“We do this all over the U.S., and we’ve never been attacked like this,” the neo-Nazi told police w/Brett Payne [Unlocked!]
TODAY: Ani's in the cohost Chair and Brett Payne of Street Fight Radio, Relatively Unknown, and our friendship returns to the show to talk about neo-Nazis being pummeled by Columbus OH residents at their last attempted march. Are all racists feds? Or maybe gay, anti-Trump Republicans? Russians? And is there any difference between Nazis and anti-genocide activists anyway? PLUS: A San Fransisco Slimeball pimp-turned-anti-homeless-activist-turned-alleged-pimp-again, Raw Ricci, is arrested. We look at his awful viral rise to fame and the sensible centrist politicians who aided him. We also learn about fans of Ricci's poverty porn harassment-style content and learn their not very surprising opinions about him being arrested for pimping and assaulting a minor.

And conservative humor gone awry is going to fascist-fornia today.
So stay tuned.
We're going to take a few pictures of the desert and how their policies are actually messing it up.
It's not beautiful when you go across that border.
But stay tuned, guys.
I'm Alexander Edward.
I'm Ani.
And we are Minion Death Cult.
The world is ending.
Tony Boswell is responsible.
And we're documenting it.
Tony can't be here today.
He wants me to tell everybody that it's because he didn't want to be here today.
He has no consideration for the listeners.
He has, in fact, contempt for them.
And a special form of contempt for our guest today, Brett Payne of the legendary Street Fight Radio and of the Relatively Unknown podcast.
Tony wanted me to tell you, Brett, he wanted me to make sure to tell you, fuck you.
Damn.
Wow, I was supporting him so hard from the sidelines, too.
I guess he wasn't picking up that energy, though.
No, we have a great episode today, and it just revolves around a couple Brett Payne things, like a couple things that I thought of you immediately.
We've been wanting to get you on the show for a while.
These things, I was just like, these are so perfect for Brett.
And we'll get to those in a second.
And just Tony couldn't make it work with his schedule.
But no, he in fact wanted me to make sure everybody knew that he really wanted to be here on this episode, but couldn't.
Yeah, I do want to come back.
I do want to talk shit with Tony again, of course.
And you guys actually asked at the perfect time.
With the election, I was immediately like, I have to start podcasting again.
I just immediately felt like, I had to crank the old engine up.
And so I was thinking before the end of this year, I was going to get my podcast going again.
So you are like the wind in my sails right now that get on track.
Please.
Yeah, we got to get a podcasting vibe going here.
Thank you so much to Ani for filling in as co-host here.
Ani and I, of course, do the side podcast, Close Other Tabs, where you can learn all about what makes Ani tick.
We're gonna make more episodes.
Don't worry.
That ticking, is it an explosive device?
Tune in to find out.
Mercury Tilt Bomb, maybe?
But yeah, thank you for being here, Ani.
So the first thing I did want to talk about today was, I saw this in the news, a bunch of neo-Nazis marched in Columbus, Ohio, and then afterwards complained to the cops that people were too violent to them.
Did not believe that was real.
I saw that and was like, they're complaining?
What is this?
It felt like The Onion.
It felt like, you know, satire.
It's good satire, to be honest, for them to say, wow, these guys in Columbus are just real bastards.
Real street fighters.
You know, yeah.
I mean, we've done it before.
There is historically in the 90s it happened.
I initially did not know anything.
No, any violence had went down, though.
Because when it originally came through, it was just people sitting at brunch going like, oh my gosh, what is this?
And it's like, I mean, throw a chair.
Somebody throw a bottle.
Somebody boo them.
Don't let it happen in front of you.
And the reason they're doing it in those places is because...
That's where no one has the guts to stand up to them, you know?
But then I hear the next day, yeah, people maced them.
Someone threw soup at them.
Remember the classic soup for my family?
Somebody shared some soup for their family with them.
So good.
Anarchist materials are back in 2024. I'm so happy that your first impulse was to say throw a chair at them.
I mean, it was right there.
It was like an empty patio.
You could easily just...
You don't have to touch them.
Yeah, just huck it.
A drink, a glass, any of that stuff.
Dish time.
People will jump in afterwards.
You guys gotta get it started, you know?
Yeah, you gotta prime the pump.
Exactly.
People love throwing stuff.
We're gonna whip their ass.
Yeah, let's whip their ass, everybody.
I'm reading here from the Columbus Dispatch.
A group of neo-Nazis who marched through the short north this month were not arrested because police determined they were not the aggressors in a fight that broke out, according to documents and video footage.
I don't know.
Walking with a swastika should be, I think, incitement.
That should definitely count as a challenge to everybody around you.
I mean, and this is the worst part of American culture is the free speech shit, which is where we don't say we should take a stand against this.
We just say, I don't know.
If enough people want to be Nazis, we have to be Nazis.
If it catches on, you know, everybody has the right to say it.
You have to let them speak their piece.
Yeah, they should start like the Democratic Nazi Association of America to counter the Democratic Socialists and, you know, be like, what?
We're doing the same thing.
We have our AOC. It's Valentina Flores who talks about killing homos at the Texas border or whatever.
But that is like the way a lot of people, you know, oh, it's a legitimate ideology that you have to humor.
You have to humor somebody.
In your face, saying that a number, a very large number of people in the world deserve to be exterminated, are subhuman, and deserve to be killed.
Yeah, we can reason with those people.
Or that their leader is just a jokester, is just a hilarious guy, you know?
Like, it's just fucking hilarious that he's the president, you know?
Yeah, which is bullshit.
And I think that's what I get in the most shit with liberals about.
We can say no to shit.
We can all come together.
We know the shit is bad.
We know it's fucked up.
You don't have to reason your way out of it.
You don't have to convince them of shit.
We just have to stop them.
Liberals kind of, like the average right-wingers, liberals think exerting power is cheating.
Right.
You know, and right-wingers, you know, Republicans do know how to exert power, and so do Democrats, obviously, for things that they really care about.
But I'm talking about, like, the liberal voter, the centrist scold or whatever.
They kind of, yeah, operate under the assumption that, like, using any power is bad, and you just have to kind of stay out of things and let the market or whatever do everything.
And, yeah, like, I mean...
I think a big job of the left is convincing liberals that organizing and wielding power is actually a good thing and can be used for good and isn't just, you know, because if not, like, then the idea that the government is just in the way, the right-wing idea that government is just in the way becomes true if they're not doing anything to fix any of the problems.
Oh, yeah, and we have backed ourselves up to that point as well, where it's like, well, I mean, I definitely don't believe in this government, but sure, there's a fantasy government in my mind that would take the time to provide house, you know, get rid of, like, housing as a commodity, you know, and provide food and healthcare and simple shit that, you know.
Sensible stuff, yeah.
Yeah.
And it bugs me too because everybody's so damn plain and doesn't give a shit about much and doesn't get vying very much.
And we just suffer for millionaire assholes, greedy fucking people that take everything else.
But Jesus Christ, if you force the right wingers to get free health care, tell them they have to go and they can't pay.
Even if they try, their card won't be accepted.
Force them to not have student loan debt for their fucking kids.
You know, like, and I'm all for it.
And teach them how to do fucking HVAC to like, I'm I mean, get micro out of the way to fuck that.
