Podcast's Real-Life Inspirations
00:01:01
Speaker
Warning.
00:01:02
Speaker
The podcast you are about to hear is often based on true events and people.
00:01:07
Speaker
It chronicles the dialogue and actions of random, anonymous, obnoxious, self-entitled, unintelligent, self-centered idiots.
00:01:14
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.
00:01:25
Speaker
In one word, amateurs.
00:01:27
Speaker
Amateurs.
00:01:28
Speaker
It's Amateur Nation with Lou Santini.
00:01:30
Speaker
Santini.
00:01:33
Speaker
Governor Santini?
00:01:34
Speaker
No, comedian and host Santini.
00:01:36
Speaker
On this show, we call attention to and call out the amateurs.
00:01:40
Speaker
The people who are doing life wrong.
00:01:42
Speaker
The speed bumps of life.
00:01:43
Speaker
The people
Impact of Self-Awareness on Society
00:01:44
Speaker
that are in your way every day.
00:01:45
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 and are disturbing the flow of the pros.
00:01:59
Speaker
Hi, Mom.
00:01:59
Speaker
Oh, hey, Lou.
00:02:00
Speaker
Amateur Nation, it's not just a podcast, it's a movement.
00:02:03
Speaker
This conversation with Governor Santini is brought to you by Soylent Red and Soylent Yellow, high-energy vegetable concentrate, and new delicious Soylent Green, the miracle food of high-energy plankton gathered from the oceans of the world.
00:02:18
Speaker
Because of its enormous popularity, Soylent Green is in short supply.
00:02:22
Speaker
Remember, Tuesday is Soylent Green Day.
00:02:25
Speaker
And now, Governor Santini.
00:02:27
Speaker
I'm not a governor, although it does have a nice ring to it.
00:02:30
Speaker
And this is episode 214, Hashtag Hollywood Privilege.
00:02:36
Speaker
As always, fans first.
00:02:38
Speaker
Shouts out to Anna Worf from Moni, Illinois, and Pauly G70, Sarah Novosel, and Razvan Aline Chuisbayan, all following me on YouTube, at Lou Santini.
00:02:50
Speaker
And did you know...
00:02:52
Speaker
that there are three major holidays this week.
00:02:56
Speaker
February 26th is Tell a Fairy Tale Day.
00:03:00
Speaker
Once upon a time, there was a treasonous commie crime family leader who became president.
00:03:06
Speaker
February 28th is Public Sleeping Day.
00:03:10
Speaker
Well, for President Coloring Book, this is Every Day.
00:03:12
Speaker
And finally, March 3rd is Threesome Day.
00:03:17
Speaker
So do something nice for the special someones in your life.
00:03:20
Speaker
Good luck getting your girlfriend or wife into celebrating that one, men.
00:03:24
Speaker
Here's what's happening in Amateur Nation.
Madonna and Celebrity Aging: Critique or Ageism?
00:03:26
Speaker
Perhaps you had better start from the beginning.
00:03:28
Speaker
Topic number one.
00:03:30
Speaker
I need girl talk.
00:03:32
Speaker
Madonna is the LeBron James of pop music.
00:03:37
Speaker
Once respected, now a tarnished legacy.
00:03:42
Speaker
I know I'm going to take some heat for this topic with accusations of being petty and superficial and or misogynistic or ageist or sexist, but as always, the pros will stay with me.
00:03:55
Speaker
And for amateur nation listening, especially the young females, bite down on a pencil and deal with it.
00:04:01
Speaker
You just might learn something.
00:04:03
Speaker
I'm looking at this picture of Madonna at the recent Grammys, and you just know that her handlers, her agents, managers, publicists, personal trainers, nutritionists, lawyers, record executives, and other hangers-on are just telling her how amazing and fabulous she looks.
00:04:24
Speaker
eyebrows plucked randomly, while a thin pencil line of Nancy Pelosi-esque secondary eyebrows hover above.
00:04:32
Speaker
Then we have the giant frog lips, exaggerated fake eyelashes, pigtails, four in total, and the jolliness that simply comes with age.
00:04:41
Speaker
Topped off with an 80s Annie Lennox and the Eurythmics black suit and tie.
00:04:46
Speaker
An account by the name of Realize Really's perfectly stated, she looks like the Caucasian little Kim.
00:04:54
Speaker
In light of Madonna's ghastly appearance on the Grammys recently, stop it, she looks terrible, come on, I recently Googled female celebrities that have aged gracefully.
00:05:05
Speaker
It's a three-year-old article that popped up showing female celebs before and after, showing them in their youthful prime, so to speak, and now.
00:05:14
Speaker
Here are the results.
00:05:15
Speaker
I adjusted the ages accordingly because it's a three-year-old article.
00:05:19
Speaker
In no particular order, by the way.
00:05:21
Speaker
Cindy Crawford, now 53.
00:05:23
Speaker
She looks great.
00:05:24
Speaker
Now, did she have work done?
00:05:26
Speaker
I'm not sure, but I know she doesn't look freakish and like an alien.
00:05:30
Speaker
She still looks like herself and clearly has taken care of herself over the years.
00:05:35
Speaker
Jennifer Lopez, 53 also.
00:05:37
Speaker
Still can't act or sing, but looks pretty good for a white girl.
00:05:41
Speaker
Yeah, I know what I said.
