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 they go to the desert.
Follow their environmental steps.
Stay tuned.
I'm Alexander Edward.
I'm Mt.
Matt.
And I'm Tony Boswell.
And we are Minion Death Cult.
Well, I'm talking about a Minion Death Cult.
Minion Death Cult, oh yeah.
The world is ending.
Cops are responsible.
We're documenting it.
Usually they're responsible.
And today we got a couple topics for you folks.
The first one being another unarmed black child, a black minor being shot, unarmed, by a cop, three times in the back, uh, Antoine Rose.
So, uh, we'll be going over that, uh, which obviously sucks.
It's a fucking epidemic in this country.
Um, and then we'll be talking again about immigration, tangentially, uh, because we'll be covering, uh, our gorgeous, Sarah Huckabee Sanders getting ruthlessly denied from a meal at the Red Hen.
It's Tony's bae.
You know?
You guys know what really happened, right?
What?
That's like our spot.
Like that's where me and her go.
And they were just really upset that she would come in there with like her family.
And not you.
That's... That's kind of... It's in poor taste.
It's in poor taste.
Yeah, so... That's pretty fucked up.
The group text was lit.
So this first topic, just go over kind of what we know about the subject so far.
This happened in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
I believe it was three people, including Antoine Rose, were driving a car that looked similar to another car that had been involved in a drive-by shooting.
Cops stopped Antoine's car, the car that Antoine was in, And while they were arresting the driver, uh, Antoine ran for it and a brand new cop, well I guess he wasn't a brand new cop, but he was brand new to this force, to the East Pittsburgh Police Force, uh, shot him three times in the back as he ran away.
Crazy.
Killed him.
Uh, terrible shit.
17 year old boy.
Handsome as can be.
Unarmed.
A lot of life to live.
The kid was a skateboarder.
I don't know if you're going to drop that later, but he shared that post with us, Tony.
His local skate park posted about in remembrance of him.
17 year old kid.
Young.
Just fucking sucks.
Yeah, it's the same story over and over again.
You keep on wondering why these kids are running away from the police officers and they don't take a second to realize that because when they're faced with that, that might be their best chance for survival.
Because you don't have to run to get shot by them.
No, absolutely not.
Philando Castile, Tamir Rice, plenty of other people shot by the cops for not running.
There was some positive reactions to this, terrible news, you know, there was a lot of calls just for Jailing this cop for, you know, obviously kicking him off the force.
Anybody who's actually seen the video, because there's a video of it happening.
There's a video of him running, clear as day, being shot from the balcony, from like an apartment window, I think.
And you can see him run and then get shot right as he crosses the building line of another building.
And then you can hear the camera person's neighbor while the camera person and somebody else are asking why he got shot.
Why did they shoot him?
He was just running.
You can hear that person's neighbor say, fuck that n-word.
You can hear that at the very end of the video.
Which pretty much sums up the negative response.
To this incident.
Simply, fuck that person.
For being who he is.
As usual on this show, we're gonna go through the negative responses.
A lot of just the same shit over and over.
Why did he run?
He must have been guilty if he ran.
Why were there guns in the car that the cops found later?
Possibly because Pittsburgh is an open carry state?
Maybe?
Possibly because it's legal to carry firearms?
Sorry, Pittsburgh's not a state.
Pennsylvania?
People were pointing to the firearms, to the, I believe it was two handguns they were covered from the back of the car as proof that they committed a drive-by.
The driver was released.
The driver that they did arrest was released later.
I don't think they usually do that to somebody.
who's uh a murder suspect or not murder because the the other party in this drive-by situation didn't actually die but the fact that he was released is a big i wouldn't call it a red flag but it's a big indicator that they got the wrong car yeah it is it's a huge tell there's an interesting thing that happened when um The cops realize they really stepped in it.
The way that they act is so strange.
Not to go back to this duo every time this topic comes up, but I'll never forget pulling up on my dad, seeing him on the curb, and they bought him a Gatorade.
And cops don't buy people Gatorades.
Cops do not buy large black men Gatorades that you just pull over.
They just don't do that.
They don't just let some kid out.
They'll find something to get him on, but they just don't want to get in more shit.
Well, you can tell also by the statement that the police department released about how awful they felt about the death of Antoine.
You know, they didn't release any previous mug shots, anything like that that they normally do in these instances.
So yeah, I think even they knew they fucked up.
We got a positive note to this story, a small positive note to the end of the story that we'll end on, but how about we wade into this bullshit here?
Goddamn, what's going on out there?
With July's coming up?
Oh yeah, that's right.
Esther Heath says, uh, okay, so I have an article here from Yahoo News.
I'm not going to read the article, but the Facebook post from Yahoo News says, uh, the 17-year-old Antoine Rose was shot in the back three times.
And then the headline on the link is, Pennsylvania officer shot killed unarmed 17-year-old who was fleeing at a traffic stop.
And I touched on it before but this officer was sworn in literally three hours before he shot Antoine and there's been some reporting that he was let go of his previous position on the
University of Pittsburgh police force for lying about his encounter with three other people who he accused of some stuff.
His story didn't match up.
They kicked him off that police department and he wound up here.
And then three hours later he killed this kid.
How wild is that?
They're like, oh, you weren't good enough for campus cops.
Come join our ranks.
Yeah, and he's like, before I could only shoot 18 and over because I was on a college campus.
Well, now I'm here out in public.
Esther Heath says, thanks Yahoo for contributing to the problem, and she didn't capitalize Yahoo as an own on Yahoo, I think.
Why can't these headlines more accurately reflect the issue?
And I should say again, the headline is, Pennsylvania officer shot, killed, unarmed 17-year-old who was flaying at a traffic stop.
She's right.
The headline should read, Pennsylvania officer shoots kid.
Why won't cops stop shooting black people?
She's right.
That's what she's going to say, right?
She's going to say she's more to the point?
I mean, I haven't read this at all.
I pulled it at random, but I assume so.
Yeah.
Because she's a human.
She's a human being.
Yeah, a nice one.
So here we go.
They should read, quote, Suspects in recent drive-by shooting fled on foot after being stopped by police.
Weapons located on scene.
Oh.
That sucks.
I mean, even then, so you killed a fleeing suspect?
I mean, that's accurate.
It doesn't make it any better.
Yeah, that's not the way it's supposed to go, you know?
So it should read, uh, Kid Had It Coming.
Yes.
Had to do it to him?
That's fucked.
Um, you know, like, I don't see cops too much on TV anymore, the show.
I don't have cable either, but I have plugged.
Might have something to do with it, because it definitely still exists.
There's other shows that compete with it now, too.
They must be having a hard time getting those, like, long, drawn out, you know, cool scenes when they're just fucking offing these kids so quickly.
You know, I just figured that was the correlation, but I guess it's not on cable anymore.
I don't know.
It turns out when you're shooting when they're running away, it's pretty anticlimactic.
The producer's like, we don't even have anything to blur!
We don't have even a face to blur, what are you thinking?
Look at the facts rather than, oh wait, our nation's law enforcement have tough jobs.
Okay.
Dirty jobs, more like.
Yeah, who's that guy?
What's his name again?
Mike Rowe.
Mike Rowe, fuckin' asshole.
Carpetbagging, fake, fuckin' working class motherfucker.
Asshole.
He should fuckin' be a cop for a day and get fucked over.
Somehow.
Oh, because that happens to cops on the job.
I don't know.
Maybe he'll get fucked over.
I've seen him risk his life before.
He might become a cop.
Uh, look at the facts rather than just an outcome.
I am sorry this young man lost his life.
Okay, doesn't seem like it.
And would not wish that on anyone.
But placing inflammatory headlines which don't capture the situation create a line of feed like below.
A line of feed?
Like what, like chicken feed?
It's like someone spilled the bag.
Right, and yeah, all you sheep are pecking at that chicken feed.
Because they'll eat anything.
Right.
Like goats.
Amazingly mixed metaphor.
That's awesome.
Yeah, no, I mean, this headline is totally accurate.
It describes the situation and just...
If maybe if Esther had a negative reaction to this headline, maybe it is because that's like your conscience, her conscience trying to claw its way to the surface and then being like crushed back down into her pit of a soul by this wall of text.
How many likes does it have though?
It's got a hefty amount.
It's got over a hundred likes.
Kiera Clements says, did the cop know he was unarmed?
Do you know he didn't turn towards the cop?
I mean, yeah, we do, because we watched the video.
They pulled the car over because it matched the description of the car used in the earlier shooting and had bullet holes in the car.
