Speaker 1: for the next four weeks, we have lots of guests.
1:23
Speaker 1: Kicking things off with chest I almost said chest wild

Speaker 1: because I was saying guests so much.
1:29
Speaker 2: Oh that's how are you chat?
1:32
Speaker 3: Oh okay, it's a little warm, but I'm excited to
1:34
Speaker 3: be potting with you again. I'm sorry, I didn't make
1:38
Speaker 3: the Hollywood Hotel show.
1:39
Speaker 2: It was such a fun show.
1:41
Speaker 1: Yeah, we shockingly a crowd of mostly walk ins from
1:46
Speaker 1: the Hollywood Hotel stayed for most of the show, even
1:50
Speaker 1: through the music.
1:51
Speaker 2: And there was a woman giving me the stink.
1:53
Speaker 1: Eye over that music because she was sitting right next
1:56
Speaker 1: to the speaker and I was right across from her,
2:00
Speaker 1: and I think she was trying to have a shared
2:03
Speaker 1: fuck this moment with me, and I was like, no,
2:05
Speaker 1: I'm into this. Why don't you get out of here, jerk? Yeah,
2:10
Speaker 1: so it worked out.
2:11
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Hollywood Hotel show was fun.
2:13
Speaker 3: I like an idiot chose to go work a sold
2:16
Speaker 3: out comedy club, two hundred people packed. Is their eleventh
2:19
Speaker 3: year anniversary show, and they're like, we're gonna bring ten
2:22
Speaker 3: hend winers. They'll do short sets. How the fuck I'm
2:24
Speaker 3: on that bill, I don't know, but I was real
2:26
Speaker 3: excited because it's gonna get a tape for this TV
2:28
Speaker 3: thing I'm spending for hot crowd. And then the comic
2:32
Speaker 3: that goes up before me, I've never heard of him.
2:34
Speaker 3: He's like traveling through I shit, you not a French pirate.
2:39
Speaker 3: So imagine somebody dressed as a pirate wearing a beret
2:43
Speaker 3: and an eyepatch. Okay, who plays accordion while firing off
2:48
Speaker 3: one liners?
2:49
Speaker 2: And let me tell you.
2:52
Speaker 3: If you want a hard act to follow, I won't
2:56
Speaker 3: comment on the clear lack of respect I have for
2:59
Speaker 3: the amount of is used in that act.
3:02
Speaker 2: Right, the writing wasn't strong.
3:05
Speaker 3: But there's something with people about like this is different
3:09
Speaker 3: he ended up on. I got a clap that they
3:12
Speaker 3: were just not ready for actual jokes, and man did
3:15
Speaker 3: I flounder?
3:16
Speaker 1: Yeah, following those one liner types is difficult. Sometimes one
3:20
Speaker 1: liner isn't the difficult part, it's the well accordion. I
3:23
Speaker 1: will not an accordion pirate like any.
3:27
Speaker 2: Of those things.
3:28
Speaker 3: If you're like, I had to follow guy with a
3:29
Speaker 3: high iPad, you'd be like, okay, I had to follow
3:30
Speaker 3: a guy with an accordion.
3:31
Speaker 2: Okay, I had to follow I had to follow a
3:33
Speaker 2: French pirate with an eye passion, an accordion. Man, I
3:36
Speaker 2: was not, so I didn't.
3:38
Speaker 3: I should have come down and done a set afterwards
3:40
Speaker 3: to redeem myself.
3:41
Speaker 2: And I'm just like, I don't. I don't want to
3:43
Speaker 2: be anything comedy for the rest of the night. I understand.
3:47
Speaker 2: I want to find a fat burger and eat a
3:50
Speaker 2: fat burger.
3:51
Speaker 1: Two in the morning. Got the fat burger. It's a
3:54
Speaker 1: nice cube reference. How do you feel about conspiracy theories
3:57
Speaker 1: since you've never done this show.
4:00
Speaker 3: I mean, there's a time and a place that they're
4:03
Speaker 3: not all crazy, they're not all insane, but also a
4:05
Speaker 3: lot of them are insane. Like anything tied to Alex
4:08
Speaker 3: Jones go fuck yourself.
4:10
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I have an Alex Jones conspiracy theory, which
4:14
Speaker 1: is that Alex Jones is actually connected to the US
4:17
Speaker 1: government and just spreads misinformation to discredit people who might
4:22
Speaker 1: actually uncover actual information that the world would want to hear.
4:27
Speaker 3: Which I played right into that because I said, anything
4:29
Speaker 3: this guy says is bullshit. So if somebody actually did
4:31
Speaker 3: have a credible conspiracy theory, now Jones was pushing it hard,
4:34
Speaker 3: I'd be like, look at his track record.
4:36
Speaker 2: No thanks, Yeah, exactly.
4:37
Speaker 1: Are there any conspiracies in particular that you have looked
4:42
Speaker 1: into and believe.
4:45
Speaker 3: I don't know about believe, but I certainly do get
4:47
Speaker 3: sucked into the nine to eleven stuff, as the nine
4:50
Speaker 3: to eleven boards blinking.
4:51
Speaker 2: At me, Ah, shout out to the nine to eleven board.
4:54
Speaker 3: It's not that I definitively think it was a full conspiracy,
4:58
Speaker 3: just the amount of arguments and different angles people take
5:02
Speaker 3: in different videos that are out there, like there are
5:04
Speaker 3: seemingly compelling arguments.
5:06
Speaker 1: And see that actually ties in pretty well to my
5:10
Speaker 1: opinion on Alex Jones, because I do believe there's a
5:13
Speaker 1: conspiracy and cover up regarding nine to eleven, and people
5:18
Speaker 1: like Alex Jones push the really crazy version where it
5:22
Speaker 1: was like Bush planned it and it was an inside job.
5:26
Speaker 1: What I think it was with Saudi Arabia, most of
5:29
Speaker 1: the hijackers were from Saudi Arabia. There was for a
5:33
Speaker 1: long time this like rumor or legend that a Saudi
5:38
Speaker 1: intelligence agent came to the United States and met with
5:41
Speaker 1: some of the hijackers before nine to eleven. And there
5:44
Speaker 1: were all these pages of the nine to eleven report
5:47
Speaker 1: that were classified for years and years and years, and
5:50
Speaker 1: they finally declassified them. And sure enough that Saudi intelligence
5:55
Speaker 1: officer did come to the United States and he did
5:58
Speaker 1: meet with some of the highijackers before nine to eleven.
6:01
Speaker 1: But Saudi Arabia is such an ally to us, like
6:05
Speaker 1: the families of nine to eleven victims wanted to sue
6:09
Speaker 1: the Saudi government and fucking Obama blocked them from being
6:13
Speaker 1: able to do it. So I think people like Alex
6:17
Speaker 1: Jones spread like loose change type shit, which is the
6:21
Speaker 1: big nine to eleven documentary, to the benefit of the
6:25
Speaker 1: US government because it keeps us because otherwise we'd all
6:28
Speaker 1: probably really be hitting on that Saudi Arabia thing and
6:31
Speaker 1: be like, why the fuck did we go to Iraq
6:33
Speaker 1: and Afghanistan when most of the hijackers were Saudi's. Yeah,
6:39
Speaker 1: like what prompted that?
