Why So Saarious? (Unlocked)

I'm still settling into my new place/state, so here's a bizarre Patreon-only episode from last year. This week the Cult takes on two candidates for office openly advocating for pedophilia, one of whom can't stop posting on Facebook, and the other of whom created entire forums dedicated to the cause. The Washington Post somehow makes this the fault of a Democratic governor. Also: Bernie Sanders advocates for Disneyland workers, and that injustice will not stand

	We have room, yeah.
	Yeah, we got room.
	We got room to cough?
	Well, you'll make room, I'm sure.
	I'll cough in this weird looking pillow.
	Yeah, don't do that.
	Yeah.
	I wouldn't recommend that.
	Yeah, it's probably the one you... It's the one I put between my legs.
	Yeah, I was gonna say that, actually.
	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.
	So stay tuned, guys.
	- We're gonna show you exactly what it looks like when you're in the middle of the stormy deserts.
	All their environment full stars.
	Stay tuned. - All right, I'm Alexander Edwards.
	I'm Mountain Matt.
	And I'm Tony Boswell.
	And we are Minion Death Cult.
	Go!
	Wow, dude.
	Alright, so we got a wild, wild show for you folks.
	First half of the show is all about when posting goes wrong.
	Literally, two different Candidates for public office posted their way onto the news and we're reaping the benefits.
	We're talking about two of the candidates.
	One of them is for a state senator.
	The other one is for a Uh, Congress.
	For Congress.
	So we got a congressional candidate and a state senator candidate both making open comments about pedophilia on the internet.
	One of them just can't stop posting on Facebook, which is one of my favorite things about this story.
	That's pretty good.
	Yes, so this is of course going to be another episode filled with problematic stuff.
	Yes.
	Stuff about sexual assault, stuff about, you know, child abuse, to put it nicely.
	So once again, if my internet will load, which it has not been doing lately, Once again, if you or anyone you know needs help, you or they can contact the RAIN hotline.
	Uh, for victims of sexual assault, abuse, or incest, uh, at 1-800-656-HOPE.
	1-800-656-HOPE, or 1-800-656-4673.
	Cause, I guess when the smartphone generates the, the keypad, it still puts those letters on there, but uh, yeah.
	- 800-656-4673.
	'Cause I guess when the smartphone generates the keypad, it still puts those letters on there.
	But yeah, either way, if you need help, that's the place to go.
	Okay, we are not going to dip into the worst parts of these two men, because it is stuff that I would never read out loud.
	But it should probably be said that, like, they say... One of these guys says, like, probably the worst type of shit you can possibly say at all.
	Yeah, we'll allude to it as we go through the story.
	I'll maybe try to give...
	uh a vague example but that's what the first half of this episode is about the funny part of this super fucked up topic comes with just these these two men being idiots like not only are they disgusting monsters they're also just fucking stupid so that's kind of what we're going to be focusing on in that first half of this episode second half all about our boy Bernie
	Uh... That boy Bernie.
	Goin' to Disneyland.
	Fightin' for the rights of Anaheim workers.
	Bernie goes to Disney, dude.
	So that rules.
	Listeners may know that I myself am a Teamster and we are currently experiencing some labor disputes with UPS.
	You might have read the news about it.
	93% of us voted to authorize a strike if necessary.
	Basically what that vote means is it gives The Negotiations Committee, the authority to call a strike if the negotiations are at an impasse.
	That rules.
	Uh, can I say, I think I can say fuck UPS.
	Yeah.
	Fuck UPS.
	Yeah, fuck them, dude.
	Uh, I think it would be great if we struck, to be quite honest.
	You know what's cool about that 93 percentage, uh, initiate a strike?
	What?
	That, you know, 7 out of every 100 motherfuckers that works around you is goddamn scabs.
	Seven out of how many?
	Hundreds.
	I don't know about that.
	Three and a half out of every fifty.
	The vote isn't saying that they won't strike.
	Maybe some people's money's tighter, they can't afford to strike.
	If they actually do make the decision to cross the picket line, that's very bad.
	I'm part of this Facebook group about the contract negotiations, and things get pretty wild in that group.
	Yeah.
	It's all those, like, wars go on online now.
	Not, like, in the streets anymore, right?
	Uh, well, if we strike, we'll see.
	Damn, son.
	There was, I was reading some comment from, because the last UPS, the last Teamsters strike against UPS was in 1997, and one dude was saying, How, uh, you know, when we strike, it depends on the building, but, uh, sometimes management tries to actually drive the trucks and deliver and shit, which is hilarious.
	What the fuck, dude?
	Be almost worth letting them do it just to see what happens.
	Watch me fuck up.
	That's so funny.
	Yeah, one dude was saying that his manager at the Ontario building, I think it was Ontario, uh, at the Ontario, California building, uh, was driving a package car and got shot at.
	Whoa!
	During the strike.
	So.
	Dang.
	We'd never advocate violence on this podcast, but hey, I think that's pretty cool.
	Alright, so yeah, those are the two topics.
	Let's get right into it.
	Shall we?
	So, our first boy, our first beautiful, idiotic boy.
	Beautiful, blonde-haired, blue-eyed boy.
	Yeah.
	Is the incel kind of vibe I get when I see his face.
	Well, that's a correct vibe to get.
	Because dude literally ran entire websites dedicated to incels.
	Our first dude is Nathan Larson.
	He's a congressional candidate in Virginia.
	I'm just going to read a little bit here from the Huffington Post.
	The headline of this article is, Congressional Candidate in Virginia Admits He's a Pedophile.
	That's quite a headline.
	That is a banger of a headline.
	Not burying the lead at all, Huffington Post.
	And maybe clickbait even.
	In a phone call, Larson confirmed that he created the now-defunct websites suaped.org and incelocalypse.today.
	So, suaped stands for suicidal pedophiles.
	Suaped.org, incelocalypse is a portmanteau, of course.
	These are chat rooms that served as gathering places for pedophiles and violence minded misogynists like himself.
	So in some articles, it actually lists his comments.
	It features his comments, which are.
	Like we alluded to at the beginning of the episode, uh, the most reprehensible stuff you'll ever read.
	Like, it's not this, like, alt-right, lower-the-age-of-consent stuff, which is obviously horrible.
	Um, no, this is, like, graphic, um...
	Like fiction.
	Like sexual fiction.
	Like penthouse form, but for horrible, horrible people.
	Filled with all the kinds of graphic slang you can think of for child sex slaves, women sex slaves, etc.
	So that's what this dude is all about.
	Just so you know.
	HuffPost contacted Larson after confirming that his campaign website shared an IP address with these forums, among others.
	What a fucking idiot.
	Yeah, dude.
	Uh, yeah, I was uploading my dog-killing videos to the campaign Instagram.
	What the fuck?
	Oh my god.
	Dude, guys, private servers.
	Come on, haven't we learned anything yet?
	Encryption.
	Come on.
	What's the other thing?
	Proxy servers?
	Like, come on, dude.
	Like, this guy's a fucking idiot.
	Total noob.
	Total noob, dude.
	Not even good at it.
	He looks so creepy.
	He looks greasy.
	He has these beady little eyes.
	His forehead to, like, lip ratio is crazy.
	Yeah, it's gnarly.
	He's giving, like, the smile that's been lampooned in a lot of videos.
	It's the smile that white people give around the office, you know, when they see somebody.
	It's just the tight-lipped, like, turned up slightly at the corners.
	No movement to the eyes.
	On the phone, he was open about his pedophilia and seemingly unfazed about his long odds of attaining government office.
	Quote, a lot of people are tired of political correctness and being constrained by it.
	Where have we heard this before?
	Oh yeah, on every single episode.
	It's the internet, that's what it's all about.
	It's like a blanket sentiment for any dissenter, whether he's suck or not.
	I feel like this guy got the confidence to do this because he knows that thousands of people go to his websites.
	So he's like, I'm not alone.
	I have a base.
	This guy has a base.
	A lot of people were saying, well I don't know about a lot of people, but it was a couple comments that were made in some of the articles that I was reading about this dude.
	He's technically not an incel.
	He had a wife.
	He's got a daughter that he's not allowed to see.
	um that he has written about online but uh people were saying that he was just clearly using the incel community to like express his pedophilia because it's like the only place that's like as wretched uh as pedophilia is so he was like You know, stirring the pot in there, so to speak.
	But yeah, a lot of people are tired of political correctness.
	He's just about free speech.
	People prefer when there's an outsider who doesn't have anything to lose and is willing to say what's on a lot of people's minds.
	You're not talking for me, dude.
	Well, it was so crazy.
	These guys are supposed to be in a basement on a computer and that's it.
	They're supposed to exist only there.
	Like that whole trope.
	That's where they're supposed to be, you know?
	But no, this guy is in a suit in front of an American flag running for office.
	He's like not even... He's like, yeah, yeah, I did.
	Yeah, but also I have some really ambitious, you know, ideas for the infrastructure.
	Whatever happened to the days when politicians like hid their pedophilia?
	Yeah, I love this idea that he's running as an outsider.
	You gotta separate the art from the politician.
	Yeah.
	You gotta separate the politician from the art.
	Or whatever.
	Yeah, I love this idea that he's running as an outsider.
	Like, he's not taking any money from any of the anti-incest networks or anti-rape networks so you know that when he gets elected he will actually act on those impulses.
