Symbolism of the Honor and Remember Flag
00:00:34
Speaker
The Honor and Remember flag is a nationally recognized symbol that sends a message of appreciation for the sacrifice made
00:00:42
Speaker
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.
00:01:24
Speaker
Welcome to the show.
Podcast Introduction and Audience Acknowledgment
00:01:55
Speaker
It's Amateur Nation with Lou Santini.
00:01:58
Speaker
What's your name, sir?
00:02:00
Speaker
I just said Lou Santini.
00:02:02
Speaker
We call attention to and call out the amateurs.
00:02:05
Speaker
The people who are doing life wrong.
00:02:07
Speaker
The speed bumps of life.
00:02:09
Speaker
The people that are in your way every day.
00:02:11
Speaker
The unintelligent, obnoxious, attention-warring, 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...
00:02:23
Speaker
are disturbing the flow of the pros.
00:02:27
Speaker
Hi, Mom.
00:02:27
Speaker
Oh, hey, Lou.
00:02:28
Speaker
Amateur Nation, it's not just a podcast, it's a movement.
00:02:32
Speaker
And this is episode 240.
00:02:34
Speaker
Amateur Nation cannot be shamed enough.
00:02:39
Speaker
On today's episode, Boycott the Rainbow, What the Hell is with Women's Voices Nowadays, and this weekend, Things That Make You Go, Hmm.
00:02:47
Speaker
Plus, as always, a la carte and three pro things.
00:02:51
Speaker
Pro Nation first, shouts out to atzeb22 and atnaomifive on Truth Social.
00:02:57
Speaker
Scott Vertabaugh, I hope I'm saying your name right, sir, checking me out on Facebook.
00:03:01
Speaker
And Gazeel Luis Colon-Dariano, Emma Jackson, and Real Young Grev following me on Instagram.
00:03:09
Speaker
Your post of the week before we get started from Sean Davis on Instagram.
00:03:14
Speaker
I love this.
00:03:15
Speaker
If you want to know how much the ruling regime hates you, remember that they refused to spend $7 billion to build a border wall and then refused to cut you a check for $2,000 after it locked you in your house, banned your kids from school, and got you fired from work over a virus which it paid the Chinese Communist Party to create.
Tribute to Johnny Hardwick
00:03:37
Speaker
Meanwhile, the country that paid off the Biden family gets $150 billion and you're not even allowed to ask why.
00:03:46
Speaker
And before we launch into the three topics, a sad note.
00:03:50
Speaker
If you're a regular listener of this show, you know I like to keep things interesting and often I like to add levity to certain topics by throwing in funny and or fitting audio drops from various TV shows and movies now and then.
00:04:03
Speaker
One of my favorite sources is from the TV show King of the Hill.
00:04:07
Speaker
I'm sad to report that the voice of Dale Gribble, Hank Hill's conspiracy fanatical neighbor and friend, voiced by Johnny Hardwick, died at age 64 recently.
00:04:17
Speaker
No evidence of foul play or cause of death has been determined.
00:04:19
Speaker
You're asking me if I have theories?
00:04:24
Speaker
Rest in peace, Dale.
00:04:25
Speaker
And you too, Johnny.
00:04:27
Speaker
I'll try to throw in as many Dale drops as I can in today's episode.
Skittles Pride Packaging Backlash
00:04:31
Speaker
Here's what's happening in Amateur Nation.
00:04:33
Speaker
Perhaps you had better start from the beginning.
00:04:35
Speaker
Step one.
00:04:36
Speaker
Topic number one.
00:04:40
Speaker
Taste the rainbow.
00:04:42
Speaker
The very specific rainbow.
00:04:46
Speaker
Nike, Target, Bud Light, Aunt Jemima, Uncle Ben's.
00:04:51
Speaker
Is Land O'Lakes butter, is that still allowed?
00:04:54
Speaker
The Washington Redskins, the Cleveland Indians, Adidas, Sephora, Oreos, Maybelline.
00:04:59
Speaker
The list goes on and on when it comes to amateur companies that are either going woke and or diving headfirst into the trans, rather, transgendered programming and propaganda.
00:05:10
Speaker
Now, it's Skittles.
00:05:11
Speaker
Skittles.
00:05:13
Speaker
Skittles.
00:05:15
Speaker
This story from the Daily Wire, but found everywhere.
