Hi ho, Hello, Hello everybody, and welcome to Honey Badger Radio. My name is Brian and this is HBr News O. Hi hose Um and also our subscribers and followers. Welcome to Honey Badger Radio. My name is Brian. I'm joined by my lovely co host Mike Jay and doctor randomercamp. Hannah Wallen is not in this week because she has strep throat. Hopefully she will be better by Thursday and you will see her for HBr talk. Um. So as in the Chat for Hannah, Yeah, Chat for Hannah. Put some give Hannah some support. So you are joined this week by myself, Brian Martinez, Doctor Random mccam, Mike j and Jojo who is tuckered out from doing pupper activities all day. Um. And but that's not what this is about. We're gonna be talking about the news today or the news of the week. This week. We're gonna be talking about the box office results, or at least the way that it's been reported by mainstream media of the Barbie Movies opening weekend. A Toronto man commits suicide after a struggle session, which is kind of like there's an overarching theme to this that I want to sort of touch on, which is called um it's it is a something that we've been dealing with called political nullification, which I'm gonna I'm gonna go into a bit. Another man challenges perhaps I could translate for you the words struggle into two different languages. In German it is called camp in Arabic. In Arabic this is called jihad. M yes, I want to know, I know what I want to hear it in, like, um, whatever Chinese language that is appropriate. So the great lead forward. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah. You can't make an omelet without breaking a few eggs. Um so anyway, Yeah, so another young is struggling bojang that's right, No, no, dojang dojan? Oh okay? Cool? Um anyway. Another man challenges folks to try that in a small town, which is also related and more so, stick around. It's gonna be a good time. I think it's gonna be a good show today. I have some lots of thoughts on things that I wasn't sure I was going to even talk about until like we came to this point, um, hello til Deer, Til deer in a chat, shout out for til deer. By the way, I had this. I don't know if you saw it, Mike. So by the way, guys, Mike and Roarn were staying at my place over the weekend and we hung out here and we drank and we did other things and we sang songs and it was a really really good time. But I have this thing that I bought years ago. I was in a Macy's in downtown Chicago, and I was just like walking through there because you know, you go from one train to another and you can like walk through this sort of underground pathway and there's like shops. It's sort of like a mall. And there was this gift shop. Somebody I was with was looking around and I saw this teal deer, literally because it was around Christmas time and so there was this deer and it had like teal glitter all over it. And I bought it because I thought of teal deer, and I have it in the living room and I was wondering, Mike, you might not have noticed it but it was. It's kind of hard to miss. Next time, I'll bring it and I'll put it on the Jojo camp so that you guys can see it. Or maybe i'll do it when Tellier comes on, because he's gonna be coming on the show to discuss some stuff with us soon ish, so maybe i'll do that. But anyway, big digression, I'm sorry, but yes, you did see the teal here. Okay, so yeah you saw it anyway. Um, so we're gonna be discussing that for the topics, and please stick around for the patron only show. On this patron only show, I saw this interesting article from our friends at The Guardian entitled gen z want to work lazy girl jobs? Who can blame them by this lovely young woman lady woman thing named Daisy Jones. And I guess there's a new TikTok trend that sees young women is shoeing hustle culture to focus outside on life outside of work. Perhaps they are beating capitalism at its own game. So we will read through that article and find out what Daisy Jones has in store for us, what kind of revolutionary Yeah, yeah, I know, I know. I was gonna do something on snow White the because I thought it'd be lighter and you know, less cringe. But I couldn't find anything that was that, you know, had what I was looking for or yet, other than this little interview that the main actress did, and I don't think there's much doesn't that there'sn't a lot of meat on that bone. So I thought this might be act all the meat in like two minutes if you give it to me. Uh, from that interview, there's no white like taking snow White and stripping literally everything the original had away. Yeah, the dwarfs, they've removed all but one of them. Now they're magical forest creatures of vaguely brown descent and you can see indigenous if they if they did go ahead and employ seven dwarf axes, then you can only imagine the backlash that would be pissed. Well Peter things for one, but he's speaking for the rest of the of the of the ver community. Oh yeah, you can't employ seven dwarves. That's exploiting seven dwarves. You can only like one dwarf. Dwarf actors are out there like, what the fuck, dude, you just cost us a job. Yeah, although you know I've heard the Peter Dnklich interview, and I just want to say I don't think he was offended. I think he was trying to crack a joke, and I think everybody took it seriously, and because frankly, like if you guys don't know, Peter Jackson managed to cast a lot of dwarves and none of them were actually dwarves, but he made it work. So I mean, if he could, if he can do it with actual normal sized human beings, I don't see why they couldn't do the same, and I think it might have been better. So but whatever, I don't think I think that that the Peter Dinklich thing is going to be used as an excuse for them not to actually do you know the way that they did Hobbits and dwarves right, so they can actually they can further change yet another thing, so they can. They also they're gonna make, you know, snow white the most identifying characteristic about her now gone, because you know, despite you know, I'm sure snow based lady, but yeah, she's got snow white. There's some skin, there's some coffee in that cream. Sooner or later you're gonna see a remake of the Wizard of Oz. Oh. Yeah, Disney doesn't own it right now, but when they do, there will be no munch kids. There will just be black people. She's gonna land in Detroit. Um but anyway, So, and the last thing I'll say about snow White is that, um, I don't see how Galga Dot is less attractive than whoever's plays no one. Yeah, just seriously, It's like, there's there's no worse, no idea of all the shit you're trying to pull, this is the most defensive Yeah, come on, come on. I don't care what you guys think about Galghada as a person, but she is gorgeous and there's no way that there's anyone else. What if I told you is mid we'll get it. Don't speak zoomers, So I don't know what you're saying, but one least thing he'd be busting for real, for real. One last thing this is this is what they're doing now, And I think this is probably the most egregious example of taking a property and stripping literally every identifying characteristic away from us. You know, Hollywood is pointing to a pile of shit and they're saying that's a hamburger and I'm like, no, that's a pile of shit. Like, well, yeah, we replaced the bun with shit, and the meat with shit, and the pickles, onions, tomato, catchup, mayonnaise, Mustard Special Schauce with shit, but it's still a hamburger. And I'm like, no, it's a pile of shit. That's what I call the shit of theseus snow Latina and the seven kinds of Chipotle Sauce. Okay, okay, I think we've said enough offensive things about snow white that it's it will offend itself. Yeah, no, it's fine. We got it, um and I think again, I could say more, but we should move on. But anyway, if you guys want to join us in the aftershow for this lovely gen z want to work lazy girl jobs, who can blame them?

Okay, with all that done, let's get into today's stories. So I mean, Mike j I you said that, Um you you said that you started them, so you might have some input on some of these, because I what I did was I made some bullet points of things that I wanted to touch on and some quotes from other articles. So you know, if you want to feel free to add. But we're gonna start with this story. This is um Toronto principle pictured here, Richard bilk sits built Zoe. I think took his own life after a diversity, equity and inclusion struggle session. Built built Zo built Bilk Zoe. I'm sorry, I can't pronounce it. Was an educator for twenty four years. In twenty twenty one, the Toronto District School Board administ raiders bullied him, according to a lawsuit by the defendant, repeatedly referring to his comments as examples of white supremacy. So this is a quote from the National Post. His sin in the eyes of facilitators at the Kojo Institute was his questioning of their claim that Canada was a mere more racist place than the United States. Canada wasn't perfect, he said, but it still offers a lot of good. For the rest of the training session and throughout a follow up training session the week after, facilitators repeatedly referred to bilk Zoe's comments as examples of white supremacy. The experience was humiliating, particularly because Biltzo placed a great emphasis on equality and antidiscrimination during his career. So this guy was a progressive. He was woke, not as woke as these the people who bullied him, but he was you know, he would identify in that way. I don't know if I would identify him as woke. He just seemed to be an upstanding guy. Well from more they've co opted these things, these were examples of traits you wanted to have. Well, I guess if we only see woke as a pejorative, I'm saying that there are people like like Brett Weinstein, for example, who would still consider himself to be a progressive that are that have crossed, like you know, an invisible boundary with with the cult and he gets attacked and called the conservative as a result, which I'm going to get into on that. And this guy I think is the same because they were saying and I think there's another thing too that could be at play here that I will I will touch on after this is over. It's sort of like Canada Canadians views on America. Um, there's another level to that. And I think if there's any Canadians or people who know Canadians in the child, you might kind of know where I'm going with that. But let me right. Yeah, so the TDSB distanced himself from him. One colleague thanked him for modeling the discomfort a day or two after the second training session, so he was basically going to training sessions i e. Struggles sessions. Bilso fell into a mental health crisis, spending a month away from work. He won a workers' compensation claim for his loss of earnings, but the board refused to investigate the bullying incident. When he returned to work, the TDSB refused to reinstate him in the role he was in prior to taking leave, and revoked his work contract for the next year. He also was disinvited for attending a graduation sentiment ceremony. Bilso filed a lawsuit against t DSB administrators. T DSB launched a subsequent lawsuit against Kojo Institute, but later told The National Post it planned to discontinue that claim. Friends and family of Bilso say he was anxious and anticipated backlash over the legal proceedings, and last week he succumbed to his distress. Bilso was a specialist in adult education, working in schools where students were aga and above, and often faced unique barriers to academic success, having not graduated on time in the regular program, for having recently immigrated to Canada, he was well liked by many of his students, so he worked with, you know, people who were immigrants or people who struggled, like adults who struggled with education. So clearly not racist because immigrants are likely not like you, or at least there's a pretty good chance of it. There's a lot of people who immigrate to Canada from, for example, the Caribbean, as well as India and other parts of the world that are not Europe. So from the National Post quote. Aside from his work as an educator, Bilzo was an advocate. He was a member of the Toronto chapter of the Foundation Against Intolerance and Racism, an advocacy organization dedicated to civil rights and antidiscrimination, which he took the lead in establishing. In education specifically, he was a member of SOSTDSP, an organization working to reserve the district merit based admission system for specialty programs. The TDSP recently again using a lottery system to admit students, to the ire of many. So, if I have this about right, the offense this man committed was not to insinuate any prejudice, let alone to express any racism, never mind to incite any violence. His offense was to, shall we say, afloat the idea that Canada is not necessarily worse than the US, along