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 is.
We'll show you exactly what it looks like when you're in one of those stone dishes.
All there in Bartholomew, stay tuned.
I'm Alexander Edward.
And I'm Tony Boswell.
And we are Minion Death Cult.
The world is ending.
Receiving too few advertising emails is responsible.
We're documenting it.
What's up, everybody?
How's everybody doing?
It's probably May 1st for everybody when they're listening to this, which is an important holiday that isn't exactly publicized by the mainstream press.
Of course, I'm talking about my cats, Tony and Geezer's birthday.
Happy birthday, guys.
Happy birthday, guys.
Oh, I love them.
I miss them so much.
Yeah, they're great.
Geezer is still as weird as ever, but I made her a brunch yesterday.
Some eggs, which she usually gets when I make eggs.
I give her some scrambled eggs because it's one of the few things she can eat that doesn't trigger her allergies.
But I was like, I'm going to do this.
I'm going to do this right.
And so I cut up a little avocado and some tomato slices and put them all in her bowl for a little early birthday brunch for Geezer.
Aww.
That's awesome.
Geiser deserves that.
And I'm also happy that Geiser gets to like indulge and not have a piece of her face fall off.
Totally.
Yeah.
Well, it doesn't fall off.
She scratches it off like a she's like a centibite for people who don't know.
Maybe, you know, our guests here today, Rax and Amber from the Low Culture Boil podcast.
I was going to give you a better introduction.
No, I like the face coming off introduction.
Yeah, one of my cats, Geezer, she has extreme allergic dermatitis, so she scratches herself constantly, so she's like permanently in a cone, so she doesn't scratch her face off, but she can still like shove her face on corners, like inside the cone, you know, so.
And the food seems to trigger it as well.
And so when we're making dinner in the kitchen, she'll just be standing on her hind legs, you know, up against the counter or something and staring at the food and then just like scratching her face on a handle for a cupboard or something like that.
She reminds me of a cute little centibite, you know, just like flaying herself in ecstasy.
Yeah, she's kind of, that's like a, like a moose, that's like, reminds me of moose when they, um... Oh yeah, with the antlers!
Yeah, when their antlers shed, they rub them against trees, and like bloody bits of them come off, um, but it's, you know.
Exactly.
It's cute.
She's becoming.
She's becoming something greater.
Something more ambitious.
Well, thank you ladies for joining us.
Returning guests, friends, friends from the Low Culture Boil podcast.
Again, go listen if you're not listening already.
A celebration of trashiness.
Celebration of low culture that we love to hear about.
Well, thanks for having us.
We're excited to be here and talk about, what, gay kids?
Yes.
Well, that'll be the second topic.
The first topic I wanted to get to was another holiday.
You know, we're not just here for Geezer and Tony's birthday.
We're talking about Mother's Day.
And I didn't, you know, we're not just talking about Mother's Day.
We're not actually talking about mothers today.
We're talking about Our relationships to mothers, which is why you guys are here, because I did some research.
We all had moms.
We all have had moms at some point, so you guys all qualified, I think, to talk about this stuff.
Did you hear they're canceling Mother's Day?
It feels like every fucking year, these guys are canceling Mother's Day.
Did you guys hear about this?
Yeah, so the only thing that I've heard is that they're making it so you can, like, opt out of Mother's Day emails.
Is that what you're talking about?
Yeah, I found out about it.
It's weird because, you know, I get emails too, and I didn't get any of these emails.
But apparently, according to Charlie Kirk here, brands are bending over backwards to let customers opt out of Mother's Day.
And then he adds, can we opt out of Pride Month spam too?
Probably can.
You can unsubscribe pretty easily from a lot of these websites.
You can just get rid of all of it.
I mean, you just not check it.
Yeah, exactly.
I have 14,127 emails right now.
I'm looking at the Gmail tab.
All of those are about canceling Mother's Day.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, the examples that we see here are like from Etsy.
We understand that this time can be difficult.
If you'd prefer not to receive Mother's Day emails, you can opt out by simply clicking below.
We'll continue to send you unique ideas and crafted finds from imaginative sellers.
And I'm like, I'm like peeling my skin off right now because of how angry I am at Etsy for doing this to me.
How could you?
I mean, I've gotten these emails before, like I keep seeing on Twitter where people are acting like it's a new thing and something to do with the woke mind virus, I guess, but I feel like the idea is, you know, if you have A dead mother, or something to that effect, and a difficult relationship with Mother's Day as a result, we will not keep emailing you about it.
And I remember thinking that's what it was for, because I never get them for Father's Day, and I do have a dead father, and so there would be like this one month period where I would seethe with rage about that.
Yeah.
Honestly, does it really affect you, seeing Father's Day advertisements?
Does it make you uncomfortable or sad?
I mean, less so now, because it's been five years, but he died about a month before Father's Day that year, and it was tough.
They were emails that I would have preferred not to have to deal with, but it also wasn't the biggest deal in the world, and I feel like you either click the button or you don't, and then you kind of move on with your day.
Yeah, I have a dead mother.
And so when I first saw that, I thought the exact same thing, because that's the natural, normal thing for you to think is that this is about opting out, seeing things that you might not want to see that make a day that might be hard, a little bit less hard for you.
I've, like, I've joked forever about how, you know, the algorithm knows every single thing about me and every single thing that I talk about, but I talk about having a dead mom a lot and I still get the emails.
Yeah.
Because they see you talking about mom stuff and they're just like, oh, mom, email about mom.
Maybe she's, yeah, they hear you talk about it, they're like, oh, maybe she's, like, sad enough to where she'll still buy gifts for her dead mother, and leave them at, you know, maybe we can gaslight her into thinking this is a good way to expend that emotional energy, is you do buy a gift for your deceased mother.
Oh, I want to receive that.
Maybe that's why she died, actually, is because not enough Mother's Day gifts, and if I just buy them, then she'll come back.
It's not that it's not that you weren't buying the right gifts that you weren't buying the right gifts.
You need to make them from small makers like on Etsy.
And that's you got to know that you're you got to know that that money is going to maybe even another mom.
You know, it's got it's got to come full circle.
That's right.
But that's the thing though, it's woke to address your trauma.
It's woke to help yourself and not make yourself suffer more than the one day that's gonna come whether you like it or not.