00:05:19
Speaker
Skittles is facing backlash after images of its Pride packaging featuring pro-trans statements went viral on social media.
00:05:29
Speaker
The candy packaging that Skittles advertises on its website features slogans such as Joy is Resistance and Black Trans Lives Matter.
00:05:41
Speaker
Skittles, which is owned by Mars, partnered with GLAAD, a media monitoring organization that espouses radical gender theory to reveal the packaging for Pride Month earlier this year.
00:05:51
Speaker
Time out.
00:05:52
Speaker
Joy is resistance.
00:05:55
Speaker
Now, does that sound like a normal advertising slogan to you?
00:06:00
Speaker
For candy?
00:06:01
Speaker
For anything?
00:06:03
Speaker
Towards kids?
00:06:04
Speaker
Yes, I know adults eat candy and Skittles in particular.
00:06:07
Speaker
But if you think, well, that's how marketing has evolved.
00:06:10
Speaker
Well, you're an amateur.
00:06:12
Speaker
The article continues, this past June was the fourth year Skittles partnered with GLAAD to support the LGBTQ community by amplifying and celebrating their stories, according to its website.
00:06:23
Speaker
Skittles said it will donate $1 for every Skittles Pride Pack sold to GLAAD in support of their ongoing efforts to work through media to combat anti-LGBT discrimination.
00:06:35
Speaker
So they're going to donate $1 for every Skittles Pride Pack sold.
00:06:40
Speaker
I'm dying to know a how much money total does that come to and did it indeed go there?
00:06:49
Speaker
Again, does that sound normal to you for candy to have a social stance on anything?
00:06:58
Speaker
Funny how all these companies never do anything for our veterans.
00:07:03
Speaker
On its website, Skittles also promoted a podcast called Query, hosted by Cameron Esposito, who focuses on LGBT topics and activism.
00:07:14
Speaker
Stay tuned for a special Pride-themed miniseries of Query where we dive deeper into queer storytelling and the artists that have designed this year's Skittles Pride Packs.
00:07:24
Speaker
Oh, I'm sure that's compelling podcasting.
00:07:30
Speaker
A whole episode devoted to
00:07:32
Speaker
the artist that designed the Skittles pride pack.
00:07:37
Speaker
I have a question about queer storytelling.
00:07:39
Speaker
If you're gay or curious or if you're closeted, which frankly, why would anyone be closeted in this day and age?
00:07:45
Speaker
Not only are gay people not oppressed despite what they're telling you, they do indeed get special privileges, parades, months, along with government and spokesperson jobs as you have seen.
00:07:59
Speaker
And now candy isn't safe.
00:08:02
Speaker
And of course, gay amateur nation will say, but you saw the backlash towards Bud Light and Dylan Mulvaney.
00:08:08
Speaker
Yeah, that was less about him being trans, which he is not, and more about having needless sexuality thrown in our faces, which indeed insulted women everywhere.
00:08:18
Speaker
Dylan Mulvaney never acted like a real, everyday, biological woman, but rather an over-the-top, spastic, dumb teenage girl, which was more of a parody of
00:08:30
Speaker
of what a young girl would be like.
00:08:33
Speaker
This failed entertainer first was gay, then wanted to be and act like a little girl, then all of a sudden he's trans, now he says he's a lesbian, and now he also wants to be pregnant.
00:08:42
Speaker
How much attention will the world give to this amateur?
00:08:45
Speaker
No wonder he's an ignoranus.
00:08:47
Speaker
What's that?
00:08:48
Speaker
Why was it okay for Bud Light to show women in bikinis and masculine men back in the day?
00:08:53
Speaker
Oh, you mean when the world was sane and there were clearly defined gender roles?
00:08:57
Speaker
Don't forget, plenty of real women were in beer ads before Dylan Mulvaney infected the industry too.
00:09:02
Speaker
It was also okay because, and listen carefully, although homosexuality is certainly accepted and normalized in today's world, and sadly homosexuals are given special treatment, don't tell me they're not...
00:09:13
Speaker
Gay TV networks, gay shows, gay agendas on several dozen products that are advertised.
00:09:18
Speaker
The gay population is indeed still a minority.
00:09:23
Speaker
The trans population is indeed an even smaller minority.
00:09:27
Speaker
And the real trans population an even smaller minority than that.
00:09:32
Speaker
And sadly, as someone who has many gay friends, and no, that's not a blanket statement.
