00:00:00

Speaker
This is my way of saying thank you to the pros who listen to this show every week.

DriveourComedy.com slash Lou S. Amateur Nation is not just a podcast, it's a movement.
00:00:34
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.
00:00:44
Speaker
The flag flies at many NASCAR races around the country, and you can help honor our nation's fallen military members and remember the eternal sacrifice of their service by flying the flag too.
00:00:56
Speaker
Text FLAG to 71777 or visit honorandremember.org to learn more.
00:00:59
Speaker
Together, we remember them all.
00:01:27
Speaker
Okay, let's all shut up, please.
00:01:29
Speaker
Warning.
Highlighting 'Amateur' Behavior
00:01:30
Speaker
The podcast you are about to hear is often based on true events and people.
00:01:35
Speaker
It chronicles the dialogue and actions of random, anonymous, obnoxious, self-entitled, unintelligent, self-centered idiots.
00:01:42
Speaker
Attention whores, ignoramacists, 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.
00:01:52
Speaker
In one word, amateurs.
00:01:54
Speaker
Amateurs.
00:01:56
Speaker
It's Amateur Nation with Lou Santini.
00:01:59
Speaker
He's the greatest American hero ever born.
00:02:01
Speaker
I ain't arguing.
00:02:02
Speaker
We call attention to and call out the amateurs.
00:02:06
Speaker
The people who are doing life wrong.
00:02:08
Speaker
The speed bumps of life.
00:02:10
Speaker
The people that are in your way every day.
00:02:12
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.
00:02:22
Speaker
And are disturbing the flow of the pros.
00:02:25
Speaker
Hi, Mom.
00:02:26
Speaker
Oh, hey, Lou.
00:02:26
Speaker
Amateur Nation.
00:02:27
Speaker
It's not just a podcast.
00:02:29
Speaker
It's a movement.
00:02:30
Speaker
The last show of 2023.
00:02:32
Speaker
This is episode 258.
00:02:35
Speaker
The best, most sarcastic, anti-woke, anti-globalist episode of 2023.
00:02:42
Speaker
On today's episode, This Week in Product Fails, Worst Wife Ever, and my end-of-year open letter to amateur nation.
00:02:50
Speaker
Then a few brain bites more on a la carte.
00:02:52
Speaker
Then get your head nodding in agreement and your lips turned upward with the fellow pros on three things that are done right.
00:02:59
Speaker
On three pro things.
00:03:01
Speaker
As always, pro nation first.
00:03:03
Speaker
Shouts out to Scott Monticelli, D&D Ventures, Piper Strano, Lou Green, Pob Moe, Brenda Harris, Alex Fuentes, Marcella Ruiz, Brenda Harris, and Caroline underscore Alex 101.
00:03:17
Speaker
All checking me out on Instagram.
00:03:19
Speaker
You can do the same at lou.santini3.
00:03:24
Speaker
By the way, I get yearly stats on this show at year's end, and guess what the most popular episode was?
00:03:30
Speaker
Wasn't too far back.
00:03:31
Speaker
Episode 245, Transplaining.
00:03:35
Speaker
It was listened to 213% more than my average episode.
00:03:41
Speaker
Not that any of this show's episodes were average.
00:03:45
Speaker
Your pro post of the week from Russian-American writer Ayn Rand.
00:03:50
Speaker
There is no difference between communism and socialism except in the means of achieving the same ultimate end.
00:03:58
Speaker
Communism proposes to enslave men by force.
00:04:02
Speaker
Socialism by vote.
00:04:04
Speaker
It's merely the difference between murder and suicide.
Critiques on Brand Strategies
00:04:09
Speaker
It's the last show of 2023.
00:04:11
Speaker
Here's what's happening in Amateur Nation.
00:04:13
Speaker
Now dig this.
00:04:14
Speaker
Step one.
00:04:16
Speaker
Topic number one.
00:04:17
Speaker
Topic number one.
00:04:19
Speaker
It's time for This Week in Product Fails.
00:04:22
Speaker
First up, maker of 22 different pet foods, Purina.
00:04:26
Speaker
Remember when they made dog and cat chow, and that's all they did?
00:04:30
Speaker
Well, good news, abused women.
00:04:32
Speaker
And yes, men.
00:04:33
Speaker
And yes, you heard me right.
00:04:34
Speaker
Now they're in the abused spouse relocation business.
00:04:38
Speaker
I was watching TV the other day, and a commercial came on.
00:04:41
Speaker
Allow me to describe.
00:04:43
Speaker
Here we have a woman...