The 14th is a day that you're going to experience, but you don't have to open a bunch of emails leading up to it, but that is woke.
It's like, no, you have to face your demons.
You have to face your demons through the Best Buy sale on Mother's Day.
I mean, if anything, Like, the fact that they're sending out these emails that are, you know, you can opt out of our thousands of Mother's Day emails that we're gonna send to everybody.
We send you so many fucking emails that we have to send you another email offering you the chance to opt out of this one specific kind of email.
Like, that's the thing about it.
That if I were a Twitter grifter, I would laser focus on, but I'm just kind of some guy, like, dicking around, so I don't, I don't really care that much, but it just, like, you send too many emails, and you know it, and here's one more email where you acknowledge how many emails you were planning to send me.
The bad part of it is, yeah, that they're, like, in this email reminding you of Mother's Day about not reminding you of Mother's Day.
Yeah.
It's very funny that we're at this stage in, like, desperately seeking something to be upset about, that now we're calling it woke to not receive corporate advertising.
You know, it's like, oh, I actually don't want to hear from the corporation.
Oh, what, are you too good for a corporate email?
Are you too woke, I guess, to receive a Mother's Day email?
It's anti-American.
That's the real truth.
That's the real truth there, though, is that these corporations, they don't actually care about you and your feelings.
It's that they actually don't want to do a Mother's Day sale.
And so if they don't have to send you the email, they don't have, not enough people will know about the sale where they're not going to like, because they have to do another sale Memorial Day.
And they just don't want to prioritize.
I've been looking at appliances and there's no Mother's Day sales coming up.
I think that's the truth.
I think that they're just trying to distract us from the lack of sales that they're having for Mother's Day.
I think that's what we need to be more upset about.
Chrissy Teigen had a Mother's Day sale on her site for one hour.
Does she, was it, is it just like her cookbooks?
Yeah.
And like line of cooking stuff?
I think she has cooking stuff or something.
I did click on the link because I was like, what, what is this?
What does she have?
And why is she limiting the sale to an hour?
Like what a rush.
But you can get your copy of Cravings for like a 10% discount during that one hour.
So joke's on you.
I just, I miss like, I don't know, I guess more, more old fashioned conservatism, which would be like, how dare they try to make money off of Mother's Day?
How dare they try to like, you know, commercialize your, I could, it's still extremely not important to care about, but I would at least be like, okay, that, that makes a little more sense.
There's a little, there's a little more behind that.
Now we're getting mad at people not wanting to be advertised for Mother's Day because that's just, that's what's, That's like the lowest hanging fruit at this part of the season.
Maybe it's just because you're like a cishet dude, Alex, that you haven't thought about the fact that if you were a mom, what if your kid got this email?
What if your kid's opting out of Mother's Day?
What if your kid gets this email and says, my mom, Alex, I don't want to see Mother's Day emails, even though my mom, Alex, loves me.
You're not thinking from that point of view either.
This is pretty fucked up.
They're giving kids the options to opt out of Mother's Day.
I don't know if there's a Fry's grocery store in our area, so probably shouldn't be receiving an email from them anyway.
No, that's okay because I, you know, I got the message from the corporate brands.
I am not celebrating Mother's Day.
It's not because I have a dead mother or something like that.
No, it's because I'm celebrating Indigenous People's Day instead.
The woke alternative.
So, remember the blue check we talked about who said he didn't pay for Twitter blue, he paid for free speech?
I didn't pay for Twitter blue, I paid for 1776 to commence.
This guy responds to Charlie Kirk's tweet saying, I'm so confused by this.
Which, just like, you know, self-evident.
You know, you have that blue check right next to your name.
I think the tweet itself was redundant.
Yeah.
I, like, it is confusing if you're viewing this from a, you know, anti-woke lens or whatever.
You're like, wait, why, they're trying to cancel mothers?
You know, like, I think, um, I have another one here that was just like, oh yeah, they're, they're, are they really trying to cancel mothers?
Like, people are, like, genuinely confused by this and other people are like, no, it's because some people's moms are dead, guy.
How did they not get that?
What world do you live in?
An anti-woke world.
And that's the only lens you have to look at anything from emails to blue checks to the year 1976.
That's all you got.
For this guy, it might even just be like, wait, Charlie Kirk's posting this.
Is there something more nefarious that I'm not catching on to?
I'm so confused.
Like, I see I'm upset, but this is like getting reported on pretty seriously by all my faves.
Right, it's- Is there something else going on?
Right, it's I'm upset, but why?
That's- But why I'm upset?
Yeah.
Daniel Loudon Jr.
says, uh, destroying the family unit!
I love to honor my mother.
She didn't do everything perfect, but dot dot dot.
That's so much more embarrassing for your mother than just saying nothing.
I love that she didn't do everything perfect, but... Just cast adrift in my own thoughts at the moment.
Never mind.
Come back to me later.
But she was there!
You kind of gave us a lot of liberty there, like just letting us fill in the blank there.
But what?
But I've been actually dealing with that through lots of therapy, and I think I'm going to be okay.
And you know, I understand that she's a person, you know, and she's a human who was raising me and doing the best she could.
She didn't do everything perfect is such a bad sentence, too.
You could say she wasn't perfect.
Everybody uses that phrase.
Yeah, it's supposed to be perfectly.
It's an adverb, right?
I love the phrase, I love to honor my mother.
Just a total fucking NPC-ass phrase.
Who up honoring their mother?
What the fuck are you talking about, dude?
Yeah, and Horst Hummus says, are they really trying to cancel mothers?
And they have a puppy avatar?
It just makes sense.
It all clicks.
You mean the puppy's sad?
That puppy loves their mom.
Oh my god, these people are so fucking funny.
I saw so many good responses to this.
Jenny Sue, 1776, there we go again, says, It's all about destroying families and what God put in place a man and a woman to procreate and the demons out of these companies hate God.
How did she get there?
I'm so confused, much like the other guy.
She must see it as propaganda for gay families.
That's what she's thinking.
She's like, oh, if you don't have a mother, you must have two fathers.
Because mothers don't die.
No.
A priori.
That would be an empathetic way of viewing these messages.
And these people, they're not capable of that.
Alex from the future, again, one of the things I forgot to say is that I bet a lot of these people interpreted the idea of, wow, Mother's Day is a really tough time for a lot of people.
