Divorce happens. It doesn't even sound like it was his choice. (preview)
Today we cover the feuds between Stephen Crowder and Candace Owens and Stephen Crowder and his own wife, who filed for divorce without his consent?? We take the opportunity to peruse the weird freaks picking sides in the right wing media civil war and Tucker Carlson is fired from Fox News but moves onto something bigger and better: uploading videos straight to twitter Finally we examine the right-wing response to the shooting of 16 year-old Ralph Yarl after he rang the wrong doorbell, including some of the most lazy and/or delusional propaganda we've seen in some time. Also part of this story is the shooter's grandson who confirmed the obvious by outing his grandfather as a racist MDC character. This leads to a discussion about the idea of "family loyalty" and how it fits into the broader right-wing worldview. ----------------------------- Sign up for bonus content at http://patreon.com/miniondeathcult Support the show for $5/month and get a weekly bonus episode of Minion Death Cult as well as our brand new weekly live show: DEATH CHAT 500 (also available in podcast form).

Some of the some of the bigger news going on right now, which is, of course, Steven Crowder getting divorced.
Yeah, yeah.
Pretty, pretty huge news.
Did you hear about this, Tony?
I don't know if you felt.
I felt the disturbance in the force.
Mm-hmm.
There was just a huge wash of divorce guy energy that I felt pulse through the universe.
And it was it was this.
Yeah.
Going on your right wing masculinity.
Oh, he he didn't.
He's not wearing the holsters.
Wow.
He put away the holster.
He's in more clearly in mourning.
He's not wearing the shoulder holsters in this.
I fucking bet she took the holsters.
He's in Texas.
He's he's fucked.
She's going to take all the holsters.
Yeah.
Yeah, here's Steven Crowder on his show announcing how divorced he is.
I have been living with a proverbial boot on my neck for going on years now.
Oh shit, is that why he was in the hospital?
Yeah, I think that's what it was.
His wife stomp out his neck finally?
Yeah.
With a proverbial boot on my neck for going on years now.
Since 2021, I've been living through what has increasingly been a horrendous divorce.
Now let me say on the outset to be clear, Normally, you know, wouldn't really make fun of somebody for divorce.
You know, it happens.
It's a good thing, oftentimes.
It's an even better thing if you're divorcing a right-wing failed comedian pundit.
I don't know anything about his wife.
Um, but we do know so much about him and like, it's just unfortunate for him that all I'm thinking is like, good, good for her.
Yeah.
Like just, I'm, I'm sure not being around him as an upgrade.
Also, if it's taking years, um, I, that means, I think that means he's making it difficult, right?
If it's taking years.
Yeah.
It's so, it's so horrendous because I won't stop leaving voice messages on, on her email or sorry, her voicemail.
I won't stop sending her a text messages and like photos of the children.
I will read her tell all book.
I will.
I'll read that myself.
There is no infidelity, any kind of physical abuse at all on either side.
And no, this was not my choice.
My then wife decided that she didn't want to be married anymore.
All right, really funny now.
Okay, now it's back to being super funny.
And in the state of Texas, that is completely permitted.
It's been the most heartbreaking experience of my life.
What I consider to be... I thought Texas was supposed to be a free state.
Texas is supposed to be a free state and yet they'll let your wife leave you.
Where can we even make it till they can't leave us anymore?
What state can that happen at?
Does that state exist to where it's like, too bad babe, you're stuck with me?
See, no fault divorce is the type of divorce they allow in Texas, where nobody's at fault.
You can just file for divorce.
You don't have to get the other party's permission.
I don't know what the other kind of divorce is called.
What's indentured servitude?
I think it's called, um, her fault divorce.
There's no fault.
And then there's her fault divorce.
That was like a staple of eighties and nineties.
Uh, I dunno if rom-com is the right word, but like family movies where, uh, the father would refuse to sign the divorce papers.
Yeah, but he was kind of the champion.
He was probably who we were supposed to be rooting for.
He's like, I'm not signing these papers, I still believe in love.
Right, or like judges would do that.
Judges are like, I sentence you to a two week marital vacation.
Yeah, without the kids, you're going to have to hash this out.
I believe if I can just point over to Exhibit A, which is a stack of, you know, 200 papers of all the gay jokes my husband has been making at me for the last three years, you might reconsider your sentencing.
My deepest personal failure, and just so you know, my opinions on parenting and families have not changed.
I have not learned anything from this.
Rest assured, audience, I will not be becoming a better man.