	He won't just, you know, pay lip service to pedophilia.
	He'll actually follow through.
	Definitely.
	He's gonna follow through with some shit.
	I love how, um...
	I love how supposedly, like, if you occupy these right-wing spaces, like, oh, it's the LGBT community that are leading the slippery slope towards pedophilia.
	Right.
	But yet it always turns out to be conservative white men.
	Yeah.
	What's up with that?
	Strange.
	Go figure, huh?
	Every single time, man.
	Like, I hate to run the stereotype game, but come on.
	Break the cycle, you know?
	I wonder what it is about dominating somebody smaller than you that appeals to the right wing.
	But yeah, you were alluding to the LGBTQ thing.
	I know someone that gave the same argument, like, that, you know, this person is a gay person who thinks that gay is learned, not born into you, or whatever.
	And they said, well, you know, we start treating gays like they're born gay, we have to start treating pedophiles like they're born pedophiles.
	And like, that's the slippery slope you allude to, right?
	Not that specific.
	That's part of it, though.
	The slippery slope is toward the normalization in general of degenerate behavior, which the right would view as homosexuality, bisexuality, transgenderism.
	That's not transgenderism.
	That's just trans people.
	So what they're saying when they talk about the slippery slope is like, oh, you're you're eroding all morals and then what's left?
	Yeah.
	And what's funny is about people like the person you're talking about is unfortunately, self-hatred comes in all shapes and sizes and shades and the whole nine.
	So there's a lot of self-hating people out there like that person who obviously has some self-hatred going on.
	And I've heard it talked about, you know, it's it's especially gay people like like they like there are a lot of gay conservative, like right wing And they're self-hating people, and that's a bummer.
	Yeah.
	It sucks.
	It's really sad.
	Can you imagine what it would be like if that person was left-handed?
	Just like the flogging they would do to their left arm all day?
	Exactly.
	They're like trying to walk this way, but their brain wants them to go the other way.
	Um, yeah, so, uh, there was a very interesting take that the Washington Post decided to run with about this.
	So, uh, back to Nathan Larson.
	Nathan Larson is a convicted felon.
	He's a convicted felon because he Probably, like, the coolest thing he's done, which is ironic, but yeah, he was arrested for threatening to kill the president.
	He was arrested for threatening to kill Bush and Obama.
	And he spent, like, you know, some time in prison and all that.
	But, like I said, he is a resident of Virginia.
	That's where he's running.
	So, right here I have from the Washington Post, Larson's criminal record precluded him from running for office until last year when Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe, parentheses D, parentheses Democrat, parentheses demon rat, Restored voting and other civil rights to thousands of convicted felons across the state.
	Wow.
	That is literally the slant of this Washington Post article.
	That's crazy.
	The whole article is about how Terry McAuliffe did a bad, bad thing by personally signing this guy's petition to run for office, essentially.
	You know what?
	Honestly?
	If the price we pay for felons being treated like people is that we get to public shame awful people like this I'm that's worth it for me.
	Yeah, I'm gonna agree with you on that's worth it for me.
	Thanks for articulating like my sentiment It's such a weird take because the dude was not a convicted sex offender.
	He should be but he's but he's not He like yeah, he sent a bad letter to the president yeah, and I Somehow, like, all felons are pedophiles now?
	Is what this article is, like, positing?
	Right.
	I mean, that's that kind of weird, like, bait-and-switch kind of thing with the language or whatever.
	None of the pedophiles can vote.
	Yeah.
	Personally, I don't think we should let anybody vote because they might be a pedophile.
	Like, this guy was stupid enough to out himself, but there's so many pedophiles out there and we're just letting them vote.
	That's absolutely true.
	We're letting them order pizza from the Pizza Gate.
	I can't wait for there to be an ironic pizza shop opening called Pizza Gate.
	Fuck.
	Where would it do well?
	And just all the, sorry.
	What city would that do well in?
	Like Long Beach maybe?
	I don't know.
	Like they ironically accept it.
	New York probably.
	New York would think it was funny.
	Like all the menu items would just be like a normal pizza restaurant except there's quotes around it.
	So it's like, I'll take the breadsticks for five dollars.
	Comes with a side of ranch.
	Do you want anchovies?
	Dude, that's sick even for Pizzagate.
	Don't say anchovies.
	Are you serious right now?
	What?
	You hate anchovies?
	I'm just joking that anchovies are like an even more monstrous menu item than everything else.
	People had opinions on this because the Washington Post told them how to feel about this issue.
	So these are comments from the Washington Post article on the Washington Post website.
	Mortal Coil says, uh, this idiot sounds like a coddled mama's boy living in his parents' basement after making a hash of his life and either lacking a father with a spine or having one that is henpecked.
	Oh my god, dude.
	I love how you read this article about a veritable monster, a monster of a human being who wants to enslave women and children and come to the conclusion that it's probably a woman's fault.
	Yeah, yeah.
	I love the projection on this one, dude.
	Oh, that dad that this guy had was henpecked!
	What the hell?
	If only he had had a stronger man in his life, maybe he wouldn't be such a... I don't know, pussy?
	Like, what is that?
	What do they think this guy is?
	Maybe if his dad was a no-fapper and, like, showed him how to be a real man, you know?
	Store your energy?
	Store it in your balls.
	I don't know maybe this if the dad had been more of a man He would have impregnated the mother with twins And then they could have killed each other before reaching adulthood and we wouldn't be in this or even even like full development maybe in the womb but like The idea that this guy needed more toxic masculinity like this is this he needed some of that.
	Can you imagine this guy if he had more of that in his life?
	He might have the audacity to run for office as an open pedophile.
	Yeah and people have that confidence.
	We were talking about it before recording like what would why would this guy run and it's literally just to get his message out it's literally just to Actually, I don't know, because I think he was outed for it while he had already started running.
	He still definitely wants to legalize that sort of shit.
	That interview, if you can find it, is supremely awkward.
	They're at his front door interviewing him, and he looks...
	Like, when he's talking to them, he looks like he's half asleep, and he's just like, what?
	And the interviewer, the reporter, is like, you know, what about the daughter's rights?
	What about the child's rights?
	You know, because his argument is like, oh, it's, you know, we should get the state out of our lives and let us marry our daughters.
	Like that's his argument.
	And so she was like, well, what about the daughter's rights?
	What about the child's rights?
	And he was like, well, I think that should be up to her father to decide for her.
	Because this is only, this is only one step.
	I'm going to take it here.
	This is only one step beyond the, um, Dads against dating daughters mentality.
	This is one step beyond the answer to the door with a gun.
	This is one step beyond.
	Only one step.
	This is one step beyond the last track on fucking Kanye's record where he's doing exactly that.
	Yeah, yeah, that last track was really weird.
	That whole last track is all about him, like, he's worrying about his fucking five-year-old daughter developing.
	Yeah.
	And, like, he, like, doesn't want her to be, like, a slut.
	And how he'll have to beat the dudes up.
	I wonder why he likes Donald Trump so much.
	A man who openly speculated about his infant daughter's breasts.
	Insane.
	But go ahead, people.
	Keep on listening to that fucking record.
	Yeah.
	Ah, fuck.
	I don't know, dude.
	This shit is...
	You're right.
	You're making a lot of noises over there.
	I just...
	You're right, dude.
	You're blowing my mind right now.
	I'm not a Kanye apologist.
	Well, no, he...
	This is one step beyond, like, wanting to have...
	You know, protecting your daughter so much that you're the only one that can touch her and do anything with her.
	Well, I mean, in that...
	It's not even...
	It's like a half step, because if you look at those virginity balls that dads literally escort their own daughters to... I don't even know what you're talking about, but I can imagine what you're talking about now.
	Okay, I'm gonna level with you guys and be real.
	I would rather my daughter date a Republican than a member of MS-13, as long as that Republican's me.
	Yeah, uh... Exactly.
	Alright, moving on.
	Oh my god, dude.
	The rest of this comment from Mortal Coil goes...
	Probably spends too much time on the internet reading wingnut BS and spending, quote, alone time on porn sites.
	In short, a real loser.
	Yeah, eh?
	Yeah.
	Like this guy, this guy talks about, uh, child slaves.
	Probably plays D&D.
	They got all sorts of weird shit in that game.
	He's a real dork.
	Dude, Mortal Coil is such a loser that they've been on the site for so long they were able to get the name Mortal Coil.
	They've been posting on Washington Post for so long.
	They're multiple day posters.
	And this guy's the loser.
	I mean he is.
	It's like if he read any other article other than this weird Washington Post article about how Nathan Larson is a pedophile therefore Terry McAuliffe is a bad guy.
	If he read any other article about this guy, he would know that this guy maintained websites, owned websites, way worse than like the generic porn site that he's talking about.
	This is like dark web bad shit.
	This is a crime.
	This is perpetuating a crime.
	Bad crime.
	Federal crime.
	Hmm, DC says.
	Oh boy, where do we start?
	Voting is a privilege and a right.
	Okay, those are two diametrically opposed ideas.
	Yeah, what the fuck?
	A right you lose when you become a convicted felon.
	Politicians who are soft on crime slash criminals, I'm looking at you, Terry, think that bringing back criminals' right to vote will endear them to the criminal class and garner more votes for their side.
	You got something to say, Tony?
	Fuck you!
	Yeah.
	People don't treat felons like people.
	Like, once someone fucks up...
