35 Unlocked - Coma After God (Kanye West / Stryper)
It's our Kanye / Stryper episode unlocked! Kanye endorses Candace Owens after watching her yell at black people to get over slavery and Stryper organizes their righteous army of christian metalheads against the satanists at Walmart, who refuses to sell their new album in stores
We have a bonus episode of Minion Death Cult for you.
This is an episode from the Patreon feed from last week.
It's an episode all about Kanye West and Christian Metal Band Striper.
And I think, you know, it's fairly obvious why we decided to release this into the main feed.
There's a lot of controversy around Striper's new album, goddamn evil, and the fact that Walmart will not sell it in stores, probably because of discrimination.
And so we feel like people deserve to hear these These stories and these takes and these crushed Striper fans, torn between their love of a big box retail store and, um...
A pious metal band that they've loved for years.
So yeah you gotta like sit through some Kanye West shit and he like praises Candace Owens and we go through a Candace Owens video that's um pretty kind of kind of disgusting actually um but then after that you get to the the more relevant topic of Christian hair metal band Striper and their beef with Walmart uh so enjoy.
Yeah, are we ready?
Yep.
Are we ready to go?
I think we're ready.
I'm Alexander Edward.
I'm Mount Matt.
And I'm Tony Boswell.
And we are Minion Death Cult.
Are you getting soulful for any particular reason?
I am like three or four generations out from the blues generation with that voice.
Uh, yeah, the world is ending.
Uh, the, quote, progressive plantation... Not my words.
There are quotes around that phrase.
Heavy quotes.
...are responsible.
We're documenting it.
Alright, so we have a fun, like...
Music-centric, pop culture-centric episode today for Patreon subscribers.
As always, thank you so much for subscribing to the show.
Right, you're right by saying that because Kanye West is not just a musical artist, you know, he's a pop culture icon.
So this is a pop show.
Yeah, I mean, first and foremost, he's like, he's an entertainer.
Yep.
And as an entertainer, I think, like, I should be the one to play the, play the, what is it, the grind?
Oh, yeah.
Play the organ grinder.
Yeah.
Or play the organ, and, or no, no, no, I crank the organ grinder, who cranks the organ, and then Kanye West dances.
Right, that's, that's, that's the way it works.
You gotta crank the organ grinder to get him to crank the organ.
Damn.
Yeah, okay, so we're talking about Kanye and Kanye's endorsement of Toilet Paper USA, which was a beautiful thing that happened on Twitter, and we're also talking about Stryper's new album being banned from Walmart over religious persecution.
We all know Stryper is the hardest rocking Christian band in America currently, and yet still not allowed to be sold on Walmart shelves.
I wonder why.
I think we'll figure it out by the end of this episode.
By the end of this GD episode.
So, let's just give out the fucking Kanye West tweet, and then we'll explain what it's all about.
Who wants to read this?
I look to the black man.
Oh, so... Yesterday, Saturday morning, April 21st, 1992, at 7.15am, Kanye West, who apparently gets up early, and gets his brain going early, tweeted out, I love the way Candace Owens thinks.
That's my record scratch.
That was a good one.
So, he's up early like Trump, you know?
The most active people get up really, really early.
Up like Trump.
Yeah, so at home you're like, who the fuck is Candace Owens?
Why is this important?
Candace Owens, great-granddaughter of Jesse Owens, he fought against the Nazis, she's fighting against the modern-day Nazis of the Democratic Party.
Precisely.
In a far more important arena than just the Olympics.
She is on the national stage in the right wing blogosphere.
Yeah.
Right?
Sucks.
She is a Turning Points USA, our boy Charlie Cook, his company, who only exists to produce good boy right-wing memes for dads and for grandma, has employed her, and she's a black conservative who insists on
Race not mattering and yet insists also on herself being a black conservative.
Like that's a big part of her identity.
It's a big part of how she's trying to market herself.
Yeah, it's really funny because she somehow thinks that because she's a black conservative, she's like the silent minority.
You know, she's the really one that's really not being heard.
She doesn't realize that she wouldn't have been heard just for being a black woman in the first place.
She didn't have to do this whole weird conservative, like, put your pants up economy type shit.
Yeah, no, she's just responding to what you said.
She's on that right-wing affirmative action plan.
Yeah.
Which is just be a black conservative and you get all the airtime you could possibly want.
Right.
Grade good enough, you'll get into the school regardless of your race.
Right.
If you want to get into that college, work harder.
Don't be blacker, work harder.
Which I'm, you know, I'll advocate for the grandmammies around here, the white grandmas, that, you know, at least they're going to be okay with black people now because of Candace Owens.
You know what I mean?
This is my moment in perhaps cultural ignorance.
Yeah.
I am not familiar with Miami being part of the white colloquialism.
Oh, it's not.
Yeah, why'd I say that?
Okay, I just wasn't sure.
I was like, I was kind of blown away for a second.
Yeah, I messed up.
Let me backtrack.
Do better next time.
Hey, dude, take it easy.
What do you want to say on behalf of all the Aunt Jemimas out there?
Nothing.
It's good you're learning.
What do you wanna say?
Pop the top off.
Come on, dude.
Sauce on them.
That's what you'd say.
Hey, dude.
That's what Aunt Jemima would do.
Take it easy.
All I was just gonna say is, like, white people like black people now.
Because of Candace Owens.
Oh, they're... they can be... conservative.
They're... they have that... that propensity also.
What's cool is you can now click subscribe and say, I have a black friend.
And you're just subscribing to Red Pill Black.
And then you now have a... a black friend who thinks like you.
Oh shit, is she like the black conservative version of those CGI Instagram models?
Yeah, kind of.
You talking about Michaela right now?
I am.
She's not just a model, she's a singer, dude.
She has songs and stuff.
Does she really?
Yeah, she has songs on Spotify that get ranked.
Oh, that rules.
They get anime hentai dudes real bonered.
Tight.
Okay, let's talk about what Kanye West loves about Candace Owens.
Because this is out of nowhere, this tweet, there's not a link to any particular Candace Owens thought, even though he's professing to love the way she thinks.
But according to Sean King, or should I say Sean White... The fine tomato?
Yeah.
The flying tomato.
The flying pizza pie.
According to Sean King, it was a specific video of Candace Owens owning Black Lives Matter protesters at a Turning Point USA speech.
Do we want to go ahead and watch this thing?
Yes.
Yes.
Alright, so there's, it's, it's, uh, there's a lot packed in here.
It's fucking terrible.
It's like, it compounds on its terribleness.
So, uh, I'm gonna be pausing it.
If you guys want me to pause it, just say pause or stop.
You don't like this?
You don't like what we're gonna watch?
Oh, you're right.
I should withhold judgment for the listeners.
See, that's the thing.
You just don't want to take a black woman seriously.
Yeah, dude.
What is your patriarchy over here?
Well, no, it's okay because, uh, Charlie Cuck is sitting right next to her, so I know that he's, like, giving some substance to what she's saying, so then I can't, in fact, judge it.
You mean he's, like, telling her everything to say?
Probably?
I'm just saying his presence, his, like, aura there.
He's vouching for her.
Yeah.
Okay, cool, cool.
Okay, so this is one of those Facebook videos, you know, it's in Facebook frame.
Top text, Black Lives Matter.
You are not oppressed.
And then the bottom text is just captions of what she's gonna say.
Okay, let's get this thing to play.
How about we do that?
Sorry.
What you're seeing happening today, obviously we have some black people that are just shouting in the back, we have some black people that are sitting in the front quietly that are chanting USA and having a normal conversation.
Okay, pause.
We got black people in the back who are just shouting, and then we got nice black people in the front who are just chanting USA and having a normal conversation.
You know, one of those normal conversations where- USA, USA, USA?
USA.
USA, USA. USA. - Hey, hey, hey. - I love that because what I say every single time and you may have seen me on the news is that what is happening right now in the black community, you're gonna hear it in this room first.
And that's true!
Holy fucking shit!
This is where TPUSA fans go to learn about the black community.
Is there one black commentator?
This is where all black ideology starts, is in this room right here.
We're reviewing this for the first time?
Yeah.
There is an ideological civil war happening.
It's one of those ideological Civil Wars.
Never mind what other sort of ideas this phrase brings to mind.
