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 are going to get you.
Oh, they're in Bartholstein.
Stay tuned.
I'm Alexander Edward.
And I'm Tony Boswell.
And we are Minion Death Cult.
The world is ending.
The slave plantation canceling my wedding is responsible.
We're documenting it.
What's up, everybody?
It's your show for the week.
Sorry about last week.
As I explained on the Patreon episode, which I'm sure you heard since you're all just so supportive of this show and want to help us succeed, help us pay our bills and everything, Tony was dying.
He wasn't feeling good.
His throat was fucked.
And if you know anything about podcasting, you kind of need that to do it.
He's back, though.
Not in the cool way.
My throat wasn't fucked in the cool way.
It wasn't, like, getting fucked.
It was just, like, it just didn't work.
Like, if that tried to happen, I probably would have died.
If someone tried to fuck my throat at that point, I would have for sure died.
The first thing John says on the show is pretending he's getting throat fucked.
John, come on.
What?
Come on, we're guests here.
Sorry, sorry.
I apologize.
It's okay.
It's on character.
It makes sense.
Not for me, though.
Usually that's a Stefan.
That's Stefan's bag.
That's not usually my bag.
I just, yeah, I couldn't help but go for the easy dunk.
But yeah, Tony, it sounded like it was really brutal.
It was awful.
Awful.
Couldn't breathe.
Couldn't drink.
Couldn't do anything.
But I'm alive now.
I'm alive and we're thriving.
Okay, well joining us today to help us thrive are the Blocked Party boys, John and Stephan.
And it's a good thing you guys have been on this show before, a while ago, so that John making cock sucking noises isn't technically his first impression on our audience.
Yeah.
I mean are they do you think I mean I sort of feel like our shows probably kind of share an audience like I like I know for sure that there are definitely block party fans who are big Minion death cult fans like I know that for sure but then I would also just think in general the listeners of our show are kind of like-minded yeah like-minded listeners of the show so I yeah sort of felt like um You felt like you were at home.
I felt like I was at home, like I could really just kind of go for it, and your listeners would be into it.
So I guess I'll pose the question to you two.
Am I wrong?
Was that an incorrect move to make off the top of the show?
No, no, absolutely.
I think you're right.
I think that one thing that we do have in common, our listenership, is I think there's a lot of old man penis aficionados across both boards.
So I think that you're fine.
You really just beat me to my own joke.
But I mean, anyone who knows that knows I am by no means a throco and I'm full of shit there.
But you know, hey, it's cool to dream.
Oh, like you're not good at it?
Tony, you're the throco.
Come on.
I'm just not.
I'm just not.
Don't say that.
Tony.
Okay, okay.
I mean, okay.
Thank you.
I'll take it.
I'll take it.
Yeah, I would say there's a deep spiritual or quantum, you know, if you're not the religious type, connection between our two audiences, certainly.
As exhibited, yeah, by you inviting us on to a blocked party livestream last week, forcing us to look at weird stuff on the internet.
Like, what?
I thought that was our jobs.
And to help reestablish dominance, we brought you back on here to show you weird stuff from the internet that you could react to.
Yeah, returning the favor.
That's kind of what friends are for, really.
I can remember having friends in the early days of YouTube where you'd just be like, okay, well, no, you watch this one.
And then, you know, and then you'd show your friend and, oh, no.
And okay, I got this one.
You'd all be sitting around the computer.
Yeah, you'd just be sitting around the computer or like the computer was hooked up to a TV and you'd be sort of sharing YouTube videos.
Back when YouTube used to have just like full episodes of like South Park that you could watch back in like 2005 or whatever.
Yeah, exactly.
That shit rocked.
That was so good.
Yeah, so I feel like this is what friends do.
Yeah.
Yeah, one of my friends when we were about like 18 worked for a merch distribution company that did you know a lot of like bigger hardcore bands merch but then also like really really shitty crossover mainstream pop appeal type hardcore bands that were Blending beatdowns and death growls and electronic techno dance numbers that were just purely aimed at like 15 year old girls.
And so they would get sampler CDs from these record labels and we would listen to them and we would like force each other to listen.
Bands like Icy Stars.
Stuff like that.
I don't know if any of these are ringing a bell.
I don't even think I know them.
Yeah.
And I was into that scene.
Icy Stars, I don't think I even know.
Yeah, Icy Stars was pretty bad.
What's, man, I'm blanking here.
I haven't revisited that label in a while.
But they all had shirts with like large, they go on the same theme.
They all had shirts with large impact font.
Neon colors across the back or front that said something abrasive, where I said something like, like edgy.
Well, the first, the biggest band that was on like one of these labels was Falling in Reverse.
Are you familiar with that band?
Okay.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So we would just like watch the Falling in Reverse music video where he tries to look like Tom Cruise getting off of a jet and then rapping over a hardcore breakdown.
Pretty good stuff.
That sounds sick to be honest.
I feel like you need to see if Brian knows about any of this too, right?
I believe it.
I know Glassjaw used to have some really good, I remember seeing them and that was all their shirts was like some sort of image on the front and then the back was impact font with some big, I remember one was start a war, just said like start a war and like big impact font.
Then the other one, which I almost got because I just thought it was like a very funny thing to wear on the back of your shirt.
Said in giant impact font, dinner is on us.
Oh, okay.
That's good.
I like that.
Glassjaw's good though.
I give them a lot of reference.
Yeah, Glassjaw's sick.
I always wanted, it's weird, now I think totally different, but I always wanted the shirt with Africa on it, but now I'm like, why did they do that?
I don't know why.
Oh yeah, Glassjaw, yeah.
Because me, I was like, oh, I like Africa.
I like Glassjaw.
This is cool to me.
Then I was like, wait, hold on one second.
Why do they do this?
This is weird.
No one in this band.
They did it just for you, Tony.
That's how I felt.
I once had a pair of Dunks signed by Daryl Palumbo.
I had a pair of Dunks signed by Daryl Palumbo.
- I mean, I had a pony on the back in Impact Launch.
- I thought that, like I said, I had a pair of dunks signed by Darryl Palumbo.
- Did you really?
- Whoa, okay.
- Yeah, yeah. - Did he sign like, "You can lead a whore to water"? - Yeah.
I don't know what, I think it was just his name.
But yeah, that wouldn't be funny.
I'm a soul.
But that was totally, that's a very 2007 thing.
But you can't make her drink and follow orders, Alex.
That's the key.
Gosh.
That is the second part of the lyric, by the way.
That is not me.
Like, we're 10 minutes in.
I don't want people to think I'm like dick-sucking noise guy and misogynist guy.
Although that would be the same guy, I guess.
But Yeah, that is the second one.
You're quoting the lyric.
I'm quoting the lyric.
The listeners, they might have a kiss in the shape of a bullet for you, if they thought that.
That's true.
Context clues.
These are all songs.
These are all lyrics from Glassjaw songs.
Glassjaw's first album, Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Silence, is a very difficult listen in the year of our Lord, 2022.
It's a good album, but the lyrics are very misogynistic.
They're not aged well.
I used to have all that music.
I used to have a joke that Glassjaw was a band about Daryl Palumbo hating women, and Head Automatica was a band about Daryl Palumbo trying to have sex with them.
Yes, totally.
But that first Head Automatica record fucks, though.
Oh, yeah, absolutely.
It's intentional.
He wanted it to fuck.
Yeah, he was like, ah, shit.
It seems like there's not a lot of women coming to the Glassjaw show.
What's going on here?
Is it the multiple times I threaten women in my songs?
That's fucking weird.
Yeah, but they get better.
Like, Worship and Tribute isn't really... it's still listenable today.
I've put it on recently, like, in the past little while, and I like it.
It's still fun to listen to.
It still is really good.
I mean, the first, like, four tracks on that record are so good.
I love Worship.
All that music is so misogynistic and wild.
I love Worship and Tribute.
Did you, what is it, the Coloring Book EP?
Very fucking good.
And then the newest one, the newest full-length, I can't remember what it's called.
Very good.
Modern Maternity... Matricide?
Yeah, Modern Maternity.
Daryl Palumbo's now trying to court mums.
Material control.
That's what it's called, I think.
I haven't listened as much to the newer one, but yeah, Worship and Tribute was a huge album for me.
Absolutely.
In those years.
Yeah.
Well, I mean, it's even more ironic that they used to have the Africa imagery, considering they abandoned Africa for Jamaica with that reggae song on the new album.
That's true.
They have a reggae song?
It's like kind of a weird slow reggae song.
It's funny.
