“Amateur Nation: a Nation of P***ies”
82 Plays2 years ago
*THIS WEEK:*
- I know your world will implode, amateurs! But “Science” just said that MASKS ARE BAD for you!
- Remember when you were a child and cheated certain death by playing ‘Tag”? Amateur parents will be happy to know your kids will never have to face that danger!
- How can millennials NOT be happy? I have the answer.
*On “A la Carte”:* I try to use logic and reason with millennials, and men still aren’t getting those periods they want so badly!
*On “3 Pro Things”:* a police officer rightfully burns a bridge in an already burning woke city, “toxic masculinity” re-examined, and who was the FIRST PRO in American History to call out amateur behavior?

Honor and Remember Flag
00:00:00
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.
00:00:10
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.

Entitlement and 'Amateur Nation' Book Discussion
00:00:33
Speaker
There's been an odd shift in human behavior over the last 15 plus years.

Speaker
Ironically coupled with the need to be left alone.
00:00:43
Speaker
A desire to be treated the same as everyone else.
00:00:46

Speaker
Welcome to the show, man.
00:01:47
Speaker
Welcome to the show, man.
00:01:53
Speaker
Warning, the podcast you are about to hear is often based on true events and people.
00:01:59
Speaker
It chronicles the dialogue and actions of random, anonymous, obnoxious, self-entitled, unintelligent, self-centered idiots, 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.
00:02:17
Speaker
In one word, amateurs.
00:02:18
Speaker
Amateurs.
00:02:21
Speaker
It's Amateur Nation with Lou Santini.
00:02:23
Speaker
And why exactly are you here?
00:02:25
Speaker
Well, we call attention to and call out the amateurs.
00:02:28
Speaker
The people who are doing life wrong.
00:02:31
Speaker
The speed bumps of life.
00:02:32
Speaker
The people that are in your way every day.
00:02:35
Speaker
The unintelligent, obnoxious, attention-whoring, self-entitled drama queen victim types who chip away the moments of your life due to no self-awareness, common sense, manners, or social skills and are disturbing the flow of the pros.
00:02:49
Speaker
Hi, Mom.
00:02:49
Speaker
Oh, hey, Lou.
00:02:50
Speaker
Amateur Nation.
00:02:51
Speaker
It's not just a podcast.
00:02:52
Speaker
It's a movement.
00:02:53
Speaker
And this is episode 241.
00:02:54
Speaker
Amateur Nation.
Social Issues Commentary and Critique of Elites
00:02:56
Speaker
A nation of pussies.
00:03:00
Speaker
On today's episode, mass crap, not it, and how is it that amateur millennials aren't happy?
00:03:06
Speaker
And, of course, nibbles on a la carte and a selection of things that are done right on three pro things.
00:03:12
Speaker
As always, pro nation first.
00:03:13
Speaker
Shouts out to at Jarena Saray and James Jensen 36 on Truth Social and Mel Pfaff, Casey Jadler, Kelly Martini 7, Brian Phillips 21, Chris Golian, Kim Uccellini, and Rob Lachelt on Instagram.
00:03:29
Speaker
Your post of the week, this apropos post regarding COVID, the pandemic and the Maui fires, East Palestine, and of course, the entire climate change hoax that I mentioned last week, where it listed a dozen or so fake headlines where certain parts of the globe are, quote, heating up faster than the rest of the earth.
00:03:47
Speaker
Listen carefully, this from Point Blank America on Instagram.
00:03:51
Speaker
Very simple.
00:03:53
Speaker
If you allow the government to break the law for an emergency, the government will create emergencies to break the law.
00:04:05
Speaker
And to that order, speaking of the Maui fires, Oprah.
00:04:09
Speaker
who has all but vanished from the public eye since her spiritual advisor was jailed for almost 400 years after raping and enslaving over 600 women, had her land in Maui go from 100 acres of land to over 1,000.
00:04:24
Speaker
I know, but she gave the audiences free cars.
00:04:27
Speaker
That's called a drop in the bucket.
00:04:28
Speaker
That's called long-term bribery.
00:04:30
Speaker
Spend decades building goodwill and giving handouts to the weak, making yourself seem like a great humanitarian.
00:04:37
Speaker
Make billions with TV and Weight Watchers, which, by the way, last time I checked, Oprah is still obese.
00:04:42
Speaker
And then quietly slip away with your money and take, take, take Evil 101.
00:04:48
Speaker
See also Bill Gates.
00:04:50
Speaker
The man is simply a mad scientist, plain and simple.
00:04:53
Speaker
Anyway, that Hawaiian city had a worth of $5.5 billion, and they're already talking about the elite buying it up and putting up apartments and resorts to the tune of tripling that in value.
00:05:04
Speaker
Think about the evil that exists, where the elite have so much money and power they can literally snuff out an entire city so they can take their land and lives, and they have the patience to wait it out.
Collapse of Empires and Mask Mandate Criticism
00:05:18
Speaker
Because you see, Trump's election in 2016 stalled their plans for world domination, so now all those corrupt people pulling the strings, listen carefully, are getting older and old.
00:05:31
Speaker
They want to be around to see the results of their tyranny.
00:05:34
Speaker
They want that desirable land.
00:05:36
Speaker
They want people enslaved.
00:05:38
Speaker
They want to live separately from the rest of us slobs.
00:05:41
Speaker
Very Hunger Gamesy, no?
00:05:43
Speaker
Or Demolition Man?
00:05:44
Speaker
Or Snowpiercer?
