The leftists who made this board game are very weak w/Brace Belden
Happy Jan 6th, everybody. We celebrate this special day by bringing Brace Belden of True Anon onto the show to denounce his new board game STORM THE CAPITAL. We call on liberal witnesses from the Newsweek comment section to prove that this game is unpatriotic... or worse Is this so-called "game" meant to further alienate MAGA patriots from their revolutionary struggle? I grill the TrueAnon host for answers.

We love them so much that we give them money all the time on accident.
They used to have physical copies.
They might still in San Francisco.
I deliver in Seattle.
I'm a UPS driver and one of the therapist's office I delivered to had paper copies of the Epoch Times on in the waiting room.
I was just like amazed by that.
That's awesome.
Are you going to a therapist that's going to have like, you know, fair and balanced?
They're going to have, they're going to really be there for every point of view.
Well, you've got to consider that sometimes people have had their organs harvested and they need a special therapist to talk about that, which is, it's so invasive.
Yeah.
Being penetrated by a Chinese doctor.
Yeah.
They're literally taking part of you and that's... Exactly.
Yeah, or like, I don't know if you've if you've defected from North Korea and you need somebody to talk about, like, you know, all the dogs you've seen in control of police departments.
Or or the Falun Gong thing, because they believe that every race has their own heaven.
But that means biracial people or mixed race people in general can't go to heaven because their soul doesn't know which one to go to.
See, no, I'm I'm I'm I'm actually I've been thinking about this as a as a mixed person.
And I think we actually have like a I think it's more like you get dual citizenship and you can kind of go back and forth.
You can go, which is obvious, which one we're going to.
Which ones are you mixed with?
Which ones?
Which black black and Italian.
So I'm going to be tough choice.
It's going to be a tough choice.
That's actually a pretty good one.
It's pretty sick.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Because like Scott's Irish, I'm good on.
I'd rather go to hell.
Growing up, all the old ladies would be all like, oh, you're going to be a great lover.
I would only go to a child.
Yeah, you're going to have a huge hog when you grow up.
But but yeah, it's it's not other than that.
It's not going to go well for you.
Yeah, it's going to be pretty tough other than that.
My whole life, old ladies were like, you're going to have the smallest penis when you get older.
I cannot believe I'm molesting you right now.
You've got to be very charming.
This thing sucks.
They're like, proportionally, this is as good as it gets for you.
It's great, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
The liberals are destroying California and conservative humor gone awry.
Conservative humor gone awry is going to fascist-fornia 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 corner.
But stay tuned, guys.
We'll show you exactly what it looks like.
We'll show you exactly what it looks like.
Just go to the desert.
All very marvelous.
Stay tuned.
I'm Alexander Edward.
And I'm Tony Boswell.
And we are Minion Death Cult.
The world is ending.
Traitorous board games are responsible, and we're documenting it.
Real quick, before we get into the episode, I just wanted to let everybody know that Miss Me Yet, the Bush retrospective put out by Means TV, directed by our buddy Christopher Bell, I'll be hosting screenings of that at the Beacon Cinema in Seattle Thursday, February 15th at 7.30 p.m. and Thursday, February 22nd at 7.30 p.m. February 15th at 7.30 p.m. and Thursday, February 22nd at
If you haven't seen the series yet, you should watch it on Means TV or you should come out and see it live with me.
It's a response to the Trump era, the whitewashing of the Bush era during his presidency juxtaposed with the Trump era.
It's a great retrospective to remind everybody how how great that era actually was.
And I hope to see you guys out there.
There'll be links in this episode's description to get tickets.
That's next month, folks.
So get them now.
Cool.
That's going to be awesome.
I've never hosted.
I've never hosted anything like that.
Like I should.
I think the way it works is I talk as long like it's equally split up between me and then the miniseries.
Right.
It's like half and half.
I think I just I talk for like an hour and a half, two hours, and then they start the movie.
You should.
What you should do is you should constantly be like, hold on, hold on and send some text while you're up there.
Yeah.
I think I'm going to do it how I host this show, where I'm just going to pause it and say, you know, what comes to my mind being the host of the show.
Like, that's why I'm there, right?
Just read the Wikipedia for George Bush.
Just like just just watch the show and have a mic going is interject with just just say lol a bunch and then I will be also hosting at the Beacon Theatre at the same time period, but they're going to be secret screenings.
We are doing Brazzer Men's Endless Nut.
It is the longest slow motion kind of old school graphic effects.
Two thousands of the longest cum shot.
Ever filmed and I'm really excited.
We're gonna set some records and I will be doing a Q&A Awesome.
Awesome.
Yeah, I'll try to get a scoop on that try to get into that.
Um, I heard there's so much you can scoop it I heard it's scoopable.
No a scoopable load.
All right, okay Today is January 6th, folks, and this is when we're recording it.
And appropriately enough, we have Brace Belden from Truinon here with us today celebrating the release of the new board game, Storm the Capital, the world's first board game based around the events of January 6th, 2021.
Thank you so much, Brace, for being here.
Thank you for having me.
I'm thrilled.
Oh, wait, hold on.
I just got this email that says you're already sold out of the game.
So I guess never mind.
Do not buy this game because you can't apparently.
You can still buy the game.
I think we actually we're releasing a we there's a Another ship that like a bunch more copies are on that comes in in February.
Those are on sale right now.
Probably.
I don't know when this episode gets released.
I think they'll be sold out by then.
But if you go to.
www.stormthecapitalgame.com.
You can buy the non-Trunon edition, which will be shipping in a couple months because Chinese New Year does slightly interrupt the schedules.
But yeah, so you can buy the non-Trunon edition at stormthecapital.com.
OK, great.
I was worried we had you on here for no reason.
Excuse me, StormTheCapitalGame.com.
No, and I just, you know, I want to just talk about the game.
The game does look fucking fantastic.
Yeah, it was awesome.
Even just I'm looking at the character models here.
You have a granny with a Molotov cocktail and a cane.
That's one character you can play as.
You can play as a drunk proud boy with a police shield.
You can play as a QAnon grandpa with a grappling hook.
Pretty cool.
And then you can play as like a an anti-Biden Karen MAGA lady with a chihuahua and yoga pants.
Yeah.
There's also two other characters you can play as that we are It was inadvisable to include in any advertising or product shots by lawyers, but you will be able to to play as them.
There's six Patriot characters you can play on in total, and then one player plays all three cops.
And the goal of the Patriots is to go throughout the Capitol from room to room, overturning desks.
And once you get into a room, you overturn a desk, and there's either an event that happens, there is ballots you can collect, which are points, or there's hostages, which are also worth points, or there is nothing, which are worth no points.
And the goal is to get 100 ballots and then make it to the roof to change the results of the election.
