Introduction and Comedy Special Promotion
00:00:00
Speaker
Hi, Froze.
00:00:00
Speaker
Lou Santini here, host of Amateur Nation.
00:00:03
Speaker
My Dry Bar Comedy Special, Amateur Nation, is now available.
00:00:07
Speaker
And just like this show, if you're allergic to a lack of common sense in today's world, and you like your comedy delivered with uncompromising talent like it is bite, then check out my half-hour comedy special, Amateur Nation.
00:00:19
Speaker
Go to drybarcomedy.com slash LouAmpire.
00:00:23
Speaker
This is my way of saying thank you to the pros who listen to this show every week.
00:00:27
Speaker
DriveourComedy.com slash Lou S. Amateur Nation is not just a podcast, it's a movement.
Honor and Remember Flag Promotion
00:00:34
Speaker
The honor and remember flag is a nationally recognized symbol that sends a message of appreciation for the sacrifice made by our fallen heroes and their families.
00:00:44
Speaker
The flag flies at many NASCAR races around the country, and you can help honor our nation's fallen military members and remember the eternal sacrifice of their service by flying the flag too.
00:00:56
Speaker
Text FLAG to 71777 or visit honorandremember.org to learn more.
00:01:00
Speaker
Together, we remember them all.
00:01:27
Speaker
Okay, let's all shut up,
Amateur Nation Concept
00:01:29
Speaker
please.
00:01:29
Speaker
Warning.
00:01:30
Speaker
The podcast you are about to hear is often based on true events and people.
00:01:35
Speaker
It chronicles the dialogue and actions of random, anonymous, obnoxious, self-entitled, unintelligent, self-centered idiots.
00:01:42
Speaker
Attention whores, 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.
00:01:53
Speaker
In one word, amateurs.
00:01:54
Speaker
Amateurs.
00:01:56
Speaker
It's Amateur Nation with Lou Santini.
00:01:59
Speaker
We call attention to and call out the amateurs.
00:02:03
Speaker
The people who are doing life wrong.
00:02:05
Speaker
The speed bumps of life.
00:02:07
Speaker
The people that are in your way every day.
00:02:09
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 that are disturbing the flow of the pros.
00:02:23
Speaker
Hi, Mom.
00:02:24
Speaker
Oh, hey, Lou.
00:02:24
Speaker
Amateur Nation.
00:02:25
Speaker
It's not just a podcast.
00:02:27
Speaker
It's a movement.
00:02:28
Speaker
And this
Episode Topics and Listener Shout-outs
00:02:29
Speaker
is episode 248.
00:02:29
Speaker
The future is stupid.
00:02:35
Speaker
On today's episode, Amateur Nation is childish.
00:02:38
Speaker
Take two.
00:02:39
Speaker
Celebrating Indigenous People's Day and Amateur Nation versus Pro Nation happiness.
00:02:44
Speaker
Then we respect the sneeze guard on the a la carte buffet and three things that are done right on three pro things.
00:02:51
Speaker
Pro Nation first, shouts out to Manny M Performance, Jimmy Bartley, William Carver, Raul Easy, Richard Pezrock, Bobby Carroll, and Bill Bowser on Instagram, Cliff and Becky, Dun Nguyen, and Thangmobile on YouTube, and Terry Sixkiller who wrote me on Facebook with this, why is it we don't see the trans women going into the male bathrooms?
00:03:20
Speaker
Which leads me to your post of the week, in line with the topic last week, Amateur Nation is Rooted in Hypocrisy.
00:03:26
Speaker
This, from Dominic Izzo.
00:03:29
Speaker
Award shows, we must honor race.
00:03:33
Speaker
Job hiring, we must consider race.
00:03:36
Speaker
School acceptance, we must prioritize race.
00:03:40
Speaker
HR and training at work, we must bow to race.
00:03:44
Speaker
Holidays and parades, we must celebrate race.
00:03:47
Speaker
Communities, we must unify race.
00:03:50
Speaker
Achievements, we must celebrate race.
00:03:53
Speaker
Criminal activity, how dare you bring up race.
00:03:58
Speaker
Here's what's happening in Amateur Nation.
00:04:00
Speaker
Now dig this.
00:04:01
Speaker
Step one.
00:04:02
Speaker
Topic
Critique of Lewis Hamilton's Behavior
00:04:03
Speaker
number one.
00:04:03
Speaker
Topic number one.
