The liberals are destroying California and conservative humor gone awry.
Conservative humor gone awry is going to fascist-phonia 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.
- Okay, I'm Alexander Edward.
And I'm Tony Boswell.
And we are Minion Death Cult.
The world is ending.
A frickin' epic 70s rock band going woke is responsible.
We're documenting.
Not the 70s rockers.
No.
Not the 70s rockers.
Is anything sacred left?
Anything?
We'll find out on this episode.
First, I wanted to start off with a video that's been going viral.
And I'm just pulling here a... What is this?
This is from clownworld underscore on Twitter.
What?
So be prepared for some freaking clownish behavior.
It looks like clownworld underscore took a TikTok and posted it to Twitter, so that's where I saw it.
But a lot of people saw this TikTok, and it's a young woman talking to her camera like people do on TikTok, and let's just go ahead and let her cook.
Why are we not talking about how fucking sick a 40-hour work week is?
I'm so sorry.
So you're telling me that I have to wake up at the fucking butt crack of dawn every single day, go and work somewhere that has fluorescent lighting, is cold and uncomfortable for the entirety of the day, and do that five times a week?! !
That sounds nice to me.
I love... I bet it does.
I love a fluorescent lit office full of other workers who have already, like, what do you call it, just accepted defeat?
Just accepted that this is what they have to do and are just, you know, trying to get through the day without making eye contact with you.
Yeah, their eyes are glazed over.
That sounds nice to me, actually.
Give it to me.
No, like, that's fucking sick.
Like, you guys are mentally ill.
Like, please get diagnosed.
Wow, just more of TikTok.
More of TikTok trying to self-diagnose, oh, you're mentally ill just because you work 40 hours a week.
I'm sick of this.
Oh, yeah, I have autism because fluorescent lights bother me.
Yeah, we've heard it before, TikTok, all right?
Not sympathetic.
Yeah.
My old, my chill-ass California brain did in fact read this.
I thought that she was saying how fucking cool, how fucking cool a 40-hour work week was.
But no.
Sick as in like sick, sick in the head.
Sick in the head working, yeah.
Don't you understand like these There's like squeaky chairs everywhere, the clicking and clacking of keyboards.
It's just... It is pretty sick.
It's pretty fucked up.
Yeah, Henry Ford, scrolling through his TikTok, seeing a young, you know, conventionally attractive woman talk about how frickin' sick 40-hour work week is, and he's like, hell yeah, and he clicks on it, but it's all negative.
Like, not his day.
It's all what?
Yeah.
Um...
I don't know.
She's right.
I don't have much to say about her.
Maybe she said it in a way you didn't like it because she's a young woman and you don't like hearing young women speak, but she's right.
True.
She's right.
The 40-hour workweek sucks.
Who's going to go to bat for the 40-hour workweek?
Unfortunately, you don't have to cast a very wide net to find out who that is.
Oh yeah, who could possibly think the 40-hour work week is the bee's knees?
I freaking love it.
Just give me more.
Give me some more of that.
Bearded Operator, a TikTok user by the name of Bearded Operator, who's Doing a TikTok, I guess instead of operating, he's here to tell us, he's here to give an epic clap back to the girl who doesn't like working in an office.
And I think it's gonna play a clip of her video and he's gonna cut her off pretty alpha style.
Let's hear.
Talking about how fucking sick a 40 hour work week is.
All of my blue collar brothers right now are stifling a laugh that would just drain the soul out of that kid.
Yeah, man, this one got all my blue-collar homies laughing.
Yeah, you know how the laugh drains the soul out of kids?
I mean... Is that a thing?
Yeah, if you like go up and laugh in a young woman's face, laugh aggressively, I guess, maybe, she might be weirded out by that.
Because it would be like a fake laugh, like a fake aggressive laugh.
Yeah, it would be a laugh that masks just the emptiness you feel inside.
Yeah.
That kid.
Like, 40 hours.
How many of you heard in your head, 40 hours?
I remember my first part-time job.
Yeah, you know what?
They should classify 40 hours as a part-time job so employers don't have to give us benefits anymore.
That's what I think.
That'd be cool.
Let's keep it real.
Do you want my schedule, kid?
You want my schedule?
I haven't heard it yet.
I'm gonna say no.
I'm going to say no, I hope.
I'm going to guess it's going to be a no.
Because you're really mad about a 40-hour work week.
And so I don't think I'm going to.
Also, you just kind of look like the kind of guy who I don't want to hear about your work ethic.
Yeah, he's got a shaved bald head and a big beard.
That's half of his personality.
The beard is one half of his personality.
We're about to hear the other half of his personality.
And it's all about his schedule.
Guys like this are why I don't have a beard now.
like guys like this got way too excited over my beard and i don't want to affiliate with those guys anymore schedule like i will work 40 to 50 hours doing land development you know roads water power concrete you take a pick whatever happens
then i work 16 to 20 hours as a bouncer and then when i'm done with that i go spend 10 to 15 hours de-icing 22 acres of parking lot for my buddy who bought the silver lake mall like what What is that?
What is that fleck?
Like, that, that is that job.
Is, like, the most capitalism job ever.
Which one?
De-icing parking lots?
For his buddy who bought the Silver Lake Mall.
Mall.
Also, your first job, he said is, like, land development?
That should be the one that takes care of everything else.
And, I don't, there is no bouncing job that you work 15-20 hours that's, like, You're doing that for the love now.
You're doing that for the love of bouncing.
Yeah, okay.
Because the second I was doing any type of construction or anything like that, I was out of bouncing.
I was not doing both.
Yeah, I mean, there's a million things to pick apart from this fucking video.
In just like five seconds, this guy said way too much about himself.
Um, okay.
Starting off, like you said, Tony, 40 to 50 hours in fucking land development?
Bro, what are you getting paid?
What are you getting paid in land development that that's, that that's not enough?
Yeah.
Uh, 16 to 20 hours bouncing?
Bouncing?
I've never done it.
You've done it, Tony.
Doesn't seem like a fun job.
Doesn't seem like a job I would do unless I really needed the money.
Well, the thing is, there's two kinds of bouncers.
There's ones who need the money and ones who love to start shit.
Because those do exist.
Like, you've felt like the bouncer was being an asshole.
The thing is, he was.
Because that's why he has the job.
So he can be an asshole.
This guy feels like the kind of guy who likes to be...
A tough guy, but in a position where he's supposed to be.
So that's why he goes there.
He goes there to punch people.
I don't know.
That's why he has the job.
A guy who's picking on a young woman for not wanting to work in an office 40 hours of her life a week.
Doesn't sound like the guy who just starts shit out of nowhere.
Doesn't seem like a guy who desperately needs attention and validation.
Oh, please pick me.
I work 85 hours a week.
Do you remember the door guy at the Underground?
Yeah.
Who had a beard?
Yeah.
Same energy.
Yeah.
Same energy.
Yeah.
