Honor and Remember Flag at NASCAR
00:00:00
Speaker
The Honor and Remember Flag is a nationally recognized symbol that sends a message of appreciation for the sacrifice made by our fallen heroes and their families.

Ironically coupled with the need to be left alone.
00:00:43
Speaker
A desire to be treated the same as everyone else.

Amateur Nation Podcast Overview
00:01:42
Speaker
Warning, the podcast you are about to hear is often based on true events and people.
00:01:48
Speaker
It chronicles the dialogue and actions of random, anonymous, obnoxious, self-entitled, unintelligent, self-centered idiots, attention whores, ignoramuses, dolts, clods, nimrods, douches, weirdos, drama queens, overly sensitive crybabies, and people who think they are better, more important, and special than the rest of us.
00:02:06
Speaker
In one word, amateurs.
00:02:08
Speaker
Amateurs.
00:02:10
Speaker
It's Amateur Nation with Lou Santini.
00:02:12
Speaker
He's a comedian.
00:02:13
Speaker
They don't know how to do anything.
00:02:16
Speaker
We call attention to and call out the amateurs.
00:02:19
Speaker
The people who are doing life wrong.
00:02:21
Speaker
The speed bumps of life.
00:02:23
Speaker
The people that are in your way every day.
00:02:26
Speaker
The unintelligent, obnoxious, attention-whoring, self-entitled drama queen victim types who chip away at the moments of your life due to no self-awareness, common sense, manners, or social skills and are disturbing the flow of the pros.
00:02:39
Speaker
Hi, Mom.

Amateur Nation.
00:02:41
Speaker
It's not just a podcast.

It's a movement.
00:02:43
Speaker
Amateurs usually don't make it.
00:02:44
Speaker
Well, hey, I'm on the fifth season and I've got a book on Amazon that tries to wake
Listener Shoutouts
00:02:49
Speaker
them up.
00:02:49
Speaker
They don't want to listen.
00:02:50
Speaker
They'd rather cower in their safe spaces, sucking their thumbs.
00:02:54
Speaker
In the meantime, pros march on.
00:02:57
Speaker
This is episode 229, Boycott Woke Companies.

Gun Control and Logic Discussion
00:03:52
Speaker
Here's your post of the week by Scott Gere on Facebook.
00:03:56
Speaker
As he put it, here's some sensible gun logic.
00:04:00
Speaker
And this show is all about common sense and logic.
00:04:02
Speaker
Here's the post.
00:04:04
Speaker
Number one, 11 teens die each day because of texting while driving.
00:04:11
Speaker
Maybe it's time to raise the age of smartphone ownership to 21.
00:04:15
Speaker
Number two, if gun control laws actually worked, Chicago would be Mayberry, USA.
00:04:22
Speaker
Number three, the Second Amendment makes more women equal than the entire feminist movement.
00:04:28
Speaker
Number four, legal gun owners have 300 million guns and probably a trillion rounds of ammo.
00:04:35
Speaker
Seriously, folks, if we were the problem, you'd know about it.
00:04:39
Speaker
Number five, when JFK was killed, nobody blamed the rifle.
00:04:43
Speaker
Number six, the National Rifle Association murders zero people and receives nothing in government funds.
00:04:50
Speaker
Planned Parenthood kills 350,000 babies every year and receives $500 million in tax dollars annually.
00:04:58
Speaker
Number seven,
00:05:00
Speaker
I will have less of a problem with vigorous background checks for firearms purchasers when and if the government will apply the same standard to immigration, voter ID, and candidates running for office.
00:05:12
Speaker
8.
00:05:12
Speaker
Folks keep talking about another civil war.
00:05:14
Speaker
One side knows how to shoot and probably has a trillion rounds.
00:05:18
Speaker
The other side has crying closets and is confused about which bathroom to use.
00:05:22
Speaker
How do you think that would work out?
00:05:24
Speaker
And number nine, a man who left 300,000 guns for the Taliban is lecturing folks on gun control.
Critique of Corporate Pride Initiatives
00:05:32
Speaker
Here's what's happening in Amateur Nation.
00:05:34
Speaker
Perhaps you had better start from the beginning.
00:05:36
Speaker
Step one.
00:05:37
Speaker
Topic number one.
