Unlocking this episode because it's got some important stuff and it's also funny. - This week Alex gives dispatches from the CHAZ (now CHOP), addresses some viral rumors, and we go over some incredible right wing responses to the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone - Also, "Cops" and "Live PD" get canceled (postponed?) in the wake of the George Floyd protests. After reading these comments, it becomes clear why that's such a good idea. - Music: Mclusky - The World Loves Us And Is Our Bitch
The liberals are destroying California, and conservative humor gone awry... Conservative humor gone awry is going to fascistphonia today, so stay tuned.
We're going to take a few pictures of the desert and how their policies are actually messing it up.
It's not beautiful when you go across that border.
Stay tuned guys, we'll show you exactly what it looks like when the storm gets us.
All their environment, all the time.
Stay tuned.
Alright, I'm Alexander Edward.
And I'm Tony Boswell.
And we're Minion Death Cult.
The world is ending.
The Chaz is responsible.
We're documenting it.
What's up everybody?
It's your Patreon episode for the week.
Thank you so much for supporting the show.
Thanks for tuning in.
I just want to, like, maybe have a brief moment of silence where the listener can applaud us for getting them an episode on a weekday?
A bonus episode on a weekday?
I think that's...
Pretty responsible of us.
I'll be honest, I had a very bad day.
I had a pretty shitty day, but we did commit to recording tonight.
We did.
Because Tony's got an action that he's doing tomorrow that's going to be probably pretty big.
I think so.
If we didn't record tonight, we might have to record this episode over Tony's one phone call tomorrow or something.
Yeah, it would be a really fast episode, but it'd be a banger.
It would be a good one, I think.
Yeah, we're recording this at 9.50 on Thursday night.
Yeah, like I said, I had a, you know, a fairly shitty day.
I worked much longer than I thought I would, but more, I don't know, maybe more direct to the point, I got a lot of, like, wishes of my death on Twitter today.
A lot of people wishing for me to be shot, or like, striked with a drone, struck with a drone.
You know?
A lot of people wanted you to come to them to get shot.
Like they wanted you to make the trip.
And that's not fair.
That's not right.
That's not fair to me.
That's the problem with capitalism.
So obviously that stuff's pretty funny, you know, but it but you can't help but like cast a Paul, you know on your day and plus like what we're talking about tonight Another reason we wanted to record tonight is because what we're gonna be opening the show with is something that might not exist tomorrow Who knows?
True.
Who knows?
But yeah, just like I don't know to illustrate like The sort of like threatening tweets I was subjected to.
The threatening mentions I was subjected to today.
I'm going to go ahead and read one.
And I'm going to read it in I think the way that it was intended.
I'm going to read it in like the way that I think it was written because I think it's more effective at conveying this hostile message to me.
You know, Alex, I'm going to say I don't think you have to qualify that because I think that I'm gonna go ahead and say it for you.
I think that your voice is like the authority of translating these people.
And I think that your voice is the voice of the people.
And yet they attack me.
And yet they call me an enemy.
Despite the work I do on their behalf.
But you do it with a complete on-bias, and that's why they hate you, because you do it justly.
Okay, so I'm going to try to do this tweet justice.
Everything is on, number two on Twitter says, oh when the Marines dot dot dot dot dot dot Go marching in.
Dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot.
Oh, when the Marines, too, marching in.
Dot, dot, dot, dot, dot.
Don't want to be.
Dot, dot, dot, dot, dot.
With Antifa.
Dot, dot, dot, dot.
Oh, when the Marines go marching in.
Dot, dot, dot, dot.
And then, uh, to add insult to injury, they've included a gif of... I don't know, like the precursor to, like, the, uh, the Wojak meme?
The guy who's like, like, the Trollolololo kind of face looking guy?
You know?
Uh, kind of like screeching LOLOLOLOL in repeating capital impact font.
Um...
I don't know the name of this guy.
This guy's got a name but I was like an adult when this was popular so I didn't really follow like what the names of the memes were.
Yeah, I missed it.
But yeah, horrifying stuff.
So we're pressing on with this episode despite the adversity experienced by me personally today.
So yeah, we're talking about the Chaz tonight.
That's how we're starting this episode.
We're talking about the Capitol Hill Autonomous zone.
We're talking about the zone, the auto zone.
We are going to get into the auto zone tonight.
And I just wanted to start off, there's a lot of rumors flying around, of course, about the Chazz up here in Capitol Hill.
I live in Seattle, in case you're unaware.
I live three blocks away from the Chazz.
So I think I am in a good spot to clear up some misconceptions about the Chazz, you know.
And Tony, I know you're not as privileged as I am in perhaps more ways than one.
So feel free to ask any questions you might have about the CHAZ and I'll try to answer them to the best of my ability.
Alright.
With the caveat that I am not part of any of the organizations who are currently organizing the autonomous zone.
Okay.
Alright.
So first of all I want to say white people are allowed within the autonomous zone.
We are, however, required to enter on our bellies.
That is part of it.
Every day they sprinkle different shards at the entrances that we have to scrape our bellies across.
Like some days it's like broken Elvis records.
Other days, it's like glass jars of mayonnaise that they've shattered.
I don't know how they got the glass jar of mayonnaise, but... It's specifically mayonnaise, right?
You can still see, like, the oily film.
Oh, that's important.
It's mayonnaise, because I have to, like, I have to, like, refrain from, like, licking the shards as I'm crawling.
I know, I know what it is.
Black people are given the automatic title of warlord.
They are.
It's just like every racist movie you've ever seen.
Coincidentally.
Coincidentally, it's just like every racist thought you've had in your head.
So that's part of it.
I believe it because every picture on Instagram I've seen from white people I've only seen pictures of the entrance, of the signs that say people are welcome, and then also inside.
But I've never seen them enter, and I believe that's because you can't really take a good picture from your belly while crawling over glass.
So I'm going to go ahead and believe that.
The Islamic call to prayer in the autonomous zone is played at 1pm instead of 6am.
Because we need our beauty sleep.
You know, nobody's waking up before noon there.
Lastly, okay, there's a rumor going around that the Chaz has run out of food.
Okay, this is nonsense.
Our comrades in Sparta, Illinois killed more than enough white livestock to keep us fed for weeks.
They have transported the livestock over state lines because we don't even care about that shit.
You guys are getting stocked up.
That's good.
That's great.
I like to hear it.
You've seen those trains that just say Antifa on the side of the cars?
That's how they're coming in.
Yeah, I can hear them.
I can see them.
I hear them from my window.
They have a completely different sound.
It sounds like softer.
- After.
- Yeah, it's not. - Okay, so in all seriousness, there's a lot of weird stuff that people are saying about the Chaz.
I'm going to give my actual honest, unvarnished, possibly cringeworthy impressions of the Chaz, and the first one being that that's a bad name.
It sucks for a name.