Like honestly though, and Glassjaw's not new metal, but we have covered them on the POD cast actually, a listener paid us to cover them, but the thing is like they're not new metal, but a lot of new metal or that kind of heavy music is sort of funky, and then funk is like only like a half step removed from reggae, so it's like a very slippery slope.
Like you're There's just a lot of, there's a lot of nu metal bands where you're like, this is kind of a reggae song.
What are you guys, what's going on here?
We can't even talk about, we can't do that.
We can't talk about the funk bass correlations between funk and nu metal.
We can't do that.
That's a whole different show.
We can't do that without mentioning.
I will go for that for like, yeah.
Can't do that without mentioning 3.11.
Dancehall rhythms and punk guitar.
I mean, they tell you themselves.
Brian just got in some big trouble on PODcast because we covered Skindred, which is like straight up like a reggae nu metal band fronted by a black, a Welsh born, or sorry, a Jamaican born Welsh man.
So yeah, and they like made the reggae charts and everything.
And Brian compared one of their songs to 3.11.
And I was like, okay, Brian, you gotta, you gotta pull back on the sort of like five white guys from Colorado being like the Jamaican born guy.
I will, I will put money on Skindred likes 3.11.
Oh, I, I don't doubt that they do.
It just was, Brian was like, this sounds like 3.11 to me.
And I'm like, you are going to be in big trouble when people hear this.
So you said he's, he's Welsh born, he's Welsh, but he's Jamaican born?
Jamaican born, yeah.
Benji Webb.
He's white though, right?
Is that what you're saying?
No, no, no.
No, he's not.
Then what's the Welsh part?
Well, he lives in Welsh.
Oh, maybe he was born in Wales.
He lives in Welsh?
He lives in Welsh.
He lives in Wales.
Sorry, yeah, he was born in Wales.
My bad.
I thought his family is Jamaican.
He was born in Wales to Jamaican parents.
That makes more sense.
I thought you were saying he lived in Jamaica but was Welsh descent.
I don't know if that gives him that much credit.
It's like, you can't make fun of that guy.
He's unassailable.
He's lived in Jamaica for seven years.
You're making the Elon African-American joke.
Yeah.
No, Skindrid definitely, and he had good dreads.
Great dreads.
Like, really good dreads.
I was gonna say, if it's a white guy fronting a band called Skindrid, Which is three things, like, right?
Like, kindred, right?
Skin.
Yup.
And then dread.
And I'm like, there's got, there can't be a white guy fronting this band.
Well, and it's also way too close to skinhead.
So you're getting real trouble.
Oh no.
Okay.
Anyway, what do you guys know about Adrienne Curry?
Are you guys familiar with this chick?
So, in the DM, you sent us the stuff we'll be covering on the show, and I was like, I recognize that name.
And I was like, I'm pretty sure... I mean, you said that she was from America's Next Top Model, but in my head, I was like, before I even saw that, I was like, I think she's a supermodel.
Um, but I feel like I haven't heard of or like thought about her and I mean, not that I did before, but like she's not really been in the public view for a while.
Is that correct?
She's like a supermodel who just missed being on Rock of Love.
Okay.
All right.
You know what I mean?
She won the first America's Next Top Model.
I remember.
I watched it.
Okay.
Oh, yeah.
Totally.
Okay.
Yeah.
She married Peter Brady.
They might have had a reality show of some kind.
I'm not... I think they did.
Yeah.
They totally did.
She's divorced from him.
Now she's married to another guy.
She's like a personality now.
She's like a Facebook personality where she's trying to espouse the traditional womanhood lifestyle by posting all the time, which is a very big part of the trad lifestyle.
You just have to stay online the whole time.
So she's like Reposting slightly less edgy memes than the edgiest memes, right?
She's like, she's reposting like edgy memes from like 2016, basically.
Right.
Like Paul, like what Paul Joseph Watson posts on Twitter, she'll post on Facebook.
Okay, right.
And she's always really mad.
She's always, like, upset about stuff, and of course she projects that onto other people.
They're the ones... I'm laughing, actually.
They're the ones who are so angry all the time.
Well, to be a conservative, traditional white woman in America is to be in a perpetual state of rage, you know?
Is she doing the full-on online Catholic thing, or is it just sort of leaning into it a little bit?
I don't think it's Catholic, it's just trad, right?
Yeah, it's like homesteading.
She's like a fake, off-the-grid homesteader type.
You know, like a wood sign type.
Right.
What do you call it?
Like a wine, like almost wine mom stuff.
Her profile picture is her literally wrapped in an American flag.
So.
Okay.
So it's a little, is it a little bit of like the, like return stuff, like the Western civilization stuff too?
Like there's a sprinkling of that as well.
She will post that stuff accidentally.
She's like definitely enmeshed in like what it means to be a masculine man and I know my role as a woman and like my role is like nurturing and to help him fulfill his needs and I don't want some liberal pansy ass pussy I already got one of those in my pants you know that Like just kind of generic traditional values, traditional roles that obviously is going to intersect with the more outward fascism, this is what they stole from you stuff.
Kind of like Joe Rogan, how Joe Rogan just will post like fascist memes probably because he's very stupid, not because he's like a self-aware fascist.
I'm a little disappointed, Alex, you didn't mention Adrian Curry's stint hosting the show Ball Breakers, which was an American pocket billiards game show that began on the Game Show Network in July of 2005.
And it's still going today.
It was cancelled in 2006.
Isn't pocket billiards just a euphemism for masturbation?
What is pocket billiards?
Yes, it's a weird way of saying they just play nine ball on the show.
So this sounds like a combination of blind date and pool playing.
So the show featured four people who first auditioned for the show in both categories of personality and pool skills.
The four contestants then played games of nine ball against one another for bets.
At the beginning of the show, each contestant was given $5,000 for use in betting.
Wow.
So it was just a... What an insane idea.
Yeah, and then one person at the end of the show would win like the $20,000.
Were they even, were they like, I thought it was like they were like professional pool players.
No.
They weren't even necessarily... No, I don't think any of them were professionals.
Oh my god.
So are they trying to date each other?
Are they trying to couple up?
I don't think so.
I just think, like, it just seemed to me like that concept of just, like, nobody's being like, I'm a cool person and I can play pool.
Hey, I'm Jack.
Yeah.
Stoked to be on Ball Breakers with Adrian Curry.
What an insane show.
Yeah.
I found pictures of, like, her of her wedding to her current husband, who's, like, just One of these white guys who's just like a fake outdoor guy.
Like you said, a fake homesteader, but he has the beard and he's wearing lots of tweed.
Yeah.
He's a Mumford and Son.
Exactly yeah yeah but it's like I don't know it's just funny just yeah it's just traditional you can tell it's just good old-fashioned values.
Yeah I think the last time we talked about her uh was when the Roe v Wade being overturned leaked uh before it actually you know before they actually ruled overruled it um and she posted one of those NPC memes where it's like oh people used to be upset about the war in Ukraine but oh go figure now they're upset about Roe v Wade?
What?
I just talked about that on the main app we recorded because we had Sex J on and he was blocked by Elon Musk and so we were looking at some of his really good posts that we like and one of them was basically that exact thing like the oh this like I'm mad at like current thing or whatever and it's like That's how the fucking news works.
That's how it has always been.
And also, you guys are the exact same way.
You're mad at Drag Queen Reading Hour.
Now you're mad at this.
It's just how it has always worked.
It's just the fucking news cycle.
Yeah, the newspaper comes every day.
It's put on your doorstep every single day.
You can't just talk about the war on Ukraine every single day.
Other stuff happens.
It's literally called the new.
I couldn't be mad about that yesterday because it didn't happen yet.
Yeah, why weren't they mad about this thing that hasn't happened?
When all of you guys were talking about the war on Ukraine, I was talking about the potential heat wave that might be happening this summer.
You guys fell off.
Yeah, no, actually, very Chad-like of me, when you put something in front of my face, I refuse to have an opinion about it.
I refuse to react.
I just stare off about 10 feet into the distance.
Yeah, you have no sense of object permanence.
And that's like the smart thing, is to not have that.
So one of our listeners is like a really big fan of Adrienne Curry and is constantly sharing her posts into our Facebook group.
So thank you, John, for doing that.
I liked this one.
She posted, 5th grade graduation?
Preschool graduation?
when you make everything oh so special all the time dot dot dot dot dot dot dot nothing is special anymore dot dot dot and everyone turns into entitled brats So like still doing the participation trophy stuff in our year of 2020.
The 2016 stuff.
That feels like the 2016 stuff.
That's so funny to complain about.
That's nothing new.
They've always done everything you just talked about.
You do your little preschool graduation.
