#652 Many going cash only due to multiple robberies
TODAY: S.F. State University and Portland, Maine successfully divest from Israel's weapons suppliers in a victory for Pro-Palestine protesters and definitely not a loss for zionists who don't care at all PLUS: A comedian gets confused in a drug store and becomes a right wing sensation as they project their racist beliefs onto one of the closing Rite Aids. We reminisce about the old days of browsing Rite Aid for hours on end--a tradition lost to uh wokeness or something. And we discuss the right's instinct to side with business despite that business's complicity in the opioid epidemic. Music: Bob Mould - Give Me One Good Reason I dont give af if you're transgender clean yo damn room- CENSORED dialogue Tony wanted this song: I Don’t give af if you’re transgender clean yo damn room- CENSORED dialogue And I’ll take Bob Mould - One Good Reason
The liberals are destroying California, and conservative humor gone awry... Conservative humor gone awry is going to fascistphonia today, so stay tuned.
We're going to take a few pictures of the desert and how their policies are actually messing it up.
It's not beautiful when you go across that border.
Stay tuned guys, we'll show you exactly what it looks like when we destroy the desert.
All their environmental stuff.
Stay tuned.
I'm Alexander Edward.
And I'm Tony Boswell.
And we are Minion Death Cult.
The world is ending.
Rite-Aid is responsible.
And we're documenting it.
Rite-Aid, really, Tony?
I feel bad calling them responsible.
Rite-Aid's just a symptom of the problem, you know?
So real.
Yeah, Rite-Aid is just like the canary in the coal mine, you know?
Yeah, absolutely.
Before we get into more things that are canaries in the coal mines, I wanted to remind everybody we are going to be live.
We're going to be live in Seattle at the Beacon Cinema on October 18th with one Mr. Brian Quimby doing commentary over an insane movie that we have covered on the show before but cannot say the name of for legal purposes, but

You will not regret taking this opportunity to view this movie in the only other place other than the... What is it called?
The proprietary website?
Yes.
For the movie.
Anyway, on to the show.
Tickets in this episode's description.
On to the show.
Tony, I thought we'd start off with some just devastating news, because I'm reading here that San Francisco State University divests from arms makers and deal with, wait for it, pro-Palestinian students.
Do you believe this, Tony?
I actually can't.
I actually can't believe this.
I thought maybe there was a typo there.
I'm like, there's no way that a university or a corporation is not doing Zionism, and here we are.
I love how they have to say pro-Palestinian students here.
I mean, I feel this is like what SEO to get to get it up in the up in the search rankings and all that.
Plus it like just, you know, people people start feeling all sorts of ways when they see the word Palestinian, whether it's just natural human empathy or murderous rage.
Who's to say?
But it definitely evokes strong feelings in people.
But I love just again, the information contained in this headline is like, well, it looks like they're trying to be divisive by by like.
Saying pro-Palestinian students instead of like anti-war students or whatever.
Exactly.
But it's also like embarrassing for every other activist group that's ever existed on a college campus.
Like even if you're a right-wing college group, you're looking at it and you're like, well, they did what?
What the?
How'd they fucking do that?
For real.
What the hell?
For real.
Yeah, absolutely.
This is so cool.
This is fantastic.
It's awesome.
And like you said, it is divisive.
They are trying to say, like, they're doing it to appease the bad guys.
I'm happy.
I'm just happy they didn't say pro Hamas students.
It's true.
Yeah, but they're definitely like like showing who you should be mad at when you get mad at this.
Let me the sub headline says this from NBC News.
The move shifted SFSU's $163 million investment portfolio after pro-Palestinian student protesters made headways in meeting with university leaders to discuss demands.
This is by the entire Bay Area staff on NBC News.
Students for Gaza SFU announced Thursday that San Francisco State University has pulled investments from three companies The university claims do not meet its human rights standards following demonstrations from pro-Palestinian activists and groups.
So I've never attended San Francisco State University, but I'm assuming they have some sort of standards or some sort of human rights like criteria that their investments must meet in order to, you know, to invest the school's funds or whatever.
Um, so really all these protests, like all these specific asks from like the BDS movement are just asking these state universities to live up to their stated goals, you know, their, their supposed commitments to human rights.
Exactly and it's it's not uncommon for us to see things like people try to turn that on the ear and be like no we are doing Humanitarian stuff by trying to free the hostages By allowing by allowing Israel to defend itself and it's it's clear.
That's pretty much bullshit You know so it's really nice to see this this happen because it is that clear It's like no you have precedent for it in the sense that you're saying you won't invest in these things But you're doing it currently so it's it's it's good Yeah, it's not like Israel is being singled out by these universities or the students or whatever.
It's just anybody who's violating as many human rights as Israel has should be removed.
It's easy math.
In an agreement reached with students, the university will sell its corporate bond position in aerospace and defense company Lockheed Martin stock positions in Italian defense company Leonardo and U.S.-based data analysis enterprise Palantir Technologies.
Good.
Awesome.
Good.
And it's like, again, I can't help but play.
It's not quite devil's advocate in my mind, but it's somewhere between devil's advocate and a straw man that just instantly erupts into my mind when I see this.
And it's just like, how could you as any like populist mass, whatever pro-democracy movement, not look at this as a good thing?
Exactly.
Exactly.
This is Lockheed Martin we're talking about.
These are weapons manufacturers who profit from the destruction of human life and the destruction of the Earth.
It's like even the right wing has to pretend to be anti-war right now, right?
Yeah.
That's like what, you know, of course the leadership says one thing, but the base all interprets it a certain way as in, oh, Trump is the least, you know, he, he, uh, he's going to bring our troops home and he's, you know, going to keep our troops safe by, uh, fucking assassinating other world leaders.
Yeah, exactly.
Um, but they have, you know, it's, I, I just don't under like, I don't understand somebody who actually reads this, like maybe You're just a casual, you're just like a, you know, you're 65 years old and you just see the headline and it's like, you know, Hamas student group forces San Francisco state university to remove money from any Jewish companies or like, that's like, that's like the only way this could possibly, I don't know, irk.
Like I get to get a reasonable person mad because it's like, they're, they're not even talking about Israeli companies.
No.
These are U.S., except for the Italian company, these are U.S.-based companies.
Yeah.
And like you said, what's great about it is that, you know, it's Lockheed Martin.
It's direct.
It's not like we're not, you know, connecting dots.
There's no red string here.
It's like, no, these are actual weapons manufacturers who are actually profiting like directly.
It's not like, you know, it's not even going as far as like boycotting McDonald's.
It's, it's even more direct.
