00:00:15.060 All right.
00:00:16.100 Welcome back to Flack of Socks and Podcast episode 245 today on the show.
00:00:22.260 An intoxicated illegal drove a semi-truck into traffic, killing five people.
00:00:27.760 We're going to go over the details there.
00:00:29.040 Then Big Mike launched a podcast with his brother Big Mike as well.
00:00:33.400 We're going to go over the initial stats.
00:00:35.540 Then after that, Trump's approval rating is at an all-time high, while the Democrats' approval rating is at an all-time low.
00:00:41.420 So that's good.
00:00:42.740 And last but not least, this Amazon delivery person is tired of delivering Amazon packages.
00:00:49.700 We're going to show you what happened there.
00:00:51.160 All this in March, Flack of Socks, the podcast episode 245, ranked the best news podcast of all time.
00:00:59.040 Because words are just words until action actually starts.
00:01:06.140 And actions speak louder than words, but at the same time, words speak louder than actions because sometimes it's the right thing to do.
00:01:13.640 Very cool.
00:01:14.760 Very cool.
00:01:15.300 All right.
00:01:26.120 One for one on the intro, as always.
00:01:29.180 Guys, our country just witnessed Donald Trump overcome political persecution, an assassination attempt, and the entire deep state in order to regain the presidency in a historic victory.
00:01:41.280 There's one secret ingredient that allowed Trump to do all of this, and that is testosterone.
00:01:46.700 What most people don't realize is testosterone makes men willing and eager to take on challenges.
00:01:53.040 But sadly, too many of us have lost our fight.
00:01:56.180 And that's exactly how the globalists want us.
00:01:58.680 They want us weak, out of shape, and full of microplastics and estrogen with low T.

00:03:12.880 All right.
00:03:13.580 Thank you to Chalk for sponsoring.
00:03:15.040 Thank you, Chalk.
00:03:15.840 It's very important to be chalked up these days.
00:03:17.940 Yep.
00:03:18.260 Got to be strong.
00:03:19.020 We're going to show you why in this episode, as we do every episode.
00:03:22.060 Yes.
00:03:22.600 Feels good to be back.
00:03:23.600 Sorry we couldn't be here on Friday.
00:03:25.180 We were traveling.
00:03:26.040 We're going to go over our trip a little bit more in Bonus Land.
00:03:30.040 But we can get right into it.
00:03:31.300 It's a Tuesday show.
00:03:32.160 That means business.
00:03:33.140 Okay.
00:03:33.800 Episode 245 as well.
00:03:36.140 245 is a great time of day.
00:03:38.060 Okay.
00:03:38.800 I didn't know you were going with that.
00:03:40.120 I thought you were going to say 45, Trump number, something like that.
00:03:42.660 And then 45 plus 2 is 47.
00:03:44.740 Okay.
00:03:45.300 There you go.
00:03:45.900 Now we're cooking.
00:03:46.560 Yep.
00:03:47.080 But 245, you're usually on the bus on the way home or work starting to wind down.
00:03:51.540 Yeah.
00:03:51.700 Okay.
00:03:52.060 But it is Tuesday, so we're not at the end of the week yet.
00:03:55.280 All right.
00:03:55.520 Let's get to our...
00:03:56.780 It's fucking nothing.
00:03:59.020 I wonder if we're going to lose it.
00:04:00.860 We're not going to lose it.
00:04:01.820 We're very much on the rails today.
00:04:04.620 We have our first story, Trump's approval rating, as we mentioned in the intro.
00:04:08.320 Can you give that a read?
00:04:09.080 Yeah.
00:04:09.560 NBC says 44% of Americans say the country is headed in the right direction under President
00:04:14.000 Trump, which doesn't seem like a huge number, up from just 27% in November.
00:04:19.500 And they say if that doesn't seem like a lot, the last time it cracked 40%, you got to go
00:04:23.820 back to 2012.
00:04:25.460 The last time it actually hit 44% or higher, January 2004.
00:04:29.480 It's like 20-something years.
00:04:30.800 Yeah.
00:04:31.300 Crazy.
00:04:31.600 So, Americans are the most optimistic on the direction of our country since 2004.
00:04:37.480 That is very nice to hear.
00:04:38.880 44% kind of leads me to believe most Americans are generally disgruntled for the most part.
00:04:44.160 But yeah, good numbers, right?
00:04:45.940 I think it's going up.
00:04:46.860 It's about where we're trending.
00:04:48.120 And then also a lot of these polls are kind of fluffed up to push a certain narrative.
00:04:52.640 And then it shows you, yeah, I mean, you know, we take polls when we can and when they're
00:04:56.720 good and sometimes we ignore them when they're bad.
00:04:58.700 But it kind of shows you that the media's ability to fear monger and go crazy on this
00:05:04.840 second Trump administration is weaker than ever.
00:05:06.800 They're not able to whip up the same support they were in 2016-17.
00:05:11.020 Exactly.
00:05:11.820 They're not operating in reality.
00:05:13.720 But Democrat twinks are still being paid to lie to us.
00:05:18.440 Here we have a little compilation of our favorite Democrat twink, Harry Sisson.
00:05:22.640 Major breaking news.
00:05:23.580 We have some breaking news.
00:05:24.720 We have some major breaking.
00:05:25.880 We have some major news.
00:05:27.240 We have some major news.
00:05:28.460 We have some major breaking, major breaking news.
00:05:31.020 We have some major news.
00:05:32.240 We have some major news.
00:05:33.560 We have some major.
00:05:34.300 So you get the point.
00:05:35.480 We get the point.
00:05:36.440 He's a paid Democrat pussy.
00:05:38.300 We all knew that already, but it actually gets worse.
00:05:41.660 I found this picture of him with a Kamala Harris tattoo.
00:05:46.100 Now it is AI, obviously.
00:05:47.880 It's a meme.
00:05:48.780 It's watermarked grand old memes right there.
00:05:51.140 And it is AI.
00:05:52.380 It was, you know, made by AI.
00:05:54.100 But why would you ever get a Kamala Harris tattoo?
00:05:57.140 So true.
00:05:58.160 Isn't that like so embarrassing?
00:05:59.760 Even if someone made it up, it's still wrong.
00:06:02.140 Yeah.
00:06:02.520 I don't know why you would ever do something like that.
00:06:04.260 It's absolutely pathetic.
00:06:05.980 All right.
00:06:06.680 Our next clip.
00:06:07.700 Hold on.
00:06:08.660 Harry Sisson, are we going to say anything about this?
00:06:10.160 It's so inorganic that he has to stick to the same script every time.
00:06:14.080 It's the same thing as Dash.
00:06:15.200 When all you're doing is like mongering up some sort of anti-Trump content.
00:06:19.880 Like us, we released a social media clip of our podcast.
00:06:22.420 And it's like, we're explaining something midway through a sentence.
00:06:26.160 Him, it's all just the alarm bells are going.
00:06:28.580 Yeah.
00:06:28.960 So.
00:06:29.420 And it makes it seem like he gets a script and he goes, yeah, whatever.
00:06:32.100 I'll read it.
00:06:32.660 I get 550 bucks every time I do.
00:06:34.900 Stick to the formula.
00:06:35.560 I'll get the check at the end of the month and, you know, it'll pay for my poppers.
00:06:40.860 We're going to get to that.
00:06:42.280 Final page of housekeeping.
00:06:43.480 We're going to get to the poppers.
00:06:44.940 And our next clip is another dose of reality for Democrats.
00:06:48.660 These comedians were doing like an open mic type thing, like a panel.
00:06:52.320 And they polled the audience to see who were Trump supporters and who were Kamala supporters.
00:06:56.580 And they were surprised by the answer.
00:06:58.260 Anybody here voted for Kamala?
00:07:01.960 Wow.
00:07:02.720 These are all, you're all Trump voters?
00:07:05.100 No.
00:07:06.460 Neither.
00:07:06.980 No.
00:07:07.260 Neither.
00:07:07.820 Neither.
00:07:07.960 Neither.
00:07:08.440 Raise your hand if you're honest enough to say you voted for Trump.
00:07:12.120 Look at that, man.
00:07:13.120 We're in New York City.
00:07:13.440 I'm joking though, but yeah.
00:07:14.580 He literally has a mag of scarf on.
00:07:17.780 And that was in New York City and not one person in the room voted for Kamala, which is
00:07:23.500 more proof that the entire Democrat operation is propped up by USAID and voter fraud.
00:07:29.580 Okay.
00:07:30.140 I was going to say there might also be a psychological aspect there where you don't want to admit you
00:07:33.920 are on the losing team to a certain extent.
00:07:36.220 But yeah, I agree.
00:07:37.600 I'm surprised everywhere.
00:07:38.960 And is comedy becoming more right wing?
00:07:40.920 Yes.
00:07:41.480 More right wing coded?
00:07:42.340 Everyone except for Bill Burr, who somehow is moving left when he started on the right?
00:07:46.820 USAID money as well.
00:07:47.900 Well, actually, I saw someone saying, what do they have on him?
00:07:51.600 Because he made a true 180 and everybody knows that he's got like a liberal wife who's kind
00:07:56.320 of a miserable person, but we're not going to get too into Bill Burr, maybe in bonus land,
00:08:00.460 but sad to see.
00:08:01.340 I used to listen to that guy.
00:08:02.500 But the comedians are definitely going right.
00:08:05.060 Tim Dillon just had Steve Bannon on.
00:08:07.620 Theo Vaughn had Candace Owens on.
00:08:10.160 Andrew Schultz has been doing a great job like talking common sense, which is now considered
00:08:14.200 a Republican value.
00:08:15.620 So it's really good to see because obviously comedians need to speak the truth to actually
00:08:20.620 do comedy.
00:08:21.220 And then the truth only falls on one side these days.
00:08:23.880 And there was a while where Netflix was given a big chunk of money to that, you know, lesbian
00:08:28.160 woman, Australian.
00:08:29.480 Yeah, yeah.
00:08:30.100 So it's nice to see it kind of come around.
00:08:32.420 It is coming around.
00:08:33.960 And our next clip is a, is it Congress person?
00:08:36.980 Yeah, this is Congressman Tim McBride.
00:08:39.080 And he's going by a woman's name now, but I seem to have forgot it.
00:08:41.760 And he's wearing some women's clothes, but listen to what he said about Republicans and
00:08:45.940 what we're up to.
00:08:47.620 I wish they would spend a fraction of the time that they spend thinking about me, figuring
00:08:53.420 out how to make government actually work better rather than making it work worse in order to
00:08:58.860 prove that government can't work.
00:09:01.280 They are obsessed with culture war issues.
00:09:04.500 The Republican Party is obsessed with culture war issues.
00:09:08.620 It is weird and it is bizarre.
00:09:10.600 Weird and bizarre says the literal trans person who I'm constantly thinking about going to
00:09:16.460 the bathroom.
