The Vaxman Collects (The Ballad of Phil Valentine)
This week we follow up on the story of Phil Valentine, a right-wing talk radio host, covid skeptic, and author of the Beatles parody "Vaxman," who died of Coronavirus on saturday Additionally, another republican lawmaker loses his wife to the virus, still attends anti-vaccine rallies, and posts about the haters on facebook Is there anything to be gained from these people's tragedies? Can they be used as cautionary tales? Either way, their social media pages are wild. Music: Unwound - Corpse Pose
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 you're in the middle of the stormy desert.
All there in Barbados, stay tuned.
I'm Alexander Edward.
And I'm Tony Boswell.
And we are Minion Death Cult.
The world is ending.
The Vax Man is responsible.
We're documenting it.
What's up everybody?
It's your show for the week.
I just wanted to do a recap of a subject we covered a couple weeks ago on, I believe it was the Patreon feed.
So, not everybody... I believe so.
has heard the first episode, but I think you'll get the gist of it when I make the announcement that Phil Valentine, right-wing radio host, COVID skeptic, and author of the Beatles parody song Vaxman, did die yesterday, August 21st, of coronavirus.
Yes.
Yeah.
It happened.
It happened in real time.
We saw it.
We called it.
It's real shit.
The family of Phil, while he was, you know, we did that episode on Phil when he was, I think, on a ventilator.
He was still hospitalized and, you know, his family was saying, oh, well, he was, um, he was never anti-vax.
He just wrote that parody song criticizing the vax man, you know, for fun.
Let me tell you how it will be.
And I don't care if you agree.
Cause I'm the Vaxman.
Yeah, I'm the Vaxman.
Because he was a critical thinker, and he can't wait to recover so that he can be pro-VAX.
He can be vocally pro-VAX once he recovers.
And that, you know, I heard that and I was like, oh, he's dead.
Like, he's gonna die for sure if they're putting those words in his mouth.
And yeah, I think it's safe to say that the VAX man got him.
I think the Vaxman came to collect.
The family, of course, trying to pin this on coronavirus or, you know, infectious disease, that sort of thing.
I think it's pretty obvious that he was likely infected by the Vaxman himself, you know, in retaliation for the wonderful Beatles parody that Phil did.
Or possibly by a couple teenage girls who were inspired by the Vaxman, you know.
Acolytes, if you will.
One of those two seem to be the most, I don't know, possible option to me.
Yeah, I mean I did see some girls drawing pictures of the Vax Man all over.
They keep on, that's all they're drawing, that's all they're talking about.
It's really interesting.
This one, it was interesting news because it was one of those, oh this shit's real, because You know, the day before that, my mom called to let me know that my cousin, my cop cousin got coronavirus, is now sick with COVID-19.
Okay.
And I just, like, lost my shit.
I just laughed super hard.
I couldn't help it.
Even mom thought I understood why this is funny.
And then I was like, oh yeah, people actually die from this.
Yeah, isn't that cop cousin, uh, doesn't he work in a jail?
Yeah, he works in a jail.
Yeah, that's exactly where he got it.
That's exactly where he spread it.
He's probably gonna go back to work while he's still contagious.
While he still, like, has it.
So, good stuff.
Uh, reading from this article here, uh, I think, I believe it was a Newsweek.
Tennessee Governor, because Tennessee is the state that Phil Valentine, uh, you know, worked as a popular right-wing radio host, um, Tennessee Governor Bill Lee and Senator Marsha Blackburn released statements honoring Valentine on Saturday afternoon.
Quote, Phil Valentine was a visionary for the conservative movement.
He saw a bright future for us full of parodies?
Just, you know, really wanted to explore the arts.
I think if there's anybody who understood what it meant to be a conservative and the way the conservative movement is going to go in the next couple years, it was definitely Phil Valentine, who died of a preventable disease while trying to own the lips.
Yeah, he really lived it, you know?
He really lived it.
He died it.
He made an enormous impact on the lives of many Tennesseans.
As an esteemed radio host, actor, and author, Blackburn wrote, it was a privilege to know Phil, and I know his legacy will endure.
And we are, at Minion Death Cult, trying to help it endure.
Trying to make sure people understand Phil Valentine's legacy.
And then I have a quote here from the, a comment rather, from the Supertalk 99.7 Facebook post announcing Phil Valentine's death.
Kristen Browning comments, as a client, oh they had to like restrict comments on all of these posts that they did, for obvious reasons.
Kristen Browning says, is a closet millennial.
I used to have people turn their heads at me when I said I listened to talk radio all workday long.