We'll pay for all that shit, too.
Totally.
It's just, man, just turning 40 this year, the way that we're still stuck in this elementary, I don't know, the stagnation, not even elementary, it's just the stagnation of the world and what can be accomplished by a big group of people.
Yeah, I mean, it's the Fukuyama end of history thing, but not because...
It was inevitable that that would be the pinnacle of humanity because that's what they wanted.
That's all the progress capital wanted.
That was as far as capital was willing to go.
Equal rights for consumers of all colors and nothing beyond that.
This article is pretty great, though.
Getting back to it.
In body camera footage, Columbus police released Monday.
The neo-Nazis told police they have never experienced a response like the one they received in Columbus.
They said people pulled guns on them and threw cans and vegetables as they marched, waved flags, and yelled racial slurs.
When I first read this, I thought the Nazis were also getting called racial slurs.
In addition to throwing cans and flashing guns, they were calling them anti-white slurs.
They called us crackers and honkies.
Just like a neo-Nazi crying because someone yelled cave cricket at him.
I was called a saltine and then he doused me in soup.
One of the officers noted the men were, quote, covered in pepper spray.
Thank you, Columbus.
I'm just glad.
I can't complain.
It sounded like I was complaining.
This is enough.
I think this is enough.
It sucks.
I mean, yeah.
uh it sucks though because like and if you do watch their footage the nazis footage um they do like bear mace somebody who hasn't even touched them yet who's just yeah who's just like kind of walk as at brunch i think they like walk packed walked past a wrought iron gate with people inside eating and shit and one of the guys that starts yelling at him at the you know at the doorway or whatever and the guy just turns around point blank and fucking sprays him with mace
so you got to be careful when you you know when you get close to these people like just uh recognize that they are carrying mace they are carrying uh guns occasionally we learn in this article that one of One of them is carrying a fixed blade knife on it.
Yes, of course, oppose these people, but just do it smartly with situational awareness.
Absolutely.
The November...
Oh, go ahead.
No, no.
I'm just...
They also like the loser shit of riding around in U-Haul vans.
I don't...
It looks so fucking...
It's just like doofy.
I don't know.
I guess they don't want their license plates to get out there.
Yeah, it's about not getting doxxed.
They look like they got tricked into canvassing for the Nazi party or something.
Yeah, this was Elon Musk's canvassing app.
It's still going.
Like the fucking samurai in what's it called?
Not extradition.
Anyway.
Yeah, this whole thing was paid for get the vote out money.
Police initially made contact with the neo-Nazis in a chaotic scene on the sidewalk near Goodell Park at about 1.15pm, according to a radio log printout from Columbus Police.
There, the neo-Nazis wearing black and red clothing and carrying black flags with red swastikos told police they were leaving because they were under attack.
This article is so good.
In the background, bystanders shouted at them to take off their masks.
They told police they were marching because, quote, our country is being invaded and white people are being ostracized.
Okay, remember that.
Remember that as like an organizing mission statement for these overt Nazis.
While they refused to tell police where they lived, they referenced past marches in other cities.
Police said they'd received a report that they were yada, yada, yada, stuff about the pepper spray.
Several officers, including multiple black officers, were present at the scene on the sidewalk.
One black officer tried to reason with the marchers, pointing out that they were bound to see confrontation from people for shouting hateful things.
Quote, I definitely feel your First Amendment rights to say whatever nonsense this is.
But come on, man, the officer said the Buckeyes are playing.
Man, come on.
Yeah, that's pretty much the city.
That's the number one thing going on.
It takes over the whole city when the Buckeyes are on, and everybody is leaning inside of a door to watch a TV if they're not actually watching the game.
I love the, come on, man.
Just come on, man.
Come on, man.
Just think about it, man.
You're wearing a swastika.
Come on, man.
These people going to brunch, going low.
You could go high, Nazi guy.
Yeah, I don't know.
I like that as the response from this.
Come on, just be Nazis in the privacy of your own home.
You vote once every two years and just don't be loud about it.
Yeah, I can't stop you.
I can't stop you from voting for your people.
But yeah, stay in St. Louis.
I think that's where they were from, right?
They only were able to ID one guy because guess what?
The cops didn't do shit to these fucking assholes.
And, you know, more on that in just a second.
But they got the idea from one guy who, yeah, one of them was from Missouri.
One of them was from New Jersey.
Other people on the Internet are doxing them.
Like, sorry, I didn't recognize any of these names.
I'm sure if you go to, like, a repository of white nationalists, these people will now appear in that, which is good.
I don't know how any of that works, so I can't be very helpful on that front.
But other people are doing the work, you know?
Yeah, I mean, it's the best outcome we can have.
I mean, I'm glad they got some faces.
We still have to openly ruin these people's lives.
Oh, absolutely.
It's a big part of it.
So yeah, just some responses here.
I mean, the number one response from the right wing is, oh, these are matrix agents.
These are agents of the deep state pretending to be racist.
We all know nobody is racist in real life.
These are all just feds, like OGK. I don't know.
He's got like an NFT avatar.
13-year-old in the body of a 45-year-old man says, quote, never received such a violent response as the one they received in Columbus, end quote, meaning they aren't from here.
So I saw this originally and I was like, oh, this is a liberal.
This is a liberal saying these are like outside agitators starting shit, you know, trucked in to foment, you know, people in Columbus are good people or whatever, which I, you know...
They apparently are very good people.
Well, you know, not so much because the Stormfront website started in the heart of it all here in Columbus, Ohio.
Famously, the owner and the architect of that racist-ass website lives in Worthington, Ohio, which is inside the outer belt and still is Columbus.
Okay, well, did you know that the Democrats used to own all the slaves in the country?
Wow.
Much to consider.
Yeah, I mean, so...
The feds are accomplishing what by doing this?
By making Trump supporters look bad.
That's how they get you.
First they make your daughter stop talking to you and then they frame you for being a Nazi on the local news.
So we think because the vice president said that Haitian people eat dogs that the Nazis would start showing up in the streets.
Yeah, it's not because of that.
Okay, okay.
It's not because of any actual white nativist great replacement theory.
That is like one of the animating forces of the Republican Party and has been for a while.
Yeah, I mean, like every single one of these people saying, oh, these are feds, fed boys, fed boys.
Like the only reason they think that is because, well, these people were like actually going out.
And doing something for their beliefs and, like, instead of, you know, staying home and posting online or, you know, playing video games and yelling slurs in the chat room or whatever.
So they must be feds because, yeah, I would never do that.
No one would actually go out there and, you know, stand up for the shit, right?
Or, like, yeah, try to affect politics in a way that's not just, like, voting or posting.
But yeah, this is like the number one.
I think it is because it's like a psyop to convince liberals that the right wing is bad.
Even though the right wing, hey, we just want to get the government out of your business.
You know, like, it's just, it's conveniently like, oh, now I don't care about any of the interracial commercials that I complain about the other 364 days of the year.
Right now, it's just, what the heck?
Nobody actually, there's like three white supremacists in all of North America.
Yeah, this is a hoax, people.
This is fake news.
It's a false flag.
It's the Reichstag fire, you know?
I mean, maybe.
But License Free Butt Rock replies because they are feds.
And then the original NFT poster posted the Billy Madison gif of this guy.
Rest in peace.
What's his name again?