00:09:17.920 I'm always wondering what they're doing.
00:09:19.700 So you are.
00:09:20.340 They got me there.
00:09:21.260 What are you doing in the bathroom?
00:09:22.540 Well, there's this thing where Republicans fought back in a culture war.
00:09:27.380 We just said, here's a line in the sand after like so much taking of ground.
00:09:31.160 And then for this guy in women's clothing and a hair wearing a women's suit as like their
00:09:36.880 skin, they somehow think you're not involved in the culture war.
00:09:41.000 Brother, you're a general in the culture war.
00:09:43.660 You're a top guy.
00:09:44.620 You're brigadier general, first commander, like the first trans congressperson.
00:09:48.240 You're like, I'm above the culture war.
00:09:49.940 We need to get back to governing.
00:09:51.360 Dude, what are you talking about?
00:09:52.400 Admiral Avin is also in the culture war as an admiral.
00:09:55.240 That's a true admiral.
00:09:56.160 That's one for one.
00:09:56.900 This is brigadier general.
00:09:58.120 That's double admiral.
00:09:59.680 But yeah, acting like you're somehow above the culture war is crazy to me.
00:10:03.840 What do you guys do?
00:10:04.480 Like you punch someone and go, whoa, everybody.
00:10:06.680 What are you, bar fighting?
00:10:08.460 Crazy.
00:10:09.120 Yeah, it's very ironic.
00:10:10.560 And a good way to expose the Harry Sisson types, if you ever get them like one-on-one
00:10:13.940 or like in an interview, is just say, is it normal to be trans?
00:10:17.340 And I think they have to say yes, even though 85% of the country probably thinks no.
00:10:21.980 Yeah, and it just happened in a wave over the last 15 years and basically didn't exist
00:10:26.560 for a long time.
00:10:27.740 Exactly.
00:10:28.320 All right.
00:10:28.580 But now that Democrats are flailing and losing public support, they're resorting to some
00:10:34.320 pretty ugly and dangerous tactics.
00:10:36.140 They've been swatting a lot of right-wing commentators and podcasters and Twitter people.
00:10:41.120 We have a clip here.
00:10:41.940 This is what it looks like.
00:10:42.580 This is from just a couple of days ago.
00:10:43.860 Someone got swatted at one in the morning.
00:10:46.560 Yeah, and there's like a long list of multiple personalities who've been swatted.
00:10:50.000 I think some Infowars guys, some independent podcasters, stuff like that.
00:10:52.900 So basically what they do is they call the cops and they say, oh, you know, this guy at
00:10:57.120 this house, he's shooting everybody.
00:10:58.860 There's a mass murder.
00:10:59.720 You got to get there quick.
00:11:00.800 And then cops show up with guns.
00:11:02.640 And imagine it's one in the morning and you hear banging on the door or you look outside
00:11:06.840 and you see people with rifles and you don't know it's cops.
00:11:09.560 They kind of are trying to get you in a situation where you have your own gun.
00:11:13.260 The cops bust in.
00:11:14.160 They see you with a gun and then they get you killed or kill your barking dog.
00:11:18.100 Yeah.
00:11:18.380 Which Jerry is at risk.
00:11:19.820 But and imagine, I guess the ultimate dream for a swatter is they send a trigger happy
00:11:25.060 woman cop to the door and then she doesn't know how to handle the situation and it's
00:11:28.980 dark and then all of a sudden, boom, boom, boom.
00:11:31.820 And you get shot and you go, please stop shooting me.
00:11:33.960 Yeah.
00:11:34.540 But I actually have a solution at night before I go to bed.
00:11:37.700 I put this sign at my front door and it says, do not swap me, please.
00:11:41.080 I think that, you know, if you're a cop and you think that you're responding to a mass
00:11:46.740 shooting and you see a sign that says, do not swap me, that would kind of ease the tensions
00:11:52.140 and deescalate before I get to the door in my underwear.
00:11:54.680 I think so as well.
00:11:55.640 Yeah, me too.
00:11:56.460 Smart move.
00:11:57.320 The Democrats, now that they're flailing, are also destroying Teslas and cyber trucks
00:12:02.220 and Tesla charging stations.
00:12:04.540 That's been going on for the last few days.
00:12:06.140 We have a New York Post headline.
00:12:07.500 Well, this was the one that we covered.
00:12:08.740 This was the improvised explosive device lady, woman charged with IEDs.
00:12:13.140 Not very ladylike doing IEDs.
00:12:14.900 There was an update and it said trans Tesla vandal who allegedly threw Molotov cocktails
00:12:19.100 at cars lives with mom and calls herself baby herself.
00:12:23.700 And then it says sources say, and the source you told me was the dad.
00:12:28.160 You go to the body of the article and like the dad was like, yeah, I'll talk to the New
00:12:31.800 York Post.
00:12:32.340 He's got some problems.
00:12:33.520 I haven't talked to him in a couple of years, which is actually my favorite.
00:12:36.020 His mom are cooking something up.
00:12:37.740 She calls him baby.
00:12:40.020 That's the best when someone breaks reality.
00:12:42.600 Like New York Post, I guess they're still playing by the rules where you call a trans
00:12:45.740 person her.
00:12:46.960 I'm calling Timmy McBride Timmy.
00:12:48.900 Yeah.
00:12:49.100 You know, we don't play by those rules, obviously.
00:12:51.080 But every once in a while, there's a person who just breaks character and he's like, I'm
00:12:54.540 too old for this.
00:12:55.620 He's got some mental issues.
00:12:57.140 He calls himself baby.
00:12:58.320 Yeah.
00:12:58.800 That's my quote.
00:12:59.620 Yes, you could put it on the record.
00:13:00.740 All right.
00:13:02.960 Next, we have a guy who got arrested for destroying a Cybertruck or a Tesla.
00:13:07.760 Was it keying a Tesla?
00:13:08.700 He was keying it.
00:13:09.480 And then the police responded quickly and got him.
00:13:11.840 And if you zoom in, I know we don't do doppels anymore, but RRB type for sure.
00:13:19.380 Man, bun, Richard, rap boy.
00:13:21.340 Sad, man.
00:13:21.880 Got him.
00:13:22.620 Sad.
00:13:22.920 He could have had a completely different destiny.
00:13:25.400 I know.
00:13:25.900 He could be one of two people on a podcast, right wing, but I don't know.
00:13:30.080 I see this a lot, actually.
00:13:32.060 My types, they go astray.
00:13:33.820 I don't know what it's about.
00:13:35.200 It goes from Vaush all the way to you.
00:13:37.220 I know.
00:13:37.620 Is there anyone more muscular, more jacked, like a Viking strongman of you or anything?
00:13:41.780 I'm sure.
00:13:42.620 But unfortunately, I don't get compared to them as much.
00:13:44.880 Yeah, that's all right.
00:13:45.920 I get the shitty leftist.
00:13:46.400 You're towards the good side of the spectrum, though.
00:13:47.920 You're almost at the end of the best.
00:13:49.440 Thank you.
00:13:49.800 Thank you.
00:13:50.140 All right.
00:13:50.600 That's very rare for you to be generous in a doppelganger instead of insulting me.
00:13:53.800 Well, I'm going to get you back in a few minutes in the first story of Final Page
00:13:58.520 of Housekeeping.
00:13:59.180 Okay.
00:13:59.620 All right.
00:14:00.200 Jordan Peterson was echoing some weird stuff.
00:14:02.920 There's basically this push online to attribute people saying Christ is king to people being
00:14:08.280 anti-Semitic, and there was like a study done.
00:14:11.460 Cernovich had a good summation of it and a good call out against Jordan Peterson.
00:14:15.400 He said, hi, Jordan Peterson.
00:14:16.520 Are you aware that the group that funded your research, Reading Mean Posts on X, specializes
00:14:22.520 in identifying domestic terrorism, and that put your name on a report designed to connect
00:14:27.480 Christ is king to domestic terrorism?
00:14:29.520 Are you a fool or a demon?
00:14:31.340 So basically, they're saying saying Christ is king is anti-Semitic.
00:14:34.720 And here's some advice for the influencer class that echoes this.
00:14:38.700 Policing people for saying Christ is king because some people who are anonymous on Twitter say
00:14:44.960 Christ is king and then hail Hitler or something, it's not really a winning strategy.
00:14:49.640 You know, it's anti-free speech as well, but also, you know, the people who killed Jesus
00:14:55.600 don't need to really tell the other people what Christ is king means, especially so close
00:15:01.020 to Easter.
00:15:01.680 That's true.
00:15:02.400 You know?
00:15:02.680 That's true.
00:15:03.060 So it's not a good look, and it's not America first, so just keep that in mind, everybody.
00:15:07.040 Don't get left behind with the Ben Shapiro Daily Wire types.
00:15:10.500 Yeah, that's also something that happens a lot where you don't need to speak on every
00:15:15.000 single thing.
00:15:15.820 You could just ignore it and go, yeah, all right, maybe a bad actor.
00:15:18.740 You don't need to formally condemn anybody or do anything like that.
00:15:22.720 Especially Christ is king.
00:15:24.020 Yeah, I'd stay away from that one in particular.
00:15:26.540 Christ is king, so I wouldn't really try to get into the semantics of it.
00:15:31.180 Exactly.
00:15:31.600 All right, next we're in our Doge section.
00:15:33.340 We have some good news.
00:15:34.240 Johns Hopkins University has fired over 2,000 employees after losing $800 million in USAID
00:15:40.880 funding.
00:15:41.420 2,000 employees.
00:15:42.640 We were propping them up a lot.
00:15:44.400 That's like the size of a college.
00:15:47.240 Yeah.
00:15:47.460 2,000 employees.
00:15:49.560 So good to see that.
00:15:50.740 Lots of jobs are gone.
00:15:52.820 I don't even know what the jobs were.
00:15:55.480 I know.
00:15:56.060 But if you could just cut 2,000 people, you weren't doing anything.
00:15:59.100 Johns Hopkins, I believe, is in the D.C. area.
00:16:01.740 So it was probably just some no-show job.
00:16:04.800 Get your friend on the board.
00:16:06.860 Get your friend doing a study.
00:16:08.200 And you just give everyone money from the taxpayers.
00:16:10.420 And then you get nice stuff.
00:16:11.580 You live in a nice house.
00:16:12.440 And it's all a scam supported by us.
00:16:14.540 Another government-funded teat to suckle on for the D.C. elite.
00:16:18.380 Sucking teats.
00:16:19.160 Yeah.
00:16:19.680 And then we have EPA rollback as well.
00:16:22.500 Can you give that clip of play?
00:16:23.620 I think the biggest risk is that we have a small window to deal with climate change, really.
00:16:30.300 And there's, you know, it's getting smaller and smaller, less than 10 years to sort of level out and reduce our emissions.
