This week we cover a few viral stories surrounding the election, including: An America's Got Talent loser getting fired by ZZ Top for sponsoring a lib-triggering facebook post, plus, his totally-real story about getting accosted by "hot topic kids" at a Chili's. That guy who wore a confederate noose T Shirt to the polls, and how it's not racist, according to obvious racists and finally, a woman collapses at a Trump rally, the audience sings at her lifeless body, and this an example of republican universal healthcare
Yeah, just getting some more levels, trying to get me to sound nice.
More volume for the more bass.
And get you comfortable, like, bullshitting, you know?
Yeah.
Just like bullshitting, because that's what half of podcasting is.
It's just free-flow bullshitting.
It's just making everything up, as you say it.
Referring to no actual facts or figures or real events?
No, no.
Just a bunch of gobbledygook.
Sorry if I offended any snowflakes.
Um, no, they don't even know any better to be offended.
They don't know they're being had every single episode, every week.
They're too fucking stupid to realize that. - Yep, they're gobbling.
The liberals are destroying California and conservative humor gone ray.
Conservative humor gone awry is going to fascist phonia 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.
But stay tuned, guys.
We'll show you exactly what it looks like when you're going to destroy the desert.
Oh, they're in Barbados.
Stay tuned.
T-shirt with a noose. - Yes.
I don't know what I'm gonna lose.
That's my job.
That's right.
Yeah, that's right.
Yeah, okay.
I'm Alexander Edward.
And I'm Tony Boswell.
And we are Minion Death Cult.
The world is ending.
Sharp-dressed men are responsible.
We're documenting it.
Thank you for joining us today.
We have a very fun episode.
We try to make these things fun despite the constant misery in which we all live.
Yeah, yeah.
A little dose of joy.
And joining us in this joy, so that's joining with a Y, is Annie.
How you doing, Annie?
Oh, I'm great.
I'm doing just well.
Thank you.
Thank you for asking.
And Annie, of course, has no nickname.
She has no last name, just like the spunky character that we all know and love, Annie.
Except more like the version of Annie who would commandeer Daddy Warbucks' bucks and distribute them throughout the community, I think.
But still has a mean soft shoe axe.
That sounds like some shit I would do.
So, uh, today, there's a lot of stuff we could have covered with the election happening last week, um, with, of course, the California wildfires, uh, continuing to burn, uh, leaving 31 dead, I believe is the current total, and about 200 people unaccounted for.
Um, this is, of course, awful.
Uh, of course, Donald Trump found a way to make it even more awful.
By literally blaming California for these wildfires.
And I think this is kind of like, I wouldn't say a genius move, but it's just a good move because it's like, it's actually ascribing human agency to the fires, but it's not global warming.
Yep.
It's that Californians are, like, too liberal, and that's why the world is on fire right now?
Well, I don't know if you knew this, but, like, plastic fake trees, like the ones in Whoville?
Yeah, the ones that Radiohead sang about?
They don't ignite right away.
So, this is kind of hard to do.
Did Radiohead do the Whoville soundtrack?
Yeah, they did.
I think it was that band Who?
with a question mark.
Makes sense.
So we're not talking about that today.
We're also not talking about Tons of other stories around the election that we could have talked about.
The recount in Florida, the fact that people are saying, including Rick Scott, saying that a recount is voter fraud.
Saying that counting uncounted votes counts as voter fraud.
By being thorough is now fraud.
And literally just comments that are like, no votes, no ballots that we find should be counted.
They had their chance to be found the first time.
Another take I really like is Ted Cruz like flexing, being like cock of the walk because he beat the Democratic candidate by two percentage points in one of the reddest states in America.
The only thing worse than that is everyone like saying that he should be president now.
Beto?
Beto should run for president now.
Yeah, dude, including my family.
I love my family, but boy are they dirty libs.
That math is so wild.
Hey, the guy that just lost to Ted Cruz?
We should run him against the guy that beat Ted Cruz.
Dude, and the argument is like, maybe he'll flip Texas in the presidential election.
Yeah, I'm so sure.
Well, I like the way he looks.
That's, you know, he looks presidential.
We're all a sucker for skater boys.
Yeah, you know, he's kind of hot, I'm not gonna lie.
No, he's hot, but I like... I'd have a horny thought about him, too.
I don't want to, like, fuck the president.
I want to have a beer with the president.
I just want a president that can switch flip.
Like he can.
No, today we are talking about at least one topic around the election, and that is our first topic.
If you're not watching this on YouTube, go ahead and go to youtube.com slash MinionDeathCult and subscribe there, like this video if you are watching, leave a comment saying, hey, good video.
Great video.
Like, your comment can totally look like a bot comment.
We don't care at all.
Like, that's cool.
But, like, all the suckers who were just listening didn't get to see my reaction to Geese give me a nice little bite.
It was a sweet bite, but I definitely reacted.
Oh, yeah.
Geese gets pretty intense with her love.
So, we also look real cool.
Like, Tony is I don't know if I like this or I don't like this.
Tony is wearing a shirt with a competing cult on it.
Oh, yeah, true.
The Heaven's Gate cult, and I don't know if this is a good move or a bad move.
I think it kind of detracts from our status as a cult.
Well, no, I only, like, reference, like, cults that are no longer around because they're all dead.
No, we should, like, cover a Heaven's Gate song at some point, I think.
It'll be encore at some fest.
Yeah.
Okay, let's get into our first topic.
You ready, Annie?
Yes?
No?
What?
Sorry, one more time?
You ready for this?
Oh yeah, I'm so ready.
Cool.
I'm the readiest.
I'm at heaven's gate, ready to be received.
So, our first topic is just an amazing saga.
The saga of Benton Blount, whose name is spelled with two red B's.
I thought that was the joke when I first read his name.
I was like, what the fuck is like, who's Kenton Clout?
Is that what this is?
Alright.
So Benton Blount, real name, is like a country singer aspiring Facebook personality that I discovered through a totally separate post that also dealt with this election.
But there's a more important post that Benton Blount did that got him kicked off a tour with ZZ Top.
Specifically ZZ Top's Billy Gibbons.
Okay, so I'm going to read this Fox News headline.
America's Got Talent alum loses gig on ZZ Top's guitarist tour after posing in MAGA hat holding Chick-fil-A.
Bit more than just that, but yeah, definitely.
Amazing headline, even if it weren't anything more than that.
Yeah.
Amazing headline.
What's your visceral reaction to this headline, Annie?
Oh, I think it's... I mean, it's so well written, you basically get the entire article in the headline.
Which, as a person who doesn't like to read, I like that.
Yeah, I hate reading, so I really actually appreciate that they just did that for me.
What they could have done though is they could have just said like, the title article could have been, see photo below, and the photo would have been the exact picture of him wearing the MAGA hat, holding Chick-fil-A, with like a rubber stamp graphic over it that says FIRED.
Tony, I think you should write a copy for Fox News.
One day.
One day.
So, they mentioned that he's an America's Got Talent alum, which... What is that?
It's like a show that you could be on, and he was, and it's funny that he got fired.
Like, this is just a very funny headline to me.
And obviously the implication is that he was like too Republican.
Facebook thinks he's racist for being Republican.
And so they kicked him off, kicked him off Facebook.