I think Free Seattle or Free Capitol Hill is probably better.
Chaz just reminds me of I think Chucky's dad's name was Chaz on Rugrats and I didn't like that name growing up and I don't like it now.
Chaz is only like um a white guy with a sweater over his shoulders or like a black guy who the joke is that he's basically a white guy with a sweater over his shoulders.
Yeah so Seattle I guess right?
Yeah exactly exactly.
Yeah it's funny too when people said the name someone was like oh yeah um Have you heard about the CHAZ, and then they said Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone?
And my first reaction, even though that was the first time I heard it, my first reaction was like, yeah, I know what it means.
I just did that naturally, you know?
I was like, oh yeah, I'm gonna figure, I'm gonna use context clues to figure out what it means.
Like, you cringing at hearing the word CHAZ added a fold to your brain that allowed you to determine what CHAZ stood for.
Yeah.
Like your brain shivered a little bit.
Folded around that knowledge.
Yeah, somebody in the Facebook group asked me, like after I'd already been to the quote Chaz, they asked me, what's it like in the Chaz?
And I just didn't respond because I didn't know what the fuck they were talking about.
And then like two hours later, I saw the comment again and I was like, Okay, I know Autonomous Zone.
A-Z-C-H is Capitol Hill.
Alright, I got it.
That sucks.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's bad.
I shouldn't have used the Chaz on Twitter because I think that's how people were finding me to tell me that they hoped I got shot by cops.
In my mind though, I see you being welcomed at a gate with people like, welcome to the Chaz!
And then you, you know.
Okay, so.
They're wearing top hats.
So, so, seriously though, okay, so my, it's like, I haven't been as online lately.
I've been working a lot and doing stuff for the show, but it's like recently come to my attention that, you know, people on the left think that the autonomous zone is cringe or whatever or like eh.
A joke on anarchy or something.
You know, I don't know about Tony, I'm gonna speak for myself here.
I'm a pretty non-sectarian leftist.
I probably lean more towards communist, but I also like, I don't know, I just think that a planned economy is good, but also democratic, fully democratic control of everything is also cool.
This doesn't seem like, uh, a cringe thing to me.
This autonomous zone does not seem like, uh, a, a, like, anarch, quote, anarchic, anarchities playing around or whatever.
This is like protesters who, who fought cops for, you know, a month.
Fought cops for weeks and kicked them out of their own precinct.
Mm-hmm.
These are like normal people, young people, people of all stripes and denominations who like battled In almost essentially a war zone.
Like battle against cops who are using, you know, weapons that are banned from war.
Chemical weapons that you're not supposed to be even using in a war.
Um, and my first impression is that, uh, the Chaz is good because there isn't gas flooding the neighborhoods of Capitol Hill every single night.
I don't know if you've, if you've seen photos of Capitol Hill from like last week.
Yeah.
Aerial photos of Capitol Hill will show visible gas across like five, six blocks?
Absolutely, yeah.
Just intersections blacked out.
It was a genuine health hazard for people living in that area who had to put plastic on their windows because the gas was getting into their apartments.
People who, you know, people who are still working, people who are out of work, we're getting basically gassed by the cops just for living next to them.
Okay?
That's cool.
I'm glad that the cops are not there anymore.
I think that's good.
Second of all, when the cops finally left the precinct, what I'm hearing is that they basically left the doors open on the precinct.
I don't know how accurate that is, but I think it's irrelevant whether or not they left the doors open.
What I think is relevant is that once they left the precinct, that place was ripe for a firebombing.
That place was ripe for arson.
And like I just said, it is attached to apartments.
It is attached to buildings where people live.
It's on the corner of an intersection flanked by apartment buildings.
Okay, you can see footage of the gassings from, like, shot from above where people are living next to the precinct, okay?
So if somebody decided either, you know, a misguided anarchist or a misguided revolutionary or just, you know, a cop or a fed or a spook or something decided to torch the Seattle PD, a thousand people's lives would be in jeopardy.
Yep.
So, from my understanding, the impetus for occupying this area once the police left was to prevent that from happening.
That is why they've set up watches, that is why they've set up shifts, that's why they've been basically, like, Organizing in that area to make sure that, you know, nobody gets any bright ideas with the building or whatever.
I don't know.
I have visited the Chaz several times.
I've gone early in the morning.
I've gone on the weekend.
And it is always very peaceful.
It is always young people.
Organizing, talking, or it's like empty except for the people who are watching it.
Except for the people who are manning the co-ops, manning the medical tents, and just keeping an eye out for folks.
This rumor that This rumor that they ran out of food because homeless people stole it all is an absolute fabrication.
So wild.
Like you're probably, even like right-wing people are aware that that's a photoshopped tweet now at this point.
I went there in my UPS uniform before work at like 7 a.m.
just to check it out.
I was gonna go grocery shopping afterward.
And the co-op was offering me food to take with me to work.
They're not running out of food at all.
They wouldn't even take donations.
I said, where can I give you guys money?
And they said, oh, they kind of did like the hippie thing.
They were like, man, if, if like you give us money, like, then what are we, we're not helping anybody.
I was like, all right.
Cool.
Okay.
Wow.
You can really, you guys must have a lot of shit.
I heard from a friend who's a total dislike.
I don't know.
I don't want to project too much on them, but they're pretty normal.
Pretty normie.
Loser!
I don't know.
They might be deep in theory and we just haven't talked about it.
They sent a picture, and I was like, that's so fucking cool, that's incredible.
And they said, yeah, it's wild, the police are gone, and it's just people now, and it's also peaceful.
Yeah, that's why it's peaceful.
And that was the whole review, and I'm like, that fucking rules.
That's really cool.
It's good that people get it.
Yeah, I'm part of Capitol Hill Facebook groups, and people are extremely grateful that there aren't cops there anymore.
Yep.
Yep.
Yeah, so like I said, it's just, it's, it's a place of, it's not a commune.
I think people have in their minds, the meme is that it's like an anarchist society that's being set up there.
That's, to my knowledge, not, is not, that's not what's happening.
Yeah.
It is a, uh, it is a, like, a space.
It is a public space that is being, um, That is being occupied to a certain extent, so that nobody causes any harm to people, essentially.
But other than that, it's a space where they're holding town halls, they're holding block parties right now, as a matter of fact, which I am gonna fucking get to if we can finish recording this episode without Tony saying any anti-white racism that I have to cut out later.
If we can do that, I want to get in that zone, if you ask me.
It sounds like it kind of has a plur vibe.
Yeah, it's the plur with the extra R, which is respect and responsibility.
It's got the respect and responsibility.
It's plur.
So, I don't know.
I think it's a cool thing.
I don't know how long it's going to last.
I don't have any...
I don't have any misconceptions about it being an anarchist society or anything like that.
I do have an optimistic view that it is a space where people can come together and, you know, sort of, I don't know, direct the community, direct their own community.
