Speaker: Welcome to the show.

Speaker: Welcome to the show.

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, 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.

Speaker: In one word, amateurs.

Speaker: Hmm.

Speaker: It's Amateur Nation with Lou Santini.

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 chipped 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.

Speaker: Hi, Mom.

Speaker: Oh, hey, Lou.

Speaker: Amateur Nation.

Speaker: It's not just a podcast.

Speaker: It's a movement.

Speaker: And this is episode 253.

Speaker: Amateur Nation.

Speaker: Not smart, just loud.

Speaker: On today's episode, why pride in Amateur Nation is, well, amateur.

Speaker: Millions each year are killed by hurtful emojis.

Speaker: And this week in New World Order crap that we told you was coming way back when they pressured you into wearing masks and getting the untested gene experiment.

Speaker: Then, are you going to eat that on a la carte?

Speaker: And just when you've given up hope, I hit you with three things that are done right on Three Pro Things.

Speaker: As always, shouts out to Pro Nation first, Robbie Goldfinch, Charlotte, Rob Lachelt, Yvette Reese-Griffith, Dean Poidovin, Jay Barsky, Justin Taylor, Ryan E. Lawn, and Christopher Walton all following me and checking my stuff out on Instagram.

Speaker: You can do the same, lou.santini3.

Speaker: Your post of the week, and it's a mic drop for sure, posted by Shane Zettelmeyer on Instagram.

Speaker: This quote said by Lieutenant Colonel Jeff Cooper.

Speaker: If violent crime is to be curbed, it is only the intended victim who can do it.

Speaker: The felon does not fear the police, and he fears neither judge nor jury.

Speaker: Therefore, what he must be taught to fear is his victim.

Speaker: Here's what's happening in Amateur Nation.

Speaker: Now dig this.

Speaker: Step one.

Speaker: Topic number one.

Speaker: Let's talk about pride.

Speaker: No, I don't mean the LGBTQ LMNOP parades and flags.

Speaker: Well, kinda.

Speaker: I'm talking about this overall virtue signaling of being supposedly proud of whatever it is you come from, believe in, subscribe to, adhere to, or practice.

Speaker: Alright, let's start with the amateurs protesting and marching in support of Hamas.

Speaker: These mostly millennials marching in protest supporting Hamas.

Speaker: Make no mistake.

Speaker: These are not Hamas supporters.

Speaker: These are misguided, sad, unfulfilled, brainwashed amateurs, some of which who are bribed and who are on to the next thing against which to protest.

Speaker: It's fashion.

Speaker: It's trendy.

Speaker: Don't agree?

Speaker: Where was all this fervor before Hamas?

Speaker: The war in Israel.

Speaker: Why no protests then?

Speaker: Why didn't we hear about freeing Palestine until now?

Speaker: For the same reason these amateurs didn't know about Ukraine or George Floyd.

Speaker: The media didn't tell them to be angry and George Soros wasn't funding the protests.

Speaker: Period.

Speaker: Shame on you, absent parents.

Speaker: Beyond pathetic.

Speaker: And now this proud to be whatever nationality or heritage you are.

Speaker: Proud to be black, proud to be white, Laotian, an Eskimo, proud to be gay, trans, non-binary, bow-legged, left-handed, an allergy sufferer, whatever.

Speaker: That's all well and good.

Speaker: But what about this?

Speaker: Can you really be proud of something fictional, faked, or something of which you have had no control over?

Speaker: I understand being a proud American because that means you understand and appreciate the rights and privileges and the freedoms that you have, and you understand the responsibility that comes with protecting and preserving those freedoms, rights, privileges, or responsibilities with it, whether you were born here or earned your right as an American and passed the citizenship test.

Speaker: But to be proud to be a race or color that you had no control over is no different than being proud to be the height that you are.

Speaker: You can't control your height besides putting on some heels.

Speaker: Okay, when the World Cup comes on, cheer for your country, but I'd cheer for other countries too based on their skills, never their race.

