- 1:56Speaker 1: welcome to Honey Badger Radio. Hope you guys are doing
- 1:58Speaker 1: well this week and that you're laughing and all of
- 2:00Speaker 1: this absurdity so that you are not consumed by it.
- 2:03Speaker 1: I am your host, Brian, and I'm joined by, as always,
- 2:07Speaker 1: my lovely co hosts, Hannah Wallen and doctor Ranmerckham. I

- 2:16Speaker 1: so please be sure to continue the conversations both in
- 2:19Speaker 1: the chat as well as the comment section this week.
- 2:21Speaker 1: So we're gonna be talking about the latest going on
- 2:25Speaker 1: with Tim cass irl. It appears that Tim Poole is
- 2:29Speaker 1: going to be doing his last show and this is
- 2:33Speaker 1: having an effect that I felt was worth addressing because
- 2:37Speaker 1: we kind of occupy the same space and Tim has
- 2:42Speaker 1: you know, we've like bumped into each other on occasion,
- 2:45Speaker 1: and I thought it was interesting and worth discussing, especially
- 2:49Speaker 1: because something well we'll get into it later, but there's
- 2:52Speaker 1: this seems to be like a thing that I'm seeing
- 2:54Speaker 1: more and more, which is weird.
- 2:57Speaker 2: Well, the moral of the stories instead, he wins the race. Well,
- 3:02Speaker 2: Honeybags and radio have had a skeleton stuff of like
- 3:06Speaker 2: five or six people and we've been going for ten years. Yes,
- 3:09Speaker 2: and Tim has millions of dollars at his disposal and
- 3:14Speaker 2: he can't quite keep it together. Goes to show you,
- 3:16Speaker 2: doesn't it.
- 3:18Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess keep us poor and don't donate or anything. No,
- 3:22Speaker 1: I'm kidding, don't do that. Please don't do that anyway.
- 3:26Speaker 1: But yeah, we're gonna be talking about the recent news
- 3:29Speaker 1: that looks like the end of Tim Cass. A gay
- 3:31Speaker 1: man has to prove that he's gay to the Home
- 3:34Speaker 1: Office so that he can get asylum. A mom urges
- 3:38Speaker 1: a ban on Halloween candies and more. So, stick around,
- 3:42Speaker 1: it's gonna be a good time and be sure to
- 3:44Speaker 1: join us afterwards for the Patron Only Show. So on
- 3:48Speaker 1: this week's the Patron Only Show. As you can see,
- 3:50Speaker 1: as we ramp up more and more towards the twenty
- 3:53Speaker 1: twenty four US presidential election, the question on the lips
- 3:58Speaker 1: of Democrats everywhere is what the hell have we done
- 4:02Speaker 1: to piss men off? So much, and of course the
- 4:06Speaker 1: answer is we blame them some more. So here's an
- 4:09Speaker 1: opinion piece by Politico entitled democrats problem with mail voters
- 4:14Speaker 1: isn't complicated. Now it sounds like this is gonna be charitable,
- 4:18Speaker 1: Like we're gonna explain rationally why you know, calling men
- 4:22Speaker 1: garbage for like four years or maybe like one hundred
- 4:26Speaker 1: if you're paying attention. Uh, it doesn't gain a lot
- 4:30Speaker 1: of favor with them, but you might the the actual
- 4:33Speaker 1: article might surprise you in its twist. So if you
- 4:37Speaker 1: want to join us for that, you have to become
- 4:38Speaker 1: a Badger yourself, like going to feed the Badger dot
- 4:40Speaker 1: com and setting up a monthly subscription five bucks a

- 4:58Speaker 1: And if you don't want to wake up one morning
- 4:59Speaker 1: in fine that we've been needed from the internet, please
- 5:01Speaker 1: go to Badger feed dot com or Honeybadger Radio dot
- 5:04Speaker 1: com to find where all of our archives content lives. So,
- 5:09Speaker 1: with all that said, kind of waiting to see if
- 5:12Speaker 1: the chat starts getting populated with stuff, it'll take a moment.
- 5:16Speaker 1: Let me see here. I want to make sure that
- 5:18Speaker 1: social stream is working, so maybe drop some some messages
- 5:22Speaker 1: and see if it pops up. All right, so let's
- 5:24Speaker 1: get started with let's talk about tempoole really quick. So
- 5:30Speaker 1: this is the story as I understand it thus far.
- 5:35Speaker 1: So Temple put out a vague sort of post where
- 5:42Speaker 1: he basically said that he is feeling burned out. I
- 5:46Speaker 1: had a tab open and I lost it. Give me
- 5:48Speaker 1: a second here, I'm sorry. Where is my tempoole tab? Okay,
- 5:51Speaker 1: here we go where he let's see here. According to
- 5:57Speaker 1: available information, yeah, timpoles podcast tim irl is still active, ongoing.
- 6:03Speaker 1: He's gonna do one show today where he basically alluded
- 6:05Speaker 1: to ending the podcast where and the reason for it
- 6:12Speaker 1: is that he essentially is saying that he's feeling burned
- 6:15Speaker 1: out and that he doesn't have any time to do anything.
- 6:19Speaker 1: But mostly what this comes down to is he is
- 6:21Speaker 1: saying that the people he works with have essentially have
- 6:25Speaker 1: not been, you know, doing their fair part to like
- 6:29Speaker 1: make this whole thing work. Now, I watched a couple
- 6:33Speaker 1: of people talk about this a little bit again he's
- 6:36Speaker 1: gonna be doing a show today and he will be
- 6:41Speaker 1: addressing the concerns. But he did posts on Twitter saying
- 6:45Speaker 1: that this is gonna be my last show. And I
- 6:48Speaker 1: even have a video here where he talks a little
- 6:51Speaker 1: bit about it. This was a compilation put together by
- 6:54Speaker 1: someone trying to lampoon him. But I'll play this. It's
- 6:57Speaker 1: meant to be funny, but I'm not gonna play it
- 6:59Speaker 1: for that purpose. Okay, So here we go and we
- 7:03Speaker 1: are we are well off.
- 7:04Speaker 3: It is not a financial thing. We make a lot
- 7:05Speaker 3: of money, but piece by piece the structure becomes bigger
- 7:11Speaker 3: and bigger and bigger until it becomes impossible to manage.
- 7:14Speaker 3: You know, I'm not I'd never call out anybody personally
- 7:17Speaker 3: or individually. I would just say that like compounding, I
- 7:24Speaker 3: don't know, laziness, Yeah, yeah, that that builds up over time,
- 7:30Speaker 3: which adds more and more workload to you know, me
- 7:34Speaker 3: and Allison to get to the point where we're just
- 7:36Speaker 3: like I can't do it.
- 7:39Speaker 1: We we do really well, and uh, you know it.
- 7:43Speaker 3: Just the problem is without a proper CEO who isn't
- 7:49Speaker 3: hosting the show, it's not possible. Like I think we
- 7:51Speaker 3: have like thirty something employees. And so you know, the
- 7:54Speaker 3: conversations I've had with family is like, I am under
- 7:56Speaker 3: no illusions that I have the capability to make this
- 8:00Speaker 3: company what it could mean it's and I hear all
- 8:03Speaker 3: these says.
- 8:04Speaker 1: No, Tim, you're wrong, You're wrong.
- 8:05Speaker 3: Oh, come on, We've been trying to get a coffee
- 8:07Speaker 3: shop up for two years.
- 8:08Speaker 1: Clearly I cannot do it. I skateboard every day.
- 8:14Speaker 3: Yeah, if we can't make cameras in a computer work,
- 8:17Speaker 3: and despite all the previous failures we've had, there's not
- 8:20Speaker 3: a single person here who can make sure that either
- 8:23Speaker 3: the studio's operating or secondary studios operating. We've gotten to
- 8:29Speaker 3: a point in the company where everyone's kind of just
- 8:31Speaker 3: kicked their feet up and said I'm doing what I
- 8:32Speaker 3: need to be doing. Yeah, and then that just means
- 8:36Speaker 3: I'm sisyphists pushing the rock up.
- 8:38Speaker 1: The problem is people are sitting.
- 8:39Speaker 4: On the rock. Yeah.
- 8:40Speaker 1: All right, So the sad music doesn't really help. I mean,
- 8:43Speaker 1: I'm not playing. I wanted something that kind of like
- 8:47Speaker 1: basically makes it really concise, because this is like part
- 8:50Speaker 1: of a much longer it's like a two hour podcast episode.
- 8:54Speaker 1: And he had Dave landau On and he went back
- 8:56Speaker 1: to his old studio to talk about it. But what
- 9:00Speaker 1: it seems like is happening is that he hired all
- 9:04Speaker 1: of his friends so like people that he knew, people
- 9:08Speaker 1: that he boarded with, people that he played music with.
- 9:10Speaker 1: Because you know, he does he makes music, and he
- 9:13Speaker 1: skateboards and he does his show. He's not lazy. So
- 9:17Speaker 1: when he says laziness, I don't think he's talking about himself,
- 9:19Speaker 1: because like I met the guy a couple of times,
- 9:22Speaker 1: and he was so focused on doing his job. That's
- 9:26Speaker 1: like like even at a party, he was completely like deadpan,
- 9:29Speaker 1: like I'm just like, you know, focused at on, like
- 9:33Speaker 1: what's the next thing. I remember I met him in
- 9:35Speaker 1: twenty seventeen when we went to California. You remember you remember that, Mike.
- 9:39Speaker 1: You were there for the Vidcom thing and there was
- 9:42Speaker 1: a big party and Buntie King threw a bash.
- 9:45Speaker 2: Over the place. He even turned up to the to
- 9:48Speaker 2: the count jennkular rally.
- 9:50Speaker 1: Oh I didn't go to that twenty eighteen.
- 9:54Speaker 2: He could afford to travel all over the place just
- 9:56Speaker 2: to turn up at a sort of yeah gathering to
- 10:00Speaker 2: to protest against these sort of things, and that that
- 10:02Speaker 2: was back in the day when he was just his
- 10:05Speaker 2: channel and he's just he would just do all of
- 10:08Speaker 2: his stories all the time, and he would do multiple
- 10:10Speaker 2: stories a day, and he had the energy to do that.
- 10:13Speaker 2: It's weird that now that he has thirty people under him,
- 10:17Speaker 2: he no longer has the energy. I don't I don't
- 10:19Speaker 2: think his enything to with energy. I think he's made
- 10:22Speaker 2: a shitload of money. He's a millionaire, he's a multi millionaire.
- 10:25Speaker 2: At this point, I get the feeling he's just kind
- 10:28Speaker 2: of going, I made my money. I'm ducking out now.
- 10:31Speaker 2: I think I can retire and just live a good
- 10:34Speaker 2: life from now on, and that's fine. You know. That's
- 10:37Speaker 2: why don't have a.
- 10:39Speaker 4: Problem with possibility. There's also the issue of if you
- 10:43Speaker 4: ever had to manage people, that that can get a
- 10:48Speaker 4: lot tougher than you would think it would, even if
- 10:51Speaker 4: they're people, well, actually even especially if they're people that
- 10:54Speaker 4: you were friends with prior to becoming kind of their manager.