	Like they're no longer given... Fuck you.
	This is America.
	They're humans.
	Absolutely.
	I'll talk about it real fast.
	My mom is a felon.
	She had a non-violent crime.
	It was a bullshit ass thing.
	She spent a year in prison.
	How can you be a felon?
	And only get a one-year sentence?
	Like, if being a felon is bad enough to take away your right to vote or run for office, but they're only going to put you in prison for a year, something seems wrong about that.
	Well, she was, you know, convicted.
	She was sentenced to serve one because she was older when she went in, you know?
	She wasn't Wylan.
	Like, the state thinks that two years is an apt punishment, also taking away your right to vote forever.
	Yeah, it's a tool.
	It's a tool to disenfranchise voters.
	It's a tool to strip their voting rights away.
	Which, voting, you know, doesn't do a goddamn thing anyway, so... Well, it strips your way... Once your label is a felon, it strips away a lot of your rights.
	Oh yeah, not just that.
	Don't check that box.
	Fuck that box.
	Yeah, just don't fucking check... It is none of your employer's business if you're a felon or not.
	Maybe if the crime pertained to something you're doing, I don't know, but no, it's really none of their business.
	That is, you know, it perpetuates the fucking cycle.
	You pin people down, and you have them by the throat, and they can't breathe, and it's because every year you make a filing error and start garnishing her checks, and she can't pay her fucking rent and lives in a shack.
	That's Southern California.
	That's real life.
	God, that's so fucked.
	That's my mom.
	That's sad as fuck.
	And it sucks.
	She just has a shame because she's like, I don't want anyone to know.
	You didn't even do anything crazy.
	You're fine.
	Don't check that box.
	She shouldn't be judged for this, you know?
	And just like everybody, people are people.
	Yeah.
	People make mistakes.
	Rehabilitation is the way.
	We need to help people.
	We need to build people up.
	We don't need to fucking keep them under your goddamn thumb.
	Like, fuck that.
	People are people depending on how many face tattoos they have.
	Yeah.
	If you get more than three, then you instantly become an animal.
	Yeah.
	What were you gonna say, man?
	Oh, I was just gonna say, like, like you said, don't check that box if you're a... Listeners, if you're a felon and you're applying for a job that doesn't require a background check, don't check that fucking box.
	Just don't fucking do it.
	No, it's even more than that, though.
	Well, I'm just saying about employment, but there's way... It's even more than that, though.
	It's way bigger, yeah.
	It's... people need to stop holding it against people, period.
	Oh, yeah.
	We should be able to check the box.
	You should be able to say, yeah, I'm a felon.
	Sure.
	And that should not... that should not really affect you.
	I'm just talking about it in the hearing now.
	Help yourself a little, please.
	I love this last part of... That's not even the full comment.
	It's just the first half of the comment.
	Sorry for that tangent.
	No, it's fucking pertinent.
	Uh... Yeah, uh... Doo-doo-doo...
	Yeah, politicians who are soft on crime slash criminals think that bringing back criminals' right to vote will endear them to the criminal class and garner more votes for their side.
	Okay, I've heard this before.
	I've never heard the phrase criminal class.
	That's a really interesting idea.
	Yeah.
	That's a really interesting idea.
	Some people are just criminal.
	They're just a class of criminals.
	Within that tax bracket, you are a criminal.
	And I think it's also interesting that this person thinks, you know, obviously so low of felons and quote criminals, but somehow thinks that they're loyal enough to vote for a politician who like gives them the right to vote again as if as if Most people don't vote in general anyway, you know?
	But I think it's an interesting idea that, oh, you'll give these dirty, despicable, lying, thieving bastards the right to vote and they're yours for life.
	They'll trust you as, you know...
	That's maybe that's is that a I don't know is that a bad thing like You know from from whom to see California I was really pleased like going to the voting booth this week like ran into people ran into people I knew it was like cool seeing people in the community thing like alright cool.
	Hope you got a couple You know, batting for our team, you know.
	It was tight.
	I was there for 20 minutes, that's all.
	Six people I knew.
	I like that fucking rule.
	I like that De Leon made it to the runoff.
	I think.
	Yeah.
	I haven't checked it.
	Oh wow, really?
	Yeah, he was number two last time I checked.
	What?
	Vote for that dude.
	Yeah, well Newsom's gonna win.
	Well, I'm talking about Senate.
	Oh, Senate.
	I'm all, hey, I'm pretending like I know what I'm talking about.
	Hey, I didn't vote.
	Um, actually I did and I had a mail-in ballot.
	Yeah, me too.
	And, um, but I didn't fill it out.
	Oh, so you didn't vote.
	No, no, it was filled out.
	So like I technically was, I voted technically.
	You spaced on the date.
	No, my girlfriend did it for me.
	Tight.
	Oh, cool.
	And she signed my name.
	So that way you get to keep your anarchist cred.
	Right.
	She voted against my will.
	And we voted and we committed a federal crime.
	Pretty cool.
	Clinton-era politicians are washed up and will continue to lose elections based on actions like giving criminals voting rights.
	This guy's lost.
	Do you know how the Clintons were known for their expansion of criminal rights?
	Yep.
	No, actually.
	I'm aware of the boom of the private prison complex, though, that occurred under Clinton.
	Oh yeah, there was like a three strike law, too.
	Remember that whole thing?
	I think that happened.
	It was like the whole super criminal thing.
	Dude, they stay.
	I think that was a dream you had, actually.
	I figured it out.
	No, when she was calling young black people, underage black people, super criminals, she meant that they're like super.
	They're great.
	It was actually a positive thing.
	Well, they're like the best of that class.
	The best kind of person from the criminal class.
	They're like Luke Cage, you know?
	He's a good guy, but he's definitely criminal.
	They're like the Punisher, which all the cops love.
	Fuck the Punisher, dude.
	For some reason.
	Fuck that shit.
	Mmcarhelp says... What?
	Another mm name?
	Yeah, it's weird.
	Mmcarhelp says, I disagree with several of his views.
	Referring to Nathan Larson.
	Outspoken pedophile.
	Rape apologist.
	Rape activist.
	He's out there.
	I disagree with several of his views.
	Well, that's good to know.
	Car help?
	Maybe just stop the comments after that.
	But it keeps going.
	I disagree with several of his views, but he's got a point though, about courts often being too biased towards females, especially in child custody cases.
	Mothers can sometimes be as bad, or worse, than fathers.
	Yeah, when I see Nathan Larson, a man like we've described before, my instant reaction is, more daughters should be with their fathers.
	That's what I take away from this.
	Yeah, protect your daughters.
	Make sure you're with your daughter.
	You know, be with your daughter.
	I disagree with several of his... Well, I don't agree with his child slavery policy, but I do agree with his tax platform.
	Um, yeah.
	This is... Pretty fucked.
	Blue Ridger says, this guy should not be elected to office, but an election is the freest of free markets.
	So long as the information is out there, let the voters decide, and parenthesis, we hope, do the right thing.
	I love this.
	You're a fool.
	And the right thing is to just drag this man and just... You know, don't hire him.
	Hire felons, but don't hire this guy.
	Right.
	Don't hire this guy for so many other reasons.
	Like, the felony is the best part about him.
	We talked about that.
	Like, don't hire him because he's a fucking awful person.
	Yeah.
	I love, like... Government, don't hire him.
	Sorry.
	I love, like...
	A, the idea that elections are the freest of markets?
	Yeah, I love that too.
	Okay.
	Do you have to register to buy a bag of groceries?
	Do you have to go to a special place once a year to elect who your fucking neighborhood grocer is?
	You have to register if you want to shop at Costco, buddy.
	I mean, most of them.
	To get beyond that real paywall, you gotta do most of them.
	You gotta fill up your Stater Brothers cart now with the coupons.
	You gotta get that one going.
	Stater Brothers is savings without a club.
	But you can get even more savings though.
	Manufacturer's coupons.
	You gotta have that phone number.
	Are you talking about like an app that organizes all the coupons and shit?
	Yeah.
	You gotta have the phone number to get the real discount.
	So they're right.
	This is the freeze of markets.
	Make couponing great again.
	I mean, dude, registering is so free that you can do it when you get your license, you know?
	It's that easy.
	In some states.
	But to get into Sam's Club, that's different.
	Yeah, it's not easy in a lot of other states.
	That's something we don't have to deal with here in California.
	But aside from that, I love just the idea that, oh, the free market will save us.
	The free market will fix this.
	In fact, we need some sort of space Uh, possibly on the internet.
	That's, like, not regulated, has no oversight, uh, so we can be even freer, you know?
	Somewhere you can go that's, like, hidden and dark on the web.
	Hmm.
	Where you can go and participate in the freest of markets.
	Sure, yeah.
	Man, dude, I, like, sometimes I want to get drugs.
	And like, you know, the dispensary ain't delivering, they're closed, you know?
	I gotta hit up some unregulated source, you know?
	This is great.
	That's good.
	You can't use weed maps to get DMT.
	No, you can't.
	You have to extract that directly from the pineal gland.
	Yeah, the 2C-B you can find on some unregulated website though.
	Yeah, but I mean, that's just kind of the goal, right?
	Is eventually we want to be able to like, log into like an AI system and like live in a different universe a la Westworld.
	I mean... Imagine if this guy got into Westworld.
	No thanks.
	Yep.
	Jesus Christ.