Speaker: You could be proud that you lost a lot of weight, proud to be a hard worker, proud to earn that raise you got, proud to be a veteran, having served your country and having made the ultimate sacrifice, even if you didn't engage in battle.

Speaker: Let me be clear about that.

Speaker: Proud to be a good dad, a good mom, a good husband, a good wife, a good son, a good daughter.

Speaker: Proud to be a good provider for your family.

Speaker: Proud to be the first in your family to graduate college.

Speaker: Proud to be on the dean's list.

Speaker: Proud of your familial work or lifetime accomplishments.

Speaker: Proud to be a pro.

Speaker: Proud to be a good employee, a good boss.

Speaker: Proud to be an ethical business owner.

Speaker: But enough with being proud to be things that you have no control over.

Speaker: You didn't accomplish anything.

Speaker: You were born.

Speaker: And now this.

Speaker: And now for step two.

Speaker: Topic number two.

Speaker: It's time for This Week in Amateur Nation Week This.

Speaker: Saw this everywhere on Instagram.

Speaker: This amateur millennial who says that Apple needs, his words, needs to ban the meat emoji because, take a guess, it's offensive to vegans.

Speaker: Would a prepubescent girl be able to kick your ass?

Speaker: Needs, folks.

Speaker: Apple needs to do this for him.

Speaker: It's critical, crucial for humanity because this coddled boy pretending to be a man who didn't get enough attention or actually probably too much attention and coddling as a child now speaks for all vegans.

Speaker: Listen to this no life literally has zero problems in life, can't bench press a cell phone size, extra small baby gap t-shirt with still plenty of wiggle room wearing amateur plead his nothing case.

Speaker: Those emojis honestly should be illegal.

Speaker: I've been emailing Apple every single day to remove the meat emojis from the iPhones, and they're not doing it.

Speaker: I don't know why they're not doing it.

Speaker: I've been emailing them every single day to stop putting the meat emojis in the phones.

Speaker: Like, it should be illegal.

Speaker: It's offensive to me, and it's triggering to people like me who are vegan.

Speaker: It is so triggering, and I don't know why they don't take them off the iPhone because they're so triggering.

Speaker: They are so triggering.

Speaker: Some of this isn't your fault.

Speaker: I mean, a man can only take so many wedgies before he goes to pieces.

Speaker: Good job, parents.

Speaker: By the way, you can love your kids and be a bad parent.

Speaker: Just because you procreated doesn't mean you're good at parenting.

Speaker: In most cases, the love is built in when you have a child.

Speaker: Being a good parent.

Speaker: That takes time, skill, discipline, patience, monitoring, and don't forget intelligence.

Speaker: And it's a lifelong job.

Speaker: There are too many free-range children out there who are now adults.

Speaker: Well, they're children in adult bodies, like this amateur.

Speaker: How hard would you like to punch this young amateur?

Speaker: I know, it's hate speech and ego violence and toxic masculinity and climate change and somehow I'm sure it's racist.

Speaker: Here's the good news.

Speaker: Even though you would like to punch this embarrassment to his parents, you wouldn't have to.

Speaker: All you'd have to do is cock your arm back while making a fist and he'd start bleeding.

Speaker: Maybe Darwin was right.

Speaker: Nature really does weed out the nimrods.

Speaker: This is the target audience of Hamas.

Speaker: Democrats, Bill Gates, the WEF, the CDC, all entities that deal in fear.

Speaker: Fear works on the most easily scared, the weak, the physically and mentally and emotionally weak, this paper cut of a human being.

Speaker: I've said it before and I'll say it again.

Speaker: He and his kind won't live past 40, which is what the NWO wants.

Speaker: They need them alive long enough to vote and protest and cause distractions.

Speaker: And don't forget to consume.

Speaker: But they sure as hell can't use them as workers unless they work from home in the dark because light triggers them.

Speaker: Why can't an amateur say something like this while I'm on stage or in my everyday life?

Speaker: Easy answer.

Speaker: These amateurs only spout off like this behind the safety of the internet and on social media, filming their crises in the front seats of their Nissan Leaks, or is it Leeds, or most likely their parents' basements when their parents are at work.

