Andrew Chapados, aka "Beta Reticuli," mocks Alberta’s rural culture and political performativity—from venues canceling shows over a TikTok-deemed "racist" roast joke to Trudeau’s vaccine mandate fears and Zelensky’s Vogue photo ops amid Ukraine’s cashless chaos. He skewers Biden’s shifting rhetoric on Trump supporters, AI "Robo President" jokes, and Big Pharma’s profits while comparing Woodstock ’99’s profit-driven collapse to Ukraine’s aid-fueled spending. Noah Broder’s hostile call ends with a threat to "eat him alive" in Toronto, but Chapados’ unfiltered humor thrives on the absurdity of modern politics and media manipulation. [Automatically generated summary]
Welcome back to another extra special episode of Andrew Says.
Brendan from Danger Cats, how are you, good sir?
I am doing lovely.
You were the first interviewer to ever refer to me as Brendan.
Well, you see, it's when we put a graphic out, we could put, you know, Uncle Hack from Danger Cats, but maybe some of the boomers would be like, who is this young man?
I don't demand to know his first name.
So I can look him up in the phone book in the yellow pages, which we all.
He don't deserve my first name.
Okay, we'll scratch it from the record.
We'll go with Beta Reticuli, some sort of planet or something.
How are you doing?
You're out there in whereabouts in Alberta, are you?
Edmonton, Alberta.
Oh, I call that the Oshawa of Alberta.
It's a place where I grew up in Ontario.
I think we got hooked up from our good friend Key and Simone.
Did you guys do a show together or how did you guys get to find each other?
He came on our live stream, him and Sheila, actually.
That would have been right after all the Coots breakup.
And once he released, or he was in the midst of releasing some of his footage, we had him on our live stream that we were doing.
I heard that was wild.
I haven't seen it, but I hear Sheila was shocked and appalled.
Not actually, but I hear you guys really gave it to her.
Hey, we got to keep everybody on their toes, you know?
Nobody gets a free ride.
That's fair.
We'll have to put up a clip of that.
So I wanted to talk to you also about one of the things I talked to Keen about before he he linked me up with you was about some of your shows being canceled.
I was writing up and interviewing a guy named David Lucas, a friend of mine, a comedian from Texas about very familiar with him.
Yes, we were talking about the Dave Chappelle cancellation.
And then Danny Mullen's been canceled.
He recently told me he had a show canceled.
And then also bringing it back to Canada, Ben Bankus in Toronto was canceled.
So did you face similar stuff where they said your material was too racy?
Or did they give you an exact reason?
Want us to give us the whole story there?
Yeah, so we were promoting a roast battle here.
And there's a clip that I use that's a pretty, I don't know, I guess depends on who watches it.
They could perceive it as being very heinous.
But that's the nature of the game.
And yeah, then I released it online to promote the next roast battle.
And yeah, the TikTok mob got a hold of it and it was deemed racist, I guess.
And then we're attempting to cancel shows.
So did they reach out to you directly and say this joke is what caused us to not want to host you guys anymore?
The venues itself?
Yeah.
No, they not to me directly.
Well, there was kind of a middleman between the operation who kind of, if I'm being honest, was a bit of a coward about the whole scenario.
And then they went and released a statement on their Instagram and Facebook basically claiming that I'm a racist and they don't support this type of comedy.
And I will be canceling the shows.
Yeah, something I'm seeing a lot of is the indirect way of going about this.
I know for my pal Ben Bankus, they just emailed him the night before, having known about him for weeks, and they sort of leave it to the last minute.
And they say, oh, we'll have no problem booking you somewhere else.
Like, well, that's not your job, but also it's kind of like a slap in the face to wait till the last second.
So how many shows have you done up until this point with this, with this sort of material?
I know it's a roast battle and it's probably different every time, but was it only because you put something out online that people started to, you know, on TikTok that people started to complain about it?
Yes.
It wasn't, it was, you know, people that come to the shows, they know what we do and what we're about.
We don't pull no punches regardless of like who you are.
Everything's on the table, especially in roast battles.
You know, you see the watered-down versions on networks, and to us, that isn't roast battles.
So we, since I've like connected with like Brett Forte and Sam Walker, we have then took it upon ourselves to like go the extra step with roast battles.
And some comedians are terrified of it and some aren't.
And those that aren't are welcome to, you know, test their skills on our stages.
But yeah, I would say it, oh, shit.
Speak of the devil, it is actually Sam Walker.
My bad.
Yeah, that particular roast joke then grabbed the attention of some people and they took it upon themselves to try and call venues that they weren't even going to attend anyways.
It's not even in their area from what I've seen online of what people were posting and how many times they were calling and harassing venues to try and get them to submit in canceling shows.
So unfortunately, two out of the three shows that we had booked at that time Ben pulled out of, you know, our us going down there and performing.
So it is what it is.
It's wild that people will do that.
