Speaker: Together, we remember them all.
Speaker: Okay, let's all shut up, please.
Speaker: Warning.
Speaker: The podcast you are about to hear is often based on true events and people.
Speaker: It chronicles the dialogue and actions of random, anonymous, obnoxious, self-entitled, unintelligent, self-centered idiots.
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.
Speaker: In one word, amateurs.
Speaker: Amateurs.
Speaker: It's Amateur Nation with Lou Santini.
Speaker: He's the greatest American hero ever born.
Speaker: I ain't arguing.
Speaker: We call attention to and call out the amateurs.
Speaker: The people who are doing life wrong.
Speaker: The speed bumps of life.
Speaker: The people that are in your way every day.
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.
Speaker: And are disturbing the flow of the pros.
Speaker: Hi, Mom.
Speaker: Oh, hey, Lou.
Speaker: Amateur Nation.
Speaker: It's not just a podcast.
Speaker: It's a movement.
Speaker: The last show of 2023.
Speaker: This is episode 258.
Speaker: The best, most sarcastic, anti-woke, anti-globalist episode of 2023.
Speaker: On today's episode, This Week in Product Fails, Worst Wife Ever, and my end-of-year open letter to amateur nation.
Speaker: Then a few brain bites more on a la carte.
Speaker: Then get your head nodding in agreement and your lips turned upward with the fellow pros on three things that are done right.
Speaker: On three pro things.
Speaker: As always, pro nation first.
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.
Speaker: All checking me out on Instagram.
Speaker: You can do the same at lou.santini3.
Speaker: By the way, I get yearly stats on this show at year's end, and guess what the most popular episode was?
Speaker: Wasn't too far back.
Speaker: Episode 245, Transplaining.
Speaker: It was listened to 213% more than my average episode.
Speaker: Not that any of this show's episodes were average.
Speaker: Your pro post of the week from Russian-American writer Ayn Rand.
Speaker: There is no difference between communism and socialism except in the means of achieving the same ultimate end.
Speaker: Communism proposes to enslave men by force.
Speaker: Socialism by vote.
Speaker: It's merely the difference between murder and suicide.
Speaker: It's the last show of 2023.
Speaker: Here's what's happening in Amateur Nation.
Speaker: Now dig this.
Speaker: Step one.
Speaker: Topic number one.
Speaker: Topic number one.
Speaker: It's time for This Week in Product Fails.
Speaker: First up, maker of 22 different pet foods, Purina.
Speaker: Remember when they made dog and cat chow, and that's all they did?
Speaker: Well, good news, abused women.
Speaker: And yes, men.
Speaker: And yes, you heard me right.
Speaker: Now they're in the abused spouse relocation business.
Speaker: I was watching TV the other day, and a commercial came on.
Speaker: Allow me to describe.
Speaker: Here we have a woman...
Speaker: squatting sadly down on the kitchen floor, picking up dried dog food that has been spilt everywhere.
Speaker: The husband, whose face we never see, has his back to the camera as he does something at the kitchen counter.
Speaker: He's making a sandwich or something.
Speaker: Their dog, caught in the middle of this shit show, stands by timidly waiting for someone to feed him her they.
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.
Speaker: Then the most serious music and graphic a pet food company has ever broadcast.
Speaker: We help create safe spaces for domestic abuse survivors and their pets.
Speaker: Now after some digging, I found out that it's called the Purple Leash Project.
Speaker: What, no rainbow, just purple?
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.
Speaker: Now let me be clear, I am not making fun of domestic abuse victims.
Speaker: Pro Nation understands this.
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.
Speaker: In this case, white men.
Speaker: Don't you know?
Speaker: Every product and service offered now can't focus on their product or service only.
Speaker: They have to support or rally behind some cause.
Speaker: Know what's been missing from kids' cereals?
Speaker: Sexuality, propaganda, and grooming.
Speaker: The latest marketing fail, this time from Kellogg's.
Speaker: You see, they're donating to GLAAD to support their media advocacy work and accelerating acceptance for the LGBTQ LMNOP community.
Speaker: Hey, it's on the box!
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.
Speaker: That's all kids talk about on the playground.
Speaker: Playgrounds, you know, mom and dad, I mean, parental units, playgrounds, those locations where the homeless shoot up and poop.
Speaker: Introducing Together with Pride cereal.
Speaker: That's the name.
Speaker: Mm-mm.
Speaker: Mom, can I have some Together with Pride for breakfast?
