Today we return to our roots as we report on a viral Facebook post about 3D printed meat. This is truly a subject that stands on a lot of moral ground.

I wish my heater wasn't going, but it is like 20 degrees right now.
Something like that.
It was about 20 degrees all day yesterday.
It's 26 right now.
Luckily it hasn't been like snowing, so it was still manageable.
I was wearing the most layers I've ever worn in my life.
I was wearing My uniform shirt, then my hoodie, then my vest, then my jacket over that, and then my keffiyeh too.
And I had thermal leggings under my shorts.
See, this is scary because, you know, when you've got layers on, what is encumbered now?
Your mobility.
You know, you're not as loose when you got layers on.
And so, just be aware of that.
The thing is, though, the coldness itself, the cold, some people call it, can also impede your looseness.
So it's kind of, you know, it's your...
Picking your battles when you layer, because you'll not get optimum looseness, but you would only get that in like a sweat lodge with several of your homies, you know?
Very true, very true, yeah.
So you gotta, again, like beggars can't be choosers kind of a situation.
The liberals are destroying California and conservative humor gone awry.
Conservative humor gone awry is going to fascist-phonia today.
So stay tuned.
We're going to take a few pictures of the desert and how their policies are actually messing it up.
It's not beautiful when you go across that border.
Stay tuned, guys, and we'll show you exactly what you're doing.
We'll show you exactly what it looks like when you're doing those short deserts.
All very remarkable stuff.
Stay tuned.
All right, I'm Alexander Edward.
And I'm Tony Boswell.
And we are Minion Death Cult.
The world is ending.
3D printed meat is responsible.
Again?
And we're documenting.
I don't know if we've had 3D printed meat yet, Tony.
Sorry, just meat is often responsible.
It's usually just meat's fault.
Well, it's usually vegan meat's fault.
Vegan meat, yeah.
There's a little bit of a distinction you might be familiar with.
Fake meat, yeah.
We're going back to the basics here.
At Minion Death Cult, we thought, you know, why shake things up?
Things have always been good and the best they're ever going to be.
Before we get to that, I did want to plug Miss Me Yet at the Beacon Cinema in Seattle, Thursday, February 15th at 7.30 p.m.
and Thursday, February 22nd at 7.30 p.m.
This is the Bush miniseries directed by our friend Christopher Bell, showing us through maybe not quite the rose-tinted glasses, Modern liberals would have us view that era through.
I don't know if that made any, if I said that in the right way for it to make sense.
I felt it.
I got the vibe.
If you're ever feeling nostalgic for George Bush, I highly recommend getting down to the Beacon Cinema where I will be hosting both screenings.
We're going to screen the first half of the series and then the second half it'll I think it comes to like an hour and a half or two hours for each screening.
It should be a lot of fun.
I kind of know what I'm going to be preparing for my hosting duties.
I probably won't take as much time as we're giving to the series, even though I do maintain that it should be split equally.
I think, you know, four hours, four hour show, two hours of me talking and then two hours of an actually entertaining thing.
I think that would be... Yeah, that sounds about right.
That would be only fair.
But I won't take the full two hours, but I do have some, maybe some stuff to share with everybody to prep the mood for Miss Me Yet.
And so we'd love to see you.
Tickets, I would love to see you.
Tony's not going to be there, unfortunately, but... Not even in spirit, actually.
Sorry.
No.
Even my spirit can't make it.
The Beacon Cinema is a cool, small Seattle employee-owned theater that we love.
We performed there with Street Fight.
We watched some episodes of Undercover Boss to kick off our tour with Street Fight in 2019.
And so it'll be cool to be doing something there again.
Something a little different, but it should be a lot of fun.
Yeah, hell yeah.
Mind if I throw a little plug in real quick?
Go for it.
If anyone is going to be in the Los Angeles area on January 25th, that's about a week and a half from now, we are going to be having a party called Crime Wave.
The theme is Like 2003 to 2007 music that we all listen to and dance to with bad hair and overly tight pants.
We're celebrating Jake Flores's birthday.
I'm going to be playing some music.
Eve Six is going to be doing a solo set.
If you want to get tickets, the link is somewhere that I've posted it.
And if you want a discount, there is a discount code for for listeners.
It's just MINIONS, all caps.
And yeah, just pop that in, get a little discount and come through, say hi.
It should be a good time.
Cool.
Happy birthday, Jake.
I won't be there.
But maybe, maybe in spirit.
Yeah, well you have to use the discount code to find out if I'm going to be there.
True, true.
Yeah.
Oh, one more plug.
We're releasing YouTube content fairly regularly.
Tony's behind the ones and twos on the YouTube studio, except for the live stream, which I do, but then Tony edits, cleans it up, and puts it out for you guys to witness.
Go check it out.
YouTube.com slash MinionDeathCult.
You can go there and maybe you'll catch a glimpse of the gigantic cyst on my face.
You know, it actually looks like a beauty mark from here.
It's okay, no one knows what that is from here.
It's charming from this point of view.
But seeing the Brace episode is another level to listening to it.
Things like that are fun.
This is a fun show to watch.
It's a great show to listen to.
But it's also a great show to watch, so check out the YouTube.
Brace is a fairly physical performer.
Just a physical person in general.
It's funny.
Yeah.
No, I have a giant cyst on my face that it did used to be a mole.
It did used to be an actual beauty mark.
And then my face got angry at it and exploded it with a giant pimple cyst.
Some guy, a guy that like I don't work with, but he's like he's an employee at a place that I pick up from on the job.
And he was like he tried to commiserate with me over the face cyst.
He was like, oh, I got I got one of those over here.
Like he didn't even say what he was talking about.
He just like, oh, hey, what's up, Alex?
Oh, yeah, I see.
I got one of those over here.
And he like pointed under his beard kind of.
And I was like, oh, what?
Like a like a cyst?
And he was like, yeah, you got yours.
And I got mine.
and I'm like, get that weak shit out of my face, dude.
You had to point yours out.
Like, mine preceded me into the room.
I don't want to see this pussy-ass shit.
Don't even try to compare.
It's really fucked up.
It's like the universe was like, this man's too beautiful for a beauty mark.
We must take this man down a notch.
And do you think that guy can relate to that feeling?
Yeah, he, no, he's, yeah, he's a beautiful man.
See, he, he might not have a giant cyst on his face, but he does have a giant scar on his forehead where he got into a car accident.
So, he beats me in that realm.
However, I'm going to respond to the universe's giving me a cyst, thinking, you know, hey, we're gonna, we're gonna hobble this man.
We're gonna take his power down a notch, you know.
Well, guess what universe?
I'm getting a young doctor A young, like, highly skilled, just beautiful hands, dermatologist, to cut this shit out of my face, and you know what's gonna replace it?
A scar.
What's that?
Oh.
Oh, hell yeah.
So, uh... That's right.
Sorry.
Sorry, universe.
Fuck around and find out.
You should be able to, like, customize your scar.
You should be able to ask for a particular type of scar.
Yeah, I don't want, like, scarification, though.
I don't want it to look like an intentional scar, you know?
You're like, can you make it go with the cheekbone?
Can you make it go kind of like in a line, like with the cheekbone?
I would like that.
That'd be great.
Maybe a couple zigzag, like a slight zigzag.
Yeah.
Let me get an SS bolt right here.
Tony, Tony asks for.
A teardrop SS bolt.
That means you killed a Nazi.
I'm gonna I want to get a Let's say give me the axe it's gonna be the axe and then I'll go up to the girls and I'll say X marks the spot ladies and then I'll Lean in for a cheek kiss It doesn't quite work so you actually have to get like a face tattoo of a map on your face and it's gonna say the word treasure next to the X and it's gonna make now do you get it?
Man, I don't know how mean I want to be.
I'm in one of these Facebook groups for music from the 2000s, and it's like ostensibly a hardcore punk emo group from the 2000s, 2009.
But Facebook's been recommending it to everybody.