00:05:40
Speaker
It's time for This Week in Boycotts.
00:05:43
Speaker
Bud Light sales down, what, 28% as of this episode?
00:05:47
Speaker
The North Face stock down almost 4%.
00:05:50
Speaker
Adidas is taking financial hits thanks to having men posing in women's one-piece bathing suits.
00:05:55
Speaker
Chick-fil-A is facing a backlash over their DEI, that is diversity, equity, and inclusion crap.
00:06:02
Speaker
Target is getting their ass kicked with their stock losing $10 billion and counting in a week in value.
00:06:10
Speaker
Department store chain Kohl's also has Pride Month merchandise, including a Baby Sonoma Community Pride bodysuit set designed for three-month, six-month, and nine-month-old kids, and that has their stock dropping.
00:06:23
Speaker
Sidebar, why do Target and Kohl's feel that adults need validation from babies and kids?
00:06:31
Speaker
Why would you want to associate sexuality with underage kids, especially babies?
00:06:39
Speaker
In today's world, we celebrate our differences.
00:06:41
Speaker
Yeah, and that's the problem.
00:06:43
Speaker
Tolerating and accepting differences, good.
00:06:47
Speaker
Celebrating differences, bad.
00:06:49
Speaker
Huge time suck.
Rant on Celebrating Differences
00:06:51
Speaker
Pointless and divisive.
00:06:54
Speaker
Pro Nation, let's just say you and your friend go out for a pizza.
00:07:00
Speaker
You want pepperoni.
00:07:02
Speaker
Your friend wants their vegan gluten-free disk of sadness pizza.
00:07:06
Speaker
Yay, plans.
00:07:07
Speaker
But you're friends and you pick your battles.
00:07:09
Speaker
So get this, you each get your own pizza and have a nice lunch together.
00:07:16
Speaker
Maybe you make fun of their choice and when you do, your friend tells you to go fuck yourself and then you continue with your friendly lunch.
00:07:23
Speaker
In Amateur Nation, if you're getting pizza with an over-emotional feelings-fueled amateur, they not only get their vegan gluten-free punishment, they scream at you for getting pepperoni, cry when you say you don't like vegan pizza, make you watch them eat that happiness-delete pizza, and you must cheer them on while they eat it.
00:07:45
Speaker
Or else you're a dick.
00:07:46
Speaker
And they'll tell all your friends you were mean, and then tell your boss and you lose your job.
00:07:50
Speaker
Ha ha ha ha ha!
00:07:53
Speaker
Oh, he's serious.
00:07:54
Speaker
Why can't people just have differences?
00:07:57
Speaker
Be different.
00:07:59
Speaker
Hang with those that get you and respect those that don't.
00:08:03
Speaker
But the world must celebrate you.
00:08:06
Speaker
What makes you so fucking special?
00:08:09
Speaker
Your feelings?
00:08:10
Speaker
Your pronouns?
00:08:11
Speaker
What you're pretending to be today?
00:08:14
Speaker
Eat shit.
00:08:16
Speaker
And I do try to look at the real world, Pro Nation, from the amateur nation point of view.
00:08:21
Speaker
Let's say you're an atheistic, overweight, trans person of color.
00:08:25
Speaker
Yeah, you're definitely different.
00:08:28
Speaker
Then you throw in your precious anxiety and you've got yourself one special person.
00:08:32
Speaker
And as that atheistic fat trans person of color surrounded by religious conservative regular looking
LGBTQ+ Representation Debate
00:08:38
Speaker
folks in the movies, TV and sports that don't cater to your less than 1% of the population may indeed seem like there's no place for you.
00:08:47
Speaker
I am different.
00:08:49
Speaker
I am proud of it.
00:08:50
Speaker
Get used to it.
00:08:52
Speaker
So as an amateur, you have two choices.
00:08:55
Speaker
Choose your battles and adapt to society, which is run by a law-abiding, actually tolerant majority that will only judge you based on your actions, work ethic, abilities, and how you conduct yourself in public with common sense, good manners, and social skills.
00:09:11
Speaker
Or, or, keep doing what you're doing, find your niche, your clique, your group, the people who do indeed get you, and... Shut the fuck up!
00:09:22
Speaker
You don't get a day, a week, a month, a parade of celebrations just because you chose to be on the fringe of society.