Speaker: Did you memorize the latest list of pronouns and genders?
Speaker: Aw, Mom.
Speaker: I mean, parent who ovulates.
Speaker: Hey, your father can ovulate too, young man.
Speaker: Oh, they're already twisted.
Speaker: You'll see all your formerly friendly but now communist characters on the box.
Speaker: Tony the Tiger, now Tony the Tyrant.
Speaker: Snap, Crackle, Pop, now he, her, they.
Speaker: The Sugar Smacks, Dig'em Frog, now the Screw'em Frog.
Speaker: Toucan Sa- not Toucan Sam!
Speaker: That's right, kids.
Speaker: Just follow your orders.
Speaker: Complete with a spot to add your own pronouns on the side of the box.
Speaker: No joke.
Speaker: Sorry, kids.
Speaker: There are only two available lines to add your own pronouns.
Speaker: And the message, boxes are for cereal, not people.
Speaker: Tell that to your funeral director when you're dead at 40 from your 40th COVID booster.
Speaker: Tastes oppressive, now with more anxiety.
Speaker: Full of pandering, attention-starved goodness.
Speaker: And of course, this cereal is heart-shaped and comes in various chemically altered rainbow colors.
Speaker: I found the perfect jingle for it.
Speaker: Be yourself.
Speaker: Be yourself.
Speaker: Be yourself.
Speaker: Boycott Kellogg's.
Speaker: They're woke.
Speaker: Wait, was that sarcasm?
Speaker: And then some.
Speaker: And now this.
Speaker: And now for step two.
Speaker: Topic number two.
Speaker: Didn't think you could despise Jada Pinkett Smith any more than you already did?
Speaker: Wrong!
Speaker: That's wrong!
Speaker: If I may borrow a gimmick from Family Guy.
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?
Speaker: And what was clearly a cry for help?
Speaker: And totally revealed their sham marriage?
Speaker: Remember that?
Speaker: Okay.
Speaker: From the Daily Mirror, Jada Pinkett Smith will never leave Will Smith after Oscar's slap saved their marriage.
Speaker: I don't care.
Speaker: Ah, violence and abuse.
Speaker: The cornerstone of a good marriage.
Speaker: It only works when it's towards people other than your spouse.
Speaker: I'm sure humiliated Chris Rock read that and said, Hey, happy to help.
Speaker: Next time things get rocky, maybe you can pants me on live TV.
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.
Speaker: Why are you telling me this?
Speaker: What makes you think I have any interest in that at all?
Speaker: Will, now 55, confronted comedian Chris Rock, now 58.
Speaker: Don't forget, these are adults approaching 60 years old, folks.
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.
Speaker: And with the exception of Cleveland, this place has the worst security in the nation.
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.
Speaker: Jane.
Speaker: It was in reference to her shaved head, which she previously said was related to hair loss due to alopecia.
Speaker: That's a real sneaky beauty to Jada's plan.
Speaker: She says she will never leave him.
Speaker: So she gets to openly cheat on him, embarrass and humiliate Will.
Speaker: He tarnishes his career defending her honor.
Speaker: And now if Will leaves her, he will look like the bad guy.
Speaker: Because she has declared her devotion.
Speaker: Hello, toxic femininity.
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.
Speaker: She said, I call it the holy slap now because so many positive things came after it.
Speaker: Blah blah fucking psycho bullshit.
Speaker: You hear that, supposed men?
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.
Speaker: She won't leave you.
Speaker: He's a sissy.
Speaker: There, I said that.
Speaker: The article says she suggested that moments of the shit hitting the fan provided an opportunity to see where you really are.
Speaker: Jada went on to suggest that the high profile incident last year gave her some clarity over her relationship with Will.
Speaker: Yeah, they're called moments of clarity.
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.
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.
Speaker: Can you imagine what shitstorm would happen if a man spoke this way about abuse and cheating on his wife?
Speaker: or if this couple was white.
Speaker: The article says she then teased that it's unclear where their relationship would be now if that hadn't happened.
Speaker: Oh, I know.
Speaker: Nay, the world knows exactly where your relationship would be now if that hadn't happened.
Speaker: He's gay now, if that makes you feel any better.
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.
Speaker: Are you just gonna joke your way through your entire life?
Speaker: Hey, it's the only way I can keep sane in America, folks.
Speaker: I travel coast to coast and can work corporate clean or anything goes.