Billy Gibbons kicked him off the tour.
But I think his problem was that he just wasn't racist enough because he literally, he literally lost on America's Got Talent.
He literally lost to a ventriloquist.
Wow.
Who I'm assuming was doing like a Jeff Dunham like Mexican jalapeno puppet.
I mean losing to a ventriloquist dude is basically like losing the Revolutionary War in a way.
It's the least American thing you can do.
Well this guy's like real talent wasn't so much that he can sing and write songs is that he's just this He doesn't look attractive like he has this like kind of rough look about him And they're like oh look at this grizzled man.
Oh look at him.
He's singing sweet country songs Like that's the talent is that he has like he plays tender music Okay, that he's subverting.
Yeah, if I looked at this guy and tried to figure out what kind of music he played, it would be like a sort of like edgy, atmosphere, you know, rap or something like that.
Because he's, you know, he's got a beard.
Yep.
And a baseball cap.
A baseball cap.
But no, it turns out he plays real music.
Well, that's funny that you say that, because maybe a few years ago, I would have thought the same thing, Alex.
However, I worked a country show that the lead singer of Stained performed.
You know, it's been a while.
That's the band name.
So basically, all the fans that came to see him look like Blount.
Well, yeah, Aaron Lewis looks like Benton Blount.
They're the same person.
That guy, Aaron Lewis.
Did you have to stand for the anthem when you saw Aaron Lewis?
Did I have to stand?
Sorry, you cut out for a second.
Did you have to stand for the anthem when you saw Aaron Lewis?
I heard that he starts all his shows with the National Anthem.
He actually, like, sneaks in in the middle.
Yeah, they basically wouldn't continue the show until every person in the audience was standing with their hand over their heart.
Okay, so this dude got kicked off of Facebook for 24 hours.
He got kicked off of Billy Gibbons' tour forever.
And which is like, you know, people are mad at Billy Gibbons.
Republicans are mad at Billy Gibbons and ZZ Top for doing this.
But I think ZZ Top has a track record of being fine with principled conservatives.
Yeah, such as Hank Hill, King of the Hill, of course, appearing on an episode of King of the Hill, most notably.
It's just that this, you know, Trump is just such a deviation from the norm of like respectable Republicans.
Irrespectable racism.
Yeah.
It's just good business.
It's like they see both sides of the fence here.
Just like how Michael Jordan once said, you know, Republicans buy shoes too.
So Michael Jordan doesn't talk about issues.
And, you know, Billy Gibbons is like, yeah, liberals like to rock also.
Yeah.
Liberals like women with legs too.
Yes.
Yeah.
Like a nice legged woman.
So, ostensibly, this is like Facebook overreaching.
This is like, oh my god, Facebook is just discriminating against a guy who likes Trump and Chick-fil-A.
This is harmless.
It's just, oh, I can't eat this food, apparently, or else Facebook will ban me from the public sphere.
And, oh, actually, it turns out, Benton Blount made a sponsored post.
He promoted a post, which is a photo of him in his MAGA hat, uh, holding a Styrofoam Chick-fil-A cup.
And the caption reads, someone reading this just got offended multiple times.
My work here is done.
Hashtag vote.
So this is not reported in literally any of the articles that I read doing preparation for this episode.
He sponsored a post to trigger the libs on his official Facebook page.
Sponsor that post so I know it's real.
He paid money to Facebook to trigger the libs and got fucking fired.
Lost a gig for it.
That's so great.
You ever spend money to get fired?
His thought process probably was like, I'm about to go on tour.
Let me go ahead and give me a little clout before I go out here.
Sponsor this post.
Getting fired to own the libs.
I love this shit.
I mean, I don't know, that's dedicated.
I admire him, to be quite honest.
I like how real this photo is, too, because he could have fronted and, like, you know, stacked, like, four chicken sandwiches in his hand, a bunch of waffle fries, big-ass drink, but there's even, like, a bigger drink right behind him in the picture, and he's holding the smaller drink because, you know, he's just keeping it real.
Real honest America.
So this is why he caught a ban or a timeout from Facebook is because he's promoting obvious political hackery.
I don't know how it got past Facebook's initial screener when you go to promote a post because they're actually pretty strict at what they will allow, but it got past it somehow.
I was like, why would Facebook Yeah, that's exactly why.
And he's promoting his page, Ben Being Blunt, which I'm sure is, you know, next week you can go on there and see all the, his rantings and his, you know, the cab of his truck very soon.
I know it.
And it's like, this pun doesn't make sense.
The name of his page is Benton Being Blunt.
But his last name is Blount.
So like, it's a pun on that, but you don't know his last name already.
Well, Blount is just past tense blunt.
I was blunt with them.
So let's get into this.
This dude like ran with it.
He the story was reported in like Mike Huckabee's website and Fox News and like local news affiliates.
And so he gained a bit of notoriety from this.
Let's hear from Alan Lowe, his songwriting partner.
He's counted as a top fan on Facebook, which just means he constantly comments on Benton Bing Blount's posts.
I haven't been this angry, frustrated, disappointed, disgruntled in a long while.
This is the new America of the liberal Democrat extremists and their version of, quote, tolerance.
My best bro, friend, business partner, writing partner, an amazing person and artist, Benton Blount, was just kicked off of the Billy Gibbons Tour for a Facebook post of Benton wearing a MAGA hat while eating a Chick-fil-A biscuit.
I wish he really was, like, eating it in the sponsored post.
Like, mid-bite, just, like, open mouth?
He should've.
That would've been more triggering to me.
Through the foil?
Like, yeah, sure, he gave them money, but I don't know if he's actually eating the evil Christian sandwiches, you know?
Like, he could just be throwing them away after he takes a picture.
Because like me, if I was a conservative, I'd go there for the flex, you know?
I'd go there to get my pleasures.
Did I say it right?
My pleasure?
Yeah.
Yeah, I would go there for that, but then I'd just toss a sandwich at the window because I still unsubscribed to cruelty to animals.
This is the tolerance the left is imposing on those with whom disagree.
I love the proper placement of the preposition.
And then just forgetting an article there.
Or forgetting a pronoun.
With whom disagree.
This is despicable.
Certainly un-American.
Is the A in un-American capitalized?
Mid-word?
It is now.
You gotta respect it that way.
Dude capitalized.
I think that's the way to do it.
WRONG!
Certainly un-American.
Wrong.
Please share and let others know before this is pulled down.
Hashtag tolerance. Hashtag Benton Blount.
Hashtag Team Benton.
Hashtag MAGA.
Hashtag Chick-fil-A.
Hashtag Liberal Hypocrisy.
Hashtag Trump Pence.
Hashtag My President.
I never see the Trump pants like that's a full embracement like the whole cabinet that's definitely that's well done and then I just love this I love this like these like cries for tolerance when literally your post was all about triggering liberal tears and shit and now you're the one crying It's very funny to me.
Someone should tell Alan to sponsor that post so everyone sees it.
I think Facebook would allow this post to be sponsored.
Yeah.
He's picking up your boy, Benji.
Alright, so we're going to go to the first post that I sent you, Annie.
The one about chilis.
Uh, we had a little glitch here with the audio.
So for about five minutes, it sounds weird.
