Human Events Daily with Jack Posobiec - THOUGHTCRIME Ep. 130 — Kool-Aid Pineapples？ Christian Energy Drinks？ Zoomer Hollywood Takeover？

00:00:00.640 From the age of big brother.

00:00:03.000 If they wanna get you, they'll get you.

00:00:05.240 DNS specifically targets the communications of everyone.

00:00:09.400 They're collecting your communications.

00:00:12.400 All right, folks, ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard.

00:00:23.640 We're here for, once again, this week's edition of Thought Crime Thursday.

00:00:29.160 We've got some excellent topics for tonight.

00:00:32.560 In fact, in this week, we've also got some live experiments

00:00:37.200 that we are going to be testing out here in the room.

00:00:41.260 Andrew, of course, is not on today, though,

00:00:44.340 so we may not be checking if he has his suit on.

00:00:46.680 Today is actually Andrew's birthday.

00:00:48.160 He is turning 50.

00:00:50.160 He's a very old man, and we are very, very excited for him.

00:00:53.660 And as such, yes, he has taken the day off.

00:00:57.360 But let's see who we do have around with us around the room.

00:01:01.760 I believe we have Russ Basie.

00:01:04.320 Who's Russ?

00:01:05.240 Howdy, howdy.

00:01:05.980 We've got Blake holding it down.

00:01:08.340 Hoorah!

00:01:10.160 And back after, I mean, the audience didn't really ask for him back, but he's here anyway.

00:01:15.380 It's Mikey.

00:01:16.740 Great topics, not so great guests.

00:01:19.960 No, no, the guests are a little lackluster.

00:01:22.920 What can I say? Scraping the bottom of the bargain bin for this week.

00:01:28.260 But we will persevere. We will indeed persevere.

00:01:31.840 What are we starting with, guys? What are we going with to start out?

00:01:34.800 Do we want to start with the energy drinks? Because I think that flows into our experiment.

00:01:39.260 I don't get the energy drinks thing. I don't even know what this is.

00:01:42.560 So you guys have to lead me through this one.

00:01:44.280 Russ, I think you're our biggest energy drink expert.

00:01:46.560 So introduce the Jesus juice.

00:01:48.720 Cheers, cheers, cheers.

00:01:49.740 Tell us about Jesus juice.

00:01:50.640 yeah so jesus juice um this has become a fad not that jesus juice right russ yeah yes no i actually

00:01:59.180 i've never tried any of these uh the these christian energy drinks but it's become a fad that

00:02:04.380 um content created christian content creators are starting to create these christian energy drinks

00:02:11.660 and to counteract the um you know the existence of uh monster and red bull and uh yeah well it's

00:02:24.160 it's actually kind of funny because this kind of goes full circle for me because when i first

00:02:28.980 started like drinking energy drinks i have a very um like granola mom so first off she was like oh

00:02:35.860 well it's bad for you it's you know it's gonna kill you all of this and then she started sending

00:02:41.280 me facebook stuff about the fact that like monster is like the mark of the beast and

00:02:47.260 all of this um all of this like demonic demonic stuff and actually we do have i found we found

00:02:55.640 wait hold on well hold on it is the mark of the beast apparently so that's a chart i have

00:03:00.620 seen this no if you can't see it this is i guess in this hebrew numerals yeah their way

00:03:05.580 showing six is very similar to each column on the monster it's true label that's kind of disturbing

00:03:13.780 have they come have they ever commented on this um i don't really what it looks like that's like

00:03:18.660 see that's see jack that's where i'm at too like i agree i'm like there with you i'm like i think

00:03:24.740 that's also just so i'll throw something else out that's that's also um in in greek isn't that just

00:03:30.620 symbol for for g for gamma um i have to look this up yeah i know i have to also uh gamma would be

00:03:40.040 the other direction i think yeah it's the other direction it looks like a all right well pretty

00:03:44.580 okay it looks like it's the other direction it looks like an f without the okay so monsters

00:03:49.400 but i mean like but it's pretty close to a number of other things that's all i'm saying okay so so

00:03:55.180 monsters demonic but now i'm looking here and we've got there's a lot i thought this would be

00:04:00.460 about one christian energy drink brand there's a lot but so okay we have we have yahweh energy

00:04:05.600 and they have the berry blessed flavor exactly we have agape energy with peach and preach and peach

00:04:13.700 and we have four given with the number four are there others are there more than these there's

00:04:21.560 they're coming oh there's praise energy that's the one that's most recent because the guy is

00:04:27.640 become very popular on TikTok

00:04:29.920 and so he was like

00:04:32.420 hey I'm coming out with

00:04:33.440 a Christian energy 0.89

00:04:35.780 Praise Energy's mascot Zion

00:04:38.060 the Lion

00:04:38.840 is a cartoon lion sporting

00:04:42.200 an I Heart Jesus t-shirt and high top

00:04:44.300 sneakers

00:04:44.840 and then there's Air Lion

00:04:48.400 whose mascot

00:04:49.540 feels like it should be a cartoon lion

00:04:52.500 but confused

00:04:53.180 Air Lion is just another brand

00:04:54.900 oh it's a totally different brand that doesn't have

00:04:56.740 a lion. How can there be this

00:04:58.820 many Christian energy drink brands? 0.71

00:05:00.640 How many energy drinks do you need to sell

00:05:02.580 to make a profit on these?

00:05:04.060 Because what they're doing is

00:05:06.340 these are all just white labels

00:05:08.820 for each various influencer.

00:05:10.980 So it's probably

00:05:12.760 not very much different in terms of

00:05:14.720 what's actually in the can.

00:05:16.860 It's what's different.

00:05:18.520 I'm just guessing.

00:05:20.320 What's probably being done is that they're being

00:05:22.660 made at one place and then each

00:05:24.800 person is getting their own label on it and then you know what goes out is like who gets who markets

00:05:29.560 what so who gets the um you know who gets the markup on it yeah it's kind of like what jake

00:05:34.140 paul did with um i assume that's what started his energy drink and that kind of stuff it's like

00:05:39.460 it's like if you're if you're at any influencer worth their salt you're gonna come out with an

00:05:44.500 energy drink at some point or a tequila company yeah yeah exactly so it's like every single

00:05:51.620 celebrity yeah so the natural follow-up to this i guess this is silly i find it funny but the big

00:05:58.120 question is is this is this good or bad or is it even a moral question is is it good for christians

00:06:04.880 and christian influencers to come out with a christian branded energy drink is this is this

00:06:13.280 grifting is this sinful to do is it totally fine are you representing the faith in the public square

00:06:19.300 kind of the way In-N-Out has Bible verses on their fries.

00:06:23.680 What's the right way to go about this?