00:16:36.700 And we had and have currently a lot of rules that deal with that.
00:16:42.880 To throw those all out would undo a lot of progress that's been made to try to reach these new standards for our country and for the world.
00:16:51.860 And we will lose our opportunity to really get ahead of this problem or even stay current with the problem.
00:16:58.640 So they're just using climate change, as they've been doing for the last, I don't know, 40 years, to just steal all the money and take all the power.
00:17:06.760 Someone had a tweet that actually summed it up perfectly.
00:17:09.060 Yeah.
00:17:09.320 This computer model that I made says the world is going to end if you don't give me trillions of dollars in unlimited political power.
00:17:15.520 Yeah.
00:17:16.180 Yeah.
00:17:16.400 We're talking about the EPA here, who has, like, some pretty unnecessary things.
00:17:20.520 Like, when you build, you have to get a survey done to see how it impacts the Western newt.
00:17:26.580 Yeah, the bugs.
00:17:27.360 You can't build because of bugs.
00:17:28.860 Stupid shit like that.
00:17:30.080 And then they conflate, you know, targeted reductions in that to we're giving up on climate change, as if it's not China and India and dumping things into river and coal power that's completely the main driver of all emissions.
00:17:44.440 Exactly.
00:17:45.080 And our next clip is about China.
00:17:46.960 Basically, we were paying to monitor China's air, and now we're not doing that anymore.
00:17:51.280 This is what air looks like at 225, more than 20 times beyond the WHO's recommended limit.
00:17:58.880 The data the U.S. shared became a go-to for people who didn't always buy into the Chinese numbers.
00:18:04.480 The program then expanded to more than 80 embassies and consulates around the world until now.
00:18:10.420 Air monitoring is being axed because of budget constraints, presumably the doge kind, what a State Department spokesperson called the current budget climate and difficult cuts.
00:18:20.280 The American monitoring really irked Chinese officials, but it kicked off this whole other level of awareness about breathing dirty air and public health.
00:18:29.360 No, we need to pay our tax dollars to monitor China's air.
00:18:34.500 80 embassies, 80 different countries air.
00:18:37.040 80 different countries air.
00:18:38.500 How about we can save the millions of dollars?
00:18:41.580 It's not good.
00:18:42.480 Yeah.
00:18:43.000 It's dirty.
00:18:43.640 It's bad.
00:18:44.260 You see the pictures and the videos of them blowing it out?
00:18:46.380 It's bad.
00:18:47.100 It's pretty easy.
00:18:48.060 We just leave it at that.
00:18:48.960 You don't really need to send all the money there still.
00:18:51.320 Well, I like it that, you know, and this is what I was talking about with the media's effectiveness and Trump's approval ratings and stuff.
00:18:58.180 They try to do a sad puff piece about how we need to keep funding the air studies in 80 different countries because some of those countries lie to their own people.
00:19:06.780 And the random American guy who travels there needs to be able to look at this website.
00:19:10.260 Were they all doing that?
00:19:11.620 Yeah.
00:19:11.980 What's it really for, right?
00:19:13.020 What's it really for?
00:19:14.020 And then there's a tweet that kind of gives you a hint and shows you how inefficient it was.
00:19:17.440 Taxpayers funding air monitors in 80 countries while China bans data exposing their pollution lies?
00:19:23.080 Pure globalist waste.
00:19:24.620 Doge's cuts end this madness.
00:19:26.680 Fund American priorities, not Beijing's propaganda.
00:19:29.660 Let China clean its own air.
00:19:31.060 Let them clean their own air.
00:19:32.380 Yeah.
00:19:32.780 Let them do whatever they want.
00:19:34.200 All right.
00:19:34.520 Next, we have Joe Biden USAID exposure.
00:19:38.280 Basically, this guy on Joe Rogan was saying, remember Joe Biden had that guy fired?
00:19:44.880 Prosecutor.
00:19:45.440 Yeah.
00:19:45.560 The prosecutor in Ukraine fired in order to protect Hunter Biden.
00:19:49.680 Listen to where the money came from.
00:19:51.420 You remember when Joe Biden was at the Council on Foreign Relations and bragged that he got the top prosecutor in Ukraine fired by the Ukrainian government because he explicitly conditioned the firing of the prosecutor who was investigating Burisma.
00:20:11.640 He expressly conditioned their receipt of a billion dollars in U.S. financial assistance on the firing of Victor Shokin, the prosecutor.
00:20:24.560 And he said, son of a bee.
00:20:26.820 It's so crazy watching him brag about that publicly.
00:20:30.020 It just shows you what an idiot he is.
00:20:31.660 You know what that billion dollars in financial assistance was?
00:20:34.020 It was a USAID grant.
00:20:35.480 Hmm.
00:20:36.220 USAID grant.
00:20:37.600 Classic.
00:20:37.940 So they just use it as a slush fund.
00:20:39.920 They bribe people, do whatever they need to do.
00:20:42.400 And we caught him.
00:20:43.780 Yeah.
00:20:44.000 And then just for like petty political favors, not even for good stuff, you know, not even for natural resources or things that benefit Americans just to like be a swinging dick.
00:20:53.720 To get Hunter Biden off.
00:20:55.180 Exactly.
00:20:56.040 So we caught you.
00:20:57.280 Yeah.
00:20:57.740 All right.
00:20:58.000 We're moving on now to our migrant section.
00:20:59.980 We have some pretty important stories here.
00:21:02.020 First is about the population growth recently, where it all came from.
00:21:06.720 Look at this headline.
00:21:07.580 I couldn't believe it.
00:21:08.460 I texted around.
00:21:09.440 I was like, this can't be real.
00:21:10.640 This happened in the middle of the Biden administration.
00:21:13.800 This is NBC News this morning.
00:21:15.400 Immigration accounted for all.
00:21:17.800 Look at that.
00:21:18.540 All U.S. population growth in 2022 to 23.
00:21:21.940 The first time since 1850.
00:21:24.060 Hmm.
00:21:25.580 All.
00:21:26.180 All.
00:21:26.820 All.
00:21:27.300 That's all.
00:21:28.120 You guys need to know that.
00:21:29.520 And then these people crowd you.
00:21:31.180 And then you go, you're trying to do the right thing.
00:21:33.400 And they're also causing inflation by competing for the same resources.
00:21:36.740 And you're like, maybe I should delay that kid just another year.
00:21:39.720 I don't know if I'm financially feasible.
00:21:41.580 And they come in and pop out three kids and squeeze you even more.
00:21:44.660 And it gets uglier and uglier.
00:21:46.040 And then the ability to have a kid becomes less and less as they keep increasing.
00:21:49.740 And then what?
00:21:50.400 They just squeeze us out.
00:21:51.520 And now all of the population growth.
00:21:53.660 So we don't.
00:21:54.680 And again, we don't have to just stop it.
00:21:57.300 We have to reverse some of this.
00:21:58.820 And I think that's part of our next story here.
00:22:00.440 It is part of our next story.
00:22:01.220 Really quick.
00:22:02.540 Godaways.
00:22:03.120 It was in the clip later.
00:22:04.340 But Godaways are at 77 a day, down from 1,800 a day during Joe Biden.
00:22:10.160 Crazy.
00:22:10.720 All right.
00:22:11.000 Next, we have some criminals being deported.
00:22:15.360 This is a hype video.
00:22:16.420 I don't know if we're even going to play the audio.
00:22:18.160 But these are the most violent Trendy Aragla members being secretly flown out via plane to El Salvador.
00:22:26.440 Yep.
00:22:27.720 And we played it at 2x speed just to keep it going.
00:22:31.760 But yeah, here they are getting dragged off the plane.
00:22:33.900 They're getting bent over.
00:22:36.720 Really disrespected.
00:22:38.480 They're getting manhandled.
00:22:39.700 They're getting manhandled.
00:22:40.900 And, you know, I feel bad in some ways because it's a huge downgrade from the Roosevelt Hotel in Manhattan.
00:22:46.000 So I guess that's the question.
00:22:49.020 Like, you picture some of these guys, face tattoos, doing crimes.
00:22:52.540 Where should they be?
00:22:53.720 Because the Biden men said, probably the Roosevelt Hotel, Manhattan, greatest city on earth.
00:22:58.260 Yeah, right in the middle.
00:22:59.100 And then Trump go, let's give them to that Bukele guy in South America and see what he can do with them.
00:23:03.860 Head down, shave their head, do it all.
00:23:06.060 Yeah, that's what I like.
00:23:06.860 So obviously, podcast watchers of this show, it's not the Roosevelt Hotel.
00:23:11.880 Not anymore.
00:23:12.740 So that's progress.
00:23:13.560 And that's why the approval rating is so high.
00:23:15.240 But apparently there's a story that goes with this.
00:23:17.160 Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller secretly orchestrated the Venezuelan gang members' flights to El Salvador to get the criminals out of the country before an activist judge could take action.
00:23:26.480 And this activist federal judge did take action.
00:23:29.660 But ultimately it was too late.
00:23:31.320 Because the flight was over international water.
00:23:33.220 Stephen Miller kept the circle tight.
00:23:35.080 And this is also Trump 2.0.
00:23:37.860 Stephen Miller keeping the circle tight.
00:23:39.980 Doing things because you know you're thinking two steps ahead.
00:23:43.460 You know a federal judge in some random state in America is going to say, hey, wait, no, we need those Venezuelan gang members.
00:23:50.060 Don't!
00:23:50.960 And then, you know, too late.
00:23:52.420 We're already over international water.
00:23:53.760 So the game is the game.
00:23:55.180 We're learning.
00:23:56.380 Stephen Miller, thank you.
00:23:57.620 And honestly, fuck the judges.
00:23:59.380 There's two schools of thought.
00:24:00.420 We're the good guys.
00:24:01.260 They're the bad guys.
00:24:02.000 It's pretty simple.
00:24:03.020 It's good versus evil.
00:24:03.780 But, yeah, there is the school of thought.
00:24:06.120 Like, we shouldn't get in the habit of doing this because Democrats will do it two times over.
00:24:10.280 And it's like, who crossed the Rubicon first?
00:24:12.340 We're in this battle of back and forth.
00:24:14.340 And it's very funny to see Democrats become the party of law and order all of a sudden.
00:24:18.980 Yeah.
00:24:19.160 And the law and order party that they're becoming is all about due process for violent, illegal criminals.
00:24:25.160 Exactly.
00:24:25.640 Not even for Americans.
00:24:26.860 Yep.
00:24:26.980 All right.
00:24:27.580 Our next story is the saddest story of the whole episode.
00:24:30.820 An illegal truck driver who was intoxicated on depressive drugs crashed a semi-truck into traffic that was stopped.
00:24:39.040 And he killed five people, including two children.
00:24:42.600 Here he is getting confronted.
00:24:43.860 It's you, bro?
