What is 'Amateur Nation'?
00:00:43
Speaker
This is my way of saying thank you to the pros who listen to this show every week.
00:00:48
Speaker
Amateur Nation is not just a podcast, it's a movement.
00:00:52
Speaker
Warning, the podcast you are about to hear is often based on true events and people.
00:00:58
Speaker
It chronicles the dialogue and actions of random, anonymous, obnoxious, self-entitled, unintelligent, self-centered idiots, attention whores, ignoramacists, dolts, clods,
00:01:07
Speaker
Nimrods, douches, weirdos, drama queens, overly sensitive crybabies, and people who think they are better, more important, and special than the rest of us.
00:01:15
Speaker
In one word, amateurs.
00:01:19
Speaker
It's Amateur Nation with Lou Santini.
00:01:22
Speaker
We call attention to and call out the amateurs.
00:01:25
Speaker
The people who are doing life wrong.
00:01:27
Speaker
The speed bumps of life.
00:01:29
Speaker
The people that are in your way every day.
00:01:31
Speaker
The unintelligent, obnoxious, attention-whoring, self-entitled, drama queen victim types who chip away at the moments of your life due to no self-awareness, common sense, manners, or social skills.
00:01:41
Speaker
And are disturbing the flow of the pros.
00:01:45
Speaker
Hi, Mom.
00:01:45
Speaker
Oh, hey, Lou.
00:01:46
Speaker
Amateur Nation, it's not just a podcast.
00:01:48
Speaker
It's a movement.
00:01:49
Speaker
I'm ready to go
Engaging with Fans and Nostalgia
00:01:50
Speaker
pro.
00:01:50
Speaker
Good, because that's what we do here.
00:01:52
Speaker
This is episode 212.
00:01:53
Speaker
This episode brought to you by Pfizer.
00:01:57
Speaker
Pfizer, bend over.
00:02:00
Speaker
Fans first, shouts out to Undefeated or I Know Nothing, Timmy for Trump, Cat Duke, Doug the Pug, Eve Payton, at Sad Hector, at Fearless Truth, Jack Chase, at We Are Faith Based, Ozymandias the Mad, The 1215 Project, Dawn's Early Light, and Ladybug Patriot 522, all following me on Truth Social.
00:02:25
Speaker
at Lou Santini 3.
00:02:27
Speaker
And a shout out to Dave Struckel of Mogador, Ohio, who messaged me on Facebook with this kind of message.
00:02:34
Speaker
He said, Lou Santini, I'm so happy you are a star.
00:02:38
Speaker
Okay.
00:02:39
Speaker
You might not remember me.
00:02:40
Speaker
I was a skinny kid in high school who had dreams of going into radio and went to WTIG in Maslin.
00:02:46
Speaker
Dave Sheets had me sit in on your shift a couple of times.
00:02:49
Speaker
I was blown away at your on-air delivery then.
00:02:51
Speaker
And I thought you had your act together.
00:02:54
Speaker
I remember way back then that I thought Lou Santini was a name I needed to keep in mind because you were going to go places.
00:02:59
Speaker
I'm extremely happy for your success.
00:03:02
Speaker
That's very kind of you, Dave, and I mean this sincerely.
00:03:07
Speaker
When I say this, I appreciate your kind words in all of...
00:03:10
Speaker
my fans from back in my radio days in Northeast Ohio.
00:03:14
Speaker
And a special shout out to my friend Scott Gere of South Carolina, who
TikTok and Social Media Concerns
00:03:18
Speaker
is recovering from surgery.
00:03:19
Speaker
I'm wishing you the best, buddy.
00:03:20
Speaker
You got a good support system in your family and friends, and you're somewhat smart, so I'm sure you'll be just fine.
00:03:27
Speaker
Wow, okay, right out of the gate.
00:03:30
Speaker
Texas universities have blocked access to TikTok on campus Wi-Fi networks.
00:03:36
Speaker
What's more, the Surgeon General, Vivek Murthy, has stated that 13-year-olds are too young to be on social media.
00:03:45
Speaker
Why?
00:03:45
Speaker
He says because, quote, they're still developing their identity and it creates a distorted sense of themselves.
00:03:52
Speaker
No shit.
00:03:53
Speaker
Sure, but go ahead and change your gender, kids.
00:03:56
Speaker
You know, just two episodes ago on episode 210, the premiere of season five called China Syndrome 2.0, I talked about the Chinese spy app TikTok, which was referred to by the author of the article as Digital Fentanyl.
