For an LA dude, one of the worst things you can call someone is a weirdo. In today's episode, we run through some of the plays that the Harris and Trump campaigns are running to try to prove how weird the other side is.

Media. You know, it's a fascinating thing to watch how slang in words evolve specifically around insults, which is what this episode is about, specifically the strategy of insults. I think I said in one of the little breakdowns about the DNC in one of the video ones, hopefully you're following us on social media, on the Politics pod and on my TikTok, which is just prop hip hop because I'm trying to grow my own name too. But when you're gonna roast somebody, when you're gonna call him something like if you gonna drag somebody like that, it's gotta be kind of true, Like there has to be even if it's not factual, it's got to feel like it might be true. That's why the jd Vance and couch thing works because you can't prove that he actually had sexual intercourse with a couch. But looking at this dude and knowing that you know dudes like him, I could see that be it true, like douchebag frat boy, you know, out partying, got drunk, like I could. I could picture Brett Kavanaugh doing it like just that type dude. So you don't know if it's true, but you could see that, like that's why that roast will work. And then I gave an example which I still feel strongly about about Kamala Harris, where it's like, if you're gonna roast her, it's gotta seem true. May you can't verify it, but it's gotta seem true, Like she don't date black men. Well, she's married, so there's that, but you got but has she ever dated a black man? She don't find black men attractive. You don't know that, but I could see that. I could see how that might be, like her vibe little light skin and bougie. But that's just it's not true. But like it's gotta seem like it's true for it to stick anyway. The evolution of a roasting to somebody as a strategy, and the terms we used to use. I remember, like in more Gas Busters, like you know, early nineties, you a MOREK sucker MC, which is something I called my daughter all the time, my little daughter, like a little sucker em C. Like it's at this point it's funny to call some call somebody a sucker EMC, a sucker MC if you don't know, but yeah, you know, obviously there there are lines you can't cross. You know, we was kids talking about somebody mama. Unless it's like we just cracking your mama jokes, that's different, but that's not specifically your actual mama. But if it's like I'm really talking about your actual mom, it's like, all right, nigga, we finn fight. Obviously calling a man a bitch, whole ass nigga, put sass nigga, like the like they do down sotoud oh, put sass nigga. You start talking like that, it means like yo, it's it's about to get serious and Lanta like lame man nigga, like lame man. You know what I'm saying. Like these are things. They're kind of regional insults, you know, whole ass nigga. Like you call somebody that, it's like, we're okay, that sucks, but you're kind of kidding. Now with girls, you know, they call it, they call a friends bitch out. But then you could tell by the tone and if we friends, what the you what you mean by that? The tone matters. But at least in California, what has become probably the worst thing you could call somebody. It's a weird old hood politics y'all. So this episode is about strategy, tone and storytelling. But before we get into that, what look is like this? What look is like this? Bull look is like this? What look is like this? Yeah? Yeah, what look is like this? Uh it's like this. So yeah, Uh some light news. I'm on the new Fashon record, which is cool, a song called Tots for Tots. Been moving with this crew called mid Nineties and yeah, you know, I've been a long time fan of Fash and had a chance to finally connect with him and make some music. I've learned when it comes to my career, especially music is just like yo, play a chill, play the long game, don't force yourself into situations it'll it'll come to you. It'll come to you. And I've been trying to connect with Sean for a while, so I'm just glad it finally worked out and it's a dope song and the songs out now, so it's called Toys for TODs. It's on Fast Shawn's new record called You Owe Us with Interest. I also this year came out on a track with Blue of Evidence songs called Hell Damn Anyway. Uh, So that's good news, funny news, Costco said, keep my name out your mouth. We ain't got nothing to do with this diddy thing. We ain't sell. We don't even sell baby oil like that. Don't speak on my name. Do not bring me into your mess, black people. My name is Wes and what I ain't in this mess. I ain't in this mess. My name is Bennett and I ain't in it. That's Costco say, I ain't in y'all this nasty, freaky as. I'm not gonna need to stay his ass inside. I ain't a part of that. And not so fun news. Uh Israel has taken out the leader of Hezbealad nosra La, and I mean he's been there leader for like thirty two years, so like it or love it, you know, he they dude, And it's not like they don't have a