And I, in the Canadian mainstream comedy scene, as little as it is of a TV scene, we'll call it, that they had that Amazon Prime Canada show that seemed like it was very PC with Tom Green and all these other guys.
There isn't much of that going on, I feel like.
So for comedy venues in Canada to be now saying to people, you know, we're not going to host this stuff because some people find it offensive, I think it's a huge detriment to something that already needs, you know, new life breathed into it.
There's this, there was obviously closures for almost two years.
Justin Trudeau's talking about closing stuff again.
We'll get to that in a bit, I feel like.
But there's so much desire for people to go out again and to laugh again because it's all so sad.
I don't think any club should be doing this sort of thing because in Canada, it's very hard to, you know, to get a spotlight shone on you unless you're on CBC, let's say, or unless you're on this Amazon Prime show, which has like the same 10 people everybody's been watching for 20 years anyways.
Colin Mockery.
Oh, he's never been on TV before.
Let's give it to him again.
And the 600-pound lady.
But I don't see how, yeah.
She's very funny.
I don't see how this is good.
Fat ladies?
Pardon me?
You don't like fat ladies?
Listen, man, I love everyone.
Everybody who knows me knows I'm all I'm pro-obesity.
I'm pro-everything.
What the hell is Rebel News turning into?
What is this place, right?
So I don't think it's good for anybody to be canceling shows like that.
Now, I wanted to ask you, I was familiar with your channel.
I think when it first started blowing up, there was the video about all the accents in Canada, which has a ton of views.
Was it always a political channel?
Or did this start happening because of lockdowns and because of convoys?
Were you always a political guy?
You know what?
The political aspect of the channel always stemmed from me working in the oil patch.
And, you know, and I just thought what those guys were saying in the lunchroom and, you know, just on site was funny to me.
So that's the type of humor I've always been around.
And it was, I don't know, I just like real people that just like say it how they think it.
You know, they don't have to put all these fancy, fluffy words in front of the thoughts that they have stored in their head.
And that to me is just like how I grew up.
I grew up in small town Alberta.
That's how we talk to one another.
And that shit is funny to me.
And it'll never stop being funny to me.
So I just decided one day, like I was always looking for some sort of content like that on the internet.
And I didn't know where to go.
So I was like, ah, fuck it.
I'll create it myself.
And then the political aspect is just kind of probably, you know, a little bit of upbringing, work life, and just, I guess, how the rural part of Canada carries itself.
So it was kind of fun to just talk freely like that.
And I guess in return, I then received a lot of love from dudes that wish they could say that shit, you know, they could just go out online and be like, you're saying exactly how I would say it, but I can't because, you know, I'll lose my job and I can't because then the income is lost.
I'll lose my home, my wife and kids, and all this.
So it was just, I don't know, the political aspect kind of came from that and just trying to find the humor in it.
A lot of it seems like some lot of hockey culture injected in there.
I don't think I should be afraid to say.
Is that where a lot of the guys you hear from are coming from?
Because hockey and the NHL, and I'm sure the juniors as we know it now is so sensitive to any sort of controversy.
I mean, we see it with Hockey Canada.
I'm not fully aware of that story.
I won't comment on it.
Whatever is happening there, but you had the racism accusations with players recently.
And I feel like hockey is really under attack lately, at least in the last couple of years, with what they're doing ever since Black Lives Matter.
And they had this show on CBC where it's like dedicated to diversity, even though they never hired any extra, you know, black guys on it.
It was a very confusing time for me to watch hockey where Ron McClain's sitting there and he's talking to me about white privilege and how he just didn't understand how much white privilege he had.
It's so confusing.
So are a lot of the guys who reach out to you, like sort of like your regular hockey guys that you're referring to?
You know, when I was putting out like that, that see, I played the game differently.
So it kind of, I don't know, my shit was kind of geared toward the guys that were kind of tough, like just mentally tough, you know?
Words aren't going to hurt them.
They were beating the shit out of each other anyways.
So if you think that calling me a f ⁇ is going to hurt my feelings, it's not.
Oh, am I not supposed to?
Sorry, I'm starting to think somebody else will decide that.
My bad.
But I don't know.
I just like, I can't get behind the whole words.
Words hurt when you're already playing a tough sport.
And I get it.
You know, some people may have had a rougher crack at it than other people.
But at the end of the day, you know, we hear all this.
It's such a fucking shaky water to put your boat into to talk about it.
And I'm not really afraid of it because it doesn't matter if you're black, white, brown, whatever race, religion that you are.
If you're on my team, you're on my team.
You know, so I think that aspect gets missed so much because there's, I've played hockey with, you know, people of all ethnicities and religions, and that seems to go out the window the moment that all of us touch the ice together.
And I think that has, because you got all these fucking losers, reporters that never played the game, trying to comment on the game and the culture inside the dressing room.