This is totally different.
It's an Info Wars.
Never mind the literal Civil War that keeps on getting oddly called for in random Facebook posts we read every single week.
Actual Civil Wars.
You ever fought in the Idea War?
I did.
My brain is ruined.
That's the problem with the black community.
They're too meta.
They only talk about themselves, dude.
They're only talking about the hypothetical war.
...passing and shouting about slavery and about people that are focused on their futures, okay?
That's really what it comes down to, okay?
I can guarantee you what you're seeing happening is victim mentality versus victor mentality.
That's great, by the way.
I love that.
Isn't that great?
I love that.
Fuck you.
Where does, where does gorilla mentality come in?
Thank you.
Yeah.
That was amazing.
Why not?
Why not just say it?
He said it again, so I was kind of... Oh, you know, we're talking about victim mentality versus victor mentality.
Why aren't we talking about gorilla mentality?
Exactly.
There is no victor mentality without gorilla mindset.
Right.
As far as I'm concerned.
You have to be willing to just sneak up and destroy.
This is that pull-up-your-pants economy I'm talking about.
This is that, if you want to win, then you try harder.
There is no such thing as privilege.
We all have the same options if we make the right choices.
Yep.
Like, fuck you.
You just don't get it.
She's a mouthpiece for the white patriarchy.
For real.
But she believes it.
She does believe it.
And that's such a bummer.
She gets a paycheck.
If you tell people to stop being a victim enough, I'm pretty sure they just turn into Michael Douglas from Falling Down.
Yeah, exactly.
Just take a gun into McDonald's and demand breakfast after 11.30?
Yes, exactly.
Not taking no for an answer anymore.
I'm sick of being a victim, yeah.
It's victim mentality versus victor mentality.
That's great, by the way.
I love that.
Isn't that great?
I love that!
No, you don't say.
There's no doubt in my mind.
I can tell you right now who is going to be better off when we look 20 years, when we look at the faces in this room, who is going to be better off are the girls that are sitting right here and across this room because they don't have your mentality.
I can also tell you who's going to be better off in 20 years.
Imagine that.
Yep.
Fuck.
Is it going to be the black community who are estimated to be in millions of dollars of debt as a community?
Yeah.
Millions?
I don't know.
Probably more than that, I'm guessing.
Yeah, I don't know the exact, but it's, it's, um, what's whatever.
It's probably a fucking shitload.
Um.
Yeah, black wealth is, like, deteriorating.
Any essence of black wealth that this country had is rapidly in decay.
I think it's at zero.
I think it's at, like, a net zero.
Yeah, I would say that there's a lot of gatekeeping going on with that one, for sure.
What do you mean?
Like, banks and schools and anything to keep black people from progressing.
Obviously.
So you're saying it's not because they didn't, uh, pull up their bootstraps.
Yeah, it might, it might not be because of that.
Okay.
Possibly.
Children, children, sorry, one more.
It's like kids that have clean uniforms perform better.
When it's like, yo man, not everyone's got a washing machine all the time.
Gotta have a sneak uniform once in a while.
Exactly.
Victim mentality is not cool.
I don't know why people like being oppressed.
It's the weirdest thing I've ever heard.
I love oppression.
We're oppressed.
400 years of slavery.
Jim Crow.
Okay, that's fucking nuts.
The way she says all of that is crazy.
It's vile.
"Ehh, four years dream come..." It's like, what?
It's vile.
Yeah.
Imagine I'm putting myself in the shoes of somebody whose ancestors were oppressed and enslaved for 400 years of If I talked that way about my own family, I'd get slapped in the fucking face by my grandparents.
My grandparents who actually, if they did live through that shit, literally she's saying, 400 years of slavery, 400 years of rape, Jim Crow, whatever.
Yeah.
It's this weird short-term memory thing and it's just like...
You know, I make it.
My father became a manager.
And we're all good now, because he worked hard.
We have to always remember this shit, because it wasn't that fucking long ago.
You have to constantly remind yourself of this.
It's an age-old adage.
Yeah.
It's just, but it's also just like she's, she's acknowledging that slavery happened over 400 years and she's acknowledging Jim Crow, but she's treating it like it's a joke and She's like the impact is not felt for forever and way further down the line, but it's just it's it's bad politics.
Yeah, like it's really bad politics because anybody else who's trying to pretend like we're not having we're not currently experiencing the effects of Jim Crow and slavery.
They would address this in a different way.
They would say, you know, we had slavery in this country for, you know, for a long time and it was horrible and we had Jim Crow, but we changed all that.
Yeah, we made it better now.
You don't do, yeah, whatever, 400 years of slavery, Jim Crow.
You don't like, why pretend somebody's whining about it?
Pretty radical stance, I must say.
She has this thought where she's like, listen guys, I am talking to you from a stage.
As a black woman, I'm allowed up here.
I got up here.
We can do anything and don't let those... break the shackles.
You have to break the shackles.
I did it!
Charlie Cuck let me hang out with him!
He writes all my fucking shit.
Isn't that what we're all looking for, is a big-headed white boy to be friends with?
I love the young fat, fat-headed white man.
Sweet boy.
400 years of slavery, Jim Crow, which by the way, none of you guys lived through.
Your grandparents didn't.
It's embarrassing that you utilize, you utilize their history.
You utilize their history and you come in here with more emotion than they ever had when they were living through it.
So she's saying that the people holding signs and protesting are more hysterical than their grandparents who literally died for civil rights.
Actually, yeah.
What is she fucking doing?
It's this weird denial of lynchings.
It's so bizarre.
I'm gonna go and try to pick apart what she said and try to find some kind of kernel of something in it.
Let's try to think about when emancipation occurred and let's think about pre-civil rights era, like 30s, 40s, South.
That those generations of black folks.
I can only imagine had the most insane PTSD from everything that happened so Maybe she is kind of right maybe and that like maybe black folks back then possibly some of them were like not doing stuff because they're so fucking disenfranchised and their cultures ripped out from underneath them and and possibly they're just wounded and they couldn't really do a whole lot other than try to scrape a living together and Yeah.
Which is a huge tangent, so thanks for letting me get that out.
To sum that up, though, is that it's not a coincidence that there's an entire generation of black America that has a fear of dogs.
Oh, no shit.
That's a real thing.
No fucking shit.
It's ingrained in them.
It's a collective... When you see pictures of people that look like you getting mauled by dogs, I don't know.
held back by people that look like your teachers and the police officers, like, you're gonna feel a little weird.
I can only imagine- So yeah, fuck, fuck, go, get the fuck outta here.
I don't know.
I'm not black and I, and I'm, I have a white privilege for sure and, uh, and I don't know what that PTSD feels like but I, I try to imagine it and that's fucking horrific.
The collective PTSD of a people.
Of an entire people.
Just commenting on the optics of this is just bizarre, and it's terrible politics.
I mean, you're going to...
You're going to be effective in the realm of people who already agree with you that black people are whiners.
You're not going to win anybody over.
She is so goddamn lucky that Kanye West mentioned her.
That is a huge thing for her.
I'm sure she gained Thousands of followers from that?
Tons.
But other than that this is just like she got lucky because Kanye somehow liked this and otherwise it's just it's not politically motivating at all.
No.
So yeah, Kanye liked this video, and I think that is true because he did tweet something later on that insinuated that this is what he was talking about.
Okay, he like quoted it or something?
No, it's the tweet that I retweeted.
He said, um, let the past be the past.
Yeah.
Or get past the past.
That makes sense.
And I said, how long do you have to be rich to feel this way about America?
Oh, shit.
Shout out at at word is bond word is bond boss.
Yeah, I just see Tony Boswell.
I can type that in that's there too.
Yeah Obviously that's wrong okay, so wrong her whole point her whole Manifesto is just like any of these other neo-conservative alt-right pieces of shit that it's just Black people aren't experiencing racism.
They're not experiencing oppression.
Stop whining and just get money.
Just get money and you'll be okay.
Work harder.
And it's funny because if you dive back into Candace Owens' history, um when she was a senior in high school she uh she got some harass harassing phone calls with like you know racial commentary racist commentary and uh it was from kids from her high school and she ended up suing the high school
The school board for $37,000 and won.
Because she got a prank phone call.