00:04:06
Speaker
Last week's episode of my podcast talked about how Amateur Nation is childish.
00:04:10
Speaker
And I gave examples of politicians, the Hollywood elite, professional athletes, etc.
00:04:15
Speaker
who act childish.
00:04:17
Speaker
Guess who just made the list?
00:04:19
Speaker
Seven-time Formula One world champion Lewis Hamilton.
00:04:23
Speaker
This never-oppressed multimillionaire with one of the most elite jobs on the planet recently qualified number three in the Qatar Grand Prix.
00:04:32
Speaker
First corner of the first lap, he squeezed out his own teammate, George Russell.
00:04:39
Speaker
in an effort to take it out and measure it against the man who broke his brain at the 2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, Max Verstappen.
00:04:46
Speaker
Here we have a seven-time world champ who, only after the George Floyd crap, was suddenly oppressed and wanted to end racism.
00:04:56
Speaker
He's barely won a race, let alone gotten on a podium since Max handed him his lunch two years ago.
00:05:01
Speaker
And since then, like a child, nothing has been his fault.
00:05:06
Speaker
He has blamed his team for losses, and when he ran into his own teammate, the first thing out of his mouth via radio to his crew was, my own teammate ran into me, despite the obvious of the opposite in real time and especially in replay.
00:05:22
Speaker
To make things worse, like the child he is, he walked across the track pouting, which is dangerous and absolutely against the rules.
00:05:31
Speaker
The crash could have killed Max, his teammate, other drivers, and himself, and walking across the track put him at risk, as well as the safety crew.
00:05:39
Speaker
It's easy to be a great winner.
00:05:42
Speaker
And now we know Lewis Hamilton's character when he loses.
00:05:46
Speaker
Childish.
00:05:47
Speaker
Like a fucking amateur.
00:05:48
Speaker
And now this.
00:05:50
Speaker
And now for step two.
00:05:51
Speaker
Topic number two.
00:05:55
Speaker
Recently, it was Indigenous Peoples Day, celebrating and honoring Indigenous American peoples and commemorating their histories and cultures.
00:06:04
Speaker
I overheard two, of course, millennials talking about it at this gastropub near me.
00:06:10
Speaker
And one says, I feel bad for the Native Americans.
00:06:14
Speaker
Of course, I can't help myself.
00:06:17
Speaker
And I said, politely, really, do you really feel bad?
00:06:22
Speaker
Or do you think you should say that just because?
00:06:24
Speaker
She said, you don't feel bad?
00:06:26
Speaker
She was shocked when I said, no, I can agree it's wrong to steal and steal land and hurt people, but I can't feel bad about something that A, happened centuries ago and B, that I had nothing to do with.
00:06:39
Speaker
I don't feel bad about slavery either.
00:06:41
Speaker
Now, of course, their heads are exploding, but I said, you're not listening.
00:06:45
Speaker
If you want to call it semantics, go ahead.
00:06:47
Speaker
But of course, slavery is indeed wrong.
00:06:49
Speaker
But how come no one ever feels bad about the slavery that currently exists literally in every country and at a greater scale now than back when America had slaves, slaves that were sold by Africa to America?
00:07:03
Speaker
Do you feel bad about the child slaves and the people sold to human trafficking like was covered in The Sound of Freedom?
00:07:09
Speaker
And of course, they had not seen the movie.
00:07:11
Speaker
I said, watch the movie.
00:07:13
Speaker
Then you'll feel bad because that's going on now.
00:07:17
Speaker
Human trafficking is a multi-billion dollar industry worldwide.
00:07:22
Speaker
Child slaves mind the earth for your electric car batteries.
00:07:26
Speaker
Slaves are in concentration camps in China right now.
00:07:31
Speaker
You want to feel bad for someone?
00:07:32
Speaker
Feel bad for the victims of Epstein's Island.
00:07:35
Speaker
Forgot about them, didn't you, amateurs?
00:07:37
Speaker
As austerewyatt1 said on Instagram, Crazy how the internet cannot eliminate child pornography, the root demand for child trafficking, but can censor, block, and delete all conspiracy theories and facts.
00:07:51
Speaker
Oh, and contact trace those who've been in contact with COVID, but not those who steal and molest kids.
00:07:59
Speaker
I don't feel guilty for not feeling bad for atrocities not committed by me centuries ago.
00:08:08
Speaker
It doesn't mean I don't agree that it was wrong, but it happened.
00:08:11
Speaker
So go ahead and feel bad and enjoy your freedom.