You do your little kindergarten graduation.
You're from like elementary to junior high.
You don't do a junior high one.
But then you do, you know, it's like that's always happened.
That's like never not happened.
And it is stupid, but it's not like but it happens for everybody.
So it's also for the parents, too.
It's not.
Yeah, it doesn't.
I don't don't give a shit about.
I don't understand how that makes you entitled.
To have a shitty graduation ceremony you hate when you're in kindergarten.
Oh, don't worry.
We have some people who will explain how it leads to an entitled society.
Oh, okay, okay.
Perfect, good.
Please, go ahead.
To me, it's like, I'm looking at this and it's like preschool graduation.
Okay, yeah, preschool to school.
That's like a fundamental change, right?
You're like in one school and you go to a different school.
Yeah, I guess That should count as a graduation of sorts.
You're going into middle school, which in many parts of the country are 6th, 7th, and 8th grade, right?
I had a graduation going into high school, like a little ceremony.
Oh yeah, we had a full one.
I mean, we didn't have cap and gown or anything, but we had going into grade 9.
Yeah, it just, it makes sense to me if you're like, if you're like a change of venue, you're like literally graduating from one, one building to another, you know what I mean?
And it's just like, just a harmless little, like who cares?
I just, it's, I can't imagine getting mad about this on any level.
Yeah, so I liked Megan's response here.
Megan Fordenbacher, who said, and then they leave high school and no more rewards for every little thing you do.
No wonder they're suicidal.
What?
What?
And then Adrienne, I'm jumping ahead, but Adrienne responded to her, she said, THIS!
Oh my god.
Oh wow, yeah.
What?
Do people think that the youth are more suicidal now than ever?
Yeah, because once you turn... yeah, well, speaking from experience, once I finished all of my graduation ceremonies, I was like, I mean, what is... what's the fucking point anymore?
I don't get to do any more graduation ceremonies?
I don't get to sit through the most boring three hours of my life ever again.
I need to go end it all.
Oh my god.
And Caesar wept because there were no more graduation ceremonies to attend.
Yeah, what a wild... especially because, too, like, graduation, you don't get anything.
Like, you get, like, your diploma or whatever, and maybe that leads to future employment, but, like, kind of the version of graduation when you're an adult is, I guess, getting promoted or getting, like, a new job or whatever.
And you're getting, it's like you're getting money.
You're getting like a thing that you would actually want.
It's not like some piece of paper that doesn't do anything.
Totally.
Like there are still versions of quote unquote graduations, you know, that, that, you know, ostensibly make life worth living or whatever you want to say that, that actually have a tangible benefit.
Graduation is just like, yeah, I did this thing that, that everybody does.
And now I have a piece of paper.
Great.
Graduation, the biggest benefit is not having to go to school anymore.
Like that's, that's the celebration.
It's cool.
You're released.
You're free of this thing that you probably hate if you're a normal person.
God.
And so this is just to be clear, these posts are happening recently.
Yeah, this was from, uh, Well, this was from, like, a few days ago.
Oh, my God.
Incredible.
I just can't imagine, like, to have the, like, literally, she had the post, the NPC meme post about, like, oh, I have to be mad about this now.
And she's doing posts about how she's mad about fucking preschool graduation.
Yeah, see, she's thought about it, Stefan.
That's the thing, is she didn't just knee-jerk react and hate it the second she heard about it.
She waited seven years.
Yeah, she's been letting this simmer for seven years.
She considered it.
Yeah.
That's why this is funny to cover it because she has amassed this huge following of stay-at-home moms and relatively low-information social media addicts, which is a very interesting person to be, right?
Because you're just on Facebook all the time and you're still somehow completely unaware of reality around you.
And so you do, that's why I liked this post because you do get a more like people elaborating on the participation trophy meme.
You get people actually explaining rather than just doing the old meme that we've seen so many times.
The other thing is when you did get one of those in school or whatever, it fucking sucked.
It was like, Oh, here's your loser award.
You dumb little motherfucker.
Like I hate, no kid enjoys getting a participation trophy.
I mean, I had a whole room in my house.
If it's a sick trophy, I'll take it.
Kids know that my Sportsman of the Year award is not the same as MVP.
I know that.
I'm not over here being like, I'm basically MVP.
They're like, no, you were just nice, actually.
You didn't do anything athletic.
You were just kind.
I won most improved basketball player in grade five because I made a basket in the last game of the year.
Yeah, I like that one, though.
That one's good.
Oh, yeah.
You did a Rudy.
Yeah, exactly, yeah.
I got the Freshman Baseball, I got the Coach's Award, and I knew that it was a crock of shit because I got cut right after that.
That's their way of placating you?
You did get the Coach's Award.
We loved you a lot, but we had to let you go.
Here's your severance package.
They were just saying, maybe you'd be a better coach than a player.
Maybe you'd pick out coaching.
Yeah, that's always a good thing to hear when you're like 12.
We think you'd probably be a better coach.
Connie also has some insight into the whole participation trophy phenomenon.
She says, I knew we were in for trouble when I was at a 6th grade, quote, graduation in the early 90s and one of the parents rented a limo and their daughter had a full dozen roses.
Angry emoji.
Like, again, like, that's their... Yeah, it's not your problem.
Like, the parents are just having fun with it.
Like, whatever.
It's just, I can't imagine having the mental energy to actually get, like, mad.
And, like, she's been holding onto that for fucking, like, 20, 25 years or whatever.
Yeah, well, it comes in handy because Amy responds, what does she get for her high school graduation?
Dot, dot, dot.
A million dollars?
LOL.
And then Connie responds, I do know later on in life I worked for the custody division at the sheriff's office and she had numerous bookings.
Guess that great parenting paid off.
What?
So she returned to a life of crime.
Okay, this does sort of, now I sort of believe the whole theory about how important- Yeah, if you don't kill yourself, you're going to become a career criminal.
It's either suicide or armed robbery.
I also want to know, now I'm wondering why Connie was at this graduation.
Like, whose kid were you there for?
Yeah, it seems like maybe she doesn't have kids.
That's the thing about six-year graduations is your aunt doesn't need to come.
She doesn't need to be there.
So maybe you're part of the problem, Connie.
Also, this person who you saw graduate is 35 now, 38.
They're like a full grown adult.
Yeah, something else might have happened to her besides getting a limo in the sixth grade.
Yeah.
Maybe.
Maybe.
No, I think it was the limo.
I do like how just, like, totally horrified at the idea of giving your sixth grader a bouquet of flowers that she didn't earn.
You know, like... Oh, I mean, a dozen roses!
I've held that with me ever since I read this comment.
And I saw a guy that was just giving roses to his wife for no fucking reason.
And you know what happened?
Five years later, the wife, dead.
Hey, you don't know if it was no reason.
You know, she also might be the throat goat and deserves some roses.
That's true, yeah.
She actually killed herself because the husband never gave her roses again.
I don't get roses every day?
Well then, too bad.
I liked how Adam responded to this.
Adam said, uh, kids get rewarded for the most insignificant things such as going to the bathroom.
Quote, hey, congratulations for not pissing on the floor.
Yeah, hasn't that been like a thing forever?
That is.
Congratulations!
You were pissing on the floor a lot and now you're not.
Isn't that just potty training?
That's an important part of parenting, isn't it?
Yeah, it's huge.
That's like a, that's an important part of parenting, isn't it?
- Yeah, I guess.
- Yeah.
- It's huge, it's a big deal.
- Yeah.
- I, like, I just, potty training is woke now.
We've got to give our kids praise for everything, including using the toilet correctly.
Like, they should just already know how to do that.
You know what I mean?
It's pretty fucking simple, and if they don't, well, they'll learn the hard way.
God, I legitimately feel so bad for these people's kids.
Exactly, because that is the opposite.
The opposite choice, the opposite of like, hey, good job, bud, you made it to the toilet, is like, don't you ever fucking do that again?
And that's what Adam's fucking doing.
And that's what fucks kids up.
It's like whenever there's like a tweet or something, or like when the Adrian Peterson stuff was happening or whatever, and then you'll get the people who are like, well, I was spanked as a kid and I turned out fine.
And it's like, no, you didn't.
You turned into a guy who defends spanking children.
Yeah.
You turned into a guy who's like lusting over child abuse.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You got fucked up, dude.
Yeah, it didn't go great.
Yeah, that's a really weird one.
Take your L, bro.
This two-year-old kid, you pissed on the floor.
What the hell, man?
And it's also like... What the hell, dude?
It's not really an insignificant thing either way, you know?
Because like, yeah, sure, learning potty training is a big fundamental step for a child.
