We're Back! A Podcast Story This week we cover the police department who use rehired Tamir Rice's killer, because "Everyone deserves a second chance," which is of course an insane thing to say as an agent of the penal system. Also, model/actress Emily Ratajkowski protests Judge Kavanaugh's confirmation to the Supreme Court, and is met with dozens of vile r*pe jokes on her facebook page. Finally, on a lighter note, Hyatt Regency ban hate groups from holding conventions at their hotels, and millions of conservative organizations ears perk up.

So there's these, those plastic things that are behind the cassette on the rear wheel.
Okay.
Those are called pie plates.
And like only, like you don't rock those.
So it's a... You don't what?
You don't rock those.
Okay.
Pie plates aren't pro, bro.
You did it good.
I did good, yeah.
Maybe you're doing it too good.
Maybe you need a different warmup now.
Yeah.
Well, I'm just really... I don't ever muck up my words on the show, so I always speak very clearly and eloquently.
Yeah, I mean... That's the number one review, right?
So far, so good.
Tony's so well-spoken.
I mean, ironically, you're being extremely well-spoken as you do this ironic joke.
It's not ironic.
I'm trying very hard.
The liberals are destroying California and conservative humor gone awry... Conservative humor gone awry is going to fascist-fornia 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 For the fifth time I'm Okay, take five.
We've done this entire episode five times, and it's just been okay all five times.
I think we can get a really good one this time.
I believe in us.
I think fifth time's the charm.
This is the fifth element.
Which was, by all rights, a complete success.
I'm Alexander Edward.
And I'm Tony Boswell.
And this is Minion Death Cult, which is a different way than I normally say that.
The world is ending.
Hyatt Regency Hotel Chain is responsible.
We're documenting it.
So welcome back to us from you, the listener.
We were, of course, on vacation for two weeks.
Thank you for remembering that the show exists.
Yeah, appreciate that.
Appreciate it.
I, of course, took a two-week eat, pray, love vacation up the Pacific Northwest, finding myself and various lovers along the way.
Various younger lovers.
Is that the premise?
Probably.
Yeah, but it's less creepy because she's like 40 or something, you know?
Yeah, so like younger lovers in my case would be like a teenager.
You're not that young.
There's a lot of youth underneath us.
There's a good decade of... Okay, not decade.
There's a good amount of youth.
Yeah, I got room to spread out.
Good.
Yeah, so vacation was cool.
I went...
Took a very long road trip up through Santa Cruz and Oakland and all of Oregon, all the way up to Seattle.
It was really good.
Nice to get away from my soul-crushing career outdoors in the Southern California heat.
I particularly enjoyed the rain and having to occasionally wear a jacket.
That's a nice feature of that climate.
Cool stuff I got to do was I got to skate in Santa Cruz.
That was tight.
I got to visit the Sub Pop Studios, or the Sub Pop offices, which are not normally open to the public.
So thank you very much to a person who does not listen to this show.
I got to go to 924 Gilman for the first time, and Green Day was not playing.
Shit!
They are allowed to play there again, I think.
I think the band was lifted.
But yeah, they didn't play that night, but that's okay.
And I got to see KEXP, this radio station in Seattle.
Real nerd shit.
And then immediately when I got home, I found Cat Tony with a blocked urethra, peeing small amounts of blood.
And so I had to take him to the animal hospital and put him overnight and now he's the more expensive cat.
My other cat was very expensive and Tony had some catching up to do.
You hear that Tony?
Your stock is moving up.
And then on the way to picking up Tony, I ran into a flat tire.
That's brutal.
And then today I stepped on a rusty nail and like a quarter inch of it went into the heel of my foot.
Is that?
I didn't know that.
Oh, fuck.
So it's been great in the three days I've been home.
And that's what you get for taking a break from the show.
Yeah, it's like time sort of stood still while I was on vacation and then collapsed the second I set foot onto my own property again.
Yeah.
So that was cool.
How was your vacation, Tony?
Um, it wasn't so much a vacation as much as it was like a brutal retreat into the dark recesses of my soul and my heart and my mind.
It's just nice to get away.
It was good.
It was good though.
Um, going through what we like to call a transitionary period in my life.
Um, and, uh, it's, it's good that we had this little break because I think if we were recording during that, I would've just been a real, uh, been a real wet blanket.
Yeah, um, not to, like, uh...
Discount what you're saying, but I mean on top of your you're in my depression We also had the whole judge Kavanaugh thing and it's It's probably selfish of me to say But I'm kind of glad we weren't doing the show during the Kavanaugh hearings and his Subsequent you know acceptance onto the Supreme Court
Because I don't know how we would have covered that to make it less crushing or how we could have said anything better than the, you know, hundreds of women were saying online and on my personal Facebook feed.
Yeah, in our conversations.
I think if it was any time for two dudes to shut the fuck up, it might have been these past two weeks.
Yeah, I don't, you know, it's bad.
It sucks.
I knew this was gonna happen.
The second that Trump was elected, I was like, okay, well there goes a ton of shit.
For the next two years, like, we're not even, like, who knows if Ruth Bader Ginsburg lasts Trump's term without retiring or passing.
Like, That's just the fact of a Trump presidency.
I'm not trying to, like, well actually anybody or say, you know, what did you expect?
But it's just like, that's the reality of having this motherfucker in the presidency.
Like, he's gonna do all this stuff for at least four years.
At least, you know.
But, there is like, I wouldn't call it a silver lining, but there is like a A reality next to this reality.
So there's the reality of Trump being president, having control of the executive branch, the judiciary being mostly male, white, conservative.
The other reality is that the Supreme Court has always been a capitalist, bourgeois institution that Only supports the will of the people when the will, when the people force them to through mass movements.
They have to march by the thousands to their doorstep.
Yeah.
Just strike civil disobediences of other kinds.
And there's a, there's a good article.
You've probably read it, but if not, we'll post it to the Facebook page.
There's a good piece written by Howard Zinn, the historian.
political philosopher Howard Zinn.
In the name of the title you can look it up for yourself if you don't want to go to the Facebook page.
It's called Don't Despair About the Supreme Court and it's something he wrote in 2005 when sort of there was another conservative party in power and he just goes mentions that The Supreme Court traditionally has not protected the rights of women, minorities, workers.
Those groups of people have had to band together.
In order to force change.
I'll just read a paragraph here.
The rights of working people, of women, of black people, have not depended on the decisions of the courts.
Like the other branches of the political system, the courts have recognized these rights only after citizens have engaged in direct action powerful enough to win these rights for themselves.
And there's plenty of instances and references in this piece to demonstrate this case and also to demonstrate that The Constitution, this document that the Supreme Court supposedly interprets rigorously and loyally, it's just as malleable as the Bible is the instance that Howard Zinn uses.
Open to interpretation, open to opportunism, open to kowtowing to public pressure when public pressure is applied.
So the Supreme Court, it is a obviously a very powerful institution, but it's not, doesn't have the final say.
You know, we have the final say.