Speaker: Actually, their parents are at a bar drinking to forget about the lifelong mistake they made in creating these drains on society.

Speaker: Wow, you are just a bundle of rage.

Speaker: As alert pro Kimberly Lynn on Instagram perfectly stated, We really picked a bad generation to start a World War III.

Speaker: They can't even fight anxiety from being called a wrong pronoun.

Speaker: Instagram at lou.santini3.

Speaker: Truth Social at lou.santini.

Speaker: Same with my YouTube channel.

Speaker: My Dry Bar Comedy special, drybarcomedy.com slash L-O-U-S.

Speaker: When you follow me on Instagram, Truth Social, and or Facebook, I bonus tease you with plenty of audiograms for next week's topics throughout the week.

Speaker: Thursdays are Sneak Peek Thursday, giving you a 60-second video trailer of what's coming on the next episode.

Speaker: My main website is lou.santini.com.

Speaker: a la carte and three pro things soon.

Speaker: But first, this week in New World Order crap that we told you was coming way back when they pressured you into wearing masks and getting the untested gene experiment on topic number three, coming up next.

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

Speaker: DrybarComedy.com slash Lou S. Amateur Nation is not just a podcast, it's a movement.

Speaker: The Honor and Remember flag is a nationally recognized symbol that sends a message of appreciation for the sacrifice made

Speaker: 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 to 71777 or visit honorandremember.org to learn more.

Speaker: Together, we remember them all.

Speaker: Back to you, fuckers.

Speaker: All right, now step three.

Speaker: Topic number three.

Speaker: Hit me!

Speaker: It's time for... This week in New World Order crap that we told you was coming way back when they pressured you into wearing masks and getting the untested gene experiment.

Speaker: Yes, it's a long title.

Speaker: First up, as found on Mind of Resistance on Instagram, Satan's mentor, Klaus Schwab, with this word salad of evil.

Speaker: Notice how he speaks for all of Earth.

Speaker: Notice how he never gives a public speech in America?

Speaker: Never has a debate with opposing viewpoints and experts?

Speaker: Insulated much?

Speaker: Listen to this thumb look-alike.

Speaker: We have now a window of opportunity to create this global reset which we all need.

Speaker: This global reset is necessary because we have seen that our policies which we pursued before the coronavirus struck us, that those policies do not create the necessary inclusion of society necessary for harmonious societal development.

Speaker: And they do not create the sustainability of what we are doing.

Speaker: Just think of the global warming.

Speaker: Technologies of the fourth industrial revolution.

Speaker: I'm thinking here of artificial intelligence.

Speaker: I'm thinking of the Internet of Things, of the new capabilities we have with genetic engineering,

Speaker: Those technologies have been very much advanced by the pandemic.

Speaker: We know that many of the world's problems can only be solved if we apply new technologies.

Speaker: And I'm happy to see China putting high importance on developing its four industries.

Speaker: We have a great opportunity at this moment, like we had after World War II, to have in some way a new beginning in our global cooperation, in globalization, in managing our global affairs.

Speaker: Oh, he's fun, right?

Speaker: And he loves what China's doing.

Speaker: No shit.

Speaker: He said, we are in this window of opportunity to create this global reset.

Speaker: Oh, you mean until Trump gets back into office and or while the world isn't quite on the verge of mass revolt.

Speaker: A global reset, which we all need.

Speaker: You know, all I've been talking about for decades with my friends and family is, when the hell are we going to have a global reset already?

Speaker: What are we waiting for?

Speaker: You just can't go anywhere without people asking for it and wanting it, right?

Speaker: He said it's necessary because the policies before with coronavirus didn't create the inclusion of society.

Speaker: Okay, well, that explains basically nothing.

Speaker: Isn't it great how one man on Earth has the solution for a better life?

Speaker: The problem that they caused didn't solve their problem that they caused.

Speaker: And still, with the global warming, he almost said it like he believed it.

Speaker: He spoke of it like he's reading his grocery list.