Uh, it should still all be audible.
Uh, and then after that it goes back to normal.
So, uh, deal with it.
Okay, so... This is another amazing post from, uh, Benton Blount, uh, regarding his newfound fame, uh, with getting fired by Billy Gibbons.
Benton Blount posted on Saturday at 2pm, just got approached by two guys that looked like they came straight out of Hot Topic.
They said, quote, hey, are you the guy wearing the MAGA hat that the news has been talking about?
So you can tell from this prose that this is something that definitely happened.
For sure.
This is like the thing that's happened the most, like this is the most true thing that we've ever read on the podcast.
I naturally said, yes, instantly, with a smile.
Of course it's me.
I cleverly replied, yes.
Cleverly, sardonically, and ruthlessly, I replied, yeah.
Yep.
Then one kid says, quote, how does it feel to be racist?
Burn!
Then one kid poured hot tar all over my body.
Two young kids with dyed black hair and skinny jeans came crab-crawling toward me, going, brr, brr, brr.
Who does it feel to be racist?
Ba-da-da, ba-da-da, ba-da.
You should be proud.
Is that a Heaven's Gate song?
That was like a Crab Corps song.
For sure.
You should be proud.
I don't know what that quite means.
I didn't explain to them how stupid that was to say.
And I didn't use them as football.
It's good that you didn't expand any of your spoons.
Like, explaining to these kids that they were stupid.
You know, because that takes a lot of mental effort and emotional ardor.
To sort of tell, like, these little skinny twig boys that they were stupid.
Twig boys.
But I didn't use them as human footballs.
But not because I didn't want to.
Like, you didn't, like, cradle them in your arms?
And, like, hold onto them with everything you got?
You didn't spin them so that their laces were facing out?
Uh, but not because I didn't want to.
At that moment, a Mexican man about twice my size walks up.
This is a huge, this is a huge person.
This is a totally real thing.
Uh, a Mexican man about twice my size walks up and says in somewhat broken English, Hey, you have Trump hat on TV?
You vote for Trump?
Yep.
I more cautiously respond with, I did vote for Trump and I am the guy from TV.
His response, quote, Hey!
I knew that was you, S.A.!
Before calling his wife and daughter over to have their picture made with me.
And as soon as that happened, somebody came over with a With a antique camera and began to shoot photos with them and printed these silver prints right there and made a picture with him.
Made a picture?
No, I'm just imagining them at like photo makers with like, you know, cloud backdrops.
Oh yeah, totally.
I like that.
Yeah, no, they had the Laugh Now, Cry Later background because he was a large Mexican.
I fucking love this, like, and yeah, dude knows broken English, you can tell because of the sentence, we made picture with him.
I made picture with him.
Um, I love that in his, like, story about a, one of the good Mexicans, he still has to say he spoke in broken English.
Oh yeah.
Like, no, he was not only Mexican, but like an authentic one.
Like he hadn't assimilated at all.
And he still loved Trump.
I'm pretty sure the Hot Topic kids are still standing in Chili's scratching their heads and about to decide where to get their next piercings if anyone needs proof of the events I just described.
Hey, uh, are you the guys from the Facebook post?
Are you the hot topic guy from the Facebook post?
I knew it was you!
Can I get a picture?
I love the idea that, like, people are like, hey, you're that, like, stocky white guy with a beard and a MAGA hat that we all know, that, like, was on TV.
You're the one we can tell apart from all the others.
Next time you see someone wearing a grunt style MAGA hat, you can be like, hey man I really love your truck cab rants, they're really good.
And that person will probably be just flattered.
I was getting accosted by two sad boys, two sad hip-hop boys in the Chili's when four grown African-American men came around the corner and started singing, I want my country back, country back, country back, I want my country back, country back.
Blood in soil.
I want my blood in soil.
Thank you.
you You will not replace us.
Yeah.
So this is a thing that totally happened.
It's a real thing.
You can go to Chili's and ask them.
They're at Chili's and they'll tell you what happened.
And then he goes on to say, Stop letting politicians and the news and every other bitter person in the world tell you that we have this incredible divide in our country.
If it's there, the only reason is because we allow them to put it there.
I see that lie fall apart right in front of my face every single day.
And that's why I refuse to play the game that so many want me to play.
So I love this argument from a guy who literally sponsored a post to own the libs.
Yeah.
Talking about how we can't let them divide us.
We can't let the mainstream media divide us.
We're all actually Trump voters.
All of us are literally Trump voters.
The Mexicans, the blacks, we're all just Trump voters and it's only the media who is telling you that you didn't actually vote for Trump when we all actually did vote for Trump.
Not only that, but you can't let other people divvy it up.
We gotta divide ourselves.
I have to be the one doing the dividing.
I mean, also, in this post, it's a total caricature of what he thinks a Mexican person is.
And he completely others them in this post.
He others them, but they're also his boosters.
They're his cheerleaders.
Hey, we saw you on all the TV channels.
Hey, you're that guy that lost to the ventriloquist.
We love you.
And then one of his friends came over with a coach's whistle and began to blow it and pouring tequila into my mouth and shaking my head.
So yeah, we're not actually divided.
All of us actually just love Trump.
Yeah.
Duh.
Let's get to comments on this issue.
Klerd Burful on Fox News.
That's not a made-up name.
That's not a name that I'm making up to, like, make fun of white people.
That's this person's username.
Klerd Burful.
Blue Star Boy says, Yeah, Facebook is honest and fair.
I've been locked out for months.
I can't convince them I am me.
I sent them my license and other ID and everything.
I believe Hitler is still alive and running it.
Yep.
Yep.
That's, that's exactly it.
So much going on in this, in this comment.
My, I've been trying to contact my grandchildren for months, but Facebook won't let me because they, they, they will not accept my photo ID.
I like to imagine Clarence being pulled over and they caught me with a license.
I'm just imagining this man sending his ID photo to some random account or email address that is requesting it.
Yeah, this is the new scam.
Forget Prince from Africa.
Forget that.
Just call a random number and say that you're from Facebook and you need their ID and social security number in order to let them keep posting.
I just need the content of your wallet.
There's everything in there.
I just need it so you can continue posting on Facebook.
We are going to stop... We're going to stop publication of your minions memes unless we receive authentic ID from you.
Listen, unless you begin paying us monthly installments, you will not have access to word art.
You only have regular text, no more word art, no more backgrounds.
No, seriously, like if you're...
Say you have money, say you have capital, but you're like one of the good ones.
You're a class traitor against your own class.
Start a shell corporation that exists solely to monitor the authenticity of people's Facebook profiles.
Like, they have these things for trademark patents.
So, if you have any sort of trademark, they just send you mail all the time saying that they will protect your trademark, but they make it look like a bill.
They make it look like you have to pay in order to keep your trademark valid and active.
Just do that for every single boomer Facebook profile.
Millions of dollars.
Instantly.
It's just, for a short fee, you can link people to their Facebook profile by searching for them in your website.
Facebook verified, and it takes you straight to them.
Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
Honestly, I feel like it wouldn't have to be that elaborate.
You could just send them an email saying that their monthly Facebook bill was due, and they would just pay it.
Totally.
I'll tell you how that goes next week.
I believe Hitler is still alive and running, Facebook.