Chris Farley.
Chris Farley.
Taking off his shirt because...
He was playing strip.
Every time that Billy got the answer right, yeah, he stripped.
Billy Madison got an answer right.
And so, you know, instead of Veronica Vaughn, it's him.
And he's saying, that is correct.
And he's putting a little finger in his mouth.
And this is how I think of politics.
I'm like, what's my favorite Billy Madison gif?
And it's not even really related.
It's just, you're just right about something?
Like, it's not that inside of a joke, you know?
This is just a meme this guy had in his quiver about being correct.
Yeah, he's just, it's a hot key on his keyboard.
Shortcut.
Yeah, somebody, Sally McRib 420 says, nor are they Nazis.
Oh, wow.
Mind-blowing.
This is, hey, stupid, wake up.
The people with the swastikas are fucking Nazis.
They're not even Nazis.
Nor are they Nazis.
This is a left-wing group pretending to be Nazis.
I thought the left were the Nazis, so maybe they're being for real Nazis for once and tricking you.
This is a left-wing group pretending to be Nazis because they knew it would be blamed on Trump.
They wear masks so they can't be identified.
Last time they did this, they were identified as Lincoln Project members.
Now, this did happen in a totally different...
With totally different people, with a totally different gimmick, Lincoln Project, who is like the anti-Trump gay Republicans, that's why it's called Lincoln Project, like the only anti-Trump Republicans pretty much in the country, they paid people to dress up like the Tiki Torch Nazis at a Virginia GOP event.
But again, this is pretty funny.
That's not...
Yeah, that's a great gag.
That's some good tomfoolery.
That's some good political tomfoolery right there.
It's a stunt.
It's a neat stunt, you know?
And, you know, it's a little more subdued than the waving a giant swastika flag, you know?
But yeah, this other group that's called, like, Hate 1488 or whatever.
East Sturman gang.
I like the idea that, yeah, it's just gay Republicans.
Actually, I would not be surprised if it were some Zionist group behind it.
But no, I do not disbelieve in the idea of Nazis because we cover them every week on this show, twice a week.
I mean, they have never gone away.
They're not a thing from the past.
The ACLU has been helping them out for decades.
Always been this really stupid freedom of speech fucking thing in America of, you know, we have to respect what these guys think and, you know, and their beliefs and their right to, you know, express them.
Organize, yeah.
Yeah, organize, yeah.
This is, I did want to get a liberal response, so we have Native Funk replying, motherfuckers look awfully Russian.
What the fuck are you talking about?
If they were Russian, they would have caused fucking chaos.
Have you seen videos of Russian dudes going wild?
Oh, I have.
I've seen all those dashcams.
They would have had a bear with them.
They would have had a bear with them, like a three-wheeled tractor that was still working somehow.
More kissing.
Yeah, definitely not rushing.
That was easy to spot.
They would have looked cooler.
They would have all been smoking.
Yeah, everybody would have been like, dude, they got something going on.
I mean, you know.
More people would have joined.
One of them would have electrocuted himself somehow.
They always say they're like the black people of white people, Russians are.
That's what Andrew Schultz says.
No, I haven't.
I did not hear that one.
Who's Andrew Schultz again?
That horrible right-wing comedian guy.
He's the one that said something to Trump about abortions and Barron Trump.
Got it.
Oh, he's Legion of Skanks, right?
That's that guy.
No, he hangs out with Charlemagne and shit.
And also Legion of Gangs 2, though.
Okay, yeah, I don't know.
He's just a shithead guy.
I don't listen to comedy.
I try not to be aware of comedy or what's happening in comedy.
It's hard.
You don't want to pay attention, but you do want to have something to laugh at.
But you definitely, yeah.
I just love being like, oh, here's some Nazis wearing actual swastikas.
That reminds me of Russia.
And not like the Azov Battalion, the people being in the news.
The many active neo-Nazi paramilitary groups and militias that are in the U.S. In the U.S., in Ukraine, and also Russia known for killing the most Nazis of any people ever.
You got to give them some credit for that.
I know they're not so great right now, but...
Right.
They did.
They did put up some good numbers.
Yeah, and like, yeah, also, I mean, more than one thing can be true.
I mean, we have a problem with this going on everywhere right now.
It's turned into a real epidemic somehow.
This shit has catched on, which I don't know.
I thought they beat it into us as kids that this kind of stuff isn't cool, but, you know.
Yeah, I mean, the worldwide failures of neoliberalism really do a number to motherfuckers.
It does bad things to people, and it also enables opportunists who are bad to do worse things.
Yeah, no, it's the easy way out.
It's the angry, fed up, I don't care about anybody, anything type thing.
Yeah, it blows.
Some of these, however, that's not as fun, but some of these responses are pretty fun.
These are on YouTube.
ZNTerror7348 says, I don't like when some people act like there's no reason to be racist.
We all have different experiences.
He's doing standpoint theory for racists.
Is there no reason?
Like, zero reason to be racist?
I don't know if I could say that.
I wouldn't be comfortable saying zero reasons.
Yeah, my lived experience is that Asians are bad drivers.
This guy is like me when I'm like, well, you know, dogs do things for reasons.
Like, we might think that they bite out of nowhere, but there's a reason.
And he's like, you know, sometimes you don't know why someone just, like...
Is racist.
You don't know what their experience is.
My experience with this person was very racist.
I was seeing racism with my own two eyes.
All my thoughts were racist about this person.
Have you ever thought that maybe just Indians give off bad vibes?
You ever thought about this?
I mean, and the terror in the name, that kind of worries me.
We all have different experiences.
This, like, it almost seems like a really innocent person, you know?
And that could be just a good front.
Oh, I'm just pretending to be stupid, to be like eight years old level stupid.
But I feel like if they are, if they really do feel this way, you could just talk to them and be like, well, there's a lot of people in the world, and you might have your handful of experiences or whatever.
That's actually not everybody that exists in the world, and they'd be like, whoa.
He probably worked at a fast food place and got the nickname Milk or something, and it was like, sometimes you can get mistreated for reasons that people don't even think about.
You don't know me.
Yeah, I got yelled at in a neighborhood.
I got yelled at in a neighborhood, so I don't think either racism is good.
Here Box says detained for walking while white.
Dot, dot, dot, dot.
Okay, see, now I don't want to be associated with that.
What do you mean?
I'm just saying, like, I mean, that's pretty bold to say that.
I mean, I guess it is a white thing to do.
But there was all white guys.
Yeah.
And I got to take that.
That's my people.
That's who I am.
Yeah, I just love this as like, okay, yeah, sure, we've heard of driving while black, and that it is bad to be arrested for driving while black.
But imagine if you couldn't even walk.
Imagine if you couldn't even walk down the street with a giant swastika.
You know how when we all walk places together and there's like 30 of us and we're all wearing all black and have our faces covered and we're waving giant Nazi flags and like seek hailing and yelling racial epithets?
You know how like we always get like detained and you know they don't actually grill us hard enough to like get all of our addresses or real identifying information.
You could barely even call it.
Getting detained.
But you know how that always happens to us when we're doing the Nazi thing, man?
Some Hitler guy walking down the street and they're like, start filming, like, leave him alone!
He's just walking while white!
This is fucked up!
He has the right to be white.