	Actually, don't imagine.
	I think imagining it's almost a crime.
	I love the immediate no thanks.
	Okay, that's it for Nathan Larson.
	Remember the name.
	I swear, if you guys vote for this person, you're no longer allowed to listen to the show.
	We gotta have rules.
	You can still give us your money, but you're not allowed to listen anymore.
	Yeah, you can only vote for him if you're on the Patreon.
	By the way, thanks for subscribing to the Patreon.
	Didn't thank you guys up top.
	You know, I was thinking that Father's Day is coming up and Patreon makes a great gift for the dads.
	So if anybody wants to buy your dad a Patreon subscription, go for it.
	Yeah, we're also against daughters dating on this podcast.
	I know how to solve this problem about pedophiles running for Congress and being active in society.
	Start a business!
	Start a business, vote with your dollars, decide where you're gonna spend that money.
	Did I tell you guys about the rich guy that came in over the weekend?
	Super nice guy?
	No.
	Super nice guy.
	Oh, maybe.
	I don't know.
	But just like so rich and had like no clue he was being an asshole.
	The worst dude.
	The worst dude.
	He was like, oh, I want to buy these gloves.
	I'm like, oh cool, 35 bucks.
	He says, so 35 bucks.
	That's free.
	That's what I paid at valet.
	My 600 horsepower Mercedes out there.
	I don't know, that guy sounds pretty fucking cool to me.
	Yeah, but he was also very nice, but just very flippant.
	Oblivious.
	And he told me, he goes, you know what a young man like you should invest in?
	What you should buy?
	And I'm like, I hope it's something really cheap, because he says, apartments.
	Oh, cool, Doc.
	Triplexes, duplexes, you should invest in property.
	Maybe in San Bernardino.
	Yeah, maybe go to San Bernardino.
	It's like, Doc, I work a retail job.
	What do you think I'm doing right now?
	There's no concept.
	Yeah, we don't have a problem with slumlords in San Bernardino.
	Yeah, at all.
	No, yeah, that's what like older drivers, like drivers who are now retired, that's what they tell me.
	They're all, first thing I did was I bought a house and started renting it out, and I'm like, oh cool, do you know what prices are now?
	Do you have any concept of how much things cost anymore?
	Also, looks at watch, do you know what year this is?
	Do you know, like 20 years ago, maybe?
	Honestly, my answer to them all the time is, I don't want to be a fucking landlord.
	What are you crazy?
	A, I don't want to have to like think about a property that I'm never at.
	B, I don't want to have to take money from people, you know?
	Like what the fuck?
	That's like, you're like an automatic enemy.
	You're like worse than a boss.
	It gets worse.
	This guy He was going to just flippantly buy a $5,000 bike.
	He wasn't even sure if he wanted it.
	Trying to flex?
	No, he just has the money to do it.
	But he was on his way to La Sierra University to receive an award because he developed this game, this is real, that was pitched to Jamaica called Lemonade.
	It was pitched... Is it named after Beyonce shit?
	I wish.
	No.
	It's a game that the Jamaican school system is adopting, that he made, where you play this game where you have a lemonade stand, and you buy more lemonade stands, and you sell the lemonade stands, and you franchise out the lemonade stands, but it's all a metaphor for how you should treat your money.
	Cool, that's going to help the people of Jamaica.
	Teaching them to be franchisers.
	Franchisees.
	He's taking it to the Dominican Republican next.
	Well dude, real soon, like, Lemonade stands are gonna be all throughout Jamaica, and then that'll spread throughout the entire world, and then they'll have their own... their own thing to own and have.
	It's gonna be the fucking little kid, the Blue Lives Matter fucking lemonade kid.
	Fuck that little kid.
	God!
	All children are bastards.
	So good.
	Hell yeah, dude.
	A-Cab.
	Alright, so back to this episode.
	Okay, so the next guy we're talking about today is a dude named Mike Sari.
	Last name, literally sorry.
	However, not spelled like the apology and not spelled like the garment of clothing.
	But almost.
	That's a little redundant.
	But it's spelled S-A-A-R-I if you want to look this guy up.
	And I kind of recommend looking him up because he's a wild guy.
	Yeah, look him up on Facebook.
	You'll see all kinds of crazy shit.
	He's a wild child.
	He's not as...
	Uh, violent and virulently open?
	Is that a correct phrase?
	He's not as open about what are probably his views.
	He's just a general dumbass.
	He does not know when to stop posting, which I kind of love him for.
	Yeah, he's adorable in this sense.
	Mike Sari is a running candidate for state senator in Michigan's 15th Senate district.
	I think they call that a junior senator.
	No.
	No?
	A junior senator is one of your two senators from your state who has less of the seniority.
	So a state senator is lamer than what he's running for.
	Yes, a state senator is lamer than a junior senator.
	A state senate is literally the lamest of the political offices.
	What a labe.
	Okay, lots of stuff came to light about this dude, but it first happened because of comments that he left on a video about the judge who sentenced Larry Nassar, the former U.S.
	Olympic gymnastics doctor who had been molesting kids for decades.
	You may remember this story.
	She allowed, I think, all the victims to speak.
	When she handed down the sentence, she said some crazy shit to him.
	I mean, crazy in a bad way.
	I mean, crazy like, it's tight.
	Like, handled him.
	It's very rare that we're like, you get him, judge.
	But we were like, yeah, get him.
	I'm going to read from this article.
	The situation first came to light after Judge Rosemary Aquilina tore into Larry Nassar for a solid 30 minutes while handing down her sentencing to the former USA Gymnastics team doctor after he was accused of molesting at least 250 young women and one young man dating back as far as 1992.
	I've just signed your death warrant.
	Boom!
	Judge Aquilina said.
	I find that if you don't get it, you're a danger.
	And then she hit the dab on him.
	Had to do it to ya.
	She sentenced Nasser to up to 175 years.
	Which is cool.
	Um, just a side note, a lot of people, uh, had a problem with this judge.
	Yeah.
	Uh, they tried to get her impeached?
	What's the word?
	Disbarred?
	Yeah.
	Or something.
	De-robed.
	There you go.
	They tried to get her de-robed.
	De-wigged, actually.
	Could take the wig off the judge, you know?
	They wanted to ban the hammer from her using it.
	Yeah, no, a lot of people didn't care much about this pedophile.
	They cared about the female judge who was angry at him, including our boy Mike Sari, who, let me continue reading here actually, as a part of a discussion in regard to the ruling, Sari wrote, Judge was wrong for her personal vocal opinions on record.
	That should be a crime against jurisprudence itself.
	Lastly, What do you think this Feminazi judge would say if her husband asked for a BJ?
	He said this?
	He commented this on Facebook.
	So crazy.
	So it's forever there.
	There's screenshots of it.
	Oh man.
	In hundreds of articles on the web.
	And he didn't outright say like, hey, you know, you were mean to this pedophile.
	Or rapist.
	Well it's... Excuse me.
	He aligned himself with...
	It's very interesting.
	It's very interesting what people choose to focus on when these stories come up.
	It's very telltale of where their brains at.
	When stories about police brutality come out, suddenly everybody cares about crime in Chicago.
	Actually, blue lives matter.
	So, yeah, that's what this guy said.
	Go ahead.
	What's crazy is that this guy is, um, here's this judge coming down and this guy who molested so many girls, so many people, and like, that's, and fuck these, like, like, you know, these, how these kids shook, you know?
	Like, it was, it was really heavy, you know?
	Yeah.
	This person deserves the worst things to happen to them, right?
	But this person, this guy, uh, sorry, says, wow, what a prude.
	Yeah.
	What a prude.
	I wonder if... You must hate all sex!
	God!
	I wonder if his attitude towards the judge reveals anything about his personal beliefs.
	Because he kept posting.
	Dude just kept posting.
	I'm glad he did it though.
	We're gonna have to talk about it now.
	So there was one YouTube video that I was watching about this story and they bleeped out the phrase BJ when they were reporting on it.
	Which BJ just means Brazilian Jew.
	Jitsu?
	Is that that lost tribe I've been hearing so much about?
	Yeah, it's the Brazilian Jews, and that's where the jitsu comes from.
	It's an art form from the Brazilian Jews.
	I gotta tell my coach, he's spelling it totally wrong.
	Yeah, just correct him.
	Put him on blast.
	However, so yeah, BJ was bleeped out, but Kaksitasky comments on this YouTube video Asking for a blank?
	What the fuck?
	Why can't they say BLOWJOB?!
	Oh, oh, uh, uh... Toilet.
	BLOWJOB!
	You know, all the things.
	BLUMPKIN!
	All the things.
	I'm sorry, I apologize.
	That's the worst humor.
	No, that's required.
	That's in there, too.
	Popcorn ass.
	So, Michael Sari also commented on this YouTube video.
	Dude, won't stop postin'.
	Michael Sari on this video says, 2018 the people will decide void of Facebook drama.
	I love my community and each and every person, he means that literally, willing to contribute.
	Void of drama is welcome to our platform.
	So just, you know, like stop with the Facebook drama about the things I posted on Facebook.
	Just, you know, ignore, ignore the noise people.
	Stop with the Facebook drama that I myself started.
	So, people found more comments from Michael Sari after he wouldn't shut the fuck up.
	On Facebook, he also commented...
	Woman don't seem to understand that from the very beginning of time men have taken young girls, parenthesis, prior to periods, as wives and concubines.