It's a fine line with bouncers, because it's like, you want to be cool with them, but you also don't want to get to know them that well.
Yeah.
Good call.
I don't need to be, like, attached to whatever you're doing tonight.
I'm just, you know, going to be friendly, I think.
Yeah.
The bartender, on the other hand, they can give me drinks.
You can't give me a drink.
You're the bouncer.
But they can get your underage girlfriend in the door, though.
That's true.
Just kidding.
My girlfriend is only a couple months younger than me, so don't don't come at me.
Don't come after me, TikTok.
The last one, what was it?
12 hours de-icing my buddy's mall that he just bought?
Hey, it's the year 2022, 2023 actually, and my buddy just bought a mall.
And you know what?
He's a little mall poor right now, so he couldn't afford to pay anyone else to ice his fucking parking lot for all the cars that are definitely going to this mall every day.
That's so, yeah, 20 hours.
And also, that's seasonal, bud.
So, let's be real.
I just, like, I can't imagine bragging about any, what do you do?
Man, this is your whole life.
That's, it's fine if you want, like, if this means something to you, all of this work and labor.
But other people like to do things, like, I don't know, have a meaningful relationship with a significant other.
Or, I don't know, maybe go to the mall.
Maybe not, like, spend your time in the parking lot shoveling de-icer onto the ground.
It's just so sad.
Like, he should be furious.
He should be furious right now on her side.
He should be mad at so many people, just not her.
Let me see.
Yeah, there's 10 seconds left in this video.
40 hours is a hobby!
That's not even a job, that's a ho- Hey, what kind of hobbies do you have, dude?
Yeah, you gotta tell me about your hobbies.
Do you have anything you like?
Do you have anything that makes you happy?
I mean, do you- I guess, like, yelling?
Yelling at people on TikTok?
It's funny, I thought maybe- I thought maybe operator meant, like, who's into guns, but I don't think he's into guns.
I think he's talking about, like, operating the equipment when he does the roads.
He's got a beard, though.
That's true.
That's true.
There's probably a gun in there.
A beard is the most tactical piece of the facial hair.
Yeah.
Get it together, kid.
So he's kind of got a cheery, just, hey, get it together, kid.
Wow, I remember my first parts.
He's trying to be jovial and somewhat jocular about this schooling that he's doing.
But it's so embarrassing, man.
So I was thinking about what she said, what she's talking about.
She's talking about working in an office with fluorescent lights.
and i don't know you know only maybe only 90s kids will remember uh i can name like three movies off the top of my head that were about how bad it was to work in an office with fluorescent lights how how uh maddening that is uh let's see office space for one Yeah.
A movie about how working in an office is so soul-sucking that he gets hypnotized and then finally stops caring about his office job.
And he feels a lot better, actually.
Yeah, because it's like stealing from him, right?
That's at the end.
But leading up to that whole thing is some... I think it's Rob Reiner.
No, it's not him.
Anyway, a psychiatrist hypnotizes him to stop caring about work so much.
To stop investing his mortal soul into this draining act, and he feels better for it.
And he's actually pretty cool.
He's super cool.
And this guy saw that movie and was like, no, you should be like...
You should be like Barry Manilow.
What's that guy's name?
What's the other guy's?
You should be like the guy who's constantly trying to do his best to get noticed by the bosses.
Another movie.
Fight Club.
Remember Fight Club?
Yeah.
Remember when you were ready to do terrorism over the 40-hour work week?
Yeah!
They fucking destroy credit card debt at the end of that movie.
They blow up the credit card companies, wiping clean everybody's debt, and you're like, that's not right.
Those credit card executives worked hard to type those numbers into a spreadsheet.
Yeah.
Sometimes I lose sleep thinking about, like, how does one blow up the cloud?
They're real servers.
How does that work?
They're real servers.
I think there's just more of them.
You just got to get more of them.
Okay.
Okay.
More so.
Yeah, like remember when I think it's Edward Norton gets called into his manager's office and he's not doing a good enough job and so he frames his manager for assault by kicking his own ass?
Yeah, this guy would be like, oh no, please sir, I love you.
I love you, manager.
Please don't fire me.
It would be the same scene but it would be as like a self-flagellation instead of like a threatening to it's like this is why I deserve my bad.
Yeah.
I'm gonna hurt myself so I don't forget.
And then finally this this one like came to me instantly because of you know the Andrew Tate nonsense and and the The elites that are conspiring behind the scenes to keep us within a system, keep us within a matrix of sorts.
And yeah, it just, it like, The Matrix is a movie about how working in an office sucks ass.
That's like, that's what The Matrix is about.
And this, I'm just picturing this girl making a TikTok and being like, yeah, I was complaining about my office job.
And then two people in suits, They put a robotic centipede inside my belly to try and make me more docile.
And this guy's like, I remember my first full body massage.
He's like, I bet they had to hold you down when they put that centipede in there, huh?
No, I mean, they just volunteered to stay in the Matrix.
They said, well, I had two choices.
You know, I could either forget how a steak tasted or I could continue to live the lie.
And now I just eat steak.
Yeah, he was like, that goddamn woke Morpheus woke me up.
He was like, let's go.
And I was like, brother, I called the nearest robot over and I said, hook me up to another pod.
I bet I could power two of these things for you.
You think I'm a bad?
Oh, you thought I was a triple A. Turns out I'm a fucking D, brother.
Hook me up to five more, baby.
I'm sorry, I've been unplugging to go to my other two jobs.
You want me to remain plugged in to go to my other two jobs?
I gotta go de-ice a fucking parking lot.
That's a lot of energy to leech off me if you want.
Like this girl, this woman, correctly identified a fucked up system.
She correctly identified an exploitative system.
She didn't go into detail, she just said it sucks, which is accurate.
Yeah.
And you guys, you like work ethic guys, are like the agents from the Matrix taking over the bodies of fellow workers in order to reinforce the system with epic TikTok clapbacks about how cool it is to actually work 80 hours a week.
You guys are like the fucking white blood cells rising up to kill the interloper.
You know what I mean?
To preserve the system.
You guys are literally the foot soldiers of this exploitative system.
And the sad thing is...
I think you like it.
I think you don't have anything else in your life worth doing.
So you think everybody else should have to work 85 hours a week.
Because you're definitely making more than enough money.
Yeah.
Well, just like the beard, you make it part of your identity.
You know, like, because the thing is, she wasn't talking about him at all, because she's talking about, like, office, probably administrative work, or even, like, you know, creative type work that happens inside of the building.
Who, that's a whole different struggle.
We proved through the pandemic that you don't have to go to the office for a lot of that stuff.
You could do a lot of that stuff outside even, you know?
But even if given the opportunity, you say, hey man, we'll pay you the same amount you make at all those jobs if you work 40 hours a week in this office.
He would say, nope, that's too monotonous.
I can't turn my brain off that way.
So it's like, dude, we're not even talking about you.
But that's part of his personality.
He's like, I got to be out.
I got to be outside.
Right.
