Alexander Edward and Tony Boswell dissect the finale of HBO's The Anarchist, highlighting a deleted scene where Jeff Berwick claims three earthly prohibitions, including speaking ill of those with small hats. They identify this visual cue as footage of Jewish men in yarmulkes while discussing Nick Cannon's alleged firing from Nickelodeon for using the word "Jew," which they argue transforms into a slur when spoken anti-Semitically. Ultimately, the hosts speculate that even if Cannon could freestyle the term, Berwick would likely do so as well, underscoring the show's provocative exploration of censorship and language.

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.

Hey everybody, it's your Patreon episode for the week.
Thank you as always for subscribing, for supporting us, for helping us push this thing out into the world.
You're like there, holding our hands, helping us breathe, and getting this episode out every week.
It's really been motivating, and I'm happy that we finally made it here to the culmination of The Anarchist.
I don't think this could have ended any other way besides the way it did and that we're going to talk about it, so I am very excited for those reasons.
Yeah, I'm pleasantly surprised.
It ended the way I thought it would, but even more.
Even more so.
Even harder, yeah.
Yeah, this episode, yeah, this is the final episode of the Anarchist miniseries on HBO that we've been covering episode by episode, which I did not intend to do at the beginning, but there was just too much stuff to watch and talk about.
And this episode is no exception.
It's the finale and it ends with a bang.
Sure does.
That's for sure.
So, I thought, why not start off with a bang with some bonus material?
Can't Say That Word00:03:08
I've been waiting.
Some supplemental bonus material that I'm pretty sure will be included in the special features on the Blu-ray release of The Anarchist.
The Criterion Edition?
This is definitely, yeah, this will be on the Criterion Collection.
Yeah, this is definitely something filmmaker Todd Schramke and HBO want you to hear and see.
This is just a delight for the real fans out there.
So let's go ahead and listen.
This is Jeff Berwick.
This is a deleted scene from The Anarchist of Jeff Berwick in his Mexican suburban neighborhood walking around with the selfie stick popped collar on his baby blue polo.
He's wearing the sort of 80s style plastic aviators and he's got, yeah, a shitty haircut too.
Okay, let's listen to what Jeff Berwick, founder of Anarchapoco, one of the main characters of the series, has to say.
And of course, what are the two things?
There's only about two things.
Well, there's three sort of things on earth you can't do, right?
One is you can't talk badly About those guys with the small little hats.
Oh!
So I'm gonna start, uh, not, what, what are you, do you, Shriners?
You think that's who he's talking about?
He's definitely not talking about Terrence K. Williams.
Because that's a giant hat.
So who has a tiny, tiny little, who has tiny hats?
I'm, I'm, yeah, probably the Shriners.
Those little guys with the tassels.
He's talking about the Munchkins from Munchkinland.
You're not allowed to criticize, oh, just because they're, they all died.
Not allowed to talk bad about... No, when he says tiny hats, it's unclear what he means, but the video does include a cut to a bunch of Jewish people in yarmulkes.
About, you know, four or five Jewish people wearing... Jewish, you know, men wearing yarmulkes.
Let's continue to listen to Jeff.
Wow.
Even... What's his name?
That... He's on Nickelodeon.
Nick Cannon.
He was kicked off because he talked about how those guys with the little hats aren't actually that word that you're not allowed to say.
Okay, I'm going to stop right there.
I love that.
You're not allowed to say that word.
It's the word you're not allowed to say because when I say it, it becomes a slur for some reason.
I don't remember what Nick Cannon said.
I remember he got in trouble for being anti-Semitic and it was bad.
Well, Jeff will explain, but I just love, even Nick Cannon, even Nick Cannon got in trouble for talking about the word that you can't say, which is Jew.
Nick Cannon?
Host of Wild N' Out?
Yeah.
I'm pretty sure he can say anything, and if he can't say it, what if he were to freestyle the word?
He probably still can't even do that.
Fuck.
Because then Jeff Berwick would do it too, if that was an option.