There's a closet millennial.
Yeah.
She's wearing like old age makeup to work.
Yeah.
People think she's from a good generation.
She wears that old that like latex old lady face.
Yeah, like the one in that TV show that everybody likes.
Yeah.
Yeah.
She just wants...
I'm fairly certain I drove my friends crazy when we would have a discussion and I'd make my point by saying, well I was listening to Phil Valentine and he said dot dot dot dot dot.
Hearing the words global warming will always make me think, quote, it's the sun, stupid!
So hold on, that's a Phil Valentine classic then?
Yeah, that's part of the legacy that Marsha Blackburn was talking about.
Wow, that's good stuff.
It's not global warming, it's the sun, baby!
So if you were already like, wow, what a cool guy spreading dangerous misinformation about a public health crisis, also denying global warming, laughing at the idea of global warming.
Also, does he think anyone's saying it's not the sun?
Does he think that we think it's from another, like, heat source?
He thinks, like, the global warming conspiracy is that the Earth is, like, warming itself.
Ah, yeah, yeah.
He's, like, running around trying to inform the public that, no, it's the sun!
It's that thing up there!
That's what's doing it!
We gotta get that!
We gotta destroy that!
We gotta destroy the sun!
Uh, my heart, she goes on.
My heart is with all of those who have a fill-shaped hole in their hearts daily.
Especially his family.
And yeah, I would like to pay tribute to Phil Valentine, everybody who has a Phil-shaped hole in their heart, by doing one last rendition of Vax Man.
Oh, hell yeah.
Written by Phil Valentine.
Here it is.
Let me tell you how it will be.
And I don't care if you agree Cause I'm the Vaxman I'm the Vaxman If you don't like me coming round I'm thankful I don't hold you
I'm the Vax man I'm the Vax man It's incredible Try to cry I'll block your tweet if you ask me why.
I'll block your street if you try to fly.
Block your flight if you try to lie.
I'll take your rights.
X-Men.
Miss you, Phil.
Wow.
Wow.
I think that we need to make sure that the family hears that by itself.
Thank you.
Like just, we need to send them just, because that was... They will, there will be a room full of people weeping.
It felt good, you know.
That was beautiful.
I haven't played in a while, haven't sang in a while.
It was nice to, you know, dust the cobwebs off the old ivory keys and I don't know, do it for a good cause, you know, instead of just for entertainment or, you know, fun.
Do it for something meaningful.
It felt raw, it felt good.
It reminded me of like, you know, of Johnny Cash, late Johnny, you know, late in life Johnny Cash stuff.
Thank you.
So, on this theme of people dying from coronavirus, We have a Maine lawmaker whose wife just died of coronavirus who attended an anti-vax rally.
And again, this is Maine.
Chris Johanson, who has been a fierce opponent of pandemic restrictions, joined a rally at which a colleague compared the governor to a Nazi.
Just real quick, just to clarify in case people think they misheard that.
The man's wife died and then he proceeded to later on, like the next week, go to an anti-vax rally.
A Republican legislator in Maine who lost his wife to COVID-19 last week appeared at a rally on Tuesday that featured a GOP colleague who compared the state's Democratic governor to a Nazi doctor who performed deadly experiments on Jews during the Holocaust.
State Representative Chris Johansson, who emerged in the early days of the pandemic as a fierce opponent of public health-related restrictions, joined a group of lawmakers at the event in Augusta.
State Representative Heidi Sampson delivered a speech to the crowd that baselessly accused Governor Janet Mills, who has introduced a vaccine mandate for health care workers, of operating a government campaign to test experimental vaccines on unknowing citizens.
What this this is awesome, this is so I probably wouldn't go to any rallies a week after my wife died.
But then again, I would probably care about my hypothetical wife.
I would probably encourage her to get the vaccine.
I would probably do the same myself, both to ensure my health and the health of the people I love around me.
Yeah, absolutely.
It's terrifying.
What an idiot.
His wife also worked for the Republican Party of Maine.
Their Facebook pages are both still up and they're crazy.
The news of his wife Cindy contracting coronavirus, I think, first came up with this Facebook post on July 16th.
Which is, day three, dot dot dot, feeling like I'm going to pass out, have passed out on garage floor, legs were like rubber, got to get me some ginger ale, dot dot dot.
I know that feel.
I know that feel, sis.
That's, you know, sometimes the ginger ale's the only thing that's gonna help you out there.
I know that.
That's a grandma move.
That's definitely made me feel better as a kid.