00:05:43
Speaker
Julia Roberts, now 55, an overrated actress but still looks like she's aging gracefully.
00:05:49
Speaker
Angela Bassett, 64 years old.
00:05:51
Speaker
She looks great and looks the most natural.
00:05:55
Speaker
Goldie Hawn, 77.
00:05:57
Speaker
No, I disagree.
00:05:59
Speaker
Frog lips fail.
00:06:02
Speaker
Ohio's favorite coked-up hit-and-run criminal, Halle Berry, 55.
00:06:05
Speaker
That woman's just a freak of nature and looks fantastic.
00:06:10
Speaker
Jessica Lange, 73, and the best actress on this list, in my opinion.
00:06:15
Speaker
Zero work done, from what I can tell, and looks 10 years younger than her 73 years.
00:06:20
Speaker
Julie Andrews, 87.
00:06:23
Speaker
Not only looks great, but still looks like the Julie Andrews from back in the day.
00:06:26
Speaker
Just an older version, so to speak.
00:06:29
Speaker
Meryl Streep, 73.
00:06:31
Speaker
Does look her age and not bad for a Harvey Weinstein-worshipping commie.
00:06:35
Speaker
Michelle Pfeiffer, 64.
00:06:37
Speaker
Now, I met her once at an event I was emceeing in Los Angeles.
00:06:40
Speaker
And while I never thought she was like hot stuff on camera, she's quite beautiful in person and still looks fantastic today with what I believe to have no work done.
00:06:48
Speaker
Joan Collins, 89.
00:06:51
Speaker
Don't look no 89, that's for sure.
00:06:53
Speaker
Okay, let's get past the part where a man judges women's appearance.
00:06:56
Speaker
I think you're an asshole.
00:06:58
Speaker
Okay, whatever.
00:06:59
Speaker
Stay with me.
00:07:00
Speaker
This is a big picture topic.
00:07:02
Speaker
Fact of Lifetime.
00:07:06
Speaker
People look at and comment on others' appearances.
00:07:09
Speaker
Good, bad, and the ugly.
00:07:10
Speaker
It happens.
00:07:11
Speaker
A normal, sane pro understands that one's appearance is not a reflection of who they are, their moral compass, or their character.
00:07:19
Speaker
Happy now, amateurs out there who might be listening?
00:07:23
Speaker
It's still my favorite drop.
00:07:25
Speaker
Now, there is a point to all of this.
00:07:27
Speaker
What do all these women have in common?
00:07:30
Speaker
They all still look like women.
00:07:34
Speaker
They all look recognizable as their former selves and not like the embarrassing, pumpkin-headed, androgynous space alien that Madonna has become, as seen at the recent Grammys, which is the impetus to this topic.
00:07:48
Speaker
Now, I saw this article from NME.com, but found everywhere, Madonna blasts ageism and misogyny of those criticizing her Grammy look.
00:08:00
Speaker
I have never apologized for any of the creative choices I have made, nor the way that I look or dress, and I'm not going to start.
00:08:07
Speaker
I want somebody to pay a little attention to me.
00:08:10
Speaker
Yeah, you may not have ever apologized, but you sure felt the need to defend yourself.
00:08:15
Speaker
The article says this.
00:08:17
Speaker
Madonna is pushing back against social media criticism of her look at the 2023 Grammy Awards, calling the backlash ageism and misogyny that detracted from the historical importance of Sam Smith and Kim Petra's moment.
00:08:31
Speaker
Ah, yes, the historical importance.
00:08:34
Speaker
The JFK assassination.
00:08:35
Speaker
The first men on the moon.
00:08:36
Speaker
9-11.
00:08:38
Speaker
I'll always remember where I was when two attention-starved, overrated Hollywood elite got even more praise despite being oppressed.
00:08:46
Speaker
Smith, who is non-binary.
00:08:48
Speaker
Oh, and I thought it was called Who Caresness.
00:08:51
Speaker
I agree.
00:08:52
Speaker
And Petrus, a trans woman.
00:08:54
Speaker
I don't care.
00:08:56
Speaker
I agree.
00:08:57
Speaker
The award for the best solo pop duo group performance for their mega hit Unholy, which they also performed.
00:09:05
Speaker
Madonna commented, instead of focusing on what I said in my speech, which was about giving thanks for the fearlessness of artists like Sam and Kim, many people chose to talk only about close-up photos of me taken with a long lens camera by a press photographer that would distort anyone's face.
00:09:21
Speaker
If you're gonna lie to me, tell me there's a broad waiting on the car.
00:09:23
Speaker
I want the tongue in my balls.
00:09:24
Speaker
Yeah, okay.
00:09:27
Speaker
A, nice deflection.
00:09:28
Speaker
Don't look at me.
00:09:30
Speaker
And if you did, here's my excuse for my appearance.
00:09:33
Speaker
B. Notice how she combined a recap of her virtue signaling speech and then made it about her.
00:09:40
Speaker
But don't focus on her.
00:09:42
Speaker
Focus on her speech about the oppressed.
00:09:46
Speaker
C. How would you know which camera and what kind of camera took your pictures?
00:09:54
Speaker
D. A long time ago, when Madonna was relevant and a pioneer, I remember when she got busted, so to speak, when old black and white nude photos of her, many of which were with another woman, were discovered and published in Penthouse Magazine.
00:10:09
Speaker
And I remember seeing this.