00:24:46.320 The fuck, man?
00:24:48.400 What?
00:24:50.660 What happened?
00:24:52.320 When I left, I'm coming and somebody left you when I went here.
00:25:00.440 So.
00:25:01.280 But you, the traffic was there, bro.
00:25:03.460 Like, there's no way you should have been.
00:25:05.220 I'm a trucker myself, bro.
00:25:06.740 You're not putting that.
00:25:07.600 You were going to.
00:25:08.260 I'm going to.
00:25:08.540 You know, there's two people dead over there.
00:25:11.780 And possibly two more.
00:25:14.320 Possibly four.
00:25:16.600 They're dead.
00:25:17.920 Dead?
00:25:18.460 They're dead.
00:25:19.580 Dead?
00:25:20.260 Yes, dead.
00:25:21.460 Oh, my goodness.
00:25:22.140 And that's him wearing flip-flops, I guess, while driving the truck.
00:25:25.540 Which, is that normal?
00:25:27.500 Can you do the bare minimum and have, like, good footwear?
00:25:30.640 Maybe speak English?
00:25:31.680 He's barely grunting to this guy, communicating, figuring out how many people he killed.
00:25:35.960 Wearing slides.
00:25:37.080 And his name is Solomon Weldekial Aroya, a 37-year-old Texas man, is how they worded it.
00:25:43.880 Yeah, his 37-year-old horn of Africa somehow got to America.
00:25:47.360 Now he's in Texas, man.
00:25:48.920 Yeah.
00:25:49.580 Ethiopian, Eritrean, Somalian type.
00:25:51.600 Look at his face.
00:25:52.500 Nothing good.
00:25:53.240 There's his mugshot.
00:25:54.240 And I actually went online and I found some people in the comments.
00:25:58.420 That's where you get a lot of good insight.
00:26:00.560 A lot of truck drivers in the comments.
00:26:02.640 We're going to read a few of their posts.
00:26:04.400 Can you give the first few a read?
00:26:05.780 Yeah.
00:26:05.960 I just drove a 3,000-mile round trip over the last month.
00:26:09.180 I saw no less than 12 semis crashed in those 44 hours of driving.
00:26:13.660 In my almost 45 years of driving, I don't believe I've seen that many semi crashes.
00:26:18.060 And that's very true.
00:26:19.160 And then when I first learned how to drive, my dad used to tell me on the highways,
00:26:22.620 don't be scared of the trucks because the truck drivers are the best drivers on the road,
00:26:26.720 which is like an Americana thing.
00:26:28.320 American truck drivers, they know what they're doing.
00:26:30.320 They know their points.
00:26:31.840 Don't think that's true anymore with Salomon Wakalanda, Somalian guys driving truck in Texas.
00:26:38.320 We lost another piece of Americana.
00:26:40.180 Keep going with the tweets.
00:26:41.220 Yeah, CDL driver here.
00:26:42.740 The government has been importing thousands and thousands of low-skilled workers and pushing
00:26:46.560 them through CDL schools.
00:26:47.900 These people can't comprehend English and can barely understand the highway infrastructure.
00:26:52.620 Yeah.
00:26:53.280 Another person says, I share my office space with our local transport logistics office.
00:26:57.680 We have outside carriers on our lot daily.
00:27:01.340 All our inbound loads are brought by outside carriers.
00:27:04.540 Very few, if any, pros.
00:27:06.700 Mostly H-1Bs are flat out illegals in flip-flops.
00:27:09.720 So it seems the flip-flops are a known quantity.
00:27:13.480 They tie up our docks for hours because they have no backing skills at all.
00:27:17.400 Often end up having the one old white guy on the lot guide them into the dock.
00:27:21.480 They have to cut through our parking lot to access the entrance gate.
00:27:24.420 They're bound to crush a person someday.
00:27:27.180 Yep.
00:27:27.360 And then our last one.
00:27:29.100 This guy says, I'm a union carpenter in Illinois.
00:27:31.400 Recently was on a huge solar farm job.
00:27:34.500 Whole crews of Haitians working union job sites at union wages.
00:27:38.520 They don't speak English, don't do anything all day, and can't be fired for some reason.
00:27:42.960 I asked my union what was going on and got no response.
00:27:45.860 So this seems to be the trend all over.
00:27:48.280 I'm sure you guys have noticed, too, when you're driving on the road.
00:27:51.120 Kind of give a look and see who's driving the trucks.
00:27:53.920 More Mohammeds than Jameses these days.
00:27:56.500 More Mohammeds than Jameses, for sure.
00:27:58.860 And apparently they are trying to crack down a little bit.
00:28:01.660 So they're doing, at the weigh station stops, they're doing English tests.
00:28:05.260 Can you give that tweet a read?
00:28:06.380 Yeah.
00:28:06.680 English checks have begun.
00:28:08.200 Truck driver in Arkansas at a weigh station.
00:28:10.820 They were stopping all trucks.
00:28:12.720 Everyone is handed a piece of paper.
00:28:14.240 They have to read it out loud, and they must also write what they're told to write.
00:28:18.460 So just a little spot check for English proficiency.
00:28:21.660 Quote, I was actually witnessing people in handcuffs that had been pulled in.
00:28:25.440 I was like, what's going on?
00:28:27.020 He goes, we've come across now that if you cannot read or write in English, that it's a $5,000 fine.
00:28:35.620 And if you have a company in Arkansas that employs people that can't read or write in English,
00:28:39.640 it's a $10,000 fine paid on the spot.
00:28:42.320 Good.
00:28:42.700 If you cannot pay it, you're automatically arrested and lose your license.
00:28:46.260 And so I got a feeling this Somali type had no ability to read or write English.
00:28:53.000 And he was on depressive drugs.
00:28:54.500 Well, that's obviously the worst part.
00:28:56.460 But there's like a, it's like a three-leg parlay.
00:28:59.180 He shouldn't even be here.
00:29:00.320 He can't read or write, and he's on drugs.
00:29:02.480 And so that's where the five people get killed, right?
00:29:04.940 Yep.
00:29:05.340 And then this next part is a little bit of reading, but this explains how these trucking
00:29:11.600 companies employ them via third parties so they don't get in trouble themselves.
00:29:15.640 We're not going to read it all, but just the highlights.
00:29:17.320 All right.
00:29:17.540 Third-party carriers run cover for the megacorps by importing cheap, questionable labor and
00:29:22.100 bribing local governments to lower the standards on CDL requirements, parentheses campaign contributions.
00:29:27.260 This keeps freight rates artificially low for megacorps and continues to destroy small business, which they say is the real goal.
00:29:35.240 The megacorps can't hire these idiot guys directly because if they do, well, imagine the lawsuit on this wreck in particular, the one we were talking about.
00:29:42.780 If this were an actual Amazon truck with an Amazon employee, the lawsuit would be in the hundreds of millions.
00:29:48.060 The third-party companies have the minimum $2 million total insurance policy, and they fold the company when these wrecks inevitably happen.
00:29:55.560 They do that all the time now.
00:29:56.500 There you go.
00:29:57.260 So there's something bad happening, and there's kind of this energy around America in general, like we need these workers, we need these jobs, or people need these jobs, and they got to come and help us.
00:30:12.980 You guys buy stuff from big stores, right?
00:30:15.440 You get the stuff from Amazon, right?
00:30:17.600 But there's a competing interest of, yeah, we need people who can meet the bare minimum fucking standard to take these jobs.
00:30:25.080 And so there's these competing interests, and obviously immigration makes it so much more messy that they're kind of pushing people in.
00:30:31.340 And then imagine taking the test.
00:30:34.440 You know, this isn't the SAT to get into Harvard where you're spaced out.
00:30:39.300 I imagine you can probably squeak by with a couple corners being cut.
00:30:43.520 As long as you're close.
00:30:44.420 You know, the CDL test, I'm sure there's a written portion where, you know, you're looking over your friend's shoulder or something.
00:30:50.600 I don't know.
00:30:51.480 But obviously this type of guy would never pass and would never be hired for a real company, and so you get folded into some third-party thing.
00:30:58.880 And I guess this just goes on to our be wary of who's on the roads.
00:31:03.280 We've talked about car drivers.
00:31:04.620 You know, you're in Haitians in Springfield and people doing galaxy gas.
00:31:08.580 Galaxy gas, illegal immigrants without insurance, not to mention just the boomers, the old people who are, you know, haven't gotten a glasses prescription check in a long time driving at night.
00:31:19.360 But now it's trucks, and we thought those were safe.
00:31:22.140 So we thought that was the safe haven.
00:31:23.480 And to zoom out a little bit, I think another reason for AI to replace truck drivers would be what we're seeing here.
00:31:30.540 You basically ruin the workforce with illegals and DEI, and then you offer the solution.
00:31:36.340 Well, let's just use AI trucks and universal basic income.
00:31:39.920 Yeah.
00:31:40.240 That's kind of like the next step.
00:31:41.780 But we're going to get to that more later in the show.
00:31:44.460 All right.
00:31:44.960 We are now at our final page of housekeeping.
00:31:46.900 Use this opportunity to help us tickle us the post, juice the algo, leave a like, comment, comment again, notifications on, PO box full, all that stuff.
00:31:53.480 All right.
00:31:54.800 Our first clip, we actually have a video of Richard in Mexico.
00:32:01.220 There he is.
00:32:02.040 Scuba diving.
00:32:02.740 There's Richard scuba diving.
00:32:04.400 There he is.
00:32:05.120 That's my exact body.
00:32:06.340 Is that air coming out of your butt?
00:32:08.600 I think it's just an AI of you.
00:32:10.840 That's you.
00:32:11.340 But they said you.
00:32:12.200 They said Fleckes talks the podcast.
00:32:13.780 Richard scuba diving in Mexico.
00:32:16.800 There you go.
00:32:16.940 You got a lot of cool fish.
00:32:18.340 Jokes aside, here's us actually in Mexico at the wedding.
00:32:21.040 There you go.
00:32:21.580 We look very nice.
00:32:22.340 Yeah.
00:32:22.720 It was a very nice trip.
00:32:23.900 We're going to talk more about it in bonus land.
00:32:25.500 We've got some cool stories and decent insights into what's going on in Mexico.
00:32:30.260 A little sunburn, but if it doesn't peel, it turns to tan.
00:32:34.160 Yeah.
00:32:34.420 My lips split twice.
00:32:36.580 But I think it looks kind of cool because it's symmetrical.
00:32:38.820 Okay.
00:32:39.500 All right.
00:32:40.000 Next, Michelle Obama.
00:32:41.960 Mike Obama and her brother Mike as well.
00:32:44.960 They launched a podcast and here's them promoting it.
00:32:49.020 Yeah.
00:32:49.400 We don't even need to play the audio.
00:32:50.420 We don't need to play the audio.