And that speaks to, don't stop this.
Don't stop posting things in support of women just because this is out of the news.
Don't stop calling out people for being cretins and creeps and predators.
Just because this is gonna go out on the news, we have to continue these things.
Yeah.
It's about continuing it.
It's about not forgetting about these things.
These motherfuckers are still wearing shirts they don't forget.
Like, we gotta keep doing this.
We gotta continue to be active, to get out there, to talk about it, to direct actions.
You know, things like, I mean, voting is gonna be huge.
November is gonna be huge for us.
Unfortunately, every single time I'm optimistic about it, I do see the statistics where at the end of the day, 18 to 29 is still the lowest showing.
Age range in the voting booth, you know?
In the polls.
It's like, we gotta get out there.
We gotta do these things.
Voting is extremely important, but it's also like the least you could do.
Exactly, yeah.
That's the first step.
That's the basis, yeah.
Like, I would love to see a general strike.
Would be amazing.
That'd be awesome.
More marches akin to like the women's march that happened after the inauguration.
That stuff's going to be really important.
It's going to be really inspiring and it's going to put a lot of pressure on.
And when we do get, you know, if there is a blue wave, if Democrats do come into power, we have to pressure them.
Yeah, we can't stop.
No, we have to.
I mean, history has shown we have to constantly push even the supposed left party in this country to actually achieve progressive goals and not just hold the tide of fascism back.
Yeah, honestly, cutting back to some of the most rotten shit I've ever seen on this show, I don't know how we would have covered it.
The memes, the stuff that was meant to be jokes about Dr. Ford, I don't know how we could have repeated that stuff on the air.
And looked at ourselves in the mirror, you know?
No way, yeah.
Rotten, rotten shit.
And we have something from this episode that's tangentially related to that.
Final note, I wanted to thank the new Patreon subscribers we got.
So thank you so much to Nina, thank you to Julia, and thank you to Andrew.
Also thank you to Tyler.
And, um, this is also when we're going to announce we are no longer going to be doing Patreon episodes.
We're going to just be doing the show once a week on the main feed.
We realize this sucks for the people that are subscribed.
I guess we could have been extra shitty and only do Patreon episodes.
Yeah, flip the script on them.
Yeah, I just thought about that.
Maybe we should do that.
We might have a discussion after the show.
We'll see.
But if you're hearing this, you'll know the answer.
No, like for the same reason we had to take a two-week break.
It's not feasible, practically, for us to continue doing two episodes a week.
I know I personally was getting overwhelmed with the amount of work.
I do, because I work more than full time.
People probably heard me bitch about that more than enough, but I work like 50 hours a week.
And during peak season for us at UPS, it's going to be like 60 hours a week.
And that's coming up in a month or two.
So, um, yeah.
And like, I just, I need to, uh, do other stuff to stay sane.
I'm going to start doing music again.
Hell yeah.
In order for us to continue doing this show, make it good, and give you what you deserve, wading through this cesspool of gross internet stuff is pretty punishing.
So in order to keep on doing this, we need to find more time to take care of ourselves.
Yeah, engage in actual politics as well.
So, self-care, folks.
Do a little self-care.
And, you know, do some self-care while listening to our episodes.
I will, we will, however, be keeping the Patreon episodes open, available for listening for the current subscribers.
And we're still going to be doing the raffle to give away two free t-shirts to the current subscribers.
So don't unsubscribe yet.
You'll only be charged by like the 5th of next month.
So you can stay subscribed and unsubscribe before then.
But just make sure you get your name in that raffle that we'll be doing this week.
And if you want to stay subscribed to the Patreon and help support the show, we'd greatly appreciate that because it still does cost money to host these episodes and in the future we might do a one-off Patreon episode.
We might go back to doing the Patreon episodes after the peak season for me, or just when it fits better into our schedule.
Maybe some just, you know, some little bonus content.
We're not going to promise any full episodes anymore, but some bonus content, you know, is down the line.
And it sucks to have to stop doing them because the support has been cool and the money has also been cool.
Now, I'll tell you this much.
If enough of you guys join the Patreon, and we make enough money to quit our jobs... Oh, totally.
Yeah, two episodes a week, no problem.
That'd be fantastic.
Yeah, so spread the word about Mending Death Cult.
Get other people listening.
And who knows?
You might be supporting our lavish lifestyles.
You might keep Cat Tony alive.
Yeah.
Okay.
Finally, watch this shit on YouTube.
We now have more than 100 subscribers on YouTube!
We are official!
Amazing!
Go to YouTube.com slash MinionDeathCult.
What's that?
YouTube.com slash MinionDeathCult.
Yes!
Sounds good.
I just type it in sometimes.
Just to make sure it still works.
Yeah.
Make sure it wasn't a dream.
It's like the digital version of Pinch Me.
Exactly.
Yep.
Enter.
There it is.
Link me?
Yeah, okay.
So thank you so much to everybody who's subscribing on YouTube.
You can go ahead and watch this shit on YouTube if you want to see me, Tony, and Cat Tony.
There he is.
Beautiful, limp, Cat Tony.
Perfect little Cat Tony.
Aww, there you go back, there you go.
Okay, let's get into the show.
What do you say?
Let's do it.
Alright, so while we aren't really covering the bullshit that is the Supreme Court, we are covering the bullshit that is the American police state.
Oh, look at this.
Tamir Rice is killer, former police officer, now current police officer.
Rehired.
I'm reading here from WTOV News 9.
This is in Ohio.
Bel Air has added six new officers to the force.
One new hire is Timothy Lohman, the former Cleveland officer who shot and killed 12-year-old Tamir Rice in 2014.
It seems like so long ago, but not long ago at all.
No.
Yeah, because there's been so many deaths since.
A lot has happened since 2014.
That was very recent.
Yeah.
Also added is suspended Bethesda Police Chief Eric Smith.
Yep.
Just like scraping the bottom of the barrel here.
They hired six officers, two of which have like terrible pasts.
One's a legit murderer of children.
And one abuses his powers to... I didn't even see what he did, like, use the gateway they call it?
The search engine?
He used a database, yeah, for, like, private matters.
Yeah, probably look up his ex-wife or something.
Probably something shitty, yeah, look up his ex-wife.
Look up his, like, ex-wife's, like, new partner and, like, yeah, some bullshit.
His ex-wife is also a cop.
Um...
Yeah, so this was good news.
Hey, uh, the reason this happened was because dude wasn't charged with anything.
Anything.
Dude just got fired?
Yeah.
If even that, or did he quit?
I think, yeah, I think he like got put on permanent leave, basically.
They didn't even put fired on his thing.
Wow, permanent vacation.
That's not exactly, uh, It's different than I imagined it.
When I hear the phrase, permanent vacation for a killer cop, I'm thinking of something else.
Something like, you know, maybe in the sky.
It's wild.
I mean, they didn't even try.
They didn't even go through the motions.
They just didn't charge anything.