succession plan because he's been the leader for thirty two years. And again, let's make this very clear. Hesbe lying boys, niggas don't like y'all understand. You know, this is why we say this gangbanging because it's like I hope you know, I hope you don't think any of us is arguing in favor of anybody except for the suffering people of Palestine and Lebanon and folks being carpetbomb because within that airstrike of him taking up Israel, taking out the leader, a thousand other people have died. Now you would ask me, uh, what about the deaths inside of Israel. Again, this is why we call it gangbanging, because if your argument is Israel ain't gonna be safe until all its enemies are destroyed, all of its enemies can say the same thing, that's why it's gangbanging. But I would say this if I had a chance to sit down, because obviously will not obviously, because the fact is Israel they want it with Iran. That's what they wanted with They're trying to go head up with Iran. For a long time they wasn't trying to go head up with Ran, but it seemed like Iran don't want to go head up with them. And if I'm in, and so they iron essentially backs Kamas has beloved who these like, all these people, And if I were to speak to those groups, it's like all right, word, you know, I mean, it's cool. You got somebody to come on and you know, give you the tools, you know, put that work in your hand, But I kind of noticed that they don't ever be outside fighting with y'all. It seemed to be like they okay with y'all dying in the streets and having your pages blown up. Ain't nobody taking the heat to Tehran in which Tehran's like with Nigga, that's because we got nukes, Nigga. If you at nukes, Jo, I'm saying like it'd be a different story. Y'all go out there and fight. Won't need it before we got nukes. But we can help y'all. That's y'all's problem. I'm just I'm just saying, like, maybe your big homies don't love you the way they say they do. It's all I'm saying. Hurricane Helen just absolutely dogged walk North Cacilaca, man Ashville just in ruins, shout out the homies in Greenville at Bridge City Coffee. Man, I know they roasters down. Man. I had the homies checked in and they told me they all right, but they like, yeah, Man, I got neighbors who's like tree just through their roofs and man, So if you got folks out there, man, I'm hoping and praying your folks is all right. This puts a stall in an already dying business, which is my cold brew coffee. But they're had some beans coming in from Honduras that obviously that which are going to be roasted in Greenville. But it seems like shipping is kind of an issue right now, so we're gonna pause that a little longer. Yeah, Oh, Vice presidential debate speaking of weirdos is happening this week, so that makes this show rather relevant. All right, here we go. It's like this, all right, how how weirdo became like the worst thing you got somebody out here is beyond me. How it happened, But what it's communicating is and then I'm gonna give you an example of this in action before I start talking about political strategy. The the attitude about it is it's dismissive in the sense that I almost don't have time for the things that you are bringing up. What you're worried about is so unimportant and just just strange. Why do you care about this? What are you talking about? Why did you acting like this? You weirdo? Like I just like what's happening right now, very much of like the office and Jim looking at the camera like what's what's what are we? What is he talking about? You weirdo? And when somebody like a weirdo, like I really don't even have to fight. It's like how you know how when you a giggle like miss shuts your whole ass and walk like somebody being very serious ready to fight you, and you're like miss shuts your whole ass and we just laugh and walk away like somebody seriously trying to boss up on you, but it's funny or you're just like bro weirdo, like relaxed, kind of like ain't nobody and the giggle and walk away. It's kind of communicating, like bro, I beat the brakes off you, like I listen walk like this you don't want this smoke? Like this is not even worth it, Like just go sit down somewhere, like what is your problem? I'm not even gonna fight you over this or even defend myself or even engage. You're weirdo, Like what is fool's problem? Like who mans is this? Like hey, who know cauz? Like why are you? What is he talking about? So it's that attitude, even if this person is trying to bully you, If this person is trying to press you you're weirdo, Like I'm not weirdo? Like what did you you know? Just what you are so concerned about doesn't matter. It's so beneath us, and you are deeply unserious, Like I just can't I can't even take you serious. So it's not can't take you serious in the sense that you're not dangerous or that like you're not capable of violence, but just that like what you like this? Don't like why I don't know none of us understand why this is such a big deal to you, the way for which you're approaching us about something that's really silly. It's like I feel weird, like