the already dubious metric of what the woke like to call racism. Needless to say, this would not be an offense if it was voiced within the US. In the US, it is considered progressive to consider the US to be the world's worst nation. In Canada, it is considered progressive to consider Canada to be the world's worst nation. In the UK, it is considered progressive to consider the UK to be yea yea. And from there we can draw lightly on what we really mean on when we refer to what is quote unquote considered progressive, and what we mean is and I'm sorry to flog a dead horse when I do this, but likecophobia, likecophobia is well likecophobia as a gnostic inversion of human nature and of nature on the whole. It appears to be part of human nature and all nature to have some kind of in group preference. All of nature is an arms race between various adapted forms of in group preference. The social contagion we call woke is the process of turning nature completely outside down on the basis that nature must surely be wrong, and so instead of nations competing to be the best, competing to be the most proud and singular and independent, you get basically the opposite. You get this downward purity spiral where every country competes to be the most masochistically self hating and self destructive. And it has to be said that despite the very stiff competition, Canada is winning on that particular battle ground. Is there a developed country and ostensibly developed country in living memory that has not carried out more contempt for its own citizens than just in Trudeau's Canada. You can't have freedom of speech, you can't have medical choice, you can't complain about your lack of medical choice, or else. You can't have your money or your bank accounts. And you cannot, under any circumstances defend Canada. You must defend the Trudeau regime, which which, for the sake of argument, we're calling Canada. But you cannot defend the outdated notion of what's called Canada before the glorious dear leader took over the notion we call Canada, even though they call the same thing. I hope it's as clear as can be. The Canadian government is good, but the Canadian people is bad. And it's the same in every other Western nation. Our people are racist, sexist assholes, but our government is going to fix it. And needless to say, when we say we're helping Ukraine, we mean we're helping the Ukrainian people, even though we're only helping the Ukrainian government. And when we say we're fighting Russia, we mean we're fighting the Russian government, even though we're only hurting the Russian people. You'll guess it's as good as mine. Fox, do leave a comment below. I apologize for the tangent. No, I don't know. You get what you don't have to. I wanted to add something else too. I think that, like if I considered that this man and a lot of like that he was part, he wasn't just like a decent guy. He was part of an organization that was, you know, interested in like some form of equity. He may not have been like as you know, as far out as the people who bullied him, but they were probably on the same page until they appeared to cross a line in his eyes by saying that Canada is even worse than America and he was like, well, I don't think that that's necessarily true. Now there is a question that this raises with me, that is, one, are you going, is that suggesting that America is in fact worse than Canada? Or is it suggesting that America and Canada are probably not as bad as these people believe. Now I understand that, and this is not true of all Canadians. I don't I you know, I don't mean to generalize, but one of the things I used to talk with my wife about who is from Canada is what Canadian identity is, because when she came to the States to be with me, she noticed, like, especially in Chicago, that there in Chicago is not particularly patriotic, right because it's it's a pretty corrupt city, But there are people who celebrate their holidays, and there's a lot of people who own their own businesses. And she was like, oh, I've never seen so many like you know, mom and pop shops and small businesses around here and stuff, because they don't really have them in Canada. And I was like saying, well, what's what is um? What do you think the Canadian like identity is? Like? What is it? You know? Because in America we have a kind of somewhat maybe not necessarily completely agreed upon idea about what America is and what and and Brits, you know they are there is a Britishness, you know that that or an Englishness even that they acknowledge. I mean, I think all of this stuff is being erased, right, like it's being sort of, um, you know, pushed aside. But there is something that was there, right and and and and and she said that, um in the terms of how she was educated and what she was exposed to. She was like, you know, it's funny. I think that Canadian and identity is just that we're not America. Like we're better than them. You know, We're more polite, we're more giving, we're all these we're just better. We do not land acknowledgements right for the for the indigenous people and all that. And at this time, you know, she was still kind of like more on the left right, let's say, at the time, and that was what she believed it. As time went on, she started to appreciate American patriotism. And I know that for some it's obnoxious, right because we're really loud about that, But I think that there there I think the Canadians do believe, and I think they are taught to believe that as bad as they are, they're not as bad as America because America's worse, right, Like in the British do the same thing. Oh, you guys had the slavery, you guys had the Jim Crow, you guys had this, And I think all that shit is blown out of proportion. It's all done to make America look awful, even though everyone keeps fucking coming here. So I have to wonder about that as well. So it's almost like this guy was kind of on that boat, if you know, I might be wrong. I don't know, because he's not around anymore. But that wasn't enough for these people. And that brings me to the other thing I wanted to mention. Struggle sessions are a form of psychological torture. They are only effective on people who are nothing like what they are accused of. This guy is not the person they're saying he is. That's why it was so distressing for him. That's why you know, he probably apologized. He probably tried to figure out what he could do to get back in the good graces of his colleagues, of his peers, and it wasn't enough, and I think they drove him to this point. Now, what they really wanted was for him to simply submit and just do as he's told, but he went, you know, he went off the deep end and took his own life. And that's really unfortunate and I'm really sorry about that, but they did that to him. We have to start acknowledging that struggles sessions and all this cancel culture shit and all that though, that is psychological torture. It is there to harm you. It doesn't. Now I'm not saying it does physical harm obviously, no, but that is the purpose. And it only works on people who care about how they are perceived. And so the only way you can beat it is to not care, because you have to understand these people are bad actors. They're not actually concerned about the things that they're accusing you of, just like feminists, right, they'll accuse you of misogyny, but they don't actually care about misogyny. They just know it works on you because they know that you care about women and you care about being called a misogynist. That's why I refuse to use that word, because I know that it's their language. If you use their language, then you are playing by their rules and you will lose because they have rigged the game for themselves. So I'm really upset that, you know, sad that this guy took his own life. I think it's a shame. But again, if you run with wolves, you're going to get bitten. He probably didn't know how bad it was. And now we're here, we are and this is another thing you have to remember too. No one is safe when you're in that camp and you and you're participating in that. Even even over here with us right there are people who will become purity testers and there'll be a spiral and someone is not going to be you know, like anti woken up or woken up or whatever, and they're gonna end up getting bullied and pushed out. And we have to stop that because that is what they want. That is what they want. So um, that's that's what I want to say about that. I got more to say on this whole thing. I have this bullet point list I made talking about political nullification and all of the things that it is. But but I have two more stories that are sort of related because I want to explain to you how political nullification can be fought against, which is why I have this Jason what's his name? Um, the country singer guy Um. I have that, and also the Barbie movie because I think it also can work in the opposite direction. So what I mean to say about yeah, go ahead, my switch topics. I don't want to pretend to know what was in this guy's head or in this guy's soul. I'm only going based on what I've seen people say about him, and for all intents and purposes, he was a decent man. I'm sure he was. They had several of his colleagues say things like, you know, he was always compassionate, caring. He believed about giving people second chances. He did not care what circumstances you came from. He was always willing to help. He made me feel like a rock star, no matter you know what time of the day it was. He always said high to everybody. And it's clear that, you know, he had some pushback on this, so you know, even if he was with it to a certain extent, he clearly had problems with where they were going with this. And to call this a case of bullying, I believe does not do this man's death justice. This was just a case of bullying. They stripped a position away from this man. They cost him prestige, they cost him a livelihood. And that's not just bullying, that's not just you know, banter, that's not just someone saying mean words to you. That's someone using their position to strike at you. Yeah, and and about these these things you know they want to you want to talk about dog whistles. The biggest dog whistle you should hear is consulting firm. Oh yeah, oh yeah, why don't you hear that? Get your shit ready to go, because don't participate with this, Just don't do it. They don't have a problem with racism, they don't have a problem with with with you know, sexism, or or any of these other istophobes. Their problem is that you exist. That is their problem with you, and you deciding to play along with this, They're going to weaponize your decency against you. Don't go along with it, just say no, I'd rather not. And if that's what ends up costing you your job, that is so much better of going along with this and and and letting them actually note what's going on with you and then getting lambassad as this horrible monster. Yeah, and that's really what these groups are. These groups are just monsters. Absolutely, It's a cult and and that's really actually that's the way you beat them. I think that, Um, if if you can provide significant evidence that this is a religion, then you can get it out of all of this ship in the same way that they always try to get you know, Um, they use the same arguments against other people that they don't like, the namely Christians. Let's be real, that's who gets attacked when it comes to religious folks. So um, but yes, I agree, Mike. I think he was a decent man. I think that most people when they get involved with this, they just they just think this is the way you do it right. This is you know, like that, and that is all completely fair. But you like, the lesson here is that you have to have a line, and you have to you can't let these people essentially torture you this way, because that's what it is, especially when and when they cancel you, because that's what you know, I already talked about this last week. The difference between boycotts and cancelations is that boycotts are I don't want to participate in or buy your products. So I'm not going to spend my money on you because that's my choice, because it's my money. And cancelation is you shouldn't be allowed to exist. So we're gonna like get you fired, We're gonna get you on person, We're gonna debank you, We're going to, you know, essentially drive you out of out of polite society completely. There's if you want to buy bud Light, hey, more power to you. Yeah, there's a lot of it in stores right now. Yeah, and it's very cheap. I'm not going to buy it, right, that's the difference. That's a culture in a boycott. That's exactly right. It is that simple. It is that simple. So um anyway, So I will have a poll, but I'm not gonna set it up yet because I want to get through a little bit more of this and I want to