And I'm not trying to diminish the idea of harassment, but it is a phone call.
And her whole beef with the school was that They didn't expel the students before the matter was even investigated.
Like, her whole beef is that she had to go to school with these kids while the matter was being investigated by the cops or whatever.
Which, like, I mean you could...
Accuse somebody of anything and then tell the school to expel them that doesn't mean they're gonna do it like if the school sees You know something happened then of course Expel those kids to spend those kids.
My whole point is that she literally got a $37,000 payday from the public school system for for getting harassed over the phone which she obviously had money to begin with because she had an attorney that could get that money from a school from a from a public school I mean you have to have an attorney to be able to get that money so sucks I've just never seen anybody be about it so much.
We all have problems, get rid of them, man!
I had a problem, I had an obstacle in my way, and you know what I did?
I worked harder, I filed the paperwork, and I got compensated for my time.
People can be racist, but racism doesn't affect me.
Can you imagine if school worked that way for everybody?
Like, it'd be pretty cool.
Yeah, no, like unarmed black men and women getting shot in the streets.
No big deal.
Shut the fuck up.
Stop whining about it.
Me getting a prank phone call.
A mean, racist phone call.
Give me $37,000.
Also, she tried to start a whole website that was about, like, doxing internet commentators that she found offensive.
Yeah.
That's, like, it's an anti-bullying thing.
It's an anti-bullying website that she wanted to compile.
Like, a Wikipedia for trolls.
Literally for commentators who offended her.
Hot stuff.
This is amazing.
Like, never have I seen somebody so, like, up their own ass that they disappear.
She's like, listen, when you think I'm being offensive, I'm just being accurate.
I'm not going to lie on your behalf, but these things these people are saying are not true and they are rude and they are offensive.
I'm not going to spread falsehoods.
All I'm saying is anyone can get a job if they get a haircut.
Well, if they get a haircut and, and, uh, you know, uh, relax, some relaxer.
We'll just cut it short enough.
Don't look them in the eyes.
All right, let's get back to the Kanye West responses.
You're not allowed to say relaxer, dude.
You need to check yourself.
I put a hard R on that relaxer, huh?
Yeah, you need to watch it, dude.
Okay.
You want me to run away with it, or what?
You want me to run away with it?
Mm-mm.
Okay.
Can you plug in Kanye's runaway right there?
Yeah, that sounds good.
Go back and edit this.
Okay, so let me just, we just remind the listener of this sweet tweet from Kanye.
I love the way Candace Owen thinks on Saturday morning.
A day after 420, he must have smoked a little too much.
Fucking dink.
Got him.
I mean, it's true.
What a dummy.
I got so stoned that I, you know, felt like a, felt like becoming, I took the, I thought that there were, I thought that they were hot tamales, but they were actually red pills.
Cool, you sound like you're still high, yeah.
I got so high at 420 that the day after, I randomly endorsed David Duke for president.
Oops!
You went and bought a bunch of white fabric to make your own thing.
I think you just order it.
Yeah, you're gonna order one.
Joey M, I don't know what his fucking handle is on here, I'm not gonna say it.
I'm gonna try to avoid saying a lot of these people's handles on Twitter because they don't need any coverage.
Says yes bunch of exclamation points make America great again in response to Kanye Comes in with another tweet Kanye free the african-american community from the Democrat plantation Comes in with another tweet the Democrats have been using the black community for so long and is absolutely a disgrace I'm not the messenger to get people to form to the Republican Party or to turn to the Republican Party I But we've got to get people away from the Democrats.
So, let me just say, yeah Joey, I'm seeing your avatar on Twitter and you are not the one, you're not the messenger for any black people.
You're just the messenger who tells Kanye to make black people turn to revolucionism.
Yeah, you're a white guy so shut the fuck up about this shit.
What's funny is, I mean, he's not wrong.
Like, yeah.
Honestly, the Democrats, just like both parties, don't do enough for black people.
True.
I think that's very true.
But the answer is not just option B. That's the whole thing, is that we gotta understand.
Yeah, both these parties are bullshit and there's other options out there.
It's certainly not this conspiratorial take on like, you know, Democrat Plantation.
That's just super real.
You can't argue that part.
You can't argue that like, yeah, Democrats don't do enough for black people.
But I mean, then you, if it wasn't for that Make America Great Again, I might be thinking, because there was a moment recently where like, um, Black Socialist Twitter, um, was like, Hoping that Kanye was gonna go that way?
Was gonna come on to the other side?
Damn.
There was like a brief stint.
It was literally 45 minutes.
No way.
Because we woke up to this crazy tweet.
No way.
They were saying things like, oh God, Comrade Kanye?
And then I left Phil in the morning.
Oh shit.
He didn't go to sleep that night.
Yeah, I love- I love the desperation in Joey's, like- Yeah.
I'm not the messenger, but uh, we have- we have to get these people away from the Democrats!
Somebody has to yell fire, okay?
We can't let that happen.
Someone has to say it out loud.
I'm not gonna let you guys die that way.
And I mean, it's hilarious.
We're going to experience this throughout this whole segment, but it's the right wing so desperate for celebrity endorsement, like so fucking desperate for celebrity endorsement after decades of saying that, you know, who cares what these dancing monkeys think about politics?
And just the second any entertainer or any, you know, Celebrity of any note, including Roseanne Barr, says anything positive about them.
It's fucking all the way.
It's the same thing with... I'll save it for when we get to it.
Yeah, we got some stuff.
Joey comes back in again with, The Democrats discovered the KKK.
Which is cool.
It's really...
Yeah, no, the Democrats are like the fourth K. People don't talk about it, but they're the ones who actually discovered the KKK and gave them their career.
They found them in the woods out in like Mississippi or wherever the fucking hell they formed.
The KKK opened for them on the first tour.
Yeah.
Another fucking tired ass take.
It's just so fucking tired.
Yeah, we have it like every single show.
Fun photo comes in and says, they were invoked.
Involved.
They were involved in the formation, yes, and the parties flipped.
You just put these posts out for reaction in the hopes that people won't research.
Again, I have been to Freedom Fest to have you.
Wait, no.
Again, I have been to Freedom Fest to have you.
I've been to Tea Party Meeting and Libertarian Meetings as well as GOP.
Okay, so he's obviously clued in on maybe the one or two black people this person's ever met at any of those meetings, you know.
But I love that whole, this whole call-out's like, dude, you're not even down.
Like, you're not even down.
I have the early cuts.
Yeah, I'm going.
You know they weren't even called that in the beginning?
They weren't even called Democrats?
They were just called KKK?
Did you know they weren't even called the KKK to start out?
They were called the Quarrymen?
Whoa!
All digging ditches.
Not really, that was actually black people.
Yeah, I was making a Beatles joke.
Oh, nice.
Yeah, continue.
I don't like the Beatles.
I wish I did.
You might like their early stuff.
They used to be called the Quarrymen.
Kevin Addix comes in with, the party's flipped?
Do you really think all the politicians would agree to flip?
When did they agree on anything?
Use common sense.
Okay, this is the take right here.
This is amazing.
We've all tried to whip votes in Congress.
We've all seen it attempt to happen in real life.
These guys can't agree on anything.
You think you could get a bunch of white guys to agree that black people are bad?
Come on.
There's no bipartisan legislation out there at all.
You're going to look me in the eyes and you're going to tell me that the fucking Yankees and the fucking Sox are going to sit down and just trade every single team, member of the team, team for team, every single buddy, you know, we're going to get him, you're going to get him, we're going to swap for the whole team.
You think that both the Sox and the Yankees are going to agree on that?
No way.
It's easier to just switch the franchise, like Boston Yankees, New York Red Sox.
Switch them.
No way!
I'm not going to see my boys in stripes.
I'm not going to see my boys in stripes.
But that is the allegory, though.
Because, I mean, the Democrats, you know, they weren't the KKK.
But then they discovered the KKK, and then they're like, let's be the KKK.
They grab their robes and stuff.
Yeah, I mean, it would be like if, you know, you fight, you want to...
I don't know.
Find everybody who likes hamburgers in the Senate.
And you're like, we're gonna start a bill to give free hamburgers to everybody.
Even the people who like hamburgers would be like, you know they're not even from Hamburg?
You know they're an American dish?
Yeah.