It's like, that's how I found out about it.
They just put it in my feed.
And so now it's like a lot of kids who were like 11 in 2000 to 2009.
And it's just a totally different kind of music if you catch my drift.
And I saw some guy post something that was like, this is the best post hardcore album in existence.
And like, I used to think it was Glassjaws, such and such, everything you wanted to know about silence but were afraid to ask, but actually it's this one.
And it's just like a band that sounds like they totally ripped off Glassjaws.
You know, like, but like are less less inventive or whatever.
But, um, he was like, I don't know.
I don't know what kind of guy he was.
He was like a scene kid, a scene guy.
But yeah, from like the late 2000s or You know, 2010s or something.
He has... That's brutal.
He has... He's still got, like, bleached flat iron bangs.
Um, he looks like he's maybe 30 now.
But he also has, uh, cat whisker tattoos.
Oh, shit.
Which is the most insane scene tattoo I've ever seen.
That's amazing.
That's amazing.
Because this is not even... He's not even saying Catboy, I don't think.
Not at all.
He's not even saying Catboy.
He's just saying Seamster.
This is like I wanted... This is a whole new level of I wanted face tattoos.
Yep, yep, absolutely.
He probably has a mustache finger tattoo.
I think that's before his time, dude.
Yeah, that's before his time, yeah.
That was like, well, I don't know, that was like 2000s, but I don't know.
It's hard to remember anyway.
That's brutal.
I was like, how mean do I want to be?
I'm not going to...
I don't know.
I just I said like I love this group because every day and it was like a group that I knew who they were and I checked them out in the 2000s and I was like this band is awful.
It's not good.
The singer is like trying the hardest I've ever seen a singer try without actually smearing shit or shooting up on stage.
Like, without actually, like, doing anything extreme, this guy is like his, like his face.
Oh my god, his face is so crazy!
You know?
You're like, I love that you're like, you're, you're G.G.
Allen take is, what a try-hard.
I mean, I think that's what I've always thought.
I just never articulated so simply.
I mean, I'm I'm over.
I'm oversimplifying it.
I'm sure he was a good guy.
GG Allen, good, good man, but No, he's, I don't know, just one of the, like, you know how, like, the singer of Alien Ant Farm?
Like, that guy was, like, kooky and crazy?
Yeah.
Like, that's, that's what I'm looking, and they're, like, this, he was, had the most powerful performance, one of the most energetic people I've ever seen, and it's, like, he, he hung from a rafter.
He, like, grabbed a beam and put his arm over it or something.
He swung the mic around over his head twice.
He hit himself in the forehead every time they played to make himself bloody.
Which is something a lot of bands do.
I like it when Fucked Up does it because I know Damien really likes wrestling.
So that's cool to me.
What was the, there's a clip of a band like that where the guy does the mic swing and then like chokes himself with it.
Hell yeah.
And starts like choking on stage and can't get it like off.
Are you sure this isn't a sketch?
This sounds like a, like a TikTok sketch.
No, I'm pretty, I'm pretty sure.
And like, it's one of those things where like, you don't, you don't realize it.
I mean, you know what's happened, but they don't acknowledge it because the band keeps playing, but it's clear what, what is happening.
It was like, it was like a- I love that because like normally- It's Hawthorne Heights or something.
Oh my god, if it's Hawthorne Heights I'm gonna lose my shit.
I would love that.
I would love if that's- So cut my wrists and choke my throat!
Yeah, so good.
Oh, yeah, normally normally I was gonna say normally It's a singer who's supposed to point out that somebody's in trouble in the crowd.
Yeah, but what if the singer's in trouble?
Nobody ever thinks about that.
That's why being a singer is the hardest.
It has the most responsibility there is, frankly.
Okay.
Sorry, let's move on to fake meat.
What do you say, Tony?
Let's do it.
I'm all about that.
Alright, this is courtesy of, I think this was Kelsey, in the Facebook group.
Shared this to the group, and it's a post about... Thank you, Kelsey.
It's a post about fake meat.
I think Kelsey said she didn't like the idea of fake meat because she would know that an animal didn't suffer to make it.
So she wasn't into the idea because there was less suffering involved, I think.
That's where the flavor comes from.
Yeah, I'm just kidding.
Kelsey, I think, said the exact opposite of that, but...
Michelle Martin posted on Facebook, uh, welcome to the future.
A factory in Holland 3D prints 500 tons of steaks a month.
And this is where, I mean, just starting right here, I mean, you know, you know what I'm gonna say, Tony.
This shit should not legally be allowed to be called a steak.
There you go, yeah.
Off the jump.
Off the jump.
Everyone knows that.
You should have to say, like, brick.
You know?
It should be, it should have to be called, like, uh, stonk.
Something that's a misspelling of steak that's kind of similar to steak?
Like the Malk thing?
What if it's steak, S-T-A-K-E?
Because it's a high stakes situation whenever you eat it.
Because you don't know if it's going to turn you trans.
Exactly.
You never... Until it's too late is when you find out.
But no, I think it actually would be like S-T-A-Q-U-E.
You know?
Yeah.
Redefine Meat.
That's the name of the company.
Redefine Meat.
See, they're trying, they're doing Orwell right in front of you.
Yep.
Nothing is safe.
They're telling you.
Believe people, by people I mean a company trying to make money, when they tell you who they are.
They're literally trying to redefine the English language.
Nothing is sacred, not even the English language.
Uh, Redefine Meat Company will supply German restaurants with printed fillets.
Approximately 110 German restaurants are already buying, quote, meat from Redefine Meat.
Quote, to begin the 3D printed meat process, scientists biopsy a batch sample of animal stem cells, depending on the desired type of meat, beef, pork, poultry, or even fish.
These cells then undergo an in vitro proliferation process Bathing in a nourishing, nutrient-dense serum with a climate-controlled bioreactor.
Over the course of several weeks, these cells multiply, interact, and differentiate into the fat and muscle cells that make up bio-ink.
Then a robot arm uses a nozzle to dispense this paste-like cultured meat filament in fine layers atop one another.
How does this sound to you, Tony?
Rough.
Like, I...
I'm number one in line for the fake meat.
For all the fake meats.
And the thing is, I would eat the fuck out of this.
But the copy on this is... bad.
The copy on this is like, it's almost like it was maliciously written.
It sounds... It sounds rough.
I think Michelle might indeed be rage baiting.
All the reactions to this are negative.
So she might be the one who actually wrote this or she just selectively took the most visceral and clinical sounding language and compiled it together.
I don't know.
It doesn't really turn me off.
How does it taste?
How does it bite?
How much does it cost?
All of that stuff is way more.
That's the thing is that I know we have 3D printed meat.
I know we have lab grown meat.
It's just that I can't afford it yet.
Because if I could, I would I would be able to defend it right now.
It doesn't.
And it's OK.
So for anybody who doesn't know, I eat meat.
Tony doesn't.
I eat a ton of non-meat stuff, too.
I grew up around.
I grew up around weirdo vegans like Tony.
So I've eaten all the different kinds of vegan stuff and enjoyed almost almost every kind of it.
All this clinical language or visceral language doesn't really sound that much more gross than it's animal flesh.
Totally.
If you were to describe an animal's flesh in this detailed way, it would also sound like a weird Cronenbergian creation.
It doesn't really turn me off that much.
Yeah, like, honestly, if they were to do, like, you know, the real steps to the slaughter, then it might be, it would probably be less appetizing than this.
Yeah.
Oh, this was written by Brooke Becker, August 9th, 2023.
So it's written by somebody else.
Reactions to this were just wonderful.
You know, we've spent a lot of time on Twitter lately, unfortunately, and that's another reason why I wanted to Have just a wholesome Facebook post.
A nice, good old fashioned Facebook post.
And I was not disappointed because I found just all the archetypes of Facebook style posts were here.
Let me pull up the window real quick.
Okay, so this one right here.
I'm reading from a share, somebody who shared this post.