00:09:36
Speaker
I lived in Los Angeles in the entertainment industry and continue to work in the entertainment industry in Ohio.
00:09:42
Speaker
I do know gay entertainers and trans people.
00:09:44
Speaker
Sorry, but you're not the norm.
00:09:46
Speaker
Not the norm.
00:09:48
Speaker
Doesn't make you bad people until you cry and scream oppression and demand special days, months, and privileges.
00:09:55
Speaker
What's that?
00:09:56
Speaker
Why is it okay for heterosexuality to be prevalent in advertising?
00:10:01
Speaker
Were you not listening?
00:10:04
Speaker
It's the majority.
00:10:06
Speaker
Gay minority.
00:10:08
Speaker
Trans even smaller minority.
00:10:10
Speaker
Despite everyone including your mailman identifying as trans.
00:10:15
Speaker
I love this part of the article.
00:10:16
Speaker
Listen up.
Skittles and LGBTQ Community Support
00:10:18
Speaker
For a short time in 2020, Skittles gave up the rainbow that famously dons its colorful packaging for a black and white package to give the rainbow back to the LGBTQ community for Pride Month.
00:10:32
Speaker
Because apparently rainbows belong to gay people.
00:10:37
Speaker
I remember as recently as say 1995, I was driving to my radio station job at WMMS in Cleveland and I saw a car with a rainbow bumper sticker and I had no idea what that meant.
00:10:48
Speaker
I remember thinking, okay, so you like rainbows.
00:10:51
Speaker
No words, just a rainbow.
00:10:52
Speaker
Who doesn't like a rainbow?
00:10:54
Speaker
I had it explained to me and remember thinking, well, that's dumb.
00:10:58
Speaker
If anything, why not a banana or a taco or a banana inside a taco?
00:11:02
Speaker
At least I could put two and two together, whatever.
00:11:05
Speaker
But not to get too far off topic.
00:11:07
Speaker
Why gay pride?
00:11:09
Speaker
Why not just be gay and be?
00:11:13
Speaker
Why not heterosexual pride?
00:11:15
Speaker
Again, heterosexuality is the majority, the norm.
00:11:18
Speaker
I get it.
00:11:19
Speaker
If you're gay or trans, you're different.
00:11:21
Speaker
And I've always respected that.
00:11:22
Speaker
What you do is your business.
00:11:24
Speaker
But gay pride has somehow regretfully, to the pros in the gay population that is, evolved into kink and now raunchy and trans and MAPS.
00:11:34
Speaker
Minor attracted persons and all associated propaganda in that everything and anything you do sexually is okay, even with kids.
00:11:42
Speaker
And here comes the stickler.
00:11:43
Speaker
It's targeted towards kids.
00:11:47
Speaker
And for pronation, that's a hard pass.
00:11:51
Speaker
I also am not so unfailing to not understand that maybe you as a gay adult just may have had a hard time coming to terms with your homosexuality and may have seen some hardship along the way.
00:12:01
Speaker
But does this justify targeting children now?
00:12:05
Speaker
What?
00:12:05
Speaker
You want to make it easier for the children if they struggle?
00:12:08
Speaker
Hey, you survived.
00:12:10
Speaker
Why is it your job to educate and program other people's children?
00:12:15
Speaker
Easy answer.
00:12:16
Speaker
It's not.
00:12:18
Speaker
And Amateur Nation says, really?
00:12:19
Speaker
You think Skittles will turn your kids gay?
00:12:21
Speaker
What are you afraid of?
00:12:25
Speaker
No, Skittles won't turn America's kids gay.
00:12:28
Speaker
But when Sephora has a man pretending to be a woman, same with Bud Light, Target has pre-teen gay and trans clothing engineered to hide their genitals, same with all the companies that preach this theme, towards kids, not adults,
00:12:41
Speaker
who have critical thinking, but kids who are easily influenced.
00:12:45
Speaker
After you constantly chip away at a young, impressionable generation that is raised on doing the latest thing, you know, piercings, tattoos, crazy hair colors, chopping off their genitals, getting hormone replacement therapy, and after you bombard them day in and day out with movies, TV, ads, social media, that's manipulative,
00:13:05
Speaker
It's mean, it's cruel, and it's excusing your adult perversions towards kids so you can feel better about your current deviant behavior.