00:04:45
Speaker
squatting sadly down on the kitchen floor, picking up dried dog food that has been spilt everywhere.
00:04:53
Speaker
The husband, whose face we never see, has his back to the camera as he does something at the kitchen counter.
00:04:58
Speaker
He's making a sandwich or something.
00:05:00
Speaker
Their dog, caught in the middle of this shit show, stands by timidly waiting for someone to feed him her they.
00:05:08
Speaker
Just then, the evil white man, oh did I not mention he's white, slams something down on the counter in anger, jarring the wife and dog, which we see in close-up.
00:05:19
Speaker
Then the most serious music and graphic a pet food company has ever broadcast.
00:05:24
Speaker
We help create safe spaces for domestic abuse survivors and their pets.
00:05:29
Speaker
Now after some digging, I found out that it's called the Purple Leash Project.
00:05:33
Speaker
What, no rainbow, just purple?
00:05:36
Speaker
Then we see the wife triumphantly leaving their modest home, getting in her car with the dog, and off to a beautifully appointed room as she sits on her bed, petting the dog, who may or may not have been fed yet, as she embarks... Thank you....on her new life.
00:05:53
Speaker
Now let me be clear, I am not making fun of domestic abuse victims.
00:05:56
Speaker
Pro Nation understands this.
00:05:58
Speaker
I am making fun of the fact that a pet food company has found a way to virtue signal and use the word safe space and veer completely out of their lane while finding a backhanded way to villainize men.
00:06:10
Speaker
In this case, white men.
00:06:12
Speaker
Don't you know?
00:06:13
Speaker
Every product and service offered now can't focus on their product or service only.
00:06:17
Speaker
They have to support or rally behind some cause.
00:06:25
Speaker
Know what's been missing from kids' cereals?
00:06:27
Speaker
Sexuality, propaganda, and grooming.
00:06:30
Speaker
The latest marketing fail, this time from Kellogg's.
00:06:33
Speaker
You see, they're donating to GLAAD to support their media advocacy work and accelerating acceptance for the LGBTQ LMNOP community.
00:06:42
Speaker
Hey, it's on the box!
00:06:44
Speaker
For those of you who need a refresher, GLAAD is an acronym for Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, a social issue about which every child feels strongly.
00:06:54
Speaker
That's all kids talk about on the playground.
00:06:56
Speaker
Playgrounds, you know, mom and dad, I mean, parental units, playgrounds, those locations where the homeless shoot up and poop.
00:07:03
Speaker
Introducing Together with Pride cereal.
00:07:06
Speaker
That's the name.
00:07:07
Speaker
Mm-mm.
00:07:08
Speaker
Mom, can I have some Together with Pride for breakfast?
00:07:11
Speaker
Did you memorize the latest list of pronouns and genders?
00:07:14
Speaker
Aw, Mom.
00:07:15
Speaker
I mean, parent who ovulates.
00:07:17
Speaker
Hey, your father can ovulate too, young man.
00:07:21
Speaker
Oh, they're already twisted.
00:07:23
Speaker
You'll see all your formerly friendly but now communist characters on the box.
00:07:27
Speaker
Tony the Tiger, now Tony the Tyrant.
00:07:29
Speaker
Snap, Crackle, Pop, now he, her, they.
00:07:32
Speaker
The Sugar Smacks, Dig'em Frog, now the Screw'em Frog.
00:07:35
Speaker
Toucan Sa- not Toucan Sam!
00:07:38
Speaker
That's right, kids.
00:07:39
Speaker
Just follow your orders.
00:07:41
Speaker
Complete with a spot to add your own pronouns on the side of the box.
00:07:46
Speaker
No joke.
00:07:47
Speaker
Sorry, kids.
00:07:48
Speaker
There are only two available lines to add your own pronouns.
00:07:51
Speaker
And the message, boxes are for cereal, not people.
00:07:56
Speaker
Tell that to your funeral director when you're dead at 40 from your 40th COVID booster.
00:08:00
Speaker
Tastes oppressive, now with more anxiety.
00:08:03
Speaker
Full of pandering, attention-starved goodness.
00:08:06
Speaker
And of course, this cereal is heart-shaped and comes in various chemically altered rainbow colors.
00:08:12
Speaker
I found the perfect jingle for it.
00:08:13
Speaker
Be yourself.
00:08:15
Speaker
Be yourself.
00:08:18
Speaker
Be yourself.
00:08:20
Speaker
Boycott Kellogg's.
00:08:22
Speaker
They're woke.