Actually, every single one of his jobs is outside.
Right.
That's what I'm saying.
Like the default position would be like, oh, it does suck to work in an office.
Office culture sucks ass.
The environment sucks ass.
All of that stuff is true.
You couldn't get this guy to admit that working in an office behind a desk is cool, actually.
But... Yeah.
Like we've seen with so many of these reactionaries, their natural instinct to, like, on one hand, is overwhelmed by the far greater natural instinct towards, like, licking boots.
Towards preserving the status quo.
Towards preserving the hierarchy.
Towards, like, bragging about their own, like, their own exploitation.
Um, yeah, because I work, I work 40 to 50 hours a week, but I work outside, so it's a lot better, but I don't, I don't need all them hours.
I, I would, I would, I think, I think we could do, uh, more with less, personally.
I think, absolutely.
It makes you wonder, though, because, like, he is, he does have some money.
Some money is being made, you know?
So, like, what, what is he doing with that?
What's his life like?
You know, what is, what is his life like?
Does, do you, do you think he has, like, I bet you he has like a toy hauler.
But like doesn't really use it.
He just has a toy hauler.
Yeah I mean he's probably got a big truck that he drives a couple miles to work.
Everywhere.
Yeah.
So worth it actually.
worth it in my opinion.
Working 9 to 5 What a way to make a living Barely getting by It's all taking and no giving Biggest use your mind And you never get credit It's enough to drive you Crazy if you let it 9 to 5 They got you where they want you There's a better life And you think about it, don't you?
It's a rich man's game No matter what they call it And you spend your life Put money in your wallet 9 to 5 Alright, moving on to a story that began a couple weeks ago Or maybe it was just last week.
This is a story that I personally did not want to cover because it's fucked up.
It's too depressing.
A lot of times when I'm programming the show, deciding what we should talk about, I see something in the news and I'm like, let's give it another twist in the story.
Before I want to actually talk about it.
Because, for instance, this story about the San Francisco art gallery owner hosing down the homeless woman who was just sitting on the sidewalk because he was annoyed with her presence in the middle of winter.
And, you know, you're thinking, oh, California, not that bad.
This is northern California and It's still winter.
It's still water.
You're exposed.
All of, like, she had belongings around her that got drenched as well.
She ended up in the hospital because of this.
A truly, like, awful display of inhumanity, and I couldn't really stomach talking about positive reactions to such I'm reading here from the Daily Wire.
Like real evil.
Until now, it was reported that this guy was arrested.
Finally.
Good, good.
Okay, I'm reading here from the Daily Wire.
San Francisco art gallery owner arrested after hosing down homeless woman.
And I couldn't help but notice that for this story, they just used a stock Getty image of a hose squirting water instead of the very readily available image of the man spraying this homeless woman with hose water.
It's a very striking image because if you haven't seen the video, I don't necessarily recommend watching it, but
The video is him kicking back like in in sort of like a cowboy pose with uh you know he's he's standing up but his legs are kind of crossed and he's got one toe resting on the pavement and he's kind of leaning back against a rail casually spraying down a homeless woman mentally ill homeless woman with hose water um like i don't know how straightest look on his face
I don't know how more clearly you could say that this was an act of cruelty.
He's very clearly not being attacked.
He's not being approached or anything.
He's casually doing this heinous act.
But they didn't want to include that image in this Breitbart article, or excuse me, Daily Wire article, I guess.
A San Francisco art gallery owner hosed down a homeless woman whom he said refused to move from his storefront.
She's not on his storefront, by the way.
She is on the sidewalk, sitting up against a tree that's at the curb.
Had turned over garbage cans, oh no, and become belligerent, prompting the city to arrest him and charge him with battery.
Yeah, I think a lot worse should happen to this guy, personally.
Yeah yeah I saw some like I was so kind of frustrated because I saw some uh
some tweet where somebody local to there was like wagging their finger at this guy's face and that somebody was like yeah someone told him like whatever happens this guy shouldn't be on tape yeah whatever happens the guy we shouldn't be taking pictures out there shouldn't be video of it but it should happen to this guy well it's one of those things like where he should get he should get it to every degree he should get the stuff that yes that's you know criminal and he should get the stuff that's just public shaming like this guy should not be able to show his fucking face and like
You know, I'm sure, you know, this is an art gallery owner in San Francisco.
I don't know much about him personally.
He's an old, he's an old man, too.
He's 71, but he still looks spry, spry enough to do this.
Yeah.
I don't know too much about him, but I'm willing to bet, you know, he's not far off from most wealthy liberals in San Francisco who will, of course, like say how bad this is and that he shouldn't have done it.
But Could probably be pushed to do the same thing.
I mean, they just want the cops to do this kind of stuff.
They just don't want to not have to do it themselves.
This guy fancies himself an abolitionist.
He's like, I don't call the police, OK?
All right.
Collier Gwynn, the owner of Foster Gwynn Art Gallery, sprayed the homeless woman on January 9th.
When interviewed after a video of the incident went viral, he said, I totally understand what an awful thing that is to do, but I also understand what an awful thing it is to leave her on the streets.
Because if you leave her on the streets, people like me are going to do this kind of stuff to her.
Yeah.
It's inhumane.
What do you mean?
What do you mean?
You're saying some wild shit, my man.
So are you saying get her housing?
Is that what you're saying?
Because I don't think it is.
Adding that repeated attempts had been made to help the woman for weeks before the incident.
I said, quote, you have to move.
I cannot clean the street.
Move down, Gwen told the San Francisco Chronicle.
She starts screaming belligerent things, spitting, yelling at me.
Yeah, that's why you mind your own fucking business, dude.
Literally mind your own business.
Uh, at that point, she was so out of control, I spray her with the hose and say, move, move, I will help you.
Uh, quote.
I've been here- And like- Yeah, go ahead.
How out of control could she have been?
She's sitting down in the picture and the videos I've seen.
She's being annoying, Tony.
How out of control?
She's being annoying.
Yeah.
I gotta spray her off this sidewalk.
I don't care about your livelihood.
I've been here for 40 years, he told a San Francisco resident.
We have tons of homeless.
It's a cool bragging point, dude.
But they haven't been in a situation where they get that violent within 10 days of the neighborhood trying to do something.
We have been able to get them taken to a shelter, which they leave immediately.
No evidence of her being violent, I will say.
I haven't even read a report of her being violent except for tipping over trash cans.
And again, that's a fucking report in Daily Wire, so who knows if that's even true.
I've listened to her talk to the people and saying, quote, no, this is the way I want to live.
My idea of cleanliness is not your idea of cleanliness, the resident replied.
Yeah, that definitely sounds like something a homeless person would say and not something a wealthy San Francisco liberal would say about the homeless people.
And it's also, if they did say that, then like, respect that?
You know?
Sure.
Quote, we called the police.
There must be 25 calls on record, Gwen said later.
It's two days in a homeless shelter.
It's two days in a jail.
And then they drop them back off on the street.
