Time Text
The liberals are destroying California and conservative humor gone awry.
Conservative humor gone awry is going to fascist-phonia today.
So stay tuned.
We're going to take a few pictures of the desert and how their policies are actually messing it up.
It's not beautiful when you go across that border.
Okay, I'm Alexander Edward.
And I'm Tony Boswell.
And we are Minion Death Cult.
The world is ending.
Oh, shit.
The world is ending.
Father's Day is responsible, I guess.
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
And we're documenting it, folks.
What's up, everybody?
Thanks for joining the show.
Thanks for your patience.
This is maybe a little bit late of an episode this week, I think.
Yeah, a little bit, a little bit.
I'm glad we got it out.
I'm glad you're here.
Listener, if you or Tony, I hope Tony, you're listening to me as well.
If you hear any noise, it's my entire family watching a Daniel Day-Lewis period piece directly above me.
Nice.
Which one?
Room With A View.
Oh, okay, okay.
That's right, listeners.
I could be watching Room with a View, which I believe they just told me has Helena Bonham Carter in it.
I could be watching a period... Daniel Day-Lewis, Helena Bonham Carter joint with the people I love in this world the most, but I would rather be here with you.
Thank you so much for your sacrifice.
Yes.
You give so much to us already, and thank you.
We appreciate it from the bottom of our hearts.
Oh, well, you're very welcome, Tony.
I missed you, Tony.
I also missed the listener.
We were going to record last weekend like we usually do.
Well, we were going to record actually earlier than last weekend because my parents are in town, and dude, I had it all set up.
It was going to be so good.
Yeah.
We were going to record on Friday, right before I picked up, and it was going to be, uh, seven parent-filled days of bliss, uh, where we ripped down a rotten wall in my house and put up a new one, uh, which we are, we are doing.
Uh, but I got, I got like sick before they came out.
Uh, and it was like, it was weird.
I was like, ah, this is, this is COVID.
This is the one I did this.
I did.
Is it Sanford?
I did.
Is it Sanford and son?
I did.
This is the one I'm coming.
Yeah, I'm coming.
It's happening.
Finally, you know, knock on wood.
I don't, I don't know if, I don't know that I've ever had COVID.
I don't think I have had COVID despite working all throughout COVID.
I don't think I ever got it to my knowledge.
I'm not bragging.
I just, you know, um, and I was like, well, this must be what it felt like because I felt exhausted.
I felt sore all over.
I felt almost nauseous.
Anyway, I don't need to share all the details, but I was just like, I couldn't possibly podcast.
I was just hoping to get better, uh, before my parents.
Well, and I was hoping to not have COVID, which I, I apparently don't because tested negative multiple times.
And my doctor who was a cool guy was like, are you coughing?
I was like, no.
And he's like, it's not COVID.
He's like, uh, I don't know if you heard about this, but coughing is a pretty big symptom.
This COVID thing.
And I mean, there might be, you know, I'm sure there's cases of, but he was like wearing a mask.
He was, he like took it very seriously.
You know, he wasn't being dismissive about, about coronavirus or anything.
Uh, but like, no other, other stuff tested off.
So I actually have to go to a fricking specialist, uh, next, next week.
But I feel much better.
Long story short, I feel much better That's why we're recording late.
That's why I'm recording while there's a loud movie playing above my head.
But we're going to have a good time.
Don't let the FOMO affect you too much.
You know, I know it's going to be hard, but I think from what you've told me, I think we've got to show entertaining enough to where you're not going to be thinking about Daniel Day-Lewis too much.
Maybe a little bit, but not too much.
Just enough to influence in a good way.
What I'll be thinking about most is, and this is, this was like the, the, what do you call it?
The lead?
Uh, my, my dad gave me his, oh, well, he's playing like a fop.
Daniel Day-Lewis is playing, he's like a fancy boy.
And so I'm wondering, like, how fancy is, you know what I mean?
Like how, how foppish is he?
I've never heard of the term fop.
Yeah.
But I knew, I knew what you meant immediately.
In parentheses, derogatory.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Not really.
That's a shame.
You know what's impressive, though, is like you have been pretty sick multiple times since COVID's been around.
So it's really impressive that you've gotten really sick, but it hasn't been COVID.
I think that's really what's impressive.
Have I been really sick?
You've gotten sick a couple times.
What did I get sick with?
I don't even remember this.
Well, it was mostly tummy things.
You've gotten sick.
We got sick with some tummy stuff.
I have fucking ulcers and like a bunch of stuff went wrong with my stomach.
Well, you forget that COVID's been around for four years now.
Uh-huh.
So you, I think you've been, I think you've gotten sick a couple of times.
I've had like a sore throat and I, whenever I get a sore throat, I test and I don't, and it's not COVID and it goes away in a day.
Get that tickle and you're like, here it goes.
It's over.
But again, it's so stupid because it's like all of our tests were expired, but they're not technically expired because the government like, uh, Manipulated time and decided that enough time didn't pass for those tests to actually expire.
But I still trust him.
And so I went to the drugstore and I bought two tests that I'd never seen before, which I took as a good sign.
I was like, I think these are the newest ones.
These are the new joints.
Um, and I, when I opened them, uh, I think they were made years ago, but they, the original expiration date was 2025.
So I was like, cool.
That's better than the ones that say expiration 2021 or whatever.
And the government is like, ah, no, they're, they're good actually.
It's like they had to just make up an expiration date.
It's, but the thing is, is like, it's not that the tests go, it's, I mean, maybe the test does go bad, but, but my worry isn't that the test has gone bad.
It's that COVID has mutated so many times that this test is unapplicable to the new strain, the new variant.
Maybe that's what they mean when they say, well, this is, it's, we're actually extending the expiration date because that test still will You know, register this new strain of COVID.
You know, I don't want to be too negative about it.
I just, I don't, you know, it really doesn't seem like the government gives a shit about it.
No, no, not at all.
I don't think they've even thought about it in a long time, which is kind of fucking crazy.
I don't think they've thought about it in so long.
No, not at all.
Anyway, I wasn't COVID as far as me or the government is concerned.
So we're back.
We're back at it.
How have you been Tony?
I've been good.
I've had a nice week.
It was, it was kind of, I mean, I was sad that you were sick, but it was kind of nice having a little Saturday off.
Got to, got to chill.
Had a real fun, exciting work night at work that night.
I was telling you about, there was a, I was, I'm working at a bar, working at a bar in LA now, working the door, you know, doing little security stuff, whatever.
The door guy's like the most important guy at the bar because nobody can get in without the door guy.
Exactly.
And I turned plenty of people away for just not being cool or hot enough.
That's how you get a reputation as a doorman with taste.
Exactly.
Nobody's going to respect you as a doorman if you don't let people know what you're about.
Exactly.
Yeah.
I'm always like, oh, sweetie, that's so last season.
You're not coming in.
Yeah.
And you're right to do it.
Yeah.
We got to keep the place cool.
Even if it's empty and there's like four cool people in there, that's all that matters.
It's so much nicer for those four people!
Are you kidding me?
Who cares if you don't make any money?
Fuck it.
Um, but we, we had, we had a couple, had a couple of hooligans and work and you know, they left, they didn't give us any problems.
And, um, and I noticed they were like drinking across the street and it's across the street.
I can't do shit about none of your business.
You know?
And, um, they're getting a little rowdy.
They were sitting on like firecrackers, which is really annoying, whatever.