Jennifer Sky Franklin.
On the surface, this seems like a great type of Facebook post.
And then when you look closer, I think it's actually a new, also great type of Facebook post.
Okay, so this is from Jennifer Sky Franklin, who's got like a iPhone-generated user avatar, you know, like a 3D cartoon.
Yeah, for your guy.
Bitmoji?
Yeah, I think it's a bitmoji.
Shares the, you know, the fake meat, the 3D printed meat article, and says, this is not right!
I mean, I guess if we could keep us from eating animals, it's not that bad, I suppose, but it just touches on a great deal of moral ground.
And so I'm like, that's so true.
This isn't right, but maybe it is because it does indeed touch on a lot of moral ground.
What moral ground?
Yeah, yeah.
I'm so confused here.
Well, there's ethics involved in everything, Tony.
Obviously you've never taken a philosophy class.
Did you know that some people consider it unethical to raise factory farmed livestock?
Yeah, we only call those people, like, we only call them pussies, right?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Bitches.
Yeah, there's tons of moral ground.
I love it.
Touches on a great deal of moral ground.
There's so much moral ground here.
There's so many arguments to be made about this.
Definitely controversial, to say the least.
And it's so controversial, even I have an internal conflict with it.
It's not right.
I mean, I guess it is.
I don't know.
Uh, and then she finishes this off with, what are you guys think?
You did so good!
You did so good, Jed!
Like, you did so good until the very end.
Like, what happened at the end there?
Uh, so that's, that's when I, I, my suspicion was aroused.
Uh, this is AI.
This is just an AI post, right?
Somebody fed this post into an AI and was like, chat GPT react to this like a Facebook user.
And it spat out one of the stupid things it's ever been told to write.
And what's funny about the whole chat GPT thing is the whole thing is you copy and paste it, but then you edit it.
That's like the whole point.
And this is like less than a paragraph.
This is fine.
There's not much work to be done with this one.
What do you guys think?
It's one word they could have changed and they might have got away with it.
The whole point of doing AI is so you don't have to do any work at all.
And so this, this AI is probably covering like, or the, I don't know, whatever operation is going on is probably covering like a thousand of these accounts.
So I don't think it's in their interest to fucking like who, who could, who could care?
People still interacted with this post, you know?
Yeah.
It's funny because I see these things and my first thought is, because there's like levels of narcissism, right?
There's like, there's like podcasters like us, you know, where we're like so convinced people want to hear what we say.
But whenever I see a post like this, I'm like, Jennifer, who the fuck are you to do an engagement post?
Like, who are you?
So what do you guys think?
What are your thoughts on this?
See, Tony, I think your brain has been fried by the internet.
Some people just log on to Facebook because they want to have a good conversation.
And you're viewing it through the lens of microtransactions and views and plays and stats.
I'm the poisoned one.
She's viewing it through humanity.
Yeah.
Using AI.
Exactly.
Because at first I was reading that, I was like, Jennifer has a misunderstanding of what's happening here.
Jennifer doesn't understand what's going on with this fake meat.
But then I realized, oh yeah, it's because Jennifer is not real.
Yeah.
Somebody responded, Cheryl replied to Jennifer, I personally would rather eat the animal.
I don't trust that any corporate entity has my best interest in mind, dot dot dot, or government for that matter.
Well, I got some news for you.
Another another great Facebook post.
Hey, keep the keep the government and the corporations out of my non non branded food that I get from a guy on the corner that a guy hands me hands me in a brown paper bag.
But I don't it sucks because that's just, you know, as we're saying, that's just not true.
It's just people really don't have any idea of like where these things come from.
You know, they don't really understand, like, what the going on's behind, the reason why you can't eat raw chicken in America.
Sure.
You know what I'm saying?
Okay, this is the way I look at it, and this might be kind of a theme of this episode for the, I don't know, more discerning listener, for me personally.
What it is, is the corporations are already in control, right?
Yeah.
So, like, People are having a bad time with the corporations under, under control.
Terrible time.
Yeah.
And it just worries them about literally anybody else getting control, whether or not it's, what if it's a more demo, actually a more democratic system of controlling, you know, what our economy looks like or what our food, food standards look like or anything like that.
Right.
You have to say, like, I don't trust any corporate entity, but they're what we got.
So like, yeah, you know, the devil, you know, I think it is a lot like the devil, you know, is better than the one you don't.
Absolutely.
And the devil, you know, is even better if you don't know anything about that.
You're just aware of that devil.
Absolutely.
Don't, you don't need it.
So it's like, if you ever talk, there's a lot of people, if we can talk to most people in like America and you tell them, like, you have conversations around the food industry and stuff like that, and you bring up things like, um, uh, shelf stable dairy and stuff like that.
Like in most countries you can have your, your milk out for awhile and you can't have it out for like 20 minutes in America.
But they're like no, but I don't want I don't want anything else because I at least know I know that I have 20 minutes to put it in the fridge here.
I'm just I don't want to have any other new thing.
I think a lot of it is like just, I mean, I know it's reductive to a certain degree, but I think a lot of it is, or reductive and cliche, but a lot of it is like being scared of change because change is so often bad.
When you're in a country that's ruled by for-profit enterprises, the change tends to benefit them, right?
So I totally get being averse to change and being like, well, I'm still alive with everything we have right now.
Might as well keep this going.
I'm surviving right now, I don't know if I can pivot at all.
Because you wouldn't, you wouldn't know, you know?
Yeah.
This is another very common response on Facebook, sharing the post about fake meat and typing NO!
As Jessica Leonard did, just like a visceral, guttural declination.
You know, just like an expletive of disgust, you know?
It's funny because this is just I mean yes she's reposting the original post but this is just the pictures with the word no and so like I don't know if you were to look at this you I would I guess I would maybe presume that it's I wouldn't know what it is, but the bottom picture does look like meat.
It looks like, yeah, I hate factory produced things.
Sure.
I hate fake things.
The top one, you know what it looks like to me?
It looks like what we've had for 3D printed meat for decades, which is spam.
Totally.
And it's delicious.
If 3D printed meat is anything like spam, fry me up some.
Yeah, it's funny because there's been things like meat glue forever.
That are in most meats now.
And it's like... What's wrong with this?
This is fine.
We've done some pretty cool things like this.
You like hot dogs, don't ya?
Love hot dogs.
Love a hot dog.
One of the best things.
Somebody commented on Jessica's post where she said, no!
Heather says, once it comes to this here in early 2025, from what I'm hearing, I'm going vegan.
If I can't find locally sourced meat, puke emoji, puke emoji, hard pass for me.
Congratulations, Heather, on playing right into their hands.
This is what the WEF wants.
This is what they want from you.
They want you to go V. It's very funny to like find this sort of conspiracy side of Facebook because Facebook, like a lot of the more hard right, new right conspiracy theories are absolutely proliferating on Facebook.
You know, the WEF Is extremely unpopular on Facebook.
And, you know, eating ze bugs is a meme on Facebook now.
It's been one for several years now.
So it's interesting to see this reaction to it.
I will never eat the fake meat.
I'm going to go vegan.
No, I actually... I will not eat the bugs.
You know what?
I think eating bugs is immoral, actually.
Klaus Schwab cannot make me eat ze bugs.
I ran into something like that.
I was at this spot in Palm Springs two days ago called Chef Tonya's Super Good.
This lady who started Native Foods, I just told that she opened a sandwich shop called Chef Tonya's Super Good.
I was eating outside this older lady, like I'm talking like probably 65, 70.
Comes out and she asked me what I got and she's like, yeah, I just, I just started being, I just started being vegan.
I'm like, oh, that's great.
You know, good for you.
And she was like, I just, I don't trust, I just don't trust what they're putting in our food anymore.
Absolutely.
Yeah.
Same here.
I just don't, I just don't trust.
I just don't trust the dairy industry anymore.
I just don't trust they're, they're pumping in full of hormone.
