WEBVTT 1 00:00:01.720 --> 00:00:04.799 Hey, everybody A J. Benzi here with fame is a bitch. This 2 00:00:04.960 --> 00:00:10.480 is your free show. It is Monday, May twenty second, twenty three. 3 00:00:10.800 --> 00:00:16.120 Wow five two two two two three. We've got one more weekend left 4 00:00:16.280 --> 00:00:23.760 in May before it's this guy's birthday. And I am a double XL down 5 00:00:23.839 --> 00:00:31.440 below. Only kidding, but really not no no gifts necessary because some of 6 00:00:31.440 --> 00:00:35.600 you have gotten very angry at me about changing this for free shows from five 7 00:00:35.679 --> 00:00:39.920 days a week to one day a week, and I should say three freeze 8 00:00:39.920 --> 00:00:45.320 a week and two classics, and I've gotten some harsh criticism. Luckily my 9 00:00:45.399 --> 00:00:49.280 Fame Faan jumped on my side and protected me. But boy, you really 10 00:00:49.320 --> 00:00:53.079 find out a lot about yourself. It's funny. I think some people forget 11 00:00:53.200 --> 00:00:58.399 or either don't care that when they tend to bedmouth me, which is one 12 00:00:58.479 --> 00:01:00.320 hundred percent you're right to do, and I would never take it away from 13 00:01:00.359 --> 00:01:03.799 you. Some of your bad mouth for me on my own page, which 14 00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:07.719 is funny. It's like going to somebody's front porch and screaming through this screen 15 00:01:07.760 --> 00:01:14.879 window how much they hate you, or what a bad businessman you are, 16 00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:19.120 or my favorite one the other day was somebody called me a J was much 17 00:01:19.159 --> 00:01:23.359 better in the beginning. Now he's too cocky, and I thought, yeah, 18 00:01:23.359 --> 00:01:27.359 I guess I've been cocky. Yeah, I guess. I mean I 19 00:01:27.400 --> 00:01:32.120 was especially cocky when I was an ICU dying of COVID for eight days. 20 00:01:32.159 --> 00:01:34.519 That was a cocky time in my life. I really thought, like, 21 00:01:34.599 --> 00:01:37.480 who the hell I thought I was? And then of course living in my 22 00:01:37.519 --> 00:01:42.280 sister's basement in Chicago, and you couldn't tell me nothing. I was so 23 00:01:42.319 --> 00:01:46.400 cocky back then, the separation and divorce and all the bad news and the 24 00:01:46.439 --> 00:01:49.200 crying, and then all the situations that occurs around that sort of thing. 25 00:01:49.599 --> 00:01:55.760 I was acting very cocky. But I think when my nephew died that's when 26 00:01:55.760 --> 00:01:57.840 I was at my most cocky. That's when I thought, like, my 27 00:01:57.920 --> 00:02:02.280 shit don't stink. And you know, I guess that person has a point. 28 00:02:02.319 --> 00:02:07.639 I do become cocky during a certain periods of my career. I'm not 29 00:02:07.759 --> 00:02:14.039 cocky. You know what cockiness is. Cockiness is confidence. It means that 30 00:02:14.120 --> 00:02:16.680 I've been in this position before and I know how to get out of it. 31 00:02:17.800 --> 00:02:20.560 And if you can prove that you can get out of it, it 32 00:02:20.599 --> 00:02:24.080 ain't cocky. It's confidence. And for God's sakes, I was cocky my 33 00:02:24.159 --> 00:02:30.000 whole life, but I'd certainly say the last five years or so has been 34 00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:36.120 a very humbling experience. I'd be the first to tell you. And I 35 00:02:36.120 --> 00:02:38.919 think anybody who really knows me, not just people who tune in to the 36 00:02:38.960 --> 00:02:45.080 free show here and there, But you guys don't know me. The patron 37 00:02:45.199 --> 00:02:50.639 audience really knows me because we're very personal and they hear things. And they 38 00:02:50.680 --> 00:02:53.719 heard some really great things about a patron of ours who passed away, a 39 00:02:53.879 --> 00:03:01.919 terrific man, French paratrooper, Special Forces soldier, NBA photographer, professional rodeo 40 00:03:02.000 --> 00:03:07.400 photographer. I mean this last week. It was some sort of rodeo championships 41 00:03:07.400 --> 00:03:10.840 and they put his picture up and they talked about him on air. He 42 00:03:10.879 --> 00:03:14.680 was quite a special guy, and he passed away in his sleep at fifty 43 00:03:14.719 --> 00:03:16.599 one years old the other day, and I was very moved and shaken by 44 00:03:16.639 --> 00:03:23.479 it. And everybody on the patron page, you know, responded in kind 45 00:03:23.520 --> 00:03:28.439 because they know his name and they've been around his name. And the great 46 00:03:28.520 --> 00:03:31.599 Chris Elise is no longer with us. And if you knew about him or 47 00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:37.840 cary to check his Instagram page. You can see what kind of a cool 48 00:03:37.919 --> 00:03:42.080 guy. He was just one of the coolest men I've ever met. His 49 00:03:42.120 --> 00:03:46.280 instagram is frow your mind. F r O y L you are m I 50 00:03:46.439 --> 00:03:51.360 n D frow your mind. That's because as a black man, he'd liked 51 00:03:51.360 --> 00:03:55.680 to wear his afrow nice and big. But he was a pisser and now 52 00:03:55.719 --> 00:04:01.520 he's gone. So with all these people drop like