Um, and one of them gets ready to go.
And I'm like, Oh, these guys are super drunk.
There's about to be about to leave.
And his friends are like egging him on.
He drives like 96 Mustang.
You know, fast car, old car.
Wait, wait, what year?
Oh, you said 96?
I think it was, like, 96.
It was, like, the 90s era, you know?
Yeah, well, there's... Yeah, because it's the late 80s that are the really ugly ones.
Yes.
That are still, like, 5.5s.
Yeah, 5.0s.
5.0s, yeah.
It's still a badass car, but very ugly.
And then, yeah, when they hit the 90s, they start figuring it out again.
Yeah, they look pretty cool again.
And then they hit the 2000s and you're like, oh, you're kind of like halfway trying to do a retro thing, but maybe you're not committing enough.
But they're still all right.
And then you get the ones that are like late 2010s or like 2015, 2010s.
They're just so bad again.
They're bad again.
They're so bad again.
And then they made it into the SUV.
Now that now the electronic SUV is somehow a Mustang.
I don't understand.
It looks like a Hyundai.
Like, what are you doing?
This guy, this guy wanted to remind us this was good old-fashioned gas-powered muscle, good old-fashioned American muscle.
And his friends were like egging him on, like, yeah, yeah, you know, and like, oh, this guy's going to peel out of his parking spot.
And he's, like, backed into a spot that allows him to pull into the street, right?
And he starts to kind of peel out, and he, like, scrapes his friend's truck next to him already.
Instantly setting the tone for the rest of the journey.
And his friend's like, Oh, that sucks.
Like he's mad, but he's also like, no, go ahead and get it.
So are the wheels spinning the whole time he's communicating with his friend?
No, no, no.
He stopped.
He stopped.
And then he had to stop to slow down because the driveway, like you have to scrape, wait, are getting going now.
So he was like, he fucked up his friend's car, they got out, they looked at the friend's truck or whatever.
Didn't even do that.
Didn't do that at all.
Didn't do that.
Everyone else just kind of noticed, and his friend noticed, and they were just like, whatever, fuck it.
So he's pulling out again, and this is like a low driveway, so he scrapes on the way out, right?
Finally in the street, his friend is still encouraging him.
That's so good.
Sorry to keep blowing your momentum, but when somebody annoying scrapes, you're like, thank you.
It's the best.
It's the best.
And at first I'm more like, oh, cool.
This is already a W right.
And the street's empty.
People drive crazy on the street.
Anyways, he starts peeling out and he's going down and he hits a little fishtail.
And you're like, And then he starts doing the back-and-forth fishtail, and you're like, uh-oh.
And there's a bunch of us out front, because all the smokers hang out in front.
And we're just like, oh, shit.
And then he goes head-on into a parked Jeep.
So good.
Head-on into a parked Jeep.
The Jeep pushes into the car behind it, folds the hood of the car behind it.
The Jeep's basically fine.
Fold to the hood of the poor car behind it.
Some, like, older, like, Hyundai, like, poor person who got that to happen to him.
So then the guy's like, he crashed his car, and we're like, oh, fuck.
I'm like, oh, he's going to take off.
So he backs up and starts to turn around, and he starts to take off.
He kind of hits the power again, and his car is clearly messed up.
And mind you, I have not seen a cop all night.
I have not seen a cop all night.
As soon as he starts taking off, lights.
Right behind him.
Like, if he didn't hit that car, he was going to go head on into the cop.
Right behind him, pulls him over, and the best part is, he pulls over, his car is fucked, so he can't quite stop, so he's parking, his car stops, but he keeps rolling, and it goes into the truck he already hit.
Oh my god.
The only way this is better is if he hits the cop car.
The second the lights hit, the whole place was like, oh shit, oh yes, got him.
It was so funny, right?
And then to add insult to injury, this is some like macho dude bro, it was two female cops.
They got him out.
Sorry, this is how a porno starts.
This is how a porno.
So that was the weird part is that they like immediately started sucking him off.
It was so strange because I thought he was too drunk for that.
I thought he was too drunk to get sucked off.
Also I don't think they'd let twins be partners.
Yeah, but apparently these twins do everything together and believe me, they do everything And the best part is, like, his friends are still drinking beers in front of the car as, like, four more cop cars come around out of nowhere and kind of, like, surround and get him out of the car and all that stuff.
Four more cop cars.
Beautiful.
His friends are, like, drinking beers, and now they're getting in trouble because they're just hanging around.
They're hanging around, watching and spectating, drinking beers.
And it's like, this is California.
You can't just do that.
So everybody gets in trouble.
And then it just turns into like a block party in the movie Super Troopers.
Yeah, yeah.
The cops are doing beer bongs.
Yeah.
Someone brought a bottle of maple syrup out.
They were chugging that.
But it was so good because then they start going through the car and just taking so much stuff out of it.
Like so much illegal shit out of the car.
Like bags of who knows what.
Brass knuckles.
Nunchucks.
It was just so beautiful.
It was just so funny.
Birds.
Unregistered exotic birds.
Yeah, in cages.
They were fine.
The birds were fine, though.
The accident didn't affect them.
Yeah, it was beautiful.
It was so funny.
It was the highlight of my weekend.
It was really, really great.
So yeah, don't drink and drive, and don't drink and drive and try to showboat.
Just don't do it.
So I got just a couple questions.
One, if you see somebody do that, try to do a hit and run.
I was thinking about what I would do.
If there was no cop... This sounds like a fake story, Tony.
This sounds like cop-aganda, I will say.
Right?
Right, yeah.
Because cops never arrest annoying speedsters who do hit-and-runs.
Turns out you have to get in the accident 20 feet in front of the cop.
Yeah.
It was so, like I said, I didn't see any content.
I hardly saw anyone on the street driving on the street.
It's a pretty, like, when people do drive on the street, it's pretty fast, but it's empty for a lot of the time.
It was just so, it was so early.
But what you, what I, what I would do is try to get, like, try to clock the license plate and then you just write, write a note and, and slip it into the person who got hit, slip it in their windshield, and then they can handle it.
Sorry, it sucks for them, but you got to lead.
Here's, work, work, work the beat.
Now, I haven't seen yet, but apparently the bar restaurant across the street got the whole thing on camera.
You probably, yeah.
It's hard to pull a license plate.
Hard to pull a license plate.
If it's a unique car that somebody knows, then sure.
Yeah.
But security cams are great for that.
Also, I would say, have you ever, have you ever, well, you're a car guy.
You probably peel out all the time in your BMW, huh?
I don't quite peel out, but I get a little, I get a little squirrely sometimes.
Yeah.
I, you know, I, I drove fast as a kid and all that.
I didn't, I didn't like burn rubber though.
I didn't really give a shit about doing that, but I would say if I started fishtailing like that, I think my, my instinct would be to let off the gas.
Right.
And is that what he didn't do?
No, it's like he thought he was going to fix it.
OK.
He thought, as long as I keep it on the throttle, it's going to fix it.
And it just kept going.
And it was because we all saw it.
We all saw like, oh, he's going to oh, he's going to hit it.
And then, boom, he hit it.
But the cool thing is the girl who drove the car behind the Jeep, she was really bummed.
And then she realized that it was all getting documented.
And she was like, oh, I was I was that car was not in a good way anyways.
I'm like, yeah, we all saw it.
If you need, like, a whatever for your insurance, yeah, we got you.
