	I'm warning you guys up top that it might be stacked.
	It's a pretty thick lineup.
	Okay, yeah, now I can't hear you at all, Tony.
	I'm talking.
	Yeah, your volume's like this.
	See how far my fingers are apart?
	Yeah.
	Alright, yeah, so don't say we didn't warn you, listener.
	This episode might be jam-packed full of insanity and also a lot of racism.
	It's a lot of fun stupidity in this episode and then a lot of like not fun racism.
	I don't even know how much we can really go into by virtue of this, you know, us trying to have a good time here.
	So we'll play it by ear.
	But apparently, according to Fox News, I found this out today, Representative Cori Bush, she was scorched For referring to women as, quote, birthing people.
	She's reducing mothers to a function.
	Which, the to a function part was in quotes, but she's reducing mothers was not in quotes.
	So that seems, that's the hard news part of it.
	The hard, the factual part of it was she is reducing mothers, and then the opinion is to a function, apparently.
	Yes.
	Let's, uh, let's, this sounds interesting.
	I, like, this doesn't quite sound like, uh, you know, the democratic socialist, the left-leaning Democrat, uh, that, that we're familiar with in Cori Bush.
	No, definitely narrowing it down to something like that does not sound inclusionary like the Dems try to sound, so that's an interesting choice of words.
	Let's see what's going on here.
	One user, we don't know what kind of user we're talking about here, we're assuming they're not a drug user as they're being quoted prominently by Fox News in the affirmative.
	One user called the term, quote, possibly the most degrading, humiliating, misogynistic phrase to dehumanize women ever invented.
	So, wow.
	That's it.
	The one, there's some pretty bad ones out there.
	I've heard some gnarly ones.
	Okay, so let's name them.
	Let's name them and then put them, see if we can see how they stack up.
	Yeah, that's right.
	On Mother's Day, how about we rank the slurs for women and see if birthing people really is the most humiliating.
	Okay, let me read from this article.
	Democratic Missouri Rep.
	Cori Bush riled up her online critics on Thursday when she referred to women as, quote, birthing people during a congressional hearing.
	Um, so again, you're like, okay, this is interesting.
	This doesn't sound in character.
	Um, I do, however, uh, I believe, uh, that she riled up some online critics because those people love to get riled up as we, as we see on this show.
	Yeah, we see it every day.
	We experience it.
	We live it.
	We breathe it.
	Those online critics, you try to keep them from getting riled up, frankly.
	It's a rowdy bunch.
	It's a rowdy bunch.
	The, quote, squad member was heavily ridiculed after she publicly refrained from using the word women during a Democratic Oversight Committee hearing where she recounted her personal experience with difficult pregnancies to raise awareness of the rising maternal death rate among black expectant mothers.
	Bush shared a video of the hearing to her Twitter page with the caption, quote, Everyday black birthing people and our babies die because our doctors don't believe our pain.
	My children almost became a statistic.
	I almost became a statistic.
	I testified about my experience today in Congress.
	Hear us.
	Believe us.
	Because for so long, nobody has.
	Okay, so let me just read this next sentence and then we'll kind of see, I kind of see what she was getting at here.
	The remarks set off a fierce reaction on social media.
	Critics chastised Bush for reducing women to a quote function with her use of the term.
	Okay, so what this was is this was a hearing on maternal health and the topic of black, you know, pregnancies and black people who give birth.
	Uh, and the experiences they have with, you know, institutional racism, medical racism, that sort of thing.
	Uh, and because, you know, we are trying to be a more inclusive society, uh, because we are trying to maybe de-gender the language we, uh, we use every day, and because, uh, People who identify as men, you know, male, the people of the male gender can still have a uterus and a vagina.
	That's basically what Corey was getting at.
	She was trying to maybe slide that in there.
	What do you call it?
	Like naturally or trying to change the terminology around it.
	Yeah, yeah.
	And that's always kind of a clumsy thing to have to do, you know?
	It can get sticky.
	It's a good thing to do, but of course it's a new terminology or a new way of saying things, and so it's not going to sound the most natural, perhaps.
	Birthing people sounds pretty weird.
	It sounds like... It does sound a bit sterile.
	Yeah, it sounds a bit like a factory, like that's what happens, that's all they do.
	But we are talking, it does sound, but we are talking about a medical procedure.
	Yes.
	And they're not talking about women, they're talking about giving birth.
	Yeah.
	That's what they're talking about.
	They're talking about things that go on around giving birth.
	Not women giving birth.
	Which is separate.
	Right.
	In that way.
	In that sense.
	So I love that they're illustrating it, they're making it seem like They're making it seem like she won't say women.
	She refuses to say women.
	She struck up her vocabulary.
	They are now just birthing people, which that would suck if you just refer to anybody that you saw presenting as a woman as a birthing person.
	That'd be a weird way to go.
	The way they're flipping this and totally ignoring the point is Classic.
	It's just in this, like on the show, I try to catch, you know, I try to say people who have periods.
	I probably, or people who menstruate, I probably wouldn't say menstruation people.
	Menstruators?
	That might not be how I would say it, or like period people.
	Yeah, yeah.
	But I understand what Corey's going for here and it's pretty disingenuous for Fox to pretend like Corey was calling women birthing people because the whole reason she was using birthing people was to talk about men as well.
	To talk about the men who do give birth.
	It's wild because it is... she's going the other way with this.
	Yeah.
	But it's so easy to flip it.
	So you can imagine the sort of reaction that this got.
	Oh yeah.
	Once again, okay, quote, this is S dash dash dash.
	Naughty language, we can't print it.
	This is something that starts with an S, probably sexism.
	Washington Examiner columnist Tim Carney wrote, they're called mothers.
	Calling them, quote, birthing people is reducing them to a function, making them not human.
	That's what's at the heart of this whole gender ideology.
	Reduce us to atomized autonomous individuals without a role or connection.
	Yeah, there's one thing the right wing hates and it's individualism.
	They hate being individualized and atomized and separate from a collective of people.
	Absolutely.
	And also it's that thing where you're What they're saying is totally not necessarily wrong.
	Like, yeah, you should, like we've said over again, over and over again, we should not reduce women to giving birth.
	That's a stupid thing to do.