00:09:31
Speaker
I respect that you chose to not be average in certain aspects, but you don't get special treatment, consideration, and advantages because of odd, or in many cases, unconventional choices.
00:09:43
Speaker
I admire your honesty.
00:09:44
Speaker
Hell, I like you.
00:09:45
Speaker
You can come over to my house and fuck my sister.
00:09:48
Speaker
Does being an atheistic fat trans person of color mean you're a bad person?
00:09:52
Speaker
Only if you act like it.
00:09:54
Speaker
Mind your own business?
00:09:55
Speaker
Pay your unjust taxes like the rest of us?
00:09:58
Speaker
Don't expect a handout?
00:10:00
Speaker
Work hard?
00:10:01
Speaker
Have good moral fiber and character?
00:10:02
Speaker
Want to be judged on your performance rather than the color of your skin of which you had no control?
00:10:08
Speaker
Then Pro Nation won't have a problem with you.
00:10:11
Speaker
And now, in addition to men infiltrating women's sports, men's sports are under attack.

Welcome to satirical LGBTQ plus group called the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence at the team's annual Pride Night.
00:10:29
Speaker
This article from Forbes.com.
00:10:33
Speaker
The Los Angeles Dodgers recently issued an apology and reversed its decision to revoke an invitation to the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, a charity that uses religious-themed drag from its Pride Night after facing backlash from local politicians and other groups set to appear at the event, some of whom threatened to pull out if the Sisters weren't included.
00:10:58
Speaker
The Dodgers will host its 10th annual Pride Night, June 16th, featuring activities before and after the team plays the San Francisco Giants and honors LGBTQ organizations and advocates.
00:11:11
Speaker
The Los Angeles chapter of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, a charity that raises money for LGBTQ causes,
00:11:19
Speaker
and performs in drag dressed as nuns, accepted the Dodgers' re-invitation, and will receive the Community Hero Award in honor of their community service and promotion of human rights.
Dodgers and Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence Controversy
00:11:36
Speaker
The Dodgers previously announced it would remove the Sisters from its honorees, citing the strong feelings of people who have been offended by the Sisters' inclusion.
00:11:48
Speaker
The conservative Catholic advocacy group Catholic Vote, among the fiercest critics of the sisters, accused the group of anti-Catholic hate for dressing in sexualized perversions of religious garb and demanded that the Dodgers rescind their honor, suggesting that all baseball teams cancel Pride events.
00:12:11
Speaker
Senator Marco Rubio also called for the sisters to be removed from the event, criticizing its members as men who dress in lewd imitation of Roman Catholic nuns.
00:12:22
Speaker
The decision to remove the sisters sparked fierce criticism from other groups affiliated with Pride Night, including LA Pride, which announced it would no longer participate in the Dodgers' events.
00:12:34
Speaker
Okay, so?
00:12:36
Speaker
Go fuck yourself.
00:12:37
Speaker
The American Civil Liberties Union of Southern California also pulled out of the Dodgers' Pride Night, and the Los Angeles LGBT Center demanded the event be canceled unless the organization re-invites the sisters.
00:12:51
Speaker
Yeah, and... Go to hell!
00:12:54
Speaker
Good riddance!
00:12:56
Speaker
The article says the San Francisco Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence chapter voiced its offense and outrage at the removal of the Los Angeles chapter on Thursday, alleging that the Dodgers capitulated in response to hateful and misleading information from people outside their community.
00:13:15
Speaker
Oh no, not offense and outrage.
00:13:18
Speaker
I don't care!
00:13:20
Speaker
The article concludes by saying the Dodgers pledged to work with our LGBTQ plus partners to better educate ourselves and credited thoughtful feedback from our diverse communities for their decision to re-invite the sisters.
00:13:37
Speaker
Okay, Louisa May, go play your ballerina ball.
00:13:40
Speaker
Just leave your peanuts in a bucket.
00:13:42
Speaker
In other words, you cave to a small group.
00:13:45
Speaker
that normally doesn't attend nor supports your business.
00:13:49
Speaker
Maybe you're not getting a joke.
00:13:51
Speaker
We get to dress like girls and act like girls.
00:13:54
Speaker
It's funny.
00:13:55
Speaker
You know what's funny?