00:08:15
Speaker
Being first on a land and founding and creating a nation, a nation with laws and structure, are two different things.
00:08:22
Speaker
In Newsflash, every country on this planet involved taking that land from some other group of people.
00:08:28
Speaker
Don't feel bad that you don't feel bad.
00:08:30
Speaker
I agree mistreating human beings is wrong, of course.
00:08:33
Speaker
I got shit to do, though.
00:08:34
Speaker
If you feel so bad about what we did to the Native Americans, then give up your land and your stuff to them.
00:08:40
Speaker
Or go work for them.
00:08:42
Speaker
You want people to get reparations?
00:08:44
Speaker
Donate your stuff.
00:08:46
Speaker
Don't take from everyone because you feel bad.
00:08:49
Speaker
Yeah, that's what I thought.
00:08:50
Speaker
I
Political Criticism and Hypocrisy
00:08:51
Speaker
saw Ukraine on the news change my profile pic.
00:08:54
Speaker
Criminal George Floyd got killed.
00:08:56
Speaker
Feel bad for all black people.
00:08:58
Speaker
You're also assuming that all people who had their land taken were good people.
00:09:02
Speaker
I'm sure some, maybe many, were assholes.
00:09:05
Speaker
I hate to state the obvious, but people can be evil regardless of color.
00:09:09
Speaker
Idi Amin, Pol Pot, Mao Zedong, Mussolini, hell, Pablo Escobar.
00:09:14
Speaker
Yeah, yeah, colonialism.
00:09:16
Speaker
Nice all-encompassing term because you won't admit that every race is full of amateurs.
00:09:21
Speaker
So feel free to feel bad about Native Americans several hundred years ago, or maybe channel those bad feelings for the innocent victims in Israel.
00:09:30
Speaker
Or how about this?
00:09:32
Speaker
You've seen this headline.
00:09:33
Speaker
Hillary Clinton calls for formal deprogramming of Trump cult members.
00:09:39
Speaker
Oh, you called for it?
00:09:40
Speaker
Then I call for the immediate arrest of Hillary Clinton among other NWO leaders.
00:09:45
Speaker
Her statement tells me three things.
00:09:47
Speaker
A, she's literally a complete unquestionable fascist.
00:09:51
Speaker
B, she's scared.
00:09:53
Speaker
C, she's desperate.
00:09:55
Speaker
Commie Chinadian dictator and former blackface wearer fascist Justin Trudeau said, The very concept of a nation founded by European settlers is offensive to me.
00:10:06
Speaker
Old stock white Canadians are an unpleasant relic and quite frankly, replaceable.
00:10:11
Speaker
And we will replace them.
00:10:13
Speaker
Sounds like a person of power who is all about making sure people aren't mistreated, right?
00:10:18
Speaker
You want to feel bad about mistreated people?
00:10:21
Speaker
Try feeling bad about the entire current American middle class being mistreated, overtaxed, persecuted, censored, canceled, tracked, traced, threatened, and don't forget poisoned by big pharma, all of which is orchestrated by our own government.
00:10:38
Speaker
Funny how when Trump was building the wall at the Mexican border, it was racist.
00:10:42
Speaker
Now that 7 million illegals, and yes, they are illegal aliens, many of them criminals and human traffickers, drug dealers and violent criminals, have entered and infected America, President Coloring Book wants to finish the wall.
00:10:55
Speaker
Amateur Nation is now silent.
00:10:57
Speaker
As I said last week, Amateur Nation is rooted in hypocrisy.
00:11:02
Speaker
All this virtue signaling is exhausting, fake, and misplaced.
00:11:10
Speaker
Throughout the week, when you follow me on Instagram, Truth Social, and or Facebook, I bonus tease you with plenty of audiograms for next week's topics.

00:11:51

Speaker
There's been an odd shift in human behavior over the last 15 plus years.
Happiness and Contentment Discussion
00:12:18
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.

00:13:17
Speaker
Time's a bit of a factor here, so as much as I'd like to spend the day murdering all of you, I'm afraid we need to press on.
00:13:23
Speaker
All right, now step three.
00:13:25
Speaker
Topic number three.
00:13:26
Speaker
Hit me!
00:13:30
Speaker
I'm fascinated by happiness.
00:13:33
Speaker
When it comes to happiness, of course, everything is relative.
00:13:37
Speaker
I know someone who had gone through some really bad, horrible experiences as a child, all the way through their teens.
