	The liberals are destroying California, and conservative humor gone awry... Conservative humor gone awry is going to fascistphonia today, so stay tuned.
	We're going to take a few pictures of the desert and how their policies are actually messing it up.
	It's not beautiful when you go across that border.
	Stay tuned I'm Alexander Edward And I'm Tony Boswell.
	And we're Minion Death Cult.
	The Right is getting better at comedy.
	It's making SNL nervous.
	We're documenting it.
	What's up everybody?
	We have just probably the funniest content we've ever had on this show for everybody today.
	Good thing you're stuck at home listening to this, otherwise you'd look like a maniac out in public laughing your dang butt off at all the stuff we're about to talk about today.
	And not us, what we're covering.
	What we're covering is funny.
	We're not funny.
	What we're covering is funny.
	No, we are vectors for the disease known as comedy and helping us bring this to you today is Jack Allison, previous guest, friend of the show, co-host of Struggle Session podcast.
	How you doing, Jack?
	I'm doing good.
	Thanks for having me back here.
	Thanks for subjecting me to a deplorable Saturday night.
	I can't tell you how much I appreciate that.
	That's right.
	That's right.
	We watched the deplorable Saturday night, parenthesis, live comedy special yesterday.
	I was just so excited to see.
	Terrence K. Williams has been Teasing it for a week or so now, and this was billed as their answer to SNL.
	And let me just read a little bit of the preview from Terrence K. Williams here.
	Somebody we've talked about pretty extensively on this show.
	Somebody we're just really proud of.
	Someone who I think we really put on.
	I think being on Fox was one thing, but I think that us covering him on Fox really put him over.
	Yeah, absolutely.
	Terrence K. Williams, when I came out as a Trump supporter, Hollywood shut the door in my face.
	They told me I was not allowed to be on Saturday Night Live and other shows.
	So, I've never... That's what they'll say.
	An agent will just tell you, hey, I'm sorry, it's not about your talent level, it's not about your funniness level, it's not about the auditions.
	You're not allowed to be on Saturday Night Live if you're a Republican.
	I mean, you know, forget Dennis Miller, forget, you know, Rob.
	Schneider.
	You cannot be a conservative.
	Forget David Spade.
	Forget, I guess, just about everybody on SNL.
	Lorne Michaels himself.
	I just haven't thought about it, but is David Spade a conservative?
	You know, I don't know if you looked up David Spade's political donations.
	I don't know if he's a big conservative donor, but Sandler is a little bit conservative, and Miller is conservative.
	80s SNL, I think, had a little bit of conservatism running through it.
	And I actually think that Loren's a conservative.
	I think Loren's a little bit old guy conservative.
	Yeah, but I mean, we, you know, we treat those people appropriately.
	That's why I still haven't seen Uncut Gems or Dickie Roberts.
	Here's the thing, I can separate the art from the artist, and so I've enjoyed both.
	Yeah, I was going to ask you, Jack, is this what happens when you try to break into Hollywood?
	Hollywood either tells you, hey, you can be on SNL and other shows, or they tell you, hey, you can't be on SNL or other shows.
	So here's the thing.
	I think you can obviously be a conservative and be successful in Hollywood.
	I think, particularly, you can be a fiscal conservative and be very, very successful in Hollywood.
	For sure.
	But, you know, uh, is there not some weird truth to the idea that there, you know, is sort of a hegemonic, you know, like, stupid liberal, like, kind of ethos to Hollywood?
	Like, it is true that there is kind of, like, in-thought and out-thought in Hollywood or whatever.
	However, I don't think that that's what happens with Terrence K. Williams.
	I don't think anyone told Terrence K. Williams, you like Trump and so you're not allowed to be on SNL.
	I think there's probably plenty of other reasons why, you know, Terrence couldn't be on SNL.
	Not even that SNL is even that good.
	I mean, all of this, you know, this entire thing, everything around the deplorable Saturday night is designed to be this kind of, like, it's like meant to, like, It's meant to prove a point of something that people already agree with.
	You know what I mean?
	It's like the conservatives have this idea that you can't be a conservative in Hollywood.
	And so this is just kind of like, it's like masturbation or something like that.
	It's just like this sort of self, it's like, what this is about is not about making good comedy or anything like that.
	It's about trying to prove the point that number one, SNL is not nice to conservatives.
	And number two, conservatives are just as funny.
	Well like Terrence K Williams is a genius though because he does the whole thing where he like leans into his identity right and he's like yeah I'm a conservative black guy and if you don't like me that makes you a racist and then he doesn't have to be funny after that which is why we're like changing the tagline of the show to Minion Death Cult with the black bisexual co-host if you don't like it you're a bigot.
	I mean, you know, it's not a bad idea.
	It's not bad branding, honestly.
	If you're not on Patreon, you're a bigot.
	Frankly, you can say whatever you want at this point.
	You know what I mean?
	You can say the most cancelable stuff, and anyone who would call you on it has canceled themselves.
	But I wouldn't even do, like, cancelable stuff.
	I just wouldn't do any comedy at all.
	Like, at all.
	Yeah.
	Easier.
	That was much easier.
	I am just curious, uh, uh, with Terrence Hay-Williams, and perhaps you guys can give me some perspective on this, but, um...
	Is he, like, funded?
	Like, what is... What the hell is going on behind the scenes here?
	Like, Terrence K. Williams is obviously not, like, a real comedian or anything like that.
	Like, this is all kind of, like, a fake media ecosystem around, like, supporting Trump, same as, like, Diamond and Silk and all that.
	Like, who the hell is this man, for real?
	Like, where did he come from?
	The first thing I saw of Terrence K. Williams was two years ago, a year and a half or so ago, when we first covered him on the show.
	He got booked on Fox News somehow, just as a comedian.
	And he went on Fox News to talk about, kind of what Tony's alluding to, talk about a Japanese reporter who got hired by the New York Times, who had a bunch of ironic tweets substituting the word Japanese or Asian for white men.
	And basically, like, putting out all the harassing DMs she had gotten, you know, all the racism that she got.
	And she put a spin on it and said this is what it would look like if it happened to white people or whatever.
	And, you know, conservative media flipped out and said, I don't care if it's ironic racism, that's still racist.
	So they booked Terrence Williams to prove their point that ironic racism is still racism and he made fortune cookie and panda jokes about her on Fox News and got cut from the set got cut off from the segment so the first the first uh bit we covered on Terrence Williams was him reacting to him getting Like, uh, what do you call it?
	Shut down from Fox News.
	And he was just sucking on a big gulp and like looking at the camera while he said that she was eating some bad fortune cookies and then they cut the segment short on him and he just starts laughing into the camera going, that's right, that's right, I said Ling Ling, that's right.
	So, that's... I've never looked into, like, where he gets money from.
	I don't know.
	I think... I just suspected he was a hack comedian who, like, knew... who was, you know, had a name for being conservative, therefore he got booked on Fox News.
	And when you're that kind of a comedian, like, it's like shooting fish in the barrel, especially if you're a minority.
	You can, you know, sort of, like, It's like reverse affirmative action.
	You can rise very quickly through the ranks of those people just because they're desperate for like a black friend or whatever.
	Yeah, we always joke about like I could have a segment on Turning Point USA tomorrow.
	Yeah, easy.
	If I just decided to just do it, I would do it.
	That's just funny about this whole thing is like the right, like the right is always talking about how like Apparently all of us are getting checks from George Soros, which is not real.
	I wish it was.
	I wish.
	But they actually do.
	They do get checks.
	That's why they're all saying it.
	That's why Ben Shapiro says that.
	It's like, no dude, you get money from the Kochs.
	I get plenty.
	Little gems from Twitch when I play the video games, but I don't get any coke money or anything like that.
	Ben Shapiro literally got paid by two old white guys for not having sex in college.
	Or even just saying he was not having sex.
	Like, that's to your point, like, you wouldn't even have to actually not have sex.
	You could have a show on Turning Point USA tomorrow if you just started saying, like, lies.
	They're fine with that.
	Like, Candace Owens, I don't even know if, like, she believes any of this stuff.
	I think she's just, like, an opportunist, like, happy to make money.