It had bullet holes in the car?
According to several sources, by which I mean Facebook comments, yeah, I had bullet holes in the car.
Part of the black experience in America is getting pulled over because a car looks just like yours happened to participate in a crime in the neighborhood.
Like, literally my first day driving a car about myself that happened.
First day.
I mean, granted, it was a 1967 Oldsmobile 98, and it literally had a rock holding the headline in.
And when you use a left blinker and turn left at the same time, the horn would honk the entire turn.
Yes, it did look like a car that was in a crime, but I wasn't.
I definitely got pulled over.
Tony's just making a left turn with a horn blaring and some old white dude is like, RAP IS GETTING SO OUT OF CONTROL!
Just air horn the whole time, calling the cops.
Uh, yeah, no.
The car looked poor.
The car looked like a poor person was driving it.
The car looked like it was from a black neighborhood.
So yeah, of course the cops pulled that car over.
What do you want them to do?
Hey, you know, they had bolt holes in the car.
You know, I'm sure they also had, like, some crack in there, too.
I'm sure, you know.
Crack in the windshield, crack in the car, yeah.
I'm sure they had a balaclava, you know.
I'm sure they were gearing up to go hit licks.
Just kidding.
I'm just pretending to be Chiara who fucking assumes things.
I pulled this guy over because I noticed he had bullet holes ridden down the side of his body.
This is obviously some guy who's into some nasty shit.
Sir, I pulled you over because you're bleeding from the mouth.
How many white people did you bite today?
What did you do to deserve that?
Len K. Oberdick, which is German for Ultra Dick, I think.
And if he was guilty, he should have stayed put and took it like a man.
Folks run when they are guilty of something.
So I love this comment because it's like, it just assumes, like, yeah, you deserve to be shot for running, but don't get me started on people who are actually guilty.
That's like the second take.
The second take is, oh, and let me tell you about actual criminals here for a second.
Yeah, of course, that kid got shot.
He should have taken it like Michael B. Jordan did in that one movie.
Oh god.
They all saw Black Panther.
It's cool.
I thought you were talking about fucking Fruitvale.
Yeah.
Nope, nope.
You literally weren't thinking about Fruitvale Station?
No, I was making a joke about Killmonger.
Oh my god.
Do you think of Fruitvale too?
Yeah, that's what I thought of.
Have you seen that before?
Yeah.
Holy fuck, so sad.
Um, no, Len, who is, um, this is the band that does Steal My Sunshine.
Oh, you could have made it, yeah.
Sorry.
Well, I could have done it better.
I'm sure I could have.
I could always do it better.
What would have been better?
No, Len, this guy's stealing my sunshine.
God damn it!
Like, you're gonna have a, what was your joke gonna be?
I did it, it was bad.
Yours is great.
This banter's fun too, but I like how Len used folks in there, like that's pretty, you know, that's a rough one.
Yeah.
Folks run when they're scared of, when they're guilty of something.
Oh, is folks gonna be the new N-word?
Well, it's one of them, it's a new canon N-word.
I thought it already was.
No, when you say folks when you're talking about like, you know people run.
I don't know.
It's a loaded ass thing to me Robert Griffiths says Personal thanks to the officer that risked his life to protect us Obey the law and this isn't an issue.
Okay Yeah, he risked his life because like I I don't know Antoine was like kicking up rocks at him like like it was a fucking Mario Kart game or something and Like he thought he was gonna do a equilibrium-style gun kata where he spun around in midair and started running in reverse and shooting at him.
Yeah, he thought that.
That's such a shitty sentiment.
Well, they still haven't tested his eyes for laser eyes.
Yeah, the, uh, the, uh, the fucking... God damn it, I'm so stoned.
What, what, like, fucked up fever dreams these cops have when they just, they, they see a, a young person running away from them and they're like, he has to be stopped.
Forever.
Yeah!
How fucked is that?
No shit.
He might, he might drive again.
He might, you know, it's like, what the fuck, dude?
Like... And it's all the time.
All the time.
If we don't stop him here and now, he might run again somewhere.
If we don't stop him now, he'll grow up to be a thug and a criminal.
So we gotta get him young.
It's easier when they're younger.
The thing is, is like, and I'm not saying you were saying this, but it's like when you're 17, you're already like a 30 year old felon to these people.
Like that doesn't even count as a kid anymore.
Yeah.
No, they don't feel mischildren.
No.
It's, it's, I mean, you guys are familiar with just like black, black man, black man syndrome.
Yeah.
Like the way every, every black, every black boy is a, is a black man.
Oh sure.
Is grown and like, it is, I mean, I've, I've experienced this like my own families where I didn't get some of the coddling that some of my other cousins got who are not black and it was very much like he'll be fine like he's fine he's he can fend for himself he's he's 17 he's gonna be okay like he can like he can go live on his own you know It happens in hospitals too, I'm sure you know this Tony.
It happens to women as well, like doctors and nurses have this like subconscious thing where they assume women can take more pain and they also assume black people can take more pain.
What the fuck?
Yeah, um...
Brian F says, How about the article start with the fact that two weapons were recovered from the vehicle and that the vehicle matched the description from an earlier shooting?
Sincerely, Independent, Progressive, but Honest Observer.
So this is a comment from the Yahoo News comment section, which is literally the worst place I've been so far doing this show.
I'm not exaggerating.
I've never gone to Stormfront for this show, but this comment section is worse than Breitbart.
Legit.
How about the article start with the fact that two weapons were recovered from the vehicle?
Like I said, this is...
Pennsylvania is like an open carry state.
Yeah.
You can easily get a gun permit.
Maybe that just shows you that there's something in this story for everybody to like get triggered by because you know as a progressive like you're gonna get triggered by firearms and so yeah firearms are automatically bad so like they were bad people because they had them.
It's funny when You know, when a white kid, you know, shoots up a school and has guns, lots of guns, the question is like, oh, something was off.
This kid just gets shot, happened to be around a gun earlier that day.
And it's like, oh, he must've had it coming.
It's the, the, the balance is so fucked.
Yeah, they were like, uh, they're gonna just, like, dust him for gun prints or something, you know?
I don't know.
They're gonna, like, see if he has gunpowder residue.
I mean, they will do that.
Yeah, of course.
But... Yeah, I don't know what the answer is here because this, like, this comment about, um... And like I said, the driver wasn't...
Like wasn't put in jail the driver was just released which again leads me to believe that these firearms were Possibly legally, you know belonged to these people in the car Like if they were unregistered or unmarked or unpermitted.
I don't think they would just assume the driver You know didn't have anything to do with them.
You know what I mean?
I but I What's the answer here, in terms of gun control?
Because, like, you could argue guns are dangerous, we should have stricter gun control measures, but then that doesn't mean that, like, those measures will be enforced against white people.
And if we arm ourselves on the left using the gun rights that we supposedly have, that doesn't mean that they're not going to be used against us anyway, you know, if they're found on our person in a totally legal way.
So it's just, you know, there's not really a solution when it comes to gun control.
Like, I don't believe gun control fixes this particular problem.
No, it doesn't.
Yeah, if a white person, you know, dies and has guns, they were just exercising their rights, but if a black person dies and has guns, they were like, you know, they were obviously using them to murder people.
Yeah, I fucking think, like, black people should have, they have, like, the fucking, the most need to carry guns, because they're the most fucking at risk of getting fucking hurt.
I heard, I was listening to, I think, Street Fighter or something, and they were talking, they had an awesome point, like, You know fucking a lady walking home at night like you know what I mean through some area like you know How risk is you know a woman of color you know?
Particularly black.
I don't know.
They're just at risk, and I think it's anybody should have fucking guns should be them Yeah, I think hot take it's just interesting the whole the whole thing is that I?
Think everyone feels like we should be able to have guns to defend ourselves from the things that ...are setting out to harm us.
But the thing is, is that... ...the people setting out to harm us are the fucking police.
Exactly.
It's the state itself.
We're helpless against it and we can't do anything against it because... ...they're, you know, they're the... ...this fucking idiot was... ...the judge during executioner for... ...somebody who was just scared and... That's fucked.
...who was just scared.
Horrible.
So Todd, remember we're in the Yahoo comments section here.
Must be my dad.
And I, you know, these comments that I'm gonna read have 250 likes, 759 likes, 314 likes, but the top comments were like all just fucking god-awful.
59 likes, 314 likes, but the top comments were like all just fucking god-awful.