get your thoughts on on on this political nullification thing that I'm looking at. Um, but I have does anyone else have any thoughts on this gentleman's unfortunate suicide. I hope his his family and his estate take these people to the cleaners. Yeah, I hope it's so bad that they have to disband this little consulting firm, this little committee that they've calledbled together for themselves, and I hope they are never allowed to do this to another individual ever. Again. Absolutely, Okay, um So, I got some super chows right now, and I am using, Well, let me just go ahead and do the super chows here. So I have some from like a couple days ago. I'm gonna read those out too. Um So, Brian the filthy liberal gives me or gives us ten and says thank you for the advocacy on the Caitlin Moran maintaining frame. If more people realize men's well being is a non partisan issue, I think it helps the cause. Ps. I personally give props to Caitlin Moran for taking the side of Kemeopalia and defending men in the monk debates. Yeah, I mean, I don't think that Caitlin Moran should. My concern is that she's going to control the conversation. I'm gonna be honest, that's my concern because feminists, when they see that there's an opportunity for them to make money or take charge of a conversation, they're going to do it. And I think that working with feminists, I wouldn't work with her. I'll just put it that way. That's just me. You guys do what you want. I'm not working with her. Okay, thank you, Brian the filthy liberal I'm a saying, gives us five dollars, thank you. I'm a saying and says fuck you, EA, you killed Ultima. Fuck you the spoony one. I think that was because I was playing an EA game over the weekend. I was streaming it um and it needed like a gigantic patch for no fucking reason. I would saying. I'm saying, I'm gonna say, I'm saying that's That's what it plays out in my head every time I hear you'll use the name. Yeah. Yeah, it's just me just letting you up. So it's not just you yeah, um, it's it's a Michael Jackson song. Oh I know it, Oh, I know it. Yeah, of course, the first song from thrill Uh. Sorry, you want to start starting something? It's starting something, isn't it that you want to be started? It's first track off of Thrilling. Yeah, and Engine I'm gonna say, I'm a signing au Mama saying yeah, okay, okay, that's always want to bet that's want to be starting something. Yes, it's want to be starting something. Yeah, it's good. It's a good song. Um, nobody knows what it means, but it means somebody. Well, I mean and if you if you can't have a baby, then don't have a baby. Yeah. Yeah, I think there's a lesson in America. Um okay, anyway, so let's let's let me let me do the next super Child. Lauren, you want to sit in with us, I'll add you to the panel here. Um she's done, so oh yeah, do what you gotta do now. We were we were singing over the weekend. Guys. It was a lot of fun. Um we did we did walk like an Egyptian and my my wife was like, I never heard the lyrics of this song. They're fucking weird. Yeah right. Um, oh, Joejoe, are you okay? Oh he's having a dream. He's he's twitching. Um playing. Dane gives us five dollars, says, hey, HBr, I've reached out to coach Castle and asked if he would do a live stream with you. He has fitness YouTube channel called Ussel's Corner Biomechanical Bodybuilding and more recently he started posting on his community page anti feminist means and comments. That's why I asked him if he would reach out to HBr hope to see him on. I did get an email. I don't know if it was from him or from someone else recommending him, but I did get an email. I haven't responded to it yet, but thank you playing Dane if you're listening, because I know this is from yesterday. Oh no, this from this morning. So thank you Playing Dane for that. And then we got um, well, okay, hold on, somebody, it's Richard bare I think he wants me to play this sound because every time, um, he does this. So Richard Bierre um says he's his name is he's John Cena and his name is John sis Um. Okay, and he gives us one hundred dollars. Thank you so much, very nice. At those sounds are coming through, Yeah, it might be. I'm sorry, there might be something wrong. I hope they're coming through better on the stream. They should be coming through on the stream. Fine, I don't know what. We got a big stretch out of judge, that's there. Oh yeah, he did. He did give us a big stretch um. And he gives one hundred dollars and then five dollars in the same and says, waiting for the race swapped Tarzan to come out. Oh, that's probably spicy. They're probably not gonna make that movie. I think they're just gonna act like it doesn't exist, or or they're gonna make a whole different film where Tarzan is hunted and killed by highly advanced Wakondens because he's appropriating or something, or he's like he's like invading. I don't know. They'll they'll figure something out. They'll figure something out. Maybe they'll make him a woman. If you do that, then you can get away with all of it. Just make him a woman and you're done. Make it. Make her like a South Korean woman. That'll really confuse him. Um, and Jane will become John or Jane will a Jane, and then we'll get even more points right the d I will be through the roof. Um okay. But anyway, so thank you for the super chows. Guys appreciate it, and we are going to get into the next story. Let us know what you guys think about this in the comments. All right, next we're gonna be talking about Barbie. So full disclosure. I have not seen the film. I really don't want to watch it. I've heard horrible things. But it is making a lot of money, and um, I gotta like at least acknowledge that and maybe like give a mention about it. So last week, um, well, we talked about on the show how badly Hollywood is doing. The Disney is selling like a third of their their what they own. I guess like they're putting it on market. Um, nobody's watching their shit. It's failing left, right and center. There's flop after fly. They're spending so much money. Meanwhile, smaller projects like what was that one, Sound of Freedom, they're like, you know, made on nothing, and they're making shit tons of money and c suit onund for pound this month, by pound for pound this year. By the way, the Sound of Freedom has made the most money if you if you take the total budget and um, do some math there with the amount of money they've made, they've made more than the Disney or than the Mario movie has. Yeah, because because they spend twelve million dollar budget and they made let's see, let's open box office mojo. The numbers may have changed since I last checked. Yeah, see what are they sitting at right now? One hundred and twenty four point four million, So they've made back about what that's ten times m Mario movie hasn't done that. They made a lot of money, don't get me wrong. Yeah, but on a on a budget of let's see where they at. So on a budget of one hundred million, they've made one point three So you know that's pretty good too. It's good too, It's good, and I mean again, there are there There were some good things like Mario did well, John Wick four did well, Mission Impossible is doing well, and c SU did really well. It was made on almost nothing. I think it was like a four million or six million dollar budget for that movie. So there are good things coming out. But of course the mainstream Hollywood world is not gonna promote that. They're not gonna acknowledge that. And so I had this article from Comic book Movie dot Com that the headline reads and you can't read it because JoJo's blocking, But I think you prefer that anyway. Barbie Score's biggest opening day of twenty twenty three has already passed one hundred and fifty million globally. Mike, were you gonna say something. I know you were trying to speak up, but I have a long ass thing of this thing to say about a thing. I'm gonna let uk thro all right, let me get let me get through my thing. Yeah. Yeah. So anyway, so when you look at the landscape of Hollywood, it's not good, right, flops everywhere, failing, and now there's like a writers strike, and not just the writer strike, but I guess there's a lot of other people in the business that are striking, and Hollywood has actors. Yeah, the actors are striking whatever. And Hollywood's history of throw money at it until it makes money, it doesn't seem to be working. The di shit is killing them. Nobody has talent, they're afraid they're gonna be replaced by AI and all of that. Meanwhile, smaller projects that are just like getting back to basics are doing really well, right or the people who just ignore the bullshit and they just try to deliver a product that people want, like the Mario Brothers movie for example, or John Wick. So with that, you would think that if you didn't know there was a strike, considering the quality of film, you would think that they've been on strike for years because everything's been shit, but the Hollywood Reporter says about this film, Barbie, the summer box office went nuclear. Filmmaker Greta Gerwig's female fuel Barbie open to a historic one hundred and fifty five million dollars domestically, a threshold usually reserved for mail driven superhero fare or marquis i p such as the final Harry Potter movie. It came in well ahead of an expected ninety million dollars two hundred and ten million dollars and helped fuel one of the biggest weekends in history. Barbie, which brings to life Mattel's iconic fashion doll, is also strutting to big numbers overseas. The Pick launched to an impressive one hundred and eighty two million from seventy markets for a global bout of three hundred and thirty seven million against a one hundred and forty five million dollar production budget. In North America, Barbie scored the biggest domestic star ever for a movie directed by a woman, solo or otherwise. That's the first weekend though. So I gotta say this because I think it's very important. I think most of you guys know this. Barbie succeeded because of the marketing, And how did the marketing succeed? They basically lied about what was in the movie, completely completely lied about it. So go ahead, Mike, what were we gonna say? Well, yeah, well I was gonna say what you were about to say. And I hope I'm not trending on your parade. But I have to say it's tiresome to hear so many people way in with this lukewarm take of low. I'm not going to talk about the Barbie movie. I'm not a child, I'm not a woman. You're gay if you talk about the Barbie movie. Blah blah blah. Where this is coming from a lot of people who have made it their business to talk about the excesses of modern gender ideology every week, if not every day, you find multiple examples of how this work nonsense has a manifested and yes, another facet of broader society. Oh look, some chicks have been pretending to be NPCs on tektok ice cream, young La, let's all talk about it. Oh look, gangg okay, sorry, Oh look, children are being indoctrinated into inter sessionalist feminists dogma against their will. Let's talk about well, here you go. I don't care about the pornography that schools are showing to children. I'm not a child, I'm not the Tiger audience, So fuck it. I can't possibly understand the source material, and I would be cringe and gay if I tried to bitch snap out of it. This is what's happening now, and on a large scale, it's a piece of history. Students of the applicable arts will be discussing this Bobby movie and its implications for maybe two years, or maybe two hundred years. You can't know the historical significance of something until we find ourselves in the aforementioned future. So you need to find the parts of contemporary anthropology that most discussed you, because those that discussed you most are the excesses that are most probably going to be in the history books. And you need to stay into that abyss, not for long enough for the abyss to stare back, just for long enough for you to briefly report on the nature of that abyss and move on to the next current thing. If you just want to get on with your life and ignore what's going on in Hollywood and in the news, by all means, please do ignore it. But if it's someone else's job to pay attention to these things, or just their hobby or their passion to pay attention to these things, then let them get on with it, especially if it's also your job or hobby or passion and you're supposed to be talking about this exact sort of thing too. Oh, generic internet personality whom I keep seeing on social media scoffing or this whole affair like it's beneath you. It's It's like a feminist saying, I'm not going to watch Sound of Freedom. It's a man film about some big, macho man who thinks it's going to save the innocent from some nefarious conspiracy of powerful entities, which is obvious ence. I'm going to stick with patriarchy theory. No, I am not comparing