To play as a police officer, you have to either kill everybody on the board or, which has happened in some of the playtests that we've done, or you have to prevent them from getting to the roof within 10 turns because you can use like, you know, guns, gas, all this different stuff, because it is also what we call a versus game where you got to fight each other.
I am the winner.
It sounds great.
I heard that you got Ashley Babbitt's permission, her family's permission, to use her likeness in the mission success for the cop side of the game.
Is that true?
Well, everyone has their own potential Ashley Babbitt within the game.
Our whole thing with the board game is that we're not taking a side on January 6th, that RIP to everyone on both sides that died from either being too excited or too sad that it was over.
It's a game that we are trying to market to literally everybody on every side of every possible political issue that they could face.
That's just good business.
Yeah.
I was wondering if there is, like, instead of getting to the roof, can I just get martyred?
And that would be, like, the ultimate victory?
You can die, but whoever kills you either gets all your ballots, or if they're the police, you just lose.
So you do get martyred, but it's also the first game, as far as I know, with 100% free market, meaning you can trade anything to anyone at any time.
Yeah, which I also believe makes the game a lot more fun.
I'm not.
I don't play a lot of board games in my life, but I played this board game a bunch and wrote many of the rules and blah, blah.
And so it is it's it's fun as even without the January six shit.
It's like a very fun board game to begin with.
I did have one concern, one little inkling suspicion here.
Are you, did you make this board game to sublimate the revolutionary spirit of the MAGA Patriots?
Like, is, are you planning on Storm the Capital being the opiate of the masses that Mark's warned us about?
Lulling us?
I would say it's practice because I think that, I'm going to tell you this, I think that if Trump wins, they should just run it back.
They should, they learned from the mistakes last time.
And it's, I understand that a lot of the sort of forces that fuel these people have kind of been arrested or like turned into like Bitcoin influencers.
Like the QAnon guy is kind of like, Faded into the past.
Now he's like a weird like Bitcoin sort of like Twitter person.
I think those people are a lot more capable of actually fulfilling the job.
And I think it's probably also a lot easier to hang Mike Pence now.
Like he probably only has one or two fucking, uh, like bodyguards with it at any time.
You just kind of get that guy out of the way and then you just hang his ass.
Uh, and so I think the mission of January 6th can be fulfilled in a way that actually is more equitable and is more, um, is, is, is furthers the cause of, of democracy in the country.
I mean, think of the potential.
Storming the Capitol when, you know, your enemy's in office is one thing.
But if your guy's in office and then you also do it, like that's that's that's a dub.
Like you're going to come out victorious.
This is great.
Also, just get fucking like if you get arrested, bam, pardon.
Yeah.
It's I don't understand why no president has thought of this before.
You just get your most energetic guys to do whatever you want.
They get arrested.
Fine.
Pardon them.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's your prerogative.
And if not, then they they do become a martyr like we were talking about before.
It's good.
Yeah.
Trump's too busy getting rappers out of jail, you know?
Exactly.
And, you know, he's he's got to give up on these guys.
I guess some of them do like it, but like it's you need to just like you need to always give your most important guys anything that they want.
And so I do hope Trump wins and then immediately pardons everybody who's been in jail for like two years on January 6th.
And then we just have a whole lot more insane people walking around.
Some of these cards are pretty good like in the examples your diet of fright This is like an event card your diet of fried food and supplements is making you hallucinate In a vision Pepe the frog dances around you he approaches holding a moonshine martini Roll a seven or higher if you succeed take one plus one prize card if you fail confess to Pepe that you love fucking your wife and lose One price card.
Yeah sounds fun It is.
It's a it's a it's a fun game.
Yeah.
And it's it's got a lot of replayability in it.
It's a you need four to six friends to play it.
And part of the reason we put it out, too, is we're trying to get negative press from liberal publications, which I think so far is working.
But once we actually get the copies, which are arriving in country very shortly and start sending them out to like whatever media matters and shit like that, I think that, well, maybe not them, But, you know, whatever, like liberal publication, we can hopefully drop some more bad press.
Well, yeah, go ahead, Tony.
I think this is so sick because, like, I have some friends who are some serious fucking nerds and they, like, be playing board games all the time.
And I think this is a good way to get the nerds involved and excited about electoral politics and just, you know, the American project in general.
I would love to sneak this on the people who want to play, like, Like the train game or whatever those other long form board games are.
This is going to be a lot.
I'm going to show up to game night with this.
What the hell is the train game?
Because people take it to ride.
It's huge or something, right?
It's huge.
Technically, legally making zero dollars off of this board game.
But I want it to generate in total one million dollars.
That would that would be that would that's the that's the dream right there.
That's the ultimate dream.
Because my my ultimate goal is I want to do January six slot machines.
Like, have you ever been to you live in the fucking you know, you you don't live that far from that one fucking casino out towards Joshua.
Yeah, Morongo.
I've been to Morongo.
Yeah, Morongo is great.
And I If you go to any fucking any sort of den of vice or gambling, they always have these like, you know, slot machines that are, you know, themed around Malcolm in the Middle and like old brands like that.
And they really need to like update this kind of shit.
So I think January 6 is our we're trying to own January 6 as an IP and license it.
To gambling companies, whether they're, you know, like the ones that you're addicted to on your cell phone that should be illegal or the ones that are actually in casinos.
I think that is the way to go.
Well, I mean, yeah, the the January 6th averse.
Like, there you go.
Like, get that.
Find out what's the origin story of that lady with the neck brace.
Like, that's that's like that's like a Captain America movie.
That's like your flagship property right there.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
It already has a complete cast of characters, heroes and villains.
It's got its people.
You know, it's it's the thing is with this is we figure that the only way you can actually accurately tell the story of January 6th is by a board game.
You can't do it by a fucking or slot machine.
You can't do it with a movie.
Probably a video game could do it, but that would take too much money.
And I don't know how to do that.
A board game, I think, is the only real accurate I really hope that a slot machine happens for you, because that's like the ultimate.
I think more people need to go into making art with the goal of having a slot machine, because I think that's the ultimate confirmation that what you did is culturally impactful.
The one and only slot machine I ever played, I won $500 off of it, and it was a Monty Python slot machine.
And that's when I knew that maybe I should check out this Monty Python thing.
Was it Life of Brian?
Was it a specific one or was it just?
I think it was bits from all of them.
There were bits from a bunch of different movies.
I know a guy that won like a million dollars from a young Sheldon slot machine.
Shut up.
That's awesome.
See, people were like thinking you're stupid or you're goofy if you watch that show.
But look how much it pays off.
Exactly.
I mean, it should be illegal, I would say, to have a licensed slot machine of a show where the character is of such a tender age.
But the actor's probably over 18, right?
Don't know about that one.
I mean, he will be.
He will be.
You know what?
That's true.
He will be.
Uh, so you mentioned you, you, you were getting some backlash from liberal publications.
I would love to hear more about that, but, uh, cause I have a article here from Newsweek that.