And they're trying to make big deals out of something they don't understand.
It'd be like me trying to talk to you about what it's like growing up in the Bronx, you know?
It doesn't make any sense.
And there were suspensions for people saying like swear words on the ice.
I remember that from a couple of years ago.
And yeah, I remember playing on teams when a guy I didn't like, I would say probably hated, was on my team, but he's on your team.
So I'm still going to defend him against another team, no matter if I liked him or not.
Shout out to what was his name?
I'll just say Matt.
I didn't like you, but I digress.
Would you call yourself a conservative being out there in Alberta or do you, or did you used to and things got muddied now?
Do you have a label for yourself at all politically?
Danger cat.
Because I wanted to ask how you feel about this Alberta government.
How I feel like, and as you know, there's plenty of people at our company from Alberta, and they've always held Alberta as, you know, this bastion of freedom.
We're the Texas of Canada.
And then lockdowns came and Jason Kenney was like, I've never heard of a vaccine passport.
And then he puts one in, and then the couch thing happens and everything.
So did you used to call yourself something along the lines?
Do you do you change it all?
How do you have faith in a strong conservative Albertan government?
No, I don't.
I don't align myself with people that don't care about me.
I don't champion some political party that, you know, it seems it's rinse repeats, it's copy and paste with every single one of those suit dummies that go down to the, you know, that are in the House of Commons down in parliament.
It does not matter to me.
It's the working class versus them.
And that's how I view it.
And right now we're being played against one another with this idea that one of these losers is going to rise from the ashes and save us all.
It's never going to fucking happen.
It never has and it never will.
Real people do real shit and those dip shits just sit around.
Mr. Speaker, native politics is the most fucking embarrassing form of politics.
Mr. Speaker, you can't even speak directly to a man.
Mr. Speaker, can you tell him to answer the question?
It's just cuckery in there all day long.
That's all it is.
It's embarrassing.
I live some of my saddest moments looking at Canadian political Twitter, whether it's Aaron O'Toole or Michelle Rempel Garner is one who really gets to me.
Are you familiar with her?
A little bit.
Canadian Political Embarrassment00:12:12
She's the one that's too much white maleness in the Conservative Party.
And then recently she said how people only want to talk to her about sexism and racism, even though that's the thing she always mentions.
But now it's too much to actually ask her about her.
Why don't people ask me about the economy and stuff?
Because this is what you complained about for three years.
I'm sorry.
No, but I know exactly what you mean.
Pardon?
It's because you're a woman.
And then when Nairn O'Cool is talking about biphobia, this is the stuff I can't get behind.
It's like some aspects of Canadian politics are so cringy.
And on top of that, overall boring.
But I completely get what you're saying.
They don't show up for the House of Commons most of the time.
That's the problem.
Like they have actual jobs and an office they're supposed to go to, and they pretty much never go unless it's to get a YouTube clip.
That's my problem with a lot of them these days is you can tell that they're there to get that CPAC YouTube clip probably cut by producer Efron back here.
Pierre's big on that one.
They're fucking influencers now.
If you watch what they're doing, they're 100% influencers.
They go into this with like the mindset of like a 22-year-old in LA that thinks that they're going to get brand deals.
Everything is the exact same.
It's hilarious.
It's so funny to sit and watch.
To me personally, anyways.
Well, yeah, you can see when they go there and they're all, the seats are actually full, you know that they're there for a reason to cut a clip, to cut a quick promo.
Have you ever done any like field reporting from like protests or anything?
I would love to see you do that.
A little bit.
We went down to Coots.
Brett and Sam did their own video and then I had to go clean up because those guys went down to do stand-up and they weren't allowed.
So thankfully the kind fellows down there had a flatbed truck there.
So I got the job done instead of those two idiots.
We need to get you a special field reporter from some violent protest from Antifa or something.
I'd love to see your conversations with those.
I strongly encourage that.
Do you think restrictions are coming back?
What's your whole prediction on this?
Personally, they're really setting it up for it.
So would I be surprised?
No.
But do I, is there like a little bit of hope that the general public will see through all this horse shit and see it for what it is finally?
I would hope.
You know, I'm tired of this chain just being loosened just a little bit.
So like, it's like watching a dog have a steak just out of paw reach, you know?
And it's like, oh, it's almost there.
We almost have it all.
And then it's like, oh, we're going to reel you back in because your guys are getting a little crazy out there.
You're starting to sound like SC TV sketches or something.
Living, do we have that Trudeau clip from earlier?
And this is what I came prepared with, my one note.
Trudeau basically threatening restrictions again.
Let's play this.
And everyone should get out and get vaccinated.
If we are able to hit that 80, 85, 90% of Canadians up to date in their vaccinations, we'll have a much better winter with much less need for the kinds of restrictions and rules that were so problematic for everyone over the past years.
But every step of the way, government's responsibility is to keep people safe, to prevent our healthcare systems from getting overwhelmed.