	She's a fucking gold.
	She's leaning in.
	She's leaning in lately.
	She's fucking awful.
	She's monstrous.
	She's a big, like, coronavirus conspiracy person now, right?
	You feel like a, you know, this is not as big deal kind of thing?
	I mean, you have to be right now on the right.
	Like, that's... Oh, totally.
	Yeah, you have to.
	But she just did a live stream in response to the man who was shot while jogging.
	Yeah.
	Jesus.
	Ahmed, I can't remember his last name.
	Yeah.
	She started it off by just saying, oh, the media is calling this a modern day lynching.
	Well, actually, if you actually look at the statistics of the civil rights era, only about 35,000 lynchings occurred.
	And if you extrapolate that to how many black people there were around, it's actually a pretty small percentage of the population.
	Ah, okay.
	So no lynching was important.
	There's no lynching.
	None of it was a big deal, I guess, right?
	She started the hashtag, not just a jogger.
	Because at some point, they're saying earlier that day, there's footage of him like on a construction site doing nothing, doing absolutely nothing.
	He's on a construction site, just kind of checking it out.
	Like he doesn't even touch a beam.
	Yeah.
	And she's saying, well, he entered this property illegally.
	So this is no longer even a crime.
	Yeah.
	And she started the hashtag, not just a jogger.
	This is a person that doesn't believe in anything, though.
	Fuck Candace Owens, for real.
	She's so full of self-hatred.
	Can you imagine being a black woman in America and feeling that way, let alone a dark black woman?
	That's gnarly.
	You have so much self-hatred.
	Oh, it makes me sick.
	It makes me so sick.
	Fuck her.
	We'll have a little more about Candace Owens in the second half of this episode, but let's go ahead and start talking about the deplorable Saturday night special.
	Specifically, Terrence K. Williams says, We are coming for Hollywood.
	We are changing the game.
	Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon, and SNL are no longer funny.
	Help us defeat unfunny SNL tonight.
	I can't disagree with some of that stuff.
	Like, as far as the mission statement goes, you know, they have isolated... It's the same as Trump.
	It's the same as Trump.
	Like, what Trump did when he was running in 2016 is he, like, isolated the correct problems and then offered the wrong solutions.
	Exactly.
	The deplorables are the same way.
	They're diagnosing the problem but offering, like, the complete wrong solution.
	I mean absolutely like this deplorable Saturday Night Live is like the equivalent of like more tax credits to small businesses.
	People who have been failing upwards and not earned anything they've gotten just let's hand them some more of it.
	I am a big-time SNL hater.
	I don't like SNL at all.
	And I watched this deplorable Saturday Night Live last night, and I'm like, you know, SNL, they make SNL look good.
	They have figured out a way to make SNL at its absolute worst look good.
	That's really their biggest crime of the night.
	Yeah, I agree.
	Yeah, I walked away from it thinking, oh man, it has its place.
	And NBC comedy has done more damage to them.
	American politics and, like, NBC News.
	Yeah, that's true.
	And I still felt like, oh no, this is a good thing.
	At least it's not this.
	I was like, well, yeah, SNL is still okay, yeah.
	Yeah, so let's kind of go through these segments here, okay?
	These sketches, if you can call it that.
	So the show overall was kind of just like a number of disconnected segments, all pre-taped.
	Kind of like, With these, you know, interstitial graphic pieces with the same song playing, you know, basically just like title sequences.
	Yeah, the first one is Terrence K. Williams sitting next to a skeleton with a wig and a, like, scarf shawl type thing.
	And she is supposed to be Nancy Pelosi.
	And as other people have noticed, it's kind of funny that the skeleton is still bigger than Terrence K. Williams.
	And the whole bit consists of him telling Nancy Pelosi as the skeleton that she can only have one glass of wine.
	And it's like two and a half minutes of him having a fake one-sided argument with the skeleton about how the skeleton drinks wine too much.
	It's really, really long.
	It's really, really long.
	And you know what?
	It just, it doesn't work on so many levels, but the length, and you know, if I'm gonna really note it on, like, sketch comedy levels, I just think the specificity was not there.
	Like, you know, you can get out more Pelosi jokes and stuff like that, but for this just to be, you know, a one side of a conversation of someone kind of being like, you gotta stop drinking so much And now you're saying you want to drink more.
	Now you want to drink more?
	You better not drink more!
	Like, it's like, I'm not that interesting and, you know, Terrence could benefit from having some better writers on his side.
	Honestly, like you guys, you're kind of hating because this is an art that's really hard to tackle.
	I think he did okay.
	I think he really, really shat the bed when he was talking about the segment later on, and that's when it was worst to me.
	But yeah, I respect this effort.
	This is a bold move.
	Well it's, I don't know, I think a through line of this whole special is not having any jokes apparently written for anyone, any of these segments.
	There's one sketch that I think stands out notably for having like a format and having, I don't know, an idea or a concept behind it, but like everything that Terrence K. Williams does in general, but it's most glaring in this comedy special,
	is he doesn't have jokes he doesn't write anything down or think of anything ahead of time and so the runtime of whatever bit he's doing is just it consists of one idea repeated ad nauseum with different faces on and different like
	uh you know non-verbal exasperations like that sort of thing when you're just like sighing at a skeleton uh over and over and it's it's quite unbearable um i think the next segment is well it's like an interstitial between him and uh What's that guy's name?
	The country singer Tony?
	The blonde haired fella?
	Is he a country singer or is he like another?
	Steve McGraw.
	He was like a big country star.
	He was like a big country star in the late 90s or early 2000s.
	He was like huge.
	He's like a very legitimate... He's an arena tour country star.
	What's a song he sang?
	You gotta give us more than... I don't know, man.
	I don't believe you then, Tony.
	You're telling me this like it's interesting information.
	Alex, you're putting me in a place, man.
	How am I gonna look to the streets if I tell you the Steve McGraw songs?
	It just sounds like maybe he wasn't that big of a deal then.
	I couldn't tell you any of the songs.
	I can't tell you... The one about Johnny's daddy?
	That song?
	That's a song?
	Did he have a barbecue stain on his white t-shirt?
	That's the only one I can remember from the 90s.
	So I was actually looking into this a little bit, and this man's name is Steve McRib.
	Is he, is this a different person or is there a different, is there a Steve McGraw?
	Because Steve McGrew is who was in this special.
	He's a conservative comedian named Steve McGrew.
	You're absolutely right.
	I was like, oh it is McGrew.
	Yeah, so this guy, this guy, he looks like he should be a country star.
	I went through, I went through the same journey.
	I went through the same journey that you did.
	Where I thought he was a big deal country star and then looked up his name and was like, I'm wrong about that.
	He's just another comedian.
	He's another online Trump comedian.
	It's Steve Mudflap McGrew.
	And that's why when Tony was telling me he was a country singer, I'm like, okay, I don't, I don't remember a mudflap from, uh, I think I just, I think I just did a racism.
	Wow!
	Yeah, you really did.
	I'm sorry about that, guys.
	I didn't realize.
	My bad.
	So anyway, he and Terrence Williams are bantering back and forth, like on a Zoom call or whatever, and Steve McGrew's like, hey, how'd you get an actress to look just like Nancy Pelosi?
	You know, the skeleton thing.
	That's really all he says.
	He's like, it really looks like her.
	Oh no, that was Nancy Pelosi.
	That really was her, and then he's all, just kidding, I was lying, I can't front, that wasn't Nancy Pelosi.
	And then we cut to, I think, the Dr. Phil segment?
	Is that next?
	Oh my god, I think so.
	So the Dr. Phil segment is the impressionist doing an impression of Dr. Phil talking to the coronavirus, is really what it is?
	Yeah, he's talking to the coronavirus, and he's giving, like, the coronavirus life advice.
	You know, like, they're a woman in, like, relationship trouble or something, and he's basically telling the coronavirus that humanity's just not that into you.
	Yeah, and also, like, the kind of subtext of this is, like, that you're not as deadly as, like, as you should be.
	Like, you're kind of like a punk.
	One of the only jokes in the segment is more people have died of a heart attack while smoking a cigarette while getting into a car accident into their backyard pool.