00:10:10
Speaker
The pictorial, frankly, was gentle, feminine, and very artful in composition.
00:10:16
Speaker
I've seen more nudity on the FXX network, frankly.
00:10:19
Speaker
I realized it was a different time then.
00:10:21
Speaker
It was late 80s, perhaps.
00:10:23
Speaker
And I remember the press asking her, what do you have to say about this?
00:10:27
Speaker
And I remember her responding to the press basically with, yeah, and, and the story went away.
00:10:36
Speaker
Again, a different time then, when the press wasn't the complete commie shit show it is today.
00:10:41
Speaker
Yes, she was younger, hungrier, quickly climbing the ladder to icon status.
00:10:46
Speaker
She was natural looking, and what's more, those pictures had been taken long before she was a recording artist, as she mentioned that she was broke at the time and simply needed the money.
00:10:56
Speaker
That being said, E.
00:11:00
Speaker
If you're the strong, confident woman who doesn't owe anyone answers and are indeed the icon the world has pretty much anointed you as, why the need to defend yourself?
00:11:10
Speaker
Frankly, her credibility would have been strengthened if she had done one of two things.
00:11:15
Speaker
A, said something like, yeah, I had work done.
00:11:17
Speaker
I stand by my choice, good or bad.
00:11:19
Speaker
Or B, said nothing.
00:11:23
Speaker
Once again, I am caught in the glare of ageism and misogyny that permeates the world we live in.
00:11:30
Speaker
No, no, it's the world you live in and chose.
00:11:35
Speaker
The world we pros live in involves keeping our lights on, buying eggs, and worrying about more spy balloons hovering over the United States.
00:11:43
Speaker
She says, a world that refuses to celebrate women past the age of 45.
00:11:47
Speaker
BELL RINGS
00:11:49
Speaker
Yeah, wrong.
00:11:50
Speaker
See my list mentioned earlier.
00:11:52
Speaker
And why do we have to celebrate everyone and every type of person?
00:11:56
Speaker
We pros only have 24 hours in our days.
00:11:59
Speaker
Anyway, let me backtrack.
00:12:01
Speaker
She said,
00:12:10
Speaker
Ah, way to compliment yourself, amateur.
00:12:13
Speaker
Madonna went on to say, I have never apologized for any of the creative choices I have made, nor the way that I look or dress, and I'm not going to start.
00:12:21
Speaker
I have been degraded by the media since the beginning of my career.
00:12:26
Speaker
No, you haven't.
00:12:28
Speaker
Exactly the opposite.
00:12:29
Speaker
You've been celebrated and put on a pedestal and because of it now have a net worth of $850 million.
00:12:40
Speaker
But I get it.
00:12:41
Speaker
You're oppressed.
00:12:43
Speaker
She says, but I understand that this is all a test and I'm happy to do the trailblazing so that all the women behind me can have an easier time in the years to come.
00:12:52
Speaker
Really?
00:12:53
Speaker
You do that for us lowlifes?
00:12:56
Speaker
Oh, hell, Madonna!
00:12:58
Speaker
You are no longer of any use to me.
00:12:59
Speaker
She concluded with the words, Bow down, bitches.
00:13:03
Speaker
Ah, gratitude.
00:13:05
Speaker
By the way, Madonna... Metal rules.
00:13:07
Speaker
Pre-
00:13:08
Speaker
Madonna, in the beginning, whether you liked her or not, was indeed a music trailblazer and a fashion pioneer.
00:13:16
Speaker
Paved the way for a lot of not only female pop singers, but pop singers in general.
00:13:20
Speaker
If she didn't know the world was correct in mentioning her desperate attempt to stay relevant, then she wouldn't feel the need to respond to the latest backlash.
00:13:29
Speaker
It's Insecurity 101.
00:13:30
Speaker
You want to be a superstar?
00:13:32
Speaker
I mean, a superstar?
00:13:34
Speaker
Public scrutiny, often in the form of superficiality, comes with the territory.
00:13:40
Speaker
And for the amateurs who defend Madonna with, leave her alone, she's a star and you're not.
00:13:46
Speaker
I know, I'm not famous, so I don't get an opinion.
00:13:50
Speaker
Like when I said actor Terrence Howard was a good actor, but not a legend.
00:13:55
Speaker
Like how people comment on professional athletes' performances.
00:13:59
Speaker
Madonna doesn't care about you.
00:14:03
Speaker
Just give her your money.
00:14:06
Speaker
Apparently, as lowlife scum, we're supposed to just sit and watch singers, actors, pro athletes, politicians, and all members of the privileged elite do their jobs and either praise them or shut up.
00:14:18
Speaker
You all suck and you always have.
00:14:21
Speaker
Now, does Madonna really look good for 64 years old, though?
00:14:27
Speaker
Really?
00:14:28
Speaker
You're telling me there aren't natural-looking women in your circle, the people listening to this show, in your life, who have not had tons of plastic surgery that don't look as good, if not better, than Madonna?
00:14:40
Speaker
I know, amateurs.
00:14:41
Speaker
Hey, if I had her kind of money, I wouldn't care what I look like.
00:14:44
Speaker
And that speaks to your willingness to sell your soul.
00:14:48
Speaker
And considering she was never that hot or beautiful to begin with, maybe she could just age gracefully.
00:14:54
Speaker
She paved the way for women in pop music, had a hugely successful career, reinvented her look several times.