You know, and actually exert pressure on the city, exert pressure on the state to do things like defund the police.
So I am all for it.
It'd be great to see them in a position of power where they can, like, make demands before they hand the precinct back over, you know?
Yeah.
Like, that would be amazing.
Okay, I just want to get into like some responses to me on Twitter that were pretty funny.
Phyllis Westbury said to me directly, if these Chaz Seattle terrorists get one red cent of stimulus money or federal aid, I will be protesting in the streets.
Which I... When I read this, I got like a little bit excited because I'm like, oh shit, we're getting another stimulus check?
I'll take it.
But then I realized that that's not gonna happen either.
No, and it's, I mean, it's a good thing, I guess, for us because otherwise Phyllis would, uh, she'd be causing some mayhem.
Yeah.
No, you're not, Phyllis.
Like, you're not going to leave your house for anything except to, like, yell at the person doing your nails.
You're not, like, I wish you would.
I wish a Phyllis would, to be honest.
I would love to see Phyllis screaming in the streets about Antifa getting stimulus money.
She goes on further.
This is the better one.
Phyllis's avatar on Twitter is pure white.
You can barely make out her facial features.
I can hear her voice though.
I can hear her voice.
Oh, she says, since they want socialist government, she's like, who's she talking to?
Like what audience?
She's, she's responding to me, but she thinks she's like tweeting at a wider audience.
You know, she says since they want socialist government and independence from us, I say no stimulus checks next month and no federal aid whatsoever.
They need to find out exactly what socialism is.
So socialism is when the government doesn't do anything for you.
Socialism is when you have no control over the government or over the economy or anything.
We need to learn what socialism is.
Stimulus checks will be withheld.
Part of me respects Phyllis because Phyllis is such a hater.
She's such a supreme hater that she's telling every black person, like, listen, y'all being executed is not enough reason for me to go out on the streets.
But if someone else is getting money, if someone else is getting money, I'm fucking stomping some asphalt.
Yeah.
What a hater.
And I consider myself an ally for taking this wrath of Phyllis, distracting her from you guys.
Yeah, thank you.
It's no problem.
It's no problem whatsoever.
This is like, what was I going to say here?
There was a greater narrative to this episode that ties in with this comment, and I'm just stalling for time here.
I don't remember, but I'll come back to it.
I'll attach it back to this tweet when I get to the other things that remind me of it.
Maria says in a Facebook group, I just joined, and I'm so glad I did.
Say her whole name.
Her whole name is interesting.
That's a World of Warcraft name.
I think it's just like half... I think it's like a Mexican who remarried.
A name, but... That creates a World of Warcraft name.
That's what those are.
It's like a generator.
Uh, it's Maria Luna Orth.
I don't know what Orth is.
Orth sounds like Germanic or like Eastern European or something.
That like translates to like, to like Moon Warrior.
Uh, Maria Luna Orth into the Reopen Washington State Facebook group.
Says, uh, so she shared, um, some Andy Ngo tweets that are amazing.
Some Andy Ngo tweets about the Chazz, uh, that are amazing.
But I'm gonna read her caption, because it's better than Andy Ngo.
Anything Andy Ngo could ever write, whatsoever.
Yeah, this is incredible.
Just keep in mind that she's talking about Andy Ngo's, like, sensationalizing of the Chazz.
That's what she's talking about.
Maria says, YES, FUCK!
With like the emoji that has the curse word mouth bar thing.
Yeah, it's being censored though.
It's like a censored bar.
Which kind of defeats the purpose.
Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkin is allowing a dangerous situation to fester.
Hashtag Antifa militants have taken over and created an quote autonomous zone in the city their own rules.
Police precinct abandoned in Capitol Hill.
Parentheses.
Just made your real estate property devalued in a blunk of an eye.
In parentheses.
Hashtag Antifa set up barricades to create a border.
Parentheses.
So borders are okay in Seattle but not Mexico?
That's right, borders are not okay in Mexico.
No.
We denounce every border inside Mexico.
Antifa is invading our city and they have guns!
Yeah, it's a fucking open carry state, Maria.
This sounds like a stream of consciousness paragraph.
There are no complete sentences.
It's just like word association.
It's great.
I love it.
I love this writing style.
While Inslee is telling all Washington residents to wait for permits until the government will open... Line break.
Calling for volunteers to provide armed guard.
That's like a reference to what Antifa was doing.
It's not something that she would normally, you know, want.
Yeah.
Line break.
I am so mad right now!
I can't breath!
How about just not reading the room.
Just not at all reading the room.
Just saying that you're so mad you can't breathe.
Or you're probably absolutely reading the room and you're just a fucking asshole.
Yeah, I did not even make that connection.
Yeah.
Did not make that connection.
Yeah, the Seattle PD is going to, like, protest Maria's statement with shirts that say, I can breathe.
Yeah.
And then the back says, this is directed towards Maria Luna-Orth, who says that... I can breathe because I'm not mad like Maria.
Yeah, I'm not upset like Maria.
We the people needs our president to intervene.
We don't trust our local and state government in Washington State.
Okay, I remember the overarching thread I wanted to get to.
Okay, so I am amazed, I am constantly amazed at the progress the right wing has made just in my lifetime.
Okay, the like, their, what do you call it?
Their story, their narrative, their narrative arc.
Exactly.
So Phyllis said we need to withhold stimulus checks from like the left or the Antifa or whatever to like teach them about the ills of socialism, about the ills of not getting stimulus checks, right?
And I'm just remembering a time When the idea of the government, like, handing money to its citizens was called social... That's not socialism.
Don't get me wrong, that's not socialism, but it's closer to socialism than, like, conservatism, than tax breaks for small businesses or whatever.
Yeah, like, the word socialism was often found in the same paragraph as, like, welfare queen.
Totally.
Exactly.
Yeah.
Exactly.
Okay, so, and I do realize, before anybody tries to, you know, well actually me on the internet or whatever, that George Bush did give out, like, stimulus checks.
$300 stimulus checks or whatever.
But, this comment also reminds me, Maria Luna, this is like, Obviously a very common trope.
We're talking about left protesters kicking cops out of our city and occupying a space in the city where cops aren't allowed, basically.
Okay, and of course part of this segment is going to be the right wing calling for federal Intervention into a state.
Wild.
Federal intervention Deploying the military on to you know national soil or whatever and she does it right here I'm calling we needs our president to intervene We don't trust our local and state government in Washington State and this obviously isn't like
A revelation like I'm not trying to you know own them with hypocrisy or whatever but it's just instead of like calling hypocrisy on this or whatever it's just very clearly been like fascism the whole time.
The whole time?
When it was pretending to be conservativism or when it was pretending to be small government or whatever it was just fascism.