And that's where individuals choosing to make sure they're up to date in their vaccinations with these new vaccines is going to help us all.
Of course, it's up to date.
It's never going to be enough.
Of course, the systems were never overwhelmed.
But doesn't he talk like it's not up to him?
And it's completely, well, if you guys don't do it, I'm going to try the best I can.
But, you know, they're going to make me do it.
You know what this sounds like?
It sounds like politicians are a little scared.
Go outside these days.
And the only way we can roam the earth is by keeping people inside their house.
That's what it sounds like to me.
Terrifying.
I didn't hear him the first time second.
His him?
Yeah.
No, it'll be fine.
Okay.
She thinks the audio dipped out for a second.
This is Chobiz, baby.
The show's got to go on.
Canadian show business.
Canadian show business.
Now throwing to Colin Mockery for five minutes.
We should get him on.
I wish he would, but he won't.
I'm sure he won't.
But if we could just pull a lever.
I don't know if you remember when Conan O'Brien had a Walker Texas Ranger lever back in the day.
Those were the days of comedy.
That's what I aspire to.
Yeah, it sounds like to me that they don't want to go and face any criticism.
The thing with Christia Freeland recently, where I don't even know about this guy that yelled at her.
Apparently, he's done the same stuff to Pierre as well.
But the fact that we need like some sort of national inquiry into a politician being yelled at at a distance in a building, that's just the state of Canadian politics, I think.
No?
Probably.
Who knows?
Those guys live in their own little idea that right there should tell you the overall general feel of where we are with these fucking maniacs running around doing whatever they want.
Rules for thee, but not for me.
Bullshit.
People are sick of it.
You know, it's time.
That right there, that guy is one of the few that did what a lot of people wish they could, but they're terrified to do.
You know?
And now he's a public enemy of this enemy of the state, starring Will Smith.
I've heard rumblings that there's going to be another election called.
Do you think Trudeau wins again?
I think he just wins again, no matter how it happens, whether it's through questionable means or like the East Coast and rural Ontario.
Sadly, the North votes NDP usually.
Whether they carry him, I just think he wins again somehow.
You think so?
I just think he never stops winning.
I don't know how.
Like, how did he win last time?
How did he win the time before?
What more can be done that hasn't already been done, which would make people change their votes from Trudeau to somebody else?
That's my question.
I think, like, I think that's just like a little bit of a reflection on the faith in politicians now.
You know, like, I can't look at any one of those dipshits that are currently leaders of every party and be like, yep, that's my guy.
You know, like, I can't look.
Other than Maxine Bernier, that when he got arrested on the side of the highway, now, whether that's like wrestling KFAB bullshit and he's just doing that to get a rise, that made me laugh.
And I was like, okay, I'll vote for that guy because that's hilarious.
Well, that's one of the arguments is that he will pull votes, continuously pull votes away from the Conservative Party.
And you need about like 34% to win in this country.
So if the Conservatives are already at 31, 32%, and he continues to pull more away from them, then I don't see anybody who's going to go from, you know, liberal to NDP.
Maybe they should.
Maybe they should just go both extremes and either become communist or like very right-wing.
I don't know what the answer is anymore.
But I think you'll see more people trying to leave.
But having said that, a lot of people are complaining about passport wait times being longer and longer.
So maybe the goal is that nobody's allowed to leave, no matter how bad it gets.
I think that's what communist countries do, if I'm not mistaken, is the old you can't leave move.
Ah, yeah.
What if what if Big Trudy comes out, right?
And he goes full North Korea on us.
Wouldn't that be fun?
It would be interesting to watch.
See, you need a certain level of compliance.
And I think if we would go more China, and this is a theory I have, if China is actually just a gigantic country full of social justice warriors, and stay with me here.
If you take what like a far leftist is now, like a person who's offended by everything, they want the government to take care of them.
The natural extension, I think, to that is eventually you get to a point where they elect people who think exactly like that.
And they are okay with all these things happening.
That's what I feel like probably happened in China with the Maoism.
They had the book.
They said you can't question the leader.
The teachers are racist.
The farmers are racist.
Give us their land and we'll do it.
I see a version of North America or England and Australia where it's not so much a hardcore communist, but it's a social justice warrior's mentality who's taken over where it's like, well, we put anybody who doesn't agree with the rainbow stuff.
You're going to work here to build a government house so that everybody has fair and equal housing.
And we'll raise the minimum wage to $30 so that no one could possibly be underpaid and everything will be fair and equal.
And I think a lot of it was in the original Green New Deal.
I don't know if you read that, the AOC one backed by Bernie Sanders.
That's what they were basically purporting to do.
They said that they were going to replace all oil jobs with government jobs to build houses and retrofit everything with new electrical grids.
They said that you would know more gas cars and that everybody would be able to buy an affordable electric government car.