00:06:25.520 Mikey, how do you feel about it?

00:06:27.540 I don't think there's any problem with this.

00:06:29.060 It's like, it reminds me of the right-wing economy

00:06:31.220 that we've built.

00:06:32.140 You know, everybody who's canceling conservatives

00:06:34.320 didn't let conservatives shop at certain places,

00:06:37.660 canceled their accounts, canceled their banks.

00:06:40.080 And then we came up with our own banking system.

00:06:42.200 We came up with our own right-wing economy.

00:06:44.360 And I don't think there's a problem

00:06:45.640 with Christians doing the same thing.

00:06:47.000 um but also like i i'm i'm i talked about this earlier like you see arabic writing and you

00:06:54.680 immediately think of islam like i want so much christian like this christian economy to be built

00:07:01.340 in the u.s that anytime you see english you just immediately think of christianity and i don't care

00:07:06.000 if it's like i don't care if it's energy drinks i don't care if it's a coffee company i don't care

00:07:10.320 if it's jeremy's razors like whatever it is as long as it is true and you know a good like a

00:07:17.260 good virtuous company that's not supporting planned parenthood and nasty things like yeah

00:07:21.280 build your own build your own company yeah and i think about i had a friend who went once to i

00:07:26.000 think it was ghana he visited and one of the things he said that stood out to him there

00:07:29.620 is actually how incredibly aggressively christian a lot of random businesses might be and so he

00:07:36.160 mentioned i think he saw like he died for your sins barber shop basically or like washed in the

00:07:42.800 blood of the lamb some other business bakery something like that something like that and i

00:07:48.620 guess that did actually sound pretty moving to me in the sense obviously they might be good or bad

00:07:53.300 christians but it is we often say if you are a christian people should know you're a christian

00:07:58.660 one of the best things about charlie is every single aspect of his life was pervaded with faith

00:08:04.620 and i guess it would sound a little picky to then if someone releases oh i'm gonna release an energy

00:08:11.240 drink to go with my brand and yeah it's going to have christian labeling on it because i'm a christian

00:08:15.460 i guess it would be weird to get too upset about it but i can definitely imagine versions of this

00:08:19.340 that would be upsetting to me but it'd probably be upsetting for the same reason a non-religious

00:08:23.620 brand might be upsetting fair i think the i think the the counter are the counterweight

00:08:31.620 in my head with all of this is that the problem today is that a lot of people do not take

00:08:38.180 pride in their work or they turn something like this specifically when it comes to influencers

00:08:45.160 this becomes just a gimmick so then they're put they don't care what what's in the product

00:08:50.240 they don't care how it's made and so then you're now you're just hey it's just a gimmick and at

00:08:56.280 the same time when you look at like you know the bible talks about that we uh that we're supposed

00:09:00.820 to be hard workers and and everything um i think i i think if you're going to make if you're going

00:09:10.220 to put christian labeling on any type of product you need to make it needs to stand up to other

00:09:19.340 products and and and show that you've actually put in you know the work and the effort in my

00:09:26.060 opinion you know what do you think i agree with that um yeah no i i disagree completely i think

00:09:33.340 this is incredibly simple um i'm just gonna say like i i think this is really immoral um unless

00:09:40.000 people are like giving these away for free or something like if you're making money off of like

00:09:44.600 selling stuff in in the name of christ like what is wrong with you you know if unless you're not

00:09:50.000 donating like the vast mass majority of revenue that comes in from this to um you know to some

00:09:57.120 kind of charitable organization or you know to an actual christian organization then like and

00:10:01.380 but if it's just influencers doing this like i mean that's that's like like yeah that's that's

00:10:06.720 like kind of stuff you go to hell for like you don't you don't use uh christ's image and likeness

00:10:12.920 as a way to put money in your pocket you just shouldn't do that and uh this is obviously we

00:10:17.820 see jesus in the bible being very very explicit about throwing the money changers out of the

00:10:22.720 temple that you are not supposed to mix these two things uh so yeah i i actually just i hadn't

00:10:27.800 known about this i'd never heard about this huge problem huge what about so where does the divide

00:10:32.840 because i can imagine for example christian bookstores exist that sell christian books or

00:10:38.620 we're having a passion of the christ sequel come out that is i believe going to be a for-profit

00:10:44.480 film certainly the actors in the film are all yeah for profit Mel Gibson is going to be making

00:10:48.880 money off of that yeah so is there what things are acceptable and what things aren't I suppose

00:10:54.660 in your view Jack yeah well again I mean you're you're making an apples to oranges comparison

00:10:59.140 you're comparing like going to see a movie or which which again tells the story of Christ or

00:11:03.900 going to read a book which tells the story of Christ or has some analysis on Christ that's not

00:11:08.140 going into some influencers pocket right you're you're talking about something that's mass media

00:11:12.360 versus just like a cheap product but i'm not sure i see i see the difference there like or could you

00:11:18.320 could you do it with the product so for example let's say the product let's say the product you

00:11:22.220 can't actually include i get what you're trying to say but they're not the same to the gospel

00:11:25.700 on it somewhere like right next to the nutrition facts or something it could be like

00:11:29.120 some brief repentance in and out no like in and out i think does it the right way i think even

00:11:36.080 though as as as everyone knows i i i i agree with jack i do it the right way i do it like it's super

00:11:44.280 cringe is it cringe or are they going to hell because you said that this this is the stuff

00:11:49.200 people go to hell for so you're saying this is definitely this stuff if you don't if you don't

00:11:52.300 ask for forgiveness for this kind of stuff you will go to hell yes okay so the influencers

00:11:56.040 selling this are going to hell yes okay where is that biblical exactly yeah well um again throw

00:12:03.020 I literally just gave you the example of throwing out the money changers.

00:12:06.900 Christ flipping the tables?

00:12:08.720 Yeah.

00:12:09.680 How does that draw a comparison?

00:12:12.820 Are these in the temple?

00:12:13.300 Yeah, exactly.

00:12:15.860 Again, you're being very word-centric.

00:12:20.120 As Christ said, we're not supposed to take the—it's the spirit of the law versus the letter of the law.

00:12:25.460 So what he's saying is you shouldn't mix worship with commerce.

00:12:31.360 That's the point.