Isn't, I don't know, typically considered a liberal publication.
It's more conservative.
Definitely.
Kind of just reported it straight.
There were some pretty good choices in there.
Most of it was from you, but I think they got the spirit of the game.
I feel like they kind of understood the assignment, so to speak.
However, they do have a liberal squad on every one of these websites that sort of come to these articles because I mean, frankly, if you're a MAGA conservative who's really into January 6th and maybe you went or maybe you're regretful you didn't go or whatever, you're probably going to stay away from the board game making a mockery of your revolution, I would just say.
So I didn't see a lot of like, I don't know if you've come across any conservative denunciations of the board game yet.
The only one that I've seen is, was here from Z, who was replying to somebody else who said, yup, the leftists that made it are very weak.
There's, there's some good ones on the Daily Chaos.
Oh, Daily Koss.
Yeah, Koss.
And it was also, The comments section, they seem to have eventually caught on by just looking up the show that it's not like right wing or whatever.
Right.
Because I saw which which publication was it that reported you guys were a hard right podcast?
That was the independent who has taken it down.
Yeah.
That's kind of the dream.
That's the yeah, exactly.
It was it was that was like my absolute favorite one.
There is one that is.
Let me see.
There is one that called us white supremacist, which I was thrilled by.
Yeah, it's.
Further highlighting how white supremacy knows no boundaries, a new board game titled Storm the Capitol, true and on edition, is set for release this weekend coinciding with the third anniversary of January 6, 2021, Ride of the U.S.
Capitol.
The limited edition game, designed for four to seven adult players and priced at $64.99, is based on the events of that deadly day and claims to allow players to relive one of the funniest days in American history.
Which I'm like, this just reads like an ad.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's a false flag.
That's a false flag comment.
Where's the white supremacy?
Because I mean, like, I'm all for, you know, calling people racist.
It's one of my favorite things to do.
You know, in the theme of cards, it's my ultimate card I can pull.
Oh, it's such a good one.
And it seems like you seem to be depicting white people.
Oh, is that why you're white supremacist?
Because you don't believe that a non-white person could have stormed the Capitol and that's why there's no playing cards with it?
No avatars with that?
I mean, I gotta say, there is no, like, of all of the main characters of January 6th, The brothers were conspicuously absent, which is pathetic, because so many great black guys came out behind Trump, and black people in general.
Black women, too, came out behind Trump.
You had those two weird, I would say, neuroatypical women, who I believe is now perished.
Which one's still alive?
Silk?
I think silk.
I think diamond.
Yeah, diamond.
Diamond's dead.
And it's just like, all right, well, what are you doing now?
You had the Blacks for Trump guys, who were incredible, and they just abandoned him on January 6th.
And it was a white, well, it wasn't whites only, but all the guys who really went for it, I wouldn't do anything to see TK making pancakes.
I would say a little guy, the little orphan guy.
Is he gay?
No, no way.
No way.
No way.
It's not.
No way.
He doesn't do gay stuff.
Gays, nah.
No, he has the kind of like maybe he's just from South Carolina, because that's like, yeah, I don't know.
He was really good friends with Diamond and Silk, and I don't think they they would have been friends with him if he were if he were like that.
Yeah, he actually we we could have possibly seen him out there on January 6th because he had a tweet on January 6th that was like, break the law.
And then he deleted it later.
The last I saw of him was the Aunt Jemima replacement, Syrup, which made me really sad.
Dude, his we read his biography on the show.
We read excerpts from his fucking biography that's from the foster from the foster house to the White House.
And in it, I think he says he wants Trump to adopt him because it would trigger the libs if If he had a father, like actually just kidding.
Oh yeah, it would trigger the libs if Trump had a black son.
Yeah, a black like 37 year old.
No, he's like older than that, right?
He's got like 45.
I think he's way older than he looks.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Because it's the him.
His his diminutive height really throws you off because you see this short guy, you automatically subtract 10 years from however old you get.
Did you see his?
Do you know why he's famous?
Do you know how he got famous, Brace?
Uh, he was kind of just like, to me, just in the mix of all those kind of guys.
He went on Fox News.
He was like Fox News.
I think Jesse Waters, like comedian correspondent, kind of like how, uh, what's his name is Bill O'Reilly's.
tour mate now.
You bring him on for some color commentary.
He brought him on to talk about the Japanese author, the Japanese editor who got hired at New York Times.
And there was like the anti, the like ironic anti white racism in her tweet history.
Oh, yeah.
Where she was just like doing or, you know, anti Asian racism, but just substituting white people in there.
And the right wing freaked out about it being anti-racist.
And so he brought Terrence K. Williams on the show to be like, now she's saying she was doing racism to make fun of racism.
Does that make any sense?
And he just, Terrence K. Williams was like, no, that doesn't make any sense.
Here's some fortune cookie jokes.
So I'm going to call, I'm going to call her a panda.
It was amazing.
He literally told the elementary school joke.
He said, I don't know, Chinese, Japanese, dirty knees.
And it's like, and he's saying this on Fox, like on an episode that's specifically about how you you can't do ironic racist.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And he was very much like, that's right.
I said it.
I'm brave.
So then he like, he promoted his tour.
He was promoting his tour off of that.
He was like, I went on Fox News and I said, Ling Ling, and I'm going to be doing Ling Ling on tour for all of you.
Sick.
Sick.
Yeah, I feel like guys like that, like really short kind of squeaky voiced black people from the South, were like one of the most important, there was only maybe only like six or seven of them, but they were one of the most important parts of the Trump coalition.
Oh yeah, easily.
The only reason I'm paying attention to this election year is to see if I need to finally fold.
Oh, you should do it.
I just need to get saved first.
I'll get saved and then go full out.
Like get baptized or whatever?
Yeah, you might see me on his election tour.
That'd be cool.
Some libs here in the responses of Newsweek, though.
They were here.
Everybody has on said, I used to say I would never have a Ouija board in my house because of the negative attractions.
I thought this might be fake.
Alex, this is even worse.
Certainly not something this veteran and capital T bold true patriot considers a quote game.
Um, I did.
I thought this might be fake.
I thought this might be a true and on fan coming in here claiming falsely claiming to be a true patriot here.
Uh, and then I looked at everybody has on post history, uh, They have 61.5 thousand likes 12.3 thousand posts in the Newsweek comment section or whatever like Whatever proprietary comment section they use I think only a true a true patriot a true liberal patriot could have this kind of posting history Yeah, this is impressive I mean, that's like basically just using the Newsweek comment section as your social media.
Yeah, I might cross over like this might like, you know how there's a discus or whatever.
Yeah, could be something like that.
But even so, there's been no part of me in my life.
And I've read more news articles than I would say a majority of Americans.
There's never been a part of me that's like, I gotta get out.
I gotta get these people my two cents.