They were like, "Oh, and I assume he had just gotten home from church." Or, oh, I'm sure they had just gotten ice cream and went to volunteer at the local homeless sh- Like, sarcastically alluding to the idea that, like, somebody killed by the cops could be a good person.
Right.
Like they must have been getting stoned or doing something, you know, not not contributing to society.
But not even that.
They're making fun.
They're making fun of like the idea that these are human beings with like, you know, positive qualities at all.
Todd says he was initially fleeing from a murder scene.
The headline is wrong.
Todd was fucking there.
It said 251 likes and you don't have to be there to know that it wasn't a murder scene you just have to read the article and say that they stopped the car and you also only have to read the article to know that there was no murder at all because the person was the person the victim of whatever drive-by actually happened was hospitalized and then released.
There wasn't a murder.
So just wrong twice in an extremely short, extremely pompous sentence.
I wonder if there's an odd, this is kind of a real question, I wonder if there's an interesting sense of guilt on the person who got shot in the actual drive-by.
Like that guy who, um...
What was the guy's name who was hopping backyards to get home?
That got killed by the cops?
I can't remember his name, I feel like shit, but... No, yeah, the guy who called the cops because he saw somebody running through backyards and absolutely regretted calling the cops.
Well, after the shooting and everything like that, it kind of makes me... Worries me to call 911, because, I mean, he could make another cop out here, or officer out here, and shoot somebody else.
You know, they've got to get more training in, you know what I mean?
It makes me hesitant about calling 9-1-1 again.
It really does.
Yeah, because I don't know who's going to get shot next time.
Can't even call the fucking police.
I mean, you shouldn't call the police.
You shouldn't call the police.
There's no point.
There's no point at all.
JJ says, this is a big brain take here.
JJ says, if we are taught no means no, why is it impossible for the 13% to be taught stop means stop?
13%?
I don't even know what that is.
So Antoine was...
Practically raping this cop by running away from him if you think about it The 13% I saw this referenced twice and it's probably like The 13% of police encounters that ends in a in a suspect being shot or something I'm assuming because the number 13% is pretty small That's still pretty big though
Well, I'm saying the number itself is small and they wouldn't be using it as propaganda if it involved, like, black crime or something like that.
It's probably meant to downplay the officer-involved shootings.
Thousands of black men killed, you know, they say 13%.
But it's already, like, been memed, like this 13% thing that I'm seeing, that I saw for the first time today, has obviously already been memed because they're just using shorthand for it.
Like, it's been memed in, you know, white supremacist circles that they can just throw out the number 13, not referring to the amendment, but instead referring to some weird racist statistic.
Sucks.
Hoops McCann says if this quote boy was the shooter of the car was involved was the shooter or the car was involved he is right where he belongs and the neighborhood is safer.
Fuck you forever.
That's a big if motherfucker.
Fuck you forever.
There's there's that's not how things work.
No.
I just love, like, if this kid is as bad as I think he is, then good riddance.
That's all it is.
It sucks, man.
And a boy, in quotes, referring back to the phenomenon that we just discussed about a 17-year-old black kid not being able to be a boy.
Fuck.
Steelerman says, Let me guess, something similar to the Skittles defense?
I don't know.
We've talked about this before, haven't we?
Which is, I think, a fine defense, right?
The Skittles defense is that he had Skittles on his hands?
Yeah.
And he still got shot?
The Skittles defense is, uh... Doesn't everyone know that, as black people, we just can't carry things at all?
Yeah, you can't have Arizona.
You can't have anything on a person.
Don't we know that?
And, like, I love the idea that having, like, this is all their fucking pig brain was able to pluck from memory about the situation.
Yeah, Skittles.
Was that Trayvon Martin was, like, just returning from a convenience store with Skittles and an iced tea in Arizona, I think.
Like, just because you have Skittles on you doesn't mean that you can't commit a crime or anything.
Like, it's just a really weird way to go with it.
This guy actually just like... The Skittles moment is what made Trayvon human to him.
He's like, he is like me.
I like Skittles too.
So he always forgets it.
He always remembers that, you know?
It's like they're trying to trick me.
Wait, I also like candy.
They're trying to trick me with this falsehood that black people consume food.
Yeah, this is weird.
Is he trying to be snarky or, like, what is he trying to go with here?
No, he's trying to go with what Tony said.
Okay.
Yeah, let me guess.
They're gonna use the belt defense.
Like, just because this kid wasn't sagging his pants, he's somehow an angel.
Yep.
Steeler, uh, Steeler Man.
You know, he's a eastern Pennsylvania kind of guy.
Eastern Pennsylvania, I'm pretty sure, is pretty I don't know.
Seems like the kind of place where you can shoot a black kid for running away from you three times in the back.
Yeah, so I think it's pretty bad.
Yeah, he also had a picture of Clint Eastwood as his profile.
So, uh, yeah.
Right on, Steelerman.
You can fuck off, dude.
Okay, let's finally talk about those two truckers, those two wholesome truckers.
Oh, this man is a large white man with a big beard, and his name is Bo.
He's probably in the KKK.
I bet you he's a racist.
I know this because that's what liberal media has taught me.
But I'm also socially aware enough to know that this man is also dressed just like a SoundCloud rapper of sorts, so he must be aware.
He's got his off-white vest on.
His, I guess, Carhartt arm.
Construction tech wear.
Yeah, construction tech.
Hello once again out here in the parkway still shut down and if you've been watching our coverage over the past several hours now you've seen we've talked to people who were part of the rally, we've talked to a police chief, we've talked to Isn't Bo Burnham supposed to be singing and rapping while he delivers this report?
Absolutely.
Isn't Bo Brigdahl supposed to be running away into the desert?
What's going on with the court martial?
It's like, wait.
He's gotta say some racist shit.
- There's a couple of those drivers that are with me right now, Gene and Robert.
Gene, what's going through your head as someone who's now stuck on this-- - It's like, wait, he's gonna say some racist shit. - Well, there's a lot of different things that are going through my head.
I guess the one thing is, why was this young man's life taken?
I mean, he's gone now.
I've seen the video.
You saw the video.
Had you seen it before tonight?
No.
I'd just come down from Upper PA.
No, I'd just seen it maybe a half hour ago.
The officer was wrong.
I don't know his history or how long he'd been on the force.
What I seen on that video, the officer was dead wrong.
And he took a life.
A life that shouldn't have been taken.
In my opinion.
And did you know that marijuana is rooted in anti-Mexican racism?
No.
You're from Arizona, you told me.
Yes sir, right.
So you could have technically stayed in your truck tonight and just looked at your phone or done whatever, gone to sleep, I don't know.
Could have been browsing U.S.
Americans pissed off right-wingers 3 on Facebook.
I wanted to know why this was going on, you know?
And I got to talking to a gentleman over here and I said, well, I'd like to see that video.
So he showed it to me.
And I just... I don't know.
You know, there's... Something's got to be done.
Because you can't have people Beard like ten times as long.
Do you figure, you know, people, one of the answers, accountability, whenever they're shooting like this, that sometimes a police officer is charged with, oh, most definitely.
Charged, like we would be charged.
Yeah.
Can I ask you a question?
Is that okay?
All right.
You were out here as well.
This is Robert, another guy who was driving one of the trucks.
Beard like 10 times as long.
ZZ Top.
Four and a half hours.
Yes.
You also got out and talked to some of the young ladies, some of the people who were protesting.
Yes.
Why'd you do that and what's going through your mind?
Same reason.
I mean, find out what was going on, what happened, and once you see the videos, they speak for themselves.
Sheep.
And it's just a shame.
Following a video they saw.
I don't know what was going through his mind, but it was an innocent life taken.
You saw Antoine Red Junior's name in the video.
You can see him running away from the car.
Well, that was my main question.
Why was he running?
That was my main question.
I had to slip that in.
He's kind of racist.
There was no reason to be shot.
Just sad.
No matter what he was doing, he didn't want to be shot.
So, you guys are here, you're listening, you're watching the video.
You are stuck here.
You've been stuck.
Well, the whole picture, yeah.
I'm good with it, man.
Hell yeah.
Hell yeah.
What if he's getting paid?
Probably.
Hell yeah.
I'm good with it, man.
You're good with it, man, yeah.
That rules.
I just want to say it's a pretty low bar that we've set for white people that when they acknowledge that somebody was wrongfully murdered by cops, we give them a pat on the back.
So, I want to say that before we start this topic, because this is something, just as a human being, it should be your automatic response.