Co coin flip lunatic 9269 says they aren't harming anyone Why weren't Poliv...
I think he means police.
Why weren't Poliv present during Palestine protests when they were flying the Palestine flag and burning ours on our soil?
I don't know which Palestine protests you saw that didn't have the cops beat the shit out of them harder than they, literally harder than they touched, which they didn't.
They didn't even touch any of these kids, any of these guys.
They even let a bunch of guys run in there with sticks and mace and shit and beat the fuck out of people and then hide behind the police.
This was all documented.
It was days of it.
Yeah, that's the difference between how the police handle a free speech neo-Nazi protest march and just free Palestine.
Please don't indiscriminately bomb and genocide.
Palestinians, you know, they get the fucking tear gas, they get the boot, and if the cops don't want to do it themselves, they just let the local Zionist militia, probably consisting of at least several IDF members, do it for them.
Yeah, I mean, that's where we're at.
I mean, Palestine is a place.
It's not an ideology.
Yeah.
It's a good point.
Actual people who are actually being erased off the face of the earth presently.
Yeah, and they're like not as bad as Nazis, I don't think.
I think they're just kind of like people, like really poor, imprisoned people.
I don't understand.
You know, it's like the lobbying and brainwashing is so fucking bad, but it seems so simple to me.
When I talk to people and I'm like, imagine somebody stole your fucking grandparents' house.
And then locked you away.
Would you fight back or not?
Like, I mean, are you weak?
Like, are you a coward?
Seriously?
You would just sit down and take all this shit?
Like, I don't think it makes sense from any of the fucking...
You have to debate your house back, dude.
You have to meet them in the marketplace of ideas.
You have to, yeah.
Now you have to prove with paper, pen and paper.
No, in this country...
We used to, like, citizens arrest cops to prevent them from evicting our family or even just our neighbors, you know, on behalf of the bank.
Like, it's not hard to imagine.
It shouldn't be hard to imagine yourself or someone you love in this situation and what you would do to help them.
Absolutely.
Yeah, I mean, if, you know, I mean...
You might as well bullshit yourself and tell you you would do more than what you do in your day-to-day life now.
But for God's sakes, at least stand up for what's right.
Glenn Hubbard 5008 says, I don't see much difference between these guys and those people on college campuses.
So congratulations.
Every centrist liberal who had trouble denouncing what Israel is doing and I don't know, saying that, oh, it's complicated, or you're just uninformed or whatever.
You have assisted both in the demonization of, you know...
Anti-war protesters, essentially, which used to be a huge liberal cause, kind of.
I mean, I know most of them voted for the Iraq War, but at least the liberal voter hated the Iraq War.
Not only that, you've diminished what an actual neo-Nazi is.
You've allowed these weirdos to conflate actual exterminationist policies with the people who are being exterminated by a country that exists.
You know, based on exterminationist policies.
It's wild.
Yeah, I mean, it's like foundational hypocrisy of the whole thing.
I think it's going to break some liberals, man.
I mean, it's definitely already doing that, but...
Dude, we've moved so much.
There was some 20-year-old kid at work that was crying about it, and I was like, you know...
It's fucked up and it sucks to see all this, but the needle has moved so much compared to 2002, whenever I first heard about this shit.
Some other co-worker told me about it.
She was from there.
And I was like, what the fuck?
And that was definitely like, you get fired or you're not allowed to say this stuff at work.
I got co-workers now and...
Thank God the guy I work with the most came out and said he was, like, straight up against it.
And I was like, oh, my God.
Against Israel.
He was, like, in all of that.
And I was like, oh, my God.
I was so nervous I was going to get in a fight at work.
Yeah.
Yeah, I know.
You know, I've had my issues with it at my job.
But at one of the places I deliver to, dude wears a keffiyeh every day.
And he's a good guy.
I chatted with him about.
Prog rock guitar and jazz fusion guitar for a long time.
He's like maybe 10 years older than I am, you know?
Nice.
But he told me about a fight he got into with one of the other employees there over it about it.
So yeah, you know, you always hope that things go better.
But yeah, I do think we've...
I don't know.
I was living in a bubble about Israel and Palestine because I learned about that stuff through music, through punk and hardcore.
And insofar as anybody my age around me knew about it, they were like, oh, that's fucked up.
And I just kind of assumed like...
Broadly, liberals had that, you know, because I thought it would be identified as apartheid, like liberals identified.
Dude, we had a guy when we went to the UW encampment, we had a guy, an older guy on a nice bicycle come up to us and, you know, start trying to debate us or whatever.
He was, like, polite about it.
But I put up with it because it's like, yeah, fine, waste my time.
Like, none of these actual...
Kids who are doing stuff, doing important stuff.
Fine, I'll put up with your bullshit.
But he was like, when I was at school here, we protested South African apartheid.
And I was like, yeah, man.
We're doing it again.
It's good that this is happening.
And his only argument was really like, well...
You know, America's on stolen land, too.
And I was like, that's true.
That's very true.
Wow, good point, dude.
And I was like, if you're like, he's also, shouldn't we have to give all the land back to...
And I was like, you should look.
There's a movement.
You should look into the land back movement and read about what it's actually about.
And the idea is peaceful coexistence with other people who have sovereignty to their land who would...
feasibly share their land with other people, you know?
But anyway, it was just funny that somebody was able to be like, I protested apartheid for South Africa, but...
I don't know.
This guy didn't say he had land in Israel, but I mean, that's kind of what it sounds like to me if that's the first argument you bring up.
What if people lose their land?
And it's like, well, that's what this whole thing's about, bro!
People are losing their land!
A lot of them.
Yeah.
I don't know.
I see...
I see it make sense to people the more you talk to them.
I think the brainwashing isn't as good, you know?
There is a lot that has broken through the dam at this point.
It's just such an uphill battle with the internet, you know?
Yeah.
Because even just like the written documentation, even like the fucking Haaretz.
Like you read the shit in the Israeli newspapers and you're like, oh my god.
This is gnarly, you know, and it's just it's too much to hold back and half of it is being gleefully posted by like the IDF, you know?
Yeah.
And I think that, you know, and there's just like I'm not in control of the world.
I've done a liberal thing my whole life.
I'm also doing well for myself and, you know, a homeowner or two and this kind of.
Harsh is my mellow, man.
It kind of sucks you guys are bringing this up right now.
I thought we could just let this one go for old time's sake.
I built up.
I did the right thing for long enough.
Now I should get to like sit on top of the bounty for a while Yeah.
Well, let's move on because this is the other topic that I wanted to bring up.
This is the story of Ricky or Richie.
I'm not sure.
Ricky Wynn, who is like libs of TikTok style activist for home, but for homeless people in San Francisco, meaning he does like poverty porn and, you know, outrage porn about some of the people who are like dying on the street, essentially.
In San Francisco and who has been on Fox News multiple times, appeared with numerous politicians and at different fundraising events for political groups in San Francisco, who has, wow, surprise, surprise, been arrested again for suspicion of pimping out women and also being inappropriate with a minor.
What?
Wait, this guy with his shirt zipped all the way down below his nipples?
This guy?
The one with the pomade in his hair and the mustache?
Wait, the guy with the Illuminati pyramid all-seeing eye tattooed on his neck was a scumbag?
That's fucking crazy.
Oh, man, I don't know this guy.