00:12:32.180 well okay but let's go back to the movie then i think then you could argue then they shouldn't

00:12:36.340 sell tickets for the movie they should only put on broadcasts of the movie and people can go for

00:12:41.580 free if i were if i were going to put out something religious like like you know in in this

00:12:48.380 vein um you know i would i would definitely do something with the profits that wasn't going

00:12:54.720 directly in my pocket 100 i wouldn't put that on my ledger okay absolutely but a lot of these

00:13:01.320 people are not like that's kind of the thing is like a lot of this stuff is it's all for profit

00:13:06.560 mel gibson's movie talking about jesus is for profit it's showing the likeness of jesus

00:13:12.480 he's probably going to donate some of it but a lot of that is going to be to pay him it's to pay

00:13:19.200 the actors it's to pay you know it's to pay all of these people i'm not saying don't make movies

00:13:23.340 about jesus i want to be clear about that i'm not saying don't make movies i do also think that

00:13:27.000 movies are a fundamentally different thing which for some reason you guys don't seem to understand

00:13:30.320 I'm not sure. I'm not sure I see

00:13:32.240 You're all much younger and more immature than our old friend Andrew

00:13:38.320 Of course 1.00

00:13:38.680 Because you're young, you're stupid, right 1.00

00:13:42.020 Well, generally, yes 1.00

00:13:44.520 Young people are pretty stupid 1.00

00:13:46.480 But no, I think 1.00

00:13:47.500 I'm not sure I see the clear-cut distinction here 0.74

00:13:50.660 I will agree with Jack

00:13:52.200 You can't sell a movie and an energy drink?

00:13:54.180 And a white-labeled energy drink?

00:13:55.680 No, I don't

00:13:56.300 They're both consumer products 1.00

00:13:57.520 Can't sell Christian merchandise

00:13:58.320 you don't see a white labeled energy drink in a movie like really no i don't i don't see i don't

00:14:04.120 see the movie i don't see the difference in terms of this is a commercial product you will pay money

00:14:09.940 for other people will pay money for and it will enrich somebody if this product does well and so

00:14:17.600 if you were saying these drinks might be okay if someone was giving them away well they're not

00:14:22.540 giving away the movie i've also said and by the way i'm consistent on this i've also said in the

00:14:26.780 past that i'm uh i'm not a fan of those those apps where like you pay to pray they have like

00:14:32.800 they have like fees that that you can pay along to to pray like like oh we've got pray extra with

00:14:39.420 this fee and and pay and it's like i'm not a fan really yeah that caused a lot of problems for the

00:14:44.680 church 500 years ago too yeah uh no no i i think i think this is a genuinely very interesting topic

00:14:50.700 because again like i'm thinking as an example let's say you're running a a barbershop so let's

00:14:57.620 just use a barbershop as an example well i can explain the difference very clearly

00:15:01.140 if you want me to explain the difference okay one one so a story that a film that shares the story

00:15:09.320 of christ to a to a mass audience is is by is inherently uh going out into the world and sharing

00:15:18.280 the gospel a an energy drink that is just an energy drink with a picture of jesus on it is

00:15:23.700 just extracting money from a community of christian followers and putting in your pocket okay but what

00:15:30.140 if they put bible verses on the drink what if they pay to have the drink or they market to have the

00:15:34.660 drink in neutral environments where it could be encountered by a non-believer i think it if you

00:15:41.040 didn't call it yahweh juice or whatever they called it then and it just had bible verses that'd be

00:15:45.240 fine i i'm on i'm a little two-sided on both of this because i think i am a fan of subtlety

00:15:53.880 in the sense just what jack said in and out is a perfect example if they're not throwing it in

00:15:59.740 your face but if you happen to look at the bottom of your cup you're going to see a bible first

00:16:04.000 at the same time perfect another perfect example is chick-fil-a like they are very clear on what

00:16:10.640 their organization's morals are and yes they've taken a bigger stance than a lot of companies by

00:16:17.580 saying hey we're not going to be open on sundays but it's not it's not in your face right culture

00:16:22.840 has pretty much accepted that hey i can't go to chick-fil-a but when we say i think when we say

00:16:26.440 it's not in your face what do we actually say i think a lot of people just say they don't want

00:16:29.860 it in their face because they think it's kind of annoying if something is wait wait wait is it

00:16:33.620 actually bad or immoral to extremely loudly say this is christian here is christianity

00:16:40.580 here's all this christian stuff in your face that might be annoying but is it wrong i'm not sure if

00:16:47.460 it is no no and by the way i've i'm also not i'm also um you know i've also said many times that

00:16:53.580 i'm a huge fan of like street preachers when you know we had that street preacher in uh in chaz

00:16:59.320 um you know years ago i was right there able to interview him when he got assaulted you know

00:17:04.260 that's something i think those guys are great i think they're absolutely great but again they're

00:17:07.760 they're not, they're not charging people like this. Um, and again, the, this, the sin doesn't

00:17:12.300 come just from the activity. It comes from what's in the person's heart. So I, you know, it could

00:17:16.880 be something where they don't realize that how sinful it is. Um, you know, something where they

00:17:21.980 may need to understand later. The, the one I want to give you example, a better example of though

00:17:26.080 is have you, are you guys familiar with sweet frog? Have you heard about sweet frog? Do you

00:17:29.440 know what that is? It sounds like a yogurt company. It is a, is a yogurt company indeed.

00:17:33.420 oh wow and it's yeah it's in the it's in the dc area which is which is maybe why you've heard of

00:17:39.440 it um and so it's sweet frog uh yogurt and you know i i just know it because it's a it's a

00:17:48.520 yogurt brand in the area i mean they have about um 300 350 different um you know apparently they

00:17:55.240 have one in scottsdale as well and uh you know they have a bunch of locations whatever but here's

00:18:00.700 what i didn't even know and until uh tanya mentioned it to me the other day that apparently

00:18:04.440 frog in sweet frog is a reference to christ what even if their mascot is a frog yeah i know okay

00:18:14.200 i looked this up i thought it was yogurt company because in fact there was a sweet frog a block

00:18:17.620 from my place in dc and i went to it i didn't know it was a christian thing no no you never

00:18:23.480 know that so to rust to your point this is where like the subtlety goes a little bit too awry

00:18:28.400 because it's like too clever by half and and they say um you know frog okay so frog the frog part

00:18:39.440 of the name stands for fully rely on god which is bizarre to me almost reminds me of uh nintendo

00:18:49.080 yeah the video game company technically i mean they're not christian but their their japanese

00:18:53.200 names essentially like leave it to heaven

00:18:55.120 more or less like heaven's

00:18:57.060 providence. Really? I'd never known that.

00:18:59.240 That's cool. Yeah. So I want to get a few

00:19:01.240 because we have the chat getting them all. First,

00:19:02.940 Zuzu's Petals is always around and

00:19:04.880 she points out that

00:19:07.140 Hope Harvard had a Christian makeup

00:19:09.120 line and she spoke at the Young Women's Leadership

00:19:11.260 Summit in the past. Nice.