6:41
Speaker 3: Just needed to get people to swing emotionally enough to
6:44
Speaker 3: get behind it.
6:45
Speaker 1: But now if you just even mentioned that you have
6:48
Speaker 1: any doubts about the official explanation of nine to eleven,
6:51
Speaker 1: you're just written off as a crazy person. So in
6:54
Speaker 1: that way, someone like Alex Jones is really effective.
6:57
Speaker 3: Now nine eleven people always get stuck on the twin
7:00
Speaker 3: Tower off, not that they aren't significant bright it means,
7:02
Speaker 3: but do you have any specific thoughts or beliefs surrounding
7:06
Speaker 3: the plane that went down Pennsylvania or the Pentagon? Which
7:09
Speaker 3: it always surprises me how much the Pentagon getting hit
7:13
Speaker 3: by a plane supposedly is overlooked.
7:15
Speaker 1: The Pentagon one is really weird. The Pentagon plane. There's
7:19
Speaker 1: one witness to the plane hitting and that's it, right,
7:24
Speaker 1: that's it. Well, no, there's people who saw the plane approaching,
7:29
Speaker 1: but there's only somehow one guy who was in the
7:32
Speaker 1: vicinity of the White House during rush hour traffic in Washington, DC.
7:37
Speaker 1: And the thing is, his account of the direction the
7:40
Speaker 1: plane's coming from differs from everyone else. Everyone else says
7:43
Speaker 1: it was coming from a different way. And if you look,
7:47
Speaker 1: you can find videos about this guy online. What he
7:50
Speaker 1: says is that this plane knocked over a light pole
7:53
Speaker 1: and that the light pole fell into the windshield of
7:56
Speaker 1: his car. And if you look at his car, the
7:58
Speaker 1: light pole is sticking through it. But there's no damage
8:02
Speaker 1: to the hood of the car none, not a scratch
8:05
Speaker 1: how and actually the pictures you just see the whole
8:09
Speaker 1: you don't even see the light poles.
8:11
Speaker 3: Yeah, I remember, it's been a while since I watched this.
8:13
Speaker 3: But there's also throughout like how would a plane possibly yeah,
8:17
Speaker 3: like the angle at which it would.
8:18
Speaker 2: Have to come down and clip all sorts of things.
8:20
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Pentagon, there's some weirdness around the Pentagon. I
8:23
Speaker 1: think Flight ninety three was shot down, and I wish
8:25
Speaker 1: they would just tell us because I'd be fine with it.
8:28
Speaker 1: I mean, it makes sense, but it's what you're supposed
8:29
Speaker 1: to do in those situations. But yeah, I guess it
8:32
Speaker 1: makes sense to cover up what really happened and turn
8:35
Speaker 1: it into a major motion picture.
8:38
Speaker 2: I guess that's better.
8:40
Speaker 3: I mean, it's it's all of those things where it's
8:42
Speaker 3: so stupid that it works, like where you just shove
8:46
Speaker 3: something in people's face and you're like, oh yeah, yeah,
8:49
Speaker 3: I don't believe that Andrew WK conspiracy.
8:51
Speaker 1: Now I don't either, although the people working at that
8:54
Speaker 1: club that night do say Andrew WK was acting very weird.
8:58
Speaker 1: But people have Yeah, people have off nights. That doesn't
9:01
Speaker 1: mean they're replaced by an impostor. Except Avril Levine, she's
9:05
Speaker 1: probably been replaced.
9:07
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, we did that episode years ago back at
9:10
Speaker 3: the old Cracked office about like right different child stars
9:14
Speaker 3: that were basically like raped and thrown in ditches.
9:17
Speaker 2: That sounds awful. That was Miley Cyrus. Yes, yeah, that's
9:21
Speaker 2: the vivid example that are not vivid, but like.
9:23
Speaker 1: The yeah we did that was like an example that
9:26
Speaker 1: was basically a precursor to Conspiracy the show. That was
9:28
Speaker 1: an episode of Unpopular Opinion that we talked about those
9:33
Speaker 1: same disappearances and impostor type conspiracies as they relate to celebrities,
9:39
Speaker 1: and that's go ahead.
9:41
Speaker 3: I was just gonna say a lot of people. Probably
9:43
Speaker 3: the biggest conspiracy that I have an issue with is
9:46
Speaker 3: people that say, uh, Columbus is a nice city, Columbus, Ohio.
9:50
Speaker 2: You're bringing that to this podcast nowhere, no one. Oh.
9:54
Speaker 3: I don't understand the references chets making because I only
9:57
Speaker 3: listened to Conspiracy the podcast. Well, sure you want to
10:00
Speaker 3: hear us talk about Columbus, Ohio, what my issues are
10:05
Speaker 3: with it, as well as Nazis and fuck them. Come

10:49
Speaker 2: It'll be episode sixty.
10:52
Speaker 3: You said it, you put it, I hinted at it,
10:55
Speaker 3: and you said it. If that's not funny to either,
10:57
Speaker 3: you don't need to get any reppers. That's just objective
11:00
Speaker 3: good comedy. That's just good quality Colmed. But also, we
11:04
Speaker 3: don't stand for Nazi shit on Good Luck America, Adam,
11:06
Speaker 3: what do you frequently say about, Hey, if you don't
11:08
Speaker 3: want to be compared to a.
11:09
Speaker 1: Nazi, don't align yourself with Nazis. Yeah, don't vote for
11:12
Speaker 1: a Nazi. So butt's fucking get shit. But yeah, check
11:17
Speaker 1: out Good Luck America every Monday with me and Shay Wild.
11:21
Speaker 1: Actually it's chat, but I like making it a silent.
11:24
Speaker 2: Icy tea brown. Yeah.
11:27
Speaker 1: That everything we just talked about kind of ties into
11:30
Speaker 1: what we're talking about next because you mentioned cracked, and
11:35
Speaker 1: this theory we're going to talk about today, in my opinion,
11:38
Speaker 1: is not even a conspiracy theory.
11:40
Speaker 2: It's just facts.
11:42
Speaker 3: And one issue I have with your article, and I'll
11:45
Speaker 3: we'll get to it in a bit, is the most
11:47
Speaker 3: blatant thing that backs up your case. You didn't even
11:51
Speaker 3: mention in the article.
11:52
Speaker 2: What's that? I got the icing on the cake. We'll
11:54
Speaker 2: get to it. Okay, I feel like you're doing a
11:56
Speaker 2: bit right now.
11:57
Speaker 1: I've never done a bit on this podcast over because
12:00
Speaker 1: you've never been on this podcast on this podcast network.
12:02
Speaker 1: I am bit free, but bitless wilde they call me.
12:07
Speaker 1: And the thing about conspiracy, this this particular podcast. I
12:11
Speaker 1: think this is probably the one that gets the most
12:15
Speaker 1: listens from people who don't listen to the rest of
12:17
Speaker 1: our shit.
12:18
Speaker 2: All right, no references.
12:20
Speaker 1: We put it on Spotify for a while. Well, no,
12:22
Speaker 1: that I'm more justifying why I'm doing this episode because
12:26
Speaker 1: we did this episode once as an unpopular opinion episode,
12:30
Speaker 1: and man, this is an idea that needs to get
12:33
Speaker 1: more attention because I am one hundred percent correct in
12:37
Speaker 1: this shit and I have no doubts about that.
