comment.
	Have they been hacking the subliminals?
	When we say he, when we assume he, it's not because we're being misogynistic, it's because we're being misandrist.
	Like, these are bad comments.
	These are very bad comments.
	I'm being real sexist when I say he because I'm...
	Assuming a dude's only this stupid to say shit like this.
	Yeah, that's what misandry means.
	It's the opposite of misandry.
	This is why we kicked you out of the band, misandry.
	Check it out.
	It's a totally real thing that exists in society.
	We participate in it.
	I'm misandering right now, dude.
	Uh, yeah, so, it's definitely left-wing hackers hacking the subliminals.
	Um, and some pretty big names came in to weigh in on it.
	Some, uh, figures from history.
	Ronald Reagan.
	Wow!
	With perhaps the gnarliest take that I don't even want to touch, but I just want you guys to know this person exists and is this...
	Gross.
	I'm sad for the victims, but happy that no Second Amendment rights were infringed.
	Oh, good.
	Fuck.
	Man.
	It's not a hot take.
	I've seen this take a million times.
	Yeah, it's just literally... I don't know if I've seen this exact take.
	This is like... Not this bluntly.
	We had something that was similar to this, and I made a joke about it, but I can't remember exactly the phrasing, but, uh, yeah, like, uh, um, uh, no, never mind.
	It's just, it's gnarly.
	Hell no.
	Sucks.
	Police, you know, it's, uh, it's a goddamn shame those people are no longer with us, but at least no one took his gun.
	Yeah.
	Oh, except for didn't someone take his gun?
	Yeah, someone did that.
	Yeah, his dad took his guns twice and then gave them back to him.
	We didn't talk about that.
	That's a crazy thing that came out.
	I was reading this USA Today article about how my life got flipped turned upside down when I read this article.
	It's...
	Crazy.
	He, like, had several incidents of threatening people with his guns.
	Like, severe mental illness.
	He thought he was, like, being hacked.
	He thought people were barking like dogs outside of his window.
	He threatened the co-owner of his dad's company with an AR-15 while wearing a dress, which we all know is a sign of mental illness if you wear women's clothing.
	Yeah, clearly.
	I'm being sarcastic here.
	It sounds like maybe you have a conversation with Marilyn Manson.
	Yeah, or... Well, he wore a boob suit.
	Yeah, or Kurt Cobain.
	Kurt Cobain.
	The craziest one of all, who also had a problem with guns.
	So, yeah, the cops were like, oh, hey, do you have any guns?
	And he's like, no, my dad has them.
	And then his dad was like holding them for him until the cops left and then gave them back to his fucking son.
	Yeah, it wasn't like he confiscated the guns, it was like, you gotta get your shit together, son.
	It was like, oh yeah, I'll take responsibility for you so you don't get in trouble.
	I mean, even if he was like, oh you gotta get your shit together, it's just amazing that the cops were like, this isn't a legal thing, this is like, as his dad, like, keep an eye on him for us.
	Yeah, so that's, uh, yeah.
	It's good that his Second Amendment rights weren't infringed upon, because otherwise, you know, there might have been a real tragedy, a real abstract tragedy that would have been hard to quantify in human terms, but I would have felt it more, you know.
	Our forefathers would have rolled over in their graves if that Second Amendment gets infringed.
	Well, I mean, he would have still had his throwing knives.
	Nice.
	So, the interview with the hero, legit, James Shaw, you get the hard body award.
	You win.
	Good for you, man.
	Thanks for what you did.
	That was cool.
	But he said, I'm not a hero.
	And he's a very humble young man in the interview.
	He said, I'm not a hero.
	This is from a interview that Fox posted on Facebook.
	These are responses to that.
	Just him saying, I'm not a hero, being very humble.
	Do you know how old he is?
	He's young.
	25 or something?
	I think 22.
	Yeah, he looks younger than 25.
	Yeah, so a lot of people wanted to give him his props.
	Like Andy Peppers.
	Andy Pepper says David Hogg.
	What?
	I thought we were talking about James Shaw Jr.
	here, but apparently this is going to be about David Hogg.
	I'm surprised there's only one David Hogg take.
	Oh, it's a David Hogg tip.
	A little how to live your life David Hogg.
	He's addressing David Hogg through the lens of James Shaw Jr.
	James Shaw Jr.
	is a convenient prop here for Andy Pepper's David Hogg, this is how a man behaves after being in such a terrible situation.
	This is how a man responds to trauma, David Hogg.
	Please take notes from how he does.
	No hysteria.
	No agenda.
	No insults.
	Take notes.
	God dammit, Andy Peppers.
	Dude, leave the kid out of it.
	Yeah!
	Leave the fucking kid out of- leave David out of this shit.
	Um... He gets so much shit.
	Constantly.
	Yeah, just before I speak on that comment, the username is Andy Peppers, but the avatar is someone even with a higher standing in the American Zeitgeist than Ronald Reagan himself.
	This is of course our sweet boy Richard Dunn.
	Yeah, what the fuck?
	RIP Richard Dunn.
	I can't believe what evil your picture, your visage is being attached to right now.
	You deserve so much better than that.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, so this is like, uh, this is basically the take of, like, yeah, just shut up.
	Like, like, this, this, here was a, here was a good boy who shut up after what happened, and I'm not saying he did shut up, I'm not exactly familiar with his statements after the case, but he was very modest, uh, and he's not, like, as far as I know, uh, trying to make a political, trying to make political hay out of it, which, uh, I, I realize it sounds like there's a negative connotation to what I said, but I don't mean it in a negative way.
	All of these comments are political.
	Everything we're talking about is political.
	Andy Pepper's comment is political in nature.
	I think what you're talking about is that David and Emma used the issue that they went through as a platform to speak about gun control, right?
	Right.
	Which is a good thing.
	He hasn't said anything remotely hot about that, but he hasn't really talked about that.
	But he also set up a GoFundMe for the survivors, right?
	Except for the victims.
	For the victims.
	So, I mean, that's like a political act.
	And it's a very good one.
	And that's what happens when you have a national spotlight on you.
	You can actually do some fucking good.
	And you can do it that way, or you can...
	Change the conversation around gun violence.
	He says hysteria because it's an easy way to discredit David Hogg because of course we all know hysteria is a womanly emotion and is to be shamed.
	It's a shameful emotion and you're not making sense.
	You're too emotional.
	Have a negative response to gun violence.
	I don't think Andy Pepper's got the memo that hysteria is not like the word to be using here.
	Yeah and it's it's really like people people made a big deal about hysteria like it's this it's this irrational act it's it's this out of you're out of your mind well it's like all you have to do is masturbate and it solves it it's it's done easy it's really easy to get over rub it out and just I I don't this take is so crazy I don't know where Where is David Hogg's hysteria?
	I mean, they act like he's not... He doesn't... Because he curses?
	Oh, it was when he was up there reading from Mein Kampf.
	Yeah.
	Fuck, man.
	So yeah, fuck you, Annie Peppers.
	Fuck you, Step Pepper.
	There it is.
	It's very good.
	And in response to James saying, I'm not a hero, Fernando Guerrera says...Gamera?
	Whatever.
	Gamara.
	Gamara?
	Fuck him anyway.
	Can't tell if that was an M or an R. Well, he's cool.