00:19:13.600 That strikes me as, I

00:19:15.160 guess I don't know the details of this makeup brand, but

00:19:17.200 I think that's just a good example of, and

00:19:19.200 also we should note, Erica herself

00:19:21.140 has Proclaim, which is

00:19:22.500 christian to mikey's point but there's a difference between being like being christian

00:19:28.580 and like saying that that this is christ you know what i mean um yeah no i think even christian in

00:19:37.100 general and like having crosses and different things and saying that you're yahweh jews could

00:19:42.540 could the problem be specifically putting jesus on the can i i agree with that i could see that

00:19:47.220 i see that because i mean i think that's a big part of it i think that's i think that's a good

00:19:51.880 point uh i also want to get sandra because she's also says jack uh specifically on the point of

00:19:57.200 view of the can and it mostly being sold to christians jack if you carry the drinks around

00:20:01.300 and others see it they might in turn see that you are a christian and start conversations

00:20:05.800 similar to wearing a faith-based t-shirt so uh do you have any thoughts on that from sandra

00:20:11.820 yeah again i i think that being christian in public is good um i i have obviously advocated

00:20:19.400 for that for many years. But at the same time, you know, I don't think you should put money in

00:20:24.000 your pocket for it. People got on me about, you know, having a rosary, for example. And, you know,

00:20:29.640 people say, oh, Posobiec is like selling the rosaries. And in fact, I've I've always turned

00:20:35.380 down whenever anyone's offered me any partnerships for that. I said, no, I'm more than happy to post

00:20:40.500 it. I'll tell people where they can get, you know, whatever rosary it is that I'm you know,

00:20:44.660 that I that I have. But I just I wouldn't feel right taking money for that.

00:20:48.500 yeah i think the best argument russ was what you made at the beginning like in jackie you

00:20:53.560 mentioned this these are just a bunch of white labels and they're not checking the quality of

00:20:57.260 this they're not it's more of like a get rich quick thing um i think when it's sinful is buy

00:21:03.100 this because you know god wants you to buy this buy this because you know god wants us to support

00:21:08.900 each other buy this because prosperity gospel instead of christians participating in the

00:21:14.240 you know saying that they want to glorify god through their business but i i do want to say

00:21:19.980 i don't think that this is like a hell driven thing like i don't think you're going to go to

00:21:24.480 hell for doing this in fact and i don't want to throw the baby out the bath water water either

00:21:27.900 like erica participates with proclaim street wear like does this also mean does this also mean that

00:21:34.060 like worship artists who are getting paid for their worship songs i mean they're going to hell

00:21:38.640 um I think I think I do and it's it's kind of like Blake helped me you know uh put it in words

00:21:47.420 better was that you know the reason the difference is because you're not walking around saying like

00:21:52.760 Yahweh clothes or you know Yahweh band it's it's just songs about God that's that's a band that

00:22:00.520 is Christian or a a apparel company that is Christian it's different when you're you know

00:22:07.460 really just kind of leaning in and using jesus as like a brand that you can make money off of

00:22:13.920 i can yeah like a mascot i think i have an element of you know it when you see it this is why i also

00:22:18.380 have a problem with christian like the the like pro like the christian movie side of things where

00:22:24.200 it's just it's so forced and then the quality isn't good well sometimes it's just bad because

00:22:29.800 it's bad but yeah but that's the point right that's the quality part right um yeah that's

00:22:36.760 that that is so a similar comparison here just because it makes me wonder if people are doing

00:22:43.060 that because they just want to make money from a christian audience then that would be sinful

00:22:46.740 if they're actually not caring because i think who's to say that these energy drink companies

00:22:53.020 like who's to say some of the owners of these don't actually have a good heart behind this and

00:22:57.960 who's to say they don't actually have yeah exactly which is like woe to you who calls evil good and

00:23:02.340 good evil like don't be so quick to judge what if they are actually donating a majority of their

00:23:07.900 profits to charities and churches if they are like i'm going to be quicker to give them the

00:23:14.480 benefit of the doubt than i am to say that they're going to hell but one last question on this and

00:23:19.100 then i think we'll have to move on because we have a very fun food related topic like money

00:23:22.640 changers yeah but so i real one final question is is there a difference so we're talking about

00:23:28.040 products here with an energy drink let's suppose a nominally neutral business i mentioned a

00:23:31.920 barbershop but maybe a restaurant too like let's imagine an italian restaurant but maybe it has a

00:23:37.380 biblically inflected name like bread of life or something and then it's maybe the restaurant has

00:23:43.720 a lot of religious decorations in it might have crosses on the wall might have jesus art and

00:23:50.200 various but it's just you can imagine a very aggressively christian restaurant when you're

00:23:54.480 in it and obviously you can't really make jesus food it's it's just going to be normal food but

00:24:00.620 But is it exploitative to make your restaurant extremely aggressively religious in the sense that you might be blackmailing is too aggressive of a word?

00:24:10.840 But you're trying to essentially cash in to some extent on I want Christians to want to come here because it's a super Christian restaurant.

00:24:18.620 I think, yeah, Blake, so is the word you're looking for perhaps Christploitation?

00:24:24.920 Yeah, Christploitation potentially.

00:24:26.660 Yeah, so Christploitation is bad.

00:24:29.140 Being Christian is good. 0.98

00:24:30.620 That's where I'm going to fall on.

00:24:33.360 I think to Mikey's point, it all has to do with the heart, right?

00:24:37.840 It has to do with, is the owner a Christian that he wants that in his store?

00:24:44.660 If that's the case, then, but to your guys' point, 0.68

00:24:47.420 if he's just exploiting, hey, I can make money

00:24:50.880 because Christians will be gullible enough to come to my restaurant

00:24:54.960 because they see all of the iconography, then, you know. 0.86

00:24:57.480 But also to Jack's point, it's James, I think James three, one, which is just teachers are

00:25:03.300 held to a more strict standard and they'll be judged to a more strict standard.

00:25:08.120 So if you are doing this in a way, you are a teacher.

00:25:11.180 And so you do actually really need to make sure that your heart is in the right place

00:25:15.140 because if it's not in the right place, and this is just like a prosperity gospel money

00:25:19.500 grab thing, that is a problem that you are sinning in the, in the midst of that because

00:25:25.340 you are technically a teacher.

00:25:26.400 You're sharing the gospel.

00:25:28.200 You're participating in sharing the gospel.

00:25:30.620 You're putting it out there.

00:25:31.740 And then one of you guys said it earlier, this could lead to conversations about Christ.

00:25:35.100 If that's your heart, that's a good thing.

00:25:38.440 But my house shall be called a house of prayer, and you are making it a den of robbers.

00:25:43.940 All right.

00:25:44.380 Well, speaking of hearts, we need to talk about something that might cause heart failure.

00:25:48.860 So we have another food-related endeavor.

00:25:51.980 This has gone viral, and I saw it, and I thought, we've got to get into this.