Well, it also, like, exposes this blatant racism, because, like, had this been, instead of Capitol Hill, and, like, protecting people from the police, had it been, like, a ranch?
And you're, like, white people with, like, guns?
Had it been an actual federal building that people were occupying?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Then people would cheer for you.
And it's like, you can't get me on this hypocrisy argument either.
Because you can't, like, you can't say, well you were against, you know, Bundy Ranch people occupying the Federal Wildlife Reserve, or whatever they were fucking in, because it's like, I don't give a shit about billionaires trying to not pay their taxes or not pay their fees, you know, millionaires, I guess, not pay their land grazing fees.
Like, sorry, I don't give a fuck about that.
That's not, that's not like worth protesting over.
That's not worth demonstrating over.
Sorry, I don't care.
I don't give a shit.
Yeah, yeah.
Now, maybe if they were like, Uh, this is public land and like everybody can use it or whatever.
That would be maybe a slightly different story.
I still wouldn't buy it because they're fucking millionaires and they would have the means to cultivate that public land over other people or whatever.
No millionaire has the interests of other people in the forefront.
They don't exist.
So these Andy Ngo tweets are amazing.
Andy Ngo says Seattle, and so if you're not familiar, you're probably familiar with Andy Ngo.
Andy Ngo is like a reporter who only reports on the left wing, only doxes the left, excuse me, the left wing.
He organizes with right wing, far right groups, you know, like the Proud Boys, like, and Tom Woffin, like, he exists as like a press agent for these people.
He's also famous for his YouTube videos of his milkshake mukbangs that he does.
He's famous for getting brain damage from a milkshake.
You're totally right.
I buried the lead there.
That's why Andy's a better reporter than I am, because he would never bury the lead like that.
He's famous for getting brain damage from a milkshake.
He's famous for, like, not being able to hold a salad bowl because he got a milkshake poured on him or whatever.
And I saw a really good meme.
I normally don't like to read good memes on this show, but I just kind of want to give credit to whoever made this meme and it's the buff
It's it's you know two opposing figures and it on the left side it's uh the buff doggo and it says uh leftist journalist got shot in the eye by a rubber bullet about to go into surgery no big deal and then on the right it's like a little doggo sitting down all weird cross-legged and it says fascist journalist i got hit in the head by a milkshake it gave me brain damage Yep, yep.
And that's like something that has actually happened over the course of these George Floyd protests is leftist photographers, leftist journalists, leftist protesters have literally lost their eyes.
Have lost eyes from this shit.
And their tweets are like literally that.
Got hit in the eye with this shit.
Going into surgery, probably going to lose the eye.
Yeah.
Yeah, and they're out there.
They're like, you know, they're out there.
They're gonna continue to be journalists probably.
There was some tweet about how they're gonna meet up and hang out.
Fuck yeah.
Well, all the people I guess within a certain region who lost an eye, they're gonna hang out.
I can't imagine that.
I can't fucking imagine like...
No.
Losing your eye from covering... I mean, it's... I don't say I can't imagine that because it doesn't sound plausible.
It sounds very plausible, obviously.
Obviously.
But I can't imagine that being my personal reality.
No.
No, not at all.
Having lost your eye because you were photographing a protest.
You know?
Having a war crime happen to you in, like, your... in... like, in your backyard.
And, like, that's what's... that's what's so wild.
You know, we kind of got pushed into these libs.
It's like, yo, these are war crimes.
Like, you don't shoot the media.
You don't shoot on people retreating.
You don't shoot rubber bullets directly at faces.
Yeah, directly at faces.
Like, all the actual war crimes happening to us on our own soil.
It's like being a wartime journalist except all the injuries are coming from one side of the war.
Yes.
And we all know which side that is, and it is on domestic turf.
I don't know if there's going to be any recourse for these folks.
I don't know if there's going to be... Are they going to be able to sue the city?
Who knows who fired that rubber bullet?
They all blacked out their badges.
But we should legit have a tribunal.
That should all be happening.
I mean, in like a just world, a tribunal would be the most, uh, I don't know, generous result.
Yeah, exactly.
A trial would be the mo- yeah, anyway.
So, Annie No tweeted, Seattle Mayor Jenny is allowing a dangerous situation to fester.
Hashtag Antifa militants have taken over and created a quote autonomous zone with their own rules.
Police precinct abandoned.
Antifa set up barricades to create a border.
Calling for volunteers to provide armed guard.
So the reason for the barricade, by the way, The reason the barricades have been set up is so they don't get hit with cars.
They don't get hit with maniacs trying to ram people like somebody did two days ago.
I don't know if people have forgotten or I don't know if people are aware of what happened, but that dude drove down the block that my practice space is on, drove down the block at like 40 miles an hour, a block that was like haphazardly blocked off like there were trash cans in the intersection and this dude just went around him going 30 to 40 miles an hour
luckily most everybody got out of his way people tried to stop him and when he finally came to a stop uh a a fucking hero reached in the door and grabbed the grabbed the wheel of the car and and hit this dude in the face basically he's like like to get this guy incapacitated to where he couldn't run into a mass of people that was like 10 feet away from him
Somebody else threw a barricade in front of the guy's car.
That guy who was inside the car shot this protester point-blank and luckily he only shot him in the shoulder.
Yeah.
Dude fell back.
A medic fell on the guy.
Do you know this guy's name?
I don't I don't know if I even want to like look up his name because I think he could become a target.
Yeah but I mean but he's we we you should all have seen him he's the god he's like he's the illest right he's the illest he's fucking amazing he's amazing yeah there's his attitude fucking ruled there's the video he's like I was trying to help people I was trying to protect those people yeah A medic falls on top of him once he falls on the ground.
Dude gets out of the car and you can see the gun in his hand has an extended clip in it with another clip taped to it.
So this guy was like coming to kill people.
He was coming to kill people and then he disperses into the crowd and he goes straight for the cops who, when the cops were at their precinct, when the cops were protecting their precinct, he runs right to them and says, uh, I just shot somebody, et cetera.
And they're like, Oh, cool.
Come over here.
You're obviously on this side.
Yeah, well what's wild is like the reason why I forgot about that is because that is just in the middle of these other videos of other vehicles plowing through crowds, but those vehicles are cop vehicles.
Yep.
And that's what's so wild about this moment.
That's why that's not the biggest story.
It's because cops are doing it every fucking day.
Well, it's also not the biggest story because leftist protesters took over four or five blocks of a city for their own.
That man was taken care of, by the way.
That man who was shot.
That thing that happened that everyone's like, we need the cops for this.
That man was shot.
And you know what?
He was taken care of and the cops were not involved.
That's what I wanted to say too.
So I went to the AutoZone.
Was it last night?
I don't know.
I begin like four hours of sleep a night, so these days are kind of blending together.
I went to the AutoZone either last night or the night before after work.
I got out of work early enough to go over there and check it out.