They're just contrarians.
Even if they are racist, they're just going to not be racist in order to be a contrarian.
Hamburgers should be called Delaware's then, right?
Okay.
I think they should be called San Bernardino's because that's where McDonald's was started.
I agree with that.
I mean, they do have the best hamburgers, so.
Facts.
Yeah, or whatever.
The little onions.
Mmm.
Little onions and mustards.
Mmm.
Onion.
Cool, dude.
I just love the idea that it's a huge conspiracy theory that all the racists would flee the party endorsing civil rights.
Yeah, of course.
Leave that real quick, you know.
Leave it behind.
Cool Dude says, who is Candace Owens?
And then Deplorable Val says, and gorgeous black woman.
And then Louis Savory, whatever, says strong, conservative, bold, and free-thinking black woman.
Yeah, that's who Candace Owens is.
I like my women like I like my coffee.
Bold and free-thinking.
I can do what I want.
That's my racist coffee joke for you.
I appreciate it.
Bold.
I don't even know what to say about this.
It's very descriptive of what she is.
This thing happens on the internet when you're not sure how to feel about a post because you might not know about the information.
You might have heard Kanye endorse someone named Candace Owens and you went straight to Spotify.
But then you read the comments and you realize, okay, something's clearly wrong here.
Maybe I should go on DatPiff or Live Mixtapes and find the deep cut.
SoundCloud.
Yes, SoundCloud.
Find the deep cut.
Yeah, she's a white SoundCloud rapper with face tattoos.
So when you have to find her on the internet, you just Google her and then you find out the sad truth.
And you're like, oh cool, YouTube page, this is going to be fucking, this is going to slap.
I thought you put this in here because somebody literally describes her as a gorgeous black woman.
So she is in the realm of our gorgeous Sarah Huckabee Sanders as well.
Add her to the list.
I promise you that's why I picked this.
It's Candace and Sarah.
Just the two of them.
Then we get a little guy coming in here saying, replying to Connie, Kanye!
Like, four exclamation points, like, hey!
Those are actually, uh, explantation points.
Oh, there it was.
This is the same thing.
This is the same thing.
I see this post and I think to myself, oh man, yeah, I'm yelling Kanye too because I'm really upset.
I probably agree with C.J.
Pearson.
Like, I'm really upset too.
I'm exclaiming Kanye.
I'm like, Kanye!
Right, and I thought that when I clicked on it.
I was shaking my fist, by the way.
We need like a negative exclamation point.
You know, like there has to be some sort of like connotation to the exclamation point.
We should put them before and after the sentence.
Maybe.
One upside down in the beginning, one at the end.
I like that.
Yeah, we'd be the first people to do that.
But no, CJ isn't like Matt at Kanye.
CJ, I'll read you his Twitter profile.
CJ Pearson, the left's youngest nightmare.
High school sophomore.
So he's a lil lil lil lil lil mouthpiece for the right!
He's a young black conservative who goes viral for being young and black and conservative.
He's got a lot of followers.
He's a huge dork.
He's a huge suit-and-tie dork.
He's like a little Ben Shapiro.
This is what I was going to segue into from my conversation about the right wing being desperate for any sort of celebrity endorsement.
They're also desperate for any sort of child endorsement, despite what they say about David Hogg or, uh, what's her name?
Emma Gonzalez?
Yeah, there you go.
Despite what they say about the kids they don't like, they are so desperate for any child that they'll put a...
A eight-year-old in a MAGA hat on Fox News.
Well, C.J.
Pearson isn't like one of those SoundCloud rappers.
Look at him.
He's well put together.
He is handsome as all get-up.
He's very well-spoken.
He doesn't care about Gucci or Louis or Fendi.
He's not trying to rhyme.
I bet you he would try to, like, I mean, even fucking, what's-her-name, Tomi Loren, like, raps to Drake on her fucking Instagram or whatever.
Of course she does.
We just want to include that.
No, I think we're just gonna come back from this pause so I can get this out of the way.
Oh, didn't you?
I'm just gonna say real fast, there's some question during our brief break we took right now.
I am Team Sarah Huckabee Sanders over Team Candace Owens.
Okay.
I'm gonna say that.
You know, Sarah's my type, you know?
All right.
I'm gonna say that.
I'm gonna keep it 100.
Hey, didn't you have a thought though?
That's what it became.
Became that.
Became Sarah B. Huckabee.
Sarah B. Huckabee on Easter Sunday.
Looking so good.
Having a malfunction with Google Slides at the moment.
Kanye was having some malfunctions with the Yeezy slides, you guys see those things?
Yep, definitely.
They're terrible.
Did you see that?
No, see I didn't even know that flip-flops were called slides.
Well these are different, yeah, they have like a chunky sole.
They're not flip-flops, dude.
They're like, they're athletic, kinda.
They're so you have some cushion when you're walking around.
Okay.
When you fucking a bitch.
Oh, Gucci ones.
God damn it.
That's a future reference.
That's all.
You can include that.
He said, I just fucked your b-word in some Gucci flip-flops.
But he says flip-flops!
Your whole point is unraveling.
But they are slides, they're not flip-flops.
Flip-flops are thongs, so...
Let's go.
We're already at 45 minutes.
Okay, so Tell me when to go Diva Palooza responds to CJ and Kanye maybe at Kanye West and at Candace real Candace will invite you to the party to CJ So like Diva is trying to get Kanye to get CJ to invite and Candace to invite No God damn it They're trying to invite him to the fucking Republican Party or some fucking birthday party.
I don't know what they're trying to invite him to.
No, she thinks that, like, she thinks that the next picture of a Kanye party, like, she's going to be in it.
Candace Owens is going to be in the picture with Kanye and Cudi and, like, Pusha T and Drake.
They're all going to be hanging out with Candace Owens.
She's going to be in there with a bottle of champagne.
I just love the idea that DivaPalooza replies to CJ Pearson who has 112,000 followers.
Hey kid!
Maybe if you're lucky you'll get invited to the Republican Party.
C.J.
Pearson, who is verified on Twitter.
Yeah, verified.
I mean, he's got 112,000 followers on Twitter.
Oh, he does.
That's true.
I'm gonna skip this one and go up to... KnowTheLedge says, Kanye, please pay close attention to who is agreeing with you on this.
That ain't your tribe, bruh.
Which I love.
I love that.
That's absolutely... He's right.
Hey, obviously, the wrong people are enjoying this.
Maybe think about what's going on.
So yeah, but your response?
I don't think he thinks about that.
And then Lady Pede Sally Jupiter comes in and says that name.
Yeah, it's crazy.
Lady Pede as in centipede.
Yeah, like she's a centipede.
She's part of the Donald subreddit.
You guys see that movie Human Lady Pede?
Yeah, dude.
Where Sally Jupiter is connected to another Sally Jupiter and they poop in each other's mouth.
In each other's mouths?
Yeah.
Well, 69 so.
Okay.
Whatever, it's easier that way.
We all saw the movie.
Yeah, less people to hire.
people to hire.
His tribe are patriotic Americans of all colors, shapes, and sizes who love and respect the Constitution.
We don't care what you look like or who you love.
All are welcome to #MAGA.
There is no people but the American people.
You just need to get rid of all these hyphens.
We're all Republicans.
It's so fucking insane.
Yeah, Kanye, NovaLedge is showing you one of the people you shouldn't accept into your life, and it's a lady-peed Sally Jupiter.
She wants you to join MAGA, but just don't do it, please.
It's the whole thing, too, where he didn't really say much of anything.
He just really didn't, but... No, he didn't.
He didn't mention... He didn't mention MAGA.
He didn't mention, you know, the Constitution at all.
But yeah, all that comes with the package, eh?
You gotta understand what you're doing.
Yeah, we should scrap this whole thing.
Maybe he didn't even, like... Maybe he's being sarcastic?
Or, yeah, or maybe he's, like...
I just like the way she thinks.
I'm not saying I like her politics.
I just like the way her brain goes from one item to the next and how she accomplishes things.
I mean, that's probably what he will say as an excuse.
Yeah, I hope someone... I mean, maybe he'll do it.
I don't know.
He's not great with words because if he gets on a microphone and says his shit, he'll probably say something stupid again.