flies. My philosophy of 53 00:04:01.599 --> 00:04:06.599 late has been everybody take it easy. Take it easy, because you don't 54 00:04:06.639 --> 00:04:11.800 know when the last time you're gonna speak to somebody is. That's how frequently 55 00:04:11.919 --> 00:04:15.279 these deaths are occurring. And Chris's death right now, we don't know what 56 00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:17.759 the causes. He was found dead in his sleep. We don't know. 57 00:04:18.240 --> 00:04:21.600 We don't know. Yes, he had the vaccination, so did I, 58 00:04:21.800 --> 00:04:25.800 so did many of us. And I don't know about you, but it's 59 00:04:25.800 --> 00:04:32.399 definitely put me on edge ever since that day. So anyhow, moving on 60 00:04:32.480 --> 00:04:34.600 from that, I just want to tell you here I am at this hotel. 61 00:04:34.680 --> 00:04:39.079 I don't know. There was an off road race this weekend past weekend 62 00:04:39.160 --> 00:04:44.240 called state Line and it was taking place a few miles outside of the desert 63 00:04:44.279 --> 00:04:47.399 here in Nevada, and I'm in three well, I'm in one of the 64 00:04:47.480 --> 00:04:51.079 three hotels that are all bunched together, Buffalo Bills, Whiskey Peats, and 65 00:04:51.240 --> 00:04:57.639 Prim Valley. Those are the first three casinos that you see once you passed 66 00:04:57.680 --> 00:05:01.839 the California state line into Nevada, and they was stuffed to the gills with 67 00:05:01.959 --> 00:05:06.920 people who came here to drink and dream and drive. And by people, 68 00:05:06.959 --> 00:05:13.680 I mainly mean Mexicans because Friday night and Saturday, well, Friday night first 69 00:05:13.720 --> 00:05:16.199 of all, Friday night, the girlfriend and I we're in the hotel room 70 00:05:16.240 --> 00:05:21.600 and a great big desert thunderstorm started, and I love those, and it 71 00:05:21.639 --> 00:05:29.000 was pissing rain, like straight down with droplets as big as marbles, biblical, 72 00:05:30.040 --> 00:05:34.360 and like we always do, we raced outside to watch it. We 73 00:05:34.399 --> 00:05:38.879 went on top of this awning or this bridge, so to speak, to 74 00:05:38.920 --> 00:05:42.000 look, but then we wanted to get closer and get in it, actually 75 00:05:42.000 --> 00:05:45.480 get in the rain, because how many times do you run through the rain, 76 00:05:46.240 --> 00:05:48.560 You know, not many once you're an adult, unless you get caught 77 00:05:48.560 --> 00:05:50.959 in it. But we went out and wanted to get caught in it. 78 00:05:51.639 --> 00:05:56.920 And then we raced outside and watched it and took in the smell of rain 79 00:05:57.079 --> 00:06:00.120 on dry ground. You know that smell of rain, certain smells of our 80 00:06:00.199 --> 00:06:06.759 childhood that don't go away, the smell of freshly cut grass, a baseball 81 00:06:06.879 --> 00:06:13.319 mit with the leather that's been oiled up, maybe even the smell under the 82 00:06:13.319 --> 00:06:18.399 hood of your brothers nineteen sixty eighth Chavell. But rain on the ground, 83 00:06:18.560 --> 00:06:23.040 rain on asphalt, rain on the street, the concrete, it has a 84 00:06:23.160 --> 00:06:26.519 smell of its own. And you know what, there's actually a word for 85 00:06:26.560 --> 00:06:30.720 that. I was today years old when I found out the term is called 86 00:06:30.839 --> 00:06:39.120 petro. Petro is. The smell of rain comes from the Greek comes from 87 00:06:39.120 --> 00:06:46.120 the Greek word petra, meaning stone and ichor, which in Greek mythology refers 88 00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:50.879 to the golden fluid that flows in the veins of the immortals. That's pretty 89 00:06:50.920 --> 00:06:57.920 damn cool. Those Greeks had a way with words and obviously storytelling stories we 90 00:06:57.959 --> 00:07:01.759 still tell to this day. So we get out there and there's all these 91 00:07:01.800 --> 00:07:06.360 off rowed vehicles, man, and they're blast in Mexican music, and you 92 00:07:06.399 --> 00:07:15.079 know what, the trumpets and then another cause got somebody singing, just a 93 00:07:15.279 --> 00:07:21.560 culture explosion, Hispanic Hispanic culture explosion in the parking lot. And I took 94 00:07:21.600 --> 00:07:26.079 pictures, you know. They they some of these cars had these glow in 95 00:07:26.079 --> 00:07:30.240 the dark antennas and all sorts of flair hanging off their cars. And I 96 00:07:30.319 --> 00:07:35.680 took pictures because so many of these Mexican dudes had Mexican flags and and American 97 00:07:35.720 --> 00:07:40.920 flags on them, which I loved, and a lot of them had pow 98 00:07:41.079 --> 00:07:45.519 m a flags on them. Was the last time you saw a pow m 99 00:07:45.680 --> 00:07:49.879 a flag or sticker? It's been a while for you younger folks. That 100 00:07:50.079 --> 00:07:57.000 term goes back to the Vietnam War, and pow meant prisoner of war and 101 00:07:57.319 --> 00:08:03.399 m IA meant missing in action for those yet not yet found. It was 102 00:08:03.439 --> 00:08:07.800 a big thing when I was growing up in the seventies early seventies, and 103 00:08:07.959 --> 00:08:11.000 as bad as things were back in the seventies, it seemed the one thing 104 00:08:11.240 --> 00:08:16.000 we