And from there we marched and I talked to one of the medics because I recognized him from the video that we're talking about of dude getting like helped away from the scene after getting shot in the shoulder.
There's a white guy who's under one of his arms with a beard.
Uh, I saw that medic there, and I was like, hey, you're the guy who held that dude, right?
And he was like, yeah.
And he was wearing a bulletproof vest.
He showed me.
He was like, yeah, I laid on that guy.
Because fuck that.
So that guy, also a fuckin' hero.
Yes.
Also a hero.
Hero saving heroes.
Like, just people, no fuckin' badges.
Yeah.
I'm like, getting a little misty-eyed over here.
Yeah, it's incredible.
Yeah.
Andy Ngo goes on to tweet, "The Seattle East Precinct has been entirely boarded up.
Traffic in and out of the zone is controlled by the anarchists and communists.
Militants are calling this their commune.
Police are ordered away." Now I'm getting misty-eyed.
And again, I just want to say I like wandered into the zone at like 6:30, 7:00 a.m., and like had friendly chats with everybody in my fucking UPS uniform.
Like it's so silly.
It's so silly for them to be talking about this area.
Like on one hand, it shows an amazing amount of fortitude and resilience and like militancy to a certain extent that people in Capitol Hill were able to get.
The police to vacate their own fucking precinct.
But that is like a result mostly of perseverance.
It's not like we outgunned the cops.
No.
We wore them down.
We wore them down.
We like made it a bad...
Idea for cops to continue doing cop shit, basically, is what happened.
Okay, and I just love police are ordered away.
This guy responded, this is an amazing tweet, election year drama queen whose avatar is like, who's that guy?
Oh, it's a fucking, it's Rahm Emanuel, dude.
I thought it was a random white guy.
It's Rahm Emanuel in a pussy hat.
But it's like a comical oversized pussy hat.
It's so good.
Election Your Drama Queen, who's at, is at NPC20203.
So you know they're really good at satire.
They're really good at comedy.
They're deep, they're deep in it.
They're affiliated with the fucking literal dumbest meme in existence in the last like 10 years.
Yeah.
ElectionYearDramaQueen tweets, I wonder how many parenthesis Antifa sympathetic in parenthesis moles infiltrated police departments in the past couple years.
How sick would that be if that was real?
Like, I don't even know, I mean, like, are they gonna, are they gonna take care of the cops?
Like, I don't, like, I feel like we would have been hearing about other stuff if there were Antifa moles in the cops.
Oh, we for sure would have, yeah.
Like, his idea of Antifa infiltrating the police is that they're like, oh, how about we don't use live rounds on these protesters?
Like that's his idea of what, that's what he means by saying that Antifa sympathizers have infiltrated the police.
It's like, it's like, uh, it's like the departed except nobody dies.
Basically is what he's saying the worst case scenario is here.
Yeah, like does he think that the only reason cops look bad on TV is because those are Antifa like false flags?
Yeah, exactly.
They're psyops.
Like George Floyd was killed by an undercover Antifa?
Yeah, that's the distraction.
That's the funny thing, too, about people trying to rationalize why their strongman, why their big strong boy Donald Trump hasn't killed all the leftist protesters yet is because these governors and mayors of these left cities, they're allowing these protests to happen
Because they want like federal troops to come into their city and kill protesters so that it creates a PR nightmare for President Trump and President Trump isn't gonna fall for that you know he's too smart to fall and that's the only reason he isn't like actually acting on all these you know insane threats he's been leveling on Twitter or whatever.
It's wild too because one of those great examples of how like The things the right does are the things they're most afraid of and most insulted by.
So the thing is they really are putting actors in to like, you know, hug cops and like, you know, like pray over people and like have these like little movements.
And also people to like burn down, burn down buildings and like, you know, and like plant cop cars.
They're the ones on Reddit.
They're the ones on Reddit who are like, Help I'm in the autonomous zone and black people won't let me eat any food help I'm starving like they're they're the they're the people that are generating these obviously fake reddit posts they get shared widely by right-wing media who aren't even in on the joke like by right-wing dumbasses who don't even understand that oh this is like a tactic they're just like oh gobble gobble gobble tastes great Yep, this is it.
Fuckin' told you.
And the reaction is extremely funny, because yes, these people are like, oh, it's a PSYOP, or oh, it's like these mayors are playing 40 chess by allowing these protests to happen, or by joining the protests despite telling the right wing that they couldn't reopen the economy, or whatever.
And it's like, these Democratic mayors, these Democratic governors, they don't have a choice.
That's the thing is like there's more of us than there are of any of these right-wing protesters Yeah, there are more like this is the perfect example of it.
There are more of us in the streets There are more of us like who care about this shit They couldn't do that with guns.
They couldn't do it with guns.
And so yes, these mayors are hypocritical Yes, these governors are totally hypocritical, but they're not stupid They're not stupid.
They understand which way the wind is blowing.
And that's why they seem hypocritical to you.
But the underlying material reality of it is that we are forcing them to behave this way.
Because we have the numbers.
Because we have the actual power behind us.
Another response to these Annie No tweets, "Shut down all utilities and deliveries into the zone.
There isn't one engineer or farmer among them.
Starve them out." Ugh.
And again, it's just like city blocks.
It's like a block party happening right now.
People are playing music and dancing and shit.
Somebody told me they were like, Trump is going to come in with his guns blazing and you're going to have to grab your Che Guevara bobblehead and run away.
And it's like, I live in an apartment.
I wish they really said that.
I wish they were really that funny.
I like living a home, man.
Yeah.
Like, their idea is that, like, homeless leftist hippie people came to Seattle.
Like, moved to Seattle because they heard that Antifa had taken over, like, apartment complexes or something.
Like, I don't understand what they think this is.
The Chaz is just like the foot layer from Ninja Turtles.
That's the Chaz.
If the Chaz gets a snake run, holy shit, I'm not going to work tomorrow.
If I go over there and there's a snake run in the Chaz, I'm quitting my job.
All the video games are free.
Boxes of cigarettes for everybody.
Another, yeah, okay, this is another common refrain.
Torturing rats.
Did that happen?
Yeah, they tortured Splinter.
Oh!
But in this case, we're like torturing rats, cause like, you know.
Yeah.
Like Tekashi 6ix9ine type motherfuckers.
Torturing them.
How is that guy still alive?
I have no clue.
How's that going?
Akon just did a song with him.
I just came around to Akon last year.
I was respecting him.
I was like, he does a lot of work.
He makes a lot of money off writing country music.
Good for him.
Griffin the white man.
And then he's like, I'm going to go ahead and... I'm going to be the guy that does a song with Tekashi.
That's, that, you know, I'm not like an expert or anything or a connoisseur, but that new song that Tekashi released a couple of months ago is bad.
It's not good.
It's really, like, I, I've never been a fan, but his other songs were, uh, at least, I don't know.