00:05:45
Speaker
Your pick.
00:05:47
Speaker
They want to enjoy this power before they're too enfeebled to process it.
00:05:51
Speaker
They're ensuring their great-great-great-grandchildren own your great-great-great-grandchildren.
00:05:56
Speaker
Trust me, if not now, not next week, next month, next year, next decade...
00:06:01
Speaker
It'll all come crashing down around them.
00:06:04
Speaker
There have been empires that thrived on the backs of the poor, but the difference is this time the poor that they're relying on are so stupid and too indoctrinated and too physically, mentally, and emotionally weak to support the wealthy elite who control them.
00:06:19
Speaker
And eventually, they'll collapse.
00:06:21
Speaker
And unlike history, the people who aren't falling for it...
00:06:25
Speaker
are heavily armed.
00:06:27
Speaker
They're smarter.
00:06:29
Speaker
They're ready.
00:06:30
Speaker
They have their eyes open and their ears open.
00:06:34
Speaker
And they are indeed learning from history.
00:06:37
Speaker
And of course now it's been a little over a week since Trump was arraigned and had his mugshot taken.
00:06:42
Speaker
And I'll just say this.
00:06:43
Speaker
Keep poking the bear, amateur nation.
00:06:45
Speaker
Fuck around and find out.
00:06:48
Speaker
Here's what's happening in amateur nation.
00:06:49
Speaker
Perhaps you had better start from the beginning.
00:06:51
Speaker
Step one.
00:06:53
Speaker
Topic number one.
00:06:54
Speaker
Topic number one.
00:06:56
Speaker
Oh, this just in.
00:06:58
Speaker
Science is back, and it's maskier than ever.
00:07:02
Speaker
You're not really going to fall for this mask crap again, are you, Amateur Nation?
00:07:06
Speaker
Of course you are.
00:07:09
Speaker
Amateurs rarely learn.
00:07:12
Speaker
Back to losing social skills, not meeting with friends, not going to church, putting on your mask to walk to your table, and then stupidly taking it off to eat.
00:07:20
Speaker
Back to not seeing smiles, being suspicious of everyone, and Amateur Nation's favorite, feeling powerful and virtuous by confronting those who aren't living in fear like you do.
00:07:29
Speaker
Amateur Nation will get more shots, get more adverse reactions, and then die.
00:07:33
Speaker
which is what they want, by the way.
00:07:35
Speaker
They being the very people you're defending, amateur nation, those people who strip away your freedom, your physical and mental health, your trust, your movement, and your very being.
00:07:45
Speaker
You don't see it because you want to go to Disneyland and you'll chip away at the moments of your life with a mask on and your kids will only know one world.
00:07:53
Speaker
You and your family will die early, but at least you died young doing what you were told.
00:07:57
Speaker
Shame on you.
00:07:59
Speaker
But since you amateurs love science all of a sudden in the last three years, maybe this will rattle your brain a bit.
00:08:04
Speaker
This article found in the cityjournal.org written by Jeffrey H. Anderson, president of the American Main Street Initiative, a think tank for everyday Americans.
00:08:14
Speaker
You know, everyday Americans.
00:08:15
Speaker
I know, not scientists.
00:08:17
Speaker
Can you imagine?
00:08:18
Speaker
But here's the thing.
00:08:20
Speaker
He served as director of the Bureau of Justice Statistics at the U.S. Department of Justice from 2017 to 2021.
00:08:26
Speaker
Now, this article was brought to my attention by alert pro Urzep, who follows me on Instagram.
00:08:32
Speaker
And there's a No Amateurs t-shirt coming your way.
00:08:34
Speaker
Listen to this.
00:08:35
Speaker
This is all facts.
00:08:37
Speaker
Here we go.
00:08:38
Speaker
Here's the article.
00:08:40
Speaker
The harm caused by masks.
00:08:41
Speaker
A new study suggests that the excess carbon dioxide breathed in by mask wearers can have major health consequences.
00:08:49
Speaker
Evidence continues to mount that mask mandates were perhaps the worst public health intervention in modern American history.
00:08:55
Speaker
A new study from Germany suggests that the excess carbon dioxide breathed in by mask wearers may have substantial ill effects on their health, and in the case of pregnant women, their unborn children's health.
00:09:07
Speaker
Mask wearers breathe in greater amounts of air that should have been expelled from their bodies and released out into the open, also known as common sense.
00:09:17
Speaker
A significant rise in carbon dioxide occurring while wearing a mask is scientifically proven in many studies, write the German authors.
00:09:24
Speaker
Fresh air has around 0.04% CO2, they observe, while chronic exposure at CO2 levels of 0.3% is toxic.
00:09:34
Speaker
How much CO2 do mask wearers breathe in?
00:09:38
Speaker
The authors write that masks bear a possible chronic exposure to low-level carbon dioxide of 1.41%.
00:09:46
Speaker
to 3.2% carbon dioxide of the inhaled air in reliable human experiments.
Public Health Policies and Government Role
00:09:54
Speaker
In other words, while eight times the normal level of carbon dioxide is toxic, research suggests that mask wearers, specifically those who wear masks for more than five minutes at a time, are breathing in 35 to 80 times normal levels of
00:10:13
Speaker
What can breathing too much carbon dioxide do to you?
00:10:16
Speaker
The authors write that at levels between 0.05 and 0.5% CO2, one might experience an increased heart rate, increased blood pressure, and overall increased circulation with the symptoms of headache, fatigue, difficulty concentrating, dizziness, rhinitis, and dry cough.