Well, I don't know if you knew this, but, um, so the, the, um, Democrats are trying to ban red hats because they find all red hats offensive.
Yeah.
But the good news is, is that Yeezy, uh, the next Yeezy release is actually going to have a new MAGA hat.
Cool.
Yeah.
It's going to be really minimal.
It's going to be really minimal.
Um, and so that's going to replace it.
So you can still support MAGA through Yeezy.
Only the officially licensed one.
Awesome.
Uh, Roseanne.
Our perpetual lady of sorrow comes in and says to Kanye, bingo.
Yeah, so Roseanne's got you.
You guys can go hang out with fucking Candace Owens together or whatever.
I'd love to see a room with all three of them in it.
Can't you see Kanye walking onto the set of Roseanne?
Can you guys see that?
Yeah, fuck yeah.
Like, what's the daughter's name?
Oh, you got a new boyfriend?
And he comes in the door, he's like, eh, I'm yay.
I can see Roseanne Barr entering the writers room and telling them to scrap the five Kanye West jokes they had for next season.
Yep.
Absolutely.
I'm surprised we didn't get a Kanye West is, is like loud and annoying joke in the first two episodes of that show.
I mean, maybe it wasn't in the fall.
I mean, there's like five episodes now or something, right?
I haven't caught up.
Like I said, I was gonna.
Like, I can see the joke where Kanye's on the news and Roseanne says something along the lines of, like, he probably should stick to auto-tuning and then that's it.
Yeah, and then a tweet from Candace Owen who responds to Sean King's assertion that, you know, she's bad.
She says, out of curiosity, are you still pretending to be black?
Which, I alluded to in the beginning, yeah, that's a far-right, Breitbart conspiracy theory that Sean King isn't actually black because he's light-skinned.
It's one of those things they take for fact.
They think absolutely fact, there's no questioning it.
He lies, he pretends to be an oppressed person, he's actually white, he is like Rachel Dolezal, and it all sucks so bad.
I had to actually explain to a coworker that that's not true.
I had to explain to him, no that's actually not true.
It sucks because I think a lot of it is they know that he's black but it's just a joke to them to call him white because it like is it like an insult to him or something or like you know calling him a fraud is just part of the insult yeah but no people like believe it people genuinely believe that he's lying about his because on one The origin of this is he was assaulted, he was beat, like, I'm pretty sure within an inch of his life, and he was in the hospital.
He's still got scars from it on his face.
He was fucking assaulted and, you know, what's the word?
Anyway, like, by a few people.
Jumped.
Jumped, and then the cop who came and took the report Uh his mom was in the room and his mom's white and he she was the only parent present and there was no mark on the form for mixed race.
Yeah.
It was just white or black you could only fill in one so he filled in white because the mom was there and like the police officer has even said like that was what happened.
Yeah.
And so they took that one form And built a conspiracy theory around it.
I don't know.
The conspiracy is that he would probably get more help if they checked that box than the other one.
No, I've been in that exact situation.
I've been in that exact situation.
It's so crazy.
I was in a situation when I was a teenager, and me and my dad got arrested because we were driving my stepmom's car, and she didn't have his name, and we got arrested.
And like, I remember having this confusion, like, ah shit, I know that white people get taken care of better by the police, but I also know that if I say I'm white, they won't believe that's my dad, even though we look very similar.
We look very similar.
But I am definitely, I'm light.
I'm very light.
And um, it's a weird place to be, man.
So, yeah, like, that's so...
It's crazy to be, like, digging into this conspiracy.
Yeah, it makes me uncomfortable.
Not even, like, her not even trying to say, like, fuck you, Sean King, for disagreeing with me.
It's like, no, you're white.
Oh.
Like, it's wild.
It's a wild, again, a very bad political stance, you know, bad politics.
Which, I might be super shitty and say, if anyone's white here, it's you, Candace.
Fucker.
Which, for the record, what I did was I took both bubbles and drew yin-yang symbols in both of them.
So that they're both half and half filled.
The Caucasian and the black bubble, I made yin-yangs in both.
Well, that was a missed opportunity for putting a Wu-Tang symbol in each one.
Because you know white people love Wu-Tang.
Yeah, they ruined it.
And that takes up more than 50% of a circle.
Alright, let's get to Facebook.
We're at 50 minutes.
There's not, I mean we could probably tear through a lot of this shit.
Oh well, obviously you gotta describe what we're gonna see here in a second.
I really kind of hate Google Slides every time it fucking does this.
It's cause of the cloud thing.
Gets all wonky donkey.
Why you gotta touch your computer?
Why you gonna try to go from slide to slide then?
Dude, you shouldn't try that.
Okay, so there was, you know, this is big news.
This is big news in the right-wing blogosphere, the right-wing media circle that Kanye West, a man whom they've hated for the last 12...
When was Hurricane Katrina?
2005?
2005, I think?
2004.
Or 2003.
No way.
I think so.
Yeah, that sounds right.
Ever since then, they've despised Kanye West.
But now, all of a sudden, oh boy, we got one on our team.
Both a celebrity and a black celebrity, to top it off.
This is big news.
And to show how big this news is, we have an article from Fox News Insider
where the thumbnail is the sort of jumbotron like news wall that they have in these cable news uh newsrooms you know it's it's the ones they use to report like you know uh operation iraqi freedom and all that kind of shit it's like what the headliners it's it's like what wolf blitzer would be gesturing at on election night it's like a giant like Uh, entire wall screen.
And on this screen, in this thumbnail, is just a massive, blown-up screenshot of Kanye West's tweet.
Yeah.
It's one tweet on a 12-foot tall screen.
It looks so insane.
This is big news, folks.
I mean, Fox News probably loves this so much.
Yeah, and so I'm just going to go through a few comments from this that are pretty terrible, as a matter of fact.
Anne-Marie Reds is responding to somebody who says like, you know, Kanye didn't mean it or he's being sarcastic.
Anne-Marie Reds says, no baby, that's Wes speaking from his heart and speaking the truth.
Black people needs to wake up and smell the coffee.
Most are getting dumber and dumber by the moment.
But you have to also address that Anne-Marie can't spell dumber.
Yeah, dumber's spelled wrong twice.
Um... Yeah, Anne-Marie, what the fuck?
Well, have you seen the way they're dressing these days?
Like, that's what they're thinking, it's...
Yeah, it's the opposite of smart.
Like, you know, you dress smart and prim and proper for a job interview.
Like CJ.
Yeah, well, they're dressing dumb and that's why they're unemployed.
That's really fucked up, Emory.
You're fucking racist.
You wake up and smell the black coffee.
Oh, right.
Yeah, I almost forgot about that.
I'm surprised.
Does anybody wake up to cream coffee?
I don't think so.
I'm surprised she avoided doing a coffee joke here.
Real missed opportunity there.
John Hull says, stand up to the quote, new plantation.
Yeah.
The democrat masses.
Massas?
No, that's definitely.
Nope.
It's masses.
Definitely masses.
Masses.
No, like masses.
Like masters, but in a black affectation.
You know, a stereotypical black affectation.
I'm proud of myself for not getting that right away.
Yeah.
Who throw table scraps at the vast plurality of minority citizens, pandering to a sense of perpetual victimhood as paltry, quote, wages in exchange for the most priceless commodity a citizen has to give the nonproductive politician class their wages in exchange for the most priceless commodity a citizen has A lot going on in this.
this tweet yeah comment rather like uh it's hard to unpack it dude i i it's like a pandora's box so what they're saying is that they're using wages in like a uh abs like a metaphorical sense and like the wages that uh the black community gets are rhetorical overtures toward
discrimination and in exchange for those quote wages which John describes as paltry, which, you know, I think we would agree here, I guess.
Absolutely, I mean, sure, yeah.
In exchange for that, you give them your labor, which is a vote.
So this is like a really weird way of saying that black people aren't paid well enough.
But he's not saying that at all.
He's saying that, but he doesn't mean it that way.
He doesn't mean it in the obvious, factual way.
It's a really weird fucking thing to say.
But when's the last time a Democrat gave you a job?
None, because it's only the small business owner who gives me a job.
Small business owners are typically conservative Republicans.
If you do, if you know what's smart for you, if you put your vote where your dollar goes...
Scott Mitchelson.
Last comment for this comment section.