And I'll, and I'll, and I'm just, I'm sitting there.
Yeah, totally.
Absolutely.
Amen, sister.
What's funny is.
So that is, that is what's coming now.
You know, it's kind of awesome.
Yeah, but I mean, that's true, though.
They are pumping cows full of hormones to keep them lactating and all of that stuff.
But it is funny to be like, I don't trust the hormones they put in cows.
They're going to turn my son into some weird non-binary kid.
I'm not even going to be able to call him a son anymore.
Yeah.
What if it changes her at this late age?
She's been so used to not being gay.
I mean, and people have tried to own these people by saying that, yeah, there is estrogen in a fucking burger.
There's estrogen in beer, like more so than soy.
Uh, it doesn't, that doesn't matter.
It's just the burger is like a cock.
Like you, like you have a fucking meat patty in your hand.
That's like having a second cock.
Yeah.
It doesn't matter if the contents of it are this chemical.
Do you know the chemical makeup of your own cock?
Get out of here.
No.
Get out of here.
Sometimes I just hold my bro's burger.
Sometimes I go with my bro to get a burger and I just hold their burger.
I want to just feel the heft of it.
You want to make sure he's masculinizing appropriately.
You don't want him to be feminized.
You need to keep a keen eye on your bros, fellas.
But yeah, Jessica responded, this can't be healthy or even safe to eat.
It's like, I don't know.
It probably is.
Like red meat is not that healthy for you guys.
Like I fucking love red meat.
I eat it like every other day, probably, if not every day.
But I know it's not good for you.
It's baby shit.
Jessica's probably a water girl.
Jessica might be on water TikTok.
Americans eat garbage, meat or not.
Just the regular shit we eat is crazy.
But water talk, that sounds healthy.
That sounds like you're getting hydrated.
You're not aware of water talk, are you?
Are you doing a bit right now?
I vaguely remember you, like, add a bunch of sweeteners and stuff to it.
Just so many sugars.
You're basically making, like, triple Kool-Aid.
Hell yeah.
And they're like nuts.
And they're just not good for you.
Do you get like desensitized to the sweetness and the sugar like the same way you get to caffeine?
So you have to just keep adding more and more?
That must be what it is.
But they're also adding caffeine.
It's like when I it's like when I take a hot shower and like even five minutes in, I'm like, I'm too used to this.
Gotta turn it up.
Gotta turn it up.
That's yeah.
Turning up the What do they call the add-ons?
What do they refer to?
Mix-ins?
Mix-ins?
Mix-ins sounds good.
But like, so like the thing is, they have, they sell these, you know, the packets of like Kool-Aid or whatever drink or Starbush flavor.
And that's supposed to be for one of the little water bottles, right?
Yeah.
And you put, it's supposed to be one little water bottle and still a lot of sugar.
Putting it into a shot.
They add like four of those and then they add like pumps of syrups.
And it's just insane and they have like, I think the cool thing they do is they all buy, um, they all buy ice machines that make, uh, crushed ice.
And that I can get behind.
That's all right.
I don't know.
I get my water from the fridge, so I don't need ice, really, in my water.
I do put a packet in my 40-ounce thermos every day, but it's a fucking hydrolyzing packet.
Yes, it has a flavor.
But it's got more hydrogen.
It's got... That's what it is.
It's got more hydrogens in it that help hydrate you.
Those packets are so fucking expensive.
You buy them from... I'd really do put one in my bottle like twice a day.
They're like a dollar a packet.
I'm like, okay, I got the Brita pitcher filter, so I'm saving money there.
I can't afford to ball out with the hydrolyzing packets, right?
Well, you know what's funny?
I think you're probably just drinking enough water.
They might be redundant for you.
But it's good.
They're so good.
Do they taste good?
They're so tangerine.
Oh, I know they're flavored.
Oh, then.
Yeah.
Run that.
Yeah.
You get, then you can spice up your water a little bit.
That's fine.
Because I was like, some people, the flavorless ones that I'm like, I just think you just need to drink more water.
Sure.
Yeah.
If you put a little, little, put a little stink on it.
Yeah.
Go for it.
Go crazy.
It does help.
I'm kind of like a baby in that respect.
If you flavor up the water a little bit, I'll I'm probably more likely to drink it.
Yeah.
I respect that.
Oh, I loved this.
Brandon Van Heron says, next they will figure out how to 3D print a living dinosaur.
Then Jurassic Park happens.
Like what?
What?
You don't have any idea.
What would you like?
3D print the dinosaur, and then, like, fill it with blood, and then, like, kickstart it?
Right?
Is that how it would work?
Yes.
You would 3D print the dinosaur, and it has all the fucking... all the blood vessels, and, you know, the entire circulatory system and all that, but it's empty.
And then you pump blood into it, and then... you electrocute it.
You get lightning to strike it, and that's how you bring the T-Rex back.
Do you 3D print the T-Rex from its feet up or off on its side?
I would think it would be some kind of mold, some kind of injection mold.
So you can get like, you know, I mean, I guess you don't need that anymore with a 3D printer, but um...
I don't know, maybe with a more delicate, you know, you have to have some sort of lattice work, some sort of support to hold it up while it's being built.
Oh, they do.
When they do 3D printing, they do supports.
They do do those.
They do the little, okay, yeah.
And then you'd have to cut those off before you start it because it'd be very painful for the dinosaur.
Well, that, and you're giving it extra weapons, too.
I can whip all those rods, those support beams around like weapons.
Like, we already have cloning.
Jurassic Park was about cloning.
Yeah.
I'm sorry.
This is a huge whiff for me.
It's a bad comment.
I'm sorry.
Dominic responds to Brandon.
They're bringing back woolly mammoths in 2027.
Did you know that, Tony?
They're bring back woolly mammoths in 2027.
Well, what's funny is like, so if you believe they're bringing back woolly mammoths in 2027, you believe they already brought back a woolly mammoth.
Cause like if they're, according to woolly mammoth cloning lore, there's a little baby woolly mammoth out there right now.
Oh shit.
And so if you're going to go for it, why are you throwing a future date out there?
Okay.
I'm searching on the internet.
Their bring back woolly mammoths in 2027.
Colossal Biosciences, founded in 2021, is one biotechnology company that has publicly stated that its project is to genetically resurrect the woolly mammoth, combining its genes with Asian elephant DNA.
It has publicly stated that it intends to complete the project by 2027.
Something that is definitely going to happen.
I mean, if a private company said it, a private company that started two years ago, I'm inclined to believe that they'll achieve this goal.
I'm inclined to believe that this is something they're going to actually do and not something they used to raise two billion dollars with and then will, you know, go bankrupt in a year or so.
Well, after the success of the Biden clone, I think they're going to get real ambitious with the clones.
Talk about a dinosaur.
Oh, yeah.
And then Brandon responds to Wooly Mammoth, I think I saw something about that.
They need to focus on bring back common sense before those.
LOL.
Only we can clone some common sense.
It's the rapper common.
It's a bunch of the rapper common standing around.
Oh, I thought you were saying that that's like a logic verse maybe, you know, or like a common verse.
Like, why can't we clone common sense?
Because Common's name is Common Sense.
Oh shit, I didn't know that.
That was his, like, original.
But I mean, it does sound like a bar he would have.
Isn't that him on the Thundercat album?
Where it's like, why can't we have a love revolution?
Oh, I don't know.
I don't remember that part.
Let me look it up real quick.
He doesn't sing really.
He does like talking.
Why can't we 3D print some gumption for this next generation?
Yeah, come on.
Can we maybe lab grow some tenacity?
Oh, Pharrell.
Not coming.
Oh yeah, Pharrell.
Yeah, it's a Pharrell alert.
Fuck Pharrell.
Fuck, you know what?
Very few people have hurt my feelings more than Pharrell.
Honestly, Pharrell hurts worse than Kanye, because Kanye's a little idiot.
But Pharrell's... Pharrell's... You know he's being a little Zionist?