So, if you're not familiar with the death of Tamir Rice, what happened was, is he was a kid, and I'm saying this from memory, so excuse me if the details are slightly incorrect, but he was a 12-year-old kid, 12-year-old black kid, who had a BB gun at a park in his neighborhood.
Somebody called the cops on him.
So, the cops, this dude and his partner, drove onto the park, drove their squad car onto the park, Directly up to Tamir Rice like within five feet of him and Did he unbuckle his seat belt before he killed him?
I don't even know.
He like he fired his gun within like under a second of getting out of his car.
It was insanely fast, yeah.
Crazy, like how does that even follow police's bullshit protocol?
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
He didn't have time to say anything.
No!
No one had time to say anything.
Like everything about that whole thing is so gross.
Like somebody saw, just from the jump, somebody saw a kid, a 12 year old kid, playing with a BB gun and decided to call the police.
Yeah, hold on.
Let me look up to see whether Ohio is an open-carry state.
Oh, yeah it is.
It's legal to openly carry a gun in Ohio.
Not for some people, though.
You know, black men, which is how people see 12-year-old black boys.
Reminder, it was not an actual gun.
It was a BB gun.
yeah so just just murdered him just drove up onto him so he could kill him put himself in quote danger yep so that he could righteously murder a child and now he's a cop again so Put aside the fact, like, and this is white privilege here.
I'm not being ironic.
This is genuine white privilege.
Where I look at this, initially, instinctually, I look at this and be like, this is an outrage.
This is a killer cop.
He shouldn't have a second chance.
He shouldn't get to be a cop again.
He should be in prison.
And I take a step back and think, what must it be like to be a person of color in this community knowing now that he's a copycat?
It's not just the optics of it.
It's not just the injustice of it.
There's like a material danger here.
What happens now to the people in Bel Air who are, who do have open carry licenses, who just happen to be black, who are just exercising your rights?
Yeah.
You know, like, you better not go to the fucking wrong, you know, Dunkin Donuts.
Like, it's insane.
Can you imagine knowing you have the power to just like, oh, now I can call the cops on my neighbor and they can just be done.
Yeah, I mean, I think that's probably motivating a lot of these like Barbecue Becky These you know these instances of white people using the cops like it's customer service Totally get these get these folks out of my like line of sight listen.
They've been acting menacingly lately Yeah, it's fucking crazy With all these fucking Blue Lives Matter shirts I see with all these, you know, faux military garb we see with all these, you know, guys who I see ready to get in the shit.
You don't have any better candidates?
You know, I mean, I don't, I wish we just wouldn't hire any more cops myself, but like we don't have any more candidates.
You hired six and two of them are, I mean, they're all six are probably pieces of shit, but two are like historical pieces of shit.
One's a murderer of children.
One more time, murdered child.
Period.
I mean, I think what we need to take away from this is that that's not seen as doing a bad job.
Yeah.
That's maybe what they're looking for.
And we know this because we saw it so many times in response to this.
Just doing his job.
So from this article, if you're looking on YouTube, you're going to be shocked to see what the Bel Air Police Chief looks like, because he's a hefty white man with a handlebar mustache.
With a thin yard boss.
You're like, oh my god, that couldn't possibly be what the person who hired that killer cop looks like.
Yeah.
But no, it is.
Police chief.
Police chief Dick Flanagan.
Oh, that's cool.
I mean, at least you know that his people have been through some shit.
A name like Flanagan.
Maybe more empathetic to the plight.
Police Chief Cock O'Malley says he's not quitting on being a police officer.
So this is him talking about police officer Timothy Lohman.
He's not quitting on being a police officer.
So he's not a quitter, is what he's saying.
He's just somebody who was fired for gross negligence.
He's not quitting on being a police officer.
He made the decision in 2014 that's going to stay with him the rest of his life.
Real quick, real quick.
Didn't say bad decision.
Didn't say like terrible decision.
Didn't say life-changing decision.
Said decision.
That's going to stay with him for the rest of his life.
Yeah, well decisions are neither good nor bad.
It's like how you look at them.
He made the decision in 2014 that's going to stay with him the rest of his life.
Like anybody else, if you make a mistake, somebody's gotta give you a second chance.
Just like anybody else who makes a mistake gets a second chance.
Like 12-year-old boys who make the mistake of existing.
Like hundreds of thousands of people currently in our penal system.
Yep.
Somebody's just gotta give you a second chance.
They just gotta.
Give someone the opportunity.
This is like a great juxtaposition of sentences right here.
He made the decision that's gonna stay with him the rest of his life.
Like anybody else, if you make a mistake, somebody's gotta give you a second chance.
So how is that decision affecting the rest of his life if he's just given another job doing exactly the same thing?
That's not even like a repercussion.
That's not even a punishment.
You're back to business as usual.
So, I mean like, I think, I was thinking about that the whole rehire process, right?
So I got fired from Starbucks twice.
One time I got fired, I just wasn't, I was just a wild ass kid.
I just wasn't paying that much attention to my job, you know?
But I did get, they put down, listen, we're gonna put you down, you're eligible for rehire, okay?
Then why fire me?
You know, right, right?
Second time, not so much.
I was not eligible for rehire.
I don't think I could probably get a job at Starbucks since it's been about ten years.
But this motherfucker!
Yeah.
Gets to be a cop again!
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I can't even make coffee!
This guy gets to be a cop!
Yeah, dude.
Yeah, that's not right.
It's fucked.
It's fucked.
What'd you do that second time?
Uh, oh, actually, that's a good story.
Um, I, it was Christmas Day.
Oh, and you didn't write Jesus on someone's coffee cup?
I didn't write Jesus on someone's coffee cup.
I didn't say praise him and then hand him the... Actually, at the time, I was pretty deeply religious when this happened.
You were like, no, it would be an insult to our Lord to have his name written on a coffee cup.
I wouldn't, so I would actually just whisper prayers into every cup.
Um, I was going to my aunt's house and her coffee machine broke and we already closed.
And so I asked everybody with me, I said, Hey guys, like I was an assistant manager at the time.
I said, Hey, um, I need to take coffee machine today.
I'll pay for tomorrow.
If anyone's uncomfortable with that, I won't do it.
I get it.
You know, take the whole coffee machine, take a coffee.
They have retail ones.
Oh, okay.
So I took it and I bought it the next day.
Yeah.
A month later, a month later, my district manager came in and said, did you take a coffee machine home Christmas Day?
I said, yeah, and I bought it the next day though.
I paid for it.
I just needed it and the registers were closed and I just needed it.
It was kind of a weird thing.
And they were like, well, you still stole it.
And I was like, but I have like a receipt.
They're like, yeah, but you stole it.
Can you steal something if you're the manager?
I don't think so.
Well, I was a high ranking at the time, but I had a new manager ahead of me.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
And by the way, Jerry, I see you fucking rant.
I think me and Jerry are cool now though.
I think if you're, like, the assistant manager, like, you legally can't steal anything.
Like, you get to decide what's free or not.
That's what I thought.
