Time Text
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 people go to school and get yourself.
All their environment, all stuff.
Stay tuned.
All right, I'm Alexander Edward.
And I'm Tony Boswell.
We are Minion Death Cult.
The world is ending.
People who refuse to believe a black man could work a job or drive a truck are responsible.
I think even sweat.
We're documenting it.
What's up everybody?
Thank you for joining the show.
We have a bit of a mixed bag today, just some sort of like heavy stuff we have to talk about up top.
We will put the old MDC spin on it for sure, but more serious subject matter in the first half of this show, and then just like the least serious subject matter you could imagine in the second half of this episode.
So hang in there, folks.
I mean, it's going to be good all the way through, I think, but just there's a light at the end of the tunnel.
Yeah, there's balance here.
I am, of course, referring to the ongoing wholesale slaughter of the Palestinian people in both the Gaza Strip and the West Bank right now.
I mean, this is something that I Have been like more reluctant to talk about on the show because this show is you know primarily focused on like the worst most idiotic most bloodthirsty people in our country and I don't think like we need to remind anybody that we are supporting as a country and
As a bipartisan effort supporting that sort of frankly ethnic cleansing and apartheid regime in the Middle East, in Israel.
And I don't know what we can add to the conversation besides obviously just saying how awful it is.
It is in line with, you know, the, uh, the minion death cult motif, but it's, it's just almost like too, uh, too, even too death cult.
I mean, people are like, yeah, being killed.
Uh, hundreds of Palestinians are being killed right now, uh, funded by our tax dollars.
So I, I thought maybe, uh, A way we could talk about this, that would make it more relevant to, you know, our audience and to our purview, was discussing a Facebook group I came across a month ago, a month or so ago, called Progressive Zionists.
And I was really interested to see what a progressive Zionist was.
Yeah, what does that look like?
Yeah, I think the only way we can explain what a progressive Zionist looks like is to just let them...
Let them speak for themselves.
You know, just sort of dip our toe in this well.
See how progressive it is.
So somebody posted a political cartoon in the Progressive Zionist Facebook group.
And it has a man wearing a shirt that says EU on it, giving money to another guy in front of a Palestinian flag that says, save the children.
The guy taking the money is wearing a shirt that says NGO and he's taking money and he's got this sort of like hehehe look on his face, you know, and he's got, uh, you know, olive, olive skin and dark curly hair.
Uh, and he's passing off money to, uh, a terrorist.
He's passing off money to a guy with face coverings and holding what looks to be an AK-47 saying thank you while buildings in the background are destroyed and bodies are lying bleeding behind him.
What's really impressive about this illustration is the terrorist figure here is wearing face coverings, but they've done it in such a way to where they still have a smirk.
You can still see the corner of their mouth peeking out.
That's an important part of it.
And it still has this smirk that is very much the same face as the slimy NGO guy.
I guess that might be progressive.
We want to put a stop to the dark money.
We want to expose where this money, where the big dollars are going.
So maybe that's what they mean.
That would be great.
I'm sure they're talking about, like you said, the funds going to the missile defense systems and how they're actually slaughtering innocent citizens, right?
No, I don't see any Israel flags here.
I just see a big Palestinian flag.
Any effort to help the children of Palestine is obviously a payout to big terrorists.
And I mean, that's kind of in line with what Israel is doing when they're indiscriminately killing children over there.
There must be a connection between the kids and the terrorists.
That's the only reason I can see this.
I wonder if it's because the median age in Palestine is about 18 years old.
I wonder if that's one of the reasons so many of these kids are terrorists now.
Moving on, let's see if we can see anything, any other progressives.
So this other one is...
Another sort of graphic and it shows the top of the continent of Africa and the Middle East and a bunch of different states, bunch of different countries are highlighted in green throughout Africa and then throughout the Middle East.
And then, uh, one little state, very tiny, tiny state, small, small bean, is, uh, circled in red, and it says, the green is the Arab world.
That tiny speck is Israel.
Uh, so, I mean, what it sounds like they're saying is, like, Israel should be grabbing even more land.
Israel should be ex- I mean, to make it fair, Israel should be expanding its borders, like, by thousand-fold.
Yeah, in proportion, it's much smaller than surrounding countries.
I mean, come on.
I just want it fair and balanced.
You know, it should be, you know, equalized.
It should find some middle ground here.
And I mean by middle ground, I mean like halfway across Africa, maybe halfway into like Saudi Arabia, that sort of thing.
I don't know, when I see this map where they're like, You know, saying, hey, you might not like Israel, or you might not like everything they do, but look at what they're surrounded by.
Look at what they have to deal with.
And to me, my answer's like, well, it just seems like maybe you shouldn't have put the country there.
Yeah, yeah.
You literally picked that spot.
You made that happen.
You laid out the ground rules here.
You set the perimeters.
Yeah, so I don't, you know, I don't know.
The news of Israel bombing the media tower that was also a residence where the IDF claimed Hamas had offices in there and also, oh oops, the Associated Press had an office there and Al Jazeera had Had an office in there as well.
Now, we all know Al Jazeera is like terrorists, right?
I mean, it sounds like it, at least, right?
So, I mean, you know, we were going to do that.
The U.S.
was probably going to do that.
So, whatever.
But the AP, you know, the Associated Press, like, you know, that's kind of a big deal that Israel would just bomb their offices or whatever.
I have a post here from the Jerusalem Post in the Progressive Zionists Facebook group.
It says, Israel showed U.S.
smoking gun on Hamas in AP office tower, officials say.
And so we all believe that, I think, just as a matter of fact.
I mean, it's coming from the Jerusalem Post.
I don't know why I wouldn't believe this.
Yeah, well, I mean, the Jerusalem Post is, like, quoting an official, so I believe the Jerusalem Post that an official said this, that an official said that Israel showed U.S.
the smoking gun.
I believe that an official said that.
That probably happened.
Yeah.
Um, I, I, and I, you know what?
I believe that.
Yeah.
Uh, Israel showed us the smoking gun.
They said, Hey, look at these tubes.
Look at these tubes here in the office.
These are Hamas tubes.
Uh, and the U S was like, huh?
What?
Oh, I wasn't paying attention.
I was handing you more money while you were talking.
Sorry.
What did you say?
Yeah.
You can just write that off.
You can just add that to the, add that to the bill.
I mean, I don't care about those smoking guns.
Like we're just gonna give you money anyways.
Michal Roca said they had an hour to leave.
That's a long time to grab your bad bag and go.
Don't be fooled by propaganda.
I've seen that narrative more than once about the humane bombings.
About how they do small explosions before the big explosions.
So you can go.
Yeah, that's when I when I hear an explosion, I definitely run out into the street.
I don't like duck and cover, you know, in a doorframe or something.