	That's not how this skit goes down.
	Yeah.
	And that's not what's happening.
	But it's like... No, in fact, it's the opposite of what's happening.
	It's the opposite of what's happening.
	What they are doing is saying that you can only call women, you can only call cis women Birth-giving people because that's how you define a woman is by somebody who gives birth It's it that's so prominent though.
	It's it's something that is so impermeated in our the way we think in our culture Just my real quick aside.
	It's a real fast one But when penny broke her arm penny being your daughter penny being my daughter when she broke her arm she was like in pain and I I told I was talking there when I say hey like listen I Just so you know, this is probably the worst pain you're ever gonna feel.
	Penny's seven years old.
	You breaking a bone is as bad as it gets, you're good.
	Penny's aunt chimes in from the back with, well I mean until you have a baby.
	Until you do that thing that all women do.
	Yeah, seven-year-old female presenting person, like, you're gonna have a baby one day, and that's gonna hurt.
	Mind you, her aunt is 34 and has no kids.
	But this idea of that's what women do and it will happen is so permanent in our culture that this 32 year old woman who has no kids and I don't think plans on having kids is still assigning that as something that is going to happen to the 7 year old.
	I have a viral tweet.
	Do you want to hear it, Tony?
	Yes.
	My daughter's aunt told my daughter that she was going to be in a lot of pain.
	My seven-year-old daughter was going to be in a lot of pain when she gave birth.
	And my seven-year-old daughter turned to her and said, actually, it's fairly dehumanizing to essentialize women to their reproductive purposes.
	And frankly, I'm insulted and ashamed that you would do that.
	Actually she just looked at her and she's like, it hurts so bad!
	I mean, I could see a seven-year-old saying either.
	Yeah, either.
	Yeah, I love that.
	In a moment of crisis where your daughter's probably losing her mind in pain, her aunt is like, oh, no, you're going to experience much worse than this.
	Yeah.
	I did pretty good, but I was just like, not right now.
	What are you talking about?
	What are you doing?
	Can we not do that?
	Yeah.
	Can we not boil this person down to someone who's just gonna give birth one day?
	Chill, let's handle this broken-ass arm.
	Yeah, Daily writer Emily Zanotti called the term, quote, absolutely insulting and, quote, almost unimaginable.
	F off with that nonsense, she wrote.
	Washington Examiner writer Beckett Adams said, quote, referring to black mothers collectively as black birthing people undermines their inherent dignity and humanity, which is the opposite of the Congresswoman's stated goal.
	I love when Fox News just, like, programs a show for us and just includes, like, all the deranged takes you could ever hope for.
	Here we go.
	Nancy Mace said, uh, birthing people, you mean women or moms?
	The left is so woke they're stripping from women the one thing that only we can do.
	Leave it to libs to botch highlighting an important issue people in both parties can agree on by catering to the fringes.
	So Nancy Mace, like, she gets it.
	She actually knows what's going on, and she's mad because we are not essentialite, we are not reducing women, cis women, to birthing machines.
	We're not reducing femininity to a birthing machine.
	She's saying that's what that's what's good about being a woman.
	That's the only thing that like actually identifies me as a woman is the the ability to uh to produce you know this this offspring.
	The thing about this too though is all this verbiage is very important for all the reasons these people have been listing.
	Black people experience Like, medical racism on a regular basis, specifically, specifically, you know, black birthing people.
	This is something that's been documented, like, for, forever, and it's something that's, these words are calculated and are done on purpose, and to accomplish what you're saying that she is not doing.
	It's, it's so funny, this, these people are so, because the whole thing again, no one clicked on, no one read the actual article.
	No one actually listened to the speech, no one read the article, they just read the headline.
	Yeah.
	This of course being happening the day before Mother's Day and the news, the headline here being Cori Bush scorched for referring to women as, quote, birthing people.
	That being the headline coupled with Mother's Day, which is the day that we were recording, obviously led to some just beautiful derangement online.
	Most of the headlines were women are Democrats are refusing to call women women.
	They've canceled the word woman.
	They are only calling them birthing pods now.
	Thanks to the liberals, I'm going to have to call my favorite band Frank Zappa and the Birthing Persons of Invention now.
	Millennials continue to ruin real music for us fans of rock.
	It is that, it is the way they phrase it.
	It's that, you know, publicly refrain from using the word woman.
	Women.
	It's like, that's, that's not what happened.
	Well, it's just, yeah, it's just in the specific context.
	They're literally talking about what didn't happen.
	Yeah.
	Count down the moments until Steven Crowder releases a parody Danzig song called Birthing Person.
	I, I, days.
	I mean, only because, only because he has to, he's actually going to get Danzig to be on it.
	I promise you that will happen.
	Yeah, I hope so.
	We're recording this on May 9th at 5.54pm.
	It's gonna get released tonight at 7.30pm.
	The Babylon Bee tried to do satire on this and it was just like incredible.
	The headline is Liberals Replace Offensive Term, quote, Woman with, quote, Child Factory Who Bleeds.
	That's awesome.
	So it's like...
	God damn, I love it.
	And that's definitely, again, what Cori Bush was trying to do by including trans men in this, in the birthgiving conversation, right?
	Yeah, was narrowing it down.
	The change has, this is from the Babylon Bee article, the change has of course come as welcome news to the people who every day have their eye sockets burned by the term quote women when going to use the bathroom.
	Instead trans people will lead better fuller lives by the constant public reminders of menstruation.
	In D.C., a confusing scene broke out as liberals in Handmaid's Tale outfits gathered to chant, BABY FACTORY!
	BABY FACTORY!
	Wow.
	Reporters initially thought they were protesting abortion restrictions and claiming men only saw them as baby makers.
	Wonder why.
	Wonder why they would think that.
	The liberal females were, in fact, claiming to just be baby makers.
	We don't need men to tell us we are baby factories.
	We can reduce ourselves to baby factories.
	Babies!
	Screamed the handmaids.
	So this guy, I'm assuming it's a guy, wrote this article because he like saw a tweet someone did that liberals are banning the term woman and changing the term woman to birth giving people, birthing people.
	Like that's what this article is about.
	This article is a satire on a chain letter your grandma got.