00:13:57
Speaker
None in this group of drag queens would dare
00:14:01
Speaker
Just walk into your home or your business and be able to make demands and steamroll you.
00:14:08
Speaker
But a huge organization like the Dodgers and Major League Baseball caves under woke pressure.
00:14:16
Speaker
Seems odd, no?
00:14:18
Speaker
Fun fact, the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence have raised more than $1 million for LGBTQ causes.
00:14:25
Speaker
Let's not start sucking each other's dick's fight yet.
00:14:28
Speaker
In San Francisco alone.
00:14:30
Speaker
in its first three decades of operation.
Modern Protest Against 'Woke' Companies
00:14:35
Speaker
Wow, that's almost $2,800 a month for 30 years.
00:14:40
Speaker
What a huge audience reach.
00:14:42
Speaker
Wait a minute, you're being sarcastic.
00:14:45
Speaker
Another fun fact, three-time luggage thief Sam Britton was the former Washington, D.C.
00:14:52
Speaker
chapter leader of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence.
00:14:57
Speaker
And we see what a quality human being he turned out to be.
00:15:00
Speaker
He's a sissy.
00:15:02
Speaker
By the way, gay men and women go to and do indeed watch baseball.
00:15:08
Speaker
And guess what?
00:15:09
Speaker
They're not excluded.
00:15:11
Speaker
Never have been.
00:15:13
Speaker
Attendees' sexuality was never an issue when you get your ticket ripped at the gate.
00:15:17
Speaker
The difference is, straight people don't enter Dodger Stadium singing, We love pussy!
00:15:21
Speaker
or Bring on the dick!
00:15:23
Speaker
You know, you guys ought to watch it.
00:15:25
Speaker
Making fun of people like that, you could hurt their feelings.
00:15:28
Speaker
Let me run a care check.
00:15:29
Speaker
Nope, not getting any readings on my carometer.
00:15:34
Speaker
Notice how everything woke is attacking institutions.
00:15:40
Speaker
Education.
00:15:43
Speaker
Beer.
00:15:44
Speaker
Women's sports.
00:15:47
Speaker
Men's sports.
00:15:49
Speaker
Religion.
00:15:52
Speaker
I have a solution to end this woke crap, and it will send a more powerful message to those companies that Pro Nation is now boycotting.
00:16:05
Speaker
Remember Disco Demolition Night?
00:16:08
Speaker
No?
00:16:08
Speaker
You're too young?
00:16:09
Speaker
Allow me.
00:16:11
Speaker
An article from EDM.com covered it best.
00:16:15
Speaker
On July 12th, 1979, a fun Major League Baseball promotional event quickly devolved into the most infamous and controversial event in disco history.
00:16:27
Speaker
In the late 1970s, dance-oriented disco was one of the most popular music genres in the United States.
00:16:33
Speaker
Films like Saturday Night Fever influenced the music scene while artists like the Bee Gees, ABBA, KC and the Sunshine Band and Donna Summer became repeated record plays for many.
00:16:44
Speaker
While disco provided the fun novel outlet and style of dress to many people, it sparked major backlash from fans of rock music.
00:16:52
Speaker
Critics at the time often feared that the rise of disco would quickly lead to a decay in rock after disco albums dominated the 21st Grammy Awards in 1978.
00:17:01
Speaker
Here's where it gets interesting.
00:17:04
Speaker
When Chicago's WDAI-FM switched from rock to disco...
00:17:09
Speaker
and DJ Steve Dahl got fired in 1978, the moves sparked a paradigm shift.
00:17:15
Speaker
Quickly hired at rival Chicago rock station WLUP and playing off the publicity surrounding his firing, Dahl created a mock organization called Insane Coho Lips consisting of his group of anti-disco listeners.
00:17:32
Speaker
After the Tigers-White Sox game at Comiskey Park was rained out and rescheduled as a two-night doubleheader on July 12, 1979, White Sox owner Bill Veek and his son, appointed Promotions Director Mike Veek, had bounced ideas about what the low attendance season would see for fans.
00:17:54
Speaker
While the Sox hosted a disco night two years prior, the idea of hosting an anti-disco promotion struck interest.
00:18:02
Speaker
Partnering with Dahl and his team at WLUP, Disco Demolition Night was promoted far and wide across Illinois, promoting to fans that anyone who brought a disco record to the ballpark would be admitted for $0.98 to watch the albums get blown up in between the doubleheader games.
