Tone and Style

• Characteristically irreverent, “unapologetically conservative,” brash, and heavy on off-the-cuff commentary.
• Frequent exaggerations and jokes (“blacktivities,” “soft gay people,” “watermelon felon,” etc.)
• Hopping between serious points (crime, justice, national identity) and light riffing (impressions, banter, pop culture).

For Listeners Who Missed the Episode

This episode is for fans of raucous, no-holds-barred conversation about sports, culture, and politics—the right-wing echo chamber in full swing. The show offers a window into how conservative commentators view recent headlines, blending jokes, genuine frustration with the left and mainstream media, cultural commentary, and personal anecdotes.

Key takeaways:

• The NBA Finals gave New York (and, alleged, the country) a classic sporting memory.
• Soccer/World Cup divides the panel and becomes a metaphor for perceived American “softness.”
• “Real America” is enthusiastically praised both by immigrant voices and ironically by the hosts, who bemoan cultural and racial decay in U.S. cities.
• The Metcalf case is unpacked as a microcosm of the country’s racial divide, with strong opinions on justice, accountability, and media framing.
• The show itself is marked by unpredictability—literally, as a power outage leaves the conversation in the dark, to be resumed later, never losing momentum.

Transcript

[A]

All right. Hello, everybody. Welcome to Thursday's edition of Thoughtcrime. This is 131. We're starting to get up there in the numbers, and we are joined today by myself, of course, Danny and Russ. Welcome, Danny and Russ. Tyler's gonna be joining us soon, but in the interest of keeping everything live and on the tracks, we're going. Tyler's in transit, so he'll be joining us in just a bit. We're starting today with sportsball. Sports ball. Lots of sports going on. Danny, you are the big sportsball fan. What. What sports are we watching right now?

[B]

All right, we got the NBA. Really? That's about it because, well, baseball. But I'm a Cubs fan. The Cubs are terrible right now. We got the NBA and baseball without football going on right now, It's a little rough. Soccer's not.

[A]

What about hockey?

[B]

I'm not that big of a. Hockey.

[A]

You got golf. Hockey, you got the French Open. You've got.

[B]

I stick to the main sports.

[A]

You got World Cup.

[B]

Now, soccer's not a real sport.

[C]

Soccer is not a real sport.

[B]

Thank you.

[A]

Danny's coming in hot. Coming in spicy. I disagree. I like the World Cup. I like cheering on Team America. I kind of don't care what the Forum is as long as we win curling at the Olympics. I'm freaking out about the American team winning. So, no, I'll be for my country.

[B]

But, like, I'm not gonna turn on a random. Like, Mexico's playing Iran. I'm like, no, I'm not care.

[A]

Not at all. All right. Okay. So you like basketball, Russ? What? Do you like baseball? I love baseball.

[B]

I like baseball. Basketball.

[A]

Okay, so you're like an all American.

[B]

Yeah, those three.

[A]

You're an all American youth. All right, so here we go. We got to talk about game through four. Game. Game four of the NBA finals. The question is, is it the best game for or is it the best NBA final game in history? At one point, the knicks were down 29 points. They came all the way back to win by one. There was, like, every single celebrity you can imagine that, like, connected to New York in any possible way. You've got T. Swift. She's got that New York song. You got Jerry Seinfeld. You got Ben Stiller. You got. Who else do we got? Black dude.

[C]

Timothy Chalamet was there.

[A]

Chalamet's a lifelong New York's fan.

[B]

I mean, many celebrities.

[C]

Jenner was there.

[A]

I think Jenner was there. Well, Jenner's warm in LA. Yeah, LA. Guy. Guy. Yeah. Let's Just be honest. Seinfeld.

[C]

Seinfeld was there.

[A]

No. Who's the black dude? The director. I keep forgetting the black dude.

[B]

Doesn't narrow it down for us. Okay.

[A]

For an NBA game, I was thinking Spike Lee. Fair enough. Oh, there's John McEnroe. Tennis. Oh, Larry David. There's a lot of people there. Anyways, it was all the celebrities, and it was an incredible game, as you can see from the B roll. So the Knicks comeback highlights in the fourth quarter. Is this the B roll that we're playing? The highlights?

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Fourth quarter.

[B]

That was such a stupid shot by Brunson. He got bailed out.

[A]

Well, that's. I think we should play it. Okay. Knicks winning basketball. This is the. Look at that, by the way. Everybody in the crowd was saying it was the most explosive Madison Square Garden has been. Now, to remind you, Madison Square Garden has not had a winning championship team since 1973. Kathy Hochul was wrong by saying the championship team of 1993. They did go to the finals in 93, but they did not win the championship. Let's go ahead and play the winning basket. Cut to. He might just get. Go flat for Jalen Brunson. Allow him to operate at the top. One on one. Brunson gets it, Fires up a three shot. No good. The tip. It's gone. It's gone. It's gone. With 1.2 remaining, Knicks take the lead. OG ana nobi. And it's 107, 106. Bedlam here at the Garden. They can't believe it. Bunch of ex NBA players. A lot of old Knicks were there. Listen, okay, here's what I'm gonna say. This is my actual thought. I don't care about the NBA basically, since Michael Jordan, okay? Like, I really don't. Me and Charlie shared this in common, but this was the highest rated NBA Finals game since Michael Jordan. And for that, I think it's kind of cool the. The world is a better place when, like, all three major US Sports are all thriving and doing well. So I'm okay with it. I'm good with it. I like this.

[C]

I think I gave up on specifically sports that I didn't care about once they started trying to make, like, statements, like political statements. Yeah, I mean, that's what. That's when I was like, I don't. I didn't like watching basketball in the beginning. I don't like. I'm not gonna watch it now. That's kind of my. Where my head goes with this.

[A]

This is why I love this, because it's just about the sport. It's just about the game. Nobody's talking about this game because, like, somebody took a knee for George Floyd or end racism in the end zone. This is literally just. It was a great basketball game.

[C]

Basketball game.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Yeah. This is the first good basketball game I think I've seen a long time. They've made the league soft, where it's just 3 and D. Just jack up shots, but.

[A]

All right. So unfortunately, if you show Stop five. The Knicks fans were committing chaos after

[C]

the game of thought crimes.

[A]

So you saw the celebrities, mostly white inside. This is their fans outside. Because, you know, it's not just enough to win the game. You have to go cause mayhem and get arrested. They'll all be released in 20 minutes.

[C]

I mean, I think.

[A]

I think this.

[C]

They know, oh, gosh, they had a free Palestine flag.

[A]

I think it just comes down. I just changed my mind. Screw this. General, I'm. I'm now officially rooting for San Antonio suspects. Dude, these poor police in New York City, you have a mayor that hates you. You have a citizenry that voted for a mayor who hates you, so they therefore kind of hate you too. There are a bunch of hoodlums. Look at this. There's like four white people in that whole crowd. Like, where did all the white people go?

[B]

We call it blacktivities.

[A]

All right, listen, New York's gonna freak out about this. I mean, good for New York. Listen. Okay, the other thing that's happening here, though, is the Daily Beast, which is a rag, obviously a left wing rag. Their. Their base. And Drudge put this on his front page. Of course, they're saying that the only game that the New York Knicks, The New York New York knicks had a 13 game winning streak. Then Trump goes to Madison Square Garden for game three. They lose.

[B]

They blamed it on him.

[A]

And then Taylor Swift comes through game four, and then they win in this dramatic fashion. So everybody's calling it the Trump curse. I would like to flip that on its head, however, because if Trump actually causes some pain and accountability for New York in general, I don't think that is a curse. I think that is like, justice.

[B]

Yeah, it's a good thing.

[A]

Yeah, it's a good thing. If Trump goes to the game and you lose, that's a good thing for you. Although I will say, I mean, admittedly, Trump's probably a Knicks fan, I'm assuming.

[B]

Yeah, yeah.

[A]

Do you believe in the curse of Taylor Swift or Trump?

[C]

Trump?

[B]

I'll get behind the Taylor Swift curse, though, if we can get one Started. Not a fan.

[A]

It's Taylor. Kelsey, I will tell you. Yeah, all right, all right. We're gonna transition now.

[B]

She's actually hosting her wedding, apparently at Madison Square Garden.

[A]

Taylor Swift.

[B]

That's what I saw.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Is that true?

[C]

I. I heard something about that too.

[B]

I can confirm that that's true. Yeah, it is true. Nothing says you're not a crazy person, like, hosting your wedding in a stadium.

[A]

What does that mean? Does that mean she's gonna be doing, like, who knows? Like a full on. Wait, like, for real? Like, is she gonna invite Michael?

[B]

You know about this?

[A]

40,000 fans.

[D]

I know nothing beyond the headlines, but

[A]

every reliable source and their mother has

[D]

confirmed that she is hosting her wedding.

[A]

Their msg.

[B]

Hosting your own wedding at Madison Square Garden is next level narcissism.

[A]

But, like, how many people are you gonna bring? Hold on. We've got to look this up.

[B]

20,000 people?

[A]

Yeah, maybe. Maybe the Internet knows. How many people is T. Swift inviting to her wedding at MSG? That is a very good question.

[B]

That's 22,000 people.

