Time Text
What's so scary about the woke mob?
How often you just don't see them coming.
Anywhere you see diversity, equity, and inclusion, you see Marxism and you see woke principles being pushed.
Wokeness is a virus more dangerous than any pandemic hands down.
The woke monster is here and it's coming for everything.
Instead of go-go boots, the seductress Green M&M will now wear sneakers.
Hello, and welcome to Where There's Woke.
I believe this is officially the last episode of the year.
Oh man.
See you next year.
Yeah.
What a great year.
What an amazing year of wokeness.
No, I mean, in all seriousness, this was the first year of the show and we've barely gotten our feet wet.
There's so much to do.
I'm really excited for today's show.
First off.
I'm Thomas, this is Lydia.
How are you doing?
Hi.
Let's get to it.
Anything new?
Yeah, anything to ask?
How are you doing?
How was your day?
Our little Remy's turned one.
Yeah, we celebrated his birthday today.
That was so sweet.
Sweet little guy.
And yeah, just getting ready for 2024.
The kids have said it's 2024.
I guess they've been talking about it at school a lot lately in a very like formal way.
It takes, you know, Totally apropos of the show Where There's Woke, it takes a while to get your kid to understand what a year is.
Not only what a year is, but you say 2023, they're like, what the hell?
They don't even know what you're talking about.
Just random numbers.
And then it's like, yeah, we number the years.
And then I think Phoebe's almost getting it now.
But if I still ask her like, well, what year were you born?
She's like, I like, she was like a robot.
Her brain just fries.
Yeah.
Yeah.
No, so it's, it's going well over here.
Well, we've established all the niceties, everybody.
We didn't ask the audience how they're doing, but I- Write in, let us know.
Fuck them.
No, I'm just kidding.
You're so mean.
We took polar opposites.
I'm really sorry.
I was like, tell me everything.
What's been going on with your life, everybody?
Everyone, please don't.
You'll take up too much of my wife's time.
She will respond thoughtfully to each one of you.
No, I forget whose idea this is, but it's the show's idea.
It's a great one.
A few of the usual suspects that we cover did the woke awards, the worst of the woke of the 2023.
And so I was thinking like, well, we should do the where there's woke best of the worst of the woke award.
We'll be like the award show for the award shows.
And we're going to pick out some of our favorite awards for worst woke or best woke.
I don't know.
It's a, it's a mixture.
Honestly, it's not very consistent because we're trying to interface between different themes and stuff, but let it suffice to say, this is the best of the worst of the woke awards 2023.
And the nominees are.
Well, straight out of New Tolerance Campaign, which is an organization that's existed for like two years.
Do we know?
Have we come across them before?
Do we know them?
No, this is the first time.
And so this is an organization that was started by this guy named Gregory Angelo, and he is a gay Republican.
Of course.
Yeah.
Wrote an op-ed, I think back in, like, Washington Post a while back, basically saying, like, I am responsible for companies going woke and I regret it.
And it is so dumb.
Like, you are one guy, one gay Republican.
I have never heard of you.
Who was active in college.
Exactly.
I don't even know who you are.
I'm responsible.
He worked for the press team under Trump, and he's had these other positions in government.
Okay, now I want to read this.
What the fuck is his thesis statement?
Well, okay, so it's coming from the efforts that he made as a gay man to petition companies, lobby companies, to care about So, okay, but I guess the question I'm wondering is, like, is he saying in his private capacity before he became a conservative, like, I was part of the woke mob, something?
Or is he saying he held some actual job that was like, you know, I was the media consultant for Big Woke and I taught them how to woke or something, you know?
No, I don't think it was as a private citizen.
Like he's always been a Republican from what I can tell, even when he was in college and stuff.
And he's also always been gay.
So I guess through his organization, I'm thinking maybe it's like the Log Cabin Republicans or whatever that he was affiliated with through college.
I think it was through that that he was lobbying companies and They were trying to push to incorporate sexual orientation to be one of the protected classes, more explicitly.
And because he was involved in that at all, at all, like people also wrote to their senators and they're not claiming that they're responsible for encouraging legislation that made companies woke.
But yeah, he has decided that he has played a critical part in that and that his friends all tell him that he played a critical part in that.
You know, so that's great.
Sure, big guy.
All right.
Yeah.
But now you regret it or something?
Is it that kind of thing?
Now he regrets it, of course.
Darn.
Well, then you better undo all the nothing you did.
Yeah.
So he started this organization called the New Tolerance Campaign.
Oh, that sounds lovely.
And he is featured on, gosh, a variety of things.
You know, Bill Maher talks about this campaign the last couple of years.
Thefire.org talks about them.
They partner together sometimes.
Basically, all of our friends here on Where There's Woke, he has been rubbing elbows with them and doing mighty fine.
So their annual list, I guess this is their third year, second year.
I'm issuing this list, but it is now annual.
It is a tradition for them.
It's an American tradition as well.
Yeah, the worst of the worst.
We all sit around the television waiting for whatever the fuck this guy's website is.
Yeah, yep.
And they just released this very recently.
I mean, this has barely even cracked the media circuit.
You know, there's been some print stuff about it.
So we don't have time to run the, like, for your consideration for the worst.
Where there's woke and then do like a little sizzle reel of us being woke.
Damn.
Well, next year.
Yeah.
But I think even Fox News last year had him on to talk about this stuff.
They haven't even had that segment yet.
So I'm wondering if we're scooping them, you know, and maybe it'll come out tomorrow.
So why don't we talk about some of his top contenders?
And here we go.
OK.
The first one is, of course, Bud Light.
Oh, wow.
You're going this early with the Bud Light?
It's the first one on their list, Bud Light.
Come on, man.
This guy already sucks.
I know almost nothing about him.
You gotta lead up to it.
Yeah, what are you talking about?
That's gotta be your drum roll.
Bud Light, baby.
Okay, what's his version of what happened?
All right, he says the reason.
For decades, Bud Light had bragging rights as America's best-selling beer.
Until April, when an ill-advised marketing campaign with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney went viral for all the wrong reasons, Bud Light's core customer base felt abandoned.
Hold on, hold on.
I actually agree with him on that one sentence.
It did go viral for all the wrong reasons.
For all the wrong reasons.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Bud Light's core customer base felt abandoned, and in turn, they abandoned the brand.
Abandoned.
A sustained boycott led to sales falling a whopping 17 percent.
Then after Anheuser-Busch executives expressed remorse for the promotion, the Human Rights Campaign, an LGBTQ lobbying organization, stripped the company of its 100 percent rating as the best place to work for LGBTQ plus equality.