	Also in the satire, the flaming libs are the people from Handmaid's Tale who I think everyone agrees with are going through a rough time and deserve to complain.
	I don't think there's anybody who's like, yep, that's cool.
	Yeah, I just, it's fast, it's the most bewildering piece of satire I've ever seen.
	It's pretty great.
	Like your claim is that liberals are going to put birth giving people on the, like replace the women's sign?
	With the gender essentialist biological female sign.
	Oh, it's gonna be a baby and then like gears.
	That's the joke, that's like the joke that you think resonates with people.
	It's gonna be a baby with gears, is that what you said?
	Yeah, like a factory, like a baby factory.
	Yeah.
	And then like on the men's bathroom, it's just gonna become... That's what those freaks want in the Democratic Party.
	They just think that men have penises and women have uteruses, you know?
	JB Sanpete.
	Again, this conversation moving, getting further away.
	This is a post in Remove Utah Senator Mitt Romney Facebook group.
	What's with this quote birthing person crap?
	I love you mom.
	HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!
	Are they asking their mom?
	That's what it sounds like.
	Please mom, do not read this post!
	Listen, I'm gonna call my mom mom.
	You can't make me call her that.
	I'm not gonna tell her happy birthing person's day.
	This was also popular in like Christian groups, you know?
	And so we have some comments from like a post in a Christian group.
	These are all just in a row.
	These are all three comments in a row.
	Jody Strawn says, nope, not how God made us or what he said.
	How about the adoptive parents?
	Is that what they're supposed to be called instead of mom and dad?
	You folks are idiots!
	I love this though.
	They're doing this thing now where they're saying, listen, having a uterus does not define who you are.
	It does not make it.
	That's not what makes you a woman.
	Yeah, it suddenly made them realize that being a fertile, birth-giving person doesn't make you a woman.
	Wait, that's not what makes you a woman.
	Not at all.
	What about the adopters?
	Shelly Hardy, the very next comment below, said, go fuck yourself and come up with a new gender-neutral term for that.
	So we have to think of a gender-neutral term for go fuck yourself.
	Yeah.
	What's gender neutral for yourself?
	That's going to be tough.
	I can't think of one.
	Oh man.
	I'm really against pronouns in general.
	I'm not a big fan.
	I think they're too woke.
	So I'm having a hard time with this one.
	Also, doesn't that mean that you think that only one gender masturbates?
	But I'm not sure which one they're saying does.
	I think we know which gender masturbates.
	That's true.
	Trooper.
	Trooper?
	It's a callback to last week's Patreon episode.
	Gayella Lebeau said, so stupid, what is the male going to give birth through his ass?
	Oh gosh.
	If you're anything like me, after some Taco Bell, Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Basically, that is what's happening.
	Yeah.
	What's taking so long in there?
	Just giving birth!
	Stacy Pennington said, so that's why I didn't get a call from my stepchildren that lived with me and their birthing father.
	Or is he now the sperm donor?
	I'm so confused.
	Palm face emoji.
	Wait, did you really not though?
	Is that what happened?
	Like, did you really not get a call?
	I don't know why you're questioning the validity of what she's saying.
	She's saying right here she didn't get a call.
	So, I think that must be why.
	It's because the Democrats changed it.
	They won't allow the kids to call anymore.
	They didn't call, they just sent her that tweet.
	They just sent her the statement.
	I mean, that's a lot more than some parents get that we've talked to, so I would be happy with that.
	I'll take it, yeah.
	I mean, maybe she's having trouble with iOS or her Android device and didn't see the tweet that she got?
	We should always respond to that.
	Have you tried resetting your phone?
	Have you tried being a decent person?
	Have you tried turning off your personality and turning it back on?
	Have you decided to hold yourself accountable for the trauma that you caused them when you raised them?
	Uh... Ben Porter said... BIRTHING PERSON!
	REALLY?!
	This has gone too far.
	It's time to choke awoke.
	What?
	Wait, they're specifically talking about choking her.
	So, uh, Ben Porter heard, uh, the term birthing person in a congressional hearing.
	He, I mean, let's be honest, he didn't hear this at all.
	He read it, you know, in a, in an email chain letter or, uh, you know, a turning point USA meme or something and decided it was time to, uh, kill Cori Bush.
	That's, that's wild.
	Also, that's what I'm going to call drinking off for now on too.
	Let me go choke the woke.
	Ben Porter posted this in the Facebook group.
	Vote Ben Porter in 2024.
	Tight.
	And it seems Ben Porter is running for president in 2024.
	They didn't even like do more than that.
	They didn't say like, uh, I'm here for women.
	That would have been smart.
	I think he's, he's, I think he, the implication is that he's here for one woman and that's Corey, Corey Bush.
	Yes.
	And I mean, that's a, it's, it's a well-defined platform.
	I mean, people are going to know what, what your issues are.
	That's true.
	That's always helpful.
	Separate separates you from the pack.
	Well, good luck to him.
	You know, I think that, uh, you know, local politics are... Wait, what is he running for?
	Uh, for president of the United States, Tony.
	Oh, okay.
	All right.
	We'll see him in the debates then.
	I mean, I won't.
	I don't, I don't, I don't watch the debates.
	And that's why, that's why you won't see him.
	It's just a bunch of empty promises.
	Do we, do we really think, do we really think he's going to choke Cory Bush?
	I don't think he could.
	I don't think he could.
	I don't think he's got the Kone's.
	He's gonna promise that and then he's gonna get a sudden campaign donation to the tune of $3,000 from a 1C Bush.
	And we all know who that will be.
	Oh, flip-floppers.
	Flip-floppers.
	Big Bush just controlling the democratic system.
	Uh, this was great.
	Uh, in the, in the Fox News comments, which, uh, we'll get, I'll, I'll, I'll do it a little, a little warning after this one.
	Hoss Head Norman says, well, in a way I sort of see this as a plus.
	No more cards to buy and waste our money.
	So they're still talking about Mother's Day.
	They still think Democrats canceled Mother's Day.
	Hoss Head Norman says, Well, in a way, I sort of see this as a plus.
	No more cards to buy and waste our money on.
	The greeting card folks are not going to be happy or the flower industry.
	But if we work on it, we could just do away with all of the holidays.