[A]

Okay. She's inviting around 1100 to 1200 guests, according to multiple reports that they're having their wedding at Madison Square Garden, but it's coming from TMZ. Okay. This fits MSG's banquet capacity around 1250. And it's about a million dollars a night to pay for Madison Square Garden for a rental.

[B]

Checks out.

[A]

Checks out. All right. Okay. Even though you disagree, I think. Okay, I'm probably gonna get a lot of hate from our audience here on this one. I actually think the World cup is a tremendous sporting event. What do you think? I know at this.

[B]

Yeah. For putting people to sleep.

[C]

Soccer's fake.

[B]

Thank you.

[C]

Soccer's fake. Like, they, they. They want to call it football because they want it to actually compare to football.

[A]

Okay.

[C]

And I don't even like. I don't even like football.

[A]

You barely use your foot, your feet with the ball. In football, there's kicking field goals. Football.

[B]

Football requires some type of actual manliness, like, and skill. Soccer is running touch.

[A]

I mean, listen, as soon as they

[B]

get touched, they fall over and expect the ref to bail them out with a colorful little gay card that sends somebody to side you. Half the games end in a tie. The whole sport's just ridiculous.

[A]

I mean, basketball, There's a lot of flops in basketball. You ever see. Yeah, but at least somebody chained.

[B]

At least somebody scores. In soccer, you're watching for an hour and a half. It's the same as watching a marathon. You're watching you're just watching guys run

[A]

up and down a field.

[B]

Nothing's ever even happening.

[C]

The same problem I have with football is the same problem I have with basketball.

[A]

If I want to go watch foreigners

[B]

run around, I'll head to the southern border. I don't need to watch the World Cup. Okay. Just saying.

[A]

It's true. By the way, you know what's funny? The Iranian team is staying in Mexico. They're only allowed to come into America the day before a match.

[C]

Amen.

[B]

Great.

[A]

I love it.

[D]

Amen.

[A]

Hallelujah. God bless America. And, yeah, there's much to do about that, because we did, by the way, did you see this? We kicked out a Somali referee because he was who all the live reporters were like, by all accounts is the best referee in Africa. Which I responded as going like, is that a good thing?

[B]

He only had ties to Al Qaeda, but other than that, that he was great.

[A]

Al Shabaab. So this is what's funny. So, like, after we boot him from the country and tell him he can't go. Come. Come in. He goes back to Somalia. He gets a hero's welcome in Somalia. I mean, they're freaking out. They're greeting him, putting a draping a Somali flag that looks like the Minnesota flag now over his shoulders. And then Al Shabaab comes out with a statement supporting him, defending him.

[C]

He got a hero's welcome because he did the one thing that most Somalians don't do, and that's go back to their country.

[A]

This is going well so far, guys.

[C]

There we go.

[B]

We have the B roll of him returning.

[A]

Show the heroes welcome for the one returning Somali of all time. He is the one that didn't flee.

[C]

Well, he fled, but then came back.

[A]

Yeah, he tried. He tried. No, but, you know, it's funny. If you watch the news reports of this guy, it's all about, like, he's the best referee in all of Africa. And I'm like, okay, I guess he won some award last year. Okay. But do they have him on, like, a ranked ranking somewhere that, like, these are the top 10 in this rank order? And is there, like, a scoring system or is this just a fun way to describe him so that you make Trump look racist?

[C]

Also, is this Somalia's only export?

[A]

What?

[B]

People with ties.

[A]

Football referees.

[B]

Yeah. And people with ties to terrorists.

[A]

Which is funny right now because I said, Trump's, like, bragging about stealing Iranian oil now. And I was like, he learned a thing or two from Ilhan Omar's people.

[C]

We need a. We need a Meme of Trump going, I'm the captain now.

[A]

That's going to end up on True social in just a few. Okay, I got to be honest with you. I'm stoked about World cup and I love the like cross cultural sports stuff. I do, I love, I love watching. Okay, here's why I like World Cup. Danny, you're wrong about this, okay? You can tell the nature of a culture based on the way they play soccer or football, whatever you want to call it. Yes, you can. The Germans, it's like, at least it used to be. Now the Germans are all like.

[B]

So if the French like never scored a goal in history then or.

[A]

No, their own goals. Yeah.

[B]

Only own goals.

[A]

No, no, no, no. So actually the French have won World Cups. I mean they have a really proud football tradition in France and a really good league. But. But it's increasingly more foreigners that play on their teams, so it's less so.

[C]

I mean they are good at running well.

[B]

Well also have you seen the French team? I don't think they're not very French.

[A]

No. That's what I mean. So it's less and less like this. But I mean 10 years ago it was like the Germans were very German and German precision, it worked its way out on the field. Like they held formation better than any other team and they won the World Cup. The Spanish, Spanish had that run where they were winning World Cups and Euro Cups and all stuff. They are the like a creative team. Like all the spice of a Latin culture. You would see it come out on the field. America, like we're kind of a hodgepodge of a bunch of different things. But it's not really our go to sport. What's now interesting though, I guess is because all the European teams are flooded with foreigners and they're all mixed up. Will that hold? That's a one. Question two. I think most of our starters play in like the Premier League. Now there's. They're Americans, they play in the Premier League or the German league or the, or the Italian league. So we've got a pretty good team. I'm actually stoked about it. But again, I understand everybody's gonna.

[C]

The only thing I enjoy football related is Ted Lasso.

[A]

You said football. See?

[C]

Yeah, well, you know what, you're welcome, Russ.

[B]

The mind virus is taking over.

[C]

It's true. I was just.

[A]

Okay, here's what I hate about like MLS and stuff like that in the United States. Every single freakin fan of this stuff is like a total lib. It's a. It's awful. I don't go to games because they're

[B]

not my favorite because it's a soft sport, so it breeds soft gay people.

[C]

I actually got paid.

[B]

If the sport has, like, no physicality to it, you're not gonna get any, like, manly people.

[A]

They're not all gay, Danny.

[C]

Actually, funny story. Randomly before I worked at. Worked here and everything, I actually. I don't know how they found my photography website, but Arsenal reached out, and I ended up getting paid by Arsenal to go shoot photos of their, like, fan club.

[A]

Really? Yeah.

[C]

Like, so, literally, I did you. And I had to wake up at, like, 5am to go to this pub because they were watching the finals.

[A]

Oh, right. Because.

[C]

And, yeah, it was. It was kind of cool. Like, I was like, all right. Got my photos printed in, like, a magazine and everything.

[A]

So we have some. Some. Some fun cultural interactions. Danny, even though you hate everything, apparently. Don't make me. Don't make me make some jokes.

[D]

It is.

[C]

It is fun to watch people that don't live in America come here and then find out a little bit of pieces of our culture.

[A]

Oh, do we have that tweet from earlier? The gal. What have I done?

[B]

We have it.

[A]

All right, here we go. So here's a Scottish man trying Mac and cheese for the first time. Sat 6. Look at that. Look at that. As a Scottish guy in America, here is a fact for you. Mac and cheese here in the States is better than uk.

[C]

Just a fact.

[A]

And I'm here at Mac'd Out. Macked Out. Oh, it's great to hear they cut it short.

[C]

Well, yeah.

[A]

Oh, well, that's too bad. So there's a tweet about Waffle House.

[B]

That's a good tweet.

[A]

Yeah, these tweets. Show me the Waffle House tweet. Number seven. I haven't seen this. What does it say? Just had our first Waffle house experience at 1am Great food, great prices, and friendly staff. 10 out of 10, we will be coming back. See, I like Waffle House. Wait, we have them here, don't we?

[C]

Yeah, yeah.

[B]

Half a mile down the road. Yeah.

[A]

Okay. I haven't been to it yet. This is number eight, Bass Pro Shops. This kind of reminds me when the Japanese American purged everybody's timelines for a little while. We found another. What is this surreal place? On our way. I know some people will say I'm too positive about everything I see, but this place was crazy. They had a shooting range in the store.

[C]

So good.

[A]

See, look at. People love.

[C]

So good.

[B]

People love that guy Freddy LA7. Like, his whole feed has been going, like, all over the country. He has, like, 20 different places he's gone to that he loves.

[A]

Like, in other countries, you go to their monuments, their statues, their museums. People come here and they're like Mac and cheese, Bass Pro Shops, and what do we got? Waffle House. And then, oh, this one. Number night. This was cracking me up. Danny, you read it.

[B]

So she goes, okay, I guess it was going to happen eventually. My first negative experience. Why is one item locked up, yet others items the same price aren't? And then the guy beneath what we were all.

[A]

I didn't include it. They didn't. It's fantastic.

[B]

They said what we were all thinking. Are you ready for that conversation?

[A]

Okay. This is a European, though.

[B]

This is a European. Yeah.

[A]

European makes the tweet. Why are they locking up.

[C]

She's Swedish.

[A]

Why are they locking up certain body washes and not the other body?

[B]

Are you ready for that conversation? Are you speed running? American immersion? It's the same reason that sunscreen and Father's Day cards aren't locked up. I didn't include that bottom part.

[A]

You read it. He set me up. I couldn't believe he did it.

[B]

But it's what we were all thinking.

[A]

Okay, the best part. You were thinking the best part is

[C]

to your point, later on, she comments, oh. Oh, no. What have I done? I didn't realize this was gonna blow up.

[A]

You could tell. She. She realized she had done something, like, viral by accident, and it was just an accident.