Speaker: A la carte and three pro things soon, but first, my end-of-the-year open letter to Amateur Nation on topic number three next.
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.
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.
Speaker: Text FLAG
Speaker: to 71777 or visit honorandremember.org to learn more.
Speaker: Together, we remember them all.
Speaker: There's been an odd shift in human behavior over the last 15 plus years.
Speaker: A sense of entitlement.
Speaker: A constant need for attention.
Speaker: Ironically coupled with the need to be left alone.
Speaker: A desire to be treated the same as everyone else.
Speaker: Stupidly combined with the mindset of, I'm special, so treat me accordingly.

Speaker: You keep doing your little comedy show.
Speaker: You just have a good time with it.
Speaker: All right, now step three.
Speaker: Topic number three.
Speaker: Hit me!
Speaker: Ladies and gentlemen, this is the last topic of 2023.
Speaker: It's my end-of-the-year open letter to Amateur Nation.
Speaker: Why is it so important for amateur nation to be liked?
Speaker: I'm coming out of the gate with advice for anyone on the left, a liberal, a commie, an amateur.
Speaker: Be a conservative or Republican.
Speaker: Then you won't give a shit about being liked so much.
Speaker: Don't mistake me.
Speaker: You still have to be respectful and polite to people, but you don't have to like everyone and everything.
Speaker: When you don't worry about everyone liking you and celebrating you, you have less stress and anxiety.
Speaker: Here's how this rant, this topic started.
Speaker: I was watching TV the other day and it was a commercial for some prescription drug.
Speaker: The drug should be the most important thing, right?
Speaker: Hey, you suffer from this, here's what will help that.
Speaker: But no, throughout the commercial, they got to show a cross section of every type of person in America suffering from the affliction.
Speaker: every race on the planet, every size of person.
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.
Speaker: And then it's on to all the various couple combinations.
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.
Speaker: They're holding hands, the sides of their heads touching in care, cuddling up on the couch, or my favorite, cooking together.
Speaker: We have psoriasis!
Speaker: We're gay!
Speaker: Let's make a cake!
Speaker: They gotta hit you over the head with it.
Speaker: Hey, don't forget, there's gay people!
Speaker: Yeah, we know, and we don't care.
Speaker: Can you get back to the medicine that will help me and run down the 50 side effects that will eventually kill me?
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.
Speaker: For pro-nation, that is.
Speaker: Pro-nation.
Speaker: Amateur Nation simply can't be on the same planet with people who don't have the exact same thoughts, beliefs, anxieties, neuroses.
Speaker: It's a life of literally never being satisfied and certainly not happy.
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.
Speaker: Other people aren't you.
Speaker: You know how you're only attracted to the same sex?
Speaker: Okay, that's us, in reverse.
Speaker: So get over yourselves.
Speaker: You'll be a lot happier if you go through life with the attitude of, go fuck yourself.
Speaker: But you, an amateur nation, you guys give all the fucks.
Speaker: You have no more fucks to give.
Speaker: Literally, you're fucked out.
Speaker: You amateurs care about everything.
Speaker: Everything and everyone is oppressed.
Speaker: Everything and everyone needs respect, salutes, and a specialty recognition day, week, or month of the year.
Speaker: Everyone has to be marching for something or some group of people.
Speaker: And conservatives, pro-nation, we don't give a fuck.
Speaker: We can coexist.
Speaker: without you.
Speaker: You need us, amateurs.
Speaker: We absolutely don't need you.
Speaker: We do all the work.
Speaker: You do all the complaining, rioting, looting, destroying, and shooting crying videos from the front seat of your Priuses.
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.
Speaker: We can be polite, but you're not worth celebrating.
Speaker: No one is.
Speaker: We don't have to like you.
Speaker: No one does.
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.
Speaker: And you, currently wallowing in amateur nation, will be a lot happier.
Speaker: You wonder why you have anxiety?
Speaker: It's because of this shit.
Speaker: You're creating a world where you're not going to like anything and you're taught to not like anything.
Speaker: Amateur nation could find the oppression in a fucking cupcake.
Speaker: Learn to say, you know what?
Speaker: This doesn't affect me.
Speaker: I don't care.
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.
Speaker: I mean, isn't complaining about and being oppressed by everything physically, mentally, and emotionally exhausting for you?
Speaker: Of course it is.
Speaker: It has to be.
Speaker: Trust us and Pro Nation.
Speaker: We're exhausted hearing your bitching.
Speaker: I complain literally all the time.