00:13:45
Speaker
And yet this person recently told me that this is the happiest they've ever been.
00:13:49
Speaker
And I believe them.
00:13:51
Speaker
I have a friend with a spouse who has gone through serious medical issues for at least four years straight with hardly a moment's rest or good health.
00:13:58
Speaker
And yet he seems pleasant, nonplussed, positive, and optimistic.
00:14:03
Speaker
On the other hand, I know many people who, and yes, most of them are in Los Angeles, who by definition have it all, so to speak.
00:14:10
Speaker
Good health, freedom, no real crushing debt, a long future ahead, and they seem unhappy.
00:14:17
Speaker
Of course, I don't know their whole stories, but if I'm just going by the surface and what I see or by what I am literally told, they seem like they have no reason to be unhappy.
00:14:28
Speaker
So happiness really is indeed relative, and I have learned that as I have lived my life.
00:14:34
Speaker
I assumed that money, security, and wealth and power meant guaranteed happiness.
00:14:38
Speaker
I was smart enough to know, despite approaching my 39th year in the entertainment business, at least fame had nothing to do with happiness.
00:14:47
Speaker
And boy, I don't think it takes someone more than five minutes to go on the internet and see stories of some millennial crying about their despair and oppression and how they don't fit in and no one understands them and they got their pronouns wrong.
00:14:58
Speaker
But we must love them.
00:15:01
Speaker
And of course, daily stories about celebrities who seem to be happy but always seem to have some drama associated with them.
00:15:10
Speaker
Drugs, alcohol, abuse, giving or receiving abuse, financial difficulties, being involved in something terrible like child trafficking or bank fraud or Epstein's Island.
00:15:19
Speaker
You see Britney Spears dancing around with knives and we laugh and I'm certainly one of those people who makes jokes about it.
00:15:26
Speaker
And of course, not everyone in Los Angeles who is famous is unhappy.
00:15:30
Speaker
But when I lived in Los Angeles, and of course now that I've escaped, I'm what they would call a working entertainer.
00:15:36
Speaker
You may have never heard of me.
00:15:37
Speaker
I'm not a household name.
00:15:39
Speaker
But those working entertainers are the people who don't have the problems and issues I just mentioned.
00:15:45
Speaker
The more money you get, the more problems you got.
00:15:47
Speaker
I believe a rapper said that, he said nerdily.
00:15:50
Speaker
Nerd.
00:15:51
Speaker
Nerd.
00:15:52
Speaker
Dork.
00:15:52
Speaker
Geek.
00:15:53
Speaker
Nerd.
00:15:53
Speaker
But I'm not wrong.
00:15:54
Speaker
Amateur nation, that is, the most famous amateur nation populists seem absolutely miserable and hate-filled.
00:16:01
Speaker
The richest, most corrupt politicians are all angry and or stupid and always...
00:16:08
Speaker
are on the defense.
00:16:10
Speaker
Living your life always on the defense to have tens of millions of dollars bribed your way just so you can pretend to be happy.
00:16:18
Speaker
Does that seem like a good way to live your life?
00:16:22
Speaker
And the middle class and poor population of amateur nation choose not to see it.
00:16:27
Speaker
That's beyond stupid.
00:16:29
Speaker
The amateur nation elite are corrupt, miserable, hate-filled, and full of divisiveness.
00:16:35
Speaker
And that's who they side with?
00:16:38
Speaker
The ones who seem the happiest, the ones who are conservative and are centered, calm, confident, at peace.
00:16:46
Speaker
The Mark Wahlbergs, James Woods, Adam Sandlers, Vince Vaughns, Kurt Russells, Dean Cainz, Tom Sellecks, Clint Eastwood, Scott Baos, Tim Allens, Chuck Norris', John Voigt', Andy Garcias, Patricia Heaton's, Kevin Sorbo's, Gary Sinise's, Kurt Cameron, Sylvester Stallone's, Jim Caviezel's.
00:17:03
Speaker
Yes, they're on social media, but it's not their identity.
00:17:06
Speaker
Their pics...
00:17:08
Speaker
are of their family.
00:17:10
Speaker
Posts talk about gratitude.
00:17:12
Speaker
Their rants are pro-America.
00:17:15
Speaker
No, they're not perfect people.
00:17:17
Speaker
Yes, of course they're flawed.
00:17:18
Speaker
And no, they're not problem-free.
00:17:20
Speaker
No, they aren't without skeletons, I'm sure.