They interpreted that as my kids don't talk to their mother anymore.
And so Mother's Day is a tough time for them.
Or my kids are like hanging on by a thread.
You know, is Mother's Day a tough time for someone who is my kid?
Probably.
Please don't send them an email reminding them of that fact.
They're still talking to me currently.
I saw, yeah, people seem to be getting very confused on Twitter recently.
And it's maybe just because I'm seeing all the blue check answers come up.
Because they're self-selecting at the top of every thread by paying $8 a month.
I saw I just saw right before we got on this woman had posted a picture of herself very very pregnant and she said I Was what a man cat called me while I was walking down the street And then he came up he was like driving up and as he got a side profile view he said oh No, I'm sorry Because he realized she was pregnant.
Yeah.
And the comments, I mean, it's very funny because it's like, yes, we live in this world.
You know, catcalling is bad.
And then this guy got sort of owned by his own beliefs that men, you can't catcall a woman if she's already previously owned by another man.
But people in the comments are just like, wait, what does this mean?
If he didn't catcall you when he saw that you're a mother, does that mean only mothers deserve respect?
Oh my god.
Everybody needs to be less stupid.
How many dudes were like, hey, listen, I would fuck a pregnant woman?
A couple.
A couple.
There were a couple of those.
Yeah, I saw that too.
Listen, I just need to let you know that I'm actually not only OK, but kind of into it.
All right?
That's just the kind of feminist I am.
I would only catcall you because of your beautiful, luscious, pregnant form.
Yeah.
I catcalled your belly, and then I saw your finger with the ring on it, and that's when I was like, oh shit, my bad, my bad.
Yeah, no, I was attracted to, like, the glow around her.
It's the nice, healthy aura.
That's what I'm into.
No, I mean, the reason, yeah, you don't want to catcall a pregnant woman, because what if it's a boy, and then you're gay or something?
Oh, that means you're gay.
Yeah, that's true.
Yeah, no, it's all about destroying families and what God put in place a man and a woman to procreate and the demons of these companies hate God.
I've been kind of like keeping this take close to my vest because it's a big one and I'm not sure if I can like throw my full weight behind it, but it really does seem like Twitter is the new Facebook.
With the blue check system, with the stuff you're seeing now prominently on Twitter, I don't know, I feel like it's trending toward that sort of real loud ignorance and bigotry that Facebook used to be famous for.
Or like it was always on there and now the people who were always doing it and getting, I think, largely ignored.
You know, when I think of these type of people, I think of, you know, man's name, bunch of numbers, that username with no profile picture.
And I feel like there's a lot of overlap between that guy and blue checks as they are now.
Yeah.
And so all of a sudden, all these guys who I pretty much was able to either ignore or just never saw what they had to say, they are, it's like they have a megaphone now.
And it's like 20,000 dumb assholes with megaphones who I can't ignore anymore.
And yeah, so in that way, it does feel like Facebook.
Yeah, because Facebook actually will hide your comment.
If you say stuff like this, if you say like insane, you have to click view all replies instead of the most relevant section.
That's where the party is, by the way, all replies.
But yeah, Facebook knows to hide stuff like this mostly, and now Twitter is amplifying it.
Imagine being like, there's a whole demographic of Twitter users who are like, oh my God, Twitter's better than ever right now.
They're like, I am always at the top of the replies.
People are screen grabbing my shit left and right.
I don't think they're loving it.
I don't think so.
They're still complaining because they don't have a million followers yet.
Or if they have a million followers, they don't have two million followers.
Like, fucking Cat Turd is one of the biggest accounts on Twitter and still can't stop complaining about it.
Like, they're in a hell of their own design because now they can see how many people saw their tweet and didn't like it.
It's great.
I do wonder like what did they think was gonna happen?
I mean surely they saw all the conversations leading up to the stupid shit with the blue checks where all the people that they I think they're better than.
We're just talking and talking about how stupid it is to pay for Twitter, and they pay for Twitter anyway, and all those people still don't like them.
What alchemy did they think was going to take place once the blue checks finally actually kicked in?
They thought that the only reason they weren't getting likes is because people weren't seeing the things that they were putting out there.
And they thought that once they were able to be seen, their brilliant thoughts, like, I'm so confused, would get the deserved amount of likes.
I think it's just social media in general.
Like, if you're the type of person who cares about likes or cares, which, you know, a lot of us do or whatever, to one degree or another, it's a certain form of validation.
But if you're a person who really cares about that, There's no way to ever satisfy you, because if you get more followers and you get more likes, well then, that means I could get more followers and I could get more likes, and why isn't that currently happening?
And it's like, well, none of it's real, so it's never gonna make you, you're never gonna actually quench that thirst, I think.
I think it's like an unquenchable thirst for some people.
I think you have to play the game where every once in a while you switch what you're trying to do and try to lose followers.
Sure.
Um, just to, you know, like, it's like switching up your ta- it's like smelling coffee beans in between the perfume.
Yeah.
I just, you just gotta have fun.
You gotta, you gotta, you know, or, you know, or like one for me, one for them.
Yeah.
You do something like that.
I loved this response.
I love somebody who is confused, but they elaborate a little more and you see why they're confused and it's better.
We have Blake Holder, the fourth, with crossed swords emoji in his name and glowing red laser eyes.
So you know this guy's based.
He says, looks coordinated, dot, dot, dot.
I'd love to see the memo these brands received from on high.
From on high sounds like he's saying the Jews, and I realize he kind of isn't, but he also kind of is.
He's not not saying the Jews.
Right, not clearly enough for my taste.
Yeah, I'd love to see the memo these brands received from on high, and you see the memo and it says, make money.
So it's like for these people who claim to, I don't know, be capitalists or love the free market or whatever, they have no idea like what marketing strategy looks like.
They're like, all these companies are, it seems like they're coordinated.
They're all doing targeted advertisements.
What's really going on here?
Well, have you seen the companies owned by these people?
They don't really behave like they've ever heard of marketing or
Getting customers and you know you see like the bars and auto dealerships owned by these people or in my case the construction firm that I worked at for a year and a half that was owned by one of these and it's just like every email is just a jumble of nonsense going to clients and customers and important people and they just don't put any thought into like hang on maybe I should make my product kind of attractive like that's
You have to be able to like empathize with somebody else.