could agree on was that our hearts eight for those soldiers who were being 105 00:08:16.040 --> 00:08:22.759 held prisoner over there and maybe worse, missing in action. In fact, 106 00:08:22.759 --> 00:08:28.279 do you guys remember wearing those id bracelets during the early seventies, the pow 107 00:08:28.399 --> 00:08:35.159 mia bracelets. They even had a soldier's name attached to them. They were 108 00:08:35.240 --> 00:08:39.840 something else. They came out in the late sixties and that the whole thing 109 00:08:39.840 --> 00:08:45.320 about the bracelets was to increase public awareness about, you know, what these 110 00:08:45.320 --> 00:08:50.159 Americans are going through, what still being prisoners or missing or unaccounted for from 111 00:08:50.159 --> 00:08:54.960 the Vietnam War. And back in elementary school, maybe nineteen seventy, we 112 00:08:54.960 --> 00:08:58.399 had a kid in our school who was the only black kid in the entire 113 00:08:58.440 --> 00:09:01.360 school the trick and he was part black. His name was Richie Miller, 114 00:09:03.360 --> 00:09:07.600 and there was an article in the local paper about how his older brother was 115 00:09:07.679 --> 00:09:13.120 missing in Vietnam, and we all wore those bracelets for Richie's brother, and 116 00:09:13.240 --> 00:09:18.000 the town even dedicated a huge stone for him and set it down in the 117 00:09:18.000 --> 00:09:22.200 corner of a very public or popular intersection of Monta Highway in Higbee Lane on 118 00:09:22.240 --> 00:09:26.759 the way to the high school. And a year later we found out he 119 00:09:26.799 --> 00:09:30.759 was killed. And then Richie and his family moved out of town, out 120 00:09:30.799 --> 00:09:35.399 of state. But the big stone still sits there at that same intersection, 121 00:09:35.120 --> 00:09:41.799 a small town, USA even today, still there. But it felt good, 122 00:09:41.480 --> 00:09:46.440 It really felt good to see the patriotism displayed in that parking lot in 123 00:09:46.480 --> 00:09:50.240 the pouring rain. Nobody cared we were getting soaked, Not even Tutsi, 124 00:09:52.559 --> 00:09:56.600 the girlfriend had sandals on. I was barefoot, but there was something special 125 00:09:56.600 --> 00:10:03.879 about being among all those people, all that humanity, listening to blaring Mexican 126 00:10:03.960 --> 00:10:07.679 music and watching men and women hand out beers from the back of their cars. 127 00:10:07.960 --> 00:10:11.080 You want to be a man, You want to be here. I 128 00:10:11.120 --> 00:10:13.600 don't know. One guy gave me a taco. You have a taco, 129 00:10:13.679 --> 00:10:18.240 man, You like tacos, short let tacos, big, nice, beautiful 130 00:10:18.320 --> 00:10:20.000 tortilla, then a big piece of meat on top of that, and some 131 00:10:20.120 --> 00:10:26.120 really hot sauce. Was delicious. It was beautiful. It's the way America 132 00:10:26.159 --> 00:10:30.600 is supposed to be, and I think America is that way in a lot 133 00:10:30.639 --> 00:10:35.840 of pockets that don't get talked about. But it's nice to see that you 134 00:10:35.879 --> 00:10:41.639 can still find that humanity and pride and love of country, even despite you 135 00:10:41.679 --> 00:10:43.679 know, the skeletons we have, or the skeleton we have in the White 136 00:10:43.679 --> 00:10:50.799 House, and who always warns us against white supremacy is the worst threat America 137 00:10:50.879 --> 00:10:56.039 faces. Come on, Jack, it's no joke that Jerkov should have been 138 00:10:56.039 --> 00:11:00.799 in jean Nevada the other night. He would have seen white people, black 139 00:11:00.840 --> 00:11:07.480 people, and enthusiastic Hispanic people all together bonding over beers and brotherhood. Nobody 140 00:11:07.480 --> 00:11:11.600 wore a white hood, nobody had a fist fight, nobody pulled a knife. 141 00:11:13.480 --> 00:11:18.279 It was one culture celebrating their culture. But they made sure that the 142 00:11:18.320 --> 00:11:22.480 American flag was next to the Mexican flag. I love people like that. 143 00:11:22.720 --> 00:11:26.120 You come here as much as you want, Just don't come to our border 144 00:11:26.320 --> 00:11:30.320 waving your flag like you're leaving someplace special. If it's a fucking special, 145 00:11:30.360 --> 00:11:33.200 stay there. You want to come to America, find an American flag and 146 00:11:33.279 --> 00:11:35.720 bring it across the desk. Don't bring a next flag, the flag of 147 00:11:35.759 --> 00:11:39.559 Ecuador on doors. No, no, no, no, no, don't 148 00:11:39.600 --> 00:11:41.279 bring it with you, as if to say, well, I'm bringing it 149 00:11:41.320 --> 00:11:43.480 on, I'm bringing my cult. No, you know you're not. You're 150 00:11:43.480 --> 00:11:48.200 got to come here and assimilate. Yes, you can assimilate with your culture. 