00:18:23
Speaker
After weeks of promotion, the baseball team, Dahl, and the radio station weren't prepared for what transpired that night on the baseball field.
00:18:32
Speaker
The doubleheader ended up selling out at a capacity of 50,000 people with 20,000 disco-hating fans outside the ballpark who later stampeded the entrance.
00:18:44
Speaker
Boxes of disco records were overflowing, encouraging fans to bring their records to their seats.
00:18:50
Speaker
The first game was stopped several times after fans threw records, firecrackers, empty bottles, and lighters onto the field, while the stands were decorated with thousands of disco sucks banners and marijuana smoke.
00:19:04
Speaker
After the loss of the first game, Dahl took to the field to commence the explosion and kill off the many disco albums that were brought as sacrifice.
00:19:13
Speaker
Setting off the explosives, a large hole was torn into the field as remnants of thousands of disco records billowed into the air.
00:19:22
Speaker
The event took a turn for the worst as 5,000 to 7,000 fans rushed onto the field inciting a mass riot.
00:19:29
Speaker
Some climbed the giant foul poles, the batting cage was destroyed, bases were stolen, and a huge bonfire raged on the field.
00:19:36
Speaker
Chicago police arrived on site with full riot gear, dispersing the unruly fans and arresting 39 people for disorderly conduct.
00:19:44
Speaker
With the field completely destroyed, the White Sox were forced to forfeit to the Tigers.
00:19:50
Speaker
The days and weeks that followed included harsh news headlines and public criticism of the event.
00:19:55
Speaker
It was said that the debacle triggered a nationwide expression of anger towards disco music and its fan following.
00:20:03
Speaker
The popularity of disco music declined significantly in the years after the incident with record companies beginning to label new albums as dance music.
00:20:14
Speaker
Why did I bring up this story?
00:20:17
Speaker
We need another disco demolition night.
00:20:20
Speaker
This time destroying products made by woke companies.
00:20:27
Speaker
Why doesn't pro-nation in Los Angeles make a drag queen nun in effigy and put it on public display and say, throw holly water on it?
00:20:38
Speaker
Or pretend to preach the Bible to it?
00:20:41
Speaker
Or yes, blow it up.
00:20:43
Speaker
Easy answer.
00:20:44
Speaker
Pros have lives to live.
00:20:46
Speaker
We're busy, you know, working, raising families, making real contributions to society.
00:20:51
Speaker
Pros have less free time.
00:20:53
Speaker
But I will say this.
00:20:54
Speaker
It's time for pros to stop reacting to the actions of amateur nation.
00:21:00
Speaker
Stop playing defense and start going on offense.
00:21:04
Speaker
And now for step two.
00:21:06
Speaker
Topic number two.
Shaleen Rodriguez Incident Discussion
00:21:10
Speaker
From the people who brought you tolerance.
00:21:12
Speaker
From redstate.com, New York City professor gets axed from Hunter College after holding machete to New York Post reporter's neck.
00:21:19
Speaker
No, hell, this ain't gonna be good.
00:21:21
Speaker
Shaleen Rodriguez, a Manhattan College professor, has been fired from Hunter College after holding a machete to a New York Post reporter's throat and threatening to chop him up.
00:21:33
Speaker
The incident took place when the reporter for the New York Post knocked on Rodriguez's door at her Bronx apartment following a separate caught-on-camera scenario where Rodriguez destroyed a Students for Life of America table display.
00:21:47
Speaker
After the reporter identified himself, Rodriguez made threats from behind the closed door before storming out of her apartment and putting the blade of a machete on the reporter's neck, then retreating back inside and slamming the door.
00:22:01
Speaker
Rodriguez then followed the reporter and photographer outside, still wielding the machete, pursuing them down the street, and kicking the reporter in the shins.
00:22:12
Speaker
This violent incident unfolded after another video went viral showing Rodriguez verbally attacking pro-life students at Hunter College who had set up an information table in May.
00:22:22
Speaker
In the video, she could be heard cursing at the students and accusing them of offering propaganda.
00:22:28
Speaker
In the video, Rodriguez says, This is bullshit.
00:22:31
Speaker
This is violent.