And she was, like, stoked.
She was stoked.
The guy with the Jeep, who I think was fine, was really upset because Jeep people, you know, that's, like, it's personal.
It's their whole life.
Yeah, that's what else you got to live for.
Yeah, it was super funny, super entertaining, and it was great because it was a pretty boring night.
And you were getting paid for all of this.
Yeah, exactly.
Exactly.
Yeah.
And it was funny because like, so the night before I came in, they had me come in, cover like an extra shift, um, to have an extra doorman on.
And the same, they had extra guy on that night too, because apparently somebody, uh, threatened to, they kicked somebody out the night before.
And that guy was like, uh, I am in a biker gang and I'm going to come back and kill you all.
And I was like, Oh, cool.
So you called me in to get shot.
That's really, that's really great.
But none of that happened.
So none of the excitement that we thought was going to happen, happened, which is awesome.
And we just saw this really fun, fun, harmless car accident.
That's why the cop was there.
That's why the cop was on the stakeout was so when the guy would shot you, Tony, when the, after the guy killed you, he would be there.
Yeah.
So they can pull up and laugh at me.
You got shot, you fucking loser.
Yeah.
Um, I just wanted to clarify about the burning and peeling rubber thing, you know, because we want our listeners to be safe.
You know, we want like, you know, we don't condone like speeding.
Uh, it's, it's very nasty.
Uh, don't do it folks.
But if you're going to do it, you know, do it safely.
And if, if your car starts behaving strangely while you're trying to do a hundred miles an hour, you should, you should, what you want to, your first thing you want to do is lift your foot off the gas pedal.
Step one.
Easily.
And then if you really want to take care of it, maybe even put your foot on the brake.
Yeah, absolutely.
Can't go wrong with that.
Or just engage the clutch, hold it down, and roll to a stop.
See, look at this.
If he would have listened to this episode before he did that, this would have never happened.
But if you ever hear of me speeding or anything like that, just remember I was probably doing it in a controlled environment and a closed-down road because I would never be reckless.
Did you see that Donald J. Trump invited Sean O'Brien, the general president of the International Brotherhood of the Teamsters, to speak at the RNC convention in Milwaukee this year?
No, that's... that's... that's... all right.
All right.
Yeah, that's a lie told by Donald J. Trump himself.
Oh, no!
Not Donald J. Trump.
He would never lie to us.
And it was a lie via a truth.
Isn't that something, Tony?
Hey, don't they call him Tricky Don for some reason?
Something like that?
Tricky Dick.
That is what they call Donald Trump.
That's what they call him, right?
Yep.
No, Teflon Don.
It's because the truth won't stick to his orange skin.
That's actually anti-stick coating on him.
Yeah.
Don't make fun of it.
It has a function to it.
Uh, no, this is, yeah, Donald Trump on Truth Social.
I forget about Truth Social, dude.
Yeah, he tweeted out that Sean O'Brien accepted my invitation to speak at the RNC convention in Milwaukee.
Our great convention will unify Americans and demonstrate to the nation's working families they come first.
When I am back in the White House, the hard-working Teamsters... Hey, that's me, baby.
That's right.
This is for me.
I don't care if you're being triggered while listening to this, folks.
The president is speaking.
Listen, if you want the president to speak for you, work union, you know?
And all working Americans will once again have a country they can afford to live in and be respected around.
I can't wait for Donald Trump to be president and do so many good things for the unions because of how much he definitely loves the unions.
How much he totally loves the unions.
Yeah.
Notorious, notorious hire of union work.
He loves the unions so much, he doesn't want them to have to pay taxes, so he withholds wages.
He owes them.
Yeah, exactly.
You're welcome.
Sean, I look forward to seeing you represent the Teamsters in Milwaukee.
Together, we can make America great again.
This is like a form letter for Trump.
No, he capitalized our great convention.
Otherwise, this is totally a lifeless text here.
Obviously, Trump, his heart is not in it.
He does not give a shit about Teamsters.
It's very clear by his lack of energy, by his low energy in this truth, I have to say.
Yeah, very low energy.
I thought about it the other day when I was, I heard this rap song and he said, I think he said, my burn is screaming like a text in all caps.
That's good.
Who's that?
So good.
So good.
Shout out V's.
So, okay.
What happened was Sean O'Brien, president of the Teamsters, asked to speak at both conventions.
Asked to speak at the DNC and the RNC, I guess.
The RNC got back to him first, and of course, Trump took credit for inviting him.
Which, you know, I said it was a lie, but I meant that as a joke.
I meant that as a joke, as an analogy, because I'm sure Donald Trump means the formal invitation to speak at my party.
That's, like, what?
That's, like, host's privilege?
You get to just say, yeah, oh yeah, I invited him.
Yeah.
It's like, I know that's my friend's wife, but I'm the one who invited her.
Exactly.
I know you're here for her, and she's here for me, so.
Forget her husband.
But of course, like, this is just, it looks so stupid, like, I don't know.
It doesn't look as stupid as the photo he took with Trump a year ago or two years ago or whatever.
You know, Trump doing like the thumbs up and he's look he looked Sean O'Brien looks like a hostage.
He's like.
Um, but yeah, this is like, it's, it's, I don't know.
I, I don't know what, what the point of him speaking at these conventions are, especially for Republicans.
Like, does he think he can get something out of Republicans?
Like, I think, I mean, and okay.
So I voted for Sean O'Brien.
I like the guy.
I don't like everything he's been doing since president.
I generally like the new contract.
I'm not like an anti-O'Brien guy in that sense.
But I don't, like, I don't mean this in necessarily as bad as it's going to sound as soon as I say it, but I think it's more like he's going to the RNC as like a selfish decision.
As like a, I need to look good to my Republican Union members decision.
Yes.
And that I kind of, I understand it.
Like it's because there are a shit ton of Republican teamsters.
Like it sucks ass.
It makes no fucking sense.
And I'll argue with those guys as the day is long.
But the fact is a union is a democracy.
That's the whole point of being in a union.
And so the, the leader has to represent As much of the, as much of the body, as much as of the rank and file as possible.
And if your rank and file is full of a bunch of American dumbasses, like that, this is what you're going to get.
So it's like, as our job as being like left labor people who have, who taught, who talk to these people, live with these people, work with these people.
It's our job to, like, talk to him.
Talk, try to talk some sense into people.
And not even by party.
I wouldn't even be, like, talking, oh, well, he should only go to the DNC.
I wouldn't say that shit to, like, as an argument.
Like, I don't, like, who gives a fuck about the DNC?
Like, like, and I'll say this, Biden did give, give the Teamsters some wins with the help, helping out the pensions, signing into legislation, helping out Teamster pensions.
So that is something that, like, If you wanted to make that argument, you could point to, but I wouldn't even talk about party politics with any of these people at all.
It's such a dead end.
Like it's, you're never going to get anywhere.
You're never going to get anywhere with any of this bullshit anyway.
So it's just, it's funny.
I get it on one hand and I, but it's also, I get how stupid it looks because it is stupid.
Like it's just, it's just a token overture to the, to the Republican Teamsters, which like you got to do if you're in the Teamsters business, but otherwise it's so stupid.
Yeah.
It's futile.
It's like you're, you're kind of showing up.
It almost is getting salted later on when they don't do anything for you.
Yeah, I mean, and like my money now as a Teamster is going to partially to the RNC.