	Even the Bible talks of this, so don't make it sound like men that are attracted to 12-year-old girls are sick.
	It's you woman that can't get a grip on reality is what's sick.
	You woman.
	It's only normal and you can't change normal or a person's DNA.
	Okay.
	So I'm going to go and say that like, you know, Childhood's End is like my favorite, favorite book by Arthur C. Clarke.
	And it's all about spoilers.
	It's all about, you know, the evolution of humans to move beyond being human, you know?
	So like more human than human.
	Sure.
	Yeah.
	Hell yeah, dude.
	I love Rob Zombo.
	Um, but The goal of humankind is to move past taking pre-period women as a life.
	I don't know.
	It's only been 2,000 years since the Bible was written.
	Or I guess it was written after Jesus.
	You know what I mean.
	It's only been a thousand years and some change.
	Give it some time, Matt.
	And that whole thing, it's like, yeah, because the Bible is chock full of good ideas.
	No, we gotta evolve, like, with the quickness.
	Michael Sarri, dude, you should be sorry.
	In the Bible, those people get punished with, like, plagues and, like, death and, like, hellfire.
	Yeah, wizard.
	No, you're talking about sodomites, you're not talking about pedophiles.
	Oh, yep, true.
	Sodomy, very bad in the Bible.
	Great in real life.
	So this dude has an online presence like none other.
	He's got a couple great, great profile pictures.
	This is so insane.
	My favorite picture of him is one where he is He's putting seed in a bird feeder while dressed in his, you know, politician suit.
	He's clutching like a basket of bird seed under one arm and then like, you know how you might have some change in your hand and you shake it around?
	Right.
	He's doing that hand motion into the bird feeder and he's looking at the camera smiling like His face is so distorted that it looks like the troll face, kind of?
	It does, dude.
	For real.
	You could wear a mask of him to rob a bank.
	Oh yeah.
	And people would know that it was Michael Sarr.
	People would recognize it instantly.
	That's why it's so important, though, that he does post because if all we had to base was this, we'd be like, oh, look at this sweet buffoon.
	Look how sweet he is.
	You know?
	But now we have to know he's an awful person.
	Like, his face looks like the troll face if halfway through smiling that shit-eating grin, people found out he was a pedophile.
	And stopped it.
	Cause like, the mouth is smiling wide, cheeks extending past the profile of the head, but the eyes are very concerned.
	The eyebrows are very concerned.
	They're peaked up at the middle.
	- It's very pouty. - It's very pouty.
	Like, he's got, it's like this big toothless smile, like open mouth, toothless smile that looks like the clown at the end of a skee-ball ramp after all the teeth have been knocked down.
	- Yeah. - Oh yeah.
	His face is like the shape of a diamond.
	Like the way his eyebrows arch up and his chin goes down.
	It's shaped like home plate.
	Yeah, home plate.
	There we go.
	That's more appropriate.
	His chin comes to a point.
	- There's like a shape batter's box in that bitch. - Yeah, it's like a Pentagon shape.
	Like, he's not a moon-faced boy, he's a Pentagon-shaped face boy.
	Oh, Mike Shovelhead Sari.
	He looks like he's getting caught for sure, which makes the act of filling a bird feeder really weird now.
	It's like, oh, you're seeing me do this?
	Oh, shit.
	Yeah, we can't see what it's what's in his hand.
	Maybe he's putting poison in there.
	Or I was going to say it might just be like Skittles or like other candy, which is poison for birds.
	Jackie Verbert in one of the Deplorables groups says, referring to biblical times, like, you know, talking about this guy's justification for his weird thoughts about 12 year olds.
	Referring to biblical times?
	How retarded is that?
	That was way back before we knew a human brain takes 25 years to develop fully, and life expectancy was not even half of nowadays.
	So like, back then they had less time on this earth, they had to live it up more, you know?
	Back then they were retarded.
	Dude.
	I've been having a lot of it, running into that issue a lot lately, dude.
	People love saying that word.
	Oh yeah.
	I say it ironically, just let me say that.
	I probably shouldn't say it.
	You shouldn't say it, yeah.
	But, you know.
	It's a bummer-ass word, like it's not a cool word.
	Well, you make me feel terrible for saying it, so... Well, good.
	Stop saying it.
	I'm not gonna.
	Just like I'm telling these people to stop saying it, because it's like, it's a fuck, it's fucking lame.
	Hey, freedom of speech, dude.
	It's so, it's so rude.
	I also like, that was way back before we knew a human brain takes 25 years to develop fully.
	This person's 23.
	Like...
	Like, you know how a 12-year-old just looks like an adult, and it's only their brain that doesn't mature until 25?
	Yeah, I'm familiar with that.
	That's typically how I look at 12-year-olds.
	We just didn't know that 12-year-olds weren't kids back then.
	Like, what?
	And also, all these fucking people talk about are Muslims, and how Muhammad took a 12-year-old bride.
	They won't shut the fuck up about that shit.
	It's really crazy.
	Gross.
	No criticisms of the Bible, except from Jackie Verbert, who's probably a Bible thumper herself.
	And says the R word.
	I'm trying to adjust.
	Good job.
	I only say it because my brother was... No, I'm just kidding.
	He wasn't.
	This is only for you Patreon people.
	Maggie Holthouse also has some thoughts about this picture of Michael Sari feeding birds.
	Maggie says, who the fuck feeds birds in a suit?
	Uh, which I kind of agree with.
	I agree too, like.
	It's a red flag for sure.
	Yeah, he looks weird as fuck, and this suit is bad.
	It's all boxed out.
	Dude, this dude made a sec- he deleted his original Facebook after all this stuff came out.
	Oh my god.
	And then came out with a second Facebook page that is just filled with wonderful comments.
	Every single photo has great comments on it.
	Every single post he ever did, you know, dating back two months has comments on it.
	Is it like the light is like his like nice public Facebook and like the other ones like his like pervert one?
	Yes.
	Cool.
	No, I don't think he has the pervert one anymore.
	Yeah, that's the one he deleted.
	Oh, he deleted it.
	He actually deleted it.
	I guess people in government can delete their Facebooks.
	It wasn't a page, it was just his personal shit.
	It wasn't like, Michael sorry for Congress or Michael sorry for State Senate.
	Or Michael sorry is sorry.
	Again, if you don't think that the scum of America has been emboldened with the election of Donald Trump, then you're failing to realize that we have multiple pedophiles openly running for offices and positions of power.
	We were talking about that before the show.
	We were talking about that before the show too, like Trump not only emboldened all the racists in America, but emboldened people like this guy and Lawson or Larson or whatever the fuck.
	Sorry and Lawson.
	John Cohen says... This is an example of one of the wonderful comments I was talking about.
	Trigger warning for suicide, by the way.
	John Cohen says, You should just kill yourself, you scum fuck.
	It'll be an easier way out.
	Die slow, cunt.
	All the comments were like this.
	All the comments were like, you're a monster, et cetera, et cetera.
	But he went there, though, with this one.
	Michael Sari says, all caps, PROBLEM WITH MEDIA, colon.
	The partial content of conversations copied and pasted on Facebook are often intentionally one-sided to cause publicity and drama, much like a biblical verse taken out of context, as was the case with my statement regarding 12-year-old females.
	Oh, God.
	So he's calling what he said a biblical verse now.
	Regarding 12-year-old females, modern society, dressing and acting like full-grown adults with lipstick-wearing string underwear.
	Where is he seeing this?
	I don't want to know.
	He might have been visiting a couple websites.
	Little frequently dude, it's so fucked.
	I mean it is the is the photo in the next slide.
	Mm-hmm.
	Yeah Yeah, I mean that illustrates the whole thing.
	He kept posting.
	Yep.
	He kept posting.
	I think this is not a joke He really he He will explain to you why 12-year-olds being attractive is not entirely his fault.
	I understand and fully support the paramount concern that plagues society, and dearly apologize the person posted a partial text as if my campaign was advocating pedophilia.
	Like, I'm trying to- Wait, you missed the dot dot dot at the end of it.
	Oh, dot dot dot.
	Yeah, every boomer has to end- Yeah, but it's still, it's a normal ellipsis though, so it's kind of weird.
	Yeah, it's strange.
	Reading reading charitably, reading his comment charitably, there's no way to take it out of context.
	There's no way that any sort of context would justify a man talking about how it's totally normal to Want to interact with 12-year-olds like they're full-grown adults.
	Unless you live in the world of Handmaid's Tale, you know, and you're a head-of-household type guy.
	Oh, so the dis in front of topian like stands for normal.
	Yeah, normal.
	I thought it meant something else.
	Normal world.
	But I mean, even in the gross world that is Handmaid's Tale, they at least had to be able to have a bare child.
	That was one of the requirements.
	They had standards.
	That sick fucking post-apocalyptic...
	You know, manifestation that we've made up for a show is not even as gross as this motherfucker right here.
	That's true.
	That's completely true.
	And that shit's gross.
	Okay, next slide.
	Oh, God.
	Oh, man.
	Fuck.
	So, there was a group called... This is stuff that I found on my own.
	I did a lot of digging for this... Thank you, Alex.
	...episode, including a video that I didn't send to you guys, but it was a video like a...
	campaign video that Michael Sari like did like an ad that he did where he was behind the counter of a liquor store shaking hands with the owner and he was like hey tell the tell the camera or not the owner but you know the guy behind uh the counter tell the camera what you just told me and the guy's like uh I think Michael Sari can win Michael Sari's like yeah Yeah!