Maybe stop calling them Hitler and Nazis?
Maybe that's why you're banned from Facebook?
No, they really mean that Hitler is alive and is living inside the exoskeleton that is Mark Zuckerberg.
No, I mean, maybe they really mean that, but maybe stop saying it if you want Facebook to reactivate your account.
True, true.
It's not helping.
So on Fox Carolina, which covered this story, this is like Carolina's Fox affiliate, uh, Kimberly Claiborne.
Okay, so let me, let me, there was another post that led me to Blanton Blount's Facebook page that went like viral separately, which is where he got, um, I don't know, chastised at a polling place because he was wearing his MAGA hat, which is a thing that is not allowed if you're a Republican.
Like, if you're white, you're not allowed to wear political statements into the polling place.
But if you were to wear something like, um, like, I love Antifa and Communism and Hillary Clinton.
Like, they allow that, but they don't allow Trump hats in polling places.
Well, I mean, I was lucky that, I was really surprised that they let me wear my skin while I voted.
Because does it get more political than that?
Yeah, the personal is pretty political, so yeah.
Maybe we report them or something?
Like, that's not cool.
Like, I'm glad you got to vote, but still, you know, rules are rules.
Uh, they came in and they just kind of let everyone know that they were black.
How do they do that, ma'am?
How do they do that?
Well, it was pretty obvious.
They weren't wearing a balaclava.
Pretty obvious.
Um, so yeah, this post went viral and people were like, hey, uh, like, we know you are aware of the fact that everybody fucking hates you and hates Trump.
And so you just assume that the reason you can't wear a Trump hat in here is because you are universally despised.
But no, it's like an actual rule.
It's a law.
Like you're not allowed to wear a political clothing or merchandise inside of a polling place.
It's called electioneering.
It's been illegal for several decades.
But, Kimberly Claiborne replied, SMH.
Young people can walk around with their pants pulled halfway down to their crotch, but he can't wear a cap.
SMH.
SMH.
SMH.
We live in a society, folks.
Yep.
Well, there is that trend amongst, you know, the Snapchat generation of them sagging and showing off their I'm with her me undies.
Their Me Too undies?
Their Me Too undies.
Is that bad?
Should I not have made that joke?
No, no.
It probably exists.
Okay.
No, I'm going to say no on that joke.
Okay.
Winner!
Yeah, no.
People, like, remember how you can't wear a Trump hat or else you'll get, like, beat up by, like, thugs?
Well, young people sag their pants to show support of, like, Hillary Clinton.
They...
What was I going to say here?
They're afraid to wear Hillary Clinton shirts or Democrat shirts, so they just carry a blue bandana in their back pocket to show they're part of the Democrats.
Yeah, for sure.
Final comment from this ZZ Top, Billy Gibbons, Blanton Blount debacle.
Ed Cropley says on Fox News, I already tried selling my ZZ Top stuff at a garage sale.
No buyers.
It all wound up in the trash afterwards.
So like sure, it's anecdotal, but I think this still provides like a good snapshot of how people feel about used ZZ Top CDs.
No, actually, Ed was talking about his homemade DZ Top Revlica beard he was trying to sell.
I would buy that.
Well, you should have gone to his garage sale.
Well, now I could just get it out of the trash.
True, true, true.
I don't have to buy anything.
So there was one ZZ Top comment that I didn't include in the slideshow, but it was a woman expressing dissatisfaction with Billy Gibbons' decision to kick Mutt & Blount off his tour, and her recourse was to decide not to have ZZ Top's La Grange play at her funeral.
Which I think is good, because as you get older, like, your social capital kind of diminishes, your spending capital diminishes, because, of course, like, you're surviving on Social Security, you know, have a lot of, like, money to throw around, and so, yeah, one of the only things you can do is decide, like, who to include at your funeral.
Or who to- who to put in your will.
And, um, you know, like, Cut out your dirty grandchildren who still listen to ZZ Top.
It's one of the few things you can do.
What you're not realizing is that her funeral is actually going to be aired on television, so there's going to be royalties.
They have to pay royalties, and they really are screwing them.
Missing out.
Voting with your dollar.
Okay, let's move on to our next topic, also to do with the election.
People probably saw this viral photo going around of a man in a polling place wearing a t-shirt that said Mississippi Justice and had a confederate flag with a noose superimposed over it.
People understandably were like, um hey this is like a racist threat this guy is wearing on his shirt.
It's such a gnarly shirt.
It's a very gnarly shirt.
Did you see this post going around, Annie?
You know, I did see it on my Facebook.
I didn't actually...
Click on the link, but I saw somewhere else that he was like a cop or like an ex-cop or something.
I don't know if that was confirmed.
Oh, it was confirmed.
They found out who this guy was.
This went extremely viral because like, you know, confederate flag is okay and not racist at all until you put a noose over it.
And then all the other confederate flag racists are like, hey dude, you're blowing up our spot here.
The noose has the effect on the confederate flag that like the secret message glasses have the ones that have the red film on it when you put those on you can see like the image that's inside the secret message you know so when you put the noose in front of the uh confederate flag you can see all the blood Yeah, if you look through one of these nooses, you can actually see all the Jews and everyone around you controlling society.
The strings.
You can see all the strings.
So...
Yeah, this guy got fired.
This guy got fired from his job after this shirt went viral.
Lots of clothing oriented politics on today's episode.
You know, people, go ahead.
It's interesting though, because for some reason this was not considered a political shirt.
Like I wouldn't, I feel like if I worked, was working the stations, I wouldn't have let him in with this shirt.
Yeah.
It's literally talking about a state in law.
It's Mississippi justice.
Like that's pretty political.
Well, I think this doesn't count as state politics because this is referencing mob rule and Mississippi would never allow the unjust hanging of a person.
Yeah, and I don't think anybody running for office in Mississippi is on the record endorsing lynching.
I don't know if you're referring to something, but you probably are.
No, they always say, this is off the record, but...
The people running for office in Mississippi?
I'm confident saying that.
yeah I'm confident saying that so yeah this shirt to me is like an obvious like I don't like to use the word terrorism because it's kind of meaningless but it's obviously like a threat of violence against a very specific type of person and And this is like really pushing the boundaries of what people consider free speech.
There are still some people who are like, no, this is free speech.
He shouldn't have been fired.
But most people in comment sections were like, I'm a Republican, I'm Southern, I'm racist, and this shirt still offends me.
Yep.
It's calling for death.
I mean, there's no other use for a lynch.
For a, you know, a noose.
Yeah, and I feel like it's only even offensive to them because kind of like you said, it's like making it very apparent kind of like what this flag stands for.
Yeah, it's like when these like actually instances of like injustice and like racialized violence, which very much still happens in this country, the same people aren't having like the reaction of like being offended by this violence.
In fact, like it's like the opposite.
They're like condoning it or making excuses for it, or even like saying that it's not racialized.
Yeah, it's more offensive to them that a white person is openly endorsing racist violence than the racist violence that actually happens, like you said.
That's a really good point.
Right.
Yeah, because it's subverting their coded language, which is a code in which they speak so they can get away with being fucking hateful, vile assholes without being accountable.
It's like plausible deniability.
Absolutely.