It's just, it's the powerlessness that being alienated from your labor gives you.
It causes you to seek influence in other ways.
Desperately so.
And I think that's what we see here in the comments section.
I sent you guys the independent, uh... There's someone archived the independent article on it.
But there is a really, uh... It's also, for some reason they all put how many players you need and the price.
Uh, which is funny because that automatically makes it always just read like an ad.
Or like an advertorial or whatever.
Um... But, uh... There is a line in here.
Um... Yeah, I'll get it on screen.
That's good for you guys because it kind of, it gets rid of the potential sticker shock, you know?
So they're already going, I already know how much this costs.
I will say it's $64.99 because we had to, there were so many lawyers that this had to go through to make sure that we wouldn't get sued.
But you know what though, that is the price of board games.
Also, that's it's crazy.
This is actually because this is like a bit like there's a bunch of shit.
It weighs like six pounds.
Board games like $80.
Yeah, like not.
$64.99 is like normal middle of the road for board games with this many pieces.
That's another reason to get into.
Crazy to me.
That's another reason to get into slot machines, because it's only, you know, a dollar to play.
Exactly.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Very fucking true.
New Storm, the capital board game, celebrates Jan 6th Riot.
This is from, yeah, The Independent.
This new release has filled an apparent void in the far right conspiracy theorist board game lovers market.
I don't know.
People who obviously don't listen to your Kickstarter sucks.
Writing this article a brand new board game is being released this weekend to mark the three-year anniversary the genuine three years flies by Yeah, what is time January 6 Capitol riots in Washington DC the right-wing podcast true and on do they link to your hell?
Yeah, I actually don't know if they link to that some of them is just links to like random shit Yeah, this links to like Capitol riot deaths article Storm the Capitol Truanon Edition, where players can relive one of the funniest days in American history.
It's so good.
Congratulations, Brace.
I'm so I'm so happy for you guys.
Me too.
There's a line, though, that says is one of the funniest things that they could have written.
That seems fake because it's so fucking stupid.
Players can gain points by stealing AOC's shoes or Pelosi's laptop.
That's true.
Yeah.
But they say in a podcast episode announcing the game's release, the host Brace Belden recalled seeing the riots covered in the news, saying it was the best day of watching TV I've ever had in my life.
It's true.
But this is the line.
He also falsely claimed about those who died that day that most of them died from being too excited, which actually is literally true.
We'll get to that in a second.
The thing is, is that they, if you actually look at the reasons that people died that day, even Ashley Babbitt, the universal sign of don't walk towards me has got to be the gun pointed at you.
Yeah.
Got to be.
I mean, someone points a gun at you, you don't need to say another word.
Well, sometimes they do want you to, if the police are like, come closer, come closer, come closer, lie down on the ground.
Yeah.
Most of the time, they're like, get out of here.
In that context of breaking into a building, it's got to be get out.
That's the only thing you can read into that.
That's one of my favorite photos from January 6th.
There's so many good ones, but the one that's just a photograph point blank down the barrel of a Secret Service agent's gun.
Yeah, insane.
Well, so she died from being too excited to pay attention to that and crawling over the barricades.
Two other people died from heart attacks, which, why do you get heart attacks?
Because you're having too much fun.
Another guy died of an OD, and I gotta tell you, I don't know if any of the listeners here have ever done drugs.
They're so fun to do, especially the ones that you can OD on, you know?
And then, uh, cause it's not like he was fucking smoking weed, like he was probably doing some little bit of fentanyl.
And then, uh, I think one guy died of a stroke, which, okay, I'll give him that one.
We don't know if that fun was involved in that.
Usually that is peaking out fun and something closing, so that's, yeah.
Exactly.
And then the police officers that died, okay, Brian Sicknick died, like, later that night or whatever, in the middle of the night, probably because his body was like, you'll never have that much fun again, and then those two other cops killed themselves for the same reason that veterans do, because they had such a good time at the war, they know there'll probably never be the war again.
And so they're like, fuck it.
I'm checking out.
You know, I'll go to heaven where shit's fun 100% of the time.
And well, I mean, you know, I don't know whether it went there or not.
I'm not religious or anything like that.
I choose to believe for their family's sake that they did.
They did go to hell.
Also R.I.P., but it's probably less fun down there.
Everyone died.
Almost everyone died from just having too much fun.
And it's, and it's, they're just really, it's like a classist critique of the way you chose to just, you know, explain like the actual medical reasons that they died.
That's just for a broader audience.
It's, you know.
Sorry to go to fucking medical school.
He died of a heart attack.
No, his heart was filled with too much blood or too little blood, whichever one gives you a heart attack.
It's so important that you're doing that because people shouldn't be remembered.
People need to be remembered with joy.
We should celebrate their lives.
Don't dote on them.
Don't feel bad for them for their high salt diet.
Remember them for being excited people.
Yeah.
I'm sorry.
He died from being enthusiastic, which is one of the greatest things you can die from.
In fact, what Jesus Christ himself perished from.
I got just a couple more amazing responses.
I love comparing your board game to the evils of a Ouija board.
I mean, possibly even more.
Imagine what you're letting into your house when you open up the Storm the Capital game.
I love that, because I was like, I was recently went on a couple of dates with a self-proclaimed witch.
Oh, and and I was like, oh, no, man, the Ouija board was like invented by a board game company, right?
She's like, no, it was invented like 1890.
I'm like, that's not ancient enough for board games.
That's not ancient enough for me.
I don't think that counts.
It's got to be like 1500.
It's got to be like at the same time as alchemy or something.
I think your game is way more important than the Ouija board.
Like they had like cars 20 years after that.
Yeah, exactly.
You know, it's not that old.
Don't, I will say this to both to you and to listeners, the witch don't go on a date with a witch.
That's not good.
So whatever, however good, whatever else comes out of it, there's something weird is going to happen there.
You're not going to like.
No, I was, like, asked to, like, truly believe in ghosts before anything went further, and I was like, I just don't, I don't, I don't think I can do that.
She just, like, brings you into the bedroom.
She's like, hey, I just want to know before, like, this gets a little more, like, physical, like, um, do you think goblins are real?
Yeah.
Like, do you think that, like, if an orc came in here, that you would be, like, if my roommate was an orc, that you would leave?
Because if you don't believe in ghosts, then it's just going to be us two tonight.
Exactly.
You didn't even leave for them to show up.
I've seen Scary Movie 2, and she does have sexually ghosted.
And so maybe it was possibly trying to, like a Zoomer style, introduce a third into the relationship, having a ghost as sort of a menage a trois.
I think I was going to be the third.
Yeah.
You're the unicorn.
I think you guys might be overreacting.
Being a witch is so popular now that there's probably a ton of lapsed witches.
There's probably a ton of witches who... I put witch on whatever my information.
I don't really go to Covenant anymore.
I don't go to Mass.