I mean, maybe there's different drills.
Maybe when you're terrorized by the country next to you for so long, you know what to do when you hear a little small explosion like that.
I mean, you are a fool to think that there's an explosion by your building and your building is not going to fall in that particular scenario.
Yeah, um... So fucked.
I like that the, yeah, don't be fooled by the propaganda.
Uh, yes, they blew up the building.
Yes, it was the building that housed the AP and civilians and Al Jazeera.
But don't believe the propaganda that they didn't give him an hour's notice, warn it.
Like, that's what you're worried, you're worried about the propaganda that they didn't have enough time, like, didn't have enough forewarning or whatever, right?
And I don't think anybody's, like, trying to say that, oh, Israel, they didn't even give them an hour and a half to get out.
They only gave them an hour.
It's like, well, I don't think that's... anybody's making that argument.
No, that's not the point at all.
They send out, like, an alert on all the phones.
I mean, it happens every day, but if they send it out, you can... that's on you.
That's so fucking gross.
And I love this exaggeration.
She said, long with several O's.
Yeah, that's like 1-0 at the most.
An hour?
Yeah, I wouldn't ever do anything in an hour, you know?
It's enough time to pack your bags and go.
Get your bags and go.
This is another thing that I've kind of, like, learned as, you know, the...
The Israel-Palestine, quote, conflict has been going on, you know, throughout my whole life.
One thing you always hear is, you know, oh, Hamas, they hide behind civilian shields.
They hide, you know, in residential buildings and they put their weaponry around populated area, densely populated areas.
And the more you actually, like, learn about Gaza and the West Bank is that It just is a densely populated area.
It's like people living, it's millions of people living in like a 20 mile area.
There is no non-densely populated area in these places.
Second of all, like Palestine, as far as I know, they're not allowed to have a military.
Like they don't, they're not allowed to have a military location that's like separate from the civilian, like there's only civilian areas in the West Bank and in Gaza.
They can't have a base or anything like that?
No.
No way.
But I mean, people think about, when they think about Israel, they literally think that it's the same one from the Bible.
They're really thinking, listen, Jesus walked for 40 days in that desert.
Just cruising for 40 days and didn't see a person except for the devil.
And these people have to put their guns around densely populated areas?
That's really the way they're thinking about this.
They're like, it has to be another way.
So yeah, this is what a progressive Zionist, they believe that like, Yeah, Israel progressively gave you an hour to get out of the building before we destroyed your home.
Yeah.
You know, in their defense, I don't think that Hamas has the technology to do those, like, small warning shots at the top of buildings.
So that is progressive, you know, with the resources they have.
I mean, we'll get into it right here.
Another headline that got shared into the Progressive Zionist Facebook group.
Failed Hamas rockets falling short in Gaza killed 17 civilians in Monday incidents before IDF airstrikes.
So that's kind of a convoluted headline, but what it is saying is it's saying that like Hamas did friendly fire in Gaza because their rockets like failed trying to get to Israel or whatever, right?
Um, Tom Launder in the progressive Zionist Facebook group, Tom Launder says, heh, heh, heh, please excuse my laughter.
So wild.
And then Yoni Patel says, as my beloved grandmother of blessed memory used to say, quote, you spit in the wind, it falls on your face.
So I'm just I'm in the progressive Zionist group, learning about civilians being killed, and I'm and I'm laughing at this progressively.
I'm laughing at civilian deaths progressively.
Even if you believe that this was negligence by Hamas or by... Killed civilians.
And it's funny because I wonder how eager the right wing or Israeli press was to call those deaths civilians versus the deaths caused by Israel.
You know, I'm pretty sure, you know, there might be different parameters towards calling victims of, you know, friendly fire from Hamas civilians as opposed to the other way around.
Yeah, there's probably steadfast rules behind that language.
Like, you can't do that.
It will be considered not, you know, slander or something.
Well, I'm sure it's like an Obama-era drone policy, where if they were of military age, then they don't count as civilians, unless it was friendly fire, and then we can make Hamas sound even worse by calling them civilians, right?
The whole comment about, oh, you spit into the wind, it falls in your face.
Yeah, joke's on you.
You killed civilians.
Yeah.
It's like, so now you are equating, like, Hamas with the entirety of the Palestinian people.
Like, there's no separation here in your mind, you know, because the whole pretense of this war, of this onslaught, is that, oh, well, Hamas are the bad guys.
We don't have anything against Palestinians.
We have something against Hamas, right?
Because they're attacking us, etc.
I mean, I can't count how many comments I've seen from people who are like, no, all of Palestine can just fall into the sea.
Like, this is a holy war.
This is a holy war and it's the only way we win.
And I mean, just look at what Israel is doing.
They're kicking Arabs out of their fucking homes.
They're further and further displacing Palestinian people indiscriminately because they're not Jewish, because they're Palestinians.
If anybody doubts what this is, which is an ethnic cleansing, you can listen or read B.B.
be Netanyahu's words himself who says things like Israel is a quote nation-state of the Jewish people and them alone it's in what's really wild the sea is exactly that it It is this, you know, people are trying to combat it being called ethnic cleansing because it's not that, but no, it is.
They're literally trying to remove one ethnicity from an area through any means necessary.
And that includes, you know, death.
And it's wild watching these people being displaced.
And like, there's that one video of the man taking over the, taking over the house, right?
Yeah.
They're conversing.
That guy's American.
Yeah.
That's how nuts this is.
He's a fucking American Jew who gets free citizenship in Israel.
Yes.
And so he comes over and gets a free house because they kicked an Arab family out of it.
That's insane.
Yeah, some guy from New York has more claim to that, according to them, has more claim to that house in that area than those people have probably been there for generations.
Yeah.
Like, the Palestinian people have been there for generations.
This guy moved from... He doesn't even have... He doesn't even... He speaks just English.
New York English.
Just... He probably moved there a couple years ago.
It's fucking crazy.
But, you know, people just, like you said, are being progressive about it.
They're laughing about it.
It's a funny thing.
Yeah, we can go to the Daily Wire comment section because it's just, it's just, these people are freaks.
Same article about Israel sharing its intel with, you know, the American government, with Joe Biden, sharing its intel about demolishing that, you know, one of many apartment residential buildings that they've destroyed in the last few days.
This one in particular, because yeah, it did house the AP offices and Al Jazeera offices.
And even after they did that, Joe Biden said that Israel has our full support and sold them $700 million more worth of weapons.
So again, I mean, it's like, how do you laugh at progressive Zionists in this Facebook group who were just reiterating the Biden policy?
Of we wholeheartedly back Israel's right to do genocide and ethnic cleansing and displacement.
Like, it sounds funny to say, oh, progressive Zionism.