You know he's out there being a fucking Zionist?
No, I'm... Why the fuck... Why the fuck are you, as a black man in America, being a Zionist?
Why?
What is... Where are you...
I fucking hate it.
Fuck you, Pharrell.
And I was really looking forward to getting his skincare line, but you know what?
Not getting any money from me, buddy.
Not for no moisturizer.
Not for no Zionist moisturizer.
I don't know.
So I think there's a lot of black guys in America who have strong feelings about Israel and think that, yes, the Jews do belong there.
And by which I mean me.
Yeah, you.
Common good.
Common was in John Wick, right?
Isn't that common?
Yeah.
Common's great.
Common's great.
Yeah.
I wouldn't tell him to get any common sense, but he's got a freaking gun pointed at me, you know?
No way.
That's because you have some.
That's because you have some common sense.
Why don't we have a theme park called Jurassic Morals and Ethics?
That's what's wrong with this country today.
Jurassic?
How about some Jurassic Logic, huh?
How about that?
Last reply to the 3D printed meat.
Steve Vandage Juche?
What, is he upholding Juche thought in his very, like, family tree?
Yeah.
Uh, I don't know.
What a wild last name.
Yeah, Vinda Juche?
Yeah.
Uh, Steve says, remember the movie Soylent Green?
And there's four exclamation points.
And I do remember that.
There's the bug.
Well, I hadn't thought about that movie in so long.
Nobody ever brings it up.
No.
And so you kind of forget about it.
Real slept on.
But in that movie, now that I'm thinking about it, it was about 3D printed meat.
And the horrors of it.
That's what it was.
That's what was fucked up about it, is they were actually, they were killing the people to power the machines to 3D print the meat.
How come, how come, um, how come, was it, was it called, what is, is it called, what's the, Snowpiercer?
How come Snowpiercer hasn't replaced that yet?
It has in the... I do see Snowpiercer GIFs of the cricket patties or whatever they are.
Good.
The roach patties?
That's the only scene that didn't look good to me was when they went into the machine and it showed all the CGI cockroaches being smashed up.
I'm kind of a hater.
I don't know.
I get it.
I get the metaphor, guys.
Some of the set pieces were good.
I don't like Chris Evans all that much.
It was that thing where it was fun.
I need to see it again.
I'm sure it's better than I remember.
I don't know, maybe you should try checking out the Soil and Green movie instead.
Maybe, yeah.
I actually haven't seen it.
But yeah, I'm not like a big Bong Joon-ho fan, I don't think.
Like, Okja?
Did you see Okja?
Okja sucked.
Okja was like one of the most annoying movies I've ever seen.
Okja was fucking garbage.
People loved that movie though, I couldn't say anything bad about it.
No, people shut the fuck up.
People are full of shit.
Okja was fucking garbage.
I wanted to like Okja, of course I wanted to like Okja.
Like, but that movie was fucking garbage.
I fucking hate that movie.
I just remember being extremely annoyed by it and like mad at it.
Yeah, it's the least satisfying movie of all time.
Yeah, but I mean, I like Parasite.
I liked the host.
Parasite roots.
I still want to see Memories of Murder, but yes.
And I'll watch Snowpiercer again.
I'll check it out.
But Parasite makes up for everything anyways.
It doesn't matter.
Parasite's an incredible film.
It is.
That's right.
I said film.
That's right.
Okay, but yeah, Steve says, remember the movie Starlight Green?
This is kind of like that because it's about food.
It's something I'm scared of.
And Tammy responds, Steve, this was kind of my first thought.
I did read most of these responses, though, to try and educate myself a little more.
Dot, dot, dot.
Oh, that's not, let me tell you something about the internet, Tammy.
That's not the way to do it.
I don't know what you're talking about.
Study, study the comments.
Study the comments.
This is how, how do you think we got to be so intelligent?
Yeah, exactly.
That's exactly it is the comments that that's how we got here.
And I should be getting an honorary degree from someone any day now for all the comments we have studied.
From Mark Zuckerberg.
Yeah.
We definitely should get some sort of employee of the month.
You know, I think I think we've done more than anybody to expose the human humanity, the human faces and human feelings on Facebook.com.
Exactly.
I think that we are the gateway to empathy on Facebook.
You're welcome.
Yeah.
I don't know.
I just, you just, Tammy studied the comments and it looks like now she's enlightened.
Yeah.
And is she telling Steve like, hey, don't worry.
I read some of the comments and I don't think, I don't think it's the same thing as Soylent Green.
I read some of the comments, um, also a Wikipedia about the movie Soylent Green and I think you're okay.
I think you're going to be good.
I think you're going to be good.
That would probably be the best thing to do for him.
Like, don't give him any more information than that.
Just be like, no, it's not a Soylent Green thing.
It's, um... It's not great.
Or you could just say another movie that has good food in it.
Uh, it's not Soylent Green.
It's actually the scene from Hook.
Yes.
It's actually... It's actually imaginary food.
And he'll be like, oh, cool.
Any color you want.
Nice.
I couldn't think of any other good food.
Yeah, no, that is like the best food scene.
Any Thanksgiving movie or... Oh, that scene in Oldboy where he eats the live octopus.
On camera.
It's like that scene, Steve.
An animal is in a lot of pain.
Dang.
Dang.
I like that.
You remember that scene?
Uh, no, I haven't been able to see it on film, so I won't see it yet, you know?
I want to give it the respect it's due as a real, as a real, uh, cinephile.
70mm or 35?
I can't, I don't know if I can admit out loud that I've never seen it, old boy.
I'm still trying to get laid, you know, by people, and if they find out I haven't seen it, old boy, it's over.
I don't know, that's a pretty good hint to drop if you want somebody to take you back to their apartment and start a movie.
Yeah, that's actually, yeah.
So I actually haven't seen Oldboy.
I actually haven't seen Oldboy for the record.
Yeah, he eats an octopus in like one- That's why I haven't seen it.
One take, and the tentacles are like, grabbing his face while he's doing it.
And that's, see, I don't want to, if someone's eating, if there's a live octopus on a film, I need to be able to jerk off to it.
Or learn.
Or learn.
Also, I should say, if you do hook up to Oldboy, make sure it turns off about two-thirds of the way through, like before the third act.
For sure.
Okay.
Okay.
Or just like turn, yeah, you don't, you don't need, you don't need that part of it.
Okay.
Good to know.
Noted.
Now I'm imagining somebody who is like, should I take Tony back to watch Oldboy?
We'll watch a different movie.
We'll start Oldboy.
Am I going to be the person who fucked to Oldboy?
I don't know.
I don't think so.
Nobody spoil Oldboy for Tony.
Don't you fucking dare spoil it.
No, if anybody did hear that, they're like, challenge accepted.
They're like, that's what I'm gonna do.
We're gonna finish to the finish of Oldboy.
gonna watch old we're gonna we're gonna finish to the finish of old boy no no yeah i wouldn't i wouldn't do it No spoilers, no spoilers.
No!
I don't plan on it.
I'm a cinephile.
I don't do anything when movies are on.
Yeah, one and only one screen experience for me.
Right?
Okay, let's move on.
We'll be right back.
Yeah, let's okay, let's do one short subject.
Uh, so I mentioned, you know, we've been doing a lot of Twitter bullshit, uh, because, you know, in a lot of ways, Twitter is the new Facebook.
Um, Twitter's also trying to be its own thing, which is kind of what we're talking about here.
Uh, did you hear that Don Lemon is going to Twitter?
Is it starting a new Twitter show?
That's, that's, that's insane to me.
Why?
Like of all venues for Don Lemon, I don't think that's, I wouldn't want to go there.
It is very funny because, um, the right wing hates Don Lemon, right?
For a lot, they think he's like a Black Panther.
They think he's like a gay Black Panther, which is like the worst kind of Black Panther.
They think he's like an African nationalist.
He's like a pan African nationalist or something.