Maybe she never got the ginger ale and that's why her condition worsened.
We don't know.
Sounds like it.
The next post was five days later.
It's absolutely horrible to be alone and it's only going on day three.
That's not the math there.
There were two days where she was still spreading the coronavirus to other people before somebody finally managed to convince her not to cough on anybody.
It's absolutely horrible to be alone.
So remember, we're covering this person's husband.
And even if you're quarantined, I don't think she's in a room quarantined.
I think that he can still be around the house.
And even if he's going to work over these three days, for her to feel like alone says a lot about them and their relationship.
Sure.
Yeah, I think he was still going and doing things, and yeah, spreading coronavirus across the great state or commonwealth of Maine, whatever they call it over there.
And yeah, it is horrible to be alone.
That's why you should take precautions not to contract a disease that requires you to be alone.
Yeah, and then, you know, you leave your spouse alone when you die.
The last post on Cyndi Johansson's page is from the same day, July 21st.
It says, you have no idea how much I miss this.
And it's a photograph of the sunset.
Wow.
Yes, Cyndi is missing every sunset moving forward because she's passed away.
Well no, now Cyndi is the sunset.
Now I see Cyndi when I look at the sunset.
I don't think he feels that way.
He probably is not thinking that at all.
Yeah, it's very weird to be reading Facebook posts from, like, recently deceased people.
You know, we've done it on the show before.
It's pretty fucked up, you know?
It's, like, not something that's overly funny.
Like, it is one of those things where it's just, like, bizarre and you maybe have to laugh at it to cope with it, but...
It's just wild.
It's just wild to see these people denying it as they're dying.
Yeah.
Janine commented, have you found out what you have?
And Cindy replies, COVID and asthma.
Uh-huh.
I got diagnosed with COVID and asthma.
Like, even as she has to acknowledge that she has COVID, she has to add asthma so that people know it's the asthma that's dangerous on top of the COVID, you know?
The death certificate probably says COVID when it should say asthma.
Oh, but no, it says complications of COVID-19.
So it's not direct, you know?
Cindy, a different Cindy, says, was told by a wise doctor to start taking these vitamins, B, C, K, D, and Zinc.
Will be praying for a speedy recovery.
That's what doctors are prescribing for COVID patients.
Yeah, a wise doctor.
A wise doctor.
Only the wise doctors are prescribing vitamin K for people with coronavirus.
Yeah.
Just, yeah, typing in Hollywood Upstairs Medical College and looking at their alumni, trying to find a wise doctor to tell me, like, yeah, to sprinkle some salt under my pillow before I go to bed to cure up this coronavirus thing.
And that's what they said.
Cindy said, excuse me, doctor, could you maybe tell me to take vitamins B, C, K, D, and Zinc?
Can you do that?
And he goes, of course I can.
You should do that.
Yeah.
Then it's done and done.
Fifty bucks, friend.
Janine says, hope you are feeling better.
Did you get the vaccine?
A neighbor here had the vaccine and she has COVID.
Not as bad as it could be, but still gets it.
Take care.
And then the Cindy in question here, the original poster, Cindy says, no vax.
That's one comment, no vax.
And then the next comment is CDZing.
Which I think refers to the vitamins C, D, and Zinc.
C-D-Z-ing, I'm assuming?
To do it?
Yeah, it's now like a verb.
That makes sense, yeah.
I'm sure, yeah, it became a verb in this community.
They used that phrase so much.
You're C-D-Z-ing, right?
You're doing that?
I know I am.
Brian Field said in one of these comment sections on Cindy's Facebook, Was told by an experienced RN who travels and has had COVID twice that recommends NyQuil Extreme Flu and Gatorade and just sleep as much as you can.
I mean I don't I don't know I'm gonna even if that's true it sounds like the RN who's traveling and got COVID twice a week and recommends that was probably like a pretty fit person then I'm gonna assume that this person's probably pretty fit um I don't think that's like Sydney's case here I don't think Sydney's like Can we cure anything with Gatorade?
It's too late for Sydney here, okay?
This is just insulting, Brian.
I just love that.
He's an experienced RN who travels a lot during the pandemic and has gotten coronavirus twice, and this is his advice.
This is the advice from a good source.
The Travelin' RN.
I just met somebody who got Corona twice because they were basically a traveling RN.
And their recommendation was like, don't get it.
Do everything in your power not to get it.
Get vaccinated.
Wear your mask everywhere after you get vaccinated.
And gave me the spiel that anybody with, you know, any practical person would give.
But, you know, this guy got COVID twice and, you know, Yeah, micro extreme flu really did it.