The, the blicky talk went kind of crazy.
Yeah.
Um, but like, you know, yeah, this stuff's bad.
Uh, this is a common response here from Sean.
Sean says, holy hell, they are taking LARPing to a whole new level.
So... Again!
Again!
Every time I see these motherfuckers on the corners protesting us...
Because I live in suburban areas that don't have metropolitan sprawl so we're met with like people from track homes who want to come out and do modern warfare cosplay with their flak jackets and that's it because you can't open carry in California so they just have flak jackets on.
And like, they're the ones LARPing.
They were protecting the In-N-Out, dude.
They were protecting the In-N-Out.
I'm not kidding.
Like, we would never attack an In-N-Out.
I would never attack In-N-Out.
They don't have a vegan option yet.
Like, I'm a heretic.
I'm a California heretic because I say Baker's is better than In-N-Out.
I said that all day long.
I would still not attack an In-N-Out.
That's just madness.
But a double baker was better than a double-double.
I remember that.
Like, In-N-Out, they pay their employees well, they make a good burger, and they also have the decency to keep their Bible verses on the bottom of the cup where I don't have to see it.
Yeah, it's a choice I'm making to see it.
There's no reason to flip your cup over.
LARPing, they fucking beat the cops.
We beat the cops up here.
That just proved that the cops are, like, LARPing, I guess.
How is this, like, we're outie.
Like, live-action role-playing is what?
What is the analog to this?
There is no analog to this.
Like, we did the real thing.
The actual thing.
Which is so sick.
And that's why I have no shame in celebrating this.
It is so sick.
If it never achieves anything greater than what we've already achieved up here, it is amazing.
It is worth applauding.
It is worth celebrating.
JC says, and this is like, this is second to last comment, but this is just like, I don't know, a great encapsulation of how insane these people are and how insane the right-wing media coverage of this is.
JC says, surround the area, then negotiate the release of any hostages they could be holding and surrender.
Again, he's talking about Splinter.
He has Splinter hostage.
I don't remember any quotes when Splinter was being torqued.
Doesn't Splinter, like, try to, like, commune with Shredder?
Or he communes with one of the foot... No, with... Yoshi?
Danny.
Oh, it's Danny.
You know, Danny who's, like, April O'Neil's boss's kid.
And he's like, you're not like them.
He's like, yeah, I listen to rap music.
He's like, you skateboard, but it's not violent.
You have long hair, but also respect the elderly.
I don't know.
I don't remember.
That's a good movie though.
That's a dark movie for a kid's movie.
Yeah, it's great and it looks beautiful still.
It looks really great.
Well, they play with light a lot in that movie.
There's a lot of shadow play in that movie.
All like the farm scenes?
Sorry, go ahead.
Negotiate the release of any hostages they could be holding.
And then Jason Shifflett replies, negotiate with terrorists only at first to get any innocent hostages out but not in good faith.
They should be treated as the terrorists they are.
Yes.
Bring in the drones.
Just like, yeah.
Bring in the drones, bro.
Completely psycho shit.
Like, in their feverish imaginations, there is, you know, Seattle Antifa is holding, I don't know, Capitol Hill small business owners at knife point, demanding to get Boca Burgers stocked in every small burger chain across the nation.
Dude, nobody better do, like, a wedding, because, you know, those are ripe for drones.
Yeah, um, okay, so, I don't know, uh, yeah, end of the segment, uh, Chaz is great.
Do you think if these people knew about, like, the Philly bombing, would they be into it?
Would they have been like, yeah, fuck yeah?
Yeah, I mean, if the Philly bombing had happened nowadays and there was widespread coverage of what actually happened, they would gobble up whatever justification the cops did to explain why they did what they did.
They'd be like, oh, I heard that the servers that have Hillary Clinton's emails were actually in that neighborhood.
Yeah, no.
And the Clintons did the whole thing.
They had a weapon of mass destruction.
Yeah, exactly.
In those neighborhoods.
They had it.
They had those aluminum tubes in that neighborhood.
Oh, well, let me read this last one because it's kind of cute.
Gary L. Kirkendall says, Seal Team Six, dot, dot, dot, dot, please.
Please?
Can we Seal Team Six them?
And I'm sorry, but SEAL Team 6 is not allowed within the auto zone.
Oh, man, and they kind of got to stop at the dock anyways, right?
Can't they, like, not go too far off water?
Isn't that the whole thing about Navy SEALs?
Yeah, they're like Davy Jones from the Pirates of the Caribbean movie.
You have to get a bucket of water and pick them up, carry them.
And that's exactly why you guys took Capitol Hill and not the piers.
Right.
Okay, let's move on.
So, second topic of the night.
You know, they say that life imitates art, but sometimes, at least, I believe it's the other way around.
Because cops and Live PD have been pulled from TV in response to George Floyd protests.
Per Yahoo.com.
Love to see it.
So, uh, this is like, this is the culture responding to us kicking the cops out of Capitol Hill.
They're like, Oh, this is what the people like, huh?
Okay.
We'll kick them off TV.
Bye-bye.
Yeah.
See you later.
Guess what?
And now we're replacing every episode of Cops and Life PD with the L word.
That's the only show we're going to have on TV now.
Well, I don't know if the right wing would be so angry about that.
It would have to be like looking or whatever.
What's the gay one?
What's the gay one?
What's the male show?
Will and Grace.
Yeah.
There's an HBO one that's guys and I think it's called Looking.
I think it's called Dudes.
It's called Dudes Being Guys.
Yeah.
That's what they should replace it with.
It's called Just Bros.
Um yeah so Live PD which like I'm totally unfamiliar with but I've been led to believe is even worse than Cops.
I've had a long standing bone to pick with Cops.
I think it's a bad show.
I think it's been a bad show.
I think it's rotten that our culture has Fixated on this type of media.
I think it's like really fucking shameful that America that I think cops is like probably probably one of the first quote reality shows Absolutely, I think it's like a stain.
It's like a stain on American culture I mean as many stains as we have on American culture as as many crimes as American culture has committed and Cops is one of the bigger ones, in my opinion.
I've always thought it was like the epitome of schadenfreude.
Shameful joy.
Why do you hate poverty porn, Alex?
Why shouldn't I hate poverty porn, I guess, is my question.
Yeah, exactly.
Because that's exactly what it is.
It was an awful show.
Yeah, I mean, I don't think it's going away.
I don't know to what degree they're actually... I think it's like new episodes, they're going on hiatus till they think this is all going to blow over.
I honestly think part of it really is, is that maybe, and I'm being really optimistic here, for sure, maybe they're worried that people are going to watch these shows more critically now.
And be like, oh man, like, even when they're being nice, they're fucking assholes.
Maybe.
I think they've always, like... They didn't have to tackle him that way.
They've always controlled these things.