And no matter what, they would also give all the people working in oil-related jobs five years of salary because they would eliminate their jobs.
And then they would, and everybody would live happily ever after.
Everybody would have an, there would be free health care there, of course, which isn't cheap.
And this is basically what their plan was.
So if those people got into power, I could see one of these situations where everybody's so happy, but actually everybody's pretty much enslaved.
So is that North Korea?
Maybe.
And seen.
Well.
In scene.
Yeah, you painted a lovely picture there.
So what you're telling me is I'm going to have a duplex and a Tesla and be happy?
That's right.
But it'll be the worst Tesla, and you'll share that duplex with three generations of your family.
And just like North Korea, they will come and collect your fertilizer and use it.
Have you heard that stuff about North Korea?
Very minimal.
They actually, according to the woman who escaped, who made the rounds on all the podcasts, Yon Mi Park, she said they would come, the government would come and collect your waste, your feces, to then farm with because they had no fertilizer to go around.
So literally everything down to your feces is not yours.
It's the states there.
And just a wonderful time.
But wouldn't it be funny if she was completely lying?
It was actually this great place.
Greatest thing of all time.
Yeah, I don't know how that place operates still without any intervention.
I know that they survive on Chinese coal and Russians buy slave labor off of them.
That's basically their economy, as I understand it.
Genius economics, if you ask me.
If only we could run our own country.
Disneyland And The Azov Battalion00:05:04
What's your take on Ukraine?
I just saw last week a, I guess I'll call it an infromercial from the Ukrainian vice president or whatever he's calling himself, where they envisioned a Ukraine where it's a cashless society.
Crimes are judged by AI.
All this wonderful stuff.
They said that every group of buildings would have its own missile defense system, a perfect society somehow.
Are you impartial to the Ukraine story?
Do you think it's all corrupt, Russia bad?
What's your side on this?
Do you have a take?
You know, I think it's very lovely that President Zelensky can find time to do a photo shoot with Vogue magazine to still keep the American entertainment industry, you know, very, very pleased with his efforts.
It's wonderful, you know, and it's brilliant that I think it was Jimmy Fallon or whatever one of those fucking cuck late night television hosts was able to bring one of the Azov battalion folks to Disneyland.
That's very great.
That's what we need more of happening.
Did that actually happen?
He brought like what some soldiers over?
There's a Ukrainian soldier that was wearing like an Azov battalion.
Please find that, Olivia.
I have to see this.
Because every time, I think it was two weeks ago on Zelensky's official Instagram, he posted another soldier like with some message and he had a Luftwaffe logo on, which is a Nazi Air Force, I believe.
And they had to delete it because this all this somehow keeps happening that we keep promoting guys with these symbols.
Let's go with Azov.
Was it Disney World or Disneyland?
I'm guessing.
Yeah, whatever one of those late-night TV hosts brought and they covered up his like, he has tattoos on his elbow.
I couldn't quite see what it was, but you can go with whatever you feel on that one.
They covered those up and they brought him over for a nice day trip at Disney World or Disneyland.
It's quite hilarious.
It's Jon Stewart, I'm being told.
There it is.
Yeah, Jon Stewart.
Let's throw that up, Olivia.
Jon Stewart honors Azov Battalion, Pentagon-funded.
That's lovely, isn't it?
Enlarge that a little bit, please.
Comedian Jon Stewart honored a member of the notorious and 14 hours ago, is that what that says?
And what website is this on?
Okay, yeah, let's double check and get a second source after this.
Yeah.
I've never heard of World Socialist.
Because that was obviously.
Yeah.
Okay, sure.
Let's just go.
Let's just go with something and then we'll parse through it and see.
We're both talented media members who can parse through lies.
Yeah, so honor Ukrainian Nazi at Disney World.
Defense Department-sponsored Warrior Games featured liberal comedian Jon Stewart awarding a member of Ukraine's Azov Battalion at Disney World.
The Pentagon refused to tell the Gray Zone whether U.S. taxpayers funded the foreign competitors travel during the Department of Defense annual Warrior Games at Disney World in Orlando, Florida.
This August, Liberal comedian Jon Stewart awarded a Ukrainian military member heart of the team.
Can you zoom in on that a little bit?
So he was an injured guy.
Did they share?
Okay, so he had the sun in red and the black sun.
Scroll down.
Okay, well, then the article doesn't really matter.
He has the black sun on his elbow.
That's isn't that lovely?
Isn't that Jones?
Yeah, it's nice for a Jewish comedian Jon Stewart to maybe, I'm assuming he just doesn't know.
He was just trying to be a nice guy.
We'll give him the benefit of the doubt, given that he tries to work with the 9-11 victims all the time.
But the Pentagon-funded Azov battalion trip to Disney World is just, you know, that could be a sketch, I think.
Oh, Walt Disney right now is smiling down upon the thinking this is just exactly what I built this nice facility for is to have Nazis come through.