00:13:14
Speaker
I don't know what the heck's going on here, but someone needs to get their asses kicked.
00:13:19
Speaker
Oh, I agree.
00:13:21
Speaker
And by the way, Skittles, black trans lives matter.
00:13:25
Speaker
Not black lives, not trans lives, but black trans lives.
00:13:28
Speaker
That's a target demo rich with targets.
00:13:31
Speaker
No.
00:13:32
Speaker
Trans population, true trans population that is, people with real gender dysphoria is way less than 1% of the entire United States population.
00:13:41
Speaker
You factor in the phonies and transgendered population, you might reach 1%.
00:13:46
Speaker
Now you factor in race because apparently Skittles doesn't care about the Asian, Caucasian, Latin, and or Middle Eastern, Samoan, and Native American trans population.
00:13:54
Speaker
What about the black trans people with dyslexia?
00:13:57
Speaker
Those who can't parallel park.
00:13:59
Speaker
The black trans amputees.
00:14:00
Speaker
But the black trans people, we're talking about a van load of people here.
00:14:05
Speaker
They need special candy packaging.
00:14:07
Speaker
And thanks to the caring of Skittles, you know their lives are so much better now.
00:14:12
Speaker
I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or just weird.
00:14:15
Speaker
By the way, remember Faye Gaptooth Johnstone, the man who identifies as trans who embarrassed Hershey's chocolate for International Women's Day?
00:14:23
Speaker
Yeah, you don't hear about this ambassador much, do ya?
00:14:27
Speaker
Boycott Skittles.
00:14:28
Speaker
Fuck the rainbow.
00:14:29
Speaker
Thanks, Captain Bringdown.
00:14:31
Speaker
By the way, Amateur Nation, all this homosexual trans drag queen crap shoved down our throats and into our faces daily
00:14:38
Speaker
is not making pro-nation hate gay people.
00:14:41
Speaker
Nice try.
00:14:42
Speaker
That goes in my big book of so there's.
00:14:46
Speaker
And now for step two.
Critique on Upspeak and Vocal Fry
00:14:51
Speaker
Let me be clear.
00:14:53
Speaker
I like women.
00:14:54
Speaker
Love them.
00:14:55
Speaker
I happen to be born by one.
00:14:57
Speaker
I even know what a woman is.
00:14:58
Speaker
Currently dating and living with one.
00:15:01
Speaker
When it comes to watching TV, not movies, just, you know, regular TV, for me, it's pretty much anything on Motor Trend, Drag Racing, Formula One, home improvement shows, and cooking shows, since my girlfriend is a chef.
00:15:12
Speaker
Plus, I also like to cook.
00:15:15
Speaker
Having watched my fair share of home improvement shows and cooking shows, whether it's the host or the contestants or clients, I ask you this, what the hell has happened to women's voices?
00:15:27
Speaker
What the hell is going on?
00:15:29
Speaker
Everything is a question where their voice goes up or they talk way in the back of their throats, like they can't get air or they wind up a sentence like a balloon being deflated and they're running out.
00:15:41
Speaker
Not all women, of course, and rarely in movies, but average, everyday American women, and not just girls and gay men, but women, women older than me even, talking like they're not sure about something, and they're apprehensive, or they're dragging out every last syllable.
00:16:00
Speaker
No, no, I got it.
00:16:01
Speaker
They sound like Jocelyn on Bob's Burgers.
00:16:03
Speaker
Yeah, I'm brainy.
00:16:05
Speaker
Wait, what are we doing?
00:16:07
Speaker
I watch these home improvement and cooking shows and many, not all, but many.
00:16:11
Speaker
And I do mean many of the female hosts or the clients slash guests sound like children, dumb children.
00:16:20
Speaker
These are grown women.
00:16:22
Speaker
long drawn out vowels talking in the back of their throgs speaking like they're searching for their next word um everything is a question
00:16:39
Speaker
My name is Michelle, and my husband Ethan and I are looking to buy our forever home.
00:16:49
Speaker
We're looking for something, here it comes, amazing, and we can't wait to begin our journey.
00:16:58
Speaker
Kill me.
00:17:00
Speaker
I would never, and I do mean never, date or marry a woman who spoke like that.
00:17:05
Speaker
I don't care how smart you may be or what you look like, no.
00:17:09
Speaker
I couldn't listen to that during sex or even worse if she's yelling at me or nagging me.