00:04:12
Speaker
It was in freepress.com.
00:04:14
Speaker
Then lo and behold, just last episode, I talked about California Congressman Adam Schiff getting booted off the Intel Committee and how he used the Chinese spy platform TikTok to whine about it.
00:04:26
Speaker
Despite the rule that the government banned the use of TikTok by members of Congress.
00:04:32
Speaker
And now this happens.
00:04:33
Speaker
And now Texas universities are pulling the plug.
00:04:37
Speaker
And by no means am I taking credit for what Texas universities are doing, of course.
00:04:43
Speaker
However, do you see what can happen when enough pros speak up and speak out?
00:04:51
Speaker
If he gets up, we'll all get up.
00:04:53
Speaker
It'll be anarchy.
00:04:54
Speaker
Now, by the way, Amateur Nation will complain of censorship, which is laughable, since they didn't have a problem with Twitter censoring, canceling, and banning.
00:05:03
Speaker
law-abiding citizens, and a seated president at the time when Jack Dorsey ran the show.
00:05:08
Speaker
But Elon Musk steps in and says, hey, no more bots.
00:05:11
Speaker
Good thing.
00:05:12
Speaker
I'm erasing fake accounts.
00:05:14
Speaker
Good thing.
00:05:15
Speaker
I'm streamlining the staff, meaning he's getting rid of the dead weight.
00:05:18
Speaker
Good thing.
00:05:19
Speaker
And I'm reinstating banned accounts that didn't break any rules.
00:05:22
Speaker
Everyone is welcome as long as you behave, but feel free to speak your mind.
00:05:27
Speaker
All good things.
00:05:28
Speaker
And somehow, Amateur Nation calls that misinformation.
00:05:32
Speaker
Now, Amateur Nation says that banning TikTok is racist against the Chinese and its censorship.
00:05:40
Speaker
Now, see, this is a matter of national security.
00:05:43
Speaker
Remember national security, Amateur Nation?
00:05:46
Speaker
Oh, that's right.
00:05:47
Speaker
You want America to let any nimrod in with all the benefits of American freedoms that you claim are oppressive.
00:05:54
Speaker
Meanwhile, we have a spy balloon floating around in US airspace, and we're cool with that.
00:06:00
Speaker
If you were at home and you saw someone who didn't just walk on your property, walk cut through your yard, but just hung around and literally was surveying your yard, taking pictures of your house, taking pictures of your land.
00:06:16
Speaker
scoping the place, casing the joint.
00:06:19
Speaker
You wouldn't at least call the cops and we're okay with a spy balloon, a surveillance balloon in American airspace.
00:06:26
Speaker
If you haven't gotten caught up, I urge you to listen to episode 210 and see what a useful tool TikTok has become for China and how it's literally weaponized against the U.S.
00:06:37
Speaker
Jesus, be more gross and Chinesey!
00:06:39
Speaker
Hey, I didn't say it.
00:06:41
Speaker
I know, Amateur Nation.
00:06:42
Speaker
TikTok,
Language Policing and AP Guidelines
00:06:43
Speaker
it's just an app.
00:06:45
Speaker
Now, off you go to TikTok to poorly lip-sync something or jiggle your boobs.
00:06:49
Speaker
Here's what's happening in Amateur Nation.
00:06:51
Speaker
Perhaps you had better start from the beginning.
00:06:53
Speaker
Topic number one.
00:06:56
Speaker
All the way back to January 27th, the Associated Press stated that it was dehumanizing to use the word the...
00:07:07
Speaker
In descriptions like the French, the Italians,
00:07:12
Speaker
The amateurs at The Associated Press.
00:07:16
Speaker
Now, for those of you who may not know, The Associated Press style book has long been considered an authority on ways in which to format the printed word.
00:07:23
Speaker
I didn't have to memorize it or learn it when I first started in radio, as I was not really a journalist, but I had to take college courses and we learned a lot about the basics.
00:07:33
Speaker
Many media outlets conform to AP standards.
00:07:36
Speaker
Their latest nonsense said this,
00:07:39
Speaker
We recommend avoiding general and often dehumanizing the labels such as the poor, the mentally ill, the French, the disabled, the college educated.
00:07:50
Speaker
Instead, use wording such as people with mental illness and use these descriptions only when clearly relevant.
00:08:00
Speaker
Here's what is asinine and amateur about that statement.
00:08:03
Speaker
Anyone with an education or two functioning brain cells know that words in and of themselves are harmless and are incapable of doing any harm of any kind to anyone.