feminist patriarchy conjecture with the notion that child trafficking exists equilaterally. I'm just saying it doesn't hurt to actually watch the things being talked about. It doesn't hurt to watch a movie that was not intended for you. In fact, you probably should in the event that such a movie might be shown to your children or your nieces and nephews. Or just the children of your friends. At any point in the next ten years, shall we say, like you can't just go well this doesn't matter to me right now. Well look into the slightest part of the future, Like you know what I mean, it seems fucking stupid. But the stupidest things of the other things that future historians will talk about, and this is among the stupidest things. Well, I don't think there's it's any incidents that the people who would say, well, you know, you're not a child, why do you care? Are people mostly women, that have no interest in having children, so they're immediately less invested. It's the people who have children that are invested. So when you convince the like a majority or a significant number of women that they should not have children or start families, then they will become less interested in protecting women because our children, that is, because they don't have them. So it's not there is no they're not invested in society at all. They're only invested in themselves because there's nobody else, So they're not going to care, you see, and they're going to live as children themselves. So like that, what's the target audience for this movie? And I need. This is important. Okay, I know that the Barbie movie seems like it is for children, but it's rated PG thirteen, and from what I have not seen the movie full disclosure, Okay, I have no interest in it. Alison says we should watch it so we can talk about it. I dread that, but I suppose if it's necessary, we will. But I have seen the entire story written out and spoken about. I know what happens in the movie. I know what the point is, so I'm aware of it. And I am also aware that despite it being a movie that looks like children should be going, it is rated PG thirteen. There is an MF bomb in it, and there are several, let's say, statements about things like vaginas and penises. So there's some stuff that's I think it's kind of inappropriate because the audience, while it was rated PG thirteen, the majority of people who went were single mothers and their daughters. And I'm talking like, you know, eight year old girls sometimes, so I don't even think. I'm not sure that's completely true, because the way they've marketed this, they marketed it like anybody. Yeah, yeah, well that's that's the whole thing that the trailer literally started with this movie is for everyone that loves Barbie. Yes, And then the very next frame, this movie is also for everyone who hates Barbie. Yes, And then they they really rode the fucking Barbenheimer. Um it was, it was, but hey, you know what, honestly, props to them for pulling this off. I can't be too mad at the hustle. This is just right place, right time. They decided everything about this. Yeah, and just like I said that the marketing was genius, the fact that they pushed Ryan Gosling to the forefront to get in, like, hey, you guys that liked you know you liked the movie Drive right, you like Ryan Gosling from Drive? Yes, who's gonna be in the Marr and the Barbie movie. It's Ryan Gosling. And they basically took Margot rob put a second layer of duct tape on her mouth at shoved during a fucking closet m because they knew she was going to blab to everyone about how this was going to be a big feminist masterpiece and so it will complete bait and switch when people got in there. And you even have like mainstream rags saying stuff like you know, this would have been an okay movie if they just maybe toned down the gender ideology bit just a little bit. Yeah, except that was the point. So if they if they were if the if the goal would be to tone down the patriarchy theory and the feminism, they wouldn't have made the movie because that's why they made the movie. If using one silver yeah, go ahead, if there is one silver lining. I do enjoy how and maybe you were getting to this. I do enjoy how their message has kind of been corrupted a little bit. Yeah, Like everybody's like more than people talking about ken to the character of Kenya. And it's funny like every now and then a movie will try to do this and it will completely backfire. Um, They're been countless times this has occurred. The only one I can think of in recent memory is you have the movie Finding Nemo. Yeah, what is what is the movie Finding Nemo? The movie is about a clownfish whose dad attempts to find him after he gets lost and and learns he's being trapped in a dentist's aquarium and wants to free him. It's like, oh, that's such a great little message, you know, trying to free his son, rescue his son. That's great. Do you know what one of the side effects of that movie was, No, what the demand for clownfish spiked? Oh yeah, sure because children saw the movie and went, I want a clownfish. I want a clownfish. Well, what are you gonna do with that clownfish? There? A little Timmy, I'm gonna put him in an aquarium. It's like, well, isn't that kind of going will be known as shark bait SA, But isn't that kind of like against what the idea of the movie went? Nah, never mind, Jimmy, here's a clownfi. Yeah, I know, I know. It's funny. People lashed on to Kenn even though he was supposed to, according to the writer director, just sort of be this nothing, be this sort of placeholder, this supporting character. But they they they tried to make him a bad guy in it, but he came off as the only character that has a fucking arc in this movie. Well that's what they always end up doing. So like that, that happens in every woke movie because they're like, oh, let's take the straight white guy, make him, you know, like, we'll give him all these flaws and we'll make him stupid but also kind of you know, like nefarious or whatever. But because they're they're so focused on making him look like the bad guy, they give him more depth, so he ends up being more interesting. They did all They did that with Black Panther too, like the you know, the most heroic character in the movie was the seat, the white CIA guy that they were shitting on the entire time because he was white, but he ended up being like the biggest hero that took the most risks and saved everybody. So it's like, that's what That's what happens when you make your character. You know, that's the name Angel that can do no wrong. Right, So I guess what I'm trying to say, Brian is support Ken's rights. Right. Well, you know there were articles saying that this movie is like a dunk on men's rights and stuff. But I want to I want to make the case for why I think that it is foolish to claim that this movie is accidentally based or secretly based. Um. I think the reason that I think this is a bad idea is that Greta Gerwig is not at all sympathetic to men. She hates men. It's clear from the film. She has her like a character do this speech about how women can never do anything right and everything, like because men are all even though they're they're amazing, but they're also really a present. Men are always in the way and all that. I mean, she is filling this with Missengry. It's the most Missindress movie I've ever heard. I haven't seen it yet, but from what I've heard it is the worst. About that. But because it still had to be a film, she had, you know, like it couldn't just be a fucking slam poem like it usually is. She had to actually construct characters and so you know, people who let's say, would ignore or otherwise sort of like you know, break down, like what's actually happening. Like there's a point where again this is as somebody who hasn't seen it, Ken wants like Barbie's attention, because all of the Kens in barbie Land, they don't have a job, they don't have a home, and yet and yet it's a utopia for the women, like there's a female president and everything. Like this is basically greta girl. We're telling you what kind of world she wants. That's why it's so like gross I mean, sure, it's fictional whatever, but it's all basically like a reflection in the mirror. Like they even say at the end of the movie, like you know, well we've deposed the Kens and they're no longer in charge, and but but maybe one day, maybe one day we'll give them like basic right, yeah, all rights they enjoy, you know, kind of like women in the real world. Wink wink, maybe yea all rights women. Yeah, yeah, exactly. But I mean, like it obviously isn't logically consistent, Like obviously this woman is trying to make something fit that doesn't because her ideology makes no sense. But this doesn't matter because she is a cultist and a true believer. But that's not really the problem like that, you know, I saw, and I know people mentioned the load of seaters. I saw the LOADU seater thing, and they were trying to make the case that actually, if you like look at it this way, blah blah blah blah blah, it's actually secretly based. No, don't do that, because all you're doing is sucking your own cox saying we're smart. We figured out that this is actually the opposite of what they think it is. When the NORMI. Women and their daughters are going to the movie, and they're not taking that away from it. They're walking away going, yeah, men do suck. Patriarchy is bad. We know what. I'm going to divorce my husband. I mean, I know that's extreme, but I'm saying it just feeds into the resentment that feminist feed into women twenty four hours a day, seven days a week, and they go even though they don't know what's going to happen, because the marketing team lied to them and it manipulated them, and it told them this is for you, we promised. Look at that. Look at how funny this is. Do you remember the Very Brady movie? Remember that movie, The Very Brady Movie. That movie was making fun of the Brady Bunch. It didn't make fun of patriarchy. It didn't throw any political shit in there. It looked at the show, it found the stuff that people loved about it, and it put all of it together and just enhanced the silliness and put the Brady Bunch as they are as characters in the real world of the time. And that was the fun, right, nothing gendered about it. Right, But this is not that, But it makes you think it is so it's gonna be like a fish out of water thing, right, Barbie's gonna go to the real world, find out how complex it is, and you know, and that's gonna be the movie. But it's not. It is not at all that. Okay, So there and and sure, you could make the case. You could make the case that, you know, the world that Ken was trying to make with his patriarchy seemed better than the world that it was before, because even the Barbies that were there were happy. But then they have to tell you what, Actually, they're not happy. They're just brainwashed and the thinking that they're happy kind of like the real world, right, ladies. Right. And so my problem with this is if you if you think that this movie is secretly based or accidentally based, because you know you, I'd say there's a little bit of difference there. Secretly accidentally maybe, yeah, accidentally maybe. But what I'm saying is that that all that's like mister or three or three said, it's just cope. So the thing is is that this has to be rejected full stop. Like I mean, make the memes if you want to, but don't support the film. Don't don't do that because the problem is is that when you are a red pilled person, you start to think that everyone else should be what you are, what you know, thinking the way that you are, and you assume that they will. So if you're like, well, I have analyzed this film and I have figured out that it's actually this, and then you're gonna just put it out there and no one's gonna get it because the very let's say, uneducated, low information normy people that are gonna go see it, they're gonna take away exactly what Greta wants them to, so that it doesn't matter. You see what I'm saying, Like you, you can the only person that's gonna gratify is you, because like no one else is going to see it that way. You have to make the case strongly for other people. I don't think it's worth it. So it's gonna make money the first weekend because the marketing team lied. All we can do is hope that people will tell other people do don't see this movie like it's bad because it's not just bad because of the feminism. It's not just bad because of the political shit. It's not just bad because of those things. It's just a bad movie. Like it's not even well made, you know it. Every scene is a little bit too long, The jokes don't land. The stuff that could have been fun, that could have actually like played around with the brand that they were trying to displays. There's not enough of it, you know, and it's it's just not