And by wearing a shirt so blatant, it definitely subverts that narrative.
It's like we were talking about earlier.
It's, hey, you know, we can talk about this, but not in mixed company.
We don't say it in mixed company.
Yeah.
We've got to keep it on the down low.
Yeah.
First rule of Lynch Club is, yeah, you don't talk about it.
Yeah it's like lower uh you you lowered the dog whistle too many octaves like keep it up there a little bit um so this is from a CBS 46 article uh probably from Mississippi probably the Mississippi affiliate uh this is a story about the uh
Interesting that they put racist in the title of the article.
That's an interesting, bold stance for CBS to take.
I mean, it took a literal noose on a shirt, but they said racist, which is good, I guess.
Um, it's really interesting to me that like this is what it takes for people to admit that racism exists or that people use the confederate flag as a racist symbol of, you know, white supremacy or a forgotten era of white rule, which is obvious to, I feel like most people, but we just can't like the news media can't openly acknowledge it without pissing them off.
Well, I mean, this is the one where they can't identify with.
Because, I mean, if you talk about, you know, slavery, they're going to talk about the railroads.
But if you talk about, you know... What do you mean?
They'll talk about, you know, Irish slavery.
Okay.
But if you talk about straight-up lynching, like, no one's going to be like, well, you know, white folks were also lynched.
You know that, right?
I hate to detract from your point, but I've literally seen that post a couple times.
That's what I'm saying.
Oh, people were saying that that also happened?
Yeah, like I saw a tally.
They were like, 20,000 black people were lynched and also 500 white people were lynched.
500 Republicans.
Oh, oh, interesting.
Yeah.
Doesn't mention that they were the civil rights activists.
Yeah.
Killed alongside.
They were like, wow, that's wild.
Yeah.
Oh my god.
When they forget the party story they tell, they forget that it did flip and that at one point Republicans weren't that bad.
The caption on this post says, Do you find this shirt offensive?
Many people did, and now the man wearing it while voting in Mississippi has been fired.
And unfortunately this sentence doesn't end out of a canon.
He was an EMT at a hospital, but Oh, turns out, like you referenced, Annie, also a former police officer.
Interesting.
I have the passage from NBC that says, Hickey, this dude's name Hickey, previously worked as a Memphis police officer until resigning in 2010 after being caught with an underage girl and alcohol in his car.
Wow.
Wow.
Nice.
Real fucking classy.
WMC5, who's kicking out the jams, says, went to Hickey's home Thursday night for a comment but no one answered the door.
Wow.
What a fucking creep.
What a twist.
What a twist to this story.
I was telling Tony, I left this as a surprise for Tony, I said he was a former cop, and he resigned.
He wasn't even fired.
He resigned for something amazing that should have definitely landed him in jail.
Yeah!
And Tony got excited, you know, and I was like, not even for what you think, because he wouldn't have gotten Jailed or imprisoned for killing a black person.
He would have gotten paid leave.
Yeah, but he definitely should have and probably would have if he were not a cop gotten, you know, actually imprisoned for being in his patrol car with an underage girl and alcohol.
You can't have like an open container in a car let alone with a minor.
Oh my god.
Wow.
Yeah, there's so many layers of just, like, fucked up to this dude's story.
It's like, where do you begin to, like, dissect it?
And also, I mean, whatever.
All cops are bastards.
Uh, not even fired, though.
Like, resigned.
Yeah.
Yeah, resigned.
He's like, oh, you know, I'll just see myself out.
Um, yeah.
Okay.
It's been real.
Yeah, cool, dude.
Fucking gross.
Yeah, and so now he did work as an EMT at a hospital and then got fired.
I think that's cool and funny.
Let's move to a comment on WAFB, which I think is CBS Channel 9.
Christine Fowler says about his firing, why is this even news?
I bet it would have been okay if his t-shirt had a huge marijuana leaf on it.
Yeah.
Absolutely.
Yeah, it would have, Christine.
Thank you.
That would have been just fine.
Well, she's of course alluding to the fact that the legalized drug industry is ignoring the plight of black and brown Americans who've been incarcerated for selling and using marijuana for decades, while allowing wealthy, privileged folks to take over the industry with no penalty whatsoever.
I'm sure that's what she's referring to.
Very astute comment.
She's referring to how, like, your politics and your own personal views can affect the way you, you know, adhere to the Hippocratic Oath.
And so if he had, like, a big weed t-shirt, he might be like, hey, like, listen, I know you have some anxiety, you have experience with, like, tried CBDs or, you know, maybe, like, a low dosage to help with your migraines.
You know, rub something holistic on it.
And, like... He would have been doing this inside the polling place?
You know, he would have been doing this on the job as an EMT.
Oh, oh, I see, okay.
But with this shirt, he just sees a black person and says, oh no, leave him.
Yeah.
Which, I mean, is Christine saying that's okay, or is that not okay?
Yeah, Christine probably just doesn't want to address it at all, so she's talking about weed.
Yeah.
Which is what I do.
Because it's totally okay to, you know, lynch a person on the job, but not to be high.
Yeah.
Well, they're both bad.
They're both bad.
But nobody talks about the other thing.
Exactly.
Okay, so that's Christine's point, that they're both sides.
They're both just as bad.
Both equally bad.
Yeah, okay.
Makes sense.
This is the last comment from this topic.
Nathan Colton says, In answer to the question, do you find this offensive, this guy's shirt, Nathan Colton says, nope, I like it and will find one to buy.
This is exactly why I don't put where I go to college at or where I work at on social media because snowflakes can't handle dissenting opinions.
Well, good news, Nathan.
I went ahead and looked it up, tried to find the shirt, thought I had to dig a little bit, and it pops up in so many, like, dropship websites.
You can buy it from so many websites right now, ranging anywhere from, like, $15 to $35.
You can also get it on a hoodie or a koozie or anything else you want it on.
After looking for this, you're definitely going to get Instagram ads for Mississippi Justice in your feed.
Oh, for sure.
Yeah, good job.
Good job, Tony.
Um, and I love this argument.
I love this like insidious like clever argument about You're just intolerant.
You're just intolerant of my opinion that we should get to lynch black people, Snowflake.
It's such a tricky, it's such a subversive argument.
Like me, I love free speech.
I want to preserve free speech.
I love the First Amendment, and so I'm like, oh god, I'm at odds with what to do because of his astute comment about free speech.
It's such like a clever argument.
And then you click on Nathan Colton's Facebook profile, the cover photo of which is the Charlottesville Tiki Torch protest.
With bold, distressed letters that says, Jews, or excuse me, you will not replace us.
The cover, the filter on his Facebook profile picture says, it's okay to be white.
And his bio says, pro-white, anti-cultural Marxism, traditionalist, 100% asshole.
That should answer most questions.
Yeah, and it did actually.
It's so bizarre because this picture is the same picture that, you know, we use, that other people use to show how fucking gnarly these people are and how dumb they look.
And he's like, look at us, this is our moment.
This is our tiki torches ablaze.
And he like still thinks that this doesn't scan immediately as 100% racist.
Yeah, that's a good point because I feel like dudes like Nathan, if you call him racist, would be like, I'm not racist.
I just think that there's nothing wrong with being white.
I just care about white people.