That's what the Democratic Party is, by and large.
I mean, Tom Launder, he is the perfect example of that.
You know, with his profile pic, his banner, it's talking about, you know, it says, vote out the Republicans.
Vote out the Republicans, yeah.
And that's the thing, that's what progressive means.
It means that, oh, I want health care, I want access to health care maybe, I want the rich to pay their fair share for my people.
For other people, they don't even need to have access to clean drinking water.
No.
They don't even need to have access to like, you know, lines of food.
They don't need to have that kind of thing, because I'm special.
Because I am one of the chosen ones, right?
And I'm not saying that all Jews believe that, of course, but this is like...
It is a supremacy of a kind that lines up with the supremacy that is reinforced by this nation.
That's why these people go hand in hand, and that's why it has such a stranglehold over America, is because it is an imperialist project.
It's a Western imperialist project, and we love those in this country.
Yeah, we're big fans of it.
And they're all super convicted about it.
If you're really oppressive, most of them would really argue that Israel is an ancient place that has been there since biblical times and have no clue about what it really is.
But they still back what it is.
It's so bizarre.
And the thing about Hamas's rockets falling short or whatever, It also goes to the line that Hamas targets civilian areas.
Which is just, you know, Israel has crammed millions of people into one giant open-air prison, levels buildings indiscriminately, and then says, oh, well, there's bad people in those civilian areas.
That gives us the right to kill hundreds of people.
Dozens of children, right?
But that's the thing, there's no bad people in Israel.
On the other hand, Hamas fires rockets into civilian areas indiscriminately, right?
Of Israel.
I wonder if that has anything to do with the fact that Hamas does not have missile guidance systems.
Yes.
I wonder if that has anything to do with the fact that Hamas does not have targeting missiles.
Yeah, I saw some posts about it.
It was that crazy footage of the dome at work, the missile defense system thing while it's working.
And all the captions said it was like, all those explosions are $40,000 each.
It's $40,000 each, each explosion.
And there was like dozens.
Yeah, of course they don't have that.
Of course they don't have those resources.
What are you talking about?
Well, they don't have the resources even to send a missile at like a specific location.
No way.
No way.
So yeah, everybody arguing about Hamas targeting or indiscriminately firing rockets into civilian areas, you know, yeah, maybe we should give them better equipment.
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
And that's just that's another thing that I like learned like you learn you you you don't they don't tell you this like but yeah the the line is that oh Hamas is like deliberately like targeting civilians and I'm not like trying to defend Hamas who's uh overarching politics probably do not line up with mine like there was um
Somebody in a different Facebook group posted a screenshot of Hamas's politics, which are apparently far-right or whatever, saying, how do supposed leftists support this?
Support this organization?
And you could ask the same question.
How do leftists support things like universal healthcare when states like Florida exist?
States like Texas exist?
Yeah, you know they're gonna get that too, right?
And I don't know, there's a lot of evidence to support the idea that Israel deliberately helped cultivate Hamas as, you know, the same way we have deliberately helped cultivate Al-Qaeda and the Taliban in the Middle East and that it fucking backfires on us.
Go figure.
Yeah, weird.
But, in the Daily Wire comment section, they, on this article about Israel showing the smoking gun to Biden to justify their attack on the AP building, leveling the AP building, or the AP offices, the building that housed them, just some great responses.
The very fact that Israel has to share intelligence with other nations to justify its military actions is bigoted and shameful.
No other country is held to that standard.
What?
You're supposed to.
You're supposed to be able to feel good about it.
You're supposed to say, this is why we did it.
Here's the proof.
Isn't that what tribunals are for?
Israel has to get an A+, show their work, and then repeat it in front of the whole class just to justify it.
It has to work three times as hard just to carry out ethnic cleansing.
Wow, wow.
But they don't, right?
They don't.
We haven't threatened to cut off funding or anything like that.
In my lifetime, this is the most I've seen it being talked about.
This is the most I've seen people being very about pro-Palestine, free Palestine, and also being why this is bad.
Why Israel is bad.
And I've never seen it like this before, and it's wonderful to see it finally talked about this way, right?
But even with this, there are zero talk.
Like you said, Biden just got out there and supported the whole thing.
Biden just got out there and funded more of it, sold more weapons.
So who are you worried about?
Who do you think they're being held accountable by?
No one that matters.
It's just us doing hashtags.
I mean, yeah.
For the record, I'm not doing any hashtags.
That's another thing I saw in the progressive Zionist group was like, it's not fair.
It's not fair.
Look at all these people who are upset at Israel.
Like, Palestinians, they get all the sympathy.
It's not fair.
And it's like, what are you talking about?
Like, what more could you possibly fucking want?
You are mowing down Arab civilians and children, expanding your territory against UN law, right?
Breaking all the fucking accords and everything with impunity!
Getting away with it!
Yeah!
And you still have to find something to complain about.
You still have to be sad because, oh, we look like the bad guy.
Yeah, there's a way to fix that.
Stop supporting the bad guy, you know?
Yeah, it's not hard.
And like, one of the only reasons why, because this stuff happens in, you know, things like this are happening throughout the world, right?
But one of the biggest reasons we're talking about it like this, the way it is, is because we are directly involved in it.
Like, Americans are directly involved in it.
Like, the U.S.
Well, the U.S.
leadership is directly involved with it.
I wouldn't put it on the backs of, like, you know, the average American voter or taxpayer or whatever.
Yeah.
Well, because it's definitely not a thought for the average American taxpayer or voter.
I mean, saying that it's like the voters' fault for doing that is putting way too much Uh, way too much power on the act of voting.
Like, if everybody stopped voting, whoever was still elected would give money to Israel.
Like, it's not...
Very, very alienated from our government, regardless.
But yeah, like, an IDF soldier, she's gotta get up three hours early, get her hair done all nice, prepare her vegan meal, and look gorgeous while doing all that ethnic cleansing, and still doesn't get credit for it.
Ugh, I mean, imagine doing this before Facetune.
Like, it's even better.
I mean, at least we have this now.
I can take a little break on the makeup.
Uh, the idea that, um, no other military has to, like, share intelligence with their allies is, like, like, what?
Are you a baby?
Are you a child?
Like, that's the whole point of having an ally is to, like, Have somebody help you with propaganda and be like, yeah, he showed me the proof.
He showed me Osama bin Laden or whatever was in that.
We got him this time.
We actually didn't get him that other time we said, but now we got him everybody.
And then don't trust Dems replied.
They knew that Biden would want proof that propaganda outlets were rightly targeted as he needs all the propaganda he can get.
Kind of doesn't make much sense, but I think this comment will Illuminate a lot of the sentiment in the Daily Wire comment section.
If the IDF is taking out a target, there is a reason for it.