Yeah, it's almost like jail is not an appropriate solution to homelessness and poverty and mental illness, man.
Yeah, I'm sure those places aren't means tested.
I'm sure that, you know, like, come on now, there's no actual help here.
There's just like qualitative type help that you can maybe get if you act right to their standards.
Yeah, if you act right and you don't do drugs and you throw your belongings away at the door.
Yeah.
And then inside where you might be further subject to assault and battery.
The quote continues, this woman is, it's a very, very sad situation and she's very psychotic.
Cool, man.
This is like, it's such a sad situation.
It's so sad.
She's like, she's suffering from mental illness.
That's why I had to spray her with the hose.
Yeah.
What an awful, awful way to think.
Quote, I find it hard to apologize when we've had no help with this situation, he concluded.
It's so funny, like, I'll never understand the blinkers that some people put on where you're complaining about your lack of help.
You're complaining about the lack of help you receive in eliminating undesirable people from the sidewalk.
What the fuck is wrong with you, man?
You own a fucking art gallery in San Francisco.
You deserve less help.
Whatever help you're getting, take that shit away from you.
Give it to her right now, man.
Ah, fuck you, dude.
And it sucks because he probably is getting help.
You know, he probably is getting help.
He probably gets, like, weird grants and shit.
Like, everything about that.
You know what?
I mean, you're supposed to.
This is what sucks.
This is, like, you know, pure.
This is capitalism synthesized, right?
Like, this guy probably doesn't really care about art from any type of genuine means.
Because I feel like if you do like art, you don't like hoes down house people.
If only, yeah.
Cause you like, you know, you're supposed to like see the beauty in things, you know?
Or I mean, if you do, if you, if you do, you at least like record it, you know?
Like if you're that kind of fucking weirdo, you at least record it, put it in your skate video.
Um, but it's like, fuck you dude.
I hope, I hope he has to figure out a new lifestyle because no one wants to show in his gallery anymore.
I think it might be closed.
I think the gallery closed, which is good.
No, I agree with you, Tony.
I've never heard of an artist being a bad person.
That's true.
No, no.
You know what I mean?
Let alone gallery owners.
Gallery owners are always like high quality people.
That's what I mean.
There's a lot of people involved in these things who suck.
I've looked at my entire CD and record collection and Spotify history.
I've searched for a bad person just to make sure I wasn't listening to anybody bad and I've never found them.
I actually have a filter on my... I have like a parental guide that just makes sure I can't listen to anybody bad on Spotify.
That's good.
It says nope.
Yeah.
Because he's doing this for his business, to save face on his business, to keep his business looking clean, to make money.
Right.
That's the whole gist of it.
Well, not only that, not only does he have a profit motive in abusing this woman, Which is a symptom of capitalism for sure.
Another symptom of capitalism, or at least like neoliberal austerity capitalism, which is what we're all currently experiencing, what it does is it leaves people to their own devices.
It doesn't provide shelter, doesn't provide food, doesn't provide housing, doesn't provide social services like mental health services or just even, you know, physical health services at all.
Instead, what it does is it allows for people like this to take matters into their own hands.
And because letting stuff, letting homeless, and it feels weird to talk about homelessness in an abstract way like this.
I don't mean to like talk about it in like a clinical or academic way because it really is a heartbreaking situation.
But if you leave problems like homelessness alone, oftentimes the side effect, instead of people getting together and demanding that their government actually do something for these people, instead what you get is the people becoming desensitized.
To seeing the homeless, to seeing people hurting, to seeing people going without, struggling, failing in society.
And it hardens your heart towards these people, and it hardens your heart towards the negative aspects of capitalism.
And you learn to associate failure within capitalism to these undesirable people that are annoying to you, or that aren't nice to look at, Wow, I gotta look at this lady on the floor with all her stuff around her?
God, that sucks.
And this is why when people, you know, maybe you've heard that, I don't remember the exact pithy phrase, whatever it is, but it's what people mean when they say fascism comes to the rescue of capitalism.
And it's what people mean when they say, oh, the phrase is, prick a, cut a liberal and a fascist will bleed.
This is the neoliberal solution.
This is the capitalistic solution to homelessness.
There is no other capitalistic solution.
This is what will happen if we refuse to address these concerns.
And we all know it, and it's a terrifying feeling.
Yeah, I'm sure there's part of him that's like, this was tough love.
This is me giving them a wake-up call.
That's what I'm saying.
That's exactly what you're saying, too.
That's how they start seeing things.
That's how things get pivoted.
Yeah.
And it's true.
I think people really have been... People do just see tents now.
They don't see why the tents are there.
And it's really sad.
It's really fucking sad.
It becomes a, quote, problem that we all have to deal with.
And it's the same thing about companies using low-paid employees to take all the complaints of the customer, to have to sit there and listen to the customer about how The fucking airline cancelled my flight for no reason, the airline won't book my flight again, or this, that, and other, this part of the supply chain's fucked because you're doing a just-in-time system and now somebody who makes, you know, eight dollars an hour or whatever
You get to beat them up.
You get to verbally vent all your frustrations at them, and the system continues.
That's the way it's designed.
And in this analogy, that's the homeless people.
They get to be the fucking sin eaters for society.
They get to take the lumps of everybody.
This last quote is amazing.
Following the incident, community and religious leaders, including San Francisco DA Brooke Jenkins, attended the event to discuss the fallout, and Gwen's store was vandalized.
Gwen offered an apology for the initial incident, saying, quote, "There's a breaking point.
"I have the video to constantly remind me "that this is a large cross to bear." - Sure?
Like, what the fuck, man?
So there is still no, like, any sense of, like, what I did was fucked up.
It's like, oh, I have to live with the fact that I did it.
Not that what I did was fucked up, but I have to live with the fact that I did it.
Yeah, that you guys know I did it.
It's his cross to bear.
Even when he's supposedly apologizing or admitting he's wrong, it's still framed in a way where he's the victim and he has to bravely struggle through this problem that was just out of his hands.
He was pushed too far.
That's the Daily Wire article about this, you know, obviously a pretty sympathetic article.
It's very funny, you know, because, like, Daily Wire is obviously owned by Ben Shapiro.
It's, you know, he's editor-in-chief or whatever of this publication.
Somebody who just brays incessantly about Western Christian Judeo values siding with a San Francisco art gallery owner Assaulting a homeless woman, assaulting a mentally ill homeless woman.
I mean, this is like, you don't, you see, this isn't anything new.
You know, the, the evangelical right, uh, citing literally against the poor and hungry and meek.
Uh, but it's just every time I see it, it's just like staggering to me.
Yeah it sucks because I mean I know so many people you know who like that's the one that's one of the things that did stick from you know being raised catholic was like empathy and um you know like helping out the people who are like on house or people who are going through it that's like the one thing that stuck and um yeah I don't know I think it's gotten worse lately.
I think it's gotten more separated lately.
It has gotten worse.
More people are falling through the cracks.