Like you really can't, you really, there's really not much to debate here.
And that's, that's, I think that's great.
I don't know about boycotting McDonald's because I think, you know, there's really no ethical consumption under capitalism.
And everybody should be able to order the 20 piece chicken McNuggets, I think.
And I mean, you've been going to McDonald's for so long.
You've been so OK with death this whole time.
I don't know why it would change now.
Exactly.
Like if I if I give in now, it's like admitting that I was a traitor and that I was wrong the whole the whole time.
And that doesn't that doesn't sound right.
I do want to clarify that that is a joke.
I'm not trying to equate veganism with actual human rights actions.
Oh, but I am trying to equate eating chicken nuggets to having human rights.
That is a human right that I believe we have.
It's just unfortunate that it only exists under capitalism right now.
Otherwise, you could enjoy it guilt-free.
I mean, without capitalism, we wouldn't have so many sauces to choose from.
Um, one one second.
I did just get a notification that it might have shifted.
It might be close.
Let me just look outside real fast.
OK, yeah, Tony's apartment might be on fire right now, so.
Yeah, the map I just got sent said like across the streets on fire and it's not these freaking techies.
I was like, you think I'd notice like I have my window open because it's so fucking hot.
You think I would notice across the streets on fire?
But no, we're good.
We're we're solid.
No, that's like finally we get like a Southern California citizen, a Southern Southern California liver meme.
You know, like New York.
When they're in movies, it's always like, there's a fucking bank heist going on around it, but they don't even give a shit, because it's New York, and they're focusing on other things, or Godzilla's attacking, or whatever, and they don't even care, because they're so cool.
New York, or whatever.
Yeah, California, the SoCal equivalent, is your house across the street is on fire, and you don't notice the temperature difference.
Yeah, you don't.
It does not make a difference at all.
We are the dog on fire, the dog in the house on fire.
We are that meme all the time, especially from, you know, August to October.
I did want to say let the viewer know how brave Tony is for podcasting literally in the line of fire.
Actual two streets down is on fire.
So we're OK.
We're OK for now.
Now, how close how close are the fires to you, Tony?
Oh, well, I can there's like burn like probably like a half mile away.
I can see.
But it seems to have been going over the back of the mountain now.
So I think it's going away from me.
But, you know, you know how that works.
The good old good old fashioned wind change and that can stop at any moment.
Right.
And we did just get a little bit of rain.
So hopefully that's going to chill this out right here.
We'll see.
It was a it was a tiny bit of rain.
It is 103 degree rain from what you were saying, right?
Yes, exactly.
It's cool.
I don't think that's good rain.
I think that's only a bad sign.
I don't think you could ever take that as a good sign.
Yeah, Penny was like, why is it raining?
I was like, well, actually smoke can cause rain because it's only 103 right now because there's so much smoke it's blocking the sun.
Before I entered the smoke, it was like 108, 110.
So, you know, hey, silver lining, baby.
Actually, you were close, Tony.
It's not smoke that causes the rain.
It's the chemtrails.
It's the chemtrails.
Easy mistake to make.
It's kind of the same process.
I'm pretty sure that, you know, brush fires and forest fires are actually just a cover-up for chemtrails.
I'm pretty sure they just put the chems in the brush and then they set it on fire.
Which is genius.
One of my favorite conspiracy theories that we've covered on the show, and we haven't covered it in a while because it's extremely depressing.
Um, but when there are wildfires in California, devastating wildfires in California, the West Coast or other hot areas, uh, the conspiracy theory is that some, the government set the fires on purpose to pretend that it's getting hotter.
Yep.
Yep.
Which is, that's like the simplest reason I can think of, you know, they always use like a laser to start the fire.
It's like that's how it just it was kind of just like how they did in Hawaii.
Remember, Hawaii was started by lasers.
Yes, it's yeah.
People just love to find more reasons.
There's plenty of reasons to be pissed.
You don't got to make shit up.
No, I want to be like so confused while I'm pissed that there's absolutely no Like practical action I could take.
Like there's no, like there's no, nothing I can do positively about the situation because of this convoluted thing I've created in my mind that I am absolved of it.
And also not only absolved of it, but absolved of whatever crazy negative actions I take because of it.
Yeah, totally.
No, listen, I've, I like, I've, I've killed a man over throwing a cigarette out of the window, but how am I supposed to stop a fucking laser?
Yeah.
Um, but yeah, back to, uh, San Francisco State divesting from these weapons manufacturers.
I mean, yeah, just a huge victory.
Congratulations to the, uh, to these student groups for achieving that.
And then it wasn't just San Francisco State University that divested.
Um, An entire city, the entire city of Portland, Maine, the city council voted to divest from companies doing business with Israel.
And so this is I'm reading here from the Times of Israel.
Resolution listing dozens of companies passes unanimously following raucous public debate.
Mayor says vote is meant to, quote, send a signal to Israel to end war.
This is by Andrew Lappin.
Yeah, this is like, uh, I mean, he'll get into it in the article.
This is your friends.
This is the friendly response to what you guys are doing.
Okay.
Yeah.
This is like the, um, The uncle giving you a pat on the back and bailing you out of jail and saying, we'll take her easier next time, right?
Like that's that's what they're trying to do here.
The City Council of Portland, Maine, voted unanimously on Wednesday evening to divest from companies that do business with Israel, becoming the fourth U.S.
city to pass such a measure since the outbreak of the Israel-Hamas war on October 7th.
The resolution passed after a raucous public comment session in which supporters outnumbered opponents, which is so unfair.
Really, when you think about it, you know?
It should be a fair fight.
It really should be who's louder but with even numbers.
Democracy really is just the mob getting to decide who to eat, you know?
The resolution passed after raucous public comment section in which supporters outnumbered opponents calls to, quote, divest the city of Portland from all entities complicit in the current and ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza and occupation of Palestine.
Occupation of Palestine is pretty cool.
Yeah.
I mean, obviously, you know, protesting the war is good and we shouldn't like, you know, whatever, look a gift horse in the mouth with respect to that.
But actually announcing the occupation of Palestine, I wonder if they mean like the occupation of Gaza.
Uh, as opposed to like the occupation of the West Bank, uh, and just the entire country, former formerly known as Palestine, you know?
Yeah.
This, this, this verbiage is important though, because it does acknowledge like, um, not just the ongoing genocide, but the occupation itself.
Which is the problem from the beginning.
So that's that's really good.
Honestly, a huge W for Portland, Maine over Portland, Oregon.
I think that they outweirded them.
And I think that I think that you take this W and it's a big dunk on Portland, Oregon, in my mind.