Anheuser-Busch's attempt at virtue signaling made them everyone's enemy.
Will the brand ever recover?
That's how he ends it.
I mean, this thing is kind of nuts, because on one hand, a lot of this is like, okay, they're doing a bullshit, like this, we've covered so much of this, a lot of times they're trying to claim like, oh, that Marvel, new Marvel movie, that flop, I'll probably be on your list, but that flop because of the wokeness, and it's like, nah, it probably just sucked, you know?
Like it probably, because also Barbie was super duper woke, and that was the most successful movie of the year, I believe.
So they do a lot of- Many years.
Yeah.
They do a lot of that.
It's like a psychic where you only count the wins and you don't count the losses.
But when it comes to Bud Light, they legitimately went fucking insane on Bud Light.
And I actually do think they cost Bud Light quite a bit of money, right?
The part, obviously, that's bullshit is all of the controversy, but the part where Anheuser-Busch actually did suffer pretty rough economic consequences because of it, from what I've heard from reputable sources, that's actually true.
Did you check on that?
Yeah, so I was looking at the stock trends for Anheuser-Busch, and they did have a drop for sure in terms of, you know, price per share.
And I think where the discrepancy is, is this idea that they'll never recover, right?
Well, yeah, of course, obviously.
That's just stupid.
They've already recovered.
It's weird to be like, they had a 17% drop from which they will net, really?
Well, what's the 83% doing then?
It's interesting because, you know, in April, so April 2023, what I'm showing, I'm just on Market Watch, I'm showing each share was at $66.39 in April 2023.
And then the drop, you don't see that until June.
Well, yeah, you can't use share price.
Share price is a tough one to do.
Yeah.
So the people who own shares of Bud Light, those aren't fucking kid rock listeners who are like, yeah, let's whatever.
So it's like the idiots are seeing that, by the way, we haven't ever said it on the show.
I don't think it is not time for a deep dive on this.
But if you had just woken up from a from a whatever, from a coma and you saw this story, you'd be like, OK, so what?
Here's what Bud Light did.
They ran a Super Bowl commercial with a trans person, fully, like, as much endorsement of trans people as possible.
Like, you could possibly imagine, and like, Bud Light, the trans beer!
Yeah, like the opposite end of the Kardashian, or Jenner, I guess, right?
Kendall Jenner and the Pepsi, right?
And like, how that was, like, ridiculed, and people were like, what were you thinking, Pepsi?
Like, you would just think, oh man, they must have been like, Cis people go fucking die.
Cause trans people only drink Bud Light.
Go fuck yourself, America.
And that's what, but really all it was, if you haven't heard by now, was they sent her like one six pack of custom beer to do one Instagram video.
Instagram!
That's just like, hey, Bud Light promotion.
They're actually fucking let's play it.
Why not?
Hi!
Impressive carrying skills, right?
I got some Bud Lights for us.
So, I kept hearing about this thing called March Madness, and I thought we were all just having a hectic month, but it turns out it has something to do with sports.
This is how I know trans women are women, by the way.
Just saying.
Exactly which sport.
But, either way, it's a cause to celebrate.
This month I celebrated my Day 365 of womanhood and Bud Light sent me possibly the best gift ever, a can with my face on it.
Check out my Instagram story to see how you can enjoy March Madness with Bud Light and maybe win some money too.
Love ya!
Cheers!
Go team!
Whatever team you love, I love too.
That's the entire fucking thing.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
Okay.
Bye.
That'd be funny.
I don't know if she had like a time limit.
She had a hit to do to get her 60 grand or whatever.
And it's, it's nice.
Whoever did that at Bud, at Anheuser-Busch, I don't know who the fucking was in charge of that.
I imagine you have with a giant corporation like that, you got marketing people who are different generation than the fucking boomers probably running everything.
I actually found like one of the marketing people.
Man, and so did Fox News and stuff, and so they decide that someone found pictures of her in college and posted her drinking and stuff at frat parties because she said that Bud Light had a fratty reputation.
And then they're like, well, you seem pretty fratty.
I'm sorry, I can't even follow.
What's the logic of this?
It's just insane.
It was just a person, like head of marketing that said.
So did they, did she, is it a woman?
A woman.
Okay.
Did she justify this decision by saying, let's stop, let's get rid of this or let's combat this frat image of Bud Light?
Yeah, yeah.
She was saying- And then the gotcha was, oh yeah, idiot?
If there's such a frat beer, then why were you pictured drinking it in a frat parlor?
And not even drinking Bud Light.
She was drinking other beer.
What does that mean?
I don't know.
It's so dumb.
And then like- At this point- They're just doing word association, I'm sorry.
They're not even doing, it's, oh my god.
And someone like scouring this person's social media to find pictures of her drinking liquor from condoms or whatever.
It's so irrelevant.
Yeah, it doesn't matter.
Well, if you're such a person, then why do I hate whatever this is?
Like, that's all, there's nothing.
There's nothing there.
It's a contentless argument.
Therefore, Bud Light.
Yeah, it's nothing.
Anyway, it's the equivalent now of just like drawing a mustache on someone's picture.
That's all.
Yeah.
That's nothing.
Anyway, so this video, it's heartbreaking in retrospect to hear, because it's sweet.
You know, whatever this was was a sweet thing.
Oh, I know, it's so cute.
Bud Light is still dog shit I've never drank in a thousand years.
But like, I'll admit that I was 0.001% closer to drinking it from seeing that.
So, like, as a business decision, it's actually a good one.
Separate the fucking hell that obviously happened.
But doing something like this where 99 times out of 100, the fucking Kid Rock listeners aren't going to see the video because they're not following Dylan Mulvaney's fucking Instagram, which is an advantage of today's media market.
You can be like, all right, I'm going to target this to trans people.
And then probably they're also targeting ads toward, like, white supremacist fucking gun nuts, too.
And we don't follow their, you know, instance.
And so that's it.
That's all it fucking was.
And so I started this by saying you can't look at the share price, most likely.
I mean, that might be an indication, but that's going to be more how people are predicting the company's going to long term handle this.
That's not necessarily like you'd have to look at their financials to see, oh, the sales slumped in this quarter or whatever kind of thing.
I hear you.
I guess the reason why I like looked at that is, you know, I'm not a business major.
You know, I didn't study that or anything.
So that's part of the reason.
But then there was also a video I watched of like someone who used to work there who was like, I don't know how they're going to come back.
It's a ghost town.