151 00:11:48.240 --> 00:11:50.600 Of course we've all done that. Many of us had relatives who did 152 00:11:50.639 --> 00:11:54.720 it legally, and now some of you are doing it illegally. Millions are 153 00:11:54.720 --> 00:11:58.600 doing it illegally. So don't bring the flag of your nation. Little tip 154 00:12:01.120 --> 00:12:03.720 to Christ's say you're getting brand new sneaks in brand new clothes to walk those 155 00:12:03.759 --> 00:12:07.320 two thousand miles in the desert somebody must be able to handle hand you a 156 00:12:07.440 --> 00:12:13.879 fucking American flag. Ridiculous. Anyhow, I just wanted to give you a 157 00:12:13.919 --> 00:12:20.519 glimpse of what it's sometimes like out here. It can be lonely, especially 158 00:12:20.519 --> 00:12:24.519 when I don't have the girlfriend to share the bed, but it can also 159 00:12:24.639 --> 00:12:28.399 be very lovely and enlightening, and give you an insight into an America the 160 00:12:28.519 --> 00:12:35.200 media pretends doesn't exist and doesn't want you to even think it exists. I 161 00:12:35.240 --> 00:12:41.759 mean, everywhere you look, everything you read, every talking head will fill 162 00:12:41.799 --> 00:12:45.679 you with gloom and doom, night after night after night. I don't know 163 00:12:46.679 --> 00:12:50.399 how they do it. I would lose my mind. You have to give 164 00:12:50.440 --> 00:12:56.519 people hope, and the media has the microphone and the platform to do so, 165 00:12:56.960 --> 00:13:01.279 but they'd rather keep you in fear. That's not to say it's safe 166 00:13:01.440 --> 00:13:05.159 everywhere in America. We know that's not true. It's also not to say 167 00:13:05.200 --> 00:13:09.399 that every governor or mayor in most major cities knows what the hell they're doing. 168 00:13:11.759 --> 00:13:16.440 Case in point, New York City's mayor Eric Adams is a guy who 169 00:13:16.519 --> 00:13:20.600 has about one hundred and fifty suits and goes out every single night. The 170 00:13:20.679 --> 00:13:24.799 old joke is that guy would go to the opening of an envelope. No 171 00:13:24.919 --> 00:13:33.600 mayor in my recent memory had seventy five different suits. Unbelievable. So Eric 172 00:13:33.639 --> 00:13:37.240 Adams is desperately trying to lower crime in New York City, which has become 173 00:13:37.279 --> 00:13:43.360 a dystopian nightmare. The Roosevelt Hotel, which is such a famous place. 174 00:13:43.480 --> 00:13:48.519 Marilyn Monroe used to live there. So many movies were shot there. Wall 175 00:13:48.600 --> 00:13:52.600 Street, I believe that departed a million. Hundreds of movies were shot there. 176 00:13:52.639 --> 00:13:56.840 It's an iconic building. Well, now it's being filled with migrants. 177 00:13:56.440 --> 00:14:03.919 Only migrants. We've got migrants being put in high school gymnasiums. Yeah, 178 00:14:05.080 --> 00:14:09.200 your kid goes to school, his gym isn't his gym anymore. Now it's 179 00:14:09.240 --> 00:14:13.120 from migrants from Somalia and Ghana and Ecuador, in Brazil and god knows wherever 180 00:14:13.159 --> 00:14:20.480 the hell else. So Eric Adams is doing whatever he can to lower the 181 00:14:20.559 --> 00:14:24.399 crime, to cut down on shoplifting. Here's his big brainstorm me. You're 182 00:14:24.399 --> 00:14:30.039 ready, because New York City is rife with crime. Okay, Over the 183 00:14:30.120 --> 00:14:33.720 last two years, burglaries have increased by twenty five percent, Grand Larsity has 184 00:14:33.759 --> 00:14:39.600 increased by fifty one percent, and Grand Larsity Old All is sword by eighty 185 00:14:39.600 --> 00:14:43.200 four percent. Basically, it means if you drive into the city you either 186 00:14:43.240 --> 00:14:48.519 get mugged, pushed in front of the subway area cause getting stolen. Something 187 00:14:48.600 --> 00:14:54.879 bad's gonna happen. And worse than that. Last year alone, three hundred 188 00:14:54.919 --> 00:15:00.320 and twenty seven repeat offenders were responsible for thirty percent of more than twenty two 189 00:15:00.399 --> 00:15:05.480 thousand retail thefts across the city. What do you think that does the businesses, 190 00:15:07.080 --> 00:15:09.840 to the workers, the customers, the entire city as a whole. 191 00:15:11.759 --> 00:15:16.440 And this Mayor Adams was elected because he promised to be tough on crime. 192 00:15:16.879 --> 00:15:20.919 He's the next cop. That was his platform, tough on crime. Well, 193 00:15:22.000 --> 00:15:28.279 here's his new plan to combat rampant retail theft. He's called for installing 194 00:15:28.600 --> 00:15:35.360 kiosks inside stores to offer social services to thieves. I don't know about you, 195 00:15:35.799 --> 00:15:39.440 but I can't stand using a kiosk inside of McDonald's. I find it 196 00:15:39.480 --> 00:15:43.639 too confusing. I want to talk to a human being and give my order. 197 00:15:43.679 --> 00:15:48.559 I don't want to punch sixteen buttons with all people's fingerprints on him. 198 00:15:48.759 --> 00:15:52.000 I just just let me talk to somebody. I don't care if they only 199 00:15:52.039 --> 00:15:58.200 speak Spanish. I'll point to the picture of what I want. The plan 200 00:15:58.440 --> 00:16:06.799 would allow nonviolent offenders to avoid prosecution or going to jail by meaningfully engaging with 201 00:16:06.919 --> 00:16:14.279 services to help address underlying factors that lead to shoplifting. Oh well, that's 202 00:16:14.320 --> 00:16:18.519 just so nice, so nice in accommodating, isn't it. I mean, 203 00:16:18.519 --> 00:16:22.759 it makes so much sense. The government will ask retailers to send their employees 204 00:16:22.840 --> 00:16:30.840 to training for de escalation tactics, anti theft tools, and