Introduction: Amateur Nation and Episode Theme
00:00:00
Speaker
Warning, the podcast you are about to hear is often based on true events and people.
00:00:06
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.
00:00:23
Speaker
In one word, amateurs.
00:00:25
Speaker
Amateurs.
00:00:27
Speaker
It's Amateur Nation with Lou Santini.
00:00:30
Speaker
We call attention to and call out the amateurs.
00:00:34
Speaker
The people who are doing life wrong.
00:00:37
Speaker
The speed bumps of life.
00:00:38
Speaker
The people that are in your way every day.
00:00:40
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.
00:00:54
Speaker
Hi, Mom.
00:00:55
Speaker
Oh, hey, Lou.
00:00:55
Speaker
Amateur Nation, it's not just a podcast, it's a movement.
00:00:58
Speaker
What have we got here?
00:00:59
Speaker
Fucking comedian.
00:01:01
Speaker
Yes, sir.
00:01:01
Speaker
This is episode 204.
00:01:03
Speaker
Liars and pedos and scams.
00:01:05
Speaker
Oh, my.
00:01:07
Speaker
Fans first, as always, shouts out to Bertha Turco, Alexa Reagan, and Mae Schneider listening on SoundCloud, and Liz Weirman, Inglis, Gene Smith, Shane, Heidi Sparrow, Nimesh Patel, Rosie, Michael Pender, and Victoria Higgins, who follow me on Instagram.
00:01:24
Speaker
Here's what's happening in Amateur Nation.
Alyssa Milano vs. Elon Musk: A Case of Contradictions
00:01:27
Speaker
Topic number one.
00:01:27
Speaker
Topic number one.
00:01:30
Speaker
Let's start the show with a callback to last week's episode in the a la carte segment when I mentioned that Alyssa Milano is in a three-way tie with the dumbest people in Hollywood.
00:01:41
Speaker
Going on Twitter a month after the site's ownership changed hands, Milano announced, I gave back my Tesla.
00:01:47
Speaker
I bought the Volkswagen electric vehicle and I love it.
00:01:51
Speaker
Adding, I'm not sure how advertisers can buy space on Twitter.
00:01:55
Speaker
Publicly traded companies' products being pushed in alignment with hate and white supremacy doesn't seem to be a winning business model.
00:02:04
Speaker
For those of you who did not know, Volkswagen was founded in 1937 by the German labor front under the Nazi party and revived into a global brand post-World War II by the British Army officer Yvonne Hurst.
00:02:19
Speaker
It is known for the iconic Beetle and serves as the flagship brand of the Volkswagen Group, the largest automotive manufacturer by worldwide sales in 2016 and 2017.
00:02:31
Speaker
Now, of course, just because Volkswagen was invented, so to speak,
00:02:37
Speaker
So to speak by the Nazi party by no means does it mean that if you own or drive a Volkswagen you're a Nazi or a white supremacist hell I had a 1995 Volkswagen GTR VR6 and I loved that car the same way that just because maybe perhaps thanks to your family tree.
00:02:55
Speaker
You can be traced back to a slave owner.
00:02:58
Speaker
Doesn't make you a slave owner or a racist, but that's common sense.
00:03:02
Speaker
That's logic.
00:03:03
Speaker
But it's funny how that kind of logic only serves amateur nation when they need it.
00:03:12
Speaker
Normally, amateur nation, in this case, Alyssa Milano, you would think would do her homework.
00:03:19
Speaker
And being the knee-jerk reaction emotional amateur that she is, have several heart attacks thinking if she knew that Volkswagen was founded by the Nazi party way back when, she would not want to own one.
00:03:34
Speaker
But don't worry, Elon Musk himself called her out on it, as did thousands of others.
00:03:41
Speaker
And to which I responded in last week's episode, You never open your mouth till you know what the shot is.
00:03:48
Speaker
Now, to further illustrate the knee-jerk-ism...
00:03:51
Speaker
Emotions first, logic and common sense later, ism, the need for attention, the I'm on Twitter so everything that is in my head should be posted, ism, the virtue signaling, the reactionary way most in amateur nation behave, and last but not least, the hypocrisy.