00:22:32
Speaker
You're triggering my students.
00:22:35
Speaker
False.
00:22:36
Speaker
I refuse to let go of the fact that Amateur Nation classifies and categorizes speech that they don't like as violence.
00:22:44
Speaker
Remember the old silence is violence nonsense?
00:22:47
Speaker
What, because it rhymed?
00:22:48
Speaker
And likes are bikes and smiles are trials.
00:22:51
Speaker
Whatever, Dr. Seuss.
00:22:52
Speaker
I will say this one is accurate.
00:22:55
Speaker
Race baiting is hating.
00:22:58
Speaker
By definition, violence is an action, a physical action put forth against another.
00:23:07
Speaker
It's right in the Oxford Dictionary.
00:23:09
Speaker
Violence, behavior involving physical force intended to hurt, damage, or kill someone or something.
00:23:17
Speaker
And in law, it's defined as the unlawful exercise of physical force or intimidation by the exhibition of such force.
00:23:28
Speaker
Calling you a name is not the same as striking a person, no matter how strong your feelings are.
00:23:34
Speaker
Oh, your little feelings party didn't work out, huh?
00:23:36
Speaker
Who won the hugging contest?
00:23:38
Speaker
No, let me guess.
00:23:38
Speaker
Everyone tied for first.
00:23:40
Speaker
The article continues.
00:23:42
Speaker
Then the professor begins to toss the pamphlets and destroy the display while saying, get this shit the fuck out of here.
00:23:48
Speaker
Fuck this shit.
00:23:50
Speaker
In addition to destroying pro-life student displays and putting machetes on the neck of journalists, Rodriguez has a history of organizing movements such as Decolonize This Place and Fuck The Police from 2019 to 2020.
00:24:06
Speaker
Video emerged of Rodriguez interrogating and intimidating an independent reporter in January of 2020.
00:24:12
Speaker
That's gonna be awkward at our next job interview.
00:24:16
Speaker

Black Lives Matter Financial Scandal
00:26:10
Speaker
Accurate bookkeeping matters.
00:26:12
Speaker
BLM is going bankrupt.
00:26:14
Speaker
But at least all the money you donated went to improving black communities.
00:26:18
Speaker
All that crime is way down.
00:26:20
Speaker
Scholarships are flying out the window.
00:26:22
Speaker
And look at all the new jobs for black people in cities like Baltimore, Detroit, Minneapolis, LA, San Francisco, and others.
00:26:29
Speaker
From blackenterprise.com.
00:26:33
Speaker
Your headline, Black Lives Matter on the Brink of Bankruptcy, Called Out for Shady Finances.
00:26:38
Speaker
Here's the article.
00:26:40
Speaker
BLM's Global Network Foundation ended the financial year with $8,559,748, while still owing millions to organizers and relatives of co-founder Patrice Cullors.
00:26:53
Speaker
The New York Post reports, the filings highlight how the nonprofit recorded revenue of $8.5 million, more than half of the $17 million the organization spent.
00:27:03
Speaker
Cullors quit last year after financial scrutiny, but her brother, Paul Cullors, is currently the only salaried employee as of last year, getting nearly $125,000 plus $15,000 in other compensation for security.
00:27:13
Speaker
His security firm, Black Ties LLC, was paid much more than that, $756,330.
00:27:27
Speaker
A new team member, Shalamiah Bowers, who replaced Cullors, has also been accused of mismanaging money.
00:27:33
Speaker
In a lawsuit from outside sister organization Black Lives Matter Grassroots, the group accused Bowers of blazing a path of irreparable harm to BLM and transferring millions to his firm, Bowers Consulting.
00:27:48
Speaker
The group claimed instead of using the donations for its intended purposes, Mr. Bowers diverted these donations to his own coffers.
00:27:56
Speaker
I now will pause for five seconds to allow for outrage from black people and other BLM supporters who burned down cities and peacefully protested so that they can go burn down the mansions and businesses of the people in power at BLM who embezzled and squandered all of their donations and exploited their own race for personal gain.
00:28:20
Speaker
What the hell kind of country is this where I can only hate a man if he's white?
00:28:25
Speaker
BLM was called out for its financial woes by Adam Coleman, a black New York Post columnist on Fox News.