The IDF just doesn't wake up one morning and say, let's take out this building because it houses the AP.
More on that later, by the way.
I find it hard to believe that they didn't know they were sharing a building with Hamas terrorist apostrophe S.
If they did, no shame on AP.
I suppose lying corrupt quid pro king Joe was getting ready to condemn Israel.
Oh look, Israel's attacking the media, the AP building.
Corrupt quid pro asks Israel, where's the beef?
Comma the proof.
No one finds it strange that the US is the only... I asked Israel, where's the beef?
They didn't know where it was.
Um, uh, oh look Israel's attacking Bobo.
Where's the beef?
The proof.
No one finds it strange that the U.S.
is the only country that questioned Israel on downing the building that houses the AP.
Corrupt quid pro doesn't have the mental capacity to be POTUS.
Who put up corrupt quid pro to question Israel's motive for taking out the building?
Susan Rice, Bolshevik Sanders, Omar or Tlaib?
Someone had to put this into the head of corrupt quid pro.
Then again, corrupt quid pro was part of the Obama administration.
Obama hated and had a lot of disdain for Israel and was surrounded by administrators that were more or less the same.
Obama was no friend of Israel and Israel can expect the same treatment from lying corrupt quid pro King Joe.
Uh, nine up votes.
This is like, these are the psychopaths in this comment section, right?
They see Israel, uh, confirming to the Americans, yeah, we had reason to kill him.
Now go out and tell everybody it was a good, or to, uh, down the building, go out and tell everybody it was a good, it was a good, you know, assault.
And then Joe, and then Joe Biden does that.
They see this as like, oh, Israel knew that Joe Biden wouldn't believe them unless, like, why did, why did America ask for justification?
Why didn't any, why are they the, why are we the only ones who asked for justification?
It just shows you how much America hates Israel.
It's like, no, every other country, like, didn't ask for justification because there is no justification for it.
Yeah, we just needed something to say out loud to feel good about being part of it.
And I love this thing about, you know, Obama and Biden not being friends of Israel, not doing like...
If that was possible, then we wouldn't be here right now the way it is.
Like, what are you talking about?
I mean, Obama was more critical of Israel than, I think, most previous presidents during my lifetime.
Absolutely.
Yeah.
But, like, we still sent money to Israel.
Exactly.
It didn't do any good.
He didn't, like, actually, you know, give any forceful statements or anything like that.
But Benjamin Netanyahu, I think, did come to the, like...
The House floor and like talk shit on Obama at the invite of the Republicans, I believe.
That was pretty funny when that happened.
Right here, uh, wow the AP got bombed now if we can just find offices that all the other quote news organizations share with terrorists.
Okay, no it won't happen, but I can dream can't I?
There was, yeah, there was a lot of comments like this that were just like Oh, boo-hoo.
Oh, the AP got bombed.
Yeah, they're terrorists.
Good.
Done and done.
Yeah, and I love this whole thing, too, where it's, that's what they get for sharing a building with terrorists.
Oh yeah, right here.
Moral Blanketship says evidence that AP is a terrorist propaganda unit, just like CNN, MSNBC, and the rest of the media.
So, yeah, no, not only is it okay and acceptable that, you know, the AP was collateral damage, we should actually target the AP.
Because they're terrorists.
If Israel bombed their offices, then they're terrorists.
Just like, If, uh, if Israel, uh, bombed, uh, a residential building that had Hamas in it.
Oh yeah, yeah, exactly.
And, you know, there's a lot of these freaks who are just like, CNN is terrorism, you know, uh, Nancy Pelosi is a radical terrorist or whatever, and it's, like, funny to laugh at, but it's really interesting to see, like,
Actual attacks on the institutions that these people do performatively hate on social media, like the Associated Press, like any press outlet or whatever.
Yeah, it's totally acceptable for them.
It's not, like, a moment for them to sit back and say, like, okay, this is pretty wild.
Like, I talk a lot of shit on the Associated Press, but to have their offices destroyed by, like, our ally, that's kind of wild.
It switches to, it doesn't switch, it just, like, greases the rails right into, well, yeah, they are terrorists, and it's good that they were destroyed.
So, It's not that I think these people have like any power you know by virtue of their their performances on social media or anything but it's just like they are priming themselves to accept this sort of violence upon their enemy you know what I mean so if like Anybody who voted D was pulled out of their house, you know, and, and like shot in the street.
It would be like, yeah, well, they were terrorists.
I've been posting about it for years.
Didn't you know?
Like I just, it's, it's just interesting to see the actual, uh, material, like end point of what these people want happen.
And they're like, good.
They're like actually accepting of it, you know?
And this whole thing too makes it easier because they're using words like terrorism.
And this is happening in, you know, in Jerusalem, in Palestine, in a desert landscape with brown people.
So now we can make this jump even faster, right?
Yeah.
Because, oh, there probably really were terrorists and there is a real reason to blow up this building.
Whereas, like, they forget those are, you know, international entities that have buildings all throughout our country.
And, like, if that were to happen here, I think they're so fast to be like, no, that makes sense because why would you even be there?
You must be doing bad terrorism things.
Yeah, there's only so many buildings in that small of an area.
Yeah.
And, I don't know, it's just funny because, you know, an outlet like the Daily Wire, which is, if you're not familiar, that's Ben Shapiro's website.
We're talking about Ben Shapiro's website here.
They do nothing but crow about censorship, about media censorship against their, you know, their outlets, their websites, their thoughts, or whatever.
Here we have, like, One of their favorite countries, like bombing an AP office on purpose.
And they're like, yeah, good.
Like, good.
That's, there were terrorists.
They were terrorists.
Yeah.
So I don't know.
I don't, you know, I know this conversation probably sounded pretty clumsy.
This is not our expertise.
We're not foreign policy experts.
And I don't say that.
To, like, diminish our own opinions about this, because I wholeheartedly back my positions on this issue.
I think you really have to have an extreme, an extremely, like, evil ideology to not support the Palestinian people unequivocally.
I only say that because, like, You know, fumbling my way through areas of the world that I'm not familiar with is a little embarrassing, at least in terms of like geographic or bureaucratic terminology.
I'm not good at that stuff.
But to piggyback on that, those things are not as important as the blatant just human rights issues that we are seeing happen.
It's not, you know, we don't...
The names of surrounding areas and all that stuff, it's important, but this is so obvious and so blatant that that stuff, we can fumble that, because that does not take away from the fact that we just care about humans here.
Yeah.
This is a human's rights issue, and that's the bottom line.
Yeah.
So, yeah, definitely.
I'm with you there.
Moving on to perhaps a more light-hearted section of this episode.
A image came across my feed, just a startling image, just a cursed ghoulish image of a A young black man posing with two police officers.