[B]

She's never seen the O block before.

[A]

Yeah. Anyways, so that's fun. What's this Joey Chestnut one?

[B]

This guy said, just realize. Just realize. The Europeans will be present to watch Joey Chestnut Inhale 84 Pork Pistols on live television in honor of our nation's independence.

[A]

I love it. I love it. If you're struggling with cravings, bloating, and stubborn weight gain, your gut health is probably playing a bigger role than you think. A damaged microbiome can affect everything from inflammation and digestion to cravings and weight gain. And with today's processed foods and environmental toxin, a lot of people's digestive health is taking a big, big, major hit. Which is why taking care of your gut health may be more important now than ever before. That's where a fermented food called kimchi can make a real difference. Kimchi is naturally rich in over 900 probiotic strains that help support gut bacteria. Because when your gut bacteria are properly supported, your body is better able to process food efficiently regulate cravings and support digestion, even maintain a healthier metabolism. Overall, studies show that eating kimchi can reduce your body fat by 31.8%. But supporting your gut microbiome takes consistency.

[B]

I have no. I mean, I'm a hater on it. I have no idea.

[A]

But how can you hate on this? Okay, so they're doing like 80 matches, 39 days. Okay.

[C]

But you don't need a tournament.

[B]

I don't hate on the concept. I hate on the sport.

[A]

So here are the key dates. Opening match is in today. June 11th. Mexico versus South Africa. Okay. And that's in Mexico City. So the American World cup has its opening match in Mexico City. Whoever planned this don't like it. Don't like, should have been here. Group stage, June 11 through June 27. So then you get to the round of 32. So what they do in the group is you get, I think, paired with four different teams and they take the top two teams.

[B]

Now, the real question is, do you think if we put some of our real athletes, like our football players and stuff like that on the soccer team, we'd be better? Like, if we trained our football players to play soccer for like a year or so, do you think we'd be a better player?

[A]

If America's top sport was soccer? Yeah, we would be, like, pretty dang dominant, I think, because of all of

[B]

all of our real athletes play the real sports.

[C]

So the final.

[B]

Baseball.

[C]

The final is at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.

[A]

Yeah, so. And that's not until July 19th. So it's not. Wait, you said how. Yeah. Okay, so it's 39 days. Yeah. It's the biggest World cup ever. With 48 teams and 104 matches across 16 host cities. The tournament is already underway as of today. So, yeah, I mean, there's going to be a number of games or matches because it's football. You got to call matches in Mexico and a few, like 10. And I think it's only like 10 and 10, to be honest. There's 10 in Mexico, 10 in Canada, and the rest are gonna be in the States. But it's like Chicago, Seattle, Louisiana, New York, North Carolina, I think has some. Florida has some. They're gonna be all over the place. So I think that's kind of cool. Anyways, you guys are haters. Up yours.

[E]

All right.

[A]

Baseball.

[D]

Truthers.

[A]

We're truthers. Okay, here's baseball. Okay, so baseball is my favorite sport, which does that make me? American enough. Okay. I grew up playing baseball. I was like three, and I remember, like, I played short third and pitcher. And then I. When I got into the All Star Game. All Star. I made All Stars recently. My coach, his son played shortstop, and I was a shortstop. And so then he moved me in the outfield and I made an error because I still, like, hold that grudge in the back. Anyways, I never played outfield. Yeah, no. And then I came back in and I got chewed out by that coach.

[C]

Yeah, of course.

[A]

And I was like, I don't play the outfield coach anyways, so. But you know who does play outfield? Our Congress Senator Eric Schmidt. Holy cow. This guy, he left it. He left it all out on the field, including some, like, skin on his

[C]

face, piece of his nose.

[A]

We gotta play it. Cut 12.

[D]

This is really a prime June night.

[A]

That one struck to left field and what a dive.

[D]

Oh, what a great,

[A]

amazing catch down the left field line. He covered a lot of ground. Got high on the horse there. And that was gonna be a fair ball, I think, there, Kevin. Yeah, I think so, too. And then he caught that on the heel of the glass glove face plant. Red Birds will be proud of a play like that. Worth every last replay. Look at the nose. Wow. And he. And he roughed himself up here a little bit. Okay, so, Eric Schmidt, great play. First of all, true. Mad respect. Mad respect. Mad respect for him making the play. He. It's Just so funny watching, like, professional baseball every night, basically, then watching, like, a normal human run across the field, and you just realize how much more athletic professional athletes are than everybody. And, like, listen, he made a great catch. He's a big Cardinals fan, which is, you know, whatever. He's got to do what he's got to do. Mr. Missouri there. But what's crazy, I texted him about this. I was like, way to, like, sacrifice your body for this. And he's like. He's like, dude, I was like, how's your nose? He's like, bloody. He's like, but it was worth it. And what's funny about this clip? Watch when he hits the ground, he stays there for a second. I think he's like. I think he's like, oh, God, what have I done?

[C]

But somebody needs to do the spray chalk.

[A]

And he over. He almost overran it too, because he. He caught it in the heel, which is just amazing. So apparently. I didn't know this, but the. They practice every day. I find this. Okay. We want the GOP beat the Dems for, like, the fifth year in a row. Beat them 11. 2. We have a way more stacked team. Like, they're old. They're like feminists. And they're. They're like girly men. We have actual men, so it doesn't surprise me. They're crushing them. But they practice every day. And I just want to remind you that, like, we can't get Congress to do anything every day. Now. This is not all 435 of them. I get it. This is just like the team. But come on, clip 11.

[D]

Look, they don't just hand these trophies away. You got to earn them.

[A]

We wake up at practice at six

[D]

in the morning every morning.

[A]

We're competitive people. We want to win.

[D]

We're on a streak. But we got to keep. We got to keep that intensity. You know, we got Stubby on the mound and ready to bring it.

[A]

We got a great team and, like,

[D]

same teams we both played with last year, but we're going to have about 38,000 people here in the big league ballpark. It doesn't get better than that. Raising over 3 million for local charities. It's.

[A]

It's a special night.

[C]

You know what else they don't just hand out? The Save America Act.

[B]

Yeah. Can we be competitive about winning for our country?

[A]

Practice every day to pass the Save America Act. With all due respect. Gosh, that is crazy.

[B]

And then like, yeah, every day at 6:00am it's like, okay, dude, how tone deaf do you have to be like.

[A]

I mean, the truth. Okay, let me just throw them a little bit of a bone here. There is a lot of people in Congress that would love to work every day. And, like, for whatever reason, the. Okay, maybe not a lot. There's the ones that come on our show, I will tell you. And they get so irritated about this crap, too, where it's like a week on, a week off. Oh, the Senate's in, but the House is out, and we can't make any progress until the House comes back. This stuff drives me insane. It used to drive Charlie insane, But, yes, the GOP did win 11 2. We'll play it. Clip 13. That one in foul territory. That should be it. And it is. What a great night, Chad. As the GOP streak extends to six.

[D]

Republicans keep the winning streak going here,

[A]

and the Democrats are still on the Schneide. Linda Sanchez still looking for her first

[D]

win as the Democratic skipper.

[A]

Still Linda Sanchez. Don't look for. I might have some advice for you there. Okay, so I don't know if you guys are noticing in the audience, this is a bit of a roundup. This is about a sports roundup. There's one other sport. Mikey. I keep calling you Mikey. Danny. Danny.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Do you like ufc?

[B]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[A]

Thankfully, we can. We can end on one, because it

[B]

actually is like, there's some.

[C]

He liked basketball.

[B]

I like basketball.

[A]

Baseball, football.

[C]

The only one you didn't agree on was.

[A]

Yeah, I like sports. You like telling me the songs. Sports going on. There's literally the French Open, which is a Grand Slam. It's the only. It's the clay court season. Come on. Roger Federer, Rafa Nadal, Pete Sampras.

[B]

I know who they are, but I don't watch.

[A]

I've heard of them.

[C]

Tennis really isn't a game you watch. It's more of a game you play.

[A]

Yeah, I don't know. People watch it, to be fair.

[C]

Yes, they definitely watch it, but it's a worldwide thing. They also watch it with their pinky ups.

[B]

Pickleball has taken over tennis, I have

[A]

to say, in the U.S. yeah, it is.

[B]

It's just easier to play

[A]

faster.

[B]

Yeah, way.

[A]

And you don't need as much skill.

[B]

That, too.

[A]

Yeah. So of course Americans love it. Yeah. Well, come on.

[C]

What Americans also love is men beating up other men.

[A]

Yes, it's true. It is pretty show. This. This is the UFC arena that has been constructed on the lawn of the White House. 14.

[C]

They put up a. Yeah, they put up a time lapse, which was really cool. So it's just them building the whole thing.

[A]

Wait, don't we have Jack? Didn't Jack, like, literally look like view this today? He got a tour at the White House. He said it's epic. It does look epic. So wait, does that mean it can survive rain? That looks like it has a covering because the people are worried about the rain.

[B]

Is it supposed to rain?

[A]

There could rain there. I thought this was gonna be, like, a tiny. That is sick. They should leave that up permanently.

[B]

That's what Trump was trolling him. Did you see the multiple times?

[A]

Why would you take that down? You should get multiple uses out of this.

[B]

Yeah, he said he wants to leave it up for a while.