security best practices 205 00:16:32.159 --> 00:16:37.639 to help keep them safe in the event of an emergency step back. I've 206 00:16:37.639 --> 00:16:41.440 been trained in de escalation tactics. I've also got a great deal of knowledge 207 00:16:41.440 --> 00:16:48.159 and anti theft tools and security practices. The guy be shot three words into 208 00:16:48.240 --> 00:16:56.919 that sentence. Part of this brainstorm is to establish a neighborhood retail watch system 209 00:16:56.039 --> 00:17:00.799 for businesses in close proximity to one another. So the Korean deli can tell 210 00:17:00.840 --> 00:17:07.359 the Italian pork store, which you can then tell the Hispanic bodega exactly who's 211 00:17:07.359 --> 00:17:11.920 coming in this store and who looks like a thief. I just got hit 212 00:17:11.079 --> 00:17:15.720 for fifteen dollars. You might be next. Be on the look. None 213 00:17:15.720 --> 00:17:19.079 of this makes sense. What are you get? Everybody? Walkie talkies CB 214 00:17:19.279 --> 00:17:26.240 radios, so they can share real time intelligence with each other and with law 215 00:17:26.359 --> 00:17:30.279 enforcement in the event of a theft. Hello, law enforcement, I'm watching 216 00:17:30.279 --> 00:17:37.359 a man steal at pack of hot dogs? What do I do? So 217 00:17:37.440 --> 00:17:45.519 they're gonna install resource kiosks inside the stores to connect individuals in need to critical 218 00:17:45.880 --> 00:17:52.319 government resources and social services. Of course, here we go, communism. 219 00:17:52.319 --> 00:17:59.279 We're almost there. Don't leave yet, We're right behind you. The Democrats 220 00:17:59.400 --> 00:18:07.200 answer to his skyrocketing crime in cities is to install self help kiosk for thieves. 221 00:18:08.119 --> 00:18:14.720 How long before you think they fucking steal these kiosks? Oh my god? 222 00:18:14.759 --> 00:18:18.880 Anyhow, let's let's get to some other ridiculous things that are going on 223 00:18:18.920 --> 00:18:22.319 in this country. Oh and by the way, before I do that, 224 00:18:22.400 --> 00:18:26.559 real clear those of you who have yet to become patrons, I just I 225 00:18:26.720 --> 00:18:30.279 want to let you know that I'm the only person in the country that knows 226 00:18:30.359 --> 00:18:36.640 the truth about Jamie Fox's medical situation. I have a source who was in 227 00:18:36.799 --> 00:18:41.759 the room, and trust being when I tell you his daughter lied when she 228 00:18:41.880 --> 00:18:45.000 said that Jamie's being playing pickle ball. First of all, can we talk 229 00:18:45.319 --> 00:18:51.720 a black dude playing pickleball? No? But if you want the exact details, 230 00:18:51.759 --> 00:18:55.960 of what Jamie Fox is facing and it's very, very dire. Go 231 00:18:56.079 --> 00:19:03.279 to patreon dot com slash fame is a bitch. Doctor Drew Pinski heard the 232 00:19:03.319 --> 00:19:07.039 show and had his people call me yesterday morning to be on his show on 233 00:19:07.200 --> 00:19:11.079 May thirtieth. So if you can, like I always say, you have 234 00:19:11.119 --> 00:19:15.519 a much better time on Patreon. But either way, I'll be delivering a 235 00:19:15.559 --> 00:19:19.839 free show for you guys once a week. Now. Then when our company's 236 00:19:19.920 --> 00:19:26.559 gonna learn. Here's the other wing bang Dang dang story of the year. 237 00:19:26.480 --> 00:19:34.880 The retail giant Target has rolled out an LGBT Pride collection that includes so called 238 00:19:36.559 --> 00:19:45.359 tuck friendly wear and rainbow colored onesies for infants and children. Why because babies 239 00:19:45.440 --> 00:19:49.720 know what sex they want to be. Toddlers have that on their mind. 240 00:19:52.200 --> 00:19:56.279 What is going on? Guys? Whoever is running Target? Do they realize 241 00:19:56.319 --> 00:20:03.000 they're about to become bud Light two point zer targets line of trans options. 242 00:20:03.240 --> 00:20:08.079 Remember, Target, I believe, was the first store that separated toy aisles 243 00:20:08.640 --> 00:20:12.480 and made them. In other words, they incorporated toy asles. There's no 244 00:20:12.519 --> 00:20:18.400 more boys toys than girls toys. Now every toys unisex. So if you're 245 00:20:18.400 --> 00:20:22.920 looking for something that boys typically play, you're gonna find it mixed in with 246 00:20:22.000 --> 00:20:26.920 things that girls play with. It's just, you know, we don't want 247 00:20:26.920 --> 00:20:30.240 to separate them in the store. It's a little bit. It's not nice 248 00:20:30.640 --> 00:20:33.000 to separate them because their gender really is up in the air. So we've 249 00:20:33.000 --> 00:20:37.160 got to let them choose by walking down a couple of aisles that offer everything. 250 00:20:38.039 --> 00:20:42.240 Maybe a boy wants the Barbie doll that wets her pants, I don't 251 00:20:42.240 --> 00:20:45.440 know, and the little girl wants rockham socck'em robots. That's just the 252 00:20:45.440 --> 00:20:49.680 way it's gonna be. And if she reaches her rockh'am soccer robots bingo, 253 00:20:49.839 --> 00:20:55.200 she's definitely gonna be a boy. She identifies the boy. If a boy 254 00:20:55.240 --> 00:20:59.279 grabs his sister's doll, he's a girl. You gotta get the operation. 