a good film. It made a lot of money because it lied to people. Hopefully people will figure that out because you know who knows, right. That's why when they say this is for people who love Barbie and people who hate Barbie, it's really for people who hate Barbie. And the thing that another thing about this too, is that when the Barbie doll was invented, it was a feminist doll at the time. Like they tell you that in the beginning that like dolls were up until that point supposedly just baby dolls for little girls, right, so that they can simulate being mothers. And in the beginning of the movie, the girls are trashing their baby dolls because they don't want to be mothers anymore. It's like it's like, you know, anti nadal is from the beginning, and the Barbie doll shows up as the alternative because now there's a woman, there's a doll of a woman who can do anything, anything except be a mother, and except they made a pregnant one, but like I guess, nobody buys it anymore or something, or they took it out of circulation, so it was just career woman. Barbie does it all right, She's got everything. I used to work at a toy store and we had a Barbie section and it was like, you know, pink the whole thing. Mattel basically had a section of the store to themselves and that's where they put everything, and there were collectors that would come there to buy them. And most of the people who bought Barbie dolls, by the way, were adults, I mean adult women, right, So it was a feminist brand from the beginning. But the thing is when it was made and it was a woman, by the way, who ran the company. Which is another thing that doesn't make sense because in the movie they have like the CEO and the board of directors of Mattel and they're all men because patriarchy. But the reality is like half of the fucking you know, the half of the board members are women, like five out of the you know, eleven or whatever, and the the actual like CEO of of Mattel was a woman until recently because she died, So I mean, it's it's based in lines. I mean, I don't see why Mattel isn't upset. I mean some people say, well, you know, any press is good press. But they're kind of shitting on the whole company in this movie. I don't know if they knew that, but they are. They're making him out to be, you know, stupid run by idiots, because there are no decent men in this film at all. I mean, it's it's just it's a NonStop feminist fever dream from start to finish, and there's a little bit of branding in it and that's it. And so honestly, if you want the Barbie brand, then go buy one. But I mean at this point, I don't know why anyone would want to give Mattel any money at all. So I just think that the the the accidentally or secretly based thing. I wouldn't I wouldn't even bother with it. I mean, it is absolutely hateful tripe to me. And this is an example, by the way, of the reverse of this um nullification. Because they the media tells you what you're supposed to like, they reinforce it over and over, and then when you go watch their movies, they reinforce it again, and so you start thinking, well, this is this must be what everybody likes, This must be acceptable behavior, This must be the way we're supposed to view men and women. This is how we're supposed to view these things, right, And that's what they're doing. So the fact that it's using a girl's you know, a child's toy promote the brand is actually making it more insidious because they're not interested in the brand. Like Greta Gerwig hates this doll. She hates it. I mean, I don't know why Mattel gave her the job, but they probably didn't know. They probably didn't know because the marketing team didn't know. And I think that it's important for people to recognize that is happening, like they don't care. This is like, you know, why is Disney selling a third of their company because they hired a bunch of people that want to eventually eat the whole thing from the inside out, tear it all down, and then take it over. And that's what's happening. You know, Marvel's dead, Star Wars is dead. All their brands are dead, Doctor who is dead? I mean, this Barbie thing didn't even get off the ground. We'll see how it does. I'm sorry for hijacking this too much, but we'll see how it does. I hope that the second weekend it will be like there'll be a massive falloff because people were essentially lied to about what the movie was about, and especially if you brought like a little girl to it, because it looks like something you should have been able to do that with. It looks innocent. It's not. I mean, it's just not. It's like, you know, it's feminist doing what they're always doing. They're being disgusting and the hateful and you know they use their crude and all of that. So I guess we'll see. But those are just those are just my thoughts on that. I'm not super hopeful. Unfortunately, I think this one's gonna have legs because of just word of mouth alone. Yeah, I mean the marketing was really good. Everything has everything except for maybe five movies this year just absolutely all suck. I mean, they are they are kind of exaggerating their their profit numbers a bit who because they're trying to like make it sound like a bigger hit, and that's that's part of the I mean, I don't know how they can do that. Well no, I mean they're making it sound like a lot like you know, oh it did a historic talk well they did, saying it did a historic one hundred and fifty five million dollars. The only thing I think they're maybe you know, doing a little little bit deceitfully is they're saying the biggest opening ever and then in very tiny words of a female director. Again is not technically a lie, but no, no, but I mean that's the marketing. I'm saying, it's the marketing doing its thing. Mike, what we're gonna say, well, this is Lauren, Hey, hey Lauren. Um So, I just wanted to chime in and say, imagine being a father bringing your daughter to this movie and having to explain the world to her afterwards. Yeah, you know, she's she's not ever going to listen to you if she if she's impressionable enough. And let's face it, what young women are not are women? What young female children are not? You know, Oh my god, why why would you do that to yourself? And it's just so wrong and upside down, and you know, we haven't seen the movie yet, so I will put that car in there. Reserve judgment, right, exactly, But this just all seems like, you know, the same old feminist dribble just repackaged and shoved down the throats of our young children, and we have to deal with the repercussions of it. Well, that's you. You, that's a that that's exactly the most important point, right, is that if you if you bring your child to this and you don't know what's in this, now now they have that in their head. Now they're gonna look at everything in a different way unless it just goes over their head. They're too little. But even then, it's like this, you should be really upset by this deceitful you know, marketing that like got you thinking that this is gonna be I mean, this is like what they have to do, Like this is what they have to do. And how is this not its own kind of grooming? I don't know, I mean exactly, you know, so I think that like ultimately, well, my my primary point is that, uh, I don't think this is an uh something that you could claim is actually based. I mean you can certainly, I you know, I support the kingdom, and um I I believe in Ken's rights and all that, but yeah, the Kennethno State. Yeah, um, I'm all about that. I think it's funny, but I don't think we should support the film at all. Like I think it is is really really hateful. Um, and it just looks it's disguised as something pleasant, you know, kind of like how our entire feminine culture is. There's a lot of hostility and it's disguises niceness. So what was that? Remember that villain on Harry Potter. I can't remember the name of the character. No, no, no, no, the one that was more evil than Baltimore, the woman in pink the I don't never. I know, I know somebody the chat knows what I'm talking about. I know they're gonna name it. But yeah, she, that's that's exactly what this is, Harry. There's a Harry Potter villain with with that that was like a very feminine she wore like pink um. And yeah, Dolores Sumbridge, yes, Dolores Humbridge, Yes, yes, that one that that is the evil woman. Um. Okay, but anyway, let let me see if there's something more I wanted to add to this, um Hollywood movie critics are widely praising Barbie as the most unwavering feminist summer blockbuster ever to exist, so it is a success, But again I think that's because of the deceit. I don't think a feminist film would normally have been a success, although I would argue that most films that feature female stars are indeed feminist films in most cases. So anyway, giving the new film particular adoration for its messaging around the patriarchy, I understand that there's a drinking game that if you take a drink every time patriarchy has mentioned, you will die, and that Ken actually gets a book called Patriarchy, which he goes he gets from men in the real world because you know, we're all walking around with that, and then he takes it back to Barbie Land and uses it to dominate Barbie Land, and the women like it there because they're brainwashed. Do you see how nonsensical this is? This is what feminists believe. I think this is what they believe. Barbie is both a master's thesis on feminism and Awesome Powers esque romp, which it's not Awesome Powers is funny. I think we can relabel this the fifty ches of Pink fifty Shades of Pink. The film is the writers can't tell a story based on a lie about men and women. That's why it doesn't work. That's why you can make the case that it's or some people have tried to make the case, but no, don't support it. Let them have this trash heap. We'll see how the numbers are next week. It will be revealing to see, um, how many let's say Norman's agree with the message. That would be the thing I would take from it, right, so we'll see. Thank you for the for the super Child. I'm going to read those out really quick. We got a lot this time too, Thanks guys, it's great. Um Ergo proxy gives us fifty dollars. Thank you, Ergo proxy. I gotta find something to play, um and says. According to Barnes from Viva and Barnes, people could reasonably sue the Barbie movie for false advertising. It's sold as a bring your children movie and it is for feminist middle aged women and ends with Barbie going to the guidacologists. Yes, because she becomes a real girl and therefore she has a vagina because before she doesn't have a vagina and Ken doesn't have a penis either, which, by the way, might might be kind of like a queer theory thing that's being thrown in there. I don't know for sure, did you know, did you know? Hold on, hold up, hold up, you might be onto something there. There's you know, who plays doctor Barbie in the the trans the trans Barbie. Yes, yeah, there's a Transparbie. Yeah. Tell me there aren't saying side I know. I mean, like, look like there are no accidents, Like, there are no accidents. This is not this is not something where oh we just happened to cast the best person with the job. No, like all of it is carefully thought out, about as careful as feminists can think anyway. So yeah, there are no accidents that you can't be dismissive of that. And then and there and you know, like all of the there's like a lot of like stuff for the Ken's um, like they get into I guess, you know, competition with each other and it turns homo erotic right away, Like I mean, because that's what gret Greti the Gerwig thinks of men, that we're just gay for each other all the time, and we're just too scared to just share it. You know. It's like those I remember all those articles that The Guardian and Slate used to print or released where it'd be like, guys, you should just blow your friend once in a while. What's wrong with what's wrong with the blow job between friends? What's wrong with a little bit of butt sex? I mean you're waiting for your food to cool off after you just took it out of the oven anyway, I mean, mate, mate, mate, I mean really so yeah, not surprised. Another fun thing if you didn't hear it from I think this is from Hello magazine. This was Greta Gerwig talking about the scene where they're first in the real world Ken and Barbie and they're skating down Venice Beach. Yeah, and the two different reactions were hilarious because they did this live thinking they were going to be able to use this for their movie and they weren't able to. All the dudes immediately went up to Ryan Gossler's like, yoah, fuck yeah, I can fuck yeah, Ryan Gosseling, high five, what's up? You look great, dude. Nobody approached Margot Robbie. Nobody said a thing tomorrow, go Robbie. Nobody looked at Margo Robbie, and they had to shoot that with extras like leering and staring at her