Like that was one of the things that the Teamsters just did.
That does suck.
That does suck.
You know, and, but a lot of my money has been going to Democrats too.
Exactly.
And that's not helping us outside of that anyways.
They got your pension, but not helping us out anywhere else.
But my money is mostly going towards me having a good wage, me having healthcare, me having legal representation, me having vacation, a lot of paid time off, job security, all of that.
All this other stuff is pretty stupid, distracting bullshit in my mind.
I would never talk about not paying dues.
If you're in a right-to-work state and you don't pay dues, I mean, you're not a teamster because you're not paying the dues, but you're a leech.
You're an asshole.
Start paying your dues, motherfuckers.
I would never talk about withholding my dues because of the Democrats, although that's what people in right-to-work states say.
People are like, I don't want my money going into politics.
I don't want my money going to the RNC either, so I understand that to a certain degree.
Just stop with the two party, the two capitalistic parties.
Why are we giving them any money?
Yeah, they're not.
If their parties were doing what they're supposed to do, you wouldn't need to be in union.
You wouldn't need unions, you know what I'm saying?
But they're not, so we do need them.
And it's kind of annoying.
What you should do is, you know how you send your dues in an envelope of cash?
You know how you hand them to some guy on the corner?
Yeah.
You should just leave like $5 out and put a little note that says, you might notice this is $5 short.
That's the $5 the RNC's not getting.
You might notice this is $5 short this week.
That's because I'm giving it to Israel, who needs it desperately.
So desperate for $5.
God.
There's probably some evangelicals who are tithing to Israel right now.
Oh, not probably.
For sure there are.
There's somebody who made a genius website that is charging a fee for every time you do.
People are just subscribed to Israel?
Your fucking nana is subscribed to Israel, bro.
Yeah, totally.
I did have somebody tell me the other day that they are on an auto payment to a Palestinian nonprofit.
I'm like, that's pretty cool.
It just comes out every month.
Me and my dad.
I'm like, that's awesome.
Good job.
See, I'm on an automatic payment to Scarecrow, Scarecrow Video, which I shouldn't have to be.
They should have enough money to operate and it sucks because now they're asking if they need to get like millions of dollars to keep open.
Scarecrow Video is like a physical media archive in Seattle.
They're registered as, I can't remember what the term is, like a museum.
They're registered as like a museum of media.
They have everything.
They can order anything.
It's an insanely cool place, but I think their rent is going up, or they need to fix the building they're in or something.
And I'm like, I already give you guys $8 a month.
I can't.
I can't do any more than that right now.
I'm sorry.
And that's what I also said to Israel.
I'm already giving you guys $8 a month.
Yeah, because I think we all are giving them $8 a month, whether we know it or not.
I'm pretty sure it's about $8 a month that every single person is giving them every month.
Yeah.
That's barely an exaggeration.
Anyway, that's about all I personally have to say about Sean O'Brien meeting with Trump.
I think it's silly.
Carol, however... Oh, I didn't even put it on screen for you, dude.
I'm sorry.
See, it's been too long.
I know.
Okay, I'm getting up, dude.
Stop freaking out.
I need to see Carol.
I need to see Carol.
Alright, there she is.
Oh, thank God.
Thank you, Carol.
Yeah.
Carol Stanton says, if I was in the Teamsters Union, I would be getting out of the Teamsters Union.
Given the current state of the RNC, there is no reasonable way to support both parties.
Yeah, I would say maybe either.
Either party here.
But, um...
No, it's not.
Sorry, my job trumps your feelings, Carol.
Yes.
I know you're upset that Sean O'Brien isn't 100% loyal to Joe Biden, but I still like having a living wage, so I'm sorry.
Yeah.
Sorry, bud.
Yeah.
What if they were like, if you were real, if you were real leftist, you would quit the Teamsters because... Yeah, you'd quit your job.
Because of Sean O'Brien speaking at the RNC.
Can't wait to hear that.
It must be a nice place to be in where you can just quit your job over something like this.
That'd be really cool.
Listen, like, we have a CEO at my job where I work that I don't agree with on a lot of stuff, you know?
It's almost like they're...
They're on the opposite side of a lot of things for us personally, you know?
But I still work for them.
That's just how it works sometimes.
Because unfortunately, eating is good.
Eating and shelter are good things.
It's good.
Well, and it's also good if you have a mechanism by which you can make people who wouldn't normally do the things you want them to do, do the things you want them to do.
Yes.
Not even want, but need them to do.
Need them to do to survive.
And if you could work somewhere like Costco, where you make a decent wage and I think you get treated okay and be like, huh, I don't need a union because my boss loves me.
Right?
And that could be good enough for you.
I would rather be like, no, my boss hates me, but I'm in a union.
So.
Yeah, totally.
Yeah.
Cause I, the one thing I, one thing that took me way too long to realize growing up is like, don't, you don't need to like your boss.
A matter of fact, don't like your boss.
You're not going to.
It's a diametrically opposed relationship.
Because even if they treat you like family, that means they're going to ask you to do more than you want to do.
Yeah.
And then the other response that I liked was Mr. Pyrex Man who says unions are the worst.
Sounds like Mr. Pyrex Man has been using the lead-laden Pyrex too much.
Or just like the less cool all-caps Pyrex that's not even that sick.
It's not as stable.
It's not as shatterproof as the lowercase Pyrex.
It's not as stable.
It's not as like shatterproof as the lowercase pyrex.
Yeah, not the good stuff.
This other James Jamerson says at Teamsters SOB, I swear to God, if you meet with Trump, I am out. - Oh.
Yeah, totally.
And then, so I'm like, so you're a Teamster and you're going to quit your job if he goes to speak.
And then the next tweet, he says, if he does this after Biden saved their pensions, then unions are finished.
So no, he didn't mean, because he says their pension, so he's not one of us, guys.
But when he says, I am out, he just means out of liking the Teamsters.
Out of the idea.
I'm cashing out.
Hey, I'm calling my stockbroker and I'm saying, take all the money out of the Teamsters.
Hey, can you take all the money out of Teamsters and put it all into the DNC?
Can you do that for me?
Absolutely.
I'm fucking sick of this.
I saw the news, too.
It's already been done.
Then unions are finished.
What does that mean?
You're going to destroy the unions now, James Jamerson?
Don't do it, please, dude.
Yeah, please.
Again, this is kind of the whole thing.
This is why class consciousness is so important.
This is so silly.
Guys, it's not about parties.
It's not about parties at all.
But it's beyond even being about parties.
It's like James thinks his fandom of Teamsters matters.
I'm not going to be supporting Teamsters anymore, guys.
I'm going to take the Teamsters poster off my wall.
I'm not going to buy the sequel Teamsters Infinity Gauntlet.
I'm going to wait until it comes out.
I'm at least going to wait until it's on streaming.
Just bizarre.
It's bizarre to be on Twitter and say this two days ago and have 31 people look at it and not re-evaluate what you're doing.
Yeah, yeah.
Not at all.
Okay.
He thinks he's making a strong stance here.
Thanks for nothing, James Jamerson.
Yeah, some of us have principles, and I only like the guys who speak at this convention.
See, it is!
It's a convention!
He's like gonna go get shit signed at the DNC, dude.
He thinks it's a con.
It's Democrat con.
Yep, yep.
I can't believe he would do this after Biden.
As if Biden's gonna be like, uh-oh, hey, he went to the other thing.