00:28:31
Speaker
He referred to its business practices as incredibly shady and compared it to the controversial transactions to those of Hunter Biden.
00:28:39
Speaker
Just as shady as Joe Biden's son in Burisma.
00:28:43
Speaker
Coleman told Fox & Friends First host Todd Pirro.
00:28:46
Speaker
Basically, it looks like they're funneling money to either their family members to possibly get it themselves, but the entire situation looks incredibly shady.
00:28:54
Speaker
That's the most fantastic story I've ever heard.
00:28:57
Speaker
How can you make up a thing like that?
00:28:58
Speaker
What do you know about it?
00:29:00
Speaker
I know it's time to lighten things up a smidge as we eat from the a la carte menu.
00:29:05
Speaker
Ha ha ha ha
00:29:16
Speaker
Legendary actor Al Pacino, age 83, has knocked up a 29-year-old.
00:29:23
Speaker
I'm sure he's looking forward to his kid's graduation when he's 101.
00:29:28
Speaker
Toss the old pigskin around.
00:29:30
Speaker
You're never too old to be stupid.
00:29:34
Speaker
Attention, Instagram models.
00:29:36
Speaker
He said in quotes,
00:29:38
Speaker
Did you audition to be a model?
00:29:41
Speaker
You have an agent?
00:29:42
Speaker
Are you doing jobs for various print or television clients?
00:29:45
Speaker
You have a call time?
00:29:46
Speaker
Do you have to sit for hours on set getting your hair and makeup ready?
00:29:50
Speaker
Do you take direction from the photographer or director?
00:29:53
Speaker
Do you have to maintain a certain weight and level of fitness?
00:29:56
Speaker
Do you have to wear what the client tells you to wear?
00:29:58
Speaker
No?
00:29:59
Speaker
Then you're not a model.
00:30:00
Speaker
You're taking pictures and video of yourself at home on your own time.
00:30:05
Speaker
Even if you have followers and now you're an influencer and you've monetized your page, being monetized does not make you a model.
00:30:14
Speaker
Oh, this just in.
00:30:16
Speaker
Lizzo says she's close to quitting music over comments about her body.
00:30:21
Speaker
Maybe it was something I said on this podcast a couple episodes back.
00:30:25
Speaker
Lizzo said, y'all don't know how close I be to giving up on everyone and quitting and enjoying my money and my man on a fucking farm.
00:30:33
Speaker
Well, yeah, instant access to beef and pork.
00:30:36
Speaker
And maybe if you be quitting music, you be spending more time learning to talk gooder.
00:30:41
Speaker
She went on to say, y'all speak on shit y'all know nothing about and I'm starting to get heated.
00:30:46
Speaker
Hey, fatty, you are fat.
00:30:50
Speaker

None of them threatened to quit show business because their feelings got hurt Welcome to show biz, Lardo Do you have any idea how you look?
00:31:28
Speaker
When I see someone's social media comment, do better
00:31:32
Speaker
I instantly think, douche.
00:31:44
Speaker
Time now for three pro things.
00:31:46
Speaker
Three things that are done right.
00:31:47
Speaker
This episode was harsh, wasn't it?
00:31:51
Speaker
Number one.
00:31:54
Speaker
What happened to women's sports?
00:31:56
Speaker
Girls' sports are a joke.
00:31:58
Speaker
Sadly, nowadays, that's true.
00:31:59
Speaker
While I don't watch any women's sports, it's absolutely important for young women to be involved in sports at a young age.
00:32:06
Speaker
Studies have shown that young people in general, male and female, young people that participate in youth sports get into less trouble, they have better grades and better mental health,
00:32:17
Speaker
They're better working in groups and being part of a team.
00:32:20
Speaker
And if it gets them a scholarship or helps them become better leaders in business, all the better.
00:32:25
Speaker
And of course, a handful of women do indeed go pro or at least to a higher level, tennis, soccer, and the never watched or attended WNBA.
00:32:33
Speaker
And don't forget about the Olympics.
00:32:35
Speaker
Enter former ESPN reporter Charlie Arnold, who recently slammed her former employer, WNBA player Brittany Griner, transgender swimmer Leah Thomas, and retired professional soccer player Megan Rapinoe during a recent interview.
00:32:49
Speaker
In a recent interview with the Daily Mail, the 35-year-old sports broadcaster and TV personality revealed that, quote, for five years...