00:32:51.440 We just need to acknowledge that they look exactly the same.
00:32:55.600 Crazy similar.
00:32:56.680 Very crazy.
00:32:57.640 Welcome to the podcast trenches, Michelle.
00:33:00.660 So when she released the show, she got 14,000 views in the first 12 hours, which is obviously
00:33:07.140 trash.
00:33:07.800 We outperformed that by a lot.
00:33:09.380 Yeah.
00:33:09.560 Lower than us.
00:33:10.260 And then the right wing media started reporting on the bad numbers and everyone kind of rushed
00:33:14.360 to the video to go find it.
00:33:15.620 So the views ended up going up.
00:33:17.560 Yeah.
00:33:17.900 But the comments are, I would say like 80% negative, maybe 90% negative.
00:33:23.600 And I would say 90% of the views are just right wingers going to see what the new podcast
00:33:29.360 is all about.
00:33:30.280 Yeah.
00:33:30.440 So it's absolute trenches for her.
00:33:33.480 It's a weird thing too, where you start a podcast now talking with your brother.
00:33:37.440 You missed the moment by 10 years to cash in.
00:33:40.940 You know what I mean?
00:33:41.460 Like this, this would have, people would have eaten this slop up in 2012.
00:33:45.980 Right.
00:33:46.200 Um, but it's just so weird.
00:33:48.880 And then why, why get involved?
00:33:51.640 And it would be one thing.
00:33:52.900 Imagine if Michelle Obama had a podcast where she was naming this and kind of showing you
00:33:56.660 inside baseball, nobody cares what you and your gay brother think about like any random
00:34:02.040 imagine like behind the scenes at the white house or like something crazy that happened
00:34:05.720 that we only saw a part of.
00:34:07.040 Here's what really happens.
00:34:08.080 And then here's this big bombshell secret.
00:34:10.460 And then you could make headlines, but they're just yapping.
00:34:12.800 They're just yapping.
00:34:13.460 And one of the parts was like, Oh, I taught you how to dance.
00:34:15.960 So welcome to the trenches.
00:34:17.900 Uh, it's a fight and you need to be buying views because otherwise you're going to get
00:34:22.100 smoked and I have a feeling comments are going to be off pretty soon.
00:34:25.080 Yep.
00:34:25.620 Good point.
00:34:26.500 All right.
00:34:26.920 Next we have a story here about people changing their eye color.
00:34:31.520 This is pretty interesting.
00:34:32.920 Can you give that a read?
00:34:34.240 Uh, did you know you can change your dark eyes to bright blue eyes with a simple surgery?
00:34:38.980 People are going, undergoing this surgery at an alarming rate is what it says.
00:34:43.100 So that's I think more evidence of white supremacy.
00:34:45.260 Hmm.
00:34:46.060 Why is no one going from blue to brown?
00:34:48.260 Wow.
00:34:48.720 Good point.
00:34:49.320 You know?
00:34:49.860 So, and I could barely talk like I'm Italian.
00:34:52.300 So I wasn't even considered white until like 30 years ago.
00:34:55.620 Yeah.
00:34:55.860 You're brown eyed, swarthy, but it happens a lot.
00:35:00.140 So that's that example they showed was like a middle Eastern guy, but it happens a lot in
00:35:04.040 the black community as well.
00:35:05.180 We have Beyonce in the two thousands versus Beyonce.
00:35:07.700 Now.
00:35:08.160 Now she's a cowboy, cowboy Carter.
00:35:09.980 Yeah.
00:35:10.220 Now she's a country singer.
00:35:11.240 I've seen the same thing with Mindy Kaling.
00:35:13.860 Yeah.
00:35:14.080 She got a lot lighter.
00:35:15.260 And you know who else?
00:35:16.440 Vivek Ramswami.
00:35:17.420 Vivek got a little lighter and I wonder what he's up to.
00:35:20.700 What do they do?
00:35:21.120 They just get a lotion and they just put it on?
00:35:23.040 A light bleaching?
00:35:24.140 I don't, I don't exactly know.
00:35:25.400 This Beyonce one is crazy.
00:35:27.160 Yeah.
00:35:27.360 That Beyonce one, I mean.
00:35:29.220 And then over 20 years, you can kind of do a lot, right?
00:35:32.060 Yeah.
00:35:32.340 So that's the, that's what's possible there.
00:35:34.320 And then everyone talks about white supremacy, but then you change yourself to look white.
00:35:38.120 It's a little ironic.
00:35:39.160 Yeah.
00:35:39.540 I don't know.
00:35:39.960 Nothing crazy.
00:35:40.660 Must be deeply ingrained in everyone's bones and everyone's white supremacist.
00:35:44.280 I don't, Indians.
00:35:45.240 I don't think about it at all.
00:35:46.720 I just do me.
00:35:48.280 All right.
00:35:48.880 Next we have a story that's going to hit home for a lot of us, especially me.
00:35:53.600 The headline says FDA cracks down on popular gay party drug poppers.
00:35:58.420 And that is RFK's FDA and you know, we were begging saying, Hey, RFK, take away their EBT
00:36:05.860 candy and soda.
00:36:06.580 Please take away their EBT candy and soda.
00:36:08.640 I had no idea he was even thinking about going for poppers.
00:36:11.700 He might be a confirmed bonus lander.
00:36:13.820 Bonus landers know how much we like poppers.
00:36:16.440 And that's probably why boss in the, in henchman maxing too, was getting so many poppers because
00:36:21.760 he was getting ahead of the band.
00:36:23.240 Yeah.
00:36:23.700 The food and drug administration is cracking down on poppers, recreational party drug popular
00:36:27.560 with the LGBT community.
00:36:29.740 And they've operated in a legal gray area for decades, masquerading as cleaning solvents
00:36:35.440 and nail polish remover.
00:36:36.920 That's kind of the, the thing.
00:36:38.640 It's kind of the same thing as whippets, which we've also covered galaxy gas.
00:36:42.260 They say, Oh yeah, it's to do whipped cream for a cake.
00:36:44.860 And then people are just sucking them.
00:36:46.860 It's all 16 year old black kids.
00:36:49.240 Actually white kids do it too.
00:36:50.640 So kids do it too.
00:36:52.200 But so yeah, actually we had a show watcher DM to me and said that they used to work at a
00:36:57.060 video store and they used poppers as like a VCR cleaner and all these gay guys would
00:37:02.440 come in and get the VCR cleaner 10 years after anyone had a VCR.
00:37:07.140 So all the gay guys have vintage ways of watching movies.
00:37:11.360 Yeah.
00:37:11.740 And then, um, a bunch of different producers have gone silent and scrubbed their internet
00:37:15.760 presence.
00:37:16.660 Uh, one guy commented to Buzzfeed.
00:37:19.120 He said, as far as I'm concerned, I sell nail polish remover.
00:37:21.720 And then he like hung up or whatever.
00:37:24.160 Um, and are we going to get into this?
00:37:26.060 Because ever since we did, we mentioned poppers so much, we just kind of loosely knew they
00:37:30.440 were a gay drug.
00:37:31.640 I didn't even know what it was.
00:37:32.840 And we didn't really know what it was for.
00:37:34.700 We're not going to get into that, right?
00:37:36.000 It's a little too disgusting for the audience.
00:37:38.020 It makes you, uh, loosen up.
00:37:40.540 It loosens the guys up.
00:37:41.680 The gay guys need to get loose.
00:37:42.940 So you don't have to, okay, chill out, chill out.
00:37:50.020 There's a, you know, that's why we didn't want to get into it.
00:37:52.140 That's why we didn't get into it.
00:37:53.640 Um, and then last thing, last thing, just because we're learning more about these things
00:37:57.400 kind of as they happen instead of just using them as a punchline in a henchman matching
00:38:01.560 special.
00:38:02.660 Um, a study published this month in, in clinical toxicology investigated an area in New York
00:38:08.000 city, uh, which poison control center saw an uptick in poppers poisoning.
00:38:13.100 So you can get, I didn't even know poppers poisoning was a thing.
00:38:16.520 So that's like top 1% gay guy stuff is, Oh, I got poppers poisoning.
00:38:20.640 I'm out this weekend.
00:38:21.720 Yeah.
00:38:22.220 I mean, they probably have a narc can type thing to reverse it.
00:38:25.040 Maybe.
00:38:25.320 I don't know.
00:38:26.040 I don't know.
00:38:26.560 We'll learn about that later, I guess, but crazy story.
00:38:30.000 RFK, please.
00:38:30.920 We still haven't forgot about their candy and soda.
00:38:33.380 Um, but thank you for cracking down.
00:38:35.040 Thank you for the poppers crackdown.
00:38:36.860 Show watcher confirmed.
00:38:38.560 All right.
00:38:38.780 Our last few clips, uh, as you guys know, I am the head of the best singers club and I'm
00:38:43.460 always looking for new clients and Oliver Tro's trying to extort me.
00:38:46.540 So in the meantime, I'm trying to find new talent.
00:38:48.580 I just found this guy and we are in talks.
00:39:06.860 A person with a very entertaining talent.
00:39:12.580 Yeah, that's good.
00:39:13.300 He's multitasking.
00:39:14.120 He's adding layers to this.
00:39:15.500 You like him better than Cho?
00:39:16.960 Uh, are you going to tell the story?
00:39:18.200 Oliver Cho, he's now giving you like deadlines and saying he's, he's, he's opening bids up
00:39:23.600 on his videos.
00:39:24.420 Did you?
00:39:24.780 Yeah.
00:39:25.060 He sent me a video and he's like, I'm going to make the sponsor whoever bids the most.
00:39:29.700 So he's trying to get Fleckus in a bidding war and he probably sends that DM to you and
00:39:33.920 like maybe one other person.
00:39:35.120 Who else do you send it to?
00:39:36.280 To create a false sense of scarcity to sponsor his horrible singing.
00:39:40.480 I left him on red because I've been finding new guys like our next guy.
00:39:43.840 Yep.
00:39:44.260 This guy.
00:39:47.400 Ha ha ha.
00:39:48.040 Shaolin shooter.
00:39:48.940 Yeah.
00:39:49.580 Ha ha ha.
00:39:52.360 Ha ha ha.
00:39:57.600 Yeah.
00:39:59.720 All right.
00:40:00.620 That's good.
00:40:01.360 He can join the team.
00:40:02.260 He's not really a singer, but it falls under the same umbrella.
00:40:05.400 Okay.
00:40:05.820 Yeah.
00:40:06.420 Um, there's something there.
00:40:07.640 I agree.
00:40:08.280 Okay.
00:40:08.560 I agree.
00:40:08.980 I'm not, nothing else to say, brother.
00:40:10.500 At least he's fair.
00:40:11.540 Cause if he was saying, no, these guys are nothing too, like Oliver, then you would be
00:40:15.880 crazy.