We gotta take those pensions away.
No, but I'm sorry.
Well, okay, here's what I'll say.
I'll put it in words you can understand, James.
What if I'm shipping Sean O'Brien and Trump?
True.
What if I'm doing a combination Trump-Sean O'Brien cosplay, where one side of my head is the fucking Boston bald bulldog, and the other side of my head is the waving Trump meme hair?
The wispy meme hair.
Don't tell me you wouldn't wait in line for 15 minutes to get a sticker signed or whatever.
Only as long as you're really good at doing both voices and you can maybe have a dialogue with yourself.
That'd be so impressive.
Okay, last thing.
That's it.
Last thing I wanted to talk about, Tony.
A lot of times On this show, we just talk about what I saw this week.
And what I saw this week was Hawk Tua.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
You see Hawk Tua?
I think I've seen Hawk Tua, and I can't believe that they're talking about the thing I think they're talking about, right?
Yeah.
Let me just show you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Put me on.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
Okay.
So if you haven't seen it, uh, so I still don't want to tell you what it is.
If you don't know what it is, listener, you were so old.
You're so lame.
I, I, I, it took me a while to find out about it, but I found out about it.
So that means I'm younger than you.
Um, and I want to, I want you to hang, I want you to sit in that.
I want you to hang there for a second while I describe my journey to Hawk Tua.
Um, so I'd seen this girl's face everywhere.
Not associated with the phrase, Hawk Tua.
I'd seen the face.
I'm like, what's the face?
I don't get who she is.
I don't know who she is.
And then I saw somebody in one of my truck, leftist trucker groups.
Draw Hawk Tua on the fucking, I don't know what it's called because I don't drive a semi truck, but what, you know, you put the grease on the thing that you hitch up to, you back into it and it's like a big plate.
And so you can draw on grease, you know, usually it's a circle kind of with a... That's really funny.
And so somebody wrote Hawk Tua on it.
I like how everyone agreed on how to spell it.
That's so fun.
I thought the same exact thing.
I thought, surely I'm not going to get the immediate hit by typing it in the way that they used the grease, the friction grease or whatever.
It's going to take a couple attempts, or maybe Google with its advanced AI will figure it out in a flash.
It's H-A-W-K-T-U-A-H, maybe, I think, at the end?
I can't remember.
I think so.
By the way, I hate how they spell it, That's not how I would have... That's not how I would have spelled it.
That's not how I would have spelled it.
But everyone agreed that's how they're spelling it.
I don't have to play the audio.
I don't have to pull up the audio.
Look up the audio if you want.
It's a video of a girl talking to a street interview and they're like, oh, what is a guy like most?
And she goes, oh, you know, when you put a haktua on that thing.
And that's it.
Which is so funny because if someone's about to like I think it's a meme at this point that's detached from the actual clearing of the throat.
And I don't just mean meme in this specific meme sense.
I mean in like the public consciousness.
The Hawk Tua means loogie status.
I think it's a meme at this point that's detached from the actual clearing of the throat.
And I don't just mean meme in this specific meme sense.
I mean in the public consciousness.
If you were going to say, I'm going to spit on that dick.
What's the noise?
I don't know if you would go, like that.
You would just do the tuh?
You wouldn't do the hawk?
Exactly.
Exactly.
Now, but that's the sound of a spit.
That's the comical sound of a spit that I would think of.
Yeah, you're not wrong.
So I don't blame her at all for that.
No.
No, okay, you're right, you're right.
Also, the more I thought about it, the more I probably would be cool with the loogie.
It's not going in my mouth.
It's not going back in my mouth.
Going back in their mouth.
I've never had a girl spit like that on my dick.
I've never had anyone spit like that on my dick, period.
But I would be sure.
Maybe not the number one thing I would say, but hell, I love the enthusiasm.
My number one thing is an enthusiastic partner.
And you seem great, you know?
Beautiful.
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, I'm not going to tell her she's wrong.
Uh, so this is one of the memes I saw totally out of context.
And again, so listener, uh, if this is your first time to the show, uh, my Facebook feed is a layer of hell that you're probably not even aware of.
Uh, and I don't mean like, oh, it's, it's so intense or, or it's so fucked up or anything like that.
I just mean like the stupid, the stupid shit I follow.
Like this, it's, this is why this is maybe not how everybody else, Engaged with the hock to a meme first, but like I just had this, like I had no help.
I had absolutely no way of figuring out what this was supposed to be because of the content of my feed.
I'm looking at a Simpsons meme of Homer at a bar surrounded by women who are hock to a ing into each other's mouth, I guess.
And so I was like, okay, this is that meme girl I've seen.
I guess she's a lesbian.
Uh-huh.
OK, I see I see what you're thinking, because it does look like they're all about to kiss.
It looks like they're all about to kiss or hawk to into each other's mouth.
It is only women in here.
It does look like a lesbian bar.
It's when it's the episode where Homer goes into a lesbian bar.
Oh, it is where he goes in a lesbian bar.
Okay.
Yeah.
Okay.
So I was like, well, okay, I guess there's a popular lesbian in, in memes right now.
Um, I guess this is like just a crazy spinoff meme where the guy who made it, this is Pedro, the penguin who strayed.
On Facebook, who's like a veteran.
We've seen him before.
We've talked about him before.
He's a veteran penguin, a veteran of foreign wars, and his CGI penguin avatar is standing in front of, like, a building in Washington, D.C.
Like, I don't know.
It's AI, so it's probably not even, you know, it's one of the congressional buildings or one of the, you know, with the columns and shit.
It looks like an important building.
It looks like An eight-year-old on vacation to Washington- on a field trip to Washington, D.C.
Because the penguin- so there's a penguin in it that has a forward red cap, but the cap doesn't even say like, Make America Great Again or anything that an adult's hat would say, for instance.
It's just a generic red hat that looks like something, you know, a chi- a child would wear.
They don't need the fuckin' baseball logo on it or whatever.
Anyway, okay, so but but yeah, so he just thought it was would be cool if the Hawktua girls were spitting in each other's mouth at the bar I guess like I don't Because they're not like making out in the in the episode.
They're just talking to each other.
You know, it's just it's just women socializing Anyway, uh, so that was the first one that I saw And then like like this one Uh, so they've edited her, edited her on to the meme of it ain't much, but it's a living that farmer guy.
I'm trying to remember the exact meme.
I don't think it's a very great one, but it's like, you know, a farmer standing in front of his field.
It ain't much.
It's yada.
Yada.
And people do puns on the, on the, whatever the meme phrase, you know, whatever the farmer said in the meme originally.
So this, they've put her head on him and it says it ain't much, but it's hawk to a, Uh huh.
And like so brutal.
That's not how you do it guys.
I don't even like I don't know this meme.
I didn't know even know this girl at the time.
I just knew it knew it's a bad meme.
And then underneath they've done a second meme.
Like, I feel like I'm watching one of those, what, Gen Z iPad videos where you play the game and watch the stream and listen to the podcast all at the same time.
Because underneath is a totally separate Wojak meme, left, right.
On the left is a girl who says, I choose the bear.
It's, you know, she's the trad wife.
So why would she be choosing the bear?
Is she divorcing you for the bear?
You guys were returning to tradition and now she's, she's, she just fucking got jerked back to the surface and she got the DTs and decided she wanted to be with the bear instead.
I'm pretty sure that Hoctua is like a cornerstone of trad life, of trad wife life.