00:15:02
Speaker
She could have gone with the time to set an example and age gracefully and speak maturely for and to the young women of America look.
00:15:11
Speaker
Nope.
00:15:12
Speaker
So here's yet another area where I get into trouble with this Madonna story.
00:15:18
Speaker
If I say something, calling out this freak show for trying to kid herself and others that she is as young-looking and relevant as her musical counterparts, like, say, Areola Grande, then I'm, what, sexist, ageist, objectifying women, when in reality, I'm merely calling attention to her shocking, unnecessary desperation, and I'll add some mild form of mental illness or body dysmorphia or delusion and sadness.
00:15:46
Speaker
Had she not responded to criticism, especially so poorly, so crassly, so immaturely, this wouldn't be a topic on this show.
00:15:56
Speaker
And then, if I bring up her age and the fact that I'm sure there are, yes, millions of women around the world that are her age that look better than her, then I'm focusing too much on women's looks.
00:16:08
Speaker
And again, objectifying women.
00:16:11
Speaker
So, let's all pretend that looks in Hollywood and entertainment and in life for women and men don't matter.
00:16:20
Speaker
Let's just pretend that.
00:16:23
Speaker
See morbidly obese Lizzo.
00:16:26
Speaker
She's brave and stunning and fierce.
00:16:29
Speaker
No one mentions morbidly obese and a candidate for a heart attack and heart disease and diabetes.
00:16:34
Speaker
The fact is literally in front of your faces.
00:16:36
Speaker
And yes, there are many attractive obese men and women out there, but somehow it's not objectifying them if I agree with amateur nation and say, Madonna looks great.
00:16:46
Speaker
She doesn't.
00:16:47
Speaker
Hey, Madonna is the one prancing around pretending to look young.
00:16:52
Speaker
Not younger.
00:16:53
Speaker
Young.
00:16:54
Speaker
And doing a bad job of it.
00:16:55
Speaker
If you don't want the attention, lock it up and stay inside.
00:16:59
Speaker
This is the price of fame.
00:17:02
Speaker
That is the ticket she punched.
00:17:06
Speaker
Then comes the argument, well, it's not fair.
00:17:08
Speaker
Men can age without plastic surgery and get fat and lose their hair and they get gray and they aren't held to the same standards.
00:17:14
Speaker
I know.
00:17:17
Speaker
And, yeah, life isn't fair like that.
00:17:19
Speaker
Because men have no problems to deal with as they get older.
00:17:22

Our lives are picnics.

This post from Brian Klassen.
00:17:30
Speaker
He says, The irony is that her obsession with looking young at any cost reeks of ageism to me.
00:17:37
Speaker
Aging gracefully is true beauty.
00:17:40
Speaker
And by the way, I saw this headline.
00:17:42
Speaker
It said, bloated Leo DiCaprio is slammed for aging worse than Madonna.
00:17:47
Speaker
But Lizzo, fierce, amazing, stunning.
00:17:51
Speaker
Look, they don't know what they're talking about.
00:17:53
Speaker
And also, by the way, you know who's also 64 and was a musical artist at the exact same time Madonna started out and looks great and looks like a woman and herself?
Hollywood's Double Standards on Aging

Speaker
The Bengals front woman, Susanna Hoffs.
00:18:10
Speaker
Amateur nation, you can't change the rules and move the finish line anytime you want, deciding when it's okay to objectify women and when we have to applaud their bravery based on their plastic surgery or lack thereof.
00:18:24
Speaker
And again, don't forget, Hollywood doesn't care about you.
00:18:29
Speaker
Why do you care about them and their feelings?
00:18:32
Speaker
This is Hollywood.
00:18:33
Speaker
None of this is even remotely necessary.
00:18:35
Speaker
Amateur nation, empowering women, depending on the coin flip.
00:18:39
Speaker
And now this.
00:18:40
Speaker
Topic number two.
00:18:43
Speaker
We'll be back with more on the neediness and hypocrisy of the oppressed Hollywood elite.
00:18:47
Speaker
But now we have yet another story of trans men trying to cop a look and put one over on the empowered women.
00:18:54
Speaker
This headline from the New York Post, but found everywhere.
00:18:57
Speaker
Transgender woman charged with indecent exposure over Ohio YMCA incident.
00:19:03
Speaker
Here's the article.
00:19:04
Speaker
A transgender woman, translation creepy man, has been charged with indecent exposure after allegedly stripping naked in front of women and girls at an Ohio YMCA, authorities said.
00:19:16
Speaker
Rachel Glynes, 31, whose legal first name is Darren, was charged with three counts of indecent exposure in connection with at least three incidents.
00:19:26
Speaker
at the Xenia YMCA dating back to 2021 and 2022.
00:19:31
Speaker
Women reported seeing a naked male in the female's locker room, including when three underage girls were present, according to the outlet, which cited court records.
00:19:39
Speaker
A woman who was at the Y with her two daughters, a 13-year-old and a 16-year-old, said she was upset and shaken when she saw a completely naked man who was facing away from his locker and completely exposed to the rest of the locker area.
00:19:52
Speaker
Okay, kill him!
00:19:54
Speaker
I'm a problem with that.
00:19:55
Speaker
She asked him if he was a woman, to which the man replied that he was, according to a police report.
00:20:02
Speaker
Ah, well, case closed.