- 11:01Speaker 4: The more that the more that somebody can draw on
- 11:07Speaker 4: sympathy that they feel that you already have for them,
- 11:11Speaker 4: and they feel entitled to draw on or safe drawing on,
- 11:16Speaker 4: or at least trying the harder it is to hold
- 11:20Speaker 4: people accountable when they don't do what they say they're
- 11:24Speaker 4: gonna do or do what they should be doing. And
- 11:27Speaker 4: if he's dealing with like we hear at Honeybat Badger
- 11:31Speaker 4: Radio have had volunteers in the past, and we've had volunteers,
- 11:35Speaker 4: we have volunteers now, and we'll probably have volunteers in
- 11:39Speaker 4: the future. And people can do that for a while,
- 11:41Speaker 4: and they can't always do it permanently. Everybody's life has
- 11:45Speaker 4: changes that take place, and in the last few years,
- 11:48Speaker 4: a lot of people's lives have changed dramatically, like lost
- 11:52Speaker 4: I lost both my parents. Everything that I was doing
- 11:55Speaker 4: in my life changed dramatically, and a lot of the
- 11:59Speaker 4: reasons for it changed. And so it's been similar with
- 12:07Speaker 4: a lot of people I know. And it probably happened
- 12:10Speaker 4: along his crew as well. And if he's trying to
- 12:13Speaker 4: manage people through stuff like that, that stuff impacts as well.
- 12:17Speaker 4: And if it's affecting his ability to manage his podcast,
- 12:24Speaker 4: and if he has I'm sure he has a standard
- 12:26Speaker 4: of quality that he wants to put out there. Yeah,
- 12:31Speaker 4: running a business while he's trying to do his research,
- 12:34Speaker 4: and then at the same time, it's a journalistic type business.
- 12:38Speaker 4: It's not journalistic like straightforward reporting. It's journalistic like journalistic commentary.
- 12:46Speaker 4: But it does really make it difficult. So I can
- 12:49Speaker 4: see where he might have gotten to a point where
- 12:51Speaker 4: he doesn't feel like he can provide the quality that
- 12:55Speaker 4: he wants to provide and manage the people that he's
- 12:58Speaker 4: working with as specially if they were all his friends,
- 13:03Speaker 4: then then he may have to do this. You know,
- 13:06Speaker 4: this may be something that he's looking at going forward.
- 13:09Speaker 4: It's going to fall apart in front of everybody, and
- 13:11Speaker 4: he doesn't want to let that happen.
- 13:14Speaker 1: I wanted to also add a little bit more to
- 13:17Speaker 1: this because you know, some people who have been responded
- 13:20Speaker 1: to us that are actually like more or less on
- 13:22Speaker 1: his side, have kind of, you know, ridiculed him a bit,
- 13:26Speaker 1: calling him a cry baby and stuff like that, and
- 13:29Speaker 1: you know, generally, this is what happens when men like
- 13:32Speaker 1: air their actual like things that they're going through and
- 13:35Speaker 1: seeing that they're struggling with all of a sudden, they
- 13:36Speaker 1: do get made fun of for it. But that's not
- 13:38Speaker 1: really what I want to put the focus on. I
- 13:40Speaker 1: think to add more to this. Okay, first off, I
- 13:43Speaker 1: am impressed with Tim Poole's progress, how much he's grown
- 13:47Speaker 1: considering how young he is and where he started from,
- 13:51Speaker 1: and his ability to like shift his you know, sort
- 13:54Speaker 1: of perspective over time. I mean, I always make fun
- 13:56Speaker 1: of him for being a fensitter, and I still believe
- 13:59Speaker 1: that on a lot of things, he he's like he
- 14:00Speaker 1: plays it safe, but it's fine, Like he used to
- 14:04Speaker 1: work advice. So let's just say that that is a
- 14:07Speaker 1: massive shift. But the other thing is, let's look at Okay,
- 14:10Speaker 1: first of all, when he said he was thinking about
- 14:13Speaker 1: ending his show, he was only talking about the timcast
- 14:17Speaker 1: irl podcast, which was the one where, you know, the
- 14:20Speaker 1: one that most people know. But he has several other
- 14:24Speaker 1: you know shows going on. But there's also another thing
- 14:27Speaker 1: to take in consideration. So let's I'm trying to look
- 14:30Speaker 1: at this in the in the in the fairest way.
- 14:32Speaker 1: So he brought a bunch of people on board to
- 14:34Speaker 1: work for him. Most of those people were his friends.
- 14:37Speaker 1: So it was like he was trying to give his
- 14:39Speaker 1: friends opportunities. And I get that because if I ever
- 14:43Speaker 1: started a big business and I had like my friends
- 14:45Speaker 1: and I thought they could be you know, that they
- 14:47Speaker 1: were interested, and it was giving them an opportunity. I
- 14:50Speaker 1: could see myself wanting to bring them on board. There
- 14:53Speaker 1: are there are risks that come with this. It's kind
- 14:56Speaker 1: of like working with family, you know, you don't know
- 14:58Speaker 1: if they're not going to take advantage of that reallyationship
- 15:00Speaker 1: and exploit it. He has talked about people stealing equipment
- 15:03Speaker 1: that he hired on and stealing from his company, but
- 15:07Speaker 1: it's probably not such a big problem that they you know,
- 15:10Speaker 1: weren't able to sort of like you know, adapt and
- 15:12Speaker 1: move on. There's also the idea that the company did
- 15:16Speaker 1: get really big, and I think the bigger a company gets,
- 15:20Speaker 1: you know, the more people you have in it, the
- 15:22Speaker 1: more people you're going to have that aren't doing that much.
- 15:25Speaker 1: So they it becomes like the Pareto principle, you know,
- 15:28Speaker 1: as they say, like twenty percent of the people do
- 15:31Speaker 1: most of the work or something like that. So he
- 15:33Speaker 1: is probably running into people who just aren't putting in there,
- 15:37Speaker 1: you know, the the amount of work they should be,
- 15:39Speaker 1: and it becoming something that he's just paying for. Fortunately,
- 15:43Speaker 1: this team here at HBr is really small, so I
- 15:46Speaker 1: guess that kind of keeps that from happening. And then
- 15:49Speaker 1: there's the other thing is that he used to work.
- 15:51Speaker 1: He was a part of a larger company that Lauren
- 15:55Speaker 1: Chen started called Tenet Media, and Tenet Media like the
- 15:59Speaker 1: it basically employed because of some like you know, lawsuit
- 16:02Speaker 1: involving Russian money. I think we covered it on the
- 16:06Speaker 1: New Show while back, and it was basically a collection
- 16:09Speaker 1: of other you know, sort of content creators. So like
- 16:12Speaker 1: the quartering I think was part of it. Benny Johnson,
- 16:15Speaker 1: Matt Christiansen, Timpoole, Lauren Chen and speaking about and Lauren
- 16:21Speaker 1: Southern Radio silent. Yes, Lauren Sheen has too. I haven't
- 16:26Speaker 1: heard anything from either of them. And the thing is,
- 16:29Speaker 1: I'm not accusing them of anything, but I think that
- 16:31Speaker 1: that kind of thing, like when you get with this
- 16:34Speaker 1: massive lawsuit out of the blue and these crazy allegations,
- 16:38Speaker 1: you know, I think it can be demoralizing if you're
- 16:41Speaker 1: just sort of like tangentially attached. Because Tim Poole has
- 16:44Speaker 1: been sort of like you know, made to try to
- 16:48Speaker 1: answer for this stuff ever since this happened. I remember
- 16:50Speaker 1: I saw him on Piers Morgan and I was gonna
- 16:52Speaker 1: make this a show topic if Alison wanted to. But
- 16:55Speaker 1: where you know, there was like a woman on there
- 16:57Speaker 1: accusing everybody of being sexist, and Temple was on there
- 17:02Speaker 1: having to defend himself and this one was throwing this
- 17:04Speaker 1: whole like you know, you're getting you're taking Russian money
- 17:07Speaker 1: and all that. So I think that it can sort of,
- 17:10Speaker 1: you know, be extremely stressful with all of these things
- 17:13Speaker 1: coming together. And maybe he and again, like Mike said,
- 17:16Speaker 1: he doesn't have to work, but if you look at it,
- 17:18Speaker 1: that is kind of a lot to deal with. Plus,
- 17:20Speaker 1: you know, Matt. Speaking of Matt Christiansen, he used to
- 17:23Speaker 1: have a weekly show with blonde in the Belly of
- 17:25Speaker 1: the Beast, Rebecca I don't remember her last name, or
- 17:28Speaker 1: I don't know her last name, and they had a
- 17:30Speaker 1: big falling out and it was for similar reasons. Matt
- 17:33Speaker 1: Christensen was doing most of the work on that show.
- 17:35Speaker 1: Rebecca would just show up and have commentary, and yet
- 17:38Speaker 1: he was splitting the money fifty to fifty, and all
- 17:41Speaker 1: he asked of her was for her to be consistent
- 17:43Speaker 1: and you know, committed to doing the show because he
- 17:46Speaker 1: thought that she brought something special to it, and she
- 17:49Speaker 1: just like left and I guess, you know, kind of
- 17:53Speaker 1: burned some bridges on the way out. So then this
- 17:56Speaker 1: is another thing, right, so like I'm looking at it
- 17:58Speaker 1: from this and it's kind of because you're seeing, you know,
- 18:01Speaker 1: all these things kind of happening. But I know that
- 18:05Speaker 1: Temple's not going to go away. He's just going to
- 18:09Speaker 1: probably cut back his content. He doesn't really have to
- 18:12Speaker 1: be all that ambitious. And for people who don't think
- 18:15Speaker 1: he's done anything, I mean he got to talk. He
- 18:18Speaker 1: sat down with Donald Trump and did an interview with
- 18:20Speaker 1: him and held his feet to the fire on certain
- 18:23Speaker 1: things like you know, foreign wars and such. I thought
- 18:26Speaker 1: that was amazing and and there aren't a lot of
- 18:28Speaker 1: people who can say that other than like what Patrick
- 18:31Speaker 1: Bette David, who's like a billionaire anyways, So yeah, I
- 18:36Speaker 1: think it's I mean, Temple did what Joe Rogan wouldn't do.
- 18:39Speaker 1: So there's that. So like, yeah, I mean, like big
- 18:42Speaker 1: ups to you. What I would say is you probably
- 18:45Speaker 1: need to decompress. Do not let these people demoralize you,
- 18:49Speaker 1: because that is the goal. And I know that everything
- 18:51Speaker 1: that's happened with Tenet Media, with Lauren Chan, Lauren Southern,
- 18:55Speaker 1: and Matt Christensen on top of like your own friends
- 18:59Speaker 1: like this, this is why you should be very I'm
- 19:01Speaker 1: not saying you shouldn't work with friends. I would like
- 19:05Speaker 1: to believe that I work with friends when I do
- 19:07Speaker 1: this show, but that you don't let people exploit your
- 19:12Speaker 1: friendship so that they can get away with shit, Like
- 19:15Speaker 1: if they're not really putting in what you're putting in,
- 19:18Speaker 1: or like trying to like help you realize a vision,
- 19:20Speaker 1: or you're not marching in this thing together, then then
- 19:23Speaker 1: maybe they're not actually your friends. Maybe they're just people
- 19:25Speaker 1: that you skateboard with or play in a band with.
- 19:28Speaker 1: So anyway, those were Yeah, go ahead, Mike.