	And since Congress does very little work in the first place, this would give them a lot more time to do our business.
	Not even one holiday for anything.
	Just think how much more we could squeeze out of Congress.
	Like, not a terrible idea?
	Well, okay, so, I mean, you bake bread and do a podcast for a living, Tony.
	I deliver packages Monday through Friday.
	I think Hoss Head Norman might be retired if he's like, I can't see my days changing whatsoever if we got rid of all holidays.
	Let's just get rid of all federal holidays because I'm literally not doing anything besides posting in the comment section.
	That would totally own Nancy Pelosi.
	That would own her so hard if we got rid of Christmas and Thanksgiving holidays.
	Yo, she loves holidays too.
	She's a big holiday head.
	Also, wouldn't we just change the name of Mother's Day is what would be happening in this hypothetical?
	The name wouldn't be going away.
	I think this would be an opportunity for Big Greeting Card to charge more for their card because that's more lettering.
	Birthing People is more than Mother's Day.
	Yeah, I think what the implication is is that they will try to change the name of the holiday and so many Patriots will rise up by not doing the holiday.
	The green cards will lose money and they'll just, you know, they'll cancel the holidays due to lack of interest.
	Sorry, no one believes anymore.
	I also like the idea, oh yeah, now Congress will have to work on Mother's Day, which is of course a Sunday.
	That day they were totally going to work whether or not there was a holiday.
	Which is good that it's Sunday because they're probably, if it was like a Wednesday, they would take three weeks off for it.
	Uh, Staj replies, I've already boycotted Hallmark.
	Alright, good for you.
	Good for you.
	He's like, nope, only homemade cards from here on out.
	Like I mean you you probably like shouldn't spend eight dollars on a card or whatever if you can avoid it but at the at the same time like why why did what about like every now and then we get somebody who's just got some like real quaint old-fashioned grievances like this that I I kind of like I kind of miss it it takes me back to a simpler time like this This person saw like a gay anniversary card.
	And they were like, I'm done.
	That's it.
	Yeah, they're mad because they actually made an ornament out of the Black Storm Trooper.
	They're like, nope.
	I'm done.
	I'm done with this.
	It's bullshit.
	Okay, so yeah, an entire cynic said, this worldview comes directly from communist theory.
	Where are we as a nation when it's not hyperbole to say an elected official in this nation is espousing Marxist views?
	And yeah, the birthing people is Marxist theory.
	That's Marxism 101.
	Marxism at its finest!
	Also, is that a law?
	Like, politicians can't say Marxist views?
	Well, it's in the Constitution.
	It says if your government is ever espousing Marxist views, like you as a patriot have the right to... Choke them.
	Yeah, choke them.
	That makes sense.
	Okay.
	I love it, though.
	That's the communism!
	That's it.
	That's it.
	That's the Marx... Oh, when you adopt an older dog and move into the White House and they bite a staffer, that's it.
	That's the communism.
	That's it.
	It's over.
	Communism got him.
	It's that classic thing where they're blaming the byproduct of capitalism on communism.
	It's great to watch because they just can't quite pick it up.
	Yeah, they're just blamed like I mean, it's like it's it's it makes sense because like this is what like Jordan Peterson calls communism and this is like what the far-right calls Communism is like yeah cultural Marxism, which is yeah, like having women in society or having trans people in Society is cultural Marxism it's it's conflating the concept of equality and Like, you know, equality isn't fair treatment and equality isn't- everyone has to share everything, everything is everybody's.
	Which is their, like, weird interpretation of communism, you know?
	Yeah.
	Yeah, that's probably it.
	That's what it is.
	It's like, oh, that's what you get!
	Uh, so now we've reached the horrific racism part of the episode.
	God.
	Uh, this was...
	This was the most racist comment section I think I've ever seen in Fox News.
	If you're not aware, I mean, I guess we read the tweet.
	Yeah, Corey Bush is African American.
	Like, there's comments in here that I can't read.
	Like, this top one is Terry Aki quoting Gone With The Wind.
	Jesus Christ.
	Which there's a prominent line from one of the female slaves in that movie who has to like assist in a birth or something.
	And that's what they're quoting, is they're quoting her saying, you know, I don't know anything about birthing babies in the dialect.
	They're saying, oh, I know everything about birthing babies.
	Miss Scarlet, but in the same dialect.
	So they're just like, they saw a black girl, black woman on the headline and they're like, oh, I know a reference I can use.
	Yeah.
	That's the reach.
	That's how far, that's really going for black representation in pop culture has gone with the wind.
	Yeah.
	I mean, their mind just jumped to it for some reason.
	I can't imagine why.
	So weird.
	So strange.
	And then somebody replied with the actual quote, because again, like Terry did a twist on it where she was like, oh, what if... I can't remember the name of the character, but it's like Butterfly or something.
	She's like, the twist on it was like, oh, what if Butterfly pretended she knew everything about birthing babies, you know?
	And somebody replied with just the original quote.
	Like think, I don't know, thinking that was like funnier or thinking that was like they were correcting the original, I don't know, you know, it's a, it's a nice, uh, agora of, of, uh, rich, rich trains of thought in here.
	Uh, JP, yeah, go ahead.
	Gone with the Wind is one of my favorite references for racism and how like relative it is to history because like if you think about it this is a this is a moving picture film that is in full color that was in theaters that we have the technology to do that which is a relatively new technology in the span of mankind and also even you know even American history.
	At the premiere of this movie that actress was not allowed to go see the premiere.
	That actress was nominated for an Oscar later that year and was not allowed to the premiere of that movie.
	That's how relative racism is.
	That's how recent that shit is in America.
	They don't even know that part of the history of Gone with the Wind and how it really illustrates how fucked things are.
	What you just did right there, Tony, is you just brought up old problems.
	You just brought up, you know, living in the past, that shit is like, just let it go.
	It's no big deal.
	Also, if you, but on the other hand, when you criticize Gone with the Wind, how dare you?
	How dare you try to mess with the past?
	Respect the classics!
	That's important to remember.
	That's important history is just that Gone with the Wind was good.
	You have to like that part.
	Oh, you think you would have got belly if Gone with the Wind never happened?
	Think again, my friend.
	Yeah. - Yeah.
	Oh, yeah.