[A]

That is so sick. Wow, they did a good job. Although they could have gone higher with the. The bowl, in my opinion, but it's still really freaking epic. I wonder how many people it holds. And by the way, the getting tickets to that is gonna be a hot ticket. Yeah, I didn't even try, but maybe I should have. Like, I. I bet I could have pulled some string somewhere. Maybe. But is Jack gonna go?

[C]

I don't know. I don't know.

[A]

I mean, if Jack can't get a ticket, then I can.

[B]

I know a guy that's working it. Like, help, like just setting up, like, event management guy.

[A]

That's pretty cool.

[C]

So this is Jack's video, I think.

[A]

Oh, is it? Dang, look at that. Yeah, that's pretty cool.

[C]

It's pretty rad being on the Be having the White House in the background is such a.

[A]

Such a. Look at it. It's perfectly framed. Sick visual.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Wait, so who. Who are the. Who are. Who's competing? I know. It's Michael Chandler is one of them.

[B]

Michael Chandler's the big one. Sean o' Malley's another one.

[A]

Oh, Sugar Sean. Yeah, Sugar Sean. I love usc, but I haven't been paying as much attention to this until.

[B]

Gay. She's one of them too.

[A]

Oh, dude. Have you ever watched him fight that?

[B]

I watched the last one against Patty the baddie.

[A]

If you want to see a. Oh, is he playing? Is he?

[B]

No, he fought Patty the baddie the last time he fought, I think, like a couple months ago.

[A]

Sugar Sean or Gaethje? Oh, did he?

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Who won?

[B]

Casey did.

[A]

Dude, he's so. I used to be like. Like every single pay per view and all this stuff last couple years, like, I haven't been paying as much attention. But it is a great sport. It's a masculine sport, and it's very savage. This is.

[C]

Yeah, I'VE been getting.

[A]

The left hates this stuff, by the way. But the, like, anybody with a brain loves it. They hate it because they hate warrior culture. Like, they hate warrior culture because it is an antithesis of everything the left is pushing, pushing, which is, like, beta males, like, lgbtq, I A, whatever. They hate this because, what, they're totally

[C]

fine with burning down cities and rioting after a game winner.

[A]

Yeah. But they hate. And by the way, Dana White. Do you know Dana White just signed a diplomacy deal with Marco Rubio? They're, you know, they're now using UFC to help with international diplomacy.

[C]

Nice.

[A]

Which I think is radio legitimate. You guys should pull some footage of Gaethje's face when he's done fighting him. And Michael Chandler, if you have, like, do yourself a favor, watch the Michael Chandler Justin Gaethje fight. It. It is the most savage. Like, at the end, they literally just stand there, like, face to face and, like, punch me. And then the other guy goes, punch me. And they just go back, like, for the final 20 seconds of the match.

[B]

What Sean O' Malley does to, like, the last minutes usually.

[A]

Sugar, Sean's awesome.

[B]

He's local. He trains and everything. Yeah.

[C]

Yeah. Sean o' Malley's kind of cool. I want to look up what the Kalshee odds for these fights are.

[A]

Wait, no. So give me team. I don't know if you can pull it. I want to know who's, like, the matches. I got it pulled up. No, give me a graphic for this so the audience can follow, because this is great. This is why we need to have one of the computers.

[B]

Yeah. Just hooked up.

[A]

Hooked up like we used to do it. Why are we not doing that anymore? Caboose. Just kidding.

[B]

Sorry.

[A]

Yeah. Why is it my Alex Perez? Why did you guys get the B roll of the UFC ring girls? It's not this kind of show.

[C]

No. Okay, wait, so what we were saying is 15.

[A]

Throw it. See what Russ did.

[B]

I mean, if we have it, we

[C]

might as well throw it. What we're showing is, like, the. It's very amer. It's festive. It's American festive. Also, the joke has been that, like, for ring girls, these are the most clothed.

[A]

That is the most clothes that I've ever seen in a ring girl. So I'm into it.

[C]

I picked it. I wanted the B roll because I thought it was whole. It's actually kind of wholesome.

[A]

This is great. I mean, that they are very clothed. They're clothed. This is very distinct from when Joe Biden would invite, like, Trannies onto the White House grounds. Burying fake. Yeah, and, like, flashing the camera.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Then they found cocaine at the White House. We better not see any darn cocaine at this White House. I will be very upset if the UFC ends up with some sort of. Okay, good for you, ufc. Tastefully done. Tastefully done. So what do you guys think?

[C]

I'm excited. I got to figure out. I got to look at.

[A]

Wait, do we have the graphic of who's fighting?

[C]

We should have the latest one.

[A]

Is it UFC 250?

[B]

Yeah, there it is.

[C]

UFC Freedom 250.

[A]

I love it. Okay, hold on.

[C]

We got Gang, Gaishi, o', Malley, Lewis.

[A]

Oh, Bo.

[B]

Nicol.

[A]

Wineland versus o'. Malley. Okay.

[C]

Chandler.

[A]

Yeah, but who. Oh, Nunez is. Oh, wait, no, this is. This is prelims. Okay, hold on, Garcia.

[B]

Pereira versus Gain in the heavyweight.

[A]

Who's the. I think it's gone. Gagne or whatever. Wait, ufc? See, this is.

[B]

I don't know many of their names. I just will tune in and watch it, but.

[C]

Yeah, me too.

[A]

Okay, hold on.

[E]

Actually.

[B]

Well, I don't like. I don't like watching when the women fight.

[C]

Case in point.

[B]

Not because. No, not because they're even bad. It's just like. It feels wrong.

[C]

Oh, yeah. Fair.

[B]

It's just uncomfortable.

[A]

So I'm still struggling to get the graphic. Where's the graphic? Because I want to. Can see it on the screen, but

[C]

it's in the chat.

[A]

All right, hold on. I want to, like. I'll tell you who's good here. Okay. Topuria. Yeah. Versus Gaethje. That's the. That's.

[C]

Who do you think?

[A]

Pereira versus Gagne. Ganya's the French dude. Yeah. That guy can slug. That's actually gonna be a good fight. The. The heavyweight. The interim heavyweight title bout is not.

[C]

Is not the bantamweight looks to. To win. I'm just looking at. I'm looking at Kelsey.

[A]

Oh, Matt. What's the odds on o'? Malley?

[C]

Let's see.

[A]

Oh, Lewis. Okay, you guys, the Rogan clip.

[B]

Yeah, yeah.

[A]

Where the. Well, where. He's.

[B]

He mentioned Trump, and he was like.

[A]

Yeah, but he's like. He said things I can't. I can't say out there. I just.

[C]

O' Malley has a 78% chance.

[A]

Nice. Yeah, because he's fighting a Canadian. It's a hobby. Which is a classic Canadian name. As we. As we do nowadays. Lewis and Hokut. Ruffy versus Chandler. I'm surprised. So that's the light. That's. Okay. Lightweight. About Chandler's lightweight. I thought it was a middleweight anyways. Yeah. This is a great card. This is a really good card. They put together a great card for this. So that's going to be June 14th, Sunday. Why is it on a Sunday?

[B]

I don't know, but it's at 5.

[C]

Chandler only has a 17 chance of winning.

[A]

Yeah, he hasn't been like winning fights lately. He's just fun to watch. Fair. All right.

[B]

Oh, cuz, the 14th. Kylie, just remind us, it's Trump's birthday. It's Sunday, so they're doing it that night. It's also National Flag Day.

[A]

Yeah, there you go.

[B]

In one thing.

[A]

Yeah, okay, fine.

[C]

Nice.

[A]

All right. It's Trump's birthday. I know, but like on Sunday I got like the Sunday scaries before work where I gotta like actually focus on, like I'll be distracted. But is this, is this playing on. This is playing on Paramount, right? Where, where do people watch? I, I, everybody should tune in for this and support to 250. That's what, that's my thoughts. I love this.

[C]

Paramount and cbs. So you can watch it on Paramount

[A]

plus or, or cbs. Yeah, this is great.

[B]

Yeah, yeah, everybody should watch it.

[A]

Look at this.

[C]

All right, I'm definitely gonna be tuning in.

[A]

I'm gonna be. I'll watch it. I'll watch it on Sunday night. That's a great card.

[B]

UFC is pretty sweet.

[A]

Yeah. If you could go back in time and buy oil before the world relied on it, would you? Of course you would. Anybody would. So why aren't you buying silver right now? The people who recognized oil early didn't just make money. They got ahead of one of the biggest economic shifts in history. And today, a similar opportunity is unfolding with silver. Silver is more than a precious metal. It's a critical resource used in solar panels, electric vehicles, defense systems, AI infrastructure, and the massive data centers powering that digital world. While demand keeps growing, it's still affordable enough that the average American can start accumulating it right now. That's why investors are turning to silver, to protect against inflation and to own one of the world's most important strategic resources. Don't be the person who looks back in 10 years and says, I saw it coming. I just didn't act. Visit Noble Gold investments.com Kirk and learn how easy it is to own physical silver. That's noblegold investments.com Kirk. Own the metal the future depends on. All right. Okay. So Danny, you are not a fan of the United States taking in refugees?

[B]

No, I'm all for immigration moratorium.

[A]

Okay, cut it all off. Well, what about this? What about this refugee? This is a South African refugee who loves America. And these clips are amazing.

[C]

They really are.