12:40
Speaker 2: So I'm the guy that said Trump would get elected.
12:43
Speaker 1: So I did say Trump would get elected, and he did.
12:47
Speaker 1: And I actually this is the this article I wrote
12:50
Speaker 1: the week after the Trump article, and it's an article
12:54
Speaker 1: about how the band Ace of Bass was actually a
12:58
Speaker 1: Nazi or a white nationalist or white supremacist band and
13:03
Speaker 1: The reason I'm doing it again is because I don't.
13:06
Speaker 1: I feel like a lot of the conspiracy the show
13:08
Speaker 1: audience hasn't been exposed to this yet, and it's like
13:12
Speaker 1: it's like one of my defining moments in life because
13:17
Speaker 1: the way I found this it was also like coincidental and.
13:22
Speaker 3: Weird, and there's no such thing as coincidences. You were
13:26
Speaker 3: meant for this. It's your greater purpose.
13:28
Speaker 1: My destiny, to take down a band that hasn't released
13:31
Speaker 1: an album almost in two decades.
13:33
Speaker 2: Maybe they'll play my living room. If you don't want
13:36
Speaker 2: to be called a Nazi, don't associate with not.
13:39
Speaker 3: But we could put them on the spot. We could
13:40
Speaker 3: trick them and then be like, tells you Nazis? Yeah,
13:43
Speaker 3: And see, here's the thing. The Nazi background of a
13:47
Speaker 3: SA bass is actually pretty well known. That part is
13:50
Speaker 3: not a secret. There was an article by Vice Music
13:54
Speaker 3: editor Ben Shapiro, not not that benro make that very clear.
14:02
Speaker 3: He wrote an article a few years back that revealed
14:05
Speaker 3: ASA base founder Ulf Eckberg, who I believe they refer
14:09
Speaker 3: to as Smurf, was once in a Nazi punk band
14:13
Speaker 3: called Commit Suicide suicide spelled with two s's your Nazi
14:18
Speaker 3: impression sounds oddly racist towards Japanese people. For some reason,
14:24
Speaker 3: sounded like somebody doing a bad impression of a Kami
14:27
Speaker 3: Kazi pilot.
14:28
Speaker 1: Listen, Japan committed a lot of atrocities in World War Two.
14:31
Speaker 2: I know a lot of suicide. That's what I was
14:33
Speaker 2: going with there.
14:35
Speaker 1: And here's a sample of that band's translated lyrics.
14:39
Speaker 2: I let you read this one at him.
14:41
Speaker 1: Yeah, men in white hoods marched down the road. We
14:45
Speaker 1: enjoy ourselves when we're sawing off n words heads. And
14:48
Speaker 1: they did not say n word. They said the real
14:51
Speaker 1: word immigrant. We hate you out out, out out Nordic people,
14:57
Speaker 1: wake up now, Shoot shoot shoot shoot?
15:00
Speaker 3: Why did they gotta bring Nordic people into this? See,
15:03
Speaker 3: I love me some Norway. I'm going to Norway, fucking
15:05
Speaker 3: deal with.
15:06
Speaker 1: Maybe you can join Asa bass. They probably need a
15:08
Speaker 1: drummer and I'll audition and then the band will never
15:11
Speaker 1: get back to me. Deep references, listen to the other pods.
15:15
Speaker 2: Yeah, that is a deep reference.
15:17
Speaker 1: And this article he wrote it ends basically asking the question,
15:22
Speaker 1: did this guy start a sub bass to kind of
15:26
Speaker 1: wipe the slate clean and hide his Nazi past?
15:30
Speaker 3: Well, the original name of the band was Master Race
15:33
Speaker 3: of Bass actually, so that's that's where the name comes from.
15:37
Speaker 3: That they just took off the master R.
15:40
Speaker 2: I get this. I got on the nose. I get
15:44
Speaker 2: to be funny on this podcast.
15:45
Speaker 1: And so here's the thing. He asked that question, and
15:50
Speaker 1: the answer to that question is no, he did not
15:52
Speaker 1: use ASA Bass to hide his Nazi past, because ASA
15:56
Speaker 1: Bass is also a Nazi band. Like blatantly, I almost
16:03
Speaker 1: we were gonna do this episode on Sunday with Tom
16:05
Speaker 1: Ryman and David Bell, who worked with me at Cracked
16:08
Speaker 1: at the time. And right around the same time I
16:12
Speaker 1: wrote this article, he wrote an article about how the
16:14
Speaker 1: Muppets caused nine to eleven, and people in the comments
16:17
Speaker 1: were just like, yeah, man, I wish you'd taken this
16:20
Speaker 1: a little more seriously. This like this sounds legit and
16:23
Speaker 1: he was joking. And then I write this and I'm
16:27
Speaker 1: deadly serious. It includes visual aids to help you see
16:32
Speaker 1: everything I'm talking about, and people are like, this feels
16:36
Speaker 1: like a reach, Like it feels like a reach that
16:38
Speaker 1: a former Nazi incorporated Nazi imagery into his new band.
16:43
Speaker 2: Why the tagline of the website is America's Only humor website.
16:47
Speaker 1: So well, that's because when I was there, it was
16:49
Speaker 1: the only humor website. Now there's no humor website exactly.
16:53
Speaker 1: Wamp wamp.
16:54
Speaker 2: Sorry. Fox News can be funny in its own way. Yeah,
16:57
Speaker 2: that's true.
16:58
Speaker 1: So I want to go through some of the the
17:01
Speaker 1: signs that.
17:05
Speaker 2: Not, Man, you didn't even know. I didn't even intend
17:08
Speaker 2: to do that.
17:08
Speaker 1: Man, I want to go through some of the signs,
17:12
Speaker 1: just like the ones they saw, the signs I saw.
17:15
Speaker 1: When I saw the sign that told me Asa Basse
17:18
Speaker 1: was a bunch of fucking.
17:19
Speaker 3: Nazis, I thought it said I saw the sun. By
17:21
Speaker 3: the way, I don't even know it was sign until, like.
17:23
Speaker 1: Travis Clark thought the second line of good Vibration by
17:28
Speaker 1: Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch, the chorus where they
17:31
Speaker 1: say it's such a good he thought the second line
17:36
Speaker 1: was it's that sweet Dixie charm.
17:39
Speaker 2: What is the actual lyric? I know it's not that,
17:41
Speaker 2: but it's a sweet sensation sweet. I don't know how
17:47
Speaker 2: what the fuck?
17:48
Speaker 1: It's one of my favorite misheard lyrics probably ever. I
17:52
Speaker 1: was so baffled when he brought that up on a
17:54
Speaker 1: podcast that we were live streaming in front of all
17:56
Speaker 1: the world to see. I did cut it out and
17:58
Speaker 1: put it in the outtakes. I didn't put it in
18:01
Speaker 1: the public episode, but now this is a public episode
18:03
Speaker 1: and I.
18:04
Speaker 2: Just put it.
18:05
Speaker 3: But if you want to hear our best pod, go
18:06
Speaker 3: to the outtakes, the pod that's too good for the
18:08
Speaker 3: regular pods.