Yeah, I don't go to Black Mass anymore.
Yeah, I mean, I would say this.
Listeners, if you're interested in an esoteric religion that can do spells and we sometimes use blood and eat people, then I would say check out Judaism, because we are having a hard time right now.
I will say this.
Our star is a little bit, no pun intended, our star is a little bit tarnished.
But I got to say, some of the most fire women in America are Jewish.
That's a really good point.
I think Natalie Portman.
It's a great point.
Big facts.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Right here.
Fox misinforms.
So I think this might be a liberal there.
Their name for the for the Newsweek comment section is Fox misinforms, says Republicans refuse to honor the foundational principles of you.
That's you, I guess.
Brace, you're the Republican here.
Republicans refuse to honor the foundational principles of democracy, the Constitution and factual reality.
Dot, dot, dot.
Isn't this the point of stochastic terrorism?
Brace?
Isn't he just bored?
Is that what this board game is?
Yeah, it's a stochastic terror.
What the fuck is stochastic?
That means that you're trying to inspire other people to do terror.
Yeah.
Okay.
9-11 was a failure because no one made a board game.
Well, that is possibly, hopefully in the works in the future, because there's a lot of numbered days right now that are sort of tragedies.
And my grand idea is to make all of them into board games and then slot machines.
I mean, that one kind of lends itself to a really cool board.
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
And also an unorthodox game design, right?
Because, I mean, this game is genuinely based off of Not really any game.
It's kind of just like a board game that has, well, no, it's based off a little bit Clue 2 in terms of the board, which I've never played, but one of the other people, the guys that definitely did.
But 9-11, of course you have Jenga, but like, I really think like, talking about the Catholic priest crisis, Don't Wake Daddy, trying to get out of that motherfucker.
But I think for 9-11, it's more like the mousetrap.
That's exactly what, yep, mousetrap, yeah.
Mousetrap.
There's also, like, the ants in the pants kind of direction you could go, where you have to, like, keep adding stuff to a tower or something.
And then, you know, I mean, that's Jenga, I guess, too, as well.
But, you know.
I think we might be thinking too hard.
What if it's just the basketball game hotshots?
Okay.
But it's just not basketballs.
It's a ball, but it could just be something else.
It could be ideas that are knocking something over.
That's so true.
Because, honestly, they did think they buried us, but moved us.
And ideas are bulletproof, as well.
The rest of this comment, I just like where she says, uh, this is the, um, I don't know.
He, she, uh, the monetization of trader merch.
And I did see a lot of people saying that this was an obvious like cash grab and you're, uh, you're just capitalizing literally on tragedy.
And that is what it looks like to the outside world is when they see.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, absolutely unadored.
We are trying to make as much money as possible, although technically I'm making no money off of, but I'm trying to generate enough money as possible.
It's an investment, yeah.
It's an, yeah, off of this tragedy.
Because I'm going to say this, it's a, it's a case study.
If we can get a bunch of money off one tragedy, think of all the other tragedies that have happened throughout history that can be monetized into poor games and thus into slot machines.
Pearl Harbor, the battleship sort of thing.
A day that will live in infamy.
It's crazy.
Like you could, yeah, that Pearl Harbor is ripe because they made that movie, did nothing with the IPM.
Where's Josh Hartnick?
Is he even alive?
That was Ben Affleck.
He died on January 6th.
Josh Hartnick was also in Pearl Harbor.
Okay.
They're both heartthrobs to me.
Is Ben Affleck the guy that, no, that's Brad Pitt.
Ben Affleck's the guy that drops the coffee and has sex with Jennifer Lopez.
So sick.
And it's the best way to not forget things is to game night is every Thursday.
You're remembering.
Yeah, exactly.
All right.
This was the best response.
But before we move on, this is from Kate Lord, 78 at GMA.
That just cuts off, I think.
Just putting your email in there?
You know what it's saying.
You don't need the ellipsis there.
You know how that ends.
Yeah.
That's just amazing.
Like you get as far as to be entering your email into the username and that it doesn't let you finish.
And then you still say, yep, this looks good.
No, I think I think that Kate Lord is pissed every day that she can't change her display name.
I think she's like, I fucking blew it.
I thought they wanted me email there.
And I think she hates I think she's aware of it and hates it.
If she knew that we were reading it out loud right now, she'd be just gone.
Anytime I see some shit like that, I sign up for as many mailing lists as possible.
Yeah.
She writes, I find this entire concept revolting, disgusting, and I think even giving it the waste of ink is irresponsible on Newsweek's part.
I did see a lot of that.
Oh, right here, though.
It's later in the comment.
I'll keep reading.
People died.
Husbands, fathers, sisters died and or were maimed.
Was Ashley Babbitt a sister?
I didn't I didn't know that she was a sister.
She was kind of like a soul sister to other people in the movement Sister soldier Ashley Babin getting iced was fucking Trump's sister soldier moment Cause he had to be like, I don't know this lady Whatever she has said about race in the past I don't agree with I denounce, I denounce Denounce Why don't we make a game out of Sand Hook?
Or Columbine?
That's a fantastic idea!
I'm e-mailing her immediately!
But also, cause like, Sandy Hook and Columbine, it wasn't really husband-father-sisters, it was like, children.
Yeah.
So that's one of the reasons.
And also, they already made it, it was like Doom or whatever.
Right.
This was an impossible day in our history.
This was a tragic day in the history of our country.
A fantabulous day.
This was a day an evil, narcissist man couldn't accept the loss of an election.
This celebrates the beginning of years of hostility in this country.
I cannot say enough.
To even report this without denouncing it isn't a matter Of if you're being fair.
It should be condemned.
Period.
How absolutely repulsive.
And I do like, I did see this sentiment that people were just mad at Newsweek for reporting your board game without denouncing it.
And so I just, I'm taking a lesson from that.
And I want to be clear.
We, Minion Death Cult, do denounce the board game.
Oh yeah, I denounce it as well.
Not only that, but we also condemn it.
Yeah.
Yeah, absolutely.
We denounce and condemn both things, everything around it.
Absolutely, I do not.
Whatever gets people to buy it more, I do that.
I believe whatever anybody who has $64.99 plus shipping handling, well not handling, plus shipping believes, I believe that as well.
I support it or I do not like it.
It's either a bad game or a good game.
Whatever gets people to buy it.
Well, we do have to condemn all right-wing podcasts, so.
Especially right-wing white supremacist podcasts.
We do have to condemn those things.
We're not white supremacists.
Yes, we're a racial realist podcast, but we're not telling what we're being real about or what the reality is.
You have to come to find out.
You actually have to find out.
Yes, I'm racist, but you'll never find out again, too.
Which one?
Because it'll surprise you.
But yeah, I mean, the thing is, I think that all these articles are straight up, and this probably has no basis to actually believe this, but I genuinely think that they're just AI generated.