[A]

Cut 16.

[F]

Okay, you got to check this out. There is people walking everywhere. There are women walking alone with fancy handbags, jewelry on, glasses on. They're not being harassed, nothing. Then right here, you've got a park. Not a speck of litter, beautiful flowers, a bench that hasn't got someone raping someone on it. Clean and tidy. You got squirrels that haven't been eaten by savages. This place is freaking awesome. Look at this. Spotless, clean, safe. This is what it feels like to live in a first world country.

[E]

Look at this.

[A]

There's another bench.

[F]

And it's not vandalized and broken and destroyed. If that was South Africa, gosh, first of all, I wouldn't be able to walk through this Blumen park by myself holding a pair of glasses and a cell phone. We all know that. But then you get here and you're completely safe. Completely, completely safe. I mean, there's like, I say, there's women everywhere walking completely alone. This is unfathomable. So to any South African watching this video, I mean, I'm in awe of the United States of America. It is so, so beautiful. And it is so safe. Even safe for the squirrels, for goodness sakes. Ah, man, you can't make this up. This is too, too wonderful. All glory goes to God for preserving this wonderful country.

[C]

The biggest takeaways. Squirrels are safe, park benches are sick.

[B]

He hasn't run into. He hasn't run into the Springfield Haitians yet.

[A]

And I love that. He's like, there's women everywhere.

[C]

They're not afraid.

[A]

It is shocking. I mean, you know, the sad part is in the back of my mind, I'm going like, yeah, but there's so many parts of America where you.

[B]

Yeah, he hasn't made his way to

[A]

Southside Chicago yet or Baltimore or, you know, Memphis, which. It kind of just breaks your heart because you're like, like, I want to keep America this way. I'm glad. But it's like kind of this weird reminder that, hey, it's not all hope is not lost, right? And him giving fresh perspective to kind of see the beauty and all the blessings that we have in America is. Is like, it's good.

[C]

I mean, what's the. What's this? It's like the saying is like, the grass is always greener on the other side, right? And remember, like, if you remember when you were a kid, right, and all of a sudden you know, your brother was playing with a toy. All of a sudden, whatever toy you had in your hand, you were like, I don't want this, I want that. And so it's nice to see like someone else coming into this country and being like, wow, this country.

[A]

That's why I love the Waffle House, the Bass Pro Shop. Yeah.

[C]

It's just, it's just people like seeing our country and actually being like, oh wow, this is cool. Like we don't have that. And then it kind of gives us the opportunity to be like, oh yeah,

[A]

I will tell you like. So when I traveled around, I lived abroad for a while and I got to the point where I just wanted to be in America really, really bad. And I really haven't traveled abroad much since. I have no, no desire to. I just wanted to be in America and build here. He goes on Trump's So one other thing we should say about D.C. though. This is Trump's D.C. yeah.

[B]

This wasn't. Yeah.

[A]

You know, like this is definitely Trump's. And by the way, all that freaking garbage about the reflecting pool, the Washington Post is like, this is what he spent, he, you know, extra millions of dollars. The reflecting pool looks gorgeous. I actually want to go to D.C. just to see the reflection pool now.

[C]

It looks amazing.

[B]

Your capital is a reflection of your company, of your country.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

So why wouldn't we want it to make. Want it to look like as good as possible. That's what I don't understand. They're okay with all of this other fraud, all of this endless spending, illegal

[A]

immigration, Medicare, billion on the Department of. Was it.

[B]

Yeah, they're fine with that. But then they. You spend money on making your own country and your capital look good and they suddenly have a problem with it.

[A]

Yeah. And it was a bunch of just like red blooded Americans because deep down

[B]

they want to see obviously the country destroyed. They want to see it a.

[C]

Hell, my feed is so nerdy that people are sharing the clip of Captain America when he does the. On your left and he's running around the reflective pool and they're like, can we just reshoot this now with the new. Because it kind of looks, it looks dirty.

[A]

It's the reflecting pool.

[C]

The reflecting pool.

[A]

Yeah. Yeah. The side by sides are just crazy

[C]

how different it is.

[A]

Yeah. It's the Washington. Okay. This is great. They have like time lapse of it. The reflecting pool is amazing. It's an amazing thing. They relined it.

[C]

I still have yet to get to dc. That's one of the biggest things that I want to go see. And I also want to go see the.

[A]

You haven't been to D.C. i have not, Russ.

[C]

I want to go to the Iwo Jima Memorial. That's because that was the thing.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

Because that was the thing that got me hooked on.

[A]

I've literally been to D.C. probably, like, 150 times. Nope. Like, over the years.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

I just. I don't know. Maybe. Maybe less, but I've been. I've been to D.C. so many times.

[B]

You're not missing much, too.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

But.

[C]

Yeah, like, when I lived in New York for a semester, I wanted.

[A]

I kind of hate go down there, but, you know, I kind of hate going to DC But I love going to the monuments. Yeah. I love.

[C]

That's the only reason I want to go. I just want to go check out the monuments and leave.

[A]

Yeah, the Smithsonian, all that stuff. It's actually legit. It is legit. Okay. He goes on Trump's America. God is good.

[C]

17.

[A]

17.

[F]

Just look at this. You can't make this up. This is really Trump's America. You've got people singing beautiful Christian hymns. You've got this lovely gentleman just praising the Lord Jesus Christ. This is truly, truly awesome. Look at this. This is Trump's America, ladies and gentlemen. He knows, and we know who our savior is. I am in awe. I am overwhelmed with passion and love. The joys.

[A]

Yeah.

[F]

Look at this.

[A]

This Little out of mind.

[F]

I'm gonna let it shine. Let it shine, let it shine. Let it shine. Man, you can't make this up. This is gorgeous, man. Praise the Lord God Almighty. Praise him with all your heart. Believe in him like a child. Shout, shout, shout. Oh, man, look at this.

[A]

Wow.

[F]

God, you are so good. Thank you for so many blessings. Thank you for everything that you have done for us, man. This is awesome.

[A]

That's so good. It's just.

[C]

He also is so sincere, and I think that's what, like, it's just so cool to see.

[A]

Well, if you lived in South Africa and you were literally, a whole political party was like, kill the boars. I was reminded of that, actually, because we were trying to find that clip of Charlie at Oxford, and he called out one of the Oxford professors, remember at the end there?

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

When he did his closing remarks, and he's like, kill the boys. Oh, you never heard of that? You never heard that? A whole political party is literally, kill the white people. Kill the white person.

[B]

The President was in the Oval Office with Trump, and Trump, like, made them shut off the lights and play the video. Do you remember that?

[A]

Yeah, I do.

[B]

Chanting, kill the boar. And the guy's face, like you could tell, cuz he was denying it was real.

[A]

And then, and then they tried to explain it away. Everything's fine. It's just an expression or whatever he goes on. I, I just love playing this guy's clip. So we're going to play one more clip. 18.

[F]

Okay. I am just walking around randomly. No idea what's ahead of me. But I got to show you these houses and these places. Gosh. No 10 foot fences. No rabid people trying to burgle, rape and murder the citizens in Washington. My goodness, look. This is. Wow, look at this. They really used to build beautiful buildings.

[A]

Look at that.

[F]

That would be a death trap in South Africa. Imagine walking through there in the middle of the day or the middle of night. I can also basically guarantee you'd have your throat slit in South Africa, but not yet. This is the land of the free, ladies and gentlemen.

[A]

You know, my big takeaway from this. Yeah. Is, you know, we talk about what freedom is. Right. We have a lot of laws, we have fisa, we have, we have stuff that makes us not so free. Okay. And we're not as free as we once were. And that's a problem. We need to work on it. What's interesting though is that what you realize is what freedom really is is being able to walk out on the streets and not get like mugs. True. That's to go where you want in freedom and peace and safety. That's ultimately the most foundational element of freedom, is that.

[B]

Which is why the left is so against us cleaning up the cities too. They don't want us to have freedom.

[A]

No, the left is against us cleaning up the cities because they want to just destroy.

[B]

And they want to rule over the.

[A]

They want like dependent underclass citizens that will continue voting for them. Look at la.

[B]

Yeah. And the best way to do that is just let crime run rampant.

[A]

Yeah, Just let it get. Let people deal with their own fecal matter in the streets. And it's true. All right, since we're talking about crime, we got to hit this. I actually had Sarah Fields on the show, who is the person that is interviewing Jeff Metcalf. Jet Metcalf is of course the father of Austin Metcalf, who was killed by Carmelo Anthony. Not to be confused with the NBA player Carmelo Anthony.

[B]

Spelled different.

[A]

Spelled different. The NBA is with a C. Okay. So there's a couple, there's a couple things we should talk about here. Tough to know where to start the. So Jeff. Jeff Metcalf, actually, I remember he started off very soft when this happened. He was. He's a very devout Christian man. People don't know this. I've heard this through mutual people, mutual acquaintances that we. That we know. And I think this. Losing his son has completely broken him in a. A way. And he said that in his victim statement. He said that he will never be the same that the man I was. You. You took from me too, when you killed my son. He said, you can. You. You can't look me in the eye, but you can kill my effing son. I mean, it's really heartbreaking. And in the midst of this, the, you know, the family has been smeared as racists and all this stuff. Remember, Jeff Metcalf went to the original press conference and got ran out by the family because he was trying to say, we can't let this thing turn into a race war. He was trying to, you know, forgive in a beautiful way. And the family shoot him away. And it is what it is. So he's been smeared as a racist. He's had people tell. Tell him and his family, like your. Your other son, the twin should have. Houston should have died, too.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Even though Houston wasn't involved at all. He happened to be under the tent that day, but he wasn't involved in the altercation at all. And so now he's been smeared as a racist. This whole thing, this whole time, he's been smeared as a racist. And he's so upset about it that he went viral for using a funny expression. But it was out of context. Everybody's now I. To his, you know, to defend him. I don't think it was probably the most helpful thing to say, but I understood what he was. He was saying. So let's. We'll work up to that clip. Let's play. Let's play cut 20.