weird though, like what is your problem that? That is the attitude and this is why or one of the reasons why Kendrick won because it wasn't so much I make more money than you. I'm a better rapper than you, because he's clearly a better rapper. I'm sorry, y'all, let's let's just be honest. Do we make more hits? No, because he's even admitted you're a hit maker. You make us dance, but you want to get into some battle rap you can't rap better than me, But that's not the point. The point is freaky asked. Niggas need to stay they asses side. Hey, like you know what I'm saying, Like you're weird though, Like what do you know the a minor? Like I heard you like I'm young, Like that's weird. It's weird that you like minors. It's weird that you're a grown man with children and you still partying like you're a twenty year old. That's weird. So that's the argument he's making, Like it's like, y'all you weird, bro, Like why you ain't grow up? Are you following like you you otherise in a way that is powerful because following my metaphor here, what is supposed to be cool is the Hugh Hefner life, the playboy, permanent bachelor, international player with a passport, always got girls, always partying, endless summer, endless money. I'm in every country, I'm in every party, I got every girl I've I've smashed every prom queen in every city. I've you know, slept with every beauty queen in every country. And I'm still on a boat. I'm still on my yacht, and i still gotta mansion. That's what's cool. I'm the I got, I got drinks, were drinking, we partying, we smoking, we got girls, we got money. That's supposed to be cool. What Kendrick did was be like, Nigga, you're thirty eight with two children. What are you serious? How have you not grown out of this? It's supposed to be square to go home and be all domesticated where you're just like, yeah, this is like you know, Dad Bob dad life. And that's why he was like, Yo, I'm sorry in Meet the Grams, like I'm sorry, I live a quiet life. Noes that Meet the Grams or yeah, I'm sorry, I live a quiet life that I just I go home and I raise my children and I love my one wife. You're the weirdo because we're in our mid to late thirties. Nigga, be a better man, and why do you have betaphiles on? Like you're a weirdo. So it wasn't so much the rap thing. I just got off the phone with the homie Justin at It's all happening the you know, ambros and for heads, brilliant, brilliant video YouTube channel like please follow Justin. He's one of the smartest brains in hip hop. I don't care what nobody say, but he was like Drake could have done much better in his battle if he was just a better person. Like if he was a better person, then Kidrick probably wouldn't have much to say. You're a weirdo. I'm telling you how to culture feels from euphoria. Like I'm just I think you're I think you hate women. I think you're jealous of them. When I see you, pop, I see two bitches like you are weird and you think you think this is cool, but it's it's weird. You a grown man around teenagers, Nigga, that's weird. So this is when you call this is when you turn a group or a person into a weirdo. Why it works? And this, my friend, is the battle that the Republicans and the Democrats are engaged in which one of y'all are weirdos, next weirdos weirdos. All right, we're back now. I am talking storytelling and messaging. Okay, I'm not talking policy, nor am I talking how I feel. Okay, this is not my opinion. All Right, y'all know when it's my opinion, I feel like it's pretty obvious because again, I am not a journalist. I have no duties to be fair and balanced. I will be because that's me being a human, and because I don't owe any of these politicians or people I talk I owe them anything. This is all transactional. So I will tell you when it's what I think, and especially when I think, like there is a life and death situation here. You know, I agree with Robert Evans. I'm like, I think the repoking party needs to be burnt, burn to the ground, and y'all need to start over, like you're in a death grip right now, Like y'all need to start over like this. We need to have conservatives in the world like it helps. It helps having that push and pull. I agree. I don't agree with always what you think about. I think you offer a perspective that can help. But dog, whatever the hell y'all are now, ain't that anyway? That's my opinion. This is an understanding of narrative and strategy. Okay, So I might say some in this video or in this video, in this podcast, some very outlandish takes that again one more time, I don't believe. I am just saying, this is the story that's being communicated. Now, let's do this weirdos. The story that the Republicans have been able to say about the left is they've been able to say the left are weirdos and weird normal they want weird stuff, like we're just we can't even be normal. Now, how did they tell this story? What they told the story first starting in the nineties around the concept of abortion. They're just like, nigga, that's a baby. I don't understand why you're trying to convince me that an unborn child