Cause he says like, I've experienced racism in my life on CNN or whatever he fucking says.
Well, he's going to Twitter, or he's like starting his own show, which will be sent to Twitter.
So it's not like a Twitter exclusive, I don't think.
But I can't imagine a better fit for him.
Think about how much engagement he's going to get on Twitter.
You said that's where everybody hates him.
Yeah.
That's so many clicks, dude.
That's true.
I guess if you're just a rage baiter, this is the spot.
This is the way to go about it.
Well, it's funny because I'm trying to remember the last time that I saw them freak out about Don Lemon.
I'm trying to remember the last time I saw Don Lemon.
Well, he's been off CNN for a while.
He got fired from CNN a year or two ago.
But before that, he would just like make statements about Black Lives Matter.
Like he would interview people and, uh, oh man, there, there was something there.
He like reacted to a conservative speech or something like that.
Anyway, he hasn't been on CNN.
Um, and he's coming to Twitter and somebody put together a compilation of Don Lemon stuff for, you know, to like welcome him to Twitter.
Oh, not to expose him.
I think you'll be pleasantly surprised, Tony.
Nice.
So this is from, uh, the rabbit hole on Twitter, which is like a verified, uh, like, you know, right wing crypto Nazi, probably, uh, large follower account by 500 and 30,000 followers.
Um, and the count has made a super cut of Don Lemon's five things blacks need to fix about themselves.
Awesome.
Awesome.
So I'll just, I'll let the video speak for itself.
Because black people, if you really want to fix the problem, here's just five things that you should think about doing.
Here's number five.
And if this doesn't apply to you, if you're not doing this, then it doesn't apply to you.
I'm not talking about you.
Here's number five.
Pull up your pants.
Pull up your pants.
I mean, fuck you dog.
I hate you so much.
What year is this from?
Has anybody thought of this?
You just say pull up your pants?
Have you tried that?
Why would I try that?
If the world can't see my booty cheeks, the world can't see my draws, then you know that I don't feel confident out there.
People don't even really sag like this anymore anyways.
This is like not really a thing anymore.
I think this is from recently.
Like not recent recent, but I think this is it's so funny that this is on CNN.
You have a zoom in on a man's ass next to Don Lemon on CNN.
This is seemingly a white guy.
The guy whose pants we're looking at right now I think is a white guy.
I think that's white flesh above the boxers.
Might be a waistband or something.
I don't know.
You want me to rewind it?
Then it doesn't apply.
No, I'm not talking about you.
Here's number five.
Pull up your pants.
Walking around with your pants.
Yeah, it could be.
It's pretty pink right up there.
It's too close.
We're looking at the man's ass too closely cropped that you can't even see over his boxer shorts.
It's just ass up in your face next to Don Lemon on CNN.
This is so cool.
This is like the coolest segment CNN has ever aired.
Ass in your underwear showing is not okay.
In fact, it comes from prison when they take away belts from the prisoner so that they can't make a weapon.
What else?
And then it evolved into which role a prisoner would have during male-on-male prison sex.
The one with the really low-paying- Did you know this?
Did you know this?
Did you know this, Tony?
Sagging actually used to be a way for prisoners to buttfuck each other.
It was a mating call.
Uh, it's insanely funny that we're, that this was on, this shit that we were reading on Facebook seven years ago, Don Lemon just presented on, I can't believe nobody's fixed, uh, the poverty rates and, uh, you know, just like the poor health conditions of black areas of the city before.
All we had to do was say, pull up your pants for 50 years.
It's so funny for like all of these reactionaries to realize that that like liberals are right wing.
Thank you.
You know be like oh wow he's actually based meaning a stay a standard a standard conservative Let me play more of this video and is a submissive one you get my point okay He smirked.
He smirked when he said that.
When he said submissive one.
one.
Missive one.
You get my point?
Number four now is the n-word.
By promoting the use of that word when it's not germane to the conversation, have you ever considered that you may just be perpetuating the stereotype the master intended?
Acting like a nigger.
Now number three.
Woah, woah, woah!
Bro!
My guy!
Woah, shit!
Okay, it's so funny cause like, that one, I mean, it's funny, when I was like, when I was like young and like listening to like a lot of like, Talib Kweli.
I kind of was like, yeah, you know, we're using it too much.
And it was I remember feeling that sentiment and but now I'm to the point I'm like well I mean if every other motherfucker gets to use it like it You know might as well.
Yeah, if everyone else gets to enjoy it I'm almost a nigga every now and then is if it's just there on the table Yeah, yeah, I mean like cuz like again like if if some random person gets to use I want to be able to fucking use it so I'm gonna use it and it's just so wild to say like And if you're using it, then you're acting like one.
And it's like, whoa, man.
Damn, bro.
The fuck is wrong with you?
Yeah.
He's like, I still want that word to have power to shame people.
And you're taking that away from me.
You know what's weird?
It's coming across my feet a lot, and it is this.
It's this right here.
It's that whole thing where this is a byproduct of him feeling alienated for being a nerd, but convoluting that with, like, oh, they thought I was too white.
Yeah.
This is that, 'cause I'm seeing a lot of discourse about that right now, of nerds complaining about being too white for the black kids and too black for the white kids.
And it's like, man, you were 13 in 2020.
It's tight.
Like it's the best time ever to do it.
I know that's right.
My friend, um, my buddy, he, he grew up, he was kind of like a, you know, a nerdy black kid.
He was like really into school and did really well.
Uh, and the girl he tried to ask out, you know, she was, she just wanted the gangster.
She wanted the guy who was sagging his pants.
Uh, but then later when we grew up now, Now he's worth ten million dollars.
He has a penthouse apartment.
Uh-huh.
He wears a tuxedo to bed.
Every day.
He drinks martinis.
And then she came back to him with like eight kids.
Eight kids.
And was like, I love you now.
And he's like, get lost, tramp.
That's Don Lemon, but it's because he's gay.
It's Don Lemon, yeah.
It's because he married a guy.
But these guys, these guys on like TikTok don't realize they sound like Don Lemon.
You sound like Don Lemon.
Stop projecting.
It's okay.
It's cool.
Chill.
We love you, dawg.
I took this screenshot years and years ago.
I can probably see when it was created if I go into info.
I'm going to show it to you, Tony.
God.
Why is this happening?
Why did Don Lemon do this?
Why is Don Lemon holding an all-caps hard R?
Card he's holding a giant a giant and word card You know like a like a big poster board with the n-word on it in all caps It's so funny that it's it's the lettering is white on a black board That's like you you have to go out of your way to do that.
Yeah Yep.
The easy way to do that is to just print black on white board.
Yeah.
No, they had fun with this one.
They did it.
They took pride in this one.
It's tangible.
It's a tangible board that exists somewhere.
I want this.
If someone can get their hand, if I can get Don Lemon to sign this in white ink.
Um, I would be so happy.
Are we sure?
I'm looking at this now.
Is this from a childish Gambino music video?
Maybe?
Maybe I'm looking at the wrong image.
Maybe I brought the wrong one up.
Fuck.
And then, yeah, it says, it says, does this offend you?
It says the CNN chyron for the story is, does this offend you?
Does this offend you?
I think this was somewhere around the same time he was, he's been on an N-word kick, you know, that's been some of his career.
I think it was he, he like watched that episode of Boston Public and decided to do a special, to do his own special on the N-word.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Bold, brave, brave.
I think everybody should be able to say it.
That's actually my, that's, that's my woke interpretation.
I mean, that's because you respect the amendments, you know?
Yeah, absolutely.
I like that.
That's one thing I respect about you.
Yeah, the next one in Don Lemon's Three Ways You Can Cure Generational Poverty and Decades of Legal Discrimination.
Can you send me this so I don't forget to do all these things?
Yeah, I'll screenshot it for you.
Appreciate it.
Number three is respect where you live.
Parentheses.
For example, don't litter.
There's no way we still live in a world where racism is black people litter.