00:25:56.400 All right, so we have highlights.

00:25:57.780 There is a new fad of food.

00:25:59.440 It's on TikTok.

00:26:00.280 It's on Instagram.

00:26:01.400 It's on every online platform.

00:26:02.840 It's everywhere.

00:26:03.300 It is people putting pineapples and Kool-Aid.

00:26:49.420 Oh, no! 0.98

00:26:53.260 Let's go. Hold back. 0.96

00:26:55.140 Right there.

00:27:01.520 juicy huh i appreciate you dog so for those who can't see this is the latest hot trend 0.76

00:27:09.680 uh in the black culinary world they are making containers of kool-aid they're adding extra

00:27:16.100 sugar to it and then they are soaking pineapple spears in it and they're leaving them overnight

00:27:22.140 to flavor them and i saw that and i only had one thought enter my head i've got to try this and so

00:30:15.120 Yeah, they really do.

00:30:15.940 Here, do you want to swap them?

00:30:17.240 I got to try one of each. 0.91

00:30:19.360 Otherwise, I'm a coward.

00:30:20.760 Did you drink the liquid, Blake?

00:30:23.100 Can you give it a gulp?

00:30:25.440 I'm not slurping the liquid.

00:30:27.620 that's uh that's a way to die that way lies perdition we were just talking about what could

00:30:33.600 make you go to hell uh well i'm i think i think gluttony is a sin and i think literally just

00:30:38.680 drinking half a cup of sugar in your kool-aid water because you're just that decadent for 0.94

00:30:43.660 sweetness that might that might violate a commandment no i'm not doing it either 0.75

00:30:47.980 blacktivities all right so this is black cherry so here's the problem with slurping it you cannot

00:30:55.520 see through this that's the that's the issue there's so much there's so much stuff in here

00:31:01.800 that you just can't that's a problem to me that's too much black black cherry kool-aid

00:31:08.140 pineapple is amazing i mean i'm giving that my full unambiguous maximum endorsement that is

00:31:14.240 amazing you guys gotta you guys gotta go get this it takes 24 hours this is my favorite wow

00:31:20.560 this is my favorite uh definitely not maha approved just so everybody's aware oh yeah

00:31:28.600 when i i think alex clark shamed me on x when i could you okay but could you could you make

00:31:33.960 a maha version of i mean you're talking about pineapple and sweet flavoring could you make

00:31:40.460 a maha version of this could i mean yes but like i don't know if it would taste i think it would

00:31:47.380 just be more pineapple forward at the end of the day now i'm imagining like healthy kool-aid and

00:31:53.920 you put in stevia or something stevia absorbed pineapple stevia might not taste great i feel

00:32:00.820 like that you would lose some of the spirit of it because i think part of the spirit of this is it

00:32:04.220 is a completely ridiculous food to actually consume dylan in the chat goes watch blake

00:32:09.220 pull up to the hood to get his

00:32:10.900 fix. Oh, 100%. No, this is great.

00:32:17.340 Grape's good, too.

00:32:18.560 This is definitely

00:32:20.400 a nice little snack,

00:32:23.100 but don't make this a normal

00:32:24.940 thing, because...

00:32:27.120 Alright, you guys, I mean, I hope

00:32:29.040 everyone should get this.

00:32:31.020 This is amazing. Everyone

00:32:32.740 in chat should try Kool-Aid

00:32:35.120 pineapple. At least try it.

00:32:36.740 It's a fun little activity.

00:32:38.280 All right.

00:32:38.800 I'm so glad we did this.

00:32:39.780 But we have another topic to get to.

00:32:41.460 We can't marinate too long on Kool-Aid Pineapple. 0.78

00:32:45.400 Jack, you wanted to talk about the downfall of the boomers in Hollywood. 0.99

00:32:50.680 They're finally being vanquished.

00:32:53.100 Well, I wasn't so sure if I saw it as much of a generational play in this,

00:33:02.180 because it's more than just this,

00:33:03.900 But I more wanted to talk about the fact that Star Wars specifically has been beaten at the box office, this movie Mandalorian that we led a boycott on.

00:33:18.880 And then some people decided to not actually listen to, which is kind of weird when you give the audience a mission and then the host of the show just don't follow it.

00:33:29.340 But, you know, whatever.

00:33:30.520 We'll figure out how to do podcasting one of these days.

00:33:32.400 and um or like political movements but the the situation here is that

00:33:39.460 this movie that was made or by a youtuber um and then the movie backrooms which so that was the

00:33:48.140 movie obsession then the movie backrooms which is based on you know really just an online uh

00:33:54.280 creepypasta which turned into kind of a youtube trend both have beaten star wars in the past

00:34:02.340 week at uh at the box office and i think that's huge yeah backrooms and obsession yeah i'm looking

00:34:12.580 at i'm looking at the gross chart now resident so you're a resident media guru can you give us sort

00:34:17.320 of the you know the backstory on those two films obsession and and and backrooms just for anyone

00:34:22.460 someone has no idea how you know how it worked they didn't really come up the traditional way

00:34:27.560 did they no so the directors are so the directors are uh they're zoomers right zoomers like youtube

00:34:34.060 youtube guys and i mean yeah this also leads into um you know jack you and i talked about it when we

00:34:41.540 were um when we were at the uh all american halftime show was the other movie that came out

00:34:48.180 from a youtuber which was iron lung um what's that yeah exactly and that was based off of a

00:34:55.000 video game but he's uh markiplier is the one who directed that and that jack you saw it did that

00:35:02.700 that made its money back didn't it like uh i have to double check i'm pretty sure it did pretty well

00:35:08.540 yeah um iron long i liked i liked it a lot i thought that it could have used a little bit

00:35:14.200 of editing it was it was over two hours um which is ambitious for a movie that only has like one

00:35:19.880 one actor in it um yeah i mean there's some other characters in a few scenes but no it was a smash

00:35:26.280 hit um he spent three million on it it made 50 million at the box office and to that point i

00:35:32.980 think this comes down to what we're starting to see is this resurgence of of movies that

00:35:38.760 are lower budget that are actually speaking with two audiences in a way that are being able to

00:35:47.720 take over the box office and push something out like a franchise like star wars well it's funny

00:35:54.140 you say that because someone was saying oh star wars this big franchise got beaten by back rooms

00:35:59.660 and someone chimed in to basically say actually you only think that because you're over 40 if

00:36:04.280 you're actually under 30 this is a film that is already about a well-established franchise and i

00:36:08.640 went and i looked it up i'd never heard i'd heard of the back rooms creepypasta but i hadn't heard

00:36:12.800 of the series the first movie in the youtube series that inspired that movie has almost a