	He says, I beg to differ.
	Fuck all these people.
	If you single-handedly wrestle an AR-15 from a man and save people by doing so, then you are a hero.
	That's the common take right here.
	It's like, no, man, you are a hero.
	Deal with it.
	Yeah, I'm gonna have to disagree with you here, James.
	You are in fact the best man ever.
	You are a good boy.
	Oh, man.
	I avoided saying that.
	I was going, I was... Yeah, Tony had to say it.
	Oh, well, it also happens throughout.
	Yeah.
	Um, well, Javier Gutierrez says, Why do you let him walk away?
	Meaning, why did James let the shooter walk away?
	The shooter walk away, because I guess, from by all accounts, he left, left, not in a mad dash, but he did leave.
	He did walk away.
	Why do you let him walk away?
	He didn't run.
	He walk away.
	He didn't have the gun anymore.
	Why not hold him there for the pigs to come get him?
	So I kind of want to get with him because he uses the word pigs in here.
	It's a weird take.
	Yeah, it's a weird take.
	But it's like, did you want him to shoot him?
	Like, did you want him to, like, shoot the shooter?
	I don't know.
	Like, he was also in a, you know, that's a pretty, that's a lot of adrenaline, man.
	Like, that's a lot of adrenaline.
	It's not his- it's not his fucking job to hold the shooter.
	Not at all.
	I love this take, like, uh, why didn't he, uh, hold him there so those fucking piggies could do their jobs?
	I bet he didn't even try to put him in an armbar.
	I'm so delirious and tired from setting up NSYNC pop-up today that I laughed immediately.
	He didn't run, he walk away.
	He walk away.
	I don't know, it's just great.
	He could have at least chased him.
	He could have at least made him run.
	Yeah, it's just so stupid.
	That was a common take.
	Rose Balcom wants to let James know, David Bowie would be proud of you, Mr. Shaw, as are millions of others.
	A little confused, Sarah Marie Wildecker says, David Bowie?
	Rose responds, Uh, Sarah, I was thinking of the song Heroes for Mr. Shaw.
	Oh, oh cool, cool.
	Excuse me, James, uh, Dave Grohl would like a word.
	Four words, to be specific.
	There goes my hero.
	You're thinking of Enrique Iglesias, who would also be just so proud of James.
	And he would say, I could be your hero, baby!
	To James, so James wouldn't have to be the hero anymore.
	Yeah, I'll take the burden off you.
	I'll be the town's hero eater, so I can eat all the adulation so that you don't have to bear it.
	I'll take the pain, take the brunt.
	So good.
	Tobey doesn't have that mole on his cheek anymore, so he can't, that mole can't take the brunt of everything.
	How do you get rid of the mole?
	It's gone.
	It's gone, huh?
	It's not there.
	It's not there.
	Why am I sitting like this right now?
	You look cozy.
	I'm sitting real weird right now.
	I hope somebody can find security footage and they can play it in slow motion while he tackles him, and then have David Bowie's song behind the whole time.
	No, I want the Wallflowers version with, like, Godzilla's roars in the background.
	Oh, hell yeah!
	Best soundtrack ever.
	Yeah.
	And also, like, P. Diddy's on the track for no reason.
	And Matthew Broderick's face pops up.
	Right?
	He's in that movie, right?
	And there's, like, baby Godzilla's, like, slipping and sliding on gumballs in slow motion.
	Actually?
	Well, in the movie it's in fast motion because it's a very intense scene, but in this it would be more emotional.
	It would be.
	Slow it down.
	So there's this whole thing, too, where no one's really taking him seriously because, like, he's a young man.
	I think he's a father.
	He's a young man.
	He's grown.
	He's super grown.
	So he's a double hero.
	Double hero.
	Because he's a father.
	And a lifesaver.
	He should triple down and enlist.
	Robert Wright wants to insure him.
	Take the platitude, son.
	Be a great black role model.
	I don't know if you probably guessed, but Robert Wright is in fact white.
	What the fuck?
	Take the platitude, son.
	Tell him, James.
	It's okay, son.
	It says, uh, plot-its.
	Plot-its, yeah.
	Is that a word?
	Plot-its?
	Yeah.
	Plot-its?
	Yeah.
	Well, sorry, platitudes I like more.
	Platitude is that animal that has... Platypus.
	I mean, literally, be a great black role model.
	Yeah, be a black great role model.
	Okay, that itself is a platitude.
	Yeah, there you go.
	That's one of my small pet peeves.
	Don't sun me.
	It's such a weird thing.
	Don't sun me.
	It's such a weird thing to do to people.
	Who's he talking to?
	He's talking to Mr. Shaw.
	James.
	This is all a response to him saying he's not a hero.
	Okay, alright.
	So, it's like saying... I don't want to say it, but it's like calling a black person boy or something.
	You know what I mean?
	Yeah, it's talking down to anybody.
	It's just this weird, like, sweetheart, sweetie, like, son.
	Yeah.
	Well, and it's also, you know, it's, it's, I mean, aside from, like, the, uh, you know, diminutive tone he takes, it's also got a very racialized tone with, uh, be a great black role model.
	Be a great black role model.
	Like, uh, because Robert Wright knows a good black role model when he sees them, and he's just waiting for that special one to come along.
	And join the ranks of Kanye.
	I do want to go back and look at this almost now that Kanye's fully, fully pilled.
	Yeah.
	Because I do wonder if there's going to be a lot of like, Kanye should invite Shaw to the White House.
	So if that wasn't like weirdly disrespectful.
	Yeah, dude, Kanye is going to be Donald Trump's new like black boy envoy.
	Yeah.
	He's going to bring him on board.
	He's like the ambassador?
	Yeah.
	Ambassador to black America.
	To urban America.
	So if that wasn't strangely uncomfortable and just disrespectful.
	Sandjitnam says, you gotta wait for this one though.
	You are black, but your heart is white.
	Holy...
	Fucking shit.
	Son, God bless America.
	You are black, but your heart is white, son.
	God bless America.
	What the fuck, dude?
	I do want to let you guys know that Sam is not white.
	He is Thai.
	You may look ignorant on the outside, but you have the heart of a colonizer.
	Right there.
	Says the Thai guy.
	Can I explain?
	Please.
	Okay, so this is like a Lost in Translation thing.
	This is like black, traditionally evil, white, traditionally good.
	Which, yeah, does happen.
	It does have racial overtones in general, but it's also like so, you know, so part of like, uh, what's the word I'm looking for?
	Not literary, but like, uh, you know, it's part of canon.
	Part of language.
	Yeah, it's like, it's like embedded in, in everyone's psyche.
	You know, it's like a, almost like an archetype, but not really.
	I don't know.
	I don't want to talk about Young.
	It's just funny because I think the most offensive on his face comment, I don't think he means it at all the way he's saying it.
	He's saying, yes, you may literally be black, but you have a, not a white heart, but a good heart.
	You have a good heart.
	And the black is just a happy coincidence that makes it more poetic.
	No, if it goes in line with what Alex was saying, it's like it got lost in translation and Sam's trying to say, you are evil, but I think your heart is good.
	I think deep down inside, Do you think Sam thinks he's making a funny pun?
	Like he thinks this is a clever pun?
	Yeah, I think he's being clever.