Now when you say traveling RN, Tony, do you mean like a Doctors Without Borders RN?
Like somebody who's traveling to treat people?
Yeah.
Okay, I don't think that's what this person is saying.
Me neither.
Because they're saying an experienced RN who travels.
Yeah, that's true.
That's absolutely true.
Yeah, I didn't really put that together.
So I'm thinking like, yeah, he's going to Vegas, he's partying all day, and then he's taking NyQuil Extreme Flu and pounding Gatorade and passing out for 12 hours, and then waking up again the next morning to go lick some slot machines.
Yep.
Yep.
And then, you know, then go to work.
Cindy Roberts says, this was, yeah, she says, To all you losers who laugh, bet you won't feel that way when you're sick.
Bet you all would run from your burning home without seeing if your family was safe before sitting and enjoying a laugh while roasting marshmallows.
Took a wild turn in the end there.
Like, you think it's funny this person who was anti-vaccine got sick, but you'd probably roast marshmallows on your family's burning courses.
That's a parallel.
You're laughing at this person who encouraged other people to get sick.
You're laughing at them getting sick.
What if you got sick?
You wouldn't like that very much.
It's like, oh shit, I didn't think about that.
Oh wait, yeah I did, because I got the vaccine.
That's why, yeah, I did that actually.
I admit, I will be the bigger person and admit that I won't like being sick if I get the coronavirus.
Not a fan of being sick.
Being sick, getting sick, absolutely.
Like, with a Q, we do that all the time, but I don't ever want to be sick.
Like, I can't get that.
I don't have health insurance like that.
And then, yeah, Felicia under the post with the sunset.
Felicia says, now Cindy is part of this beautiful sky.
Fly high.
Fly high.
Dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot.
I love how that's like, and it's funny because this is left on Cindy's page.
But because Cindy's now dead, it is not addressed to Cindy anymore.
It is now addressed to... Thank you, Felicia.
Yeah, well, there's one consolation.
Sidney is that JPEG now.
And yeah, Cindy's profile photo still says, the Facebook profile picture still has the frame that says, I don't care if you've had your vaccine.
Something I would like to point out, I just realized this, and it's a horse.
It's a picture of a horse, which I thought was interesting until I realized that Felicia is also a horse.
Felicia's profile picture is also a horse, and it says love underneath it.
So these are also like, I don't know, these are horse people.
Yeah.
These are horse ladies.
Horse girls stick together until one of them dies from a preventable disease.
Becomes the sky.
Yeah.
We don't like to say die, we like to say becomes the sky.
They definitely tried to take that, like, horse medicine, right?
Absolutely.
They just had some anyways, so... They just had it on hand.
Or they have a plug.
They for sure have a horse medicine plug.
But they, like, got the wrong horse medicine and just, like, got lost in a k-hole for a while.
That's... I mean, shit.
There's worse ways to go.
Um...
And then yeah, so that was Cindy's Facebook, just like really bleak stuff.
Here's her husband's Facebook page, Chris Johanson, who is still posting.
This post is from 15 hours ago.
He posts, this is again, the main lawmaker, the main Republican lawmaker.
I have a hard time understanding these haters.
My address is public if you really want to hurt me, come here and physically hurt me.
My wife Cindy was reluctant to get the vaccine because of all the conflicting information we have been getting from day one.
To the haters out there, have none of you seen my picture at the Capitol on January 6th?
You were a pretty tame bunch.
I was sure you could hate me for many more reasons if you really knew me, so check the video.
If you know what you're looking for, I'm not hard to find.
No, you guys don't understand what a piece of shit I really am.
Like, you're not giving me enough credit here.
I read this wrong when I screenshotted this post 30 minutes ago.
It's better than you thought?
I thought he said to the haters out there...
None of you have seen my picture at the Capitol on January 6th.
Like, he didn't actually go to the Capitol insurrection or whatever.
That's not what he's saying.
Nope.
He's saying, I'm gonna do the same thing to you that I did to that velvet rope at the Capitol building.
He's saying, no, no, there is a picture and you haven't seen it clearly, because if you had seen it, you wouldn't be pressing me.
I also just love the idea of being like, all these haters talking about my dead wife.
Fucking haters.
It's so insane.
These people are so fucked.
They have a disease of another kind.
A disease of the mind.
Absolutely.
For a fucking week after your wife dies to be on Facebook posting about the haters.
The haters?
I just love it, too.
You guys are pretty tame.
You don't understand.