It's crazy.
It's only four.
There's a fourth city.
Yeah.
I don't know if you know this, but there's a lot of cities in America.
A lot of them are currently investing in this stuff still.
So four is four is great.
Let's let's get those numbers up.
Well, see, I think we can I think we can look at this, you know, optimistically, like, yeah, sure.
Only four four cities have publicly announced divesting from Israel.
But think about all the other terrorist run cities that are too canny, that are too smart to to announce to the world that they're divesting from our beloved brother and brothers and sisters in Israel.
You know, so just keep keep that in mind.
There's probably a lot more a lot more seditious city councils out there that we just don't know about.
I'm sorry.
Yeah, there's an evil underlying belly of radicals who are actually running your city councils.
Right.
And we appreciate them.
Yeah.
Shout out to them.
I think they really just ain't humble.
I like that.
The Portland legislation included a list of dozens of companies from which the city will divest after the law is enacted.
Mayor Mark Dion indicated that he will sign it, quote, I try to align what I believe and try to figure out what is right and just.
And I'm going to vote to support this.
Dion, a former sheriff who is also a voting member of the council, said following public comment.
Wow.
Yeah.
If you've lost the sheriffs, I'm sorry, you're like, you're too psycho for the sheriffs?
Are you kidding me?
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's, uh, that's, that's pretty impressive.
That's a high bar.
Like these are, these are people who kill dogs regularly and, and you, you've out, you've out freaked them.
So good job.
He added that while he understood Israel's, quote, desire for retribution, he believes that, quote, our role collectively is to grab their shoulder and say, it's enough, it's simply enough, and pull them away.
And that's sometimes the greatest act of friendship you can do for someone you hold dear, as I hold my friends in the Jewish community.
Um, so conflating Jews with Israel, uh, but again, from like a seemingly Zionist standpoint, uh, another little interesting thing you could read in this.
Um, but I do love like, yeah, in, in, even in like, this is like the fiercest condemnation of Israel that You know, most if not all public officials in this country and the U.S.
will give.
And it still takes the tone of like, you know, Marty McFly pulling his dad off of Biff like so he doesn't kill him.
Yeah.
You know, that's that's like the cinematic moment this is trying to evoke.
Like, you've done your job.
Now let's go home.
You stop.
You're only hurt.
You're only you're crying in front of everybody.
And it's embarrassing.
Let's just go.
Totally.
And it does say, because people don't, you know, people don't really give like cops and sheriffs enough credit when it comes to this kind of thing.
Cause it's kind of like an unspoken thing that after like your fourth on-on person you shoot, they do tell you to chill.
So it does, you got to kill at least four people, but they do like grab you by the shoulder and they do kind of say that's enough, but it does.
So even they have limits.
Right.
It's usually like after the first or second joint you break on the perp, somebody steps in and they're like, all right, all right.
He's, he's had enough.
Yeah.
At that point they're like, okay, you either do got to kill him where you got to stop.
Cause right now we just got a witness.
Let me read.
Is there more from?
I just love you.
I understand.
As a sheriff, I understand Israel's desire for retribution.
I understand the idea of wanting to destroy an entire community of people out of, you know, a personal what's perceived as a personal slight.
The Jewish Community Alliance of Southern Maine, the local Jewish Federation, said it was quote, outraged and unbelievably disappointed at the resolution's passage.
Quote, At this time, we are focused on concrete ways to ensure the Jewish community who lives in and around Portland, Maine, feels supported and safe, Chief Development Officer Ashley Inbar told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency.
Quote, we're investigating every possible avenue in front of us to make those goals manifest.
Yeah, we shouldn't.
We shouldn't commit to like stopping Israel from doing genocide because we're too concerned with, you know, students at the main college having to see a Palestinian flag on campus.
Yeah, exactly.
You got to you got to you got to protect him.
We got to pick our fights here, you know.
There's more from here.
Yeah, the measure was backed by the main chapter of the anti-Zionist group Jewish Voice for Peace and the main coalition for Palestine.
Quote, we are outraged and grief stricken by the continued atrocities perpetrated by Israel and fully support our city, heeding the call to divest.
Yeah, absolutely.
This is sick.
I do have some responses to this that were pretty funny.
Again, very good news, but in this cultural and political climate and just in this country, you know what you're in for right now.
Paul Carriker says, Hamas wins again.
Yeah, that's what this means, buddy.
That's what this means.
Like, they're almost going to try to make it seem like, you know, well, the money's got to go somewhere.
So it's probably going to Hamas now.
Right.
Yeah.
Good job.
Good job, everybody.
You just sent one hundred and sixty three million dollars to Hamas backed corporations.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
Thanks for that.
I love this response because it's like.
What do you mean Hamas wins again?
Yeah.
How is Hamas winning in your mind?
Because the rest of the world is looking at an obliterated Gaza, an obliterated ghetto of what were four million people, tens of thousands of dead children, which I think people like Paul and other Zionists would say, well, that's a win for Hamas.
That we killed so many civilians without actually furthering our stated goal is a win for Hamas because it makes us look bad.
Yeah, absolutely.
Absolutely.
It's I don't know.
That's they're going to twist it.
It doesn't matter what's happening.
And do they consider like October 7th like a Hamas victory?
Yeah, I mean, that would be the the the one other I think like solid.
I think that you could call that a Hamas victory.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure.
Yeah, that would be the one other thing.
So maybe he means means Hamas wins again for the first time.
Wins a second time.
But again, it's also evocative of me.
It's also indicative to me of like the fascist ideology about how the enemy is simultaneously weaker and stronger than you.
And it's just like, wow, we've done everything I can and they're still winning the battle over woke college students.
Yeah, exactly.
Every pro-Palestinian post you see is basically the same as a casualty for Israel.
It sucks.
We've killed so many people.
And the media can't even report on how many people we've owned because we killed the people who were responsible for taking care of the sick and dying people and counting the dead and all that.
And still Hamas is winning.
I guess we're going to have to double these numbers.
I guess we're going to have to double these numbers.
That's the only way forward.
That's the only response that you see.
That's where Zionists are now, and they have been for a minute, where they had to fully accept the only victory is hellfire.
Only victory is complete wipeout.
There is no in-between there, and they're being so clear about it.
And so, yeah, it's like every day that not everyone's dead is a Hamas victory.
Yeah.
yeah the uh If you're wondering, like, I want there to be money going to Israel.
I want there to be like, you're mad about, you know, the protest, the divestment and all that.
And you're like, I want Israel to be getting as much money as possible.
And then somebody would be like, well, why?