The young black man is wearing a shirt that says, This shirt is 100% cotton.
That's why I picked it.
Goddamn.
It's not so much the shirt because I've seen this shirt before.
This is a guy who is friends with Kent State gun girl Kaitlyn Bennett.
I have seen him posing with this shirt before.
But seeing him with these two officers and the sort of huge smile and just dead eyes he has.
Is like, it's a psychotic image to see.
It's, yeah, it's unsettling.
Like this, I can't, I need to know how much this guy is making to make this all worthwhile because it is, there's no way.
There's no, I mean, this is, that's gnarly.
That, that shirt is saying like, uh, you know, slavery was cool.
That's what that shirt says.
And to wear that is, I would never want to have those conversations.
These two cops are a particular type of white cop in my mind.
It makes it even worse.
I don't know.
This is all gross and I hate it all so much.
Looking at the expression on his face, if I hadn't seen videos of this guy, I would think maybe he's being taken advantage of.
Maybe they found a guy who's like not all there and like gave him this shirt or whatever.
Uh, no, this is a, this is a Facebook guy.
This is a Facebook influencer guy, like Tony alluded to, uh, who is making a lot of money by selling shirts like this.
This is his own, this is his own shirt.
And,
I think the argument about the shirt I think like the the reason for the shirt is like I mean not the reason for it but what he would say is that this is uh it's a joke it's a joke at my expense it's a self-deprecating joke to show you that like slavery is over we can get over it it's not a big deal anymore because look at me I'm making a joke about it on my shirt
Oh, so yeah, he's saying I didn't actually pick is what he's saying.
He's just making a Picking Cotton joke to show that it's okay to like make slavery jokes now because it's it's such ancient history That it's not a big deal anymore.
Like I don't I think that's the joke.
I think you're right.
Yeah, I I can't really say what else the joke is This this is like, you know, of course like something he shared it's like copaganda to show like not all cops are bad or whatever This guy's name is Joel Patrick, okay?
And his title is The Legendary Black Redneck.
That's his title, right?
You go to his Facebook page, he's got 392,000 people following him, or 715,000 followers.
The header, the banner image is him posing in front of, yeah, his lifted Ford truck, wearing a shirt that says black, white, huge, Human.
Like, black is crossed out, white is crossed out, human is underlined.
So he's doing the whole, like, kind of like, lib, colorblind, we're all one race, we're all one, you know, people, or whatever, you know, it's the liberal, like, content of your character is what matters, kind of a thing, right?
Yeah.
And it's just funny to see the word black crossed out on his shirt when, again, his title is the legendary black redneck.
Yeah.
You gotta pick one, bud.
You gotta pick one.
Either you're black or not.
I'm sorry.
I hate to tell that to you.
We should tell him that the lane is cotton so that he picks it.
That was a terrible joke.
I like it.
Yeah, he's just doing both sides.
He's trying to present this, oh, it doesn't matter if you're black or white, right?
But then also, isn't it funny or isn't it, like, unique that I'm a black guy who sounds like your white uncle?
Mm-hmm.
And the whole thing is, I mean, first of all, legendary.
He is saying legendary in the epic way.
And I don't know, do you think you're a redneck because you drive a truck and wear American flag trucker hats?
Well, let's explore him some more, because I didn't know much about this guy.
I'd only seen him a couple times, again, like I said.
So I was just scrolling through his feed, seeing some interesting stuff.
We have a, uh, like a, like a professionally done sort of Instagram influencer type image macro where it's him again, posing in front of the lifted truck, uh, to let you know what, what like cultural background he has.
Um, and he's wearing a tree.
Uh, what is, what is, what is this called?
Like a tree.
He's like logger gear.
He's holding a chainsaw and he's got the clothing for doing logging work.
And he's got the chainsaw blade on the ground, which I don't know, probably not how you hold a chainsaw.
The text reads, some people take a single brick, learn to lay it, and build a business.
Others take a single brick, throw it through a glass window, and complain about inequality.
When he says other people, he's talking about, like, Spike Lee, right?
Yeah, exactly.
You're, I mean, the person you're talking about is a business owner.
And I don't know, do you own a logging company now?
Yeah.
Is that the thing?
Are you, are you, you own a lumber, a lumber yard or something?
Yeah.
He's got like in his info, he's got like a, like a tree, a tree servicing company or something.
It probably is like, I mean, not just, don't get me wrong, but it probably is like a tree trimming service, not like a, because this is, he's looking to look like a logger in this.
He wants to look a lot more rugged than a gardener.
I don't know, who cares if he's a logger?
Like, it doesn't make much of a difference whether he's a logger or, Joel's Professional Tree Service.
That's what the name of his company is.
I don't know what Joel's Professional Tree Service does, but.
Um, yeah, he's trying to be like a Mike Rowe type guy, right?
Yeah.
And, uh, I love this, like, dumb guy comparison.
Hey, some people take a brick, uh, and they use it to smash Deebo's face in a street brawl.
Other people take a brick and they take a single brick and start a company off of it.
This is like if your dad hands you a crisp $5 bill and says, let's see what you can do with this.
And that's how you got your start.
That's how Minion Death Cult started.
My dad gave me a single $5 bill.
And I was able to turn it into the Empire.
Tony and I were able to turn it into the Minion Death.
But it's that, but it's a brick instead.
It's like an even dumber version of that.
Have you heard that, Tony?
Do you know what I'm talking about?
Have you heard that story before?
Have you heard that parable?
Yeah, totally.
It's like that, but it's a brick.
Oh, here's a rock.
You should start a company with it.
Here's a rock.
You could use it to brain a cop, or you could use it to dominate Wall Street.
It's your choice.
And you know, because at first I was, you know, empathetic to this because, yeah, I would love to take a brick and start an empire because if I could come up on like a brick of cocaine right now, I could probably make some moves and, you know, make some money off that.
But he's made it very clear that he is not going to be speaking any type of rap vernacular.
So this is definitely like a red brick, a clay brick.
You could take this stereo system and use it to harass a girl that you slept with once and try and convince her to fall in love with you through her bedroom window.
Or you could build an electronics equipment empire with it.
Those are your choices.
I love, like, take a single brick, learn to lay it, and build a... If I put the brick down, can I have a business now, please?
Yeah, do you even have to, like, concrete that in?
Or can you just put it on the floor?
Uh, Brian Buntin said, I know I'm gonna get hate mail, but Patrick, if every guy could look through your eyes, the world would be a lot better place, sir.
What world are you living in where it's like, I know I'm going to get a hate mail from this, but you're pretty cool.
And I was shocked.
He had 41 likes.
I mean, maybe he, he probably did get a lot of hate mail in his inbox from like, you know, antifa at gmail.com.