00:04:08
Speaker
Here are various posts by Alyssa Who's the Boss Milano.
00:04:14
Speaker
Through time on Twitter.
00:04:16
Speaker
This was Alyssa Milano before Elon Musk bought Twitter.
00:04:21
Speaker
In one post, she wrote, I am in awe of Elon Musk and I continue to be amazed by my Tesla motors.
00:04:29
Speaker
To design your car, click here.
00:04:31
Speaker
She was totally shilling.
00:04:33
Speaker
Another post, it was replying to Elon Musk and William Shatner, I love you both.
00:04:40
Speaker
To Elon Musk, another post.
00:04:43
Speaker
Congratulations.
00:04:45
Speaker
Another post.
00:04:45
Speaker
After Elon Musk had turned the power back on at a children's hospital in Puerto Rico, she wrote, Thank you, Elon Musk and Tesla.
00:04:54
Speaker
Another post.
00:04:55
Speaker
Elon Musk, you're amazing.
00:04:58
Speaker
I can't imagine taking even the three seconds out of my day to text someone I don't know and probably will never meet.
00:05:07
Speaker
For example, I'm a fan of Steve Martin.
00:05:09
Speaker
It would never occur to me when I did have a Twitter account way back when to just text him a message on Twitter, you're amazing.
00:05:16
Speaker
Stop.
00:05:17
Speaker
How bored are you?
00:05:20
Speaker
It's a combination of boredom and everyone needs to know that I'm still alive.
00:05:26
Speaker
That's what we got going on with Alyssa Milano.
00:05:28
Speaker
Here's another one that Alyssa Milano posted.
00:05:30
Speaker
Again, this is all before Elon Musk bought Twitter.
00:05:34
Speaker
Four people you'd want to have dinner with, dead or alive.
00:05:38
Speaker
Mine, Jesus, Roberto Clemente, John Lennon, and Elon Musk.
00:05:43
Speaker
That's an odd group, but I'm not judging.
00:05:45
Speaker
Hey, there's four people you would want to have dinner with.
00:05:47
Speaker
But Elon Musk was in there.
00:05:49
Speaker
Another one.
00:05:50
Speaker
Dear Elon Musk, my Tesla Motors Model X just arrived.
00:05:54
Speaker
Thank you for being a genius.
00:05:56
Speaker
I appreciate you.
00:05:57
Speaker
Respectfully, Alyssa.
00:06:01
Speaker
And finally, I told my four-year-old about SpaceX landing a rocket on water.
00:06:06
Speaker
I guess it inspired him.
00:06:08
Speaker
At Elon Musk.
00:06:10
Speaker
What do you expect from an amateur who wore a macrame mask during COVID?
00:06:17
Speaker
This is the same nitwit who said, on the view, of course.
00:06:21
Speaker
But I'm also kind of like, I'm so annoyed with all these billionaires, with the exception of a few.
00:06:26
Speaker
But especially Elon Musk.
00:06:28
Speaker
Like, you buy Twitter to destroy it for $40 billion, right?
00:06:31
Speaker
$40 billion.
00:06:33
Speaker
Imagine if he donated that money to UNICEF.
00:06:35
Speaker
He could change the world.
00:06:37
Speaker
There would be no hunger.
00:06:40
Speaker
Okay, here we go.
00:06:41
Speaker
A, who gets annoyed with billionaires?
00:06:44
Speaker
For the billionth time, without billionaires and millionaires, many people simply don't have jobs.
00:06:54
Speaker
B. Milano's net worth is at about $10 million, a far cry from a billion.
00:06:58
Speaker
But why does Elon Musk have to give his money to UNICEF?
00:07:02
Speaker
Why doesn't she give nine of her 10 million to UNICEF?
00:07:05
Speaker
It won't cure world hunger.
00:07:06
Speaker
Sure could feed a lot of people.
00:07:08
Speaker
Amateur nation always knows how you should spend your money.