Richie Wynn.
I hadn't heard of this dude either until Alex told me about him.
Yeah, you know, I am from California.
I'm not from San Francisco, so I wasn't particularly familiar with this guy.
He seems like a freak of the highest order.
Here's a photo of him in a Make America Great Again hat.
Like, I don't know, his eyebrows are so shaped.
They're beautiful eyebrows.
His mustache, I don't know, and goatee combo.
He's a well-groomed man.
Yeah, but he's like...
I don't know, kind of like psychotically smiling into the camera with this to make America great hat on.
Here's another photo of him.
This is from Gil Duran, who is a reporter who has been covering the Ricky Wynn beat in San Francisco.
Thank you, Gil, who put this on my radar.
Two days before his arrest for pimping and sexual assault, Ricky Wynn, Fox News' favorite San Francisco troll, posed with a duffel bag full of cash, parentheses, and a Lamborghini on Instagram.
Good thing he likes to wear orange.
That's a reference how he's going to be wearing a jumpsuit or something like that.
But yeah, the photo is of him wearing giant obnoxious orange Oakley sunglasses and an orange duffel bag full of cash.
He loves to pose with cash.
You can get cash off of AliExpress.
Like, fake money is easy to get.
Well, the cops have almost $80,000 of real money that they took from Ricky Wynn.
Damn!
Man, that is such a medium pimpin' too.
Like, that's not even breaking six figures.
Yeah, imagine if your fucking apartment rent is $5,000 a month.
Yeah.
Wow.
San Francisco, you're going paycheck to paycheck.
I'm so glad that social media just wasn't what it is now back when I worked at the shelter in downtown Seattle because we probably would have had to fucking deal with guys like this.
Right, totally.
I'm so glad that that wasn't just an additional fucking thing I had to deal with.
On top of what that job was.
Yeah, you should be, like, if you're filming anybody without their consent, that should not happen.
Yeah, that was a huge no-no.
I mean, we would fucking bar people from the shelter for that.
Like, you couldn't get let back in.
We'd, like, make you delete it off your phone and stuff.
We were really serious about privacy.
Yeah, I mean, it's just a disgusting thing to do.
I mean, you should be helping people.
That's the only response you can have.
Leave it alone or help.
So this is what he went viral for.
One of the things he went viral for.
And it is one of the scummier things I've ever seen.
It's a Mr. Rogers parody he did in the Tenderloin.
Medium shirt.
Yeah, I don't know.
It's this fuckboy dude in a cardigan.
They love the vacuum-packed clothes, like the vacuum-sealed clothing.
With his dog skipping through a place where, yeah, people are dying.
People are experiencing the worst poverty that anyone will ever experience.
And he's got a big smile on his face and he's skipping through.
Isn't this funny?
Isn't it funny how...
Awful this is for us having to see it.
I don't know.
It's like the clearest indication that you truly don't care about these, but that you're able to put a smile on your face and do this shtick is like, well, that should be supreme evidence of your sociopathy.
But then also, the implication here is that this is so hard for us to have to look at.
I wish that thing wasn't here.
I wish this thing wasn't here.
And this is like...
I don't know.
It's like...
It's such a good way to radicalize other people like you because you're just taking a camera and you're like, look at this gross thing that you think is beneath you.
I'm going to create a whole social media feed of disgust for you personally to further radicalize you.
Yeah, it's like, I shouldn't have to look at this.
Hey, look at this.
They're disgusting.
It's like openly saying I'd kill a person.
It's saying how little respect you have for humanity at all.
It's just a signal of just...
I don't know.
It bums me out.
It's such a shitty fucking thing to know the people that watch that and are like, we need to clean this scum up.
Don't worry.
He got swept from the streets himself.
Yeah.
But not for long enough, I don't think.
I think he might be released, but he's on probation already.
Ricky Wynn, Fox News darling and SF hater, lands in jail as a suspected pimp.
He has a Moloch tattoo on his chest, too, so he's deep state.
I was just looking at that.
I was like, oh, is that a barn owl?
Wow.
I think it is a barn owl.
Wow, they just put it right in front of your faces.
He is known for social media posts about homeless people and drug users.
Ricky Wynn, a drug dealer-turned-activist known for Fox News appearances and for trashing San Francisco online, was arrested and jailed Monday morning on suspicion of pimping and pandering.
Man, they're a motley crew of fucking people.
How do they get away with this?
Man, such terrible conspiracy theorists, terrible red pill, all that stuff.
Your people are disgusting.
You have drug dealer turned activists on Fox News and it's a normal thing.
Yeah, I mean, it's just like opportunists are going to do that from everywhere.
Opportunists as the viewer being like, oh, this guy seems sketchy as hell, but I'm going to support him because I like the people he's terrorizing.
Opportunities from this guy who seems like a fucking psychotic monster pretending to be like the arbiter of what's good and right in society so much so that he like ran to be on the board of the prison.
I don't know what it's called when you're a prisoner, but like outpatient, you know, like after policy.
Community corrections officers?
Well, like being on the board of deciding what the policy was for discharging people, how they were treated, what kind of programs.
Jesus Christ, like the parole board?
Yeah, not like in charge of letting people out, maybe, but like in shaping the rehabilitation programs and shit like that.
Like this guy wanted to be part of those decisions.
And if you look at his history, he was arrested for drug dealing and for pimping, I believe.
I have that in another article here.
But was given late sentencing because his lawyer argued that he would do better with reform, with mental health, and those sorts of things.
But that's, of course, one of the soft-on-crime policies that he is arguing against.
All these shitty videos.
He is a tough on crime guy.
He is a call the police, the police have been defunded kind of guy.
Which is funny because he is also on camera endorsing the mayor-elect of San Francisco.
So enjoy that one, San Franciscans.
Ricky Wynn likes your new mayor.
But let me read more from this article.
Wynn had nearly $80,000 in cash when he was arrested, according to police sources, with knowledge of the case.
Wynn, who has 105,000 followers on Instagram and was once seen at a We San Francisco event straddling a poodle for a group photo.
This is so fucking funny.
I was like, what the fuck is We San Francisco?
And it's capital W-E, so I don't even know what it stands for, San Francisco.
It appears to be just a political group made up of Instagram influencers that was created by a marketing executive.
Yeah, there's a group of a bunch of people in Shein and Loud Clothing standing in a very sterile office environment.
Pretending to have the time of their life.
Pretending to party.
They're throwing their hands in the air.
And Ricky Wynn here is in the center straddling a dog, like holding a dog up so that it's standing on its hind legs.
Yeah, this dog is not having a good time.
He's trying to ride the dog, which you already shouldn't do, but then he's making the dog stand on two legs while he tries to ride it, thus doubling the weight that the dog has to support.
My mom beat my ass when I did that to the dog.
This description was so funny.
Because I tried to look it up, and all you can find is their website.
And I'm like, okay, I don't want to go through a bunch of their PR. But I saw this article.
San Francisco political groups come and go, but a new click of concerned residents, red flag, who want to save the city, but also kind of want to mingle and party, are coming together to take a seat at the table.
And preferably, that table will have good lighting to make the evening insta-worthy.
Jesus Christ.
Barf.
Fucking banish them.
Banishment.
We, San Francisco, started popping up on social media feeds last month as it began hosting summertime events in the city.