I went in there, it's just skeletons.
And he was like, it's going to be a long road ahead.
And I was like, no, I was like, what are you talking about?
Because it's it's cited as the top beer company to invest in if you're going to invest in beer companies like for 2024.
So, yeah, it's just nonsense.
That's for sure.
Yeah, no, it's definitely not overplayed.
But I was just shocked at like, I just mean it in the sense of how dedicated a lot of these people are, like they're dedicated, true believers, that there's enough of these fucking insane people in our country to make stuff like this happen.
So it's scary.
That's the only reason I say that is that, like, it is scary what they can do to a brand like Bud fucking Light.
Yeah.
Like it's, it's crazy.
I mean, I guess on the other hand, the fact that so many of these assholes drank this beer means they were more able to make a dent, you know?
Like if it was a product none of them used anyway, they can boycott it all they want.
So that's probably part of it.
But yeah, I am seeing numbers that the revenue fell 13%, 70%.
You know, that's, that's not nothing.
Like if you were managing, you know, and 13% is millions, if not, it might not be billions, but that's, that's a lot of money.
But I was also seeing statistics saying that people were also just drinking beer less often in 2023, like across the board.
I don't know.
I just I think that there's probably a lot of things coming in play.
And it's not just this one particular TikTok.
And it's obviously very overblown.
Maybe.
I don't know.
I wouldn't I wouldn't surprise me either way.
They were really dedicated to this fucking thing.
Yeah.
None more dedicated.
Our first little video, which is Kid Rock, and he's on our friend Tucker Carlson's new show.
This is just a couple weeks ago.
Oh my God.
Confession time.
I don't know if I'm safe admitting this, given that this is what I ostensibly do for a living.
I haven't watched an episode of Tucker's new show yet, like at all.
Yeah, I can't blame you.
It's terrible.
I wish we could hold hands, because this is going to be hard to get through.
Okay, here we go.
There was a point in which Kid Rock went from being a musician... Yeah, the sound quality sucks.
...to an icon to a one-man movement.
And that's... And a friend of ours!
What the fuck is that?
And that was when we want to sit down once again with him... He's crazy!
...and check in on how he's doing changing America.
This man is insane!
Great to see ya.
Great to see you.
This is insane.
I can't even... I remember doing my text right before bed... Can everyone watch this with us?
...and I read that Bud Light has decided to go to s***.
What the f- Oh my god.
Okay, content now.
I might believe that.
12 hours later, you released the video of you executing the Bud Light with the carbine.
Fuck Bud Light and fuck Anheuser-Busch.
Have a terrific day.
And then, months later, Bud Light effectively apologizes, doesn't go out of business, closes two bottling plants, but it is terrible for the guys who work there, but then comes back and hands the UFC $100 million basically to say, we're sorry, we will get better.
That seems like a win to me.
I think it could be.
I think they got some work still to get, you know, some of that base that they lost, I think, to get them back.
Like, you know, I've said a few times I'd love to see them get triple fratty.
Yeah.
Hit it head on, kind of make light of the situation, self-deprecation, you know, but...
Um, you know, at the end of the day, when you step back and look at it, like, yeah, they deserved a black eye and they got one.
They made a mistake.
How did you know?
You moved so fast on that.
I mean, a lot of things going on.
It was like a lot of people just pissed me off.
I was, and I kept, you know, I keep a lot of beer on the property.
A lot of light beer.
Bud Light was one of them.
And, uh, I was like, I know who my consumers are.
So I was just doing a little marketing to my folks.
It was spot on for me, but also a fun excuse to get my machine gun out and have some fun, but also to make a statement like, hey, a lot of us aren't cool with this.
You know, I believe a lot of people fought and died for people's right to be whoever they want.
But when you're that type of brand, you know who your consumers are.
But not that.
It all just kind of started, I think, when I thought about it.
So they moved part of their corporate offices from St.
Louis to New York City.
Then they started hiring these Ivy League progressive, you know, people to work for them who don't know shit about working-class people or middle America in this country.
Unhappy women, yeah.
And so somebody wasn't watching the hen house, they're riding high and mighty as number one and a fox gets in.
Yes, it was a mistake.
So, do I want to hold their head underwater and drown them because they made a mistake?
No, I think they got the message.
Like, hopefully other companies get it too.
But, you know, at the end of the day, I don't think the punishment that they've been getting at this point fits the crime.
It's like, I would like to see people Get us back on board and become bigger because that's the America I want to live in.
Well, it's better to improve than destroy.
So that seems like a win.
We were talking to the camera and you said, what would that say about us as like-minded people?
Yeah.
Who were like, hey, cut it out.
What's the matter with you?
that, you know, if we brought him back up.
Kid Rock is actually the voice of reason in this conversation.
It's not wrong with giving a spanking, you know, the kid does something wrong.
Cool.
Maybe he's going to harm themselves.
Until that point, right?
But you'll spank him for the rest of their life.
You kind of, you know, someone who keeps talking to the rest of the world No, you don't spank him any of the time.
We made a mistake.
Yeah.
All right, man, let's move on.
I mean, we've done it for a whole lot worse.
What about Japan, Germany?
Drop two atom bombs on Japan, then you rebuild it.
Then you become allies.
Can't say it enough.
You know, who's getting hurt?
All this boycotts and stuff when people make mistakes.
This cancel culture.
Crap.
It's the working class people who don't have any dog in the fight.
What the fuck?
We don't want to hurt these people.
I can't.
Yeah.
Message sent.
All right, let's move on.
Here's the bag of ice.
Am I on acid right now?
Let's talk about it.
Oh, I just had a weird dream that Kid Rock was talking to Tucker Carlson over a table that looks like a T-bone steak.
Did you see Tucker's face?
There were times where I was like, is it frozen?
Like, is the video frozen?
He couldn't move his face for half of it.
Oh, that's classic Tucker.
So here's what's weird.
So everybody, if you haven't seen this, we're used to the classic Tucker Carlson, stupid, resting, idiot face.
But that's like a head-on camera shot.
I forget the technical terms for these.
Now we've got a different kind of Environment because he's doing this himself, or he hired people obviously, but he's shooting this in a different environment.
Yeah, it's indie.
So we're now getting like a more, weirdly a more intimate view of how that's working.
So we see him, we're at a kind of a side angle of these two gentlemen, and we're seeing his face.
It's almost, It's almost more shocking.
It's eerie.
Yeah.
Cause like somehow the, even though the other one was head on, you would think like, oh, that's pretty in your face.