00:08:16
Speaker
No one, and I do mean no one, was killed by a word.
00:08:20
Speaker
No one was injured by a word.
00:08:22
Speaker
It's context.
00:08:24
Speaker
And I'd throw in their tone of voice and inflection that affect the listener.
00:08:30
Speaker
Okay, here we go with that.
00:08:31
Speaker
All right, hey, I'm game.
00:08:34
Speaker
Dehumanizing is one hell of a strong word.
00:08:37
Speaker
A strong word used to describe a word.
00:08:41
Speaker
A word as benign as the article, the.
00:08:47
Speaker
I also like, rather wonder if, they choose the nouns, poor.
00:08:54
Speaker
Mentally ill, French, disabled, and the best one, college educated to use as examples of words in which to front load the for a reason.
00:09:09
Speaker
Why those nouns?
00:09:11
Speaker
So what the Associated Press was saying, literally, is that if you say the in front of any noun, it dehumanizes that noun.
00:09:21
Speaker
Yes, of course, I'm oversimplifying this because it's that stupid.
00:09:26
Speaker
It deserves all the mockery and insults that pro-nation can muster.
00:09:32
Speaker
No reason why the *** Associated Press says that, rather thinks that this is a good policy or revision to a writing style guideline.
00:09:41
Speaker
Not to mention, as someone who has used the *** written word for broadcast, writing ad copy, promotional purposes, website design, brochures, business cards, stand-up comedy, movie scripts, game show pitches, and four books.
00:09:55
Speaker
Writers are told, in addition to writing descriptively, clearly, and when applicable, passionately, and accurately, to write concisely.
00:10:06
Speaker
Economy of words and less is more are often heard mantras.
00:10:11
Speaker
In comedy, it's get to the... funny.
00:10:17
Speaker
This is a problem amateur nation didn't know they had until they were told that they had it.
00:10:21
Speaker
Again.
00:10:21
Speaker
Again.
00:10:23
Speaker
Just a day later, the AP apologized about using the French in their example.
00:10:32
Speaker
I guess the poor, the mentally ill, the
00:10:39
Speaker
Disabled.
00:10:40
Speaker
And the ***.
00:10:41
Speaker
College educated.
00:10:42
Speaker
Fuck them.
00:10:44
Speaker
Not that any of these groups of people need an apology because nothing derogatory was said about them.
00:10:49
Speaker
See how amateur nation talks themselves into corners?
00:10:53
Speaker
They never think it through.
00:10:56
Speaker
Life hack.
00:10:57
Speaker
Instead of saying the ***.
00:11:00
Speaker
Mentally ill and having scorn hit you from every angle.
00:11:03
Speaker
No wait, that will never happen.
00:11:05
Speaker
But instead of saying that, say amateur nation.
00:11:09
Speaker
They'll know you mean crazy.
00:11:13
Speaker
The... Damn it.
00:11:15
Speaker
Associated Press says, use these descriptions only when clearly relevant and that relevance is made clear in the... story.
00:11:25
Speaker
Be specific when possible and relevant, such as people with incomes below the... poverty line.
00:11:33
Speaker
Wait, the... story?
00:11:37
Speaker
The... poverty line?
00:11:39
Speaker
Doesn't that discriminate against other types of stories and lines?
00:11:43
Speaker
Look, they don't know what they're talking about.
00:11:45
Speaker
Now, I love this.
00:11:47
Speaker
The... French embassy in the...
00:11:52
Speaker
U.S. joked that it should possibly change its name to the... Embassy of Frenchness.
00:12:00
Speaker
Writer Sarah Hader said, Nothing as dehumanizing as being considered one of the... French.
00:12:08
Speaker
Rather, such individuals should be thought of as suffering from Frenchness and deserve our compassion and prayers.
Critiquing Educational Narratives
00:12:15
Speaker
Oh, I like her.
00:12:16
Speaker
New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof wrote, I wish we on the...
00:12:21
Speaker
left could spend less time fussing over language and more time trying to actually solve problems.
00:12:27
Speaker
Finally, some common sense from amateur nation.
00:12:31
Speaker
And the Washington Post, sorry, columnist who works at, I give up, columnist Megan McArdle joked, the people experiencing journalism at the
00:12:46
Speaker
AP have their work cut out for them.
00:12:48
Speaker
Sometimes what happens in here is like taking a shit.
00:12:51
Speaker
Oh, I agree.
00:12:52
Speaker
Let's purge all the bad amateur crap from our bodies.
00:12:56
Speaker
Yes?