No, Action 4 News was interviewing truckers who had been stopped for like three to four hours because of a protest in Antoine's name.
And so it's, you know, you see these two fairly grizzled white guys in like work clothes about to be interviewed by the news about their day getting disrupted.
Because of a protest over an unarmed black kid getting shot by the cops and you're like, okay Alright, I should do I even need to watch this?
But then no they have the basic response that anybody should have is like, you know that the reporter sets him up He's like you've been stuck in in traffic for four hours and and I assume you're frustrated, you know What's what's going through your mind right now?
And he's all well, I got a lot of things going through my mind.
The first of which is why did they kill him?
Yeah Which should be your first reaction to this obvious murder.
Execution, man.
So fucked.
That could be you one day, regardless of your skin color.
Of course, it's more likely to happen to somebody else if you're white.
But, no.
This is somebody with the authority to just murder you at a moment's notice.
And a lot of them take advantage of that.
So shoutout to these truckers.
Shoutout to these wholesome truckers.
Yeah, they're cool.
They're adorable.
You know?
But, uh, I mean, on that same note, yeah, shout out to them, uh, but definitely, like, kind of fuck Action News, because that's definitely why they did.
They went to this, they went to this, this protest about a young black man getting shot, and they were like, someone's gotta be mad here.
Who's mad?
Let's not talk to, like, all the people that are just plain mad for the right reasons.
They're gonna hope that these two white guys are mad for the wrong reasons.
Yeah, we need some drama.
And try to, like, stir that up.
But like when so when you hear the argument about how the media is was tearing us apart You're not wrong, but next time, you know, the media asks you a question that you think is trying to stir up the pot, uh, be a good human and just answer them with something loving like these people.
Well, I don't know, the media, uh, says- said that a- that a cop killed an unarmed minor, so that seems pretty, like, inflammatory and- and shit-stirring.
Like, they didn't have to report that, you know?
Yeah.
Yeah, they didn't have to phrase it that way, come on.
Trying to get me triggered?
Suspect.
I- I, um...
I've been like internally sort of grappling with the idea of shutting down highways and stuff like that as a means of protest just mainly because I see so much negative reaction to it on Facebook like I see so many comment sections where people are just like You know, I support your cause, but don't fuck up normal people's day, and this, that, and the other.
Fuck that shit.
And I'm not, like, I'm not grappling with it on a moral level.
Obviously, being late to work or whatever is a fucking minor convenience at worst.
And I certainly wouldn't be upset over the fact, you know, upset at getting stopped in traffic over the fact that somebody died.
But it's nice to see that these particular guys had a positive reaction and were actually informed of the situation because of this road stoppage, because of this protest.
Because they had never heard of it.
Somebody, you know, he got out of his truck and he was asked what was going on and they told him.
And then they showed him a video of it and he was like, holy shit, I didn't know about this.
This sucks.
So, probably not everybody's gonna have that reaction, but um... My dad would say, you know, Thug, probably, you know, this is... You know, they were... He would say what these people said.
Like, what Todd said.
That was my dad, I'm sure.
You know.
Your dad would, like, lower his Fury Road cowcatcher and plow right through everybody?
Oh... I wouldn't go that far, but... He definitely would say some whack shit, for sure.
By the way, if you guys are ever late to work, and you walk in and your boss is like, what's going on?
Why were you late?
You should be able to look at him and say, oh, well, they killed another black kid, so... So I was late to work.
They stopped the road, like they should.
Your boss should be like, oh, fuck, man, that sucks.
Take the day off.
Yeah, I think blocking the roads is a great way to stop things and make people notice, to be honest.
I think stirring up the pot, that's a great way to do it.
However you can get people's attention, I think, is probably a good idea.
That's direct fucking political action.
That's being direct and awesome, man.
I'm so lucky I don't fucking work at a goddamn restaurant anymore so I can fucking actually participate in some political action whenever I want to.
But we'll get into that a little later.
Let's move on to our second topic, which is Sarah Sanders getting booted out of a restaurant called The Red Hand.
Colonel Sarah Sanders, coming in.
Just by virtue of being Sarah Sanders, they were like, nope.
Which is cool, like finally small business owners just like pulling their weight, you know?
Finally they're doing reverse racism on white people and not letting them, at least some white people.
Just for the record, this has nothing to do with the race, this has nothing to do with being all person.
No, I know.
Just being a dipshit.
Sarah Sanders tweeted out, uh... Last night I was told by the owner of Red Hen in Lexington, Virginia to leave because I worked for, uh, at POTUS.
This is from her official press secretary account.
That's awesome.
Which now she's getting, like, I think sued over.
I was told to leave because I work for POTUS and I politely left.
Her actions, the business owners, say far more about her than about me.
I always do my best to treat people, including those I disagree with, respectfully and will continue to do so.
I love this, uh, you know, like, I was the bigger person, she tweeted out to her millions of followers.
They're like, yeah, we know.
We love you, Sarah.
It's like you, Tony.
No shade, no shade, just this happened.
I just want you guys to know about it, you know, but I'm fine.
You're not, you're okay with, you're like, so how do you feel about this, Tony?
Uh, I'm stoked on it.
I love it.
Okay.
Yeah, no rules.
Kick them all out of restaurants.
That's sweet.
I've been trying to get her to adopt a vegan lifestyle for a long time anyways.
So that's, you know, I, she doesn't even go in there.
Yeah, dude.
Like, start at restaurants, move up to gas stations.
Yeah.
None of that farm-to-table crap, you know?
None of that raised, wholesome steak.
You need to give her some room.
I meant we'll start by kicking them out of all the restaurants, and then we can move up to kicking them out of all the, like, I don't know, gas stations.
Yeah, I don't know where I was going.
Diana Tierney says about this topic on Facebook, Interesting how the employees called the owner as soon as they realized that Sanders was eating there.
It's almost like they knew it would be a problem with the, quote, boss.
Word must have gone out in that restaurant like it did in the FBI and Justice Department.
So good.
Messages about, quote, how they are going to do things.
You know those messages about how people are going to do things?
She's really painting a picture for us here.
And if they're using Signal, they can probably get away with not getting hacked.
They're in D.C., right?
Or Virginia?
Close to it.
So, easily, they have some technology.
They're probably just using the FBI network, I'm sure.
The waitstaff there.
All plugged right into that.
Oh yeah.
That's right, the FBI's bad guys, huh?
It was just a group text.
It was just like, hey, remember last week when you said that if fucking Sarah Sanders were ever coming here to kick her the fuck out, you'll never guess who's here?
Sarah motherfucking Sanders.
Can I kick her out?
That'd be hilarious.
And they wrote back, run it.
Run that shit back.
Yeah, letting, like, the waitstaff tell Sarah Sanders to leave was probably, like, given to them in exchange for their bonus that year.
That would be an amazing feeling.
I bet they'll get bonuses.
Red Hen's probably getting lots of cool new business from all sorts of anti-Trumpers.
Honestly, it's a good feeling when you get to tell someone they're not welcome at your establishment.
It's a good feeling looking someone in the eyes and just going like, cut, cut, next, out of here.
Fast food, soft drink, cup out of somebody's hand and told them to get the fuck out.
That's a good move.
So no refills.
Nope.
Oh yeah.
I did that.
I did the one-liner there.
That's a great story.
I love it so much.
I know the person who you did that to.
Yeah.
He sucks a lot.
Yeah, he's probably racist, probably would jail Mexican children if he had the opportunity.
So that's what I was going for with that action.
He's also a pedophile too.
Dang, I want that tea after the show.
Yeah, okay.
You already know.
I want that tea after the show.
Yeah.
Those employees, quote, voted on how to proceed because they were kowtowing to the owner's philosophy.
Sheep!
Man, I want some lamb.
We need some, like, ideological diversity in these restaurants so that this doesn't keep happening.
Yeah, exactly.
If we have a good mix of, like, both fascist and normal person, then, like, this probably won't happen going forward.
I mean, that sucks that that's what that phrase refers to typically, is shitheads trying to be like, we want our say too, you know, ideological diversity.
Oh, yeah.
Actually, I do think diversity breeds good ideas.
That's what I think.
That's the right way to say it.
I do love the whole ... because there are people out there that are fucking jerks, especially to wait staff and kitchen staff and people in the service industry, but she's just a jerk in everyday life.
And, so, I think that if you go into a restaurant and you do the thing where you're like, alright, so listen babe, I put four 20s on the ends of the table.
Oh my god.
If you do a good job, those stay there, but if you mess up, take one away.