Uh, but people in Facebook couldn't be more supportive of Brian's sentiments.
Um, I'm like, uh, Going through this kind of randomly.
Oh yeah, on the post where he was posing with police, Kenneth Hill, you'll like this Tony.
Kenneth Hill commented, Most police are good.
There are some bad ones.
Sheriff broke into my home.
No wants.
No warrants.
Threw me in jail for the night.
Searched my house for 45 minutes.
Tasered me three times after they broke in.
After they threw me out of my house on January 10, 2008, City of Redlands Police stole my truck, my 2002 Dodge Ram 1500 4x.
What's this person's name again?
in Honolulu trying to goad me into striking them dot dot dot dot.
Also have a cop here in Waikiki give me $20 once.
Female cop at that dot dot dot dot.
Angry emoji, skull and crossbones emoji, cool guy emoji, praying hands emoji, eyes emoji, finger pointing to the right emoji.
What's this person's name again?
Kenneth Hill.
Okay, I was wondering because I do know a guy who used to be pretty rowdy around these parts and now lives in Hawaii.
So I was wondering if it was going to be him.
And he's been on some pro cop shit even though he has the same thing.
Where it's like, what are you talking about dude?
You told me about how you got beat up all the time by him and now you like him for some reason?
Most cops are good.
Now here's seven stories about cops tasering me.
In his defense, most cops that exist were not there at the time.
Most cops are good, however I was arrested and imprisoned for no cause and tasered three times.
Now real quick, did he say he got in trouble in the end or he just said he got searched?
He said he got thrown in jail and tasered three times, dude.
That sounds like trouble.
Like maybe he didn't get any actual charges.
That still sounds like trouble.
Yeah.
It sounds awful.
And he's like, no warning and just totally abused and violated your everything.
And you're cool with it.
Uh, I don't, I can't.
Tony, Tony, Tony.
Uh, I can't read this comment.
I don't think.
You don't want to send it to me.
Uh, I don't even think you're gonna want to read it, dude.
I'll send it to you and then we can struggle through it together.
I'm gonna, I'm gonna text it to you.
Cool.
Should get it right now.
Yep.
Oh no!
Oh no!
Oh, Candace.
That's not even what the shirt says.
The shirt starts saying.
Are you going to read it?
This is the best version of this type of comment I've ever heard.
It says, I love your shirt, laughing crying emoji.
I got some cotton pickers in my family too.
I love your senti-humor, like loving emoji.
Candace is also a top fan, is not black, but this is the best version of I have a black friend or I have a black family, is calling them the slur.
That's...
That's...
Wow. - No.
I love it.
And I wonder how he felt reading that one.
He was like, oh, that's not quite the... okay, yeah, we're good.
Dude, if he gets any bigger, it's just going to be the Dave Chappelle phenomenon.
on.
Where, like, white people are just gonna walk up to him and scream that slur in his face.
And be like, oh, yeah.
He DM'd Candace right after this.
What am I talking about?
Um this is what like the overwhelming response like not a lot of people acknowledged the shirt even though he does have the shirt on sale uh in on his web store which we'll get to in a second but not a lot of people like acknowledged the shirt he was wearing they just like stuck to you know the issues of like he's posing with cops saying cops are good like i co-sign i'm i'm inviting cops to the cookout you know um and that's kind of what people focused on but
A few people did see his shirt and the people who saw and like read his shirt like their eyes, you know The people who didn't have cataracts right were able to read his shirt and they were like That's a fucked up sense of humor.
And that's why I love you, bro And it's like, like, oh yeah, your sense of humor gets you into trouble just like me.
And it's like, you're just like saying the N word.
I don't think that that's a joke, you know?
And that's, it's that meme, which is just like, yeah, I got a pretty edgy, I got a pretty dark sense of humor.
And then it's just racism.
It's just like racist, like corny racism.
Yeah.
It's just, you know, it's, it's, it's a comedian.
That's what, that's a comedian, right?
Yeah.
And again, it's just like, like, wearing a shirt that's like... I don't, I don't even know what the equivalent of this would, like... Yeah, I, I can't, I can't think of it.
Like, I'm trying to, like, find, find another joke that you could, quote, joke that you could make with like a, you know, anti-black slur or whatever, like...
You are just saying, like, oh, it's okay to, like, call me, uh, say- make, like, picking co- cotton comments around me.
Because I'm cool.
Like, I'm- I'm one of the cool ones.
I think that's all it is.
Oh, and he's so not cool.
I think he's pretty cool.
He's such a- he's such a ne- I'm- I'm scrolling through the rest of the shirts, I forgot about some of them.
He's such a nerd.
He's such a fucking nerd.
Uh, yeah, let's do these shirts real quick, and then I want to get to a video that he posted, which is pretty good.
This is like... It's like a cross between Hot Topic and, like, the generic Hot Topic shirts about hearing voices that don't like you, and Christian parody t-shirts.
It's like somewhere in between there like the top the top shirts are it's okay to be white and then if I agreed with you then we'd both be wrong like those are the first two shirts right so it's like that generic like don't talk to me until I've had my coffee type of shirt with uh right next to like white nationalist propaganda What's what's wild about this too.
It's not because you're thinking that these are all gonna be like Look at you can be a black conservative but a lot of these shirts are like straight pro white shirts like the next ones white says white privilege with the definition of it and It's just like that's that doesn't serve you at all Joel.
What do you what I?
Guess he knows his demographic is really what it is, but it's just like that's that's That's nuts.
Well, it's like this one says, I would slap you, but I don't want to get stupid on my hand.
This other one says, I like big trucks and I cannot lie.
Yeah.
This one says, enjoy capitalism in the Coca-Cola font.
So yeah, it's just like, like what if Jesus pieces?
What if this, what if this candy wrapper said Jesus on it instead?
And some of them too are other shirts that we've seen from other companies that just have his signature on the bottom, which I really love.
My favorite combination were these are side by side, these two shirts on sale.
The one on the left says, I am not oppressed.
And then the one on the right, different shirt says, don't tread on me with the Gadsden snake.
And it's beautiful juxtaposition of these two shirts.
You know, you'd say, well, why do you need the don't tread on me flag if you're not oppressed?
Like no one's trying to tread on you if you're not oppressed.
And then you realize that no, only black people are supposed to wear the I am not oppressed shirt.
Yeah, yeah.
There are some caveats to these shirt purchases.
So you have to either be black to buy that shirt, or you buy it for your black friend, by which I mean Joel Patrick.
You send it to his P.O.
box.
Yeah.
I am going to get the one that says, brown skin, but I lean right.
What?
Those two opposite things, brown and right.
Yeah, you know, you never see this coming, but here we go.
But I do love, like, who's buying the I Am Not Oppressed shirt?