00:40:16.160 Well, and then when it comes time, when you go, when you come up to me and you go, I finally
00:40:20.800 got a deal done and you're Venmoing someone $300 to shout you out in a clip that'll get
00:40:26.900 no reach.
00:40:27.640 That's where I go.
00:40:28.560 All right.
00:40:28.900 Are you sure?
00:40:29.740 Is your 401k?
00:40:30.840 Where's that at?
00:40:31.700 3000 Mexican or a Chinese dollars or whatever.
00:40:35.280 Um, all right.
00:40:36.040 Our final clip of housekeeping, horse wrestling.
00:40:40.040 I don't think so.
00:40:43.080 This is a fucking Bronco, right?
00:40:46.160 Oh, did you know anyone was doing this?
00:40:52.340 Yeah.
00:40:52.480 This is how you like break horses and stuff.
00:40:54.440 Right.
00:40:54.780 And isn't that, don't they call that a bucking Bronco?
00:40:57.580 But you choke him and flip him back on, on yourself like that.
00:41:00.700 No, the horse freaked out.
00:41:02.860 So he wasn't trying to do that.
00:41:04.460 No, of course not.
00:41:05.440 He was trying to stay on the horse as long as possible.
00:41:07.780 I thought he was trying to do that.
00:41:08.940 Maybe I misunderstood.
00:41:10.000 And that's how you like break a horse and stuff like a wild horse.
00:41:12.620 They freak out and they don't want you on their back at first.
00:41:15.040 And then eventually they just kind of go, all right.
00:41:17.140 You break him.
00:41:17.640 You ride me.
00:41:18.240 And then it's called breaking a horse.
00:41:19.320 I believe.
00:41:20.000 I don't know.
00:41:20.460 I'm not a ranch hand.
00:41:21.780 I may be seeing an episode of Yellowstone or something.
00:41:24.480 Let us know in the comments if this is what they were trying to do.
00:41:27.580 That was not.
00:41:28.740 All right.
00:41:29.640 That is the end of housekeeping.

00:42:50.860 All right.
00:42:57.760 Thank you, Undertak.
00:42:59.040 Thank you, Undertak.
00:42:59.860 They really do make such comfortable clothes.
00:43:01.820 I have so many underwear, shirts, socks.
00:43:04.540 It's my favorite.
00:43:05.420 All right.
00:43:05.800 Hoodies too.
00:43:06.580 All right.
00:43:06.840 We have a great cringe this week.
00:43:09.100 It's not as trans-heavy as last week, but we'll make up for that on Friday.
00:43:13.740 First, we have...
00:43:14.440 I think that's good.
00:43:15.060 We got to vary it up, you know?
00:43:16.560 Yeah, I got to vary it up, it's called.
00:43:18.560 First, we have an Amazon worker who's complaining about working for Amazon.
00:43:22.300 I've been waiting on this day to tell you how much I hate this fucking house.
00:43:31.900 The waters, all the shit that you order, all of the shit.
00:43:34.480 I hate it.
00:43:35.460 I hate this house.
00:43:36.740 I hate that you order shit.
00:43:37.940 You are the fucking laziest fucking house in this whole goddamn neighborhood.
00:43:42.720 You're inconsiderate.
00:43:44.020 You're full of shit.
00:43:45.360 I fucking hate everything about y'all.
00:43:48.160 Okay.
00:43:49.260 So she wants them to stop ordering.
00:43:51.240 So what?
00:43:51.820 She doesn't have to do deliveries and can just drive the truck around all day, I guess.
00:43:55.480 Yeah.
00:43:55.800 They still keep her on payroll if no deliveries have to be made.
00:43:58.380 She can just listen to R&B in her car and be a mad, fat, black, lesbian one.
00:44:03.260 That's what they do, I guess.
00:44:04.440 That's what they're hoping for.
00:44:05.820 And in this situation, she's victimizing herself while calling the people who order the stuff lazy.
00:44:11.420 And meanwhile, the people who order the stuff probably have jobs or maybe they're old
00:44:14.800 and they can't carry stuff well or they don't have time to go to the store.
00:44:18.600 I mean, they have a nice house to afford.
00:44:21.380 Or a 90-pound woman who can't carry a 50-pound bag of dog food or something.
00:44:25.740 Yeah.
00:44:26.440 So, you know, they have the peasant class deliver them their shit.
00:44:29.180 I get it.
00:44:29.780 Yeah.
00:44:30.180 And I mean, it's one thing you complain, but to boil over and reach a boiling point and quit
00:44:35.240 and then go back to the house and start making fun of you.
00:44:38.120 I don't get it, man.
00:44:39.160 It's a certain mad type of person.
00:44:40.940 You got the dolly.
00:44:42.580 You got the tools.
00:44:44.080 This is your job.
00:44:45.120 You have something better to do?
00:44:46.180 Yeah.
00:44:47.160 You should be complaining to Amazon or whoever you're delivering for because I don't know what actually –
00:44:53.020 who's in charge of this, right?
00:44:54.520 Yeah.
00:44:54.960 Like, oh, they let me order the dresser online.
00:44:57.340 Yeah.
00:44:57.780 So you have to deliver it, right?
00:44:59.360 I order the dresser online, but you have to go pick it up from Ikea.
00:45:02.300 I'm not ordering online anymore, am I?
00:45:04.400 Yeah.
00:45:04.880 I feel stupid.
00:45:05.580 It's like when they deliver your Uber Eats and you live in an apartment and you have to walk downstairs.
00:45:10.040 Well, if I wanted to go walk to get food, I wouldn't have ordered Uber Eats.
00:45:13.380 Yeah.
00:45:13.600 So it's something I've struggled with in the past.
00:45:16.300 Oh, you don't say.
00:45:17.340 Jokes aside, that person obviously should be fired, and it's another –
00:45:20.440 I think it was probably their last day, and that's why they're coming in and talking shit, right?
00:45:24.020 So that's good.
00:45:25.080 And it's also another reason for –
00:45:26.680 On to bigger and better things.
00:45:27.720 She's going to go be a mad secretary somewhere.
00:45:29.840 Yeah.
00:45:30.560 And another reason for AI to replace her.
00:45:33.340 Yeah, it's getting dark.
00:45:34.440 AI – people are saying AI is coming for the trucking industry and also, like, deliveries and stuff.
00:45:38.920 Well, when you have this mad black lesbian doing the deliveries, people would probably say, yeah, an AI robot dropping it off isn't so bad.
00:45:46.880 Yeah.
00:45:47.360 All right.
00:45:47.940 Next, we have another person who's mad at work.
00:45:51.220 This woman, I think, is going on Starbucks strike.
00:45:54.480 At this time, the workers at this Starbucks will be walking out and going on strike.
00:46:09.600 We ask strike is to protest all the unresolved unfair labor practice charges and to push for improved wages, benefits, and staffing.
00:46:18.460 Starbucks has not acted in accordance with the path forward that they agreed to last year, and we deserve a fair contract.
00:46:24.260 We ask now that you exit the lobby alongside the baristas.
00:46:35.760 Thank you.
00:46:41.100 United will never be defeated.
00:46:44.280 The workers united.
00:46:46.680 So that chant, the chant at the end, I never understood it when I was doing my man on the street protest coverage.
00:46:53.460 They say the workers united will never be defeated.
00:46:57.980 The workers united will never be divided.
00:47:01.300 Is that what it should be?
00:47:02.620 That's what it should be.
00:47:03.460 Yeah.
00:47:04.020 Will never be defeated.
00:47:05.080 It doesn't even rhyme.
00:47:06.160 Yeah.
00:47:06.440 So I've always had a problem with that.
00:47:08.420 Also, another tip, if you're the Starbucks worker, don't go on strike if a teenager can replace you at your job.
00:47:15.100 I guess that's true.
00:47:16.160 I go back and forth with this, but unions in general for skilled labor and airlines and stuff, there's a lot of unions in America that are pretty good.
00:47:26.380 Yeah.
00:47:26.660 If you're driving a forklift or you're digging around in the sewer, I get it.
00:47:31.320 I got a feeling, though, that Starbucks employees just like the idea of a union more than the average employee anywhere else, and they kind of join up and try to do the strikes because that's the type of people they are.
00:47:42.860 Yeah.
00:47:43.080 Right?
00:47:43.400 It's like a self-fulfilling prophecy.
00:47:45.220 Starbucks is like, well, we hire this type of person, the blue hair, they, them, barista types.
00:47:50.280 Oh, and they try to unionize?
00:47:52.220 They're not grateful.
00:47:53.100 Get tucked in.
00:47:53.900 Yeah.
00:47:54.120 That's the bed you made, right?
00:47:55.260 So I don't know.
00:47:56.360 Exactly.
00:47:56.680 If your job is to write a name on a cup and then hand it to someone who pours coffee in it, you don't have much leverage.
00:48:02.820 And they were getting $17.50 an hour with benefits.
00:48:06.160 Yeah.
00:48:06.380 I think there were some – Starbucks is like a notoriously pretty good employer.
00:48:10.320 Yeah.
00:48:10.740 So –
00:48:11.680 Which leads me to believe they were going to unionize and do this no matter what.
00:48:16.040 Exactly.
00:48:16.580 And it gives you another reason to have AI replace them.
00:48:19.740 You know what I mean?
00:48:20.400 So are you pro-AI or anti-AI?
00:48:22.780 Because some of these workers suck so far.
00:48:24.840 I'm not.
00:48:25.240 I'm kind of like, well, maybe we should.
00:48:27.200 I'm anti-AI replacing the workforce, but then when you ruin the workforce first, it's going to not matter what I think.
00:48:34.140 That's actually a theme too.
00:48:35.520 Like right-wingers, Democrats have kind of become – tried to become the party of unions where the rank and file are a lot of right-wing kind of guys.
00:48:44.140 But then the leadership of those unions votes for Democrats and endorses Democrats aside from Trump or the unique or rare case where a Republican like Trump.
00:48:54.680 He's not exactly a typical Republican.
00:48:56.740 But I'm also way more open to supporting unions and collectivizing the employees when we don't have unfettered illegal immigration, right?
00:49:10.720 Very true.
00:49:11.300 And it's actually super easy.
00:49:12.920 So these same people who are like, well, our wages haven't gone up, and this hasn't happened, and no one is illegal.
00:49:19.040 Ah, what?
00:49:19.980 What was that last part?
00:49:21.520 We're on stolen land too?
00:49:23.040 So I don't know.
00:49:24.260 Ideologically, it just doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
00:49:26.380 And this girl wanted to give a speech.
00:49:28.440 Yeah.
00:49:29.060 She wanted to go on TikTok.
00:49:30.340 She wanted to stand up and get applauded.
00:49:32.160 No, no.
00:49:32.620 Starbucks is closed.
00:49:33.560 I guess I'll just go to the Starbucks two and a half blocks away.