255 00:20:59.319 --> 00:21:00.799 You gotta stuck get normal blockers. What are you doing when you're getta get 256 00:21:00.799 --> 00:21:11.599 You're late? Kids go through phases asshole as holes, I should say so, 257 00:21:11.720 --> 00:21:19.839 tough friendly construction and extra crotch coverage. Other things they are offering have 258 00:21:22.039 --> 00:21:26.839 gotten people pissed off. They have t shirts that say Pride, Adult Drag 259 00:21:26.960 --> 00:21:36.559 Queen Katya. Trans people will always exist and girls gaze days. This is 260 00:21:36.599 --> 00:21:44.680 so ridiculous, you know, it's such bullshit. Take your business elsewhere. 261 00:21:45.079 --> 00:21:52.640 They're indoctrinating and grooming our kids with this LGBTQ ideology. They're not even being 262 00:21:52.720 --> 00:21:59.880 bashful about it. It's very inappropriate and disturbing. And I hope they're in 263 00:22:00.240 --> 00:22:04.480 parents out there that understand how wrong this is and just show Target that this 264 00:22:04.559 --> 00:22:11.480 bullshit is not going to sell. Some people think the only thing these corporations 265 00:22:11.559 --> 00:22:17.319 understand is money. Some people want Target to get the bud Light treatment, 266 00:22:18.400 --> 00:22:21.319 and we should work to put the pressure on them. I'm all for that 267 00:22:22.480 --> 00:22:26.359 because I think what they're doing is worse than what bud Light did. Because 268 00:22:26.759 --> 00:22:32.400 Target is selling chest binders and tough friendly bathing suits for kids. Bud Light 269 00:22:32.519 --> 00:22:37.079 is dealing with adults. That's a different story. But as I said on 270 00:22:37.200 --> 00:22:41.920 the Patreon, Corporate America is not doing this for money. They're doing this. 271 00:22:44.799 --> 00:22:48.720 Look, they know these moves won't grow their bottom line. They know 272 00:22:48.839 --> 00:22:52.400 that, but right now, all these companies, whether it's Budweiser, Nike, 273 00:22:52.920 --> 00:22:59.640 Maybeling, Target, they're making these ridiculous changes so they can improve their 274 00:22:59.680 --> 00:23:04.880 soul social score in terms of diversity inclusion and equity. I like to say 275 00:23:04.920 --> 00:23:08.680 it in that order. I don't like saying diversion, equity, inclusion, 276 00:23:10.079 --> 00:23:15.960 because diversity, inclusion and equity those initials stand for die. And that's exactly 277 00:23:15.039 --> 00:23:18.240 what's going to happen to their sales and maybe even their companies that that keep 278 00:23:18.279 --> 00:23:25.880 this shit up. But I mean, everyone's being pushed and urged, and 279 00:23:25.920 --> 00:23:30.240 I wouldn't be surprised that there weren't money under the table from George Soros and 280 00:23:30.359 --> 00:23:36.039 any of his dastardly American hating wealthy friends who are making this happen. But 281 00:23:36.160 --> 00:23:40.960 this is being done so that these companies will have a better social score. 282 00:23:41.039 --> 00:23:45.200 You don't how to have social scores. In China, there was even an 283 00:23:45.200 --> 00:23:49.200 episode on Black Mirror about people having social scores get lower or higher on any 284 00:23:49.240 --> 00:23:52.599 given day if you said hi to somebody in the street, or didn't say 285 00:23:52.680 --> 00:23:56.880 hi to somebody in the street, if you ignored somebody at work, you 286 00:23:56.920 --> 00:24:00.240 see a social go down like it's a day only thing, like a stock 287 00:24:00.279 --> 00:24:04.839 market of what you're worth in terms of what everybody thinks you're worth. And 288 00:24:04.960 --> 00:24:07.720 suddenly, if your social score goes down too much, you may not be 289 00:24:07.759 --> 00:24:11.759 able to attend your girlfriend's wedding because only certain people can add. I mean, 290 00:24:11.759 --> 00:24:17.359 it gets the black Mirror episode is wild, But then again, is 291 00:24:17.400 --> 00:24:25.039 this shit any less wild? So it's all being done so that they can 292 00:24:25.079 --> 00:24:29.319 have a better social score. So what T shirt are you going to get 293 00:24:29.319 --> 00:24:33.599 for your little one come their birthday or Christmas? Did their T shirts that 294 00:24:33.680 --> 00:24:37.000 read, like I said, prod adult queen Katya trans people will always exist, 295 00:24:37.640 --> 00:24:44.400 girls gaze days. I mean, it's a tough choice. Take your 296 00:24:44.440 --> 00:24:53.440 business elsewhere they're indoctrinating and grooming kids with LGBTQ ideology. Just go This other 297 00:24:53.480 --> 00:24:56.960 store is shop local, shop shop, go to go to stores, go 298 00:24:57.039 --> 00:25:00.240 to boutiques, go to stores that are run by families in your neighborhood. 299 00:25:00.440 --> 00:25:07.359 Support those businesses. But this is where the alphabet army has taken us, 300 00:25:07.440 --> 00:25:12.319 and this is where the woke have taken us. And I'm sure a lot 301 00:25:12.359 --> 00:25:17.119 of you thought, oh, do these moves really come on? They don't 302 00:25:17.160 --> 00:25:22.160 really mean anything. How harmful can these changes be? Well, this is 303 00:25:22.160 --> 00:25:27.839 how stupid things have gotten. Now. You know the famous Oscar Mayer wienermobile. 