I was thinking earlier today about kid-friendly Klaus Schwab, like a mouse schwab.
Come on, kids, take the vaccine, kids.
Come on.
Let's go to Disney World.
It's my working, making mouse impressions stolen from South Park.
Did you see that Biden speech recently, last week?
The one where he looks like a fucking dark lord?
Yeah.
It would have been sick if he came out in like black metal face paint, like Norwegian black metal face paint.
That would be cool.
Threat To Democracy00:06:18
Going beyond just the usual empire garb.
Yeah.
He could have come out with some Imperial soldiers.
I don't think anybody would have minded.
But the thing that got me about that, that was, I think, an hour of just saying that Trump supporters are.
He said they don't believe in democracy.
They're tearing down democracy.
They're a danger to the country.
And then the very next day, can we find this, Olivia?
The next day where the guy from Fox asks him if he thinks, put in Biden, Trump supporters, threat.
And then he completely reverses what he said.
He spent an hour the night before saying how evil these people were.
And then he's just like, oh, I don't think any of them are threatened.
Yeah, that's the one.
Let's play that.
Trump supporters to be a threat to the country.
No, everyone.
Come on.
Come on, look, guys.
You may not make that case.
I don't consider any Trump supporters ever a threat to the country.
I do think anyone who calls for the use of violence fails a contempt of violence when you refuse to acknowledge when an election has been won and insists upon changing the way in which the rules vote.
That is a threat to democracy.
Democracy.
And everything we stand for, everything we stand for rests on the platform of democracy.
When people voted for Donald Trump and supported Alice, they weren't voting for attacking the Capitol.
They weren't voting for overruling an election.
They were voting for the philosophy he put forward.
So I am not talking about anything other than it is inappropriate.
And it's not only happening here, but other parts of the world, where there's a failure to recognize and condemn violence whenever it's used for political purposes.
Failure to condemn the attempt to manipulate electoral outcomes.
Failure to acknowledge when elections were won or lost.
He didn't even walk it back as far as I thought he had originally.
He's like, well, they're not a threat.
They're just a threat to democracy.
He's the gift that just keeps on giving.
Of course, people probably forget that when Trump won in 2016, they did deny the results after saying that Trump would be the one to deny them.
Then Hillary Clinton demanded a recount.
Actually, sorry, it was the Green Party.
Jill Stein demanded a recount.
And then the Clinton Party jumped in on that.
They raised $7 million and then pulled out the recount because they saw that they were losing votes.
So that's interesting.
You look like a guy who loves Biden.
Huge Biden supporter.
Just a huge Biden guy.
Only because he reminds me of my grandfather.
He just doesn't want to believe that the internet exists and just says wild shit whenever he feels like.
And be like, grandpa, you can't say that.
You can't just say the N-word in a Mac store anymore.
It's not the fucking 60s.
I didn't say that.
It's like it's viral on TikTok.
Kids were fucking recording you.
They fucked with him after that.
Even I was watching the feed from the Washington Post, and the guy goes, This was not the president's best speech.
They were trying to light it up red, white, and blue.
All that came on TV was red.
He was very angry.
Not a good look for the president.
Back to you.
And then the woman was just like, well, you know, he's right about the threat to democracy and all the stuff they usually say.
I think that when 2024 rolls around, it's not going to matter if he wins or not because they'll have milked so much money out of everything already that there's nothing else to do.
There's no saving it.
I hope that's not going to happen.
I hate to be so doom and gloom.
But when you look at the, again, the money to Ukraine they're sending.
And then today, I think he's talking about how they, or yesterday, they beat Pharma.
They beat Big Pharma this year.
I mean, you made them record profits.
And what he's referring to now is the fact that in 2026, they'll be able to negotiate prices on certain drugs with Big Pharma through Medicare and Medicaid.
So if you elect him again, they will defeat Big Pharma maybe by getting the prices of some drugs lowered.
So it's very interesting the angle where that comes from.
Beautiful.
It's beautiful, isn't it?
You know, an old dementia man was able to take down a super force like Big Pharma in America.
Only after making them trillions of dollars.
It's a good thing.
Maybe they can make him some bionic legs so he can finally get into Air Force One without taking a ride down those steps four times.
Those exoskeletons.
I watched Future Weapons.
And then they have those robot dogs.
He'll be riding one of those soon enough.
How long until it's a robo president?
I think one of the Fallout video games had that writer.
Dave's always telling me about it.
Robo President.
His AI is some mix of like Obama and somebody else, JFK or something.
And then the vice president, Kamal Harris, I think is what it's going to be.
Second, like a human being?
Yeah, the robot.
The law will be the vice president has to be human.
They need at least one human in the office.
This is highbrow.
We're having a highbrow political conversation.
Yeah, deep into the future.
Coming up.
AI technology takes over.
I can see that article coming.
Sorry, what's that?