You have to be able to put yourself in somebody else's body.
You have to like stop being a narcissist for one second to understand how you might want to appeal to someone else.
Right.
I feel kind of bad.
I feel like I might have been part of the reason why companies started doing this because I did complain about Mother's Day ads kind of loudly for a few years in a row.
Not recently.
I've recently kind of I've gotten over it because, you know, I went to therapy.
But I think these companies are, this targeted ad is towards me and people like me.
And I'm sorry to the blue checks out there who think we're trying to cancel motherhood.
It's very funny to be like, what is this nefarious purpose?
They don't want to sell something.
They don't want to advertise.
And it's like, A, that's good.
As I said before, it's kind of good anytime a company doesn't send you an email.
I appreciate that.
But also, it's like, no, they're still trying to make money.
They're still trying to be an inclusive, appealing brand to people who, I don't know, might have had a family member that just died of COVID in the last few years, you know?
Oh my God, you know what they should do?
They should have a code included in there to be like, uh, you know, instead of Mother's Day, here's a code for you for Self Day.
You get the same discount as the mothers.
You just reskin the email and it says treat yourself instead of Mother's Day.
And then you're just, it's the same discounts.
They're going to listen to this.
God damn it.
They're going to, they're going to hear this and make so much money.
You go to the website using that code and it's just black bars covering all the advertisements around the edges of the web.
It's like when Adult Swim showed The Room and they just had black bars covering all the sex scenes.
Oh my god.
They did?
That's amazing.
Yeah, that was the first time I saw The Room, you know, back in, what, fucking like 2008 or 2010 or something.
I turned on Adult Swim to watch, you know, King of the Hill or whatever I was watching on Adult Swim at the time.
And it was the sex scene with just, like, you could only see her face.
Yeah, you could only see her face and, like, everything else was cut out.
But the original R&B soundtrack kept me hooked.
I watched it long enough to get hooked on the whole movie.
Great movie.
Yeah, last response I saw here that's just good, just kind of hits the whole thing home.
Gracelyn, whose avatar looks like it was taken in 1972, looks like a photograph maybe 40 years old of Gracelyn.
Says, at Levi's, at Fry's Food Stores, at Nespresso USA, at Etsy, your attempt to erase or downplay the importance of mothers and fathers and the celebration of them is immoral and abhorrent!
Get them in the conversation, Grace!
Why would they be downplaying both mothers and fathers if the whole thing is... I can't even logic it out according to their own rules.
If it's a gay parents woke mind virus thing, you need either mothers or fathers, Gracelyn.
Yeah, it evens out because in the gay family, they're overemphasizing the father.
The father's getting extra credit, but in the lesbian family, the mother's getting extra credit.
So it all kind of washes out, I think.
I just, I don't know, I love it.
Erase or downplay the importance of mothers and fathers.
It's about an email!
And advertising!
I don't get it.
I don't know.
Your life has to be so empty for you to invest this much meaning in this stuff.
Maybe that's harsh, I don't know.
No, I don't think I've ever cared about an email that much.
I've received some very annoying emails in my day.
Emails that were directed specifically to me, too, that didn't just go out to the good people of Levi's.
And I don't think I cared even about those emails anywhere near that much.
Oh man, I just, this is like the shit you would hear at a bus stop.
Nespresso USA is downplaying the importance of mothers and fathers.
Right!
Totally.
Yeah, but there's this thing, there's this demographic too where, you know, along with your likes in your retweets or whatever, part of your serotonin is the email that has your name on it.
Like that, even though that is not personal at all, it's still like, oh look at my little inbox, oh this is for me.
It says...
It says, Tony, come on in.
Hey, we know you hate your mom, but you know what?
We still got some good deals coming in.
I don't hate my mom, for the record.
Listeners know you don't hate your mom.
Do you think Gracelyn is a mother and that's why she takes offense at this?
How much of this do you think is... I don't know, I feel like...
Older generations, maybe, okay, so, this is maybe, uh, politically incorrect, not politically incorrect, but maybe I'm on dicey waters, but, like, back, you know, in more heteronormative times, stricter gender roles, like, a woman was kind of pressured, if not outright forced, into playing the role of a mother, and like, so what, do you think there's people who are like that, who are like, fuck, that's the one thing I had going for me.
That's good, you know?
Oh yeah, totally.
There's someone out there who's like, listen, my husband isn't going to say anything on the 14th, alright?
And my kid's too young to buy a gift by themselves.
And all I had was a Levi's email.
And now I know that some people aren't going to see that.
And that fucking sucks.
I mean, maybe her kids are, you know, gonna write her on the 15th or 16th and be like, you know, I'm so sorry, I would have done it, but I got this email and I didn't.
That's an excellent prank you can play on your conservative mother.
If you have a conservative mother, you should totally dunk on her like that.
I was going to get you this great pair of Levi's that I saw, but I accidentally clicked the wrong button in an email because of wokeness, and I just ran out of time.
I'm so sorry.
I know you've been eyeing that Corduroy women's trucker.
It's a really nice jacket.
Okay, moving on here.
- Yes.
I probably shouldn't have intro'd this show by saying, uh, the world is ending, gay kids are responsible.
They, that's like, too close to home for irony, I think, at this, but like, any new listener is gonna be like, what?
When you talk, what's happening?
But I mean, honestly, we really shouldn't have thought about that because, like, if you think about it, there wouldn't be gay kids if it wasn't for moms, so it still should have been moms making the world end anyways.
True.
Which comes first, the mothers or the gay kids?
It's like the chicken or the egg.
Yeah, the mothers.
Usually.
That's the answer.
Yeah, I mean, we're getting right to the heart of that with another banger from Charlie Kirk.
He uses the two siren emojis, so... Red alert!
According to new data from the CDC, 1-out-of-4 high school students in the U.S.
now identifies as, quote, homosexual, bisexual, or is currently questioning their sexuality, end quote.
This is a social contagion of historic proportions.
What?
Isn't that just being a teenager?
Sorry, say again?
Isn't questioning your sexuality like part of being a teenager?
Isn't that like...
Yeah, all that stuff, that's like happening to you for the first time.
So you don't, you don't know.
Wherever you land.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's just, no.
Cause like we had movies that show, I knew, I knew when he was fucking that apple pie that that was a female.