18:09
Speaker 1: Yeah, you get the weekly outtakes episode when you subscribe
18:12
Speaker 1: on Patreon, because I know you're listening to this for free,
18:15
Speaker 1: but we still love you anyway, baby, hashtag fucks, hashtag
18:19
Speaker 1: plugs back on track, back on track. Let's talk about
18:22
Speaker 1: the first thing that caught my attention when it comes
18:26
Speaker 1: to this story. Think about the name. It's Ace of Bass,
18:29
Speaker 1: but it's not b ass as you would expect. We
18:32
Speaker 1: might think it was best well, but still it's a
18:35
Speaker 1: band they that makes like fucking house music or technomedia,
18:39
Speaker 1: whatever the fuck this band made, and so you would
18:42
Speaker 1: expect it to be bass, but it's not. It's Ace
18:45
Speaker 1: of Bass B A S. E. And what first tipped
18:49
Speaker 1: me off that that might be something weird. There's a
18:54
Speaker 1: show I don't know if it's still on Netflix, but
18:56
Speaker 1: you can find it out there. It's a documentary series
18:58
Speaker 1: called Nazi megaweapon and the second episode of the first
19:02
Speaker 1: season is about the Caraman Submarine Base, and this was
19:08
Speaker 1: The Caraman Submarine Base was a huge, just massive U
19:12
Speaker 1: boat launching facility that was in the French town of Laurient,
19:18
Speaker 1: and it was one of the most ambitious and important
19:22
Speaker 1: projects of the entire Nazi war machine. In nineteen forty
19:28
Speaker 1: one alone, missions originating from this base took out more
19:32
Speaker 1: than five hundred Allied ships sound and that's in one year.
19:37
Speaker 1: And it was so well constructed. The Allies built a
19:41
Speaker 1: bomb specifically, built a new bomb specifically to try and
19:46
Speaker 1: take out this facility, which they were not able to do.
19:50
Speaker 2: They called it a tall boy. Yeah.
19:52
Speaker 1: They eventually neutralized it by literally flattening the entire city
19:58
Speaker 1: around it so these U boats could not reach it,
20:01
Speaker 1: but the Nazis maintained control of it through the end
20:04
Speaker 1: of the war. We never got it from them. If
20:06
Speaker 1: you were a Nazi historian on the wrong side of
20:10
Speaker 1: history where you study Nazis and you're like, yeah, I
20:13
Speaker 1: wish this would have worked out. God damn it, I
20:15
Speaker 1: love these dudes so much. The Kraman facility is something
20:19
Speaker 1: you would know and something you would probably take a
20:22
Speaker 1: little bit of pride in as a Nazi sympathizer yourself,
20:27
Speaker 1: because the Nazis took a lot of pride in it.
20:29
Speaker 1: Because the Allies never took it from them.
20:32
Speaker 3: You don't have to call them Nazi sympathizers. You can
20:33
Speaker 3: call them what they are, Nazis.
20:36
Speaker 2: And here's the thing.
20:38
Speaker 1: Because most of Germany's top U boat captains launched their
20:44
Speaker 1: missions from here, from this Caraman facility, they called the
20:48
Speaker 1: Kraman Submarine Facility the base of aces, Base of Aces,
20:56
Speaker 1: So flip ASA base around.
20:58
Speaker 2: Yeah, could you draw this up there? Yeah? Can I?
21:00
Speaker 1: Can I point it out anymore? The Base of Aces?
21:04
Speaker 1: And when I heard that, I had not read this
21:06
Speaker 1: Vice article. I did not give a shit enough about
21:09
Speaker 1: ASA Base to know anything that had transpired with them
21:13
Speaker 1: since the early nineties when they were making music. And
21:16
Speaker 1: I heard that and was like, man, what if Ace
21:19
Speaker 1: of Bass's name is a Nazi reference? So then I
21:23
Speaker 1: went out and hit the Googles and I find this
21:25
Speaker 1: Vice article that makes it very clear that one of
21:29
Speaker 1: the founding members at least used to be a Nazi,
21:34
Speaker 1: presumably no longer.
21:36
Speaker 3: But because that's how Nazism works, you just wait, yeah,
21:39
Speaker 3: you just grow out of it one day.
21:41
Speaker 2: So here's the thing.
21:43
Speaker 1: It's possible that that is, well, I should explain ASA Bass.
21:47
Speaker 1: Their explanation for the band name is that, well, the
21:50
Speaker 1: studio is like our bass and we're like the masters
21:55
Speaker 1: of the studio. And it's like, all right, well, why
21:57
Speaker 1: aren't you called masters of bass? Then why are you
21:59
Speaker 1: called ace of Bass? And why is it bas And
22:04
Speaker 1: that's their explanation, which I guess.
22:07
Speaker 2: But they only put out one album.
22:09
Speaker 3: H this was their first album, right, how are you
22:11
Speaker 3: a master of something if you haven't put out anything else?
22:13
Speaker 2: Good point. And here's the thing.
22:15
Speaker 1: I know, maybe there's a lot of skeptics who listened
22:18
Speaker 1: to this podcast just to I don't know, hate listen
22:21
Speaker 1: to it. Who people who just assume every conspiracy theory
22:24
Speaker 1: is fake. Ask yourself, what is more likely that this
22:30
Speaker 1: band that consists of at least one Nazi, a dude
22:35
Speaker 1: who has a history of being in a very vile
22:38
Speaker 1: Nazi band in the past. What's more likely that he
22:42
Speaker 1: just threw together three words that just happened to kind
22:46
Speaker 1: of sound similar to a Nazi reference, or that he
22:49
Speaker 1: knows this is a Nazi reference but also knows it's
22:52
Speaker 1: a Nazi reference. Most people who aren't Nazis aren't gonna
22:56
Speaker 1: get like. I only picked up on this because Trump
23:01
Speaker 1: was on the verge of getting elected. So I was
23:03
Speaker 1: taking in a bunch of Nazi ship to figure out
23:04
Speaker 1: what we're what we're up against. And that's the only
23:08
Speaker 1: way I made the connection between Ace of basse in
23:11
Speaker 1: this Caraman submarine facility. Most people would not pick up
23:16
Speaker 1: on Ace of Bass as a Nazi reference. Now, I
23:18
Speaker 1: if I had, if I was a Nazi band, I
23:20
Speaker 1: would have named it way more on the notes, like
23:23
Speaker 1: we Hitler's Whistle be a barbershop quartet that only whistles
23:29
Speaker 1: that hitler esque music. Yeah, what's hitler esque music? I
23:35
Speaker 1: don't know, Yeah, but whistling it. I should have got
23:42
Speaker 1: water before we came up here. You gotta what am parched?
23:47
Speaker 3: What Hitler's whistle? Just come on, that's objectively a good name.
23:50
Speaker 1: That's not a bad name. Not a bad name, not
23:53
Speaker 1: a bad name. But and don't worry, I'm not This
23:56
Speaker 1: isn't the extent of my feelings on this.
24:00
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not fold jad Adam. I'll play Devil's advocate.
24:03
Speaker 1: Yeah, but everyone who's read this article is pretty much
24:06
Speaker 1: sold except Patton Oswalt for some reason.