Because I think what happened was one person at Newsweek did listen to the podcast that someone sent it to them, and they just reported what we said.
And then RawStory kind of rewrote the story in slightly different words, which I do think is AI generated.
And then like all these different, like, you know, websites will do like H slash T and just like slightly rewrite another article from a different website.
I think that that's all done by AI.
That would make sense.
I've seen that a lot.
I've seen there's like, yeah, especially in the right wing, you know, there's just like every Daily Wire or Breitbart article is also, quote, reported in, you know, hundreds of blogs, thousands of blogs.
I want to I want to try to send this.
I feel like Daily Wire has like young online Nazi guys working for them that would probably get that this isn't like that would get what we're doing or whatever.
And so I wouldn't go for it.
But I really want to try to get this on like Fox Business or something like that.
Yeah, that'd be cool.
Cause that's like, that's the audience is, is that we really want to reach.
Um, okay.
Wonderful.
It looks like a wonderful game.
Uh, go buy it now.
TruinonGame.com.
Is that what it is?
Uh, it is StormTheCapitalGame.com.
There you go.
StormTheCapitalGame.com.
We all want to dedicate this song to Cash Kelly.
And everybody who got locked up on January 6th.
Everybody who got accused of being violent and racist.
This goes out to everybody.
Yeah.
Free catch Kelly, he the realest one.
Everybody else faker than a BBL.
Whole Macca gang sweeter than a Cinnabon.
Fake Christians really want me to take a L.
I just want you to know I ain't forgot about you.
Or anybody else locked in a cell.
Every time I go live, I always talk about you.
Even though some days I be feeling down.
I lost my other phone, so I couldn't call you.
And I got into it with that bitch, Suni, she was awful.
But I hope everybody good and they move with caution.
The government not playing.
They really want an office.
January 6th, is they not racist?
They was only at the Capitol to stop hatred.
Getting pepper sprayed, hit with rubber bullets.
And the police let it tifa in the building.
It was crazy.
Freedom.
Jesus, break us free tonight.
Moving on.
I'm getting word here.
Unions are destroying Israel.
Unions are hell-bent on eliminating the state of Israel.
because I have an article here that I just didn't pull up.
I didn't pull up yet.
Sorry, buddy.
I UAW Union Calls for Ceasefire in Israel-Hamas War.
The UAW signed on to a letter calling for President Biden to push for an end to the siege of Gaza.
I thought this would be fun to talk about with you, Brace.
I know you were part of the Anchor Union, Anchor Brewery Union.
I'm a Teamster.
I think, Tony, I always forget.
Did you ever make it to Teamster?
No.
I've never had the privilege of being part of a union.
You know what the Teamsters did do, though, once we organized Anchor?
They sent a guy out the day after we announced it, who surveyed some of our guys and was like, are you happy with your choice of union?
Perhaps you'd like to go with Teamsters.
And our plan was like, we got to lure this guy to a bar and beat the fuck out of him.
Because there's Teamsters and there's Teamsters.
There's very many different kinds of Teamsters.
I work very closely with a lot of Teamsters.
I love the Teamsters.
But it's kind of cool to have B for the team.
I don't know.
It sounds like he was offering you guys help.
It sounds like he just wanted to help out.
That's what I heard.
I feel like you, I mean, I don't know why he didn't just show up with like the merch catalog.
I know.
You want to wear this shit?
We actually, I ended up in a pretty sick jacket.
Do you have a jacket?
Yeah, my girlfriend got me a jacket for my birthday.
So tight.
It's like having a gut.
Well, it's just, well, okay.
I, I, I know what you mean, but it's, it's even better than having a gun because like the jacket is like something I would never have bought myself.
Um, you know, I'll buy myself a gun, no problem.
But like the jacket, it's, it feels like, like I'm a professional boxer or something.
Yeah.
And it's like, I don't, I don't feel comfortable giving myself that title, but if like a loved one, you know, gives it to me, well then, you know, and I've been a teamster for, uh, 16 years now.
So I, you know, if it's a, if it's, I can just be like, Oh, you know, if somebody makes fun of the jacket, which probably wouldn't happen, but I can just be like, ah, my, my girlfriend got it for me.
Oh yeah.
Oh yeah.
I don't know who would make fun of a teamster jacket.
It's also better than a gun because you can still just have a gun.
Well, yeah, with a gun, you can get as many teams as jackets as there are.
That's that's also true.
And I can't just wear a jacket that says like, genuinely good guy, like, no cares about some cool things.
I can't wear a jacket that just says that.
And so that's that's that's the way to go.
I wear a jacket that says podcaster.
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
So the United Auto Workers Union officially called for a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war on Friday.
So this is from a couple, a few weeks ago.
Becoming the largest labor organization in the U.S.
to do so, the union reposted a message on Axe Twitter from UAW Region 9A Director Brandon Mancia announcing the executive board's decision to call for a ceasefire in Israel and, quote, Palestine.
That's great.
I love scare quotes around.
Palestine from Fox Business, apparently referring to Gaza.
The UAW's board is led by President Sean Fane.
And then, yeah, Sean Fane, of course, co-signed this.
I think that is why Sean O'Brien, president of the Teamsters, was meeting with Trump, was, yeah, to try and negotiate a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas.
So everybody can just stop being mad at him now, I think.
That's amazing.
It's funny because like, you know, the the we're watching the window shift on this so fast, right?
And it's like every day it becomes more apparent that people are on the wrong side of this.
And so if something like this, because I mean, we had we had the fucking Dodgers putting out statements that are like, we stand with Israel.
And it's like.
OK, cool.
So the opposites that like is the UAW saying, hey, ceasefire time, like free Palestine time that says so much about the shift.
And I think it's huge.
Yeah.
Yeah, I agree.
Yeah.
There's several unions.
The UFC W 3000, which is represents 50,000 members in groceries.
There's like a postal change the number to 50,000.
Then if it's from what, what are you talking about?
3000 from, Oh, I thought you were saying the name of the, of the, of the organization was 3000.
Sorry.
Yeah, now I get it.
Sorry.
I'm like looking at seven things at once.
I get it.
Yeah, the tweet goes from opposing fascism in World War Two to mobilizing against apartheid South Africa and the Contra War.
The UAW is consistently stood for justice across the globe, which is sick.
That's kind of cool.
Like, it's it's probably annoying at the time to have to rally your union around, like, not strictly union stuff.
But then you get to say, like, no, we were against, you know, apartheid.
UAW has not always covered themselves in glory in terms of foreign policy throughout their history, but I'll let it slide in this case.
Yeah, well, this this is like, you know, trying to talk to the better angels, I guess.
Yes.
Absolutely.
Yeah.
It's like you're not we're not going to be upset with him for being right this time.
Yeah, I know.
But I do genuinely like Sean Fane a lot.
Like, I think he is.
He seems like everyone has told me he knows him.