Like, you have enough authority to be like, no, it's free.
Like, they were cool when I was stealing the Coldplay CDs, but, like, they got mad about the coffee machine that I paid for.
Well, those are just, like, flying off the shelves.
Who can tell how many are there or not, you know?
Okay, good story.
I like that.
Okay, Dick Flanagan.
Good decision, good hire.
Let's go to the first comment on this Facebook post about rehiring Timothy McValen.
What's his name?
Timothy Lohman.
Mary Angela says, I love this comment so much, why did you have to announce this to the community?
So she's like mad at the news.
Like, why did you give us the news?
You just destroyed any chance he may have had to succeed in his new position.
I wish that was true.
Don't you wish that was true?
Don't you wish that for the rest of his career he couldn't go anywhere with it?
Being like, hey Timothy, you kill any kids lately?
But that's not going to happen.
No.
And it's like, his boss knew what he did.
He got hired.
Like that's the guy who hired him.
He knew what he was doing.
How is he not going to be able to succeed?
Like we don't get to fire him.
No.
We don't have that pool.
We don't get to play office pranks on him.
Oh god, I wish we could like citizen fire cops.
Yeah.
That'd be the sickest.
Yeah, like sure, you know, you can citizen arrest another citizen, but you should be able to citizen fire a cop.
Yeah.
Absolutely.
God, what?
Nope, I'm gonna go that hypothetical where like you try to arrest a cop.
Try to citizen arrest a cop.
That's how you end up dead.
That's how you end up dead.
I love this.
You just destroyed any chance he may have had to succeed in his new position.
Like, I like the idea that he was gonna go around, like, fighting crime wearing a mask like a superhero, and then, like, after he's got... after he's got, like, 12 averted murders under his belt, or, like, 15 interactions with minorities without a death, he's, like, gonna rip off the mask and be like, It was me!
The child killer all along!
Yeah.
Also, in this scenario, if I know it's Timothy coming to me because I got a cop's call on me, I'm listening to everything he says.
I'm like, yo, like, fucking chill.
This guy kills kids.
Yeah, either that or you get a real gun instead of a BB gun.
He will take me out in a second.
He will take me out in a second.
He didn't hesitate for that kid.
I'm super dead.
So we gotta listen to this fucking guy.
He's gonna be really good at his job.
You gotta like run toward his police car.
You gotta like meet him halfway.
This is insane.
What a weird future we live in.
I mean present.
I mean I'm all I'm not for big government you know I want me some small government yeah but how is this allowed like how is there not some Some other entity saying no.
Yeah, it's called the judicial system.
Like, the district attorney for Cleveland decided not to press charges, I think?
Like, I don't think he saw trial.
I'm trying to remember.
No, he didn't.
No.
Yeah, so.
I mean, but any other profession.
If a doctor was like, yo, he like botched a bunch of surgeries.
Like, he just kind of, he would like show up like a little bit faded and he'd never wash his hands.
And a couple people died.
Yeah.
He's not getting another job.
You can't just like move.
Not even out of state.
You can't just move to the next county and get a job.
But if you're a cop, it's like... I think we've... Brothers.
Brotherhood.
Yeah, I mean like... And it's kind of amazing that...
Stuff like this does happen with police officers a lot.
A lot.
I'm blanking on which instance it was, but you hear about a cop who shot another black person.
Oh, turns out they were let go of another department for having racial complaints.
Totally.
Or whatever.
Well, even he got let go from another position earlier in his career.
Oh, maybe that's what I'm thinking.
There was the one guy who worked on... This was more recent.
I can't remember who the victim was.
It sucks.
It sucks not being able to remember.
One of these officers used to work on a campus.
He worked on a campus and he was, like, in a fight on campus.
A racially tinged fight.
Yeah, and he was deemed unfit, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He wasn't fit to work.
We covered that story.
Anyway, reminds me a lot of the priesthood.
yep yep which is like an institution that has had its image tarnished much more than uh than you know the police the police officers brotherhood of the collar brotherhood of the badge Oh yeah, we need to start making flags for priests called the Thin White Line.
It's like the collar.
It's the collar, yeah.
If you don't want your kids to get molested, you're like a radical terrorist.
Tell you this much, we wouldn't have people kneeling for them.
Alright.
That was a Catholic joke.
We kneel throughout the Mass.
Oh, sure.
They.
Yeah.
Next comment.
Gnarly comment.
Larry Gene Blaney, more like Blarney, says, uh, good for Bel Air.
They need policemen, not babysitters.
Don't break the law and you will be okay.
What fucking law do you think that Tamir Rice broke?
Even if it was a real gun.
He's not breaking the law.
Well, he was too young to probably have an open carry permit, but that's... he didn't break the law.
Yeah, exactly.
He didn't break the law, and... This is an insane, like... Dude, like, killed a child, and your analogy is, well, yeah, we don't want babysitters, like...
Yeah, if you're a babysitter, you're gonna let those, like, children live.
We don't want that.
As a police- in our- in our police departments.
What the fuck, dude?
Yeah, it's not- you- I'll tell you that much.
If the babysitter shot the kid, the babysitter's not getting hired.
No, this dude couldn't get hired as a babysitter.
Ever.
Yeah.
You have to be more qualified to be a babysitter.
I mean, this guy probably babysits people.
No, no way.
Uncle- Uncle Tim, like, definitely yells at kids a lot.
Yeah.
They need policemen, not babysitters.
Alright.
Another gnarly comment.
Tyler Mudrick says, Before you get shot, decide which one is real and which one is not.
And he's showing a picture of what I assume is a handgun next to a airsoft or BB gun.
You know, a BB gun that's made to look realistic.
It's one of those hyper realistic airsoft guns that cost like a couple hundred dollars.
Um, and, uh, the point Tyler is trying to make here is that, oh, if you're a cop, like, you're scared all the time, you're scared of getting shot all the time, and you have to react in the moment, not knowing whether, uh, that person is holding, like, uh, their other hand or a gun.
You have to make that split-second decision and be like, okay, um, Do I want to kill this person or do I want to wait another second?
You make that decision to kill.
Tyler could have made the same exact point of having an actual AR-15 next to a banana and cops see the same thing.
The irony of this comment to me and this is one that's been a meme for a while.
You tell me in a split second which is a gun and which isn't.
A cop drove right up to Tamir Rice after getting a report that somebody had a gun.
If you're so fucking afraid of getting shot as a police officer, which is like half your job, carrying around a gun and shooting people that you think might shoot you, if you're so afraid of getting shot, don't drive right up to somebody who supposedly has a gun.
Yeah.
It's a terrible idea.
You only do that if you want to kill them.
Yeah.
That's it.
The irony of this too is that...
Every time a police officer points something at you that looks like a gun, it's a gun.
Every time.
And don't hit me with that because tasers don't look like guns.
They just have triggers.
They look like a gun.
With a big yellow tip on it.
A giant yellow block on the end of it.
Every time this gets pointed at you, something that looks like an actual gun, it's a gun every time.