So I can see the Canada Land or anti-hate network article coming.
Danger cuts and rebel news spouts off about racist robot future.
Oh, please tell them I need the press.
Yeah, I believe that article you put out from Global News.
I thought that was a real article.
I typed it in.
And we'll just say that it's real right now.
Jesse Ventura's World00:10:20
Who said I did?
Pardon?
Who said I did it?
I don't know that you did it.
It was posted.
I apologize.
It was probably anti-hate network.
They probably wrote it up to frame you, put some poor global news writers' name on it.
Stolen countrywide by post-media.
It's brilliant.
See, the climate right now is perfect for all this.
There's a lot of comedians that are terrified of that type of rhetoric coming back upon them.
But little do they know it's some of like the best marketing you could possibly have, you know?
Anytime, like people, it seems like anything that is mainstream, whether it be media or even just like culture, I guess.
As soon as it becomes like main, it's like when almost what would be like a fucking good example.
You remember when like Nirvana got like too big and then Kurt Cobain was like, this is gay.
I don't like this.
I'm not playing smells like Teen Spirit again.
Yeah.
And it's like, no, we're not selling $80 tickets.
We're sending, we're selling $10 tickets.
We were a fucking grunge band in Seattle, for fuck's sakes.
But it's like that.
Anything that like, oh, you can't like this.
People just tend to love it even more because it's like, ah, you know, like Sam Walker always says, there's no folk heroes anymore.
So when people like rise up and give a fuck you, it's like, oh, I like this guy.
He's saying exactly what I want to say, but I can't.
That reminds me, have you seen that Woodstock 99 documentary?
Speaking of.
I love Woodstock 99.
That was so wild.
It's basically Ukraine.
There's a bunch of people making a lot of money and they don't really care what happens as long as the money keeps coming in.
Screw the people there.
$10 waters.
And I like the angle in that where they said Limbiscuit had a duty to calm the crowd down and they riled them up.
How dare we like you expected these bands to be like conformative?
And then they admit that they didn't actually listen to most of the bands that they hired.
It was a wild documentary for anybody who hasn't seen it.
Oh man, it's like there's so many moments in there that they didn't cover that are awesome.
First off, like the one that they did when that moron got up there and he'd be like, everybody, calm down.
It's like your uncle yelling at you and your buddy's having a good time in the backyard.
You're like, go fuck yourself, you old drunk.
Get the fuck out of here.
They wanted it to be like that.
They wanted it to be hippie stuff.
And they're like, why isn't everybody cleaning up after each other?
And why is everybody so upset?
It's only 110 degrees out here and we've given them no water.
It's brought to you by Coca-Cola.
What could go wrong?
Yeah.
Like when that old hippie woman was trying to get them to clean up everything and they're like, fuck you.
I paid $250 to be here, you old bag.
Kiss my taint.
Yeah, there was some stuff that wasn't in there that I had seen in another documentary where they were trying to go in and put something out that was on fire and then they got chased away and crowd members stole like their golf carts and started driving them around.
So they realized they couldn't go anywhere, dress as security.
And then security was another thing.
It was just people who paid to take like a day's worth itinerary or something and they got a yellow shirt and they called that security.
And some guy said he was selling his shirts because they gave him a bunch of them so that they could get backstage.
Sucks for the artist, frankly, to just have random people backstage with you.
I want to meet Fred Durst.
That's who I would be going for.
Hell yeah.
The funniest part of that whole concert, man, that gets skirted by by so many people is during DMX performance when he performs my N-word to a crowd of 270,000 white kids.
And instead of him saying it, he points the mic to the fucking crowd and gets these white kids to sling that back to him.
Man.
It's a different time.
A pre-9-11 world, as they say.
It was like Dogman X, he's the great, man.
He's the GOAT.
He is GOAT status after doing that.
That was like the biggest that should have solved racism right there.
Oh, be like, listen, like, this is a four-time platinum recording artist.
He's killed it.
He put out what did he in one year, he put out two platinum records, studio records.
You know, you don't hear that.
And here, this guy just gets fucking 270,000 kids to take the sting off the word.
He's like, yeah, call me it.
I don't give a fuck.
I'm rich.
I'm performing to you fucking buffoons.
Say it.
There was a show that followed around DMX.
This was, I want to say, like 2010 or something.
A show that followed around DMX before he had to turn himself in for whatever crime he committed.
I don't remember.
It was max fraud.
Was it?
I was almost going to say something, but I didn't want to get it wrong.
But they followed him around.
And the night before, one of the nights before he was to turn himself in, he got high and went into a 7-Eleven and made scrambled eggs at 3 in the morning inside the 7-Eleven.
Like he just gets eggs and cream and milk and whisks them and puts it in a microwave all inside a 7-Eleven and then comes home and refuses to go to court for a few hours, refused to turn himself in until they finally convince him.