And I would be like, well, so I can see these comments at the top of every article about Palestine.
Where Brad says, and those investments will just be covered and replaced.
Have at it, though.
What?
That's the top comment.
And right underneath, John James says, and those investments will just be covered and replaced.
Have at it, though.
I mean, having the same idea, I'm not surprised by, but there's like a copypasta response here.
It's just the same comment twice from two different people, which is usually indicative of a sort of bot situation.
Exactly.
Yeah.
So funny.
And also like that's the whole point is sure.
I'm sure you're right.
I don't think they're going to, I think they're going to find a way to get money.
I don't think they're, I think they're going to, they're going to be okay, but that doesn't make a difference.
Like you, you, you still have to, You still have to separate yourself from it.
Like, why do they not understand that part?
Like, just because it's going to happen doesn't mean you need to be part of it.
And I think that's a huge, big problem with, like, the American ethos is this big thing where it's like, no, like, listen, if we live here and we want this freedom, we have to support it all.
We can't be critical of any of it.
They're going to do it anyway, so you may as well just, you know, go for it.
Yeah, it's like, I understand Criticisms of boycotts in the sense of like, oh, individual consumers are not going to make a difference by voting with their dollars.
If tens of thousands of them somehow coordinate and organize to do the same boycott, then absolutely that will make a difference.
That's the difference.
And not only that, but we're talking about a school.
We're talking about an institution.
We're talking about a massive organization with a lot of money.
$163 million is a lot of money.
And yeah, that will absolutely will make a difference to some degree.
And especially, you know, this is one school, you know, more schools do it or make more of a response, make more of an impact.
And it reminds me of that, like, argument I got into with a Joe Rogan podcast Facebook member around these original protests, these student protests for Palestine.
You know, they're all dunking on these kids, blah, blah, blah, terrorist this, terrorist that.
And I'm just like, okay, you can call them whatever names you want, you want.
They're literally protesting the military industrial complex.
Yes.
I know you're like a Joe Rogan listener.
So you've heard that phrase with a negative connotation attached to it.
You've heard the fucking Dwight D Eisenhower speech.
You've heard the conspiracy theories about John F. Kennedy being assassinated by the military-industrial complex.
Exactly.
Um, these kids are doing something about it.
And it's so funny again, to go back to the previous headline about like seeing pro-Palestinian students did this.
It's like, everybody should be embarrassed by that.
If you're not part of, if you weren't part of these, you should be like, damn, you know?
Um, but it's this, this is like, well, when I, when I got into an argument with that guy, I wasn't even, I said it in general.
I said, these students are protesting the military industrial complex, whether you like them or not.
And somebody responded, well then they should go protest at the military-industrial complex then.
That's that's that's exactly the thing is like they have an idea, but they don't know what it actually is, because once you define what's actually happening, once you say like the, you know, the occupation and, you know, terror being being, you know, handed out in Palestine is the industrial military complex, they can't comprehend that.
Yeah.
Like like you said, I think a lot of these assholes really, truly believe like, oh, no, it's a building where decisions are made.
Yeah, it's a building that's run by Bill Gates.
Bill Gates is the president of the Military Industrial Complex.
And yeah, his other response was...
Um, if you really want to make a difference, you should protest Apple because China makes their iPhones.
And China sells weapons to Israel, which I don't think is true, but it's just like, who do you think manufactures more weapons for Israel?
The US or China?
Like, come on.
Yeah, come on.
Bro, I know you listen to Joe Rogan, but you're not that stupid.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Relax.
Joe Lori Pruitt said they bowed to the inmates.
And there's more here, but I just wanted to stop right there.
I love that.
You know, this is like the typical right wing sort of, you know, semi-fascistic rhetoric about, you know, typically minority communities are just urban centers.
Those being the inmates that run the asylum that is a democratic city or whatever.
Right.
We're literally, we're talking about a school that these students have to pay for.
Like they're not inmates, bro.
They're customers.
Well, that's the best thing too.
It's like, if you're going to go in and say inmates, like now you, you are like, you don't understand democracy, like at all.
You don't even understand a basic business transaction.
Yeah.
Exactly.
These are the inmates.
I mean, I know a lot of retail workers that would describe customers and consumers as inmates, as freaks.
Typically not from the right.
That sort of rhetoric typically does not come from the right.
The customer is king.
Each of these students is like a miniature little property owner.
They have rights, you know?
They entered into a contract with an entity and they have rights.
Sovereign rights.
And not only that, but every one of these students has a very direct value tied to them.
And like you said, this is a business transaction.
They all have a very specific value tied to them.
And if they're threatening to take that away, then that then that is how that works.
I mean, yeah, if if if.
The only way that would work in like, you know, the prison scenario they're talking about is if like they all decided we're not going to be in prison anymore if you don't start acting right.
But that's not how that fucking works, you idiot.
Joe continues, but I guess Hamas parentheses Palestinians.
Thanks.
I love that.
I love that because most people try to say Hamas and don't, you know, to try and avoid being, maybe not most people, but like a lot, a lot of Zionists will try to pretend they're only talking about Hamas, but this guy just put parentheses Palestinians.
It's like, this is like, I annotated this comment.
But I guess Hamas parentheses Palestinians does meet their human rights standards so much for higher learning.
And again, don't need to spend too much time on this, but it's it's just funny that.
Yeah, they think the money is going to go to Hamas because it's not going because it's not going to Israel anymore.
It's like and it's not just.
I don't even know if they think the money is going to go to Hamas, but it's like something worse is going to Hamas and that's respect.
Yeah.
Something worse is going to Palestinians than money.
And that's the human human rights considerations.
Yeah.
Something worse is going to the Palestinians, which is like a hair bit more safety because there's going to be maybe a tiny bit less weapons.
Yeah.
Like that.
Shut up, dude.
Like you said, I can't believe that they really that's really how they're thinking.
Like, well, it must go there.
Like like energy investments are finite and they can only go one or two places.
Yeah, absolutely.
An investment can neither be created nor destroyed.
It can only be changed.
Yeah, it can only be exactly.
It can only be shifted around to different war criminals.
Myron Bassman says, boy, that will help the Gazans.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Now try and learn how to think.
Uh, and I just, I just, this is the last comment and I just wanted to hear because yes, unironically, this will help the people of Gaza and, and cry about it.
Cry about it more, Myron.
Like you can tell when things are actually good for Palestine or for Palestinians is because they react like this.
They blow up and cry and say how little of effect you're actually having.
Yeah.
And these people just they have zero.
It's sad because they really have like zero hope, you know, because if you see that and you're thinking, well, this did nothing.