Hmm.
That's, it's also, I don't know.
Hoctua is sodomy.
That's oral sex, which is against tradition.
Nobody did that back then.
When you're married, though, when you're married, you can do whatever shit you want.
No, because remember... As long as they come inside you.
Remember in that Pink Floyd song?
No.
Remember in that Blink-182 song?
Uh-huh.
Where Mark Hoppus called, or maybe it was Tom DeLonge, Called the police on the girl's mom?
Yeah.
For blowing the dad.
Yeah.
The state looks down on sodomy.
It's true.
That's what led the drummer to becoming a cop.
That's why the original drummer is a cop now.
Because he saw his girlfriend's parents blowing each other too much.
I don't normally do this.
You know how Matt Skiba took over for Tom DeLonge for a while?
Uh, yeah, yeah, totally.
I don't normally remember, like...
You know, I don't, like, normally try to cancel celebrities or whatever, but I want to cancel Matt Skiba.
And nobody... Like, everybody forgot.
Everybody who wanted to cancel Matt Skiba got too stoked that Matt Skiba was in Blink-182.
And, uh... And whatever.
Gave him a pass.
He was, like, a cop guy.
He was a weird cop guy, like, in the early days of BLM, before it was BLM.
When, like, Ferguson was happening.
Matt Skiba was?
It came out, well, maybe not at that time, but it came out at that time that he was, like, friends with Chicago homicide detectives and was, like, promoting the Chicago Police Department.
By wearing, like, Chicago PD merch.
I do remember that now.
There's a photo of him from his Instagram.
I don't think his face is in it, but it's him wearing, like, a sick-ass Chicago PD, like, gang t-shirt, essentially, you know?
It's got, like, the Grim Reaper on it.
And I just thought that was the funniest, lamest thing from the goth rocker, from Alkaline Trio, Matt Skiba.
I was like, shut the fuck up, dude.
I went to go see Alkaline Trio a few years ago in Oakland.
I was visiting my friend.
He likes them a lot.
And we left in the middle of their set.
It was so fucked.
It was so bad.
And this was probably 11, 12 years ago.
And it was so bad that we left in the middle of the set and we went and got a solely vegan and a couple beers.
It was great.
Upgrade.
I liked them.
I was never super into them.
They were, you know, they were like a transitional band while I was like, right before I got into hardcore was, you know.
Um, but I just thought that, I just thought that was funny, but I mean like Tom, Tom, the longs, no prize pig either folks.
So who, who gives a shit?
Really?
Nepo baby, Tom, the long, you mean?
Is he a nepo baby?
Who's his parents?
His parents have been like in like The defense contract industry.
That's how we got this crazy job.
That's how we got this crazy job where he like, that's how we got actual money for his alien stuff.
See, I knew he was working with like the US government and I didn't know if it was the defense department or not.
Um, but I didn't know that it was because, so when you say Nepo baby about Tom DeLong, I don't, I don't think that's, that's strong enough.
For your parents are defense contractors and you're making money off defense contract connections or whatever.
Cause I don't care.
I don't care if a, if a Nepo baby wants to be, you know, you know, I don't blink or any twos, you know, whatever.
I know people are going to laugh if I say the word punk right now.
Uh, but if you're, if your parents are rich and you want to be in a punk band, I think that's fine.
Like, you know, that's the meme is that all crust kid, how rich are his parents, you know?
Uh, that's cool.
Making music is better than selling weapons to Israel.
I've actually heard theories lately that Blink-182 made it when they made it because there was too much actually good, like, aggressive hardcore coming out of San Diego at the time.
It was too dangerous.
Over my dead body was going to change the world and the U.S.
government couldn't allow it.
So they so they so they got Blink-182 up out of there, which makes sense because they're they're terrible live.
They're not they're not a talent.
They're not talented musicians in that sense.
So it does make some sense.
This isn't completely outrageous.
Luckily, we had Green Day there to balance the reactionary forces.
Thank God.
Thank God.
Um, so the meme packs him the trad wife meme.
It says, yeah, I choose the bear.
Thank you.
And then the Chad Wojak beard guy whose wife is leaving him and he's like, yes, yes, yes, period.
He says, I choose Hawk to a Do you?
Oh, is he spitting in her face for choosing the bear?
That would make more sense.
That would make more sense.
Draw a little, draw a little spit flying at her.
And I'm like, okay, okay.
Now that's funny.
Like at least you didn't hit her in your meme.
Yeah, that is an upgrade.
I'm happy you just left her.
I like how the option was like, because the thing is, I do think that a lot of people saw this and thought, I can have her.
She's, I can have that one.
Right, yeah, she's homely.
I didn't say that.
I didn't say that.
But yeah, something like that.
No, she's, she's not.
I mean, homely in the sense of like wife material, you know, like of like, right.
Isn't that what homely means?
Like of your, of your home?
I think, I think homely means like, uh, on remarkable, which I guess you're right.
Like, like on remarkable, I don't want to say, like, slightly below average, but I think that's what it means.
What number, Tony, would you say?
I think, I think, I think homely is, like, starts at six.
I think homely is a four to six.
Yeah, six is good.
Yeah.
And by the way, my scale's out of 11, just for the record.
Oh, so even, wow.
Oof.
Tough.
For all my 11s out there.
Tough.
Late.
Well, that doesn't make the sixes feel very good, now does it, Tony?
They just got knocked down a notch, in fact.
Hey, be hotter, you know?
I choose the bear.
I choose Hawk.
Just Chadley being like, I choose the woman I saw on the internet who I'm never going to meet in real life.
Yep.
That's who I choose, said the Chad Wojak.
Easy man.
Incredible.
And again, my feed is like just beautiful.
And this was, so this is, it might be forced.
It might be a forced meme.
This is making more sense because let's go back to the one I put on screen first from Conservative Cops Facebook page.
Which has her on there with her mouth open doing the hock to a while her friend like looks into her mouth.
It's pretty good.
It's pretty good still.
I have to say and the caption curious to see what her friend thinks more than anything to be honest.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, there's probably a whole video of stuff that we're not going to listen to here, Tony, but you could watch it later.
Nice.
The caption says, when you overtake an entire Pride Month single-handedly.
So this is the I'm not gay girl.
Not that she's not gay.
I don't know.
You know, she seems to know what guys like.
All right.
Well, you can spit on any genitals.
Any genitals usually benefit from a little bit of spit on them.
Yeah.
So, who knows what she... Oh, they did ask what do men like.
Yes.
Thank you.
But, no, when I say she's the I'm not gay girl, she's the girl you pick if you're not gay, everybody.
Ah, okay.
If you're fucking not gay at all, and in fact gonna propose pretty soon publicly and post it on the internet for everybody to see to prove Your second choice is going to be the Hawk to a girl.
She's the straight, she's the straight girl and I'm the straight guy.
And that's how these things work.
Maybe that's why the memes are so shitty is because it was straight guys making these memes because I'm not gay.
That's it's just, yeah, it's, it's performing heterosexuality by saying, I choose Hawk Tua.
Yeah.
The Hawk Tua is the, is the cool thing that guys are, are fucking jerking off to.
Also, do you need to, like, say out loud, like, I'd choose a blowjob.
I'd like that.
Do you have to say that out loud?
Well, you would say that out loud.
Maybe, I mean, maybe you'd be more polite about it, but you would say that out loud if you were actually intending to receive one from somebody that you said it to.