00:17:15
Speaker
This isn't normal.
00:17:16
Speaker
My mother speaks normally.
00:17:18
Speaker
So does my girlfriend.
00:17:19
Speaker
So do all my female friends.
00:17:21
Speaker
But I've noticed a lot of female comedians who are new to the game speak like sixth graders and they wonder why there are no men in the audience.
00:17:33
Speaker
It isn't because women aren't funny.
00:17:35
Speaker
It's because no one wants to hear that voice.
00:17:38
Speaker
So I Googled.
00:17:39
Speaker
I'm thinking maybe this is my imagination.
00:17:41
Speaker
I Googled what the hell is going on with women's voices.
00:17:45
Speaker
Dozens of articles popped up.
00:17:47
Speaker
But two in particular struck me.
00:17:50
Speaker
The first one was from NPR.com all the way back to 2015.
00:17:53
Speaker
It was titled, From Upspeak to Vocal Fry, Are We Policing Young Women's Voices?
00:17:59
Speaker
Answer, yes.
00:18:00
Speaker
And you know why?
00:18:01
Speaker
Because it's annoying and unnecessary.
00:18:04
Speaker
Here's the article.
00:18:06
Speaker
Journalist Jessica Grose is no stranger to criticism of her voice.
00:18:10
Speaker
When she was co-hosting the Slate podcast, the XX Gab Fest, she would receive emails complaining about her upspeak, a tendency to raise her voice at the end of sentences.
00:18:22
Speaker
Once, an older man she was interviewing for an article on Businessweek told her that she sounded like his granddaughter.
00:18:31
Speaker
She said, that was the first moment I felt my voice was hurting my career beyond just irritating a couple listeners.
00:18:37
Speaker
Groves sought help from a voice coach in an effort to make herself sound more professional.
00:18:41
Speaker
But Stanford, shocker, Stanford linguistics professor Penny Eckert argues that women shouldn't have to change their voices to suit society.
00:18:52
Speaker
Yes, they should if they want to be taken seriously.
00:18:57
Speaker
Eckert points out that the complaints about female upspeak and vocal fry, which is a tendency to draw out the end of words or sentences with a low, creaky voice, ignore the fact that men also engage in those habits.
00:19:10
Speaker
He's a sissy.
00:19:11
Speaker
There, I said that.
00:19:13
Speaker
No, no, no.
00:19:13
Speaker
You mean gay or effeminate men.
00:19:15
Speaker
And that's also equally annoying.
00:19:19
Speaker
Eckert tells Gross, people are busy policing women's language and nobody is policing older or younger men's language.
00:19:25
Speaker
Question,
00:19:27
Speaker
Do you see and hear female major network news anchors talking like this?
00:19:33
Speaker
Or male news anchors doing the same?
00:19:35
Speaker
You wouldn't take them seriously.
00:19:37
Speaker
Okay, so you're not a news anchor, but the example stands.
00:19:41
Speaker
Let's say you're due for major surgery.
00:19:43
Speaker
If your surgeon, male or female, said, okay, so we're going to be cutting into your liver and it's going to be amazing, I'm out.
00:19:55
Speaker
Can we stop pandering and just admit that upspeak and vocal fry sounds dumb?
00:20:00
Speaker
Okay, fine, my server at my local diner does it, but I don't think it's a lot to ask for an adult to sound like an adult and speak with authority and clarity and or sophistication.
00:20:09
Speaker
And no, not everyone needs to sound like Walter Cronkite, but think about the most respected women in history or in today's world.
00:20:17
Speaker
And don't you dare say Kamala Harris.
00:20:19
Speaker
She is exactly the opposite of what a woman in a position of authority should speak and sound like.
00:20:24
Speaker
Who doesn't love a yellow school bus?
00:20:27
Speaker
Now, this article from Science.com.
00:20:29
Speaker
And we all love to follow the science.
00:20:32
Speaker
And this article is all the way back from 2011.
00:20:35
Speaker
It says, Vocal Fry creeping into U.S. speech.
00:20:38
Speaker
Young women end sentences with a gravelly buzz in what could be a catching trend.
00:20:45
Speaker
The article says a curious vocal pattern has crept into the speech of young adult women who speak American English.
00:20:50
Speaker
Low, creaky vibrations, also called vocal fry.
00:20:54
Speaker
Pop singers such as Britney Spears slip vocal fry into their music as a way to reach low notes and add style.