Scott Mitchelson says, This just in, Kanye's Twitter has been banned for hate speech.
like, right?
Oh, my.
Get him, get him.
This just in.
Kanye's Twitter has been banned for hate speech.
The post, I love the way Candace Owen thinks, promotes a hateful message.
And Rebecca Barry Kistler says, for real?
And Fern Harrell says, really?
And Scott Mitchelson says, no, it's a joke.
And he posts the 21 Savage meme, it's a joke.
And 21's in there, like, on the couch, like, it's a joke.
Yeah, like in that meme.
I wish he was that funny.
Oh, that one meme?
I had to describe the meme for the people because they're not looking at it right now.
Right.
Well, no one is, because he didn't actually do it.
I don't want to give him any credit for this funny thing that Alex said.
Hey, I just touched this.
Is this still going?
We're still going?
I just touched the rack a little.
Yeah, no, that's fine.
You can touch my rack all you want, dude.
You can touch it, touch it, touch it.
Can I put my finger through these holes that are in the back of it?
I have holes in my rack?
Do something.
I better get those checked out.
Do something.
Sorry, I'm singing a Kanye song.
Uh, yeah, no, I love this.
This is, like, this is a joke.
This is, like, A, it's funny because this is, like, what they think is funny is, like, like you said, Democrats are going to ban red hats because they're so offensive.
And...
They think it's like they they play it off like a joke but like they actually really believe this deep in their hearts that they their bodies are about to be like criminalized like their existence as a white conservative is is about to be criminalized and so you can't just say something like that and not have the entire comment section believe you.
Well, to be fair, the collective consciousness of Southern white men and their descendants is probably in fear of being enslaved because, I mean, look what just happened a couple centuries ago.
I'd be scared if I did that to a bunch of people.
Sure.
Well, I mean, have you seen the NFL?
Yeah, they're coming.
No, but I also love how stupid it is to respond to this.
It's like, this is an easy fact check.
Such an easy fact check.
And the time it takes you to respond to this, you could have just looked on your Twitter and it would have shown you he's still active.
Yeah, this is where you put that.
Let me Google that for you.
Well, it's not, I mean, this tweet isn't on Gab.
It's not on me-we.
It's not in the comment section of Fox News.
So, like, where are you going to see it?
Where else are you going to see it?
Exactly.
Oh, I know where.
Maybe through Turning Points.
That's a good guess, because wouldn't you know it, right on this same slide we have a post from Turning Points USA.
Which, the caption, Today Kanye West had some incredible words to say about Turning Point USA's Director of Communications Candace Owens.
Hashtag think for yourself.
Hashtag Kanye.
Hashtag BigGovSucks.
And they whipped up, what are these called?
Like a macro?
Image macro?
It's a library poster.
Yeah.
It's the athlete telling you to read poster that's in the library.
Yes.
That's exactly what it is.
That's exactly what this is.
Yeah, it's the athlete telling you to read, except he's telling you to read the Turner Diaries.
Holy shit.
Nice, dude.
He says, so it's a pic of Kanye West looking toward the camera in sort of like a deliberate and Like he's ruminating on an idea?
It's a very sincere look.
It's a sincere look, though.
Yeah, looking hard, though.
Kind of looking hard at the camera.
Introspective.
A little introspective hard.
And then the quote is, I love the way Candace Owen thinks.
Kanye West, Turning Point USA.
And I think Kanye West appearing at a Turning Point USA meme is like the apex of this show.
It really is.
It's fucking crazy.
How do we get past this?
We try hard.
The only way that I'm going to be okay with the way this ends is if Kanye somehow like sues them for using his image somehow because they're not like a real media company.
That's the only way.
That has to happen.
I might do it for him.
I'm going to start a GoFundMe campaign and we're going to sue Turning Point for using Kanye St.
Pablo's image.
You should see if you get Candace Owen's lawyer.
Ooh, that'd be fun.
Alright, yeah, so Kanye West looking through the window of a Turning Points USA meme.
The whole world is broken down.
We're looking at a three-dimensional reality squashed into a 2D meme, and Joe D. Camps, or Joe Camps, So did you guys have to translate what he was saying as he doesn't know how to speak English?
Crying laughing.
Holy shit.
Kanye West is really bad with words and language.
Yeah, and that's not what I think of when I think of Kanye.
I think of shoes.
Like, when he's like, uh, your whole team's Steve Urkels, that's why your win's low.
Like, what does that mean?
That means nothing.
It means nothing.
First of all, Steve Urkel is like, a really fun character.
Like, he's the most successful character, you know?
He's like, uh, fun and cool.
Nice.
He's nice.
He's nice.
He doesn't speak any bonnocks.
You know who I didn't like?
Stefan.
No.
Too suave.
Too much sauce.
Way too aggressive.
Very aggressive.
When he walks in a room, I'm like... I clutch my wallet.
I clutch my phone.
Make sure I have it.
And he didn't take it out of my pocket when I wasn't looking.
Yeah, I clutched my pearls.
Terry Vasquez says... Okay, no, I'm gonna do Mary J's first, because it's more reprehensible.
I don't want to end with this one.
Good man.
Mary J, Node, Naud.
Okay, so she's excited and excited for this new thing going on with Kanye.
And I don't think we talked about it, but yeah, Kanye West previously endorsed Donald Trump right before his mental breakdown.
I'll say that lightly.
Before he left Twitter.
Yeah, and so that was like a conspiracy theory that because he endorsed Trump, his handlers had to put him into a mandatory psychiatric care.
That's really a real thing?
They call them handlers?
That's what QAnon calls them, yeah.
That is racist.
I'm just gonna go say that.
QAnon sucks.
But then she keeps going here.
She does.
Kanye is tired of the democratic way.
But she spells it Cain, which I think it's funny to spell Kanye Cain.
Oh, you're right.
Cain West.
I like that.
Some of my plaques still say Cain.
Cain is tired of the democratic way.
He just needs his mouth washed out with soap and a good whipping.
And he just might make it.
LOL.
There it is.
So you think she's gonna be nice and enjoy Kanye's new political stance, but no, she thinks he should be whipped.
Well, he still needs to be punished for past transgressions.
Right.
Speaking out against, you know, George Bush, white people.
One of my all-time favorite clips, by the way.
It makes me sad to see Kanye tweet about Keanu Sowens like this.
But it's just like, I mean, when you... When you try to domesticate an animal, just because they don't bite you when they feed one time doesn't mean you can trust them.
You gotta... You gotta... You gotta whip and... Whip and, uh... Make it eat soap?
Wash it out with soap?
Like... You gotta make it more docile?
Like, what the f... This is... It's not fucking good enough.
Like, this is the... This is where we... This is where we're at.
These people are so fucking racist.
They can't even, like, take... They can't even take a win.
Can't even take a win.
Nope.
Must be why their wins are so low.
Oh, I just got that.
Oh, maybe he is a genius.
Okay, and so I didn't include it for some reason but Candace Owens had a interesting tweet Racist, white supremacist, homophobe, alt-right, sexist, misogynist, crazy.
So she's like quoting her critics.
Your words aren't strong enough.
BuzzFeed, The Wrap, Daily Mail, Mediaite, Complex, Twitter, Yahoo.
Your whips aren't long enough.
Okay.
Fucking bravo.
I get what she's saying here.
Bravo Candace.
I get where she's leading with this.
Bravo Candace.
Go ahead and try to make fun of that.
Go ahead.
Have fun trying to make fun of that.
Yeah, this is like the Democratic Plantation thing, you know?
It's so, so good.
You need to get over slavery and Jim Crow and the unarmed black people who were killed this month, this year alone.
You need to get over it and stop being so emotional over shit that doesn't affect you.
Stuff that's not real.
Suck it up, snowflake.
Also, words are whips on my back.
Also, I'm being whipped by BuzzFeed.
By BuzzFeed, the most fucking stupid milquetoast shit ever.
But like, she doesn't even acknowledge that era, so what is she referring to with whips?
Like, maybe she's speaking on just like political terms, like you can't sway me.
Tight.
That's cool.
That's admirable.
Maybe like she's talking like they're not flossing hard enough because they're not in like stretch limos.
Damn.
The whips aren't even that long.
The whips aren't stretch limousines because that's what they all be riding around nowadays.