The organization's members appear to be a clean-cut group of young professionals.
And a drug-dealing pimp.
Some of whom have sizable social media followings.
While the group's own Instagram account had fewer than 160 followers as of Monday, organizers said, yada, yada, yada, they want 8,000.
Quote, I like to create movements or to make things go viral, said Ben Kaplan, founder of We San Francisco and CEO of the multiple marketing and PR companies.
So yeah, I'm sure they have great things.
I'm sure their goals are probably lit.
They're probably...
On fleek, they're probably bussing.
Do you know?
It's probably good stuff.
But back to this article on Ricky Wynn.
Yeah, we San Francisco, Ben Kaplan, said Wynn's involvement with the group was minimal.
Just end the photo for your president.
He was just there for happy hour.
Is that what it said?
Yeah.
Wynn has been spotted cozying up to mayor-elect Daniel Lurie.
That's the guy who just won mayor in San Francisco.
I looked him up.
He is a, quote, Heir and philanthropist.
So those are his jobs.
Having money and sometimes donating that money.
Heavy is the head that wears the crown, right?
And he's like being billed as an outsider.
An heir?
Yeah.
You can just go by heir?
Yeah.
It's your job.
Is that like being like a duke?
No, he's an heir.
I mean, I don't know what privilege is.
I'm sure, yeah.
Like, what is he the heir to?
Is it like Heinz?
Yeah, he's duke of the Levi Strauss fortune.
Okay.
Yeah, that's a San Francisco original, right?
I'm a prince of the inventor of the little reflective turtles that you see on the road.
You know, the bumps.
Yeah, I got road turtle money.
What the fuck?
I think that should qualify you to be mayor of San Francisco.
Yeah, but no, I was like reading about him and he was like the neophyte politician, outsider mayor.
And it's like he's been a rich guy his whole life.
He's been doing nothing but politics.
Like it doesn't matter if he never ran for city council or whatever.
It's like that's all those guys do.
You're forgetting that if you have like never talked to a normal person in your life, that makes you an outsider.
Oh, wait.
You weren't lying.
He really is the heir of Levi Strauss.
Oh, shit.
I thought that was a good pull.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And just, you know, lived in a cabin by himself and was homeschooled.
How did he avoid not being affected by any of the rich guy stuff?
Oh, yeah.
Well, I just did strength of character.
Oh, well, that's all it takes.
I don't consider myself an heir.
That's big of you.
I let other people call me an heir.
I don't call myself that.
Back to Ricky Wynn.
Wynn's arrest sprang from an investigation that named him as a suspect in the sexual assault of a 15-year-old, according to a police report viewed by The Standard.
The report notes that Wynn was arrested at San Francisco International Airport as he returned from a sanctioned trip to Miami.
Wynn is on federal probation.
He was traveling with a 30-year-old woman.
Investigators believe he was pimping out for sex work.
They say all the shit they found, all the evidence they found that really does seem like he was doing obvious sex work, including extra cell phones with text messages about, hey, you want me to do some sex work to you?
It's $700.
Most of the sex work was carried out in the apartment.
Yeah, here it is.
The monthly rent for apartments similar to his two-bedroom unit is around $5,500.
Damn.
Jesus Christ, why would you ever live in San Francisco if you're not some tech reptile?
If you're not an heir to the Levi Strauss fortune?
Yeah, you could live a quiet life somewhere else.
That's too much of a struggle to get anywhere.
He has tweets about wanting, like begging...
Where is it here?
I want to help Daniel Lurie or Robert Kennedy Jr. to save San Francisco or make America healthy again.
God.
We can't...
Man, we need jail for guys like this.
We do need jail for guys like this.
Or like a work your way out of jail program.
Yeah, he just doesn't get a smartphone anymore.
Yeah, he can't affect any...
Yeah, he shouldn't be talking to people.
He shouldn't be affecting any sort of social media accounts.
Yeah, he needs to be just shut down.
You gotta go do just a normal person job on the Richard Scarry Island.
No cell phones.
You drive a pickle truck now.
That's all you do.
You drive a little pink tow truck and you work alongside a mouse.
So this is Ricky Wynn's origin story.
This is by that guy, Gil Duran, that I referenced earlier.
This is in the San Francisco Examiner.
Cocaine buffets and meth poop meet Twitter's rising anti-San Francisco influencers.
Do you remember meth poop?
Do you guys remember that?
No.
A woman went viral for saying, like, I love San Francisco, but what I can't stand is all the meth poop.
All the poop that people on meth will shit in the street.
Because that's a meme about San Francisco, if you don't know.
It's like public defecation.
And so that had been a meme for a while already, for like years.
And so they were getting bored with it, so they had to spice it up and say, now actually there's meth in the poop.
And when dogs eat the poop, they OD on the meth and have to go to the veterinarian.
And I heard this from a lady whose neighbor had a friend who was a veterinarian.
Oh my god.
And so this woman's name is Michelle Tandler.
Oh god.
She's like cohorts with this Ricky Wynn, or at least they work together on Twitter.
At first glance, Ricky Wynn and Michelle Tandler seem to have little in common.
Wynn is a heavily tattooed former drug dealer who prosecutors called a lifelong criminal after a 2019 bust.
Tandler is a self-described former venture capitalist with Ivy League degrees who grew up in a prominent local real estate family.
Yet both Wynn and Tandler have found a common purpose on Twitter where they play key roles in a thriving ecosystem of accounts dedicated to defaming San Francisco.
This is back in 2022. In March, Mayor London Breed drew criticism for dismissing negative stories about San Francisco as, quote, noise generated by right-wing media, but she wasn't totally wrong.
San Francisco is just, I don't want to harp on this because we kind of talk about it fairly frequently, but it's just such a good example of how neoliberalism fails and how limousine liberalism fails, whatever, Silicon Valley liberalism, whatever you want to call it.
Cash handouts to some of the most powerful people in the world, assuming it's going to be good for the people of that city or assuming it's going to be good for the people of even the fucking country.
And it just creates this insane wealth disparity.
It drives up all the fucking rates to live there.
And because the, you know, centrist liberal, you know, they don't they're not into redistributive wealth.
That's not what these people are into.
There's nothing they can do about it, you know.
And so now we all get to watch, quote, let the left fail in San Francisco.
It's time for sensible right wing or sensible centrist leadership to fix these problems.
It's how it's always going to happen.
Like, like liberalism is never going to be enough and it's always going to leave the door open for fascism.
Yeah.
But I mean, but also computer nerd guys used to be into like Star Trek type communism type shit.
And it's taken this really wild swing of like, if you make the right app, you can be, you know, king of the fucking world or something.
And the disparities of that situation literally happen in the streets there.
And there's no way for...
You know, there's no way for even the liberals in that city to say, we want to help these people.
We want to do something for these people.
They don't want to seem like weak or tenderhearted for some reason.
Like, they've backed themselves in the corner of do-nothingness.
This shit is so fucking frustrating to watch unfold because it's like the answer to the shit on the sidewalk is to make public bathrooms and pay people to clean them.
Yeah.
It's not fucking rocket science.
I'm just speaking from my lived experience.
We all suffer from non-existent public bathrooms.