00:21:00
Speaker
Now a new study of young women in New York State shows that the same guttural vibration, once considered a speech disorder, has become a language fad.
00:21:11
Speaker
Vocal fry, or glottalization, is a low staccato vibration during speech produced by a low fluttering of the vocal cords.
00:21:19
Speaker
The article continues.
00:21:20
Speaker
Historically, continual use of vocal fry was classified as part of a voice disorder that was believed to lead to vocal cord damage.
00:21:29
Speaker
However, in recent years, researchers have noted occasional use of the creak in speakers with normal voice quality.
00:21:35
Speaker
In the new study, scientists at Long Island University investigated the prevalence of vocal fry in college-age women.
00:21:43
Speaker
The team recorded sentences read by 34 female speakers.
00:21:47
Speaker
Two speech-language pathologists trained to identify voice disorders evaluated the speech samples.
00:21:54
Speaker
They marked the presence or absence of vocal fry by listening to each speaker's pitch and two qualities called jitter and shimmer, variation in pitch and volume, respectively.
00:22:06
Speaker
More than two-thirds of the research subjects used vocal fry during their readings.
00:22:11
Speaker
The group is the first to verify that American women are much more likely to exhibit the behavior than men.
00:22:18
Speaker
as its yet unpublished data show that male college-age students don't use the creaky voice.
00:22:24
Speaker
The researchers also plan to test students in high schools and middle schools to learn why young women creak when they speak.
00:22:33
Speaker
It comes down to this, ladies.
00:22:35
Speaker
If you want to be respected, you can't sound like an idiot.
00:22:39
Speaker
And I would say the exact same thing to a man.
00:22:42
Speaker
Learn to speak.
00:22:45
Speaker
If you want to be even heard, let alone taken seriously, you can't sound like an idiot in life.
00:22:51
Speaker
Amateurs!

Together, we remember them all.
00:23:58
Speaker
There's been an odd shift in human behavior over the last 15 plus years.
00:24:02
Speaker
A sense of entitlement.
00:24:04
Speaker
A constant need for attention.
00:24:06
Speaker
Ironically coupled with the need to be left alone.
00:24:08
Speaker
A desire to be treated the same as everyone else.
00:24:11
Speaker
Stupidly combined with the mindset of, I'm special, so treat me accordingly.

Speaker
All right, now step three.
00:25:05
Speaker
Topic number three.
00:25:06
Speaker
Hit me.
00:25:10
Speaker
It's time for This Week in Things That Make You Go, Hmm.
00:25:13
Speaker
I wonder how many fundraisers there will be for the victims of the Maui fires.
00:25:18
Speaker
Or what kind of government aid President Coloring Book will send to those Americans.
00:25:22
Speaker
Oh, that's right.
00:25:23
Speaker
Amateurs would rather donate to Ukraine.
00:25:26
Speaker
$113 billion and counting to Ukraine.
00:25:29
Speaker
Maui citizens, $700.
00:25:31
Speaker
And still zero to East Palestine.
00:25:36
Speaker
I also wonder why there was literally no emergency warnings or sirens for the residents in Maui in a city that tests those sirens monthly.
00:25:45
Speaker
I'm sure it was just an accidental tragedy, like the bombing of the AT&T building in Nashville and 9-11.
00:25:51
Speaker
Don't worry, Hawaiians got that $700 each in grants for temporary housing and home repairs and low-cost loans to cover uninsured property losses.
00:26:01
Speaker
Still think this administration looks after its own?
00:26:03
Speaker
No way in hell that's a wildfire in Maui.
00:26:07
Speaker
Wildfires don't burn at a mile a minute.
00:26:10
Speaker
And funny how the Hollywood elite's properties managed to escape untouched.
00:26:13
Speaker
Those American citizens were murdered.
00:26:16
Speaker
It's more of a conspiracy.
00:26:18
Speaker
Remember when Al Gore questioned the presidential results and tried to have them overturned and he got indicted for it?
00:26:23
Speaker
Don't want to hear it!
00:26:24
Speaker
Yeah, me neither.
00:26:26
Speaker
Remember last week when I mentioned on the Let Me Get This Straight segment that the corrupt FBI killed an overweight elderly Utah man who walks with a cane who allegedly posted online threats towards President Coloring Book, but comedian Kathy Griffin can hold a bloody head of Trump on Twitter.