00:07:12
Speaker
Hey, numbskull, without millionaires and billionaires,
00:07:15
Speaker
You're not on TV, Alyssa Milano.
00:07:17
Speaker
From the studio heads to production heads, the inventors of the TV camera, the writers, all of Hollywood, having lived there for 24 years and been on set and shot commercials and TV shows and been in movies and done extra work and voiceovers and stand-up, billionaires and millionaires make a lot of lives possible.
00:07:38
Speaker
C. Who are the few billionaires you're not annoyed with?
00:07:42
Speaker
Why are they okay?
00:07:43
Speaker
Did they spend their money the way you wanted them to?
00:07:46
Speaker
D. How about the billions?
00:07:49
Speaker
President Coloring Book is laundering, I mean sending, to Ukraine.
00:07:53
Speaker
Couldn't we have used that money in the U.S. to feed our hungry?
00:07:57
Speaker
For border safety?
00:07:59
Speaker
For roads?
00:08:00
Speaker
Schools?
00:08:01
Speaker
Improving the lives of our veterans?
00:08:03
Speaker
But it's always for world hunger.
00:08:06
Speaker
E, how is Twitter destroyed now?
00:08:09
Speaker
Because it's back to the original idea of the free exchange of ideas and communication.
00:08:14
Speaker
He didn't buy it and shut it down.
00:08:16
Speaker
He didn't burn down the building.
00:08:18
Speaker
How is your life different, Alyssa Milano?
00:08:20
Speaker
You haven't left the evil new Twitterverse.
00:08:22
Speaker
You still have your money and some fame.
00:08:24
Speaker
Now more than ever, people know what you stand for.
00:08:27
Speaker
Stupidity and hypocrisy.
00:08:29
Speaker
But you got your precious attention.
00:08:32
Speaker
F, where is Alyssa Milano's agent, her manager, her publicist, her friends, family, to tell her, please shut up.
00:08:40
Speaker
You make yourself look stupid often.
00:08:43
Speaker
Maybe she, like many an amateur nation who moved to Canada when Trump won the election the first time in 2016, will leave Twitter.
00:08:50
Speaker
But we'll announce her leaving on Twitter and we'll hang out to see what people say about her leaving Twitter.
Balenciaga's Controversy and Hollywood's Silence
00:08:57
Speaker
And now this.
00:08:58
Speaker
Topic number two.
00:09:01
Speaker
Instead of burning your Balenciaga gear, give it to the homeless.
00:09:05
Speaker
Let Balenciaga see the poorest people in America wearing their expensive crap.
00:09:10
Speaker
P.S.
00:09:11
Speaker
Balenciaga left Twitter, deleting its million follower account.
00:09:17
Speaker
And Hollywood responded with the two things it does best, hypocrisy and silence.
00:09:23
Speaker
As Free Range Mama on Instagram said, Just waiting on that celebrity video about their disgust around the Balenciaga material.
00:09:31
Speaker
Remember that distasteful, haphazardly thrown-together COVID Imagine video?
00:09:37
Speaker
Where's Hollywood's We Are The World Unity?
00:09:41
Speaker
So the MyPillow founder, Mike Lindell, has his banks cut ties with him for being a conservative Republican, the man who retooled a pillow factory to make useless masks to satisfy the sheep who thought they worked.
00:09:55
Speaker
But Balenciaga's banking is still intact.
00:09:58
Speaker
Well...
00:10:02
Speaker
Kim Kardashian dumped Ye for wearing a MAGA hat, but don't worry, she's reevaluating her relationship with Balenciaga.
00:10:11
Speaker
Kardashian said she had waited to speak out, not because I haven't been disgusted and outraged by the recent Balenciaga campaigns, but because I wanted an opportunity to speak to their team to understand for myself how this could have happened.
00:10:27
Speaker
See, there it is.
00:10:28
Speaker
It's that goddamn phrase I hate, happened.
00:10:32
Speaker
How this happened.
00:10:33
Speaker
A professional athlete gets caught on camera punching his wife.