Four 20s?
Every time you mess up.
You mean four $1 bills?
No, babe.
Four 20s, babe.
Cause then you know they're taking fucking three.
But I take the whole 20 back.
Listen, if my glass is empty, yoink.
If you're telling me you're going to give me an $80 tip at the end of the night and only take $120 away for every misstep, I'm probably going to do a couple just for fun.
I'm probably going to spill food on you just for fun and still get $60.
We'll see jokes on you because once I get to $80, I now take the next $20 out of my check.
That person can fuck off and leave.
Those people exist.
Yeah, they exist.
Yeah, I just like the idea that there was like an FBI, like just working the like anti-anti-FBI pro-Trump hysteria into this comment.
Because like you said, Matt, like, yeah, the FBI are bad guys, but not for like the right reason.
Yeah.
They're like bad guys because they're investigating like white collar crime and shit.
Yeah, no, they're good for doing that.
Um, but they've done a lot of other bad shit.
Like, the employees were like, uh... We're not gonna let Sarah Huckabee Sanders win this meal.
We're gonna stop her from successfully eating this meal.
I wanna know what that restaurant has to hide.
Did anyone go in the basement?
And they, you know, the crazy thing is they say they don't even have a basement.
It just sounds suspicious.
They got a pizza oven down there.
Uh, Cheryl...Sharon Cornell Keys... Okay.
...says, never mind asking Sarah to leave, she kicked innocent children out of her restaurant!
Yo, don't bring your fucking children to a restaurant anyway, so whatever.
Wait, no, I don't agree with that at all.
I like to be able to eat in public with my kids.
Okay.
Yeah, just don't bring a crying ass baby around, that shit's annoying to me.
I mean, there's levels.
See, Tony has a kid here, so I feel like his opinion's biased in that way.
I'm also spoiled.
I have a pretty cool kid who doesn't bug out.
Yeah, your daughter's cool as fuck, dude.
I wouldn't mind hanging out with her.
Like, Tony has skin in this game.
Matt and I don't have kids.
We're totally untied to the idea of children, so therefore we're able to make the most clear, rational decision about this thing.
We're not swayed by other human life, you know?
I do bet that her kids are like shitty though, and they were like, but no, no mom.
Mom, we're eating here because I love, you know I love the chicken strips here.
Chicken strips.
We're getting, mom, their fucking Dijon at Spaghetti Factory sucks dick, mom.
Yes.
No, you know- I want this stuff.
You know the shitty kids were like, they ordered like a cheese pizza at the Red Hen.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
Do you think they can eat pizza?
No, we don't have cheese pizza.
You have a fucking flour in the oven and cheese, right?
Figure it out.
Here's a tomato.
We'll make you a margarita pizza and we'll hold the fucking, uh, hold the basil because you don't like green shit because you're a little kid.
Have you ever had like a service industry thing where someone will say, no, no, you can do it cause I'll just pay you for it.
Uh, yeah, of course.
We don't actually have that.
That's like not an option.
Of course, dude.
Well, I'll just pay for it.
No, but that's not an option.
No, no, I'll pay for it though.
We don't have that.
Yeah.
You can make it.
I'll pay you for it.
I'll pay you for the supplies today.
I'll come back in a couple of days.
You have it delivered.
And then we'll have it.
Uh, yeah, no, that happened.
I worked at a fucking pizza place and like I would, I would, I was nice enough to say you can get, A fucking, you can get a margarita pizza for your kid, and no basil, and that's, we'll do that, okay?
But we're not gonna build you some fucking bullshit cheese pizza with shredded mozzarella and shit like that.
And the kids, some of the kids are still all weirded out because it's like dollops of mozzarella.
Right.
Well, that's kind of weird.
It looks like ice cream, but it's not.
It's bomb, dude.
Wait, you worked at a pizza place and you wouldn't do a cheese pizza?
I mean, we would, but it was just like- I'm mad at that.
No, we would, dude!
I'm not mad at that.
We did have a four cheese, though.
Alright, moving on.
I just love the idea of her crying over these children that didn't get to eat at one restaurant.
They didn't get tendies.
While their mother was literally, like, enabling and defending the interment of other children.
Yeah.
It's pretty cool stuff.
Well, that's different.
They're not letting those kids leave.
Oh, you're right.
They're putting those kids in cages.
They're inviting them.
They're forcefully inviting them to the jail.
We have a meme here.
This is from PCGoneWild aka GirlsGoneWild.
It's again, like, PC letters crossed out with the red circle and the cross, but the cross says GoneWild and just looks always very funny to me.
That account name is very telling, you know, of this culture here.
It is, yeah, and they posted a meme here with the different Chick-fil-A and Red Hen logos, which seems like an infringement on intellectual property.
But it's, on the left it goes, Chick-fil-A, and then underneath it says, serves anyone who walks through their doors.
On the right, it says, you know, the Red Hen, farm-to-table fine dining.
Underneath, refuses service to people associated with Trump.
I think the main reason they're so upset, these people, is because they weren't able to say thank you for your service to the Red Hen, which they just love saying.
That's their favorite thing to say, and they can't say it in this instance.
You weren't able to salute them?
And then underneath, so yeah, Chick-fil-A's bad, the Red Hen's good.
And then underneath it says... No, you got it backwards, dude.
Chick-fil-A's good.
You're right, yeah.
And then underneath there's like the continent, or the entirety of the United States outlined with an American flag fill.
And then it says, that's the difference between a Christian conservative business and a hateful liberal business.
Hashtag tolerance, you're doing it wrong.
Wait, dude.
Remember what Chick-fil-A did with the hating gays and donating to Prop 8?
No, they still let them eat at the restaurant.
They just, like, were against the idea of them getting legally married and tried to prevent them from doing that as a whole.
You need to die single for being gay, but at least you can enjoy, like, chicken.
Marriage fucking sucks anyway, though.
I don't know.
Whatever.
Hot take.
Chick-fil-A did nothing wrong.
The Red Hen, I mean, really needs to retrain their whole staff.
Rather than, you know, ask a prominent bigot to leave, you should, uh, be forced to say thank you after every sentence you say to them.
That'd be weird.
That'd be super awkward.
That's what they do at Chick-fil-A, right?
Uh, thank you for your service, they tell you.
No, they say- I think they say thank you after every sentence.
I've literally never been inside of a gym.
I don't think so, I don't think I've exper- Maybe I've experienced that?
Yeah, no, they have an over-the-top, like, thank you policy.
Oh, that really sucks.
Yeah, it's really funny.
You have to say it after, like, everything.
I think some kids probably bend the rule on it, but I think I recall- Do you have their names?
Corporate.
Fuck no, I'm not gonna call them out.
Those are my kids there.
But, fucking- That you're against in a restaurant, now all of a sudden you're for them.
It's interesting.
They can be in a restaurant as long as they're serving you and saying thank you.
Uh, I'm not against it.
Oh yeah, I am.
I forgot.
Alright, so yeah, uh, Tony here got some great comments.
One of the best parts about this is that this is not a very original name for a restaurant, The Red Hen.
There are lots of red hens out there and a lot of them are feeling the brunt of this because people were just looking at red hens and just leaving bad Yelp reviews right at the first ones.
Those are the greatest heroes of all.
Yeah, the real heroes.
The real ones dying on that cross just to own Sarah Sanders.
Any fucking Red Hen restaurant in the nation is being assaulted.
There were multiple of them posted things that were like, please we are not in the same area, we have the same name, we've never met Sarah Sanders, and we would never do that.
Right.
Which is why I left a bad review for them saying... The war.
Red Hen Omaha is pussy, yo.
Bunch of bootlickers.
Go there if you like to dine on some tongue or soul, but I realize both of those things are foods.
Parts of foods.
And delicious.
They're also actual foods.
Fuckin' knockoff-ass Red Hen.
Trying to take Red Hen's thing but be conservative, but they're not conservative.
Well, I just want nothing to do with it.
They're all gonna change their name.
Yeah.
Yeah, cause, uh, let's see.
Scott Ryan Pressler reviewed the actual Red Hen on, on, uh, Facebook.
On Facebook Reviews, where I get all my information on where to eat.
Facebook Reviews.
I go to some, I go to, like, smaller pages than, like, That Awful Sound's Facebook page, and they have, like, ten reviews, and I'm like, nobody has ever tried to do that for That Awful Sound.
And I've gotten some, some belligerent hate mail for That Awful Sound, even in Facebook Messenger.
It's just nobody has bothered leaving me a positive.