	Don't judge a heart by its package.
	Yeah, so it's really funny.
	Bob Sabrizi.
	Sabrizi.
	What a name.
	Sabreezy.
	He should be invited to the White House to be congratulated by the President, not these athletes who are unappreciative and are only doing their jobs.
	We're gonna bring them into this.
	What?
	Yep.
	Like, look, look at, you know, he doesn't get mad like the other blacks.
	He'd probably come.
	He'd probably show up.
	Not like those other athletic blacks.
	Yeah, like, say this next time a cop dies.
	Yeah.
	He's just doing his job.
	Yeah, he's just doing his job.
	Yeah, right.
	Please say that.
	Well, they would invite him to the White House, too.
	Uh, yeah, no, I, this is like an allusion to Obama.
	Inviting, inviting, or I guess Trump invited athletes too, huh?
	Well, he invites the winning teams.
	The winning teams always go from every, every sport.
	Yeah, but they don't go now.
	But now they don't go because, you know, yeah, cause they don't want to go.
	Because mainly most athletic people in America happen to be POC and they don't want to go to a white power house.
	And like, wouldn't it just be awkward if say like, Before I came over to your house for dinner, like two weeks ago, I was wearing a shirt that said, Hey, fuck you.
	Um, and I'm saying, Hey, fuck you, but I'm at your house for dinner.
	That's weird.
	I don't want to go to that dinner.
	I would just, I would go to dinner and I would, uh, talk up municipal waste the whole time.
	And then I would be like, yeah, and Trump.
	I'd be like, oh, I gotta hear this band, you know, I gotta see them, and I'd go show him one of their t-shirts.
	Yeah.
	In his face.
	One with his, like, face blowing up or whatever.
	Yeah, and he would be, like, so owned.
	But it's this whole, this whole idea of these people are now gonna use James Shaw's, like, I don't, I don't hate, I don't hate all black people.
	There's that one, there's that one that tackled the, tackled the shooter, and thank God for it.
	Not even know his name.
	Not even know his fucking name.
	There's the Waffle House Hero.
	He was a good black.
	You got the Waffle House Hero, you got the Kanye West.
	If you're a Fox News viewer and you see James on camera, that counts as your black friend.
	If you're responding in the comments, supporting him, telling him he's a hero, then you're officially his friend.
	No, you're an ally at that point.
	The whole time, their responses are as if James is the one posting this.
	No, you are.
	He's not reading that.
	I don't think the same guy, same person, would go through and look through the comments of articles about him.
	No, this is like one of those YouTube comments.
	Hey, James, man, I love your work.
	I have every song.
	We met one time back at one of your appearances at the Waffle House in Florida.
	Yeah, dude, my invitation to the Beach House is still open.
	Get back at me!
	My number's 909-666-6669.
	Can't wait to hear from you, dude.
	Exactly.
	That's been up there for two years, no responses.
	One like and it's my own.
	Yeah.
	It's been two years.
	If I like it, it will jump up in the feed.
	Yeah, just the whole idea of, you know, the good black guy.
	So yeah, just to end on a little bit of a lighter note, this is probably just my favorite thing to happen in the comments.
	Ahmed Ali says, Allah says in the Quran, he who saves a single human, a human life, is like he who saved the whole humankind.
	So he's saying, you know, in Allah, according to Allah, if you save one person, you save all of mankind.
	And this is kind of this beautiful sentiment.
	It's because like Allah doesn't have a scope of humanity and like we're like ants to him.
	So it's like, I don't know, one.
	Sure.
	I don't know.
	Maybe, maybe it was like a thousand.
	I can't keep track.
	Write it off.
	Uh, so amongst all the crazy Islamophobic, um, response to this, Everyone just telling him, you're only writing this so people pay attention to you.
	You're only writing this to troll us, aren't you?
	I bet James only saved those people so we'd pay attention to him.
	Call him a good boy.
	I bet James only saved those people so Ahmed could get in on here and like fucking propagandize Islam to all the people.
	That is a long con.
	It's a big one, dude.
	But I believe it.
	I want to see an Ocean's 11 involving, uh, the shooter's insanity for four years leading up to the events.
	All the way up to here, Ahmed Ali.
	Ahmed is just, like, gaslighting him the whole time.
	There's gotta be some... Did you hear someone barking outside?
	There's gotta be, like, some final twist ending to that plot, though.
	Like, after what Ahmed said.
	No, no, no.
	Shh.
	No, no, no, no, no.
	Can you...
	Someone's barking outside.
	Can you hear that?
	Yeah, I can.
	There's someone's bark, that's... What I think is crazy is like, he said people were barking like, like he was just hearing dogs, right?
	I don't think he was hearing anything, but if he heard something, it was like, it was people making the noises for sure.
	That's not funny.
	That's not funny.
	Cause that's like, that's like legit.
	I'm not trying to make fun of it.
	I'm just saying like he heard, he heard dogs barking and was like convinced that it was people barking like dogs.
	Yeah.
	One time I, um, one time I took acid, which is a weird ass thing.
	And I thought like, um, there was a crowd of people outside my house, like, uh, cheering me on.
	Cause I was on acid.
	I remember that one time I went to your house with a crowd of people and cheered you on for doing acid, that was fun.
	Yeah, it was weird.
	So, amongst all the hateful things, somebody actually really took on the task Um, I'm not going to try to say this person's name.
	Nejmu Abiga.
	Nejmu Abiga says, what does the law say about someone who imprisons a lion as a cat pet?
	And I'm like, what the fuck?
	Yeah, what?
	What the fuck?
	So I look at Ahmed Ali's profile and on his wallpaper is a picture of him and somebody else he knows with a pet lion.
	With a lion as a cat pet.
	Yeah, he looks like young royalty.
	Like, he's got a fucking pet cat- uh, fucking pet lion.
	Yeah, it's just- I just love that this guy's like- Holy shit.
	Yeah, I mean, that's like really cool.
	Like, we can all agree.
	That's so sick.
	Really cool.
	Um, but, uh... I love, like, the pettiness of this comment.
	Like, what does Allah say about someone who imprisons a lion?
	Like...
	Like, what is worse about keeping a lion... What is more inhumane about keeping a lion as a pet than any other animal?
	Yeah!
	I don't know.
	Does a lion have the intelligence of a dolphin or something?
	I guess it's just stupid.
	They have the blood of the lion and that's the whole thing.
	There's no moral thing here really.
	It doesn't seem like it.
	It's definitely more dangerous for you.
	It's a stupid thing to do.
	But this person is trying to shame him for having a pet.
	A pet lion?
	Just a pet!
	Just the concept of a pet is a shameful thing according to Nejmu.
	Now let me just say, my long about that was I was processing it, okay?
	Okay.
	And you swayed me.
	I will have to say that I am anti-keeping wild cats as pets, but that's kind of not the point.
	It's just like, yeah dude, this guy's just saying a nice thing.
	Yeah, he said a really nice thing, yeah.
	All he said was a nice thing, and this other guy's like, yeah, well you have a cat pet.
	How does Allah feel about that?
	He's like, well, what does Allah say about letting animals up on the furniture?
	Because he is on the couch.
	Well, the cat is on the couch.
	And he just should not let that cat on the couch.