I was down for the insurrection, so I'm very familiar with Stand Your Ground rules.
Like, bring it to my house.
Yeah, exactly.
That's why he's encouraging people to come to his house, so you can just shoot him once again from his front step.
I do want to... You didn't find the video, did you?
So check the video?
No.
I mean, yeah, I didn't even look for it.
I thought he wasn't there.
I misread this.
I'm sorry, everybody.
You didn't see the picture.
It's okay.
Like I said, there's no way it could have been... You saw that and read it at face value and it was good enough.
You didn't realize how good it actually was.
Uh, so, and I also like the part, my wife Cindy was reluctant to get the vaccine because of all the conflicting information we have been getting from day one.
So, first part there, uh, not admitting that he didn't get the vaccine because of conflicting information.
Mm-hmm.
Just, like, throwing his wife under the bus, his dead wife under the bus, essentially saying, this is why she didn't get the vaccine, was because of all that conflicting information.
And then the second part of that, the conflicting information, Very good, considering what Chris Johansson has been posting.
Yeah.
Such as this meme that shows two, you know, white rats talking to each other.
Impact font.
Left one says, did you get the vaccine yet?
The right one says, no, they're still testing it on the humans.
So there was a lot of conflicting information.
There was what the CDC and scientists and doctor were saying and what her husband was saying.
That's the thing is like, You looked for the conflicting information that you wanted to see.
Yes.
That's just what happened.
You looked for the information that you already wanted to see.
I mean, charitably speaking, like you're in a bubble.
You're in a cultural political bubble.
So it was just handed to you flat out.
But the other stuff, the actually grounded in scientific evidence and You know, uh, medical- people with medical backgrounds telling you to wear a mask, telling you to get vaccinated, that sort of thing.
You also had access to that stuff, right?
It's not the case of, like, being partitioned off and not get- seeing, quote, both sides of it or whatever.
But you definitely liked one side a lot more.
Um, and I- this re- it reminds me of, like, a conversation I had with, uh, a dude from, One of the Facebook groups I'm in, uh, I, I don't know, I was, they were posting about, you know, the vaccine or whatever, and I was like, yeah, get, get the vaccine.
Just like, get the vaccine.
Please, please do it.
And I got an unsolicited, uh, DM from Cody who said, straight up, man to man, there is essentially no proof of anything about this vaccine's long-term effects.
There is little to no proof how it affects the youth and at what age you should actually be exposed to some of the ingredients.
You believe the media and the CDC, which has been proven wrong time and time again.
Or, sorry, time and time and time and time again.
They call those people sheep.
You should watch videos on YouTube about sheep behavioral studies.
You know, that's where they get it from.
There's actually YouTube videos where they do sheep behavioral studies.
It's not just people calling people sheep.
I love that, yeah, he's like explaining the scientific reason.
He's baa-ing at me.
Also, that's, yeah, you're right, which is why you can't get the vaccine when you're under 12 right now.
Right, yeah.
So, you're not wrong there, but I mean, they've addressed that.
Listen, if you want to truly understand infectious diseases, you gotta watch this YouTube video about the nature of sheep.
Well, and it is kind of bullshit, though, because I thought... Usually, I had a kid so that she can taste the food before I do.
You know?
And I should have been able to do the same for the vaccine, but they took that away from us.
That's because they know that we would find out.
And that's why kids can't get the vaccine.
Um, and I said, please just go to your doctor.
Please just talk, like talk to a doctor, right?
And he was like, I don't have to talk to a doctor.
Uh, my sister is a plastic surgeon.
What?
And I was just like, you know that that's different than like a general practitioner, like a general doctor, somebody who's going to actually treat disease or whatever.
No, dog.
She can give me lung implants.
And then he came around to saying, like, even the doctors in my family are upset about the rollout or the way the, I don't know, people have been, like, forced to get the vaccine or whatever.
And it's like, so you didn't even say that your doctor relatives told you not to get the vaccine.
You're just saying they're upset with, like, the way the government handled the vaccine rollout, right?
Yeah, and you're not alone there, bud.
And then he was like, it is because I'm not reading verbatim, but he was like, it's because of the vaccine that the Delta variant popped up.
The vaccine made it mutate more quickly.
Oh my god.
It's called evolution.
It's like when you have a virus and you take antibiotics for the virus but you don't finish the antibiotics and the virus mutates and gets stronger.
And I said, you don't take antibiotics for a virus.
Antibiotics don't treat a virus.
No.
And then he said, you know what I meant.
You're trying to seem smarter than me just because you knew that.