00:17:23
Speaker
But the famous in amateur nation,
00:17:25
Speaker
are all about rage, feelings, real hate, and divisiveness.
00:17:29
Speaker
I will not perform for such and such people.
00:17:31
Speaker
And these people are not allowed to my shows.
00:17:34
Speaker
Remember Pink demanding that people who don't support gay and trans people stop listening to her shitty music?
00:17:40
Speaker
That's not taking a stand.
00:17:41
Speaker
That's being against the very thing you claim to be for.
00:17:44
Speaker
That is inclusivity and understanding.
00:17:46
Speaker
There's some understanding in having a conversation and loving one another.
00:17:51
Speaker
The famous and amateur nation are always griping, divisive, basking in oppression, displaying some kind of neurosis.
00:17:59
Speaker
Their children are like ornaments.
00:18:02
Speaker
Marriages come and go.
00:18:03
Speaker
Weight issues, drug and alcohol issues.
00:18:05
Speaker
They're in rehab on and off.
00:18:07
Speaker
Everything they're about is surface.
00:18:09
Speaker
Their mansion, their cars, their outlandish and outrageous clothing, hair and makeup.
00:18:14
Speaker
It's all marketed as individualism and sharing their truth.
00:18:18
Speaker
It reeks all
00:18:19
Speaker
of trying too hard.
00:18:21
Speaker
They live on social media.
00:18:24
Speaker
Social media becomes their entire identity.
00:18:26
Speaker
The famous and amateur nation are simply miserable people.
00:18:32
Speaker
Many have posted this before, but it's true.
00:18:35
Speaker
The NWO, those highest in power in amateur nation want you godless, sexless, genderless, childless, depressed, anxious, afraid, fat, drug addicted, lonely, physically weak, mentally weak, in debt, isolated, living in a pod, eating bugs, and dependent on the state for all your needs.
Amateur Nation's Goals and Criticism of New World Order
00:18:53
Speaker
I've said that many different ways many times on this show.
00:18:57
Speaker
You think it's an exaggeration?
00:18:59
Speaker
Look at posts on social media from those in Amateur Nation.
00:19:03
Speaker
Amateur Nation mocks religion at every turn.
00:19:06
Speaker
You're foolish if you have faith in any form.
00:19:09
Speaker
You'll see words like cult and hypnosis.
00:19:12
Speaker
Really?
00:19:13
Speaker
Really?
00:19:14
Speaker
Get another booster and put your mask on, amateur.
00:19:17
Speaker
They want you sexless.
00:19:19
Speaker
Bring on the abortions.
00:19:20
Speaker
Besides, who needs sex?
00:19:22
Speaker
Cue the self-empowerment.
00:19:24
Speaker
They want you genderless.
00:19:25
Speaker
Do I really need to get into that subject?
00:19:28
Speaker
Between the mental illness that most transgender display and the readiness at which adults are willing to mutilate themselves and parents who are willing to destroy their children's sexuality and gender is astonishing.
00:19:40
Speaker
Well, balls come and balls go when you think about it.
00:19:44
Speaker
They want you childless.
00:19:45
Speaker
See, pathetic human Chelsea Handler as she continues to convince herself she's fulfilled living alone as an alcoholic.
00:19:53
Speaker
They want you depressed.
00:19:55
Speaker
Amateur Nation revels in depression.
00:19:58
Speaker
That's their identity.
00:20:01
Speaker
They want you anxious.
00:20:02
Speaker
See, depressed.
00:20:04
Speaker
They want you afraid.
00:20:05
Speaker
Fear is a great marketing tool.
00:20:07
Speaker
For Amateur Nation, it comes in the forms of riots, looting, marching, and yelling.
00:20:11
Speaker
COVID.
00:20:14
Speaker
Amateur Nation wants you fat.
00:20:15
Speaker
Don't forget, fat is healthy now.
00:20:17
Speaker
Just ask the editors of Cosmo and other women's magazines.
00:20:21
Speaker
Funny how men aren't sold that lie.
00:20:25
Speaker
Amateur Nation wants you drug addicted.
00:20:27
Speaker
Hail Big Pharma!
00:20:28
Speaker
Big Pharma will save us all!
00:20:30
Speaker
Why rest, diet and exercise when shots and pills will do the trick?
00:20:34
Speaker
Or recreational drugs?
00:20:35
Speaker
I took too much ecstasy in my 20s, so nothing makes me happy anymore.