00:12:57
Speaker
In other news, the British post-punk band The The is totally screwed.
00:13:05
Speaker
Remember them?
00:13:05
Speaker
This is a day Your life will shine a day This is a day
00:13:19
Speaker
I can picture this conversation.
00:13:21
Speaker
I'm going to a concert this weekend.
00:13:22
Speaker
Who are you going to see?
00:13:24
Speaker
The.
00:13:25
Speaker
The.
00:13:26
Speaker
The.
00:13:28
Speaker
Wait, aren't they just the.
00:13:30
Speaker
The.
00:13:32
Speaker
Oh, my bad.
00:13:33
Speaker
It's okay.
00:13:34
Speaker
You're one of the.
00:13:36
Speaker
Stupid.
00:13:37
Speaker
Okay, one last thing.
00:13:39
Speaker
I know that buzzer was annoying throughout, but I did it to highlight the stupidity of censorship that is perpetuated by institutions that are overstepping their power and areas of expertise.
00:13:49
Speaker
I'm looking at you, Stanford University and the Associated Press.
00:13:52
Speaker
And now this.
00:13:54
Speaker
Topic number two.
00:13:57
Speaker
Okay, we all know, I mean, it's common knowledge, that math is racist.
00:14:01
Speaker
I mean, sure, we only said that out loud within the last year or so, but we've always known it.
00:14:06
Speaker
Remember the stink eye you got when you tried to figure out the tip at a restaurant?
00:14:10
Speaker
Well, listen up, racists.
00:14:11
Speaker
You'll be happy to learn that math is now sexist and homophobic too.
00:14:16
Speaker
Yay, no more tipping.
00:14:18
Speaker
Luis Leyva, an associate professor of mathematics education at Vanderbilt University's Peabody College of Education and Human Development, good God, his business card must be cramped for space, recently gave a lecture called, no joke, Undergraduate Mathematics Education as a White, Cis-Heteropatriarchal Space and Opportunities for Structural Disruption to Advance Queer of Color Justice.
00:14:43
Speaker
Okay.
00:14:45
Speaker
Hang on.
00:14:46
Speaker
Let's hear him, her, they out.
00:14:48
Speaker
Sounds complicated, right?
00:14:49
Speaker
Well, perhaps his summary of lecture points will clarify.
00:14:55
Speaker
It says, for the first half of the lecture, I present findings from my research about the educational experiences of 39 undergraduate, wow, 39, what a huge sample size, queer and trans, or QT.
00:15:09
Speaker
Ooh, he abbreviated queer and trans.
00:15:13
Speaker
Look at the big brain on Luis.
00:15:15
Speaker
So efficient.
00:15:16
Speaker
Go college.
00:15:17
Speaker
Students of color pursuing STEM majors across historically white and minority-serving universities in the United States.
00:15:24
Speaker
Oh, so you mean all colleges.
00:15:28
Speaker
Findings depict how black, Latin, and Asian QT students' narratives of experience, translation, their whiny sob stories, reflects forms of intersectionality or instances of oppression and resistance at intersecting systems of white supremacy and cis-heteropatriarchy or white cis-heteropatriarchy.
00:15:49
Speaker
Uh, that doesn't make any sense.
00:15:51
Speaker
Yeah, that's the first half.
00:15:54
Speaker
of the lecture description.
00:15:56
Speaker
Here comes the second half.
00:15:59
Speaker
Now, during the second half of the lecture, I apply my framework and research findings to argue how undergraduate mathematics education operates as a white, cis-heteropatriarchal space that limits learning opportunities affirming of queer and color identities and experiences.
00:16:15
Speaker
First off, well done on the multisyllabic cisheteropatriarchal $10 word.
00:16:22
Speaker
I mean, that's beautiful.
00:16:24
Speaker
So if I was against that, I'd be anti-cisheteropatriarchal.
00:16:29
Speaker
Okay, what if there are many of those types?
00:16:33
Speaker
I would be multi-anti-cisheteropatriarchal.
00:16:37
Speaker
Help, help, I'm being repressed!
00:16:39
Speaker
Okay, and now the translation.
00:16:41
Speaker
Math is for white straight males.
00:16:44
Speaker
Why that is, he won't or can't or doesn't say.
00:16:48
Speaker
And because of that, gay and or black or other people whose skin isn't white can only get learned up so good.
00:16:55
Speaker
Because as we all know, if white people get really tan, they lose their ability to add.
00:17:00
Speaker
Bring it home, Luis!
00:17:01
Speaker
I'm not gay.