00:10:33
Speaker
Rates above 0.5% can lead to reduced cognitive performance, impaired decision-making, and reduced speed of cognitive solutions.
00:10:43
Speaker
Beyond 1%, the harmful effects include respiratory acidosis, metabolic stress, increased blood flow, and decreased exercise tolerance.
00:10:51
Speaker
Again, mask wearers are likely breathing in CO2 levels between 1.4% and 3.2%.
00:11:00
Speaker
well above any of these thresholds.
00:11:03
Speaker
What's more, here it comes, testes metabolism and cell respiration have been shown to be inhibited increasingly by rising levels of CO2.
00:11:11
Speaker
So, high blood pressure, reduced thinking ability, respiratory problems, and reproductive concerns are among the many possible results of effectively poisoning oneself by breathing in too much carbon dioxide.
00:11:25
Speaker
According to the authors, there exists circumstantial evidence that popular mask use may be related to current observations of a significant rise of 28% to 33% in stillbirths worldwide and a reduced verbal, motor, and overall cognitive performance of two full standard deviations in scores in children born during the pandemic.
00:11:52
Speaker
The article continues,
00:12:00
Speaker
Now, the study focused only on CO2, but the authors note that the other noxious agents in the mask contribute to toxicological long-term effects like the inhalation of synthetic microfibers, carcinogenic compounds, and volatile organic compounds.
00:12:15
Speaker
They add that the increased carbon dioxide content of the breathing air behind the mask may also lead to a displacement of oxygen.
00:12:21
Speaker
Masks are also uncomfortable and unhygienic, and they profoundly compromise human social interaction.
00:12:29
Speaker
By the way, everything that I listed so far, these are all the reasons why they want you to wear masks.
00:12:38
Speaker
Funny how Dr. Keebler-Elf, I am science Fauci, is silent about the Biden administration wanting masks brought back.
00:12:47
Speaker
He wants to slip off quietly, hoping we forgot about his crimes against humanity.
00:12:51
Speaker
Nothing to see here.
00:12:53
Speaker
Just signs telling you that masks are bad for you.
00:12:56
Speaker
I know.
00:12:56
Speaker
This is just one article.
00:12:58
Speaker
For you to be convinced, you need to at least see it on CNN and MSNBC.
00:13:03
Speaker
Then it's the truth.
00:13:04
Speaker
Right, wait, I got it.
00:13:06
Speaker
Clothing and bed linens made entirely out of masks.
00:13:10
Speaker
Think of the protection.
00:13:14
Speaker
You know, I was just commenting the other day how, and I don't want to oversimplify this, we should not ever have to really think about our government in the sense that it shouldn't be
Government Overreach and Inefficiency
00:13:25
Speaker
so intrusive.
00:13:25
Speaker
We should, again, should be able to trust that our government is getting the job done.
00:13:32
Speaker
Things like protecting our streets, making sure our utilities are running properly, keeping our roads paved, and making sure businesses are operating within the safety confines of common sense and laws.
00:13:42
Speaker
But instead,
00:13:44
Speaker
Now we have to micromanage our government because the second you turn your back on it, they will take everything you have and ruin it right before they take it.
00:13:52
Speaker
I thought maybe this was because I was getting older, but frankly, it has nothing to do with that.
00:13:56
Speaker
Our government has now been exposed.
00:13:58
Speaker
And yes, thanks to Donald Trump for being the fraudulent, charlatan, thieving, corrupt,
00:14:04
Speaker
pedophilic scumbags that most, not all, but most in politics are.
00:14:08
Speaker
We shouldn't have to spend a good chunk of our days worrying about how our government is going to screw us next or take our freedom or persecute us or control us.
00:14:21
Speaker
And now for step two.
00:14:22
Speaker
Topic number two.
00:14:25
Speaker
Speaking of the government sticking its corrupt, diseased nose in where it doesn't belong, I saw a headline from Newsmax.com that read, Parents deride school tag bans as regulatory overreach, which of course it is.
00:14:39
Speaker
Now the government wants to ban tag.
00:14:44
Speaker
Tag.
00:14:45
Speaker
The game Tag.
00:14:47
Speaker
When I first saw this, I thought, okay, this can't be real.
00:14:50
Speaker
I googled banning Tag.
00:14:52
Speaker
And lo and behold, dozens of articles going back to 2012, all citing safety issues when it comes to the game of Tag.
00:15:05
Speaker
Isn't it easy to enforce mandates disguised as laws when the government is just looking out for you because they care and you're stupid?
00:15:13
Speaker
Despite millions of kids throughout history playing tag, most with zero fatalities and injuries, but the government simply cannot allow you Americans to take that risk.
00:15:22
Speaker
The government knows what's best for you, you idiots.
00:15:25
Speaker
I won't waste time reading from the various articles, but rather the best one.
00:15:29
Speaker
I cannot tell you how much pleasure reading this article gave me.
00:15:32
Speaker
This could be the dumbest thing I've read on this show in a long time.
00:15:36
Speaker
Listen to these inane 12 valid reasons why tags should be banned from schools.
00:15:41
Speaker
Oh, he's serious.
00:15:45
Speaker
This was found from a website called gamesaver.com.
00:15:49
Speaker
G-A-M-E-S-V-E-R.com.
00:15:52
Speaker
Here we go.
00:15:53
Speaker
12 reasons.
00:15:54
Speaker
12 valid reasons, it said.
00:15:57
Speaker
Number one, the game lets kids pretend to be predators.
00:16:02
Speaker
Oh, like the names on the Epstein client list?