24:07
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I'm not going to thank you.
24:10
Speaker 1: Yeah, he tweeted it and he said what he said,
24:13
Speaker 1: I'm still not convinced. It's like, why why not? Because
24:17
Speaker 1: it's not cool to say you believe a conspiracy theory.
24:20
Speaker 1: That's not even a conspiracy theory. It's just me laying
24:23
Speaker 1: out a bunch of really obvious, blatant Nazi imagery that
24:29
Speaker 1: you can find in several Asa Bass songs. I guess
24:32
Speaker 1: that doesn't necessarily make them a Nazi band. It just
24:36
Speaker 1: definitely makes them a Nazi band. So the first that
24:39
Speaker 1: the name is the first thing that is an it's
24:43
Speaker 1: an obscure Nazi reference because I only aside from the
24:47
Speaker 1: Nazi mega weapons thing, I went looking around for other
24:50
Speaker 1: examples of this Caramoun facility being referred to as the
24:54
Speaker 1: base of Aces, and I found it in one book
24:56
Speaker 1: that I found on Google Books and everywhere else. Like
25:00
Speaker 1: it's kind of a low key Nazi reference, exactly the
25:04
Speaker 1: kind of thing some fuckstick Nazi who thinks he's smarter
25:08
Speaker 1: than everyone else would figure he could just sneak by
25:11
Speaker 1: everyone without them knowing. And here's the thing he was right.
25:16
Speaker 1: He was right. It did get by everyone. It was
25:19
Speaker 1: the Anne Frank of band names, but not this guy. No,
25:22
Speaker 1: I caught it, God damn it. Just in time, something
25:26
Speaker 1: like that's a good band name, just in time, twenty
25:29
Speaker 1: years after the albums, like.
25:30
Speaker 2: A good stage name, just in time, Like.
25:33
Speaker 1: No, that's I'm sure there's several people with that stage name,
25:36
Speaker 1: and I hate them all. So that's the first thing.
25:39
Speaker 1: The name is a fucking Nazi reference. And now let's
25:43
Speaker 1: talk about Happy Nation for one thing, the album we
25:46
Speaker 1: all know and love except me. I fucking hated this
25:49
Speaker 1: band for aver. I don't like this album either, and
25:51
Speaker 1: my parents had it.
25:52
Speaker 3: They had this Genesis is Invisible Touch and the Tractors,
25:58
Speaker 3: I forget the name of the album. I remember those
26:00
Speaker 3: receiving being next to each other. Yeah, Unglee Genesis was
26:03
Speaker 3: my greatest influence of those three. Fortunately, Yeah, otherwise you'd
26:08
Speaker 3: be irate right now in this podcast.
26:10
Speaker 2: The Tractors, what was that? Forgot even now? But yeah.
26:15
Speaker 1: The the album that most people know as The Sign
26:20
Speaker 1: was actually released in Sweden initially as an album called
26:24
Speaker 1: Happy Nation, and the song Happy Nation is still on
26:28
Speaker 1: the version that made its way to the United States
26:32
Speaker 1: and the song Happy Nation is one hundred percent a
26:36
Speaker 1: song about Adolf Hitler, Like they could not be more
26:40
Speaker 1: obvious about it. For starters, it kicks off, let's listen
26:45
Speaker 1: to it while we talk. That's a that's an experience.
26:48
Speaker 1: Let listen the first time. Didn't get this song starts
26:55
Speaker 1: off with a chant by the former Nineazi in the band.
27:02
Speaker 1: And because it's a weird like mishmash of Latin and Hebrew,
27:09
Speaker 1: no one's ever like one accurately translated it because you
27:12
Speaker 1: can't because it's not an actual language.
27:14
Speaker 2: He's like throwing a bunch of shit together.
27:16
Speaker 1: But among the translations out there, it's usually a variation
27:21
Speaker 1: of this, on the wings of the eagle, with God's help,
27:26
Speaker 1: I was there before everyone.
27:29
Speaker 2: In the meantime, I will kill you. I was there
27:31
Speaker 2: before everyone, so on the wings of an eagle. On
27:36
Speaker 2: the wings of an eagle, you say that's and a Nazi.
27:41
Speaker 1: I mean it also says I will kill you, which
27:44
Speaker 1: is ominous, but.
27:52
Speaker 2: Okay, I have to pause it. Let's this is the
27:56
Speaker 2: that mappening. Nazis wanted to get every rid of everyone
27:59
Speaker 2: to have more of that. Yikes, Yeah, exactly.
28:02
Speaker 1: This is that opening verse, which is actually the chorus
28:06
Speaker 1: happy Nation, living in a happy nation where people understand
28:11
Speaker 1: and dream of the perfect man, a situation leading to
28:16
Speaker 1: sweet salvation for the people, for the cook, for the good,
28:21
Speaker 1: for the mankind brotherhood. If I'm not mistaken, the Nazis
28:26
Speaker 1: did have some interest in creating the perfect man, actually
28:31
Speaker 1: the perfect race of Marian race.
28:34
Speaker 2: Yeah, remember when they were called aran ace of Baise known.
28:38
Speaker 1: But that's that's at least sounds suspicious because why else
28:44
Speaker 1: is a sabass a band whose name is a Nazi
28:48
Speaker 1: reference and was founded by a dude who was in
28:51
Speaker 1: a Nazi band. Why are they like you gotta stack it, baby,
28:55
Speaker 1: stack it all up. Throw this that that in the
28:59
Speaker 1: opening verse they won on the wings of an eagle,
29:02
Speaker 1: but also perfect man, like that is a Nazi ideal.
29:07
Speaker 3: Stack it on top of your conspiracy. Stack it sacks
29:10
Speaker 3: for conspiracy. Is this is a Nazi cheeseburger. And you're
29:13
Speaker 3: starting with nothing, but you've given us the bread, and
29:16
Speaker 3: now you've thrown some lettuce and tomato on that bread.
29:19
Speaker 1: Right, And there's more in the song happy Nation, give
29:23
Speaker 1: us that mayo, because there's there's the dream of the
29:25
Speaker 1: perfect man bit which you can argue with me about
29:28
Speaker 1: what that could mean otherwise, but I will not fucking
29:31
Speaker 1: believe you. And this is the second verse, ideas by
29:35
Speaker 1: man and only that will last. And over time we've
29:39
Speaker 1: turned to the past that no man's fit to rule
29:43
Speaker 1: the world alone. A man will die, but not his ideas.
29:47
Speaker 1: Can you think of a man who tried to rule
29:49
Speaker 1: the world alone at any point that a band founded
29:54
Speaker 1: by a Nazi whose name is a Nazi reference, who
29:58
Speaker 1: just sang about building the perfect man? Can you think
30:02
Speaker 1: of a leader who tried any of that?
30:05
Speaker 2: Seems like you have sported some male on those what. Oh,
30:10
Speaker 2: this bit's killing it. And here's the thing.
30:14
Speaker 1: It gets that part gets even fucking worse because I
30:18
Speaker 1: understand if you're like, no, I want to give you.