When you make a meme about it on the internet, no, you shouldn't say that out loud because, yeah, it's just like, You just made pre-porn for of yourself, but it's not going to happen.
You're fantasizing about the lead up to porn.
It's not going to happen either.
Uh, okay.
How many, how many dudes text their girlfriends?
Like, how about a little hock to a later?
Can I get a little hock to it?
Hey, it's my birthday.
Can I get some hock to a, You could, what I would say is I would say, hak toa, hop to it.
You feel me?
And that, I bet, would result in such a crazy good blowjob from such a hot woman.
Maybe to someone who's like a sapiosexual, someone who like was really turned on by your mind, I would probably do it.
This next one's just stupid.
Women on the left saying, we choose the bear and the men on the right are looking at them.
And then below this, the women on the left, now they're angry and you're like, okay, so I guess this meme is kind of out of order a little bit.
Let me look to the right to see what's going on.
And it's the guys looking at the Hawk Tua girl instead of the women who didn't want to date them.
And so the women who don't, who think you're an asshole on the internet, Are now mad that you're doing what you've, I think, probably been doing this whole time, which is masturbating to women on TikTok.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So, but it's like a more, it's, it's like a more, uh, what it was, what is the word I'm looking for?
It's infused with more meaning.
If somebody's mad at me for jerking off to her, Now it's like for a good cause.
Now I'm stunting on the haters by- You're jerking off righteously.
There's a righteous cause behind it.
These woke bitches are going to hate this night.
They're going to be so mad.
They're going to be so mad when I nut to this.
Doing a cum tribute on the meme of the woman who's crying on her knees or whatever in the high-vis coat.
To own the list.
To own her.
So good.
And then, yeah, so this was in Tenuous and Obscure Simpsons references, which is a group I've been part of for like five, ten years on Facebook.
And it's just it's devolved.
So it's such a bad place now.
Right, like young right wing reactionary aggrieved men joined this group in mass, and I guess whoever was moderating it didn't didn't notice that it was happening because now just every time I see this group in my feed, it's porno.
Or it's something close to porno, or it's an obviously like men's rights activist meme that they're pretending has some sort of connection to the Simpsons.
Because the whole point of the group is you notice a word in a meme or on a billboard, or there's something who's wearing, somebody's wearing the same color.
It's just like a slight Simpsons reference.
And you show off how cool and knowledgeable you are at Simpsons trivia.
By, oh, there's a potato in this picture, and so I'm going to make it into a meme of Marge just saying, I think this picture is neat, you know, or whatever.
But it's just it's just like they're just posting like yoga pants stills into the video and shit like that.
I'm just so annoying because like we're on the Internet.
If I want to see porn, I'm on the Internet.
I can go, I can go find all the, I can find an actual hawk to a video.
No problem.
But that's the thing is like, it's all intertwined.
Like all of that entertainment is just, it's, it's not even porn anymore.
It's just part of their newsfeed.
Yeah.
But it's still like part of their personality and part of your personality is pornography guys.
I'm trying to tell you this.
Um, Or yeah, just like obviously like right like a borderline TP USA meme.
Shit posted this group anyway like this.
It's yeah, the Wojak meme girl on the left.
It's like the anime kind of Wojak.
She's crying tears streaming down her face.
Babe, please.
I want to hawk to a and spit on that thing.
And then the shorty doing it wrong.
You don't have to say and spit on that thing.
The whole point is talk to a covers the and spit on that thing.
She says that in the video it's she says spit on that thing.
It's like she's from Tennessee.
I think so.
She's got she puts like some twang on it when she says it.
That's part of, like, what endears her to the world, you know?
But the Chad, the Chad Wojak, he turns away from her.
And he says, why don't you go find that bear you chose over me a couple weeks ago?
So same, same thing.
Like, same thing.
It's all, they're still obsessed with the bear.
I choose the bear, Hawk.
We choose the bear.
I'm going to jerk off on TikTok.
Babe, please.
She's begging me.
She's, Fellas, she's begging for it.
She's begging.
She needs it.
To spit on that thing.
And I said, nope.
Nope.
Yeah.
Why don't you go spit on that?
See how that bear likes it.
See if you go spit on that bear.
See how, see how they like it.
Yeah.
It's just like, no, it's, it's, uh, it's not, the girl doesn't beg to do haktua on you.
She does haktua because she knows you like it.
And she wants you to like, I stopped fucking my girlfriend because she shared a bear meme.
It's been rough, but you know, she's going to learn.
She's going to learn.
She's been hanging out with her other friends a lot lately.
I don't know why, but she's not getting nothing from me.
I think it's so funny to be mad at women for... The meme is about how men are dangerous.
Exactly.
And every, like, guy meme you ever see is about how men are dangerous, parenthesis, positive.
Parenthesis, complimentary.
Uh-huh.
They made a... You gotta cut this part out, dude.
Yeah, because it sounded like you were going to throw up.
Well, I... I know, I know, but just audibly?
I started clearing my throat, and it really didn't work, and I got so mad that I have to clear my throat this whole fucking time that I started, like, yelling through my throat, like, real quick.
It sounded like you didn't hock tool on it enough.
Yeah.
Okay, well, now you got to keep it in.
Don't keep the throat-clearing part in, but keep your clever remark in, alright?
Noted.
Hell yeah.
I love it when it's not me doing this.
It's my favorite.
Hey everybody, I was sick a few days ago.
Had nothing to do with my throat at all.
But I just want you to keep that in mind.
Alright, last meme here.
It's still Hawktua, baby.
Sorry for spending so much time on this, but it's just, it's very funny to me.
And this one is the best one, Tony.
Alright, let's go.
This is inconsiderate.
What the fuck?
What?
Shocking.
- What?
What?
What? - Shocking, shocking. - So this is posted in the conservative goths Facebook group, and it's a meme of a mohel, a mohel? and it's a meme of a mohel, a mohel?
Have you not, have you not seen, um, uh, uh, what's, what's the, um, Seinfeld episode?
Robin Hood Men in Tights.
Have you not seen Robin Hood Men in Tights?
So no, I knew it was pronounced moil, but I didn't, it's spelled differently than that.
Okay.
It's spelled M-O-H-E-L.
So I didn't know, maybe, I thought maybe I had been mispronouncing it this whole time.
It's a Moyle doing a bris on a baby and sucking the foreskin off, or sucking the blood out, or whatever they do.
Whatever.
Specific rabbis, specific mohels.
This is not a widespread Jewish custom.
This is very specific, crazy fundamentalist Jewish, Jewish, you know, sect or whatever, who, uh, To perform a bris with their mouth.
This is not, like, this is not anti-Semitic conspiracy theory stuff.
This is, like, they actually physically spread venereal disease to children.
And it was in the news and everything.
And it says haktua over his face as he sucks the foreskin off.
Insane.
Insane.
Like, to be like, you know, what other type of mouth around penises?
What could I make this reference to?
Um, and he did.
Crying, laughing, twisted, crying, laughing, crying, laughing, twisted, crying, laughing, crying, laughing, twisted, crying, laughing, crying, laughing, and then just wide smile, like toothy grin.
Uh, I think I popped my back rib out laughing.
Says Craig who posted this in a conservative goths and it had one angry react.
They really had one reaction to this.
I should, I should go back and read because I got this, like I saw this Right before we started this episode and Tony, this is the one Tony caught me crying, laughing at this as I put it in the, as I put it in the episode.