00:16:05
Speaker
Amen to that, brother!
00:16:06
Speaker
Woo!
00:16:07
Speaker
Number two, a potential for bodily harm.
00:16:11
Speaker
Oh, you mean like living your everyday life?
00:16:13
Speaker
You're gonna kill a whole lot of people, aren't you?
00:16:15
Speaker
Number three, harassment and bullying.
00:16:18
Speaker
Oh, you mean like in competition?
00:16:20
Speaker
Oh, your little feelings party didn't work out, huh?
00:16:22
Speaker
Who won the hugging contest?
00:16:23
Speaker
No, let me guess.
00:16:24
Speaker
Everyone tied for first.
00:16:26
Speaker
Number four, insufficient supervision.
00:16:29
Speaker
Oh, you mean that there's a chance that parents won't be watching their kids 24-7?
00:16:33
Speaker
Here's a sentence no kid has ever said.
00:16:35
Speaker
Dad, can you stop what you're doing and come watch us so we can play tag?
Banning Tag: Regulations and Satire
00:16:39
Speaker
Well, that sounds about as appetizing as a big plate of dirt or something.
00:16:46
Speaker
Number five, consent and boundaries.
00:16:50
Speaker
I must read you this.
00:16:52
Speaker
It said, kids should be able to pause the game or opt out as soon as they feel unsafe.
00:16:58
Speaker
This is what is known as being a pussy.
00:17:01
Speaker
It said, tagging involves touching.
00:17:05
Speaker
What happens to the kids who don't like getting touched?
00:17:09
Speaker
Wait, hang on, I know this.
00:17:12
Speaker
Is the answer then don't play tag, you idiot?
00:17:16
Speaker
It says, do all kids know the amount of force acceptable when tagging their colleagues?
00:17:23
Speaker
Hey, what's with that body cast?
00:17:24
Speaker
I'll never play tag again.
00:17:26
Speaker
I guess this is where a referee would come in.
00:17:29
Speaker
So what do you do for a living?
00:17:31
Speaker
I'm a tag referee.
00:17:35
Speaker
Number six, unnecessary interference from adults.
00:17:38
Speaker
It says schools have now come up with the rules banning running in tag, and now kids are walking to tag the runners, which makes it a different game altogether.
00:17:49
Speaker
Ooh, walking tag.
00:17:50
Speaker
I'm just picturing these idiot kids walking around with their arms outstretched like zombies.
00:17:55
Speaker
Must tag other kids.
00:17:58
Speaker
Am I the only one who realizes that this story isn't news?
00:18:02
Speaker
Others have included the...
00:18:05
Speaker
Two finger tagging rule where the tagger now only has permission to tag the runner with just two fingers.
00:18:14
Speaker
Who's tagging an opponent?
00:18:17
Speaker
Who's tagging an opponent with all 10 fingers?
00:18:20
Speaker
I felt three fingers disqualified.
00:18:24
Speaker
What if you used your pinky on your left and your middle finger on your right?
00:18:28
Speaker
Didn't say which two fingers, right?
00:18:30
Speaker
Oh my god.
00:18:31
Speaker
Number seven, discriminatory tendencies.
00:18:35
Speaker
Here's the article.
00:18:36
Speaker
It says, some kids can't run fast.
00:18:38
Speaker
This includes obese kids who would benefit more from these games.
00:18:43
Speaker
But obese kids are usually the first ones to be caught because they can't run far and they end up sitting out on all the fun.
00:18:49
Speaker
Hey fatty, you are fat.
00:18:53
Speaker
And thus another life lesson.
00:18:56
Speaker
The article continues, other kids who could feel left out are those with physical challenges like those who have to use walking aids, those with diseases such as asthma, among others.
00:19:12
Speaker
I'm just picturing these disease ridden gasping for air walking fat asses playing the world's slowest most boring game of tag.
00:19:21
Speaker
Oh my god.
00:19:22
Speaker
Number eight.
00:19:23
Speaker
A major cause of mental disorders.
00:19:26
Speaker
Yes, such as wanting to ban tag for insane reasons.
00:19:30
Speaker
Can someone kindly tell me what the fuck is going on?
00:19:33
Speaker
Number nine.
00:19:34
Speaker
By the way, again, if you just joined us, these are valid reasons why tags should be banned.
00:19:39
Speaker
Number nine.
00:19:40
Speaker
Potential for lawsuits.
00:19:42
Speaker
It says, and I quote, I'm laughing my ass off thinking about it.
00:19:45
Speaker
Maybe Darwin was right.
00:19:53
Speaker
Nature really does weed out the nimrods.
00:19:57
Speaker
It says, it says, there are real life stories of kids dying after stumbling and falling while playing.
00:20:03
Speaker
I would, I would actually pay money to read those stories.
00:20:07
Speaker
Okay, I gotta breathe.
00:20:09
Speaker
Number 10, stunted emotional intelligence in kids.
00:20:13
Speaker
It says kids will do anything to win, even kill.
00:20:18
Speaker
No, it doesn't say that.
00:20:22
Speaker
It says, they stop worrying about their classmates' feelings and safety and concentrate on being crowned the winner.
00:20:28
Speaker
Winning at all costs.
00:20:30
Speaker
You know, like the Biden administration.
00:20:32
Speaker
They must have played a shitload of tag as kids.
00:20:36
Speaker
Number 11.
00:20:37
Speaker
Limited play areas and equipment.
00:20:40
Speaker
What equipment?