30:20
Speaker 1: I'm still going to give this band the benefit of
30:22
Speaker 1: the doubt for some reason. Chat, I want you to
30:25
Speaker 1: direct your attention to the TV screen and tell me
30:28
Speaker 1: if you can see what flies through the air when
30:30
Speaker 1: she says a man might die, but not his ideas.
30:33
Speaker 2: It's very quick. Origin Species, Original Species.
30:44
Speaker 1: Yes, what it actually says is on the Origin of
30:46
Speaker 1: Species by Charles Darwin.
30:49
Speaker 2: Which was a book, which was a book that title
30:52
Speaker 2: seems truncated.
30:53
Speaker 1: Here's the full title, chat on the Origin of Species
30:57
Speaker 1: by means of natural selection or the preservation of Favored
31:02
Speaker 1: races in the Struggle for Life? Why is that in
31:06
Speaker 1: an Asa basis any other text? That is the only
31:11
Speaker 1: fucking book title that pops up in this video videos
31:17
Speaker 1: a fucking Nazi. I have no idea, but like, I
31:23
Speaker 1: feel like I could stop there because we have founded
31:26
Speaker 1: by a former Nazi. You got bread, got the bread,
31:30
Speaker 1: the band, the band name, potential Nazi reference. I'll even
31:35
Speaker 1: just say potential. You got the the Wings of the
31:38
Speaker 1: Eagle and the Perfect Man Mayo, which come right in
31:42
Speaker 1: the beginning of the song. And then then you have
31:45
Speaker 1: the verse about how one man can't rule the world
31:49
Speaker 1: and he might die, but his ideas won't. And as
31:52
Speaker 1: soon as she says his ideas won't, a book about
31:55
Speaker 1: the preservation of favored races pops off on the screen
32:01
Speaker 1: and chat. That book is one of the books that
32:04
Speaker 1: Adolf Hitler based the Nazi ideology off of. That's one
32:09
Speaker 1: of the tragic things about that book because it's not
32:12
Speaker 1: a racist book. It's dealing with like evolution basically people
32:19
Speaker 1: positive things. Yeah that people interpret it for their own gains.
32:23
Speaker 3: Well, that sounds to me like two pieces achieved. They're Adam, right,
32:26
Speaker 3: give me that hamburger. You want that hamburger?
32:29
Speaker 2: Check.
32:29
Speaker 1: I'm getting really uncomfortable with this, but it's fine, we'll
32:32
Speaker 1: keep going. So so there's that, there's Happy Nation. There's
32:37
Speaker 1: the fact that the album title was changed from Happy
32:40
Speaker 1: Nation to the Sign because maybe people in the US
32:43
Speaker 1: would have seen Happy Nation and been like what.
32:45
Speaker 3: Now that I would say is the weakest point of
32:47
Speaker 3: your arguments, because it's not.
32:49
Speaker 1: Okay, But it's also not one of my points. I
32:52
Speaker 1: didn't like put it in the notes here, but it.
32:55
Speaker 2: Was read the article. But yeah, but okay, I won't
32:59
Speaker 2: go after you on that point. Then well, no, what what?
33:03
Speaker 3: Just the Americans are dumb? So you just named the
33:05
Speaker 3: fucking album what the popular song is?
33:08
Speaker 2: Yeah?
33:08
Speaker 1: And also the Sign isn't on the version that was
33:11
Speaker 1: released in Sweden. So yeah, that's fine. So now let's
33:16
Speaker 1: talk about all that she wants because this album had
33:19
Speaker 1: three big singles, the Sign, which there's so much going
33:23
Speaker 1: on in that video.
33:24
Speaker 2: I don't that's like alien Nazis.
33:26
Speaker 1: I don't know what the fuck is happening in that
33:28
Speaker 1: video and their other big single was Don't Turn Around,
33:33
Speaker 1: which is a Tina Turner cover, so probably not a
33:36
Speaker 1: lot of Nazi references in that. But then there's All
33:39
Speaker 1: that She Wants No go, let's hear it. I need
33:43
Speaker 1: to hear it. The Ike Turner actually wrote the lyrics
33:47
Speaker 1: true story. I can't can't make abuse jokes like that
33:56
Speaker 1: check because yeah, because he'll hit you in the face
34:00
Speaker 1: because he's like Turner man. So the other single, All
34:06
Speaker 1: that She Wants is another baby and the.
34:11
Speaker 2: Band what have you believe?
34:13
Speaker 1: This song is about a woman who just sleeps around
34:16
Speaker 1: and doesn't want to like, she doesn't want to have
34:20
Speaker 1: a boyfriend. She wants to have a lot of boyfriends.
34:22
Speaker 1: But if you look at the lyrics, it's a lot more.
34:27
Speaker 1: It sounds a lot more like a woman who doesn't
34:31
Speaker 1: want to work and wants to have a baby so
34:34
Speaker 1: she doesn't have to work. And this is the first verse.
34:38
Speaker 1: When she woke up late in the morning light and
34:40
Speaker 1: the day had just begun, she opened up her eyes
34:43
Speaker 1: and thought, oh what a morning. It's not a day
34:45
Speaker 1: for work, It's a day for catching tan, just laying
34:49
Speaker 1: on the beach and having fun.
34:51
Speaker 2: She's going to get you now.
34:52
Speaker 3: The Nazis tan, because that would take away from your whiteness.
34:56
Speaker 3: To what degree is it acceptable for a Nazi or
34:59
Speaker 3: a white surprise, like, to what shade of white?
35:02
Speaker 2: How many shades down? There were some pretty tan Nazis.
35:05
Speaker 1: A lot of them worked out like outdoors and took
35:08
Speaker 1: their shirts off and things, showed off their big Nazi chests.
35:11
Speaker 1: I mean, they were like the worker bees. All the
35:13
Speaker 1: higher ups stayed inside and got all pasty white. But
35:16
Speaker 1: there were some tan Nazis, but no one's deliberately getting
35:19
Speaker 1: But also this, this person in the song isn't a Nazi.
35:23
Speaker 1: They're singing about a Jewish person. And if you're wondering,
35:28
Speaker 1: well know any jew. If you're wondering, like, how would
35:32
Speaker 1: you assume that the person in this song is Jewish?
35:37
Speaker 1: It's because in the first fifteen seconds of the video
35:40
Speaker 1: for All That She Wants, they just show the woman
35:43
Speaker 1: they're singing about stroking a necklace. That's just a bunch
35:47
Speaker 1: of star of David's why why in the video for
35:53
Speaker 1: the song about a woman who just wants to get
35:57
Speaker 1: pregnant and live off society, a welfare queen if you will,
36:00
Speaker 1: Which that alone, that idea is some right wing shit,
36:05
Speaker 1: like only the most right wing types actually think that
36:09
Speaker 1: stereotype is a real thing. Like there are select cases
36:14
Speaker 1: of welfare fraud, just like there are select cases of
36:18
Speaker 1: bank fraud in the world. It doesn't make everyone who
36:20
Speaker 1: has a bank account a bank fraud person. And so
36:26
Speaker 1: just the idea of that, and I get that they're
36:29
Speaker 1: you know, their excuses. Oh no, that's not what it's about.
36:31
Speaker 1: Then why all the star of David's in the beginning
36:33
Speaker 1: of the video.