304 00:25:29.480 --> 00:25:33.039 I'm sure you've seen it. Maybe you've seen one of them driving across 305 00:25:33.119 --> 00:25:34.599 country, or maybe they stopped in your neck of the woods. Maybe you 306 00:25:34.720 --> 00:25:42.279 have one in your hometown. But it's basically a yellow car, a long 307 00:25:42.400 --> 00:25:48.599 yellow car with a giant hot dog on top that's curved upward. It isn't 308 00:25:48.599 --> 00:25:52.000 a been sexual looking. It's about hot dogs are sexual looking because some hot 309 00:25:52.039 --> 00:25:56.200 dogs are sold with a curve and not just straight. I prefer the curve 310 00:25:56.279 --> 00:26:00.839 hot dog. They look better in a bun if you ask me. It's 311 00:26:00.880 --> 00:26:06.079 always been great advertising for the top hot talg brand Oscar Mayer to have that 312 00:26:06.319 --> 00:26:11.920 weenermobile driving across country. But blah blah blah blah blah blah, Jeff Goldblum 313 00:26:11.960 --> 00:26:18.640 says, should we really be saying weener anymore? That's what this comes down 314 00:26:18.680 --> 00:26:22.839 to. I mean, what does that do for the kids? You mean, 315 00:26:22.920 --> 00:26:26.559 the kids who get to pick from bathing suits to target that have a 316 00:26:26.599 --> 00:26:30.799 greater crotch area or more tough room for their little boys who want to hide 317 00:26:30.799 --> 00:26:36.039 their wieners to look more like little girls. Let me just listen to that 318 00:26:36.200 --> 00:26:41.319 question that I just posed. It's ridiculous, but basically, Oscar Maya just 319 00:26:41.400 --> 00:26:48.920 announced that it's renaming its world famous Weenamobile after eighty seven years. They're now 320 00:26:48.079 --> 00:26:55.759 called Frankmobiles, and there's a new fleet of Frank Mobiles that are going to 321 00:26:55.839 --> 00:27:00.240 hit the streets any day now as part of a Want of US entry rebranding 322 00:27:02.000 --> 00:27:07.279 that the company says, pays homage to its new one hundred percent beef Franks. 323 00:27:07.440 --> 00:27:11.000 Don't believe it. They've always had them, well not always, but 324 00:27:11.039 --> 00:27:18.039 they're not that new. The Weeningmobile is a beloved American icon. It's been 325 00:27:18.079 --> 00:27:25.319 making kids smile, grown up smile, you know, because we all see 326 00:27:25.359 --> 00:27:30.599 it and then we all want one of those delicious wieners that we've been eating 327 00:27:30.599 --> 00:27:37.480 for the last hundred years. The company lies and says the goal of the 328 00:27:37.519 --> 00:27:42.720 Revamped Mobile hot Dog, which basically was born in nineteen thirty six at the 329 00:27:42.799 --> 00:27:48.839 General Body Assembly Plan in Chicago. That's where it began. The whole new 330 00:27:48.920 --> 00:27:56.720 Revamped Mobile hot Dog is to discourage people from taking things to seriously? What 331 00:27:56.759 --> 00:28:00.599 does that even mean? Was our people put their lips on the Weenermobile? 332 00:28:02.680 --> 00:28:04.759 What do they? What do you mean taking things too seriously? Is it? 333 00:28:04.839 --> 00:28:07.759 Is it sexual? When it drives by? Do people get turned on? 334 00:28:11.559 --> 00:28:17.680 Now? These cars are going to feature decals that urge hungry passers by 335 00:28:17.799 --> 00:28:22.359 to please do not lick. Let me let me read that again. There's 336 00:28:22.359 --> 00:28:30.480 gonna be decals on these new mobiles that discourage people from licking the wienermobile. 337 00:28:32.920 --> 00:28:36.759 I guess that was a thing. I hope they didn't try to lick it 338 00:28:36.759 --> 00:28:45.599 while it was moving. Also, frank whistles are now what they call what 339 00:28:45.759 --> 00:28:52.400 used to be weener whistles. Can't say weener. About four or five years 340 00:28:52.440 --> 00:28:53.440 ago, I told you guys, one day, we're not going to be 341 00:28:53.440 --> 00:28:57.240 able to sell mister Coffee coffee machines. I know, curing is the thing 342 00:28:57.319 --> 00:29:02.119 right now and other breast, so there's all sorts of coffee machines. But 343 00:29:02.359 --> 00:29:06.759 mister Coffee in its day was gigantic. And I know for a fact that 344 00:29:06.920 --> 00:29:11.319 there's gonna be a major rebranding. You're not gonna there's no They cannot sell 345 00:29:11.400 --> 00:29:17.279 a mister Coffee. It's very misogynistic. There might be a miss Coffee, 346 00:29:18.279 --> 00:29:22.160 maybe a mister and missus Coffee. I don't know, but mister Coffee is 347 00:29:22.160 --> 00:29:29.559 gonna come next. So frankmobile drivers will now be known as frankfurters. That's 348 00:29:29.680 --> 00:29:33.960 very original. They used to be called hot doggers. Isn't that it's not 349 00:29:34.440 --> 00:29:37.559 fun? What do you do for living? I'm a hot dogger? What 350 00:29:37.680 --> 00:29:41.039 is that? I drive the Wienermobile? Oh no, what do you do 351 00:29:41.119 --> 00:29:45.680 for a living? I'm a Frankfurter? What do you do? I drive 352 00:29:45.759 --> 00:29:51.680 the Frankmobile? But why? And that's not all? By the way, 353 00:29:52.359 --> 00:29:56.319 of course, the animal rights activist group Peter people for the Ethical Treatment of 354 00:29:56.359 --> 00:30:03.400 assholes. They even offered to pay for the replacement part and maintenance for one 355 00:30:03.519 --> 00:30:11.319 year if the company promised to convert the vehicle to not dog mobile, not 356 00:30:11.519 --> 00:30:18.000 dog mobile or a vegan hot dog mobile. We know why this happened. 