	And I've heard that joke, that specific joke, from conservatives already.
	But yeah, that's another, that's one of the jokes they have in here.
	Yeah.
	And then we go to, I think, the deplorable choir music video.
	I'll take an extra help in cause there ain't nowhere to go.
	Nothing else to do but stuff my face here at home.
	Don't even know what day it is.
	I'm afraid I've lost track.
	After quarantine, I'll be as big as one of Carole Baskin's cats.
	She did it!
	Now my friends are gonna find out what I really look like.
	No Botox, spray tans, or highlights.
	Overserved and overfilled in this quarantine life.
	My friends are gonna find out what I really look like.
	Which, is this an original piece?
	Is this a new original piece from Deplorable Choir?
	Because I tried to look it up, and I don't think it's on their YouTube or anything like that.
	Yeah, I think so.
	This is a debut song, but they didn't hype it up at all as any of that.
	It was just like, and now, the Deplorable Choir.
	It's not good.
	It's not one of their good pieces.
	And the song is, uh, All My Friends Are Gonna Finally See What I Really Look Like, or something, because we're all in quarantine.
	It's a song about being in quarantine and not being able to get your hair done and not being able to get your Botox or whatever, so all your friends are gonna finally see what you really look like.
	It's another one of their boring songs with an affected southern accent and fairly simplistic, you know, three chord melody.
	And the only notable part of this music video, which is just like shots of them, you know, eating way too much food around the house and like having an eyelash hanging down in their front of their face.
	The only notable part is when the singer shows ass on screen.
	I mean, that I thought was notable, and I was like, that's odd for the deplorable choir to do that in this, I guess.
	Go ahead.
	Go ahead, deplorable choir.
	Had the word boom scripted across her butt.
	Onlyfans.com slash deplorable choir.
	She shows her underweared butt while she's trying to pull up her jeans and the joke is that her ass is too fat now because she hasn't been exercising and she's been eating too much and I think the line is when this is over the government's gonna have to rezone my ass and she's trying to pull up her jeans over her fat ass and her friend is like the other singer is like face level with the ass looking at the camera It's a good shot.
	It's like one of the few good shots in this whole special, I think.
	What I thought was really brave was that one of them is pregnant right now.
	And there was a whole lot of her pregnant torso, which is pretty rare to see.
	Sorry, Tony.
	This is another Steve McGrew, Steve McGraw example here.
	She was wearing a false fat belly.
	Oh wow!
	No!
	It wasn't real?
	No, she was supposed to look fat, not pregnant.
	That's weird.
	Because you can see her stomach and you can see that it's like a plastic, like any belly button.
	She was just supposed to look fat from quarantine.
	Right, no, that was just a sort of cheap fat suit.
	That's really funny.
	I kind of avoided making eye contact with it because I didn't want to get too horny watching the deplorable sign out live.
	At first I was like, oh, that's very brave.
	But that butt shot, that was right in our face.
	We couldn't avoid that.
	But also, in their defense, they all looked like shit.
	They all looked fucking terrible.
	No they didn't.
	Quarantine is affecting them.
	They looked fine.
	They looked fine.
	They all did look great.
	I did like that this song didn't have any racism in it.
	This is a very normie, deplorable choir song.
	Because I've been watching a lot of coronavirus parody songs or whatever.
	This is like a super mainstream deplorable choir song, you know.
	Yeah.
	Which, you know, the rest of the content of this special was very, very Trumpy.
	So you almost wonder if that was a choice, you know, because deplorable choir does typically do some pretty heavily Trumpy songs.
	I don't know.
	Yeah.
	They do their their thing is like the whole cutesy like Sarah Palin type you know mama bear suburban conservatism which is like you know grading on a certain level but on another level it's not like they're yelling the screaming the words Chinese virus at you or something yeah it's it's more just like soft racism like sort of pull up your pants type racism when it does pop up
	Yeah.
	But yeah, theirs is more of like a live, laugh, love, Trump-ism.
	I think one of their more recent songs was like a bat soup type song, which gives you an idea of what the... It's like they play ukulele songs and sing about how Chinese people eat bat soup and that's fucked up.
	Oh, okay.
	I take it back.
	All right.
	I hadn't seen that one.
	Yeah, so next we go to what I think was just the standout segment.
	A sketch about, like, coronavirus stranded-at-home workout tips from the Hodge twins.
	We've talked about the Hodge twins at least once on this show.
	I don't remember what video we covered from the Hodge twins, but they are the bodybuilding twins who, like, growl and grunt at the camera.
	It's very unsettling.
	There is like an incredible amount of seething rage under the surface of these two young men.
	Hey, we're the Horse Twins and as you can see, we in our garage.
	In the garage, man.
	Now, a lot of y'all been stuck at home in quarantine because this damn China flu.
	Yeah, we call it China flu because it's Chinese!
	And apparently they used to be like bodybuilder YouTubers before they made their conservative Trump turn.
	That's what I heard, yeah.
	So before they got paid.
	Maybe that's why they have a bit more on-screen presence.
	They kind of know how to like position both of themselves on screen at a given time.
	And this was just, it was the best segment, it was the most entertaining, and it was also I think The most fun to talk about tonight.
	Absolutely.
	Yeah, so this is an interesting segment.
	This is, like, Democrat-based workouts that you can do at home while, yeah, while, you know, during these times, I guess.
	Right.
	It's not just coronavirus-based.
	It's Democratic-themed workouts.
	So one of them was, oh, the first one was the Obama.
	Was that the first one?
	And so what was new?
	Bulma again?
	You were bowing for your abs.
	Oh, right, because you're bowing to foreigners.
	He's like, imagine it's Iran or whatever.
	The punchline was so fucking good, too.
	Because after every demonstration, he's all, one, give me two more.
	Give me three more bows.
	Give me three more bows.
	And he's all, how do you feel?
	I feel like a Muslim.
	It makes no sense.
	It's so good.
	It actually is, like, you know, it's funny to see what the sort of, like, go-to jokes are from conservatives.
	I'm like, oh, they're, like, still pissed off about, like, Obama, like, bowing or something.
	Like, okay, I guess that's what it is.
	There's so much more to be mad at Obama about, but go ahead.
	Well, we talked about this just on the last Patreon episode.
	Like, they can't be mad at Obama for the right reasons, because those are the reasons they would like Obama for.
	Yes, the deportations, the drone bombings, all that stuff is like stuff that they would have to give him credit for.
	But yeah, the bowing thing is great because like one of the most popular memes from like two years ago is a photoshopped meme of Obama's body folded in half.
	Like they took the top half of his torso and rotated it 90 degrees and then put him standing next to the Ayatollah.
	Jesus.
	And people just think it's real.
	Like people think that that's just a real thing that happened that Obama went to Iran and folded his body in half, you know, like, like that episode of Futurama where Bender folds the professor in half.
	So that's that's why it's still around I think.
	Another workout routine they did was the AOC.
	And this is the one where you take a light weight and you shake it by your head like you're a bartender mixing a drink.
	It's funny because I got worried when they did that because they were talking about it and they like they like get the light weight and they say get light weight and put it over your shoulder and start and they start shaking and they're doing over both shoulders and they say pretend like you're in college and I'm like oh this is a really Bad joke.
	And he goes, and you're a bartender.
	I was like, okay, cool.
	They're not going to make any weird dick jokes here.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	No, this was like, you're right that this was like shockingly wholesome, but that was simply a setup for what might come later on.
	Yeah, let's just get right into it.
	So, uh, this final one is called the Don Lemon, and you're gonna need a partner for this one.
	Fortunately, there are two of these Hodge twins, so they can both... Twins!
	Brothers.
	Brothers.
	Twin brothers.
	Twin jacked brothers with piercing light eyes, okay?
	Yeah.
	One of the twin brothers folds the other brother down and says, see, he's bent over.
	He can feel it in his glutes.
	He can feel it in his thighs.
	And so what you're going to do is you're going to take a five pound weight and you're going to add some resistance.
	And so the second brother gets behind the first brother who's bent over.