36:34
Speaker 3: The other show I have with that music video is
36:36
Speaker 3: when she goes to get in a tanning bed, they
36:38
Speaker 3: call it a tanning oven.
36:41
Speaker 2: Don't know what that's about.
36:42
Speaker 1: And so let's in this video. I'll make it full
36:48
Speaker 1: screen just so you don't miss it. Chat here we go.
36:51
Speaker 1: We are six seconds in, I see it lots of
36:54
Speaker 1: lots of Nazis or not, lots of Jewish stars. And
37:00
Speaker 1: thirteen seconds in they make it a little more clear,
37:03
Speaker 1: so you can very clearly see that these are a
37:05
Speaker 1: bunch of six pointed stars on a chain that the
37:09
Speaker 1: woman they're singing about either just being of loose moral
37:15
Speaker 1: character or being a drain on society.
37:18
Speaker 2: She won't even hold that guy's end. She's uh, that's
37:22
Speaker 2: because she's she's a Jew chat.
37:26
Speaker 1: And I would if you're if you're listening to this
37:31
Speaker 1: and you're still on the fence again, let's let's let's
37:36
Speaker 1: stack it up.
37:37
Speaker 2: Let's stack it up.
37:38
Speaker 1: We have a former Nazi founds a band, or we
37:43
Speaker 1: assume we assume he's a former Nazi. He did not
37:47
Speaker 1: disavow any of this ship until that Vice article came out.
37:50
Speaker 1: So a Nazi starts a band, a band whose name
37:55
Speaker 1: is a Nazi reference. They have a song called Happy
38:01
Speaker 1: Nation that is just littered with Nazi references, including the
38:05
Speaker 1: name of the book Hitler in part based mind comp
38:09
Speaker 1: on flying through the Air when they say a man
38:12
Speaker 1: will die but not his ideas. And then there's this
38:17
Speaker 1: a song about At best, it's about a just a
38:22
Speaker 1: loose woman who shouldn't be trusted. Like they say, I'm
38:25
Speaker 1: she's going to get you so many times in this song,
38:28
Speaker 1: so it's at least if she's loose, you have a
38:30
Speaker 1: chance to escape. What god, oh my god, So at
38:37
Speaker 1: best the song is about that. At worst, it's about
38:40
Speaker 1: a woman who is a drain on society. Which does
38:44
Speaker 1: that rhetoric sound familiar? Students of Nazi Germany or students
38:49
Speaker 1: of the current or students of Nazi America, and then
38:54
Speaker 1: to cap all of that off twice in the first
38:57
Speaker 1: thirteen seconds in this video. They cannot stress enough that
39:03
Speaker 1: this unsavory woman they're singing about is also Jewish? Why
39:09
Speaker 1: why was that.
39:10
Speaker 2: So important to this video? Because it's not.
39:14
Speaker 1: I actually when I wrote the article, I was like,
39:17
Speaker 1: oh shit, yeah, you see it twice there. If you
39:20
Speaker 1: watch the whole video, the chick is just holding the
39:23
Speaker 1: thing up in the background the whole fucking time.
39:26
Speaker 2: So when you take all.
39:28
Speaker 1: Of that together, if they aren't a Nazi band, then
39:32
Speaker 1: why why is all of that in this Ace of
39:37
Speaker 1: Bass album? And there's other shit on that. They have
39:40
Speaker 1: a song called the Eyes of a Stranger, which sounds
39:43
Speaker 1: a lot like don't let strangers into your country because
39:46
Speaker 1: the chorus is like I see danger in the eyes
39:48
Speaker 1: of a stranger.
39:49
Speaker 3: Sorry, I can't stop smirking. But look at how many
39:51
Speaker 3: thumbs down this video as six you're gonna get magnis like,
39:59
Speaker 3: why is he gritting?
40:00
Speaker 2: An idiot? But forty nine million views? Six?
40:06
Speaker 1: Nine?
40:08
Speaker 2: Nice? Ah man, so nice? Like sixty nine and with
40:11
Speaker 2: a period? What gross?
40:15
Speaker 1: It's gross at least so yeah, we'll take this very seriously.
40:20
Speaker 3: But yeah, and that, Yeah, I think you got a
40:24
Speaker 3: burger there, you got a Nazi burger. Yeah, I just
40:26
Speaker 3: there's you know, there's other things you can listen to
40:29
Speaker 3: on the album. The song Eyes of a Stranger does
40:31
Speaker 3: sound like some xenophobic anti immigration shit. But even if
40:35
Speaker 3: every other song is just Tina Turner covers in fucking
40:39
Speaker 3: lighthearted dance stuff, why is all this Nazi shit in
40:44
Speaker 3: the rest of the album?
40:45
Speaker 2: You're's the one you're really missing.
40:47
Speaker 3: I saw the sign the signs a fucking twastika, but
40:53
Speaker 3: not if I had some very compelling evidence, that would
40:57
Speaker 3: be great.
40:58
Speaker 2: But in the video it's not unfortunate.
41:00
Speaker 3: But I assume there's some reference you're not catching. There
41:02
Speaker 3: has to be referenced.
41:03
Speaker 2: Well, let's watch it quick.
41:05
Speaker 1: It's because it is a weird video and there are
41:07
Speaker 1: a lot of strange signs. You said, that's the like
41:10
Speaker 1: flying Nazi thing flying around in the air. To me,
41:14
Speaker 1: all the ace of bass hits, like the three radio songs,
41:17
Speaker 1: they all sound the same to me, like they're interchange.
41:19
Speaker 2: They're all trash.
41:21
Speaker 1: I just hated as of bass. Oh they're emerging from
41:24
Speaker 1: the dark. None of them play instrument. See, yeah, so
41:30
Speaker 1: many quick changes.
41:42
Speaker 2: I swear the dude just gave a Nazi salute too.
41:50
Speaker 1: This video show Yeah, I don't know what sign is
41:52
Speaker 1: flying through the air in this song, but yeah, you have.
41:55
Speaker 2: To break this up frame by frame, but there is
41:57
Speaker 2: something hidden here. What's that flag? They're just like, for
42:00
Speaker 2: no reason, she see that. That's the thing.
42:03
Speaker 1: Now every time I see Asa Bass, I'm like, what
42:06
Speaker 1: Nazi shit are they doing?
42:12
Speaker 2: This song is upbeat side side?
42:28
Speaker 1: Can we just get it right out of the way
42:30
Speaker 1: that if they're gonna jettison anyone from their society, it
42:34
Speaker 1: needs to be that second singer. What the fuck is
42:36
Speaker 1: she doing there? Not because she doesn't even have blonde hair,
42:40
Speaker 1: but where do you belong Israel? Perhaps as wants to know, Uh,
42:47
Speaker 1: don't you turn that hand, sir?
42:50
Speaker 2: Okay, fuck these motherfuckers. Yeah.
42:52
Speaker 1: I watched the video for the sign. I couldn't find
42:55
Speaker 1: anything weird in it. But there's also a lot of
42:57
Speaker 1: symbols in that video that I don't understand, and it
43:01
Speaker 1: seems like the one they show the most is like
43:04
Speaker 1: a kind of a mishmash of two different symbols. So
43:08
Speaker 1: who fucking knows, but it doesn't. The sign doesn't have
43:11
Speaker 1: to be a Nazi fucking song.