Even though he's on here on the internet wanting a picture with a fucking noose on it.
Yeah, I'm not racist.
I just think only white people should be born in America.
I think only white people should be able to live is what Nathan is saying.
Yeah.
He's not racist.
And it's it's so funny because people like this they don't understand the sort of like Psy-op Program that 4chan is trying to do you know successfully to some degree with the whole it's okay to be white thing With the whole free speech thing.
These are like This is like deliberate tactics in order to Belie your own politics.
You try to make the conversation about whether or not you're allowed to have politics or whether or not you're allowed to have thoughts instead of actually arguing for your white supremacist politics or arguing for your sexist politics or whatever.
Yeah.
No, no, I'm allowed.
I'm legally allowed to think the n-word.
You can't stop me.
It's like, yeah, I mean, yeah, sure.
Like, yeah, you can do that.
It's still racist.
Yeah.
So, I mean, this kind of, like, kind of jumps back to the conversation about, like, coded language, right?
And how that has kind of, like, morphed basically since the abolishment of slavery and what that has looked like in this country.
And so, I mean, these, like, it's okay to be white posters.
Just, like, that's what they speak to.
It's like exactly what you said like we're not actually going to take responsibility out loud for our really like disgusting problematic people thoughts but we are still going to use this language to signal to other people that like we are absolutely okay with like you know people being lynched still in this day.
Yeah totally and and it just but it's like you're you're You're fucking up your own cause when your cover photo is like a fucking burning cross, you know?
Yeah.
Yeah.
One thing I really love is, um, he kind of does have a point, you know, he says, I don't even post where I work or live or go to school because my opinion is so crazy.
Like now, if only black people had the option to not apparently be black when they wanted to be safe.
Yeah.
You know, if only they could just not dox themselves when they're being pulled over by police.
Well, maybe if you pulled up your pants, you wouldn't look so black, dude.
True.
Okay, that was an awkward ending to that segment.
Alright, final topic of the night.
A little palate cleanser to wash the blatant racism out of our mouths.
We have a headline here.
We have a story that I just fell in love with.
This is from Breitbart News.
The headline is, Supporters Sing Amazing Grace After Woman Collapses During Trump Rally.
And the thumbnail is a beautiful Aryan woman in a Make America Great Again hat.
Like, clasped hands up to her chin.
Like, swoon admiring.
Yeah, this is like the adult Lil Debbie, you know?
She might be one of the members of the deplorable choir.
I can see that.
But actually, but yeah.
I'm not, that's like half joke, half cautious earnestness.
I do think that the Portables choir is much like a Menudo situation where they just kind of swap them out when they age out and stuff.
Yeah, so like a Fox News slash Menudo situation.
Exactly.
Yeah.
Um, I think this is an utterly psychotic headline.
It's very just like surreal that it's being played as a heartwarming thing.
Yeah.
That a woman collapsed at a Trump rally and like a bunch of supporters began singing at her.
It's... Wow, your heart has turned cold, Alex.
Maybe, I guess.
Maybe if, like, they clapped instead, I could revive, like, Tinkerbell, but they sang, so it's weird for me.
Well, if they knew her name, they would have began to chant her name, but they didn't know.
They couldn't, like, ask, so... Is this a Fight Club reference?
Sure, yeah, yeah.
Her name was Robert Paulson!
Or, like, any movie where they start, like, cheering the person's name.
I just, like...
I don't know this seems like death cult behavior to me.
Totally.
Like somebody collapses at their rally and they all like laid hands on her and started singing the first hymnal that came to mind.
I mean it's better than like a woman passes out and they all throw their snakes at her.
On the floor just take their rattlesnakes out of their purses and bags.
I think I disagree with you guys.
I feel like this is a really beautiful moment of community and I think it really, you know, it illustrates that there are still good people out there who will sing Amazing Grace to you after you have passed out at the Trump rally.
Dang, you're a real sicko, Annie.
All I heard right now was like, it's cool if conservatives go brain dead.
That's all I heard right now.
Jeez, you're a real twisted person.
You know, I'm just, I'm just big on community.
I think it's beautiful.
I just think it's funny, um, that they're singing Amazing Grace, uh, I once was lost, but now I'm found, was blind, but now I see.
Like, like, somebody who is, like, blinded, on the job, and you just start singing at them, like, it's preemptive.
Like, they have to first, like, be he- be healed by God before the song- I feel like it's a little premature to assume that God is gonna heal this woman.
No, it's actually, they were doing a really good favor for them for this woman because this whole Amazing Grace, the whole song is about God showing grace upon you and redemption and forgiveness.
And so they know that because she was at this rally in support of, they know that she's a garbage person and probably has a very thin chance of getting into this like heaven if that's a thing.
So they had to sing Amazing Grace to try to save her soul.
Juice those spiritual points up.
Exactly, yeah.
I also would like to point out that Amazing Grace was written by a man named John Newton, who is a former slave trader.
Oh, cool.
But he was also, he was redeemed in the end, remember, by God and paying off the church.
No, I don't remember that.
That's part of it.
It wasn't there.
But this whole thing is just like, so I remember my grandma, Telling me, because we're staunch Catholics, that after I got my CPR training in Boy Scouts, I remember, I don't know how it came up, but she was saying it's more important for me to baptize this person before I like proceed to try to save their life.
Because if I blow it, I need that person to be saved first.
Yeah, she's like, just spit on them, it's holy water, it's fine.
As long as it's liquid, it's holy water.
Yeah, so you need to, like, let the water stay in there a little bit, cleanse them, and then afterwards, if they revive, then cool, but if not, they're saved.
Well, actually, if you use urine, it's sterile, so it's already fine.
So you're saying urine is holy water?
Urine's holy water if you say it is.
Yeah, that's how that works, actually.
Any liquid can be holy water if you say it is.
You just have to declare it.
That's it.
You stand over it and say you're holy water and urine becomes holy water?
Yeah, exactly.
And that's why if you get athlete's foot from peeing in the shower, it means you're a demon.
I'm actually really surprised that the Catholic Church hasn't branded their own holy water and sold it.
Actually, they do.
You can get holy water from certain locations and sell it.
Yeah.
It seems like a deleted scene from Dogma.
Yeah, you can get Versailles Holy Water and it's like a few dollars for the bottle.
Okay, then that makes perfect sense.
So let's hear some audio.
I mean, we're talking about a song.
We're talking about music.
We're talking about this Trump route.
Let's hear some of it.
Here, I'm going to play it.
Wow.
How sweet the sound, the same.
It's beautiful.
Oh wait, no.
That wasn't the Trump Rally.
That was the African Soweto Gospel Choir.
Oh, okay.
That's where the range came from.
Let's play some of the actual audio.
Here, I found it.
Okay.
Oh no wait, this is for a gun cleaning lube ad.
And when you don't have the time or the place, gun medic blast through buildup.
Oh, no, wait.
This is for a gun cleaning lube.
Add.
Hang on.
Oh.
Wow, are they in a marinade chamber?
There is an ad for Free Mac Media Player at the 32nd mark in this video of people singing Amazing Grace for a collapsed woman at a Trump rally.
Okay, now we're back.
I love it.
I love it.
This is people coming together to just like sing at a fainted woman.