So what you're saying is that Tamir should have shot?
Lisa Thomas Straka, last comment here, ripping the veil all the way down, says, Welcome to the Ohio Valley!
Blue Lives Matter!
Uh, so welcoming, uh, Thomas Blowhard, what's his name?
Thomas Lowman.
Welcoming Thomas to the Ohio Valley.
Blue Lives Matter!
So like, what we've been told the Blue Lives Matter movement is about, it's about how cops are under fire, like literally, from thugs and Black Lives Matter gangs.
And Blue Lives Matter, and we need to protect them because their lives are in so much danger.
Well, we know Thomas Lohman's life was never in danger.
He just killed a kid.
Yeah, we know that.
He just killed a kid.
And in order to welcome him to her community, she's shouting Blue Lives Matter at him.
Which basically means, like, happy to have you here.
Congratulations on getting away with killing a black kid.
Welcome to Ohio Valley.
There's very few instances where This instance, blue lives matter definitely means black lives don't matter.
Oh, yeah.
And it's never been as apparent as in this comment.
It's just a slogan like, we like it when cops kill people.
Yeah.
That's like what it is.
It's, you know... Lisa's probably sitting there saying, well, my son's never been shot by a cop.
It's like if you're one of these like, oh, there are good cops and like not all cops are bad or whatever.
Like this was a bad cop.
This was obviously a bad cop who should have been prosecuted.
Um, but no, it's just, he's just, he's on that team.
He's on the team of police officers, which are on the opposite team of black lives.
Yeah.
So that's that.
Okay.
Next topic.
So, um, This is where we're going to be touching on the Kavanaugh confirmation to the Supreme Court, but in a very narrow sense.
So, model, actress, Emily Ratajkowski, who is probably most famous for being in the Blurred Lines music video.
I know her from the first season of True Detective.
She's like Woody Harrelson's girlfriend.
And I think she was also in Gone Girl.
She was protesting the Kavanaugh confirmation and she posted about it on Facebook.
And the post goes, Today I was arrested protesting the Supreme Court nomination of Brett Kavanaugh, a man who has been accused by multiple women of sexual assault.
Men who hurt women can no longer be placed in positions of power.
Kavanaugh's confirmation as a justice of the Supreme Court of the United States is a message to women in this country that they do not matter.
I demand a government that acknowledges, respects, and supports women as much as it does men.
So, um, this was cool of her to do this.
Cool of her to post this.
I mean...
Uh, we're gonna get into the backlash, the comment section on this post, which was insane.
Um, and she had to, you know, it's sad to say, but she had to sort of expect that kind of misogynistic backlash.
Maybe not as severe as it is.
No, definitely not as severe as it is, but I did not realize that this is the woman from the Blurred Lines video.
Yeah.
Um, there is a bit of irony in that.
Yeah.
That song is insanely rapey.
Maybe she uh maybe she took the criticism and and learned from it.
Yeah that's I'm kind of hoping you know because that that song and that like I mean the fucking the the hook is I Know You Want It like yeah it's pretty gross and like when I first like heard about the video and like like saw a bit of the video I didn't hear the song really I'm like You know, I love me some nudity.
I love me some, you know, body positivity.
I like that.
I think that's cool and there's a way to do it.
And then I was like, oh fuck.
Oh no.
They just like wanted to get naked chicks on here.
Like somebody in a boardroom said, let's get some naked chicks in this video.
Yeah that's a bummer but it's like yeah so when you that was one of the contributors to mainstream rape culture.
If you want to see some like uh sorry to sort of sidebar if if you want to see some artistic nudity by Emily Ratajkowski watch the first season of True Detective.
Amen.
No yeah I had already seen that and then when the Blurred Lines video came out you know I sort of Heard about that video via the backlash of it and then just saw like clips of like what was going on the video.
I was like, okay, I don't really need to watch this.
It's just like literally like naked models like walking around behind Robbie Williams.
Who's it?
I think Robbie Williams is cool.
I don't know.
Probably not, but I don't know.
That dude.
That dude.
That dude who's Alan Thicke's son.
Yeah.
Robbie Thicke.
Yeah, so she posted a picture of herself at this protest.
Sorry, real quick disclaimer.
Doesn't matter what she did, what videos she was in, nothing that she could have done justifies these people's responses.
No, no, no, not at all.
I just wanted to put out there for the things I was saying earlier, you know?
But it's just a bummer that that video exists and that, you know, like I said, hopefully We've all grown since then.
I mean, she's fucking doing it out here.
You know, getting arrested for protesting a Supreme Court nomination.
Yeah, that rules.
Yeah, it rules.
She's holding a sign that says, Respect Female Existence or Expect Our Resistance.
Hell yeah.
Cool.
Posted this on Facebook.
Oh boy.
Um, this is super fucked.
Uh, so like, you know, it had, it had a mostly good react response.
It's got 46,000 reacts, like, love, and laugh.
So the laughs are obviously negative.
Um, but, uh, comment section was an utter disaster.
Just like a disaster on so many levels, like, I'm just going to read the top comment.
This is the top comment.
um 9.3 positive 9.3 thousand positive reactions to this comment thousand steven glenatzis says emily radischkowski touched my wee wee i demand she loses her contracts see believe me i'm a survivor so that was the top comment
however every other comment was another rape joke like this "What is this?" Like, dudes in the world are all on that like, uh, Borgian mind meld.
Coming up with the same hilarious joke about being raped by Emily Ratajkowski.
It's so fucking gross.
So like, not only is this an extremely unfunny joke, all sort of like distaste aside, it's just not in any stretch of the imagination funny or clever or anything.
But obviously aside from that, it's utterly reprehensible.
I think it's the biggest irony here is that All of these men would 100% claim that women treat rape accusations like they're nothing.
Women lie about rape all the time.
Women treat rape accusations with a flippancy.
Every single one of these dudes is lying about rape.
Lying about being raped.
Accusing Emily Ratajkowski of raping them in the comment section on Facebook for a joke.
For a joke.
For fucking ha-ha laughs.
Like, what woman is gonna do that?
What woman would ever do that to a gotcha?
For a gotcha moment?
I can't fathom it.
It's because women are the ones who understand how how big of a deal it is you know every this these this past week these conversations have been coming up more and more than ever than even during the election This has been more of like this is like There's another It's not even a stick that like broke the camel's back.
It's like a fucking foot that stomping on the camel that's been broken down and the more and more I become aware, like I was very aware that so many, so many women have been victims and are survivors.
a lot of them, the majority, but what I didn't realize is how much closer it is to all. - Yeah. - To all.
To every, every, every woman.
And it's disgusting that we treat this so casually.
This is, you know, and we're, I'm sure we're preaching to the choir.
I'm sure if you're like listening to this show, you understand that Rape culture is a real thing, but it's just amazing to see, I don't know what you would call it, normies engaging in this sort of loose talk and jovial conversation about rape and how funny it is.
In one of my UPS Teamsters groups, There's like this thing about the contract that I won't get into now, but people are upset with the leadership of the union.