He's a pretty solid guy.
I mean, this this issue has got us going like, oh, good job, South Africa, which is like a crazy thing.
I thought I would never think in my mind.
Yeah.
So, you know, it's OK.
It can be right every once in a while.
Yeah.
Here we go.
I'm reading from The Guardian here.
Ceasefire resolutions among local and national labor unions in the U.S.
have been increasing since early October.
The American Postal Workers Union, the UAE Union, the California Nurses Association, the Chicago Teachers Union and several other local unions and worker groups have issued public calls for immediate and permanent ceasefire.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's sick.
I mean, it's great.
I don't think anything is like that in the works at Teamsters, unfortunately.
Yeah, I think Teamsters generally stays pretty neutral to right-wing stuff, right?
Yeah, that's like the whole Trump thing.
I don't know.
Him meeting, I'll just say, we don't need to get into it.
I've seen a lot of like pearl clutching from Sean O'Brien meeting with Donald Trump, who again, like is the former president of the fucking United States, could be the president of the United States again.
And it's just a weird hard line that people have, because like if I was going to be mad about Sean O'Brien working with people, like I should also be mad about him working with Biden.
There's like a lot of... Absolutely, yes.
Yeah.
There's like a lot of shit that Joe Biden has done that I would consider unconscionable and would like, you know, you not just that, but like damaging and just, you know, if, if we're going to draw hard and fast lines, it would be before we got to Biden.
It wouldn't stop after by between Biden and Trump, you know?
I fully agree.
I think I think a lot of people just like view, even if Democrats are like, yeah, like a Democratic president like Joe Biden, right?
Like they would automatically view that like, no matter what he's done as being just less unsavory than meeting with any Republican, which is just like this sort of like lingering liberalism that people who might say that they've kind of cleansed themselves from that actually do retain.
But like, yeah, I think I think there's totally different metrics that people use that have no basis in any political reality.
I think like the selfie is stupid, like the selfie he fucking took with Trump is is dumb.
But yeah, he's he's like Trump is essentially a world leader.
You know what I mean?
It's it's it's I don't know.
It's pretty funny to pick that as your pearl clutching point, in my opinion.
But anyway, I did want to bring up Fox Business responses to the UAW calling for a cease fire.
In Gaza.
This was great.
This was like a pretty common response from a Texas trucker, too, who says no union has any right to speak about any war anywhere, let alone the one in Israel.
It is simply not in their purview.
And frankly, capital and none capital of capital T, their capital business, which is I don't know if I'm familiar with that acronym.
Is there an N.O.T.B.
acronym?
Not not not of this business.
I don't know.
It's got to be none of their business.
Yeah, but I've never seen people are crazy with acronyms now.
I mean, this is like an old guy.
Yeah, I will say Zoomers, the acronym thing.
I just I don't even try to fucking parse them.
But this has got to be like, yeah, a full boomer, like none of their business.
And this is probably one of those things, too, where he's said it so many times, it like autofills for him.
Yeah, yeah.
I agree with Texas Trucker just on principle, like governing international conflict.
None of our business is.
But we need to leave that to the politicians in Washington.
That's why we elected them.
I don't know.
You know, we're just wasting a bunch of hot air right now, even trying to talk.
I agree with Texas Trucker.
That fucking blink is the goat, dude.
He's fucking he's I mean, people people thought I thought he was a bitch when he came in because he looks kind of young and inexperienced, but he came in and he's been fucking, he's been smashing it, dude.
Europe, China, fucking, is this Israel shit?
And so like, I'm fully with TT here, what I call a types of fucker, but just let Blinkin be Blinkin.
It's so it's so funny because I like the switch they flip is to like, you're just a stupid ass auto worker.
What the fuck do you know about foreign policy?
Yeah, it's it's such a funny switch to flip, but they do it.
And then he also says they get into such so the unions get into such things only when doing is seen as a, quote, virtue signal for the far left.
A total waste of union members, time and money.
I do think like getting together a committee to learn the history of Israel and Palestine, that does kind of sound like a waste of money.
That does sound like something that could be cleared up with a couple articles or maybe, you know, the pieces from from a book or something like that pretty quickly.
But other than that, like I don't I don't know that a lot of money is going to go into this this effort.
Do you think it's a virtue signal?
Do you think that this has any Actual effect.
I mean, I think that basically Israel's the only people that can get Israel to cease fire would be the American government.
And so it's like these things are these sort of like second order pressure effects of like, yeah, maybe if you pressure the American government enough, they'll pressure Israel to cease fire.
But I don't first of all, I actually don't know if Israel will cease fire under any we can stop giving them ammunition.
They could run out of certain types of ammunition.
I don't know if they would stop.
Doing what they're doing, I don't think that they will.
But I don't think the U.S.
government's going to call for a ceasefire in any case.
Like, I think a part of the we kind of ride or die with Israel.
Mm hmm.
Well, that's why that's exactly that's why it's like it may be virtuous in the sense that maybe it's a waste of time.
But I mean, like, I don't think they stand to, like, make money off this or like, I'm not I'm not like, oh, I'm going to join the UAW now because they're pro Israel.
Yeah, you know, so it's not necessarily like that way of virtue.
But yeah, it is.
It is.
It is a bit of a waste of time.
But like I said, it's also there's somebody who only does toe the toe of the political line of the union.
And maybe this is like good in that sense.
Yeah, I wouldn't go as far as to call it, yeah, like virtue signaling or pointless or whatever, because it's it's as valuable as any of us getting out into the streets, going to any of the protests we've going towards, like, you don't know if it's going to be effective, but you have to try anyway.
So I do think it's good.
And it's and it's like a pretty incredible achievement that, like, you know, the people within the union got got this through.
Jackson Lyons 491 says unions have destroyed America.
Now they want to destroy Israel.
It's funny because you can actually even make, you know, Biden, people like that always say shit like unions built this country or whatever.
Unions really did, like, have a huge part in Israel's creation, which I'm not saying is like a positive thing towards Israel, like the history, I don't even know how to pronounce it right, but the history or whatever there.
Was like a very, very, very important part of Israeli political life.
I mean, it still is, but really up until like the 1970s.
And so it's like, I don't think their union is like completely back in the war.
Of course, they're like big, you know, like Congress of trade unions.
I don't think that unions destroyed America.
I never understood really where that came from.
That comes from union workers making too much money.
They just forced the poor corporations hands to, you know, outsource overseas.
We outsourced to Mexico first, but then all the Mexicans came here and then destroyed America the second time.
And then we had to move it all to China.
But now China is also sending guys via Mexico to destroy America.
Dude, the reporting on Chinese military-aged males coming to America, I've never seen that before.
It's insane.
I mean, I don't understand getting mad about immigrants or whatever, but getting mad at a Chinese military-aged male is... I don't...
It's in like a weird racial way at all.