00:20:41
Speaker
Hey, you got 100 square feet, at least two players with two working legs and at least one working arm each.
00:20:46
Speaker
Congratulations, you're set up for tag.
00:20:48
Speaker
What's funny about that?
00:20:50
Speaker
Everything.
00:20:52
Speaker
And number 12, conflict.
00:20:54
Speaker
It says, imagine arguing in the playground and translating the same feelings in class.
00:21:00
Speaker
Maybe a friend accidentally caused them to trip and fall, and then the kid would want to retaliate.
00:21:06
Speaker
Hey, what happened to Billy?
00:21:07
Speaker
He tagged another kid in the playground, and it was judgment day.
00:21:11
Speaker
It can't be bargained with.
00:21:13
Speaker
It can't be reasoned with.
00:21:15
Speaker
It doesn't feel pity or remorse or fear, and it absolutely will not stop ever until you are dead.
00:21:26
Speaker
The article says the second conflict would be many parents prefer to wrap their kids in a protective bubble and any issue to their children causes quarrels and lawsuit threats.
00:21:36
Speaker
Nice house, Bob.
00:21:38
Speaker
How'd you afford this?
00:21:39
Speaker
Oh, my amateur son broke his sternum and lost an eye playing unsupervised tag, and we sued the school district for $30 million.
00:21:46
Speaker
The article says, This makes teachers fearful and uncomfortable, which is an excellent reason to ban this game and other kinds of games.
00:21:54
Speaker
What?
00:21:55
Speaker
No mention of COVID?
00:21:57
Speaker
Racism?
00:21:58
Speaker
You're slipping, amateur nation.
00:22:00
Speaker
Man, when Amateur Nation wants you to not exercise and have social interaction, they really want you to not exercise and have social interaction.
Promotion and Engagement with Lou Santini
00:22:08
Speaker
They did forget about one woke benefit when someone says, you're it.
00:22:13
Speaker
It.
00:22:14
Speaker
As in they.
00:22:16
Speaker
Not he, not she.
00:22:17
Speaker
No labels.
00:22:18
Speaker
You can define it however you want.
00:22:21
Speaker
You'd think Amateur Nation would be thrilled.
00:22:27
Speaker
Oh, my God, that story gives me so much pleasure.
00:22:30
Speaker
I laughed all day when I discovered this story.

00:22:55
Speaker
A la carte and three pro things are on the way.
00:22:58
Speaker
And how can millennials not be happy?
00:23:01
Speaker
I have the answer on topic number three next.
00:23:04
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.
00:23:15
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.
00:23:26
Speaker
Text FLAG to 71777 or visit honorandremember.org to learn more.
00:23:29
Speaker
Together, we remember them all.
00:23:38
Speaker
Hi, Froze.
00:23:38
Speaker
Lou Santini here, host of Amateur Nation.
00:23:41
Speaker
My Dry Bar Comedy Special, Amateur Nation, is now available.
00:23:45
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.
00:23:57
Speaker
Go to drybarcomedy.com slash LouHanning.
00:24:01
Speaker
This is my way of saying thank you to the pros who listen to this show every week.
00:24:05
Speaker
Drybarcomedy.com slash Blue S. Amateur Nation is not just a podcast, it's a movement.
00:24:16
Speaker
Back to you, fuckers.
00:24:17
Speaker
All right, now step three.
00:24:20
Speaker
Topic number three.
00:24:21
Speaker
Hit me!
00:24:24
Speaker
All I hear from amateur millennials is how depressed, oppressed, anxiety-filled, triggered, and maligned they are.
00:24:32
Speaker
There's a lot of sick people out there.
00:24:33
Speaker
Instead of asking, why are millennials so depressed?
00:24:37
Speaker
Maybe we're not phrasing the question properly.
00:24:40
Speaker
Rather,
00:24:41
Speaker
How is it that amateur millennials are born into an era of the internet, AI, home delivery everything, home shopping, digital everything, instant access to information, entertainment, and news, and yet things are so hard for them?
00:24:59
Speaker
Everything has been handed to them.
00:25:04
Speaker
How do we, rather they, not see the connection between having everything handed to them and their anxiety, lack of fulfillment, depression, triggers, weakness, weak-mindedness, and their overall suckiness?
00:25:17
Speaker
You amateur millennials live in an era where you could just change your gender because you say so and people have to go along with it.
00:25:25
Speaker
You're so used to having everything instantly with no effort or sacrifice and worse, are brainwashed into thinking that work and sacrifice are bad things.
00:25:34
Speaker
No wonder you nincompoops think gender can be changed by adding a bra and tucking back your little dicks.
00:25:39
Speaker
Don't worry, I got enough.
00:25:42
Speaker
Sure, you could go the surgery route and hormone route and go all in and changing your gender.
00:25:47
Speaker
Pro Nation still ain't buying it despite your temper tantrums and your crying fits shot in the front seat of your Nissan Leaf shown on TikTok.
00:25:54
Speaker
After all the ease you're born into, with the world seemingly bending to your every whim, you still don't have happiness.
00:26:03
Speaker
And the worst part is, you don't even know what it would take to give you that happiness.
00:26:09
Speaker
What?
00:26:09
Speaker
End racism?
00:26:10
Speaker
Defunding police?
00:26:12
Speaker
No more guns?
00:26:13
Speaker
We all drive electric cars?
00:26:15
Speaker
Wind power?
00:26:16
Speaker
Give you free medical care?
00:26:18
Speaker
Eating bugs?