[E]

He's. Or he's a great guy. He'll give you the shirt off his back. So they both can be right. Because I give what you get or what you give to me, I give you back. So am I racist? Yeah, I'm racist against holes. I don't like them. I could care less about the color of your skin. We all bleed the same color.

[A]

This is a man who has been smeared as racist. And he went so far out of his way to the point of, like, I might have been critical of how far out of his way he went to sort of say it's not about race, when like, you know, probably something was about race, actually. Like, it was. Right. Because at least the way it's been handled in the aftermath, everybody on the. On the Carmelo Anthony side has been like, well, you're a black boy. You got no justice in this country, or at least in this county, if you're black. And, I mean, I couldn't disagree more with that. He had it. He. He was unprovoked. If he would have just walked away, it would have been fine. Why did he have the. The knife in there in his bag to begin with? Why was he already reaching in his bag? Right. Why didn't he just hold the knife out to warn that he could stab them and to back off? No, he literally. It was so quick. Even Sock coming.

[C]

He could have just backed off.

[A]

Well, that was what's so interesting.

[C]

That's kind of the biggest thing is, like, you know, something that my dad always said whenever I got into a fight with my brother was, can. Can you change it, what he does?

[A]

No. Okay.

[C]

So the only person you can change is you. The Bible says the same thing. Like, we have to be accountable for our own actions. So be accountable for your own actions. Like, just. Just walk away. Like, if you're. If you're in that scenario, just walk away. Like, it's. It's on you. It's on every. It's on each person to act there individually, you know?

[A]

Yeah. Like, I mean, so I'm getting the Cardi B clip. We gotta play this because now we're talking about this. So Cardi b went on Twitter and X and starts spouting off. And then she basically said, I have to tell my son if he gets into an altercation with the. With a white kid. Yeah, it's 24. We'll play it. Is it loaded?

[C]

I think it just got pulled right now, so.

[A]

Okay, so this is just bananas because it's so stupid what she's saying, but if you think about it, it's actually the correct thing to say. So it's hard to explain until we have it. It's loaded. Okay. 37.

[B]

I sure learned something from this.

[A]

I learned to tell my sons, if a white boy. Do not argue with no white boys, because, baby, Ain't no law protecting you if something goes down with them.

[B]

That's what I learned from this case.

[A]

I'mma tell my sons, you arguing with a white boy walk the away because the law don't protect you. Well, that's insane.

[B]

The law doesn't protect you from murdering other people.

[A]

Yeah, exactly. But what's funny is the takeaway for her, her big. Her big revelation is you can walk away.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Just walk away. Which is actually smart. Had he done this, Carmelo Anthony would still be. Unless he stabbed somebody else would still be walking as a free young man.

[C]

I don't know what it is about society right now, but society has decided to learn the main lesson from everything is that ego is the way to go. And yet then get proved time and time again that ego is not the way to go. Like, walk away. Yes. CARDI B's right.

[A]

That's why justice, in this instance, actual conviction, 35 year prison sentence, which, by the way, I don't know why. It's not life.

[C]

It should be life.

[A]

30, 35. Getting off.

[B]

He's gonna be 15.

[A]

Yeah, maybe like 10.

[C]

He's getting off easy.

[A]

So the point is. But that is the right takeaway. Okay? When you actually administer justice and you find somebody guilty for a heinous crime, that he's a monster. He killed a young man that should be alive. Then guess what? People like Cardi B is, I'm gonna tell my son just to walk away. That's what happens when you actually don't let thugs off for murdering young people that are innocent. Who.

[C]

Who would have thought Cardi B would be the spokesperson for just being a normal citizen of society?

[A]

She doesn't get any credit.

[B]

She just learned it did.

[C]

Yeah. Learned.

[A]

All right, I'm gonna.

[B]

I'm gonna interject here. Don't forget that Cardi B has admitted to drugging and robbing men in the past.

[A]

So she's not a stripper.

[B]

I'm not sure about her former career, but, yeah, she's not arguing for following the law.

[D]

She's arguing against consequences.

[A]

Yeah, true.

[C]

Yeah, that's fine.

[A]

Exactly.

[B]

Yeah, well, I'm just. Never mind.

[A]

You need to.

[C]

Yeah, I'm just gonna sip my Kool Aid.

[A]

Good conversation is about respect. It's how we create a space where people are able to share their ideas and be heard. Charlie knew that. Turning Point still knows that. And Tik Tok has always strived to build the kind of place that thrives on respectful connection, where curiosity fuels connection, and we can share what's on our minds and learn from each other. When ideas meet respect, good things happen. On TikTok, you can find a mechanic explaining the why behind a problem most of us wouldn't even know how to name. Or a father sharing a lifetime of knowledge with his viewers. Viewers who listen, discuss, and then they respond. TikTok turns connection into community through small acts of understanding. You can Feel it in the comments, in the thank you from a stranger halfway across the world. TikTok is a place where respect opens the door for discussion, and discussion helps us build something real. And we're back. We had a brief, brief moment. Namely, what about, like, 12 hours, 16 hours.

[B]

Yeah, about. About that.

[A]

Yeah. So we started. We got about 56 minutes into our episode, and then everything went dark. The entire studio, the entire block. There was no power. And we weren't gonna get power back on for, what, like, another three hours? So we just decided to try again today. And, Mikey, you showed up randomly.

[D]

I ran in during the darkness.

[A]

When the lights came back on, Mikey McCoy was back in because he just. He loved the top. I told him the topic. Watermelon fell, and we hadn't gotten. Play the clip. All right, so let me just reset the table, though, here. Okay? Austin Metcalfe's dad, Jeff Metcalf, poor guy, starts the whole. His son gets killed, brutally stabbed to death for no reason at all. He tries to reach out and say, this isn't about race. He wanted to, like, make amends with Carmelo Anthony's parents. Doesn't go well. Does not go well. And he's been called a racist the whole time, Mikey. And he's been, like, from the jump. This isn't about race. This isn't about race. This isn't about race. And so finally, he's been pushed to his limit. And in an interview, he said this. Let's start with cut 20.

[E]

He's an OR. He's the greatest guy. He'll give you the shirt off his back. So they both can be right. Because I give what you get, or what you give to me, I'll give you back. So am I racist? Yeah, I'm racist against. I don't like them. I could care less about the color of your skin. We all bleed the same color.

[A]

Yeah. And so he's like, you've been calling me a racist for so long. Fine, I'll just do what you think I am. Like, what? You want to see me be racist? Here we go. We can debate the how wise this was, but it's been taken out of context. See, they're saying, look, See, he is racist. That's not what he's saying here, folks. Cut 19.

[E]

Y' all can make. Let me make something racist up so y' all can go viral. I got a new name for Mellow, Okay? He was such a little boy y' all were trying to portray. How about Watermelon Felon? How's that one Strike you.

[B]

That's a good one.

[C]

Strikes me.

[A]

Well, I've never heard that one before. I've never heard it. Listen, okay, he's not saying this because he's actually a racist. He's saying you've called me this name, that you've heard this accusation. We saw this with Charlie all the time. Everybody's like, you're a racist. And be like, what have I said that's racist? What have I said? So he's saying, fine, why don't I just say something? Because I'm guilty already. Why don't you? And he's pissed. He's upset. This man, this. This family, and namely the son. But the parents have been awful after this. Absolutely awful. He's saying, fine, I'll just be what you already claim I am. What do you think, Mikey?

[D]

Well, first off, I think it would be great. Like, the guy's son's dead and they're somehow trying to blame him, making him seem like a racist, making themselves into the victim. This is just something you kind of see with the demographics sometimes. Second off, it's like, yeah, I know. I like it's true. Yeah, you know, it's true. Like, the guy's son's dead. He was stabbed. Somehow Carmelo Anthony is supposed to be, you know, the victim here.

[A]

I can't stand.

[D]

They're showing, like, collages of his. Him as a kid and him with Shaq and, like, him growing up and him in the car. Like, he killed a kid. He killed somebody else at a track

[A]

meet for no reason.

[D]

For absolutely no reason. And somehow you're the victim because the kid's dad is upset and called you a watermelon felon, which, by the way, you are.

[A]

Yeah, but he didn't do this, like, at any time. He's is. The gag order has been lifted. He's able to talk out and he's. He's really upset. But, like, listen to. He expresses a lot of wisdom when he's. I mean, this. That was like, obviously the viral moment. He even said, I know this is going to go viral. Listen, what he says about Charlie. Clip 21.