That's like a big, you know, a big deal of formative experience and like their learning and all of that becoming a...
Self-sufficient human being.
It also sucks ass to mop up piss off the floor.
It's a good thing when they don't do that.
It's not insignificant.
Changing diapers sucks too, like you want them to learn how to not do that.
Just like the worst example you could have picked.
That's all I'm saying.
And it's literally like a sticker a day for two weeks, or like a jelly belly.
It's not like, you know, dropping confetti every single time they go to the bathroom.
It's not like you're giving them a dozen roses.
And then it's over.
Then it's, yes, giving them a dozen roses.
Limo ride away from the bathroom.
What, your parents didn't give you rewards for taking a shit in the toilet when you were 12?
What are you guys talking about?
That was how it worked for me forever.
I was like, look, Mom and Dad, you don't want me to piss on the floor?
Pay up, pay up!
I think we can come to an arrangement here.
It was actually kind of weird.
I actually couldn't have dinner until they knew I shit.
They had to know I shit for me to have dinner.
I don't know what that's about, but that's how I still live my life.
John had like a tooth fairy thing going where he would shit under his pillow.
Exactly.
Then every night, my parents would sneak and quietly fish out the shit, throw it in the toilet, and leave a crisp $5 bill.
I'm pretending to be that guy on Facebook.
You guys didn't do it that way?
Oh, your parents just gave you rewards when you were like two or three to get you to shit in the toilet?
How shocking, how upsetting of an experience was it when you caught your mom grabbing that turd herself?
The turd fairy wasn't real.
It only was embarrassing when I started giving her a participation trophy for pulling it out of there.
That's when it got really rough.
You probably would have kept it going if it wasn't for the recession.
The recession probably took that grift out, huh?
Yeah.
It was tough, you know?
It all of a sudden started to be instead of $5 bills, it was loonies and toonies, and I mean, that's just not worth it at the end of the day, so.
Started going in the toilet like a regular guy, I guess, whatever.
Wasting water.
Yeah.
Yeah, exactly.
Uh, the last response I have here is from Chloe, who says, spoken like a true woman with no children.
Kindergarten graduations are adorable and it's a big step.
And this got, like, a pretty, pretty positive response, you know?
Like, a lot of people were like, hey, maybe stop, like, picking on children, you know?
Oh wait, she doesn't have kids?
I don't think so.
Her first husband was 25 years older than her, so... That makes it so much funnier that she doesn't have... I thought she had kids, and was like, that's really funny if she doesn't have kids.
Yeah, no, she doesn't have kids.
That's incredible.
But she responded to Chloe, you know, Chloe said, spoken like a true woman with no children.
Adrian responded, spoken like someone watching entitled rot fester A.D.
corrode society.
Wait, what?
Did she just call her kids?
I think there's a typo there, but it still doesn't really scan as a sentence.
Spoken like someone watching entitled rot, fester and corrode society.
She's talking about Chloe's kids.
You can't just call kids Rotfester.
Unless they're really punk.
Then you can call them Rotfester.
That's really mean.
I don't even know what you mean, but I don't like it.
We'd have to maybe fight.
I just love being, like, this deranged.
Like, you heard about a little preschool graduation and you're like, this is the rotting, festering corpse of society we're witnessing decay in real time.
Yeah, someone replies and is like, I don't know, they're pretty fun.
And she just, like, posts a picture of a gun.
I mean that's the other thing too right is like society is rotting and festering and it really is a difficult time to be alive.
We should have graduate like we should have just a day where you can be like you know what everybody's happy.
Let's forget about it.
We've created a little thing where for even a couple hours we forgot about all the stupid shit that's happening outside of here.
We get to put a little sundress on our daughter and she goes to graduation and it's adorable and this is the best thing and great you know.
You're so mad because a family put a collar on a kid, they got a little grab bag with an eraser and a pencil in it, and then you went to IHOP afterwards, and you're thinking that's ruining society.
Yeah.
Oh, God.
Yeah, well, no.
It's like this thing I learned about called the Kaliukas.
It's where if you create good times, it leads to weak children, which then create bad times.
And so you can't create any good times like a graduation party.
Because that's going to create a weak little baby child who won't be able to fight off the degenerate hordes at the gate.
God.
I mean, I see that get posted sometimes, like the good times, hard times, whatever.
And it's like, so then you just never want good times to happen at all.
That's the end result of that.
So you're saying good times are bad?
Yeah, good times are bad.
I think Led Zeppelin wrote a song about that.
And the thing is, too, like we were kind of talking about earlier, it just doesn't, like, what was their childhood?
Like, because in their mind, right, they're thinking, I am, I am like an elite member of society.
Like, I've grown up to be someone who can lecture and try to educate people on how to raise children or live in a society or whatever.
Did Adrienne Curry like piss on the floor until she was eight and not have a graduation?
Like that's the part that doesn't make any sense.
It's like you've had all of these things that's going on and you think that that's made you into this like elite human being but then you think that other people shouldn't have the same thing things that you had like that somehow has made like there's just such a disconnect there that I can never quite understand how you get to that place as an adult.
But not only that, but she's like a socialite.
She hasn't done anything particularly.
She's just been around and married rich people.
She's woken up, Tony.
That's the thing.
She's awake now.
I think she would argue that she's been deprogrammed.
She's been red-pilled from the soft ass.
I see.
Society, you know, and I think a lot of these guys, you know, mostly men who repost shit like that, the Kali Yuga stuff, they consider themselves the hard men born of hard times who are ready to create the good times again by killing all their enemies and having a picnic over the mass graves like we saw in that cartoon that went viral.
Uh, so you could just kind of like pick which, which spot, which character you want to play in this like live action role playing game we're all doing on social media.
I'm going to be a soft guy or whatever.
Oh yeah.
Yeah.
What do you mean, gonna be?
Well, you know what I mean.
I mean, I am, and I'm going to continue.
He's going to be honest with his representation on how he presents himself.
Yeah.
Well, I mean, me too, for sure.
I'm creating hard times, and I fucking love it.
It rocks.
One post at a time.
We're slowly breaking it down.
Okay, so moving on.
This is something that I've been wanting to talk about for a while.
And it's mostly in video form.
So you'll have to seek it out if you want to watch it.
There's not much audio.
I'll plug in what audio there is to the show, but essentially what happened was at a travel ball tournament in Houston, Texas, When the teams were doing the whole good game and you know you shake hands you slap hands with the opposing team as you walk by like you know you do the uh what is it called the uh the the gauntlet you run the gauntlet but just for fun not for like hazing purposes um
With both teams.
Well, one of the coaches on the losing team just fucking steamrolled every kid in line.
And also when he was supposed to be shaking their hands, he was like grabbing their arms and bending them back behind them as they walked past him.
And it all got caught on video.
And you could hear the kids afterward be like, ow, what the fuck?
Good game, good game, good game.
Ow, ow, good game, good game.
Ow, good game.
Ah, that kid hit me hard.
The kid hit me hard.
Well, I got hit right in the head.
The kid hit me hard.
That coach pulled me back.
All the kids are like, what just happened?
They all like grabbed their arms and are shaking their arms.
Well, the first one, the first kid says like, oh, some kid hit me really hard in there.
And then the second kid's like, no, that was like the, that was the coach.
That was the coach.
Okay.
Youth baseball coach removed after rough encounter with opposing players after loss.
Kenneth Wendt's poor sportsmanship was caught on camera after his 9-and-under Scorpions baseball team lost to Prospects baseball on Saturday.
And then the story gets better because, right here, a sergeant with the Harris County Precinct 5 Constable's Office was removed as a youth baseball coach due to his actions after a game in West Houston last weekend.
You're telling me that the guy with a hair-trigger temper and just totally, like, immature, unsportsmanlike conduct to the point where he was assaulting children was a cop?!
What?!
You gotta be kidding me.
Wow.
That doesn't make any sense to me.
Are you joking me?
Do you remember that ritual, like, when that's happening, literally every kid and every person in that line is saying to the other one, good game, good game, good game.
That's what's happening there.
This motherfucker's like, rip.
And like, giving these kids, like, putting them in little mini arm locks every single one.
And they're all like, they're all like rubbing their arms and shit.
It's so unreal.
It's like serial killer shit.
Yeah.
He's yanking the arm so hard.
And then I think another one kid says he actually got like hit or something too, which maybe you can't see in the, in the footage, but like, yeah, we would do that after soccer games all the time.
Right.
And yeah, you just go through and you just, you just slap hands and stuff.
And like occasionally if it was like a, a particularly like contentious game, you might get like, One kid hitting a little bit harder or holding his hand back or something.