00:26:19
Speaker
making it okay to have sex with underage children, then you, the amateur millennial possibly listening right now, will finally find happiness.
00:26:27
Speaker
Oh, oh wait, free schooling.
00:26:29
Speaker
Why?
00:26:30
Speaker
So you can get a degree in Taylor Swift studies.
00:26:32
Speaker
And that's a real course offered at NYU's Clive Davis Institute.
00:26:36
Speaker
You have computers and instantly accessible knowledge and information literally in the palm of your hand and yet somehow all of your troubles are the fault of the generation before you that did not have instant access to any of the very information you do.
00:26:50
Speaker
Instead, you'd rather swipe right or left.
00:26:53
Speaker
Instead, you'd rather spend your hard-earned money on some thoughts-only fans.
00:26:57
Speaker
Instead, you'll watch a video of looters on TikTok.
00:27:00
Speaker
So again, millennials, go fuck yourselves.
00:27:03
Speaker
You get no sympathy from this host.
00:27:05
Speaker
You have everything that the generations before you never had.
00:27:09
Speaker
And the fact is, your shitty parents didn't prepare you on how to do life right.
00:27:14
Speaker
And you can't handle it because here it comes.
00:27:16
Speaker
You're weak because your parents, not the boomers, your parents who gave birth to you, who had you, who birthed you, scratch that, your mother, who is a woman, a real woman, gave birth to you and your probably absent father were both way too young, dumb, and ill-prepared to be parents because they spent their money in ecstasy at Burning Man are also weak.
00:27:38
Speaker
I took too much ecstasy in my 20s, so nothing makes me happy anymore.
00:27:42
Speaker
They failed you.
00:27:44
Speaker
Blame your parents, not the white man, not Donald Trump, not slavery, not the cops, not America, not society.
00:27:51
Speaker
Amateur millennials, your parents fucking suck.
00:27:54
Speaker
You know, it's that kind of permissive parenting that forfeited your country to the communists.
00:28:00
Speaker
I mean, I don't understand.
00:28:01
Speaker
You got your ears gauged, your hair is a pretty purple and or is in a man bun.
00:28:05
Speaker
You're not shaving your pits, you refuse physical fitness, you're not eating meat, you're not wearing a bra, your body is covered in tattoos that you can't afford.
00:28:12
Speaker
You're smoking weed freely, you're on a steady diet of anxiety meds, you're having your designer coffee at Starbucks while you search the web on your $2,000 Mac computer.
00:28:20
Speaker
How are you not happy?
00:28:22
Speaker
You got everything you wanted, right?
00:28:25
Speaker
Oh, that's right, for you to be happy, everyone else has to be like you.
00:28:29
Speaker
You know, an individual who wants to be treated like everyone else.
00:28:32
Speaker
Special.
00:28:32
Speaker
Wow, you are just a bundle of rage.
00:28:34
Speaker
Fuckin' A. And by the way, amateur millennials, a lot of people's parents, and I do mean in an incalculable number,
00:28:41
Speaker
throughout history have also sucked.
00:28:44
Speaker
And somehow, an equally incalculable number of the offspring of those sucky parents managed to stir up their inner resolve, put on their big boy pants, grow a dick, man up, step up, dig deep, and find the strength and wherewithal to not be like their shitty parents.
00:28:59
Speaker
That could be you.
00:29:01
Speaker
Nah, feelings are more dramatic.
00:29:03
Speaker
Crying in the front seat of your car gets more TikTok followers and likes.
00:29:06
Speaker
One last thing, amateur millennials.
00:29:08
Speaker
Only a true friend tells you the stuff you don't want to hear.
00:29:11
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.
Satirical Commentary on Social Issues
00:29:25
Speaker
I love doing this show, but sometimes I love doing it more than other times, and I love this show today.
00:29:30
Speaker
All right, let's take some nibbles off the a la carte menu.
00:29:34
Speaker
I wonder if the descendants of the slaves who built the pyramids will be asking Egypt for reparations.
00:29:41
Speaker
Really want to help the environment?
00:29:43
Speaker
Shut down China.
00:29:45
Speaker
All of it.
00:29:46
Speaker
It's only fair since they do produce one third of the world's pollution of every kind.
00:29:53
Speaker
Now this looks like hypocrisy, so amateurs just take a knee.
00:29:57
Speaker
But we need a little democracy, because it feels just like the CCP.
00:30:03
Speaker
I saw a commercial for KFC for their new chicken nuggets.
00:30:07
Speaker
Are we all still supposed to be impressed by the chicken nugget?
00:30:11
Speaker
Wait, hang on!
00:30:12
Speaker
Chicken is now available in nugget form?
00:30:14
Speaker
Oh, and I thought it was called Who Cares Ness?
00:30:19
Speaker
With absolute respect to the Maui victims, only a Democrat administration could fail at extinguishing a fire on a site surrounded by water.
00:30:27
Speaker
A fire that they caused.
00:30:31
Speaker
And by the way, where are the I stand with Hawaii proclamations and Hawaiian flags?
00:30:36
Speaker
Yeah, save your support for corrupt communist BLM that literally did nothing for anyone and literally destroyed America and Ukraine, who laughs at us as we rot from the inside out.
00:30:46
Speaker
Why are you Satan?
00:30:48
Speaker
Still won't admit that technology has ruined attention spans and made people less patient?
00:30:53
Speaker
Before streaming and even before VCRs, there was a time when people used to plan their lives around a TV show.
00:30:59
Speaker
When it aired.
00:31:01
Speaker
Live.