It's gotten worse for a lot of people.
And people who insist that this economic system is the right way to do things have nowhere else to go but to blame the people for falling through the cracks.
And then the normal, formerly apolitical people Yeah, they have to deal with the fact that maybe they'll get run up on by a mentally ill person who scares them, or maybe they'll get yelled at, or maybe there'll be somebody sleeping in their doorway when they try to go out in the morning.
And these things aren't the end of the world, but I can see how they would be upsetting to people, obviously.
And nobody's doing anything about it.
You know what I mean?
Nobody is actually taking the problem seriously, so it's left to, like I said, apolitical people to formulate a judgment, and their judgment is like, well, that person's bad.
Yeah.
Because, yeah, when it is up to, like, up to, you know, for all intents and purposes, like, the proletariat, there are only a couple options.
It's like, ignore them, feed them, spray them with a hose.
Like those are like the three options.
This is going to be the outcome sometimes.
I think one of the reasons why it's allowed to remain is because what it also does is it's this really poor class analysis where people who are Scraping by living paycheck to paycheck see on house people who are struggling Openly and so they they are just grateful for what they have Yeah, even though what they have is still not what it should be.
Yeah, but you know your boss gets to tell you Cool, dude, like you don't you don't like that.
I only give you 27 hours a week.
You don't like that Well go find another job or hit the streets.
Yeah, and So that reminder is always there.
One of the things that maintains the status quo is that harsh visual reminder in front of us all the time to be grateful for the bullshit we have.
You're absolutely right.
That's a very valid analysis of capitalism.
That's a very valid analysis of capitalism.
And it's not only does it serve as like a policing mechanism or just a, you know, this is like, you know, this is what could happen to you if you don't toe the line, people.
Yeah.
Not only is it, is it serve that function, this is also, it's called surplus labor.
These are people who are out of the labor market, you know, and I, and let me, let me rephrase that.
Some of these people are out of the labor market.
Like something like 40% of homeless people are still working and can't afford to, you know, Live indoors.
But for the ones who are out of the labor market, they're your competition.
Like you said, Tony, if you decide the pay's not enough, okay, I'll go get fucking Joe.
Joe on the corner.
No problem.
I'll go get Joe.
Come in here.
So it serves to discipline the workers in that way as well.
So I saw, you know, in my Facebook feed, I saw an article from the New York Times about this gallery owner being arrested.
And if you go to like the responses, you know, like the likes and loves and all that, majority of them were positive.
People liked that this asshole got punished for what he did.
However, the top comments, not so sympathetic.
Not so sympathetic with the homeless woman.
Daniel says, it's mean.
So yeah, spraying a woman in cold weather on the homeless woman is mean, but so is defecating and urinating outside someone's business every day and scaring off their customers with violent behavior.
Again, no evidence that this is what happened.
You just see an unhoused person.
You're like, oh yeah, they're probably like a sort of Tasmanian devil type figure.
Tasmanian devil crossed with a chimpanzee at a zoo, spinning around, flinging their fecal matter at everyone and everything around them.
Correct?
I don't think I could have done what this guy did, but I don't blame him either.
He's just got more guts than I do.
I would have loved to do this.
You guys got more grit.
Yeah.
Let me go on the record.
Let me go on the record here.
running a business and dealing with homeless every single day. - Yeah. - I, let me go on the record.
Let me go on the record here.
I don't care about your business.
I give, while there's homeless people, fuck your business.
Legit, I don't fucking care about your business over the lives of real human beings.
Are you fucking kidding me?
Man, fuck your business.
If it's so easy to go out and get a job, you can do that.
Fuck your business.
Go out and get a real job.
I don't give a fuck about your business or how hard, rampant homelessness makes your business to operate.
Yeah, one of the things that's so wild about this country we live in is, why do you think you think people poop and piss outside?
It's because you can't use any public toilets.
Public toilets don't exist.
Like, I was just in a situation recently where I, like, I just needed to stop at the liquor store, and then the little smoke shop, get some papers, and then I was gonna get a snack at the coffee shop, all in one little mini mall, right?
Not one place would let me use the restroom, even as a paying customer.
And I'm like, damn bro, oh I gotta go to Marshall's now?
I gotta go to Marshall's to take a shit?
But typically people who own a house can't even go into Marshall's.
So what are you saying?
You're right.
Don't you see how fucked this is?
If you're worried about poop and pee outside, you're not worried about the right thing.
Like, you should be like, let's get some bathrooms and then we can go from there.
Also, if you're seeing this happening and you're identifying with the guy spraying...
I've read this story the other day about a bunch of Romans that were whipping this guy.
He didn't have a shirt on, he was kind of carrying a big cross, and I thought, God, how awful must it have been to be those Romans to have to whip that guy?
Man, sucks for them.
That must have been a real bad guy if they made him carry his own cross.
Like, bro, you're not supposed to identify with the villains in the story, man.
Jessica Smith says... That's when they get real.
That's when they get honest and they're like, yeah, he was a black guy carrying a cross.
It's the first time they're being honest about what Jesus looks like.
They just didn't realize they're talking about the same guy.
Jessica Smith says, read the story before commenting.
It's not like she was some sweet homeless woman.
It's not one of those good homeless women we all like.
Yeah.
It's not like she was some sweet homeless woman.
She was violent and got cops called on her six times in one day.
Well, we know people always call the cops for valid reasons.
That's one thing we know.
And if there were six times they called the police, man, that must have been, wow, six felonies occurred.
Everybody in the neighborhood knew her and wanted nothing to do with her.
Yeah, we know, man.
Like, that's why she's in the state she's in.
Well, one of the reasons, but... Police use pepper gas in situations like this.
He just sprayed some water.
Dot, dot, dot, dot.
Shrugging emoji.
and like you're okay with you're okay with that then is what you're saying you're saying like you're okay with bleach using pepper gas too like so what's wrong with some water again like knowing nothing knowing nothing about life because like you said this is the bay area this is San Francisco it's straight up cold right now yeah it averages like i mean i don't want to say degrees because there's colder places but it's like 45 degrees you know like around this time of year Yeah, if you have to sleep outside when you're fucking wet, are you kidding me?
Like even 60 degrees would be too cold.
Yeah, you're getting hypothermia, like you're getting pneumonia.
You're you're ending up in the hospital like she did.
Um, yeah.
I don't know why everybody's complaining about this guy.
You know, cops like shoot unarmed people in the back all the time.
This guy just used a hose.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, I guess we should give him bullets.
Last year.
Yeah.
Okay, um, yeah, Chris, this guy, this guy was funny.
Chris in the New York Times comment section said, And then Kate replies, that's the thing with being homeless.
Everyone wants you to go away, but you have nowhere to go to be out of the way.
Yeah, literally, yes.
Liz says, she's a human being without a home.
Where do you suggest she go?
And Chris says, away.
And Kate says, and go to where?
And then another guy, Adalar, says, bridges, sewers, dump sites, who cares?