00:20:39
Speaker
Amateur Nation wants you lonely.
00:20:41
Speaker
You don't need a spouse.
00:20:43
Speaker
You don't need to go out and do things with people.
00:20:45
Speaker
Stay inside, stream stuff, play video games, have some temporary company and get on Tinder for one night.
00:20:52
Speaker
Amateur Nation wants you physically weak.
00:20:54
Speaker
Remember my past episode not too long ago where I cited articles saying that conservatives who like fitness are akin to Nazi Germany.
00:21:02
Speaker
Ludicrous.
00:21:03
Speaker
Amateur Nation wants you mentally weak.
00:21:05
Speaker
Stay on social media.
00:21:07
Speaker
Stay indoors.
00:21:08
Speaker
Eat crap.
00:21:09
Speaker
Take drugs.
00:21:09
Speaker
Get DoorDash.
00:21:10
Speaker
Watch empty CGI-driven horror movies and Marvel movies that are remakes, redos, and reboots of comic books.
00:21:16
Speaker
Books?
00:21:17
Speaker
Why read a book when you can stream a movie?
00:21:20
Speaker
Amateur Nation wants you in debt.
00:21:22
Speaker
Buy a fucking spoon on Amazon and they'll break it down into payments for you.
00:21:26
Speaker
Pay this streaming service and this one and this one and your cell bill.
00:21:30
Speaker
Lease an electric vehicle.
00:21:32
Speaker
Unusual Whales on Instagram mentions that 18% of millennials and 12% of Gen Zers say they believe they will never be able to own a home.
00:21:42
Speaker
Amateur Nation wants you isolated slash living in a pod.
00:21:46
Speaker
As evil incarnate Klaus Schwab himself said, you will own nothing and be happy.
00:21:51
Speaker
Hey, it's working for China, right?
00:21:53
Speaker
This is an absurd piece of jackditation.
00:21:56
Speaker
Jackditation?
00:21:58
Speaker
A specious or false premise?
00:22:00
Speaker
Amateur Nation wants you eating bugs.
00:22:02
Speaker
If it's good enough for Nicole Kidman to do it one time on camera in full makeup in a well-lighted studio, it's good enough for me forever.
00:22:10
Speaker
Time to watch Snowpiercer again.
00:22:13
Speaker
Amateur Nation wants you dependent on the state for all your needs, i.e.
00:22:19
Speaker
communism.
00:22:20
Speaker
I hate communists.
00:22:22
Speaker
All they do is boss people around.
00:22:28
Speaker
Most in Pro Nation have a mindset of, if you don't have the same beliefs as me, it's cool.
00:22:34
Speaker
Just stay out of my way and my face.
00:22:35
Speaker
We can peacefully coexist in public.
00:22:38
Speaker
Amateur Nation wants you off the earth.
00:22:41
Speaker
Exile, internment, gulag.
00:22:44
Speaker
Bankrupted in re-education camps.
00:22:47
Speaker
Amateur Nation, as I said last week, is literally the most hypocritical group of people I've ever seen.
00:22:52
Speaker
So don't tell me you're happy.
00:22:54
Speaker
An amateur nation.
00:22:54
Speaker
Don't tell me you'll be happy because you can have an abortion while you're on heroin as you cross the border while rioting and looting and not going to prison for it because there's no cops.
00:23:04
Speaker
That still would not make you happy, amateurs.
00:23:07
Speaker
Living a life of unstructured freedom of thought, movement, and action would not make you happy.
00:23:12
Speaker
Amateur Nation's idea is, free everything and then I'll be happy.
00:23:17
Speaker
It's the NWO mantra being sold.
00:23:19
Speaker
You will own nothing and you will be happy.
00:23:22
Speaker
Happiness and slavery and lack of financial and personal worth and accountability and responsibility.
00:23:29
Speaker
They're selling you the idea of we, the one government, will do the heavy lifting for you.
00:23:35
Speaker
Yes, we will get all the creature comforts, the rewards, the power.
00:23:38
Speaker
You'll get nothing but a chance to simply be.
00:23:41
Speaker
That is, be at the government's job we assign you.
00:23:44
Speaker
Be at home until we tell you you're not allowed to go out.
00:23:47
Speaker
You'll be without worry or stress.
00:23:49
Speaker
You know where your food, shelter, and transportation will come from.
00:23:53
Speaker
Isn't that easier?
00:23:53
Speaker
Right.