00:26:42
Speaker
Yeah, why was a Madonna also arrested, shot, and killed for saying this in front of a huge crowd?
00:26:49
Speaker
I'm angry.
00:26:50
Speaker
Yes, I am outraged.
00:26:56
Speaker
Yes, I have thought an awful lot about blowing up the White House.
00:27:05
Speaker
What you're doing is treason.
00:27:07
Speaker
Did you know, according to mainstream media, Africa is warming faster than the rest of the world.
00:27:12
Speaker
Also, according to mainstream media, Canada is warming twice as fast as the rest of the world.
00:27:18
Speaker
Also, according to mainstream media, China is heating up faster than the global average.
00:27:23
Speaker
Also, according to mainstream media,
00:27:25
Speaker
Finland is warming faster than the rest of the world.
00:27:28
Speaker
Also, according to mainstream media, Israel is warming up almost twice as fast as the rest of the world.
00:27:34
Speaker
And according to mainstream media, temperature in Mexico is rising faster than the worldwide average.
00:27:40
Speaker
Did you know that right here in America, New England is warming up faster than the rest of the world?
00:27:44
Speaker
See a propaganda pattern?
00:27:47
Speaker
But don't worry, according to mainstream media, Santa's house, the North Pole, is heating up twice as fast as the rest of the Earth.
00:27:55
Speaker
And mainstream media also asks, why is Russia warming more than twice as fast as the rest of the world?
00:28:02
Speaker
Climate change experts raise concerns.
00:28:04
Speaker
And not to be left out, the South Pole, which is the crappier, lesser known of all the poles,
00:28:10
Speaker
is warming three times faster than the rest of the world, their research shows.
00:28:15
Speaker
Wait, hang on, Sweden wants in.
00:28:17
Speaker
That's right, according to mainstream media, global warming is right there with the South Pole and is happening three times as fast there.
00:28:23
Speaker
And parts of the U.S. are heating faster than the globe as a whole.
00:28:27
Speaker
Phew, time to start considering moving to, well, hmm, I've been to Portugal and it's my favorite vacation destination.
00:28:33
Speaker
I wonder if the temperature is steady there.
00:28:36
Speaker
Oh, tell us, wise mainstream media.
00:28:38
Speaker
Stop.
00:28:39
Speaker
These are facts.
00:28:40
Speaker
You can't refute facts.
00:28:41
Speaker
Oh, I'm refuting.
00:28:51
Speaker
All right, let's take some nibbles off the a la carte menu.
00:28:53
Speaker
Here we go.
00:28:56
Speaker
Let's Make a Deal host Wayne Brady apparently feels it's important to share how special he is and announce that he is pansexual.
00:29:03
Speaker
So in other words, bi.
00:29:05
Speaker
And in even more other words, gay.
00:29:07
Speaker
Looks like someone needs attention.
00:29:09
Speaker
Gay.
00:29:11
Speaker
You know who doesn't torment, indict, prosecute, or even worry about the competition?
00:29:16
Speaker
Someone who supposedly thinks they got 81 million votes.
00:29:20
Speaker
Oh, this just in from Lizzo's Yoga Pants.
00:29:25
Speaker
Looks like commie Megan Rapinoe of the U.S. Women's National Team choked her way out of $50 million from Samsung.
00:29:32
Speaker
Gotta keep your knee over the ball during penalty kicks, amateur.
00:29:35
Speaker
Did someone say girl talk?
00:29:36
Speaker
I recently noted that 80s pop legend Cyndi Lauper was on Facebook wearing a t-shirt that read, Girls just want to have fun.
00:29:43
Speaker
Demental rights!
00:29:45
Speaker
You and all the other 70 year old girls already have fundamental rights, woman.
00:29:50
Speaker
You know, most broads your age, 70, are smart enough to know that the T is a cry to stay relevant.
00:29:56
Speaker
Funny how a woman who sang the deep and empowering song, Girls Just Wanna Have Fun, are now oppressed.
00:30:02
Speaker
Help, help, I'm being repressed.
00:30:04
Speaker
Now back to your safe space.
00:30:08
Speaker
Time now for three pro things, three things that are done right.
00:30:11
Speaker
Number one.
00:30:15
Speaker
Here's Kentucky Senator Ron Paul on one of the most vile creatures in our government, Ilhan Omar.