is not a child. What is y'all talking about? What is it? You're weird? We're not like you are you you're gonna convince me this is not killing? It isn't that the goal? Like you're gonna use terms like terminate rather than kill, as if I don't know that that's the same thing. Again, this is their story. What I believe y'all don't be clipping this thing and putting it in no, but this is their story. Like, look, this is absurd, Like that's not how you finna tell me that two humans just created a human and that human before would get out the wound ain't a human? What is you talking about? You're weird? That was the argument that was what that was that, But that goes back way back to the nineties, to the eighties and the nineties when they started trying to overturn Roe v. Wade, like y'all you guys, like, have y'all lost y'all mind? And then the next thing, the next evolution of that was the LGBTQ, right. Their argument was, why are you trying to convince me this is natural? Well, I mean, y'all can't even make humans? Like what do you? I don't understand what y'all are talking about? Of course you should be able to live, but that's not that's not marriage, Like what do you? I don't understand what you're saying, Like you could have something else? I mean, you weird for making me want to believe? What are you talking about? Like that? Doesn't y'all are like this? What? Why? Like I don't understand? Like this is you can't like Dick Vagina like you can't tell them too, I don't get it. Why is how are we the weird ones? Like that was their arguments, like how are we the weird ones? When this is how the species? Like I mean, what what living creature? Isn't the whole earthwork like this nigga, the trees are this, the trees are male and feet like it's seed and ovary like cut open an orange, nigga, that's ovary, Like, I don't I just what do you? I don't get it? Dick Vagina like what do you what? You're weird for trying to tell me that them two don't naturally go together? Like you, I mean, just look at it, one to stick the other as a whole. I don't know, it's what? Right? Was their argument? Again? So they're like, bro, like, if things don't have a definition, then they don't mean anything. So once you start stretching the definition of stuff, stuff stops meaning things. This argument continues to evolve into trans rites, into pronouns into when we started talking about therapy and toxic masculinity and you know, the nuclear family, They're just like, I don't understand what the fuck's a thrupple? Like what are y'all talking about? I don't like. And they got to be for a long time the outsiders, because they weren't up. They got to be except for when the few times that you know, Reagan and Bush was doing their thing. But as cultures started shifting, people got tired of they rhetoric, and they just started feeling like are The story they were telling was like, we feel like we're the only sober people in a room full of drunk folk. And I don't know if you've ever been the designated driver during a room full of drunk folk, how you realize how ridiculous everybody looks when they drunk. You're not jealous of that, seems like they have a more fun to you. You looking at them like they look ridiculous? Am I the only one? I'm the only look I'm the normal one, y'all. All, y'all not gonna convince me. While you guys are taking turns jumping into this fountain outside, you're doing that because you're drunk, Like I'm the only one. I don't understand, like okay, getting the car. That was the story they're trying to tell. They're like, dude, America's like, go home, America, you're drunk. Like what are y'all doing? I don't like what is happening right now? How are you finna tell me that a dude marrying a girl and having children is we like, what's wrong with that? Then we started talking about things like masculinity and toxic masculinity. And they kept being like, dude, you're telling me that just a dude being a dude is toxic. So I can't like fishing, I can't like fighting. I don't understand trucks are trucks are cool, Fighting's cool. I like, I'm just a dude, Like I'm It's not so much that I hate females. I'm just not one. Y'all act like I'm going home and beating my wife and being like feed me, Like, no, I'm just I'm just a dude, and nobody else gotta apologize for just being themselves. It's like it seemed like the only way for me to not to be a non toxic man is to just be a girl. That's crazy to me, is their argument, and their argument again. By my lord, don't get me started about canceling culture. Y'all mad at mister potato head, Well, like, what is the m and ms? We gotta stop you canceling it. You can sling, miss potato head. You make a doctor, doctor seuss. What is wrong with y'all? Like, Oh my god, it's just a It's a toy. It's a toy, guys, It's a toy. You're weird, was their argument. Again, was their argument, not my argument. I don't understand why this is so bad. Y'all are weird? Was their argument. Again, It's not what I think. This is the story they were telling and have been for years. Why the Trump thing worked is because