Speaker: You'd think if it was so dire, he'd have a little more urgency in his voice.

Speaker: Oh my God!

Speaker: The Earth is getting so hot!

Speaker: I can see the bottom of the ocean a mile out!

Speaker: Mount Everest has no snow on it!

Speaker: Hide!

Speaker: Run!

Speaker: Genetic engineering?

Speaker: That is a good thing.

Speaker: Just look at the great results and successes of the untested gene experiment.

Speaker: No mistakes there.

Speaker: And all the greatly improved mental health of the transgender sexual reassignment surgeries and hormone treatments on children.

Speaker: And who doesn't love a nice, thick, medium-rare synthetic steak?

Speaker: Motherfucker, you assholes can't even cure the common cold.

Speaker: Oh, hey, Klaus?

Speaker: Your mother sucks fucking big fucking elephant dicks.

Speaker: You tell him, Joe.

Speaker: In other oppression news, more lies from the World Economic Forum about the digital euro.

Speaker: Here's president of the European Central Bank, Christine, no really, I've seen a penis once, Lagarde, saying you will have a choice when digital currency makes you a slave.

Speaker: The digital euro is on the move.

Speaker: Yesterday, the governing council of the ECB approved the opening of the preparation phase.

Speaker: It will be a journey.

Speaker: and we will walk the journey together with the legislator.

Speaker: All European institutions will be involved to make sure that Europe is equipped with the currency of the future.

Speaker: Cash is here to stay.

Speaker: You will have all options, cash and digital cash.

Speaker: So what does it mean for you?

Speaker: For consumers, it would be free and easy to use

Speaker: Everywhere in the Euro area.

Speaker: All of that, of course, is subject to the legislative process.

Speaker: Cash or digital, the choice will be yours.

Speaker: Your Euro, your choice.

Speaker: I don't know what the heck's going on here, but someone needs to get their asses kicked.

Speaker: Every person in the WEF is such a dynamic, positive, warm, happy person, aren't they?

Speaker: Remember when the people of Europe voted on that?

Speaker: Remember when the idea of digital currency was brought up in a public forum for any and all of Europe's citizens to sit down with these tyrants and ask questions about it and then vote on it?

Speaker: Me neither.

Speaker: Now I'm off to watch V for Vendetta.

Speaker: And if cash is here to stay, and they will have a choice, then what's the point of introducing an entirely new non-bank backed currency?

Speaker: Oh, that's right, convenience.

Speaker: Yeah, convenient for the controllers of it.

Speaker: Hey, Christine.

Speaker: Take a big step back and literally fuck your own face!

Speaker: You tell her, Tom.

Speaker: Okay, time for some bite-sized nibbles of Amateur Nation.

Speaker: It's time for a la carte.

Speaker: Here we go.

Speaker: I notice we're still calling it Black Friday.

Speaker: What, no whining, Amateur Nation?

Speaker: No outrage?

Speaker: Protests?

Speaker: Looting?

Speaker: Where's the looting, children?

Speaker: Wait, I'm sure that's coming.

Speaker: Why are we used to our phones eavesdropping on our conversations?

Speaker: Why are we used to having our privacy invaded at every turn?

Speaker: We talk about something with friends on our phone, show ads, or posts in line with our conversation.

Speaker: That should simply be illegal, period.

Speaker: Back in the day before the internet, if you talked about something and five days later something came in the mail about the same subject, you would have lost your mind.

Speaker: It's science run amok.

Speaker: The country that taught the world how to eat, Italy, has become the first nation in the world to ban Bill, trust me, it's edible, Gates' fake synthetic meat.

Speaker: It's wrong on humans and it's wrong on animals.

Speaker: Looks like Italy has told Bill Gates, sukiallo, that he'd suck it.

Speaker: Oh, did you know all social media fact checkers are pedophiles?

Speaker: Here's a quote I found.

Speaker: America is not sending their best and brightest to Washington, D.C.

Speaker: Hey, I didn't say it.

Speaker: I know it, but I didn't say that.