	Oh, uh, oh, well, uh, that actress wasn't allowed at the premiere of Gone with the Wind.
	Oh, yeah.
	Well, Aunt Jemima is not allowed on the bottle anymore.
	Sound familiar?
	Let her back in.
	Let her back in.
	Yeah.
	Paul McCartney said it 30, 40 years ago.
	Let him in to my Aunt Jemima, to my product placement.
	Someone's knocking that door.
	It's Uncle Ben.
	Somebody's ringing the bell.
	It's the butter maiden from Land O'Lakes.
	Let him in.
	Yeah, let him in.
	JP Fence says, from the same people that gave us, quote, Ebonics.
	What?
	What are you saying right now?
	Are you saying that she's making up new words?
	So, like, she's making up new words and just like, of course, this is just like Ebonics?
	Yeah yeah this is shit that like A$AP Rocky was using in songs and now it's like made it to the uh made it to the congress made it to the fucking the house floor great wow wow I like the I imagine that future you know someone's talking about like nah like my whole life is honestly money weed birthing people that's all I care about those are my priorities
	Um, I got birthing people in different area codes.
	That song we know.
	You know that one.
	Yeah, uh.
	Birthing people.
	Birthing people.
	Birth!
	They give birth.
	Uh, it's uh, it's crazy that Cory Bush is the one who created Ebonics too.
	She created Ebonics as well as the term birthing people.
	Because I can't see why else J.P.
	Fentz would say that she created Ebonics if it wasn't her, you know?
	Yeah, yeah.
	It was definitely... It might not have been her, but she was probably one of her cousins.
	So this is like... This is the real heart of the matter.
	All these comments had like 50, 100...
	Likes.
	There was no pushback on any of this.
	disgusting racism in this comment section whatsoever which is ironic because there are a lot of libs in the fox news comment section now there are a lot of like centrist anti-trump republican types this comment section was just overwhelmingly like the conservative base in here uh and this comment was this sentiment that i'm about to read was like prevalent throughout and again it's just it's awful
	it's fucking disgusting but it it represents like what these people think and it's just so it gives up the game it gives up the game with this faux outrage that they're trying to play here um like because remember this whole thing is they're trying to accuse her of not being inclusive of Of her devaluing women.
	Yeah.
	Exactly.
	So being regressive here, which is clearly not what's happening.
	That's the great thing about this.
	And Old Joe says, quote, birthing people.
	Well, considering how her black, quote, welfare queen sisters drop kids to get a bigger government check, that just might be the right term.
	What year is it right now?
	Is it 1986?
	Is Reagan in office?
	I haven't heard the term railfrog creams... like, naturally.
	Unless I was watching a documentary since, like, the 90s.
	Or doing research for Minion Death Cult.
	Are we doing research for Minion Death Cult?
	They, uh, they use it a lot.
	Um... No, but this is absolutely, like...
	them not being able to pretend to care about women this this like like they they did it for like the span of maybe one or two posts and then just you know they're they're like roger rabbit in the shave and a haircut bit You know, just like steam started pouring out of their ears and they couldn't pretend to clutch their pearls about denigrating women any longer and they were like, oh yeah, no, that's what they are.
	They are birthing people.
	They are just baby factories.
	What I will say is, did he spell sisters with R?
	He used the hard R for sisters.
	Thank you for that, at least.
	Thank you for doing that, at least.
	Cause I know that was hard.
	I bet you he went back and deleted the AS.
	He was like, that's too far.
	Let me go back and fix this.
	Yeah.
	Well, it's that it's the same thing of like when, uh, conservatives pretend to hate Muslim or, I mean, they do hate Muslims, but like they pretend the reason that they hate Muslims is because Muslims are anti LGBT.
	Uh-huh, uh-huh.
	But they can't get through that comparison without obviously fantasizing about Muslims murdering the LGBT?
	Oh yeah, that's absolutely.
	And it just reveals the whole game, and that's what you see in this comment section.
	And then finally, this is the last one, ending this subject on a lighter note.
	WhiskeyAlphaRomero, and each of those words were capitalized just to make sure you get it.
	Well, I'm going to church Sunday.
	Got to Grandma's place to have dinner with my aunts, uncles, and cousins.
	Have great conversations and tons of laughs.
	Go hang outside for a while and decide when we are going to restore Pawpaw's 56 Chevy in the barn.
	Yes, we do all these things, and with no cell phones, and I absolutely love it.
	Me and the wife may take in a drive-in movie later on.
	Our family does this every Sunday, because nobody wants to miss grandma's country fried chicken, green beans mashed potatoes, cornbread, and all the pie you can eat.
	Some things in life are more important than social media, the news, and other things that separate families.
	By the way, all these things are gone now and my loved ones are all buried in the family cemetery.
	But the things I enjoyed most are still... The things I enjoyed most are still here in my memories.
	Live life like it will be your last one.
	God bless.
	What the fuck?
	I love that because the whole time I was reading that, I was thinking... Man, okay, first of all, you did that one time.
	That was one Sunday.
	No one's doing all that in a Sunday.
	You don't do family barbecue, fried chicken, cookout, and then a drive-in theater.
	You're not doing that.
	Especially not every Sunday.
	And then the way it wraps it up...
	There's something special about posting a long comment to social media about all the things you're doing instead of social media and then revealing at the end that all those things are dead, actually.
	It's not that we didn't have cell phones because we were against cell phones.
	It's that it was 2006 and they weren't smart yet.
	They just were phones.
	That's awfully generous of you to think that this person still had a grandma in 2006.
	This person's listening and they're like, yeah, she died in 2005, you asshole. um Yeah, what if cell phones but too much?
	What if relatives but too few?
	Zero, you know?
	So, this is like such a sad comment.
	It's pretty, it's kind of wholesome, but it's also, it's a little preachy.
	It's too preachy.
	It's wholesome if it wasn't in response to this thing.
	It's almost more wholesome because maybe they could see the grievance, the outrage, the clickbait.
	Maybe they could see what Fox News was trying to do here.
	And they're like, well, I'm just going to grill.
	You want me to be mad at this young lady?
	I'm just going to have a nice time with my family.
	I don't care about this.
	That would be a wholesome response.