of a lot of reasons, but one was we just want to return to normal. It's not that we hate anybody. Again, this is the story. It's just y'all are weird. Then you add the trance thing and the pronouns, and their story was, what the fuck is wrong with you? That is a man and you want me to not call him he? But it's clearly that you talk about the bathrooms and the gender neutral stuff, and they're losing their mind, like, how are y'all y'all are weird? This is listen, that's weird. I'm just saying that's weird. It's weird that you want me to call a man a woman. It's weird that this woman wants to go into the male bathrooms. It's weird that tampons are in the boy's bathroom. That's their argument, that's just weird. Boys don't menstruate. I don't understand. Then they threw their hands up, like, well, shit, what's a woman? Can you tell me what a woman is? These weirdos can't answer the question what is it? This is the easiest question. Was their argument, you're weird. You're like, what do you mean you feel like you're a girl? Son, you're a boy? Okay, if you feel like you're a girl, you're confused. Again, this is not the way I feel. This is their narrative. All of that is weird, and they tied that into the narrative of what they would call wokeness, where it was like, so I can't talk about the founding of the country, I can't talk about seventeen seventy six. I have to talk about slavery. Yes, slavery suck. But then we end that why the hell is you still talking about like nigga, you free? Like I don't know, Like what are we you have in a nice house, Like what are you talking about? Y'all are weird? We'd normal, you're weird while we got movies like Lady Bolers. It's because their argument is y'all are weird, Like I don't understand why this is so hard for you. A dude is a dude and a girl is a girl, and even if you chop up yo junk, you're still what you are like. And that's okay. Why is it you want me to ignore the obvious? Again, this is their story, not mine. I just don't understand why this is so difficult for y'all. And that and the fact that you're making me to beat the neanderthal is even more weird. This is their argument. This is again Kendrick saying, you telling me stay at home and taking care of my children is weird. No, nigga, you're the weirdo that you're that old and Kate go home and raise your children. That you still out here partying like you twenty two, that's weird. So then you fast forward to the streak that the Democrats had for presidents, right, and obviously you know the white lash of Trump is where it ends. Right. I think all of this is just whether it's the tea party or any of it, is just a response of a black man making into the office. These people just couldn't broke their brains. But that's again, that's my opinion. But take Chance the rapper, follow me, guys. What we loved about Chance is that he became famous off of mixtape. It is just a mixtape. He was an outsider, no label, just good music and a great following and a hard work, and he became a star. An outsider. I am not the industry. I am I'm the champion of the independence, the underdog. But when the underdog starts winning, they cease to be the underdog. You cease to be the outsider once you sign a label deal, once your campaign works, you are now the industry. So you can't keep calling yourself the underdog. You can't keep calling yourself the indie hero because now you're on well, now you're a star. Now you're playing arenas. You become the system, so you can't do the them thing because you are now them. What the Republicans were able to do during the Clinton years the Obama years is be like, we're the outsiders because look where culture is going, and we're the ones trying to keep everybody grounded, like we're the ones trying to remind you that water is wet and gravity works. That that was their argument, and y'all are floating in space. But then the tables turn. The outsider became the mainstream, and when the like we're normal, they're weird switches to and now we're in charge, and now we're bully and anything that does not fit inside of our tent is not only weird, needs to be destroyed. And this is where the Republicans went wrong, in my opinion, I'll tell you what I mean next. I we're back again. I'm just talking strategy and storytelling. What happened in the storytelling is them saying they're normal, we're normal, they're weird, and the causes they were attached themselves to started to attract real weirdos. These are the extremists of the world. And in that it pulled in deeply racist people who moved from I just don't understand this whole trans thing and this whole abortion thing to yeah, and they need to die and trans need to not exist. So it pushed it too far. You became bullies, and rather than being like I don't understanding trans thing, but like whatever, like everybody's welcome, you were more like they shouldn't have rights. They shouldn't be able to drink in our fountains, and parents shouldn't be able to So you started they started becoming an overlord. You got dudes saying, if you vote for a woman, you're