00:08:23
Speaker
Wait, was that sarcasm?
00:08:24
Speaker
And then some.
00:08:25
Speaker
And now this.
00:08:27
Speaker
And now for step
Media Narratives & Personal Relationships
00:08:28
Speaker
two.
00:08:28
Speaker
Topic number two.
00:08:31
Speaker
Didn't think you could despise Jada Pinkett Smith any more than you already did?
00:08:35
Speaker
Wrong!
00:08:36
Speaker
That's wrong!
00:08:38
Speaker
If I may borrow a gimmick from Family Guy.
00:08:41
Speaker
Remember when Will Smith landed the girliest slap on TV that happened to be on live global television and toured supposed friend Chris Rock at the Oscars?
00:08:50
Speaker
And what was clearly a cry for help?
00:08:52
Speaker
And totally revealed their sham marriage?
00:08:54
Speaker
Remember that?
00:08:55
Speaker
Okay.
00:08:56
Speaker
From the Daily Mirror, Jada Pinkett Smith will never leave Will Smith after Oscar's slap saved their marriage.
00:09:04
Speaker
I don't care.
00:09:06
Speaker
Ah, violence and abuse.
00:09:07
Speaker
The cornerstone of a good marriage.
00:09:09
Speaker
It only works when it's towards people other than your spouse.
00:09:12
Speaker
I'm sure humiliated Chris Rock read that and said, Hey, happy to help.
00:09:16
Speaker
Next time things get rocky, maybe you can pants me on live TV.
00:09:20
Speaker
The article says Jada Pinkett Smith has said that she will never leave her husband Will Smith with her sharing that the incident at the Academy Awards last year made her realize that.
00:09:30
Speaker
Why are you telling me this?
00:09:32
Speaker
What makes you think I have any interest in that at all?
00:09:34
Speaker
Will, now 55, confronted comedian Chris Rock, now 58.
00:09:39
Speaker
Don't forget, these are adults approaching 60 years old, folks.
00:09:43
Speaker
At the awards ceremony in March of last year, he stormed onto the stage and slapped Chris Rock, leading to a ban from the event for 10 years and an apology over the incident from Will.
00:09:54
Speaker
And with the exception of Cleveland, this place has the worst security in the nation.
00:09:59
Speaker
Now, if you remember, it was about Jada, now 52, but still needing attention like a 10-year-old, with Chris having suggested that she looked like G.I.
00:10:07
Speaker
Jane.
00:10:08
Speaker
It was in reference to her shaved head, which she previously said was related to hair loss due to alopecia.
00:10:15
Speaker
That's a real sneaky beauty to Jada's plan.
00:10:18
Speaker
She says she will never leave him.
00:10:22
Speaker
So she gets to openly cheat on him, embarrass and humiliate Will.
00:10:27
Speaker
He tarnishes his career defending her honor.
00:10:31
Speaker
And now if Will leaves her, he will look like the bad guy.
00:10:35
Speaker
Because she has declared her devotion.
00:10:37
Speaker
Hello, toxic femininity.
00:10:40
Speaker
The article says Jada, who's been married to Will, with whom she shares two children since 1997, spoke about the incident in an interview with the Daily Mail.
00:10:48
Speaker
She said, I call it the holy slap now because so many positive things came after it.
00:10:55
Speaker
Blah blah fucking psycho bullshit.
00:10:58
Speaker
You hear that, supposed men?
00:11:00
Speaker
All you have to do to prove your love and devotion to your wife is let her openly sleep with other people and have affairs for a good chunk of your marriage, get humiliated often and publicly, assault a friend on TV, be banned from your workplace, in this case the Oscars, and after a year of torture, she will let you stay married to her.
00:11:19
Speaker
She won't leave you.
00:11:20
Speaker
He's a sissy.
00:11:22
Speaker
There, I said that.
00:11:23
Speaker
The article says she suggested that moments of the shit hitting the fan provided an opportunity to see where you really are.
00:11:31
Speaker
Jada went on to suggest that the high profile incident last year gave her some clarity over her relationship with Will.
00:11:38
Speaker
Yeah, they're called moments of clarity.
00:11:41
Speaker
Not a year or so to continue cheating on your spouse, milking in the press, mulling over, and then hit the press again for another shot at attention of clarity.
00:11:49
Speaker
She commented, after all those years trying to figure out if I would leave Will's side, it took that slap for me to see I will never leave him.
00:11:57
Speaker
Can you imagine what shitstorm would happen if a man spoke this way about abuse and cheating on his wife?