I knew that he was having straight sex with that pie.
So there was no questioning my sexuality as a teenager.
Um, that would happen a couple of years later.
Yeah, I mean, a lot of, you know, some people know younger than teenagers or whatever, but yeah, like a lot of that stuff is like happening to you.
So you're like, huh?
It's like what you're saying what to your hormones?
I guess that's what like questioning your sexuality means at that age.
Yeah.
I like the pun here.
This is a social contagion of historic purport because he's quoting the Center for Disease Control.
An institution that I'm sure he trusts in all other aspects of their reporting and findings as well.
I feel like the stat was different when we were younger.
I feel like it wasn't 1 in 4.
But I also feel like that's also still not an accurate number either.
But I feel like the stat was different and that's why he's like... Because I feel like it was...
I forget what they used to say when I was younger, but there was like a 1 in lower than 10 number that was like, oh, it was kind of letting you know, someone you know is queer, someone you know is gay.
That was like the number that was still being used then.
But I feel like this isn't that far off from what it was.
I think it was like 1 in 6, I feel like, when I was a teenager.
Yeah, I think that sounds right, yeah.
1 in 6 sounds right, yeah.
That's like, this is not that much more extreme.
It's like, chill, chill, God.
It's okay.
Also, why do you care what's going on with, like, teenager sex?
Like, it is very deeply weird to be an adult man making two alarm bell emoji tweets about teenagers thinking about sex.
Like, you're kind of the weirdo there, man.
Right, well that was the funniest part of seeing this.
There's a reason I kind of accidentally highlighted Charlie Kirk this episode.
It's because Charlie Kirk's job is to make teenagers straight.
That's Charlie Kirk's job at founding TPUSA.
He's like Ben Shapiro.
He's kind of like how Ben Shapiro was.
He's a token youth.
And he is supposed to appeal to the younger generation.
Oh, anyway, that's a different company.
And so what he's doing is he's just broadcasting his own failure.
Sorry, maybe do better.
Maybe, I don't know, get a different job, dude.
You suck.
Yeah, you're like the worst heterosexuality czar that your employer has ever had.
One in four.
You gotta get those numbers right, man.
Yeah, you make being a straight dude look very lame.
You're not good at it.
You don't have any of that appeal that you're supposed to go for.
Dudes don't want to be you when women, like, don't want to fuck you.
Like, you got neither going for you.
But it's mostly because of the faces you make.
Yeah.
Like, look at your avatar.
You could fix this.
You could do a pivot if you needed to.
Yeah, why is he looking at me like he's disappointed?
Because you're gay, Amber.
That's true.
And he knows.
Oh, man.
Yeah.
I want the guy telling me to- I want the guy that's telling me to be straight to at least be on some sort of like, um, steroid.
Or like, I want him to be jacked.
Yeah, he should be fucked up.
You gotta do something where you're telling me what to do, and it works on me because you seem cool.
Because even just looking at this teeny tiny avatar, that is the least cool person I've ever seen in my life.
And it's very insidious, right?
Because there are people who do this sort of thing.
Better, like there's the whole Manosphere and Andrew Tate and so forth, and there are people who are good at seeming cool and interesting, and it's actually really bad for young people who kinda don't know better.
This guy is just a failure on that most basic possible level.
Totally.
I like how when, this is what the person I was going to talk about earlier, but I didn't want to change the subject, is the girl they hired at the Daily Wire, who she's like their young youth correspondent.
Yeah.
And they're like, oh yeah, this will help us appeal to young people.
And the second she opens her mouth, she sounds exactly like Ben Shapiro.
And you're like, well, I mean, I guess you're halfway there.
Yeah, so Charlie Kirk's really upset about the sex lives of high school students.
He thinks it should be his business.
He thinks everybody should get together and do something about it.
We should all force the kids to fuck a certain way, right?
Like, this is such an... It's a pretty crazy argument, or even conversation to really have, because, I don't know, none of this behavior is, like, negative behavior.
Right?
If it were, like, something that could be considered more negative, then it might be in society's interest, you know, to groom them into doing something less dangerous or whatever.
But this, it's just like, no, if it's all consensual, it's none of my business.
It's fine.
Yeah.
It's not like he's saying, like, listen, all the teenagers are gay now, and by gay, I mean, like, doing speed.
Yeah.
That's not what's happening.
They're just, you know, someone's wearing a crop top.
Right.
That's what's happening.
It's not even about actual sex.
It's about some guy listening to Lady Gaga and being like, am I relating to this a little more than my peers?
Are they doing whippets in the middle of class?
Yeah, okay.
Then we can talk about that.
But if they're just painting their fingernails, that's fine.
All right, yeah, just, I saw some great responses to this.
Ahole76, buckle up, buckle up, verified.
With a blue check.
Says, seems high, so one out of four, seems high, and would experimenting girls make up the majority of this number?
Oh, gross, ew, gross, ew, ew.
Go jerk off in private, weirdo.
Oh man, what about Attractive Cousins?
Probably wrong.
Oversampling this.
But the best responses, the best stuff is of course in the New York Post.
Ernest Lemmingway, this is like the top comment on New York Post, said, No surprise given how malleable and vulnerable to peer pressure the teenage mind is.
Will the CDC even bother checking the same people in five to ten years to see if it remains true?
Absolutely not.
Oh, check and mate.
So it's just like obviously a fundamental misunderstanding of how they do anonymous polls, of how they do polls where people feel comfortable giving personal information out to the government.
Also, if it's not true in five to ten years, then what does it matter?
Yeah.
Right.
Then you won, weirdo.
I'm calling everybody weirdo here.
This is a lot of weirdos just having a gross convention where they talk about kid sex.
I identify as a weirdo, so I feel a little bit upset about that.
Well, I'm not sorry to either of you.
Well, you identify as a weirdo I think because Woke Levi's groomed you into thinking that with their Oh Pioneers ad campaign where it was okay to like explore the stars.
Wouldn't that totally, just thinking about your own lived experience, wouldn't that totally backfire on you?
Because think about how many kids you knew in high school that were out.
That you knew were gay.
And now you're an adult.
Now it's 10 plus years later, and now think about how many people you know that are out and gay.
It's like, that poll's probably gonna backfire, my friend.