00:23:53
Speaker
Well, that sounds about as appetizing as a big plate of dirt or something.
00:24:00
Speaker
We get all the good stuff because we're doing all the heavy lifting.
00:24:05
Speaker
Let's get to the part where that's not ever going to happen and nothing in life is free.
00:24:10
Speaker
Now come to the realization that no, it will not make you happy.
00:24:13
Speaker
You're already fucking miserable, amateurs.
00:24:18
Speaker
So many friends of mine in Los Angeles would say something along the lines of, if I could just book a TV series or land a big movie role, then I would be happy.
00:24:26
Speaker
If I could just get a husband, then I'll be happy.
00:24:29
Speaker
If I could just make $1 million, then I'll be happy.
00:24:32
Speaker
No.
00:24:33
Speaker
Get happy first, then go do the other stuff.
00:24:37
Speaker
If you think circumstances or things that fall into your lap with minimal or no effort will make you happy, you are sadly mistaken.
00:24:45
Speaker
You might be satiated for a while, but you won't be long-term happy.
00:24:50
Speaker
Earning something, whether through sacrifice, hard work, searching, or a combination of all, is what will bring you the opportunity for happiness.
00:24:59
Speaker
Start by not settling and waiting for the right person to be your significant other.
00:25:05
Speaker
Working with what you got, the right career that brings fulfillment besides cash, will make you happy.
00:25:11
Speaker
Having faith in something, anything, besides your stupid, corrupt, current, bribery-filled communist government, start there.
00:25:18
Speaker
That will make you happy.
00:25:20
Speaker
Thanks, Captain Bringdown.
Cinema and Comedy Films Observation
00:25:30
Speaker
It's time for a la carte, here we go.
00:25:33
Speaker
You can't possibly say life in America or around the world is better now with President Coloring Book at the helm.
00:25:39
Speaker
If you do, you're a pathetic disgrace.
00:25:42
Speaker
They're jerk offs.
00:25:44
Speaker
I know we were talking about happiness earlier.
00:25:47
Speaker
Speaking of which, you notice there's not a lot of comedies being made in the movie world?
00:25:54
Speaker
Movies are pretty much in these categories.
00:25:56
Speaker
Comic book crap, remakes, prequels, sequels, reboots, horror, torture, drama.
00:26:01
Speaker
When was the last time there was a quality adult comedy in theaters or available for streaming?
00:26:07
Speaker
The New World Order doesn't want you happy and laughing.
00:26:10
Speaker
Do yourself a favor.
00:26:12
Speaker
Go support live stand-up comedy.
00:26:16
Speaker
Laugh.
00:26:17
Speaker
Lose some stress.
00:26:18
Speaker
Ha ha ha ha ha!
00:26:19
Speaker
Well, well, well, so BLM is for and supporting Hamas.
00:26:24
Speaker
If BLM is behind it, I'm automatically against it.
00:26:27
Speaker
Funny how amateur nation has casually thrown around the Nazi name calling of conservatives and now those same people are openly brandishing swastikas.
00:26:38
Speaker
I guess the border wall isn't racist anymore now that it's President Coloring Book's idea.
00:26:43
Speaker
What was that, amateur nation?
00:26:45
Speaker
Nothing?
00:26:46
Speaker
Yep, that's what I thought.
00:26:47
Speaker
Because you're amateurs.
00:26:49
Speaker
Ever notice no one, famous or otherwise, announces they're switching to the Democrat Party?
00:26:56
Speaker
Or fleeing the Republican Party?
00:26:59
Speaker
Here's a hot stop tip.
00:27:01
Speaker
The all electric car company Lucid, the car motor trend named car of the year in 2022, loses $338,000 for every vehicle it makes this year.
00:27:09
Speaker
By the way, you can lease a Lucid Air Pure for only $749 a month with just $8,069 down.
00:27:12
Speaker
Lucid, the car for everyone.
00:27:13
Speaker
Hey, I got an idea.
00:27:15
Speaker
How about no?
00:27:28
Speaker
I've never had to qualify something as my truth.
00:27:31
Speaker
My truth is the amateur's way of saying I just said something so truth.
00:27:38
Speaker
I recently bought some heavy duty work gloves that have strong rubberized grips on the palms and fingers.
00:27:45
Speaker
The packaging mentioned that the gloves have SRS, also known as a sweat removal system, which is a small piece of felt on the thumb to wipe away sweat when I'm working.
00:27:58
Speaker
SRS.