00:20:03
Speaker
Women, next time this happens, identify as a cop.
00:20:08
Speaker
The woman claimed the director of the Y told her men could not be kept out of the women's locker room.
00:20:14
Speaker
I'll read that again.
00:20:16
Speaker
The woman claimed the director of the YMCA told her men could not be kept out of the women's locker room.
00:20:24
Speaker
The article continues.
00:20:26
Speaker
Xenia City Council President William Urschel recently addressed the incident during a discussion at a Greene County Tea Party meeting.
00:20:33
Speaker
So she went to the front desk and said, hey, I don't know if you know what's going on, but there's a naked man in there, Urschel said.
00:20:38
Speaker
She was informed, no, this is actually a woman and that you shouldn't be disturbed by this, he added.
00:20:46
Speaker
Oh, well, thanks for telling me.
00:20:47
Speaker
I feel better.
00:20:49
Speaker
Except for that penis swinging back and forth in front of my two underage daughters.
00:20:53
Speaker
So I'm not seeing what I'm seeing?
00:20:55
Speaker
Got it.
00:20:55
Speaker
Two plus two equals five.
00:20:58
Speaker
A city rep told WHIO that Urschel's comments were his own and were not authorized by or on behalf of the rest of the city council, the mayor, the city manager, or the law director.
00:21:10
Speaker
Don't you love that?
00:21:11
Speaker
How they all stick together.
00:21:14
Speaker
The spokesperson added that the city's law department did not plan to bring charges against the YMCA.
00:21:20
Speaker
The rep told the outlet neither the Xenia City Council nor any member of the council had any part in the decision to file public indecency charges regarding the use of the YMCA's locker rooms.
00:21:31
Speaker
The decision to file charges was based on the facts presented to the law department by the Xenia Police Division and the language of state statute, the spokesperson added.
00:21:42
Speaker
In a statement, the YMCA of Greater Dayton said it adheres to Ohio and federal laws and anti-discrimination laws which allow all members access to its facilities and programs, regardless of religion, national origin, race, color, sex, age, disability, gender identity, or sexual orientation.
00:22:02
Speaker
It added that it has a strong record of both protecting personal privacy and modesty in our facilities, which are both safe and accommodating while serving and including all members of the community equally.
00:22:15
Speaker
Yeah, they have a strong record of protecting personal privacy and modesty in their facilities, which are both safe and accommodating.
00:22:24
Speaker
I like how they, by the way, let me just pat ourselves on the back here.
00:22:27
Speaker
So where is that woman and her two underage daughters being protected?
00:22:33
Speaker
Where's their privacy being granted?
00:22:36
Speaker
The article says, given our strong record, again, don't break your arm patting yourself on the back, our adherence to the law, our dedication to inclusiveness, and our environment designed to protect personal privacy for all, we will not alter our current policies.
00:22:52
Speaker
The YMCA of Greater Dayton said, let it be known that under no circumstances will we investigate an individual's birth gender identity and then assign individuals to locker rooms.
00:23:03
Speaker
That would be counter to the law, counter to respect for all people.
00:23:07
Speaker
And it is not who or what we are as an organization.
00:23:10
Speaker
No, what you are is basically allowing pedophiles to infiltrate women's locker rooms.
00:23:15
Speaker
That's what you are.
00:23:16
Speaker
That is exactly what you are.
00:23:19
Speaker
They're trying to say, we don't have time to investigate an individual's birth gender identity.
00:23:24
Speaker
Yeah, you do.
00:23:26
Speaker
Make time.
00:23:27
Speaker
This is what I'm talking about.
00:23:28
Speaker
This is what I talked about in my book.
00:23:30
Speaker
Where the world is adjusting for the very noisy minority.
00:23:36
Speaker
There needs to be no more silent majority.
00:23:39
Speaker
It needs to be a noisy majority.
00:23:42
Speaker
Okay, now...
00:23:44
Speaker
This is not the first report like this, and it's the second one I've covered on this show.
00:23:50
Speaker
Now, we have to wait until a woman is assaulted, but more likely a child will be assaulted.
00:23:55
Speaker
Funny how America is reactionary and wants to ban all guns when there's a mass shooting involving a criminal who often has an illegal gun.
00:24:03
Speaker
But when underage children are around sexual predators exposing themselves, pretending to be something they're not, America does...
00:24:12
Speaker
Nothing.
00:24:12
Speaker
You know, we're living in a society.

There's been an odd shift in human behavior over the last 15 plus years.
00:25:35
Speaker
A sense of entitlement.
00:25:36
Speaker
A constant need for attention.
00:25:38
Speaker
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.

Speaker
Ever get denied a promotion or made it through several interviews for your dream job only to not quite get across the finish line?
00:26:50
Speaker
Remember when you went to the press to complain and tell everyone how it should have been you so as to embarrass yourself further?
00:26:56
Speaker
Oh, no?
00:26:57
Speaker
Oh, you went the pro route, grew up, and moved on.
00:26:59

That is so not the hashtag Hollywood privilege way.

Speaker
Danielle Deadweiler speaks out on Oscar snub.
00:27:09
Speaker
Academy voters chose not to see till...
00:27:13
Speaker
Here's the article.
00:27:15
Speaker
Danielle Deadweiler is speaking out on her Best Actress Oscar snub.