not a man, Like what you got Dudes like Matt Walsh arguing that the Little Mermaid couldn't possibly be black because she lives at the bottom of the ocean. Nigga, that's a maid up character, it's a mermaid. What is you talking about with the masculinity thing? Now that they up, rather than taking the responsibility of saying, yeah, you know, in our worldview, we believe that men should be protectors and providers. Maybe we need to think about the ways for which we have interacted with females and maybe maybe they do have a point. Maybe we should listen. And they were like, no, shine this halogen light on my balls when when me too movements started hitting, rather than being like damn homie, yeah, Like yo, that's not pimp man, Like why you know you shouldn't be you shouldn't be treating girls. It's like, why are you so hard on men? That's just a man trying to get laid. Listen, men are alphas and it's a sigma beta boy, a soy boy that isn't trying to slay every woman he wants, Like, bro, what like that? They just rather they doubled down on it and it just it got so oppressive in the rules and the avatar of the Trump to where you had to twist yourself into a pretzel. You were the law and order people, and you about to elect a felon, a man doing all the stuff, all the family values that you said you wanted to hold on to is a man that don't hold none of them value. To the point to where about the abortion thing to points awear rather than being like, yo, we know, we just believe in the sanctity of life. You like, I don't care if your mama dying. I don't care if your pregnancy is sepsist. I don't care if you raped. I don't care if it's more Lesstation Nigga had that baby. Like Yo, you get the News Max, you get the fake news, you get this whole world, this conspiracy world. You get the QAnon where you went from being the normal ones to now y'all are weirdos, which is the narrative the Democrats are giving now. So now the story coming out of the DNC and moving into this campaign that we're about to experience again, I'm just talking strategy and narrative. Everything with the Republicans is doom and gloom, like you want to shut the border. So the problem of the world is immigrants. Y'all. Don't read like what are y'all talking about? Your leader is crazy and no matter what this man does, you just gonna follow him. That's weird. You've abandoned all of your morals so that you could keep this guy. This guy, if you look at us, we looked at our the head of our leader. It was like the head of our party and was like, bruh, it's time for you to sit down. You're gonna cost us this election. You know what that is? That's normal. If you see a guy who's slipping and is a liability, you approach him and you ask him to sit down for the greater good. You don't keep that man in power. You don't bend to his will. No, you you communicate to him that like sir, you've done your part, but like, bro, you gotta go. We're not gonna follow you into the abyss. You know what. I'm like, I'm not gonna follow you to the gates of hell. To follow one man into the gates of hell is weird. The Democrats finally figured out how to talk about and how to talk about the GOP and how they talking about them is the way that they were talked about, which is weird. Normal y'all are weird. It's how Kendrick talked about Drake where it's like, bro, that's not dope. Like all this stuff you think is cool is not cool. That's it's weird. Man, Like, why is you making Why is the Halkster there? He brought out the hawkster? Bruh, it's weird? What okay, that's your stars hulk Hogan like in character? What yo? That's not weird to y'all, y'all really let them my pillow guy talk to my pillow dude? That shr is this your king? Y'all don't y'all don't see that that's weird. So rather than pearl clutch and being like, oh, we can make better jokes, you do the Kendrick row where you just like brod freaky ass y'all need to stay ass inside weirdos. What are y'all talking? What's this fool talking about? Because it's like, I don't have to say this racism weird. I just don't understand how you could like dislike an entire group of people, especially when you ain't never met none of them. Anti Semitism is weird, like what you believe. At the same time, these people are vermin and control all levers of power. They're subhuman and in charge of all the money and entertainment, like what we believe in World War two in America being the greatest generation we ever had in the defeat than the defeating of Hitler. And he might have been right about the Jews. That's what it's weird. It's weird to think that immigrants are the totality of our problem. That's what it's also weird to just like nigga gay people. It is gay, there's gay people. I don't like. What is your problem, dude? Like, why do you care? Hey? Listen? Why you care about what's in the bathroom In Minnesota? If a person listen, what the law say is if you men straight, we got pass for you. Why you care? Man? It's dudes on TikTok painting they nails, and it's dudes in the comments absolutely outraged that man is a stranger. Why you care so