Is that still a thing?
Yeah, that's what he goes on to say.
He says he moved to Harlem, a black area, and he's never- he's lived in white people areas.
And it's like, I don't- It's so weird!
If you go to- if you live in any fucking city, there's litter there, man.
White or not.
Also, like, yeah, white people be littering.
White people be littering like crazy.
Everybody litters.
Everybody litters.
And it's bad.
Yeah, it sucks.
Um... But yeah, no, yeah, let me play the video.
Where you live.
Start small by not dropping trash, littering in your own communities.
I've lived in several predominantly white neighborhoods in my life.
Several?
Barely.
I've never witnessed people littering.
Imagine typing this.
He's reading this from a teleprompter.
Imagine typing this shit into the teleprompter.
I've lived in several predominantly white cities and I've never seen trash like I've seen in Harlem.
Yeah.
This is like, I, maybe I should watch more cable news because I don't remember, I guess this is like their closing.
You know, this is like Bill Maher's new rule where they just talk to the camera and do an op-ed to the camera.
Cause I, I actually enjoy this.
You know, you, this is where you get the real, the real stuff from not just what, you know, the, the powers that be wanted you to report on.
This is like from the mind of the anchor.
And he's just like, well, you need to stop littering.
If you guys want better literacy rates and stop, please stop littering so much.
Start by picking up the trash.
This is like Jordan Peterson shit.
Like the most charitable way you could ever, you could ever describe this is be like, okay, it's Jordan Peterson.
Clean up your room.
Shit.
And it's like, yeah, Jordan Peterson works for people who are already like have a stable level of, you know, comfort or whatever.
like Jordan Peterson works for people's emotional states.
It doesn't, it doesn't work for your economic state.
It doesn't work for like the class makeup or I don't know the, your demographic, your neighborhood demographic or whatever.
So it's just like, even if he is trying to do good or whatever, it's like so fucking insulting to think you can go on your million dollar channel and be like, oh yeah, the reason black people, The reason you guys are in such dire straits is because you're drinking too much soda.
Yeah.
Got to cut the sugar out.
Although, yes, you actually do.
And I want, you know, I will say that diet is one of the number one weapons used by the man, the white man.
And by the white man, I just mean like the U.S.
government and all of its tentacles, and specifically Alexander.
It is one of the many weapons that is used to slow us down and encumber us.
So stop eating the white man's meat.
Yeah, eat 3D printed meat.
What Germans did not white in this.
Yeah.
And for this particular instance, we're removing their whiteness to allow them to make food.
They're the OGs of this shit.
They're the OGs of whiteness.
Let me read some of the fucking, I don't know.
It's just, it's just funny for like, you know, cause all these people are like, Wow, I can't believe I agree with Don Lemon.
It's like, hey, you guys are both corny as fuck.
What are you talking about?
What are you talking about?
Yeah, the rabbit hole says, I hope this is the Don Lemon we see on X. And then Elon Musk says, Don is free to say whatever he would like.
There is no editorial Gestapo on this platform.
He just means him saying the N with the R. Right.
That's all Elon's talking about here.
But I just, yeah, we're free to platform all of his ideas about the inferiority of black communities.
Yeah, he can let it all out here.
We don't have a problem with that at all because we're principled.
This guy, I fucking love this guy.
Dr. Clown, PhD.
Whoa, I don't know if I'm ready for this.
Says, whoa, it feels strange to agree with Dom.
This is weird.
Is it Dom or Don?
It's Don.
It's not Dom, you idiot.
It's not Dom.
I mean, yeah.
That sucks when Dom... These guys got fast five brain.
Yeah.
You know?
Don is the original.
He has high T levels.
By T, I mean Toretto.
Uh, but Dr. Clown PhD, I was like fucking fast.
Look at this guy's... I hate this guy.
I hate this guy so much.
Look at this guy's insane AI.
There's a few clowns out there that I hate.
There's a couple clowns out there that I'm really not a fan of.
Uh, he's got like an AI generated image of, I guess, himself like doing the soy face at the camera, but you know, he's got a clown wig and a mustache and a clown nose and there's like circus lights around him and shit.
Uh, Dr. Clown PhD, Whoa, it feels strange to agree with Dom.
I looked at this guy's profile and I fell in love with him.
The first thing I saw when I went to the Clowns X page, his Twitter page, was him sharing a screen grab of a Bumble bio or just a dating app bio with a Young lady on it named Gemma20 and her bio says, I'm like a microwave.
Easy to turn on, warm inside, and if you put a baby in me, I'll kill it.
Dr. Clown PhD shared this and said, What is wrong with this generation?
Dr. Clown is like a classic clown.
He doesn't go blue.
I think maybe he's a maudlin clown.
He just cries when other people tell jokes.
Yeah.
He cries, and that's his character.
That's his bit, yeah.
Yeah, that's good.
I like that.
I just thought that was... I went to the clown's page, the first thing I saw was him getting upset over a joke.
Over a joke, yeah.
Over, like, a fairly funny joke.
You know, that would have been... Like an obvious joke.
A funny joke, like, a really funny joke, like, ten years ago.
It's even self-aware because it has the upside-down smiling face, which is one of my favorite emojis.
So it's self-aware and funny.
Come on, clown.
Are you sure you have a doctorate in clowning?
Well, do you want to see what he does think is funny?
What he does laugh at?
Yeah.
I found a joke he liked.
He shared a meme and it's of the Pokemon fish.
Uh, gasping for air, cause, or gasping for water, rather, uh, cause it's out of the water, so it's like flapping around, going, ah, I can't breathe, kind of a thing.
And then the top, uh, it says in like the hand, the fake handwriting marker, kind of font, um, it says, me choking on my own saliva for no reason.
And then Dr. Clown, yeah, shared this and said, this made me LOL way too much.
Twisted, crying, laughing.
He's fucking raw.
He looks like the fish.
They made him laugh that hard.
That's, this is not that, this is not funny.
What are you talking about?
You never done a totally random gag on some spit before?
And it's like, just all of a sudden out of nowhere, you know?
Sure, sure.
I feel like a fish out of water, I guess?
I think that's just like the face you make.
Oh yeah.
You know?
This made me lol way too much.
Dude, I said lol a penny the other day and she beat my ass.
Good.
She fucked me up.
She goes, no one says it.
Yeah, wow.
You don't say it out loud.
I can't believe your daughter had to explain that to you.
It's embarrassing.
I was like, no, people say it.
She's like, no, they don't.
Not at all.
She's like, you're such a dork.
She was like, she kicked my ass off.
It was really funny.
Hell yeah.
She's a social assassin.
She's like Larry David.
I like thought I was like being funny and like self-aware and I was making a little she was like nope no don't ever do that don't not around here bud which so you went lol yeah no I think I think something I forgot why I said it She was right.
She was totally right.
She like whooped my ass over.
It was so funny.
Just did not stop burning into me for like five minutes.
That's one of my favorite episodes of Curp is when Larry gets hired to be a socialite to tell that guy's wife that she shouldn't say that's so funny instead of laughing.
Yeah, that's good.
Yeah.
Well, I love that the response to Clown World from the original poster was, because Clown World said, I can't believe I agree with Don, and then the rabbit said, this was based.
Yeah, it's based.
That's like, the thing is, if you're doing something and people are like this, or saying it's based, then it's probably strangely racist.
Like, don't you understand it, Don?
Um, so I thought this was so funny because there's like people agreeing with this, bring this Don Lemon back.
He will single handedly fix some of the problems the black community has.
And like, yeah, sure.
He'll though, you know, what's going to happen there.
You know, he's going to get his Twitter show and he's going to start saving America by telling kids to stop listening to hip hop, telling black people to stop listening to rap music.
And then they're going to slap him with a bunch of rape charges like they did to the other guy.
Yep.
Same old thing.
Yeah.
It's like, don't you know that the black community is aware of him and we don't care about him.
We don't care for him.
He's for you.