00:27:59
Speaker
Oh, you mean my thumb?
00:28:00
Speaker
Yeah, it's right next to my index finger, my mucus removal system.
00:28:05
Speaker
It seems like the more effed up the topics are, the harder it is for me to find three pro things, but damn it, I find them
Gender Issues in Sports
00:28:14
Speaker
every week.
00:28:14
Speaker
Three things that are done right.
00:28:16
Speaker
This is three pro things.
00:28:18
Speaker
Here's number one.
00:28:22
Speaker
Once again, funny how if men and women are the same, you don't see any women trying to compete against men in men's professional sports.
00:28:29
Speaker
I won't even call them trans athletes.
00:28:31
Speaker
It's literally men who cheat in sports.
00:28:34
Speaker
Oh, wait, hang on.
00:28:35
Speaker
This just in.
00:28:36
Speaker
The Swimming World Cup category for transgender athletes has been canceled due to receiving zero entries.
00:28:43
Speaker
I guess it's no fun when you don't get a guaranteed win and attention.
00:28:48
Speaker
It was never about having their own spaces.
00:28:50
Speaker
It's about invading women's spaces.
00:28:53
Speaker
This pro post by at G Mark Phillips on Instagram.
00:28:58
Speaker
Instead of offering women's psychological services to become comfortable with men being in their locker rooms, why are we not offering men who identify as women psychological services so they can become comfortable being in men's locker rooms?
00:29:14
Speaker
Number two.
00:29:18
Speaker
Amateur Nation Wants Equity, a simple three-syllable word, except Amateur Nation never said nor used that word until the media told them
Equity vs. Equality Debate
00:29:26
Speaker
about it.
00:29:26
Speaker
As always, equity is another word they don't dive into, but rather chant and recite without considering the meaning and the real consequences of throwing equity at everything that they want without earning it.
00:29:38
Speaker
This audio from Professor Glenn Lurie, Professor of Economics at Brown University on Equity.
00:29:44
Speaker
Finally, I want to say equity is not equality.
00:29:50
Speaker
Equity, and I could name them, but I won't.
00:29:53
Speaker
The writers in the US who are so prominent now in, Ibram X. Kendi comes to mind.
00:30:01
Speaker
In promoting a certain ideology, assert, I see a disparity, I want equity.
00:30:07
Speaker
And by equity, they mean an equal representation.
00:30:10
Speaker
This is not equality.
00:30:13
Speaker
If you use a different standard of assessment in order to achieve equity, you've just patronized me.
00:30:19
Speaker
You've just communicated tacitly that you don't think I'm capable of performing according to the objective criteria of assessment as well as anybody else.
00:30:30
Speaker
I am now your client.
00:30:32
Speaker
I am now a ward.
00:30:35
Speaker
I go or come by your leave.
00:30:39
Speaker
This argument that we blacks must be made equal and you have to open up the doors and let us in, never mind that our test scores are not as great, is pathetic.
00:30:50
Speaker
It's a surrender of dignity.
00:30:52
Speaker
You will not be equal at the end of that argument, even if you get what you ask for.
00:30:57
Speaker
There's no substitute for earning the respect of your peers.
00:31:02
Speaker
If they grant it to you out of guilt or pity, they have just reduced you, not elevated you.
00:31:10
Speaker
Number three.
00:31:13
Speaker
Might as well tag on to that sentiment with this post by Charlie Kirk.
00:31:16
Speaker
I'll believe in white privilege the day I hear a single story of a black student claiming to be white on their college application to help them get in.
00:31:28
Speaker
Copy and paste the link from whatever platform you listen on and send it to a fellow pro or an amateur that is doing life wrong.
00:31:35
Speaker
And please leave a review.
00:31:36
Speaker
Watch me go after amateurs on my Drybar special, drybarcomedy.com slash L-O-U-S.
Podcast Purpose and Conclusion
00:31:42
Speaker
Amateur Nation is not just a podcast.
00:31:45
Speaker
It's a movement.
00:31:46
Speaker
Remember, amateurs, we see you.
00:31:50
Speaker
You're not at home.
00:31:51
Speaker
Don't do life wrong.
00:31:54
Speaker
Go pro.
00:31:55
Speaker
Don't be an amateur.
00:31:56
Speaker
For Amateur Nation, I'm Lou Santini, and this has been a big major production.
00:32:08
Speaker
Hey, I got an idea.
00:32:14
Speaker
How about no?