Or negative review on Facebook, because I think there's a specific demographic that does that.
Yeah.
Well, this guy is really sticking to him, voting with his clicks.
Scott Ryan Press Review, The Red Hen gave him a one star.
And it's just because their galaxy brain, they're woke.
The Red Hen is anti-woman and deeply misogynistic.
Okay, dude.
I reject the Redheads' attacks on mothers and will not be deported from this bigoted establishment.
That's so good.
He hit a lot of them in there.
You can tell he really cares about women.
See, what they're not talking about is how Sarah Sanders was actually breastfeeding her kid and that's why they asked her to leave.
And they're right.
You should be able to breastfeed wherever you want.
You love that, huh, Tony?
Yeah, I absolutely agree with that.
You should be able to breastfeed wherever you want.
No, I mean, you love Sarah Sanders' boob out.
um yeah because it's like nurturing and like loving you know because you have a crush on her body that too that's what i'm saying um yeah so no i love uh both anti-women and deeply misogynistic i like i like the deeply misogynistic because i feel like i've heard that phrase in like woke circles you know like like deeply racist or deep like People on the right usually don't talk like that.
They'll say things like, they're a cuck virtue signaler who wants black people to fuck their girlfriend.
They're trying to own the left by using our language, I believe.
Which is funny.
It was just a coincidence that there were no other women in that red hen.
It wasn't, like, misogynistic.
She just, by happenstance, happened to be the only woman in that.
I like to imagine, though, that maybe Scott did read some article that was titled, uh, mother kicked out of restaurant for trying to feed her children.
Like, that's it.
And then, yeah.
We'll get it to... Do you want to do that other take that's similar?
Yeah, do yours, yeah.
Wait, which one?
Oh, yeah.
Sorry, yeah.
Oh, shit.
We got another take.
It's the last one.
We got another take that's in line with this one.
Didn't I get that one?
I don't know.
I think so.
Oh, I was gonna say, did you get it too?
I mean, it was pretty far up there.
It was like, we both... Alex was like, fucking, I gotta go to jujitsu, and I gotta fucking go to... Not good podcasting.
I like it.
And then he's like, you guys gotta get on this fucking post and make sure you get the comments off here before this shit goes down.
And we got on it real quick.
You did it.
You got some comments.
You know, and we probably got... Your listeners are all very proud of you, Matt.
So what did Susan Olsen-Wall say?
Yeah, go.
Yeah.
Can I do it?
Yeah.
Alright.
Oh, here we go.
I gotta get close.
Level 4 TDS.
Trump Derangement Syndrome.
It is a sad, sad affliction.
Results in hyper hypocrisy, rationalizing intolerance, exposure of extreme ignorance, and reveals cowardice and lack of charter.
I don't know, maybe Sarah Sanders was trying to make them put charred on her chicken and they just didn't have any there and she was being irrational and got kicked out.
out that place had a lack of a char it or uh to char her chicken maybe you socialist pukes should recall the words of one of the most admired men in history judge people quote judge people by the content of the character not the color of their skin For those of you suffering from TDS, that means Sarah Sanders' beliefs, which differ from yours, are analogous to asking a person to leave because their skin color is different than yours.
Dear God!
That is crazy.
If Martin Luther King Jr.
had a restaurant, he would gladly serve the Klan.
Yeah, dude!
Like, the content of your character, like, that just means if you're, like, literally, like, aborting a baby inside the red.
Like, that's the only way your beliefs or actions inform the content of your character.
Like, what does Susan think the content of one's character refers to?
Whether or not they, you know, are a Trump supporter or not, probably.
Content of her character, maybe she's talking in, like, fangirl terms, and she's like, Sarah Huckabee Sanders is not a Mary Sue!
She's a well-fleshed-out character with a rich backstory and deserves to eat in this restaurant!
Yeah.
This is racist!
And once again, I want to say it was just a coincidence that Sarah Huckabee Sanders was the only white person in this restaurant.
It's all just a coincidence.
They were not being racist by kicking out the one white person in the restaurant.
No.
Yeah, no, it's racist.
This is them trying futilely to use the left's language to own them.
Real hard, dude.
When I say left, I mean everyone from the center to the left.
Yeah, we gotta say... Let's say Libs, right?
Libs is fun.
Yeah, Libs to the left, yeah.
Lib turds.
I love Lib turds.
That's more fun, yeah.
Okay, next comment here.
Oh, from Kathy Infinite?
Oh yeah.
Anifant?
Yeah, dude.
Kathy Anifant?
Kathy Antifont.
Who's from you?
This is me, but you can read it.
I have my own interpretation of it.
It's hard to read, man.
Alright, I'll read it.
Alright, you do it.
Kathy Anna Fan says, Sarah should the crap out of your juvenile ass, spelled A, money sign, money sign, of a boss for discrimination.
I think Sarah should like beat the crap out of your juvenile ass boss for discrimination?
Yeah.
But, you know, I picked this comment because Juvenile backed that ass up.
Yeah.
That's why.
Sarah should, like, exercise her First Amendment right by beating the shit out of this person.
Jesus fucking Christ.
All of this, we should obviously say, comes on the heels of the Supreme Court decision that allows restaurants to deny service, or any establishment to deny service to gay people based on their religious beliefs.
So like, we could try to own, you know, the right by using their own logic against them, but I just, I find the, to me personally, a more compelling argument is just like, No, Sarah Sanders is bad, so I shouldn't have to feed her.
I don't even need to refer to the Constitution for that.
I could just say, no, I don't want to give her food.
Like, I hope nobody gives her food.
And to be honest, in the service industry, people should be able to do that to anybody.
And if your employer doesn't back you on that, if you feel uncomfortable serving somebody and your employer doesn't back you on that, then fuck your employer.
Yeah for sure, because that's one way we can have controls by at least a shitty fucking small business you work for or whatever.
Okay, next comment.
Who got Janna?
He got the rest of these, Tony did.
Oh yeah.
Janna V. Bird.
This one's great.
Oh yeah.
Bold move to be depending on tips.
Like, they're saying, oh wow, this is not how you get tips.
This is not customer service.
This is not how you get tips.
I mean, look at those gamblers.
They gamble for a living, you know.
It's the same thing, you know.
Yeah, but exactly.
Because what I'm really thinking, she's saying, wow, that's pretty bold, like, to be living on tips.
Because, I mean, you never know.
It's not a steady thing.
It's not.
You got to, you know, you got to really You can't count on those tips.
Bold move to be living on less than the minimum wage.
Let's see if their strategy pans out.
Oh, no, they're dead by the age of 40.
Wait, why are you a waiter?
Don't you care about quality of life and being able to pay your bills?
This is just me being concerned for you.
Why are you choosing to live below the poverty line?
I don't understand.
Don't you have any self-respect?
You know how much we despise you as a working person, right?
Why would you do that to yourself?
I guess this is a good enough time as any to announce to the listeners that I completely quit the service industry.
Completely.
Forever.
I've been in it for like 10 years.
I never talked about that.
I don't fucking know, but I hate it.
I just quit this restaurant.
New fine dining, like they claim to be like, you know, they're trying to get a Michelin star there in our town.
Fucking... Oh, is that why they don't have any brown people working in the back?
Yeah, that's probably how they're gonna be able to get it.
Nah, I'm just kidding.
Michelin Star is not fucked up like- Michelin Company is not fucked up like that.
But- So yeah, they don't have any brown people working in the back.
But- Um.
No, I got my paycheck, finally.
And, uh, you know, I busted other restaurants before.
I fucking busted a way less expensive- way less expensive restaurant and got- I'd get, like, 60 bucks on a busy night, you know?
You know, 40 to 60.
I'd be like, alright, cool.
Let's go get some beers and I'll throw it in my fucking piggy bank or whatever.
I got my paycheck for three shifts to the tips for it.
$65.
Jesus.
$65 fucking dollars.
Because, you know, they try to dangle this, like, communal thing of, like, tip pooling in front of you.
Right.
Tip pooling is fucked up because, you know, if you read the laws, you know, I had this group message with the buzzers and everything and one of them One of the kids pulled up the law in California that states that as long as the managers aren't getting paid with money or whatever, you can take the tip money and put it back in the restaurant.
Right, that's a new law.
That's a new federal law that the owners have the right to take all the tips and distribute them as they see fit.
That's a new Trump-era law.
Yeah, no, I'm black market all the way now, baby.
I'm doing that black market weed shit now.
It's so fucked, it's that, uh... What's the word they use?