But it's just like it does not hit as like a crazy thing at all.
I think most people don't view like most people haven't been racially turned against China in the same way that we've been racially turned against the Middle East or Latin America or South America.
Yeah.
Like when people talk about like, yeah, like Mexican people or whatever, like there is like this like sort of infective or aggressiveness behind it.
But Chinese people, it's like, Yeah.
Well, it's also like most people, you know, have Chinese friends.
Most people in the West, like have Chinese friends.
And if, especially if like you're going to college campuses, you know why Chinese people are here.
Like, it's not, it's not for some nefarious purpose.
It's to go to call it, you know, and of course there's exceptions, but I'm not, I don't mean to overgeneralize.
I'm just saying like people have experience with Chinese immigrants here and they know, and they're not afraid of them.
I will say this too, though.
Military aged Chinese males is really difficult because some of the greatest warriors in China are like 90, a hundred years old who are proficient.
In a really esoteric martial arts or sort of.
Yeah.
And so military age can be anywhere from a nine-year-old master fucking assassin to a hundred-year-old wizened old master who you think is weak because he's hunched back and he walks with both hands sort of behind his back and he walks, he has a very long gear, but then you try to take one of his urns and he fucking snaps your neck in a crazy way.
Yeah, we're too worried about, like, the young adults and not worried about the old man with the cane that's actually a weapon.
Exactly.
Because I've seen Jackie Chan is old.
Still kicking ass.
Still kicking ass.
He can still fuck my ass up super hard.
Still doing stunts.
Yeah.
Michelle Yeoh, you know, she's getting more power in this society.
She's becoming more influential.
Something to keep an eye on, I think.
Yeah.
But back back to unions destroying America.
It is this weird.
These people have these weird ideas about like I was talking to my friend who works for SpaceX and I was like, what's up with like, why do you get paid so little and work such crazy hours?
You're building rocket ships.
And and she was like, well, fuck a union, because when I was at a union job, the people who were there longer would apply for the job, the positions that they'd get it.
and they would get they would get the positions and that's just because they've been there longer yeah i'm like no that's a that's tight like that's a yeah you just got to hang out longer like if you're going to be able to be that person you literally that's where the phrase pay your dues comes from yeah yeah they were like and they know and she would be she was like no they would just apply for jobs even if they didn't want them They would just apply for a position because like we wanted the position, but you don't actually take it.
You just, you just do it to like play around and test the waters or whatever, but that doesn't mean you actually take it.
But it's just so funny.
It's like, no, that's a great thing.
That's really cool.
That's so funny.
Yeah, you could have a better workplace safety here, but you'll also get better jobs the longer you work here.
Yeah.
And then we'll go on to talk about how like her manager's nephew is now like her boss.
See, the thing is, though, in China, seniority means everything.
Is that right?
They venerate their elders, which is something that American unions have learned from China.
That's because their elders could whoop their ass, and our elders really can't.
I could beat up most old American people.
Worship of ancestor spirits has really declined within the American working class, and I think that is some of the antipathy towards unions in this country comes from that.
Yeah, probably.
Snorphy633 says, Thanks for reminding me Mr. Fain.
I just donated $100 to the National Right to Work Committee.
I had been remiss in my support of them, but you reminded me.
I love this clap back when people are like, oh yeah, well I just donated $50 to a multi-billion dollar organization run by some of the richest demons in the world.
So there.
And also that you didn't.
You didn't do that?
And so you're just, like, lying about being lame, which is so funny.
Can you even do that?
Can you even, like, is there a link I can follow to donate $100 to the National Right to Work Committee?
They just sent a money order to the address.
This is fucked up too, because it's like, you know, Sean Fane will never read your comment, but some other people who might want a hundred dollars will.
And I wonder why you're sending that to some fucking... Rights of Work Committee should be funded by companies.
It should not be funded.
That's something that should not be funded by grassroots level.
I agree with that.
Last thing here, Obeseillegitimo676 says, and here I didn't think I could dislike unions anymore than I already did.
And then Agent007 replies, I never disliked them.
I always vehemently hated them.
I love these people.
So good.
Yeah.
Talk about virtue signaling.
I actually, I actually killed union members and I'll kill, I'll kill them again.
It's weird.
Cause like, I mean, I, I always worked in like, I guess jobs that would have been unionized like 80 years ago, rather than like 50 years ago.
Like I was worked as a florist or like I worked in a, in a boxing gym.
So that was probably never a job.
Um, but like, those are really romantic jobs.
Thank you.
Those are movie jobs.
If the movie was Requiem for a Dream, I would agree with you.
That's the part that you don't say when you were a florist.
I was deeply addicted to heroin when I was a florist.
And in fact, was once fired from a flower shop for heroin falling out of my backpack.
Were you doing like really crazy arrangements?
No, I was not.
These are like pretty like, I don't mean shitty as in like, Well, no, I think you could accurately call them shitty.
They were basically, they catered to people on the way to the Chinese cemetery and drunk Irish people, immigrants, because San Francisco is a heavily alcoholic Irish immigrant population in the sunset.
So they were very just cheap flowers.
It was a stand.
Um, and, uh, I was really bad at it.
I was, I was, I was bad at it, but I did try to be creative.
But I was fired for heroin falling out of my backpack and then they rehired me the next day.
How did they?
They probably couldn't get anyone else to work there.
They just eyeballed it?
They were like, yeah, I know what that is.
Oh, it was very, it was just like brown shit in a bag.
Did you just go, Oh no, my heroin.
There was just no way I could like say, you know what I mean?
It's, it's something, it helps the water.
It helps the flowers when you cut them.
You know, it's that shit that comes in the packet that you sprinkle in.
Yeah.
You put a little bit of it in.
Yeah.
I was just like, Oh, there's also at that time I was smoking it.
So there's also foil next to it.
But then they rehired me.
Well, we're glad you, now look at you, you're putting out a board game, dude.
I know, we gotta spend all the money on motherfucking, they don't even make heroin anymore.
And 80 years ago, 80 years ago, you would have been a florist who would have been in a union and you would have not gotten fired that day.
I would have been in the opium den.
You know, exactly.
They would have sent you away to take care of business and come on back.
I would have had a gilded little, like, a ten-year-old Chinese boy with, like, one of those ponytails.
Like, I'd be in a fucking alcove, like, drifting off, and he would come and offer me my pipe and, like, a cup of tea, and then I'd wave him away because I just want to think about my wife.
And this is why you join a union.
That's why you join a union, so you can think about your wife in the alcove.
Absolutely.
It is.
It is unfortunate the unions are going to destroy Israel.
But, you know, I for one, I congratulate them.
Thank you.
UAW is deploying 200 pound pronouns that they're dropping over Israel.
Yeah, well, thanks, Brace.
Thanks so much for coming on.
Thank you for creating this wonderful board game, Storm the Capital.