We got a show here about how good of a guy you are.
You better go.
A different time, you know.
Oh, that's why he's the GOAT, man.
Rough Rider Athem.
And then the movies.
I don't know how we got to this.
This is far stretched from news.
The movies, Cradle to the Grave, I think he's in or the exit wounds.
I don't remember anymore.
What's the one with Jet Lee?
That was the Exit Wounds.
That was a great film.
They're all Segal movies.
Is producer Olivia?
Are you looking up DMX movies?
See, this is why she's the best producer.
Let's see what we got.
I know we got Cradle to the Grave.
Belly was a great movie.
That's still on my Netflix list.
I haven't seen that one because that's Nas in DMX.
Yeah.
Haven't seen that one.
Beyond the Law.
Everything is three words with Segal.
Today You Die.
Cradle to the Great.
Oh, that's four.
We got a number in there.
Have you seen any of those putting out now?
No, I haven't seen anything of him since probably when they were playing them all on Spike, like his newer ones when Spike TV was still a thing.
His self-produced movies are fucking self-producing now.
Yeah, he's self-producing his own movies and he's like typical Segal movies, right?
But he's just this fat ass that's taking on like a lone fat ass is about to take out ISIS.
It's fucking awful.
I did see a video of where a guy went to go visit him and like train with him.
He lives in, or he was living in Abu Dhabi in this video, and this is not that old.
Some guy goes and gets some like a kido advice from him and a front kick advice.
Like, this is the one I taught Anderson Silva.
See, it's more like a spear.
It's not a real kick.
You're just using it as a spear.
And the guy's pretending to take him seriously.
Like, oh, yes, Sensei Steven.
And he, of course, he's got his black belt on.
He's 350 pounds.
But he's staying at a nice hotel in Abu Dhabi.
So he must be doing something right.
Probably that RT money with who am I thinking of?
Jesse Ventura.
Are you a Jesse Ventura guy?
Oh, I definitely tune in whenever he decides to go.
I was a Navy SEAL.
Why won't you let me in?
His old show?
Well, Pierce, it seems to me that nobody wants to talk about the third building that went down on 9-11.
But you can read all about it in my new book, The Third Building That Went Down on 9/11.
He's trying to get into like top secret facilities.
I was a former governor, I was a Navy SEAL.
Why won't you let me in?
I don't understand.
Oh, and a lot of people forget that I was also the World Wrestling Federation heavyweight champion of the world.
And I'm the only wrestler that Vince doesn't own my character, which helped me gain the governor of Minnesota's position.
And I changed that whole state around in under three years now.
I understand.
I love his pierce with his tassels on his jacket.
Yeah, he's got like a fucking Vietnam veteran hat on every single time.
Just letting you know that I am a Vietnam veteran.
Did you see the clip of him and Jim Norton where he almost like punches Jim Norton in the skull?
No, he does like Jim and Sam or whenever maybe it was Opi and Anthony.
Yeah, one of those like old shock jock radios.
And he goes, You're not going to respect a veteran in the presence.
Like Jim Norton knows he has him on the rope.
So he's like, I'm going to keep pressing this guy to fucking snap.
Oh man, the coveted Jesse Ventura oppression.
There's you and there's Will Sasso now.
All right.
Oh, we have to.
Me and my girlfriend used to like watch like two hours of him before going to bed at night, and she would piss herself.
Well, his not very privy to like all the political nonsense until she started dating me.
And then I started corrupting her mind with all like the fucked up shit.
So showing her sci-fi shows of Jesse Ventura.
All 32 episodes available in 360p.
Jim Norton's Rope Trick00:01:54
Why can't I go in here?
We're going to search underneath the Denver airport and find out what's going on here.
Isn't it strange that they have it in the shape of a cue?
Okay, we have to end this now, I'm afraid.
That was great.
Thank you for coming on.
Oh, man.
I'm going to post this whole segment.
It's going to be great.
Danger cats on YouTube.
Don't forget to follow Uncle Hack on Instagram as well.
Do you have any shows coming up?
Can we throw to anything?
Yeah, we have September 11th doing the danger room at the Comedy Cave in Calgary, Alberta.
And then we're doing a little bit of a BC tour.
I don't know the specific dates for each, but it's September 29th to October 1st.
We'll be in like the Okanagan region of British Columbia.
And then we're slowly piecing together like a tour to head out east.
We'll be in like Winnipeg, Brandon, Ottawa, and I believe Toronto at some point.
And then heading further east.
And then October 7th, I lay this bad boy right here on the line.
All right, code a promo and then we'll let you go.
Listen, Noah Broder, I am going to eat you alive in the flesh.
And I'm not talking on the microphone, you cuck.
My pen is sharp, my tongue is sharper.
Bend over because I'm going to eat your ass like a raw steak, you pussy.
Roast battle champion.
All right, who knows if that's going to make it in, but we'll get it to you.