It's like, oh, damn, like what what what would do something, you know, like what do you think?
You really you're really that bleak.
You really that much of a nihilist?
Where you're like, well, this is futile.
This will do nothing at all.
It's like, no, there's an actual, like, there is a number.
There's a real number that this is making a difference with.
It's quantifiable.
Yeah, not only that, like, it's that meme.
It's that person who does not share your goal warns you that this won't help you reach your goal.
Like, it's, they're, they're hit dogs hollering.
Like, they're, this, it's, you know, the, what do you, what do you call it?
Like, the immune response is happening inside the Zionist.
They've seen a threat.
And this is how they react.
We'll be right back.
We'll be right back.
Okay, moving on.
We need to talk about this viral story where a dumb man became a right-wing sensation the other day for being confused inside of a drugstore.
I can't believe...
that this picked up steam the way it did.
It's amazing.
It's like that video I saw of somebody sharing a racist woman having maybe a schizophrenic break with reality and also, you know, shouting the n-word and insane like other anti-black comments on the subway and the guy shared it with the caption Wow.
So something, something real spoke through her.
I think this was like, this was like divine.
This was like a divine voice speaking through and it had like, you know, on Elon Musk's Twitter had like 80,000 likes or whatever.
And it's just like, yeah, it's a mentally ill person screaming slurs and the right wing is like, Oh, is this God?
Is this the voice of God?
They're like, wow, she's really spitting.
Uh, they just see somebody that's like alienating every person around them.
And they're like, wow, they're just like me for real.
I do this in my head all the time and she's just letting it rip.
So this guy, this guy is Bert Kreischer.
Do you know who this guy is, Tony?
Unfortunately, yes.
Yeah, I know who he is, but not by name.
I had to like look him up and then I remembered who he was.
So he's like a he's like a stand up comedy guy, right?
I think he's the stand-up comedy guy.
He's one of the funniest people out right now, if you ask me.
The dude's just epic.
I don't know if you know anything about the guy, but he's just fucking epic.
My man doesn't wear shirts, and he just drinks a lot, and he is just the funniest dude on the... I don't know if you've ever heard him laugh.
It's contagious.
Do you know his laugh?
No.
He does this, like...
Awful laugh where he like he can't like breathe and it's really over the top but it's become really apparent that it's like forced not real And it's like forced.
And it's just funny watching people just eat it up.
They're just like, he is hilarious.
This is why I'm laughing at him.
Yeah, it's like Jimmy Fallon.
That's why Jimmy Fallon is so funny.
Yeah, exactly.
That's why Bill Maher is so funny.
It's because he always like starts laughing before he finishes reading the joke somebody else wrote for him.
him.
Well, Bill Maher's so funny because he's the smartest guy in the room.
Uh, I just wanted to have a moment of silence to let Tony's opinion about Bill Maher sink in for everybody.
I mean, Bert Kreischer, his beard is pretty epic, so I think I kind of see what you mean.
I know I liked him the second I saw the flat-billed brim and the beard.
I'm like, this is one of my guys.
This is me and this guy.
We're going to get along.
Yeah.
So he's like a stand-up comedian.
I'm not a stand-up comedian guy.
Uh, everybody, like, I don't, I don't really watch specials.
If somebody is like this clip was so fricking funny and it's like in my feet, I might watch it and I might chuckle.
I don't genuinely like to be held hostage by somebody with a microphone.
You know, I mean, well, you know, I'll listen to a podcast, but, uh, let's be honest.
Let's be all Alexander.
It's not that it's not that you don't like comedians is that you don't like truth.
Hmm.
I think that's true.
I think we know that.
You don't like truth.
I want to be entertained, and the comedians stopped being entertaining.
They're too busy holding the world up on their shoulders by telling the truth, like you said.
I just kind of want dumb entertainment.
That's why I watch CNN.
Ha ha!
Got em!
Uh, yeah.
So this guy Bert, he's like famous for being the inspiration for Van Wilder, which I didn't know.
So I think that means he like drank dog cum in college or something like that.
I think so.
Uh, and then... I did not know that either.
That's so funny.
And he's got like a, he's got like a movie that came out.
That's kind of what I heard about who he was when the movie came out.
And I don't know, like people, he's, he kind of seems like a bunch of people like think he's a clown at the same time as like think he's epic standup comedy bro.
Don't really know.
Anyway, if you're asking me about my opinion of him after watching this video, he's interesting.
He has some very interesting thoughts, such as why is this grocery store empty?
Why is this drugstore empty?
It's almost like they're going out of business.
Yeah, he tweeted, what's going on at Rite Aid?
Question mark, question mark, question mark.
Rite Aid no longer appears to have an X account, if they ever did.
Yeah, let's watch this video from Burt Kreischer.
This is Los Angeles.
Everything is gone.
Look at this.
This is our deodorants, I think.
Like, he's not exaggerating.
Like, literally every product in the store is gone.
Yeah.
Like, the whole row of deodorants.
I'm like, why did they let him in?
Are they still trying to sell, like, the last Twisted Teas or what?
I think you can get like the displays at this point.
I think they're just trying to get rid of that.
And also for the record, he's walking by like a deodorant display where they do have plexiglass in front of it.
These are all products that if they were there, they would be locked up, which is kind of important to think about with where he's going here.
This I don't know, this this isn't the same like glass case locking situation, but the bottom shelves, the bottom shelves, those are anti theft.
A little box for your deodorant stick?
Your $2 deodorant stick?
Your $2 deodorant stick?
That's great.
This place is going...
I mean, this looks like...
It looks like it's been looted.
And I guess these just...
Imagine seeing that.
Just like nothing on the shelves, but it's all like...
The same sections have been cleared out.
There's not like any detritus or anything on the floors and you're just this is they've looted it.
It's all gone.
What is there is clean and organized like that's not what that's I mean of all the words looting is so funny.
Come in.
You see it.
You see these gangs.
They come in.
They bring 50 duffel bags to carry every stick of deodorant out of the store.
But just the deodorant.
See, that's what they do.
They attack the deodorant first.
They test the vulnerabilities of the store.
And then that way, they could take what they've learned and use it on other items.
Well, I knew something was going on because I don't know if you've caught on to this, but like thugs don't stink anymore.
Thugs just don't stink like they used to be a huge B.O.
problem, but now they all got deodorant.
That's weird.
They all got deodorant, but Rite Aid doesn't.
That's kind of funny to me.
And take whatever is expensive and just fucking walk out with it.
This is crazy.
Like you're like scared of ghosts.
That's that's like what you're doing right now.
It's fucking phenomenal.