Just away.
Keeping it real.
Wow.
Yeah.
Chris says, irrelevant.
What is needed is a statewide ban on camping within three miles of any schools, public parks, or businesses, and it needs to be enforced.
Yeah, we need to make being homeless even more illegal than it already is.
We need to make being poor even more illegal than it already is.
And my answer to this was, hey Chris, maybe you can help concentrate all these homeless people into a camp of some kind.
You know, get him out of the way.
Get him all in one place.
Get him out of the way.
You won't have to think about him anymore.
And he replied, oh, there's irradiated desert they can go live in.
We should send them to the Nevada desert where we tested the atom bomb.
It's like, at least you admit you're a psycho.
At least you like admit that you're a supervillain.
Yeah, because that's the whole thing.
You keep saying, you know, like, where do you want them to go?
Well, away.
And what they're sitting there is giving no solution.
So the answer is like, I don't care.
They just need to disappear.
Yes.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's called fucking social cleansing, man.
That's what these people want.
Yeah.
It's like, it's scary shit, dude.
Um.
Yeah.
They listen to Firestorm, but they're talking about poor people, not just people in general.
They're just like.
Elizabeth says, Reagan closed 95% of facilities for the mentally ill, forcing them onto the streets.
This is what that looks like 40 years later.
Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding.
Real shit.
Charlie, literally sunglasses in the front seat of his car guy, Charlie replies, that would make the average age 61, assuming that person was 18 at the time.
I don't think that's the problem.
Nice try, though.
Do you remember when, like, there was only one batch.
There was only one batch of on-house people.
There was only one batch of people who, like, needed, like, mental health facilities.
Like, that was it.
Just one generation.
And so they would be about 61 years old.
Like, no new people.
Average level of mental faculties of a person who hates homeless people.
Well, if Reagan closed all their... If that was the problem, then everybody would be 80 years old.
Every homeless person would be 80 years old.
If that was the cause of homelessness...
Everyone knows that Reagan closed down the facilities just because he stopped making homeless people.
They just stopped doing it so they didn't need him anymore.
Well they closed it down for those social security numbers and then they reopened it again for everybody else.
So, like, if you were born, you know, between, whatever, 1975 and 79, then yeah, you're fucked.
Sorry.
Sorry.
Tough on the streets.
Charlie also says, except the majority of the people who live on the streets of SF choose to do so.
Most are trust fund kids who think it's cool and or drug addicts and drifters from other states who literally get paid to live in tents.
Yeah, totally.
What is this?
What is this conspiracy theory about people getting paid to live in tents?
Never heard of this one before.
Where is that from?
If by getting people from other states who get paid to live in tents, do you mean people who from like Arizona that fucking Arpaio forcibly bust into California and handed him a $10 bill and said, go live in a tent?
Is that what you fucking mean?
That's probably exactly what he means.
It's like, where are you getting this from?
I mean... Clearly, this person's never been to San Francisco, and this rumor is just so incredible.
Have you gone inside the tents?
Have you looked inside?
They're fucking lavish, actually.
Yeah.
They're like those... That's actually just a facade.
Those are just tiny homes in there now.
They're like those Harry Potter tents.
They're magically enlarged on the inside.
Man, I wish I had one of those, man.
Most are true.
This is such a lazy.
Are all the homeless.
They're actually trust fund kids.
Like, how can you say that with a straight face?
Nepo babies.
Yeah, they're Nepo babies.
People are just Nepo babies.
That's how we get TikTok against them.
I would fucking love to camp every day.
I would love that.
Yeah.
You know what?
I thought that bag lady looked familiar.
I thought I recognized... It's actually Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's oldest daughter.
Yeah.
Just like going up to an unhoused person and be like, uh, I loved you in X. Real cool.
See, hide your aunt from me, okay?
You know the one.
Yeah, um... Cammy correctly says the government is just as guilty by not having affordable housing and decent jobs.
And yeah, that's 100% accurate.
It feels good to punish this guy.
Feels good to...
Punish this guy, close his gallery or whatever.
It's not the solution.
The solution is not to punish individual people so that they don't further hurt homeless people.
The damage is being done on a mass scale and we know who's responsible.
We know who has all the money and refuses to give it to the rest of us.
And yeah, she correctly identifies that it's the government who's just as guilty about not having affordable housing and decent jobs.
And I wouldn't say affordable housing, I would just say housing.
But, you know...
Adam replies, everywhere is hiring.
And then Esteban says correctly, 40% of people are employed.
And then Dennis says, where's your source for that information?
And then Esteban posts the link to his source.
And Dennis says, I suspect this is manipulated data.
I have a PhD in statistics, and I know how easily this can be done.
Listen, I've seen a lot of data in my time, and I can tell when data is fake.
Yeah.
Because I know how I would fake data.
See, what you do is you just use a different number than the actual number.
So simple.
And that's how you fake the data.
It's data, by the way.
Oh, goddammit.
See?
I know I should have finished my PhD.
That was probably like the last course.
Yeah, you should have.
How to say data.
I love that.
I have a PhD in statistics, and I suspect this article that I haven't read is made up of manipulated data.
And then Esteban says, you have a PhD, but you won't bother clicking and reading the research paper in lieu of your perceived notions, preconceived notions.
Dennis says, I also worked with the homeless for several, several years, and those stats don't correspond to my observations.
So, we have here a PhD in statistics who knows that personal experience always trumps fraudulent data, turned out by BigHole.
I have a PhD in data, and let me tell you about my anecdotal experience, which is very good.
Highest quality stuff.
I do love this person.
This person exists in every circle.
Just like, oh, there's a thing?
Oh, I actually have an expertise in it.
This is my proof.
I have a PhD, and I've worked with so many homeless people.
I used to be rolling in homeless people all the time.
And let me tell you, it was not 40% who had jobs.
It was 37.4.
So now I want to go to the Breitbart comment section, just the eye of the storm, or the Daily Wire comment section rather, just the heart of darkness here.
Woopwoop86080 says, never apologize for not doing something wrong.
Our society has been gaslit into thinking that usual cultural and societal norms are no longer okay.
But they are.
They must exist or we will be demolished.
Stand firm.
They are crazy, not you.
And yeah, when you see an unhoused person, when you see somebody living in abject poverty on the street, trying to scrape together their fucking mind, trying to stay sane long enough to ask you for money, you might be inclined to feel sorry, to feel sympathy for that person.
Do not let society gaslight you into thinking it's okay to identify with a poor person.
You know, I was maybe out of line earlier by trying to say that artists were good people and whatnot.
I understand my misstep there.
But what I will say is that whoop whoop numbers, fake juggalo.
I will say this is a fake juggalo because juggalos would never have this take.
That's a thing they would not do ever.
They don't see things that way.
They just see people and they see the good in people and they would never be this callous.
So I want to say this is not a juggalo and I will stand by that one.
Yeah, I think you're right.