00:17:02
Speaker
You're not?
00:17:03
Speaker
No.
00:17:03
Speaker
He said,
00:17:15
Speaker
This reimagining accounts for ideological, institutional, and relational forms of disruption that interrogate dominant forms of knowledge production, as well as expand access to learning opportunities and departmental support that affirm queer elf color identities.
00:17:27
Speaker
The human brain is fiendishly complex.
00:17:29
Speaker
It's all neurons and electricity and mushy parts.
00:17:33
Speaker
Sounds like he's going to come up with some new improved math.
00:17:36
Speaker
I can't wait.
00:17:38
Speaker
Invent different math.
00:17:39
Speaker
There's some extra credit for you.
00:17:41
Speaker
Now, how do I tip 20% on a $17.53 restaurant tab?
00:17:46
Speaker
Good thing I'm white and straight and have a calculator on my phone.
00:17:53
Speaker

There's been an odd shift in human behavior over the last 15
COVID Vaccine Allegations
00:19:18
Speaker
plus years.
00:19:18
Speaker
A sense of entitlement, a constant need for attention, ironically coupled with the need to be left alone, a desire to be treated the same as everyone else, stupidly combined with the mindset of, I'm special, so treat me accordingly.

00:20:09
Speaker
Topic number three.
00:20:10
Speaker
Hit me!
00:20:26
Speaker
I'm not going to pretend that I have the power, resources, and investigative firepower to blow the lid on some new information regarding the obvious, deliberate, criminal, soulless activities of pharmaceutical giant Pfizer.
00:20:43
Speaker
absolute pro-nonprofit organization that practices journalism, their description, Project Veritas, has indeed done just that, blowing the lid off what we pros already knew, that Pfizer was intentionally mutating COVID via directed evolution so they could profit off vaccines.
00:21:04
Speaker
The genocide that is and will continue to take place
00:21:10
Speaker
As a direct result of the untested gene experiment, the illness, harm, financial ruin, family destruction, impact on American businesses and lives is literally incalculable.
00:21:24
Speaker
Everyday videos show fit young athletes dropping to the ground.
00:21:29
Speaker
Heart attacks, strokes, and myocarditis in young people, including children, are news of the day.
00:21:35
Speaker
That is, until it's removed, covered up, and censored.
00:21:38
Speaker
And as the saying goes, the cover-up is worse than the crime.
00:21:42
Speaker
Because in this case, it's doubly worse, as this was knowingly done.
00:21:47
Speaker
This isn't negligence.
00:21:48
Speaker
This is purposeful.
00:21:51
Speaker
You may indeed be a pro who got the untested gene experiment.
00:21:54
Speaker
You may have been coerced into taking it via your job or family pressure.
00:21:58
Speaker
I do indeed feel for you.
00:21:59
Speaker
I don't judge.
00:22:00
Speaker
Even if I did, my opinion means nothing to you.
00:22:02
Speaker
And it shouldn't.
00:22:04
Speaker
But the people who pushed the agenda...
00:22:07
Speaker
Businesses, the government, small businesses, airlines, big corporations, public schools, universities, even rock bands who refuse to play unless you're injected, they are also a huge part of the problem and are complicit.
00:22:24
Speaker
But back to Pfizer, because that's where it starts.
00:22:26
Speaker
And by the way, who knows what Johnson & Johnson and Moderna are covering up?
00:22:31
Speaker
At Jennifer Magulai posted this,
00:22:35
Speaker
Listen carefully.
00:22:35
Speaker
Pfizer Lot EN 6201 has nearly 4,000 reports of adverse events and 211 reports of deaths in the CDC's VAERS database.
00:22:48
Speaker
That's not misinformation.
00:22:50
Speaker
That's factual, verifiable data that the mainstream medical establishment and the media, an arm of Big Pharma, is choosing to ignore.
00:22:59
Speaker
Hashtag hotlot.
00:23:02
Speaker
By the way, the Canadian Adverse Event Reporting System says to know your lot number when it comes to your vaccination.
00:23:11
Speaker
Project Veritas has a Pfizer executive on hidden camera admitting wrongdoing.
00:23:16
Speaker
And they have that same executive losing his mind because he knows he's busted.
00:23:21
Speaker
What does Pfizer do?
00:23:22
Speaker
Erase any record of him working there.
00:23:25
Speaker
They claim he's not an employee of the company.
00:23:27
Speaker
He's not on the company payroll.
00:23:28
Speaker
He's not on the website.
00:23:29
Speaker
Never has been an employee.