That's got to be, like, the, like, one of the least sellers out of all of this.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
Because, like, I don't see a lot of them selling.
There's, like, no way some of these.
He's got, like, an overwhelmingly white fan base.
I didn't see one black commentator in all of this.
No.
Like are white people gonna buy this shirt and be like, well, it's for like black people.
I'm wearing it because this is like a black guy who said it.
What's funny too is there's another one that says, it's okay to be black.
It's on the last page of the t-shirts.
The first, the very first shirt that's on sale is the it's okay to be white shirt.
Yeah.
Like second to last shirt on sale is the it's okay to be black shirt.
I do.
I do want to see like a white person by this one and then get misread by people like, well, hold on.
What are you saying?
Are you saying?
I don't know if it is.
Okay.
I don't know.
I actually don't know if that's cool.
You know, they, you know, they don't build, build businesses on a brick, right?
So let me play this video from Joel Patrick.
I don't know.
I don't know if Tony's heard it yet.
This video's titled, THIS POLICE OFFICER SAVED MY LIFE!
And the video is, like, the, it starts with a shot of his, uh, side mirror.
And in the side mirror of his truck, you can see, uh, a cop who has pulled him over in the shoulder.
This isn't what it looks like and I'm about to tell you why.
I'm on my way to get some new climbing spikes because I climb trees.
I'm here with Trooper Hang who literally just saved my life.
I'm very grateful for him.
I'm in Colfax, North Carolina right now and I just had an officer save my life because I took a wrong turn down a exit ramp.
What?
Because I was following the GPS and ended up going into oncoming traffic.
Heading into oncoming traffic on a highway where the speed limit was probably 70 miles an hour.
He looks like he's gonna cry.
He saw me coming towards him, hit his lights, and came directly towards me to make me stop.
And I stopped before entering into traffic.
What?
He didn't know what race I was.
He put himself in harm's way to make sure that I didn't put myself and a lot of other people in harm's way.
And he did it without thinking.
He did it quickly.
He did it professionally.
He explained to me the situation because obviously I realized once I saw him coming towards me, I was like, he's going the wrong.
Oh, wait, I'm going the wrong way.
And that's how, and I mean, you know, he did, he doesn't say this as far as I know in the video, but that's a good metaphor.
When you see a cop coming towards you, you know, you're going the wrong way in life.
That's true.
I do love that.
He didn't know what race I was.
He didn't look to see what race I was before he stopped me from heading onto oncoming traffic.
He only cared about my life.
Stopped me from entering an exit ramp?
What?
I mean, again, Joel Patrick is driving a giant lifted orange Ford truck.
So, I mean, maybe the officer, like, did think, you know, he was white.
I think he felt pretty good about him being white actually, yeah.
The perception that the media would have you believe is that the police are out here and that they don't care about anything and that they're just out here killing black people.
And that is completely and totally false.
I am very thankful that God put that police officer in that place at that time.
The irony is if this dude had entered oncoming traffic, he would have killed like 12 different people in his truck.
- The irony is if this dude had entered oncoming traffic, he would have killed like 12 different people in his truck. - Oh yeah, easily, easily.
And also, if you would have, maybe if you didn't have your front window tinted and you know, maybe we're driving a different car and he might have assumed you were, he might not have pulled you over.
This is what I'm talking about.
It's, uh, you know, he's riding this lifted truck, 35 inch rims, you know, crazy paint job on it.
The cop saw him and was like, oh, this is one of our own because race doesn't matter.
It's about class.
Yeah.
He knew that this motherfucker could afford this stupid ass truck.
No, I'm just kidding.
Yeah, I don't know.
I really think that's funny.
I was banging my head into a wall for fun and a police officer came and he didn't care what color I was.
He put his hand in front of my forehead and stopped me from hitting the wall.
He didn't think twice about it.
Imagine admitting to people that you are like a dumbass and weren't paying attention to what you were doing and just following the GPS like that joke from The Office and just went onto the exit of a freeway.
Yeah, I mean, it happens.
It can happen to people.
But also, I think you usually realize what's going on.
You don't just keep driving into oncoming traffic.
Why is every other person going the wrong way?
I mean, he's so lucky the timing was that.
The odds of that cop being there is pretty wild.
I mean, you should be grateful.
But it's not, for what, it's not happening, what you think is happening here is not what's happening.
Because you're like, doesn't he realize that he's stoked that he, he's saying, look it, I got pulled over, I didn't get murdered.
Doesn't he realize that it's weird that you have to observe that?
Yeah well he's just he gets pulled over a lot apparently according to like the first you know 10 videos I watched is a lot of him like talking about how how cool the cops were that put that pulled him over or whatever and didn't kill him.
I think he's trying to like establish like he's trying to single-handedly change the change the numbers or something.
The final thing I want to talk about with Joel Patrick is I didn't know this.
I thought he was just a Facebook guy.
I thought he was like a drop ship merch type guy.
You know, aren't you triggered type merchandise mixed with a sort of like wine mom aesthetic.
Apparently he is a verified artist on Spotify.
Absolutely.
I didn't know this.
I think maybe we should go I want to play a few of his songs here.
I think That's Me, which is his top song, which does have over a million views, is the one I want to play first.
It's pretty good, I think.
It's something.
I'm a legendary black redneck.
Oh, make that bass drop!
Brown skin, but I lean right.
Uncle Tom, cause I act white.
Growth 2A, that's Sky Wright.
You can say what you want, I don't give a care Still cruising down the road with my flag in the air In my big orange truck with the King Ranch trim Cruising around the city in my 35-inch rims I'm country, not because I'm a skin It's not about what you are, it's from within I'm country, that's what I want to be, yeah
Because that's me Cowboy hat with boots to match I got some Wranglers too So it's just, on first glance this, he's just like "Hey, I can, I'm white too," right?
Like I, I do all these things that you guys love.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But it's funny to hear him say, like, this is, this is a novel thing.
This is like a cool thing that I'm doing.
What if a black guy, uh, Worked in the South.
Wouldn't that be crazy?
What if there were black people in the South?
Wouldn't that be crazy?
Wouldn't that be nuts?
They had jobs and stuff.
And they worked the land.
Like rednecks.
Wouldn't that be crazy?
In the South?
I don't know.
I don't know about that.
I don't know if that's possible.
Do you think he was radicalized by hearing Aaron Lewis?
That's what it sounds like to me.
I also think it's funny that it's like, he's doing like an auto-tuned trap beat type thing.
It's just funny that like...
The right wing and country, you know, performative, like white Southern culture or whatever has been, uh, you know, obviously very anti-rap, anti, uh, black culture, you know, when, uh, what, when rap starts, it's like, oh, they can't, they can't sing.