Speaker: So we can imagine what it's doing to you.
Speaker: No wonder you shaved your heads and poked your bodies and branded yourselves and wanted to change your genders.
Speaker: You weren't born in the wrong body.
Speaker: You were raised and taught by the wrong people.
Speaker: And now you can't get out of your own way or out of your own head.
Speaker: You're your own worst enemy.
Speaker: I had it in a title a few episodes back.
Speaker: You are your own reason.
Speaker: That's why you suck.
Speaker: Idiot.
Speaker: Again, just because you don't care what other people think, doesn't mean you can treat them like assholes.
Speaker: You have to use common sense, good manners, and good social skills.
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,
Speaker: You won't want to go back to your 87 piercings and your oppressive job at Hot Topic and Dreary Outlook.
Speaker: I like everything handed to me.
Speaker: I'm just like a kid.
Speaker: Right, an overgrown kid who can't take care of himself.
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.
Speaker: What it means is now you only care about the important things.
Speaker: your family, your future, your finances, your security, your physical, mental, emotional, and sexual health, and your safety in private and in public.
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.
Speaker: That's it.
Speaker: But you guys make major productions out of your fucking pronouns.
Speaker: How are you going to get through the tough stuff in life?
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.
Speaker: It's that topic and this podcast, frankly.
Speaker: But it's time now for A La Carte.
Speaker: A La Carte.
Speaker: Last a la carte of the year, here we go.
Speaker: You know, New York City is not expensive enough.
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.
Speaker: Passenger vehicles, $15 a day.
Speaker: Trucks, $24 to $36 a day.
Speaker: Motorcycles, $750 a day.
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.
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.
Speaker: The government only makes $77 million a day or $28,105,000,000 a year.
Speaker: not counting bribes and kickbacks.
Speaker: And I'm sure the city will improve in cleanliness, pollution, traffic, crime, and don't forget mood overnight.
Speaker: If the United States government did it, I'm sure they had a good reason.
Speaker: Some questions.
Speaker: What about visitors?
Speaker: And how exactly do you plan on collecting this money each time someone wants to drive in the congestion zones?
Speaker: I'm sure a convenient microchip will be installed that will automatically deduct that money from your digital bank account.
Speaker: As long as you were nice to people, didn't speak ill of the government, and have all your boosters.
Speaker: Good luck, New Yorkers.
Speaker: Keep voting Democrat, New York.
Speaker: You're doing great.
Speaker: You're next, LA.
Speaker: Just watch.
Speaker: That's a good-looking shithole.
Speaker: Russia has banned George Soros foundations for being a threat to their constitution and security.
Speaker: Hungary now has stopped Soros laws.
Speaker: Pakistan has closed down the Soros foundation.
Speaker: USA?
Speaker: Eh, we're cool with it.
Speaker: I'm not quite sure how something that's just a little tiny prick can be so powerful.
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.
Speaker: California is asshole.
Speaker: What have I been saying?
Speaker: So let me get this straight.
Speaker: If I say something as benign as the word mankind or get some amateur's pronouns wrong, that's oppressive.
Speaker: Don't wear a heavy winter coat around a woman?
Speaker: Ego violence.
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.
Speaker: Go fuck yourselves.
Speaker: Full stop.
Speaker: I'm a teacher.
Speaker: I'm done learning.
Speaker: Oh, this just in.
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.
Speaker: She said, I was focused on our university's long-standing policies aligned with the U.S. Constitution.
Speaker: which say that speech alone is not punishable.
Speaker: Unless you're a conservative on Twitter or any other social media platform.
Speaker: Or wear a t-shirt that has a conservative belief.
Speaker: Or post a video anywhere.
Speaker: Next on the chopping block, Brown, Columbia, Cornell, MIT, Harvard, Dartmouth, Princeton, and Yale.
Speaker: I'll be fine.
Speaker: I didn't do anything wrong.
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.
Speaker: It's evil, plain and simple.
Speaker: Yeah, but you didn't focus on that.
Speaker: Enjoy your lifetime label of racist.
Speaker: Take a big step back and literally fuck your own face.
Speaker: Attention, amateur nation.
Speaker: Stop marking yourself safe from natural and man-made disasters.
Speaker: It's yet another cry for attention.
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.
Speaker: Don't worry, amateurs.
Speaker: If you are missing or hurt, your closest friends and family will be wondering where you are and maybe come looking for you.
Speaker: Maybe.