- 19:32Speaker 2: It's the wings of Icarus that sort of hang over
- 19:36Speaker 2: all of us, not just on the right, but on
- 19:38Speaker 2: the left and on everything in between. As you grow
- 19:43Speaker 2: bigger and bigger, you sort of if you continue to
- 19:49Speaker 2: grow in that trajectory, you inevitably reach the point where
- 19:52Speaker 2: you can't handle it anymore. And and because this happens
- 19:55Speaker 2: to so many of us to go into it on
- 19:57Speaker 2: our own, just doing our own channel, and eventually some
- 20:01Speaker 2: people get so big that they have to create a company,
- 20:05Speaker 2: and and they were never prepared for this in the
- 20:07Speaker 2: first place, because we go into this just as individuals
- 20:11Speaker 2: just doing doing our own thing, and we don't have
- 20:14Speaker 2: that same mentality that businessmen go into these things. Yes,
- 20:20Speaker 2: this businessmen that always had this sort of drive to
- 20:25Speaker 2: grow bigger and be like like Trump Trump. Trump has
- 20:29Speaker 2: proved himself able to just grow and grow and get
- 20:32Speaker 2: more and more employees to the nth degree and they
- 20:36Speaker 2: can somehow handle it. But the Internet has made it
- 20:40Speaker 2: possible for people who would never dream of being able
- 20:44Speaker 2: to do that sort of sort of falling into that thing.
- 20:48Speaker 2: And that's and that's why I'm sort of paradoxically grateful
- 20:53Speaker 2: that I've been able to sit in the shadows, and
- 20:56Speaker 2: so of all of us, we've been able to to
- 20:59Speaker 2: to to do this from the shadows this time because
- 21:04Speaker 2: we've been able we've been able to do this just
- 21:06Speaker 2: with our close friends, Yeah, and not have and not
- 21:10Speaker 2: have to to grow it into into a big old
- 21:13Speaker 2: company where we have to pay thirty people or or
- 21:17Speaker 2: or hundreds of people or more. Because that's that's that's
- 21:19Speaker 2: that's where it gets. Yeah, this is where it grows
- 21:23Speaker 2: beyond what you ever thought you you can ever handle.
- 21:27Speaker 2: And God knows if if if YouTube didn't throttle us
- 21:31Speaker 2: and shadow ban us into into obscurity, we might be
- 21:34Speaker 2: in that position where we're employing dozens of people, and
- 21:38Speaker 2: and we might have trouble handling all of that, but
- 21:41Speaker 2: we don't have to deal with that because we've been
- 21:44Speaker 2: shadow band and throttled into into the same obscurity that
- 21:49Speaker 2: we've that we've always lived in. And that's why we
- 21:51Speaker 2: are that we are the tartoise that that is capable
- 21:54Speaker 2: of beating the hair.
- 21:56Speaker 1: Yeah, I was gonna I was gonna add to that
- 21:58Speaker 1: to you know, Carl So, I mean, he kind of
- 22:01Speaker 1: did something different. He built his own media company to
- 22:04Speaker 1: the Lotus Eaters, And I don't know if it's because
- 22:07Speaker 1: you know, he's his team is a lot you know,
- 22:10Speaker 1: they're well, they're they're less prolific, they're still pretty. You know,
- 22:14Speaker 1: they do a lot of work, and I think it's
- 22:16Speaker 1: good work. But for whatever reason, they're not in like
- 22:19Speaker 1: the the sights of like the you know, sort of
- 22:23Speaker 1: woke cathedral as much as Tim. I mean Tim's had
- 22:27Speaker 1: he's been swatted a number of times, Like I said,
- 22:30Speaker 1: he's had on pretty controversial as guests. He's he's had
- 22:33Speaker 1: Kanye West on his show. You know, he's interviewed Trump
- 22:36Speaker 1: like this is massive, But I think I think I
- 22:39Speaker 1: think it comes down to, like how many times your
- 22:43Speaker 1: work in unintentionally or intentionally pokes the bear, and I
- 22:46Speaker 1: think Tim's poked the bear more than say Carl has.
- 22:49Speaker 1: But I wouldn't be surprised if the Lotus eaters, you know,
- 22:53Speaker 1: got their own kind of trouble, maybe in the same
- 22:56Speaker 1: way that guys like you know, outspoken dissident types like
- 22:59Speaker 1: Lawrence Fox has. I mean, he's been arrested, you know.
- 23:03Speaker 1: And I was just for like COVID stuff, right, So
- 23:08Speaker 1: I just wanted to say that, you know, don't be
- 23:10Speaker 1: demoralized him. Keep the bead on tight and keep keep
- 23:14Speaker 1: at it. It's okay if you need to cut back
- 23:16Speaker 1: on your work. And also, yeah, be careful who you
- 23:20Speaker 1: let into your circle, especially because you are, you know,
- 23:23Speaker 1: whether you like it or not, considered a radical by
- 23:27Speaker 1: the Cathedral. So all right, I got a super chow.
- 23:29Speaker 1: Oh did Hannah, did you want to anything else? Because
- 23:31Speaker 1: I think you were trying to talk.
- 23:33Speaker 3: No.
- 23:34Speaker 4: I just most of most of the things that go
- 23:38Speaker 4: along with running a media company we pretty much covered.
- 23:40Speaker 4: He probably also had ads too, didn't he.
- 23:44Speaker 1: I don't think he did. Actually I don't. Well, you know,
- 23:46Speaker 1: I didn't watch a lot of tempooles, so I couldn't say.
- 23:49Speaker 1: Maybe he did. He's not like the Quartering. Quartering's got
- 23:51Speaker 1: all kinds of ads. But like, I don't I know that.
- 23:54Speaker 1: I do know one thing that Tempoole said, and I
- 23:56Speaker 1: think this is a testament to like what he wants
- 23:59Speaker 1: out of his company. I mean, he used to say
- 24:00Speaker 1: that he would love for his show to be more
- 24:04Speaker 1: like Stephen crowder show. Because Steven Crowder's show, he says,
- 24:07Speaker 1: it's a gold standard. I believe that that's true, whether
- 24:10Speaker 1: you like it or not. I think the way that
- 24:12Speaker 1: Crowder's show is formatted, he has like you know, he
- 24:15Speaker 1: does little videos, he has sketches, he does the new stuff,
- 24:19Speaker 1: he brings on guests, Like I think that that is
- 24:22Speaker 1: what I think would be a great format for our show.
- 24:26Speaker 1: I mean I always talk about I know that it's
- 24:27Speaker 1: not really like within reach because of how far away
- 24:30Speaker 1: we are, but something like it I think would be amazing.
- 24:33Speaker 1: And I agree with Tim, and that's what I think.
- 24:35Speaker 1: That's what Tim. Yeah, I think that's what Tim was
- 24:38Speaker 1: shooting for.
- 24:38Speaker 4: But now the reason I was wondering about that is,
- 24:41Speaker 4: like I'm coming at this from a different standpoint. Right,
- 24:43Speaker 4: My family has had media businesses We've had a photography
- 24:48Speaker 4: business that was we did journalistic photography, we did portraits
- 24:53Speaker 4: and weddings and all that. So there was a variety
- 24:56Speaker 4: of stuff we did. And then we ran a newspaper
- 24:59Speaker 4: for three years in the ag and so I kind
- 25:03Speaker 4: of learned a lot about all of that. And our
- 25:09Speaker 4: family newspaper did get to a point where we had
- 25:11Speaker 4: to make a decision whether this was going to be
- 25:14Speaker 4: a full time, constant endeavor that my parents relied on
- 25:19Speaker 4: for their income or they were going to have to
- 25:21Speaker 4: back out of it because it got big enough that
- 25:24Speaker 4: it was going to require that much work. And they
- 25:26Speaker 4: ended up deciding that they did not want to stop
- 25:29Speaker 4: being teachers, and that was you can't do both. You
- 25:33Speaker 4: can't run a media conglomerate and have another job. And
- 25:39Speaker 4: so he may have things going on in his life
- 25:41Speaker 4: where he's made decisions, and when you throw in advertising
- 25:45Speaker 4: or anything like that where you are doing business with
- 25:50Speaker 4: any third parties as part of your business, it gets
- 25:54Speaker 4: another layer of complication gets added. If you have a payroll,
- 25:57Speaker 4: another layer of complication gets added. He may just be
- 26:01Speaker 4: stepping back and reevaluating, and we may see him come
- 26:03Speaker 4: back from this with some doing something new or he
- 26:07Speaker 4: may really be burned out. It's a lot to take
- 26:09Speaker 4: on all at once.
- 26:10Speaker 1: It is. Yeah, it gets to you eventually. All right, Well,
- 26:14Speaker 1: let us know what you guys think about this in
- 26:15Speaker 1: the comments. Like I said, I'm still like basically supportive
- 26:19Speaker 1: of him existing. I think he needs to be in
- 26:21Speaker 1: the space. I think it's important despite the fact that, yeah,
- 26:24Speaker 1: he says bone hitted things when it comes to men
- 26:26Speaker 1: and women and feminism.
- 26:28Speaker 2: You'll get your civil War team sooner.
- 26:30Speaker 1: Really, yeah, maybe he is the first casualty. But yeah,
- 26:35Speaker 1: let us know what you guys think about that in
- 26:37Speaker 1: the comments. I'm gonna read your super chows and super
- 26:39Speaker 1: chats and then we're gonna move on to the next story.
- 26:41Speaker 1: So Meredith June gives us five dollars and says, HPR
- 26:46Speaker 1: News number four seventy five, Honey for the Badger. You
- 26:48Speaker 1: realize that there has been multiple issues in the company
- 26:51Speaker 1: over the years, and some of it has involved family
- 26:54Speaker 1: and longtime friends, and hiring your friends may be part
- 26:57Speaker 1: of the problems. Yes, I think that there are people
- 27:00Speaker 1: but who would like it sucks to have like, you know,
- 27:03Speaker 1: you get a friend hired at your job. I've done
- 27:05Speaker 1: that and then they like get lazy and complacent because
- 27:08Speaker 1: they think that because they're friends with you, it makes
- 27:10Speaker 1: it okay. Oh it's terrible. Also, the Tim cast Irl
- 27:13Speaker 1: show is the one where they have experienced multiple swatting events. Yeah,
- 27:18Speaker 1: but he basically lives in a compound with like all
- 27:20Speaker 1: kinds of guns, skateboards, and chickens. I don't know who
- 27:24Speaker 1: would have the courage to invade that space, but.
- 27:27Speaker 2: Well we don't. We don't get lazy people involved in
- 27:30Speaker 2: home baer. We get very motivated people who go on
- 27:32Speaker 2: to make bigger chunnels than us.
- 27:34Speaker 1: Yeah, right, exactly. Yeah, we we are the magic, the
- 27:39Speaker 1: magic sprinkle juice that basically transforms Blair White into somebody
- 27:44Speaker 1: who can tour the country and hang out with Rosie
- 27:47Speaker 1: what is her name, rose Ambar not Rosie or Donald
- 27:49Speaker 1: Roseanne bar So and Max.
- 27:52Speaker 2: He's got a much bigger channel than us. Crap, Yeah, Agent,
- 27:55Speaker 2: they've all got much biggest channels than us. Yeah, well
- 27:58Speaker 2: you're welcome. I mean we were only a springboard. Yeah,
- 28:01Speaker 2: basically it's nice.
- 28:05Speaker 1: All right, thank you for that, Meredith, You are, in
- 28:08Speaker 1: fact the real g And then ZARANX gives us five
- 28:12Speaker 1: dollars and says Tim said, Tenant licensed his culture podcast
- 28:16Speaker 1: and I think he was paid one hundred thousand dollars
- 28:18Speaker 1: for it. After Tenant fell, that podcast is back on
- 28:21Speaker 1: his channel. Oh, the Culture War one? Is that the
- 28:23Speaker 1: one with that young lady that hosts it, that zoomer chick.