It's common.
Whip the skirt.
Real quick question before we close this one.
Who would be our blue star boy?
Would it be Kanye or Candice?
It's gotta be Candice.
Gotta be Candice.
Candice is our blue star boy.
Candice, you're our blue star boy.
You're the one.
She got that blue star checkmark next to her.
There it is.
She got that blue star booty.
And let's end with a funnier comment.
Terry Vasquez says about this Kanye West tweet, but this is again in the comments section of Turning Points USA.
Terry says, cool the Jets, folks.
He probably never said this.
We only see such crap online.
Nowhere else.
He didn't say this?
Yeah, no, it's true.
If you think about it, you only ever see these tweets, these supposed tweets online.
This is interesting though.
Is this going to be in the Times?
Yeah, for sure.
Because then I'll believe it.
Once I see it in print, I'll only believe print.
It probably wouldn't be in the Times if it didn't go viral.
That's probably the only reason they would care about it.
The Times should have a tweet section for all the old folks that still read it.
They can see all Donald's stuff.
And I love that this is the one thing that Terry Vasquez is being skeptic about online.
Yeah.
It's whether or not Kanye tweeted something that you can easily just look and see.
Okay, let's move on to the last segment of this podcast.
The real victims.
It's STRAP IT!
We're talking about Striper and their new album, uh, which for some god damn reason... Woah, dude.
...is... Geez.
...isn't being sold in Walmart.
Why, dude?
Why do you think?
I'm having deja vu right now.
You always do, dude.
Every episode.
Yeah.
Real quick.
I just cut it out.
Have I ever talked about... So when I was younger, I was like a staunch Catholic for a period of time, and I used to use all the cuss words.
I used to... Fuck shit.
All that stuff.
There's probably more, isn't there?
Probably there's a couple more, but you know, I don't have too many hot takes.
But like, I wouldn't say goddamn.
Yeah.
I'd be like, hey, you don't gotta bring... You don't gotta damn my God, man.
I told people that.
Hey, you don't gotta damn my God.
Man, you're a fucking asshole when you're a Catholic, dude.
I told someone that one time.
I was the worst when I was Catholic.
Yeah, it's terrible.
Yeah, no, the name of this album is God Damn Evil.
Oh yeah!
And that's why Walmart is refusing to carry it, is because it says goddamn in the title of the album.
It's on the cover.
And this is, you know, this is a clever thing that Christian bands love to do, is to, like, they love to be able to curse within the rules.
Edgy.
You know, this is technically a curse, but it's also technically a good curse.
Yeah.
It's, you know, it's...
Walmart also famous for not carrying that Sinai Beach shirt that said harder than hell on the back of it.
That was Walmart that wouldn't carry it?
Yeah.
Is that real?
Well they definitely didn't carry it.
They absolutely did not carry it.
They also refused to carry Impending Doom's album when they were scaring the hell out of people.
Oh man.
This is something that Christian bands love to do.
They love to, like, get off on a- like, be able to curse with- via a technicality.
Yeah.
It's really edgy.
Goddamn evil.
Damn it to hell.
I was just talking about a female dog.
You know?
You talking about the Italian song?
You ain't my b-word?
No, I see my- No, see, Metallica's cool and they can cuss no matter what.
Yeah.
Then I don't need to.
I mean, I think that's the whole thing is that we knew that they were woke even then.
You saw their hair was long?
They cut it off.
And they're like, we're not.
So, yeah.
So do we want to listen to this request?
Yeah, let's listen to this fuckin' GD... This request to God?
To damn evil?
Yeah, no, it's like a demand.
It's like a demand to God.
It's actually just a prayer.
Goddamn evil, goodnight.
Amen.
No, wrong song.
No, Matt, Matt, put your shirt back on.
Uh, you want me to stop touching my nipples?
That too.
I mean, you can do that, but just keep your shirt on.
You want me to stop waving it around my head?
Oh my god.
Sure this isn't like a Jack Black joke?
My dad loves whole band.
My dad loves Striper, dude.
They're cool.
They're Christian, dude.
My dad's in the comments.
The tone is so bad.
Let the games begin.
Dance with the devil.
We should do a hybrid That Awful Sound, Minion Death Cult, and find a Striper video to cover.
Are their politics that bad?
Nah, maybe.
Probably.
I'm sure.
The Christian hair metal band, like, I'm sure their politics are terrible.
Dude, they're prolific.
See, yeah.
One of their more famous albums, To Hell With The Devil.
You get it?
It's okay to say.
Fuck yeah.
They got a live at the whiskey.
Fuck yeah.
Do you think they drink whiskey while they play live?
If they do, I don't believe they're Christian.
Well, as long as you get it consecrated before the show.
Hold on.
Let's see this.
I'm on a highway to heaven. - This is seriously just ACDC, this whole fucking song.
Yeah.
And it's also, I love it because it's...
It's, um, God.
Damn.
Evil.
God.
Damn.
It.
All.
And I like to think that he's just saying, like, fuck the world.
Yeah.
Like, just end it.
God.
God.
Damn.
Evil.
And then just God.
Damn.
Everything.
God.
Damn.
It.
All.
And then there's also, uh, so we're talking about Walmart.
We're talking about this album.
Uh, there's also a line, uh, God save the people.
God.
Damn.
Evil.
God.
Save the people.
And I feel like it's a missed opportunity with Walmart.
You know, Walmart refused to carry the album at all, but I feel like they could have actually used this song in, like, a marketing campaign.
God Save the People, uh, Save Money, Live Better, Walmart.
You know, you go, save the people money.
This shit writes itself, dude.
You should work for Walmart.
Oh, okay.
Quit your union job and go work for Walmart.
So yeah, Striper posted about this on Facebook.
Walmart has refused to carry the new album.
No explanation in the caption.
It's for the fans.
To let the fans know.
They can't get it there.
And the headline is, Walmart refuses to carry chart-topping Christian rock band's new album.
So, no political motivation to this post whatsoever.
This had 3.1 thousand angry faces.
Well, plus a like and a shocked face as well.
But the angry face was the predominant react.
Yeah, I'm fucking pissed, dude.
The quote from the article that I liked is, We're disappointed, says Striper frontman Michael Sweet.
Striper has always been about making people think outside the box.
Our new album, titled Goddamn Evil, is a statement that's needed in our society.
We've seen evil rise to new levels, and this title is simply a prayer request asking God to damn or condemn all the evil around us.
Like how you gotta ask God to do his job.
Oh, absolutely.
What do you think prayer's about?
It's just like a laundry, it's a honeydew for God.
We've seen, yeah, many chains have joined us in making such a statement.
Like chain stores.
All the chains.
What?
Maybe he meant like slavery chains.
Oh boy.
Going with the rest of this episode.
There you go.
Callback.
Many chains have joined us in making such a statement.
Walmart, unfortunately, has not.
The odd thing is, of all the chains out there, we assumed Walmart would be the one to understand exactly what our point and purpose is.
So to join the chain of their statement, you have to sell their album?
Basically.
I guess so.
It's a tacit endorsement.
Selling something means you agree with the message behind it.
You vote with your dollars.
With all the giant, corporately owned megastores, I thought Walmart was the best.
I thought Walmart was the most Christian of the billion dollar, big box store industry.
I thought they represented my values.
They do the Lord's work.
I mean, they do sell guns.
Outfitting the militias?
You can get American flags there year-round, not just on the 4th.
You can actually get this album battered and breaded at Chick-fil-A.
Yeah, hell yeah.
They'll do it.
Let's go through these comments.
Alright, so...
Uh, Lelus?
Is that it?
Lelus Maldonado says, maybe adding a coma after God would help, and I'm sure that person meant comma.
I'm open-minded, but not everyone interpret or analyze things or the purpose of doing something.
So, uh, yeah, not everybody, uh, interprets things or analyzes things or the purpose of why you're doing anything at all.
Very, just like existential comment altogether.
You know, like really making me question a lot of shit.
Like why won't a Christian, uh, big box store Walmart carry Striper?
Why?
Why?
That's the evil they're talking about.
We live in a world where we're being so censored by the snowflakes that even Walmart won't carry a Christian album.
So that's the evil.
Censoring.
It's all the censoring.
And then Lawrence Willis comes in here, a separate comment says, God damn Walmart!