Like you can go, it's just funny because like this guy has definitely watched compilations of every looting that's happened, you know, in the last 30 years on video, but it's like whatever set to a Kendrick Lamar song and it's all supposed to be taking place during the Black Lives Matter uprising or whatever.
And this is just, he just wants to be part of the next compilation.
And he's just like, well, it has to be looting because in the looting videos, products were there and they're not.
And I'm seeing there's no products here.
So how else would they have been?
Are they gone?
Yeah.
I love that he used deodorant as the example, which is so funny.
Cause he's like, they just come in and they just grab everything that's expensive.
Like the natural deodorant, like, like the expensive, like $12 natural deodorant is like, if that, if just that was missing, you might be onto something here.
This is, Unrecognizable.
They took the beauty products away because they don't want us to be beautiful anymore.
They don't want women to be beautiful.
Also, you already told us you were in Rite Aid, so you know it's recognizable.
Also, it does say Rite Aid everywhere still.
When I move to Los Angeles, you come into Rite Aid.
You come into Rite Aid.
This is the best part.
Sorry.
The best part.
When I moved to Los Angeles, you come into Rite Aid, you spend the fucking afternoon looking around.
What?
This is what if you couldn't if you can hear it, he says, when I first moved to Los Angeles, you'd come into Rite Aid and you'd spend the frickin afternoon just looking around at everything at the wonders of the West Coast.
It's super awesome because this guy is supposed to be like the ultimate party guy.
This guy is supposed to be the most fun guy in the world.
And it's also like Los Angeles, which is like a shopping capital of the world.
Like it.
What are you doing this afternoon?
Me and the boys thinking about poems and writing and just looking around all afternoon.
Yeah, hell yeah.
And then, you know, when you've seen a lot of this stuff, you can go outside, chill out front on your car, take a break, see who else pulls up.
Yeah, exactly.
Post up in the parking lot.
There's so many stores that like Target for sure.
I get it.
We've all spent an afternoon at Target.
But like, no one's doing this at Riot Aid, and if you're doing this at Riot Aid, I don't know, maybe your special interest is pharmacies?
Maybe that's why you're spending an afternoon there?
But like, I don't see anyone ever doing this, ever.
So fucking sad.
So sad.
It's just, this is what they took from us.
Afternoons at Rite Aid.
And by they, I wonder who he means.
You know, obviously, like, we don't have to beat around the bush here.
Just tapping into the meme of criminal shoplifting enterprises by young black men are closing these Our Nation's CVS's and, you know, whatever.
They've watched enough Viral local San Francisco news funded by tech real estate guys to know that the number one problem with the West Coast is Rite Aid's being looted.
So, so funny.
No, my man, what's sad is you have the complexion that one can only get through alcoholism.
That's the only way you get that particular shade of red and that particular type of face is it's the only way you can do it is alcohol.
That's why he doesn't like writing anymore is because when he was young, he was able to drink while he was walking around, but they're cracking down now.
I will say.
You know, other than them being a soulless corporation or whatever, Rite Aid did have a good selection.
You could get booze there, you could get cigarettes there, you could get $5 DVDs there, you could get a passport done there, almost anything you could imagine.
But like no one's ever gone to a Rite Aid unless like on purpose, unless they were picking that prescription.
You just go to the store that's like that.
It's close to you.
Sure.
Like if you're like a Walgreens or a CVS Loyalist, I don't know what that life's like.
I'm just going to the one that's closest.
Right.
Well, it's not going to be Rite Aid anymore because they got shoplifted out of business.
Yeah.
So are you happy?
You happy now, Tony?
Which one can I get like athlete's foot spray and like an Arizona tea?
Exactly.
He just- he's got his mouth open.
His mouth is just open and he's staring around the store.
He's gobsmacked.
This is Los- what is this?
I guess the frickin' escape from LA.
Gotta try to do that now.
Austin?
Austin, do you guys have Rite-Aids still?
Uh-oh.
I don't know.
I'm sure- I'm sure they do.
I'm sure that's why everyone's moving there, because they have the sickest Rite-Aids.
Yeah, they are unburdened by regulations, so you can have just anything at the Rite-Aid.
So good.
What a loser.
It would have been cool if he was actually good at this kind of thing and he had Los Angeles by X playing in the background or something like that.
But he's not good at this, so total missed opportunity.
Or you could have put like an ironic thought, like, you know, fear.
I love living in the city.
Yeah.
Kind of a thing.
Well, in case you're wondering why this Rite Aid actually had no, very few products on the shelf, it's because they're currently going through bankruptcy.
The national company that owns Rite Aid is going through bankruptcy.
And I'm reading here from Reuters, Rite Aid bankruptcy plan approved, cutting two billion in debt.
A U.S.
bankruptcy judge on Friday approved a Rite Aid's restructuring plan, allowing the pharmacy chain to cut its debt by $2 billion and turn over control to a group of lenders.
U.S.
bankruptcy judge Michael Kaplan approved Rite Aid's bankruptcy plan at a court hearing in Trenton, New Jersey, saying that the restructuring had saved the company from having to shut down and liquidate operations.
Yada, yada, yada.
Rite Aid filed for Chapter 11 in October 2023 after reporting $750 million in losses and $24 billion in revenue for the past fiscal year.
Rite Aid used its bankruptcy to close hundreds of stores, sell its pharmacy benefit company Elixir, and negotiate settlements with its lenders, drug distribution partner McKesson, and other creditors.
Those other creditors?
Including cities that sued Rite Aid over the U.S.
opioid epidemic.
Rite Aid's restructuring will provide $47 million to junior creditors, including individuals and local governments that have sued the company, allegedly contributing to the deadly U.S.
opioid epidemic.
Before it filed for bankruptcy, Rite Aid faced 1,600 opioid lawsuits, including one by the federal government, alleging that the company ignored red flags when filing suspicious prescriptions for addictive opioid pain drugs.
Um, so this is fantastic.
This is why I just, I'm so fascinated by the right wing because again, the opioid crisis, right?
One of like the few right wing bugaboos that's real, not, not even just, not even, it's just a good, a good thing to be concerned about or even just that actually exists.
One of the things that actually exists that they're supposedly upset about, One of the corporations that is legally responsible for furthering the opioid epidemic is experiencing ramifications because of the efforts of local governments, because of the efforts of local cities, right?
It wasn't your ass boycotting Rite Aid because they're woke or whatever that made that punished them for the opioid epidemic.
It was actual local governments that sued them and won money.
Mm hmm.
And you're looking at the consequences of ride aids, of of this corporate malfeasance that killed people.
And you're like, God damn black people.