And one of the top posts in that group was, oh, uh, Hoffa raped me.
Uh, you know, Hoffa raped me two weeks ago with this contract and shoved it in and blah, blah, blah.
And it's like, I, and then it's hashtag me too.
And it's got like hundreds of laugh reacts and like, this is the whole, the most hilarious joke.
Like, Think about, I'm not trying to minimize rape, but think about if this were murder.
Think about making that joke, Haffa killed me two weeks ago.
I'm dead.
Hashtag, I'm dead.
Like, that's not funny.
That's like, it's not even a joke.
It's just because it's something that you'll never have to experience.
You most likely, as a man, statistically won't experience as, you know, as likely as it is for a woman to experience.
Yeah.
That it's somehow, that makes it funny.
And to the people who are, you know, on the left and claim to understand, especially the dudes out there, and even a lot of the women out there, as bad as you think it is, it's worse.
If you're a woman out there who is a victim who thinks you're the exception, You're not.
It's all of them.
Every woman has been affected by and touched by and is a survivor.
You're gonna be hard-pressed to find someone who isn't.
And if you need to talk to somebody, as we try to do on this show, I'm going to plug the Rape and Incest National Network.
You can call them toll free at 1-800-656-HOPE.
That's 1-800-656-HOPE or 1-800-656-4673.
If you need to talk to somebody or if you need to get somebody else help, that's the number to call.
hope or 1-800-656-4673 if you need to talk to somebody or if you need to get somebody else help that's the number to call toll free 24 7 confidential and take people seriously Take the people around you seriously, take your loved ones seriously, take people that aren't your loved ones seriously, take people seriously.
Yeah, so I like, my, I just commented on that post, I was like, this post fucking sucks, don't post shit like that.
And like, there were like three people, including myself, out of the hundred comments, who were like, fuck you for posting this shit.
Sucks.
- It sucks.
- What is wrong with you?
- It sucks.
- Yeah, okay.
I'm not joking.
These comments on this Emily Radishkowski post, there were like 20 of these in the 30 comments that I looked at.
And some of them were aware they weren't being original.
Like I said, one of them was like, oh, I didn't think I was the only one that had been assaulted by her.
And it's crazy that this Facebook leaves this up.
Yeah.
Like, what does Facebook do here?
Does Facebook have to treat every one of these obvious trolls as an actual survivor?
Like, this shit...
I'm surprised the Me Too movement... No, it's hard to say because even women on the right probably wouldn't frivolously accuse.
You know what I'm saying?
I'm trying to think of it being weaponized in this way but on a more strategic... Anyway, that's something else.
Okay, next comment.
Sergio L. Checo Garcia says to Emily, did you protest when Bill Clinton got accused?
Yeah, I don't think she did because she was all of like six, seven years old-y figure when that happened.
Let's see when Emily was born here.
Emily was born in 1991.
Yeah.
That happened in like, you know, the mid-90s.
93?
95?
She was a mere babe.
Hey, you could walk at that point.
Why weren't you marching against Bill Clinton?
And this is like, I mean, obviously just a monumentally dumb comment.
4,000 reacts to it.
4,000.
4,000 positive reacts to Sergio's dumb comment.
I think it's great.
Like, so...
Do you believe Bill Clinton's accuser, Sergio?
I think that's the next question to ask.
Yeah.
Do you believe, um, what's her name?
That's a bad thing to say, right?
Her last name starts with a B. Fuck.
Juanita Broderick.
Do you believe Juanita Broderick when she said he sexually assaulted her?
I tend to.
I believe that shit.
I don't not believe it.
Yeah, that's for sure.
Just like I believe other survivors and people who accuse like sketchy dudes of this shit.
So are you saying Bill Clinton's accuser should be believed and then if so, why should not Dr. Ford be believed?
Yeah.
This isn't a gotcha moment.
I saw this meme in the response to so much gnarly shit that I saw.
Some of it was in the Minion Death Commandos Facebook group.
But it was like, if we're gonna persecute Judge Kavanaugh about Dr. Ford, why don't we do all of Congress?
Yeah!
Yeah!
Investigate all of Congress!
Absolutely!
Yes, please!
Run it!
I'm with that!
And maybe this fucking FBI investigation will take more than two days!
Like, it's not a gotcha moment to believe one woman and not the other, you know what I mean?
It doesn't make sense.
It's this hypocrisy argument that people on both sides try to make.
Oh, well then why don't we investigate the Clintons on this shit?
Okay, then do it!
Then do it, please.
Absolutely.
You're not getting me on anything.
Let's believe all women.
I will support that, yeah.
What's another huge bummer about these comments, both Sergio and Stephen, was it Stephen?
The fucking guy, the first guy, the fucking piece of garbage in the first comment?
Oh yeah, uh, Steven.
Steven.
In both their profile pictures, there are women present.
There are presumed partners.
And uh, let me tell you something, folks.
If your partner is one of these motherfuckers who are being so casual about these topics, you're part of the problem.
You're part of the problem.
And if you need help getting out of relationships, there are resources.
We got you.
Call Rain.
They can send you somewhere.
I would be worried if you were in the same house with either of these people.
I think that's all I was going to say about that.
Logan Ian.
Logan fucking Ian.
Last comment on this topic.
Logan Ian says to Emily, Emily, I adore you and would give my life to protect you.
I'm sorry, but I don't think you've thought this through.
Logan.
This motherfucker signed it.
He signed it.
Emily, what is you doing, baby?
Not only did he think she was going to read it, but thought he had to like, hey, look, Logan.
Yeah.
Well, it's because he doesn't have a profile pic.
Maybe she wouldn't recognize him.
He's got to say his name twice.
Oh, fuck.
This is Logan.
Logan, Logan.
Oh my God.
There were comments like this up and down the board, right?
Yeah.
Again, totally missing the point where... God, I can't believe I ever thought you were hot.
Yeah!
At the end of the day, all they're seeing is this sex object.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
She's just hot to them.
Still not a person.
Still not somebody who has anonymity and thoughts.
Listen, you were way hotter when you weren't protesting.
Oh, this person who I saw naked actually respects bodily autonomy?
What a fucking turn off.
Yeah, ugh.
Insane.
I would give my life to protect you.
Except for this moment where you don't have to give your life.
All you have to do is say, hey guys, lay off.
Watch out.
Logan, Emily Ratajkowski Protector, has logged on.
Yeah.
I love this, dude.
I would legit die for you.
Yeah.
I think maybe he's missed, like, Robin Thicke only ripped off Prince.
Like, he wouldn't actually die for her.
Yeah, it's like, it's called a palindrome, right?
When you, like, mishear a lyric.
He heard, like, I, I would die for you.
Uh, even if you're standing against the falsely accused, I, I would die for you.
I think that's how it goes, right?
Yeah, yeah.
Something like that.
I was close enough.
I'm good with that.
Yeah.
Okay.
That's it for the derangement under Emily Ratajkowski's Facebook profile.