00:31:01
Speaker
Because you didn't want to be out of the loop and wait for the reruns.
00:31:04
Speaker
Now it's... Skip intro!
00:31:06
Speaker
Next episode!
00:31:06
Speaker
Next episode!
00:31:07
Speaker
Next episode!
00:31:10
Speaker
Still don't think that the government wants to control you and track you with electric cars?
00:31:14
Speaker
Still saying, it's so nice not to have to pay so much for gas, you simple stupid amateurs.
00:31:20
Speaker
No way you get off that easy.
00:31:21
Speaker
Not only do you have a car that is volatile should the battery catch fire, and have a vehicle that requires a major expense to replace said battery mined by child slaves in China,
00:31:30
Speaker
and it won't pay you back in fuel costs for decades, but now, if you live in Oregon and Utah, your beloved government that you voted for announced mandated GPS trackers in electric vehicles to tax drivers per mile driven.
00:31:49
Speaker
I think it's safe to say most women aren't fond of their periods, so only an amateur man who pretends to be a woman would insist that he gets a period.
00:31:56
Speaker
Sometimes I wonder if I have ovaries in my scrotum.
00:32:00
Speaker
Oh, there still are things in this world that are done right.
00:32:03
Speaker
I manage to scrounge up three of them every week.
00:32:05
Speaker
This is 3 Pro Things, and here's number one.
00:32:10
Speaker
How'd that defunding of the police go in Seattle, amateurs?
00:32:13
Speaker
Living in a utopia?
00:32:14
Speaker
Everyone on the honor system?
00:32:16
Speaker
Lots of peace and harmony?
00:32:18
Speaker
I'll let this resignation letter from a Seattle cop with 23 years on the force paint the picture.
00:32:23
Speaker
This is from the Daily Wire, but it's found everywhere.
00:32:26
Speaker
Seattle Police Lieutenant Jessica Taylor, who retired on August 1st after more than two decades on the force, refused to complete the standard exit interview form and instead penned a blistering 15-page letter to the police chief.
00:32:40
Speaker
15 pages.
00:32:42
Speaker
Here are some of the highlights.
00:32:44
Speaker
Chief Diaz, let me tell you, the state of the Seattle Police Department and this city is a disgrace.
00:32:49
Speaker
The toxic mix of the Seattle City Council's absurdity, the spinelessness of the mayor, the leniency of the prosecutor's office, and your failed leadership has accelerated the city's downhill slide straight to rock bottom.
00:33:00
Speaker
The problems were already brewing before you came on the scene, but since your arrival, it's been a free fall into anarchy and chaos.
00:33:08
Speaker
If you haven't noticed, the criminals are running
Identity Politics and Masculinity Critique
00:33:10
Speaker
this city.
00:33:10
Speaker
Aren't you embarrassed?
00:33:12
Speaker
I am.
00:33:13
Speaker
It's mortifying.
00:33:14
Speaker
The city that once prided itself on progressiveness and prosperity has now become a hotbed for crime and anarchy.
00:33:21
Speaker
Taylor accused Adrian Diaz, the police chief, of having an insatiable appetite for control that blinds him to the sacrifices of officers facing danger on the street.
00:33:31
Speaker
She also accused the police chief of badging his way to the front of a Taylor Swift concert.
00:33:39
Speaker
where people paid thousands to be there.
00:33:40
Speaker
In other words, he's flashing his badge, just walking right up to the front.
00:33:43
Speaker
Everyone else is paying, stupidly, paying thousands of dollars to see commie Taylor Swift.
00:33:48
Speaker
And he just like, excuse me, coming through, coming through.
00:33:51
Speaker
Police chief, a grown man.
00:33:54
Speaker
I want to be up front for Taylor Swift.
00:33:56
Speaker
Meanwhile, the Seattle City Council has, quote, lost touch with reality and is making decisions that defy common sense and basic logic, Taylor wrote.
00:34:04
Speaker
Their priority is playing politics and pandering to radical ideologies rather than genuinely serving the city's and its residents' best interests.
00:34:12
Speaker
So as I walk away from the Seattle Police Department, I do so with my head held high, knowing that I stood up for what's right and refused to be silenced.
00:34:21
Speaker
My conscience is clear and I have no regrets about speaking out against the failed leadership that has brought this department and this city to its knees.
00:34:31
Speaker
Number two.
00:34:34
Speaker
So Amateur Nation still is griping about toxic masculinity.
00:34:37
Speaker
Robert Downey Jr., are you listening?
00:34:39
Speaker
Still want the world to be run by women?
00:34:41
Speaker
Because men start wars.
00:34:43
Speaker
Try this on for size.
00:34:44
Speaker
Saw this post from at Surya underscore Claudis.
00:34:50
Speaker
43% of boys are raised by single mothers.
00:34:54
Speaker
78% of teachers are female.
00:34:57
Speaker
So close to 50% of boys have 100% feminine influence at home and 80% feminine influence at school.
00:35:07
Speaker
Toxic masculinity isn't the problem.
00:35:10
Speaker
The lack of masculinity is.
Historical Etiquette and Closing Remarks
00:35:15
Speaker
And number three.
00:35:18
Speaker
Do you know who the first pro in pro-nation in America was?
00:35:23
Speaker
I want to take a guess.
00:35:25
Speaker
I refer you to my book, Amateur Nation, The Decline of Common Sense, Manners, and Social Skills, available on Amazon.
00:35:32
Speaker
You can download it right now.
00:35:34
Speaker
And if I may read a brief excerpt from the chapter, Amateur Habitats and History.