	That would be about as wholesome a response as you could get in the Fox News comments section.
	Yeah, absolutely.
	But instead, I just wish that I could have my family back and not listen to Democrats.
	I wish I had an excuse not to be on social media, but here we are.
	Yeah, I used to fill my time with things.
	I think it was every Sunday I did that.
	I'm pretty sure.
	Yeah, and then God had other plans.
	God wanted me here, apparently.
	So, moving on to our next topic for the episode, Van Morrison, acclaimed singer-songwriter Van Morrison, released a new album that came across my feed and is something else.
	If you're not familiar with Van Morrison in recent years, Van Morrison who of course did like Brown Eyed Girl, Moon Dance, it's a pretty good album actually.
	He seems to have in the last year or two, he seems to have not gone insane and had totally regained, you know, totally retained like perspective And a good outlook and a healthy disposition.
	I would say almost evolved, which was hard to imagine when you cite those earlier projects.
	He has a new record project called Latest Record Project, Volume 1.
	And I kind of want to We can't, there are 28 tracks, 28 tracks of just normal music on this album.
	And there's so much normalcy, we can't play it all.
	But I want to kind of go like maybe in, what do you call it?
	Maybe in like ascending from like, you know, most average to most very average.
	And the title track, which is the first song, is I think a good place to start.
	I'm going to play a little bit of it for Tony and for the listener, and let's see if Van Morrison sues us.
	Have you got my love?
	Latest record project.
	You got my latest record project.
	Not something that I used to do.
	Not something that you're used to.
	I need to hear the backup singers.
	relate to in the present present you got my latest songs I'm singing I need to hear the back up so you got my latest songs
	I'm singing not something so yeah so it's a good song and
	I mean, I think he could make a fortune selling this song to Casio and have it play when you hit the button for Piano Blues number two.
	Yeah, I think, because it's different than the one, it's way different than Piano Blues No.
	1.
	This is like, like he says, this is like something he's never done before.
	This is something I might not be able to relate to, let's say, like relate to in the present, right?
	This song is five minutes long.
	And it's just, have you got my latest record project?
	You're doing way more than he is right now.
	That's the best part.
	Well, but he's got all that help with it.
	They're on every track just about.
	Okay, so I was driving around listening to this, and I had my windows down because I don't have the air conditioning right now, and so I had to listen to it pretty loud, and I would be at a stop or something like that, and I'm like, oh shit, oh man, someone's hearing this right now.
	But no one's ever hearing what you're listening to, but in my mind I'm like, oh man, I probably look very cool right now.
	The next song I want to play is, I mean, it's going to be obvious why as soon as it starts up.
	Why are you on Facebook?
	Why do you need secondhand friends?
	Yep.
	Why do you really care who's trending?
	Or is there something you're defending?
	Did a life, is it that empty and sad?
	Okay, this song is, again, five minutes long.
	Yep.
	This song is four minutes and 55 seconds of him saying, Why are you on Facebook?
	I do like how he tells you to get a life.
	Stop.
	Stop being on Facebook and get a life.
	Yeah, those are fake friends.
	None of this matters.
	And every single song, like you said, is five minutes, and it's one verse that he'll sing four times and maybe change one or two words.
	And you know what?
	Sometimes he just sounds really drunk, too.
	Like, he had to be ripped making this whole thing, and I love the energy he brought to it.
	The reason every song is five minutes is, yeah, because he repeats the chorus like 56 times, but there's also a keyboard solo in every single song, so I have to give him points for that.
	Like, I can't not give him points for that.
	Let me play the Why Are You On Facebook keyboard solo.
	That's right.
	That's how you do it. - Millennial!
	It's a mean, a mean, soulful, soulful keyboard.
	The whole thing has this quality... I mean, Ray Manzarek is dead, okay?
	This is what we got now.
	This is who we have, is Van Morrison.
	Suck it up, buttercup.
	Like, this... This album should only exist on CD in a gas station.
	Or a car wash, you know, that's it.
	No, this is like literally the royalty-free songs you can get for your home karaoke machine.
	That's what this shit is.
	Why are you on Facebook?
	Not a bad, not like a sentiment that's that bad, to be honest.
	No.
	Nobody should be on Facebook.
	I like that he's owning people by saying you don't have any real friends, go outside, touch a football, etc.
	That first song we should say, yeah, Latest Record Project, is once again a five minute song about how he has a new record that you're listening to?
	That's it.
	While asking you if you're listening to it.
	He's asking you if you're listening to it.
	So that's kind of like I think the baseline for like what what lyrics can be.
	That's kind of that's kind of like an even you know like like just like that's the bare minimum I think for lyrics is I have a song are you listening to the song right now okay cool.
	And why are you on Facebook?
	He's pretty harsh.
	At one point he says, are you looking for a scapegoat or someone to blame because you're a failure time and time again?
	There's also lyrics that are like, you kiss the girls and run away.
	You kiss the girl and run away, which is like, you can't really get in there.
	you can't really get in there.
	You can't really commit to the project. - Wow.
	This one, again, we're only going to play a few of these and then I'll read, like, the titles that we don't play.
	But this next one was one of my favorites.
	Oh, I should say, I got a YouTube, a good YouTube comment from Why Are You On Facebook.
	Ooh, bring it.
	Chris Roberts says, what I love is the chorus.
	Why are you on Facebook?
	Makes you think.
	You would have to love the chorus to love this song.
	That's true.
	It's a good portion of it is chorus.
	I also love that he thought he needed to tell us what the chorus was.
	Well, I think he's just thinking about that chorus.
	I think he's just like thinking out loud in the comments section.
	He's like, you know, the name of the song is good, but the chorus, the chorus is what gets me.
	It's just one of those choruses that gets stuck in your head.
	And I don't think it's because he repeats it 106 times.
	What's funny about this too, it's all palatable.
	Like it's all, if this was on in like a store, you might not notice it.
	You know?
	It's all like, I was kind of surprised how long it took before I was like, oh, I'm still listening to this?
	Let me skip this.
	So when they start to get more interesting, I mean, the second track is called Where Have All the Rebels Gone?
	I don't remember any funny lyrics from that one in particular.
	The long con, which is track six, was one that stood out to me.
	I'm going to play a little bit of that.