Shout out to Emily, by the way.
Good job.
Hey Tony, get out of Tony's camera!
Upgrade.
This is a visual upgrade.
You gotta go to YouTube to see this magic.
YouTube.com slash MinionDeathCall.
Tony, I really wish you'd turn around and look in the camera.
That would be so beautiful.
Let's see if I can get him to do it.
Oh, oh, oh.
Hey, buddy.
I'm over here.
Over here.
Oh!
Oh.
Yeah, there you go.
If you guys aren't going to YouTube right now, if you guys aren't going to youtube.com slash minion death cult, Subscribe.
Okay, our next post is from Bridget Gabriel.
An interesting character.
Founder and, I don't know, chairwoman of Axe.
Which is a very specific conservative organization dedicated to eradicating Muslims from the face of the earth.
And, uh...
Her post goes, for immediate release, Hyatt Hotels to millions of conservatives, you're not welcome at our hotels.
And the press release from ACT also says, Hyatt Hotels to millions of conservatives, you're not welcome at our hotels.
So basically what happened is like ACT is like a hate group.
They're like an active anti-Muslim hate group who had a conference at one of the Hyatt Regency hotels and like a bunch of organizations sort of stepped forward to pressure Hyatt Regency to like Change their policies, update their policies, and not cater to groups that are in active opposition to other like ethnic or religious groups.
And obviously that is very threatening to an organization like ACT who exists solely in opposition to the Muslim world.
I just want to talk about Bridget Gabriel's profile pic for a second because it's amazing.
Like you said, Tony, she It's insane, yeah.
Yeah, she looks like a villainess.
Yeah.
She looks like a Judge Jeanine Pirro whose eyes work.
Who can like look at a camera, you know?
She looks like that.
Fiercely.
Look at a camera fiercely.
She looks like somebody who's been dyeing her hair black for the last five years.
Who's been wearing black hair.
Okay, yeah.
Yeah, she looks like a femme fatale from a late-era James Bond movie.
I'm not one to, like, you know, shame people on superficial things, but Bridgette, I got some eyebrow people I can link you to.
I got some friends in the eyebrow game that could lace you out, because girl, those things are not doing it for me.
Do you have any just eyebrows you could link her to?
Well, they'd have to get him actually done.
Yeah, she needs more of them.
I couldn't pick which one of my Insta-famous eyebrow friends I have to link them to, but shout out to them.
They don't listen.
A little bit of history on ACT for America.
So it was funny.
When I saw this post, I was like, oh, this post is great, because like you said, Tony, I keep saying like you said, why don't you go ahead and say what you said you liked about this post?
Yeah, so this is my favorite thing that conservatives do, is play the victim card.
They're so good at it.
They're so good at, you know, listen, all we did was say that Muslims don't belong anywhere in the world, and they're gonna do us like that?
They're not gonna let us use their, you know, they love to play the victim.
All we used was fascistic, genocidal language regarding the Middle East, and now I can't book a hotel?
Book a conference room at this hotel?
Yeah, they're mad about this.
Trump is saying right now is a hard time to be a man in America, but love to play the victim.
It's so fucking crazy.
Going to that point, Amy Beth shared it, there's a genuinely good...
Trevor Noah piece who I'm like not really a big fan of um there's like it's like this thing they do when it's in a commercial break Trevor Noah of the Daily Show addresses the audience and like just kind of talks like off the cuff supposedly and it's and it seems very off the cuff
And he's talking about this phenomenon about how Trump and Kavanaugh are turning themselves into the victim in this scenario and where they'll face absolutely no repercussions for any of these things they're supposedly being persecuted for.
It's a very thoughtful, very genuinely moving It's not a speech.
It's just a sort of like long musing that he gives.
And it's like, yeah, that's really right on.
So we have to share the link.
Yeah, I'll share the link.
Click on the pop up in your podcast player right now to view that.
OK.
So when I went to share this post with Tony, because I knew we would both love it, Facebook warned me that it was fake news when I went to share it.
Like instead of a presidential alert, I got like a Facebook alert that was like, alert, there is more reporting on this story at Snopes.com that you should read before you share this link.
And I was like, chill out, dude.
I'm just like making fun of it.
Yeah, we're just gonna tease it.
It's cool though, but thank you.
So, but I did click on the Snopes link, which is cool.
I just like that that's annoying to like conservatives trying to share, like the thousands of conservatives that tried to share this.
They had to click out of that pop-up.
Get out of here!
This is silencing my freedom of speech because I have to click more than once to share this.
Yeah, the statement is great because Act for America blames a Soros-funded smear campaign for the hotel chain's decision on this matter.
And then this quote is particularly great.
Their decision to ban, quote, hate groups, so Hyatt, this is Act for America in their press release.
Hyatt's decision to ban hate groups is in reality a decision to ban all freedom-loving, flag-waving, conservative Americans from their hotel chains, the statement read.
And I think that's funny because, yeah, like, ban those people.
Yeah, I'm good with that.
I would love to go to a hotel where I know I won't see those people.
Yeah, like, that's not at all what Hyatt said, but they should.
I was at one of the nicest hotels in the Empire last night at the bar at the... The Mission Inn?
The Mission Inn.
Yeah.
And me and the person I was there with was the only non-people that we could describe this way.
Everyone else there was definitely a Trump vote.
Everyone else was definitely a conservative, gnarly, gross person.
But anyways, I would much rather go to the Hyatt now.
I love that, that like, for some reason, ACT is associating freedom-loving, flag-waving conservative Americans with hate groups.
I wonder why ACT would associate those two groups together.
While we have come to expect this from left-wing radicals, we certainly did not expect a prominent American hotel chain to weaponize their brand and influence against the conservative voice.
You know what, I would have expected this from the scumbags at Antifa, but never from a hotel chain.
Hotel chains!
One of the most venerated groups of companies in America.
Yeah, to weaponize and brand influence, as if someone's like, oh, you know, I heard the high is not down with Axe, so maybe I'm gonna stay away.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
The Hyatt is using their Instagram account to promote Muslim groups' care and shit.
Totally.
Oh, my favorite line from the fake thing was, because everything was written, it was so obvious, the way it was written was so obvious that it wasn't real.
One of the quotes was, uh, the discredited Southern Poverty Law Center.
Yeah.
Remember that time that it was discredited?
Yeah, but you won't read about it on Snopes.
No, mm-mm, mm-mm.
Um, yeah, and then it's funny because ACT, from another thing that I learned about ACT for America, uh, it's a group that describes itself as, quote, the NRA of national security.
I don't even know what the fuck that means still.
It means, hey, you know how deranged the NRA is about guns in America?
We're that deranged about Muslims, but the opposite.
But isn't, like, the NRA, like, the act of gun groups, then?
Like, they should just join together.
I just love that, like, this is, like, how deranged you are on the right when you're, No, you know that organization that advocates openly for, like, killing, killing senators and shit?
That, like, multi-million dollar organization that's like, better get a gun to kill a senator.