00:12:08
Speaker
or if this couple was white.
00:12:12
Speaker
The article says she then teased that it's unclear where their relationship would be now if that hadn't happened.
00:12:19
Speaker
Oh, I know.
00:12:20
Speaker
Nay, the world knows exactly where your relationship would be now if that hadn't happened.
00:12:24
Speaker
He's gay now, if that makes you feel any better.
00:12:27
Speaker
Will would be mentally stable, his career and reputation wouldn't be tarnished, he wouldn't be depressed and humiliated, and you'd be that bald lady who used to be married to Will Smith, followed by the comment, I haven't seen her in anything forever.
00:12:39
Speaker
Are you just gonna joke your way through your entire life?
00:12:43
Speaker
Hey, it's the only way I can keep sane in America, folks.

There's been an odd shift in human behavior over the last 15 plus years.
00:14:16
Speaker
A sense of entitlement.
00:14:17
Speaker
A constant need for attention.
00:14:19
Speaker
Ironically coupled with the need to be left alone.
00:14:22
Speaker
A desire to be treated the same as everyone else.

00:15:20
Speaker
All right, now step three.
00:15:22
Speaker
Topic number three.
00:15:23
Speaker
Hit me!
00:15:26
Speaker
Ladies and gentlemen, this is the last topic of 2023.
00:15:30
Speaker
It's my end-of-the-year open letter to Amateur Nation.
00:15:36
Speaker
Why is it so important for amateur nation to be liked?
00:15:41
Speaker
I'm coming out of the gate with advice for anyone on the left, a liberal, a commie, an amateur.
00:15:47
Speaker
Be a conservative or Republican.
00:15:50
Speaker
Then you won't give a shit about being liked so much.
00:15:53
Speaker
Don't mistake me.
00:15:54
Speaker
You still have to be respectful and polite to people, but you don't have to like everyone and everything.
00:16:01
Speaker
When you don't worry about everyone liking you and celebrating you, you have less stress and anxiety.
00:16:09
Speaker
Here's how this rant, this topic started.
00:16:13
Speaker
I was watching TV the other day and it was a commercial for some prescription drug.
00:16:17
Speaker
The drug should be the most important thing, right?
00:16:19
Speaker
Hey, you suffer from this, here's what will help that.
00:16:22
Speaker
But no, throughout the commercial, they got to show a cross section of every type of person in America suffering from the affliction.
00:16:31
Speaker
every race on the planet, every size of person.
00:16:34
Speaker
They have to show a fat guy, a thin guy, a fat Asian woman, an anorexic Muslim with a limp, a child missing a head, etc.
00:16:42
Speaker
And then it's on to all the various couple combinations.
00:16:45
Speaker
A heterosexual couple, an elderly couple, a mixed race couple, a mixed race elderly couple, and then as always, the gay couple, both male and female, in love.
00:16:55
Speaker
They're holding hands, the sides of their heads touching in care, cuddling up on the couch, or my favorite, cooking together.
00:17:01
Speaker
We have psoriasis!
00:17:02
Speaker
We're gay!
00:17:03
Speaker
Let's make a cake!
00:17:05
Speaker
They gotta hit you over the head with it.
00:17:07
Speaker
Hey, don't forget, there's gay people!
00:17:08
Speaker
Yeah, we know, and we don't care.
00:17:10
Speaker
Can you get back to the medicine that will help me and run down the 50 side effects that will eventually kill me?
00:17:16
Speaker
Okay, just because we don't care about your sex life, or life in general, doesn't mean we don't respect it, and we all can't coexist.
00:17:24
Speaker
For pro-nation, that is.
00:17:25
Speaker
Pro-nation.
00:17:28
Speaker
Amateur Nation simply can't be on the same planet with people who don't have the exact same thoughts, beliefs, anxieties, neuroses.
00:17:38
Speaker
It's a life of literally never being satisfied and certainly not happy.
00:17:43
Speaker
Amateur Nation, do what you want, but we in Pro Nation are never gonna understand it or like it, nor want to understand it, nor have the time to understand your sad life because we're not you.
00:17:57
Speaker
Other people aren't you.
00:18:01
Speaker
You know how you're only attracted to the same sex?
00:18:04
Speaker
Okay, that's us, in reverse.
00:18:06
Speaker
So get over yourselves.
00:18:07
Speaker
You'll be a lot happier if you go through life with the attitude of, go fuck yourself.
00:18:12
Speaker
But you, an amateur nation, you guys give all the fucks.
00:18:15
Speaker
You have no more fucks to give.