He's there for you.
The only Don Lemon I like is drunk on New Year's Eve Don Lemon.
I think I remembered that.
Yeah.
And it's funny because, you know, they used to like use it against him that he had a white husband.
That Don Lemon's husband is white.
You know, they used to be like, well, this guy's a hypocrite because he hates white people.
I've heard him say that, you know, people shouldn't be, it shouldn't be legal to run over protesters with your truck.
Meaning he hates white people.
Uh, and yet he's got a white husband.
This guy's a hypocrite.
And it's the same, it's the same thing they say about AOC.
It's the same thing they say about Ilhan Omar, who's also got a white husband.
And it's just so funny to me that that's the conclusion you have to come to when you refuse to, like, rescind the made-up thing you started off with.
You know, that Don Lemon hates white people.
Wouldn't it be easier to conclude, oh, I guess maybe he doesn't hate white people if he has a white husband.
Like, I know that's not proof of anything.
It's, you know, I'm not trying to say it's like, oh, my best friend is white, so I'm not a racist or whatever.
But it would seem like maybe you should like rethink the initial thing you said instead of doubling back and being like, wow, they're hypocritical twice.
Yeah.
No, no, the people understand that like my proclivity for like white women is malicious.
It's not, it's for the proof that I hate white people.
It's not, it's not, it doesn't, does not redemption at all.
Right.
You're forcing them to go through all of that.
That does not explain Don Lemon because you know, like he can't, he can't really, he's not really helping out with that issue.
You know what I'm saying?
He's not really doing any replacement there.
I like the idea of like, Being like, what a hypocrite.
He hates white people, or AOC hates white people, yet she's married to one.
Why do you think in your head she's married to white people if she's telling you to hate white people?
Do you think the charm of white people was too seductive for her?
That even though she does hate white people?
Like, that big ginger she's with is just so fucking good at it that she has no choice but to succumb.
I think that's what you have to think.
No, it's a cause and effect thing.
Like, you know, you'd understand my hatred for white people if you met my bitch mother-in-law.
If you knew my mother-in-law, you'd understand why I hate white people.
I wouldn't be passing laws to keep white people down if it wasn't for my awful mother-in-law who I hate.
By the way, my search history is fucked.
Normally I try to search in a way that doesn't make me look stupid.
Uh-huh.
To Google, you know?
If that makes sense.
An example of which is I was trying to find out, you know, Ilhan Omar's husband.
And normally how I would do that is I would like just search Ilhan Omar and then click through her information to find her husband.
But instead I was like, rushed for time.
So I was like, Ilhan Omar husband.
And yeah, white guy popped up.
A white nerd guy.
A fucking guy in polo and glasses.
So again, it's like, you think Ilhan Omar hates white people except for this Mac daddy?
Like I, I don't understand the argument.
Um, but, and then of course I was like AOC husband.
And just as soon as I typed in AOC, Google auto suggested husband.
And I was like, I'm fucked.
There's like my algorithm now.
Like that's what Google thinks I'm looking at is just celebrity husbands and celebrity white husbands, white celebrity husbands.
Well, you know, the thing is, is that, is that they're pagan.
That's why that's how this works is they're pagan.
And you can't spell pagan without pagan, which is why you need to keep Christ in your thoughts at all times.
It's not even sexy.
It's just like witchcraft.
It's only the pagan is just witchcraft.
That's not sexy at all.
So when I was looking up their husbands to like, cause I was like, it is, cause it is, it is a weird phenomenon.
There's like the, you know, these, these people who are targets of the right wing for being supposedly racist and they're all married to white people.
I was just, I don't know.
It's a, it's a fun coincidence, but, um, I found this article that I, I, I didn't know about this and I'm kind of like, uh, I'm a little embarrassed I didn't.
But this is from the New York Post, so you know it's true and accurate.
Ilhan Omar stole my husband, DC mom claims in divorce papers.
So there's Ilhan Omar and her husband.
A Washington DC mom says her political consultant husband left her for Representative Ilhan Omar, according to a bombshell divorce filing obtained by the Post.
Dr. Beth Minette says her cheating spouse, Tim Minette, Told her in April that he was having an affair with the Somali-born U.S.
Representative and that he even made a, quote, shocking declaration of love for the Minnesota Congresswoman before he ditched his wife, alleges the filing submitted in D.C.
Superior Court on Tuesday.
So this is back from 2019.
Yeah, so Ilhan Omar's boyfriend, so I think now husband, his like ex, Imagine filing a lawsuit and being like, uh, yeah, my husband declared his love for undone dying love for another woman.
full of a person that my husband left me for her.
This is insane.
My husband fell in love with her?
Imagine filing a lawsuit and being like, yeah, my husband declared his love for undying love for another woman.
He was up front with me about it.
Yeah, talk about like posting your own L's.
Jeez, that's fucking rough, man.
The physician, 55, and her 38-year-old husband, who has worked for left-wing Democrats such as Omar and her Minnesota predecessor, Keith Ellison, have a 13-year-old son together.
Wait, hold on.
The physician is 55 and her husband's 38.
That's interesting.
So, Tim Minette, Ilhan Omar's husband, was almost 20 years younger than she was.
Wild.
Yeah.
And if their kids if their kid was 13 This man was groomed I I mean, right?
That's the math.
Yeah, absolutely.
Yeah, he was only 25.
Yeah, it's disgusting.
You know, I hope he learned to be by himself for a minute.
That's kind of sad.
Not even really an adult at 25.
Yeah.
Um, the parties physically separated on, I mean, it's not cool that he was like cheating on her with, or like, I don't know, engaging in an emotional affair with Ilhan Omar at the very least.
Uh, but it doesn't really come off sounding, I know this is supposed to be like sultry lurid tabloid shit.
Uh, yeah, I don't know.
Quote.
Okay.
The parties physically separated on or about April 7th, 2019, when Defendant told Plaintiff that he was romantically involved with and in love with another woman, Ilhan Omar, the court papers say.
Quote, Defendant met Rep Omar while working for her, the document states.
Although devastated by the betrayal and deceit that preceded his abrupt declaration, Plaintiff told Defendant that she loved him and was willing to fight for the marriage.
Quote, Defendant, however, told her that was not an option for him and moved out the next day.
This is rough, man.
This is brutal.
Yeah, I understand her doing whatever she does.
Do whatever you need to do, girl.
Girl, whatever it is that you need to do to make yourself feel better, hey, you do it.
Honestly, hopefully, maybe, I don't know, you can get some money out of this, something.
Because you know what?
Honestly, fuck him for that.
That's kind of crazy.
Uh, yeah.
I don't know.
I probably... I mean, I guess, what is this?
Okay, so these are the divorce papers.
Like, do you have to make... Are these public?
Are divorce...
I don't think so.
I think that when someone like Ilhan Omar is the cause of your divorce, they become public.
Yeah, okay.
Somebody leaked them.
I don't know if it was... She probably leaked them.
Ilhan?
No, the ex-wife.
You think so?
I mean, maybe.
I wouldn't.
It doesn't make you sound good.
I mean, I don't know.
It doesn't make him sound good either.
It doesn't make you sound bad.
I don't know.
It sounds like how a divorce is supposed to happen.
Yeah.
If it happens, you know?
It sounds like he did this bad thing the best way you can.
Yeah.
It's not bad to be with the one you love.
No.
I'm glad I made it right, you know, by getting married, you know, bringing the church into it.
I think that's the only way you can really make it right.
Yeah.
Alright, so that's the episode, folks, I guess.
Anything else to add?
No, no.
I can't wait to see how Don Lemon... I can't wait to see Don Lemon be able to read that word so many times on Instagram.
I'm sorry, on Twitter.
He gets to do his N-word show every day now.
Every day.
Yeah.
Every day.
His thing is going to be hashtag that.
It's just going to be, oh, Don Lemon's on.
It's trending again.
Yeah.
So yeah, congrats to Don Lemon.