- 28:27Speaker 1: I don't remember her name, but I know that there's
- 28:30Speaker 1: like a I think it is Culture Wars or something
- 28:32Speaker 1: like that, and it's basically like more so talking about
- 28:34Speaker 1: pop culture stuff. But anyway, yeah, thank you for the
- 28:38Speaker 1: superchows and so on. Yes, Shoe on Head used to
- 28:40Speaker 1: go on our show as well. That's right. I believe
- 28:44Speaker 1: that she's got a baby and that's why we haven't
- 28:46Speaker 1: seen her in a while. So congratulations shoe if that's true. Okay,
- 28:52Speaker 1: so let's move on to the next story. Let us
- 28:54Speaker 1: know what you guys think about this one in the
- 28:56Speaker 1: comments section. So next up, we got Tamala Harris. Now,
- 29:01Speaker 1: why oh why would I bring this up? Well, because
- 29:04Speaker 1: it's important to note again this campaign, in particular, this
- 29:08Speaker 1: election is probably even more of a battle between feminism
- 29:13Speaker 1: and nonfeminism, or at least, like, you know, a kind
- 29:17Speaker 1: of normal level of feminism, I guess, than any before
- 29:21Speaker 1: in my lifetime, even more than Hillary Clinton in twenty sixteen.
- 29:24Speaker 1: And this is because, like Hillary Clinton can't really cry misogyny.
- 29:28Speaker 1: Although she tried, it didn't really land well because she
- 29:31Speaker 1: was a little too old and she wasn't very likable.
- 29:34Speaker 1: But this isn't stopping Kamala and the entire media apparatus
- 29:39Speaker 1: from trying to play the same game. So we're gonna
- 29:43Speaker 1: get into that right now. Kamala Harris has suggested that
- 29:46Speaker 1: men do not support her who do not support her
- 29:50Speaker 1: are potentially misogynistic. This statement has sparked significant reactions, predominantly
- 29:56Speaker 1: from you know viewpoints on the pro magas, which argue
- 30:02Speaker 1: that her comments reflect a broader issue of identity politics
- 30:06Speaker 1: within the Democratic Party, but more accurately feminism. Critics, including
- 30:13Speaker 1: those cited in this article from the Gateway Pundit, argue
- 30:16Speaker 1: that such rhetoric alienates potential voters by implying the opposition
- 30:20Speaker 1: or lack of support is rooted in gender bias rather
- 30:24Speaker 1: than policy disagreement or political alignment. So she was sitting
- 30:28Speaker 1: down with Al Sharpton, who's totally a credible individual, and
- 30:32Speaker 1: he basically fed her the answer, do you think that
- 30:37Speaker 1: you know the reason why black men. Oh and by
- 30:39Speaker 1: the way, that's the important thing too. They're talking about
- 30:42Speaker 1: black men. So obviously this is where black guys that
- 30:46Speaker 1: you're watching, you lose your black card immediately when a
- 30:50Speaker 1: woman gets involved. And I want you to remember and
- 30:52Speaker 1: internalize that. Seriously. Okay, So black men who do not agree,
- 30:58Speaker 1: and Bobama already did this too, like last week or something.
- 31:02Speaker 1: He basically said that he was he ridiculed and wagged
- 31:05Speaker 1: his finger at black men for not, you know, coming
- 31:08Speaker 1: out in the same with the same energy, uh, to
- 31:11Speaker 1: support Kamala And but yeah, so al Sharpton basically said
- 31:18Speaker 1: that you know, don't you think that this there is
- 31:21Speaker 1: a problem with misogyny in in the black male population
- 31:24Speaker 1: because they're not supporting you. And naturally, because he fed
- 31:27Speaker 1: her this line, she agreed. So uh, this is uh
- 31:32Speaker 1: I think. Okay, So I just want to lay out
- 31:35Speaker 1: my opinion. You guys can say whatever. So, yeah, Mike,
- 31:39Speaker 1: go ahead.
- 31:40Speaker 2: Have you finished laying out your opinion?
- 31:42Speaker 1: No, I'm about to. I'm about to, okay. So the okay,
- 31:47Speaker 1: so the the these people don't have anything else to play,
- 31:52Speaker 1: so they and they can't actually say we want to
- 31:56Speaker 1: address the concerns that men have, because the concerns that
- 32:01Speaker 1: men have put them in odds with their agenda, and
- 32:06Speaker 1: the group that they are currently pandering to are women
- 32:10Speaker 1: as a block of voters. So they cannot give men
- 32:15Speaker 1: any like room in there because anything that is given
- 32:19Speaker 1: to men is seen as being taken away from women.
- 32:22Speaker 1: It is a zero sum game in the eyes of
- 32:25Speaker 1: the people that are you know, doing this, So they
- 32:29Speaker 1: can't actually say, okay, men, we know what you're concerned
- 32:32Speaker 1: with are things like jobs and your ability to support
- 32:35Speaker 1: your family, and your ability to you know, buy groceries, whatever, immigration,
- 32:41Speaker 1: you know, all of these other things. They can't do
- 32:43Speaker 1: that because they're promising the women abortions and anything nothing
- 32:49Speaker 1: else should take priority over that. And so what they're
- 32:51Speaker 1: doing is the thing that they have been doing since
- 32:54Speaker 1: this has been going on, is essentially trying to shame
- 32:57Speaker 1: men into voting out of guilt. You have to support
- 33:00Speaker 1: your women. You know you hate women, You're a misogynist.
- 33:04Speaker 1: You how do you reconcile that, How do you make
- 33:07Speaker 1: up for that? How do you repent? Will vote for
- 33:10Speaker 1: Kamala Harris? And so that's what the tactic is because
- 33:12Speaker 1: they have nothing left when it comes to men, they
- 33:15Speaker 1: and the thing is that that's just how it always
- 33:17Speaker 1: has been for at least for a very long time.
- 33:19Speaker 1: So anyway, Mike, go ahead take it away.
- 33:22Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm pretty sure I warned you all about this
- 33:26Speaker 2: back in the day when Joe Biden was still the president,
- 33:29Speaker 2: not that Joe Biden was ever really the president. It's
- 33:32Speaker 2: now beyond reputation that no individual was ever in charge
- 33:37Speaker 2: of the Democrat Party. It's an oligarchy of money sinks,
- 33:43Speaker 2: corroborated in a great money abyss, designed only to siphon
- 33:48Speaker 2: the fruits of your labor to the highest bidder. But,
- 33:50Speaker 2: as I warned you, if Kamala Harris ever becomes president,
- 33:55Speaker 2: you will not be able to criticize anything the president does.
- 33:59Speaker 2: You will be dismissed as a sexist and a racist.
- 34:03Speaker 2: The bullet you dodged when you voted against Hillary is
- 34:07Speaker 2: nothing compared with the bullet you will not dodge when
- 34:11Speaker 2: it comes to Kamla. She could drop a thousand nukes
- 34:16Speaker 2: on Russia, and Russia could in turn drop a thousand
- 34:19Speaker 2: nukes on America, And while you desperately seethe from the
- 34:23Speaker 2: wasteland of nuclear fallout, your complaints will only land you
- 34:27Speaker 2: in prison, because how dare you criticize a woman of color?
- 34:33Speaker 2: You all saw that interviews she did at Fox News
- 34:37Speaker 2: right where she said Donald Trump will prosecute people just
- 34:41Speaker 2: for peacefully protesting. And I'm satist screaming at the screen
- 34:47Speaker 2: about January the sixth, people are still languishing in prison
- 34:51Speaker 2: for peacefully protesting against a stolen election. This is what
- 34:57Speaker 2: they could achieve even when the president and was an
- 35:01Speaker 2: old white guy like Joe Biden. You cannot begin to
- 35:05Speaker 2: imagine what they can and will get away with when
- 35:10Speaker 2: the president is a woman of color. They won't even
- 35:13Speaker 2: need to spin any bullshit about how this was the
- 35:16Speaker 2: most secure elation in history. They won't even need to
- 35:19Speaker 2: spin any bullshit other than the only two words they
- 35:25Speaker 2: ever need to utter. Sexist. Racist. I can't afford to
- 35:30Speaker 2: feed my children while you're sex is racist. My home
- 35:34Speaker 2: got just got ransacked and taken over by a gang
- 35:37Speaker 2: of illegal Venezuelan aliens. Sex is racist. I'm dying slowly
- 35:43Speaker 2: from radiation poisoning from the dirty bomb that just went
- 35:46Speaker 2: off in my city because of your foreign policies. Rah,
- 35:50Speaker 2: sex is racist. This is your future, folks, forever, even
- 35:56Speaker 2: when Europeans have been wiped out. Even when every man
- 36:00Speaker 2: is identifying as a woman, this is still your future
- 36:04Speaker 2: because if you criticize the president, they will dismiss you
- 36:08Speaker 2: as a regressive dinosaur who longs for the long ago
- 36:13Speaker 2: when white men ruled with an iron fist, in those
- 36:17Speaker 2: halcyon days, when you could run your own business and
- 36:20Speaker 2: make your own money. That was the past, and the
- 36:23Speaker 2: future is women of color. The future is good and
- 36:28Speaker 2: the past is bad. No matter what happens or what
- 36:31Speaker 2: has happened, the future is female. And you can't argue
- 36:36Speaker 2: with the future because it has already happened. It's what
- 36:41Speaker 2: gives me pause when it comes when it comes to
- 36:44Speaker 2: what we used to call the divine right of kings.
- 36:48Speaker 2: It just means if God allowed this regime to rule,
- 36:53Speaker 2: then it must be the right thing to do, because
- 36:56Speaker 2: fate has decreed it. Well, you could say the same
- 36:59Speaker 2: thing saying about the thousand years of darkness that could
- 37:03Speaker 2: be about to descend on us. It is happening, therefore
- 37:08Speaker 2: it was always supposed to happen. Yeah, it's the same
- 37:12Speaker 2: proposition as you can't stop progress, and I disagree. Sometimes
- 37:20Speaker 2: awful things happen and you can't just excuse it by
- 37:25Speaker 2: saying it happened, therefore it was bound to happen. These
- 37:28Speaker 2: things only happen because people resign themselves to whatever happens
- 37:33Speaker 2: to be happening. Don't get me wrong, I think we
- 37:37Speaker 2: were better off with kings than we ever have been
- 37:41Speaker 2: with the failed god that is democracy. What democracy is
- 37:45Speaker 2: leading us towards is a fate far worse than the
- 37:50Speaker 2: excesses of any monarchy. What we're missing is the two
- 37:57Speaker 2: way street of accountability. Whoever is in charge should face
- 38:02Speaker 2: the sword of Damocles. That there needs to be a
- 38:06Speaker 2: mechanism in place for the people who to exact vengeance
- 38:12Speaker 2: on the leaders. For the most part, that's how it
- 38:16Speaker 2: works during monarchy. If you, as a king, completely fuck
- 38:21Speaker 2: up in your responsibilities as king, the people will have
- 38:25Speaker 2: no choice but to exact the magna carta. Failing that
- 38:29Speaker 2: will just cut your fucking head off. It's not an
- 38:32Speaker 2: ideal state of affairs, but there's no such thing as
- 38:36Speaker 2: an ideal state of affairs. We're a complicated species. We
- 38:41Speaker 2: need a complicated system of rule if we are to
- 38:45Speaker 2: thrive from one age to the next. If we have
- 38:49Speaker 2: a system wherein the ruling class can do anything they
- 38:54Speaker 2: like with no fear of consequences. Then we can expect
- 38:57Speaker 2: a thousand years of darkness, or in all likelihood, a
- 39:01Speaker 2: swift collapse of the empire. Or empires typically last approximately
- 39:10Speaker 2: two hundred and fifty years. Unless you may have noticed,
- 39:15Speaker 2: we are now two years awave in the two hundred
- 39:17Speaker 2: and fiftieth anniversary of the American Empire. This is why
- 39:21Speaker 2: we're calling this the most important collection of our lifetime,
- 39:25Speaker 2: and not just in America, but in the rest of
- 39:27Speaker 2: the world. And in this case it's true, we're two
- 39:31Speaker 2: weeks away from the inflection point at which the empire
- 39:35Speaker 2: will result in either the Big Brother future or the
- 39:39Speaker 2: future in which we finally get over this insane kind
- 39:43Speaker 2: of centrism and we can explore the Solar System or
- 39:48Speaker 2: indeed the cosmos and become an interstellar species. I know,
- 39:53Speaker 2: I know it sound I sound like I'm exaggerating, and
- 39:56Speaker 2: perhaps I am. But at the end of the day,
- 39:59Speaker 2: I was born into a middle class family. Have you
- 40:04Speaker 2: no empathy, mon I have chili sauce in my handbag.