because no one was actually doing it. Yeah, because they don't want to lose their fucking job, because they don't want to get their ass kicked by some other dude that's watching. Or maybe they're all gay. It's possible. It is, it is, it is California, but I think no. I heard that too. I heard that too. I mean it makes sense, it's not like it's in men's nature to do it. But then you know, you make like the climates so fucking hostile. What do you expect? You know, men don't want to talk to women. Um, all right, anyway, thank you for that. Meredith Gee with a big donation and a big comment gives a ten bucks, it says HPR News number four fifteen. I've listened to both sides of a debate regarding Barbie Evs script Doctor lorraina creole Midnight's Edge. I haven't watched all those. I haven't watched any of those. Actually, movie spoiler alert. I can't get behind the idea that Barbie is based simply because Barbie apologizes to Ken, or that the Barbies creator has that line that the patriarch is made up excuse for failure before Barbie chooses to be a real woman. If it's base, it's an accident, because the utopian world for women is one that could only come from the imagination of an eight year old girl playing with her dolls. Inadvertently showing us feminist is juvenile doesn't make it base. The abortion the metaphor the anti mother message, and the woman doesn't need a man because she rejects ken tells a different story. Absolutely, all of those things are true. All of those things anti motherhood, anti family, anti male. You know, the life was perfect when men were basically homeless slaves. So go ahead. I don't often start sentences like this because it's almost almost almost always an indulgence in identity politics. But here goes as a dot dot dot mh as a meet. Oh wait, I'm I'm reading out the thing for the third story. Oh what? Oh uh not yet? Oh I see wait are you doing the Jason Aldene thing. We're not on it yet. Yeah, I am doing okay, all right, hold on, that's a good chance. That's a good chance. Well it is on the second story. Let the second let's do the second the third story. Sorry, let's do it. Well, well wait, I got, I got super childs though, I gotta finish. I got to and I got and I got rumble, it's true. I'm sorry, I'm all right, all right, let me let me just get to the last I gotta read these. So another superchowl from Plane Dane for five bucks. Thank you, Plane Dane. Uh here here you go. Um And he says Barbie made a lot because of nostalgia and it's long popular history. Who hasn't heard of Barbie. It's a global franchise, is probably the most popular toy ever. Yeah, of course it is. That. Well, that's why they do it, you guys. Are you guys getting it yet? Look, these people always operate top down. It's either authority or it's popularity, and they use it that that's it's to them as a tool. That's it. Barbie is a tool to push feminism. I mean, Barbie was feminist when it was created, but by today's standards, it's not feminist at all. It's actually fascist. They literally say that in the movie that Barbie's fascist. So there you go. Or why not that word is lost? I mean, why not? Yeah? Why not? I'm saying like it. That's that's the truth. They the goalposts are constant moving because the revolution has to be endless. You have to constantly find something new to rebel against and revolutionize against and problematize. That is part of the dialectic. It's it's endless because that's on purpose. Right. There's no satisfying these people because that's not the point. You have to keep fighting them. Um, all right, anyway, that's all the super chows. Now, go ahead, Mike, do you want to say something somebody thinking of Jason Aldean. Oh, we're doing that now. Wait, I got okay, I'll guys in the rumble chat. I will read your stuff next. But we might as well get into the Jason Aldeen thing. So um, because I don't Mike wants to say something to that. So Jason Aldeen under fire for a song following its release as the newest single from Jason Alden and May Try That in a Small Town face a wave of criticism upon the unveiling of its music video on July fourteenth. While the song's theme revolves around a familiar country music motif of all towns and firearms, which are prefairly you know, pickup trucks and the barbecues and whatever else country people will sing about, right normal, Some individuals argue that it carries threatening undertones with racial implications. The controversy escalated further when viewers recognize that the video had been filmed in front of the Marie Country County Courthouse, situated in Columbia, Tennessee. And I got Jason Aldean did make a tweet and I know this isn't exactly new, but I thought I would read it for you guys. I have it here on the screen. Sorry, Jojoe's blocking part of it. Jason Alden says, in the past twenty four hours, I have been accused of releasing a pro lynching song, a song that has been out since May and was subject to the comparison that I direct quote was not too pleased with the nationwide BLM protests. These references are not only meritless, but dangerous. There is not a single lyric in the song that references race or points to it, and there isn't a single video clip that isn't real news footage. And while I can try and respect others to have their own interpretation of a song with music, this one goes too far. As so many pointed out, I was present at Root ninety one, where so many lost their lives, and our community recently suffered another heartbreaking tragedy. No one, including me, wants to continue to see senseless headlines or families ripped apart. Try that in a small town. For me refers to the feeling of community that I had growing up, where we took care of our neighbors regardless of differences of background or belief because they were our neighbors and that was above any differences. My political views have never been something I've hidden from, and I know that a lot of us in this country, in this country, don't agree on how we get back to a sense of normalcy where we go at least a day without a headline that keeps us up at night, but the desire for it too. That's what this song is about. And I just want to point out also, just like the Barbie thing, I wasn't going to cover this. I was like on the fence about it because it's not exactly it's not exactly a men's right thing. I think the first one is because a man committed suicide, and we know that suicide is a big problem that men face. But there is something else that's sort of like outside of that that links all three of these stories together, which I'm going to get into. That's why I ended up choosing it. But Mike, I know that you're chomping at the champion, camping at the base. I found a connection. Camping or chomping is either way. I'm a horse. I'm a horse here going the fuck is all this bullshit? And I'm like, yeah. I don't often stop sentences like I don't baptist hop because it's almost always an indulgence in identity politics, but here goes. As a as a musician, I am endlessly frustrated by the absence of suitable role models in the music industry who exists anywhere to the right of starling on the political spectrum while the Western world is getting ravaged by globalist, anti nationalist, communist propaganda in one here and out the other. I'm sitting here with Satan's cock in my mouth, wandering, waiting when some other popular musician or other is going to come out and say something in opposition to the establishment agenda. And who do I get A country singer? I get Morrisy, I get Morrissey and an absolute wanker. I get Johnny Rotten an absolute wanker. I get Liam Gallagher an absolute wanker. I get, but he corgan and okay, fine, A lot of you like him. In my opinion, he's remarkably up himself. Or a singer who makes a noise like a crying baby. I wish it would employ an actual singer rather than just replacing everyone else in his band except the singer who sounds like a crying baby. But what, I guess it's this weird rule of life. It's a kind of syllism. The people who piss you off are the people who don't give a fuck, And the people who don't give a fuck are the people most likely to speak out against the prevailing narrative. And so we come to the phenomenon that is country music. I don't like country music and I don't know anyone who does it. It's a genre that hasn't evolved. We talk in modern pop country or are we talking like Johnny Cash? Johnny Cash is technically technically gospel. But yeah, Chris Christofferson, Willie Nelson, Yeah, you have to you have to go deep into either old school ship or or fucking start ship, but pretty much whatsoever, it's it's it's a it's a genre for the most part that hasn't evolved for a hundred years other than the inclusion of the occasional electric instrument here and there, and yet it appears to be the only genre to be breaking the ice with regards to this quote unquote work bullshit, and they're doing it. In terms of lyrical content. Country musicians, much like blues musicians, have this way of actually saying what they mean. Well, I woke up this morning and New York City was getting raised at the ground by mobs of drag queens and so on. That woke up. There's more in New York studio. We're reason. That's sort of it. That seems to be the difference. Rock musicians don't do this. They don't simply say what they really mean. They have this way of burying their messages underneath this foggy layer of poetic allegory. And they're easily able to do it because they're all on drugs, the shetloads of drugs. They can write about shit and pretend they're not writing about that shit. It's easy when you're on drugs. Anything can count as anything because we know the joke and they don't know the joke a lot. So they can indeed make fun of communists in their lyrics as long as they make it ambiguous. But they can make fun of patriots of any given country, but especially their own, quite explicitly. Ambiguity be damned, and they will never get in trouble with the record companies, who have long since been taken over by the aphon mentioned communists. It all makes sense. Most musicians misguided degenerates. They think they're going to make it big when they obviously never will, and so they demand communism be exacted everywhere to make sure that they get just as much radio play as anyone else. And so, yeah, the mall of the story is you know your favorite musicians? Yeah, that probably comes Yep. I like music. I just want to say I'm a I'm a big fan of a lot of bands, but I like the Red Hot Chili Peppers and uh, you know, I want to punch in the in the mouth. Yeah, exactly. Most musicians, most are most musicians just like most movie stars. Yep, they're absolutely leftist pieces of garbage. Yes, they're able to if they're able to make it into that position that probably comes. Except for Rush, those guys are based they yeah, And the musicians you don't like, they're probably the ones who are not cuns to do this. If you will, and try not to consider this when you're listening to your favorite bands, they are probably cunts who hate you for being even slightly conservative. The rule of thumb is never mean your heroes. But when it comes to bands, don't even listen to them talk. They will inevitably disappoint you. Just listen to whatever music or whatever lyrics will leave you suspended in this layer of I don't know. Art in general should leave you in the realm of I don't know. Otherwise it's not even art, it's propaganda. Art does not give answers. It can only ask questions. Yes, message ends, Yes, that's good. You will. Here's a Here's here's the weirdest. Here's a weird question. Um, country music is that unique to America? Like? Is there a equivalent of because country music came out of the country in the West here in the United States. But like, does does the brit Britain have country music? Or is it like I think it's called folk? Is it like minstrel minstrel music. Like, no, it's it's just it's just called folk. We have folk music too. Yeah. But but but in in the US it developed from folk to country and then to rocket roll and and and then rocket rock and roll and blues developed into this thing we called what we called rock and then eventually metal, I guess. Yeah. But the folk has has has been much the same for every culture that developed from I, I guess the Anglos and the Celts. This the this idea of folk music being just people who have would an instruments going being wet with the mandolin. Yeah, it's something you remember until until the fucking mox this took it over and when no, no, no, this has to be anti racist and all its facets. Yeah yeah. Do you guys remember the music and the original Diablo that would play whenever you were in town. It was guitar. Yeah, I guess that's that's That's what I think English country music sounds like. Um so okay, So Jason Aldean, Um, I I didn't. I didn't know a whole lot about the