Dude, I used to walk out of the shelter at night and I'd be riding my bike home at midnight and I'd open the back door into the alley and I'd have to be careful when I opened it because there are no public bathrooms in Seattle and sometimes the only place to shit is a little alcove and sometimes it was the little alcove that I had to Push the door open, too.
And so, like, I had to make sure that I wasn't gonna, like, smear a pile of shit into the alley and then roll my bike tires through it.
But I'm not blaming the person who shit there.
Like, we've all been there.
There's no fucking public bathrooms anywhere.
Well, it's also, like...
There's probably a pretty good chance what you're talking about is dog shit.
I don't think I've ever seen...
I work in the streets in First Hill, and 99% of what I've seen has been dog shit.
In my mind, that's the shit-related problem when it comes to public health.
I'll tell you what, man.
Speed and heroin, all that shit, it binds you up.
You're not shitting all over the streets.
Hard drug users are not the ones laying logs out there.
For sure.
Not conducive to a healthy bowel movement at all.
And also, yeah, once again, if they had a fucking hotel room, they hang around the fucking hotel room, they shit in the hotel room, whatever it is.
Any sort of move towards decency.
That we could provide would save us all.
I've even argued till I'm blue in the face of the selfish response of like, if you help these people, then we don't have to look at this shit.
If we solve the problem, we don't have to ever contemplate it again.
Not like murder these people.
Spend...
Spend less money than it's going to take for the cops to beat them into submission or for the fines or the prison.
For any of that.
It's right there as the obvious answer.
Other places in the world have done it.
It's not new or groundbreaking.
They want to see homeless people further punished.
That's one of the crazy things to me just about the inhumanity of the right wing and seemingly a lot of people in this country who maybe don't think about it as much or only get subjected to the most awful stuff through concerted effort or whatever.
The hate for homeless people is just like...
I would never wish that on anybody.
You know what I mean?
That's a pain that I've luckily never known.
I can't imagine what it must be like to have to live on the street.
Even if you are a drug addict.
Imagine living with that fucking crazy drug addict.
You think a drug addict wakes up every day and, quote, decides to do drugs?
You've seen...
You see this stuff.
You see what it's like for drug users.
Do you think they're voluntarily choosing that?
I don't get the idea of thinking that there's something that could be worse for these people than what they already are experiencing.
If we help them, then we're saying it's okay to do that.
If we help them, we say you're allowed to...
You know, to do drugs in an alley all day long, you know, or whatever it is.
And, you know, it sucks because everybody has fucking relatives, you know?
Everybody knows somebody that has been committed or been to jail or has even lived in their car for a little bit, you know, or lived on people that, you know, maybe slept in a house but didn't have a home, you know?
Like, they were able to couch surf, you know, for a while.
Yeah, and...
You know, it's just that there is, you know, there's an amount of people in the world that require somebody to organize and help.
You know, like there are people that need our help.
That's what it is.
They don't need to be punched by the police.
They don't need to be in jail.
People make a lot more clearer decisions about their life when they're not worried about the fucking bills, when they're not trying to keep a job and also keep their reality together, their mental health together.
There are so many ways to solve this besides punish them until they die or figure out a way to be different.
Yeah, and liberal politicians are not interested in those solutions.
I'm not willing to actually push for those solutions.
You know, a few and far between some Democratic politicians are, but overwhelmingly, the liberals in this country do not believe in that.
Liberal voters have to reckon with the idea that their politicians do not believe housing is a human right or do not believe that medicine is a human right.
Like I know, probably the majority of self-described Democrats do believe.
And a lot of them have convinced themselves that, well, it's not popular because of procedure or because of this or whatever excuses their leaders have been giving them for these last decades, century.
It's not realistic in America.
Yeah, and I think that, I hope at least, more self-described Democrats get radicalized and realize...
You know, that there are fundamental ideological differences between you and the leadership of the Democratic Party.
And it's either time to exert your will to the best you can on that party if you want to continue to be a part of it or start doing other stuff and start, you know, doing stuff outside of it.
Yeah, I'm with you.
I mean, I'm frustrated.
I feel like there is.
An opportunity.
Just with the whole Bernie to Trump pipeline, there's so much of an opportunity for just to take a bold stance, and the answers are right there.
You know what to say what's popular.
It's obvious what people want to hear and what they respond to.
I guess maybe not, but for me, it's just the way that I see it is, yeah.
These would not be unpopular things if they were implemented.
People don't complain about money or free stuff, generally.
No, they'll accept whatever the Trump voters are asking for more stimulus checks.
Yeah, crazy.
I think when it becomes abstracted, when neither party is going to actually give people The things that their base wants, you know, like the loss of credibility among like progressive leaders or whatever, like it leaves an opening for them.
Well, we're going to discuss on the principles of these ideas.
We don't ever actually have to like contend with the politics because that stuff's not actually going to happen.
We could just talk about it in the abstract about principles.
But when somebody's handing you a check for like you said $1,200 or whatever, you're like sick.
One for me, that means none for fucking Google this week or whatever.
People are more than fine with that.
I agree with you on that.
Yeah, and I think that it would be a very cheap solution to just meet people's needs, meet these people's needs and get it over with.
Bite the bullet.
Not fun, you know, but it's the right thing to do.
Back to this article about the history of Ricky Wynn, this 2022 article.
Wynn started tweeting in May, but he has previous social media experience.
In 2019, police arrested him in Sanford.
Arrested him in San Francisco after he advertised a cocaine buffet on Snapchat.
Wow.
That's impressive.
Oh yeah, just wait.
They found a loaded gun, $6,000 in cash, more than 100 grams of cocaine in his apartment, as well as an underage juvenile girl.
Jesus, God.
The Mercury News reported that Wynn was under investigation for human and narcotics trafficking.
Quote, the prosecution sentencing memo says multiple females, including an underage juvenile girl, were also at the home.
So this was known about Ricky Wynn before he became a darling of, you know, whatever tough on crime, San Francisco neoliberalism.
Like, this stuff was available.
And, you know, this is, again, like, the opportunism thing.
It doesn't matter that he's this sick freak.
Like, we actually like that about him.
We like that he's a weirdo, not afraid to, like, mix it up with unsavory characters, because that's what we want to see, you know?
Yeah, and I mean, for a lot of them also, I mean, the underage juvenile girl thing is just biology, right?
That's just what guys want, you know?
That's why that shit doesn't faze, I think, the followers, the Trump people, the maggot people.
That doesn't faze them like that.
There's another reason, though, too, because Internet Explorer says lawfare going after Ricky.
Have you heard this term, lawfare, Brett?
No.
What's lawfare?
It's when people use the law, but for bad.
For war.
It's like warfare, but it's the law.
Lawfare.
It's when Rudy Giuliani gets arrested for being too hideous or whatever.
That's lawfare.
Oh, now I get it.
It's like whenever the justice system accidentally arrests a millionaire, that's lawfare.
Yeah, that was politically motivated.
Yeah, exactly.
I love that lawfare.
The classic pimping, drug dealing, the classic lawfare.
Not like he filled out a form incorrectly or whatever parked in a loading zone for 35 minutes instead of 30 or something.
No, they should have done a cocaine buffet and that was the lawfare doing that.
This is also the only time that those people actually admit that the law can be violent.
Oh yeah.
Hey, if it can go after Ricky, it can go after any one of us.
I liked this response.