	That poor fucking guy.
	That poor man.
	Like, Michael Sarri's like, hey, if I do this and this and this, you think people will vote for me and elect me?
	And he's like, yeah.
	And then he's like, okay, now say that again for the camera.
	It's the worst when you co-sign someone that ends up sucking.
	This guy has the ultimate version of this.
	Yeah, nothing tops it.
	We all have like somebody that we've been like, that you've vouched for that ended up just sucking real bad.
	Imagine that person being Michael Sarri.
	That's why you do the sort of sleuthing and dig through everybody's Facebook profile before you endorse them.
	So there was a group that I found called Michigan Republican Precinct Delegates, a Facebook group.
	Michael Sari is a member, and thank God this group was public.
	So we have a couple posts here from Michael Sari.
	The first one... Should I explain the photo first?
	Yeah, okay.
	Yeah?
	Because it said the first line is, uh, I apologize if the photo is offensive.
	The photo here that he's referring to is a group of middle school aged girls obviously dressed for like a dance or something.
	Hair done up, makeup, and very small dresses.
	This is like definitely culled from a fucking jailbait website.
	That's what this shit is.
	That's why it exists on the internet is because of freaks like Michael Sari.
	Otherwise, this would have been just a random prom, you know, random middle school dance photo that remained in the possession of the people who had it.
	The photo clearly shows, so this is in, he posted this shit in a group called Michigan Republican Precinct Districts.
	And real quick, he didn't like upload a link, he posted a photo from like a folder.
	Oh yeah.
	This was like saved to his desktop and then posted.
	Yep.
	What was I gonna say here?
	It's crazy.
	So this is a post that came out after everything.
	After everything already came out.
	After all these people in this group knew what he was now famous for.
	This is him defending himself.
	This is the photo that he posts to defend himself.
	I'm clearly just a normal guy with photos of this kind of stuff on my computer.
	The photo clearly shows life realities of 11 and 12 year old girls and for those that deny young girls are dressing and acting like full-grown woman is what's fiction and illogical and not the comment of a state senator candidate that loves his community and every parent and child with every fiber of his being.
	What the fuck dude?
	Also this photo is definitely from like the age of Jersey Shore.
	Yeah.
	Like that's the style of these girls.
	It's not a current photo floating around.
	It's like Jersey Shore slash like Spice Girls era.
	Yep.
	Like 2004.
	Yeah.
	These are 11 and 12 year old girls.
	I sincerely apologize to everyone that perceived my message as advocating a lifestyle with a child.
	Dot dot.
	Sick.
	No, sorry, you said it wrong.
	Sick!
	Sick, brah!
	I since, uh, I have granddaughters and this does not bring joy into my life.
	I just can't stop talking about it.
	I don't want to talk about the sexy 12 year olds.
	It brings me no joy.
	The only reason I talk about it is because I think about it so much.
	Yeah, you know, and just, just for the record guys, like not every grandpa needs to see their grandkids.
	Yeah.
	Just saying.
	Not every dad needs to see their kids.
	One more time, I'm going to bring it back to it.
	This is one step beyond, beyond that.
	This is one step beyond like, You don't have to sexualize people, man.
	These can just be people wearing dresses, you know?
	Don't sexualize your daughters.
	Let them be people.
	That's the whole thing.
	That's the whole song.
	That's the whole Kanye song.
	You're sexualizing this person, not letting them exist.
	You can wear whatever the fuck you want.
	No one's got any business with what you're wearing.
	Uh, a couple of comments I didn't write down, but, you know, one, obviously, people were like, uh, oh, you're, you're a sick man.
	Like, you're a sick man.
	Stop posting, please.
	Um, and he responded to one woman that was like, If you don't think your husband would walk by these girls and take a second glance, you're delusional.
	She was like, uh, no, my husband likes adult women.
	So there's that.
	Good God.
	And if your husband does do that, then you know what?
	Maybe you don't need to have a husband anymore.
	Yeah, boot him.
	But also, this guy does need to seek help.
	Seek help, Michael, sorry.
	You're fucked up.
	Before you do something bad, dude, get help.
	He comments on this photo with an amazing comment that says...
	I speak from the eyes of my heart.
	I love my community and each and every person.
	Period.
	We know, Michael.
	We know how much you love each and every person.
	He doesn't discriminate.
	At all.
	Guys, again, just to keep the conversation going, these guys are fucking everywhere.
	These guys are at your local coffee shop.
	These guys are doing the modern equivalent of putting a mirror on your shoe.
	These guys are at your local libertarian meeting.
	Look, I'm looking, not touching.
	It's cool that we can have a conversation about it so that, like, hopefully there's less of this in the future.
	Childhood's end, people.
	Unfortunately.
	Get your friends to subscribe to Patreon to help in the patriarchy.
	Yeah, that's right.
	The Patreon-key.
	Yeah, and then final, oh yeah, and then another comment in this thread was from Miguel saying to Steve, he tags Steve in this comment, please consider removing Michael Sari from the group.
	Okay!
	Which still didn't happen, amazingly enough.
	What, the Michigan Republican precinct delegates group?
	Yeah.
	That's awesome.
	Last post from Michael Sari, our poster boy.
	Our Blue Star Boy says, this is a post in this same group, Michigan Republican Precinct Delegates, that says, Matt Damon is very intelligent and understands rule of law and that our Bill of Rights were designed to be in favor of the people and certainly not the government.
	Matt Damon would absolutely vote for sorry if he were within voting district.
	Poor Matt Damon.
	Matt Damon's just trying to sell beer to get people water.
	And you know what?
	Now he's co-signing Michael Sarri.
	That poor guy.
	Oh my god, dude.
	That's it for this guy.
	Our second uplifting topic is all about Bernie Sanders and his stand with Disneyland employees.
	And I'm just going to read from the LA Times, you know.
	They do it the best.
	They do it better than I ever could.
	They articulate it well.
	To justify the pay increase, the workers' union, because that's what they're asking for, they're asking for a living wage of $15 an hour that will rise by a dollar every year until 20-something, 2020, and then at that point, it'll be tied to inflation.
	And the wage will rise with inflation.
	So, they did organize?
	Disneyland workers do have a union now?
	They do have a union.
	Like, that happened in the last two weeks, I think, right?
	It's new, right?
	I think it might be new.
	Yeah, I remember seeing an article a couple weeks ago, like they're trying to organize.
	That's really cool they did that.
	So yeah, absolutely.
	To justify this pay increase, the Workers Union points to a survey released in February that found 73% of Disney employees who were questioned said they don't earn enough to pay for such basic expenses as rent, food, and gas.
	The online survey, underwritten by the same coalition of Disneyland labor groups, also said that 11% of resort employees have been homeless or have not had a place of their own in the last two years.
	The survey was conducted by the Economic Roundtable, a non-profit research organization in Los Angeles and the Urban Environmental Policy Institute at Occidental College.
	In 2016, the Anaheim City Council voted to give Disneyland a tax break of about $267 million over the next 20 years to build a luxury hotel in the resort.
	Construction of this 700-room hotel is expected to be completed in 2021.
	That sucks.
	Isn't it cool how a business wants to make money by building a resort, and we're like, oh, okay, we'll give you money if you do that.
	Yep.
	We're gonna give you money so you can make money.
	It's the Amazon thing.
	But Disney wrote this book, you know what I mean?
	They did this shit in Florida.
	They bought up fuckin' tons of land at pennies on the dollar by lobbying.
	They're kings and queens of this shit.
	Watch the Florida Project.
	Yeah.
	It is really a dark contrast.
	It's fucked.
	So you're reading about this.
	You're reading about like workers fighting for the ability to live somewhere.
	Workers fighting for the abilities to pay their bills and stuff like that.
	You're like, oh, this is a good thing.
	This is like an uplifting message.
	Not so fast, buddy.
	Not so fast, listener.
	Fox News has an article.
	They got a twist?
	Titled, Bernie Sanders Takes Job-Killing Stands at Disney Workers' Rally, Critics Say.
	Wow.
	What a headline.
	What a headline.
	It's a way to look at it, I guess, from a certain point of view.
	Obama is the devil, critics say.
	That's a great way to write news.
	We're taking the wrong approach on this whole thing.
	If we really want to, like, appeal to these people, the Fox News demographic, we need to illustrate to them how there is a direct correlation between poverty and, like, um, violence and, like, gang violence.
	I don't know if you guys have been to Disneyland recently, but, like, there's, like, gangs in there now.
	There's, like, Disneyland gangs.
	Um, there's, like, there's literally, like, oh, I don't know, I don't want to call them out.
	I don't want to, like, bug shots.
	But there's, like, the Main Street Elite.
	There's, like, have you guys seen this?
	Yeah, okay.
	Yeah, it's so so it's cool.
	They're cracking down on it They are no longer allowing a goth night at Disneyland in order for us to really crack down on on you know The gang violence in Disneyland and we need to give them a more a living wage So I'm going to read here from this Fox News article, which is amazing.
	U.S.
	Senator Bernie Sanders rallied California's Disneyland resort workers in Anaheim on Saturday in support of a state wage increase measure that some say would cost the state, quote, thousands of jobs.