Yep.
It's so it's so funny.
Again, another example of there's plenty to be mad about.
I mean, between like the opioid crisis and getting billions of dollars Like, just written off?
There's plenty to be pissed off about, you know?
But like, instead you're like, you're making up a boogeyman.
Because that's, I think it's just an easier sell, you know?
It's so stupid.
He's just a fucking dumbass dude.
He's just so fucking stupid.
Yeah.
Because it's not about actually like fixing these problems, it's about what you can use these problems to achieve.
It's what you can use the opioid And I mean, there are a lot of these people who are involved in, you know, the, like, anti-whatever, anti-drug laws and stuff who have, like, lost family to opioid or are, like, addicts themselves or whatever.
But no, the idea is to, like, Eliminate the vaccine.
That's like what the right-wing quote like war on pharmaceuticals is about.
It's not about punishing them for over-prescribing opioids and using an addictive model to make money for themselves and just destroy human lives.
It's about a wedge issue, a medical rights wedge issue For again, one of the few good things pharmaceutical companies have done, which is develop vaccines that save people's lives.
Yep.
You should actually absolutely be suspicious of a pharmacy that is going under after like this huge pandemic.
Right.
They're one of the only places that was open the whole time, you know, like they like they should not be suffering.
Yeah, you're totally right there.
If they're coming out of this, you know, by closing, they fucked up somewhere else for sure.
It's such a sick instinct to me.
It's such a sick habit to just automatically defend the corporation.
Yep.
To just automatically be like, well, the company's failing here.
It must be the urban youth's fault.
You know what I mean?
And that's just speaks to like the right wing ideology of, well, a private corporation is fucking God and could never do anything wrong.
It must be the consumer who is wrong or the criminals who are doing this to them or whatever.
And that's, that's kind of the impetus.
It doesn't matter that it, that, you know, the support that this is happening to a corporation, that the right wing is Supposedly anti-corporate now.
We're anti-elite, we're anti-corporate or whatever.
And it's just like, whoops, our natural instinct was to defend the corporation against poor people, you know?
Yep.
I wish they took the angle of like, I think riot aid's going under because kids just don't get snacks anymore.
Kids just don't go out and get snacks from there anymore.
It's just, it's done.
And they've let this corporation crumble because of it.
But you couldn't say that because those snacks, they all have like high fructose corn syrup and seed oils and stuff, and all that stuff is woke, you know?
So you really gotta be careful with like... It's funny, they have so many supposed criticisms of corporations, but still, they just can't...
Override their instinct to defend them in the moment.
Trying to pull up the screenshots here of some really funny responses that I saw.
Peter replies, What about other businesses leaving?
It's not just Bartels.
Bartels is a chain, is like a drugstore chain.
Many going cash only due to multiple robberies.
What?
What?
How do you what?
How would that help?
How would that help avoid?
Doesn't that just give them more cash to rob?
I don't want this.
What are you saying?
I honestly the only way I can understand this is it's just working backwards to.
A grassroots dumbass right-wing movement to go back to cash only because then it's harder for the government to tax you and it's harder for you to get scammed by your bank who's mad at you just because you did some terroristic threats or whatever.
Or whatever, or like, you know, throw you in prison for that kind of stuff.
So they just want to go cash only.
They just like saw some viral meme about a mom and pop shop who's protesting the government by going cash only.
And so that's just good in their minds.
So obviously that's also the way to go if you're getting robbed too much.
I'm just sick of it.
I'm sick of all this government interference being robbed all the time.
We're going back to the dollar.
See, that's why I that's why I don't even do the dollar anymore.
I've just been buying commemorative coins and most places I can I can figure it out.
We can do an exchange by most places.
I just mean like people on Craigslist.
But I mean, you can pretty much get everything on Craigslist with some commemorative coins.
They hold that they don't hold their value.
They just get they get more and more valuable.
Wow.
Yeah, because they only make a limited amount of those.
Yeah.
Get whatever you want on them to.
Yeah, Tom replies, are you unable to say the word black?
Right?
To Brett, to the original poster.
Because everybody knows what he's talking about, but Tom is like mad because he's not saying it with his whole chest.
And like we would this might seem like an ironic like comment possibly, but because it's verified and because he has like the Giga Chad avatar, we know he's what he's doing.
We know he's like saying, just say it, bro.
Yeah, he's like, say it for us, man.
I'll say it for you.
Actually, I just did.
I just did say it right now for you.
1000 likes, by the way, on this guy.
The Patrick James gang says, that's what horrible public policy looks like.
Um, and so I like this response because, you know, other Brett himself, like the propaganda around this, Tom Hennessey, they're all like black people.
We, we know it's black people.
But the Patrick James gang is actually, it's the public policy that lets black people live here.
Yes.
And then you look at Patrick James gang's profile.
Oh boy.
Fat guy figuring it out.
Recently retired 911 operator with lots of issues.
Painfully honest and profane.
Dark humor.
Fixing 15 years of neglect.
100 emoji club.
100 emoji.
Brother.
Brother.
Trauma dumping in your bio is wild.
It is wild.
Well, if you're a verified Twitter user who pays $8 a month, people have to see it.
So true.
Somebody's going to see it and possibly respond to it.
It's funny because, I mean, he's like taking kind of my mentality when it comes like racism.
It's like, like racism is not the issue.
It's the public policy and the laws and the institutions that are at work that allow racism to thrive and actually affect people negatively.
And he's doing the opposite.
He's like, no, it's the institutions, the public policy and the laws that are allowing these things to flourish.
It's allowing them to do these things.
It's like, what?
Brother, what?
Uh, Angry Cops on Twitter says, you, uh, just hearing about this, brother?
About the empty ride aids?
You just, yo, you just hearing about this?
I love it!
Cause this is fake.
We've already determined that this is fake.
Yeah.
And I love being like, oh, you just heard about this fake thing.
I've been knowing, I've known about this fake thing for years now, brother.
And I, it's because they can't help being fucking assholes.
No.
You know what I mean?
These were like the top, I'm literally pulling like the top comments who were supporting his premise that thugs looted this Rite Aid.
Because if you go into the replies here, it's been long enough to where the, The most successful replies were the ones calling this comedian a fucking idiot for being bewildered at the fact that a bankrupt store doesn't have any items on the shelves anymore.
And so then all the blue check bots are just copying those Like actually, Rite Aid filed for bankruptcy.
So you get to see the correct thing done in like a Reddit snark style 50 times by blue checks before you get an actual human being saying anything.
But these guys, they're just like, like the one guy.
Oh, you can't say black, I guess.