It's brutal.
Did they say what happened to the woman in the end?
Do we know?
I think she was that like...
That one blonde woman with the really short, can-I-speak-to-the-manager haircut, who we all saw the photo of licking her lips behind Donald Trump, and she had just been following Trump on tour, really tired, really tired, really exhausted, too much acid, too much ecstasy, finally succumbed.
Finally fell out.
When the Trump train is rolling.
I love that idea.
There's probably, like, instead of dead heads, there's, like, uh, I don't know, you know, Trump heads, lion heads, whatever, just, like, following Trump on tour.
Chud heads?
What?
Chud heads.
Chud heads.
There you go.
Chud heads.
I think this video actually ends with everyone just, like, peeing on her.
They're like, no, that's a jellyfish.
That's when you get stung by a jellyfish.
Sorry.
I thought it was the same thing.
I'm sorry.
President Donald Trump paused his final campaign rally on Monday after a supporter collapsed in Missouri as supporters sang Amazing Grace.
I love that the story is that President Trump actually stopped talking because a woman fainted.
At one point he says, like, it's fine, we have plenty of time, and that's like an applause line.
He says we have plenty of time, and the crowd's like, yeah!
Alright!
And they call this man a narcissist.
Yeah.
He said we have time, don't worry about it.
And then quote, is there a doctor in the house?
Trump said, waiting for the supporter to get medical attention.
I'm assuming because he saw it in a movie one time.
Yep.
Wait, what do we do here?
Ask for a doctor.
You know, I'm actually surprised it didn't like just like circle her and just say thoughts and prayers at her.
Also, this asshole, everybody who protects you, they all know how to save people.
They all know how to do emergency type first aid.
Any of those people that are guarding you, you don't have to ask for a doctor.
That's really generous of you, Tony, to think that his staff are that capable.
The Secret Service, yeah.
I think they are capable.
They're the best among us, Annie.
What are you saying?
I don't believe I stuttered.
I mean, he's not dead yet, so they're fucking crushing it.
That's true.
That is a good point.
I concede.
Okay, let's move on to comments from this.
Maranatha on the Breitbart comment section, who's responding to the top comment, which was made by a user named Incurable Wound.
I don't remember what it was, but it was just like, hey, Trump's good.
And it had like 600 upvotes.
Incurable Wound is the name of my god flesh worship band.
Yeah, totally.
Incurable Wound is an amazing name for a harsh noise band.
Yeah, totally.
That's like a power electronics band.
I listen to them.
Maranatha, not a cult member at all, says, I sang along as I watched it happen live.
Felt as if I was there.
But President Trump has a way of making us all feel as if we are a part of making America great again!
He never comes off as quote above us, quote better than us, but only as one of us.
And we will go on to keep America great!
Yep.
If there was ever a chance for God to prove himself, it's when an entire nation is singing Amazing Grace.
Like, that woman should have levitated.
She should have just ascended to heaven.
Yeah, they should have all gotten around her and said, light as a feather, stiff as a board.
But then Trump would have had no choice but to lean into the microphone and said, you know, stiff as a board.
Me too.
Stiff as a board?
What is Ivanka around here?
Talking about my penis.
This had 275 upvotes, a comment about Maranatha singing at her TV.
I wish I could have been there.
Also, you were watching this live?
You were already like a loser.
Um, yeah.
This is amazing stuff.
This is, like, probably the weirdest thing we've seen in terms of, like, Trump-worshipping, deplorable comments.
Just singing at your TV because a woman fainted.
Jay, replying to Maranatha, says, Conservatives take care of each other.
We don't need to be forced to by the government, like liberals think.
Amazing Grace is such a beautiful song.
Amazing Grace, America's healthcare.
No, literally.
Their idea of supporting each other and helping each other, taking care of each other, is singing at a downed woman.
You know, I don't mean to out Alex right now, but every once in a while when he's having a bad day, he calls me and he's like, can you do it for me?
Can you do it for me?
And I do an acapella version of Rocketman for him and it's really great and it really lifts his spirits.
Wow, Tony, can you just give us like a five second clip of that?
You know, it's funny because I should be able to, but I can't do it right now.
I'm already, like, really healthy.
If Tony did that, like, I would probably ascend to some sort of superhuman state, so... I couldn't do, like, the actual lyrics.
I could just do, like, the noises that sound like it.
Like, that's fucking nailed it, right?
Yeah.
There's two things that I love about this.
We don't need to be forced to by the government.
You know how Obamacare was forcing Americans to sing at each other to help cure cancer?
Well, I wasn't doing it back then.
I wasn't singing at my cancerous wife.
I find it sort of, uh, repellent.
I find it sort of, like, uh, offensive that the government would force me to sing at a sick person, you know?
But I will do it on my own.
Yeah.
I actually do it while she's asleep, because that's the best way to get messages to people.
Incepting your wife to cure her own cancer?
Yeah.
I, like, whisper singing into her ear.
Um, yeah, no, like, I can't wait for the final, like, Repeal of Obamacare to go through?
The repeal of Obamacare to go through where it's replaced with just a video of Trump singing Sinatra's My Way?
And it'll be America's National Health Care Plan?
Oh my god.
There is video of him trying to sing, right?
On SNL or some shit.
And it won't even be audio of him singing, it'll just be him lip syncing along to Sinatra's My Way, but pointing thumbs at his chest as My Way comes on.
Oh, no.
You know my prediction for like, I guarantee you that by the time 2020 comes around, there will be a video of Trump flossing.
For sure.
Like teeth?
No, flossing like the dance while lip-syncing my way.
No, yeah, it's going to be Barron teaching Trump how to floss.
God, and then we have to vote for him.
Is Barron going to be wearing a really tight backpack in that video?
Probably in some, like, slipper sneakers.
I think that if Trump tried to floss he would actually die, so maybe he should try.
Yeah, I mean, he could probably just, like, move it, like, do his arms, you know how his arms just, like, hang straight down by his side, like, he walks around, like, lurch?
Yeah.
Like, if he just got the torso movement down and, like, a good hip forward and backward, he could really get those arms whipping around, I think.
If you actually, you just have to get two Secret Service agents, again, to hold his arms up at an angle and let him go, and they just kind of go like a metronome.
Like a Newton's Cradle?
Yeah, you gotta hit the angle just right, and he'll go for days.
Okay, let's move on.
Let's get through this.
So there were like really uninteresting comments in the Breitbart comment section that were just like, oh, we're so good for singing.
Like, we are the best.
And liberals would never sing at a fainted woman.
They would pick her pockets for tax money.
But there was like an interesting through, like an interesting deviation from the conversation because what happens in these comment sections is that there will be one top comment and then the entire conversation underneath or the entire comment, the entire conversation about the video will like an interesting deviation from the conversation because what happens in these comment sections is that Because it's the top comment.
So people just reply to the comment instead of posting a new comment.
It's the fucking worst.
So, it's interesting the sort of trajectories that these conversations take.
And... Adernallis.
What?
Adernallis.
Is that a word?
You're going to college, Annie.
Is that a word?
Adernallis?
Yeah.
I don't know.
This sounds like the time that my friend pronounced ominous, ominous.
Uh, eternalists are mentarius.
It sounds like some like fake Greek shit, like...