	You're thinking, like, oh, the long con, like, what is this about society?
	What is this about, like, a grift somebody's pulling?
	And let's hear what Van Morrison thinks is the long con.
	I'm a targeted individual.
	Got caught up in a long corn.
	I'm a targeted individual.
	Got caught up in a long corn.
	Yep, yep.
	I'm a targeted individual.
	I got caught up in a long corn.
	Four judges screwed me over.
	Backed me up against a wall.
	Four judges screwed me over.
	Got me backed up against a wall.
	He's just a common man, like the rest of us, who gets screwed over by four different judges.
	It was very specific.
	This is the one in particular where I was like, how drunk is he when he... Because he says, I'm a target individual a few times in the beginning, and you can't tell what he's saying.
	Because when he opens it up, he repeats just a target individual like five, six times, and you can't understand what he's saying.
	For a harmonica to sound like that, it has to be soaked in Bud Heavy.
	That's true.
	You have to be able to hear the bubbling of the Budweiser in the harmonica to get that tone out of it.
	You know, we just call it conditioning in the biz.
	It's got to be conditioned.
	This is like, it's like the Hercules movie, It's like a really shitty knockoff version of the Hercules animated movie.
	With the, what are they called, the chorus, the singers who narrate what's going on, and they're like, who's pulling the strings?
	I think it's just, you're wrong.
	I think it's like, I don't know, man.
	This is pretty crazy.
	It was four lawyers.
	It wasn't just one.
	Judges.
	It was four judges.
	Don't blame the lawyers.
	We know who has the power, and it's the female judges.
	They're clearly after him.
	I'm not sure because I went to Genius.com to see if I could find these lyrics, and they weren't there.
	None of the lyrics were on Genius.com, and so I can only think That whoever's in charge of putting lyrics on Genius.com has refused to annotate this album.
	It sounds like they're protecting him.
	If this was a young rapper, they would be like, oh, this is actually the lyric that put him away for two years.
	This lyric references when he did this crime.
	Yeah, possibly referring to his assault or whatever.
	Yeah, no, I think there's a conspiracy because, I mean, somebody has to be in charge of putting lyrics on Genius.com and whoever that person is, they're probably trying to silence Van Morrison, which is one of the reasons we're covering his stuff on this show.
	Gotta get the word out as much as possible.
	So, if you're not familiar with last year, what happened was there was a worldwide pandemic There was a lockdown of various establishments, business establishments, particularly in Northern Ireland where Van Morrison is from.
	They were not allowing live music and Van Morrison had a problem with that and released an anti-lockdown song with, I believe, Eric Clapton Eric Clapton, notorious for hating being shut up in his apartment.
	Just gotta let it all hang out of that apartment.
	Can't contain that man to an apartment, right?
	That's true.
	Or his extended family.
	I have a quote here from The Guardian.
	Van Morrison has described the British government as, quote, fascist bullies disturbing our peace.
	In one of the three new tracks, he's written a protest against safety measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
	On No More Lockdowns, Morrison sings, quote, no more lockdown, no more government overreach, no more fascist bullies disturbing our peace.
	No more taking of our freedom and our God-given rights, pretending it's for our safety when it's really to enslave.
	That last one kind of hits like a little bit of clunker there.
	I feel like if I do a cover of that song, it could go hard.
	Could.
	With those exact lyrics.
	Yeah.
	But it's just not Van Morrison singing it.
	Yeah.
	I would love to hear you sing about your God-given rights, Tony.
	And the fascists?
	You could just say dog-given rights, and that would be a funny atheist spin on the lyrics.
	The song also condemns, quote, celebrities telling us what we're supposed to feel, although the 75-year-old Northern Irish songwriter denied doing this himself.
	No, I'm not trying to tell you how to feel.
	It's the celebrities I'm telling you the way they're telling you to feel is wrong and you shouldn't feel that way.
	And he attempted to file a lawsuit against Northern Ireland for closing music venues.
	And maybe that's the judges that he's talking about targeting him for filing a lawsuit in their court.
	Yeah.
	Awesome.
	That's what happens when you're targeted.
	When you instigate something and you're already targeted, you can't win.
	We know that.
	So as you go through this, a lot of this album seems to be fueled entirely by personal grievance and just like a profound hatred of man and not in the good way like Shai Halud did.
	Um, it is, like, No Good Deed Goes Unpunished is about, like, a woman who, like, dumped him even after he gave her a million euros or something.
	Oh, that's exactly that.
	Like, the lyrics are right in front of me.
	Gave you a million euros, said that wasn't enough.
	How come when you're still fit and able, you're too lazy to go out and work?
	Tight.
	So I'm dating a welfare queen.
	Yeah.
	This whole album is just a series of men posting their L's in music form.
	Yes.
	He's getting owned by judges, he's getting owned by coronavirus, he's getting owned by Facebook, owned by women he dated.
	It's a pretty funny album.
	I honestly, like, can't really recommend you listen to it because, again, it's 28 songs long and If you're a glutton for this shit, yeah, listen to it, but it's not, it's just like standard CFG blues with like moderate to far right wing old man lyrics throughout.
	Yeah.
	Love should come with a warning, deadbeat Saturday night.
	Which is really underwhelming.
	I wanted that one to be a banger and I wasn't into that one.
	There's nothing that fun in that one.
	There's one called Big Lie, but I don't think it's about the Holocaust.
	There is one called They Own the Media.
	That uh no triple parentheses but I think like Tony said there is a lot of reverb around uh one word in in that song maybe perhaps uh creating an echo uh around it yeah yeah uh there's a song called stop bitching do something That one bangs because like that one totally contradicts the entire album.
	The entire album is bitching.
	That's the entire album.
	And then that song's like and you're waiting he doesn't even say you know go fight someone or like go it's just it's just no suggestions on what to do it's just stop bitching do something and he's just repeating that for five minutes.
	My favorite title is probably Duper's Delight, which is a parody of Rapper's Delight.
	We don't have time to play it right now, but the lyrics do line up one for one with Rapper's Delight.
	Wait, are you serious?
	Yeah.
	Oh, man.
	Yeah, you gotta listen to it again.
	Well, I hate Rapper's Delight, so I'm not gonna listen to this either.