00:23:31
Speaker
Maybe they put a call into Hillary Clinton.
00:23:33
Speaker
I know, she's at home with her loving husband making cookies.
00:23:37
Speaker
Funny how amateur nation, rather than losing their minds over the expose, rail about how that's not real journalism.
00:23:45
Speaker
Remember when decades ago your local news always had a journalist with a hidden camera or maybe he just got in the faces of wrongdoers who went to local businesses that were swindling little old ladies out of their social security checks or a local car dealership sold cars with defective parts knowingly and we all thought, yeah, get them, those cheats and liars and criminals.
00:24:05
Speaker
It's okay on the small scale.
00:24:08
Speaker
But those same amateurs are amazingly silent when we have a purposely reckless drug company poisoning America.
00:24:17
Speaker
And we have the evidence on camera.
00:24:21
Speaker
As Ian Smith Fitness said, the same crowd that said, if we can just save one life, it's worth it, doesn't give a shit about people suddenly dropping dead.
00:24:31
Speaker
All right, this is just me, but the only way justice would be served would be to close Pfizer's doors permanently, sell off all their assets, and I mean everything, desks, chairs, the building, the real estate, destroy all their COVID work, meaning the lab and records so no other evil entity gets a hold of it, arrest all those in the highest-powered positions, seize all their assets, both personal and corporate, and then take all the money from all that liquidation and
00:25:00
Speaker
and distribute that money to every American citizen, starting with anyone injured or families of those killed by their poison.
Commentary on Political and Social Absurdities
00:25:08
Speaker
And then the class action lawsuits begin.
00:25:14
Speaker
Oh yeah, that'll never happen.
00:25:19
Speaker
All right, here we go.
00:25:21
Speaker
It's time for a la carte.
00:25:23
Speaker
Hey, Bernie backers, socialist Bernie Sanders is playing theaters with his new show, It's Okay to be Angry About Capitalism.
00:25:31
Speaker
Tickets only $95.
00:25:32
Speaker
Well, he's an asshole, that's what.
00:25:35
Speaker
So what?
00:25:35
Speaker
It's his age.
00:25:37
Speaker
All this abortion slash right to life talk lately, when does life begin?
00:25:42
Speaker
Don't worry, a college kid wearing lots of buttons and a wool beanie in 70 degree weather while holding a picket sign protesting, oh, I'll say dirt, has all the answers.
00:25:51
Speaker
Here comes a scholarship.
00:25:53
Speaker
When do you think that life begins?
00:25:55
Speaker
I think it when the baby can be taking care of itself.
00:25:58
Speaker
Like, I really don't think a newborn, I think after a couple months of it being born, I think that's when you can call it a baby.
00:26:05
Speaker
Most pro-lifers say that abortion ends an innocent human life.
00:26:07
Speaker
Do you agree or disagree with that?
00:26:09
Speaker
I disagree because it's really not a, it's, if we call it a baby, it should be called a baby, not a, not, not what they, not what we call it as a fetus.
00:26:20
Speaker
What is a fetus?
00:26:22
Speaker
It's an unborn, or it's like not even a baby yet, but it's, I have no clue what a fetus is, but that's what,
00:26:36
Speaker
Its definition is, uh, I read the dictionary and that's the facts that I get.
00:26:42
Speaker
I hope he's pre-med.
00:26:44
Speaker
He said, you can call on the baby after a couple months.
00:26:48
Speaker
So your birthing person has just had something inexplicably come out of her.
00:26:53
Speaker
The doctor says, congratulations.
00:26:56
Speaker
Ain't that something?
00:26:57
Speaker
You take it home, you're staring at it, friends come by.
00:27:00
Speaker
What is that?
00:27:01
Speaker
Dude, it's only been a week.
00:27:02
Speaker
We'll figure it out.
00:27:04
Speaker
If that kid's parents are paying for his college, stop paying on tuition immediately.
00:27:10
Speaker
And you know this kid is going to knock up some amateur girl, I mean, birthing person.
00:27:14
Speaker
Or maybe a man, who knows?
00:27:17
Speaker
Oh, you think he's dumb?
00:27:19
Speaker
Here's somehow famous comedian Chelsea Handler on Jimmy Fallon's late night talk show.
00:27:25
Speaker
I didn't know until I was 40 years old that the sun and the moon were not the same thing.
00:27:29
Speaker
Having heard that, former Chelsea Handler lover rapper 50 Cent said he'd rather get shot a tenth time than remember having sex with that dunce.