	In the same speech, Sanders also praised Disney CEO Bob Iger for canceling ABC's Roseanne after its star's recent Twitter meltdown.
	Even though, it's interesting that they didn't say racist Twitter meltdown.
	Yeah.
	Even though the sitcom's shutdown reportedly threw hundreds of crew members out of work.
	Bernie says he's for four workers.
	What about those workers who don't work on Roseanne anymore?
	Yeah, if he like tries to like, you know, propone a union.
	You gotta put a bunch of people out of a job!
	Like, why would... Stop, Bernie.
	Stop it, now.
	Well, like, the shutting down of the Roseanne set was really... It was... Again, you know, it was worked up against the lower class, you know?
	Black people lost jobs, too.
	It's interesting that you suddenly care about that, Tony.
	Yeah, Wanda Sykes lost her gig on that show.
	Wanda Sykes lost a job.
	Wanda Sykes quit.
	She did, because she rules.
	Yeah, because she rules, yeah.
	She's awesome.
	It's interesting that Bernie Sanders is so pro-worker and yet he advocated for the cancellation of HBO's Lucky just because a few dozen horses died, you know?
	Is that a thing too?
	That show or Bernie's advocacy for it?
	No, the horse is dying.
	Oh, yeah.
	God damn it!
	Dustin Hoffman personally curb stomped at least three, I believe.
	Horses, dude!
	Stop killing animals for movies, guys!
	Can you imagine curb stomping a horse?
	How hard?
	It's gotta be a pretty high curb.
	And also, you have to jump on the horse's head, like, jump on it.
	Well, that's why you use like a, um, like a backhoe.
	Oh, cool.
	Yeah, no Ed Norton shit here.
	Well, you keep the saddle on so you can use the stirrup to climb up high enough to then... Oh my god.
	I mean, yeah, sure, some horses died, but think about all those other horses who lost their jobs because of the cancellation of Lucky.
	Yeah.
	That's all I'm saying here.
	When you cancel shows, you cancel jobs.
	But then this goes on.
	So it may be no surprise that some observers were left skeptical of Sanders' credentials as an advocate for working Americans.
	Give me a fucking break with this propaganda bullshit Fox News.
	Literally every, you have to endorse every company or else you're anti-worker.
	This is insane.
	So like, like clear that they're just, they have an agenda here.
	I mean it wasn't clear before, this article.
	Uh, I think it's interesting that Donald Trump is so pro-worker, yet he advocated for Obama leaving office in 2017.
	Why would you put a person out of a job just for you to have a job, dude?
	He's fired so many people.
	This fucking catchphrase was literally, you're fired.
	Affirmative action, you ever heard of it, Donald?
	You should have let the black man keep the job.
	Well, what they don't talk about is every time you fire somebody, you are actually creating a job.
	Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Like I said guys, I've had six this year.
	I am fucking thriving!
	Signs of a good economy.
	We're going.
	We're moving.
	You know what's tight though?
	Is that at one point today I was driving in my 86 BMW with my little girl in the back and she says, Daddy, we're living our best life because we're going to the pool.
	And you know what?
	It'd be way cooler if we could do that on a living income.
	Oh fuck, dude.
	That's still really sweet.
	No, because I feel like that'll make you appreciate it less.
	Yeah, yeah.
	She needs it for character.
	She needs the struggle for character.
	Isn't that fucked?
	That's like a thing we tell ourselves as the 99%.
	Like, we have to be poor.
	If we weren't poor, we'd be disconnected from everything.
	That's something we tell ourselves.
	I mean, there's an argument for, you know, wealthy people being disconnected from everything, but uh, yeah.
	I'm sorry.
	I know what you're saying.
	There's a middle ground there.
	I thought we weren't going to talk about Kanye anymore.
	I'm not, dude.
	You are.
	Stop talking about him.
	They have to have a CEO over the Chamber of Commerce?
	"Friend of the working man, Bernie has come all this way to support a measure that will result in thousands of lost jobs for the people of Anaheim," Todd Arment, CEO of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce said in a written statement.
	They have to have a CEO over the Chamber of Commerce?
	Well, yeah.
	What's more commercial than a CEO?
	I guess if you're a chamber of commerce, you gotta incorporate.
	That makes zero sense to me right there, but just saying.
	I love this idea, like, raising wages kills jobs.
	Good!
	Like, fine, like... Then shit will change.
	People will have a better job, you know?
	Some people might get, uh, get laid off, but the people who keep their jobs will be able to survive.
	If everybody raises their wages, then, uh, those people will also have good jobs.
	The people who got fired.
	And if, like, people are put out, like, say, say people en masse are cut out of jobs, then they'll organize better.
	They'll have time to organize.
	Like, it's...
	I don't know.
	Well, I don't know about that.
	It sucks to not have a job.
	No, of course.
	I mean, especially in this fucking horrific economy.
	Real quick, is there a way for us to, like, support this?
	Like, is there like a boycott Disney move?
	I will continue not going to Disneyland.
	I will still not go to Disneyland if that would help.
	I'm gonna shout out my favorite dissenting opinion podcast Champagne Sharks and they were talking about like it's like basically impossible to They were talking about the NFL, like maybe if people in mass protested the NFL, which is pretty impossible because how are you going to protest Chevy?
	How are you going to protest Disney?
	How are you going to do that?
	You're going to just not watch movies?
	By only buying Ford products and going exclusively to Universal Studios.
	Okay, alright.
	Or not watching a Disney flick ever.
	It's just so hard for us to do that.
	It's just so almost impossible for us to boycott anything.
	Without, like, losing some sort of, like, little semblance of life.
	Because consumerism's so tied to our... Well, yeah, I mean, I definitely saw Solo, and I'm probably gonna buy these Black Panther vans that come out tomorrow.
	Gang.
	So, like, yeah.
	No ethical consensus.
	But guess what?
	Guess what?
	I'm not gonna fucking go to Disneyland.
	And imagine how much more fun Disneyland would be if he knew that, like, the guy who was, um, letting you on the log ride, like, got to go home and, like, have a stress-free life because he made a living wage.
	That'd be way better.
	How much better would that be?
	Way better.
	Well, I don't know, they call all their employees cast members at Disneyland.
	So weird.
	Which I thought was charming for a second.
	No.
	It's dark.
	Very dark.
	And I think they should continue, these cast members, playing the role of poor people.
	It's very convincing performance.
	But dude, we couldn't get people to stop going to SeaWorld, so we're definitely not getting people to stop going to Disneyland.
	Okay, I think that's about it to this hilarious article.
	This goes into Roseanne after that, huh?
	Yeah, it talks about how the CEO of Disney, you know, makes 400 million in a four-year period.
	It damn well has enough to pay its workers at least 15 bucks an hour, Sanders.
	Goddamn right.
	Goddamn right, Bernie.
	Okay, let's get to comments on this.
	These comments were taken from various places, mostly the Fox News comments section.
	Can I read?
	And, uh, also Facebook.
	Can I read the Sean one?
	Yeah, go for it, baby.
	Yeah, that's the first one to be read, right?
	Yep, that's the first one.
	So XXSeanXX, Blue Star Leader on Fox News, says, Bernie!
	Know what the term irrevelant means?
	Check it out in a mirror!
	Oh my god.
	Okay, obviously, you know, irrevelant.
	Don't think it's a word.
	Not even a Disney movie.
	That was an Inuit movie.
	I don't think that's a word, so I don't think anybody knows what that means, which is the clear joke here, I suppose.
	I just like the way it's phrased, too, and like how cutting this joke is.
	Know what the term irrelevant means?
	Well, look in a mirror, buddy.
	I love that.
	Check it, no, check it out in a mirror!
	All caps.
	Like, what the fuck, dude?
	I love that he just read an article all about Bernie Sanders on one of the number one news sites, you know, in the world, and his idea is, oh, this guy must be irrelevant.
	This guy must not be doing anything.
	Well, I mean, look at Sean's avatar.
	It's a, if you look closely, it's actually an American Straight Edge CrossFit shirt.
	XSeanXX.
	Does that exist?
	American Straight Edge shirts.
	Like the Made in America ones that aren't Made in America but it's called American Straight Edge.
	They sell shirts and CrossFit gear now.
	They actually made a shirt that says End Racism, which is cool, but it's really interesting.
	It's sold on a different web store than their CrossFit line.
	Probably, yeah.
	It's got its own page devoted to it.
	Oh, I thought you were making a joke about their actual avatar, which is two cherries.
	And that was going to be my joke.
	It was going to be a throwback joke to the last segment.
	Why don't you do it?
	I just did it.
	That's it right there.
	All I had to say was last segment and the cherry thing.
	Oh, okay.
	Is there like a link to pedophilia and cherries?
	Probably, you know, popping cherries or whatever.
	Cherry Poppin' Daddies?
	Come on, dude!
	See, you're like... It was bad.
	Cherry Poppin' Daddies?
	Got it.
	Next comment.
	TWCSack4 says, uh... Bernie Sanders speaks out of both sides of his mouth.
	One, he praises CEO, and then out of the other side of his mouth he wants him to pay all his Disneyland employees $15 an hour and criticizes his huge salary?
	One word for Bernie.
	R.I.P.
	Doesn't make sense.
	One of my favorite words.
	R.I.P.?
	Yeah.
	Yeah, that's a good one word.
	Word.
	Uh, yeah.
	I would just read it as rip anyway.