	What does Allah say about not using a coaster when there's clearly one available right next to that frosty glass?
	I just checked to make sure that all my things are on coasters, and they actually are.
	I have so many coasters in here.
	Looking good around here.
	Thank Allah.
	Alright, yeah, so that's it for that segment, right?
	Yeah, yeah.
	Good segment.
	Thank you, Tony.
	Oh boy, here we go.
	Okay, let me check to see how much time we have here.
	We had about eight minutes up top that are getting deleted thanks to a recording error from me.
	Okay, we got about a half an hour.
	Cool, that's what we need.
	Yeah, okay, so thank you to the Patreon supporters.
	Once again, it is patreon.com slash MinionDeathCult for a premium episode every week.
	Two episodes every week.
	If you subscribe at $3.11 a month and you're obviously helping to support the show.
	311 cents.
	It's weird how that works out.
	It is weird, dude.
	Did they do that on purpose, the money?
	It's a giant conspiracy designed to confuse us.
	What else is crazy is a hundred yen equals a hundred pennies.
	Does it really?
	Yeah, so like, kinda.
	There's a big, like, global conspiracy.
	Oh.
	See what I mean?
	The currency conspiracy?
	It's weird that you would say global conspiracy, which harkens another global conspiracy involving the flat earth.
	It's weird that you would subscribe to the notion of a globe in the middle of another conspiracy, like you're derailing your own point.
	Well, I switch from one to the other whenever it benefits me.
	Okay.
	Yeah.
	Smart.
	So anyway, yeah, thank you to the Patreon supporters for allowing this segment to happen because we used your support to fund a ad on Facebook, which I knew would bring people out.
	You know, I've said it a couple times, the The comment section is driven entirely by, like, contrarianism, so I knew that we would be getting haters in the comment section, and I am so happy that they came through.
	I do want to say, we definitely got negative reviews on iTunes because of this though.
	Sweet.
	So we are no longer at a sterling five stars.
	We're down from that.
	So we really need you to go and counterbalance these fly-by-night haters.
	You know that these people didn't listen to several episodes and then make an educated judgment that this show was bad.
	How could they?
	How could they possibly come to this- that conclusion?
	Uh, we need you to go rate and review the show in, uh, the- your Apple Podcast app.
	Very easy to do.
	Click on- go to your library, click on the album artwork, scroll down, and the rating system populates right there.
	Tap five stars and tap leave a review if you have just an extra two seconds.
	Say, hey, this show is good.
	Uh, fuck the haters.
	Uh, probably don't put fuck in there.
	But, uh, you know what I mean.
	Put shit bangs.
	Probably don't put shit bangs either.
	Okay, so let's get into this segment.
	This was fun.
	It was nice really being in it.
	I wasn't in it, but I laughed at it a bunch.
	You did.
	Saved the post.
	You clicked the laughable bunch.
	I like that.
	Yeah.
	A fun guy in this comment section was Noah Farbo.
	He's a really fun guy.
	His comment, one of the first comments, one of the first negative comments was, uh, this reeks of misinformation and opinionation.
	Use your brains.
	And I normally wouldn't point this out, but reeks is definitely misspelled right before misinformation.
	So I feel like he's giving us misinformation on how to spell words.
	I agree.
	Reverse information.
	Yeah, opinionation.
	This reeks of people opining.
	I'm not into that sort of thing.
	Edgar Martinez replied.
	I don't know who this is, but thank you for participating, Edgar.
	Opinionation?
	Excuse me?
	Hashtag.
	Welcome to the opinionation.
	Nation of opinion.
	Man.
	Yeah, and I said more like Obama nation.
	Oh.
	Which didn't really apply to the situation at all, but I still wanted to say it.
	It's pretty good.
	And Noah Farbo came back with, Holy Autism Spectrum, Batman.
	There it is.
	And I said, Holy Misunderstanding of What a Spectrum Is.
	Yeah.
	That Batman was implied.
	Dude, Noah's like one of those like Reddit people that like You know, says autism like an insult all the time.
	That's just an internet person now.
	That's just a teenage-to-25-year-old boy who says that.
	That's all over Facebook.
	Yeah, holy autism spectrum.
	You know how a spectrum, when you talk about a spectrum, it means everybody on that spectrum has the thing that you're talking about?
	It's totally missing it now, you know, shooting themselves in the foot.
	It's just, it's poetry right in front of us.
	And then Tom Lameson tagged DreamWorks Animation!
	Which, you know, it's a funny thing.
	You know, of course we used the album artwork, the cover art for this podcast to promote the show, which involves copyrighted images.
	Just a little bit.
	Hey, Tom.
	You're real lame, son.
	Yeah, I think he either gets that all the time or that's like an intentional last name.
	But you still probably owned him a little bit.
	Oh, dude.
	So easy.
	Right there.
	And I said, I said, please no.
	Please don't.
	Please don't tag them.
	It's bad.
	And then I banned him.
	And then Tom went to my personal page.
	Oh.
	And commented on A post I had done for a different episode.
	I was like, hey, it was the Warbucks episode.
	I was like, hey, this episode's crazy.
	It's like, you know, all about how people think Assad is as bad as Abraham Lincoln.
	And he commented on my post, because I guess it was public, he commented on it These people banned me just for tagging DreamWorks Animation.
	It's their intellectual property, right?
	They're in cahoots with these guys, right?
	And I was like, these guys?
	What do you mean, these guys?
	And he said, yeah, guys, as in people.
	Like, he thought I was doing a SJW, don't use guys, like, because it's gendered thing, I think.
	And I was like, I can't believe these guys would do that to you!
	And he just didn't respond.
	Yeah, that's great.
	That's great.
	You were being S.G.W., but not for that reason.
	No, you're like ironic S.G.W.
	No, I was being like, uh... All caps yelling at him?
	No, not me!
	I was just like, I can't believe those guys would do that to you.
	Those guys are crazy.
	Uh, yeah.
	That's really funny.
	Derek Stone, uh, this was a, this was a common take.
	So the, the ad in the, on Facebook was like, yeah, we're a leftist podcast making fun of right-wing maniacs online.
	Um.
	And that, for some reason, brought out all the right-wing maniacs.
	It's incredible how that works.
	It's like catnip.
	It's like a beacon.
	Derek Stone, Stone Cold Fox, if you ask me, says, at least they have the decency of announcing their political views off the bat.
	Crying, laughing emoji.
	And, you know, I said, kind of like wearing a Day to Remember t-shirt to announce to people not to ask you about music at all.
	Why did you say that?
	Because he's wearing one.
	Data Remember sucks.
	Sorry if you like them.
	They're a terrible band.
	Oh yeah, the homie's the roadie for them.
	A friend of Tony and I's.
	Oh cool, man.
	You guys are like almost as cool as that guy for knowing him.
	I know, I need some merch.
	So I can be like the Derek Stone.
	The Data Remember shirt?
	Data Remember is like that band you put on when you're like really pissed off at your girlfriend when you're 15.
	Yeah.
	I feel like watching a music video featuring a guy with small plugs and a beard scream into a payphone at his girlfriend.
	And then Derek Stone replied, uh, when you can't think of a more legitimate insult, so you stoop low enough to insult someone's appearance slash music preference.
	Crying laughing emoji.
	And is that really a low... Am I stooping low by making fun of his taste in meat?