Like, no, this one's like, it's like his brain stops or something.
I think he's using so much brain power to try to follow like what's happening at all times that he's just like, wow.
Are you okay, buddy?
Man.
Well, that was amazing.
And so next, we have to do another big hitter.
Oh, already?
Yeah, we're not going to have much time.
I know.
It's all right.
It's been a good year for a while.
You know, there's too many.
I wish we could give the award to everybody.
I wish we could.
You know, a lot of great nominees.
Tough field.
Target.
Oh, Target.
Well, this could be any number of things, right?
Yeah.
So this is actually specifically related to Pride Month.
You know, we talked about We're On Christmas regarding Target and their inclusivity of nutcrackers and Santas, but this is kind of calling back to what happened in June for Pride Month and the backlash there.
I have a little video to send you of this.
This is going to... Please don't be Tucker Carlson.
Please don't be Tucker Carlson.
It's new Tucker Carlson.
It's going to be Jesse Watters.
Okay.
Jesse Watters is worse, I think.
It's not as fun.
Oh, we heard this reference, right?
is worse, I think.
It's not as fun.
- And do women want men shopping in the women's clothing department?
Well, someone should tell Target that because they're now selling swimsuits with tuckums in the women's section of the store.
- Oh, we heard this reference, right? - And they even have a line just for kids.
- Oh yeah, sure. - We're at Target right now and there's a lot of controversy going on about all of the pride stuff that's coming out with kids' clothes.
Okay, this is the child section.
This is literally the kids' section.
I'm next to a literal onesie that says whatever the hell that means.
It doesn't say, let me tuck my penis in.
I'm so happy that you're queer in the kids' section.
Are you kidding me?
I'm sorry, but... Well, it'd be kind of weird to put a kids' book called I'm So Happy You're Queer in the what, the adult section?
Yeah, yeah.
I'm looking for a new read.
Let me grab, oh, can I, do I have it on Audible?
I think it probably should be in the kids section.
Also, like, kids aren't just zero years old to five years old.
You know, you have kids, they're 14 years old.
You know, there's, kids is a wide ranging age.
In the kids section.
Are you kidding me?
I'm sorry, but pride and toddler don't belong in the same sentence.
Tuck friendly construction.
They're giving it to your kids.
Oh, and it gets worse.
Target hired a Satanist to put together their pride line.
So if you go on the page, what you see are things like, Satan loves you and respects who you are.
He's a symbol of passion, pride, and liberty.
Oh, and Satan respects pronouns.
So if you want little Johnny wearing a Satan Respects Pronouns shirt over his Tuckum swimsuit, check out your local Target.
Showing a picture of someone who is clearly not a child.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's a full-grown person there.
Yeah, an adult.
Target will do these collaborations with various designers.
That is very, very normal for Target.
They'll do kind of like little collections with different designers.
This happens to be one of those designers that they were partnering with, but they've clued in on the fact that they're a Satanist, apparently, and Pride Month and rainbows.
Oh, so this is, because, okay, this is the second time we've seen this referenced, right?
Yeah.
Oh, wait, is this the same one where the guy was like, they hired gay Cruella DeVille or something?
Remember that?
Oh yeah, yeah.
That was Jesse Waters.
Is this the same person they're talking about or no?
I think it's a different person.
Oh, okay.
Cause that sounded like they, they keep saying they hired like, oh, is this the new head of fucking marketing?
No, from my recollection, the Satanist that they're talking about is a designer that had a particular collection and they had to like move the merchandise off the shelves because of backlash.
Oh wow.
Yeah.
There you go.
Cancel culture.
That's cancel culture for you.
You know, the, uh, they get mad and they say, don't shop there.
And then it's canceled.
What, what do you think you're doing idiots?
If not cancel culture, I, that was what was so funny about the Kid Rock one.
Somehow I think Kid Rock is a little sharper than Tucker.
Cause Kid Rock detected.
He was like, wait a minute.
We don't, ah, we also hate cancel culture.
Yeah.
We have to figure out how to walk this line.
Damn.
I just did a video where I literally shot a product trying to cancel it.
Like that's pretty, okay.
How do I, how do I undo that?
Oh, it was just the abuse that we do to kids.
It was that same level of abuse, you know, that same kind of thing.
But yeah, they're just doing cancel culture.
You got them to take a product off the shelves.
How is that any fucking different from anything that they rail against when it goes the other way?
It's just ridiculous.
Yeah, and there were some reports of Target employees saying that after this backlash with Pride Month, they had, you know, a very, very short window of time where their managers were like, hey, we're making our Pride footprint smaller, and you have, you know, two hours before the store opens to make it happen kind of thing, where they had to move all the Pride stuff to a different section and reduce what was available.
And, you know, we also saw Scott LeBao, do you remember that?
Our pizza coverage and he was the Target guy that walked in and the Target employee was like, sir, sir.
Can I speak to Mr. Target?
Yeah, he's just like trying to talk to nobody.
Yeah, man, that really made them mad.
My God.
Well, and they're all just fucking hounding for their viral moment on Fox News.
That's all this is.
That's all they're doing all the time.
You could tell they know they're going to be on Fox News or they believe they are when they're making these fucking stupid things.
OK, here's what we got to do.
We got to make a fake one of those.
Ooh.
I want to, yeah, maybe we find a way to like fake a controversy, get on Fox News, and then be like, I made this up, you fucking idiots, like on the air.
That would be really, really good.
Okay, but we have to like create an alter ego.
Yeah, I know.
I don't really want to.
If they get into my socials, it's gonna be so weird.
We have to like sneak in like a gay sex toy, something, you know, like something really extreme, be like, this was in the kids section, and then See if they pick it up, you know?
Yeah, yeah.
Okay.
Man, I'm so worried about things like that.
I actually almost want to do something like that, but then it's like, ah, but am I contributing to the problem?
You know, I don't know.
Yeah.
But then if you get an interview and then you're like, fuck you, I'm a double middle finger, you know, like I made this up, you're an idiot.
Does that help?
But yeah, anyway.
Who knows?
Maybe we'll find out next year when we do this.
Yeah.
The next one I wanted to talk about from this list, and then we'll probably do one more after this from our friends at New Tolerance Campaign, is country music television, which is generally associated, you know, with this group of folks.
But there was a big kerfuffle, I would say, when Jason Aldean released Try that in a small town.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, this was big.
And country music television pulled the music video off the air because people rightfully were like, hey, this sounds like this is a pro lynching song.
Yeah.
This makes us very uncomfortable.