Anti-authoritarian says, wait so a homeless insane drug addicted woman constantly breaking the law has zero consequence and a law-abiding citizen finally sprays her with water to leave and he gets arrested?
Get it now?
Which one of these people can pay the state in fines?
Which one can't?
And that, my friends, is how liberals define criminals now.
There is no longer any justice!
Revolt before it's too late!
Okay so you're saying you're saying the state's fucked up?
Like you're saying the state is like just trying to like get fees off people and get money off people?
Like okay we can we can agree with that part but the rest of it's pretty silly.
Yeah, the government is very often known for locking up the people who can afford to pay.
That's definitely like who the government targets are wealthy business owners, people who can afford to pay the fines.
We need to revolt.
We need to revolt against these homeless people before it's too late.
Wolf Sons says, and I want to get through these because I want to get to our last segment which is a little more pleasant to talk about.
Wolf Sons 4728 says, I don't see the brioche guy who recorded it offering to allow her to hang out in front of his business.
Unfortunately, that's very funny to like, oh, you like illegal immigrants?
Why don't you let one into your home?
But it's like, oh, you like people being homeless?
Why don't you let someone be homeless on this side of the street, huh?
Didn't think about that, did you?
It's what?
The truth is, too, is probably like, the brioche guy probably had people in front of his shop, too.
And like, couldn't just be like, come over here.
Come squeeze over here.
He probably couldn't do that.
Yeah sure, he also, like, can't tell somebody else where to sit.
Yeah.
You know, like all these business owners are reaping what they sowed.
And I will say again, it is it's it will never not be funny to me to see these anti elites, to see these people who are against like the powerful control, you know, powerful, cultural and liberal and economic elites controlling Uh, controlling our society and controlling our system.
Uh, when they see a San Francisco gallery owner, they're like, this is just a, this is just an honest man.
This is just an honest salt of the earth, San Francisco art gallery owner who got pushed too far and, uh, had to, had to assault a homeless woman.
I think he didn't do it hard enough, actually.
I mean, I would think otherwise, but I can tell by his, you know, by the cut of his jeans and his reasonable, you know, tasteful wares that he was probably a good guy.
Yeah, this San Francisco art gallery owner, just a man of the people driven too far.
piano plays softly
All right, so big news on Facebook here.
you know, I follow a lot of good music accounts like Boston, Steelers Wheel, NRBQ.
Also, of course, the Big Dawgs, the OGs.
I gotta follow Pink Floyd on here.
Um, and so I was, you know, I visited their Facebook page like I do every, every day.
Make the rounds.
My favorite rock and roll Facebook pages.
Um, and I noticed they had updated their profile picture.
Uh, and this fucking profile picture has a triangle and a rainbow in it?
And this was like, you know, I was just like, I like Pink Floyd.
I know they probably have their own opinions.
They probably have their own politics, but they've never, like rightfully, they've never expressed any political opinions because that doesn't belong in rock music.
Keep it out.
Keep it out of my rock and roll, all right?
Rock and roll is about traditional family values.
And so much to my surprise, I see a freaking rainbow on their profile picture.
Oh my god.
So you know I had to comment some stupid shit.
You know I couldn't leave it.
Oh, I know.
The last thing I want to see when I see Pink Floyd is a goddamn It's a goddamn, uh... What was that?
Did you see that?
No, I saw you do it.
A fly landed on my glasses lens.
Wow.
Like, on the lens.
I was like, what the fuck?
Anyway... Detracted to the sulfur.
The last thing I want to see when I look at Pink Floyd stuff is a rainbow.
And I want you to know that I kind of, I think we've talked before, but I kind of forget my Pink Floyds and my Led Zeppelins.
So that was like an honest remembering of me like, oh yeah, that's their thing.
I'm glad you at least got it.
I mean, it's funny, you're not even like that big of a fan, and I think you kind of understood what the triangle and rainbow in the, now see, I guess you could forgive everybody on the internet, every 60-year-old white man, and there's some Hispanic men in here too as well, getting upset at Pink Floyd for this because the logo has been deconstructed.
So if you're not familiar...
Dark Side of the Moon, one of the most famous album covers of all time, probably like next to Nirvana's Nevermind, features the prism, the triangular prism, and then the light refracting into a rainbow.
They like deconstructed that logo for the 50th anniversary and just have like a simple triangle centered with 50 over the numbers five zero laid over and filling the zero is a is a rainbow prism.
And thanks to Nick for sharing this with me.
A lot of people shared this with us.
A lot of people sent this to us because somebody made a collage of several reactions that people had to the Pink Floyd profile picture update.
So shout out to whoever made the original collage.
Good looking out.
And also, shout out to everybody who sent this to us.
It doesn't matter that a bunch of people sent it to us.
You were right to send it to us.
This is our shit.
This is our stuff.
Yeah, Wild Bill.
Just reading from this collage.
I have my own stuff.
I did my own research, as I always recommend.
Don't worry.
But yeah, these ones in this screenshot are pretty funny.
Wild Bill says, lose the rainbow.
You're making yourself look stupid!
Exclamation point.
Dot dot dot.
Palm face emoji.
God, these freaking people look so stupid.
I love going for stupid.
You're not even going for woke.
You're not even going for, like, you look gay.
You're not even going for that.
You had to go for stupid.
The one thing that could be turned back on you in this situation.
Easily.
So easily.
Yeah, you stupid, stupid person.
Like, you dummy, you big fucking dummy Wild Bill.
Lacko says, from this moment, I don't listen to this band.
Dot dot dot dot dot.
Nope.
Now we got a rainbow.
I'm fucking out.
I guess you got 50 years out of it.
That's pretty good.
That's good.
That's good.
Michael says, what's up with the rainbow?
David Tupman says, are you going woke with rainbows?
Is there a straight flag?
Yeah, there is.
It looks like shit, dude.
We did an episode on it like three or four years ago.
I want equal representation.
Don't get me wrong.
We should all be true to who we are.
Peace.
Peace.
What a bitch made comment, dude.
Oh, you're going woke with the rainbows.
Is there a straight flag?
That would be good, because I respect all people's peace and love.
Shut the fuck up.
It is funny, too, because it's just like, this was the nail in the coffin.
The gays really do have the rainbow now.
It is no longer.
Every time after it rains, that is, you go inside.
You go the fucking side.
You don't get to experience them anymore, because it's only for us gays.
That's ours now.
Some good little replies that I found.
Barry says, so they are gay now?
Yeah, Barry, they're gay now.
Sorry, dude.
Mike says, gay?
Yeah, it's gay, dude.
Sorry, man, your favorite band is gay now.
I think that means you're gay, too.
Having that poster with all the nude models with the album covers painted on their back, it's not covering anything up.
We're not fooled, buddy.
No, the band got no boners off that poster.
Joe says, why the gay colors?
I like that one.
Why the gay colors?
Why'd you pick the gay colors?
Like red, blue, green, yellow?
I don't know why you'd do that.
Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple.
I don't know why you would do that.