I don't... Yeah, but I'm saying, like, even the stuff they let out that they think is fine, maybe people might be more critical of it now.
Which is me being, like I said, me being very optimistic, probably being very naive.
Well, I think you're right in the sense people are going to be more critical of it as a, like, as a show in general.
I think that's fair.
People are being more critical of copaganda in general.
So yeah, they're going to be more critical of this.
And I think it's people who probably didn't watch Cops already are just going to be more loud about Cops on the internet or in their homes or whatever.
And maybe they would have persuaded some waffling libs about it or whatever.
Anyway, this is a fucking huge deal.
If you're not aware, if this is your first time listening to the podcast, TV's a big deal on the right wing.
Yeah.
Cops is like a cultural phenomenon.
I don't really have to even justify that statement because this segment will do so on my behalf.
Yep.
David, so these are all just from the Yahoo comments section.
I saw this story and I was like, oh cool.
Yahoo's got some freaks on there.
This is one source for comments.
I don't know.
20 comments deep and that was the end of the segment.
Out of like 250.
Or no, no, no.
More than that.
It was like a thousand something.
But that's like counting replies and everything, which I didn't even look at.
I got like 20 comments deep and I was like, here's the episode.
Here's it completed.
That's so funny.
David says, "Live PD Matters!" Which like, on Yahoo, you know it's thorough.
On Yahoo, you know this is real.
This is not someone doing irony.
This is real.
So it's very authentic.
This is like a joke one of us would haphazardly throw out.
Totally like I don't even know if I if I would like make this connection with live PD matter because like live is like lives black lives Like I don't even know if I would make this connection.
Just I'm not familiar with the property live PD So it's not like embedded in my brain enough to like twist the words or flip them to make a pun or whatever This is like yeah, this is a genuine thing that has 47 likes it was like one of the one of the higher comments Yeah, this is like somebody saying, like, my TV show matters.
Yeah, it matters.
My, my, my TV programming is, is matters, you know?
Like, what's it with this flag, like, this flag, the, the live PD matters flag is like a, uh, thin, static-y line across it.
They're going to bat like we would if they were gonna, like, cancel Sesame Street.
Like, no, this isn't, this is important.
I wouldn't battle for Sesame Street.
I have a six-year-old.
Sesame Street's on fucking HBO now.
Is it really?
Okay.
Yeah.
Yeah, we just watched the stuff on Netflix.
Okay.
They got some bangers.
They got some bangers on YouTube.
They're not gonna cancel it for Netflix.
They got bangers.
But I'm saying like, you know, if that were to like, go away.
But like, this is not important.
Life PD's not important.
You don't need to watch this.
Just watch the news.
Um, yeah, like the Live PD, the PD Lives Matters flag is like, it's like the black and white American flag with a thin stripe in the middle that's just the, uh, the like on-screen TV Guide stripe with the Live PD and like, you know, what channel it's on and what times it's showing.
Yeah, the TV Guide stripe, yeah, for sure.
Richard 3... You hanging on a boom mic?
Richard 3 says, not a surprise.
Reality shows don't fit the left's false narrative.
You know... This is a comment that like almost broke my brain.
Like this is a comment that I had to like roll around in my head all day today.
This comment has 213 upvotes.
213 upvotes.
Oof.
Oof. Jeez.
Reality shows don't fit the left's false narrative.
Cause they're real.
It's right there in the name of the type of show it is.
Like this is like the best they could do with the Jon Stewart quote, reality has a liberal bias or whatever.
Well, reality shows have a conservative reality to them and they're not biased.
It's insane.
And this, again, to tie back to this theme of the trajectory of the right wing that I couldn't have possibly foreseen.
The idea that the right-wing or just like you know weird mad guys in general adopting the format of reality TV as their beacon of truth after like complaining about the Kardashians for a decade or whatever.
Going to bat for Love Island is what they're doing right now.
Going to bat for love is blind.
And just using the word false narrative in your comparison between a reality show and, I don't know, somebody else's ideology.
Like, if you're into these shows, at all you know that part of the producer's job or the editor's job is to literally create a narrative out of what has been shot.
That's not even me being mean to reality.
That's what they are.
That's what you have to do.
You record all day and then you figure out what you want the episode to be about.
We all remember when MTV pushed Sookie to relapse in Hawaii.
We remember that.
We all remember when, uh, when, uh, uh, Shifty Shellshock climbed up on the roof of, of, uh, Celebrity Rehab, the building, and Dr. Drew was like, you know, uh, hey, get down from there.
Or not, you know, whatever.
Shifty.
Shifty.
Shifty, come on down from there.
And Shifty was like, I'm the Black Obama!
I was watching something with Dr. Drew and they were talking about something completely like, oh it was drunk history and Dr. Drew was on there and it was something completely harmless and Dr. Drew was like, oh this is gonna get me cancelled.
And I'm like, do you think that's what's gonna get you cancelled?
Like, what?
It was something not, it was something completely harmless.
And he's like, this is gonna get me cancelled.
I'm like, you're an idiot.
Yeah, I think possibly like exploiting the mental illness or addiction of countless people over the years might be the frontrunner for that.
Yeah, yeah, pretty high on top of the list.
Brittany says, watch a few episodes of Live PD and you will see that most police officers have amazing amounts of patience and restraint.
800 likes.
Watch this reality TV show and you'll see what it's really like.
And then a real native California also says, similarly, Live PD actually shows the good cops performing their duty, protecting and serving the communities.
This has 220 likes.
I think I agree with a real native Californian.
Live PD has been an outlet for positive cop role models.
And how are cops going to learn right from wrong?
How are cops going to have somebody that they can emulate if we remove all the good cops from TV?
True.
Representation is important.
It's almost like when cops see nothing but bad cops on TV, on the news, or on Twitter, that might influence them.
Ya think?
Just a little bit.
Like cops on TV, they're getting all hyped up and they're doing urban style hits on unarmed black men.
And it's like, yeah, that's part of the culture now, unless we allow these good cops to be on TV.
Yeah, that's going to become the new normal.
Buck says why this is okay.
This is a good comment, but I'm gonna have to get in a mindset to read it Respect the craft says Why it is a live and the unedited what better way to show to how the police really are
As a matter of let's expand it all states and make a 24 hour live PD station do all of America can police the police from the comfort of home.
And this has 400 likes.
This is not a terrible idea.
It's not a terrible idea.
Every single body cam should be attached to, like, a live feed.
Uh-huh.
We should be able to watch cops like we watch pandas in the zoo.
And then you have, like, a remote control in the arm of your couch.
It's got, like, two buttons on it.
It's like, if you would like this cop to go to prison, press the green button now.
You're, like, slamming that green button.
It's like, you have pressed red.
No, every time.
I voted for the jail for the cop.
Goddamn broken control.
Get new batteries.
I love this comment so much.