The small business tyrant?
Because, I mean, they did the same thing happen to me when I was working at that bar, that nice bar, Wolfskill in Riverside.
It's like a really nice bar and like... Similar network, I think.
Yeah, very similar network.
It's like you're like, you're like busting your ass and you're like working your ass off and I was making a quarter of the money that I was making when I was working in a shitty bar.
So crazy.
Because I'm supposed to take that like their prestige of working at this place as my payment.
Well, to be fair, I'm going to push back against you, Tony, a little bit.
I've been to Wolfskill and I've seen how they make drinks and it takes like 10 minutes to make just one drink, you know, because you got to like shake it for eight minutes and then stir it for two minutes and then add like the The crystal clear ice cube at the right moment, and you have to like present it on a fresh lotus flower to the customer.
So really, like, you're only making, you know, six drinks an hour, so I think that that might be fair.
Now I want to say, real quick though, like, uh, the reason why Willis Cube really does suck is because of people not tipping and a few other things, but yeah, people do need to, people need to tip services to people.
If you don't, fuck off.
Yeah, fuck off.
Go fuck yourself.
It's service industry.
They're serving you.
It's gnarly.
It's almost, I don't know, it's crazy, but... They don't owe you shit, but you do owe them a tip.
Some of my friends from that place probably listen to the show, and I just want to say everybody that works there is fucking fantastic.
I love that place a lot.
I bonded with people quicker than I've ever bonded with people at, like, a place like that, so... Tight.
Shout out that place.
Shout out to the waitstaff.
Yeah.
Uh, okay.
You got one more here, Tony.
Uh, Clay Wick.
Ooh.
This one's just great.
Jon Bro.
Everyone needs to fill a grocery sack of manure and dump it in the restaurant because its owner is a stinker.
This owner already stinks.
No one's going to notice the manure.
You may as well just throw it on in there.
What a fucked protest.
Can we all start jumping off sacks of manure to our local police departments?
And see how that works out?
Sounds cool.
That's like, I mean, A, this is, you know, the ingenious mind of the right.
Like, oh, Muslims, let's put like a pork chop on their doorstep.
You know, this is like their hyper literal imaginations coming to fruition.
But it's also like, let's, let's, Take a bunch of lollipops to the Red Hen and dump them through the door because their owner is a sucker.
Yeah, exactly.
You're opening up your shop for business.
You've just kicked out the press secretary for the President of the United States the previous day.
And there's like a bunch of marbles on the floor and you're like, what do these mean?
You walk in there and there's like slinkies all over and you're like, I don't know, I'm twisted?
I'm a twisted person?
I just got played?
I played myself?
You walk in and you see a nicely presented charcuterie board and a glass of wine.
It's like, you're nothing but a snack.
But what we're going to do... I guess I've been owned?
We're going to go ahead and we're going to said that Ren had a good amount of cocaine because they're woke.
And then can I read this comment from Michael?
Yeah, please.
Alright, Michael says... I forgot about this one.
Michael says, scumbags and bloodsucker populated Washington's swamp and surroundings.
Restaurant left ward.
Scumbags living from Democrat scumbag politicians and scumbags working for those Democrats.
Disgusting show of bigotry and hate from Washington's swamp.
G-D bless Sarah and President Trump.
MAGA!
Ooh yeah!
Scumbag fornicators.
I Pedophiles!
Jesse Ventura!
It just seems like a very serious comment.
It is pretty gnarly.
Not serious enough to take the Lord's name in vain though.
G-D.
No, that's G-D.
God damn bless Sarah and President Trump.
No, I've learned this that like... Oh, they won't say the Lord's name in vain?
Yeah, like it's actually... I've seen it a lot with like Jewish people.
And Mormon Church too, yeah.
Yeah, they just, you know, they can be good people while still being very religious, but it's just something that I've only recently become aware of.
My big, when I was a big Christian, a big Catholic boy, my big own for my buddies would be like, you know that calling something blasphemy that's not actually blasphemy is in turn blasphemy?
Yep, hell yeah.
Because you're not holding up the integrity of the term blasphemy.
Nice dude.
Can I dork?
Can I do you one better?
Please.
Possibly my favorite Christian philosopher is Soren Kierkegaard.
Fuck yeah, dude.
Who coined the term radical Christianity because his theory was that it's blasphemous to even try to prove the existence of God.
Yep, yep.
It's cool, dude.
Like God is self-evident and he doesn't fucking need you to get his back.
It's cool, dude.
Kierkegaard's tight.
I like Descartes, too, a lot.
Let's talk about philosophy.
Yeah, okay, so final segment we're we're at about an hour and 12 So Same segment actually, but just there was a post from the Facebook account for historic downtown Lexington, Virginia and this is like A cabal of small business tyrants who think they run downtown Lexington, Virginia, like there's an actual board or something like that.
And the, uh, the owner of this particular Red Hen restaurant is, I think, the director of that, like, board of small business fucks.
It goes, uh, we do not condone the actions of Stephanie Wilkinson, owner of the Red Hen restaurant and director of Main Street Lexington.
The negative impact and nasty backlash towards our little community is downright appalling.
Please do not condemn our town for one person's actions.
To the people, Mr. President Trump, and Secretary Sarah Sanders, we sincerely apologize for the poor behavior and decision of one person.
If you feel the need to express negative comments, please redirect them to Stephanie Wilkinson directly.
Thank you.
God.
I love their insistence on, like, this is just one person!
One person did this, and maybe one person shouldn't have this much power!
Oh wait, no, never mind, that's not what I meant.
Um, hmm.
Lexington's downtown is a thriving collection of shops and restaurants housed in restored buildings with brick sidewalks and old-fashioned lantern street lamps.
Oh, cool.
Who gives a shit?
It's a real big draw for me, personally.
I'm a big lantern guy.
Yeah, it's fucking sweet.
No, that's the lamest thing to talk about.
Like, oh, our town was built in 1808 and it's fucking gorgeous and beautiful.
It's like, eh, I don't care.
I mean, there can be cool buildings.
Yeah, architecture's cool.
I like it.
I just like the idea of the focus on the lantern.
Oh yeah, that's good.
Visit historic downtown Redlands, where on State Street we have these really cool green metal trash bins.
Yes, they are authentic rustics.
To serve our customers.
I don't know.
I see a correlation.
This is probably shitty, but I see a correlation between like green old town, downtown type towns like Monrovia, Pasadena.
No, Pasadena's alright.
Redlands, you know.
How are they correlated?
They're super right-wing, hella conservative run.
The boards are super conservative.
So you're saying old towns that focus on bygone eras are somehow racist.
Interesting.
Yeah, that's exactly what I'm trying to get at.
This fucking take is so soft.
Hell yeah.
The backlash is coming from Trump supporters.
They're making it sound like we are disrespecting your religion or something like that.
Listen, we didn't mean to offend your beliefs.
Please come back to us.
These other people who are celebrating this, they're the bad ones.
Please.
It's just so fucking lame.
They should have rode with it.
Or just not say anything, really.
Yeah, really.
I mean, kicking Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders out of your restaurant is like kicking the Metatron out of your bedroom when he tries to present the Word of God with you.
Metatron.
I'm trying to sleep, bro.
Hey.
Hey, I gotta be up early.
Just pop it into my dreams, man.
Yeah, that's fine.
It's just more efficient.
Just like, God can fucking come down as a bull.
Just admit, have it happen in my sleep.
Can we do this tomorrow at like 10? 30?
Marianne Ciorino says, Lexington will now be forever known as the liberal town that broke the conservatives back.
What?
They're wrong.
This person, they're all fucking crazy, dude.
How are they wrong and crazy?
Because they...
This is reading into it a little far, I think.
I agree.
The Red Hen is like the bus that Rosa Parks sat in.
The Red Hen is like that.
They took a stand like she sat.
Oh, man.
She's gonna do a sit-in.
Sarah's gonna go back and do a sit-in at the Red Hen.
I would not be shocked if people tried to do a sit-in at the Red Hen for the fucking press secretary of the United States government.
Um, we have, and also just like, once again, you have, you have three branches of government under conservative control.
Yeah.
And you just still can't stop getting owned at restaurants.
So like Civil War, maybe.
Yeah, fucking bring it.
Uh, we have had to listen to liberals bitch and moan and complain for almost two years now, and we've reached our boiling point.
Patriots will now start fighting back.
Our country is at stake.
This is dark, dude.
Our country kitchens are at stake.
And you fools are dangerous people.