- 40:09Speaker 1: Orange. Let us not be burdened fall out of a
- 40:12Speaker 1: coconut tree.
- 40:13Speaker 2: Let us not be burdened by what has not been
- 40:15Speaker 2: orange and proceed proceeded unburdened by those who do not
- 40:20Speaker 2: season their food. The power in the glory forever and ever.
- 40:26Speaker 1: And women.
- 40:28Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm gonna be really blunt about this because I'm
- 40:32Speaker 4: tired of it. Right, every time we have a female
- 40:35Speaker 4: candidate on either side of the political events, we hear
- 40:37Speaker 4: this ship. So, in the spirit of minorities being able
- 40:44Speaker 4: to hand out racism's pass, here is your official misogyny
- 40:49Speaker 4: pass from from Honey Badger Radio.
- 40:52Speaker 2: Right.
- 40:53Speaker 4: You can vote however you want, whatever you think is right,
- 40:57Speaker 4: and whatever you think is going to take your country
- 41:00Speaker 4: forward and in the best pathway possible for as many
- 41:04Speaker 4: people as possible. And about being accused of must sluggy knees, right,
- 41:11Speaker 4: your knees are not soggy. You have not done anything wrong.
- 41:15Speaker 4: You have made a decision based on policy and ideas
- 41:18Speaker 4: and what is going to work and what is not
- 41:20Speaker 4: going to work in your opinion, And that's it. There's
- 41:23Speaker 4: your there's there's your past. If you need one, you
- 41:26Speaker 4: have it now. Because I'm I'm honestly, I'm honest to
- 41:30Speaker 4: god retired, just just retired from this. I can't take
- 41:35Speaker 4: it anymore. It's embarrassing to watch women run on their vagina.
- 41:43Speaker 4: You know, they get mad also, the mad yeah, well
- 41:47Speaker 4: you know, we we do kind of sit on it.
- 41:52Speaker 4: But I mean, like women, women get mad if if
- 41:55Speaker 4: men reduce them to to this in any other area
- 42:01Speaker 4: of life. Oh well, you know, you're you're a female
- 42:05Speaker 4: reproductive system with a person around it, and we have
- 42:08Speaker 4: to take that into consideration. If we're going to hire
- 42:11Speaker 4: you for this job, are you going to take time
- 42:12Speaker 4: off to have a baby? Can you handle the physical
- 42:15Speaker 4: end of it?
- 42:16Speaker 3: You know?
- 42:16Speaker 4: Blah blah blah. They get mad about that, even though
- 42:18Speaker 4: those questions are valid in many instances. They get mad
- 42:22Speaker 4: about that. But as soon as soon as you have
- 42:28Speaker 4: questions about their performance, well you just you just hate
- 42:32Speaker 4: me because I'm a woman. You know. Bullshit. Everybody hates
- 42:39Speaker 4: Kamala Harris, who hates her, and everybody distrusts Kamala Harris.
- 42:44Speaker 4: He distrusts her because she's a dip shit. She's never
- 42:49Speaker 4: been anything but a dipshit. She is a dipshit who
- 42:52Speaker 4: just happens to have a woman card. Just like in
- 42:57Speaker 4: a lot of ways, even though he was very well
- 43:00Speaker 4: spoken for a dip shit, Obama is a dipshit who
- 43:03Speaker 4: just happens to have more racism's card. Oh, if you
- 43:08Speaker 4: don't like this policy, If you don't like this, kumbaya.
- 43:11Speaker 4: If you don't like this, everybody gets the same thing.
- 43:15Speaker 4: Everybody gets a trophy. Everybody gets You know, we're going
- 43:18Speaker 4: to order you to buy the thing that you don't
- 43:21Speaker 4: have and can't afford, and that's going to solve your
- 43:23Speaker 4: poverty problem. Dip shittary, you know it's because you don't
- 43:28Speaker 4: like black people. No, we don't. We know that telling
- 43:32Speaker 4: people to spend money they don't have doesn't solve their poverty.
- 43:36Speaker 4: We know that policy that doesn't address the problem doesn't
- 43:42Speaker 4: solve the problem. And there isn't some outside political opinion
- 43:50Speaker 4: about people getting along with other people, social issues and
- 43:54Speaker 4: attitudes and so on that you can substitute for if
- 43:58Speaker 4: we do this, are things going to get better? Is
- 44:02Speaker 4: it going to have negative consequences? Will people suffer because
- 44:06Speaker 4: of it? Will people get what you're promising they're going
- 44:10Speaker 4: to get out of it? Is it going to cost
- 44:12Speaker 4: a lot of money for nothing? You know there's you
- 44:15Speaker 4: can't substitute social ideas for that. You can't substitute attitude
- 44:22Speaker 4: for actuality it doesn't work. You know this this this
- 44:27Speaker 4: dog bites everybody, but he's so cute, let's put him anyway. No,
- 44:31Speaker 4: that's not a good idea. You're still going to get
- 44:34Speaker 4: bit And it's not because you're not a dog lover, right,
- 44:38Speaker 4: it's because the dog is not a people lover. If
- 44:41Speaker 4: you reach out for it knowing that you're an idiot.
- 44:48Speaker 4: Kabla Harris is not an accountability lover. She changes who
- 44:55Speaker 4: she is every five minutes. Sticks your finger up into
- 44:58Speaker 4: the breeze, you know, licks at sticks set up into
- 45:00Speaker 4: the breeze, goes, Oh, it's blown from this direction. Okay,
- 45:02Speaker 4: Now that's who I am today. You can't have somebody
- 45:06Speaker 4: like that running your country. And you know, it would
- 45:12Speaker 4: be a lot easier to have this conversation if if
- 45:15Speaker 4: she was running against someone who had no flaws. But
- 45:18Speaker 4: we have human beings for candidates, and we have a
- 45:23Speaker 4: candidate that has a track record. Right, it's not all good,
- 45:28Speaker 4: it's not all bad, but it has some things that
- 45:31Speaker 4: are very important to the men's rights movement. In my opinion,
- 45:35Speaker 4: only one person, during pretty much my whole lifetime, has
- 45:42Speaker 4: fought for due process rights for men who are accused
- 45:46Speaker 4: of sexual misconduct or criminal behavior, and that was Donald Trump.
- 45:53Speaker 4: Kamala Harris didn't do that. She has done the opposite.
- 45:57Speaker 4: Her historical track record as a politicians as opposite. And yeah,
- 46:04Speaker 4: she was a prosecutor. She didn't build people houses. She
- 46:08Speaker 4: put people in jail. She put people in the big house, right, men, specifically, Yes,
- 46:15Speaker 4: she put women in the big house too, And for
- 46:17Speaker 4: the dumbest thing.
- 46:18Speaker 1: Right.
- 46:18Speaker 4: She jailed a woman for having a child with sickle
- 46:24Speaker 4: cell anemia. The child had sickle cell anemia and there
- 46:30Speaker 4: were times when the child was too sick to go
- 46:32Speaker 4: to school, and Kamala Harris jailed the mother for truancy. Now,
- 46:40Speaker 4: I don't have personal experience with sickle cell anemia, but
- 46:43Speaker 4: I do have personal experience with for being too sick
- 46:45Speaker 4: to go to school. Sometimes that's not something that the
- 46:48Speaker 4: parents get to decide. They can't like magically wave a
- 46:51Speaker 4: wand and say, okay, child, you will not be sick
- 46:54Speaker 4: today because it's the school day. You have to wait
- 46:56Speaker 4: to get sick until after school on Friday and then
- 46:59Speaker 4: you be better by Monday. It doesn't work that way.
- 47:04Speaker 4: She jailed a parent for caring for a child with
- 47:10Speaker 4: sickle cell anemia. So when she demands that you owe
- 47:17Speaker 4: her allegiance to some racial attitude and idea of who
- 47:23Speaker 4: should be who should be on your side, and whose
- 47:27Speaker 4: side you should be on, you just remember that she
- 47:30Speaker 4: had no compassion for that right and and dads, don't
- 47:37Speaker 4: think she'll go easier on you. She will be even
- 47:40Speaker 4: worse on fathers than she was on that mother. And uh,
- 47:48Speaker 4: you know that's that's another thing. No accountability for how
- 47:53Speaker 4: she treats people, No accountability for throwing zero tolerance into
- 47:58Speaker 4: a situation where the person that she's judging could not
- 48:04Speaker 4: have made a different decision. There wasn't a different decision
- 48:07Speaker 4: to make. So, yeah, your misogyny card or pass here
- 48:13Speaker 4: it is because uh, honestly, if the reason that that
- 48:19Speaker 4: she does all that stuff that people don't like is
- 48:21Speaker 4: because she's a woman, then being a woman disqualifies her.
- 48:27Speaker 4: If the reason that she can't support due process rights
- 48:32Speaker 4: for people accused of crimes and and she can't deal
- 48:37Speaker 4: with the reality of their circumstances is because she's a woman,
- 48:41Speaker 4: then being a woman disqualifies her from being the commander
- 48:45Speaker 4: in chief and the executive of the entire UH government
- 48:51Speaker 4: system and a and a check and a balance on
- 48:55Speaker 4: the judicial system, because that's how our government is supposed
- 48:58Speaker 4: to work. She can't do that job if being a
- 49:01Speaker 4: woman makes her incapable of dealing with the humanity that
- 49:07Speaker 4: exists within that system. Period.
- 49:10Speaker 2: Question the question often comes, are you ready for a
- 49:13Speaker 2: female president? And the answer is no, not because we
- 49:18Speaker 2: hate women, but because we love them far too fucking much.
- 49:23Speaker 4: Well, honestly, it's not are we ready for a woman president?
- 49:26Speaker 4: Are women ready to step up to the responsibility of president?
- 49:31Speaker 4: And this is something that I've been trying to get
- 49:33Speaker 4: across to people. If she cannot be accountable for how
- 49:37Speaker 4: she treats people, and in particular, how she treats men,
- 49:41Speaker 4: then she's not. It doesn't matter whether we're ready or not.
- 49:45Speaker 4: We could be totally ready for a woman president, but
- 49:48Speaker 4: this woman is not ready to be our president, no way.
- 49:54Speaker 1: I mean, she shouldn't have gotten as far as she has.
- 49:59Speaker 4: That's before we even get into the whether she's going
- 50:02Speaker 4: to send you or your sons or both to one.