And it's like, I, that's like a basic thing that if you care about health, you've probably heard in your lifetime.
You know, if you've listened to a doctor, you've probably heard that.
Second of all, I'm not the one trying to be an expert.
You are the one who has watched a YouTube video on sheep and thinks you can tell other people what the vaccine is doing and what it's not doing.
And it's, I said, I am a UPS driver.
I, I'm not an expert on this shit, nor would I pretend to be.
And it's like, all I can do is trust the word of like people who I, I don't know, have calculated, probably know what they're talking about.
Like I don't, I don't trust the media.
I don't trust the CDC explicitly, but if I'm going to trust somebody's word, it is going to be like a confederation of doctors, not a guy on YouTube or a wise doctor in a Facebook video.
But it's not just that, it's that compounded with our like high school biology education.
You know, it's like, we actually did get taught a lot of this stuff.
You know, this stuff does actually make some sense and, like, the logic they're taking is just so... it's such a stretch.
It's like, no, we actually know how this... they explain it to us and it makes sense if you know what you're talking about and you should.
Well, they'll say that this vaccine is different than, like, the polio vaccine you learned about in biology or the chicken pox vaccine or the flu vaccine.
This vaccine is totally different and you need to, you know, watch this tick talk about it.
Yeah.
And it's like, so no, sorry, I don't trust your TikTok.
I don't trust your, uh, I don't trust your anecdote.
I don't trust an anecdote from a stranger.
Like I don't, you shouldn't trust an anecdote from a person, you know, and love and trust.
Like that's not the way evidence works.
Right.
Uh, you certainly shouldn't trust an anecdote from a random person on Facebook, which is like what these people love to do.
Um, so it's, my point is that, If you're like part of a certain political or cultural persuasion, you are trusting various people to tell you what to do in response to the vaccine.
You are appealing to authority because you're not conducting tests on the, you know, virality of coronavirus.
You're not conducting tests on the efficacy of the vaccine.
You have to trust a person who says they know what those things are or has done the studies, right?
And if you're on the right wing, those people are, yeah, a talk radio host.
Yeah.
A YouTube personality.
YouTube personality or a Facebook guy or whatever and if you're like a lib or on the left like you probably have had some higher education or you think there is value to having a higher education you don't think it's all just indoctrination and shit like that and you are going to listen to you know an organization dedicated to public health because you have
Some amount of reasonable faith in that profession, in general.
Yeah.
Well, I mean, you didn't forget, you're also competing against, you know, crackpot senators.
So, that's an authority that we need to listen to.
Somehow, that is a government official that you're also subscribing to.
So, you know, it's like you're not any better than anybody here, bud.
Well, these people are becoming the government officials.
Yeah.
You know, so it's like, yeah, it's a it's a fucking feedback loop.
Another post from this guy, this main lawmaker, Chris Johanson.
It's like a meme, but it's like, I don't know, somebody photoshopped a billboard?
That's like the idea of this meme?
And the billboard says, stand for what is right, even if it means standing alone.
And apparently that was Suzy Kasim?
Kasim?
Oh, I don't know.
That's what I'm saying.
They accredit it to somebody, but that's not a quote.
That's a common thing.
That's not a quote from some... You can't get credit out to one person.
Yeah, on the meme it's quoted to somebody named Susie or whatever, but my point is that...
Yeah, when he posted this, he probably didn't think that it would mean his wife was going to die.
No, no.
And he would be standing alone without his wife now.
Actually alone.
And I also love that, like, dawg, that's not what they're talking about.
Like, I mean, that's probably what these people are talking about is saying, you know, oh, I got to stand for the right to not get vaccinated.
But that's not the origin of what this is, man.
Like this, you would you would be real mad if a black person was posting this about existing.
Yeah, and it's just like, okay, you're in Maine, I guess that's mostly, like, liberal, mostly a blue state.
In Tennessee or Oklahoma or Texas or whatever, it's the other side that has to, quote, stand alone.
When, yeah, they're fully opening schools with no mask mandates, you know, so.
Samantha commented, I'm so sorry Chris Johansen, people can be so cruel and lack compassion.
I have been and will continue to pray for your family.
And then Lori replies with the link to the story we read about, yeah, his wife dying.
And Samantha replies, he has a right to his opinion.
I don't fault anyone for having strong beliefs or opinions.
What I do fault people for is trash talking anyone, especially when they are grieving.
When they are grieving, that part is kinda crucial here, but this guy's clearly not grieving.
Well, not only that, but it's like, it's ultimate, like, lib brain.