00:27:38
Speaker
This is the amateur nation that tells you how to vote, folks.
00:27:42
Speaker
Let's not forget what she said was dumb, but admitting it in public, on camera, even dumber.
00:27:48
Speaker
Yeah, I'm brainy.
00:27:50
Speaker
All right, let's go for the trifecta.
00:27:52
Speaker
Did you see the first trans figure skater at the opening ceremonies of the European Figure Skating Championships in Finland?
00:27:59
Speaker
Heh, no one did!
00:28:00
Speaker
Apparently it was bring your mentally ill friend to work day.
00:28:03
Speaker
You must watch a clip on YouTube of this sad 59 year old man insult those who worked most of their lives to perfect their craft.
00:28:12
Speaker
Mina Maria Antikkanen, who cares if I'm not saying it correctly, said it was a childhood dream to represent her country on the ice.
00:28:20
Speaker
Finland replied, great, thanks for that.
00:28:24
Speaker
This is like when adults get together to play a family reunion softball game and they let the four-year-old get a home run.
00:28:30
Speaker
Outie Warren Haimo, again, who cares if I'm saying his name right, executive director of the Finnish Figure Skating Association and secretary general of the ISU European Figure Skating Championship said, often only the top skaters in the country are seen in figure skating shows.
00:28:47
Speaker
I know, crazy, right?
00:28:49
Speaker
With this diverse group of performers, we want to show that ice has space for everyone, especially in uncertain and difficult times like these.
00:28:57
Speaker
Yes, because amateurs like you are making it uncertain and difficult, you idiot.
00:29:02
Speaker
It is meaningful to create an accepting and positive experience for all.
00:29:06
Speaker
And it worked.
00:29:07
Speaker
I accept that it was a positively stupid experience.
Tributes and Celebrations
00:29:15
Speaker
Finding three things every week.
00:29:17
Speaker
that are pro.
00:29:18
Speaker
It's a task, but I get it done.
00:29:20
Speaker
This is Three Pro Things, number one.
00:29:25
Speaker
I used to be a Major League Baseball fan, and specifically a Cleveland Indians fan.
00:29:31
Speaker
But then, of course, commie crap infected our team and made them change the name to the benign Guardians.
00:29:37
Speaker
Despite the fact that poll after poll after poll showed that the majority of Native Americans in Ohio were not offended nor affected by the name that was the team's name since 1901.
00:29:48
Speaker
But they changed it because you couldn't go a week without hearing about some Indian people being assaulted, beaten, denied housing, denied surf.
00:29:55
Speaker
Oh, wait, that never happened.
00:29:57
Speaker
Anyway, if you ever attended a Cleveland Indians game, you'd hear off in the distance a rhythmic drumming by probably the most iconic fan, not only of the Indians or baseball, but in pro sports, John Adams.
00:30:10
Speaker
Adams was known for trying not to miss a game and beating the rally drum from the bleachers at Municipal Stadium, the original location for the Indians, and then later, Progressive Field.
00:30:21
Speaker
Adams has been honored by the Cleveland Ball Club with a bronze drum in Heritage Park inside the stadium.
00:30:28
Speaker
It's a damn shame that he got to see his team get to two World Series, but come up short both times.
00:30:33
Speaker
But even more of a shame that his loyalty was rewarded with commie propaganda.
00:30:38
Speaker
But to the late John Adams, this show salutes you.
00:30:44
Speaker
Number two.
00:30:47
Speaker
Speaking of sports, my all-time favorite figure in professional sports, three-time top Fuel World Champion Shirley Muldowney was recently inducted into the National Motorsports Press Association's Hall of Fame during the group's annual convention in Concord, North Carolina.
00:31:01
Speaker
This is a great story from competitionplus.com.
00:31:05
Speaker
Just when I thought I knew everything about her, I always enjoy reading new things.
00:31:08
Speaker
Listen to this.
00:31:09
Speaker
It's the 14th such honor for Moldownie, and she's slated to bump that to number 15 next month by the North Carolina Drag Racing Hall of Fame.
00:31:19
Speaker
She said, I started a career never knowing what this whole thing would turn into.
00:31:23
Speaker
I was racing up and down the streets of Schenectady, New York.
00:31:27
Speaker
Street racing is what tempted me, and what I was doing initially was against the law.
00:31:32
Speaker
That street racing in 1956 and 1957 finally was harnessed in 58 when she participated in her first legal drag race at Fonda New York Speedway.