	Rip one, homie.
	It's so brutal.
	It's just like, also, Bernie, you're dead.
	Also, die.
	Also, you died.
	I love the speaks out of both sides of his mouth, which is something I've never read or heard before.
	It's a phrase.
	Okay, it's cute because it's like, I imagine a gutter.
	Imagine Michael Sari's smile.
	Yeah, exactly.
	You know, you hear me talking, it's what this looks like.
	It's great podcasting.
	Manuel Diago says, Sanders has a legitimate point here.
	400 million for the CEO?
	Yeah, of course.
	And there was like a few contrarians in these comment sections that were like, obviously not liberals or progressives or socialists or anything like that, but they were like, oh yeah, that's kind of, it's a bit much.
	It's a bit much.
	So much money.
	Almost half a billion dollars.
	Jim DeWalt replies to Manuel Diago's normal comment.
	Would you run Disney for less?
	No, you wouldn't.
	If that job was offered to you, you would take it in a heartbeat.
	Any other answer is a lie.
	I would not run Disney for $399,000,000.
	Not a penny less than $400,000,000.
	They have no clue how much money is.
	Not a penny less than $400 million.
	They have no clue how much money is.
	It's so weird.
	Just like what...
	They know that that's a lot of money.
	I just like this bootlickers approach.
	Of course he deserves $400 million.
	He's running Disney.
	It's like, fuck off dude.
	Give me a fucking break.
	And the talk about his salary excludes the talk about the profits that Disney makes on one Marvel movie alone.
	Yeah, that's just his salary.
	What the fuck, dude?
	DDR215 says, Sad thing is, all the socialist lemmings don't realize when wages increase, the cost is funneled to the consumer.
	So even though wages go up, so do the costs of goods and services to cover the expense.
	No one is gaining anything except for the politician that makes it sound good when it really isn't.
	Said 13 Upvotes.
	Yeah, no, it's funny how costs go up directly related to wages.
	You notice how if you look at a graph of like wages and inflation that they're the exact same line.
	They hue right to that line.
	Well, actually, if you look at it closely, you'll see that the raise in wage comes right before everything else gets higher, and it's like a step, like stairs.
	Right, it's like you're looking at a 3D image without glasses.
	The red and blue lines are slightly askew from each other.
	Yeah, I don't know what to say about this other than, like, yo.
	Capitalism is fucked.
	It's demonstrably false.
	Wages have been flat for fucking 30 years and inflation is through the roof.
	That is so crazy.
	All we're trying to do is be able to afford things.
	That's why it's not crazy.
	That's why us 30 year olds are like tripping out and like when we were young we had a roof over our head and weren't tripping on it or whatever.
	Right.
	Ken Bettis, you know, and I'm lucky because I have a fucking union job.
	Yeah, you are lucky.
	I'm legit lucky.
	I had to work nine years before getting a full-time position and I was able to survive that those nine years that I was part-time because of my privileges.
	Thanks to help.
	Yes, and but yeah, and now thanks to the union I have this job and that union group is so fucking so wild because you do get like Trump voters in there.
	Yeah.
	Who are like Clearly a driver, they have their browns on in the avatar, and they're just like, Go Trump 2020!
	To like try and troll everybody, and everybody's like, I know you're like trying to troll us, but you know you just look really dumb?
	Like, you're not making us mad, you're just making us laugh at you.
	They're pro-Trump and pro-union.
	There's a lot of people.
	They're pro-their specific union and only their money.
	Whatever gives them further, yeah.
	Yeah, it's cool.
	There's one at my building, at least one.
	There's probably multiple.
	Yeah, there's probably a bunch.
	But yeah, and when you try to, like, talk to this guy, like, you're voting against your own interests.
	He's just, like, posting memes about, like, drinking liberal tears and shit.
	Like, you're like, hey, Trump has his way, like, you won't have a job.
	And he's like, triggered much?
	Just a troll.
	Okay.
	Just a troll or a dumbass.
	Just like, yeah, just no motivation other than owning the libs.
	Fucking sucks.
	Ken Bettis says, John Nevins is 100% correct.
	Working at a convenience store will not foot the bills, nor should it.
	This is like an argument about how everybody who's working 40 hours has the right to, like, live, you know?
	Ugh.
	You can't pay someone more than their job is worth.
	Business 101.
	Yeah, it's business 101 that nobody has ever grossly overpaid, such as the CEO of Disney.
	I guarantee you this dude has complained about millionaire athletes.
	Well, yeah, for sure.
	Yep.
	Spoiled baby millionaire athletes who don't deserve their paycheck.
	Also, you can't possibly pay someone more than their worth because it's impossible under business 101.
	It all should be performance-based.
	So fucking horrendous.
	And like, my argument against this guy would be like, well, if the job isn't worth...
	Like, a living, why does that job exist?
	You know what I mean?
	Like, this is obviously a valuable job to whatever company you're at.
	It's valuable enough for them to create a position for that.
	It's valuable enough for you to spend 40 hours doing it.
	But it's not valuable enough for you to live off of it.
	And like, his argument would probably be, you know, Oh, well, that person's time is only as valuable as, like, a grocery store.
	Like, you know what I mean?
	Just because it's 40 hours doesn't mean those are, like, valuable 40 hours.
	Sounds like he's a proponent of a cash system, you know?
	It's crazy.
	It's like, if wages are tied to inflation, if you increase wages and then food prices go up, why don't we all just work for free?
	Yeah.
	And then everything will be free.
	That's how that works, right?
	I love things like your situation, where the company doesn't, I mean, if you guys strike, that will literally affect the economy.
	Yeah, we're like 6% of the GDP or something like that.
	It will literally affect the economy.
	Like, that's a big deal.
	And, like, yeah, this shouldn't be a conversation.
	You guys should get what you deserve.
	Yeah, for fucking sure.
	Yeah, I can't get into it now, but there's been a lot of backsliding with the various contracts, and so we're due for some big gains.
	But, um, final comment here.
	Oh, love this one.
	It's the best one to end on.
	That the ticket says... Say it one more time.
	That the ticket... Hey, that the ticket...
	I literally didn't get what they were going for.
	They couldn't even do it right.
	That the ticket.
	Wow.
	Not even an apostrophe in there.
	Or an S. You fucker.
	That the ticket says, I started work in 1958 for 90 cents an hour.
	A coke was 5 cents.
	I could buy 6 for 25 cents.
	A Coke was five cents.
	I could buy six for 25 cents.
	That meant I could buy 21 for my hours pay.
	This was back when there was additional ingredients in the Coca-Cola products.
	You know what I'm saying?
	Like, you could survive off Coke, but you needed more Coke to continue onward.
	I actually convinced my employer that you can actually pay me in Coke.
	Yeah, that the deal you'd give me on it, the markup on the street, it would increase my value so much.
	I worked for ten keys an hour.
	Ten keys.
	That sounds like a good wage.
	I don't mean kilos, I mean like dipping a key into a safe.
	Oh, I misunderstood what you were talking about.
	Yeah, as I was saying, and I realize it could be misinterpreted, I worked very hard and got a dime raised.
	Grinding.
	Another increment of measurement.
	Grinding.
	Another increment of measurement that could be used to describe drugs.
	I worked very hard and got a dime raise in three months, which meant I could now buy 24 Cokes.
	Yeah, dude.
	See how that works?
	Now with crazy people like Bernie, I can only buy 15 for $15.
	I love this like jump to like nothing.
	First of all, what the fuck are they trying to say?
	They're saying they got a raise and could therefore buy more Cokes with it.
	That's the fucking idea, dude.
	That's how wages work.
	I just need more Coke.
	The guy needs coke.
	Um, I just love the jump at the end.
	Now with crazy people like Bernie.
	I can only buy 15 for $15.
	That sentence totally sent me, like, through a loop.
	Like, I was like, what the fuck, dude?
	A. Can you buy 15 cokes anywhere?
	Yeah, it's not an increment, no.
	It's not an increment of cokes.
	I've never had a 15 pack, dude.
	B. Where are you buying cokes for a dollar?
	The donut shop, dude.
	What size?
	Straight up, the donut shop.
	Are you talking 20 ounces?
	That's where you get a Coke for that cheap.
	You talking 12 ounce cans?
	What the fuck are they talking about?
	Let me do a quick experiment.
	Let's do 12 pack of Coca-Cola.
	I think it's $12.
	Also how Bernie Sanders is like the head of Coca-Cola for some reason.
	Coca-Cola, 12 fluid ounces, 12 count, at Walmart for $3.50.
	I thought it was 12 bucks, dude.
	Let's do the math here.
	Okay, that's 29 cents for a can of Coke.
	This dude is also buying grams of dirt weed for 50 bucks.
	Yeah, dude, hell yeah.
	I sold... I don't understand the kids on my block.
	They're selling me these Cokes a dollar a piece.
	I love that so much.
	Getting taxed, baby.
	Yeah, that's the episode.
	What a great episode.
	And like, I love the idea that like, yeah, you used to work in 1958.
	When our economic policies were significantly better, when there were unions, etc, etc, we haven't enforced any of Bernie's ideas since then.
	What the world we're living in now is in the complete absence of every sort of worker protection you had in 1958.
	Who do they think is president?
	Who do they think is in Congress?
	That's why Bernie's so goddamn polarizing.
	It's because this shit is...
	New to everybody!
	Yeah.