00:10:38
Speaker
I'm really sorry for what happened.
00:10:41
Speaker
No, no, something didn't happen.
00:10:42
Speaker
An earthquake happens.
00:10:43
Speaker
Something that happens is beyond your control.
00:10:45
Speaker
You happened.
00:10:47
Speaker
Balenciaga happened.
00:10:49
Speaker
She said, I appreciate Balenciaga's removal of the campaigns and apology.
00:10:54
Speaker
In speaking with them, I believe they understand the seriousness of the issue and will take the necessary measures for this to never happen again.
00:11:02
Speaker
So taking the necessary measures of it never happening again, what they have to do is literally not film extremely small children in sexual and BDSM and violent imagery.
00:11:16
Speaker
All they have to do is not do that.
00:11:19
Speaker
They've taken those steps.
00:11:20
Speaker
Rest easy, America.
00:11:22
Speaker
Nothing to see here.
00:11:24
Speaker
It's okay.
00:11:24
Speaker
I talked to them and they said sorry, so we're good.
00:11:28
Speaker
Never happen again.
00:11:30
Speaker
Exploring a child once gets you a pass?
00:11:35
Speaker
The photographer
00:11:37
Speaker
For Balenciaga, Gabriel Gallimberti posted an apology on his Instagram page.
00:11:42
Speaker
He said, Our plush bear bag should not have been featured with children in this campaign.
00:11:47
Speaker
We have immediately removed the campaign from all platforms.
00:11:50
Speaker
He told CNN in a statement that the direction and shooting of the Toy Stories campaign was out of his hands, claiming he was not entitled in whatsoever manner to neither choose the products nor the models nor the combination of the same.
00:12:03
Speaker
So...
00:12:04
Speaker
The photographer said, not my prob.
00:12:07
Speaker
He could have walked out, reported to the higher-ups.
00:12:14
Speaker
Yeah, he would have lost his job.
00:12:15
Speaker
You know, like the people who wouldn't get the untested gene experiment.
00:12:18
Speaker
People with standards, a moral compass, and a predisposition for what is right and wrong.
00:12:25
Speaker
As at X hoop posted, hey photographers, when Balenciaga hires you to shoot their new look book and you show up to find a toddler laid across the sofa with wine glasses and bondage gear arranged around them, you walk away, period.
00:12:41
Speaker
Let's not forget that one still shot of the brand's bag on a desk featured a document from the U.S. court case Ashcroft v. Free Speech Coalition, a judgment in favor of virtual child pornography.
00:12:55
Speaker
This post from at Ms.
00:12:57
Speaker
Blair White on Twitter.
00:12:59
Speaker
If Balenciaga did something that offended the LGBT community, every celebrity would have cut ties instantly.
00:13:06
Speaker
They promoted child porn and nearly every celebrity is silent.
00:13:09
Speaker
Really makes you think, huh?
00:13:12
Speaker
Hell, I have friends in the entertainment industry in Los Angeles currently and their silence bothers me.
00:13:19
Speaker
And they're not even famous.
00:13:21
Speaker
And they have small kids.

00:14:38
Speaker
A sense of entitlement.
00:14:39
Speaker
A constant need for attention.
00:14:41
Speaker
Ironically coupled with the need to be left alone.
00:14:43
Speaker
A desire to be treated the same as everyone else.

It's time for This Week in Are You Fing Kidding Me?
00:15:45
Speaker
Foreign lawbreaker and WNBA player, yes, the WNBA is still a thing, Brittany Griner, was released from a Russian prison due to, pick one or all, LGBTQ privilege, trans privilege, professional athlete privilege, black privilege, in exchange for Victor Boot, a.k.a.
00:16:01
Speaker
the Merchant of Death, one of the most notorious
The Brittany Griner Exchange: Fairness in Question
00:16:04
Speaker
convicted arms dealers of all time.
00:16:06
Speaker
So notorious, you may have seen the movie Lord of War, starring Nicolas Cage.
00:16:10
Speaker
Seems like a good deal.