And CMT said, you know, this is an area we don't really want to wade in, so we're going to just err on the side of caution and pull it.
You know, I don't even know if they actually believed it, but they decided to pull it because it wasn't good business.
And that just fueled the fire behind folks listening to this stuff.
And it ended up becoming number one on the Billboard Hot 100 after it was pulled.
Yeah.
Because that's what they do.
It's a strong fucking market force.
It's crazy.
Yeah, yeah.
But you know, maybe it was that radio station in Kentucky.
I was just gonna say, yeah.
Did they play it on repeat for two hours?
Just played it on repeat.
The radio station's like, this is great.
We only have to buy one song a quarter.
And we just play that one song over and over to these fucking morons.
They're just being, you know, fiscally conservative at this point.
The last one that I want to call out is just a little nod to the baseball fans maybe that we have in the audience.
The Los Angeles Dodgers!
That's like the one little crossover I could get you on, right?
So this year, the Los Angeles Dodgers invited a group called the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence to receive their Community Hero Award.
And people were pissed because this is a group where it's folks that dress up like nuns in clown makeup.
And everyone said, you're mocking Christians.
You're mocking Christianity.
And L.A.
Dodgers, you're to blame with this, too.
And, you know, religion is not something to poke fun at.
Do they ever get really mad at whatever that fucking horror movie where the nun like?
No, I don't think so.
Nothing I've heard of.
Possessed by a demon and then like crawls backwards and kills.
I think they're cool with that because they're like, yeah, no, that's that's Christianity.
That tracks.
Yeah, no, that's part of it.
That's part of Catholicism.
That's fine.
But dressing up like a clown?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, and also it's men dressing up.
Oh, wow.
I guess a drag light in a way.
Drinking their drag lights.
Yeah, I agree.
Wearing their tuck friendly fucking habits.
So the Dodgers actually disinvited the group at first and then changed their mind and re-invited them a few days later and just tried to like make everybody happy and made everybody mad.
Yeah.
And there's a little bit of that in that same clip I sent you.
Jesse Waters talking about it starting around 119.
If you're a fan of the L.A.
Dodgers, get ready for some dingers because Dodgers are hosting a Pride Night.
Now, ball clubs have hosted Pride Nights before, but the one at Dodger Stadium is special.
Dudes dressed up as nuns.
Okay.
Get ready for some dingers.
So they're going to hit some home runs, I guess is what you're saying.
That doesn't.
Is that what a dinger is?
Yeah.
I didn't know that.
More like a good hit, I guess.
But what is, is he thinking like zingers?
What does he think?
Zingers.
Yeah.
Should he say like foul ball?
Like a swing and a miss?
Yeah.
Or something.
I don't know what it is.
I'm trying to figure out what it is.
It is like a swing and a miss.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Dinger.
Is there like another meaning of dinger?
You're asking the wrong person.
I've just Googled Webster's Dictionary defines Dinger as a home run.
Duh.
What a thing.
Oh, wait, hold on.
Dated.
So there's an older definition.
Is this the double meaning we're going for?
A thing outstanding of its kind.
No, that's still good.
Well, like a humdinger.
Yeah, like a humdinger.
So, okay.
I'm sorry.
I know it's a minor thing, but one of the other points of this stuff for me is how this movement has become so fucking nonsense that their best and brightest are idiots.
Like their best and brightest writers don't know what words are.
Hey, get ready for some dingers.
Oh, you're going to give me some game highlights where they hit some home runs?
Is that?
Oh, what?
No, that's a sentence that's meaningless.
Doesn't make any fucking sense.
OK, I'll move on.
Sorry.
Might be throwing out the first pitch.
These people call themselves the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence.
And what they're really all about is this drag queens mocking the Catholic Church.
We are 21st century nuns.
Okay, they're not dressed as nuns.
I want to tell you a little bit about what it takes to become a sister. - We use the term ministry very loosely.
- Okay, they're not dressed as nuts.
- No.
- Okay, one, now I see one of them is.
They didn't want cross-dressing nuns insulting their family's faith at the game.
gender issues, gender identity issues, and religious bigotry.
- Words kill! Words kill! Words kill! Words kill! Words kill! Words kill! - So some Dodgers fans aren't happy with the announcement.
They didn't want cross-dressing nuns insulting their family's faith at the game.
So the Dodgers pulled the invite.
But you don't uninvite the anti-Christian guys in drag unless you want to have the mob after you.
Don't you get it?
You're the problem.
The guys wearing wigs, ridiculing Sister Mary are welcomed anywhere.
No questions asked.
So the Dodgers caved.
Pride Night featuring a hate group's back on.
Okay, okay, okay.
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
I would apologize.
I need, I need... Okay.
The graphic they're putting on...
It's not like these people don't know sports!
That's what's incredible!
Or don't they?
Yeah, okay.
I'm actually not sure because every time they're talking about a sportsy thing, it's revealed that they're actually just... We watched Lady Ballers.
Yeah, you're right!
We did watch Lady Ballers on Godawful Movies.
I forgot.
Yeah, we should have said that.
They have way more listeners than we do.
I'm sure all our listeners already know.
But the graphic, it's one of the nuns, the sisters of whatever, swinging a bat.
And the words say, swing and a miss.
And they are very clearly hitting the ball.
What are they doing?
They're so dumb.
You're so bad at your job.
All you would have to do is move fucking, this is all Photoshop obviously, move it up above the bat or below, but the graphics in the way.
So like move it above.
So you're clearly missing the ball.
It says swing and a miss and you're hitting.
I'm sorry.
It's so bad.
Okay.
Let's play.
Let's play on that.
What the fuck are you talking about?
No, man.
customers are nice, but do you shatter?
That's all it ever is about.
If you shatter hard enough, you can be anything.
You can have your own satanic tuck 'em brand for kids at Target.
You can be on the mound for a major league baseball game for mocking Jesus.
- What the fuck are you talking about? - That's a hate crime. - I don't know, man.
They're in a like pre-game.
If I went to a Dodgers game, I wouldn't see this 'cause I would get there like when it starts.
It's not a big deal.
You're making it out like they now have the key to the city and they run the place.
You know, it's just stupid.
It's nothing.
It's nothing.
A couple little closing thoughts on New Tolerance campaign that I want to share just about some folks that are affiliated with them.
They have a board of advisors.
So we talked about the president, the founder or whatever of New Tolerance campaign, Gregory Angelo.
And some of the folks on the advisory board include... It's actually Lebowski in the movie where he's talking about like, oh yeah, you heard of the Seattle Seven?