much? What? What do you care? Bro? What happened to the masculinity that says I take care of my home and my own business. I ain't got nothing to do with me. What a man does in his own house is up to him. I don't care. Listen, you want me to call you her, you want me to call you they all right? Because I don't give a like okay, Like it's a matter of respect again. If we believe in dignity, honor, and respect, even if it don't make sense to me, it don't matter. I'm respecting you. I don't have to lord over yo. That's weird, bro, Like why you feel like you gotta control all that? Fam Relax? And for the life of me, I don't understand how in the world you don't see that man as a con artist. And this is not in any way a defense of any of our leaders. We just saying weird those At first, what the Republic or what the Democrats tried to do was dismiss the whole Maga movement just like, ah, stupid, it could never win. And then they mess around and win. It's just like when you got a bully that you don't take serious, you just giggle on that bully fire on you, you learn how to take them serious. And that's what happened. The Democrats got their ass kicked and then they was like, oh wait a minute, you can't stick to his level. You can't. You're not as funny as not as funny as Trump, Like that's the reality. The man is funny, and the man will say what he needed to say talking about the crowd size is ai my nigga? Like what phrases like black jobs. I know he didn't mean it to be funny, but that is funny. How do you weaponize that? How do you turn all of this stuff around? That's why he's good at That's why his nicknames work is because again, like I said before, that's how he wrote somebody where it's like it's kinda true. That's what makes it funny. Little Marko like he's short, sleepy Joe. He just that's how he seemed crooked Hillary, like all of us know this about the Clintons. Nobody trust the Clintons. That's why it worked. Don't nobody trust the Clintons and don't nobody and nobody had any confidence in Joe Biden Like that's that's why it worked. But fam why you gotta be weird about everything? Is now the narrative Kamala like the Democrats are like, yo, you just gonna you just gonna not help the homies in Ukraine, Like what is you? He's gonna kick out everybody, like you're gonna act like trans people don't exist, or you're just gonna he's gonna ban books, like what do you? That's weird, fam Like y'all. It feels like y'all trying to go backwards and they are that's their brand. We want to return, make America great again. We're trying to return this stuff. Like, Yo, it's weird to be against progress, Like what sort of nostalgia are you stuck into? And it's like, oh, I get it. You stuck in a world where and this is what they're not saying, but saying, you just want a world where white people were supreme and never had to think about anything else. That's the world you want, where the whole system worked to just for you. That's weird, gee, because it's the opposite of all we learned about what America was. I thought America was a tapestry. You ain't never you didn't do an Ellis Island project, you ain't been to the Statue of Liberty on me Like this is like the fully evolved pokemon of the tea party and even your own party. Don't understand what the hell you doing? That's weird, bro, No, we're normal. We're the ones that are Like, dude, you're free to do. You have freedoms, you're in the Yeah, Like, of course, what do I care gay people get married? Like you should be able to get married. That's stupid. Like, dude, if you you want to have surgery on your body because you believe inside of you that you're like, of course you should have the right to do that. I don't have to understand it, nigga, Like what you're now, girl? Dope? Okay, cool, I'm happy you're happy. Hey and Homie go to therapy dog Tim Walls one of the stories that again narrative, the narrative that he's painting is this is masculinity. This is a masculinity that y'all. Here's what's crazy that had the Republicans would have kept their head about them, they could have owned this type of masculinity. This is the type of masculinity that is in Yellowstone. Like, I'm a real ass dude. I like I look, I'm a real dude. I love the outside. I believe in what I believe in. I'm gonna protect then. I'm gonna protect nature. Not because I'm some sort of big city liberal, No, nigga, I live out here. I'm gonna try to protect the coyotes because I understand the coyotes keep the cows and they and if they ain't, no, if it's too many cowaries and the cows are going, they just gonna die, and then the grass go. If the grass dies, big dog, I can't feed the like I get ecosystems. I hunt. I ain't finish shoot every turkey fam because then they're all gonna be gone. You don't think I know that. So it's not something like you can't pay me as some sort of like Boston liberal tree hugger. I'm like, well, yeah, niggadd like trees. I go hunting, I go camping. I like being a dad. We couldn't do it. I got some like you know, infertility treatments. We had a baby girl. Hey listen, my son neuro