Speaker: the black woman caught on camera pouring gas on Martin Luther King's birth home in Atlanta to set it on fire?
Speaker: Of course you didn't.
Speaker: Why would the mainstream media cover a potential fake hate crime hoax story?
Speaker: Who in the media tricked you?
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.
Speaker: Don't you hate when you lose your job because of your beliefs and words?
Speaker: What a difference 24 years makes.
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.
Speaker: Megan Rapinoe chokes in a penalty kick against Sweden, ending her reign of unearned attention.
Speaker: Go woke, then choke, then go broke.
Speaker: I knew I hated you for a good reason.
Speaker: The final three pro things of the year.
Speaker: Three things that are done right.
Speaker: Here we go.
Speaker: Number one.
Speaker: Here's a quickie.
Speaker: This post from alert pro Patrick Bushta on Facebook.
Speaker: I love this.
Speaker: You ready?
Speaker: Want to make everything electric?
Speaker: Start with the border wall.
Speaker: Number two.
Speaker: She's so Raven.
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.
Speaker: Was she a great big fat person?
Speaker: Yep.
Speaker: still.
Speaker: So here's the audio and I ask, which is more noteworthy?
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.
Speaker: Here we go.
Speaker: Tired of being labeled.
Speaker: I'm an American.
Speaker: I'm not an African American.
Speaker: I'm an American.
Speaker: Oh girl, don't set up the Twitter on fire.
Speaker: I'm sorry.
Speaker: What?
Speaker: I'm sorry.
Speaker: What did you just say?
Speaker: Stop, stop, stop the tape right now.
Speaker: Okay.
Speaker: I will say this.
Speaker: What?
Speaker: I mean, I don't know where my roots go to.
Speaker: I don't know how far back they go.
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.
Speaker: But I do know that my roots are in Louisiana.
Speaker: I'm an American.
Speaker: And that's a colorless person, because we are all people.
Speaker: I have lots of things running through my veins.
Speaker: I mean, you're going to get a lot of flack for saying you're not African-American.
Speaker: You know that, right?
Speaker: I don't label myself.
Speaker: OK.
Speaker: So I want you to say what you really mean by that.
Speaker: What I really mean by that is I'm an American.
Speaker: That's what I really mean.
Speaker: Why is Oprah so upset about someone saying and being proud of being just an American?
Speaker: Easy answer.
Speaker: She's a commie.
Speaker: And number three.
Speaker: Pro thing number three is you, the listener.
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.
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.
Speaker: I take all emails, messages, suggestions, kind words, threats, challenges, and combative words very seriously.
Speaker: But it doesn't mean I'll always respond or report news and social commentary seriously.
Speaker: Amateur Nation is a nation of people just begging to be ridiculed.
Speaker: They have it coming.
Speaker: You pros know it, and so do they.
Speaker: They have gone on unchallenged for far too long.
Speaker: My book predicted much of amateur nation's behavior, and the prophecies keep being fulfilled to this day.
Speaker: You can download it on Amazon.
Speaker: This show has been described by my fans as gloves off, tell it like it is, and man, you just say it.
Speaker: God bless the First Amendment.
Speaker: This show's mission statement is, we call attention to and call out the amateurs, the people who are doing life wrong.
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.
Speaker: I look for the funny slash comedy through line in just about everything I do, in everyday conversation, even when with strangers.
Speaker: I'm always trying to find the nonsense in this world full of amateurs on this show and in my stand-up comedy.
Speaker: It's what keeps me out of jail and sane and above ground.
Speaker: Comedy and funny are my two best friends.
Speaker: All time.
Speaker: They've never let me down.
Speaker: I sincerely hope you tell someone about this show.
Speaker: I've listened to other podcasts.
Speaker: Sure, some have big budgets and high-profile guests.
Speaker: Many are very serious.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Speaker: We still have the greatest country in the world, but we won't keep it by doing and saying nothing.
Speaker: Keep listening.
Speaker: Please subscribe and spread the word about this show.
Speaker: It costs you nothing, but could mean everything.
Speaker: This show is a drop in the bucket representing the voices of pros around America.
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.
Speaker: This is our world.
Speaker: We decide for us.
Speaker: So again, thank you for listening.
Speaker: I'll see you in 2024.
Speaker: The year of the great resist.
Speaker: Amen to that, brother.
Speaker: There's no such thing as bad press, except when it makes me cry.
Speaker: But that's the risk I'm willing to take.