00:16:11
Speaker
We get a guy who can't draw one share when he plays for the WNBA and they get a worldwide criminal full of intel.
00:16:18
Speaker
Of course, Kamala Harris is going to weigh in.
00:16:22
Speaker
Today, Brittany Griner's wrongful detention... Wrongful detention?
00:16:28
Speaker
Excuse me, she broke the law.
00:16:29
Speaker
She wasn't vacationing in Russia.
00:16:31
Speaker
She wasn't kidnapped.
00:16:32
Speaker
She wasn't playing there and they grabbed her.
00:16:34
Speaker
She committed a crime and got caught.
00:16:38
Speaker
Today, Brittany Griner's wrongful detention in Russia finally ends, and she is on her way home to be reunited with her family.
00:16:45
Speaker
Yeah, in America, that she hates and disrespects, but will be lauded as a hero despite his accomplishing nothing but being a distraction to the world as Biden continues to launder money, ignore child sex trafficking, and the implosion of the USA that he is orchestrating.
00:17:02
Speaker
Okay, I may have taken liberties with that last part.
00:17:05
Speaker
I mean, maybe he was wrongfully detained, like the American citizens held hostage since January 6th without a trial of any kind or contact with the outside world.
00:17:15
Speaker
President Coloring Book, the man who pushes for gun control, and then released the most notorious convicted arms dealer of all time, said, She represents the best America.
00:17:25
Speaker
The best about America.
00:17:27
Speaker
Just across the board.
00:17:28
Speaker
Everything about her.
00:17:29
Speaker
I've done some dumb things.
00:17:31
Speaker
They'll do dumb things again.
00:17:33
Speaker
So, an American-hating, law-breaking man who got special consideration is the best about America.
00:17:39
Speaker
If he's the best, then I'm full-on legend.
00:17:41
Speaker
I guess retired Marine Paul Whelan will just have to wait until, say, trans swimmer Leah Thomas decides to visit Russia.
00:17:49
Speaker
AtpCooper253 said it best in a joke I wished I had written.
00:17:53
Speaker
This is the first time anyone has been aware of a WNBA trade.
00:18:00
Speaker
Speaking of the WNBA, how come the men in the NBA don't share their paychecks with the women in the WNBA like the men's pro international soccer team has to with the women's soccer team?
00:18:14
Speaker
In other news of fake hate crimes that would make Bubba Wallace and Jussie Smollett proud, a black woman by the name of Zainab Bint Abdul Hadajakian, please don't make me say it twice, was revealed to be the suspect behind the window-smashing attack on the Black Cultural Center at the University of Virginia.
00:18:34
Speaker
So the IRS says you scumbag American citizens listening to this podcast have to report $600 in payments you've received via PayPal and Venmo.
00:18:43
Speaker
But the Department of Defense failed their fifth audit, unable to account for $1.8 trillion.
00:18:50
Speaker
That is 61% of their assets.
00:18:57
Speaker
Known temper tantrum haver mega director James Cameron says, testosterone is a toxin men must terminate from their system.
00:19:05
Speaker
Which I am going to start doing right after I watch the Terminator, Terminator 2 Judgment Day, Aliens, Terminator Dark Fate, The Abyss, True Lies, Terminator Genesis, Terminator Salvation, The Last Action Hero, and Escape from New York.
00:19:18
Speaker
You know what they say about testosterone.
00:19:19
Speaker
It can't be bargained with.
00:19:21
Speaker
It can't be reasoned with.
00:19:24
Speaker
It doesn't feel pity or remorse or fear, and it absolutely will not stop ever until you are dead.
00:19:35
Speaker
P.S.
00:19:35
Speaker
We need testosterone to reproduce, idiot.
00:19:39
Speaker
By the way, Cameron plans to do more sleep-inducing Avatar sequels all the way through 2028.
00:19:49
Speaker
You have got to be fucking kidding me.
00:19:51
Speaker
Sam Brinton, the Department of Energy's head of spent nuclear fuel management, has yet, again, been caught stealing luggage.
00:19:58
Speaker
This time from a Las Vegas airport.