Squeezing a little bit maybe?
Yeah, but like... Squeezing shakes or hard slaps?
But yeah, that's not... Very rarely, you know?
The worst I saw while I was playing Little League was just a kid wouldn't put his hand up.
He just walked by and not actually give you a fist bump or give you a clap.
Like that was the snidest thing I saw in my 13 years of playing Little League.
If it makes you feel any better, that kid did not get the Sportsman Award that year.
He did get MVP, though.
He was really good.
He was a piece of shit, but he was really good.
He was the coach's son.
He was really good, but he was also a piece of shit.
The thing that gets me about it too is that he at no point during this does he regain his mind.
No.
You know what I mean?
He does it the whole way through.
Yeah like you'd think like you know there's 15 kids there or whatever you would think at some point Whatever it is that drove him to this point that he's mad whether it's the loss or he didn't like the way the other kids acted or what whatever there's no excuse obviously but I'm just saying like whatever would have set him off or got him so upset about this you would think at some point in the line he would go oh my gosh I'm like trying to yank kids arms out of their sockets maybe I should just stop I think he started going harder.
Yeah, like it was, it was bizarre.
Like I had, so I told you guys about this before we recorded and I've told this story on Block Party.
So if you're a BP listener, I apologize, but please turn off the show.
I mean, yeah, please turn it just, you know, fast forward a couple minutes, but I played hockey growing up and I grew up in Ontario in Canada, which is, you know, the hockey culture is very strong there.
And, uh, we had a dad actually, uh, climb over the glass and come onto the ice.
Um, so his, so his son had gotten a penalty and, and this was like, you know, this dad was definitely a bit of a loose cannon.
Like it wasn't like, Oh boy, Richard just really had a, got at a tough week this week and he's lost his mind.
Like, you know, if you had to guess one parent on the team and you told this story, you'd be like, Oh, it was probably this guy.
Um and so yeah so he his son had gotten a penalty and he was really mad and his by the way his son was like the dirtiest player on the team by far um and had gotten a penalty so he got really mad and he's kind of yelling at the ref over the glass and like the glass is not so he's standing up on the edge of the the dasher and he's so like half his body's over the glass kind of screaming in this ref's face and I don't know if the ref said something he didn't like or what happened but he fully like stepped over the glass
dropped down onto the ice and then it was beautiful to watch you could see in the in the moment his boots hit the ice it was like god shone down on him and he was just like oh my god i just jumped onto the ice at my son's hockey game to like yell at this rat like he and again how old were you i
I was probably 11 and So yeah, so he but it was it was unbelievable Like he just genuinely had that moment where it was like whatever he was mad about was like the world stopped for him And he was like this is I have embarrassed myself my child my family everything like so he literally I was like his boots hit the ice and he Like held his hand up to the ref and went like, I'm leaving.
So he just like fully climbed back over the glass and just walked out of the hockey rink.
The ref didn't even have to kick him out or anything.
He just like, he had that moment.
I feel like that's very Canadian.
Yeah.
Where he's just like, you know what?
I've made a huge mistake.
I'm going to leave now.
So it is funny, like, even in that moment, where as a total loose cannon of a parent, it's Canadian hockey, which is, you know, maybe one of the most intense sports cultures on Earth.
He just realized, like, I've made a huge mistake.
And this guy, there's none of that in here.
He's just all the way down.
I'm yanking these, I'm hurting these eight-year-old children.
Yeah, U9.
That's insane.
It's insane to me.
You know what's wild, though?
I'm watching this video, and I gotta say, there's an element in this interview.
The other coach was a fly young gentleman.
Seemed really cool, very calm, whatever.
Yeah.
Looked cool.
Also brown.
Also very brown.
Yeah.
I wasn't listening.
He's, I don't know, maybe he's Afro-Latino.
But either way, this bald white sheriff... Yeah.
Was probably not stoked about that aspect of it and like that's all I could think of because I remember being in Little League and white parents getting so mad that my dad's team beat them like all the time because we were the only team with black kids.
Yeah.
We were the only team of black kids in the whole place, and when we would win, oh, they got extra mad.
They just got extra mad.
Yeah.
I could see that, because even in hockey, we went through that, where our rivals were like a farming town.
So it was all like, oh, these fucking farmers kids, they fuck it.
You know, like, and that's like in Ontario, that is essentially racism.
When everybody's white in Southern Ontario, like, oh, he's far.
So I could imagine with the added height of it being a racist thing, I could totally, I think you're right.
Like, I think there's gotta be some kind of element to that.
Yeah.
Cause I've seen it on a smaller scale.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You know, it's baseball.
The MLB, although it might look like it has a lot of black players, it only really has like six black American players.
The rest of them are all Afro-Latino from different countries.
There's still a huge representation thing going on in America in baseball.
To see that guy just react so petty and you know that he was It just added fuel to the flame and it's just like, oh, I don't know.
I kind of love watching guys lose it like that.
It's so funny because he's like, there's three coaches and two of them are walking single file, which is, by the way, how you do this end game celebration.
You go single file so that everybody can clap everybody's hand in the same spot.
he takes a step off to the right so he's walking side by side with them and and bowls through the whole kid's line and you see like kids get pushed out of the way by him i think that's the one kid who said that he got hit was the one who like Gets knocked like four feet off to the side.
Other people were saying that he looked drunk.
They were saying that, oh, he was like staggering and looked drunk.
I didn't notice that, but maybe that would make sense why he lost his, why he wasn't considering the optics of this.
I mean, maybe he was just like, oh, I'm not wearing a body camera today.
He does have a gnarly stumble in there.
And that's another thing I do remember from like, my gnarly parent interactions were, I remember having a couple of, Being older when I was working at the fields, by older I mean like 12.
I remember drunk parents being a thing.
I had a coach that was a bad drinker.
You could tell when we... Like he was bad at it?
Yeah, he couldn't get any of the liquid in his mouth.
It was insane.
It was so funny watching him try to squirt the water bottle into his mouth.
It would just fucking miss everywhere.
Was it charming and gritty or was it sad?
Oh, it was sad.
It was sad.
His kid was on the team.
His kid was the worst player on the team.
So it felt like he carried some of that baggage because his kid shouldn't have been on the team.
But yeah, he was like, if we had a game that was especially like, you know, eight or nine at night, like it was obvious he'd had a few drinks before the game.
You could smell the liquor on his breath on the bench and stuff like that.
He he would get mad but never really like it wasn't like he was uh yeah this kind of you know he never hit any kid or whatever but you could definitely tell yeah there are definitely coaches out there that you know their their drinking becomes a problem on the field or on the ice or whatever it's yeah it's that's rough Oh, something just occurred to me, right?
So this is, like, a cop.
This is a dude who's, like, hitting a bunch of kids and, like, pushing them around and stuff.
I think what this is, is this game, this in-game ceremony thing, this is, like, the dugout for actual domestic abuse.
Like, this is the pre-game warm-up before he gets home.
Oh, yeah, he's just getting loose.
This is, like, him on deck waiting to step up to home plate, you know, when those keys unlock the door.
His kid gets in the car and he's like, you saw what I did to the other team.
You are 0 for 4 today, son.
Just wait till we get home.
I'm loose.
Just gives him like 20 brutal high fives in a row.
Just like punishing high fives.
Great game today, Jackson.
Okay so you know this is the story uh he he's I guess been like suspended or something from his job but that was back in uh July 13th I've been waiting to hear more from this and and nothing else has happened so I'm pretty sure he's just gonna get reinstated as a cop after having like abused literally like assaulted a bunch of kids on camera uh But, you know, since this is Minion Death Call, you guys want to hear from the people defending this cop?
Oh, yes.
Oh, 100%.
I would love to hear about that.
OK, so a user, I think this was in the New York Post comment section.
OK.
A user named Fock Hugh uh so spelled spelled like they're racist you know how when you're racist and you spell spell words uh it's spelled it's it's like the ant it's like what is the um what's the term for that it's I don't want to say the really bad term for that, but like fake Asian, you know, fake Asian dialect, fake Chinese.
Oh, I know what you mean.
Yeah, it's yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's not it's not it's not actually spelled right.
Like anything.
It's well, it's it resembles a great example of it is the Smash Mouth album, Fush You Meng, using like fake Chinese characters.
Right, yes.
I've been waiting to see somebody try and cancel Smash Mouth for that one.
I can't wait.
Oh man, good luck.
Because you're canceling Shrek when you're doing that.
Yeah, you're going to get Shrek memes to the rest of your days.
We can't get people to listen about Guy Fieri.