They just, they just rap or like they sample other people's music or whatever, instead of like, you know, they, they, it's like rap steals other people's music.
Um, Then when autotune came around it's like oh you know it's a it's a different crutch can't can't sing or whatever and now it's just like all of that stuff is being used by conservative like white people or weird performative country people like this who genuinely like can't even write lyrics like not only can they not sing or you know play instruments or whatever everything that they were accusing you know rap culture of
They just, they can't even like, they can't even write a song.
Period.
The way he says Wranglers, Wranglers 2.
And what's funny is we know that lyric can sound good because we heard Lil Nas X do that exact lyric.
Like, that lyric was good.
He said, I got the Wranglers on my booty, or I think that's what he says.
And like, I don't know, Lil Nas X made it sound cool.
Like, this guy sucks so bad.
Also want to point out, I really love the lyric about how he has the truck with the King Ranch trim.
I don't even know what that is.
Well, you'll just see like a big Ford truck that looks a little bit nicer and has a big badge on the side of it that says King Ranch.
It's like the Eddie Bauer package.
But his truck has a lot of unique characteristics and that's not one of them.
It does not have the King Ranch trim.
Interesting call.
It's frontin'.
Full of shit.
That's cap.
That's all-cap.
That is absolutely all-cap.
It's not rap-cap, it's country-cap.
Yeah, pretty shitty.
Sucks so bad.
Let's hear another one of his songs.
I'm the legendary Black Ripper.
Now I'm gonna need y'all to get on your feet for this one.
I love that.
Oh, no.
So this is rap.
I'm rapping, but I'm going to pronounce, put your hands up, make your body.
jump to the front and dive in the river now put your hands up and make your body wiggle okay i love that oh no i so this is rap i'm rapping but i'm gonna pronounce put your hands up make your body i gotta pronounce it a certain way so these people aren't afraid to listen to it the way he says that is insane Where did he come from out of nowhere?
You heard him talk earlier.
He doesn't have an accent.
Yeah.
But he got real twangy on that one.
*Music*
*Music* I love these Wave Race adlibs.
Oh, they're so good!
Wave Race is perfect!
Hey, you got it!
You're doing great!
Alright!
This is supposed to be like a TikTok dance song, it feels like, you know?
It's gonna be a TikTok dance song, it's gonna go mad viral, but it sounds like a really bad version of the Cha-Cha Slide.
Oh yeah, it like makes no sense.
Now spin around and put your hands up.
Dive in the river.
Like I'm picturing just like that mom I saw at the Bruce Springsteen concert whose just arms are like kind of waving around in like a sort of dreamy fashion.
Like that is all you're supposed to do to this song.
The way he says, spin around and around till you get dizzy.
So is that like four beats?
How many measures is that?
It depends.
It depends on your equilibrium, you know?
You might have an in-ear thing, it might be very fast for you.
Oh man, yeah.
Last song I wanted to play from Joel Patrick here.
I think it's his best.
It's his newest release, and it floored me, to be honest.
Yeah, yeah. yeah.
Little ones to him belong.
They are weak, but he is strong.
Jesus loves me still today.
Insane.
Walking with me on my way.
You got it.
Shades of skin from dark to light.
That's right.
All our precious in his sight.
When I can't breathe, you gave me breath.
You gave me life, but I chose death.
Dropped to my knees as I cried to you.
You're the only one that can pull me through.
When we pump our fists and we fight about race.
You took our sin and gave us grace.
You stay strong when we cannot.
We need to be still and know you are God.
He loves you more than you'll ever know.
The rhyme of got with God is really good.
Mm-hmm.
I can't believe that that intro, that hook verse, goes for as long as it does.
Yeah, it does like two.
There's like two stanzas of him singing, Jesus loves me this I know.
I love that it's like the A bizarro version of Nu Metal, how they would do like a children's rhyme to sound creepy.
You know, like, now I lay me down to sleep.
Yeah, yeah.
Or whatever.
But it's just, it's still creepy, but it's unintentional.
Yeah, it's real weird.
Jesus loves me, this I know.
Little sprinkler hi-hats in there.
I do love the producer drop.
He's like, what do you say, something, on the bass drum.
It's like, what, are you, is he producing all his own stuff too?
Dude, he's, I think he's saying bass trump.
No.
Yeah, I think that's what he's saying, dude.
You might, you might be onto something.
Let's listen to it again.
Okay, it's drumming that one.
Let's listen to That's Me again.
I don't know, maybe I'm projecting.
Maybe he's just saying bass drop or bass drum or something.
He's saying like oh with the bass drum and I don't understand it because these are not bass heavy songs and they really could be he could throw some 808s in that bitch and it'd be fine but like he's just not I don't know why he's claiming bass whatever I hate it all it's so bad I think it's cool I mean it's like I, I, listen, I would listen to rap.
I would listen to rap if it weren't all about, like, sacrificing children to the devil, or if it was, um, you know, like, uh, murdering suburban housewives.
Like, I would love it, but it's all just like that, and now finally, yes, okay, yes, like, let's get a, let's get a cover of DC Talk's Jesus Freak in trap form.
You don't realize how strong the Jesus angle for him is until you look at his shirts and hear that song.
It's a whole thing.
And what was that opening verse?
It was nothing.
He didn't say, you love us and give us strength and all this stuff.
It's like, what are you talking about?
Bars.
Just bars.
Our God is an awesome God.
He reigns from heaven above with wisdom, power, love.
Uh, yeah.
So that's, that's Joel Patrick.
Uh, isn't it crazy that a, that a black guy is from the South?
Uh, yeah, it's weird.
It's unique.
Finally, there's something for that part of the culture war, uh, and hip hop.
So, I mean, you know, maybe, maybe there's something to this guy, you know?
Man, you know what sucks?
He looks like somebody I know and I can't wait to show them this person.
Don't do that.
They're gonna hate it.

I've been hurting fucked up too many years ago.
Hoping I could come up quick along the broken road.
I hustled and found a plug from the extra show me love.
Now I'm flexing in a wreck.
They hating on me too.
And every sleepless night led me to where I am.
Bitches that broke my heart.
They became hoes at scam.
Show me a better way.
Promise I'll quit this game.
This much I know it's true.
I came up and so could you.
And fuck the boys in blue.
Fuck them all.
Fuck 12, fuck 12.
Fuck twelve, fuck twelve Blowing money, act a fool.
Who gets my proof?
Brought my niggas, put them on.
I promise I won't lose.
While hustling, found a plug.
From the extra, show me love.
Now I'm flexing in a rack.
They hating on me too.
And every sleepless night led me to where I am.
Bitches that broke my heart, they became hoes I scammed.
Show me a better way.
Promise I'll quit this game.
This much I know it's true.