357 00:30:19.000 --> 00:30:23.640 They're trying hard to spend this as being anything, but it really But what 358 00:30:23.680 --> 00:30:30.240 it really is Oscar Mayah went awoke. The name is offensive to the perpetually 359 00:30:30.440 --> 00:30:37.359 offended victimhood class, and as a result, there goes another once great American 360 00:30:37.400 --> 00:30:45.880 brand pushing consumers and customers away. Craft and Hinds will soon join Anheuser Busch 361 00:30:47.240 --> 00:30:52.400 in giving away their products. Have these pricks never heard of? If it 362 00:30:52.440 --> 00:30:57.759 ain't broken, don't fix it. I don't care personally because I buy Nathan's 363 00:30:57.839 --> 00:31:03.519 or Boar's Head or Hebrew National. But the Oscar Mayer brand is iconic. 364 00:31:04.400 --> 00:31:08.880 Oh, I wish share an askarim ioween er. That is what I truly 365 00:31:10.000 --> 00:31:15.400 like to be, because if I wasn't ask him ioween er, everyone would 366 00:31:15.440 --> 00:31:21.240 be in love with me. Those simple lyrics they took an hour to write 367 00:31:21.400 --> 00:31:26.799 by a career jingle write on named Richard Trent Litch, and it became one 368 00:31:26.839 --> 00:31:30.759 of the longest running, the most popular jingles in American history. This guy 369 00:31:30.880 --> 00:31:34.480 also had big jingles with McDonald's and V eight and the National Safety Council. 370 00:31:34.839 --> 00:31:37.319 I don't remember that catchy tune, but I guess it had a jingle. 371 00:31:40.359 --> 00:31:44.200 Basically, he heard a radio advertisement about a jingle contest the hot Dog brand 372 00:31:44.279 --> 00:31:48.559 was sponsoring. He started to work the next night. Then he recalled something 373 00:31:48.680 --> 00:31:52.680 his son, who was eleven years old, had said to him regarding a 374 00:31:52.799 --> 00:31:56.960 wish that he were a dirt bike hot dog. And the father said, 375 00:31:57.000 --> 00:32:00.599 what's that? And basically, a dirt bike hot dog that's what they called 376 00:32:00.640 --> 00:32:05.599 a cool kid back in the day. And that's where Trentlitch found his inspiration 377 00:32:06.519 --> 00:32:10.839 and he submitted the finished product and then he recorded his son and nine year 378 00:32:10.880 --> 00:32:15.160 old daughter singing the lyrics. Those are his kids singing the lyrics, and 379 00:32:15.359 --> 00:32:21.319 the rest is well, you know history. He died in twenty sixteen, 380 00:32:21.400 --> 00:32:25.839 but his songwriting legacy lives on to this day. The Oscar Mayah Weenas song 381 00:32:27.119 --> 00:32:30.319 is still one of the most recognized jingles of all time. But it's gonna 382 00:32:30.359 --> 00:32:37.480 go away. That's this is what some of us mean when we talk about 383 00:32:38.000 --> 00:32:43.279 when America was great. I know, it's just a dumb hot dog, 384 00:32:43.400 --> 00:32:46.319 I get it. But Wieners make barbecues. Wieners make a quick and easy 385 00:32:46.440 --> 00:32:52.319 dinner. Wieners are passed over fences to your neighbor. Weeners bring families together. 386 00:32:52.880 --> 00:32:57.599 And now they're frank furs and not even hot dogs because of Peter. 387 00:32:59.480 --> 00:33:01.400 Now we're just gonna go back to the word the Nazis used to call them 388 00:33:01.519 --> 00:33:08.119 great progress. And in the wake of the recent bud Light and other marketing 389 00:33:08.200 --> 00:33:15.039 fiascos, maybe Oscar Mayer should have a frank internal discussion about this change. 390 00:33:15.079 --> 00:33:17.200 If you get my drift, and pardon the pun, but this is one 391 00:33:17.240 --> 00:33:22.319 of the greatest marketing gimmicks of all time. If you've seen the Weenamobile in 392 00:33:22.400 --> 00:33:25.240 person a few times, it's great. Man. Kids go crazy, even 393 00:33:25.279 --> 00:33:30.880 adults love to see it. They should have kept the original name and not 394 00:33:30.200 --> 00:33:35.440 worried about the goddamn one person out of ten million that's gonna be offended. 395 00:33:36.960 --> 00:33:39.240 You think I'm kidding, I'm not kidding. I'll tell you right now. 396 00:33:39.359 --> 00:33:43.759 I'm always ahead of this stuff. Get ready for the good Year Blimp to 397 00:33:43.920 --> 00:33:47.480 be renamed the good Year Balloon because some fatties are offended by the word blimp. 398 00:33:47.599 --> 00:33:52.440 You'll see. I guess they have to write a new theme song too. 399 00:33:53.200 --> 00:34:00.079 These pansies are ruining everything. An infinitesimal, tiny tooth, loudmouth, 400 00:34:00.200 --> 00:34:07.240 bluehead minority makes the rules now in America. I can't believe it's taken this 401 00:34:07.440 --> 00:34:12.559 long to correct this misogyny. But now the world will be a safer place 402 00:34:13.559 --> 00:34:17.920 and we can all sleep better now. I'm aj Benz and that was your 403 00:34:17.960 --> 00:34:22.880 free show from Monday, May twenty second, twenty twenty three. I'll talk 404 00:34:22.920 --> 00:34:22.639 to these next week.