- 50:07Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Mike, go ahead.
- 50:08Speaker 2: Yeah. We had a female prime minister, a very prominent one.
- 50:12Speaker 2: She she she existed for three terms, no less. Her
- 50:17Speaker 2: name was Margaret Hilda Roberts Thatcher and that that didn't
- 50:23Speaker 2: appease the feminists whatsoever. They were very rapidly against her
- 50:31Speaker 2: existence for her entire term, which it was sposed to
- 50:37Speaker 2: show you its feminists don't want a woman in charge.
- 50:40Speaker 2: They want a fucking communist in charge.
- 50:43Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, at the end of the day, they want
- 50:45Speaker 1: an authoritarian in charge. But if that authoritarian is a woman,
- 50:49Speaker 1: it's good for them because it's it's they're able to
- 50:52Speaker 1: evade accountability. And because we're going to be you know,
- 50:56Speaker 1: forgiving and permissive, and we're gonna overlook flaws, will leave
- 51:01Speaker 1: it overlook evil. We already overlook evil. Why do you
- 51:04Speaker 1: think I make it a point if I see, like
- 51:07Speaker 1: a you know, a news story of a woman doing
- 51:09Speaker 1: something evil, that I you know, deeply consider making that
- 51:13Speaker 1: a point because a lot of people need to realize
- 51:15Speaker 1: that women are totally capable of doing evil. But anyway,
- 51:20Speaker 1: we should move on to the next story. Let us
- 51:22Speaker 1: know if you guys think about this. In the comments,
- 51:23Speaker 1: I did get a super chat from Zarnx for five
- 51:26Speaker 1: dollars and he says, according to the Root magazine, I'm
- 51:29Speaker 1: the white people of black people because I'm straight. So
- 51:32Speaker 1: Harris can cope and see sunglasses smiley emoji. Thank you ZARENX.
- 51:37Speaker 1: Yes you are the white people of black people because
- 51:40Speaker 1: you are straight male and that's enough. Being black doesn't
- 51:44Speaker 1: protect you. Albernata retro gives a two dollars Canadian and
- 51:47Speaker 1: says she put a guy she knew was innocent on
- 51:50Speaker 1: Delite's row. Yes, Hannah addressed that, but thank you anyway.
- 51:54Speaker 1: Let us know what you guys think about this one
- 51:55Speaker 1: in the comments. It's time to move on to the
- 51:57Speaker 1: next story. I just thought this one was kind of weird,
- 52:00Speaker 1: so we have Let me just bring up the thing. So,
- 52:05Speaker 1: a gay man from Bangladesh identified as Monsour sought asylum
- 52:09Speaker 1: in the UK, but was rejected by a judge who
- 52:13Speaker 1: questioned his sexual orientation, stating Monsieur was not truly gay
- 52:17Speaker 1: but was trying to pass himself off as gay. This
- 52:20Speaker 1: decision was part of a broader issue highlighted by Metro,
- 52:24Speaker 1: where the UK's Home Office and its asylum process have
- 52:28Speaker 1: been criticized for a perceived culture of disbelief towards LGBTQ
- 52:33Speaker 1: plus asylum seekers. Monsour's case involved detailed scrutiny of his
- 52:38Speaker 1: personal life to prove his sexuality, reflecting the challenges many
- 52:43Speaker 1: face improving their orientation for asylum claims like what did
- 52:47Speaker 1: he have to do to prove that he was gay?
- 52:48Speaker 1: I wonder? Despite evidence and support from community groups, the
- 52:52Speaker 1: judge's ruling centered on a lack of sufficient documentary evidence
- 52:57Speaker 1: from before his asylum application, suggests his presentation of being
- 53:01Speaker 1: gay was manufactured. This case underscores the difficulties and discriminatory
- 53:06Speaker 1: practices within the asylum system. Also, he could have just
- 53:09Speaker 1: gotten on a boat and came in with all the
- 53:11Speaker 1: other migrats.
- 53:15Speaker 2: A memo broke privy to the small print. When it
- 53:18Speaker 2: comes to the absolute state of UK immigration. Don't try
- 53:22Speaker 2: to do it legally, bro Are you crazy? Of course,
- 53:26Speaker 2: you're gonna get scrutinized if you obey the law. What
- 53:30Speaker 2: you're supposed to do is turn up on the South
- 53:34Speaker 2: coast in a makeshift dinghy, bereft of any possbort or
- 53:38Speaker 2: other documents, and mysteriously handcuffed to a ten year old boy. Hey, presto,
- 53:45Speaker 2: you'll be given a four star accommodation and complimentary spending
- 53:49Speaker 2: money for the rest of your life. But but, but,
- 53:52Speaker 2: but but it's expensive to make it all the way
- 53:56Speaker 2: from Bangladesh to the north coast of France, and you
- 54:00Speaker 2: need another ten thousand euros to pay the human traffickers
- 54:03Speaker 2: to put you on the dinghy. Yeah well, yeah, that's
- 54:06Speaker 2: what the ten year old boy is for. You can
- 54:10Speaker 2: make a small fortune hitchhiking across the Middle East with
- 54:13Speaker 2: an underage sex slave in tow and by the time
- 54:16Speaker 2: you make it to Britain, just tell everyone he's your boyfriend.
- 54:22Speaker 2: Don't worry Habibi, he's eighteen. Don't worry about the dead eyed,
- 54:27Speaker 2: blank expression on his face, don't worry about all the
- 54:30Speaker 2: bleeding from all the anal fishes.
- 54:35Speaker 1: What are you?
- 54:35Speaker 2: Homophobic and racist? And the British government will go, We're
- 54:40Speaker 2: so sorry sir. Here let us flagulate ourselves in shame.
- 54:45Speaker 2: Carry on, We'll drive you in a limousine to Buckingham Palace.
- 54:50Speaker 2: You can live there. Fuck those straight white coats and
- 54:53Speaker 2: I mean literally, fuck King Charles in his big floppy
- 54:57Speaker 2: bat ears and we'll figure out how it's all his
- 55:01Speaker 2: fault somehow. Seriously, I don't think we're getting the full
- 55:06Speaker 2: story here. I think we might be getting nothing but
- 55:10Speaker 2: a bank of whoppers, not least because our source in
- 55:14Speaker 2: this case is the Metro, the Metro, which is a
- 55:18Speaker 2: woke rag as full of shit as any other woke
- 55:21Speaker 2: rag and and and they're always on the lookout for
- 55:25Speaker 2: stories that paint foreigners as victims or gay people as victims.
- 55:31Speaker 2: So this is twenty four carrot gold. As far as
- 55:35Speaker 2: they're concerned, it's it's a three hit combo. A gay
- 55:38Speaker 2: brown foreigner. He's our hero, now is it's only a
- 55:43Speaker 2: shame that he's not a lesbian. But if he was,
- 55:48Speaker 2: he could be, He could be, But they would they wouldn't,
- 55:52Speaker 2: They wouldn't have a story because a woman would get
- 55:57Speaker 2: into the country. Our government and media are steadfastly telling
- 56:01Speaker 2: us that all these refugees and asylum seekers are women
- 56:05Speaker 2: and children, and they'll take any opportunity to show us
- 56:09Speaker 2: a scrap of evidence of any woman being shunted out
- 56:15Speaker 2: of any country for any reason. But they can't because
- 56:18Speaker 2: it doesn't happen. It's not just here in the West
- 56:22Speaker 2: that we're ruled by pathetic simps who will do anything
- 56:26Speaker 2: to protect women. It's literally anywhere and everywhere. So yeah,
- 56:31Speaker 2: I don't know if this guy is legitimately gay or
- 56:36Speaker 2: legitimately Bangladeshi, or even if he's a real person who exists.
- 56:41Speaker 2: But this story is funny because it's emblematic of the
- 56:47Speaker 2: knotted mess of intersectional bullshit that has to be thrown
- 56:52Speaker 2: on a man like a gladiator's net before anyone will
- 56:56Speaker 2: even hypothetically offer him any simple a feet Are you foreign,
- 57:02Speaker 2: well you're not foreign enough. Are you gay, well you're
- 57:06Speaker 2: not gay enough?
- 57:07Speaker 1: From it? Suck that dick.
- 57:09Speaker 2: Are you a woman, well you're not woman enough. Get
- 57:14Speaker 2: get rid of that for a start, Get rid of
- 57:16Speaker 2: those Turn up in your gordius drag outfit, and and
- 57:23Speaker 2: see if you can break the law, preferably rape and
- 57:26Speaker 2: or stab at least three children. And then we'll see
- 57:29Speaker 2: if we can bring ourselves to treat you like a
- 57:31Speaker 2: first class citizen. Or you can just appeal to the
- 57:34Speaker 2: press and they'll and they'll write a bunch of lies
- 57:37Speaker 2: and post a bunch of images that make everyone go
- 57:40Speaker 2: fuck having laws and borders and ship it's it's it's
- 57:45Speaker 2: the meme. It's literally but this time is the meme
- 57:49Speaker 2: with a rainbow painted on it? Fascicle At this point,
- 57:54Speaker 2: how is anyone not sick of the sh Ah? That's true.
- 58:01Speaker 4: It just strikes me that if a guy was going
- 58:03Speaker 4: to pretend to be something to get into a foreign country.
- 58:08Speaker 4: The last thing he would choose would be gay. It
- 58:12Speaker 4: just even even now, even in the modern West, where
- 58:18Speaker 4: we have this in your face, you know, we're here,
- 58:23Speaker 4: we're queer, we're in your face, that kind of in
- 58:25Speaker 4: your face. You can't do anything to me for this
- 58:27Speaker 4: kind of attitude. It's reserved for women, and it's reserved
- 58:32Speaker 4: for men who have a flamboyant stereotype for for their sexuality.
- 58:42Speaker 4: If you, if you just are quietly gay and and
- 58:45Speaker 4: just everything else about you is pretty typical as as
- 58:49Speaker 4: part of the local population. But you happen to be gay.
- 58:53Speaker 4: It seems to actually piss people off that you're not
- 58:56Speaker 4: flamboyant and strange and unusual, and then they start making
- 59:02Speaker 4: all kinds of stupid assumptions that are not backed in
- 59:06Speaker 4: any kind of historical factor or experiences they've had or anything.
- 59:11Speaker 4: It's just, oh, well, you know, so you can't trust
- 59:14Speaker 4: the quiet ones, and blah blah blah, or it's fake.
- 59:17Speaker 4: He just says that. He just says that because he
- 59:20Speaker 4: gets sympathy, you know, and it's it's blowney. You just
- 59:24Speaker 4: are who you are, and as far as you know,
- 59:29Speaker 4: having to having to prove that if that was a woman,
- 59:34Speaker 4: nobody would be asking any questions, even if she came
- 59:37Speaker 4: from a country where women are not persecuted for being
- 59:41Speaker 4: gay but men are. All she would have to do
- 59:44Speaker 4: would come out and say, well, it's illegal to be
- 59:47Speaker 4: gay in this country, and I'm gay. You have to
- 59:49Speaker 4: let me in, and that would be it.
- 59:54Speaker 1: Is it illegal to be gay in Bangladesh? Is that
- 59:57Speaker 1: like A? I mean, I don't know.
- 59:59Speaker 4: I mean probably, I don't know what kind of I
- 1:00:01Speaker 4: don't what kind of laws they have in place. I
- 1:00:03Speaker 4: don't know.
- 1:00:03Speaker 1: Well, I do know that.