00:35:39
Speaker
And by the way, what I'm about to read to you is indeed fact.
00:35:43
Speaker
Here we go.
00:35:45
Speaker
Although amateurs consistently act like they are at home, amateurs are found everywhere.
00:35:50
Speaker
Don't think for two seconds that there's not some adult holding up the only other all-terrain vehicle at the North Pole because she's taking a selfie.
00:35:56
Speaker
Hashtag so cold and hashtag pole life.
00:36:00
Speaker
In some primitive Amazon jungle tribe, just like some idiot talking too loudly on his cell for the whole world to hear, right now, some jungle tribesman is communicating via smoke signal with way more clouds than necessary, stinking up the whole damned village.
00:36:15
Speaker
And at this moment, during a climb to the top of Mount Everest, one of the climbers will reach the summit and say, this is amazing.
00:36:22
Speaker
And then come down the mountain, get on a plane to fly home, and when the flight attendant gives him extra peanuts, he'll say, oh my God, you're amazing, with the same level of enthusiasm.
00:36:32
Speaker
In the 1970s, the term me decade described a general new attitude of Americans pointing to individualism and away from communitarianism, in contrast with social values prevalent in the United States during the 1960s.
00:36:46
Speaker
The 1980s saw the formation of Generation X,
00:36:52
Speaker
The me first decade.
00:36:54
Speaker
The greed decade.
00:36:56
Speaker
Frankly, from the year 2003, right around when MySpace started.
00:37:00
Speaker
By the way, don't you love that name?
00:37:01
Speaker
This is MySpace.
00:37:03
Speaker
Now everyone look at it and come in.
00:37:05
Speaker
But it's mine.
00:37:08
Speaker
In this author's humble opinion, at the time of this writing, we're going on 16 plus years of amateur nation.
00:37:17
Speaker
Amateur-itis doesn't discriminate.
00:37:19
Speaker
It affects all cultures, ages, generations, shapes, sizes, sexes, sexual preferences, political affiliations, religions, and even eras.
00:37:29
Speaker
Case in point.
00:37:31
Speaker
The father of our country, President George Washington, wrote a short handbook called Rules of Civility and Decent Behavior in Company and Conversation.
00:37:42
Speaker
And he wrote it when he was 14 years.
00:37:47
Speaker
In the foreword of his book, it mentions how diligence in social matters was common to practice in decent society the world over during his lifetime.
00:37:55
Speaker
Even he noticed a decline in pro-behavior back then.
00:37:59
Speaker
He recorded 110 rules that were, quote, intended to polish manners, impress the obligation of moral virtues, teach how to treat others in social relations, and above all, instill the practice of a perfect self-control.
00:38:14
Speaker
Or in layman's terms, he wrote a guidebook to instruct others to mind your P's and Q's, leave your drama at home, treat others how you would want to be treated, and think before you open your yap when in public.
00:38:24
Speaker
While admittedly many of the rules in his book are extreme, somewhat humorous, and even a bit strict or do not apply in today's society, many do hold true today, most notably his very first rule.
00:38:36
Speaker
Rule 1.
00:38:37
Speaker
Every action done in company ought to be with some sign of respect to those that are present.
00:38:43
Speaker
That's just common sense, right?
00:38:45
Speaker
And here's a 14-year-old kid who understood that.
00:38:48
Speaker
Before you say or do something in public, be respectful to everyone present.
00:38:52
Speaker
That rule is just as valid today as it was then, and it's needed even more so today due to our exponentially increased overpopulation.
00:38:59
Speaker
If you take one thing away from this book, simply remembering you're in public, don't be a pain in the ass, you're on your way to going pro.
00:39:07
Speaker
Rule 67, detract not from others, neither be excessive in commanding.
00:39:15
Speaker
In this book, you'll read stories and exchanges by amateurs who do exactly that.
00:39:20
Speaker
Amateurs tend to be demanding attention whores, barking orders, making scenes, full of expectations and the need for instant gratification.
00:39:28
Speaker
It's a sign of insecurity and inadequacy.
00:39:31
Speaker
They know they suck, so they have to overcompensate with everything they say and do.
00:39:35
Speaker
Speech, apparel, mannerisms, how they sit, walk, talk, and behave.
00:39:39
Speaker
Many times acting out, yelling, and having a temper tantrum akin to a child.
00:39:45
Speaker
Rule 73.
00:39:46
Speaker
Think before you speak.
00:39:48
Speaker
Pronounce not imperfectly, nor bring out your words too hastily, but orderly and distinctly.
00:39:55
Speaker
If amateurs thought before they spoke and spoke correctly, smartly and distinctly, they wouldn't be amateurs.
00:40:00
Speaker
You'll see plenty of evidence of this kind of behavior in my book as well.
00:40:05
Speaker
And finally, George Washington brings it home and bookends rule number one with rule number 110.
00:40:12
Speaker
Labor to keep alive in your breast that little celestial fire called conscience.
00:40:19
Speaker
He's saying it takes some effort to behave consciously with a sense of decorum like a pro.
00:40:25
Speaker
but I also like how he refers to it as a little celestial fire.
00:40:29
Speaker
It's a little thing, Manners, but its impact is like that of a celestial fire.
00:40:34
Speaker
How often have you seen someone light up who might have a not-so-glamorous job when they hear please and thank you?
00:40:40
Speaker
It really does make a difference in someone's day and maybe their life.
00:40:44
Speaker
George Washington was clearly a pro and wrote that book around 1746.
00:40:48