00:36:18.080 hundred million views wow wow yeah but it still started with a creepypasta there's no there's no

00:36:24.160 i mean that's just obvious that which is kind of the point 100 but what it's saying is there's

00:36:30.440 actually an established franchise such as it is of videos i think there's 30 entries it's like 30

00:36:37.240 episodes it'd be like in a sense it's the modern version of making a film out of a successful tv

00:36:41.820 show and there's a lot of

00:36:43.840 successful TV shows that have not had a hundred million

00:36:45.900 people view their first episode

00:36:47.240 but apparently that's the case for Backrooms

00:36:50.000 it's making

00:36:51.980 me aware of, by the way

00:36:53.580 and Backrooms started

00:36:55.840 on 4chan, which is crazy

00:36:57.700 so it did actually start on 4chan, so here's

00:36:59.820 a question, so

00:37:01.680 what we're talking about though isn't necessarily

00:37:03.920 the establishment of the franchise

00:37:05.420 what we're talking about is the fact that there

00:37:07.760 are now new paths to

00:37:09.780 get to a wide audience which is very similar to what we did with the turning point halftime show

00:37:14.600 we you know we use podcasts we use um you know conservative media independent media to be able

00:37:21.580 to get to this mass wide audience you see this in elections with turning point action does the exact

00:37:26.580 same thing we're using non-traditional means to reach out to these audiences and we found success

00:37:32.620 with that in terms of the viewership uh they're seeing huge success at the box office and it's

00:37:36.920 kind of just showing that the traditional gatekeeper models are broken and so the fact

00:37:42.540 that there's a huge youtube series on it is it's just kind of making our point that that this indie

00:37:47.640 media is actually taking off in ways that the old um the old the old system hasn't quite figured out

00:37:54.680 yet uh blake i was thinking of an interesting question though would be um how do you uh you

00:38:00.620 know how do you credit the original author of backrooms if it was a 4chan poster man it'd be

00:38:08.920 it'd be kind of funny if someone would like here's here's a million dollars and i will leave it in

00:38:16.080 escrow and it will go to a person who can come forward and conclusively satisfactorily prove

00:38:20.780 they authored that post it's funny and speaking of boomer zoomer divide a weird thing about this is

00:38:27.660 jack is 4chan dead now i feel like i when's the last time a new thing blew up because it was on

00:38:34.380 4chan well it's it's been so dead and it's but it's it was dying before elon bought x but it

00:38:40.920 died completely after elon bought x um and it's just it's just not you know it had been brigaded

00:38:48.760 too much it had been uh inundated with too much just you know uh anon slop you know i don't even

00:38:56.840 know what you call it just anti-4chan stuff that um yeah i don't think anything new has arisen

00:39:02.160 there but at the same time a lot of that same anon energy is now just on x and i suppose it's

00:39:07.140 probably for the best because thinking about how x thinking about how x how 4chan works with

00:39:13.560 everyone being anonymous it would get absolutely ruined by modern ai everyone would just make an

00:39:18.340 ai account and just spam things all over it so in a sense it probably died at the exact right moment

00:39:23.720 where it could live on in our dreams i think it's really interesting it's not so much that

00:39:28.520 it died it's that it won and took over took over the world literally um i also think there's a

00:39:34.520 tendency for horror movies with very low budgets to go very viral and do well in the box office

00:39:40.840 like this isn't the first time this has happened i think it was like blair witch trials was one of

00:39:44.920 it paranormal activities saw was one of these um the purge was one of these uh insidious was one

00:39:52.120 of these all of the all the movies i just named are all had like a budget under a million 1.5

00:39:58.760 million like blair witch trials was like 20 000 to make and it did 100 million in the box office so

00:40:04.220 there's just a tendency for a lot of people who love horror movies to just support creators that

00:40:10.740 are making a very low budget horror movie and then to just show up at the box office and to do it

00:40:15.840 i don't know if that's like directly tied to the fact that star wars also the mandalorian grogu

00:40:21.400 also came out around the same time i i also think that this has more also to say just about the

00:40:29.180 people who are being put like who are doing these projects actually caring about the the product

00:40:36.380 hilariously enough going back to even just what we were talking about with the christian energy

00:40:40.620 drinks like when you look at youtube now and like like these directors were were youtubers um

00:40:47.360 the amount of like fan films or or like or small films that you can find that on youtube that are

00:40:55.680 really highly produced but actually like hold on to the the essence of whatever they're doing in a

00:41:03.720 way that you're like oh wow this is really good like i remember literally i just watched one of

00:41:08.460 the best things i've seen in a minute it was essentially the premise is what if wolverine

00:41:14.480 was a viking and honestly probably the best depiction of wolverine that we've seen in media

00:41:23.160 in quite a bit uh quite a long time i can i can really buy that and i think a big reason i can

00:41:28.700 see it especially in i think this is the biggest weakness of western big budget cinema is that

00:41:36.380 everything is coming through not even just a corporate architecture but it's a heavily

00:41:41.360 editor and producer driven

00:41:43.580 thing. Everyone gets so many hands in the pot

00:41:45.520 every single time. So many cooks in the kitchen. And you can get 0.66

00:41:47.340 so much, you can get a lot

00:41:49.640 of really terrible stuff, but

00:41:51.500 the opportunity for something really brilliant

00:41:53.200 when something is basically the work of

00:41:55.340 one lone actor who can just decide

00:41:57.680 whatever he wants. And that's how you get things

00:41:59.620 that are really memorable, really iconic, really

00:42:01.400 different. That's actually why the Star Wars

00:42:03.440 prequels remain so

00:42:05.680 iconic. Because George Lucas is this weird

00:42:07.660 guy who just threw all this weird stuff.

00:42:09.520 and are they good movies no but they're incredibly memorable as a result i i'll say um so i haven't

00:42:15.720 seen backrooms yet um i did see obsession and um you know just just on that note you know you can

00:42:23.420 tell that backrooms has such a unique kind of story and lore and the the way it's set up and

00:42:33.320 and i love the way that it was created so for people don't know what it is it's this it's just

00:42:37.060 idea that you're you're when you go into the back room of a you know a hotel or a shopping mall or

00:42:41.780 an office center an office building or something you know what really goes on in those liminal

00:42:45.920 spaces the spaces between the spaces and you know it's it's it's plays with that and plays with the

00:42:54.060 the horror of those sort of spaces and so people would be creating their own stories people would

00:43:00.200 be creating their own versions of this and then eventually after it had been quite viral for you

00:43:05.720 know sometime this guy uh took to youtube and you know started making his own movies of it based on

00:43:13.240 a meme that had already existed and then that guy in turn became i guess it was a24 came in

00:43:19.380 and uh made him the director of this and he does have some you know he has quite a few celebrities

00:43:24.360 that are that are in it so i i can't say that this is completely indie but the the process certainly

00:43:29.780 is and um i just incredibly unique incredibly amazing obsession on the other hand good movie

00:43:37.540 um but it's it's not a unique premise at all the idea that you're gonna it's it's the monkey's paw

00:43:42.900 so it's just another monkey's paw uh kind of remake where he goes to a shop and finds that a uh

00:43:50.180 uh you know take this thing and you know make one wish and it'll make whatever your wish come true

00:43:56.900 So he says, oh, I want this girl at my work to fall in love with me.