	Brothers!
	and then lays his body on top of like mounts him essentially like lays his body on top of the other brother's brother starts to sort of mind but fucking the other brother reaches the weight around
	through like interlaces his arm through the front brother's arms which are on his knees as he's bent over and then starts miming jerking off his twin brother with the weight in order to demonstrate the Don Lemon which this is one of the funnier things ever because I'm like do you guys think you're like owning Don Lemon right now like We'll show Don Lemon.
	I'm gonna pretend to, like, jack off my brother.
	Yo, we're gonna own Don Lemon so hard because he's gonna go to Pornhub later, he's gonna type in twins, and there's gonna be a video of us pretending to jerk off, and he's gonna come to completion, but not before he sees his own name as the butt of the joke in the bottom left hand corner.
	And it's like, dude, you just came to a joke making fun of you.
	I just, the whole idea is great because, like, what kind of awful insult is like, like, Don Lemon has, like, top-notch sex, is what you just said.
	Don Lemon has, like, an amazing... Right, it is funny, it's like Don Lemon is a gay guy, and so you're just saying, like, Don Lemon, like, gets laid.
	You know what I mean?
	Like, Don Lemon... Don Lemon, like, fucks.
	And, like, that's... Doesn't that suck?
	I'm like, I don't know, like... I actually usually think people typically think he's pretty cool to fuck, but go ahead.
	So at first I thought it was like oh this is like wild because I mean for conservative dudes um this is not a joke they would like this is a little pretty de-performative for to like not be like I'm surprised at no point did they go like oh no homo like during doing like during the skit um but I think they have this like beautiful genius idea with like hey if we don't talk about who's who like we don't talk about which twins in which position they can't tell which one of us is the gayer one so
	So either one of us can say, like, hey, where'd you feel it?
	And then you can go, in my ass, and it's not, like, they can't pin it on either one of us.
	God, that being the punchlines, by the way, it's, uh... Yeah, the big spoon says, oh man, I can feel it in my forearm, because he was the one, you know, jerking off the other brother.
	And then he said, where do you feel it?
	And he goes, in my ass!
	And it's like a good delivery.
	I mean, it's, you know, it's not a bad joke considering the, like, bit they decided to go with.
	You know, it fits the bit, basically.
	And, yeah, they've just got a good presence, you know, and I don't know, like, I think, you know, I'll say it right here, this entire comedy special would have been actually funny if every one of these bits was being done ironically.
	If every one of these bits was being done as a bad bit, it would have been incredibly funny.
	It would have been successful.
	Like this whole thing about jerking off your own brother to own Don Lemon or whatever, like that's beyond any Matt Bohr's comic that he could come up with.
	Like, this is beyond, like, eating, you know, overcooked steaks to own the libs or whatever.
	Like, this is an insane level of derangement that we got to see on camera, and I feel blessed for that.
	I just hope these twin brothers got paid a lot of money to pretend to have sex with each other on camera to make fun of a CNN anchor.
	I'm sure they got, I hope they got $300 or whatever the hell they got paid to be in this.
	The funniest thing you could do to make fun of Don Lemon is just post a screenshot of that CNN segment where he's holding A cue card with the word, the n-word in all caps on it.
	Oh my god!
	The word, the n-word.
	But the actual word and then underneath it says, does this offend you?
	It's like the single funniest image I've ever seen.
	Yeah, yeah.
	It's pretty great.
	Yeah.
	Because like everything else, like any of Don Lemon's gaffes are like fucking tight.
	Like, when he gets, like, when he gets blitzed on the ears, Eve, I love that.
	That's funny to me.
	That fucking rules.
	I want to party with Don Lemon.
	Yeah, so, uh, the next segment was like a fake news anchor, like a fake, you know, weekend update type thing.
	And it's a guy, I don't know who this guy is, um, talking from behind the desk, like, to himself as a correspondent from the kitchen.
	Uh, and the whole joke is that the dishwasher broke, uh, at his home because there's too many dishes and, uh, there's too many wine glasses, like, backing up in the sink because you have to hand wash them.
	This was another very normie, like, sketch premise.
	Like, that's what made me feel like there's maybe some sort of, like, structure to this show, where they're trying to, like, make it not so Trump-y for a couple moments.
	It's very, very just, like, normie observational COVID humor kind of stuff.
	Yeah, or, like, borderline Bible Belt shit.
	That's, but again, I just, I don't understand the concept behind it.
	Like if you're at home all day, wouldn't you just like use the same wine glass and just like rinse it out?
	Like, I don't know why you need a new wine glass when you're not even like changing locations.
	You know, there's not even like a, what do you, like a reset period.
	Like, I don't know, like if, if I leave a glass out overnight or something and then go to work the next day and then come back and be like, ah, maybe I don't use that glass again.
	But if it's just like, An all-day thing.
	I'm using that same wine glass, for sure.
	Another, like, update from, like, the coronavirus reality in which we're living is that there have been more Bigfoot sightings and that's, like, that would be kind of a funny joke.
	Like, people are losing their minds and they're just, like, imagining more Bigfoots than usual, you know?
	It reminds me of, I think, I think it's a Simpsons joke where somebody's talking about how great Springfield is and they're like yeah just more more angel sightings than anywhere in the U.S.
	It just reminded me of that and that's a funny joke but no the punchline is scientists say this is because most barber shops are still closed and people are unable to get their hair cut and so they look like Bigfoot.
	Yep and so he's like oh that's the most like that's the lamest answer you could have came up with.
	I almost like didn't get the joke.
	Well that's like you start with the conservative problem you're like conservatives are unhappy that they can get haircuts so what's the funny like version of that it's like I guess people look like Bigfoot now say like Can't get a haircut, or whatever.
	I mean, what would be funny is if, like, you did a don't tread on me overthrow of your state government because you couldn't get the haircut.
	Like, that would be... That's kind of funny.
	That would be kind of funny.
	That's just what's happening.
	But that's, like, the good thing.
	That's the, you know, that's what they want to happen.
	That's what's actually happening, yeah.
	Then we get, yeah, Steve Mudflap McGrew doing a bit where he's wearing drag as Quarantina, who is, quote, the trailer park Martha Stewart.
	And I don't remember anything from this bit.
	It's him in front of a green screen.
	Uh, with a dirty, like, living room behind him, and it's just him in a wig and sunglasses talking about, um, having sex, I think.
	What?
	There was something else I wanted to tell you.
	Oh, yeah.
	I am single, boys.
	Mm-hmm.
	I know a lot of guys are more attracted to my sister, Trailer Swift.
	She is just, she's kind of crazy.
	Not like me.
	Like, you know, I'm the sane one in the family.
	That's why I love a house that feels open and inviting to so many people.
	There was one joke I liked where they referred to their friend Trailer Swift.
	That was funny to me.
	Trailer Swift?
	Oh yes, this was when Steve McGrew was pretending to be a lady.
	And mind you, I'm watching this thinking, oh man, this big country star is doing this bit.
	This is really brave of him.
	Wow, he's really like threatening his own career by coming after Taylor Swift like that.
	That's totally what I was thinking, yeah.
	The next segment is Terrence pretending to sleep while Hillary talks to Joe Biden and this is like...
	This is an incredible performance.
	Most people were like, hey, uh, this, this segment was really boring.
	I didn't understand it.
	Like you're actually making Joe Biden look sympathetic for falling asleep while listening to Hillary Clinton.
	Like, I don't know if that's what you meant to do.
	Uh, I believe Tim Heidecker even called Terrence Williams out for this bit on Twitter and said, Hey Terrence, like this is bad, dude.
	This isn't funny.
	I'm going to disagree with, you know, one of my comedy heroes, Tim Heidecker.
	I think this is Terrence K. Williams' masterpiece.
	I think this is Terrence K. Williams, like, stripped down, bare bones, just the distilled essence of his comedy.
	This is like Terrence K. Williams' moon-shaped pool, okay?
	It's Terrence K. Williams not saying a word, not doing anything other than nodding his head for a minute and a half while in split screen with Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton.
	And this is his usual shtick of just reacting.
	It's a swan song.
	Yes, yes.
	This is this is him like I don't know, the pure essence of his own comedy.
	He doesn't even make a sound, he doesn't say a word, he just nods his head and closes his eyes and it's his performance.