Virginia should know better and should show better manners.
So you will get what you have coming.
Though I'm sure many wouldn't support what this restaurateur did, they also failed to stand up for our country at this time.
All this time.
You should have all walked out.
Dude.
I am press secretary.
I interred those children.
No, it was me!
I forcibly removed breastfeeding children from their mothers.
Fuck.
It's like a little Spartacus moment inside there.
I gotta go back a little bit though.
Our country fried steak isn't steak.
True.
That's a good one.
I fucking love country fried steak.
It's a fried piece of meat, dude.
Piece of beef.
What's not to like?
Tony?
Put gravy on it.
Any takes on country fried steak?
It's filthy and you guys make me sick.
Well that's a country fried take.
Yeah.
I'm sure many blah blah blah and that makes you treasonous traitors if you can stand up in this restaurant.
You will never be able to live this down.
Okay.
Liberals are very selfish people.
Yep.
Everyone knows that.
Never more evident than what you are experiencing now.
Country first.
America first.
All the rest is insignificant.
Yeah.
So like.
I just love that like.
Marianne?
Is that what her name is?
Uh, yeah.
I love that she's probably a boomer, calling liberals selfish, when fucking, and then shouting out this, like, country first, America first, because this person knows that, like, the only way their shit's getting protected is because this fucking, this country and the powers that be and all the fucking federal cops, police, military, everything, they just protect white capital.
And that's all, that's what these people just, they're just hoping for it to be protected.
Yeah.
Forever and ever.
These people, they wear shirts that say America First.
They wear those in public and they wear those because, like you said, it reinforces the fact that they get to wear those and not catch flack for it, right?
If you wear a shirt that says Black Lives Matter, you're being controversial somehow.
You're stirring the pot.
But if you're saying America First, you're protecting your right to keep on being white and have that level up.
Yeah, no.
Liberals are so selfish.
Also, this country is the best thing in the world, and me first.
America first, because I live here.
Preserve the patriarchy.
My partner said, all lives matter today, like, in a totally different context.
Like, she works in a hospital now, and she was like, well, all the lives matter here.
And I was just, she said, all lives matter.
And like, she didn't realize she had said it.
I was just like, I can't say that.
That's really funny.
She was like, just gotta be careful saying me too.
So you quit your job, you broke up with your girlfriend, you're a free man.
No!
I didn't break up with her, dude.
You didn't?
I thought you were an ally, dude.
One of the...
One of the biggest differences between the Black Lives Matter and the Me Too movement is that when people accidentally use the Black Lives Matter hashtag, less people get shot.
But when people accidentally use the Me Too hashtag, it's fine.
Fuck that guy anyways.
I'm with that.
I don't think you can overuse the Me Too right now.
Also, both Black Lives Matter and Me Too are both just the phrases in and of themselves.
Me Too is literally just saying, well I guess it's saying we've all experienced this.
A lot of us have experienced this, but take it on the face of it, just like that Me Too Like, all that phrase is saying, like disambiguated from its actual purpose and meaning, all it's saying is, hey, think about me also.
Like, you're already thinking about this other stuff, I just want to be there too.
Like, Black Lives Matter, hey, you're concerned with all this other life, hey, we also matter.
We just want a seat at the table.
Whereas literally America First is like everything else goes behind me.
Yeah, everything else goes behind me.
I feel like you can't you can't state that enough like what Black Lives Matter means because people just get it twisted all the fucking time man, so I appreciate it.
Final comment from Marion Fontaine says Hang in there, because this is not going to make sense to you, probably.
Okay, cool.
If you do not condone the actions of Stephanie Wilkinson, the restaurant owner, then you better not than her.
You ask the people who voted for our president and stand with our president not to condemn your town?
Are you so naive or stupid?
What?
I will not visit your town because of the actions you showing in not condoning her actions.
Huh?
Yep.
So like, the obvious thing here is, once you've read it like twice, the obvious thing here is she thinks like condone is a bad thing.
She thinks the word condone means condemn, even though she uses condemn later on in her own paragraph.
That's just what's going on here.
It's cool.
Severely confused person.
Hell yeah.
Whose profile was interesting to me, just the top half of their Facebook page.
Because the Facebook profile is a cat perched on a cat tree, much like my own.
And then the cover photo is like the image of a, I don't know, 2019 Porsche sports car.
Just a stock photo.
And then the bio, you know, you can enter like a bio on your Facebook now, which is weird.
Um, the bio says, there is nothing to know for the public.
Um, yeah.
So who knows?
Like, you know, that's funny.
Cause the, the pictures actually reflects, uh, Mirian bought that Porsche when it was, uh, when she was visiting the Hamptons.
So when she goes and travels to places, she makes a hefty purchase.
It contributes to the infrastructure of said location.
And she was going to make some nice purchases at the Lexington, Virginia downtown.
Like a rare cat.
I think this is like a Russian profile.
Like, you know, just trying to mix it up.
Fake profile.
Yeah, yeah, it's the Russians, dude, for sure.
Oh, always Russia.
Yeah, I just like there is nothing to know for the public.
Don't even dare trying to glean any useful information from this Facebook profile.
And yeah, speaking of the purchases thing, just like the so many takes were like, I was planning a vacation to, where is it?
Lexington, Virginia, and now I am no longer gonna go, and you just lost my business.
That was definitely gonna happen.
You lost my like $3,000 I was gonna spend in the fucking town.
It was, I was deciding between Lexington, Virginia, and like Hartford, Connecticut, and Jacksonville, Florida, and you just got your name pulled from the hat.
Guess who's going to Kansas City, Kansas now?
Get some fucking barbecue.
That's what you're going there for, huh Tony?
I'm going to just land and get in touch with the people, man.
He's going to eat barbecue.
I want to go to Wilmington to visit the Screen Door Factory.
Ah, shit.
This thing was off the whole time.
No, I'm just kidding.
Alright, that's the episode.
Thanks for listening, folks.
We do this episode twice.
We do this show twice a week.
For Patreon subscribers, $3.11 gets you access to double the episodes.
It gets you access to all of our past episodes, which usually revolve around something topical, but are still very interesting in and of themselves, if I do say so myself.
I feel personally like we do a great job on these Patreon episodes and you're missing out if you don't subscribe.
If you enjoy the show, you'll be able to enjoy twice as much content with a subscription to patreon.com slash MinionDeathCult.
You know who's not missing out now?
Who's that?
Freaking, the homie William Donahue.
He fucking contributed 311.
You figured out how to do the code thing and put it in your thing, dude.
Thank you.
Well, we don't know.
We'll know Thursday or Friday whether William's able to do that.
Yeah, I'll hit you up and see if you, like, did it or not.
Also, shout out to Christian.
Donating, subscribing at a very chill 420.
Very chill.
Damn, is that my homie, Ian?
Christian Brooks?
That might be.
I gotta fucking hit him up.
I hope so.
That might be the homie.
No, I mean, he has an... I'll figure it out.
Yeah, you don't have to donate at 420, although it's like super chill.
It's probably the only number that's more chill than 311.
And a big, big thank you to Teresa Volk, who donated a substantial amount to the Immigrant Defenders Law Center.
Through the Patreon because this month we are donating every cent we make from the Patreon to the Immigrant Defenders Law Center who help out these migrant families that have been ruthlessly arrested and jailed by the Trump administration and maybe had their kids ripped away from them.
It takes so much time and effort just for a family to find their child once they've been allowed to come into contact with them again.
So any sort of immigrant law center you can donate to.
I know R.A.I.C.E.S.
I can't remember how that's spelled.
I think it's R.A.I.C.E.S.
He's doing work directly in Texas.
Immigrant Defenders is in Southern California.
All the Patreon proceeds from this month are going to them.
You can also donate directly to them if you just don't want bonus content, which is a weird thing.
But you can donate directly to them at, uh, I-M-M-D-E-F, so MDEF for Immigrant Defenders, mdef.org slash donate.
So you can donate directly to them there, you can donate through the Patreon and get access to all this bonus material.
If you like the show, please rate and review.
We appreciate all the five-star ratings we've got so far.
We can always use more.
It helps people find the show.
It shows that we're a good show.
It shows that we're good boys doing good stuff on here.
So we would appreciate if you could support that way.
And we're past the hundred bucks a month on Patreon.
Guess what?
So we're making those t-shirts.
Yeah, we're gonna do it now.
We're gonna do it and we'll have information on that shortly.
So look out for that and once again, thank you for listening to Minion Death Cult.