00:20:01
Speaker
Yeah, don't vet those federal employees.
00:20:03
Speaker
Just look at their skin color, ask who they're fucking, and ask as to what they identify.
00:20:08
Speaker
He's a complete amateur.
00:20:10
Speaker
A few episodes back, I mentioned how San Francisco will be implementing its gift program, Guaranteed Income for Trans People, to the tune of $1,200 a month for 18 months because... Help, help, I'm being repressed!
00:20:25
Speaker
Don't you love how they can put a dollar amount on oppression and an 18-month timeline?
00:20:31
Speaker
PragerU went to UC Berkeley to ask the amateurs who attend there about what they thought about that.
00:20:38
Speaker
Listen to these Mensa candidates.
00:20:40
Speaker
Hey you guys, it's Aldo with PragerU.
00:20:42
Speaker
We're here at UC Berkeley to ask the students about the new guaranteed income program for the trans community.
00:20:47
Speaker
It's gonna get interesting.
00:20:48
Speaker
Let's do it.
00:20:50
Speaker
They officially announced a new program that would guarantee $1,200 a month for up to 18 months for the members of the trans community in San Francisco.
00:20:58
Speaker
How do you feel about that program?
00:21:00
Speaker
I think it's a good thing, yeah.
00:21:01
Speaker
It was nice.
00:21:02
Speaker
Why?
00:21:03
Speaker
Because it's supporting the trans community.
00:21:05
Speaker
Are you in for that program?
00:21:07
Speaker
How do you feel about it?
00:21:07
Speaker
That's good, yeah.
00:21:09
Speaker
Why?
00:21:11
Speaker
They're giving money to support the community.
00:21:13
Speaker
So back-to-back answers to the question, how do you feel about money being given to the trans community are, I like it because it gives money to the trans community.
00:21:23
Speaker
That's like asking someone, why do you like chocolate ice cream?
00:21:27
Speaker
I like it because it's chocolate ice cream.
00:21:29
Speaker
How do you feel about this program?
00:21:30
Speaker
I'm not totally against it.
00:21:32
Speaker
Even though San Francisco specifically is a big champion for trans rights, and you could argue, oh, why is it necessary in San Francisco?
00:21:39
Speaker
They're not marginalized in San Francisco.
00:21:41
Speaker
The key thing is that it sends a signal, I guess, to the rest of the nation, and it encourages an overall national dialogue on the issue.
00:21:50
Speaker
Yeah, that was a whole lot of nothing.
00:21:52
Speaker
Ooh, a national dialogue, not just a city or state dialogue.
00:21:56
Speaker
Yeah.
00:21:56
Speaker
My first question is where is the money coming from and what are the qualifications?
00:22:00
Speaker
Finally, a student with a cogent, reasonable answer.
00:22:05
Speaker
Now, I saved the best for last, of course.
00:22:08
Speaker
Listen to this Nimrod try to reason, but the bong water in her head prevents that.
00:22:13
Speaker
And if you could see her friend standing next to her, she's literally staring into space like, hey, a bird.
00:22:19
Speaker
Two things.
00:22:20
Speaker
Listen to how she says the word important.
00:22:23
Speaker
And also, let's keep a tally on all the...
00:22:26
Speaker
likes why should we be giving income to one community and not people struggling in general because there are white people that are struggling there are black people that are struggling that may not be trans why should we selectively give people money that are struggling we can't divide it like based on like which struggles like more important but like if you think about it the trans people they've had like experienced more discrimination like
00:22:54
Speaker
I don't know.
00:22:55
Speaker
How to say it without favoring.
00:22:58
Speaker
Wow.
00:22:59
Speaker
College kid, folks.
00:23:09
Speaker
Let's eat off the a la carte menu, shall we?
00:23:12
Speaker
Here we go.
Crypto Billionaires' Deaths: Conspiracies or Coincidences?
00:23:14
Speaker
Three crypto billionaires have died in the last month.
00:23:19
Speaker
Yeah, that's normal.
00:23:20
Speaker
Anyone seen Hillary Clinton?