43:13
Speaker 3: Have you gone out and done PR on this, like
43:15
Speaker 3: you should be on some publicity blitz like on all
43:18
Speaker 3: the shows talking about this.
43:19
Speaker 2: I don't know.
43:20
Speaker 1: I've thought of like trying to reach out to some
43:22
Speaker 1: other podcasts to see if it could be a thing
43:23
Speaker 1: like NPR come talk talk about.
43:26
Speaker 2: Who knows.
43:27
Speaker 1: We'll see, But for now, if anyone listening to Conspiracy
43:31
Speaker 1: the podcast right now would like or Conspiracy the show,
43:34
Speaker 1: I forget what it's called. I only do it every week.
43:37
Speaker 1: If anyone would like to spread this around and tell
43:40
Speaker 1: people that you saw the sign and it opened up
43:43
Speaker 1: your eyes, and your eyes saw another sign that said
43:47
Speaker 1: Asa Bassis a bunch of fucking Nazis.
43:49
Speaker 3: I always thought the lyric was I saw the sign,
43:51
Speaker 3: It opened up my eyes sixty nine?
43:53
Speaker 1: What oh no, it's another sixty nine. That's what I
43:57
Speaker 1: always we are getting them in so like the mouth parts,
44:05
Speaker 1: that's my ASA base conspiracy. This is like the second
44:09
Speaker 1: episode I've done where it's just a conspiracy.
44:11
Speaker 2: On my own baby. What was the other one?
44:14
Speaker 1: Uh? I am of the belief that Baseball, at least
44:18
Speaker 1: if they didn't manufacture the steroid scandal, they at least
44:21
Speaker 1: encouraged it because they knew they were going to have
44:24
Speaker 1: to discredit Barry Bonds somehow. Why because they knew he
44:28
Speaker 1: was gonna break the home run record. And everyone in
44:30
Speaker 1: baseball fucking hates Barry Bonds because Barry Bonds is a dick,
44:35
Speaker 1: But he's also inarguably the greatest baseball player of all time.
44:41
Speaker 2: Exclusive it's not because he was black.
44:43
Speaker 1: It's probably partly that, but a lot of it has
44:47
Speaker 1: to do with him just being an asshole who like,
44:49
Speaker 1: he didn't care about talking to the media, he didn't
44:51
Speaker 1: care about signing autographs. He was just like, can I
44:54
Speaker 1: just fucking play baseball and go home? And they didn't
44:58
Speaker 1: like that. He's not a marketable personalit how many, even
45:01
Speaker 1: before the steroid scandal, how many fucking endorsement deals do
45:06
Speaker 1: you remember Barry Bonds having? How many commercials do you
45:08
Speaker 1: remember him being in? None because people fucking hated Barry.
45:12
Speaker 1: I remember the Simpsons softball episode. That's not the same thing,
45:16
Speaker 1: And that was probably after the Barry Bonds thing, wasn't it.
45:19
Speaker 2: No, that was before? When did it? When was the
45:21
Speaker 2: Simpsons episode?
45:22
Speaker 3: It had to have been mid middle mid late nineties,
45:26
Speaker 3: but I think middle nineties really that's anyway.
45:31
Speaker 1: So that's that's my Those are my feelings on ASA base.
45:34
Speaker 1: I don't even like to call it a conspiracy theory.
45:36
Speaker 1: I just want you all to know we bought twenty
45:39
Speaker 1: five million copies of a Nazi album in the United States.
45:43
Speaker 2: I thought it was only nine million in the UNIT.
45:44
Speaker 1: Oh that's right, nine million in the United States. Twenty
45:47
Speaker 1: five million worldwide, but nine million in the US. That's
45:51
Speaker 1: that's that's not nothing.
45:53
Speaker 3: So what you're saying is one out of every six
45:55
Speaker 3: people who voted for Trump. Wait how many elections votes
45:58
Speaker 3: to get trying to do? I don't fucking know who cares.
46:03
Speaker 3: And yeah, it like like it came out right on
46:05
Speaker 3: the when grunge was really.
46:08
Speaker 1: A thing people needed anything that people Everything on the
46:12
Speaker 1: radio is so fucking sad, five six, seven, eight years
46:16
Speaker 1: before fastball will give you the way and think about
46:18
Speaker 1: it though. That's kind of how Nazism takes hold in
46:22
Speaker 1: a country.
46:23
Speaker 2: People just need something different.
46:24
Speaker 1: People are so like in Nazi Germany, it was that
46:30
Speaker 1: people were so fucking broken by what happened after World
46:33
Speaker 1: War One and then the stock market crash in the
46:37
Speaker 1: United States happens, which fucking res Germany's economy and everyone
46:41
Speaker 1: is just living in misery, and they're like, fuck, okay,
46:44
Speaker 1: we'll we'll try out this different thing, even though it's
46:47
Speaker 1: very different from what we normally like. And in the
46:50
Speaker 1: United States it was you know, rural people who were like,
46:55
Speaker 1: no politician ever fucking listens to us, and we're all
46:58
Speaker 1: dying of opioids and we need our cold jobs back and.
47:01
Speaker 2: True, I like that guy in the TV show.
47:03
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then Trump shows up and goes, hey, I
47:06
Speaker 1: know I just hosted a reality show and went bankrupt
47:08
Speaker 1: a bunch of times, But how about me? And they
47:11
Speaker 1: were like, fine, how about you? And now we have
47:14
Speaker 1: to hopefully kick a Nazi out of office or become
47:18
Speaker 1: Nazi point two point zero.
47:21
Speaker 3: And hey, listen the Nazis or armbands that were red
47:26
Speaker 3: and white. Yeah Trump supporters, red hats. Very different, very
47:34
Speaker 3: very different, very different, and yeah with asa bass. Like
47:38
Speaker 3: the state of popular music at the time was a
47:41
Speaker 3: lot of fucking sullen Nirvana grunge type shit, even though
47:47
Speaker 3: Nirvana was like far and away the most upbeat of
47:49
Speaker 3: those bands. But and people were just like, please, can
47:54
Speaker 3: we dance to something and what they got was a
47:58
Speaker 3: fucking Nazi album and they were like, fine, we're not
48:01
Speaker 3: even listening to these lyrics. And they sold nine million
48:04
Speaker 3: copies of a Nazi album in the United States.
48:07
Speaker 2: It's impressive. What happened to the band. I mean, they're
48:10
Speaker 2: still like around.
48:11
Speaker 1: They were gonna do a reunion at one point, like,
48:14
Speaker 1: I don't know, let's trick.
48:15
Speaker 2: Him on the pod. Uh. I don't feel like it's
48:18
Speaker 2: that far fetched. He We tried that at Cracked.
48:20
Speaker 1: We wanted to sit this dude down for an interview
48:23
Speaker 1: and he wasn't going for it.
48:25
Speaker 2: But it was with the context of you're a Nazi.
48:27
Speaker 2: Uh No, I don't think so.
48:29
Speaker 3: What if I start a campaign to get them to
48:30
Speaker 3: play my living room? No, and over time I earned

Speaker 3: their trust to at least come on the pod.