I'm sorry.
It's pretty funny, right?
Like, yeah, it's insanely funny.
Cause it's, cause it's insane.
Um, this is the, I think without a doubt, the best talk to a meme I've seen gotta be.
And certainly the only one in this episode that was at all good.
Um, but it's got one angry react and, and then Steven Kent Jolie commented on it with also an angry emoji in the comment, which is the same emoji as the angry react.
And I think he was responsible for that angry react as well, but he wanted to make sure everybody saw that his name was attached to this react.
I respect the double down.
Um, so funny.
So good.
Do you think that Stephen, is Stephen mad at the meme or does Stephen just get upset when he sees Jews?
Well, I think, you know, this is like, I would say an upsetting thing for a Moyle to do to a child.
I get it.
It should not happen.
If I have the choice for it to happen or not happen, I think it should not happen.
Right.
I agree.
I agree.
Am I going to, like, get publicly angry?
Be like, I, Alex, Alexander Edward does not support the Moyles.
You know, I'll say it.
Sure.
I'll say it on the episode.
I don't support Moyles who do this.
That's my angry react.
I guess we all have our way of angry reacting to news we don't appreciate.
Yeah, because I was going to say, like, if it was up to me, I wouldn't want anyone to know that I've even seen this meme.
We have a pretty special circumstance here.
Fuck, dude.
I saved this to my computer.
It's on my computer now.
Oh, no.
Erase it.
Burn the hard drive.
You got to get rid of it.
Send me your files first, though.
Send me your files before you erase it.
Oh, no.
You can't see anything.
I want to say, folks, you can't see anything.
It's not graphic.
What I will say, Stephen, is if you are going to angry react to it, do it, do it for more than just an emoji.
You know, actually record it with your good friend and, you know, really, really scrutinize it.
You should be clapping back to this.
Don't be vague.
You should have this photo behind you on like the green screen, whatever TikTok, whatever, however people do that, where they point, they point back at the photo and you just like let them know.
I would watch you get mad at this picture for sure.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That'd be very funny.
It still has the Hoctua text, giant white Hoctua text over the rabbi's head.
Amazing.
But you're like, ignore the funny part of this meme.
It's just the, it's where I found the picture.
That's why I found out that this is real.
Um, is kind of weird to have the photo to make the meme in the first place.
Yes.
I hope you just were like, Oh, I remember that story about that freaky fucking rabbi who gave gonorrhea to a bunch of people.
Uh, a bunch of kids, fuck babies.
Uh, I'm going to look it up.
Yeah.
I could see this photo also floating around, like, white nationalist, anti-Semitic Twitter.
They probably love this photo.
That's probably where he found it.
That makes sense.
That's probably where he found it and then threw the Hawk 2 over it.
He had it ready to go.
I think it's, yeah.
So, like, I was also just thinking about the idea of laughing at this, right?
Because this is, like, I wouldn't call it necessary.
I'm not I don't study any of this stuff.
I don't talk to survivors or, you know, read about their stories or anything.
No, we only study the comments.
We only study the comments, and nothing bad has ever happened to me or Tony.
So we can't speak to your truths out there.
I don't know if this is assault.
I don't know what this counts as.
I'm assuming the parents gave consent to the kids.
Parents let a lot of fucked up stuff happen to their kids, especially regards to religion.
Like I just said, nothing ever, nothing bad ever happened to me, but I did grow up having to hear like Christian covers of monkeys songs in church.
Right.
So, you know, I'm familiar with the things parents subject their children to.
If you're, like, laughing about this, if you're making a joke about this, yeah.
Like, does this mean you don't take grooming serious?
Does this mean you don't... Like, are... I need to go back to this meme.
I need to go back to this post.
Yeah.
To find out how mad the rest of this Facebook group of conservative goths... How conservative are these goths?
Are they not willing to... This is a woke joke, Tony, I think.
Yeah.
I think this is a woke joke.
It might be conflicting, though, because although it is pointing out some sort of grooming, you know, if you take the baby factor out of it, it's pretty goth.
How so?
Pretty goth.
Like, biting the tip of someone's penis off?
Pretty goth.
Okay.
Well, I don't mean to, like, not support your theory, because I do agree with your theory, and it should be goth.
It's goth, it's metal, totally.
One thing about being conservative goth that I've learned is that it just means you're Christian.
Yep.
So you're probably on the fence about Jews already to some degree.
You probably got some funny beliefs about Jews or some ideas, right?
There's a good chance if you're in the Conservative Gods Facebook group, you have extremely interesting views about Jewish people.
So, yeah, I don't know.
I don't know if they can let this one slide, Tony.
Yeah, this one might not be funny to them at all.
Yeah.
Just for the record, it's funny to us kind of that someone made it.
That's really the really funny part.
Seeing a rabbi say haktu as he goes to perform an oral bris is just funny to me.
I'm sorry.
Yeah, you're not wrong.
Because if it's fucked up, it's like you're doing a blowjob on a kid.
That's fucked up.
You put the haktua in there.
Well, now it's funny too.
It's still very fucked up, but it's got a cartoon sound effect to go along with it.
I can, I can, I feel like I can process both of those things at the same time.
And I totally get it if you can't.
Totally understand.
Feel free to angry react to this episode and I'll get exactly what you mean by it.
Yeah, well, that's the episode, folks.
Thanks for listening.
We're going to have to talk about Father's Day and Juneteenth and the Seattle Police Chief saying, I'm gay, so I can't be mean to any of my subordinate women because I'm gay, actually.
Yeah, actually.
And then maybe we'll talk about the climate protesters trying to fuck up Taylor Swift's jet and also painting Stonehenge.
Awesome.
Interesting responses to that.
Yeah.
And Louisiana putting, mandating, in fact, Ten Commandments in every public school.
Finally.
Now if they could just mandate cursive, we'd be alright as a country.
We'd be all good to go.
Are they gonna write the Ten Commandments in cursive like they originally were written?
Two birds with one stone.
I love it.
I love it.

I said this shit about to end.
Talkin' destinations, ain't no place to go.
Me and all my niggas, man, stuck out on the road.
Searchin' for that soul.
Fallin' into pieces, watchin' life shatter, stole.
Niggas talk about some smoke, but they ain't tryin' to get rolled.
My girl tellin' me, remember what you do it for?
I said, they leavin' that nigga since I was life-old.
Never off game, fresh legs, damn ballers charge pain, nigga.
What the fuck you think this is?
Never had shit, so what a nigga's supposed to get?
Never heard the spirit, lest I put it in my spliff Mama disappointed, I've been smoking since the JIT Faded with my niggas, it's a cycle, my man Feeling like Frank, how I'm biking and shit No hands, I'm pedaling this uphill battle Trying to hand out L's like pre-rolls.
They ain't never expect a nigga to win.
I'm taking dubs like the smoke hit my face in the wind.
I've been a pretty nigga.
Granny squeezed my cheeks and called me handsome as a kid.
Treasured memories, scarred wounds that I ain't never spoke.
I turned 24 and we supposed to be grown now.
I ain't learned to grow till I nurture the soil.
Apply the tools to cope now.
Still ridin' dirty, baby, playin' PS2 when I whip round.
That's a shoulder clean when I hit ground.
Mama told me, pick that chin up, let me see that smile.
A hundred pounds, baby, holdin' it down.
Yeah.
Holdin' it down.