That was me and six other guys.
Just some guy claiming other things that he isn't responsible for whatsoever.
Yeah.
So it includes an individual named Desh Amilla.
I don't know if you've heard of him.
He founded Think Incorporated, which is an organization that's partnered.
They actually like hosted Skepticon a while back.
Yeah, and he says the event company's first debut was a conference held in Melbourne, Australia featuring speakers such as Neil deGrasse Tyson, Michael Shermer, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, and Christopher Hitchens.
And then he did a documentary called Islam Future of Tolerance featuring Sam Harris and Majid Nawaz.
Yeah, yeah.
So this guy... Okay, so I am familiar with that person's work, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
And then he has another documentary that was featuring Steven Pinker and Noam Chomsky called Better Left Unsaid regarding political extremism.
So this is, you know, an individual who has, like, pretty significant credentials and is on this advisory board.
They share space with a host at OAN, Liz Wheeler.
Oh, wow.
Yeah.
So she is on the advisory board here.
Oh, so this is one of those things where they just are like, you ask your friends.
You ask your friends.
Yeah.
It's almost those fucking advisory board things.
They're almost like a book blurb.
Yeah.
We're like, can you blurb my bullshit organization?
And sometimes they can, they could pay them money too.
If they take donations, they could be like, Hey, I'll, I'll give you a fucking 10,000 a year or something to just be listed on my website as a board member.
Well, and especially like, you know, another board member is Tim Young, who is a Washington Times columnist.
And he also, I think, I think he hosts like a Sirius channel, Sirius XM channel.
And so what ends up happening is now Gregory Angelo has access to all of these media opportunities.
I will never forgive the Sirius XM people because every time I tell someone that my company is Sirius Pod, they're like, is it S-I-R-I-U-S?
Why would it be that?
Why would it be that?
A fake word?
No, it's just serious.
It's like the actual word.
Yeah, serious.
It's amazing.
They were so effective with that that like now people think it can't go the other way.
Yeah.
And then the other person I wanted to highlight from the board is Arielle Scarcella.
Her bio says that she is an LGBT, specifically says LGBT trailblazer, leaving out the Q plus.
Oh, yep, that's a hate crime.
That's very specific.
Yeah, it is very specific.
And she is actually, I'm surprised that she's leaving T in there because she's incredibly transphobic and very biphobic, actually, from what I've been seeing.
And she did a video a long time back.
So the person, they're just going to say LG.
Yeah, LG, exactly.
That's all that's accepted.
And she did a video a while back called What is a Woman, which then Matt Walsh kind of We co-opted and we got his film that we've never watched, actually.
Oh, I've watched it, yeah.
Oh, I haven't.
What are you talking about?
We did it for SIO, I think.
Oh, I never watched it, though.
So then I just listened to your episode.
Oh, really?
Oh, okay, yeah.
God, that fucking thing.
I'll count it.
I watched it.
I never have to see it again.
No, it's terrible.
And so, you know, this is the company of the folks involved in this.
Well, we'll keep an eye on them.
We're definitely going to keep an eye on them.
And then I wanted to just kind of close out this episode with the other end of it.
You know, we've talked a lot about the worst of the woke, and our friend Bill Maher is talking about, you know, who stood up against cancel culture.
And calls to be more woke, and they said no.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, this is the bravest.
This is the... The heroes.
The heroes.
This is the pinheads and patriots.
That was fucking, that was O'Reilly's bit.
Yeah, his old thing was pinheads and he did like one pinhead for the week and one patriot for the week.
God, we should find some of those old ones.
That'd be fun, yeah.
Ladies and gentlemen, you know the Emmys, you know the Grammys, you know the Tonys, now say hello to the Cajones!
Tonight, from Hollywood, the first annual Cajones Awards.
Have to look at a fucking ball sack trophy that they had made.
Here's your host, Bill Maher.
Have to look at a fucking ball sack trophy that they had made.
Yeah.
Thank you.
You're just a truck nuts guy now.
Thank you and welcome to the Cajones.
I'm your master of ceremonies, and if you're triggered by the word master, you're in the wrong room.
Shut the fuck up.
Tonight we present... A triggered limb!
That's all your joke is, that's it.
Oh, yay, balls.
You're truck nuts.
Individuals and organizations who others have tried to silence and who answered, that's not a rule, fuck you.
Not for nothing.
Balls are the most fragile little danglies.
I have to flick it and then you're like... Please don't.
I flinched when you said that.
They're the most sensitive little thingy.
They're not tough.
I know that men have them, so that's why this is the fucking macho thing that Bill Maher thinks is macho, but they're incredibly weak, let's be honest.
I'm not proud of them.
They're just in the way, or they get hurt.
Get too sweaty.
Or you sit on them.
I don't sit on my balls, but I have heard that other men What is it?
What is the pride?
It's just funny seeing the little sculpture of it.
Like it's ridiculous.
Yeah.
It's like a little dangly.
It reminds me of like a little bell you'd put on a cat so that you don't lose it or something.
Or they can hear it.
They're not, if they were like the size of watermelons.
Then I'd be like, okay, those are some balls.
Those are cojones.
Our first award goes to the president of my alma mater, Cornell University, Martha Pollack.
This month, students there demanded trigger warnings before all the lectures in case any of the adult subjects you specifically went to college to learn about came up.
Martha said, yeah, no, we're not doing that.
She didn't cave in.
Okay.
We'll hire a new dean of sensitivity.
She just said, no, college is for introducing you to new ideas, not for kissing your ass and making you feel wonderful and always right.
Yeah!
You're thinking of brunch with your parents.
I'm just amazed at how this generation can simultaneously be too sensitive for anything distasteful and somehow also so into eating ass.
So Cornell, I present you with these balls.
I sure could have used them when I was there.
Alright, you want to pause it now?
I want to never watch this again.
I'll let you know what actually happened.
I'll give you a break.
Give your eyes a break.
I'm so sick of this guy.
So it was a student resolution that the students at Cornell had put forward asking the university to require faculty to provide trigger warnings about classroom content, specifically for material that students may consider traumatic.
And the student assembly passed it, and that's why it was brought up to the university leadership to consider.
And it would be Yeah.
Content regarding including but not limited to is the phrasing, of course, sexual assault, domestic violence, self-harm, suicide, child abuse, racial hate crimes, transphobic violence, homophobic harassment, and xenophobia.
I mean, I imagine most – I went to fucking college in 2004 through 2008.
And the English class I took, it was like, hey, this scene today in this movie we're watching.