	He could have stabbed himself in the stomach at the end of this performance and have lived a full life.
	Yeah, it's sad because to me it really does speak on a lot of the socioeconomic issues that do present themselves when it comes to Hollywood and privilege.
	Had Terrence K. Williams been given a fair shake, had someone said to Terrence K. Williams, hey maybe you should join the drama program.
	Hey, maybe you should, you know, try improv, you know?
	Maybe you should actually be a real thespian.
	I think that Terrence K. Williams, we would be talking about him in a completely different light now.
	I think that he would have been a genius.
	I think that if he was given the attention he deserves, I think we could get like a sequel to Moonlight.
	Wow.
	I think you said thespian, and that was kind of funny.
	I did.
	The last segment is a sketch wherein Alec Baldwin, quote, Alec Baldwin prepares for an SNL skit.
	So this is our impressionist and he hasn't done Trump for the entire thing.
	He's supposed to be a Trump impressionist.
	This is the only Trump impression we get and it's him doing Trump but like speaking as Alec Baldwin, real.
	Yes, so it's John D. Domenico playing Alec Baldwin playing Trump, but he's only doing a Trump impression.
	He's only doing the Trump impression and he's standing behind a podium like it's, you know, a Trump impression, but this is supposed to be taking place before the sketch, the sketch within this sketch actually happens.
	Uh, and yet for some reason Alec Baldwin is still doing Trump or whatever.
	And like he, part of the jokes, one of the jokes is that he gets a call from his brother Daniel and he's like, no, I don't like that guy.
	He's a Trump guy.
	You know, I'm a, I'm a Hollywood liberal.
	He's going to tell me how good Trump is or how cool Trump is.
	Yeah, and there's just the only other joke that I can remember is he's calling out Trump for having an immigrant wife and being a New York celebrity or something.
	And then somebody else says, Oh, no, that's you, Alec Baldwin.
	Right.
	Yeah.
	And I guess Alec Baldwin might have a wife who's an immigrant.
	I don't know.
	And I guess maybe that's Kind of funny is like a bit of liberal hypocrisy, but it's not really underlined.
	They don't make that the focus of the bit or anything.
	It's just Alec Baldwin being an annoying, like, foppish guy doing a Trump impression.
	And this is what I was getting at earlier.
	This would be a funny idea if the idea were a hack comedian can't do an impression of some different celebrity so he has to do that celebrity doing the hack Donald Trump impression.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Like somebody tells him, we want you to do an Alec Baldwin impression.
	And he's like, oh, okay, yeah, I got it.
	And he just does Alec Baldwin doing Trump.
	Yeah, I mean, it's clear that this guy John Domenico.
	I looked him up after this and I'm like where the fuck is this like the deplorables Trump impersonator or whatever and I think he's just like a Florida area impressions guy and I'm sure that he just does a Trump impression and he'll read whatever the fuck you tell him to do.
	You know, I think that these, you know, the Four Bulls Night Live had an issue with like, we have a Trump impressionist, but we can't do any anti-Trump comedy.
	So here's the solution.
	We'll just have him read lines and say he's Alec Baldwin.
	What I thought was, I think this is like the most scathing indictment of Saturday Night Live because it did show like how like little, how little talent it takes you to do a Trump impression and how like doing this will in fact not save the Republic.
	In some ways, yeah.
	This is actually trying to indict Saturday Night Live.
	It is saying, look how hacked Saturday Night Live is.
	Yeah, but then also doing this at the end of what we just watched, this is like their thesis.
	At the end of deplorable Saturday night and I'm like you have to, Terrence has to do a better job if you're gonna end with this thesis, you know what I mean?
	I really do wonder who wrote this and where the fuck this comes from and like what the purpose of it is.
	I was not looking into who financed it but just like where it all comes from and it does seem like this all sort of is around like a talent agency in Florida so I feel like this is kind of like This, you know, world of, like, the villages and Trump in Florida and everything, like, this is sort of the, like, new Florida media ecosystem coming to fruition.
	Like, this is, like, really only intended for this, like, made in Florida and intended for elderly people in Florida to watch.
	Like, this is a closed circuit Florida, specifically like St.
	Petersburg, Florida is like our version of, uh, whatever it is, 1955 or whatever year it is in Back to the Future that exists as like the
	The nexus point for like the fulcrum of history like that's that's our fulcrum of history is Florida like the next segment that we're gonna get to shortly here is based in Florida and that's not intentional at all it's just this whatever I don't know whatever comes across my feed that I'm like oh this would be good for the show it's somehow associated with Florida like Well, I think that Florida is, like, coming up as its own separate America.
	You know what I mean?
	Like, this is where, like, all the retirement homes are and, like, you know, uh, you know, old people don't need it to be funny.
	They just need it to look like it might be funny because it's all confusing anyway.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	You know, like, this is the same as SNL to some people who really just are reacting to, like, noise and colors coming off the screen.
	You know what I mean?
	Hey, you guys want to hear my Dana Carvey impression?
	Oh yeah!
	Absolutely.
	Read my lips.
	No new taxes.
	See, there we go.
	Yep, that's a good Dana Carvey.
	That was exactly the name.
	Want to hear my Will Ferrell impression?
	Please.
	Of course.
	Poppy!
	Man, you can probably do all of SNL.
	That's incredible.
	Give me another SNL character.
	I literally don't remember who did Obama.
	Who used to play Obama?
	Fred Armisen.
	That's real, huh?
	That's a real answer, isn't it?
	Pretty much a white guy.
	A white guy.
	Yeah!
	Man, I forgot that Fred Armisen did blackface.
	Alright, yeah, I don't think I'm allowed to do a Fred Armisen impression.
	I think that would be in bad taste.
	You guys can't see it, but he's doing the perfect thumb.
	The perfect pointing thumb.
	But that's all.
	You guys can't see that.
	That's something that I've only heard you, Tony, talk about.
	I've never heard anybody else, like, reference Obama pointing with his fist and thumb.
	It's something he definitely does, but I don't think anyone's noticed that except for you, Tony.
	You need more black friends, Alex.
	That's probably it.
	That's it.
	That's all we talk about with Obama.
	That's the only thing we really like.
	That and his jump shot.
	And that was really it.
	And that picture with all the rappers.
	That was a cool picture.
	So the Trump, the Alec Baldwin impression sketch is the final sketch of the show.
	And for some reason he's the one who says, live from Florida, it's deplorables night.
	Live from America.
	Live from America.
	It's deplorables Saturday night.
	Tight.
	And then I was like, oh, is it was that all just a cold open?
	Was that like 35 minutes of cold open that I just watched?
	But then the feed, the stream just looped on itself and started over.
	Yeah.
	Now, I think for the intended audience, many of them might have thought that there was continuing stream.
	Like, I think they might have just continued watching and were like, wow, more stuff.
	I think that's a fair guess.
	Although I did see the chat, they left the chat on, which the Joe Biden campaign doesn't do.
	The pluribles did that.
	And people, for the most part, were like, this sucks.
	Like, this sucks, it's embarrassing.
	Well, Tony and I had some fun in the chat.
	We liked the twins a lot in the chat.
	We talked about how much we liked the twins and people agreed with us.
	I mean, the twins are stars.
	The twins are stars.
	They gotta get off all this, like, Trump bullshit.
	Like, they fucked themselves over with this stuff.
	Yeah.
	Tony at one point commented, can I get an amen in the chat for white women?
	Debbie Alexander replied, amen!
	Debbie Alexander replied, Amen!
	Amen.
	Which rules?
	I think we were talking about why we're moving in like two totally different ways, but I mean, I'll let you know.
	Hey, what's up, Debbie?
	Debbie enters like, you know, the fucking Target or she enters like the, uh, you know, the, the public pool.
	Hobby Lobby.
	The Hobby Lobby.
	And she's like, Hey, where are all the white women at?
	Because like, she wants to know where to stand.
	So all in all, I think success.
	They got a thousand views on Facebook and lots of fun times were had, lots of laughs.
	I think we're ready to move on to the next segment here.
	What do you guys say?
	Yeah, you know, I think this was a big success for the Deplorables.
	I hope they do this every Saturday night.