00:18:17
Speaker
Literally, you're fucked out.
00:18:19
Speaker
You amateurs care about everything.
00:18:21
Speaker
Everything and everyone is oppressed.
00:18:24
Speaker
Everything and everyone needs respect, salutes, and a specialty recognition day, week, or month of the year.
00:18:29
Speaker
Everyone has to be marching for something or some group of people.
00:18:33
Speaker
And conservatives, pro-nation, we don't give a fuck.
00:18:38
Speaker
We can coexist.
00:18:39
Speaker
without you.
00:18:40
Speaker
You need us, amateurs.
00:18:43
Speaker
We absolutely don't need you.
00:18:45
Speaker
We do all the work.
00:18:46
Speaker
You do all the complaining, rioting, looting, destroying, and shooting crying videos from the front seat of your Priuses.
00:18:52
Speaker
And yet somehow, we pros can have common sense, manners, and good social skills around you because we are smarter, stronger, and more carefree than you.
00:19:01
Speaker
We can be polite, but you're not worth celebrating.
00:19:04
Speaker
No one is.
00:19:06
Speaker
We don't have to like you.
00:19:08
Speaker
No one does.
00:19:11
Speaker
Ditch the oppression, lose the communism, go back to your natural hair color and sex, and make the switch to conservatism in pro-nation.
00:19:20
Speaker
And you, currently wallowing in amateur nation, will be a lot happier.
00:19:24
Speaker
You wonder why you have anxiety?
00:19:25
Speaker
It's because of this shit.
00:19:26
Speaker
You're creating a world where you're not going to like anything and you're taught to not like anything.
00:19:33
Speaker
Amateur nation could find the oppression in a fucking cupcake.
00:19:37
Speaker
Learn to say, you know what?
00:19:39
Speaker
This doesn't affect me.
00:19:40
Speaker
I don't care.
00:19:41
Speaker
And it's okay that I don't have to care about this particular group of people or issue and watch the anxiety melt away.
00:19:50
Speaker
I mean, isn't complaining about and being oppressed by everything physically, mentally, and emotionally exhausting for you?
00:19:57
Speaker
Of course it is.
00:19:58
Speaker
It has to be.
00:19:59
Speaker
Trust us and Pro Nation.
Societal Discussions & Policies
00:20:01
Speaker
We're exhausted hearing your bitching.
00:20:03
Speaker
I complain literally all the time.
00:20:05
Speaker
So we can imagine what it's doing to you.
00:20:07
Speaker
No wonder you shaved your heads and poked your bodies and branded yourselves and wanted to change your genders.
00:20:12
Speaker
You weren't born in the wrong body.
00:20:14
Speaker
You were raised and taught by the wrong people.
00:20:17
Speaker
And now you can't get out of your own way or out of your own head.
00:20:21
Speaker
You're your own worst enemy.
00:20:23
Speaker
I had it in a title a few episodes back.
00:20:25
Speaker
You are your own reason.
00:20:27
Speaker
That's why you suck.
00:20:28
Speaker
Idiot.
00:20:29
Speaker
Again, just because you don't care what other people think, doesn't mean you can treat them like assholes.
00:20:34
Speaker
You have to use common sense, good manners, and good social skills.
00:20:37
Speaker
So once you've made that decision to stop giving a shit and come to the right side, a more relaxed side, the harder working side with the higher reward side,
00:20:47
Speaker
You won't want to go back to your 87 piercings and your oppressive job at Hot Topic and Dreary Outlook.
00:20:52
Speaker
I like everything handed to me.
00:20:54
Speaker
I'm just like a kid.
00:20:56
Speaker
Right, an overgrown kid who can't take care of himself.
00:20:59
Speaker
Not demanding a free ride through life and not campaigning for every oppressed person or group doesn't make you an uncaring person like you think we are in Pro Nation.
00:21:09
Speaker
What it means is now you only care about the important things.
00:21:13
Speaker
your family, your future, your finances, your security, your physical, mental, emotional, and sexual health, and your safety in private and in public.
00:21:26
Speaker
When you, an amateur nation, take care of you and your immediate family, then the government doesn't have to take care of you, and you're more free and relaxed and healthy.
00:21:37
Speaker
That's it.
00:21:38
Speaker
But you guys make major productions out of your fucking pronouns.
00:21:42
Speaker
How are you going to get through the tough stuff in life?
00:21:45
Speaker
If you're a pro listening to this show, I really hope you pass this along to an amateur that you know of that needs a slap in the head verbally.