00:44:00.020 And then she does, and everything goes horribly wrong.

00:44:02.160 So, I mean, that's not really a new premise.

00:44:04.340 It's well made.

00:44:05.640 It wasn't super scary.

00:44:07.280 So if you're not someone who's, like, really into horror,

00:44:10.380 I would recommend it as something.

00:44:11.900 I'm definitely going to have to check that out.

00:44:13.840 It's not a scary movie.

00:44:15.400 There is some gore, you know, here and there.

00:44:18.720 I didn't particularly find anything scary in the film at all.

00:44:23.520 And, you know, there's some good suspense, things like that.

00:44:27.260 But, yeah, just as a premise, there was that movie Ruby Sparks that came out a couple years ago,

00:44:31.120 which is more of like a romantic comedy version of the same thing.

00:44:33.860 It's got Paul Dano and I think his wife, Zoe, Zoe, I forget her last name.

00:44:40.200 And she's the star of it where, you know, kind of the same situation where a man controls a woman in all of this.

00:44:47.160 But there's some good twists. There's some good discourse in it.

00:44:50.140 And funny enough, Bishop Barron posted a long review of Obsession, which I thought was really interesting that, you know, here's Bishop Barron commenting on like the viral Zoomer movie of the summer, you know, and he had a great take on it.

00:45:06.820 He said, don't mess with the demonic.

00:45:09.360 Yeah, absolutely.

00:45:10.560 Speaking of demonic.

00:45:11.500 Speaking of demonic, sorry.

00:45:12.780 three more i think that's um well just just real quick before we segue um i've always thought that

00:45:17.400 that's a cool you know that's kind of like an interesting use for horror that it's sort of like

00:45:21.780 backdoor you know way to hey bring people to christ in a sense because hey you you need to

00:45:26.980 have some counterbalance to the demons you can't follow that path speaking of demonic we saw this

00:45:33.080 and this is actually a lot scarier than any of the horror movies that we've discussed even the

00:45:39.300 spookiest ones and this uh just flitted across went very viral yesterday and it's the saga of

00:45:45.860 matthew or not matthew jesse ridgeway jesse ridgeway has decided to tweet his wife's abortion

00:45:52.740 oh yeah all right now that yeah yeah wow i forgot that was the next topic yeah this is okay yeah

00:46:00.620 so russ you're familiar with who this guy is uh i've seen some of his videos like i've seen clips

00:46:07.420 pop up on my tiktok but he uh he's a youtuber called mr jugger nuggets jugger nuggets and he

00:46:16.400 has four and a half million subs or so yeah 4.34 million subs and what i've seen is that he makes

00:46:24.520 essentially like content where it's like oh psycho like literally this is a title of one of his fake

00:46:30.780 real videos like psycho dad destroys twitch too yeah psycho dad runs over video games with lawn

00:46:37.480 mower yeah so it's very um it's very uh vlog-esque style but he's he's been vlogging essentially

00:46:46.480 vlogging his life coming from his marriage and and all of this different one of those guys who's

00:46:52.880 just publicly shown every part of his life that's taken a really dark turn because yesterday so

00:46:57.320 Jesse and his wife had announced they were expecting.

00:46:59.900 In fact, I think that Destroy Switch 2 0.87

00:47:01.680 was like their gender reveal, some nonsense like that.

00:47:04.000 And then he just announces this yesterday.

00:47:06.220 This week, my wife and I made the very difficult decision

00:47:08.980 to terminate our pregnancy due to trisomy 21.

00:47:12.360 That's Down syndrome, the extra chromosome.

00:47:14.640 The choice was not made lightly.

00:47:15.960 We really appreciate all of the personal stories

00:47:18.520 you guys shared with us,

00:47:19.660 especially the unconditional support we received from fans

00:47:22.800 no matter what we decided.

00:47:24.900 So I guess he'd announced they'd found this

00:47:26.920 and then left people in suspense

00:47:29.140 about whether they would murder

00:47:30.840 their child or not. He goes on

00:47:32.980 at length. I know some of you will be

00:47:35.000 very disappointed to hear the news.

00:47:37.380 Wait, Blake, so are you saying

00:47:38.940 that he turned this into

00:47:40.020 like an arc? Like a LeBron decision?

00:47:42.780 Yes. So literally, I kid you

00:47:44.860 not, these are the last couple

00:47:46.640 videos that he has. The one,

00:47:49.080 we're having a baby two months ago.

00:47:51.300 A month ago, Psycho Dad

00:47:52.680 destroys Nintendo Switch 2, 0.79

00:47:54.540 which was also their gender reveal.

00:47:56.300 and then though a month ago we received devastating news psycho update yeah and they even they've done

00:48:03.980 live tweet videos i'm actually going to warn you there's nothing gory or whatever but this is

00:48:08.320 upsetting to me to hear them talk this is a video i believe they did this last week just can i say

00:48:13.060 is there a chance that this is all fake no i don't have a chance that this is all i hope you know i

00:48:18.580 guess i hope it's fake because otherwise they murdered their child and that's but i mean there's

00:48:22.680 a chance that this is i mean it's a youtuber right so i mean you should perhaps take it with

00:48:26.920 a grain of salt based off the style based off the style of his videos the and the fact that he's

00:48:33.800 using x rather than just using youtube this does not this does not come off as fake and they made

00:48:41.140 this clip which also i mean i guess they could have acted it people can act but they made a clip

00:48:45.580 about this is kind of their decision hype where they found out and they're reacting to it clip 16

00:48:51.540 not the result we wanted to see guys i started to get kind of a not good feeling just when the

00:48:58.080 results were sitting here that's why i didn't want to open them i started to feel really

00:49:02.640 uncomfortable about it uh just kind of in shock like truly we talked before this guys about what

00:49:12.020 would we do if we confronted this scenario um because this was the more likely scenario we

00:49:19.980 talked about terminating the pregnancy obviously things could change because

00:49:25.260 this is a traumatic like very traumatic and I know you guys even watching this

00:49:31.800 this is traumatic for the whole community I think now that we have a

00:49:36.060 definitive result we'll talk with these counselors and we're gonna have some

00:49:39.660 hard conversations it's just all very overwhelming and confusing to navigate

00:49:44.820 Ashley is almost halfway through this thing not saying we forced it but like

00:49:49.660 Like, the kid seemed healthy, and there's been stories of where the kid comes out and is, like, super functional.