00:49:36.820 Yeah.
00:49:37.240 Google says it's 1.2 miles.
00:49:39.560 I guess that'll change my morning routine slightly.
00:49:41.580 Goodbye.
00:49:42.520 Goodbye.
00:49:43.800 All right.
00:49:44.300 Next, we have a clip from another complainer.
00:49:46.620 Joy Reid is explaining why America is so racist.
00:49:50.380 I mean, and as somebody who's, you know, my parents, my father was from the Congo, and my mother was from Guyana.
00:49:57.320 And so they were the immigrants who came here on purpose, and they got the rude awakening.
00:50:00.420 My mother got the rude awakening, like, oh, it's racist, Terry.
00:50:04.340 That's weird.
00:50:06.720 It's racist.
00:50:07.520 They got a rude awakening from Congo and Guyana.
00:50:10.320 Yeah.
00:50:10.760 Like, the top five most violent countries in Africa.
00:50:13.420 They got a rude awakening that America was very racist.
00:50:16.780 And then your daughter becomes a millionaire talk show host who's on TV every day.
00:50:21.640 $3 million a year up until recently.
00:50:23.980 Yeah.
00:50:24.360 So that's pretty interesting how that works.
00:50:26.040 She grew up in New York, too.
00:50:27.420 Words are mean, but in America, but at least you didn't get machete chopped by a rival militant group in Congo.
00:50:35.580 Congo.
00:50:35.940 Exactly.
00:50:37.540 All right.
00:50:37.760 Our next clip is an almost accident at a boat rental, I believe, in Miami.
00:50:46.720 Uh-oh.
00:50:47.300 Hope he can swim.
00:50:48.160 That's what I'm saying.
00:50:52.240 That's what I'm saying.
00:50:57.280 White guy in after him.
00:50:58.900 Yeah.
00:50:59.220 Trying to help.
00:50:59.880 How do you go in the water if you can't swim?
00:51:02.700 Crazy.
00:51:03.160 How do you even go on a boat if you can't swim?
00:51:04.700 If you can't swim, you're on a boat.
00:51:06.040 Life jacket.
00:51:06.700 You need a life jacket and you should be worried.
00:51:08.840 These guys are out on the floating mat thing that isn't exactly safe that you could slip off of.
00:51:13.640 What's the thought process there?
00:51:15.620 It flows.
00:51:16.900 Yeah.
00:51:17.320 It flows.
00:51:17.820 I just won't get off the float.
00:51:19.120 It can hold me.
00:51:19.960 I ain't going to fall off.
00:51:21.560 And, you know, I don't want to just bring race into it or whatever,
00:51:24.400 but, like, the white guy saves them.
00:51:27.240 The two black people couldn't swim.
00:51:29.580 And, like, people give baby swim lessons.
00:51:31.920 Yeah.
00:51:32.080 We had a friend at the wedding who told us their babies are, like, six months
00:51:35.840 and they're doing swim lessons.
00:51:37.240 Like, just how to float and get back to the surface.
00:51:40.520 Like, anti-drowning stuff.
00:51:42.040 And so you make it to this.
00:51:43.320 You pay for the day out on the yacht.
00:51:45.120 And you don't even put a life jacket on.
00:51:47.260 That's what I...
00:51:48.080 I don't understand the putting yourself in a position without taking any precautions.
00:51:52.080 Because you drown and, like, nobody turns.
00:51:55.380 Everybody's distracted.
00:51:56.300 A cool boat's going by.
00:51:57.600 And you're just silently gasping for air.
00:51:59.620 And everyone's laughing, thinking it's a joke or no big deal.
00:52:02.660 Yeah.
00:52:03.280 That could have been a lot darker.
00:52:04.900 All right.
00:52:05.420 All right.
00:52:05.680 Our last piece of cringe.
00:52:07.360 We have some women preppers, some left-leaning women preppers who are now getting prepared
00:52:13.520 for a, I don't know, post-apocalypse Trump America.
00:52:16.240 They're preparing for something.
00:52:17.320 And they weren't preparing until this administration, is what I would say.
00:52:20.540 But it's from a Reddit community.
00:52:23.760 It said,
00:52:23.940 It took me eight months to get a gun license in a blue state.
00:52:26.560 Start the process now.
00:52:28.120 In my state, you need to take a gun safety class in order to get your license.
00:52:31.040 But after getting that, you need to make an appointment with the police chief of your town.
00:52:34.680 Appointments are usually scheduled six to 12 months in advance.
00:52:36.920 So I'm just posting to encourage anyone in a blue state to start the process as soon as possible
00:52:41.340 before it's too late.
00:52:42.640 So they're getting guns.
00:52:44.040 Yeah.
00:52:44.220 Uh, another one said, uh, we got some blank red hats to blend in.
00:52:49.440 We bought a pile of blank red hats that look like the awful ones they wear, but have no
00:52:53.880 message on the front.
00:52:55.040 Something worth considering.
00:52:56.400 Got them off eBay.
00:52:57.540 If stuff goes down, you can blend in a little better with that hat, but still not be shilling
00:53:02.420 for dum-dum.
00:53:03.440 Dum-dum is how we talk.
00:53:04.740 I hate to have to bow that far, but I'd rather be alive if we get through this than dead over
00:53:09.920 a hat.
00:53:10.520 And then this next one's my favorite.
00:53:12.100 If I end up on foot, what's the best cat carrier?
00:53:15.760 I've got cat transportation planned and set up for situations where I can use my car, but
00:53:20.120 I worry about having to abandon a car and go on foot.
00:53:22.800 I'm thinking a back front packs or a cross body bag would be the best.
00:53:26.560 Does anyone have any recommendations?
00:53:28.440 One cat, nine pounds.
00:53:30.240 To carry your cat around.
00:53:31.760 If the world ends and it's like an apocalypse situation, you let your cat go and your cat
00:53:36.320 is like the most likely to succeed.
00:53:38.600 They just eat bugs and rats and mice and they're fine.
00:53:41.180 They thrive.
00:53:41.760 They're actually better suited for survival than you.
00:53:43.820 He put them in the box.
00:53:45.040 We generated an AI image of the woman prepper.
00:53:47.620 And I actually, AI didn't do a good job.
00:53:49.460 I should have said overweight, more leftist leaning, but there's what the red hat, what
00:53:54.720 do these people think is happening?
00:53:57.660 You're a red hat cat carrying apocalyptic.
00:54:00.480 You have a gun.
00:54:01.280 You don't know how to work.
00:54:02.100 And it took you eight months to get.
00:54:03.460 It's so funny.
00:54:04.120 They post that gun thing on the website and they go, it takes eight months.
00:54:09.620 It's like, imagine you had a stalker ex-boyfriend or a real issue or a bunch of Muslims moved
00:54:14.100 in from the Biden administration and stuffed your small town.
00:54:17.080 Your stupid gun laws take eight months.
00:54:19.400 So that's your second amendment.
00:54:21.340 I don't know.
00:54:21.780 The swatting, the keying of Teslas, the now prepping for some weird scenario where you're
00:54:28.380 on foot with your cat having to blend into a MAGA crowd because you watched that Civil
00:54:32.640 War movie that Obama was a producer on or something.
00:54:36.580 It's all LARPing.
00:54:37.480 I don't know what's going on, but I just wanted to share.
00:54:40.040 It's very cringe and their reactions are telling.
00:54:42.920 Very.
00:54:43.520 All right.
00:54:43.820 Let's move on to Urban Decay.
00:54:47.840 All right.
00:54:48.380 Our first clip of Urban Decay is a pit bull attack.
00:54:51.960 And I'm just going to tell you now, the guy in the blue shirt does nothing.
00:54:55.280 I didn't have a dog.
00:54:57.680 Come on.
00:54:58.340 I don't have a chicken.
00:54:59.780 Oh, okay.
00:55:01.120 You doggie that.
00:55:02.460 Hey.
00:55:04.040 Hey, no!
00:55:05.020 Hey, no!
00:55:06.060 Hey, no!
00:55:06.880 Hey!
00:55:07.840 Hey, hey!
00:55:08.880 Hey!
00:55:09.440 Hey, hey, hey!
00:55:26.400 Hey, hey!
00:55:29.300 Hey, hey!
00:55:30.300 Hey, hey!
00:55:31.400 Hey, hey!
00:55:31.820 Oh, my God!
00:55:32.980 Oh, my God!
00:55:33.940 Oh, my God!