00:21:54
Speaker
It's that topic and this podcast, frankly.
00:21:57
Speaker
But it's time now for A La Carte.
00:22:00
Speaker
A La Carte.
00:22:07
Speaker
Last a la carte of the year, here we go.
00:22:09
Speaker
You know, New York City is not expensive enough.
00:22:12
Speaker
Don't worry, the city that never gets better will be the first city and state in America, but make no mistake, not the last, to have their carefully marketed and named congestion pricing plan in sucker terms that's pay to drive, New Yorkers.
00:22:28
Speaker
Passenger vehicles, $15 a day.
00:22:30
Speaker
Trucks, $24 to $36 a day.
00:22:31
Speaker
Motorcycles, $750 a day.
00:22:32
Speaker
That's almost $2,800 a year for motorcycle riders, almost $5,500 a year for cars, and for you useless truckers, as much as $13,140 a year.
00:22:48
Speaker
If you average the costs between motorcycles, cars and trucks, that's $17.50 a day times the average of 4.4 million cars a day in New York City.
00:23:01
Speaker
The government only makes $77 million a day or $28,105,000,000 a year.
00:23:11
Speaker
not counting bribes and kickbacks.
00:23:13
Speaker
And I'm sure the city will improve in cleanliness, pollution, traffic, crime, and don't forget mood overnight.
00:23:19
Speaker
If the United States government did it, I'm sure they had a good reason.
00:23:24
Speaker
Some questions.
00:23:25
Speaker
What about visitors?
00:23:26
Speaker
And how exactly do you plan on collecting this money each time someone wants to drive in the congestion zones?
00:23:32
Speaker
I'm sure a convenient microchip will be installed that will automatically deduct that money from your digital bank account.
00:23:38
Speaker
As long as you were nice to people, didn't speak ill of the government, and have all your boosters.
00:23:43
Speaker
Good luck, New Yorkers.
00:23:44
Speaker
Keep voting Democrat, New York.
00:23:45
Speaker
You're doing great.
00:23:46
Speaker
You're next, LA.
00:23:47
Speaker
Just watch.
00:23:48
Speaker
That's a good-looking shithole.
00:23:50
Speaker
Russia has banned George Soros foundations for being a threat to their constitution and security.
00:23:56
Speaker
Hungary now has stopped Soros laws.
00:23:59
Speaker
Pakistan has closed down the Soros foundation.
00:24:03
Speaker
USA?
00:24:03
Speaker
Eh, we're cool with it.
00:24:04
Speaker
I'm not quite sure how something that's just a little tiny prick can be so powerful.
00:24:09
Speaker
Speaking of communism and government overstepping, commie-fornia retailers with 500 or more employees will face $500 fines if they don't have gender-neutral toy sections.
00:24:20
Speaker
California is asshole.
00:24:22
Speaker
What have I been saying?
00:24:24
Speaker
So let me get this straight.
00:24:25
Speaker
If I say something as benign as the word mankind or get some amateur's pronouns wrong, that's oppressive.
00:24:32
Speaker
Don't wear a heavy winter coat around a woman?
00:24:34
Speaker
Ego violence.
00:24:35
Speaker
But racist presidents of major expensive Ivy League universities in America say that as long as you don't commit violence and it doesn't cross into conduct, remember those words, pro-nation, you can spew hate speech towards Jews in the form of calling for an entire extermination of a race of people, and it's okay.
00:24:54
Speaker
Go fuck yourselves.
00:24:55
Speaker
Full stop.
00:24:56
Speaker
I'm a teacher.
00:24:57
Speaker
I'm done learning.
00:24:58
Speaker
Oh, this just in.
00:25:00
Speaker
University of Pennsylvania President Liz McGill and Chairman of the Board of Trustees Scott Bach resigned after Liz's responses to anti-Semitism and after pressure from donors, politicians, and alumni.
00:25:11
Speaker
She said, I was focused on our university's long-standing policies aligned with the U.S. Constitution.
00:25:18
Speaker
which say that speech alone is not punishable.
00:25:22
Speaker
Unless you're a conservative on Twitter or any other social media platform.
00:25:26
Speaker
Or wear a t-shirt that has a conservative belief.
00:25:28
Speaker
Or post a video anywhere.
00:25:30
Speaker
Next on the chopping block, Brown, Columbia, Cornell, MIT, Harvard, Dartmouth, Princeton, and Yale.
00:25:36
Speaker
I'll be fine.
00:25:37
Speaker
I didn't do anything wrong.