divergent, he nonverbal, and you know what, he really loves me, and he was so overwhelmed that he couldn't hold back his tears because he love his daddy. That's beautiful. I'll beat your ass if you think any different, that's beautiful. You don't want your son to express emotions towards you, What is wrong with you? My son loves me. I love him. And if he gonna cry, hell yeah cry? What like? Men of emotions? What are you talking about again? They're just trying to present this the manhood they're trying to present. Okay, call me soft, I'll coach football. I'll truck through the let's okay, let's get on the line. Then I'm an O line coach. Brot, let's go again. This is not a recording as the defense for Tim Wallas. I'm just trying to tell you the narrative because it's still weird that they haven't solved this Palestinian thing, or at least won't just open their mouth and talk about it. But anyway, No, I'm not a veg she's a vegetarian. I'm not. I like, I can fix cars and it the fact that I can listen and let a woman lead doesn't mean my dick shrunk, Like, what is wrong with you? That's all? It's okay, she's smart, so let her do the job like you what you can't? Just that's weird, bro, that your masculinity is so frail that you think that I just can't. That's weird, homie. And you know what if that's how your house works. Okay, you say, how easy that was? Okay, it's fine. What like I can listen to authority, I can, like I and it don't. I can listen to experts. I can. I don't get it bro like weird. Again, this is their story, so it's just a narrative thing. So right now, the question is which one of these freaky ass niggas need to steady ass aside? Now with the debate happening this week, I'm recording this Monday, so I don't know what's gonna happen tomorrow on Tuesday, And I don't know when you listen to this, But here's where this theory is about to get played out. Now. This debate is between the vice presidents, and both of them have a lot to work with, as I've spoke on just now. But the penultimate weird though, that is just the gift that keeps on giving as far as I'm concerned, is Mark Robertson. Y'all, I the man that calls himself the black Nazi. Uh that Martin Luther King was a soy boy b bringing pizzas into the dog Old Poor and Shop because apparently the Internet don't exist. Uh, that nigga weird. I just like this now now look this this ain't no. That's that nigga weird, right if he running a play bruh, you Tim Wallas, that's all you gotta do is be like, what's up with your boy? My man Trump called him better than Martin Luther King. This nigga weird having a whole ass this like I don't know how else this d he a cartoon that like, listen, if you got niggas, say yo, look my homeboy. Darren Done, who is probably one of the most talented videographers. I mean, run this dude's catalog all the way back to like Penny Wise up to a wall Nation. But he'll shoot the Zach Brown shit like he'll shoot what He's one of the most talented video He shot the endling he shot the excellent video for me, Like he's one of the most talented and smart men I've ever met. We don't agree a lot of stuff politically, but I tell you what don't matter that that's like my dog one of the things that he said was this, He's like, if you're in the front of the line, you are still somewhat responsible for the weirdos in the back of the line because that's your line. He's like, I am Yes, I am a conservative. Right. He's very punk rock, like like the just the textbook jen X punk rock. He's that like right on brand, and he's like, dog, I am responsible. Like the weirdo in the back of my line is Mark Robinson, and I have to own that that's in my line. That's he's like, he's a he's a Christian, and he's like, I have to acknowledge because I am a Christian. Them niggas are weird. They in my line and they weird. I have to acknowledge it. The problem he right. The thing with Mark to me is like you gotta see the entire diaspora of black people saying, Okay, I think I said this before, like this saying I'm not black. OJ, my nigga, you think they love you? You really think this a play you could play? Did you think you could pull off all of your debauchery, my nigga? Because Trump ain't no better. You're still a nigga, don't you understand that, fam because all of a sudden, these white people are gonna have morals. All of a sudden, you you are a bridge too far. Trump can get away with it. Why because that's a white man. These people are racist. I don't understand what you don't understand. They not gonna stand for no foolishness from no black people. Because if you black is weird? Bruh weird? Tim mister Walls, if these walls could talk, you're my wonder walls. Nigga bring that up? Just be like, what's up with your man's in them? They're gonna argue about their service in military. They're gonna try to paint themselves as one of us is the most regular, and they are. Again, they all got a lot to work with, you know, but hey, fools be weird. It's really all that these campaigns are trying to give y'all who normal, who weird? Because that narrative tends to work.