People will not give a shit that Guy Fieri's a piece of shit.
They're like, he's the greatest human!
He likes big burgers, dude.
Yeah.
Yeah, but so that's what this is.
Phou, P-H-O-U-C, space H-U, you get it.
Right.
Says, there's no crying in baseball.
These kids need to toughen up for the life ahead.
Nothing in that video looked abusive to the children.
So someone needs to go to that guy's house and check on his kids.
Yeah, exactly.
You call that abuse?
Starting your defense of this abusive guy, this guy abusing children, with a Tom Hanks quote.
There's no crying in baseball.
Like, I think we need to check the flight logs for fuck you.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
See what he's been up to.
Oh, this isn't child abuse.
Believe me, I know.
No, I think he has a point, though.
Like, this is true.
These kids do need to know that, like, later on in life, there is a good chance that a cop will take liberties and assault you physically for no reason whatsoever, even when you did nothing wrong but win a game.
That might happen to you later on in life.
So they're just preparing them.
You're approaching it from, like, a leftist.
Like, yeah, OK.
All right.
OK.
Maybe that's what he meant.
It's like exposure therapy.
Yeah.
I also, like, there's no crying in baseball except for the coach.
Except for the deranged coach.
Yeah, the drunk cop who's, like, weeping and hitting kids.
He's saying that, like, the kids shouldn't have, you know... The audio of them talking is just so... It's, like, sad, but so funny.
Yeah.
Because they're all in disbelief.
But they shouldn't have done that.
They should have hit him back.
Because that's what he did.
He hit him.
So they should have hit him back.
That would have been so funny if they all took him on and just tackled him.
I would have had to fight him.
That would have been a bad day for me because I wouldn't know he was a cop and I would have treated him as such.
That would have been a terrible day for me as a parent.
I should say, uh, the overwhelming majority of the responses were like, fuck this guy.
Uh, of course he was a cop.
This makes total sense.
Like everybody else was pretty much on the same page, but I was just so eager to see, uh, who, who was, who was making excuses or defending this guy.
And, uh, what he shaggy shag, don't know what that means.
Uh, he says, if you are a policeman white and maybe a rep Republican, You are now, line break, in a position to be trashed, comma, to help the 13% not look so bad.
Wow.
You guys know this right?
The 13% meme?
Yeah.
I don't think so.
No.
Oh, that's the percentage of black people in America, and it's a reference to FBI statistics.
It's a reference to a very racist anti-black meme that's... I don't really want to repeat on the show, but it's like a percentage of crime, and it's like, oh, they're only 13%, but they do all the crime, you know?
Right, right, right.
It doesn't take anything into consideration that's real.
Yeah, and so it's like, it's been a meme for a long time and it's now like seeped into pretty public discourse, public right-wing, almost bordering on normie.
Yeah, Adrienne Curry's posting about it.
Yeah, she probably would.
When I saw eShaggy Shag, my first thought was like, oh, this is soft racism.
This is like, he's, they're doing like a, like a, you know, a quote, like, you know, urban thing here.
Um, and then of course, yeah, they're like, oh no, no, they're, yep.
They're just trying to make these police, police officers look bad to, because they need to make black people not look as bad as they are in comparison.
Like, Shut up.
What?
No, that's not what's happening.
Yeah.
Well, you have to demonize the guy shooting the black man, or else he's going to look bad for doing it.
That's true.
That's a good point.
And honestly, these kids, I think it's about time, you know, they've been on their high horse since they all graduated.
It's about fucking time someone showed them what the real world is like, to be honest.
I like Mark's response here.
Mark Weiner says, IMO, in my opinion, that's another like right wing meme that's kind of percolated through the, they say IMO instead of in my opinion.
I'm just kidding.
This is nothing more than a committed coach teaching discipline.
I can't even say this with a straight face.
Like, how is he being serious?
This is nothing more than a committed coach teaching discipline to young boys.
The parents seem like snowflakes and probably should either be better trained or even removed as parents.
Or the children that complained should probably be booted off the team.
What?
Do you think that one?
I feel like that could be a fake post.
I'm hoping.
Yeah, it's a really good fake one if it is.
I applaud that.
We need to get these kids, kick these little kids off the team and send them to a fucking orphanage.
Get them away from these snowflake fucking parents.
Oh, you just want the hot, you want the handshake line to be all nice and soft.
You want it to be all handshakes?
You want it to be all respectful handshakes where every kid says, good game.
Get these kids away from these demons.
I'm so shocked I didn't see anything about grip strength.
Anything about declining grip strength or womanly handshakes.
That would have been great.
That would have been great.
This is clearly just a coach teaching his kids how to handshake.
How many business deals have you done in your life that have been sealed with a firm handshake?
My friend has a 17-year-old son and I shook his hand the other day and you couldn't believe how soft his hand was.
We're not teaching our kids the way to shake an apple.
Also, like I said, it's not his team.
That's cool that you're a committed coach and you're disciplined and whatever.
Keep that for your team.
The other team, they won.
They actually won, so I don't know if they need more discipline.
Tony, have you seen Batman Begins?
Oh, no, wait, sorry.
Dark Knight.
Have you seen Dark Knight, Tony?
I believe so.
Remember what happens at the end of that movie when Batman takes the fall for Two-Face because he can be the villain?
They need Two-Face to be the hero.
Those kids, they need their own coach to be the hero, right?
We didn't see the part at the end when he gets to the other coach and the coach was presented and says, hey, thanks for that.
I couldn't have done it without you.
The cop looks and he's like, use it.
Don't let it go to waste.
You can get a pizza now.
They can get a pizza and they're going to be okay now.
Spoiled.
Last one.
Last one I'll read.
Jim Chetwine said, if he pushed a black kid, he would be arrested.
But he kind of did though, didn't he?
I mean, if he shoots a black kid, he might not be arrested, so I don't know what country he was in.
What is the implication?
Like the cops get in trouble for things?
Like, because it happened once?
He's saying that the only reason the cop was able to walk away was because he only hurt white kids in this guy's mind.
I don't think, and it's funny, I don't think any of those kids are white.
I don't think there's like one white kid on the team.
I don't wanna like, do phrenology on a kid through the computer, you know?
They don't have the technology to measure their skulls through that video, it's not that high quality.
But I just love it, like, you're mad at the cop for hitting the kids.
There's a bunch of people of color who are also mad at cops for also doing bad shit to kids, but you cannot, you simply will not find common cause with them.
You're like, no, oh no, you guys have it so good over there in the BLM centers of the world.
Because people will march when a cop kills one of your kids.
But over here, a cop whacked him with his glove or whatever.
I don't see any marches.
Where's justice for these kids?
Oh my god.
Oh, it's coming.
It's coming.
Yeah, so I like just anything to avoid solidarity with people.
Yeah, no way.
Why do people have to live outside?
In the brutal heat?
And when it's below freezing?
There are people that are made to live outside.
Why?
Why do people have to live outside?
When there are buildings all around us with heat on and no one inside?
Why?
Why do people have to live outside?
Okay, the last thing I wanted to talk about, and I feel like this might be a novel thing for our Blocked Party boys being from Canada.
In America, we have famous slave plantations that do things like host weddings and birthday parties and concerts that you can go to to have a good time.
You guys have anything like that in Canada?
Well, I feel like I heard about that, I think, didn't, was it Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively had a plantation wedding or something?
Sounds right.
There was a celebrity couple who did it and then apologized after the fact, but I'm pretty sure that's where I heard about it from.
It's kind of like that's just how do you how do you not think that's a bad idea?
Yeah because I would say like the Canadian equivalent is probably residential schools and I just simply couldn't imagine returning to the grounds of a residential school and having a wedding there.
Yeah like it's it's definitely not a thing that that we really like I definitely know about it but Yeah, we don't have really quite the same.
It was Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively.
So that's amazing.
Confirm that.
Yeah, it's a thing.
It's like you guys might not have like, you know, plantation weddings, but like Lady Antebellum charted there, I'm sure.
Oh, yeah.
I mean, you know, what are they?
Are they just?
Lady A, dude.
Lady A. Yeah, Lady A now, right?
Yeah.
Oh, right.
They had a whole thing where someone already had that name and they tried to take it.
Yeah, they tried to pay off some British artist or something.
Yeah.
The American obsession with the era and just not accepting how bad it is is so weird.
One of the homies, Joe Vaughn, who listens, sends me pictures from different houses they're in.
In front of cotton on the wall, like cotton plant, like wreaths.
Oh my god.
Like cotton wreaths that like white people put in their houses.
Just like, what are you, what are you, what are you saying?