00:27:20
Speaker
The Till star addressed the misogynoir of Academy Awards voters when it comes to viewing contenders, speculating that Academy members most likely did not see the historical feature directed by, oh boy, Chinonye Chukwu.
00:27:36
Speaker
I did the best I could there.
00:27:37
Speaker
The actress added, I think the question is more on people who are living in whiteness.
00:27:42
Speaker
White people's assessment of the spaces they are privileged by.
00:27:46
Speaker
Wait, what are we doing?
00:27:47
Speaker
Yeah, that sound you hear are the pebbles rattling around in the empty skulls of amateur nation, nodding in agreement.
00:27:53
Speaker
Deadweiler is nominated for Best Actress at the BAFTA and SAG Awards, which is clearly not enough, and was recognized at the Critics' Choice Awards.
00:28:03
Speaker
Still not enough!
00:28:04
Speaker
The star likened the lack of diversity among Academy Award nominees this year as part of a systemic issue that transcends Hollywood.
00:28:13
Speaker
Get your thesauruses out.
00:28:14
Speaker
Here comes the $10 word salad.
00:28:16
Speaker
We've seen it exist in a governmental capacity.
00:28:19
Speaker
It can exist on a societal capacity, be it global or national.
00:28:23
Speaker
Then it has its residual effects.
00:28:25
Speaker
It is in our quotidian life.
00:28:27
Speaker
It is in our industries.
00:28:29
Speaker
It is a thing.
00:28:30
Speaker
Everyone has to assess and investigate, source out, and make more equitable.
00:28:34
Speaker
Nobody is absolved or not participating in racism and not knowing that there is a possibility of its lingering effect on the spaces and the institution.
00:28:44
Speaker
Whew!
00:28:45
Speaker
A. I wonder if she would have spotted off had she been nominated?
00:28:49
Speaker
Answer, no.
00:28:51
Speaker
B. I wonder if she would have spotted off had she been nominated but lost?
00:28:55
Speaker
Answer, yes.
00:28:57
Speaker
C. Quotidian means daily.
00:29:01
Speaker
D. Nobody is absolved of not participating in racism.
00:29:05
Speaker
Isn't that a double negative?
00:29:07
Speaker
So you're saying everyone is absolved in participating in racism.
00:29:11
Speaker
All right.
00:29:12
Speaker
E. Can I just dislike you because you're a spoiled sour grapes member of the Hollywood elite?
00:29:18
Speaker
I knew I hated you for a good reason.
00:29:20
Speaker
Hashtag Hollywood privilege.

Speaker
Actress Nia Long.
00:29:27
Speaker
Why wasn't I considered for Avatar?
00:29:30
Speaker
Zoe Saldana's amazing, but I wasn't even a topic of discussion.
00:29:35
Speaker
You remember Nia Long from soap operas and many movies like the iconic Boys in the Hood?
00:29:39
Speaker
You don't?
00:29:40
Speaker
Well, maybe that's why she wasn't even a topic of discussion for Avatar, the most boring, expensive movies ever made.
00:29:48
Speaker
I've felt passed over on things for sure, Long said.
00:29:51
Speaker
There have definitely been moments like, why wasn't I considered for that?
00:29:54
Speaker
Like, why wasn't I considered for Avatar?
00:29:56
Speaker
I think Zoe's amazing, but I wasn't even a topic of discussion, you know?
00:30:00
Speaker
Hey, by the way, there's a reason you may not have been considered.
00:30:02
Speaker
You have a crappy agent.
00:30:05
Speaker
That's your agent's job to get you a meeting.
00:30:08
Speaker
Case closed.
00:30:09
Speaker
Hollywood solved.
00:30:11
Speaker
The article says, although long admitted that a lot of times, to be fair, directors know in their minds who they want.
00:30:16
Speaker
Can you imagine?
00:30:18
Speaker
A person who is directing a movie already has a knee of what they want.
00:30:21
Speaker
She still finds herself feeling passed over for big Hollywood roles.
00:30:26
Speaker
Maybe it's because you're not a great actress and that your acting ability is only for these types of roles or at this level.
00:30:33
Speaker
But again, I only lived there for 24 years and saw it firsthand.
00:30:39
Speaker
She finds herself feeling passed over for Hollywood roles.
00:30:41
Speaker
You know, like 95% of actors working in Hollywood.
00:30:45
Speaker
Did you know when it comes to the entertainment union SAG-AFTRA, the stat is something like 90% of the actors paying into the union are only working like 10% of the time.
00:30:56
Speaker
I mean, those numbers aren't exact.
00:30:57
Speaker
And the exact numbers aren't as important as much as the stilted contributions to the union.
00:31:03
Speaker
Working actors like myself, when I lived in Hollywood for 24 years, get rejected daily, sometimes more than once in a day, often literally based on their appearance only, rather than their ability, thanks to quotas and diversity hires.
00:31:18
Speaker
But let's get back to the woman with a net worth of only $9 million.
00:31:23
Speaker
She says, I would love to do a film like Avatar because I'm really a fan and obsessed.
00:31:28
Speaker
I would even do a supporting role in a film like that because it's so magical and beautiful and there's so many lessons and a connection to Mother Nature, humanity, and race.
00:31:36
Speaker
I just think it's fantastical.
00:31:39
Speaker
You didn't get the job.
00:31:40
Speaker
You can stop sucking up.