That's probably not gonna work out the way, you're at least gonna get more people saying, well, I'm not straight.
I don't think I'm straight.
Yeah.
I mean... Yeah.
I forget what I was gonna say.
It's alright.
I think that, like, if anything, when you're a kid...
Like, yeah, you're experiencing all this stuff for the first time, and you probably are a little confused, albeit not in the way that they're describing here, but I also think that kids are better than adults at shoving that shit down if they want to, simply because, you know, at a certain point as you get older and older, like, You just burst, like you can't take it anymore.
And yeah, as Tony was saying, like if anything in five to ten years, it's going to be one in three or something.
You know what was probably a bigger factor than the creepy question?
Was probably a bunch of straight dudes writing gay because it's funny.
What really was was they were like, can we get a, can we just put your head down, put your head down and get a show of hands.
And a couple of guys in the back said, gay?
Tony, I didn't tell you, I forgot to tell you this.
I filled out your survey, your CDC survey for you.
Yeah, you're a dendrophiliac.
Oh no!
Do you guys know what dendrophiliac is?
No, I laughed, but I don't.
Man, I feel like this was a universal kid experience, but that was like the funniest joke in elementary school was, did you know that there's people who have sex with trees and they're called dendrophiliacs?
No.
Yeah.
I don't know if it's true, but I... They ought to do a CDC poll about that.
I think they're out there.
I think a couple of them are listening.
So shout out.
Shout out to you.
Hey, do you?
Do you, Boo Boo?
Yeah, you're not hurting anybody.
Who cares?
Okay, so still in the New York Post comment section, Alpha Control says about one in four high school students identifying as LGBTQ+.
Great job, China!
Your plan is working perfectly.
Their plan to make us a nation of homosexualists.
I saw this and I laughed out loud when I saw this.
And then every comment had some variation on China, how this is China's doing.
Between this and fentanyl, China will have us beaten in no time.
Do they even have time for their own national matters?
Because it seems like they're really focused on making us gay and making us overdose on fentanyl.
It's so funny, they're like our least militaristic or incendiary global adversary.
They're openly trying to stop us from going to war with them.
And we're like, well, they gotta be doing something, you know?
They are.
That's why you're a fool.
That's why you're all fools.
That's why they want that.
You know they made Lady Gaga.
Did you know that?
Trying to make Lady Gaga to make more people gay.
To have more people have less babies so they'll be less American to fight later on.
They're playing the long game.
They're poisoning our water.
That's why there's water fountains in schools.
They're poisoning our water.
They're giving them Lady Gaga.
Did they put gay in the water?
You're gonna look me in the eyes and tell me that Sam Smith is an accident?
You're gonna tell me Sam Smith is an accident?
It's funny, that video of Lady Gaga coming up where she says, like, who cares if she's trans or not?
She's in an interview and somebody... Do you guys know what video I'm talking about?
Yeah, yeah.
It's like an interview from, I don't know, late 2000s maybe?
And yeah, she's like, who cares?
My, you know, my fans don't care what's in my pants.
Why would you?
Like, that video is making the rounds again now with the gender investigators and they're like, I fucking knew it!
I knew it.
Is it a gotcha now?
Her being like, is it now a gotcha?
Yep.
They were trying to have it be a gotcha then, and they didn't get anywhere then.
God, these people are too old to have been paying attention when Lady Gaga came out.
And now they're not up on the lore.
They're just replaying old lore.
That is one of the frustrating things about being in our age range, is because we're forced to remember the things they forgot being upset about.
Right!
We lived through it all.
We remember it.
So, more on China.
I found the other one on China.
Mark H says, I get these, quote, are you gay quizzes that show up as ads in the upper right all the time when on YouTube.
I dig into who is serving the ad and it is coming from a company in China.
This phenomena has multiple tentacles.
Indoctrination in education, social media, and China helping it along.
There's more to this comment, but I feel like this is the China stuff up here.
Yeah, I'm getting a lot of targeted gay advertisements.
I've never gotten one of those ads, Mark H. And then I click on them every time.
To investigate.
And I get more of them.
Well, I know I'm not gay because the men I'm watching have sex, one of their wives is always in the room.
So like, they're straight.
And I know that.
So I don't have to ask this question.
But I do click through it and investigate where it's coming from.
Who does that?
Isn't that how your computer explodes?
Yeah.
No, that's, I don't know, that's how you just get a $500 credit card bill.
Yeah.
No, I, yeah, I like, I don't even want to, you ever, you ever like on your phone, like scrolling through your feed or whatever, and you look up and you're not paying attention.
Then when you look back down, uh, now it's on, uh, an ad for like house paint or something.
And you're like, Oh fuck, scroll away, scroll away.
And if you don't like, if your phone was on that ad for too long, now you're just going to get house paint ad.
It thinks you want house paint now.
Like, you gotta be careful.
You can't be fucking clicking on ads, Mark, that you, quote, don't want to see.
What's confusing is... One of the tests said I was, like, super gay, and the other one said I wasn't at all.
So now, that's what's fucked up.
They're not even consistent.
There's no governing body that evaluates these tests?
Yeah.
Mark goes on, just hung up with a good friend who I have known 25 years.
Watched his boys grow up when I lived in California for 23 years, parentheses, back east three years.
Shut the fuck up, Mark.
This is so much chronology.
Get some fucking friends, bro.
He said his oldest, comma, now 23, comma, identifies as a they.
Non-binary.
Period.
This kid was always a normal heterosexual boy, and even has a- It's so funny to be talking about your fucking friends' kids like this.
He was a normal heterosexual boy.
He had sex with girls.
Ew, dude!
Why do you know that?
Yeah.
So he was a normal heterosexual boy and even has a girlfriend now for two years, so obviously a heterosexual male.
But he went to UC Santa Cruz and got the bug from there, I'm sure!
Jesus Christ!
It was the fuckin' banana slugs.
One of them crawled up his ass and turned him into a they.
That's like, I love the part too where it's...
I mean, he's even saying, sure, what does it matter?
If he's still, like, living a life that you're kind of condoned, why are you mad about this?
Why are you mad about this one tiny little thing?
If he has a girlfriend... You're a boy!
You're a boy with a girlfriend!
You don't do that!
Is he, like, coming over to this kid's house, like, frequently?