- 1:00:06Speaker 4: Legally speaking, they're they're pretty kind of centric. So it's
- 1:00:12Speaker 4: very possible that it's illegal to be gay just because
- 1:00:15Speaker 4: you're not living the traditional lifestyle. You're not dedicating yourself
- 1:00:21Speaker 4: to a woman, you're not popping out, you know, a
- 1:00:25Speaker 4: couple of kids or twenty or whatever and teaching them
- 1:00:30Speaker 4: to grow up and be good workers and so on.
- 1:00:33Speaker 4: So it is very possible.
- 1:00:37Speaker 2: As far as I know, the legacy of Mahammed Gandhi
- 1:00:42Speaker 2: is that not just that he helped the British to
- 1:00:49Speaker 2: move away after the Second World War and the British
- 1:00:53Speaker 2: had to move away anyway. But he was like, no,
- 1:00:56Speaker 2: you British have to move away, and we have to
- 1:00:59Speaker 2: have to this country into people who want to rule
- 1:01:02Speaker 2: various regions of the country. And shortly after that the
- 1:01:08Speaker 2: region we know west Pakistan and the region we then
- 1:01:11Speaker 2: knew as East Pakistan it became a thing. And shortly
- 1:01:18Speaker 2: after that people went, ah, well, we ought to make
- 1:01:23Speaker 2: West Pakistan, West Pakistan and East Pakistan different countries, and
- 1:01:28Speaker 2: so they did, and so West Pakistan became Pakistan and
- 1:01:31Speaker 2: East Pakistan became Bangladesh. So I think there's a large
- 1:01:35Speaker 2: contingency of Muslims, not just in Pakistan but also in Bangladesh.
- 1:01:41Speaker 4: And that makes it more likely that it's illegal.
- 1:01:44Speaker 1: Yeah, it's only illegal for.
- 1:01:47Speaker 4: Men, according to I Hope. I'm not going to pronounce
- 1:01:51Speaker 4: or pronounce your name wrong, but it looks like it's Bavia.
- 1:01:54Speaker 4: Aurora says, it's only illegal for men in Bangladesh. This
- 1:01:59Speaker 4: is something that's con done around the world.
- 1:02:01Speaker 2: Right.
- 1:02:01Speaker 4: Homosexuality where it's illegal is usually either only illegal for
- 1:02:08Speaker 4: men or only enforced against men. So even when it's
- 1:02:13Speaker 4: illegal for women to also be homosexual, it's men getting
- 1:02:18Speaker 4: a death penalty, whereas women might just get separated or
- 1:02:24Speaker 4: you know, watched over whatever, but nobody actually does anything
- 1:02:29Speaker 4: about it because most of the time laws against male
- 1:02:34Speaker 4: homosexuality are about enforcing the production of children, and you
- 1:02:42Speaker 4: can't You can force a man to produce children against
- 1:02:46Speaker 4: his will, but you really can't force him to be
- 1:02:51Speaker 4: a parent. And you can put women in a situation
- 1:02:55Speaker 4: where they will just they'll just parent because they don't
- 1:03:01Speaker 4: have the capacity to just turn around and walk away.
- 1:03:07Speaker 4: So there's there's a lot of men. Of course, women
- 1:03:09Speaker 4: their role as a parent doesn't involve bringing in the
- 1:03:13Speaker 4: resources and dedicating themselves as a worker for the family.
- 1:03:21Speaker 4: Richard Beier says, it's either pronounced senior supervisor or verification officer.
- 1:03:27Speaker 4: I like that.
- 1:03:30Speaker 1: All right, let us know you guys think about that
- 1:03:32Speaker 1: one in the comments. I just thought, like I said,
- 1:03:36Speaker 1: I thought it was just a really weird story. But
- 1:03:38Speaker 1: we're gonna move on to the last story. And this
- 1:03:42Speaker 1: is also a weird one. Kind of a slow news week.
- 1:03:44Speaker 1: I didn't see anything that really jumped out of me.
- 1:03:46Speaker 1: So you know, we're just working with what we have.
- 1:03:49Speaker 1: So a mother from Worcester, Worcester, Worcester, Worcester.
- 1:03:55Speaker 2: Okay, it's so funny that Worcester source has become so
- 1:03:59Speaker 2: famous sauce. Look, it occurred to me that most Americans,
- 1:04:10Speaker 2: the way that most Americans pronounce forward, you'll say forward, right, yeah,
- 1:04:17Speaker 2: because which makes sense because forward, it's saying forward, word
- 1:04:22Speaker 2: sounds a little bit dirpy, So most of you remove
- 1:04:25Speaker 2: the first R. You can do that with Worcester Worcester.
- 1:04:29Speaker 2: If you want to pronounce Worcester sauce, just say Worcestershire Worcester.
- 1:04:34Speaker 1: Okay, the worst. Okay.
- 1:04:36Speaker 2: This is why English people remove all the ours, and
- 1:04:38Speaker 2: it's why New England people remove all the ours, because
- 1:04:42Speaker 2: because it sounds so much less dirpy just to say Worcester.
- 1:04:45Speaker 1: Clam chadda, yeah, there you go, Yeah, get bring the
- 1:04:49Speaker 1: car around. There are a bunch of home os. Okay.
- 1:04:52Speaker 1: A mother from Worcester, Worster, Worcester. A mother from Worster
- 1:04:57Speaker 1: is urgent urging parents to reconsider giving out lollipops this Halloween,
- 1:05:04Speaker 1: following a distressing incident where her daughter choked on a
- 1:05:07Speaker 1: dip dip dab lollipop. The girl, after less than two
- 1:05:11Speaker 1: minutes with the lollipop in her mouth, experienced the top
- 1:05:14Speaker 1: part come off the stick lodging in her throat. This
- 1:05:17Speaker 1: led to a life threatening situation where her parents had
- 1:05:19Speaker 1: to perform emergency measures, including the Heimlich maneuver, before rushing
- 1:05:23Speaker 1: her to the hospital. Although the immediate danger was averted,
- 1:05:26Speaker 1: the lollipop piece remains lodged, necessitating further medical checks to
- 1:05:31Speaker 1: prevent infection. This incident has led the mother to advocate
- 1:05:34Speaker 1: for a ban on all lollipops this Halloween, highlighting the
- 1:05:38Speaker 1: potential dangers of such suites. She shared a story on
- 1:05:41Speaker 1: social media urging caution about the types of sweets distributed
- 1:05:44Speaker 1: or consumed during the holiday. This case is now adding
- 1:05:48Speaker 1: to a broader discussion on child safety during Halloween, with
- 1:05:52Speaker 1: some parents and communities reevaluating traditional treats due to safety concerns.
- 1:05:58Speaker 1: So ban pops, guys.
- 1:06:01Speaker 4: This is a rough one. So you know, when when
- 1:06:04Speaker 4: we were kids, gen X or kids, we went out
- 1:06:08Speaker 4: trick or treating unsupervised after after a certain age, and uh,
- 1:06:14Speaker 4: by unsupervised, I mean there was not a parent with
- 1:06:17Speaker 4: the children. You would see kids walking up and down
- 1:06:19Speaker 4: the street with no parents with them, and it's it
- 1:06:22Speaker 4: was common enough that if you look at popular media
- 1:06:25Speaker 4: from up to the nineties, up to the nineteen nineties,
- 1:06:30Speaker 4: it would portray kids trick or treating without their parents
- 1:06:33Speaker 4: with them, and all of a sudden, by the time
- 1:06:36Speaker 4: my kids were little, that that was not a thing anymore.
- 1:06:39Speaker 4: You you went with your kids, you didn't send them out.
- 1:06:41Speaker 4: And I, you know, I lived in Dayton by that time,
- 1:06:44Speaker 4: so I wouldn't have sent my kids out unsupervised anyway.
- 1:06:49Speaker 4: But there's there's been the candy debate and the fearmongering
- 1:06:55Speaker 4: around candy for trick or treat and all that for decades.
- 1:07:00Speaker 4: When we were kids, it was the urban legend.
- 1:07:03Speaker 1: Of the lad.
- 1:07:05Speaker 4: The razor blades in the candy, and that resulted in
- 1:07:10Speaker 4: a lot of local hospitals actually dedicate an X ray
- 1:07:13Speaker 4: machine on Trick or Treat night in their area. You
- 1:07:17Speaker 4: can bring your candy in and have it x ray
- 1:07:19Speaker 4: because moms here something like that, and it it gets
- 1:07:23Speaker 4: stuck in your head. It's like you just can't get
- 1:07:26Speaker 4: that idea out of your head. And even if it
- 1:07:30Speaker 4: sounds ridiculous, even if you don't believe any such thing
- 1:07:33Speaker 4: could possibly happen, you still can't refrain from worrying about it.
- 1:07:39Speaker 1: Right.
- 1:07:39Speaker 4: Uh, there's a easy way to deal with that. You
- 1:07:42Speaker 4: cut up the candy. If you're really that worried you
- 1:07:45Speaker 4: cut up the candy. Well, then there was the oh
- 1:07:47Speaker 4: they're poisoning the candy. Uh, you know, And it's it's
- 1:07:51Speaker 4: always just a thing of this fun activity for children
- 1:07:55Speaker 4: is not allowed to be fun. Local churches do alternatives
- 1:07:59Speaker 4: to or treat night. They talk about how trick or
- 1:08:03Speaker 4: treat is originally a pagan holiday and or a pagan activity,
- 1:08:09Speaker 4: and it goes it has pagan roots and all that stuff,
- 1:08:12Speaker 4: you know, not not to confuse it with All Saints Day,
- 1:08:15Speaker 4: which is totally not rooted in paganism in any way,
- 1:08:19Speaker 4: shape or form. Right, But the fact is that there's
- 1:08:25Speaker 4: always been throughout our whole lives as as gen xers,
- 1:08:29Speaker 4: there's always been somebody trying to take the fun out
- 1:08:34Speaker 4: of Halloween. Now, is it dangerous if the top comes
- 1:08:39Speaker 4: off a sucker? Absolutely? And and yeah, this kid went
- 1:08:43Speaker 4: through something that was awful and could have killed her.