Like, it's like this guy was on your side.
This standup comedian guy was on your side.
Like you're supposed to like gently trick him into joining the cult.
He's already halfway there.
He's already got one foot in because of fucking The TikTok feed he subscribes to or whatever.
But you can't help yourself.
You have to just be more racist than him.
Or if you're a cop, you have to be more angry and, you know, hallucinatory about break-ins than you are currently.
Yeah.
Well, I mean, but the thing is, you're saying all this, you're saying like, you know, angry cops makes you so slick by saying, oh, you're hearing about this.
But you don't know this, but angry cops has actually been posted up at his local riot aid protecting it.
For months now.
Yeah, and I've been to that, right?
And there ain't shit on those shelves either.
So angry cops, angry cops got there late or he's full of it or something.
I don't know.
Angry cop says, I do what drill sergeants do.
Point out the dumb and try to fix the stupid.
If somebody has this in their bio, they're probably the stupidest guy you've looked at in the last hour.
Also, are you a cop or are you a drill sergeant?
Oh, he's probably a military police.
This is frickin' the Jack Reacher guy.
Dang.
Dang.
Everything is a joke.
Nothing posted represents D.O.D.
Yeah, everything's a joke.
Everything I do and believe and write and think is a joke.
I agree.
Yep.
The Confirmer has confirmed, replied to Angry Cops and says, probably first time for him.
So hearing about, you know, these looting organizations that are stripping Rite Aid of its products.
Probably first time time for him.
Liberals do zero research of anything that matters.
Complete sheep.
Is he a liberal?
Are they pinning him to be a liberal?
Because, like, I think he definitely veers more towards, like, conservative, you know, I mean, pretty easily.
I don't know where they're getting this from.
I think he's probably like in the friend group of other standup comedians who are extremely right.
Like, like probably like fascists, you know, talking about like, like mowing down homeless people with AK 47s or whatever.
And he's just the kind of guy, I just stay out of all that kind of, kind of stuff.
You know, I just, I talk about partying or fucking or, or whatever.
And so they just assume he's a communist.
Yeah, that could probably happen.
He probably has a couple posts where he's not completely transphobic.
But it's just like, he must be a lib.
But the first time I read this, probably the first time, liberals do zero research of anything that matters.
Complete sheep.
I thought this might be a joke.
I thought this might be a rant.
Knowing that Rite Aid is filing for bankruptcy.
Type in Rite Aid.
I bet at this point, if you typed in Rite Aid, The higher search result probably would be the bankruptcy.
Probably wouldn't be the shoplifting.
Maybe like six months ago to a year ago, it would have been the shoplifting.
Now it's probably the bankruptcy.
It might even be Bert Kreischinger being wrong about it.
That might also be one of the first things.
But yeah, but he does his research because, you know, he's not liberal.
But I went to the confirmer has confirmed Twitter page, because I wanted to see if they were like being ironic or whatever.
And again, they say liberals do zero research of anything that matters.
Going to his profile to see his pinned tweet, the type of research he does is, of course, in the Bible.
He researches the Bible for what Israel is going to do next to Lebanon.
Yep.
Yep.
That's the kind of research he means.
That's the only truth I know.
Only truth I care about.
To be fair, I guess a lot of liberals don't do any kind of that kind of research.
Last I heard, you know, the news was influenced by Russia.
You know who influenced the Bible?
God.
Woah.
Yep.
Think about it.
Are you saying Putin is stronger than God?
Woah.
Woah.
I mean, yeah, that's what the liberals have allowed.
Liberals think that.
Liberals really think that Putin is stronger than God.
Last response here from Owen Benjamin.
You know this guy, Tony?
It sounds familiar.
He's another comedian.
He's the racist comedian.
He's the comedian who's not afraid to be racist and say the n-word.
Fucking like... Just be a general asshole.
So cool.
Owen Benjamin says, bro, you're being... So he's responding to Brett saying, bro, you're being a little racist and homophobic with this post.
I'm worried about you.
Maybe you should get off social media until you get your hate under control.
Uh, and he's doing what he's doing is a parody of what a lib would say about him just for filming empty grocery store shelves.
All he's doing is filming empty grocery store shelves and people are saying, you need to go to jail for being racist.
That's how fucking crazy we are in society right now.
Uh, and so just get, just get used to the hate.
And it's it's it's like he actually is like he this didn't happen.
Like what he's saying he made up because he's racist.
He might not be like knowingly being racist.
He's just absorbed enough racist media to just this is how he fucking thinks now.
And I'm not giving him a I'm not giving him a get out of jail free card or whatever or absolving him of that.
I'm just saying like.
You can't do the ironic concern trolling when it just actually is the thing.
It's just it's like it's one of the biggest examples of the thing.
It's the thing that debunks your whole talking point.
Yep, exactly.
It's it's.
I love the whole throwing homophobic in there.
It's just so funny.
It's just so silly.
That's how crazy these libs see empty store shelves and they'll accuse you of being homophobic.
You can't say anything now.
You can't say anything now.
You can't say that there's an organized crime wave happening the second I go to sleep and that it ends the second I wake up.
But the evidence is clear.
Yeah.
The empty shelves.
Yeah.
They're stealing it out from under our noses and it's sickening to me.
And the police won't report on it.
Anyway, that was fun.
I think we're going to end it here.
Thanks everybody for listening to the show.
I just wanted to plug my new podcast with Ani, my partner Ani, frequent guest of Minion Death Cult.
Close other tabs with Ani and Alex.
An ongoing investigation into passing interests.
This is my new podcast with my partner Ani, where every episode I will consensually rifle through her browser tabs and make a shocking discovery that requires serious investigation.
I will question Ani about her particular interest, digging at the heart of the matter until I can unearth the essence of its nature, i.e.
how it affects me personally.
Um, people have referred, you know, people, people, thank you for the responses to the show.
People are enjoying the show.
Good stuff.
Thank you.
People are hopefully jokingly referring to this as my, me entering my wife bad era.
Uh, but no, this, this is my wife.
Interesting.
Yeah.
Yeah.
If anything, this is the, um, you're too dumb to figure it out.
Thank God she's there to help you.
Oh no, sometimes I have to drag the truth into the light with her kicking and screaming.
For instance, there's a new episode, there's two episodes out already, new episode coming out this week where I will interrogate Ani about her tab, propane torch with push button igniter.
We'll learn how important it is for ecology to let Ani set fires.
We'll learn other helpful things you can do with fire in your yard.
And the best way to do lawn care without thinking about the hundreds of tiny insects you're killing with your every move.
That's interesting.
I like that.