Yeah.
Like, uh, we're as serious about killing Muslims.
Exactly.
We also don't play.
Yeah, no, yeah, I love it.
We will also inundate your email.
Don't give us your email address.
This woman's biography is like wild too.
Her biography on the A4A website describes her as quote one of the leading terrorism experts in the world but does not list any educational qualifications.
None.
None.
In a 2006 book, Gabriel, that's her last name, wrote that she has a one-year business administration degree from a YWCA in Marayaoun, Lebanon.
She later became a journalist working for the U.S.
So I was like reading this in real time and I was like, okay, she's got a one-year business administration degree.
That's like a, you know, bullshit degree.
But then she later became a journalist, and I'm like, okay, so she's like out in the real world, like, actually talking to people, and then I kept reading this sentence.
working for the U.S. evangelist Pat Robertson's Middle East Television Network, according to a 2011 report from the New York Times.
She says, America has been infiltrated on all levels by radicals who wish to harm America.
She said, they have infiltrated us at the CIA, at the FBI, at the Pentagon.
Like this is how wild these people are that they think the CIA and the FBI, like the two most right and the Pentagon, the three most right wing organizations in America possible at the top levels.
No.
Those are the secret leftists.
Don't tell anybody, but they're actually the real enemy.
This is how much as a leftist in this country you have to contend with.
You have to work backwards from the fact that, no, actually, the CIA isn't left-wing.
At all.
They're like the the most right-wing?
Like the FBI has been like on record like, you know, taking some of leftists out, you know?
The CIA has also gone around the world doing the same thing.
That's their job.
That's their job.
That's literally their job.
They are being radicalized in radical mosques in our cities and communities with it like as if they're not like finding like depressed loners at these mosques to then trick into committing a terror quote committing a terrorist attack yeah arresting them when they go to like yeah when they bring cash to meet them or something you know anyway Funny stuff.
We're not allowed at the Hyatt Hotel anymore.
The most persecuted group in America.
Act America.
So, comments from this.
David J. Remick says, Maybe it is time for multiple, quote, conservatives to make reservations at their hotels and then cancel them at the last minute.
Show them some true activism!
Suck it!
No, yeah, this is like... Dude, this is a new level of, like, this isn't, like, restaurant politics.
No.
This isn't, like, commenting or TV politics.
Like, you know how, like, you're, you're, like, doing politics if you watch Roseanne and stuff like that?
No, this is hotel booking politics.
Yeah.
True activism.
I just want... Book a hotel room.
I want them to actually do it and then not read the fine print and then wait just too long to cancel it.
None of these people are getting their money.
You can't book a hotel and then cancel it.
Sorry.
That's not how it works at all.
Sorry.
What's David's icon there?
What's his little avatar there?
Bastin Red Sox.
The Bastin Red Sox logo.
You know, totally woke Boston.
I love this.
It's pretty great.
Every conservative everywhere needs to lose $300 to Hyatt Regency Hotel right now.
Yeah, that'd be so chill for the Hyatt.
Real activism.
Real activism hours.
Who's up?
As long as they don't do it while we're doing a Hyatt tour or doing our live shows, the Hyatt tour.
Well, then we get those canceled rooms for cheaper.
Oh, that's tight.
Cool, cool.
So when we do our tour, don't book rooms until day of.
Do you want to read this comment?
Can you read it from there?
Oh yeah.
This is your comment.
This is, this is insane.
You got to try to read it phonetically.
Yeah.
Maybe make it a little bigger for that.
This is Lori Dick Paul.
Um, says also, also a little bit of a trigger warning here.
This does refer to suicide really casually.
Um, Lori Dick Paul says, isn't this pain in suicide a week?
I'd have to say, they just committed themselves to very painful suicide.
And it's like, after both of these sentences, it's a tilde and then two exclamation points.
So it's like, isn't this pain and suicide week?
Exactly.
They just committed themselves to very painful suicide.
Gotcha.
Got em.
Let's help speed things along.
So as not to have them suffer for too long... Again, tilde, exclamation point, exclamation point.
Let's share this far and wide crying laughing emoji and then the squirting emoji.
Squirting emoji!
laughing crying so hard you squirt yep i love let's share this far and wide and far and wider capitalized yeah which preceding the squirt makes it seem sexual like as far and wide a porno film she watched um yeah far Far and wide also seems like
Like a really, like, uh, fascist propaganda movie about the military.
Like, we will hunt you wherever we find you, far and wide.
Or we will spread our truth far and wide.
Yeah, yeah.
Like, also, Laurie, why are you so thirsty?
Like, why are you telling people to share this?
Like, you don't tell people to share, it has to just happen.
Another one?
Did I get it?
There was one other comment.
There was two comments that I wanted to get from this.
One of them was really good.
It was like...
Hyatt has bedbugs because of the demon rats who stayed in the hotels!
Tell everyone!
Like, got him, dude.
Got him in this comment section on this ultra right-wing post.
The Hyatt is responsible for the next bubonic plague because of the demon rats.
I can't even say demon rats.
It's not supposed to be said, it's just supposed to be typed.
Yeah.
Here it is.
They all have bed bugs brought in by the demon rats, so stay away from the Hyatt hotels.
Demonic rats works better.
I like demon rats, dude.
I know, I'm just telling them it works better.
Idiots are idiots.
There was another one with, um...
Oh, where is it?
It was good.
Okay.
I don't know how I didn't screenshot this.
Okay.
Teresa Colonna says, you ready for this?
Bring it.
I stayed there last night as a conservative.
And all night long I was scratching and itching.
Had to take Benadryl.
The exterminator came in and said it was bedbugs.
And then she put like three ant emojis.
So I get up in the morning to grab some breakfast.
After the night I had, I needed some energy.
Well, lo and behold, what do I see?
Eyeball emojis.
On the table, crawling cockroaches.
And then three more ant emojis.
So as a conservative, that means no one harm.
I truly do not recommend staying there.
Hotel emoji.
Go to the better place where the lights are always on.
Motel 6.
Different hotel emoji.
There's more than one hotel emoji apparently.
But only one bug.
Oh, it's the hospital emoji, but it has an H, so it's a hotel for this purpose.
Much cleaner.
Much cleaner.
Hospitals are much cleaner than hotels.
That's not true, I don't think.
Yeah, there's a thing called staff infection.
I love this.
As a conservative, I was up all night itching and scratching.
I don't know what that means.
It's like she took her story about bedbugs that she had typed out to her son who never responded and then pasted it but added as a conservative to put it into context for this post.
Well, these are like special bedbugs that demon rats bring in that only attack conservatives.
Yeah, well, people don't know, but the Black Plague was actually caused by the fleas that were on the rats, and so it's much the same.
The bedbugs are actually brought in by the demon rats.
Well, much like how black people don't get lice, like, uh, uh, liberals don't get bedbugs.
Oh, okay.
That's why conservatives get the bedbugs.
Yeah.
Okay, that's it for the episode.

Yeah.