00:32:58
Speaker
I couldn't be my true self while working for the sports television network, and I'm done holding back, offering opinions on several controversial athletes.
00:33:06
Speaker
Arnold criticized Brittany Griner, who spent nearly a year detained in Russia, for saying it was a crime not to allow biological men to compete in women's sports, saying Brittany Griner should be very thankful that she wouldn't have had that obstacle leading up to this point because she might not be playing in the WNBA if she would have.
00:33:26
Speaker
Might?
00:33:27
Speaker
How about not at all?
00:33:29
Speaker
She'd just be another player, not the stand-up that he is.
00:33:33
Speaker
I know what I said.
00:33:34
Speaker
Arnold went on to describe Leah Thomas, a biological male who identifies as transgender, and competed on the University of Pennsylvania's women's swim team as the biggest bigot that I have encountered in recent times because Thomas is forcing the swimmers' own beliefs onto other people and saying that if you don't believe in this, then you're a hateful person.
00:33:56
Speaker
You, Thomas, were a mediocre athlete in terms of male competition, and then you decided that you wanted to jump up the ladder and enter into the women's competition, she added.
00:34:05
Speaker
You were built differently than a woman.
00:34:09
Speaker
Here comes the logic that amateur nation just flat out ignores.
00:34:13
Speaker
Why?
00:34:13
Speaker
Because it doesn't affect them directly.
00:34:16
Speaker
She said, anyone who tries to make the argument that there is a gender spectrum, you can believe whatever you want, but science will tell you the DNA will tell you.
00:34:24
Speaker
There was a man and there was a woman.
00:34:27
Speaker
I don't care how you want to identify at ground zero, that's who you are.
00:34:32
Speaker
The broadcaster felt similar about Rapinoe, who she blasted for supporting the rights of biological males who identify as transgender to participate in women's sports.
00:34:41
Speaker
Suddenly, she's turning around after she retires from playing for the national team and says, I totally believe that males should be able to play with women.
00:34:50
Speaker
She's promoted equality and women's rights and the ability to be able to share in their success that is almost completely the opposite to what she's put forth, Arnold said.
00:35:01
Speaker
She's not wrong.
00:35:02
Speaker
Not one little bit.
00:35:04
Speaker
Number two.
Operation Gratitude Promotion
00:35:10
Speaker
When I lived in Los Angeles, I either co-produced, hosted, or headlined fundraising stand-up comedy shows for a great non-profit that benefits our men and women serving overseas in the Middle East called Operation Gratitude, working hand-in-hand with its founder, the tireless Carolyn Blaschek.
00:35:28
Speaker
Their mission, very simply, sending care packages to individual soldiers serving America to wherever they were deployed.
00:35:35
Speaker
In fact, I was honored to be able to help assemble those care packages as they were on their way to their one millionth package.
00:35:42
Speaker
That was many years ago, and since then, Operation Gratitude has mailed more than 3.8 million packages filled with assorted items and handmade goods to military service members, veterans, and their families worldwide.
00:35:57
Speaker
Packages have gone to Syria, Iraq, Kosovo, South Korea, Kuwait, and other locations, and they bring a bit of home to those who sacrifice their time and safety for the listeners and host of this show.
00:36:11
Speaker
I know in this inflation-plagued day and age, donating money can be a bit of a stretch, especially when many organizations aren't trustworthy.
00:36:18
Speaker
But if you'd like to make a donation to this tax-exempt public charity that's been around for a long time, that I've witnessed and worked with firsthand for many, many years, and have seen
00:36:32
Speaker
the good they do with my own eyes and what they do, their operation and the good they do, go to operationgratitude.com.

Pro-Trump Rap Song Introduction
00:36:48
Speaker
Earlier in the show, we talked about boycotting woke companies and recently a pro-Trump rap group released a song called Boycott Target, racking up 3 million plus views.
00:36:59
Speaker
The group, made up of 4G out of blow, Jimmy Levy, Nick Natoli, and Stoney Dudabro, recorded a song with lyrics about retail giant Target targeting your children with satanic and sexualized goods.
00:37:11
Speaker
Here's the best part.
00:37:12
Speaker
They shot the video at a Target store where LGBT pride goods are on display.
00:37:19
Speaker