Like, do you know what you're doing?
And it's like a common thing throughout like America.
Just no, no idea what that looks like.
I think I just mailed some stickers to Jovan, so enjoy your stickers.
Yeah, slap him on, slap him on a cotton wreath for us.
Yeah, Paula Deen was hosting slavery-themed plantation parties where she would hire black staff to do white-glove service for them.
It's not that, quote, weird, because it's just obviously racist, you know?
Yeah.
And maybe you shouldn't say weird when you mean racist, but it still feels very weird that this is like a piece of culture, right?
You know, and I guess it's just, it's kind of the same exact thing as the Confederate flag.
You know, this is our culture.
No, this is our culture of liking people who own slaves.
That's just the culture we have.
You don't want to erase the nastiness, you know?
You don't want to erase the nastiness from history.
It's like this wasn't even your family's plantation.
I could see if it was like your family's property, right?
And you're like, this is our ancestral home.
And it's like, yeah, we did some slavery, but I do have like, uh, a connection to it.
So yeah, we're gonna have a, have a party here or have our wedding here or whatever.
This is just, you're like a fan.
It's like Disney fandom for slavery.
You're renting it.
Like it's.
I'm actually going to have a plantation party where I'm going to rent it and have a huge party at the plantation, but then we're just not going to leave.
Oh, that's a good idea.
We're just not going to leave.
We're going to stead that.
We're going to take it.
You could just trash the whole place, too.
You could just have a huge party and just get really fucked up and trash the entire place.
No, no.
We're going to steal it.
We're going to take the whole thing.
We're going to drive them out.
Then we're going to graze our cattle and have standoffs with the local government.
That's how we're going to have our comeuppance.
Well, you just got to make sure to have snipers posted.
That's the way you do it, apparently.
Duh!
It's actually a sniper-themed party, so I think that's going to be easy.
Yeah.
It says, it says Black Operators?
What are you, what is this about?
Don't, don't worry about it.
Yeah, we're the, it's the good kind of Black Ops.
It's just some good ol' boys.
It's just some good ol' boys is all.
So one plantation in Tennessee decided they were finally not going to host any more weddings or concerts at the headquarters for slavery.
And this is a Facebook post from Fox 17 News Nashville.
In a progressive look to the future and respectful nod to the past, a historical site in Williamson County is closing a chapter.
The Battle of Franklin Trust will no longer be booking weddings at the Carnton Home and Museum.
Weddings and events at Carter House and Ripa Villa are also coming to an end.
The changes are effective immediately, CEO Eric A. Jacobson wrote on the website.
Weddings currently scheduled will be the last.
Their summer concert series will also be retired, along with bootleggers bash.
Quote, sites like Carton, Carter House, and Ripa Villa have an important role to play in the future, Jacobson wrote.
Great social upheaval and slavery led to the American Civil War.
The war itself inflicted a terrible human cost, and we have charted a course for over a century and a half since then trying to come to grips with what happened.
BOTF will now be shifting their focus from marketing events to marketing visitors.
Organizers say weddings and parties once played a vital role in generating revenue at these historic sites, but it's no longer needed since tourism attendance is thriving.
That first sentence about the progressive look to the future, I'm just picturing so many old white guys reading that and fully having a heart attack.
Just those words alone were enough to do it.
I love that idea of, yeah, slavery is bad because slavery caused the Civil War and people died in that.
Yeah.
Yeah, that was sort of an interesting way to phrase it.
That's why slavery is bad.
And also just like, the truth is, you know, our tourism's so poppin' that we just don't have the, we don't need to do weddings and private events anymore.
We don't have to, we can just, we're just coasting.
Very progressive.
So many people want to come here just to check it out that we don't even need to like do that anymore.
It's very funny to be the CEO of a plantation.
The first thing when I read that, I was like, I don't like this.
Where do you work?
What's your job?
It's like it's like those guys on Facebook who have like, like CEO and like fucking shit up.
But this is like CEO and racism.
Yeah, it's done.
Yeah, I was reading about this Reynolds Lively wedding.
Really good.
Because they had it in 2012, and then they apologized for it in 2020.
Yeah, they said it was a giant fucking mistake.
They ended up getting remarried at their own... Their own plantation.
Their own house.
Yeah, their own plantation at the Reynolds Family Plantation in Vancouver, BC.
Yeah, they ended up getting married again in their own home, I guess to, like, forget the memories of the time that they... You can't erase history.
I'm sorry.
Yeah.
Like, and also too, it's also just that, you know, they, how could they not realize in the moment?
Like, I don't know how, cause Ryan Reynolds has a quote in this article from E!
Online where he talks about how, you know, Oh, like reframing and repatterning and like getting better at learning as part of like being alive.
And, you know, we're just going to constantly try to get better, but also, uh, the venue they got married at has, uh, has a, uh, A doc called Cotton Doc, and one of the cabins they got married in was on Slave Street.
What?
They got married on fucking Slave Street?
Yeah, right.
Well, hey, I mean, if you can describe marriage another way, I'd like to hear it.
I think it's really great that they honored the slaves by naming a street after them.
Yeah, it's that it features nine slave cabins referred to as Slave Street, like where the cabins are on.
Hold on, real quick.
This is actually a Mandalorian-themed plantation.
Oh, okay, yeah.
As we think it is.
It's actually okay.
Yeah, a lot of people didn't know about that.
They also, uh, their whole wedding sounds hilarious.
Their wedding planning was getting off the rails so they called in Martha Stewart to fix it.
She's like, Blake Lively's like, yeah I just called Martha Stewart and then she got, she got the train back on the tracks.
Martha Stewart showing up like the fucking wolf in Pulp Fiction.
Yeah.
And yeah, so yeah, this is the exact quote.
Shame works in weird ways, Reynolds reflected.
A giant fucking mistake like that can either cause you to shut down or it can reframe things and move you into action.
It doesn't mean you won't fuck up again, but repatterning and challenging lifelong social conditioning is a job that doesn't end.
For the couple, that meant marrying again at home years ago, he told the mag.
But more importantly, not just acknowledging their mistake, but pledging to do better moving forward.
They gifted a million dollars apiece to the NAACP Legal Defense Fund.
All right.
Shout out to my agent and my PR person.
They're really good.
So that's really cool.
Because the thing is, if you have a good team, then you can... My idea of being conscious is hiring the right people to do that for me.
And it's working, so thank you.
I can just imagine them talking about it, and they just keep saying Slav, because they just... It's got to be... It's Slav, right?
I think they're like telling the guests, oh no, just take a left on Slav, just take a left on Slav Street.
It's an Eastern European wedding.
Yeah, we're all going to be squatting for the wedding photos.
If you talk to the right white people, they will tell you that Slavs were the original slaves and that's where the name is derived from.
That is true, yeah.
So true.
So why don't you think about that, Tony, before you complain next time.
So yeah, of course, you were right.
I can't remember if it was Stefan who said it.
A bunch of heads did explode at the news that the plantation was no longer going to be hosting weddings.
Paula Killebrew said, the magnitude of stupidity is astounding.
All I can say is, go woke, go broke.
And it's like, yeah, do you, I mean, do you guys really want this fucking slave plantation to go out of business?
Because that's what's going to happen.
At least the wedding part is going to go out of business.
The rest is going to be fine.
But if that's what you want, you happy now?
Maybe Paula wanted to get married there.
Have you thought about that?
Maybe Paula's dreams are gone.
Any time, any day soon, her dapper land overseer was gonna sweep her off her feet.
Didn't they also say in the post or whatever, the news release, that they were doing very well, even not including weddings and stuff, just from tourism, so it was fine?
It was obviously a financial decision.
Yeah, it's the only reason they were able to do the, I guess, correct thing, was because they didn't have to continue making money on doing the awful thing.
I love when people say, like, go woke, go broke about, like, the National Football League or stuff like that.
The biggest sports league in the world.
Yeah.
Hey, but they showed Nike.
Remember?
Remember when they showed them?
Yeah.
Remember how Nike's doing?
They're doing horribly now, yeah.
That's all I'm hearing.
I see people in New Balances now.
I shouldn't get mad at this because it's like you're, again, trying to catch people in hypocrisy or whatever.
It's just like a waste of energy, but...
All the right-wing PR, the right-wing media blitz about how Netflix lost so many subscribers in the last month or whatever.
I don't know if you guys followed that, but it was like they lost millions of subscribers because they started charging more for their service.
Yes, I stopped.
That was exactly why I stopped using it.
And also, the stuff on there sucks.