Speaker: Guess who did?

Speaker: Pennsylvania Senator John How Do Pants Work Fetterman.

Speaker: Body positivity, a.k.a.

Speaker: body denial.

Speaker: Childhood-ruining corporation Disney is delaying Snow White until 2025 after they got heat for their Woke remake.

Speaker: And they scrapped their diversity creatures.

Speaker: Snow White and the seven diversity creatures.

Speaker: They scrapped their diversity creatures in favor of CGI dwarves that look similar to the original.

Speaker: What is this shit?

Speaker: Here's an idea, overpaid Disney execs.

Speaker: Simply remaster the audio and video of the original Snow White and re-release that.

Speaker: Watch the money flow in for a fraction of the cost.

Speaker: By the way, Disney Plus has merged with Hulu because it wasn't enough to ruin their own company.

Speaker: I admit it, this episode's about a 10 on the old snark-o-meter.

Speaker: All right, time for three pro things, three things that are done right.

Speaker: Number one.

Speaker: First up, this pro thing is a reveal of America's youth going to college, posted by Heritage Foundation on Instagram.

Speaker: This is important.

Speaker: Listen up.

Speaker: Campus radicals, what do they do for a living?

Speaker: What careers do they go on to?

Speaker: Well, we've looked into it.

Speaker: Jason Bedrick and I were curious about where all these campus radicals go when they leave school.

Speaker: Now they're marching around and chanting in support of Hamas.

Speaker: Every Palestinian is a citizen, even if they hold arms.

Speaker: Do they go on to responsible careers or do they end up in their parents' basement?

Speaker: Well, we got some idea of this by going back and looking at a sample of 300 campus radicals.

Speaker: And we looked at what do they do after they graduate?

Speaker: What kinds of careers do they go on to?

Speaker: And we found that 38% of them went on to careers in education, 28% in higher education, 10% in K-12.

Speaker: This is twice as many as go into careers of activism.

Speaker: This is the long march through our institutions of campus radicals going on

Speaker: to become teachers to recruit more campus radicals.

Speaker: So if we want to put an end to this, then we're going to have to recapture our institutions of learning and turn them into places that serve our values and that actually focus on education.

Speaker: Number two.

Speaker: Well, it makes me sad to report this.

Speaker: but happy at the same time because it is a pro thing and one of my favorite things in life.

Speaker: Sadly, the 2023 NHRA season is over, but it was a great season.

Speaker: The final race happened in Pomona, California, November 12th, and man, that was a great final day of racing.

Speaker: I was really rooting for Greg Anderson in pro stock, but Erica Enders earned her sixth world championship.

Speaker: Watching new Pro Stock Motorcycle World Champ Gage Herrera and Eddie Krawick exchange revs at the starting line put a smile on my face.

Speaker: Clearly, Gage Herrera is the new measuring stick in Pro Stock Motorcycle.

Speaker: I called it way back earlier in the season, but it really was no surprise to anyone.

Speaker: In one word, domination.

Speaker: He also had to set the track record at Pomona on his way out.

Speaker: Matt Smith Racing had a rough year, but the big story, in my opinion, is his wife, Angie Smith, who just a month or so ago crashed at 198 miles an hour, breaking both feet and needing skin grafts, and has been on the bike in the last two races of the season.

Speaker: Meanwhile, Amateur Nation whines about the pronouns.

Speaker: Angie Smith is one badass woman.

Speaker: Then there's my favorite up-and-comer, funny car driver Chad Green.

Speaker: Had he had a few more bits of good luck slash good breaks in the regular season, he would have been in the top three and I'd look for him to be a serious threat next year.

Speaker: Seeing him win in his 50th drag race ever at Pomona and help Matt Hagen snag the Funny Car World Championship due to the points all in the same day,

Speaker: Made for another smile-inducing day.

Speaker: And Matt Hagen now is a four-time Funny Car World Champion.

Speaker: And while I would have been fine with Matt Hagen's teammate Leah Pruitt winning in top fuel for the rarity of two classes owned by the same team winning a world championship in the same year, a team that has very young ownership in Tony Stewart, she threw down and has no reason to hang her head.