Seneca Scott, who's got a verified blue check on Twitter and is like, I think, it looks like a San Francisco sort of personality, wannabe influencer type guy.
Seneca Scott.
Says this headline is sub-national inquirer level.
And that's the headline about how Fox News' favorite homeless hater has been arrested for pimping and prostitution or whatever.
Which was not really...
I didn't see...
I mean, I made up the hater part.
But the editorializing didn't seem that bad in the headline.
But he goes on, that being said, if it's true, then shame on him.
Not okay.
If it's true, what confirmation is he waiting for?
Why do you think they reported on it?
Can you don't says, there were minors involved in his earlier cases.
Somehow you managed to overlook that.
And Seneca Scott says, overlook what?
Never read about the guy.
Barely even heard of him.
And then somebody found screenshots where the guy says, Ricky is the man!
Dude.
Like, from May of last year, Seneca Scott says, Ricky is the man!
Just embarrassing.
I never heard it well.
I listen.
Man, that's not cool if he was a pimp and a drug dealer and homeless harasser and womanizer.
That's not cool.
I just read and rank headlines, okay?
I don't care about what's going on in them.
I don't care what they're about.
Oh, say what you will about his politics, but the man is a world-class grifter.
Am I right?
Yeah, you do have to admire that.
I mean, yeah, just keep it going.
Just keep the place in the air.
Just keep talking about how much you love America, how you want things to change.
Hope to God that, yeah, RFK sees your hashtag or something.
Hate Oatmeal replied to the San Francisco Standards reporting on Ricky Wynn says, The way he carried himself, it was obvious Ricky was from the streets.
Let's not pretend anyone thought he was an angel.
If anything, this is what gave Ricky a following.
It's like, we liked him for the exploitation.
I don't know.
He wasn't exactly hiding it, folks.
Like, we all saw how mean and nasty he was.
That's what we liked.
Yeah, he was kind of one of those underground sex trafficker drug dealer guys, you know, the type.
I just think he looked really cool in that suit when he was, like, being mean to that dog, you know?
Yeah, it was like, she looked like Jason Statham in that suit.
I just like a guy in a too-tight, shiny suit.
Yeah, vacuous clothes, super vacuum-packed clothes.
Ricky Wynn might not be the hero we need, but he's the hero we deserve.
Wait, I think I did that wrong.
He is the hero that San Francisco deserves.
So this guy was colonization poppy.
I was like, what the fuck is this guy's deal?
And so I'm going to read his tweet.
Oh, no, no, no, wait.
Where's his response to this?
Okay, colonization poppy says, oh, hell no, free bro.
So free Ricky.
And I was like, this guy's name is Colonization Poppy?
What the fuck is wrong with him?
And I went to his Twitter profile.
He's like a MAGA Mexican.
He's like a Mexican dude who's all in for MAGA. And he just seems like a weird guy in general.
Here he is retweeting Valentina Gomez.
Trump is going to make that woman from Mexico make him a sandwich.
Oh, shit.
Super funny.
Yeah, that's a good one.
Can you imagine a popular politician who is doing things for the people and overwhelmingly approved by the masses, but it's a woman?
Can you imagine that?
And, I mean, is he going to grab her hands and make her do it?
Or he's just a boss?
Is that what it is?
He's just such a boss.
He's like, I need a sandwich.
Yeah, he's such a boss.
He's going to do the flossing dance and she's going to blush like an anime character and make him a sandwich.
But then he also had this tweet and he says the N-word in the tweet and I think I should be able to read his N-word.
Because it's him?
Because it's racist when he does it, so it's okay for me to do it.
Because you're quoting a racist guy.
That's the only way I can say it is racistly.
So it's appropriate for me to say it.
Maybe I'll do a poll and let listeners...
Using it for the original intent.
Okay, but he says this...
I wish somebody could read this because it is kind of a funny...
This N-word Doug Ford is looking dumb as hell, kissing ass to Trump, acting like Mexico isn't the favorable partner between Canada and Mexico.
Quote, to compare us to Mexico is the most insulting thing I've ever heard.
Quote, my province, 500 billion.
So he's making fun of...
Yeah, Doug Ford taking issue with Trump comparing Mexico to Canada in his trade war.
You got to put tariffs.
I'll put tariffs on everybody.
I'll put tariffs on Canada and Mexico if they don't shape up.
And yeah, a bunch of people.
Well, Doug Ford was like, hey, we're better.
We're better than Mexico.
And it's like, first of all, no, you're not.
Like, what do you guys produce in more numbers than Mexico does?
Like, what do you guys do?
Come on.
Second of all, I think it's very funny for colonization, Poppy, to be like, hell yeah, Mexico's the more productive country, right?
Right fellow Trump supporters?
I was thinking the same thing, of like, being at a Trump rally and being like, Mexico's kind of got some shit going on too, right guys?
Yeah, dude, totally, man.
He put a fucking avocado in his display name to try and justify his existence to some of his mutuals, I think.
Remember, we're the place that has this thing?
They're cheaper at the border.
Yeah, weird guy.
Yeah, that sucks.
That's a bad look.
I liked this one.
Sass says, are you sure he, meaning Ricky Wynn, are you sure he is not part of the Fed operation?
Oh god, who isn't?
His story sounds very fishy.
No, it doesn't.
He just sounds like a shitbag.
He just sounds like an asshole.
He just sounds like a...
High-functioning, predatory asshole.
Yeah, not hard to believe that guy was doing a cocaine buffet with underage girls.
Totally looks like that.
I can judge that book by its cover.
Wow, Raw Ricky 221 with the Illuminati neck tattoo turned out to be a weird guy?
Something doesn't seem right about this.
And I think that's it.
Thank you so much for coming on the show.
Brett, we love you.
It's very nice to get to talk to you again.
Tell people about your stuff, about Relatively Unknown.
Well, I am dormant at the moment, but I am still posting on TikTok and Instagram and Blue Sky.
Relatively Unknown Co., all one word, CO at the end.
I'm thinking, am I going to read a Twitter?
I know you can't because you have to look at that shit.
But man, I feel like for some reason I'm like, I just really want to at least have my number go out on the board of how many users are on that website.
A lot of people are abandoning it.
Some people are like, ooh, that tweet was a little spicy.
I just lost 200 followers.
It's like, no, everybody's leaving.
Everybody's going.
It's a bummer.
It's not as fun as it was.
It's pretty awful.
I still have fun.
I still like it.
I'll never give it up.
You have a dark, dark hobby.
No, but there's still tons of, I don't know, my mutual friends on Twitter.
I know.
That's why I still have it.
My For You, the people I follow, my feed is actually really good.
But the For You tab keeps creeping in.
I keep clicking on Elon's.
Tweets or the Tuttle Twins tweets or whatever.
But I like that stuff too, you know?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Just also, but mixed in with some of the craziest old school racist cartoons I've ever seen.
Man, I don't need that anymore.
I've seen enough of that shit in my life, you know?
Yeah.
But thanks for having me.
Appreciate it.
I'm Brett Payne on Blue Sky, B-R-E-T-T-P-A-I-N and then Relatively Unknown Co.
on Instagram.
That's where I'm mostly at.
Or good old Facebook.
Find me on there.
Hell yeah, and listen to Relatively Unknown wherever you get podcasts.