You know?
I do agree with that.
It's great audio, Matt.
Keep it up.
I will.
It sounds good, dude.
I do agree with goddamn Walmart, though.
Yeah, me too.
But it's just funny because, like, Lawrence is pissed because they won't carry Striper.
And I only know who Striper is because my dad loves him in REO Speedwagon.
It's his favorite band.
James Leasley responds to Lawrence Willis.
Sorry, but that's awful.
Yeah, it's definitely bad.
Craig Martin comes in with, uh, I know, I've been looking for it all day.
Best Buy isn't even selling it, and heck, I have bought the last two albums there.
So, no one's selling that Striper album.
I wonder why?
Isn't Best Buy, though, isn't, aren't they, they're not selling CDs soon.
They're not getting rid of CDs very soon.
Yeah.
That's a real thing.
So why, so why are they gonna get, like, last order gonna be Striper?
Let's risk this one.
Exactly.
This is gonna just fly off the shelf, so let's put the Stryper in here.
No store that sells CDs is gonna carry this Stryper record.
It's just not gonna happen.
What's funny is you can literally buy this album on walmart.com.
Yeah.
Oh yeah, but you know you can't get that?
You can't get the record day release of Goddamn Evil.
You can't get the, and this isn't a joke, the limited edition yellow vinyl there, you can't get the limited edition gold vinyl there, and you can't get the limited edition silver vinyl there either.
You have to go to three separate web stores to get each of those limited pressings, which is pretty fancy marketing on Striper's behalf.
My dad told me to do that.
Because now I gotta buy them all.
And you can't use bots.
Nope.
You gotta actually sleep on our sites.
That's one poor customer.
My dad did it, dude.
It's tight.
Your dad's pretty web-savvy, right?
Well, I mean, for this shit, yeah.
He's like a hype beast for Striper?
Yeah.
Glenn Carl Campbell says, they'll do fine without Walmart.
Just shows the political bias, which I think is hilarious because, I mean, Walmart is like a political entity because they're a corporation and a heavily lobbied corporation, so.
Yeah, not wrong, but it's just ironic to me because, like... I mean, this isn't what shows their political bias.
Exactly, yeah, like... No.
They're very Christian, from what I understand.
I don't fucking know.
And good Christians, too.
Yeah, good tax-dodging Christians.
Terry Villamer says... I mean, churches don't have to pay taxes.
Right.
Dude, what if Walmart had a church built into all their Walmarts?
I think that's why they don't pay taxes, because they are technically a church.
What if Striper only started performing on Sundays and calling themselves a church?
Then they don't have to pay taxes.
That's yeah, that's smart.
Yeah, then they can pocket all that money They made off that album, but then they also can't make political statements, too.
So that's that's true Oh, they're not they're just making real statements like goddamn evil.
There's ways around this shit loopholes and political jargon whatnot Terry Villamer says they can't sell this album question mark but they will I said question mark but they will let any piece of trash shop there they are fucked which is just like What the hell?
Like, I imagine my dad who, um, you know, growing up, we shopped only at Walmart.
If I was able to get new clothes, he took me to Walmart.
Because he was so cheap.
But I mean, he bought himself Levi's and all kinds of shit like that.
But I imagine my dad saying this, like, they'll let any piece of trash out there.
They're fucked.
But like...
My dad's so cheap, he'll go there for a deal.
Like, I don't know.
That's just who I see.
Also, what the fuck is option B?
Yeah.
I was at Target the other day and this young man walked up in a do-rag and they made him take it off.
Yeah.
No colors in there.
They actually called the cops and had him escorted out of there.
It's a gangbang-free zone at Target.
What is the...
What is this logic?
I don't understand.
They will let any piece of trash shop there, but they won't sell a great album from a trashy-ass fucking band from the 80s.
I mean, I did meet a guy.
His name was... He was a young kid with purple dreadlocks, a young white kid, and his name was Young Trash.
And he was trying to sell me his CD.
And they let him sell his CD.
Why do...
I mean, like, literally every store has to let every customer shop there.
Yeah, it's what America is about.
It's a huge part of that.
I don't think they let him sell his CDs out of the trunk of his car, though, because they just bought the security probably didn't see him.
Target, they get all the POC out of it.
Oh, no, you missed the part where Young Trash is a young, white, sell-out rapper.
I didn't say that on purpose.
I was concentrating on my having to pee really bad.
One for each inch.
Definitely.
Yeah, dude.
Limp.
No, yeah, like, they will let any piece of trash shop there, but they won't sell the Striper album?
Like, this is like, yo, that Zales Diamond place?
They'll let any piece of trash shop there, but they won't sell me a Cinnabon.
Well, I mean, I go to only exclusive clubs like Costco, where I can get my diamonds and my CDs and my books.
It's because Costco is a principled organization that will sell you literally anything and only let members in.
That's true.
But that's why I go there.
I go there for the quality.
Yeah.
High-quality shit.
I go there specifically to, like, make sure nobody steals any Costco valor.
Like, I make sure everybody's a card-carrying Costco member, nobody's a pretender to the throne of Costco.
Nobody's using their parents' card.
I do citizen's arrests on the floor of Costco.
Excuse me, you're splitting your ticket?
Do you have two memberships?
Do you have two memberships?
Out of all the people in the world, there has to be someone that does that.
There has to.
Oh, I'm sure.
I'm sure somebody is doing the hard work there.
What you really want to be doing, but you can't.
Rob Wood says, If you're going to use a name that is going to be controversial, then don't be complaining that you created the controversy.
I sure don't want my kid coming up to me and asking me if he could get the goddamn Evil album.
Could you hear the pastor asking everyone to check out your new album from the pulpit?
There's some great Christian music out there just the other day.
Oh, this is like a quote like the pastor saying it There's some great Christian music out there just the other day.
I picked up the goddamn evil album at Walmart, which is funny like Can you imagine your kid coming up to you and saying, you know, they want that chocolate starfish and hot dog flavored album water I Yeah, it's never gonna sell.
Favorite album.
We all do know that that was the demise of The Biscuit.
It's a similar thing.
It's a similar tactic to sell albums.
I just feel bad, though, that this guy's priest has, like, pastor has no charisma.
I don't know any leader of Omega Churches would deliver it that way.
There's some great Christian music out there.
Yeah.
It's like, they would deliver that guy to me, it was so good.
Maybe you should check out a more charismatic church, maybe you'd understand.
You know, I bet if that Slayer album was called God Loves Us All, they wouldn't sell it at Walmart.
I just think it's so funny that Rob Wood's getting all in a fit about the controversial name, God Damn Evil.
I think he's right.
I think that this is like a self-inflicted wound, and probably not even a wound because nobody fucking buys CDs anymore at all.
People stream it more now because of this.
Yeah that's what I'm saying like this is a manufactured crisis like it's and it's probably a good idea it's probably gonna work.
Yeah and like because we were never I no one cared they weren't gonna sell any albums anyways.
Like, you have to have an album that's good enough for someone to carry it for it to be sold, or have the prospect of being good enough.
Like, no one's going to care about this.
You have to be Adele to be carried at Walmart.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
You have to be Adele or like 20 different artists on a Now That's What I Call Music compilation.
True.
They're all getting that Walmart money on that record.
Archie Schultz, and I'm taught, you know, I hear Archie's, I read Archie's comment, and I just hear my dad again.
I've seen some negative responses on this page concerning the new Stryper album, and as a practicing Christian, it bothers me that so many cannot see the context in which the title is meant to convey.
I've been a fan of Stryper since the beginning, and I will continue to listen to them and support them.
Whether you listen to GDE or not does not matter at all to me.
If you love good metal, then give it a listen.
If not, then you are losing out!
My opinion, that's all!
And then, like, you know, the canon forward-facing peace sign at you, you know.
From my dad.
My dad's not this verbose or articulate, and he's not Christian, but he's like, yeah, you're losing out on this good rock!
Really good metal.
I think that under Trump, the GDE is gonna do great, whether it's goddamn evil or gross domestic exports.
I think we're just in for a lot of wins, folks.
Our wins will not be low.
Damn!
They will be high.
Fuck, dude.
Yeah.
Their T is low, our wins are higher.
Alright, yeah, that's it for the episode.