00:31:42
Speaker
Long said that she has not recently had to audition for parts, but she certainly would if an opportunity for Avatar came along.
00:31:50
Speaker
That's important.
00:31:51
Speaker
For those of you who don't know, if you don't have to audition for things in Hollywood anymore and you're merely getting offers, meaning studios, directors, and production companies come to you, you've won.
00:32:03
Speaker
Ungrateful little bitches, aren't they?
00:32:05

Hashtag Hollywood privilege.
00:32:15

Roseanne Barr Releases First Stand-Up Special in Nearly 20 Years.
00:35:06
Speaker
Here's the article.
00:35:07
Speaker
Comedienne, I hate when they do that.
00:35:09
Speaker
She's a comedian.
00:35:10
Speaker
I know, actor, actress, you know, comedian, comedian, whatever.
00:35:15
Speaker
Comedienne Roseanne Barr, making a comeback on the comedy stage in a new TV special, railed against woke agendas and cancel culture.
00:35:22
Speaker
Barr was fired from the reboot of her sitcom, Roseanne, in 2018, which boasted the highest ratings of a new TV series in years.
00:35:32
Speaker
After posting a tweet about powerful Obama White House advisor Valerie Jarrett that stated, Muslim Brotherhood and Planet of the Apes had a baby.
00:35:41
Speaker
But...
00:35:43
Speaker
Barr later apologized, saying, I apologize to Valerie Jarrett and to all Americans.
00:35:48
Speaker
I am truly sorry for making a bad joke about her politics and her looks.
00:35:51
Speaker
I should have known better.
00:35:52
Speaker
Forgive me.
00:35:52
Speaker
My joke was in bad taste.
00:35:54
Speaker
But ABC still fired her.
00:35:57
Speaker
Roseanne Barr, cancel this, which is Barr's first new TV stand-up special in nearly two decades and aired on Fox Nation on February 13th.
00:36:07
Speaker
features the return to her no-holds-barred comedy pronouncing my pronouns are kiss my ass.
00:36:14
Speaker
Bar 70, who looks like herself, by the way, no plastic surgery, takes on the trend of asking children what their gender is, quipping, what is my gender, mom?
00:36:23
Speaker
What is my gender?
00:36:23
Speaker
Your gender is get a job.
00:36:25
Speaker
That's your gender.
00:36:26
Speaker
What are they thinking?
00:36:27
Speaker
Ask, what is a woman?
00:36:28
Speaker
She continues.
00:36:29
Speaker
They don't know that?
00:36:30
Speaker
That one they're asking all the time.
00:36:32
Speaker
What is a woman?
00:36:32
Speaker
I'll tell you what a woman is.
00:36:33
Speaker
A woman is me.
00:36:34
Speaker
That's what a woman is, okay?
00:36:35
Speaker
A woman is someone who cleans up everybody else's shit.
00:36:38
Speaker
That's what a woman is.
00:36:39
Speaker
A woman is somebody whose boobs hang down to her knees with a prolapsed uterus from giving birth to five ungrateful little privileged bitches that have never had to work for anything in their whole damn life, she jokes.
00:36:49
Speaker
Barr, who supported former President Trump, said in 2019 that her support may have been a factor in ABC's decision to fire her.
00:36:57
Speaker
She discussed her 2018 firing with the Los Angeles Times.
00:37:00
Speaker
It was a witch burning, and it was terrifying, she recalled.
00:37:01
Speaker
I would die many times.
00:37:03
Speaker
I guess you would call it the dark night of the soul.
00:37:19
Speaker
I felt like the devil himself was coming against me to tear me apart, to punish me for believing in God.
00:37:25
Speaker
They didn't do it to anyone else in Hollywood, although they always throw in Dave Chappelle and Louis C.K.
00:37:30
Speaker
Well, Louis C.K.
00:37:31
Speaker
did lose everything, but he committed an actual offense, and Dave Chappelle was protected by Netflix.
00:37:37
Speaker
I'm the only person who's lost everything, whose life's work was stolen, stolen by people who I thought loved me, and there was silence.
00:37:46
Speaker
She said she forgave those involved and believed that everything that had happened was part of God's plan.
00:37:51
Speaker
I don't think they'll ever stop trying to come after me, particularly now that I'm getting the last laugh on their ass.
00:37:56
Speaker
That's why I'm coming back.
00:37:58
Speaker
And she goes on to say, I never would have had that last laugh unless I'm strong enough to stand on two feet.
00:38:03
Speaker
And although I do have to wear adult diapers while doing it, I am not ever going to stop making fun of power and its arrogance.
00:38:10
Speaker
And I don't give a fuck what color it is.
00:38:12
Speaker
I'll be there.
00:38:13
Speaker
Make the most fucking fun of it that I can before I croak, she concluded.
00:38:18
Speaker
Isn't it funny how Madonna screams oppression and she's literally not lost anything, not time, not respect, certainly not money.
00:38:30
Speaker
Roseanne Barr lost a show, lots of time, lots of respect, lots of money.
00:38:38
Speaker
She's the real victim.
00:38:40
Speaker
but doesn't claim victimhood.
00:38:44
Speaker
She doesn't claim to be a victim her whole life.
00:38:48
Speaker
She doesn't scream oppression.
00:38:51
Speaker
She knows what she had.
00:38:53
Speaker
She lost friends.