00:31:43
Speaker
By 1971, she was racing nitro-burning funny cars, and she and then-husband Jack Muldowney teamed to win the IHRA Southern Nationals at Rockingham North Carolina Dragway that summer.
00:31:55
Speaker
A serious funny car fire prompted her move to become the first woman licensed to compete in Top Fuel, and drivers Dawn Big Daddy Garlitz, TV Tommy Ivo, and Connie Coletta signed her license upgrade.
00:32:08
Speaker
Muldowney said that Garlitz bragged that it's not going anywhere, meaning that she wasn't a threat, but added that two weeks later, she was dusting him off at Union Grove, Wisconsin.
00:32:18
Speaker
He was wild mad, she said, and that was where it all began in terms of a rivalry that filled our pockets.
00:32:25
Speaker
Muldowney won 18 NHRA national events, an AHRA event in 1981, and three NHRA top field championships, 1977, 81, and 82, and a chance to represent drag racing around the world.
00:32:41
Speaker
One of her most cherished memories came in 1993 when she was chosen by the NHRA to race for America at Fuji International Speedway in Tokyo, Japan.
00:32:52
Speaker
It was the run of a lifetime.
00:32:55
Speaker
She said, I made a pass at night at 5.30 p.m., dead dark, not a light in the facility, because they raced in the daytime.
00:33:02
Speaker
Officials were mad.
00:33:03
Speaker
I said, calm down, guys.
00:33:05
Speaker
Let us do what we do best.
00:33:07
Speaker
I had them put up a spotlight in the traps, 1,320 feet, not 1,000 feet.
00:33:11
Speaker
We ran a real racetrack back then.
00:33:16
Speaker
Her then crew chief slash husband, Ron Tobler, told her he would just put a lot of power in it and will go out and do a massive burnout and they'll be happy with that, she said.
00:33:28
Speaker
And that's what she expected to occur only when the dragster launched, it picked the front end up about a foot and a half and carried them for 300 feet, set them down and here we go.
00:33:37
Speaker
She said, all I did was point my car for those headlights that were centered on the ground at the finish line.
00:33:44
Speaker
At this time, it ran 285 miles an hour and 5.3 seconds, but this was an ice skating rink.
00:33:51
Speaker
All you could see was header flames and thousands of flashbulbs going off in the stands.
00:33:56
Speaker
It was one of the most exciting races I ever ran.
00:34:00
Speaker
Muldowney still retains a noticeable limp that resulted from a horrific racing crash near Montreal in 1983.
00:34:06
Speaker
She said drag racing cost me two marriages and also mentioned that she misses her son John, who died in 2017 at age 59 of a blood clot every single day of my life.
00:34:18
Speaker
But even at age 82, she yearns to compete again, and she told the NMPA audience that opportunity may come behind the wheel of a vehicle being built for the Bonneville Salt Flats.
00:34:29
Speaker
I think that would be a nice way to go out, she said.
00:34:32
Speaker
Okay, 450 miles an hour?
00:34:34
Speaker
Go ahead, match that, guys.
00:34:37
Speaker
The balls on this woman.
00:34:38
Speaker
I love her.
00:34:39
Speaker
She remains a fixture at many NHRA events, and she said that the fans she meets there have a special bond with her.
00:34:45
Speaker
That is the biggest compliment any fan could ever pay someone like me, because for years and years, I knew that someday this is going to be over.
Closing Promotions and Movement Emphasis
00:34:55
Speaker
Number three.
00:34:57
Speaker
All right, we're going out with the funny.
00:35:00
Speaker
Here's late great President Ronald Reagan telling a spot-on joke with perfect timing about Amateur Nation.
00:35:07
Speaker
This was a Democratic fundraising rally at a hotel.
00:35:11
Speaker
And outside when all of them were coming out, there was a kid there with a bunch of puppies.
00:35:16
Speaker
And he was trying to sell them and he was saying, come buy a Democrat puppy.
00:35:20
Speaker
Buy a Democrat puppy.
00:35:22
Speaker
Two weeks later, the Republicans held a fundraiser in the same hall.
00:35:27
Speaker
And there was the same kid with the same puppies.
00:35:29
Speaker
When they were coming out, he was saying, buy a Republican puppy.
00:35:33
Speaker
Well, one of the press, a newspaper man who'd seen him two weeks before said, hey, kid, wait a minute.
00:35:37
Speaker
Two weeks ago, you were trying to sell these puppies as Democrats.
00:35:41
Speaker
What are you doing here now trying to sell them as Republicans?
00:35:43
Speaker
Kid says, now they got their eyes open.
00:35:53