	Like, I mean, he's... You're keeping it really... Like, that's really superficial and nice.
	Yeah, you're giving him a break.
	You weren't born listening to A Day to Remember.
	No.
	Like, that definitely is a lifestyle choice.
	I mean, you don't know, man.
	Like, his mom might have raised him on A Day to Remember.
	Yeah, I don't know.
	My dad raised me on, like, Depeche Mode, but I don't have to go see him next week.
	Are you gonna go see Depeche Mode next week?
	Yeah, but I don't have to.
	Oh, Tite?
	No, I heard they're really good live, though.
	Yeah, I heard that, too.
	I saw them on the Exciter Tour, and that's all they played, and so I didn't hear any of my old jams.
	But, you know, that's neither here nor there.
	Yeah, no, I mean, he's like talking shit.
	He's like vague-booking about our politics, and then gets upset when I make fun of his t-shirt.
	And then Cody Chappelle, who's going to be a reoccurring figure in this segment, Cody Chappelle replies, that's because they are fucking normies.
	Praise Keck!
	Hashtag MAGA.
	Okay, so first of all... Fucking yikes.
	Wow.
	Yeah, that's what we said to him.
	So Cody's mad because we are fucking normies.
	So I know, I learned that incels call people that have sex normies.
	So there's Chad's, Stacey's, Top, and then Normie's, like us.
	Because, I mean, you've had sex, like, times.
	At least a few times.
	You've had sex a few times, Tony?
	I can only account for one.
	She's four now.
	Okay, so I've had sex sometimes.
	The product, the evidence that you've had sex is four now.
	Yes, the evidence that I've had sex is four now.
	So we're technically fucking Normies, and that's what he's... So Cody must be like an incel.
	Yeah, definitely an incel.
	We are proud Normies.
	I didn't know people actually talked like this.
	I thought it was all ironic when they did the Keck thing.
	What does Keck mean?
	You really want to know what Keck means?
	Yeah, just tell me.
	We were talking about fucking 4chan basically being one of the biggest forces of this decade.
	That's what Keck is in relationship to Donald Trump's presidency.
	I can't remember how it started out, but Kek is basically, like, related to some Egyptian god that these 4chan freaks were fascinated with around the time of Donald Trump's presidency, and there was some sort of, like, internet prophecy that the Kek would influence Donald Trump and lead him to victory.
	Kek Lord, like, that's what that's from.
	I don't remember how Kek Keck already existed and then they figured out that it was reflected in this ancient Egyptian religion and so that it made it even more powerful.
	I don't remember how it started out.
	It sounds cool to me.
	If I had caught wind of that I might have joined on.
	Have you seen the green flag?
	The green fake Nazi flag for the alt-right?
	Yeah, that's the Keck flag.
	Yeah, it's got the K's repeated in it.
	It's like how the 4chan leaf is repeated in a circle.
	Yeah, yeah, I think so.
	Yeah, it's- The most blatant people use it.
	It's the fucking Nazi flag with, like, the cross in it.
	Like, the big black cross, except it's green instead, and in the center of the cross is the- the Keck.
	Anyway.
	Alright.
	Um, yeah.
	But I didn't- you know, I- I should have known better, because you see these fucking, uh...
	Really normal people posing with Keck flags and it you know, but they're always like kind of laughing in the photo So it always kind of seems like maybe there's like some humanity there, right?
	Maybe there's like something going on that we can't see but no not if you like talk like that when you're on the warpath like that's That's like a shot across the bow.
	Him saying, praise Keck.
	That's like meant to own us.
	Yeah.
	Like, got him.
	Cool.
	He owned us by putting the onus on us with that hashtag MAGA.
	Cody, you fucking dweeb.
	Patrick Walden, again, citing our apparent bias by being, by having politics, Patrick Walden says, at least they admit the bias up front.
	Yes.
	I'm sure that the shit that people who are complaining watch, oh boy, I'm sure that the shit that the people who are complaining watch is right-wing biased content that is portrayed as unbiased.
	Okay, so, I don't know this dude's politics.
	Basically, he's saying, like, yeah, like, Fox pretends to be fair and balanced and when it's obvious that they're not.
	Yeah, I don't know, like, everybody has politics.
	Like, it doesn't mean you're biased.
	Yeah.
	I don't know, you know, I don't, I don't understand.
	I'm gonna go easy on Patrick because I feel like he's trying to make a good point here.
	Trying.
	Getting lost in the words there.
	Kind of like I did.
	Yeah, he's kind of like, lay off them guys.
	At least they're telling us how they feel and not faking like they're being balanced.
	I don't know, just the idea of a politics podcast where the people hosting it are like, I don't have a politics, okay?
	I don't know.
	I just state the facts about what happened in Washington, D.C.
	today.
	We're just going to start doing episodes where we just read the comments and move on in one voice.
	But the comments are decided by, like, random lottery.
	Yeah.
	Like, there's... Okay.
	Oh, man.
	So Casey, shoutout Casey, listener to the show, friend commented, Minions, Despicable Me, Illumination Entertainment, Illuminati, all connected.
	Facts.
	I am throwing a diamond in the sky.
	Yeah, that's tight.
	I'm stabbing Tony with a ceremonial dagger.
	Dude, that could be a stack, like words stacked on the back of a t-shirt for us.
	Oh, now we gotta give him credit for it.
	Damn it.
	No, we don't.
	We'll give Casey one for free if we make it.
	Noah Farbo, who you may remember from, I think, the first comment in this section, replies to Casey, Yep, these puppets are being led right into the furnaces!
	Oh yeah.
	Whoa!
	So we're... so Illuminati's real, Noah?
	Yeah, pretty much.
	What he's saying is that the minions are such a compelling piece of art that people are being blindly led into the furnaces because of them.
	Interesting.
	On both sides of the aisle.
	Isn't it kind of interesting that the minions themselves are like subservient, mindless beasts and we find them so fascinating and we perhaps identify with them?
	Yeah.
	Yeah, I just, I didn't realize that.
	I think that they might think that we actually are like, fuck with minions.
	Like we're like, yeah, fuck yeah, minions.
	Why wouldn't we?
	I mean.
	Maybe I'm gonna get one tattooed on me.
	We give them the truth.
	We give them the truth over there.
	We don't like dress them up in like, you know, military cosplay.
	We're getting a little too meta here, guys.
	I'm just saying, like, have you guys seen that minion with the banana?
	That's fucking sweet.
	That's good shit.
	It's quality content.
	It's fucking radical.
	Daniel Miranda says, whoever created this image, meaning our cover art, has reserved a spot in hell.
	Oh really?
	And yeah, shout out to Jake.
	Thank you Jake.
	You fucking nailed it.
	See you later, dude.
	We'll be there with you, buddy.
	See you later, dude.
	Going to hell now.
	GeoKell... That's an interesting name.
	Who says, fucktards, get off my feed.
	This was at least, this was one of at least three or four unironic fucktards in the comments.
	One of them I thought was genuine, or vice versa, one of them I thought was ironic because who the fuck uses fucktards, and it turned out to be genuine, and then they just kept coming.
	Yeah, Geocale says, fuck tards, get off my feed.
	And unfortunately, there's no way to remove this ad from your feed, Geo.