- 1:08:47Speaker 4: And that can happen with anything that you eat if
- 1:08:50Speaker 4: you're not careful. When you read parenting magazines as a
- 1:08:55Speaker 4: as a young parent and stuff like that, you learn
- 1:08:58Speaker 4: that when your kids start getting old and enough to
- 1:09:00Speaker 4: eat little bits of real food, that's not mashed up,
- 1:09:03Speaker 4: that you should cut it into very small pieces, and
- 1:09:05Speaker 4: none of them should be round because it fits in
- 1:09:08Speaker 4: the throat. If your kid has a tendency to choke,
- 1:09:11Speaker 4: that's then you have to be careful about that. This
- 1:09:15Speaker 4: is a fluke. This is a freak accident. And to
- 1:09:18Speaker 4: say that it's going to happen over and over again
- 1:09:20Speaker 4: to kids is dumb. And to say that something should
- 1:09:24Speaker 4: be banned is dumb. Should parents be careful and should
- 1:09:28Speaker 4: parents keep track of their little kids when they're eating candy, Absolutely,
- 1:09:35Speaker 4: but panicking over something like this and demanding a community
- 1:09:40Speaker 4: wide panic is dumb. Is it something that people should
- 1:09:44Speaker 4: know about, Hey, this can happen. You got to be careful,
- 1:09:46Speaker 4: watch out for your kid. Don't let them eat suckers
- 1:09:48Speaker 4: when they're not in a room with you, especially if
- 1:09:50Speaker 4: they're really little. But you know, don't don't just assume
- 1:09:55Speaker 4: that every sucker you give your child is going to
- 1:09:58Speaker 4: have this happen. It's unusual for it to come off
- 1:10:01Speaker 4: the way they're made. They're there. They usually not only
- 1:10:04Speaker 4: stick to the stick, but uh, you can't even get
- 1:10:09Speaker 4: all the crunchy parts off the stick when you eat
- 1:10:10Speaker 4: a sucker so unless it's unless it's something that I
- 1:10:18Speaker 4: know some of those like powder pressed powder suckers can
- 1:10:21Speaker 4: come off the stick. You really shouldn't have to worry
- 1:10:24Speaker 4: about that. If it's filled, maybe, but but for the
- 1:10:28Speaker 4: most part, parents shouldn't freak out about something like that. Hell,
- 1:10:32Speaker 4: my parents used to actually give out. They had a
- 1:10:35Speaker 4: they had a bushel of apples, and they had candy,
- 1:10:39Speaker 4: and kids could pick what they wanted. And there were
- 1:10:41Speaker 4: a lot of kids that picked apples because they didn't
- 1:10:43Speaker 4: get fresh fruit at home, so you know, and kids
- 1:10:46Speaker 4: that pick candy were not shamed for it or anything
- 1:10:48Speaker 4: like that. It was more about giving kids choices and
- 1:10:53Speaker 4: being somebody in the neighborhood that gave out, didn't give
- 1:10:56Speaker 4: out exactly the same thing that everybody else gave out.
- 1:11:00Speaker 4: There were some some of the ladies in my neighborhood
- 1:11:03Speaker 4: used to give out like little there's these little games
- 1:11:07Speaker 4: and stuff that you can get in vending machines for
- 1:11:10Speaker 4: like a quarter that you know, it's one of those
- 1:11:13Speaker 4: you push a button and it moves a little ball
- 1:11:15Speaker 4: through a maze or something like that. And there was
- 1:11:17Speaker 4: one lady that always gave those out, and she she
- 1:11:21Speaker 4: bypassed the whole candy issue by giving out something that
- 1:11:24Speaker 4: kids would enjoy playing with. I don't even know if
- 1:11:27Speaker 4: kids today would like that kind of thing, right, And
- 1:11:29Speaker 4: then we had the weirdo that gave out stick tracks
- 1:11:31Speaker 4: that told us all we were going to hell for
- 1:11:33Speaker 4: going trick or treat and we had to ask our
- 1:11:36Speaker 4: parents about you know, what's what's ball worship? And you know,
- 1:11:40Speaker 4: we always pronounced it bail and had to had all
- 1:11:43Speaker 4: kinds of questions and stuff. And mom was like, this
- 1:11:46Speaker 4: person that gave out these is a little bit off
- 1:11:48Speaker 4: their rocker and you don't have to worry about it.
- 1:11:50Speaker 4: None of it's true. And that was the end of that.
- 1:11:54Speaker 4: But this this is bullshit in my opinion. This is
- 1:11:58Speaker 4: panic mongering and it's very fait and in behavior. Yeah,
- 1:12:01Speaker 4: and it's not something that it's it's hitting a thumbtack
- 1:12:06Speaker 4: with a sledgehammer.
- 1:12:09Speaker 2: And and yeah, I'm enjoying the theme of how the
- 1:12:13Speaker 2: fuck is this news? Yeah? Yeah, we're doing this week
- 1:12:18Speaker 2: specifically from the UK. It's like we used to do
- 1:12:20Speaker 2: unentailed features stream before he took everything down. It's it's
- 1:12:24Speaker 2: nice to take a break from all the heavy ship
- 1:12:27Speaker 2: and just laugh at nonsense that has no reason to
- 1:12:30Speaker 2: exist as news. The obvious point, as Hens just portrayed
- 1:12:35Speaker 2: in this story is we are we get a band
- 1:12:38Speaker 2: Weather's Original and and mint humbugs or whatever.
- 1:12:43Speaker 1: Alan's a mint humbug? I've never that's a British thing,
- 1:12:46Speaker 1: for sure.
- 1:12:47Speaker 2: It's like, you know what Weather's Original is? Right?
- 1:12:50Speaker 1: Were these originals? Are? They like the fucking multi multy.
- 1:12:58Speaker 4: They're hard candy.
- 1:13:01Speaker 2: It's like the thing you get on top of a lollipop,
- 1:13:03Speaker 2: but without the lollipop stick. Yeah, it's boiled sweets that
- 1:13:08Speaker 2: by design are not even attached to lollipop sticks in
- 1:13:12Speaker 2: the first place. Grandparents have been shoveling that ship down
- 1:13:16Speaker 2: kids' faces for centuries, and it's never been a problem
- 1:13:20Speaker 2: because most kids aren't retarded enough to try swallowing them.
- 1:13:25Speaker 4: I remember that bowl of mixed candy that was always
- 1:13:28Speaker 4: on old people's coffee tables, little strawberry thing that That's
- 1:13:32Speaker 4: what I'm talking about.
- 1:13:33Speaker 2: Yeah, and kids, and kids would would put them in
- 1:13:36Speaker 2: their mouths and not even try swallowing them. Why would
- 1:13:40Speaker 2: they They're incentivized to keep them in their mouths while
- 1:13:43Speaker 2: they suck on the delicious sugar. And I said but
- 1:13:47Speaker 2: most kids are indeed retarded enough to try swallowing something
- 1:13:51Speaker 2: like a penny or a marble or the cap from
- 1:13:54Speaker 2: a toothpaste tube at some point during the earliest years
- 1:13:59Speaker 2: of their re hardation. I, according to my parents, I
- 1:14:04Speaker 2: did at some point swallow a penny. I'm sure most
- 1:14:07Speaker 2: of us did. That's the point. But they hardly ever
- 1:14:10Speaker 2: die from it. I don't know how miraculous that is.
- 1:14:14Speaker 2: Maybe God is looking out for these kids who swallow
- 1:14:18Speaker 2: something that might kill them, while God curiously looks the
- 1:14:23Speaker 2: other way while other kids die from leukemia. I don't
- 1:14:26Speaker 2: I don't know what's going on. Maybe maybe maybe kids
- 1:14:29Speaker 2: have illuciary mechanisms for dealing with these things, like they're
- 1:14:34Speaker 2: instinctively able to hold their breath underwater and whatnot. And
- 1:14:40Speaker 2: sure enough, this kid didn't die either. She just learned
- 1:14:46Speaker 2: the lesson that most kids learn at some point, don't
- 1:14:50Speaker 2: swallow anything too big to swallow, and parents, in turn
- 1:14:55Speaker 2: learn the lesson to keep small, hard objects away from children.
- 1:15:00Speaker 2: Some confectioners even had the bright idea of further avoiding
- 1:15:06Speaker 2: the problem by attaching their hard boiled candy to a
- 1:15:11Speaker 2: stick to make sure this doesn't happen. Evidently it's not
- 1:15:16Speaker 2: that difficult, but apparently it is that difficult for this
- 1:15:19Speaker 2: dopey cunt. And so she's banning the candy that's attached
- 1:15:25Speaker 2: to sticks, but not the candy that's not attached to sticks.
- 1:15:30Speaker 2: How the fact does that make sense. It's like banning
- 1:15:34Speaker 2: bleached bottles that have childproof caps, yet continuing to leave
- 1:15:40Speaker 2: glasses of bleach lying willy nilly around the house. What
- 1:15:46Speaker 2: else is she gonna do. Ban people from wearing buttons
- 1:15:51Speaker 2: lest one of them gets attached and find it finds
- 1:15:54Speaker 2: itself in the mouth of some retarded child. Ban people
- 1:15:59Speaker 2: from having eyeballs in case a child tries to suck
- 1:16:03Speaker 2: them out and swallow them. Ban children from having teeth
- 1:16:09Speaker 2: in case they swallow those teeth while they fall out. Yeah, yeah,
- 1:16:15Speaker 2: we're you gonna do. We're gonna just bash out all
- 1:16:18Speaker 2: the teeth out of your child's face. That's that's the
- 1:16:21Speaker 2: safe thing to do. Or maybe you could just take
- 1:16:25Speaker 2: care of your fucking child. It's like, it's like the
- 1:16:29Speaker 2: video game argument or the pawn argument or the gun argument.
- 1:16:33Speaker 2: Just don't leave your child with a fucking gun. If
- 1:16:39Speaker 2: you're that worried about it, just don't hand a loaded
- 1:16:43Speaker 2: colashner cough to a to a toddler. Is is that
- 1:16:48Speaker 2: really more difficult than banning everyone from concealed carrying a
- 1:16:53Speaker 2: goddamn lollipop? No, not if you're a rancid, authoritarian cunt
- 1:17:00Speaker 2: who offloads all their accountability onto the rest of the
- 1:17:04Speaker 2: world because you never managed to grow up from the
- 1:17:08Speaker 2: dirt eating child you always were. It's a hilarious non
- 1:17:13Speaker 2: story that's just here to amuse it. But do you
- 1:17:18Speaker 2: like how I still manage to turn it into an
- 1:17:20Speaker 2: important political point, the kind that we always talk about
- 1:17:24Speaker 2: every week. How women are always fucking up the party
- 1:17:28Speaker 2: for everyone else because men treat them like children. Just
- 1:17:33Speaker 2: goes to show you all roads lead. It's romantic chivalry. Ah,
- 1:17:40Speaker 2: it's funny.
- 1:17:41Speaker 4: How that was.
- 1:17:45Speaker 1: All right? I think, I mean, there's not much else
- 1:17:47Speaker 1: to say. I think you guys basically knocked it out
- 1:17:50Speaker 1: right there. But I thought it was, you know, because
- 1:17:52Speaker 1: it's tis the season. Whenever Halloween comes around, there's gotta
- 1:17:56Speaker 1: be some story that really puts the scare in well,
- 1:18:01Speaker 1: essentially like irresponsible parents everywhere. So yeah, just the you know,
- 1:18:07Speaker 1: be good to your kids and it'll probably be okay,
- 1:18:11Speaker 1: all right, So we're gonna wrap up the show there
- 1:18:14Speaker 1: and head into the Patron Show and look at this article.
- 1:18:18Speaker 1: We might just end up talking about other stuff while
- 1:18:20Speaker 1: we're at it. From Political entitled opinion Democrats problem with
- 1:18:25Speaker 1: male voters isn't complicated. Male grievances can be harnessed by
- 1:18:30Speaker 1: reactionary forces, but there's a simple way to prevent that,
- 1:18:35Speaker 1: which seems to suggest that the issue is not that
- 1:18:38Speaker 1: there might be a reason why these men have these problems,
- 1:18:41Speaker 1: but that they're they're the problems they're having are a
- 1:18:45Speaker 1: problem for the Democrats or women more broadly, because that's
- 1:18:50Speaker 1: usually what this always comes down to. Anyway, if you
- 1:18:51Speaker 1: want to join us on that, please consider becoming a
- 1:18:56Speaker 1: badger yourself, like going to feedbadger dot com and starting
- 1:18:59Speaker 1: a monthly so description. Five bucks of mouths will get
- 1:19:01Speaker 1: you into our discord where you'll be able to look
- 1:19:04Speaker 1: at all the additional content, and if you give a
- 1:19:05Speaker 1: higher levels, you can even be a part of the conversation.
- 1:19:07Speaker 1: We also have lots of things going on within that.
- 1:19:10Speaker 1: Allison's got her writer's room and they meet often and discuss,