It's ultimate, like, respectability brain.
It's like, listen, I'm okay with this guy, like, running a personal crusade to, yeah, own the libs, or own Dr. Fauci, or whatever, and killing his own wife, essentially.
Teaming up to, yeah, kill one of them, if not both of them.
I'm okay with that because that's his opinion but for you to like point out uh how he fucked up that's messed up man that's rude also I do want to apologize like people process trauma differently you know he might have been going to that thing to really it was probably cathartic for him oh to go to the rally to go to the rally be around people yeah that care about him yeah This is a support group, for sure.
Man, it really sucks that your wife got caught by that, uh, the mutated version that they inject in people the governments have been injecting in us.
That's pretty fucked up, man.
You're a target.
I'm glad you were there on January 6th, man.
Thank you.
And Dick Hogan finally comments, uh... Fucking great name.
What a great name.
Yeah.
So sorry for your loss.
Keep on fighting the good fight.
You are a good man.
Under what pre does he see a good man?
Where is that coming from?
He hasn't even claimed that.
I don't think it's that good of a fight, dude.
I think it's probably a really bad fight to make.
Keep on fighting the good fight.
Keep on killing various people you care about.
Live in proximity to.
I mean, you know, keep on doing it.
I'm gonna, this is what I'm gonna do.
I'm gonna not get vaxxed or die trying to not get vaxxed.
Uh, I don't, yeah.
It's just, I, it's worth covering this stuff.
It's dark.
It's, uh...
It's fucked up and it I imagine gets repetitive for people you know after a while but it's just it's truly bizarre times that we're living in and you know that's a lot of what this show is meant to do is to document exactly how bizarre it is to witness this sort of thing and we were going to talk about
The school's reopening, how people are handling that, how people are processing that.
I think that's an episode for another day.
I think we might talk about that this week, but it's... Definitely.
I mean, it's a big deal.
It's a lot of what the country is going through right now.
It's definitely hitting, you know, close to home, as we say.
And it's just like, maybe, you know, maybe these people's legacies will matter.
Maybe these people will leave an impression.
I think when we talked about Phil Valentine in that Patreon episode, I think one person at least was actually encouraged to get the vaccine by his hospitalization.
Um, so hopefully that continues.
Yeah, I mean, if these people died for anything, hopefully it's that, you know?
Yeah, absolutely.
Because I also, I don't think people are gonna, you know, 30, 50 years from now, I don't know if people are gonna believe it.
It's gonna be hard to believe that people were really like that They were just that dumb, you know?
Just like we look back at, you know, past crises where it's like they just didn't know the science.
But they know the science this time, and that's what's really crazy about it.
It's pretty wild about it.
Yeah, it's... It's definitely gonna be something to look back on a long time from now.
I just saw that Trump got booed at his own rally for suggesting that people take the vaccine.
My man can't win for losing over there!
Yeah that's that's why and it's again like we said last week it's just like yeah one of the very few good things he did and he like can't even take credit for it yep exactly was getting the vaccine produced yeah and yeah because he because he they hate that this you know it is the enemy it's the it's the it's a weapon and he did it um so real quick uh i did want to talk about we we're uh
We got some good stuff on Tom McDonald here.
It seems like this comment would have been directed at Minion Death Cult, but it was found in the wild by Casey Harris, who sent it to us in the Facebook group.
But very applicable to this show.
Uh, the name has been crossed out.
Go ahead.
It's even, like, written in, in signature punch, in the signature mean death goal punch.
I thought, I thought that's what it was for sure.
It's pretty, pretty incredible.
Uh, they say, I'm assuming it's a, it's a man, it's a guy or a boy, you know.
Uh, he says, every single time that you losers talk shit on Tom McDonald, I listen to his music even more!
Owned.
I know it just makes you rage, and that translates into pure joy for me!
I feed off the energy, bro.
I feed off the haters.
Lift every voice in joy.
I can just feel the joy radiating off this comment.
It's pretty obvious at this point that this page is ran exclusively by woke lefty simps.
And that's why you seethe in anger every time someone who is known for challenging that agenda gets mentioned.
So I'm gonna seethe with anger?
Don't you fucking hate it when your enemies are seething with anger?
Like it or not, Tom cares for all of you.
Even if you hate him, he genuinely wants what's best for YOU!
Dude, I would be, like, I would lose my mind if I, like, saw Tom McDonald and I was like, hey, fuck you, dog, and he was like, I love you, man.
I love you.
Hey, go with love, man.
It's that Chick Track meme of, uh, they hated him because he spoke the truth.