	You're stuck with it.
	And because you commented on it, you're going to be seeing it a lot more.
	Yeah.
	Keep on coming.
	Tight.
	Oh, you know, actually, Geo, Kel, I know you're listening, so I am sorry.
	I did personally plant this on your feed.
	Me and my left-wing hacker friends.
	Yeah, we targeted, you know, in the targeted ad, I selected people who are very active in right-wing politics, people who listen to Comedy Bang Bang, And also, people with an unhealthy obsession with 300 the movie.
	Because GeoCal is literally wearing a Spartan helmet in his profile picture.
	Oh boy.
	And his cover art is an American flag backdropped against the open door of an airplane.
	So you're looking at the clouds from above.
	There's some sort of army man in the foreground that I don't know anything about.
	But yeah, I bet Geo Kell just wants to walk up to this ad and say, GET OFF MY FEED!
	And kick us into the blocked section of Facebook or something.
	As it were.
	Oh man.
	I love that cover photo though, because it's like, who the fuck hangs a flag out of an aircraft carrier like that?
	Oh, you don't know?
	The U.S.
	Air Force, as a practice, they fly over foreign lands and we wave our flag over them.
	So for just that moment, our flag is the highest flag in the country.
	It's a big fuck you.
	Yeah, we also actually just drop flags into the country and then like if that doesn't work we invade later okay and it's nice because then they're already there that's cool uh Yaapur Clint says good god damn commu-fascist libtards god damn it
	And so this was the one that I thought was ironic because it followed a few other ironic commie-fornia and fascist-fornia comments that we were going back and forth with With a listener and no that turned out to be to be real because What did they say later?
	I don't remember they said something else later.
	I was like, oh shit.
	You were being serious about Commu fascist libtards Mm-hmm, and then Cody Chappelle who you may remember previously says Hitler did nothing wrong which is like It's like an alt-right phrase.
	It's like a Nazi phrase.
	It's like a real phrase.
	It's a white power thing.
	It's what white power people say, for sure.
	And so I just said, like, LOL, Cody, you're a piece of shit.
	Is that like an automatic Blue Star Boy comment, or what?
	I don't know.
	Who did we have in the first segment?
	Did we have anybody worthy of that in the first segment?
	Maybe Ronald Reagan.
	Oh yeah, Ronald Reagan.
	Yeah.
	It's like, I feel like Cody is not actually down at all.
	Like, Cody wants to get to her face.
	Not even close to her face.
	Just a troll.
	You're just a troll.
	He's a troll, but he's like a bad, he's a really bad troll because he...
	He commented earlier and then, um... He's the guy who deleted his whole thread because he didn't know what anarchism was.
	Same guy?
	Yeah, that's the guy.
	What a dweeb.
	He commented something like, um... It's amazing how many sheep fall for the false dichotomy.
	And then like, I don't remember what happened.
	I made fun of him and he was like, uh, sorry I don't have my opinions spoon-fed to me.
	And I was like, dude, you sound like really special.
	You sound really intelligent.
	He's like, he actually meant to say sorry, I don't have my arguments laid out already.
	Also, Cody, fuck you, because if our opinions were spoon-fed to us, this show would be a lot easier to do, you know?
	We'd just walk in and just do it.
	Okay, you got five minutes, so where are you going now?
	My favorite Spanish and Pumpkins album is Conjoined A Dream.
	Tight.
	Yeah, so Cody Chappelle, I'm going to read a little bit about Cody Chappelle's thread that I thankfully screenshotted before he deleted it entirely.
	I made fun of him for like being, because I thought he was a centrist, because he was like, you know, the false dichotomy.
	Like, it was like smacks of like, oh, well, you don't have to pick one side or the other.
	The truth is usually somewhere in the middle, I've found.
	And, uh, yeah, so I said, like, yeah, you're a centrist, or something, and he was like, I'm an anarchist, guy.
	And I said, okay, well, anarchy exists along a right-left spectrum as well.
	Yeah, man, it's very far left.
	Uh, most, it should be, at least.
	No, that's the only kind that makes sense.
	Yeah.
	And then he said, oh, no, it's not.
	Anarchy isn't part of the current false dichotomy.
	I'm not liberal nor a Trump supporter.
	And so I was like, OK, well, liberals aren't left wing.
	No liberals are centrist in the according to like the rest of the world.
	The way the if you operate globally, which we do not do on this podcast.
	No, I don't like globals.
	We only speak flatly.
	Never globally.
	But if you take the entire flat globe into consideration, liberals are capitalists.
	They're around the center.
	And I said, when you say anarchism, so obviously this guy doesn't know what he's talking about.
	When you say anarchism, you're just talking about twisted Heath Ledger Joker shit.
	Like, you're talking about a 50-cent sticker you got out of a machine.
	Yeah, a metallic one.
	Hot topic.
	And he was like, well, that's the misconception we are all labeled with.
	Do some research.
	You'll be amazed at the reality.
	Which, like, so much condescension coming from such a hollow brain was amazing.
	We can count on that a lot, though.
	And so I was like nice so I was like hey like you didn't even know anarchists could be left-wing so like maybe we could all like do some research and study and like you know improve because maybe maybe he does want to be an anarchist maybe he does enjoy like does like the ideals of anarchism and he just doesn't know that they're left-wing like that's entirely possible like people don't know what left and right means really uh and then he uh He goes, that's incorrect.
	Anarchists believe in no government, which it's more of a hierarchy thing than a no government thing.
	Liberalism is for the proliferation of government.
	Completely different systems.
	LMAO.
	And so then I just fucking copied and pasted Wikipedia to him.
	Cause this is like the easiest- Cause you know, I'm not a- I'm not an anarchist scholar.
	I know, uh, the basic framework of it.
	And so I just copied and pasted the, uh, you know, the introduction to anarchism, which, you know, refers to it as a far-left ideology.
	Um, and I was like, literally like, look up the absolute basics of the ideology you claim to have before telling other people to do research.
	Yeah.
	Like, have you never bothered looking at what your fucking belief system is at all?
	No, this fucking asshole just... This person thinks that anarchy is no rules, so this is the kind of system he believes in because it will allow him to walk into the McDonald's with no pants on.
	Yeah, I'm an anarchist.
	That's why I eat exclusively at Outback Steakhouse.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Because I can.
	Because it's just... Just right.
	I was gonna say, maybe he actually wanted you to do the research.
	No, and then, so I copied and pasted that, which included, like, all the superscript, which shows, you know, the links.
	It doesn't include the actual hyperlinks, but it just- But you can tell they're subscript or whatever, superscript.
	But yeah, the superscript is still there, and, uh, he said, site said sources.
	If it's from some Tumblr blog, then get the fuck out of here.
	I was like, okay, I just, like, I fucking...
	All I could do was laugh at that point.
	Like, you don't even know what a citation is.
	Like, you're looking at citations right now.
	I mean, you're looking at the reference to a citation right now.
	Tumblr doesn't have that.
	Right.
	And also, get the fuck out of here.
	Get out of the posts that we posted that you're commenting in.
	My favorite part was...
	Him telling me to do some research and then demanding that I cite the sources explaining the very basics of his ideology.
	Yeah, he really wanted you to do a part for him.
	He wanted you to educate him.
	And then later he said Hitler did nothing wrong.