00:25:39
Speaker
She said, I was not focused on, but I should have been, the irrefutable fact that a call for genocide of Jewish people is a call for some of the most terrible violence human beings can perpetuate.
00:25:48
Speaker
It's evil, plain and simple.
00:25:51
Speaker
Yeah, but you didn't focus on that.
00:25:53
Speaker
Enjoy your lifetime label of racist.
00:25:55
Speaker
Take a big step back and literally fuck your own face.
00:25:59
Speaker
Attention, amateur nation.
00:26:01
Speaker
Stop marking yourself safe from natural and man-made disasters.
00:26:06
Speaker
It's yet another cry for attention.
00:26:08
Speaker
In case all my 1,256 Facebook and Instagram friends that I never nor will ever meet were losing sleep over it, I'm fine.
Celebrity Commentary & Reactions
00:26:16
Speaker
Don't worry, amateurs.
00:26:17
Speaker
If you are missing or hurt, your closest friends and family will be wondering where you are and maybe come looking for you.
00:26:24
Speaker
Maybe.
00:26:27
Speaker
the black woman caught on camera pouring gas on Martin Luther King's birth home in Atlanta to set it on fire?
00:26:33
Speaker
Of course you didn't.
00:26:34
Speaker
Why would the mainstream media cover a potential fake hate crime hoax story?
00:26:38
Speaker
Who in the media tricked you?
00:26:41
Speaker
Former overrated U.S. women's national soccer team choke artist and well-paid subway spokesman Megan Rapinoe is filing for bankruptcy, crying, nobody will hire me.
00:26:52
Speaker
Don't you hate when you lose your job because of your beliefs and words?
00:26:55
Speaker
What a difference 24 years makes.
00:26:58
Speaker
Brandi Chastain scores the game-winning penalty shot past triple overtime into a shootout to beat China and immortalizing herself as a national hero.
00:27:07
Speaker
Megan Rapinoe chokes in a penalty kick against Sweden, ending her reign of unearned attention.
00:27:13
Speaker
Go woke, then choke, then go broke.
00:27:17
Speaker
I knew I hated you for a good reason.
00:27:19
Speaker
The final three pro things of the year.
00:27:21
Speaker
Three things that are done right.
00:27:23
Speaker
Here we go.
00:27:24
Speaker
Number one.
00:27:26
Speaker
Here's a quickie.
00:27:27
Speaker
This post from alert pro Patrick Bushta on Facebook.
00:27:31
Speaker
I love this.
00:27:32
Speaker
You ready?
00:27:33
Speaker
Want to make everything electric?
00:27:34
Speaker
Start with the border wall.
00:27:37
Speaker
Number two.
00:27:42
Speaker
She's so Raven.
00:27:43
Speaker
Actress Raven-Symoné, having first appeared on the Cosby Show back in the day, here she is, being interviewed by Hollywood elite, rumored child trafficker, and rumored Maui land grabber, morbidly obese Weight Watchers owner Oprah Winfrey.
00:27:56
Speaker
Was she a great big fat person?
00:27:58
Speaker
Yep.
00:27:58
Speaker
still.
00:27:59
Speaker
So here's the audio and I ask, which is more noteworthy?
00:28:04
Speaker
Raven Simone, a black woman, not playing the woke race label game, or the fact that Oprah is literally climbing out of her chair in anxiousness, squirming in the uncomfortability of Raven, not playing the woke race label game.
00:28:20
Speaker
Here we go.
00:28:21
Speaker
Tired of being labeled.
00:28:22
Speaker
I'm an American.
00:28:22
Speaker
I'm not an African American.
00:28:24
Speaker
I'm an American.
00:28:26
Speaker
Oh girl, don't set up the Twitter on fire.
00:28:28
Speaker
I'm sorry.
00:28:29
Speaker
What?
00:28:30
Speaker
I'm sorry.
00:28:31
Speaker
What did you just say?
00:28:32
Speaker
Stop, stop, stop the tape right now.
00:28:35
Speaker
Okay.
00:28:35
Speaker
I will say this.
00:28:36
Speaker
What?
00:28:37
Speaker
I mean, I don't know where my roots go to.
00:28:40
Speaker
I don't know how far back they go.
00:28:41
Speaker
I can't go on, you know, I don't know how far back and I don't know what country in Africa I'm from.
00:28:46
Speaker
But I do know that my roots are in Louisiana.
00:28:49
Speaker
I'm an American.
00:28:51
Speaker
And that's a colorless person, because we are all people.
00:28:54
Speaker
I have lots of things running through my veins.