00:30:21
Speaker
He said this, Ilhan Omar came here and we fed her.
00:30:25
Speaker
We clothed her.
00:30:27
Speaker
She got welfare.
00:30:28
Speaker
She got schooling.
00:30:29
Speaker
She got health care.
00:30:31
Speaker
And then lo and behold, she has the honor of actually winning a seat in Congress.
00:30:36
Speaker
And she says we're a terrible country.
00:30:38
Speaker
I think that's about as ungrateful as you can get.
00:30:41
Speaker
Idiot.
00:30:42
Speaker
Number two.
00:30:46
Speaker
Here's comedian slash actor Russell Brand with his opinion on, well, I'll just play the clip and you tell me who this group of people that he's describing sounds like.
00:30:57
Speaker
When it says in the Old Testament, worship no other gods than me, the implication I offer is that we are a species that worships.
00:31:07
Speaker
And if you do not access the divine, you will worship the mundial.
00:31:11
Speaker
You will worship the profane.
00:31:13
Speaker
You will worship your own identity.
00:31:15
Speaker
You will worship your belongings.
00:31:16
Speaker
You will worship the template laying before you by a culture that wants you, no, wants you, that gets you distracted and relatively dumb.
00:31:27
Speaker
Oh, that's amateur nation to a T. And number three.
00:31:35
Speaker
Okay, this one's odd, but here is, in my opinion, the worst song of all time that you've probably never heard.
00:31:43
Speaker
It's so bad, it's good.
00:31:45
Speaker
However, you may have heard of the artist Terry Jacks.
00:31:50
Speaker
For those of you old enough to remember, he had a one-hit wonder song in 1973 called Seasons in the Sun.
00:31:56
Speaker
We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun.
00:32:00
Speaker
Okay, well, a long time ago, when I first started my radio broadcasting career, I stumbled upon the 45s.
00:32:08
Speaker
Remember 45s?
00:32:09
Speaker
The B-side, in other words, the non-hit side, was a song called Put the Bone In.
00:32:16
Speaker
Yes, that's what she said.
00:32:18
Speaker
But this song, in my opinion, is so bad it's good in that this song has everything.
00:32:23
Speaker
Horrible lyrics.
00:32:24
Speaker
A sad story that has no business being made into a song and the weak vocality of Terry Jacks whining his way through it.
00:32:32
Speaker
The story, quite simply...
00:32:35
Speaker
It's a man who tells his butcher to put the bone in whatever cut of meat he's getting because, well, I don't want to be a spoiler, but be ready to laugh at this pathetic excuse for a song.
00:32:46
Speaker
And I apologize if it sticks in your head.
00:32:48
Speaker
The first two lines will make you say, oh, come on.
00:32:52
Speaker
I cannot imagine the producer sitting on the other side of the glass in the recording studio thinking that this was a good idea or the record execs hearing this on the album and going, what the hell did we do?
00:33:02
Speaker
Put the bone in the
00:33:05
Speaker
She asked him at the store, cause my doggie's been hit by a car.
00:33:20
Speaker
And I do want to bring him home Something put the bone in She begged him once more The meat from the pork is sweet
00:33:46
Speaker
Give the bone from the pork meat to me.
00:33:52
Speaker
Put the bone in, she begged him, as she paced around the floor.
00:34:01
Speaker
Put the bone in, she yelled out once more.
00:34:09
Speaker
Put the bone in,
00:34:14
Speaker
She asked him at the store.
00:34:17
Speaker
Says my doggy's been hit by a car.
00:34:25
Speaker
And I do want to bring him home or something.
00:34:36
Speaker
Put the bone in.
00:34:38
Speaker
She begged him once more.
00:34:45
Speaker
I can't believe I spent $1.29 downloading that for this show.
00:34:49
Speaker
By the way, remember the 90s group Soul Asylum?
00:34:52
Speaker
They had a few hits like Somebody to Shove and Misery and Runaway Train.
00:34:56
Speaker
If you want another laugh, give their version a listen.
00:35:00
Speaker
It's live and they do plenty of laughing while they're singing it.
00:35:03
Speaker
They kind of turn it into a drunken bar sing-along.
00:35:06
Speaker
Put the Bone In.
00:35:08
Speaker
In my opinion, the worst song that should never have been recorded.
00:35:11
Speaker
Again, I'm sorry if it's stuck in your head.