	God, that'd be great.
	If they would commit to that.
	It's gonna be hard.
	I think they left it all on the table from last night.
	I really do think they did.
	Okay, so our next segment revolves around a televangelist from, you guessed it, Florida named Jeremiah Johnson.
	Okay, this is a TV personality but he also like preaches at a mega church in Lakeview or Lake something Florida.
	And just a little background on this guy.
	He was one of the pastors who was still like encouraging people to come out for service during the lockdown.
	You know, I know different states have like eased up on their respective lockdowns, but this was back when people were taking it more seriously and he was like Still posting videos of him and his entire congregation congratulating his congregation for refusing to comply with the lockdown order.
	Saying like God was going to protect you.
	Not only God was going to protect you, but this man is a faith healer.
	So the videos were not only of a packed church of people gathering together to, you know, worship God or whatever.
	It was also him laying hands on the congregants to heal them of their various maladies.
	Yes.
	In the middle of coronavirus.
	So, that's the kind of guy we're dealing with.
	Another quick post that's very funny to me.
	With the recent release of the Plandemic videos online, which is like a video, you know, a conspiracy theory video that supposedly debunks the coronavirus and explains the Illuminati plot to get you to stay at home.
	or whatever i am being absolutely bombarded with messages calls and texts from national church leaders and saints who are quote sorry they slandered me and called me a quote false prophet i wish i could publish some of these letters and voicemails i am receiving every hour honestly i accept the apologies and thousands who are just trying to encourage me but always remember True prophets do not take polls, nor do they listen to internet trolls.
	They simply listen and obey the audience of one.
	And he like signs every post he does.
	Dash Jeremiah Johnson.
	So I like a pastor making a Facebook post about all the haters.
	How the haters finally had to apologize to him and admit that he was right.
	And you know what?
	He's going to accept their apology actually.
	I would love to show you these apologies.
	That would totally vindicate me.
	I just can't.
	Don't know how to train shot.
	Don't know how to train shot.
	Getting to the one post that I've just been dying to cover.
	This is a post that we've been thinking about covering for a few weeks here now.
	It's an amazing post, okay?
	It's a post that has a title.
	That's how you know it's a good post.
	When the poster puts a title in their post.
	They're trying to make this medium level.
	This is now a medium level post.
	You're laughing, but y'all don't know about SEO.
	That's, I mean, that's a fair point.
	Like it's pretty easy to search this now.
	So the title of this is Siren Emoji, Joe Biden and the Three Shocking Visions.
	Siren Emoji.
	Prophetic Dream received April 14th, 2020.
	On Tuesday night, I went to sleep and had a dream where I found myself walking into a hospice.
	I was unaware who I was there to see, but proceeded into a large bedroom.
	Upon entering, I immediately noticed a large sign above the bed that read, First Kings 1, 1-2, which says, Now King David was old, advanced in age, and they covered him with clothes, but he could not keep warm.
	So his servants said to him, let them seek a young virgin for my lord the king and let her attend the king and become his nurse and let her lie in your bosom that my lord the king may keep warm.
	Perplexed as to why this verse was in this bedroom, I looked down on the bed and there was Joe Biden, shivering and frail as if he was very cold.
	I asked God, what is the meaning of this?
	And he responded back to me and said, the man before you is not a threat, but it will be those who work overseeing and managing him while he is frail and elderly.
	That will be a challenge.
	For he is a mere puppet, a decoy of sorts, to distract many from what is really taking place behind the scenes.
	Keep your eyes on the woman who they will place beside Joe, for she will seek to reinvigorate and seduce many.
	As long as this guy doesn't get a virgin, he's not a threat.
	Just don't give this guy a virgin.
	I think this is now maybe a good time to like pause right here and you know reflect and also I want to put this in a context for people.
	So this was April 14th.
	This was before the Tara Reid allegation.
	This was before That's sort of what the conversation around Joe Biden is right now, at least among anybody who's not 100% in the bag for Joe Biden.
	The main conversation around Joe Biden was that he has dementia.
	He's losing his mind.
	He's incapable of performing daily tasks, let alone overseeing the country or whatever.
	So that's what this prophetic dream relates to.
	Now it might seem like a little bit cryptic and coded and mysterious, but I think what he's trying to say by showing Joe Biden in a bed old and frail and shivering and comparing him to King David who was advanced in old age, I think what he's trying to say is that Joe Biden is old.
	Yeah, that's it.
	And I think he's trying to say that Joe Biden is weak, okay?
	Yeah.
	It's pretty expertly hidden within simile and metaphor, but now that you've sort of broken away all the layers, it does appear that that might be the intention here.
	Now that you've unpacked it a bit.
	Yeah.
	It's a little bit for me to wrap my head around, but now that I'm looking at it, it does seem as though the text supports that.
	Well, that's why we're the podcasters, you know?
	Yeah, and I'm just another different podcaster.
	Well, I'm able to, like, you know, convey this message to you in another way because you're also a podcaster.
	If you're still confused at home, listener, maybe you should start a podcast and then you will, I don't know, gain the skills necessary at deciphering this, you know, thick metaphor here.
	But before you start a podcast, pick up a Bible.
	Pick up a Bible and start learning that.
	That's what we did.
	That's how we all started.
	That's where it all began.
	The second part of this is comparing a... Are you familiar with... I know Tony's not, despite having been raised in the Catholic Church.
	Are you, Jack, familiar with the Old Testament?
	Are you familiar with King David?
	Am I familiar with King David?
	Do you know what this like what the results of King David having a young virgin whispering into his ear was?
	Like that's he was probably seduced by the harlot and like his his uh you know edicts and his will and God's will were twisted because of you know the through through the tongue of of this young uh Jezebel.
	I don't know.
	I don't know the story.
	I don't know the story of it.
	I guess I have to get my Bible in, to be honest with you.
	I gotta start getting back on the Bible and, you know, get back to it.
	So, using context clues for myself, I'm, you know, what is it here?
	For he is a mere puppet, a decoy of sorts.
	Um, keep your eyes on the woman who they will place beside Josh for she will seek to reinvigorate and seduce many.
	So that leads me to believe that like, you know, whoever they assigned to, uh, keep King David warm was actually a net negative, you know, for people who liked King David or whatever.
	Um, so I, uh, we all know who this woman they're alluding to, right?
	The Vice President?
	He's gonna pick the woman?
	Joe Biden has said that he's going to pick a woman as Vice President.
	And she will be the one to twist the truth and seduce the masses.
	She is the one for us to keep our eyes on.
	Wow.
	That makes sense.
	That makes sense.
	Not Biden.
	Don't worry about Biden.
	He's just frail and white and male.
	Who you gotta really watch out for is his VP.
	When you see Joe Biden, like, sleeping and nodding off, what I want you to do is I want you to look three inches to, like, the bottom right and look at which bosom Joe Biden is resting his head on.
	And that's the person that you should be afraid of.
	Wow.
	Very interesting symbolism.
	I mean this is real though because I think that we should like, I think something that's like not a joke and very serious is that we should like, you know, believe women and my grandma says that women are the devil.
	Real catch 22, yeah.
	Yeah, you know.
	So I believe, I mean who, I'm gonna not believe my grandma?
	Yeah.
	Come on.
	As I hear these words, I sat down on a chair that was beside Joe's bed and noticed he was watching television.
	This is great.
	This is so good.
	This is just such a good metaphor.
	I wonder what he's gonna see on television.
	I wonder what- this is like Lynchian right here.
	I glanced up and was startled by three colorful and distinct pictures that flashed on the screen.
	Each of the pictures turned into visions and were full of life.
	The pictures turn into visions.
	The videos that I saw, they turned into visions, and that's how you know that this is, like, poetic and a metaphor.
	It's a little bit different.
	It's different than when seeing something on TV is different than visioning something on TV.
	Especially when you're, like, already in a dream, and the TV exists within that dream.
	I was within a vision, seeing a vision TV, and that vision TV made me had a vision vision within my vision.
	Yeah, I mean, this is like, uh, it's like Inception.
	You know, there are layers to this.
	Don't even try to figure it out, folks, okay?
	It's not meant to be figured out, okay?