Yeah.
This is like a video game character or something.
Says, Kentucky Strong!
MAGA!
Voted here in Covington, Kentucky this morning, and my wife just left to go down parenthesis.
She worked late.
Thank you for clarifying.
My adopted sons voted too.
And you're like, it's really interesting that you refer to them as your adopted sons.
Like, this is a very Royal Tenenbaums thing to do.
Well, you know what that means, right?
Uh, no.
Well, I mean, I know because I've read the rest of the comment, but what are you, what are you saying?
Oh, I'm saying that, I mean, if he was referring to them as his adopted sons, that means that they're brown.
Yeah.
This is the infamous, what's, what's that word that they, that the right wing uses to describe empathy?
Uh, virtue signaling.
This is the infamous, uh, virtue signaling inaction.
Yeah.
My adopted sons, like, Like you're not a good enough person to just call them your sons, but you want to seem like a good person for adopting sons?
So you call them your adopted sons?
It's a really weird catch-22.
Uh, well, it's just, the thing is, this is a bad joke that went awry.
It was years and years ago.
His friend was like, hey man, bet you can't buy black people anymore.
And he goes, bet.
And then he had to raise two kids.
I don't think I'm allowed to laugh at that joke.
I mean, he was in a tough place.
He simultaneously wanted to adopt a kid, but they only had brown kids left, but he still had a lawn to mow, so he had to pull the trigger.
He goes on to say, My wife's entire family voted.
We all voted straight red!
And straight is spelled like the Strait of Hormuz.
I am white.
We guessed that actually.
My wife and her kin are Asian.
My sons are black.
Capital B, black.
And he's allowed to say the B word because they're his sons.
My sons are black.
Parentheses.
Yeah, it wasn't always easy with this situation, but we managed.
Told you it was hard when it starts as a joke, as a terrible joke.
What'd you say, Annie?
I was like, we still managed to vote straight Republican.
It was tough.
It was tough forging three different signatures, but we did it.
Hey listen, son, before you go out there, I want you to know that the Democrats actually were the ones that owned slaves.
Yeah.
So have fun.
Just like screaming at your kids to get off the Democratic plantation?
Oh my god.
You ever adopt three black kids to prove you're not racist?
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah, it wasn't easy.
That might be the blind side.
Well, see, she was just pretending to adopt a black kid.
She had it easy.
It's actually really hard to be around black people, like you were saying, Tony.
Yeah, super difficult.
It wasn't always easy with this situation, but we managed.
We made it work.
I wasn't allowed to say the N-word, but they were.
It was hard.
They kept on saying it to each other and left me out of it, and I was like, This is totally a situation where the dad was telling the kids not to say the N-word, like... Yeah.
You can't say that!
If I can't say it, you can't say it.
Listen, you should lead by example.
Stop being racist!
Listen, if you want me to be your real dad, you're gonna have to stop saying it.
Why does any of this matter?
Just to show you all, but mostly the demon rat libtards who claim it is only white bigoted slash racists that vote for Trump and Republicans?
P.S.
I know my son's red-pilled many along the way to 2016 and now 2018 elections parentheses will keep doing so for 2020.
So they added many black votes and younger votes in general!
What kind of like gnarly gaslighting was happening in that household?
Every morning.
The kids were like, Hey dad, could you please stop referring to us as your adopted son?
And he's like, that's really divisive and racist.
Every morning that the dad was like, Hey guys, I'm not trying to say anything.
I'm just saying that, you know, this guy shot a black guy the other day and the guy who shot him looked a lot like your friend, Michael Jordan.
So have fun at school.
Um, I like this PS.
I know my son's red pilled many along the way to 2016.
Like I don't, I don't speak jive, but I just assume that that's what they were saying.
To each other.
Vote Republican!
A honky.
Yeah.
Do it.
And then, replying to this, is Thank You Founding Fathers, whose avatar is Trump with, like, the hat- what are these glasses?
The thug?
The thug?
Oh, the lokes?
Some lokes?
No, but it's the meme.
What's the meme where it comes to thug life?
Thug life?
Yeah, thug life.
It's the thug life, like, you know, 8-bit lokes.
Two terms for Trump.
Hey friend, from Louisville myself, my wife is black, our daughter obviously mixed.
Actually it wasn't obvious because you didn't mention your whiteness until you made us fill in the blanks.
I didn't get- Sorry, not your blackness, your whiteness, but your non-blackness.
Yeah.
I didn't get cucked, our daughter's mixed!
Obviously, do I sound like a cuck to you?
My wife is black, our daughter obviously mixed.
I don't know what you assumed.
Oh yes, some hard times for sure.
Be blessed!
God, you know, I just want you to know that I could have married a white woman.
I could have done that.
But like, it's hard being with you that you're black and all.
But we persevere.
You know, I feel like it's legit child abuse for this man to be raising a black child.
Yeah, totally.
We have those comments from time to time where it's like genuinely depressing that somebody is using their wife and daughter or son as props for their supposed lack of racism because it's never anti-racism.
No, it's never like actually standing against racism.
It's more like I can't be racist.
I had sex with with a black person.
Yeah, I can't be racist, which is also why the founding fathers weren't racist.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Wow.
We all got a little bit of a.
A little bit of president in us, you know?
I just, I, I, what are they like, okay, let's take our cynical leftist goggles off here.
What are they actually saying when they say it's hard to raise black kids?
What are they saying here?
I wish they were saying something good like, no man, raising a black kid is very hard in America right now.
Like, my friends, uh, you know, are saying racist shit around them all the time.
Um, like, I boycotted the NFL right in front of them because one of them spoke out of turn or didn't even speak out of turn.
You know, it... It's not coming from empathy.
It's really hard looking at the disappointment in my daughter's eye when I say Negro Felon League.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, no, I definitely think that you're onto something there.
Like, the hard times are that, like, their children think that they're racist.
Yeah, it's not just that being, you know, black in America is the hard part.
It's being black in America and having you as a dad.
Totally.
Totally.
Last comment.
Lighten the mood here a little bit.
Same comment section.
Same weird, like, It's a tangential trajectory that this comment section talk about like people virtue signaling about how they're not racist and still voted for Trump.
General Steve Trevor says, I'm an LGBT female.
I voted all red.
Yep.
So this is like, I said this on Facebook, these are the Trump voters that the mainstream media doesn't want you to see.
They don't want you to see LGBT females like General Steve Trevor who vote straight ticket, straight of Hormuz ticket, all red.
All the way.
I'll take all red, please.
What is black and white and red all over?
LGBT females ballots.
Yep.
Excellent.
That's a terrible popsicle stick joke.
This isn't even, like, this isn't even a troll comment.
This is somebody, like, genuinely thinking they can pass themselves off as an LGBT female with the username General Steve Trevor.
Yeah, because I highly doubt that General Steve Trevor just hasn't had a chance to change her username.
Yeah.
I don't think that's the case here.
You don't think it's weird that an LGBT female would call themselves an LGBT female?
Yeah.
So that's what you check in the box, right?
I have a double X chromosome.
I am a female LGBT.
Yeah.
I think this is normal.
I think this is a real, a real female.
Checks out.
Yeah.
Okay.
Uh, fun episode.