This is like, why don't we film cops all the time, from every angle, and then we can do the activism from the comfort of our own homes while watching TV and continuing to enjoy Live PD.
Um, I mean, this is like perhaps the, the biggest indication of what I was talking about with this episode, just how important this TV show is to these people, how like important television is to these folks.
Um, we need to be like, this is like, this is like a good guy.
This is one of the good ones.
Who's like, no, we just need even more TV.
Yes.
And then we can all watch it even more and we'll all be better for it.
The best part is they're also convinced that Live PD is actually a live stream.
Yeah.
And it's managed to be on the air for how many years?
Right?
Like, as if, as if like, you know, footage of actual things happening doesn't just disappear all the time because there's always a delay on footage.
Especially when it's from a body cam.
Uh, dusting my hands off after watching live PD for three hours straight.
Well, no police brutality on this episode either.
Job well done.
Job well done by all of us here.
Good job.
We did it.
We did it, folks.
Anonymous says, stop the show.
Stop the show.
Okay, these are bad comments.
Uh, this is, we're going to end the show on these bad comments.
Uh, so just keep that in mind.
Um, Stop the show, stop the show.
The 13 slash 90 seemed to be on every episode last couple weeks.
I wonder why.
Now normally I would do a bit where I would ask Tony if he knows what this comment is, but A, I think he already does, and B, it would be like really awkward if I did that.
Yeah, maybe a little bit.
This is somebody who is vaguely familiar with extremely racist, like, social media.
This is somebody who's dumb, let's just say that.
Somebody who's familiar with...
This is the comment equivalent of someone being like, you know 420 is also Hitler's birthday.
That's the level they're at.
No, that's way smarter than this person.
They're referencing a meme and they're just getting it wrong, but they're getting it wrong in an even more racist way.
So the 13 slash 90 thing, it's a reference to the 13 slash 50 meme, which is black people make up 13% of the population, yet they commit 50% of the violent crime, or whatever.
It's like an FBI statistic thing.
It's a very racist meme.
Based on the FBI, FBI statistics, which, you know, we all know are infallible.
Like, even people on the right wing love the FBI so much and put all their faith in them.
Well, they were good at what they did.
I mean, they were really good at keeping track of black people and culture.
That's why they watched Martin Luther King Jr.
so hard, was just to document and take notes.
We all know that there are more cops in black neighborhoods.
We couldn't possibly alter these statistics if they weren't altered by other means anyway.
13 slash 50 is a meme.
This person did 13 slash 90.
This avid Live PD viewer did a 13, thinks that black people commit 90% of crime in this country.
And they really love Live PD for whatever reason.
And oh wait, no, I know the reason.
It's because black people seem to be on every episode of Live PD.
Weird.
Wow, I wonder what could this all mean?
What could this possibly all mean?
I think one takeaway I can have from this is it's good that Live PD is sucking shit right now.
It's good that Live PD bit the dust for however long they are.
Well, I mean, like, you know, growing up in the I.E., you always, do you remember, like, rumors of cops being filmed, like, around the corner?
Like, oh man, cops, the cop show is being filmed in Rialto tonight.
And it's like, I mean, of course, like, they're not, you know.
Yeah.
Of course they are.
Lots of material.
That's fucked.
Yeah.
Happy Jack responds, and I should say that anonymous comment about the 1390 has 267 upvotes.
Everybody's fucking racist in this.
Everybody who's mad about Live PD getting cancelled is fucking racist.
I can say that without qualifier.
And then Happy Jack also says, most of the 13% Take off running and can't understand why they are treated like they are.
If you want to be treated like a man, you gotta act like a man.
If you want to be treated like a man, you gotta get on your knees and suck a cop's dick in the hopes that he doesn't beat you up or kill you.
That's how a man does it.
I'm picturing like an alternate ending to Friday.
Where, uh, what's-his-name tells Ice Cube, he's all, no, you gotta be a man!
Gotta be a man and use these!
And he, like, taps, taps Ice Cube's knees.
Gotta be, you gotta, you gotta be a man and put your hands behind your, behind your head!
He, he spits on, like, a rag and, like, shows him, like, a, like, a spit shine motion.
Gotta, gotta, gotta polish the boots!
I like that, that, that's so fucking lame.
Oh, this comment sucks, and it's so funny.
Oh, act like a man and submit to the authority of basically like an occupying force in your city.
Don't act like a man and take on that occupying force for three weeks straight, eventually forcing them out of your city, of your neighborhoods.
Don't act like a man like that.
That's actually soy boy stuff.
Don't do that, please.
Isn't it crazy that Friday was... Oh, sorry.
Go ahead.
Oh, no, no.
I was just saying exactly what you were saying.
You're fine.
Sorry.
And I find that's what we're all saying is exactly what I'm saying.
For the most part.
Isn't it great how Friday ends, like Ice Cube, who's in the news, he's been pretty active on Twitter.
We don't have time to get into that, but Cube is like, he's gonna kill Debo, right?
He's gonna fucking shoot Debo, and his dad is like, no, you gotta be a man and use these, and he's like, you know.
You gotta use your fists, and then Ice Cube just picks up a brick and throws it at Depot's face.
Yeah.
His dad's like, get up, get up, get up.
I'm talking about... Yeah.
He's like, I guess I could have just said, not guns.
Just not guns.
Don't use a deadly weapon, use a brick.
Gotta be ingenuitive.
You gotta think on your toes.
Isn't his dad's main characteristic like he's always taking a shit?
I haven't seen that movie in like 15 years, but I've seen it so many times and all I can remember about his dad other than like having the actual human moment of like, you know, preventing his son from murdering somebody.
He's just taking a shit with a newspaper though.
Yeah, he takes notable shits in both Friday 1 and 2.
Probably Friday after next too.
Isn't that him in Ladies Man 2 where they're talking about eating all the bar food?
Talking about hog balls.
And then he says, he's all, you just ate some human shit.
He does a lot of shit acting.
Oh man, how terrible is the movie Ladies Man?
I haven't watched it in years.
I'm going to watch it.
Wanna watch it.
They're like, yeah you did it man, you did it.
Just ate some shit.
He's like, what?
You just ate some human shit.
I think it's good.
I think ladies man's good.
I think it might be, yeah.
It's like Austin Powers where it's like, oh, I guess they did talk about consent a lot.
That's cool.
Yeah, I hope there's something about consent in Ladies' Man.
Alright, that's the episode.
And I want to just leave everybody with that.
I hope there's some consent in Ladies' Man.
Thanks so much for listening.
Thanks for supporting the show.
We love everybody.
And anything else to add, Tony?
No, love you all.
Keep this momentum going.
It's really amazing seeing people out there, seeing people that we follow and follow us out there.
And if you can't be out there, do what you can do.
We've got to keep this momentum going.
We've got a lot of fight ahead of us, so let's keep it rolling.