	This is a priest talking here, so this is higher spiritual stuff, everybody.
	The first vision that popped onto the screen was Donald Trump at a news conference.
	I wonder who Donald Trump represents in this vision within the vision.
	At a news conference, he raised a bottle in the air and the crowd went wild.
	It had hydroxychloroquine... I don't know how to say that word.
	Hydroxychloroquine?
	Chloroquine?
	I don't know.
	Written upon it.
	Yeah, quine sounds good.
	I like that.
	While the crowd went wild, it infuriated the news reporters present and they were visibly angry.
	Okay, so this vision, let's try to pierce this vision here.
	He's seeing a Donald Trump, not a Donald Trump like figure, which would have been funny if he had said that.
	Just Donald Trump.
	Just Donald Trump raising a bottle of that fucking medicine that he likes into the air and the crowd goes wild.
	But all the reporters are angry.
	They're visibly frustrated with him.
	What could that possibly mean?
	Well, if I was going to take it at the surface level, I would take it to, you know, sort of mean that, you know, maybe reporters are just sort of upset at Trump, you know, by default.
	And even when he comes up with something like hydroxychloroquine, which is going to work, and all the people are calling for it, we want it badly, it will work.
	Even the reporters still want to have a sour mood about it, you know, but that would just be a very sort of surface level reading of it.
	You know, so there might be something deeper going on.
	This guy is a priest after all.
	Like he didn't even do the the whole like there was a there was a newspaper headline I could read and it said Trump cures cancer and all the reporters were shaking their heads and furious at him.
	Like, it's not even that step removed of a metaphor.
	It's just the exact thing that's happening in real life.
	But, like, for babies, you know?
	Like, relayed for babies.
	Well, but he had it in a dream.
	From God.
	Yeah, yeah.
	The second vision that popped on the screen was Bill Gates.
	The second vision that popped on the screen?
	So those commercials are just occurring on screen?
	Yeah, yeah.
	I don't get it.
	It's a great device.
	The next vision that appeared on the Samsung LED 46-inch?
	I love the idea of a prophetic TV happening in the dream of somebody who, like, hates TVs.
	I'm having a vision and all my visions are happening on a TV within the vision.
	I think you got it backwards, Tony.
	This isn't somebody who hates TV.
	This is a televangelist.
	So he's, like, heightening his brand.
	This is, like, reaffirming the medium through which And then I received messages from God, but through the only medium that you can do that, TV.
	No, yeah, 100%.
	And then the fourth vision popped up, and it was a young, handsome, charismatic preacher, and he was telling the truth, and Facebook was limiting his posts.
	Yeah no but I also just love the idea of like TV being your symbolic representation of whatever theme you're trying to like get across like like I don't know like it'd be like if in you know Oh Brother Where Art Thou like there had been a TV playing and it was just the Odyssey it was just Homer's Odyssey playing on TV.
	Yeah, just telling on it.
	I love the lack of creativity too.
	It's like, you could have had a burning bush.
	The EKG could have started writing out words.
	There could have been a million different things, but the TV is what you came up with.
	Well, I guess it's a dream.
	He's not coming up with it.
	This is all prophetic.
	This is all, you know, This is deemed by God, so never mind.
	You know, it was crazy.
	I was watching, you know, Dark Knight Rises.
	It's like a movie that everybody loves or whatever.
	And, you know, there's like a lot of heavy metaphor in that movie.
	But I was, that one scene where it's just, you're looking at a TV that's on the TV and it says ORDER in all capital letters with Batman in front of it.
	And then it says, it changes to CHAOS with the Joker in front of it.
	Yeah.
	What were they trying to say with that?
	I don't know.
	It's pretty heady stuff.
	I don't know.
	I'm going to have to take another look at it because just you describing it there, I'm going to have to look at the rest of the mess on scene and stuff like that.
	Should I watch it with the commentary, Alex?
	Absolutely.
	Yeah, I mean, if Jeremiah Johnson's doing the commentary, which you would hope.
	He was seated before, so Bill Gates, he was seated before a court hearing concerning, quote, crimes against humanity.
	Testifying against him was a man of African descent.
	What does that mean?
	He's talking about like an African, not a man of African descent, but like an African person from Africa who lives in Africa.
	Yeah, you know, of African descent is like, I don't know, what he thinks is a PC way of saying... He's just saying, like, blah.
	Yeah, but he's trying to get the idea that, like, Bill Gates... He's from Africa.
	...was exploiting Africans, you know, which of course he is.
	Yeah, totally, yeah.
	Yeah.
	There was lots of shouting and yelling going on in the courtroom.
	Suddenly, two men burst into the trial to save Bill Gates and rescue him from the hearing.
	One man had a t-shirt on with the flag of Canada, and the other man had a t-shirt with the flag of China.
	Now, what could that represent?
	They couldn't just be holding flags.
	They had t-shirts with them on.
	Like, they could have been holding flags and, like, warrior stances, but they just had t-shirts.
	Or it could have just been, like, a Canadian man and a Chinese man.
	It's like a guy wearing the shirt of the flag of the country.
	Or it could just be, like, a Canadian, like, soldier.
	A Chinese soldier came in.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Simply wearing the t-shirts of the country.
	Which really means nothing.
	They're probably just tourists.
	That just means you've been there once, you know what I mean?
	Or your friend has.
	Just then, two men came in and saved Bill Gates.
	One of them was saying, China, China, China, China, China.
	The other one was saying, Canada, Canada, Canada, Canada.
	One of the men said, I'm China.
	The other said, I'm Canada.
	Yeah.
	Okay, next paragraph.
	Final paragraph.
	The final vision that flashed on the screen was of a young woman named Candace Owen.
	Like, you could just have these things happen in your dream.
	You really don't need the TV screen.
	But I think I hit on it when I remembered that he's a televangelist.
	And that this is just him, like, underlining the importance of TV.
	The trust that you should put on your TV screen.
	So the final vision that flashed on the screen was of a young woman named Candace Owens.
	She had an American flag draped around her and the jawbone of a donkey in her hand.
	She made an appearance at a press conference that I found intriguing because the setting was in a jungle.
	I heard the voice of God say, this one will not fit into parties or affiliations for she has been branded for the grassroots.
	Then I woke up.
	Jeremiah Johnson.
	For more, go to jeremiahjohnson.tv So when I was first reading this, I was real confused because when you're reading things for the first time, you don't see the punctuation that's about to come necessarily.
	So when he's like, this woman's name is Candace Owens, and she had the jawbone of a donkey.
	I was like, oh shit!
	But in her hands.
	I was like, oh, that's actually kind of tight imagery.
	I actually kind of like that.
	Yeah, well, if you're familiar with the Bible, which I know all of us are, it's referencing the part in the Bible where, I don't know who it was, it's fucking Moses, or somebody picks up a jawbone of an ass and slays an entire, like, army, and, like, women and children with it.
	They all, like, drop dead.
	So this is, like, she's going to murder the Democrats with this jawbone.
	Ironically with a jawbone.
	With their own jawbone.
	I find it, yeah, I find it very interesting that Candace Owens is in a jungle for some reason.
	I think that, that part's particularly interesting.
	Yeah, interesting.
	That is kind of a wild, because like there's no jungles, there's no jungles in America.
	I can say that, right?
	That's like a fact, right?
	That's true.
	I don't think anything qualifies as jungle.
	There's jungles in Mexico.
	I've been to jungles in Mexico.
	But there's no jungles in America.
	I mean, yeah, unless we're talking about the Upton Sinclair version of it.
	We have plenty of Upton Sinclair jungles.
	Do you think that's what that Guns N' Roses song was about?
	Like, harsh working conditions in the canneries and shit?
	No I think it was probably about like how a tiger will kill you if you go to the jungle.
	Oh I thought it was about like Vietnam and like the horrors of war.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, so I just, you know, I saw Candace Owens, this strong black woman, and she was wearing a clown wig and she had a boombox on her shoulder and she was blasting the truth at all those suckas in the middle of the jungle.
	And she kept saying into the megaphone the word honk over and over again.
	Yeah, you ever have like a prophetic vision about a black woman giving a press conference in the jungle?
	I know that's something that I have a lot.