00:49:55.120 So it's like, I don't know.

00:49:56.640 There's just a lot to digest, and we're not really going to be doing that in this video.

00:50:00.700 We just wanted to let you guys in on what the results were.

00:50:05.080 Oh, I was ready.

00:50:07.300 I was ready.

00:50:09.000 I had to start all my work.

00:50:11.860 The start of our journey, you know, of just trying to start a family.

00:50:18.420 this is how it starts a lot of people it's not easy ever you know whether it's a miscarriage

00:50:26.280 out the gate now it's hard to look at like silver linings but i mean the fact that you can get

00:50:32.740 pregnant is good we weren't sure and it was bro it was instant we don't know why this happens

00:50:39.500 maybe it is a birth control over a decade maybe it is just random genetic sequencing and it

00:50:46.280 Glitches, you know, just like cancer cells like sometimes it's just we don't know. So I'm gonna kill the camera 0.98

00:50:53.520 That is one of the most dreadful videos I have ever seen in my entire life. So just just to understand the context so 0.97

00:51:02.400 Because he's I saw the tweet that was up there that said we have made the decision

00:51:05.800 But the decision here is this is when they got like the final confirmation

00:51:09.680 It's when they got the sheet of paper

00:51:12.540 but they haven't yet made the decision

00:51:14.820 at the point of when they were filming this.

00:51:17.140 Correct, correct.

00:51:18.980 Okay. 0.99

00:51:20.120 What an awful husband. 0.83

00:51:22.000 Like, she's crying next to him 0.96

00:51:23.540 and he's basically encouraging her

00:51:25.380 and encouraging their marriage.

00:51:27.020 Yeah, no, exactly.

00:51:27.860 Like, she's like, I was ready.

00:51:29.580 Like, I was so ready.

00:51:30.680 And he's over here like, meh.

00:51:32.460 Like, he could have made a choice

00:51:34.500 to be a good husband

00:51:35.800 and been like, this is our time.

00:51:38.140 This is our time to have a family.

00:51:39.740 yeah he's a PLS

00:51:43.760 and they go into

00:51:45.820 all the horrible things where they say

00:51:47.780 okay 50% of babies with

00:51:49.820 down syndrome have heart defects many have

00:51:51.760 hearing challenges I didn't

00:51:53.780 realize how tough it would be for the child

00:51:55.660 let alone the family more often than not

00:51:57.520 they would be dependent on others for the rest of their

00:51:59.740 lives so instead of that 0.97

00:52:01.680 we killed our baby 0.99

00:52:02.460 this is such BS too 0.87

00:52:05.300 they're acting as though they're the victims here

00:52:07.780 like you're killing somebody

00:52:09.260 you're killing somebody that did not have a choice and it's and you're turning yourself

00:52:14.860 into the victim how hard it is for you no everything about this is evil everything about

00:52:20.320 this is just wait it gets worse uh because we have just to add just to add that because

00:52:26.100 remember they're monetizing yeah their own they're monetizing their grace and and murder

00:52:34.000 they're they're monetizing the murder of a of a child and they're saying that you know as you say

00:52:39.960 they're the victims so i mean yeah we talked i talked about exploitation earlier but this is like

00:52:44.680 exploitation of sin itself it's literally on like i because i have the tweet open it's suggested as

00:52:51.920 a follow to me it just says something four million on youtube two billion views creator of psycho

00:52:57.200 series it just it's incredibly upsetting for me to just see all of his i'm an influencer here's

00:53:03.280 how successful i am as an influencer he kills his baby and then the whole process is live blogged

00:53:10.760 from beginning to end oh we just got our test results here's our reaction and even maybe someone

00:53:17.880 else did this edit but i suspect they did this themselves if that clip they did it's got those

00:53:22.380 those jump cut like little edits where oh we have to cut out dead dead hair here the original

00:53:27.200 video was three minutes i think somebody clipped it down just to cut out some of the pauses

00:53:31.940 um but to make matters worse throw up 15 he has a series of tweets that a year ago his dog was

00:53:42.520 diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and i kid you not in this tweet it literally says one of the saddest

00:53:49.140 days of my life and dude his dog is alive a year now like it will like it goes to the next one and

00:53:59.100 he's like giving a praise report but this is the guy who's over here saying that it's too much

00:54:04.740 it's too much for his family to go to term with a child that's most that's gonna have down he won't

00:54:13.440 have a disabled child but this is we'll spend the money to get our dog free of cancer like right no

00:54:19.780 this is this is an example and you can see it even personally i i can hear it you know in in his voice 1.00

00:54:28.240 with the way he's talking you know he's just someone who's very weak he's someone who lacks

00:54:36.240 any physical or moral strength at all is not willing to live for anyone other than himself

00:54:45.120 clearly doesn't care that his wife is uh crying there on camera and is more than willing to

00:54:54.600 exploit her grief and and that moment and oh my god yeah that is not sacrificial love weakness

00:55:01.820 a cowardless a narcissism a lack of actual love and yeah it's so sad that's not a man in our

00:55:10.880 culture this is you know it's it's everywhere it's just everywhere it's one of the most evil 0.98

00:55:17.600 things i've ever seen you know we were disagreeing what what is evil at the start of this i think

00:55:22.520 we're all in consensus that's one of those people i want to shout out zuzu who donated and said

00:55:26.780 This is what happens when you raise godless beta males.

00:55:30.240 Amen, Zuzu.

00:55:31.060 Definitely a part of it.

00:55:32.320 Amen. 1.00

00:55:32.980 I think it is certainly a beta male thing to kill your children 0.99

00:55:35.980 as things become slightly difficult. 0.79

00:55:40.980 Don't do this.

00:55:41.620 Actually, I made sure not to.

00:55:43.880 I didn't engage with his tweet.

00:55:45.660 I saw it coming around, and I made sure not to engage with it

00:55:48.620 because Twitter bases monetization on engagement now,

00:55:52.360 so if I engage with it, he makes money.

00:55:54.320 Fair.

00:55:54.760 Very good.

00:55:55.400 Very good move.

00:55:56.140 and I think about that stuff all the time

00:55:59.240 I think about that stuff all the time

00:56:00.960 whether it's you know

00:56:02.920 Jesus juice or stuff like this I just

00:56:04.920 I don't want to do anything that supports that

00:56:07.060 kind of stuff I really don't ever

00:56:08.880 alright well we have a hard out here

00:56:11.180 but this was some very

00:56:12.960 fun topics one very unfun topic