It's tough.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It might be uncomfortable.
It might make you uncomfortable.
No big deal.
You know, we did a serious inquiries only about whether or not that's effective.
And it is an interesting scientific question, but it's not fucking hard to just give a content note.
So this sounds like no big deal.
Everything you mentioned First off, hey, Bill, did I go to college to learn about, like, hate crimes and, like, rape?
Are those the adult subjects that I went to learn about?
He presents it like, oh, trigger warning, five plus five equals ten.
Macroeconomics.
Yeah, exactly.
Like, what?
What are you?
I hate this guy so much.
I hate it so much.
The students had also included in the resolution that if there were students who chose to opt out, that they wouldn't be penalized as long as they held up to making up any miscontent.
So it wasn't saying you're not penalized, you don't have to do any of the work.
It's saying it's your responsibility to make up for any miscontent if you left class, but you won't be penalized outside of that.
What does make up mean?
Well, whatever.
It doesn't fucking matter.
You know, if there's classwork or something like that.
Yeah, but then you wouldn't be avoiding the... Or a missed quiz, because you're avoiding, like, that day, because of the content that's gonna be in lecture.
Right, but how would you make it up without consuming the content that you're avoiding?
Well, I think it depends on, like, you're able to consume it in an environment that you are comfortable consuming it.
Oh, yeah, maybe, I guess.
At a pace that makes you comfortable.
Well, whatever.
The point is moot because whatever.
Because the university said no.
The university said, we cannot accept this resolution as the actions it recommends would infringe on our core commitment to academic freedom and freedom of inquiry.
Well, that's not true.
with the goals of a Cornell education. - Yeah, that's also not true, but okay. - And so essentially what happened is the student said, "Hey, we'd like you to require faculty to do this." And Cornell said, "No, we're not going to require "faculty to do this." And then faculty can just do it if they want. - Yeah, well that's important.
Actually, you know, I'm fucking whatever.
I'm fine with that.
Who cares?
Yeah.
I mean, I think that if you're a teacher that isn't a piece of shit, which, you know, your average college professor, pretty cool, I think.
You're going to do this anyway.
Yeah.
But this idea that it's, you know, should it be required?
I don't know.
I think I'm fine with being like, you could probably do it in a way more respectful way.
You know, like if you're this Cornell person, you could like validate their concerns and you could say, hey, it looks like This mostly happens anyway and we don't want to add like some bureaucracy rule thing that's going to possibly cause conflict where it doesn't need to be.
You know, you can find a way to just kind of smooth it over rather than being an asshole, which is what this person did.
Yeah.
To worship this is like, you took a stand.
You're amazing.
Like it's just, it's fucking bootlicking.
It's just like, yay.
The person in charge said no to a thing the kids wanted.
Wow.
They're amazing.
Bill Maher's hoping for that honorary degree.
Invited back to Cornell.
He already has the degree.
No, he wants to like get invited back and get like an honorary PhD or something.
Has anyone ever gotten an honorary degree from the place they got a degree from?
Where they went to school?
I don't know, maybe like a higher degree.
Maybe a different one.
I could use another PhD or something.
Yeah.
And FIRE, of course, was involved in this as well.
They wrote a letter to Cornell urging them not to accept the student resolution, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
But that's the Cornell story.
It's certainly not as, like you said, to arms that Bill Maher kind of presents it to be, of course.
Our next award goes to the place where many Cornell grads will be working next year, Trader Joe's.
Trader Joe's, who for years have been selling a line of ethnically-themed products, trading...
Oh, yeah.
...on the name Joe.
For example, they have Trader Jose's beer.
So, of course, one teenager on Twitter heard the word Jose and said it was racist, and then there was a petition, and then Trader Joe's management did the right thing.
They burnt down all their stores and killed themselves.
Fucking dramatic.
Look.
I've said it before, I'll say it again, our daughter Phoebe is a dramatic child.
She gets nowhere near this level of fucking drama.
Yeah, yeah.
What am I supposed to do, burn down my store?
It's just fucking, you're such a baby, Bill.
You're such a fucking baby.
Yeah, he even calls it out one person.
Yeah, I was gonna say, I was like, so wait, are you giving up the game there?
You're acknowledging that it's one person on Twitter did a thing to which you're putting airtime on your fucking show about a, oh, I just fucking hate him so much.
Yay, we're still cheering for some reason.
They didn't.
They said, fuck off, you oversensitive little shits.
Can you just, with the audience, can you just... Get a life and a sense of humor and released this statement.
We disagree that any of these labels are racist and we do not make decisions based on petitions.
You see how easy it is?
Okay.
So to the home of the 19-cent banana, here, have some nuts.
Yeah, it's a nothing burger.
Yeah.
So this is something where it's come up a few times, actually.
There was a petition back in 2020 that sparked from an individual in San Francisco that launched the petition.
Trader Joe's initially indicated that they would be Can you give me a sense of the numbers?
Yeah, like, what are we talking about here?
It's clearly enough that they did respond to it in some way.
So it's, you know, like, if the company is taking the time to actually put out a thing, it's something.
But like, what is it?
it's come up again this year with someone on literally one percent.
Can you give me a sense of the numbers?
Yeah, like what are we talking about here?
It's clearly enough that they did respond to it in some way.
So it's, you know, like if the company is taking the time to actually put out a thing, it's something.
But like, what is it?
How many people?
Well, so the 2020 petition was signed just over 2,500 times.
Oh, for fuck's sake.
But then the complaint this year was on TikTok, and that one has 2.1 million views and 150,000 likes.
So a lot of people are looking at it.
Yeah, exactly.
But, you know, it's... So maybe we should play that.
What is that?
Sure.
Let me see if I can find the...
While you're finding this, I want to take a moment to apologize to the audience.
I'm realizing I'm a little tired and having to hear Bill Maher and look at Bill Maher's stupid fucking face.
I'm a little more in the bitter, angry mindset than I want to be.
I want to be in more of the funnier, poking fun at thing, but I'm just so annoyed that I'm trying to keep it chill, but I can't because I'm fucking so sick of Bill Maher.
Yeah.
Oh, POV, you just found out Trader Joe's does this to cultural foods.
It's Trader Ming's.
That's it.
That's all there is?
That's literally it.
That's nothing.
Yeah, it's just the POV and then there's a voiceover.
She mouths, you know, the wait a damn minute when it shows Trader Ming's for her dinner that she's making.
That's it.
Oh, is that her kind of mouthing over a black person saying that?
Yeah.
Yeah, okay.