	Yeah, so this was great.
	This is just amazing.
	This dude has pretty frequent prophetic visions.
	I've read a couple of them now and they're always pretty wonderful.
	Well, let me tell you something about prophets, Alex.
	They be having visions.
	It's kind of their whole bag.
	Yeah, definitely, man.
	So let's get into a couple comments here, just literally just two, which are funny.
	TJ Weaver says, Candace Owen rocks.
	That's cool!
	That's cool.
	Kenneth Owens totally rocks, dude.
	And you can tell that this guy knows what rocks because looking at his profile picture, he's holding a surfboard and the surfboard says daddies, maybe?
	Yeah, absolutely daddies.
	He's wearing like long plaid shorts.
	And an Under Armour hat, which, like, those shorts should not have been worn any time after the company Under Armour existed.
	And also, like, anybody wearing an Under Armour hat who's, like, not being paid to is a fucking dweeb.
	Yeah, that's some weird shit.
	Um, no, yeah, he looks like, uh, I don't know, he looks like he, he's the white guy in a Birdman music video from like 2001.
	Like with these pants.
	Like these, these, these pinstripe white pants that are going down to his shins.
	Uh, no t-shirt.
	Looks like a pretty cool dude.
	Well he might be cool because those shorts and that belt, the scout belt with the slide buckle, you could only get those at a swap meet.
	That's the only place you can get those two items.
	So he might be down.
	Gloria Keeler says, first time I saw Candace Owen I wrote her name down so I won't forget her.
	That's the dream.
	That's what I want to happen.
	I just want people to rewind the episode.
	Rewind the episode and be like, I think he said Tony Boswell.
	I think that's it.
	I gotta write that down.
	I mean, that's kind of what happens when people try to get into the Facebook group.
	They have to go back and listen to the podcast and write down our names as the answers to who hosts Minion Death Coal.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, no, so somebody, I just like, picture you're walking into your grandma's house, you know, maybe you're a good granddaughter or grandson and you still see your grandma like once a week or once a month or whatever.
	And you go over, you know, next to her TV and you see just like scraps of paper with Candace Owen written on it or, you know, Charlie Kirk written on it.
	And then you, being a good grandson or granddaughter, crumple those pieces of paper up and throw them in the trash can.
	Yeah, please.
	Let me set them on fire.
	Maybe do that too.
	Yeah, so that's, I believe, the episode.
	Just, wow, what a night for comedy.
	The sky is dark for all the stars that were out last night.
	The right is getting funnier, and as someone on the left, I'm very, very nervous.
	Thank you so much, Jack, for joining the show.
	We really appreciate your expertise, your comedy expertise, helping us analyze this comedy special.
	Was it funny?
	Was it not funny?
	I think parts of it definitely were, for various reasons.
	Why don't you go ahead and tell people where they can get some of your stuff?
	Well, I'm on the podcast Struggle Session, which you can find at patreon.com slash struggle session.
	Banger!
	Thank you.
	Then I also do a daily morning show on Twitch that's called Jack AM and it's at twitch.tv slash Jack AM.
	I'm on Twitter at Jack Allison, lol.
	Yeah, 100% endorse all that content.
	We have had Leslie Lee, your co-host from Struggle Session, on this podcast as well.
	It's a wonderful show about pop culture media from a left perspective.
	Lots of hot takes on that show.
	Lots of piping hot takes.
	We get in a lot of trouble.
	People get mad at us all the time.
	We're in big trouble all the time on that show.
	So I forgot to ask, so one of the reasons we had you on this episode was because, you know, this comedy special was aiming to take SNL to task, to take SNL down a notch.
	I believe you are one of the experts, possibly the only expert, in the field of taking SNL down a notch.
	More specifically, Michael Che, one of the head writers for SNL, who you and Leslie Lee were able to get to deactivate from Twitter.
	You know he only came on Twitter in the first place to like clown on me and get mad at me and like the people that follow me on Twitter or something so you know I didn't get you know it's it's a I not only got him to deactivate I guess but also for him to join in the first place was just like Because he's mad at me, I guess.
	Me and Michael are not mad at each other anymore and I have to hand it to Michael J for like, you know, giving a bunch of his money to the people, you know, he paid a bunch of people's rent in New York during COVID or whatever, which is good.
	I still think this SNL show sucks and I think he's a fucking weirdo who's really weird about me and whatever.
	I don't give a shit.
	I thought it was weird that he paid Dan Crenshaw's rent.
	If it got to you that much that I said SNL wasn't good, then maybe you think it's not good.
	Yeah.
	And you know, I don't know, I'm trying to make it... I don't fucking know.
	Same with everybody, like Chrissy Teigen these days.
	Everyone cheats, everyone's... I'm like, you know, do you have to have it all?
	Like, do you have to not only get to make the money, be on the TV show, but you have to also have everybody think you're, like, cool and good too?
	You know what I mean?
	Yeah, yeah.
	Like, I don't think you can get all of it.
	I think it's okay, like, it's okay to sell out in the sense that, you know, you also have to be okay with people saying, you sold out, this shit sucks.
	You know what I mean?
	Like, you made the choice.
	Now, like, like, live with that choice.
	If meritocracy were real in this country, uh, anybody who theoretically had amassed that much money would also have, like, incredibly thick skin from actually Working, and actually trying, and failing, and going against odds or whatever.
	It's never been more clear that these people just had everything fucking handed to them on a silver platter, that they can't take a little slice of criticism.
	They hate hearing that so much, because this time last year, Chrissy Teigen was being harassed by right-wingers all day, being told that her and John Legend are legit pedophile ringleaders.
	Right, which I guess people are getting into that again this time.
	And they like, they like, she stayed on the internet, but this time somebody answered a question in an article saying like, yeah, Chrissy Teigen kind of had a lot coming to her real fast.
	I don't really want that.
	And she was like, this sucks.
	Like you're making fun of me.
	And now she's like, I have to be private.
	And it's just so, it's because someone says something real, you know?
	I don't even know about the whole conflict, I don't really care about it, but I do think that, like, millionaires, like, very rich people flipping out at the idea of them being, like, anything less than, like, perfect paragons of humanity.
	I'm like, I'm like, just fucking take the money, you know what I mean?
	It's like, like, you did the Target deal, like, you know, you're gonna make a lot of money from that Target deal, like, that's what you did it for, like, you got the money, like, you also have to have nobody ever talk shit ever.
	You know what I mean?
	Like, that's not fair!
	That's not fair!
	You can't sell your soul and then whine about not having a soul.
	Just, like, buy your soul back by donating 12 million dollars or something.
	Right, it's like somebody... Do you really care that much?
	Yeah, no, like, because that's how I feel about it.
	So, I was like, you know, I made a lot of money when I was at the Kimmel Show, and I kind of, like, was, like, I sold out in a way.
	I was like, I'm, like, doing comedy I don't really like, and I'm making a lot of money or whatever, and I thought it sucked, and so I, like, quit pretty much.
	You know what I mean?
	It's like, you can, like, stop if you don't like it.
	Like, if you're making a lot of money and you don't feel good about it or whatever, like, you know, examine that.
	It's not necessarily, like, you can, like, there are other options for what a life is, you know?
	That's such a great example because, like, The Jimmy Kimmel Show was, I don't know much about your experience, but it ended to the point where Black Thought, who was one of the most radical MCs ever, ended up working on Hamilton.
	So yeah, good move.
	Good job there.
	But, yeah, so I think, you know, what I wanted to get at, though, is I think that, you know, compared to, like, your relationship with SNL and an SNL head writer, I think that this show, Deplorables Saturday Night, has failed in their mission because I think instead of, like, you know, taking SNL down a peg or making them look bad, they just made SNL look better.
	They made SNL look better by contrast.
	Yeah, I agree.
	I'm not an SNL fan, but I'm less of a fan of Deplorable Saturday Night.
	I would rather watch at-home Zoom SNL, which is just terrible, than watch Deplorable Saturday Night.
	SNL is going to try to parody this, and it's going to be even less funny, somehow.
	So I think that's a great note for this episode to go out on.
	Yeah, once again, thanks to Jack for doing the show.