	So yeah, total anarchist.
	Just a wild guy.
	He didn't follow any rules.
	Just a crazy kid.
	Crazy anarchy, yeah.
	Alright, I gotta say bye to the fam.
	Alright, see you later dude.
	Bye fam.
	Thanks for coming on.
	We always love having you here.
	Oh, shut the hell up, you!
	You getting all that recorded?
	Yeah.
	Cool.
	We're gonna keep going, okay?
	Okay.
	Wait, I gotta say bye to you.
	Later, baby.
	Um, yeah.
	Two more threads.
	Actually, just one more thread, I think.
	Um... So this is Max Banson, who was another, like, weird figure in this comment section, because... Somebody who was, like, almost sympathetic, or somebody who was, like...
	Seemed to be coming from the right place, just doing it in a very bad way.
	Yeah, just missing it.
	And that's me giving him the extreme benefit of the doubt because he has, like, what is that guy, Mac Tonight as his cover image, which is, you know, a fascist icon at this point.
	It's like an alt-right icon.
	Yeah, I was gonna say, that is what that is, right?
	Yeah.
	One of the far-right, pun intended, is Mac Tonight.
	um but then he also has the uh the frame the uh what's his name the bane frame it says this man supports white sharia which is like it's like an ironic joke it's like um It's like The Deplorables starting a Facebook group called The Deplorables.
	It's like, oh this is funny, we're gonna pretend like we're, we want white sharia even though we do want white sharia and that makes it funny.
	Yeah.
	You know what I mean?
	Fuck.
	That frame, I followed that frame back to an Asian fascist, an Asian kid who's like an American fascist and he was like, Is it the one who just got arrested?
	No, it's not the confederate guy.
	Oh man, that guy's classic.
	Yeah, yeah.
	No, it's another guy who has a lot of followers on Facebook.
	He was just posting shit about the nationalists in Poland.
	Marching against trans people trans rights or something something was well, that was one of the top things, you know It was like praise CAC hashtag MAGA That's one of those weird like things that allows non-white people to become like all rise like hatred of queer people Yeah, that's one thing that they can... Pretty much a bummer.
	And yeah, hatred of queer people and hatred of black people.
	There's nothing saying that Asian people can't be racist, too.
	Okay, Max Banson is this guy's name.
	Sick name, by the way.
	Yeah, it's a lot better than Lameson.
	For sure.
	Banson... I mean, sure, he caught a ban, but, uh, damn, son.
	No, I didn't ban him.
	I didn't ban anybody unless they were tagging DreamWorks Animation.
	More just because it was funny, not because I thought that DreamWorks actually was going to pay attention.
	It's just like, yo, you know, we might not agree, but you just can't be no rat.
	No, that is Ratfink shit.
	Uh, fuck you.
	Whoever, I can't remember your name.
	Uh, yeah.
	Max says, oh my, so he was responding to listener Tyler.
	What's up, listener?
	Tyler, I don't know why I keep calling you listener Tyler when you're just a human person named Tyler.
	Uh, thank you for listening though.
	Uh, Tyler posted something in support of the show, was like, yeah, I love this fucking show.
	Now I don't have to talk to, like, my former friends who came out as, you know, weird people after the Trump election.
	And uh, Max responded... Oh my god, opinions I can't handle.
	Gotta censor them all, help!
	Pathetic.
	So, like, referencing the fact that, like, Tyler stopped following certain friends on Facebook and how pathetic that is when you can't handle other people's really awful opinions and probably just annoying posts, you know?
	And so, you know, I responded.
	I was like, well, this show, like the show we're doing right now, is literally about really bad opinions.
	We're, in fact, amplifying them.
	Yeah, we're doing the exact opposite of censoring them.
	We are shining a light on them for all the world to see.
	You're giving them a platform.
	And I also, like, threw in a thing about how I love when fascists cry about censorship and free speech when they literally want, like, an ethnostate and to, like, forcibly remove people from this country.
	But at least they'll have free speech.
	At least they'll be able to yell while they're getting dragged off by ICE or Homeland Security.
	Uh, and he said, uh, Max responded to my first thing about the show being used to amplify bad opinions.
	He said, yeah, but the guy above, meaning Tyler, is talking about blocking and unfriending on Facebook.
	Some friend slash family member you are about to dro- you are to drop- oh, okay, I see what he's saying.
	Some friend slash family member you are to drop someone over a political opinion that likely doesn't affect you.
	Can't say the same for leftist politics, though I can say I don't feel the need to alienate my leftist friends and family.
	Um, yeah, I mean, it's just like a really funny joke that trumps president.
	Like, how could this possibly affect anybody, you know?
	People of color, gay people, they're all, like, they're all just pretending to be in danger, right?
	Dude, what's the point of, like, being upset about your president?
	He's just, like, a chess piece anyways.
	He would have never been able to become president if he could have any effect on it.
	You know what I mean?
	Exactly, yeah.
	They would have never let him.
	No, no way.
	And, like, when you click friend request, request friend, that's for fucking life, bro.
	Like, I don't care what you do, you know, you gotta, I'm gonna ride with you till the very end.
	Or unless you just post anything I don't like, then I can just get rid of you.
	What if they're like a fake friend, though?
	No fake friends, I'm gonna paw that shit away.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Yeah, but I love his take though.
	Like, his take was all about censoring opinions.
	Oh my god, opinions I can't handle, gotta censor them.
	He's equating that to blocking people.
	Friends, family.
	So his point is literally, you have to be my friend or it's censorship.
	Yeah, you must consume what I'm putting out or else you're keeping me down.
	It's just that is probably one of like the top three themes of this show is just people not understanding what free speech or censorship is.
	Part of me wanted to delete these comments just because it's like even though it would be censorship but it would be funny because it's like no no this is censorship.
	What would be cool is if, like, as an admin of a page, you could just edit people's comments.
	That'd be great.
	And just do, like, a small edit.
	Like, nothing even, like, obvious, but just something small to drive them crazy when they read it over again.
	Do the wrong yore somewhere?
	Boy, and then, yeah, and then his argument would just be totally undermined by his bad grammar, and then we would win.
	We would win the argument.
	Absolutely.
	And it would just drive them so crazy.
	I would never do that!
	I would never let that out that way.
	And then Max says, you were never friends in the first place if you're honest.
	And in that case, I don't want to be your friend ever, but I see your shit for what it is.
	So like a lot of grievance in this dude, you know, he seems like really bent out of shape.
	Like he definitely lost friends over his bad political opinions, over his obsession with Mac Tonight and fascist Facebook frames.
	Yeah, sometimes you gotta pick and choose what you want.
	Do you want friends and family who love you, or do you want to hang the Keck flag in your room?
	The funny thing is it has nothing to do with his politics.
	He just posts way too many selfies.
	He's like, I just can't take it anymore.
	Oh, you think that's his moon-ass face in the cover photo?
	I think in the cover photo it is.
	Yeah.
	And then yeah, he was talking about, you're never friends in the first place if you're being honest.
	And I said, well, as for the friends thing, sometimes people change.
	And to illustrate my point, I posted a picture of Josh and Drake's breakup, which I think is probably the best example of politics coming between two people you thought were inseparable.
	Was politics the issue there?
	Yeah.