00:38:56
Speaker
That's character.
00:38:57
Speaker
Number two.
00:39:00
Speaker
By now, you've heard about the train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio, of which caused a huge toxic cloud to cover the city, calling for a citywide evacuation and killing countless animals in its wake.
00:39:11
Speaker
Not to mention reports of humans being sick already and lawsuits being filed as I speak.
00:39:16
Speaker
You know, come on, it released vinyl chloride, butylacrylate, ethylhexylacrylate, and ethylene glycol monobutyl?
00:39:24
Speaker
The worst and most potentially deadly train derailment in American history?
00:39:28
Speaker
You didn't hear anything about it.
00:39:29
Speaker
Well, maybe because if this was in a blue state or city, it would be national news.
00:39:33
Speaker
But since it's in rural Ohio, a red state, it gets ignored.
00:39:37
Speaker
This on-point post by WakeUpRight on Instagram.
00:39:42
Speaker
If everything's okay in East Palestine, Ohio, I'd like to see Pete Buttigieg and Joe Biden prove it by visiting.
00:39:49
Speaker
Breathe the air and drink the water.
00:39:52
Speaker
Then I'll believe it.
00:39:53
Speaker
No word from Diversity Hire Pete Buttigieg on whether the train or its tracks were racist or not.
00:39:59
Speaker
Number three.
00:40:09
Speaker
Ooh, saving the best for last.
00:40:10
Speaker
I found a song about amateurs.
00:40:14
Speaker
And the best part is, it's by an amateur.
00:40:16
Speaker
Here's the skinny.
00:40:17
Speaker
The song is called Amateur by, of course, a trans woman named Ezra Furman, who is in an indie rock band called Ezra Furman and the Boyfriends.
00:40:28
Speaker
Now look, he sounds like a man but wears a dress like a woman, so his feelings in the dress make him a woman, of course, since that's how sexuality works now.
00:40:35
Speaker
According to Wikipedia, he plans to become a rabbi.
00:40:39
Speaker
Anyway, before I play it, I'd like to read part of the lyrics, and I do that because, frankly, some of the lyrics speak to being a pro, not an amateur.
00:40:49
Speaker
It's like he's admitting that his way of thinking and moving through life as an amateur is not working.
00:40:57
Speaker
even though he's currently living as an amateur and doesn't know it.
00:41:02
Speaker
He thinks living the life of a pro is amateur.
00:41:07
Speaker
Does that make sense?
00:41:09
Speaker
Take these lyrics, for example.
00:41:11
Speaker
He says, I want to be an amateur.
00:41:14
Speaker
That's what I would like to someday be.
00:41:16
Speaker
I want to be an amateur back like I used to be.
00:41:20
Speaker
I want to go down to the essence of
00:41:22
Speaker
down to the essence, down to my clumsy childhood essence.
00:41:26
Speaker
I want to be essentially unfiltered, free.
00:41:30
Speaker
On the one hand, that does sound pro, right?
00:41:33
Speaker
But what this adult is saying, I want to go back to being a kid when I don't have any responsibility and everything is done for me.
00:41:41
Speaker
But then comes this.
00:41:42
Speaker
I don't like power.
00:41:44
Speaker
I don't like hierarchy.
00:41:46
Speaker
I don't worship human power.
00:41:48
Speaker
The idea of enemy is not for me.
00:41:52
Speaker
The irony here is amateurs love the hierarchy.
00:41:57
Speaker
They only worship human power in the form of Hollywood celebrities, professional athletes, and the politicians telling them what to do.
00:42:08
Speaker
He says, I'm an American.
00:42:09
Speaker
I like to think that means real democracy.
00:42:12
Speaker
I want to be an amateur.
00:42:13
Speaker
When you're an amateur, you don't have the whole thing preconceived.
00:42:16
Speaker
You're flying blind.
00:42:17
Speaker
You didn't get a pricey art degree.
00:42:19
Speaker
Or if you did, that's fine.
00:42:22
Speaker
That's definitely a pro mindset there.
00:42:24
Speaker
Okay, so let's hear it.
00:42:25
Speaker
By the way, the singing style is everything you'd expect from a physically, mentally, and emotionally weak, whiny amateur.
00:42:38
Speaker
Ezra, take it away.
00:42:52
Speaker
I want to be an amateur.
00:42:55
Speaker
That's what I would like to someday be.
00:42:58
Speaker
I want to be an amateur.
00:43:02
Speaker
Back like I used to.
00:43:05
Speaker
I wanna go down to the essence, down to the essence, down to my clumsy childhood essence.
00:43:11
Speaker
I wanna be essentially unfiltered, free.
00:43:37
Speaker
I don't worship human power The idea of an elite is not for me I'm an American I'd like to think that means real democracy I wanna be an amateur When you're an amateur You don't have the whole thing preconceived You're flying blind
00:44:06
Speaker
You didn't get any pricey art degree, or if you did, that's fine.
00:44:13
Speaker
If you can forget your vocabulary, you got wings to fly.
00:44:19
Speaker
No sense keeping them folded neatly, take to the sky.
00:44:23
Speaker
Let me hear you strain your voice so sweetly.
00:44:29
Speaker
You got instincts, you got almond eyes.
00:44:33
Speaker
Get your feathers dirty, baby.
00:44:42
Speaker
stick with me I don't know anything I don't know anything at least that's how I'd like