story, but the but like as time went on, I saw a lot of these wild allegations against him for making this song and and look, I grew up in Chicago. I've heard rap music that is literally a confession of murder, like it's in the lyrics. Was there was this big song by YG in like twenty fourteen, Yeah, where it systematically goes about how to rab Asian people. Yeah, it's like, first you need like three dudes they You need to get a getaway driver, make sure you ring the doorbell wants that gets them to open the door. Don't mess with items like phones or laptops because those are traced. Go after jewelry in cash. Yeah, yeah, that's that's a perfectly yeah, you know, we're cool with that. I remember that was a song where a guy talked about who he killed, where he did it, what the weapon he used was, and it was in the rap and the and the police used it to track the guy down like they'd used it to a rap. I don't remember the name of the guy, but maybe someone in the chat does. And it's not the only time there's there's lots of rap music where it's basically just being just the instructions of making metamphetamine or crasty game. Yeah. Yeah, And I bring this up not because I want to do like a tit for tat, but to make a point that that most of us know that this happens, right, I mean that these songs don't even rhyme like, but most of us know that this happens. But we just kind of go, well, you know, like we just kind of shrug and hope, we hope that that's not actually like a real crime and it's just music. So because you know, most of us believe in freedom of expression. But when this guy makes this song and there's just like he said, and I think we all know this, there was no he wasn't pointing the finger at any particular group he was talking about, you know, um, not feature black people or the ghetto or the hood or anything like that. The music video doesn't even show a single black person. No, it's all protesters and riots and actually you know, antifa and yeah, stuff like that. So none of that's there. But there, you know, the wokees are trying to imply that that is racist. Now, a lot of people have said, well, if you think that, you know, um, if you believe that anything that is anti crime must be anti black, then maybe you're the racist herd. But we know that these people don't care about this, and this is why I have to like make I have to drive this home. It's not actually about that at all. It's about scaring people who are not racist into thinking that they are racist, just like feminist allegations of misogyny are are not based in actual evidence of misogyny, of which there is very little, if any at all. But in fact, it's just to get people who respond emotionally to accusations of misogyny to respond and apologize and you know, fall to their knees and all of that. That's what it's about. It is psychological torture. And I want to talk a little bit about political nullification because you have Jason Aldean, who handles this well. I think that he was still a little bit mealy mouth in his you know, explanation. I wouldn't have provided one. I would have said, you know, uh, fuck you, this is my life. I'll do what I want. But I get it. He's trying to you know, he looks like a Christian man. I see he's wearing across. So maybe that's why he was approaching this with a little bit more um, let's say, kindness. He's probably never really experienced it firsthand. And he was like, well, I should probably you know, put out some kind of statement. But he didn't back down. He did not back down, So don't do that, right, And the guy, the Toronto guy, he did and what did it get him? More trouble? Because once they once they smell blood in the water, you're done. Like they don't, they don't, they don't provide. There's no such thing as a redemption arc. There's no such thing. So this is political no, Now, how do they how do they do it? So that's why I want to get into what political nullification is. So they create nullified categories of people. We'll take one that we know very well. Men. So why is it when there are all of these like PTA meetings and city council meetings about schools and about education and all that, and the majority of people, not all, but the majority of people that go there are mothers. The bamba bears come out and they're the ones that are doing this well because even if there are fathers in the picture, they're men, and so they if they show up, it actually does the whole thing a disservice. Right, And we've all, we've all sort of been born into this because this has been going on. This nullification thing has been going on since before we came into this world. So now we're coming into a place that's already nullified men as a group when it comes to speaking on basically anything, but especially speaking on women's issues or women in general, because they've been made into a class. And how does that actually work in the world. Well, basically, they say so and so as a man did this, it doesn't matter after that. Once the normans here, man there, they already put them into a subconscious category beneath woman and they and I know that we're kind of inclined for that anyway, but there is like extra pressure coming from this nullification process. Other examples of this are white um and uh cis, which is a word you should never use because it's part of their lexicon. It's part of their language. You shouldn't use cis to address, you know, normal people that are not transu and heteronormative and whatnot. Right, So um. One of the reasons why this is so effective on men, which I think is probably where it started possibly, is because the ideology itself is feminine. It is female. So when men speak up, it is coded as patriarchy. And this is not something that only happens with feminists. This is something that another thing that people have to understand. The normal blue pilled person that is not political, that is just trying to go through their day. They believe in patriarchy to some they may not call it that, but they believe it. They believe that men have ruled over women throughout most of history by default. It's not their fault, it's the way they were raised, it's the way they were educated, it's the way that our whole world is set up. Right. It's literally, the thing that feminists claim men are doing is happening to everybody else. And so because of that, the ideology itself is coded female. Therefore, when men speak up, it's coded as patriarchy. Men as a class are nullified. These are things like the reason why they can say, oh, masculinity is toxic because and they use that language to poison society against men or at least treat them as less deserving of sympathy. Right, And so they what they do is they connect other things to this. So when like, for example, uh, they will code things, um, you know, male or heteronormative or maga, conservative, right wing, anti vax boomer, libertarian, QAnon, Christian m thoughts, terminating cliches. Yeah, but they're but they're categories, and they throw pass one of these out here, and it's just like, oh, well, conversations over, yeah, and just out of this person as an insert here is the member of this group. Yeah, And you have to what you have to do is you have to significantly demonize that particular category. So when when the Elliot Roger shooting happened, we heard nothing but about in cells as dangerous murderers right for in all of the media for like a year or more, and I think we still hear about it every so often now. Why not because Elliot Roger was like, you know, the king of the in cells is because it's useful. Now they can just call anybody an in cell and it had It's an immediate emotional reaction in people if they're paying attention to the mainstream news and that name, that word has like passed their past their lips. The same thing as for maga. If you say maga around Norman's, you're gonna get people freaking out, even though it's a very straightforward statement, but they've associated so much poison with it that now it just it just means this bad thing. And so I think that this has been going on for a very long time. This is why I was talking to Lindsay about this. Um. You know, first of all, I don't blame bluepill people for believing bluepill things, because that's what most people believe. So when you know, like a bluepill conservative person has something to say about men or feminism and they do the whole like you know, well the second wave, oh well the vote, well, but you know, the fusile sulfa jets, etcetera. I mean I get it, like I get it because this is what you know, like you're you know, this is why like everyone is moving in that direction, because the society is being engineered in that direction. This is why it's so hard for us to get people to look at the men's rights arguments because we are so far outside of that nullified category that people are going to be repulsed if you say, well, look I care about and you have to, like, you have to be very careful because you might like drive people away because they have they've been brainwashed. I mean I don't like to say that because it sounds but they've been conditioned through education, through entertainment, through the media, through the news, through the Internet, through everything to basically believe certain things. So when you hear the word Trump, you're supposed to have a reaction because they've associated his name with a bunch of negative shit. But that's only because they've already associated things like being a Christian, being a conservative, or being right wing with negative shit. That's why the left believes, and normals believe, Normans believe that being right wing means being evil that because that's what they've done. There's no I don't want to hear the argument I don't care about small government, I don't care about being fiscally conservative, whatever it is, that's all out the window, because right wing means evil. Thanks John Stewart, because that's what he did for his whole career. Right they made it fashionable to hate people that are on the right, that are Christian, that are male, that are straight, etc. And they just keep adding to that category. And now they're getting to the point where they can just add people to it, regardless of those people's beliefs. So, for example, Trump, I already mentioned Andrew Tate. I don't care how you feel about him. The point is he's being used in this way. It's all about like, oh, he is a red pillar, he is Mannisphere, he is men's rights activists in cell whatever. The point is that all of those categories fit under the you know, the nullified category, and they only do that once people on the right or people that are not on the left or whatever start to embrace them. So, as an example, Young Knee Park I showed a clip of her week. She is the refugee, I guess you could say, or she fled North Korea, went through a whole an actual hellish life and made it into the United States and the media, the mainstream media did not cover her. They didn't interview her, they had nothing to do with her, and instead they just waited. They waited until conservative media turning point USA. You know, whoever it was, it doesn't matter whoever it was, they said, well, we'll have you on right, we'll talk to you. I think Joe Rogan had her on right. And once they did, then they were like, oh, look, jo on me Park. She supposedly fleed North Korea, but she's a conservative. And I know this because she was on Jordan Peterson's stream and he interviewed her. She was on Joe Rogan, she was on this or that, but it's because nobody else would give her a platform. So once the what they call the right or the bad guys give someone a platform, then that person becomes associated with that group, and that's how they nullify them because what that what their goal is is to get normal people not to hear them out, not to seek out whatever it is they have to say. So it's like a lose lose situation, right, So you either don't appear anywhere because you're waiting for the mainstream media to come and get you, which they will never do, or you go on right wing media because they're the only ones willing to hear you out, and then they get to call you right wing. I give you an example that's closer to home. Karen. People have been asking me, what's Karen been doing. She doesn't come on the show that often anymore, Right Karen. Nowadays she comes on maybe a couple of times a month at the end of the month to help us with the fundraiser. What does she do aside from that, Well, obviously she takes care of her family, but as far as like work or whatever you know, in her sort of field, she goes on interviews, she goes on podcast, she goes on AM radio. Well, who does she talk to? Well, the only people that will talk to her, who are those people? Conservatives? So they're the ones willing to hear her out and so that's the only one. So why so what