Maybe be aware that you're doing that when you're, you know, criticizing cultural appropriation.
Yeah, that's interesting.
I mean, that is something like pretty common on TikTok, but that is an interesting thought.
I don't really think it's cool, to be honest with you.
I don't really think, whatever.
I mean, call me.
I'll be on Bill Maher's award show.
No, not his.
I guess I'll be on the other one.
You're going to be on the New Tolerance one.
Yeah, I'll be on the New Tolerance one.
But I mean, personally, I just avoid doing, you know, they made a big deal about it.
People called it digital blackface when people first started talking about this, like using Black gifts or black emojis.
You know, it's like, I don't, I don't think fucking it should be a law.
I don't think it's a big deal.
I don't get super mad, but like, if you're somebody who's going to be making specifically a TikTok video about like, hmm, this cultural thing is a little weird.
Like maybe don't do that.
Choose a different sound to use.
Just to be consistent.
But yeah, in general, like I actually do try to avoid that stuff.
Cause I just don't, I don't know.
To me, it just doesn't feel genuine to, to use.
Someone else's, specifically like another culture's kind of way of expressing themselves and like co-opt it.
But I also, whatever, like all of this stuff, there's no woke executioner who's going to chop off your head if you do it.
It's just, I think in general, as we bring this year, 2023, year of our woke lord to a close, In general, wokeness for me, or the thing that I think the good thing that is described and slammed as wokeness or whatever, to me is just general thoughtfulness.
And it doesn't mean that you're always going to come to the right conclusion.
Someone might think of a thing, they're like, I don't know, I actually think that's not that legitimate of a concern.
Or like, oh, actually, that is a legitimate concern.
And the way you distinguish between those two things is just by being open minded, using your best judgment.
And nobody is executing anybody for this.
Every complaint of being cancelled that we've covered so far, all this stuff, it's all fucking nothing.
The biggest cancel culture we've witnessed has been right-wingers cancelling Bud Light and Target, you know, and all that stuff.
I just like to try to put a little thought into things that make sense to me.
And for me, that kind of digital blackface thing, I don't know, for me, it's kind of one of those things where I'm like, yeah, I don't really want to do it, but it's also not a big fucking deal.
If you come to a different conclusion, I'm sure if you're being respectful and any, you know, it's like, people are cool with you.
To act like there's this monolith of woke police that are going to decide that you have violated the laws is just silly.
Yeah, I think that's a great point to bring up, that monolith, right?
Like, it is not a one-position mob, like they often want to say.
Like, there's nuance within those that consider themselves woke, too, where we're going to be taking different positions on different topics, because we're also human beings, and that's how humans are.
Yeah.
And I personally don't, I mean, I'm a white person.
So what my opinion doesn't matter that much, but when it comes to the Trader Joe's thing, you know, it's one of those things where it's like, yeah, they're just using a name.
I think they usually try to find the same name if they can, but in a different link, like Trader Jacques for French food.
Yeah.
Whatever.
I don't know.
I don't think people actually have that big of a problem with this.
And so therefore, giving an award to Trader Joe's for standing up to the tyranny of Chex Notes, a petition that had 2,500 signatures on it.
It's like, all right, man.
Jesus Christ.
Yeah.
What a baby.
That closes it out for 2023 and folks that were the woke and the cojones of 2023.
But, you know, we didn't talk about this at all, but I did want to let our audience know Fox Nation has an annual award show called the Patriot Awards.
Yes.
And I really want to go next year.
You want to go?
I want to go.
Are you out of your fucking... Yes.
I will not let you go.
I'm sorry.
I have to tell you how amazing this year's Okay, I thought you were gonna say we want to review it.
Yeah, I saw a few clips from that Here's the thing listeners.
We have to create like an account on Fox Nation, which you know, I've been meaning to do I'm just dreading it.
It's like worse than doing my taxes.
I'm like, oh god, I'm gonna have to make an account on a Fox website But I'll do it Oh my god, I want to go.
Yeah, but what are you talking about?
I just want to like sit in the back and watch people because it's insane.
Because, okay, so listen.
You're as big or bigger of a secondhand embarrassment person as I am.
And you're going to go to something like that?
I would die of embarrassment.
But I also, with the kids, I can just tune things out sometimes too.
Then why are you going?
I don't know, because then when I want to tune in, I'm there.
This is nuts.
All right.
Anyway, Most Valuable Patriot Award, folks.
MVP, Most Valuable Patriot.
MVP, yeah, they had to do that.
Went to Moms for Liberty, so congratulations.
Swept the awards.
Of the school board races that they had this year, they won almost nothing.
But, you know, they won MVP, so there you go.
I guess that's a consolation prize.
James Patterson won an award.
The author, I don't know why.
Don't spill all of it, because I actually still want to do this.
Okay, all right.
I won't spill the last little bit.
That's hilarious.
Yeah, let's hold off on that.
Okay, all right.
But next year, folks, maybe I'm going to go.
And perhaps next month we might do this as the bonus or something.
This isn't like a list or like an eight-minute Bill Maher segment.
This is like a whole elaborate thing.
This is like the Academy Awards for Fox Nation.
This is a big deal.
I want to watch it.
We'll see if maybe we can get a guest to watch it as well or something.
It would be fun.
Alright, well, this has been fun, and the award for fuckin' whiniest fuckin' whiny baby goes to Bill Maher.
That's all I care about.
Every year.
He's a shoo-in.
Monopoly on it, yeah.
Will anyone ever touch it?
It's the Wayne Gretzky of being a whiny little piece of shit.
God, what a baby.
Sorry, here's what happened today, folks.
I also watched another clip of Bill Maher just for something else that was amazing that we might cover on another thing that was him being a whiny piece of shit.
So I'm just, apologies, my blood Bill Maher level is like way higher than the legal limit.
I can't drive right now.
I wouldn't be safe.
So that's why.
It's a little more bitter than normal.
But thank you so much for listening, everybody.
And make sure to go to patreon.com slash where there's woke to sign up for all the bonuses like any future bonuses we might have.
And the really funny extra bit of war on Christmas with Tom Curry from Cognitive Dissonance.
Yeah, that was it was really funny.
So you don't want to miss it.
But thank you for a great year of Where There's Woke, which only existed for like half of the year, I think.
I know this is going to be our first full year heading into 2024.
So excited.
With the election.
Oh God.
It's going to be rough here.
All right.
Well, we'll get through it together.
Yeah.
We have each other.
Is it Anheuser?
Anheuser-Busch.
Anheuser.