Yeah.
Like, in that order, why would you do that?
It's Roy G. Biv, not Roy G. Biff, alright?
Dijon Jeremijah S. Radulovic, don't know where this guy's from, says, ANTI!
And Dijon Jeremiah S. Radulovic says, LGBT plus, dot dot, blah blah, equals demon-cratic NATO.
Dictator.
I'm sorry, did I stutter?
Sorry, Rob, did I fucking stutter?
Well, he did, because he said Democratic NATO in the first one, and he corrected himself.
Demon-cratic NATO.
Oh, my bad, my bad.
I love, so this guy's like Russian.
Auto-correction, you know that by now.
This guy's like Russian, right?
He's talking about NATO.
For sure.
Just like a Russian guy getting mad about Democrats.
It's embarrassing, dude.
Yeah.
Well yeah, they should be.
Remember?
The Democrats were all up in the Russian emails.
Russiagate, yeah.
He saw Russiagate.
He took that personally.
He never forgot.
That's why I don't drive Mitsubishi's because of Pearl Harbor.
Thomas Peter Jonk Spur says about the new profile picture for Pink Floyd.
Considering who has taken over the colors of the rainbow, I think you should re-evaluate the design of the 50th logo.
Use lightbulb or something as a zero.
Yeah, have you guys thought about using a lightbulb instead?
You know that thing that just goes hand-in-hand with Pink Floyd?
It's really a shame you gotta use a rainbow instead.
I don't think it was, like, the zero that was gay.
I think it's the rainbow.
Like, you can put rainbow inside of a lightbulb, too.
They're gonna take your idea, and there's gonna be a frickin' rainbow inside that lightbulb, buddy.
And it's still gonna read as 50.
Juan says, great music, but you need to stay out of politics, dot dot dot.
Please, dot dot dot.
Don't be another brick on the wall, dot dot.
Oh, fuck.
Come to El Salvador, dot dot.
I wish you were here dot dot dot I love that change that change in energy in the end like all Also, who thought that song would come by them in the ass 50 years later?
Um... Wish you were here.
Actually, that's Incubus, bro.
Yeah, shine on you crazy diamonds, but not like too shiny.
You know, not like... It's like glittery a little bit.
The band is just fantastic.
That is really what I say.
Oh, by the way, which one's gay?
Raid Redak says, he's replying to somebody.
He says, it is the refraction of light in physics.
It is not Sodom.
Smiley face.
It's not Sodom.
Okay.
That's good.
Yeah.
It's not Sodom.
That's good.
They get it.
They get it.
Little does he know that actually that zero is actually a butthole.
That zero is actually a gaping butthole.
It's a minimalized version of it.
Yeah, it's a goatee.
It's a minimalist goatee.
Eric Ferguson says, please don't do that.
To like the profile picture.
Please don't.
And other people were like, you know, clapping back at him, making fun of him or whatever.
And he says, well, it's interesting.
Parentheses.
I'll keep it PG.
My memories to this album are 90s college with my gorgeous long-term girlfriend.
The room was always dark except for a black light.
LOL.
No more details.
Just really great memories.
Sacred.
And yeah, you don't want to be like... You don't want to be looking back at your most sacred memories of fucking in a blacklight and then get intrusive thoughts about that's, oh no, that's a guy you're fucking.
Oh no, that's, you were doing gay stuff actually.
Was I, was I doing this stuff like kind of in front of a whole gay band?
Is that, is that, I was horny listening to their voices and their, their instruments.
Does that make me, uh oh.
I'm happy we know the girlfriend was gorgeous, by the way.
My gorgeous girlfriend.
Yeah, that's why you had to turn off all the lights, bro.
Sure.
David says, I was on acid 30 years to this.
What's with the gay image?
Maybe those are connected?
I don't know.
You ever get so mad about homosexuality that you forget the album of your favorite band?
All the time.
Happens to me all the time.
Wait, hold on.
This actually explains a lot of what I was seeing when I was on acid.
Like, what are you... Are you telling me that I was right?
I should have gone that path?
It's just a photo of... Please respond.
It's a photo of his kids, too.
His profile picture is just three of his kids, like, hugging.
Or maybe that's a wife instead of a... I can't tell.
It's too small.
Are my kids a lie?
Are my kids a lie?
Should I have been gay the whole time?
That's actually why they locked up Sid Barrett.
They called him insane for questioning the globo-homo-woke agenda.
And they kicked him out of the band.
They locked him up in a padded room.
Disgusting.
Disgusting.
Not surprising, though.
That song about the friendly gnome?
He was doing hate crimes.
The little friendly gnome in his gnome hole was doing hate crimes.
And that was right.
But they couldn't tolerate that kind of realism.
Have you ever listened to any of those old Pink Floyd songs?
No.
People are gonna hate me for this.
They suck so bad.
Although that's why I've never listened to them.
It's like, look at this gnome.
He's going to and fro.
He has a cup of cocoa.
I want to tell you a story.
It's bad.
I'm good.
John says, just had to include the gay flag.
and little gnomes stay in their homes eating, sleeping It's bad.
I'm good.
Um, yeah, no.
John says, just had to include the gay flag.
So sad.
And then he replies to himself, I love God and Pink Floyd.
Maybe you are too young to see what has happened in 50 years.
And yeah, maybe, you know, these kids today, they never grew up in a world where there weren't gay people.
If you had grown up in a world without gay people, and then you saw it now, you would also be pretty freaked the fuck out, okay?
And I think that's maybe the problem.
Yeah.
I mean, I think you're part of the problem here, actually, Jon.
Like, see, for you to say that you love God and Pink Floyd, it's almost like you've been worshipping an idol the whole time, and you've been bringing on this Sodom.
Like, I think maybe you should think about that.
Yeah, I am actually trying to add a P to LGBTQIA+, but it's not for pedophilia, it's for Pink Floyd.
When does Pink Floyd get a band of the rainbow, huh?
I know what color it would be.
Be green.
Yeah, yeah.
Green?
For weed.
Smoked weed in college.
This was my favorite response.
Alex, no relation, says, No, you blue haired gender swapping Gen Z children.
This isn't about your depraved lifestyle.
Don't get excited.
Actually, for you youngsters out there, this is a reference to the classic album artwork from Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon in 19... whatever.
I love him thinking that's what's happening in the comments.
I see all these blue-haired people here.
Don't get so excited.
This isn't about you, okay?
This is about My generation being fucking poisoned by the culture war.
That's what this is about, alright?
Yeah.
Calm down.
I know you thought you were gonna get really into Pink Floyd now that they're gay, but this isn't about you, actually.
Leave Pink Floyd to us.
Alex is gatekeeping.
That's fucked.
Super fucked.
Yeah, for everybody upset about The possibility that Pink Floyd might support gay rights or whatever.
I highly recommend looking up what Roger Waters has to say about Israel.
You should definitely look up Roger Waters' stance on Israel.
I think that would be very cool for you to experience.