happens next, Well, if if if the liberal media or the mainstream media gets wind of the fact that Karen's been there, they're just gonna associate her with them, and then she gets put into the nullified category. Do you see how that works? That's what they're doing. This is why I get a little bit out of shape when people shit on conservatives, because I think, well, there, first of all, they're just bluepill people at worst, you know, and secondly, they're the only ones that'll talk to us. So I don't know what you want me to do, like, do we want our message to get out there or not? Because if if we don't do anything, like we don't, well we don't talk to you because we don't want to be associated with you. Well, now you're playing their game. That's what they're doing. They've been doing this since before we were born. This is the norm. This is what I'm trying to explain, right, So anyway, let me finish what I wanted to say about that. So that's what they do. And you've noticed that every time something comes up they do this. They throw them in a category. What happened with Sound and Freedom came up? Oh it's a quod on conspiracy theory. Jim Cavizio's crazy. Did you hear he's Christian? They've already thrown Christians into that category, or they've thrown Q and on into that. Kid. They don't even know what it is. I don't know what it is. I mean, I think it's a lot of things. I don't give a shit. It's just like Trump said, I don't know what they're about, but I know they don't like pedophiles. It's good enough for me, you know. Um, then what is it uh with? Oh? Yeah, for for um Karen's They have this thing called Clanned karen Hood. So it's a play on planned parenthood. And what is it? Well, it's basically just a way to attack white women. This is why I don't. I don't attack white women as a group. I never do because I think that it's just playing their game. It's their rules, right, don't play by their rules, even if it feels good, even if you think it's it's precise, I don't do it. Um. And they do this with in cells. I already mentioned that everyone is under this spell. It's a spell. Essentially, they're using words to control behavior. UM. I already mentioned that John Stewart did this. Uh. And this goes back to Mao. So like Umao had when he was like taking over after his cultural revolution in China, he created five identity categories that he called black categories. They were basically like, you know, you're not supposed to have any association with these categories. One of them was what he called rightists, which are right wingers. And this is why I make that distinction about right wing people being like more in line with the reduction of the influence and size of government. This is why the left hates it. This is why I got banned off of Twitter and I have yet to get back on Twitter or x or whatever we're calling it now because I pissed off the commies and speaking will nullify you because they will associate with you with like black categories, but not speaking will give them what they want. And the hard thing is it's designed to make normies think that the person being nullified is not just to be ignored, but to be actively opposed. So if you speak up, then they will cast you in a black category, and then the normies will see you as an enemy or an opponent because they've been conditioned to do that, because the media and all of these intellectuals and shit are engineered against you. Right. I think Alex Jones is another example of somebody who is put into a black category. But how do you fight against it? So I think the only thing we can do is we have to tell the truth no matter what. We have to not apologize under any circumstances, unless, of course, we find that we're wrong about something. And even then it's better to call it issuing a correction than making an apology, because you don't owe anyone an apology for saying what you believe to be true. And we also have to make sure that people know that this is happening, and your opponents should know that they're doing this to you, and that you know that they're doing this to you. Right, So you say, you name the dynamic, and you let them know that you're trying to engage in forcing me to apologize for something that I know is not wrong, and I know that you're doing that to control my behavior, and you're not going to do that. And again it's important to note that struggle sessions are in fact a form of psychological torture, and that's what they're doing. And Jason Aldean deserves all the credit for not like because what he did was completely reasonable and nothing to apologize for at all, and that these people don't actually want him to not be racist. They just want him to go away and if he ends up, like if they drove him to suicide, they wouldn't care because that's kind of like it's either you do what they say or you die, and that's where it's at right now. That's the way they are. So sorry for going long. I just had to explain that because I think that's the main takeaway. You can see this in all three of the stories we've covered. We have one man that unfortunately wasn't able to fight back. We have the Barbie movie, which does the same thing in reverse, where you go to the movie and you think you're gonna get like a fun ride and you get this feminist shit and then you go and you're like, well, what did everybody else say, and all of the critics are gushing, and all your friends are wearing pink, and it's like there's all this media shit and all this marketing. You're like, well, I guess it wasn't bad. And that's that's the opposite, right. They're creating like positive categories. You should be associated with this, You should you know, divorce your husband, you should not have kids, whatever. And people who don't have kids are less invested in the future, so they're more likely to do as they're told. So because they're not they don't care about their kids. So anyway, those are my thoughts on that. Sorry for the long rant. I just wanted to get that off my chest. I don't know if anybody wants anything to it, Like, I know, I went along, but I can't with all of the things. All right, thank you, um, I appreciate that. So oh, let us know when you guys think about that in the comments. UM. I got some super childs to read out and I will talk about the last story briefly, which I thought. It's good news. It's a it's a it's good, it's a it's a wholesome um Plane Dane gives us five Bucks and says Barbie made a lot because of this all you read that one. Anonymous gives us five dollars and says, Mike, don't forget Roger Waters. He is the only musician that I'm aware of that calls out the crimes and human rights violations of apartheid zionist Israel, and he's actually against the military industrial complex. Country music is unique to the US. I mean, yeah, I thought so, but but I like the idea of you know, minstrel Bard music. You got bring back Bard music, it get get bring that back. I want that to come back. They probably have at someplace. The music industry won't promote it though. Anyway, Thanks for want to hear music from you. If you also know how to use a short sort yeah, or a rapier. So that's in for the rumble or the super childs thank you. Now I'm gonna read the rumble rants because those also take priority. NOBA Fan twenty one gives us a dollar. Thank you, Noba Fan and says, I've sailed the seven seeds to see the Barbie movie. It tries to play both sides of feminist talking points and pay triarchy theory by having Barbie land be perfect will also reflecting our real world. Um, well, I've to put it simply. I think that they're just trying to make a round peg fit into a square hole and they're not really thinking through. They're hoping that, you know, they think that their audience. They think that the audience is stupid and won't and won't get it, and they'll just drink whatever they put in front of them. Um, and then oike, nooee, I'm sorry, I don't know how to pronounce that gives us one dollar and says choo chow bro job bro job ha ha okay, based I guess, um, and oh, I don't have the last story on screen, but i'll just read it out. It's okay. And then I got two super chats. So Cyberserk gives us fifty dollars and I think they're coronas and says I introduced my children to the horror film genre with Wallace and Grommet and the Curse of the were Rabbit. That's a good movie. I like. Um that studio what do they call Ardman? Albatross gives us ten and says I remember before the release, Semo and Margo said, isquas hyper fem but Mattel and Warner Brothers tried to retract their statements as if they were scared people would find out the surprise. Yeah, well, I mean probably, Like I said, we'll see. Hopefully it tanks after this weekend. Hopefully it's just a case of people got fooled and now they're pissed and they're gonna tell her friends not to go see it because they got tricked into giving money to Kamis. But we'll see. Thank you guys for that. And now we're gonna get to the last story. Unfortunately, don't have the article in front of me, but it's okay, I'll just read it here. So this is a woman has been united reunited with her father after being kidnapped by her mother when she was four years old. US based Fuka discovered her mother lied to her through a chain of events. In twenty twenty two, Fuka learned she was still a Japanese citizen and flew to Japan to see her maternal grandmother. There, she found a picture of her biological father, but had no idea where he was. On a whim, she decided to share the picture on TikTok to try and locate him, which went viral, and she eventually did find her father through the help of TikTok users. Her mother had told her they had moved to America because her father had abandoned them. Fuka explains, quote, before he told me anything, he did say, there are two sides at every story. Your mum might have a different perspective, but this is how I feel. My grandparents are Buddhist priests, and we have a Buddhist temple in Japan where the temple gets passed down every generation, and it's been in our family for hundreds of years. So my mom was going to take over the temple next and so her husband, my father, went to go and get his temple certification, and when he came back, we were gone. Fuka's father had gone to America to try and get her back. Both of her parents came back to Japan as their visas expired, and they officially divorced. Fuca's mother convinced her father to give her full parental rights, and her father compromised on the one condition that they remain in Japan. Yet her mother moved back to the stage to live with her new partner and his family. Buca says, i was separated with my dad at four and grew up in an abusive household. I often felt unloved and worthless as a child, but I coped. I learned to cope with my childhood trauma as a kid. I thought my dad did not want us in his life and had abandoned us. But this whole time, he had been praying one day to reunite. I never knew how much I mean to him and his family until I met them. They had kept their memories of me alive, hoping I would come back. When I was leaving, my dad burst into tears and hugged me, telling me how grateful he is to have me in his life. I didn't know what I was missing until now. Wow, it's what's such an odd occurrence where you can say, what a nice thing that happened on TikTok. Yeah, I know, right, it's kind of weird. That is kind of weird. So I don't know. I thought it was wholesome. I don't know those my thoughts. It was nice. It's a nice, nice breath of fresh air to round things out with. Yeah. Yeah, um, so I don't know. Does anyone have any thoughts on that? All? Right? Well, I will show a picture of the this was on TikTok. I guess it is the only good thing that came out of TikTok. Maybe I don't know. It's better than the NPC trend. I'll say that much. So. Um So, yeah, there there is the daughter. She showed some photos. I guess there's a gallery we can look at. Um and she found that her mother cheated on her biological father and tried to basically take her while she did for like twenty years, took her to America. So and now she's renamed with her dad Father's matter. That's all I'm saying. This is a good way to like, you know, and the show, because I know I did a lot of ranting, and I apologize because we didn't go a little long, but I just wanted to get all that off my chest. So let me know what you guys think about this. Father looks young for his age, you know Asian people, man, I don't know, Man, they age really well, that's all I'm gonna say. They look like they're in their twenties until they hit the age of sixty, in which they grow as snow white food. Man chew something about they got the jeans man. Like. You know, they say black don't crack. I don't know what the equivalent for, you know, I don't write nice? Yeah. Um, anyway, let us know what you guys think about that one in the comments.