It does suck and it's also like it's but it's so funny to see all these people be like well that's what you get when you go woke and it's like what are you even talking about what fucking woke shit on Netflix are you talking about are you talking about the fucking production studio that just had Dave Chappelle do an hour on against trans people and when people reacted negatively they fired them like is is that what you're that's the that's the thing that went broke you the they released your favorite comedian shit yeah
They didn't go woke, and they went broke.
Platforming a black man is going woke.
HBO Max, they're all doing great, right?
They would have stuff that presumably a right-wing idiot would think was woke as well.
They're going woke and not going broke.
It's one or the other, right?
Yeah, I mean Hulu, they have that show with that really fucking sexy line cook guy who's trying to make me be gay.
They gotta be losing money too.
I liked this one from Pete.
Pete said, it will never end.
People who were never slaves, mad at people who never owned slaves.
The majority of the current U.S.
population are a product of immigration well after the Civil War conflict.
Peace emoji, American flag emoji.
Did you know that black people aren't even a majority in this country and yet we're still upset about the fact that they were slaves?
I heard it's 13%.
I just I love those guys that it's like and it's the those are my favorite type of right wing guys the appeal to history guys those are always my my fave because it's just well it's they either do the like this is what history taught us like my dad always told us we could learn the most from history it's either that or it's the like We're not living in Time X, you know?
Like, no one has slaves.
You don't know anybody who has slaves.
Like, that's not even a real thing.
So, like, what are you talking about?
Like, yeah, maybe we had them before, but we don't now.
So, fuck you.
Like, I love any of those guys that start to try to evoke history to win an argument.
They love history.
Sorry, go ahead, Tony.
They also just have no idea of what time is.
They think that, okay, slavery ended and therefore the racism was done, forgetting that the Civil Rights Movement was only so many years ago.
Yeah, not even 100 years ago.
A lot of people are still alive from then.
The people who you look up in those stories, a lot of them are still alive or died very recently.
Like, you're not doing any type of analysis of anything here.
Yeah.
And it's like, you're still profiting off the idea.
No one's getting mad.
Like, no one's just, like, perpetually just fuming at that one point.
It's like, when it gets celebrated, like, that's weird.
Like, we're, like, profited off of.
Like, that's when it's weird, you know?
Yeah.
Plantations should all just be, like, donated to, like, I don't know, HBCUs or something like that.
Yeah.
Well, it's funny to be like, yeah, a history guy and be like, history is so important.
I fucking love it.
Also, none of it really mattered.
None of it had any ramifications echoing forward through the ages whatsoever.
No.
But the common theme as well with a lot of these replies is like, yeah, none of these people even own slaves.
And like, no one is making that argument.
Yeah.
No one is saying like, hey, we shouldn't have weddings here because they own slaves still.
I don't know if you guys knew this.
They still own slaves.
Like, no one is fucking saying that.
If you did own slaves, you know what the worst place to own slaves would be?
At a former plantation that everybody's going to all the time.
I feel like people would probably notice.
Yeah, if you were gonna do that, you'd probably hide it.
Maybe try to a little better.
You'd maybe, like, buy an island or something.
But it's like, yeah, this piece of history is important and it's almost like treating it as a little fair or a little event center is one of the reasons why we don't actually reckon with how bad the history actually fucking is.
It's almost like these places being a site of entertainment or cultural value for the oppressor race or the oppressor class Is contributing to, yeah, things not being able to heal.
It's funny too, because if there was an actual acknowledgement of history, you would never want to get married there because of the atrocities that occurred in that area.
The crimes against humanity that happened right there.
You would not want that.
You're for sure haunted.
There's no way that you're not haunted when you get married there.
The last response I wanted to read was quite a doozy.
This is from Sean Armstrong, whose profile pic is one of the central bankers.
I thought this was an old white guy, and then I clicked through to his profile and saw that his cover photo was the World Economic Forum logo, which is like the new, you know, Great Reset boogeyman for these Anti-semitic?
Yeah, like anti-semitic.
Like, they don't like capitalism when Jews do it.
Is basically their politics, right?
So I don't remember which banker this guy specifically is.
And if they don't like it, then Jews did it.
Right.
This guy's definitely a bad guy, but I wouldn't like be bothered to like focus on any individual bank.
I think that's kind of like a waste of time, you know, unless they're like really funny or cringe like Elon Musk or something like that.
But so yeah, that's his profile picture.
Sean Armstrong says quote.
So this is again a comment on the Fox 17 Facebook page on their post.
Quote, white guilt triggered by Fox 17 should be the headline, dot dot.
This is but one of many reasons our nation is falling apart before our very eyes.
White guilt will lead all races to poverty and hunger.
It's one of the most destructive political weapons ever invented.
Remember these words in 2023.
I don't think that's an election year.
Next year?
Yeah, I don't... It's in like six months?
It's just next year.
It's not like a...
It's not even like an off-year election.
It's an off-off year.
Yeah, I guess maybe he thinks something is going to happen in 2023.
But you know what?
I'm not going to be paying attention to it.
I'm going to be thinking about old shit.
I don't look at the news.
Hell yeah, keep that mind like a steel trap, dude.
Exactly.
I'm still going to be on the Ukraine war only.
Whatever else is happening, not interesting.
Oh yeah, I love like one of the worst things you can do for society is make me feel bad about anything.
Make me, like, reconsider my positions on anything.
That's, like, I feel, logically, that's one of the worst things we could do for this country.
Yeah, they just mean, like, by society, they, yeah, like you said, they just mean them.
Like, you're making me feel bad, and that's bad for me.
And I'm in society, so... I'm one of the biggest parts of it!
But they are, like, they are silently saying, like, hey, actually, take it a step further.
Like, don't only not feel guilty, but, like, be proud of it.
That's totally what's coded in there.
That's the funny thing too, because like we say, you didn't do that.
You don't want to take responsibility for it, but you also want credit for it.
Yeah, that's one of the things we find a lot on this show is that people want to deny any responsibility.
You know, I never owned slaves.
I didn't contribute to slavery, which is absolutely true.
But then they also want to take credit for the rest of their race supposedly building the country.
Yeah.
And it's like, no, neither of those are true.
I mean, the first one's true, but not in this bitter way.
You're still benefiting from it, you know?
But this whole, like, white guilt will lead all races to poverty, like, man.
White people not feeling bad about themselves was the linchpin.
That was the keystone that held together all the other races.
Stop making us feel bad or we will tank this economy.
Yeah, no, really, that's like what this fucking movement is.
It's like, stop making me feel bad or we'll burn the whole fucking thing down.
We will kill everybody and then have a picnic on their graves.
Ugh, God.
It's, I mean, it's like, it's, and it's also in its most charitable, uh, interpretation.
It's, you know, it's like manifest destiny or where it's like, oh, you know, we as like the superior race are the stewards of, of the, of the globe.
So, uh, don't get us upset or we'll do genocide.
Yeah.
That's yeah.
There are a lot of us.
I, I know we don't, I know we act like there's not, but there actually are.
Yeah.
That's what's funny, in this race war or whatever, these people never seem to count on the massive amounts of race traitors that will not be fighting on the white people's side.
You know what I mean?
It's not going to be like 100% of white people.
That's what they're assuming.
No, it's definitely not.
But it won't be that many because it's only ones with purple hair.
Oh, true, that's true.
So we already know there's like, I've only seen one in the wild.
I gotta get my hair dyed before the race war.
Yeah, yeah, sorry about that.
Just a heads up, it's gonna be real hard.
Once you, if you dye your hair purple, you will have gone woke and you will go broke after that.
I'm gonna be honest, my purple is washed out now, but I am absolutely broke.
I think there might be a correlation and causation there.
Yeah, once you go woke, you don't stop being broke.
Yeah.
Damn.
Okay, well, thanks everybody for listening.
Thank you to the Block Party for joining us for this.

OK, well, if you want to support us, just put everything you just heard out of your mind.
Go to patreon.com slash MinionDeathCult bonus episode every single week.
Last week's episode, I mean, one of my favorites.
We talked about Florida's new Facebook-generated policy of greasing the rails for veterans to take the place of teachers who have had to flee the state either due to poverty or because of LGBTQ discrimination from the state.
They've removed requirements for teachers to have a four-year degree instead of like paying them a living wage or anything like that.
So that now veteran, not just veterans, veteran spouses can become teachers without those qualifications.
So if you're looking for a career change in your veteran spouse, Florida, go mold the minds of our future.
So, deranged stuff.
I mean, I teach, and I've seen people with teaching degrees who aren't very good at it, so I can't even imagine.
Yeah, we had Kate Willett on that episode from Reply Guys.
Oh, nice, Kate's awesome.