Or just maybe getting them on the phone to talk for 25 minutes?
And just disciplining them for being a they?
Yeah, I think he's really involved in this situation.
He's maybe is the key.
I don't know.
I don't know if this would come up naturally in a conversation unless they were both against it or like You know, I, like, why would you be telling your friend, because I'm assuming he's getting the information from the dad, from his friend, or, yeah, like, he said, yeah, just hung up with a friend.
Sorry.
So yeah, he was on the, was on the, he called him to tell him that his son identified as non-binary, I guess.
I guess that's what the fucking phone call was about.
It might have even been like a wholesome phone call.
Oh hey, I know you're gonna come by and visit next month, just so you know.
Sean, Sean's identifying as a, I don't know why I picked that name of all names.
Identifies as they, so just so you know when we are hanging out, just letting you know, that's it.
I mean, they're still gonna have, their girlfriend's probably gonna be there, whatever.
What if that was the conversation and this guy's like, Hold up.
This is not cool.
And that only accounts for about three minutes of the 25 minute conversation.
So the rest was probably just hectoring and haranguing.
Does your friend of 25 years not follow you on Twitter?
Is this not going to be awkward?
Well, this is the New York Post comment section.
They don't really have a good way to search on there.
I've tried, believe me.
Okay, here, this is like, to your point, Tony, he will outgrow this and become a he again, but to say this is not a social contagion or indoctrination situation, you've got a fucking Miracle Lyrical rapper here, dude.
It's not a social contagion or indoctrination situation.
It's just not being sincere dot dot dot or logical.
So that's the greatest sin of all.
They weren't being logical.
But yeah, if he's going to outgrow it, he still has the, the quote, heterosexual relationship you approve of.
Why are you so mad, man?
Yeah.
Why are you so mad?
It's so nosy.
Very nosy.
This is like a next-door post that just got copy-pasted into the New York Post comments section, which I'm sure happens all the time.
Yeah, probably a lot of overlap there.
Diana Morris said, when my daughter was in grade school, it seemed a lot of girls felt they were bisexual and were cutters.
It was ridiculous.
There's not enough attention in the world for them, and they have no coping skills.
Oh my god!
Diana!
What the fuck is wrong with you?
That was a little brutal.
Reading it out loud, I was like, damn.
No wonder your daughter's a cutter, honey.
You gotta not say stuff like this about your kid and her friends.
I love lumping in bisexual with cutters.
Well, they call it scissoring, you know?
Where did that jump come from?
That's pretty funny.
She thinks they're attention whores.
I mean, that's what she's saying.
She's saying they're doing it for attention in both senses.
But that's so fucked up.
And also, to say, it seemed like a lot of girls felt they were bisexual and were cutters.
Like, you're saying girls felt like they were cutters?
Yeah.
They probably were, right?
Like, you either are or you're not.
Yeah.
Just in a casual, what do you call it, anecdotal sense, is this at all true?
Girls in elementary or high school or whatever, grade school.
I wouldn't say it is, but I do know that in elementary school, Matt kissed a boy because he wanted attention.
Did he get any attention?
Yeah, he did.
Cool.
I don't remember any of my classmates identifying as bisexual to get attention.
I don't remember any of my classmates identifying as bisexual to get attention.
I don't remember that at all.
I think he would have gotten made fun of.
Even in California.
It would have been negative attention.
Yeah.
I had plenty of self-harm friends.
Me too.
Don't get me wrong.
I had plenty of self-harm friends, but there was no overlap of bisexuality.
They didn't seem related.
There was not from, I mean, at least they didn't seem related at the, I don't remember that being a statistic worth noting.
If it was related, it was probably because they were sad because they had to hide who they were.
Yeah, probably Diana was your mom.
Yeah.
Totally.
I mean, I was bisexual.
I knew I was attracted to girls in middle school, and I didn't tell fucking anybody.
No!
That shit made you stand out, and standing out in middle school is bad.
Yeah.
I stood out enough, you know?
I feel like the last thing that you want in middle school actually is attention like you kind of just want to die all the time or like go into a cave and not come out for a number of years and I just and I remember at the time I don't remember like a rash of bisexual cutters but I do remember moms in general seemed really fixated on this idea that like adolescent girls just did everything for attention like I remember if
Some girl was giving me a bunch of shit and I would talk to my mom about it.
Her answer to that situation was, oh, she just wants attention, like even when it didn't really make sense.
And I think that that continues into the present day, this idea that a girl doing absolutely anything, or even an adult woman, like you see it on Twitter a lot, Anything that a girl or woman can do has to be for attention, which is, like, that's just not correct.
Like, I for sure want attention a good bit of the time now, because I'm not 12 years old, but I also, you know, when I make myself a sandwich, it's not for attention.
I'm just having a sandwich.
I live a lot of my life not wanting attention, and that was so much more true, you know, 15 years ago.
Right, and some people do want attention, and that's fine.
It's also fine to want attention as long as you're not doing anything too obnoxious or dangerous or whatever that's going to hurt somebody.
Yeah, who cares?
I mean, attention can be fun.
It's nice to have people pay attention to you sometimes.
A lot of kids, like you're saying though, don't...
Wouldn't want that.
And like, I don't know, like, no matter who I was attracted to, it would be very weird to perform that attraction at that age range in order to get attention.
Like, I'm trying to downplay all that stuff.
I'm trying to be cool about it.
Yeah, she's all secret.
Yeah, very weird instincts.
But I just wonder, like, if Diana saw the movie 13 and just thought it was about her daughter, you know?
I thought it was a documentary.
I always think about that movie when we talk about people like this, because when I watched it, I was like, oh, this is like parental scare porn.
This is like a movie just meant to... Wild things, too, from around the same time.
13, that's my friend, Evan Rachel Wood, that's my girl, and we went to middle school together, and it was not like that.
Do you guys do whippets and slap each other repeatedly in the face?
No, we were climbing trees.
Talking about Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
I guess that's also fun.
Not as fun as cutting and being bisexual for attention, but it's something.
I mean, I will say, as a parent of a nine-year-old, I will say, there's enough drama.
There's enough drama.
They don't need to make it any worse.
I promise you that.
There's enough going on.
They don't need to make it any muddier.
They're fine.