Speaker: Both gave a great drag race.

Speaker: I was thrilled for her.

Speaker: for legendary drag racer Doug Kalitta.

Speaker: 26 years of racing, six-time world champion runner-up, and he finally got the big trophy.

Speaker: I love two things on drag racing, the underdog and the old guy.

Speaker: This win is an absolute example of perseverance.

Speaker: I've always said drag racing is all about life lessons.

Speaker: Other drivers may have had more world championships, but to me, it means more.

Speaker: that he stuck it out and competed against a younger field that often sports better reaction times on the line.

Speaker: Other drivers might have given up and walked away after 10 or 20 years of coming up empty and trying.

Speaker: With just a few weeks left in the season, Doug Coletta had a tire that blew up so hard it destroyed his car.

Speaker: And he had to finish the season in a backup car.

Speaker: In fact, he had to go to a backup car in the same day in the next race.

Speaker: And he had been driving that backup car since.

Speaker: No biggie.

Speaker: Best thing that ever happened to him.

Speaker: The man personifies level-headedness and professionalism.

Speaker: He is well-respected.

Speaker: This legend deserved a world championship.

Speaker: It's like the circle of drag racing life came full circle.

Speaker: And Leah Pruitt will be back, make no mistake.

Speaker: And let's not forget how the NHRA saluted our veterans and the sportsmanship displayed by all those who lost and got eliminated as they congratulated their opponents.

Speaker: You don't see that much in the big four sports.

Speaker: Let the drag racing hangover begin.

Speaker: 231 days until I hear this glorious sound at Norwalk, Ohio.

Speaker: And don't forget, God drives top fuel.

Speaker: Number three.

Speaker: I talk a lot about aggravating, tense, and yes, negative stuff happening in America and the world on this show.

Speaker: This is why I always end the show with three pro things, even if it means something positive that calls out the negative.

Speaker: But I also like to bring to light good, honest, positive products, services, events, and any other artful, creative endeavors.

Speaker: If you listen to this show regularly, you know I'm a metalhead at heart.

Speaker: But I listen to all types, genres, and styles of music.

Speaker: When I worked at my third radio station, Rock 107 WRQK in Canton, Ohio, I did everything I could to get many local rock bands on the air and help them put bodies into the rock clubs where they performed.

Speaker: Well, now that I have this show, I like to make the most of that opportunity again.

Speaker: This time, giving some airtime, so to speak, to a very talented musician in Northeast Ohio, Chris Wintrip.

Speaker: Chris is the founder of the Guitar Academy, and as he describes it, the Guitar Academy began in my living room when a handful of my students and friends got together to work on their guitar-playing chops and live music scenarios with other guitar players, bass, guitar, and drums.

Speaker: The idea bloomed and expanded rapidly.

Speaker: The Guitar Academy's mission is to orchestrate all genres of music, giving the students a chance to perform and learn to improvise while developing their skills and learning the theory behind the music.

Speaker: Now, Chris Wintrip recently released a single on WKM Records entitled Ruby, composed by Chris Wintrip and Kevin DeSimone.

Speaker: It's described as a funky, upbeat groove that'll get your toes tapping.

Speaker: Chris's son, Chris Jr., is on drums, Warren Henry on bass, Robert Estelle on sax, and Robert Johnson on keyboards.

Speaker: Chris says that his passion for music is inspired by his love for his wife, Kelly, and their family.

Speaker: Here's Ruby by guitarist Chris Wintrip featuring Bob James.

Speaker: I'll tell you where you can get more info on this talented man after the song.

Speaker: You can go on YouTube and search Chris Windtrip Ruby and like it.

Speaker: Also, windtripband.com.

Speaker: On Facebook, it's Windtrip Band Official.

Speaker: And on Instagram, windtrip underscore band.

Speaker: And on X, at windtrip, W-I-N-T-R-I-P.

Speaker: My Drybar special is blowing up.