And it's Tom McDonald saying, opinions are like assholes!
And just, yeah, getting crucified on the next page.
That is what makes him special.
He's an all-around good man.
Of course, since your dad left and your mother married your uncle, you don't have personal experience with good men.
That's why you're so bitter.
That's why you hate seeing Tom succeed.
Because it reminds you of the cold and lonely holidays that you were forced to spend watching your uncle tongue fuck your mom's pie hole.
Not my fucking problem.
So stop taking that shit out on myself and Tom.
Not that Tom cares anyway.
He's too busy making GOLD RECORDS!
And it's like, okay, you're speaking hyperbolically.
You can go ahead and go, you can say platinum, you can say diamond.
We said gold.
Also, um, uh, tongue-fucking your mom's pie hole is not nearly as bad as it sounds like it is.
Isn't that just making out?
That would just be making out, right?
Yeah, yeah, but he's, they're tongue-fucking their mouth, each other's mouths.
Isn't that nasty, dude?
It's so nasty.
And it's, and it's also, it's also, you forgot it's also your uncle.
That's what's funny is that he's like making an incest joke, but the target of it isn't actually the product of incest.
No.
Yeah.
This was a... This is his stepdad.
Also, being as that you exist before the uncle became your stepfather, that might not even be incest.
It might actually be your dad's brother or an uncle by marriage.
It could be a Hunter Biden situation.
Exactly.
See, this is not as offensive as you think it is.
And if your mom found love with someone close by and now they get to make out on the holidays, I don't think that's that bad.
I would be happy for my mom.
What if you're watching your mom and, uh, her, you know, her partner, like, tongue fuck each other?
What if you're looking over there and you're staring at them and they're just going, and you can't stop looking at it?
I'd say, uncle, can you please stop tongue fucking my mom's pie hole?
It's the holidays.
I would say.
I love, you're so right about the piehole thing because I just, I pictured it as her butthole.
That's what I, just because of the context, you know?
Like, I would just picture him, yeah, like eating her ass.
But you're right, it's just kissing.
You gotta remember, not everyone sees the world through your lens of people who enjoy pie-sitting videos that much.
You can't assume that's what they mean.
Yeah, it's like that tweet of somebody saying, you know, it's really sexy in bed when you use a bird leaf.
And then the next reply was like, do you mean a feather?
And I just, I understood what they meant instantly.
I didn't even notice anything weird about it until I saw the reply and I was like, oh yeah, that is called a feather.
I was very confused.
I do love that.
That's the same thing about a pie hole.
I just was like, oh yeah, it's a hole that, you know, looks like a nice pie or something.
I really like that, because I think that it was called a birdleaf in bed, and the partner was like, I'm not going to choose this moment to call that out.
They're about to use this birdleaf on me.
I'm not going to be like, don't you mean feather?
Actually, I know you're about to put that birdleaf all over my body, but actually, we call that a feather.
You don't look a gift horse in the pie hole.
Gold records, baby.
I love this.
Tom only wants what's best for all of us.
Where is he getting that from?
Like, isn't he kind of like a self-acclaimed like kind of asshole?
Like he's like, I am like an asshole, but it's because I'm like a tough love kind of guy.
Isn't that kind of his, he's a hard ass?
Yeah, it's tough love.
He's trying to deprogram us, I think.
It is like one of those things, everybody's an asshole, or I'm an asshole, you're an asshole, but we should all be assholes together.
Something like that.
Yeah.
Um, yeah, he just wants what's best for you.
And then I love the face, again, the frame on this person's profile photo on Facebook is that exposing friends to extremist content online, which is like supposed to make you based and, you know, red pilled and whatever.
And again, the extremist content is, why don't you guys like my favorite rapper?
He literally just wants what's best for everyone.
Also, I mean, why are you fighting it?
If the rage brings you pure joy, like, let it happen, then.
Yeah, I just, I like that he was able to not get mad at everybody.
Yeah, that was really cool.
I think that was very mature.
Well, because you don't have to get mad if you have something like Tom McDonald to put on.
And that, I guess, really good.
Yeah, he was definitely, like, following...
He was definitely following Tom McDonald's lead and just being really cool and laid back and letting all the drama pass over you.
Not really reacting to it.
Not really reacting at all, let alone overreacting.
This guy flips off the camera in every picture with a big smile though.
You know?
That's definitely this energy.
There was a... I think Tom McDonald dropped a new song.
I haven't listened to it yet.
I hope it's good though.
I hope it's a good one.
Wow.
Fake fans over here.