00:23:21
Speaker
Speaking of which, W-I-T-C-H, Hillary turned off all her replies after Elon Musk dropped the hammer on the Biden crime family.
00:23:33
Speaker
In other tech news, Apple is making plans to move some of its production out of China, per the Wall Street Journal.
00:23:40
Speaker
Still no word about why Apple eliminated the airdrop feature in China, or the 87,000-person concentration camp being open for business, or the people burned alive while being welded shut into their homes for their protection during lockdowns.
00:23:54
Speaker
But the new iPhone 14 is here, and it comes in blue!
00:24:00
Speaker
Truth bomb, 96 people were shot in New York in six days.
00:24:04
Speaker
None by whites or cops or legal gun owners.
00:24:10
Speaker
This from the pussification of America.
00:24:13
Speaker
The U.S. has the third highest murder rate in the world.
00:24:17
Speaker
However, if you remove Chicago, number one, Detroit, number two, Washington, D.C., number three, St.
00:24:22
Speaker
Louis, number four, and Philadelphia, number five, the USA is then 189th.
00:24:29
Speaker
Out of 193 countries in the world, all five cities have strict gun control laws and are controlled by Democrats.
00:24:39
Speaker
The more you insist upon your pronouns, especially false and or made up ones, the more you are trying to convince yourself that you are not average.
00:24:48
Speaker
You are not special at all.
00:24:49
Speaker
This becomes the only thing that makes you special.
00:24:52
Speaker
And it's only in your eyes.
00:24:54
Speaker
Welcome to mediocrity, amateur.
00:24:59
Speaker
Three things that are done right in this world always wrap up the show on a positive note, giving the world hope.
00:25:05
Speaker
Three pro things.
00:25:06
Speaker
Here's number one.
00:25:09
Speaker
Leave it to comedy to spell it out for you.
00:25:11
Speaker
In this episode of Family Guy, they call out trans privilege.
00:25:15
Speaker
We see Quagmire's dad, who is now trans after serving in the Navy for years as a decorated officer, as she sits at a bar surfing on her phone.
00:25:25
Speaker
Excuse me, ma'am.
00:25:26
Speaker
No porn at the bar.
00:25:27
Speaker
Oh, it's okay.
00:25:27
Speaker
I'm transgender.
00:25:28
Speaker
Oh, I had no idea.
00:25:30
Speaker
Do whatever you want all the time.
00:25:32
Speaker
Brilliant.
00:25:33
Speaker
Number two.
00:25:39
Speaker
I love this post from Free Range Mama that I mentioned earlier on the show.
00:25:43
Speaker
She's on Instagram.
00:25:44
Speaker
I didn't wake up one day and think, I'm going to start speaking on something extremely controversial that goes against the norm, lose all my friends, and be thought of as crazy.
00:25:53
Speaker
I experienced multiple events that fundamentally transformed my perceptions.
00:26:00
Speaker
That is woke.
00:26:03
Speaker
That is how a pro thinks.
00:26:07
Speaker
Number three.
00:26:11
Speaker
love this tweet by Canadian Refusenik.
00:26:15
Speaker
I've mentioned this person before, their post on Twitter, this.
00:26:20
Speaker
Remember, if someone dies suddenly, it is not appropriate to ask about their vaccination status.
00:26:26
Speaker
That information was only relevant for getting into restaurants and gyms.

Amateur Nation is not just a podcast, it's movement.
00:26:59
Speaker
Remember, amateurs, we see you.
00:27:01
Speaker
You're not at home.
00:27:03
Speaker
Don't do life wrong.
00:27:04
Speaker
Go pro.
00:27:05
Speaker
Don't be an amateur.
00:27:06
Speaker
For Amateur Nation, I'm Lou Santini, and this has been a big major production.
00:27:19
Speaker
Can't divide it, like, based on, like, which struggles, like...
00:27:23
Speaker
more important.
00:27:24
Speaker
But like if you think about it, the trans people they've had like experienced more discrimination like I don't know how to like say without like favoring.