00:55:34.480 we can't play the whole thrashing video there but you see how flat-footed he was
00:55:52.420 the guy in the blue shirt just stands there and watches like it's a tiktok crazy and here's the
00:55:57.060 thing the point i'm gonna make here the woman who owned the white dog had a lot of time to pick that
00:56:02.140 dog up when she saw the pit bull coming and i'm saying this she didn't want to assume the pit bull
00:56:08.220 was dangerous because of stereotypes so she didn't want to offend the pit bull okay i believe that a
00:56:13.500 little bit like there's a lesson there there's an off-leash pit bull slowly approaching you and you
00:56:17.840 could yeah you could have a little yappy dog why don't you get the happy dog up you could have just
00:56:21.540 picked up your dog and if the loose pit bull ended up being nice congrats you pet a stray dog who ended
00:56:27.180 up being really sweet there you go you know and at the end we'll play it here in the background as
00:56:31.940 you can see a normal man comes and the issue is resolved in five seconds once he gets there
00:56:38.700 the normal guy comes with no shirt on and not to make this political because it is urban decay but
00:56:43.740 this is why the bad guys want us weak and low testosterone so all the pussy men team up together
00:56:50.620 to vote against the strong guy because they're weak individually on their own like the guy in the blue
00:56:55.960 shirt what do you think was going through his head you were in a dog fight recently yeah and i snapped
00:57:00.060 into action and fought the dog this guy's flat-footed holding something doesn't even get
00:57:04.120 the girl helps more than him what's going through his mind is oh man this is kind of crazy it'll
00:57:09.420 probably be over soon i just hope this ends soon oh hopefully this dog stops the guy is probably
00:57:14.300 addicted to pornography okay and he shouldn't be allowed to vote yeah and people are wondering we
00:57:19.220 saw you on that ring cam that pit bull encounter uh you're actually we unregistered you and you have to
00:57:23.940 go talk to someone if you want to appeal that yeah exactly so what and we actually discounted your
00:57:29.840 last four elections we purged you from the voter rolls it's over you're purged from the voter rolls
00:57:33.620 like an illegal yeah um but what do you do in the situation obviously number one you shoot the dog
00:57:38.360 number two and some people say this works some people say it doesn't you put your thumb in the butt
00:57:43.600 yeah and hopefully the dog hasn't had any poppers because it'll go crazy but yeah and the thumb in the
00:57:49.460 butt if it works or it doesn't you might as well try especially if it's something you've been wanting
00:57:53.700 to do anyway yeah that's good for a guy like you all right next we have a saint patrick's day fight
00:58:00.820 there they go we had a there we go there it is they're fighting everyone's fighting yep the
00:58:10.140 fighting irish black irish black irish exactly and you know this is kind of the only day where it's
00:58:16.960 allowed because the irish fight too white people are fighting on saint patty's day in chicago yeah
00:58:21.280 so you guys get a pass actually yep didn't expect that to be our urban decay commentary but you guys
00:58:26.700 do actually get a pass if there is a day for it to happen saint patrick's day enjoy um all right
00:58:32.000 next we have some houston highway twerking
00:58:34.560 car stops for no reason
00:58:41.280 what's going on here in the middle of the highway
00:58:46.960 oh there they go like a clown car five overweight black women jump out and start twerking
00:58:56.700 on an active highway on an active highway and the woman driving behind him is listening to christian
00:59:01.960 music probably on her way to do something nice yeah like uh picking up her grandson or something and
00:59:06.800 this is what she's met with so what does that mean what does that mean for us as a society
00:59:11.020 it means bad yeah too far apart from those two i would never do something like in high school we
00:59:16.640 used to do the chinese fire drill where you get at a red light and everyone switches seats but that
00:59:21.020 was at a red light and it just turned red this is on an active highway and then you know so all right
00:59:27.120 let's move on let's not get too uh bogged down by it i don't know i i just want to say like it's
00:59:32.600 interesting because it's supposed to be like this sexual display too like it's supposed to be almost
00:59:38.020 enticing or something you know like that's what they do to get like attention or something like
00:59:43.320 that and i'm just repulsed i'm very disgusted i it's i don't see it in that way at all i just
00:59:48.980 there's a hate that yeah rolls through me i'm not attracted to that at all yeah it's a good point
00:59:54.100 i don't know all right next there was a shooting that involved uh littering of chicken bones
00:59:59.000 something we've talked about on the show before yeah littering leftover chicken leads to a shooting
01:00:03.720 at rainier valley safeway so this is outside seattle a seattle police department investigation
01:00:08.840 uncovered that a shooting occurred outside of a rainier valley safeway monday night was spurred by
01:00:13.500 a man throwing a chicken bone out of his car window uh the man went to rainier valley safeway for
01:00:19.300 cheap chicken monday a little advice free advice you don't want to go to cheap chicken monday
01:00:26.440 ever cheap chicken monday draws a specific crowd we'll leave it at that that's what you want to
01:00:32.460 avoid he eventually launched a gofundme where he only raised thirty dollars we'll get to that while
01:00:37.980 eating in his car the man threw a chicken bone out the window hitting a car park next to him
01:00:41.720 a woman exited that car got hit with the chicken that that got hit with the chicken and started
01:00:47.180 yelling at him the two argued and at one point according to the police report she grabbed a pair of
01:00:51.440 scissors and tried slashing the man's tires the two eventually wrestled to the ground
01:00:55.560 a safeway security guard got involved in the scuffle separating them before the woman pulled
01:01:00.140 out a gun and shot the man in the leg the shooter's girlfriend exited the car and attacked the man as
01:01:05.220 well before they both drove off so it's lesbians they were lesbians and the suspect was not apprehended
01:01:12.480 the suspect is at large and i said i'm actually ready to talk to a police sketch artist for uh for
01:01:19.620 this woman the offender were you there sir no i wasn't but i'm still ready to sit down with the
01:01:24.640 sketch artist how would you describe the person five foot seven overweight black african-american
01:01:30.100 female very loud very loud just start drawing just start drawing and yeah here's the guy jesse's
01:01:37.200 medical bill relief fund and then then jesse he didn't i i didn't expect him to be a chicken bone
01:01:42.300 thrower well but that's why we tell you not to go but yeah thirty dollars raised on a 12k goal i thought
01:01:48.660 about donating but then i said eh chicken bone thrower exactly because that we talked about too
01:01:54.440 people littering the chicken bones as if it just like dissolves in into the dirt or something
01:01:59.080 biodegradable and it's you're throwing it on concrete and it's there for months all right our
01:02:04.040 next clip is a little kid getting interviewed uh man on the street style you're like bro i just want
01:02:10.420 to be just like my dad what's your daddy do bro he's shooting niggers whoa all right cut that cut
01:02:15.120 that so all right so what you want to be like bro i want to be a pip
01:02:23.280 like a why the fuck you want to be a y-ing because i said so and then they start fighting very nice and
01:02:33.480 as we know there's been studies done when you don't have a dad in the household the child is usually more
01:02:39.300 impulsive and unable to control their impulsive tendencies yeah and then if you do have a dad
01:02:44.820 who i guess didn't have a dad now you have an impulsive dad oh so no matter which way it goes
01:02:51.140 you're still kind of uphill climb against the impulsivity even one dad missing in a chain going
01:02:57.380 back time immemorial yeah can have ripple effects throughout time exactly and there's a meme online
01:03:04.380 that black kids should start in jail and then be released after years of good behavior very racist
01:03:09.260 meme very racist say that very mean would not say it it's very rude but it would work with this one
01:03:15.060 these kids are bad these are yeah and i don't know there's some junior prison or something these kids
01:03:20.240 would shoot you for nothing i think so long term yeah all right our last clip i always do this when
01:03:25.320 we see these kids or we see these interviews or somebody makes the news for something and when i know
01:03:29.880 their name i put on a google alert to see when they eventually get arrested and go to jail for
01:03:35.160 something yeah and i wish i knew these kids names because these are all gonna hit the google alert
01:03:39.680 i just don't happen to know them that's a good point all right our last clip of urban decay
01:03:43.840 people using ebt cards at burlington coat factory
01:03:47.220 don't show the numbers
01:03:49.680 if it works if it works
01:03:51.200 put it on pizza
01:03:52.780 oh my god oh my god
01:03:57.840 oh my god
01:03:59.000 oh my god
01:04:01.760 hilarious the laughing there is the most important part yeah because it kind of gives
01:04:19.220 away the game that they know this shouldn't work i'm gonna buy brand clothing and jordans or whatever
01:04:26.080 at burlington coat factory they know they're getting away with something they know it shouldn't work and
01:04:31.320 they don't care and think it's funny right yep so rfk man we appreciate the poppers yeah that was
01:04:38.640 huge that was great work no notes but there's leg two to this parlay major like you gotta take
01:04:46.000 away their candy soda and their burlington coat factory ebt cash brother exactly all right don't
01:04:51.280 get too down or too depressed we're moving on to uplifting gold our first clip from uplifting gold
01:04:57.140 is demi lovato before and after so we have a little meme here this is under biden's america
01:05:03.260 this is what she was talking about
01:05:04.460 also by like you know shedding some of those gender norms that had been placed on me as
01:05:11.780 a teenager or my whole life actually and
01:05:15.840 um i'm really excited to
01:05:18.280 share that experience with other people you know showing that
01:05:21.720 it it's it's so we are so much more than two categories
01:05:25.960 and it's not even it's it's so much more socially constructed than it even is medical
01:05:32.480 and here's her now
01:05:34.460 here's her now in the kitchen with long hair looking way more feminine apparently she got
01:05:41.180 a masculine boyfriend oh and she's cooking him pies and shit that's great isn't that nice that's
01:05:46.260 how it works because when you're not tethered to a masculine man you do whatever you think is best
01:05:51.480 and you're just floating with the wind wacky inflatable arms tube man yeah you're in the breeze
01:05:55.440 blowing thinking about gender shit whatever you get sucked into whatever article salon puts out
01:06:00.320 you victim of your own emotions oh my god yeah i why didn't i think of that salon and then you go
01:06:05.340 in interviews about it this is a great change i'm happy for yeah then you get a boyfriend and they
01:06:09.840 just go eh don't worry about that yeah do you know how to cook anything i'm hungry apple pie now
01:06:15.600 that's great there's like a natural blend there where the girl likes making an apple pie right
01:06:20.300 yeah she does but she just didn't have a strong enough man in her life to feel secure enough to
01:06:25.840 do just that okay so that's good that's uplifting another uplifting story bill belichick do you think
01:06:31.460 she'll be back depends a person like that also goes like this you know and they're bouncing around
01:06:36.780 forever so it's uplifting gold for now if the boyfriend breaks up with her in like a brutal way
01:06:41.920 or like cheats on her or something she's gonna buzz her head and get tattoos on her face yeah fat short
01:06:46.840 pink hair again yeah all right more good news bill belichick found love he's like 77 years old
01:06:53.460 yeah and he's got a 24 or 25 year old girlfriend and here's them doing stuff i guess bill used to do
01:07:00.120 as a kid yeah jupiter florida hanging out with his person it could be his granddaughter i don't know
01:07:07.640 all right you know he's having fun yeah good for him what do you think they talk about i don't know
01:07:12.560 not much sex probably mostly that when are we gonna do that we're gonna do that sex again hey
01:07:18.660 babe that was great last night how about again today um all right next we have uh raccoons on a
01:07:25.360 secret mission this is pretty cool the two guys are just making their way across that's cool right
01:07:33.160 that's uplifting oh yeah um i actually have deeper points for this all right raccoons really thrived in a
01:07:41.540 as a codependent like species or whatever off of humans coasting off humans they have the little
01:07:47.480 hands they can climb and grab stuff all they need to survive is trash they wait until night when there
01:07:54.420 are no humans doing anything and they have free reign that's a good point they're they're probably the
01:07:59.440 biggest winners of all of this humanity right that's so true i didn't think about that their
01:08:03.960 little hands they can climb so yeah good for them you know i wish they were more dog-like
01:08:08.320 that would be a final great piece of the trifecta okay yeah all right next uplifting story uh this
01:08:17.040 guy has a barbershop where he makes the kids read while getting their hair cut
01:08:21.380 all right that's nice that's uplifting what does he give them a discount or something for that
01:08:40.340 probably some sort of child discount if you read the whole time good uh next is a kid who shoots a
01:08:46.680 duck that has a tag on it which we'll explain after
01:08:50.660 oh my gosh man i'm just gonna bring a bag let me see it
01:09:00.020 so it's a banded duck i don't really uh like the crying that much okay but they're rare right
01:09:23.580 everybody all the hunters go for that yeah it's one in a thousand and they ban some ducks to track
01:09:28.300 their migration uh so if you get one it's rare and then you call it in and you tell them where
01:09:33.160 the duck was and then they can like see where the duck went i don't know they like to pay attention
01:09:36.680 where the duck goes all right okay that's uplifting yeah you you do this thing where you trail off and
01:09:41.940 then you don't care and the duck the duck does something well i liked it and he's doing something
01:09:47.500 fun and he's not on his phone and he knows how to read he knows how to read yeah that kid knows how
01:09:53.340 to read all right cries a little too easily but it's no big deal okay all right that was our last