[E]

This was never about race. Please don't make it about race and don't politicize it. And what did you do? You chose both the race card. Black fatigue. It's real. I'm sorry. You have embarrassed your own culture and race. Don't get me wrong, we got a lot of people that embarrass the out of me, too. But you guys, you got a patent on that, and the Only people that's going to change it are. You don't blame the white person because we can't change it, but you're gonna blame the white person for everything else. We're the bad ones. We're the one that held you down. Guess what? You can do everything in America that I can do. Tell me one thing you can't do that I can't do. We all have equal rights. What's it say? All men are created equal. The First Amendment protects free speech. I'm for it. Free speech doesn't guarantee you safety. Perfect example. Charlie Kirk, a man who I admired, looked up to know why? Because he could fight with words and logic. He didn't need fist guns or knives. No, he sat down and talked with you. How do you solve any situation when there's a problem? Communication. Charlie was an expert. That's one person I admit I would not want to debate. He was a walking chat. GPT.

[A]

So good.

[D]

No, the black fatigue thing, like, they make it a real thing and then they complain when you call it what they've made it. Like, if you saw outside of the courthouse when the ruling was happening, there's this, like, white guy that's just kind of standing still and being like a normal.

[B]

Like, let's just say they're not beating the stereotypes.

[A]

Okay.

[E]

No.

[D]

And then you have these, like, black

[A]

guys, like, jumping in front of them and they're like, oh, I saw. Like, we should pull that clip.

[D]

Yeah, he's like, jumping in front of this white guy. He's like, like screaming in his face.

[A]

And it's.

[B]

They're not sending their best.

[A]

What are you doing? Yeah, well, and this. I will say this. Hold on. You know this actually because in our thought crime chat, like, a couple mornings ago, maybe, maybe you guys also. I was sent. I sent like, a series of black people that were actually behaving really well that were making good points. They. They were Christians and they were talking about, this is accountability. This is actually what happens when you break the law, when you murder somebody. Because again, not all of them, because

[C]

again, he stabbed someone, he killed someone, but again, he's the victim now.

[A]

This whole victim shifting, blame shifting. No.

[C]

Just because he's black.

[A]

Just because he's black.

[D]

Also, by the way, there's like, they've deteriorated what it means to be like a normal member of society. I saw these videos the other day where it's just like a simple phrase and it's like complex words and it's. They go up to random black people in, like, the Hood. And they'll be like, can you read this sentence? And it's like Sally was perplexed by the things in front of her that she decided to make a very difficult decision. And they're like, salad poppy blue. Sally make a hard choice. And it's like they, they. They like their education systems messed up. And so for them, Democrats want to

[B]

keep them in bad cultural problem. I mean, 40% of all abortions are done by black women.

[D]

Exactly. No, no, this is.

[A]

This is a, like, crazy stat where it's a. New York City are going to get shot.

[B]

Okay, yeah, this is a real stat because I got this for Charlie, for the binder, and I. Everything. One in every 22 black men will commit murder at some point in their life. One in every 22. That's over 4%, by the way. So when you see a black man walking down the street, one out of every 22 of them will murder somebody in their lifetime, not commit a crime.

[A]

Murder.

[D]

That's.

[B]

That's from the FBI themselves, by the way.

[A]

This plays into the earlier part of the podcast where we're showing that South African guy who's just like, this is amazing. This. There's nobody's getting raped on this bench. It's not destroyed.

[C]

Well, and this is what.

[B]

There are certain people not in that video. That's why I was able to say

[C]

that this is what happens when you glorify gang culture.

[A]

No.

[C]

Like, when your entire race glorifies gay culture.

[B]

Well, yeah, when you celebrate and your idols are. All these rappers talk about doing all this stuff. This is what happens when the moms, 40% of all abortions are. They're killing their own children. You're not setting a good standard here.

[D]

Well, to my point, on, like, them not even being able to use words. They can't articulate things.

[A]

They can't even read a sentence. I just want to be very careful here. We're talking about kind of like hood culture, like, low. I just want to make it very clear, because I'm telling you, I've seen a lot of black people that have come out on the right side. There's a dad that has five black kids who is, like, replying back to Cardi B. You know, you don't know what to tell your kids. Here's what you tell your kids. You don't murder people. So, like, we're talking about that four

[B]

and a half percent that are the ones from the FBI staff that will

[A]

murder somebody thought crime is way higher than.

[B]

Well, if you take in the fact that 50% of murders in Chicago and all these cities go unsolved. The real percentage is probably one in every 15 or 16. That's the real thought crime. So we're talking about that group of about 8 to 9% of them.

[A]

So. But I used to have this. I lived in Venice beach when I was in LA for a bit, and there was a. I used to go play basketball at the park there, at park called Oakwood Park. And every year. Venice used to be way predominantly African American. And over time, gentrification, they moved out, but they would have this block party, and they would all come back for the block party. So one day a year, the entire park would be filled with very, like, hood energy. And they had the cars that were going like this and like, big music, a big barbecue. Every year, every year, the. The ghetto birds, as we call them, the police helicopters would end up coming, there'd be a fight. It would spill into the streets. All of us knew to, like. You know, most of those in Venice, like, usually have like a gate on the apartment complex or something like that. I was playing basketball, though, early in the day before the barbecues got really going, you know, and I shoot a ball, miss it, bricks, and it goes, rolls over. And this little black kid couldn't have been older than like, five, six, seven years old. Something like this grabs it. It says, cracker. That's my. But that's my ball right now. That's my ball. Cracker. And like. And he started swearing at me, hurling the F word at me. And I'm. I just remember, like, it was kind of this, like, aha moment where I was like, whatever culture. This kid, this poor kid, honestly, poor kid. He was a little, you know, he was a punk, but somebody raised him to be that way. A whole culture came around and raised him that way. And it was, like, shocking to me.

[B]

Well, and you said if you. Really. The thought crime also is the fact that the Democrats and political establishment have pandered to blacks for so many years that this is what happens. They think that there is no accountability

[A]

because they're able to get away with their victimized victim.

[B]

When you're the constant victim. Yeah, you're able to do whatever you want, really, with no accountability. And that's what's happened. Because Democrats and even a lot of Republicans have pandered to them for years and years and years with nothing happening.

[D]

But, like, look, they can't use words, they can't articulate things. And so when they are in a situation where emotions are high, intentions are Tight. And they have like, some white kid, like Austin Metcalfe, like, call them an insult or whatever happened.

[A]

Right. He told. Leave. He told him to leave.

[D]

He's upset. He wants to do something. He. He cannot use words because he was not given the proper articulate, like, words to use. And so what he does is he's just like, I'm just gonna stab his ass. Like, he just. He pulls out a knife. He pulls out a gun. Look. And by the way, I said they. I don't mean all black people. We have some great black people.

[A]

Like this one. Yep. He's the. He's the goat.

[D]

We need more Clarence Thomases.

[A]

Yes, sir.

[D]

Unless Carmelo's.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And more Clarence parents.

[D]

Oh, yeah. They're the worst.

[A]

His parents. Thank you. Look at this. This we have. Amen to that, by the way. And Charlie loved Clarence Thomas. This, all this reminds me of, like, by the way, like, how we're having to be all careful with our words of, like, the black pilot thing. I think we all have, like, PTSD from that. Which, by the way, was completely like the most logical set of thoughts strung together. But if you clip out just that one part, you make Charlie look like a racist. No, he was replying to by the way, Jasmine Crockett just referenced this this week in the SBLC hearing.

[D]

She's awful.

[A]

She's awful. She's making a fool here on this Carmelo thing, too. But here's. Here's what's crazy. You have a CEO, a white man that we were attacking. Actually, we were attacking the white CEO of United who was saying our next pilot class is going to be 50. 50. 50% minority and I think female.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

And 50% white. Male. For whatever reason, about 90 to 93% of new pilots tend to be white. I don't know why that is. Maybe white people just like to be pilots. Maybe it's the movies we watch, maybe it's the books we read. Maybe we. I don't know what it is. We just. There's a. White men like to fly. So if you're going to tell me that you're going to go from 50 from like. I think United was already the most diverse pilot corps, so they were about like 85, 15, approximately. So if you're going to go from 85, 15 to 50, 50 in a. In a single year and just mandate a quota, how are you going to guarantee that standards stay high, that. That safety precautions are going to be met, that the pilots are going to be just as qualified? I don't think you can air traffic controllers.

[B]

And then there are all these accidents, last couple of years.

[A]

No. And the problem with air traffic controllers is if you get a bad black female, just as a. Use that as an example, that that sucks at her job, they couldn't fire her. So what they started doing is they couldn't fire her out of the industry. So they would offload her onto, like, a different airport. And then that airport gets the problem. So you can't fire them because everybody's scared of being called a racist.

[D]

And they're a protected class.

[A]

That's what a protected class is. So Charlie's point goes, if you mandate a quota and then I see a black pilot, I'm going to say, boy, I hope you're qualified. It all made sense. And sorry if I keep harping on this. I know we've rebutted this on the show before, but it's like, how many times you got to do it? Charlie was saying, I don't do that now. That's not who I am. I don't want to think this way, but if you force quotas into the airline industry, I'm going to start asking questions.

[D]

So true.

[A]

Anyway, so. And we're having to, like, play, you know. So true.

[B]

We're talking about that four to five maybe if we take real numbers into account, around 10%. We're talking about that group.