	Well, that's interesting.
	I thought you were a hip-hop head.
	I know, you would assume, right?
	You would think so.
	No, the last one I want to play is the song Western Man, which appears after Stop Bitching, Do Something, and before they own the media.
	The song, again, called Western Man.
	It's like, it's like the version of Southern Man, but the, but the man is good in this.
	The racist guy is cool in this version.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Western man has no plan.
	Since he became complacent.
	Stopped believing in himself.
	Let others steal his rewards While he was dreaming While he was dreaming Others were scheming Doing deals behind his back Now a western man is adrift And under attack What happened in between?
	Now there's no other bite of the cherry Unless he's prepared to fight Start on a new path to freedom
	This, like, this is totally indistinguishable from any, like, right-wing Facebook, you know, folk artist that has a live video where other, you know, Grammys and Grampys join in singing about rising up against the government or something.
	The second verse, I had to rewind a couple times because I was like, I'm not hearing that right.
	There's no way I'm hearing what I'm hearing.
	Because the second verse goes into a song that would be on the American History X playlist.
	What are the lyrics, or what's the time where that second verse starts?
	I don't know the time, but the lyrics I have written down.
	The lyrics are, caretakers have taken over the main building.
	The governors have gone over the wall.
	Wow.
	Plan to start meetings in the forest.
	So it's- Like the fucking Klan!
	Like the Ku Klux Klan!
	Like, it's insane!
	The caretakers- The slaves- The help has taken over the building.
	Yeah!
	What are you doing, western man?
	The whole thing, like what a wild, plan to start, cause at that point you're like, what, this is pretty, and then when he says, plan to start meetings in the forest, I was like, what?
	That only makes me think of one thing and one thing only.
	Grab your bed sheets, these people are afraid of ghosts.
	Grab a couple two by fours if you got them.
	Some gasoline.
	Oh man like it's so like that's I don't even know how else to take that.
	This guy is from Northern Ireland and he's singing about uh He's he's singing about oppression coming in the form of immigrants.
	Yes Try to try to picture yourself in that situation being from Northern Ireland Being from Ireland in general and being worried about immigrants taking your way of life and trying to control you.
	That's so incredible.
	Yeah, the lyrics in the first verse are, Western man, while he was dreaming, others were scheming.
	Scheming.
	Others were folding their hands together under protruding noses and rubbing them together and deciding how to, quote, steal his rewards.
	Steal his rewards.
	Western man, you were going to get loot boxes, but in real life!
	They were going to drop new skins for you to use.
	There was going to be a girlfriend mod in one of those boxes.
	And, oh, it turns out the migrants on the refugee raft, they took them.
	They grabbed them.
	They grabbed the box before you could.
	They pressed triangle before you did.
	Yeah, while we were working, they figured out the cheat codes.
	Your rewards.
	Like, as a Western man, you should get those rewards.
	You should be entitled to those rewards.
	What rewards?
	And he, like, says, like, the things we've earned, and, like, what we deserve, and the whole thing is... He's saying there's no second bite at the cherry, which is...
	That's not the way that... I think it's a bite at the apple.
	I think that's the way that phrase normally is, but... Yeah.
	He's talking about it being a zero-sum game, and the immigrants are taking too much and leaving you with too little, because we all know if there's anyone amassing too many... too much rewards and wealth, it's immigrants.
	Absolutely, especially in Northern Ireland.
	Yeah, and then if you go to like the last three minutes of this song, I'll play a little bit of it.
	While he was dreaming While he was dreaming.
	Others were scheming, scheming while he was dreaming.
	Others were scheming while he was dreaming.
	Just riff it up.
	This is songwriting, folks.
	This is how you do it.
	So, again, this is a song.
	He's upset.
	He's trying to invigorate a population of aggrieved white men.
	They need to be invigorated further, I guess.
	But he's just telling them that they're losers.
	Yeah.
	I'm blowing it.
	Like the Western man is a fucking joke.
	You're pathetic.
	You fucked up.
	You're done.
	You're over.
	That paired with stop bitching is just a volatile cocktail.
	Yeah, others were scheming while he was dreaming for 10 minutes at the end of that song.
	Forever.
	Uh, and then I have one YouTube comment, uh, from that upload.
	Um, somebody was like, uh, this song is like hilarious.
	The song sounds like an SNL parody.
	Um, or it sounds like something SNL would write to parody something.
	Like, it's not even funny in an ironic way.
	It's just like embarrassing altogether.
	Um, and Jean, like the French, Jean Pepe McCray.
	Uh, whose avatar was like an SS soldier, uh, with a Pepe head.
	Naturally.
	Superimposed over the face.
	Says, how does it feel being such a bitch?
	Just our music scares you.
	Wait until Western man wakes up.
	Uh, smiley face.
	It sucks because when you told me about this my response was like well it's cool because there's no way that it's so bad that I don't think people even ironically get into this but this makes me feel like there is that option like there are going to be and the cool thing about these songs is these are songs that simple dudes could learn to play on an acoustic guitar to sing At little gatherings.
	And we're gonna see that.
	It's terrifying.
	Yeah, that frightens me to no end.
	I think, you know, I think we are very afraid of the Van Morrison songs.
	I think they do strike fear into the hearts of the working class, the self-aware working class.
	I think, yeah, I think the far-right ethno-nationalist alpha males should embrace the 75-year-old Northern Ireland guy complaining about Facebook.
	Yeah.
	I definitely think that's the way to go with it.
	It would definitely scare me.
	God, can you imagine, like, a Pepe Oven meme where the speakers are blasting, like, you know, brown-eyed girl or something?
	I don't know if they'll get, they won't get into the back catalogue, they're gonna stan the new shit.
	They're gonna be the one, like, wait till he gets to tour America again.
	I just love having to listen to this and be like, yeah, this is alpha, actually.
	This is actually alpha shit?
	This is actually, like, real hard-bodied shit, and you guys are all scared of the Van Morrison album about Facebook.
	This shit gets me going.
	This shit gets me fucking pumped.
	Yeah.
	That's what I work out to.
	Is this album cringe or is it just terrifying?
	Yeah.
	You decide.
	Is this album cringe or are you just a punk?
	Are you just a little cuck?
	Yeah.