00:28:57
Speaker
I mean, you're going to get a lot of flack for saying you're not African-American.
00:29:00
Speaker
You know that, right?
00:29:02
Speaker
I don't label myself.
00:29:04
Speaker
OK.
00:29:04
Speaker
So I want you to say what you really mean by that.
00:29:07
Speaker
What I really mean by that is I'm an American.
00:29:12
Speaker
That's what I really mean.
00:29:23
Speaker
Why is Oprah so upset about someone saying and being proud of being just an American?
00:29:31
Speaker
Easy answer.
00:29:32
Speaker
She's a commie.
00:29:33
Speaker
And number three.
Closing Remarks & Listener Engagement
00:29:39
Speaker
Pro thing number three is you, the listener.
00:29:43
Speaker
Before I close out this final episode of the year, I want to thank each and every pro that listens and subscribes and spreads the word.
00:29:49
Speaker
And yes, even the trolling, defensive, full of feelings amateurs that are brave enough to challenge their pre-programmed brains and tune in and live to tell the tale without running to a safe space.
00:30:00
Speaker
I take all emails, messages, suggestions, kind words, threats, challenges, and combative words very seriously.
00:30:07
Speaker
But it doesn't mean I'll always respond or report news and social commentary seriously.
00:30:12
Speaker
Amateur Nation is a nation of people just begging to be ridiculed.
00:30:18
Speaker
They have it coming.
00:30:19
Speaker
You pros know it, and so do they.
00:30:21
Speaker
They have gone on unchallenged for far too long.
00:30:24
Speaker
My book predicted much of amateur nation's behavior, and the prophecies keep being fulfilled to this day.
00:30:29
Speaker
You can download it on Amazon.
00:30:32
Speaker
This show has been described by my fans as gloves off, tell it like it is, and man, you just say it.
00:30:40
Speaker
God bless the First Amendment.
00:30:43
Speaker
This show's mission statement is, we call attention to and call out the amateurs, the people who are doing life wrong.
00:30:53
Speaker
For me, comedy and humor is the thing that makes all my other endeavors, actions, loves, passions, side hustles, kindnesses, motivation, and organization possible.
00:31:04
Speaker
I look for the funny slash comedy through line in just about everything I do, in everyday conversation, even when with strangers.
00:31:13
Speaker
I'm always trying to find the nonsense in this world full of amateurs on this show and in my stand-up comedy.
00:31:18
Speaker
It's what keeps me out of jail and sane and above ground.
00:31:22
Speaker
Comedy and funny are my two best friends.
00:31:26
Speaker
All time.
00:31:27
Speaker
They've never let me down.
00:31:31
Speaker
I sincerely hope you tell someone about this show.
00:31:34
Speaker
I've listened to other podcasts.
00:31:35
Speaker
Sure, some have big budgets and high-profile guests.
00:31:38
Speaker
Many are very serious.
00:31:39
Speaker
But most of them are random neural firings with poor delivery, no writing, no planning, all rambling, little production value, and no showbiz factor, let alone an actual opinion.
00:31:48
Speaker
I like to think my listeners tune in because they want to see what I'll say next or hear what I'll throw under the bus next.
00:31:55
Speaker
This show sometimes wears its heart on its sleeve, consistently delivers common sense via social and news commentary, and plops a nice big heap and hunk of levity on your eardrums every week in the form of sarcasm.
00:32:06
Speaker
And drops, which is necessary to break up all the evil, ridiculous, frustrating, infuriating, senseless, oppressive, tyrannical crap we pros in America have to deal with daily on a local, state, national, and worldwide level.
00:32:23
Speaker
We still have the greatest country in the world, but we won't keep it by doing and saying nothing.
00:32:30
Speaker
Keep listening.
00:32:31
Speaker
Please subscribe and spread the word about this show.
00:32:35
Speaker
It costs you nothing, but could mean everything.
00:32:39
Speaker
This show is a drop in the bucket representing the voices of pros around America.
00:32:43
Speaker
And if we all spill a drop into the bucket of resistance against the globalists and New World Order, we can drown them out of our lives.
00:32:53
Speaker
This is our world.
00:32:55
Speaker
We decide for us.
00:32:59
Speaker
So again, thank you for listening.
00:33:02
Speaker
I'll see you in 2024.
00:33:05
Speaker
The year of the great resist.
00:33:07
Speaker
Amen to that, brother.
00:33:09
Speaker
There's no such thing as bad press, except when it makes me cry.
00:33:13
Speaker
But that's the risk I'm willing to take.
00:33:15