	Oh, no way!
	Yeah, dude.
	Drake was like pro-Trump.
	Which one's Drake?
	Drake's the rocker.
	Oh, I feel like one's a rocker in the younger picture and one's a rocker in the older picture.
	Oh, yeah.
	No, Josh really blossomed.
	Oh, yeah.
	Oh, yeah.
	Josh.
	There you go.
	Good job.
	You really nailed the descriptions without being problematic.
	No, Drake was like- Of course fucking Drake supported Trump, what am I talking about?
	Yeah, come on.
	Fuck that.
	Yeah, this meme has a tweet from Drake.
	It's like a picture of Drake and Josh in the good old days with a line drawn between them.
	And this tweet from Drake is this famous tweet.
	It says, true colors have come out today.
	Message is loud and clear.
	Times are changing.
	Or whatever that says.
	Is this the original incident?
	Is this the incident that was the canary in the well for Kanye?
	Yeah, I think Drake... In the mine.
	Canary in the mine.
	Sorry.
	Yeah, that's alright.
	I wasn't gonna call you out for it.
	Yeah, no, Drake was probably the Kanye of Nickelodeon.
	Damn it.
	Yeah.
	What if Clarissa came out and explained the differences in racial IQs?
	Oh no.
	That would truly break my heart.
	If Melissa Joan Hart came out as an alt-right white nationalist, that would break my heart.
	That would be such a bummer.
	Wait, is that Melissa Joan Hart?
	No, Melissa Joan Hart is Sabrina, right?
	Yeah, that's Clarissa too.
	Clarissa, I don't know Clarissa's real name, but I just know that, um, that or Blossom.
	I just know they would do really well with that.
	They'd become a pundit right away.
	way wow it's a shame how much i have to put type in to get closer explains it all to come up yeah melissa johart oh Oh, it's the same person.
	Who was also Sabrina, right?
	Yeah.
	Okay, cool.
	Yeah, she had quite the career.
	Yeah.
	Okay, let's keep going with this.
	I say to myself, to buy time to switch between tabs.
	Um... Yeah, okay, this is, uh... do-do-do... So, yeah, Drake and Josh are happy friendship.
	Yeah, so like the whole thing about like, okay, um...
	I'm missing a screenshot here.
	There's like good stuff that I can't even include because it's visual, but you should, I recommend checking out the posts.
	Yeah, check out the post and maybe participate in it.
	It's pretty funny.
	It's just facebook.com slash MinionDeathCult.
	It's probably like the top post on the page.
	There were some allies in this comment section.
	Some allies in listeners and just new posters that I hadn't heard from before.
	But thanks for coming out.
	If you're a new listener, say what's up to us, man.
	Join the Facebook group.
	Yeah, Max says, that's what you people don't get.
	You're lousy.
	So he's talking about leftist politics.
	You're lousy.
	Deep down, your politics are selfish.
	Yeah, collectivism is all about being selfish.
	Deep down, your politics are selfish, and you all only pretend to care about others as long as it makes you look good.
	Well, frankly, we only care about sounding good.
	At least until we get a webcam.
	It's true.
	Okay, so what he's talking about here is he's talking about virtue signaling.
	in your own countries and communities unless it, again, gives you some kind of brownie points in the form of social acceptance.
	Okay, so what he's talking about here is he's talking about virtue signaling.
	He's like accusing us of pretending to care about people in order to achieve our political goals of being able to care about people on a national level.
	It's a little confused, but basically he's accusing us of being Democrats, I think, is what's going on here.
	He's accusing us of giving lip service to helping communities in order to just, like, gain power.
	Yeah.
	So I understand his criticism in that respect.
	I understand if he's, like, accusing Democrats of being hypocrites, because I, like, agree with that.
	But he's still talking about unfriending people on Facebook.
	That's still what he's talking about.
	That's still what this conversation is.
	He's putting so much stock in Facebook.
	It's like, and so I said, what if we start a fundraiser for the unfollowed man?
	Would that convince you of our charity?
	That we care.
	That we actually, you know, if we put our money where our mouths are and start a campaign to get every unbanned son of a bitch back on Facebook, or get every banned son of a bitch back on Facebook, could we win you over to our side?
	Yeah, so I said, what if we start that fundraiser for the unfollowed man?
	And Max Banson says, not sure what you mean, but maybe.
	The details matter.
	So, okay, smart move.
	Don't agree to it immediately.
	Gotta find out what it entails.
	Yeah, and I don't know, and then he always says, of course I'm guessing that if the so-called man was a Trump supporter or some other kind of right-winger, you'd throw the idea out the window.
	And I was just, like, ignoring him at this point, pretty much.
	And then he says, "Exactly how the poor Africans and refugees must be feeling.
	Yeah, let's rub it in their faces.
	Fuck them.
	Their problems are all their fault, lol.
	Guess they just didn't try hard enough, haha." And all I said was...
	So confusing.
	Yeah, it's really confusing.
	Like, uh...
	You know how leftist folks are always like, oh, you gotta try harder.
	You're poor because you didn't try hard enough.
	Oh, you know what's the problem with Africa?
	It's not colonialism or exploitation of natural resources or the sale of arms to armed factions.
	No, it's because you didn't try hard enough.
	Pull yourself up by your bootstraps.
	You can do it.
	That's the leftist position.
	That's the shirts I have.
	They just say, you can do it.
	Like, these people, their politics is so confused that I feel like they could be won over.
	Like, if this dude genuinely thinks that, like, refugees need help and Africa needs help, Like, he doesn't sound that far gone at all.
	He just sounds like he got blocked by some friends and family members and dug his heels in.
	You know what, Max?
	What I can promise you is that we can never block you from listening to the show.
	You can download every episode.
	We can never block you from that.
	We won't.
	Listen to the show.
	Yeah, even if we could, we wouldn't.
	Yeah, that's it for that thread.
	I think that might be it for the episode.
	Yeah, thanks for everyone that's backing us and writing for us.
	It's pretty fun.
	Keep it up.
	The deplorables is no match for what we got going on over here.

	Yeah, join the Facebook group.
	If you're a new listener, say what's up.
	Join the Facebook group.
	It is facebook.com slash groups slash MinionDeathCults, I think.
	MinionDeathCommandos?
	MinionDeathCommandos is the name of the group.
	So if you just search for MinionDeathCommandos, you'll find it.
	I think there's two M's in commandos.
	Either way, we're pretty easy to find.
	If you can remember Minion Death Cult, which you can because you're listening.
	Answer at least one of the questions.
	If you don't answer any of the questions, I'm going to be skeptical of whether or not you're just trying to spam the group.

	Yeah, hey, we said it previously, if we get up to $100 on the Patreon, we'll make those shirts.
	We're at like $67 right now, so we need like 10 more subscribers, and that'll get us there.
	And then we'll do like a raffle-off on a couple t-shirts, you know, we'll Probably put the Patreon subscribers into a hat and draw a couple to get a free shirt.
	Yeah, and we'll definitely send a shirt to the manager of the Starbucks in Philadelphia.
	Which we normally don't like the social justice warrior types, but anybody who kicks black people out of a Starbucks for being black is my kind of social justice warrior.
	There you go.
	Alright, thanks for listening folks.
	Bye.
	Say bye.
	Bye.