Okay, so gird your loins here folks for this one Sims says war should be fun with these fruitcakes Jesus Christ And I it's just it once again like showcases the reactionary response to children You can't fuck is we have to kill them now right like not you know not if like these kids were straight Sims should not be touching them anyway because they're high school kids, but it's like
Those are the two options in the conservative mind for like, you know, women essentially, yeah.
But it's just like, well, I guess, and it's also a law, we call it Minion's Law here, anytime somebody evokes the Civil War in reaction to a CDC poll.
So it's going to be straights versus gays in this war?
Is this the idea?
Or is it going to be adults versus teens?
Oh, those teens can't hack it in a civil war of adults versus teens.
We're so much bigger than them.
They can't even start a lawnmower.
I don't know.
I'm very afraid of groups of teens.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I've seen enough internet videos.
Well, that's why I'm anti-natalist.
That's why I'm for abortion.
It's so we can win the war on teens.
We'll thin out their numbers.
I do think they're saying, like, who's gonna defend the country now?
Like, I think they're saying, like, oh, these fruitcakes, they can't serve in the military.
But it's like, don't worry, bro, there's still enough, like, there's still enough, like, you know, bloodthirsty teens out there, as there ever were.
It's okay.
You're still gonna have your squad.
There's plenty of white boys with, like, magnifying glasses and ants, I think.
I don't think you're gonna have any problem with recruitment.
I wonder if we're going to see a decline in recruitment now that Dodge is going to stop making gas engines.
Dodge is only making electric engines after 2025.
And I wonder if we're going to see a steep decline in army recruitment because if you can't get a Hellcat, why go to war?
That's a good question.
I mean, I think that there's never been gay men in the military before.
That's right.
We would know.
Yeah, what kind of gay person would want to join an all-male fighting force?
No, I think this is anti-T.
I think they're going to have war.
Because they say fun.
Like, it's not successful.
They're not saying being sarcastic.
We should win this war.
They're saying it'll be fun.
Like, yeah.
Just hate crime.
Eager to commit hate crimes.
T Matters here says, another absolute lie from the CDC.
When did the tribunals begin for this scum?
Which one?
Which scum?
The CDC.
All the CDC?
The whole CDC?
Yeah.
I'm just wondering what type, what T matters?
Is it testosterone?
I think absolutely.
It's just a really hateful trans man.
Yeah.
The capital, the M in matters is capitalized for a reason.
Yeah, well, this is, I mean, this is easy.
All you have to do is you just find somebody, uh, who, you know, wants to leave their kid's health insurance or whatever, and you... Oh, this was the CEO for, uh, the CDC.
This was the president.
Yeah.
There you go.
Yep.
You know?
There it is.
This is the address.
And then problem solved.
Like, what would be the punishment for, um, a bad, for a bad poll taken?
You know?
What are you gonna do with that?
They think they're lying.
They think they're...
Beefing the numbers?
For what purpose?
China is turning us gay, turning our kids gay, and the CDC is helping them by reporting that?
Okay, because the idea is that war is turning, or not war, China is turning us gay, turning our kids gay, and the CDC is helping them by reporting that or helping them by over-inflating the numbers?
But then how would that actually help that unless they think that teens are not only influenced by TikTok and, you know, what's on the Disney Channel, but they're also scrolling the CDC results to see how they should orient their lives.
Should I be gay?
Better check my favorite website, cdc.gov, to figure out my sexuality today.
And then they group up in groups of four, and then they're like, okay, eenie, meenie, miney, gay.
And then, oh, it turns out that one is poly, so then they all become gay.
Oh, man.
China.
God.
Ugh.
Yeah, I was... I was... I don't know.
I thought that that was going to be, like, more far-fetched than I expected.
They're roping China into it, but they're all on the same wavelength.
You love it.
Eddie C says, and three out of four women turn vegetarians in prison.
And hold on, hold that vomit in until you hear the response from Mickey Drinks Bud Light, who says, I am a male dinosaur known as Lick-A-Lot-Of-Puss and shall always remain that.
Twisted, crying, laughing emoji.
I have to go kill myself.
That's horrible.
Also, Eddie, stop telling us about your porn searches.
Yeah.
Prison Vegetarians 4.
Gross.
I mean, I remember these jokes when I was like 12 and 13.
I remember that.
Yeah.
I don't know if I would have ever typed them out.
That's why.
Dude, have you heard the lick a lot of puss joke before?
This is the first time.
Oh, I've heard the lick a lot of puss joke.
I had uncles who would wear shirts that said things like dirty white boy on them.
And so I heard all these jokes.
Any female body inspector shirts?
Oh, for sure.
That's a good one.
I mean, I'm sorry.
I used to have one.
I'm a bit of a vegetarian myself, I guess.
Eddie also had, I don't have it here in front of me, but Eddie C also said, and three out of five men become salad tossers in prison or like to toss the, so totally separate comment, but he did it, you know, for each gender, the two gender, these are the two genders, vegetarians and salad tossers.
I'm a pescatarian.
Same thing, Amber.
I'm sorry.
But see, to them, that would still be a joke about vaginas.
Yes, that's what I... yeah.
That was on purpose.
I'm sorry.
That's a gross joke!
I'm sorry.
We all expected... You know what we're missing here, though, in this comment?
This guy's an abolitionist.
I don't know if we're missing this.
I don't know.
This guy's actually an abolitionist.
Maybe.
I think he might.
He says, I don't want women to ever go to prison.
Oh yeah, you're right.
This is prisons costing men to toss salads.
I don't want that.
Prisons make men and women gay and we should get rid of them.
So, but okay.
The salience of this comment about prisons and vegetarians, what is he saying?
Is he saying that high school turns Turns you gay for the same reason that it prisoned us?
I don't know.
It's just he heard gay and he was like, oh, I have a thought about this.
This is my go-to thoughts joke about this.
This is what I say every time gay comes up in any setting.
He's talking about the school to prison pipeline and how it is a problem and how we are setting kids up for failure.
That's what he's talking about.
Right, they start questioning their sexuality, at least one out of four of them in high school, and by the time they get to prison, three out of four of them become vegetarians slash salad tossers.
Yeah.
I mean, those books that they get access to, to read in there, they aren't helping, you know?
We need to start a books against prisoners sort of organization.
Make sure this gorge can be defeated.
Yeah, less books.
That's the episode, folks.