[A]

[D]

can we also talk about Carmelo's parents? Like buying a house and like a nice car. And they're like, carmelo deserve justice. But they're like moving into the whitest neighborhood they can find and they're stealing all the GoFundMe.

[A]

I think we have some of this

[D]

you guys are doing yourselves.

[A]

No, they're making. They're making fools of themselves. By the way. Like, I think we have this SOT 36, if you have it. Do you have it? Okay, so here, do you guys have

[D]

the clip of the black guy jumping in front of the white person?

[B]

Yeah, it's 39.

[C]

The judge as well in this case that it was not a case about race.

[A]

But you cannot deny overdoing it.

[D]

No, I was.

[A]

Facts of the case.

[C]

And what we've seen play out since then and what we're watch happening now

[A]

is because the defendant is black, the

[C]

victim is white, and that's the bottom line. But again, this is what I alluded

[A]

to when I said this has brought

[C]

out what's bubbling right beneath the surface.

[A]

Wow.

[D]

I'm telling you. No, this is what I'm saying, guys, like, those were the people outside of the courthouse. Meanwhile, the white people outside the courthouse. He's just like staring at him.

[A]

Listen, there are, to Jeff Metcalf's point, there are plenty of white people that embarrass the hell out of me. But his line where he goes, Eric Swalwell, you guys got the patent on that. That was a pretty good line because he's right, man. This case was so cut and dry.

[B]

But wasn't you that I was talking about the other day, the new line is going to be like, what are you do, going to stab me?

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

He was like, next time you're in an argument with one of them or something happens, you just. Russ and I were talking about, it's just gonna be like, what are you gonna stab me next? Like this.

[D]

But like, you shouldn't even say that because they might.

[B]

Well, no, but we were just talking about it like it's a general thing because someone on Twitter was commenting, talking about that Carmelo was. And this guy replied to him is like, what, are you gonna stab me now?

[D]

It's pretty funny, but, like, guys, what kind of name is Carmelo?

[A]

No, with Carmelo Anthony, it's like basketball player.

[B]

Yeah, but this one's spelled with a K, though.

[A]

Yeah. All right, here's. Here's. Here's the clip I was waiting for. Cup 40.

[C]

What stuck out to me, number one was the all white jerk. But I was trying to be, you know, like, it's not that big of a deal. I mean, the truth is on our side.

[A]

The truth was not on your side. The truth. No, on your side. This is the truth. Killed Austin Metcalf. Your son is lucky to get a 35 year sentence. He gave a life sentence.

[C]

Should have been life.

[D]

Should have been live.

[A]

He's gonna get let out in, like, 10 years, guys. Yeah, that's the bottom line. I mean.

[B]

I mean, would we honestly write a book?

[A]

Yeah, he's gonna write a book.

[B]

Are we honestly surprised if in 20 years we see a story that he got in trouble with the law again in some way?

[D]

The Metcalf family, by the way.

[B]

Something. He's gonna do something.

[A]

Oh, we have. We have CK on. Oh, Kendrick Lamar or Clarence. Time. Oh, that's a good one, Noah. Good pool. Oh, we got to play this 41. Yeah, once it's loaded. Yeah, no, we know. Caboose. Are we getting this right? Let's see that producer cam, that studio cam. Caboose.

[D]

Camera down.

[A]

Should have been ready. Should have been ready. Caboose. Okay, hold on. All right, let's play it. Oh, it's loaded.41. Let's do it.

[E]

Say there's a black kid right now. Would you rather have that black kid have a role model be Kendrick Lamar or Clarence Thomas?

[A]

Kendrick, obviously.

[E]

So not the. Not the black American on the United States Supreme Court.

[A]

No, he's.

[B]

He's trying to ban interracial marriage. He's trying to, like, do all.

[E]

Wow. He's. He's in an interracial marriage. He literally, like, he's married to a white woman.

[B]

Yeah, I know the Roe v. Wade thing, like, goes against.

[E]

He's trying to ban his own marriage.

[A]

Yes, I thought I heard.

[B]

I'm sorry to break it to you,

[A]

but, like, rode hold.

[E]

So just be clear. So. And that's fine. This is a difference in worldview. We have clarity but not agreement. You'd rather have Kendrick Lamar, who sleeps around with everything that moves, who is

[A]

a Poet who won a Nobel Prize. Who. Right.

[B]

No, no.

[E]

Versus Clarence Thomas, who grew up in the antebellum south, who's a U.S. supreme Court justice, one of the smartest people ever to serve on the Supreme Court as a black American. And that. That's the difference is that we as conservatives think that Clarence Thomas is a far better role model for black America than just some.

[A]

Some rapper.

[D]

All right, Andrew, Andrew, would you rather have your children have a role model? Ted Bundy or Donald Trump?

[A]

Like, that's what he was asking. By the way, I will say there's worse rappers than Kendrick Lamar. Okay, let me just say that Kendrick Lamar is actually talented as a poet. I would agree with that. But she said Nobel Prize. What the. Okay. I'm realizing, listening to that interaction, like, all the stupid crap I have to deal with on the Internet, and I'm like, I didn't say the video was. AI would you. Correct. And they're like, no, you totally did. Like, there are a lot of retards out there. And that's what that video. No, it's called a Grammy. Okay.

[D]

Taylor Swift won a Nobel Prize about abortion.

[A]

Yes. Thank you, caboose. And by the way, Roe v. Wade is about abortion, not about interracial marriage. And yeah, you know, his wife, Ginni Thomas is white. He's not trying to ban that. That was wrong. Charlie took it really easy on that retard. And sorry to the 11 year olds. Sometimes you got to use the real word. Okay? Sometimes it just. It merits it.

[D]

So true.

[A]

Ah, that was so frustrating to watch. And I asked for it. That's my fault. Okay, now they're attacking juries. Mikey22. Hey, weren't you on jury selection? No, he wasn't. No, he wasn't.

[B]

Seriously?

[A]

No, he wasn't. He wasn't. He was on jury selection. They back. He ain't been on Jers. You going to die. You on Jerry. Why you on Jersey? You on juri selection. You was on juris selection. Oh, not. Not for Carmelo Anthony. Oh, my beat.

[D]

I thought you was on jurisdiction for. Ah, man, I stab you, my baby.

[C]

Yeah, don't worry about it.

[D]

Hey, you want to know what the equivalent is?

[A]

By the way, that wasn't them attacking jurors. That was just them doing an Internet thing where they're like, they accuse random white people of being on the jury and they hit them.

[D]

So it would be like a bunch of white people going around and hitting black people randomly and saying, is, you wanted them 1 in 14. Murder is you wanted them 1 in 20 murder.

[B]

Well, the real thought crime is it's probably about 1 in 4, but. Well, we'll go 1 in 22.

[D]

We'll stick to the fact 122 let. By the way.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

The odds of a white person in the city being a juror is probably like one in a thousand or one in, like 15,000. The odds of you punching a black person that was a murderer is 1 in 22. So, like, why shouldn't we just go around doing that?

[A]

Right? I'm not saying. Because that would be, like, such a dumb thing to do, which is why we're showcasing how stupid this is. So if you want. If you want, like, people to think racist thoughts, this is how you accomplish defeat Black America. Please don't be like this. And now I've got to. I gotta find this clip of this, dad, because I do not. I actually. I don't want bloodshed in the streets. I don't want racial war. I don't want modern American racial dramas. I want us to be done with this crap, you know? You know who reinjected it, by the way? Thank you, New York Times. Thank you, Wall Street Journal. We gotta get that graph where it shows how many mentions in the New York Times. Basically, they started mentioning racism again in the 1990s, 80s, 90s. It was like nothing. Guess where it peaked. Obama. Obama. And then we had. We had. What was it? Michael Brown. Then we had Trayvon, and then we had George. It's just like this. And all they do is they pump it into the veins of the people. And they keep telling the black community, you're race, your victims, your victims. White people are racist. Well, guess what? Pretty soon, white people are going to be minorities in this country, too. So it's going to be minority versus minority.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

By 20, we get all the same rules. Do we get all the same rules? Do we get all the same protections? Or do you want to end this crap by 2050?

[B]

I think it's something.

[A]

It changes, you know, here. You know, it's interesting. Blake was. Blake and I was just talking. We're just talking about this, that apparently the birth rate for minorities is like crack crashing, and every new immigrant group that comes in, it crashes. But the only one that's actually ticking up this is Blake. So fact check, fact check. Blake, he said the only one sticking up is white America. So I don't know.

[B]

That is a recent.

[A]

No, you never know, like, when that number is going to happen. Plus all the remigration, deportations, you know, that number could keep pushing out. But like, here's the point. Like, eventually it's going to happen. Like it's going to happen. And so like, and white people used to be about 30, 35% of the global population. Now we're down to like 10, 7. No, I think it's 10.

[D]

Seven's the real number.

[A]

We're already minorities, so what does it matter? Okay?

[D]

I don't hate black people.

[A]

Oh, clip 23, Mikey. It comes off fake and G. Well,

[D]

I love black people.

[A]

All right? I do actually know your character and I know that that's true. We're talking about thug culture and it gross.

[D]

Carmelo Anthony, the people from O block type of people. Not all of them. Some of them are probably great.

[A]

Yeah, it's okay. I got to get this clip.

[C]

Well, and now we've got. Now you've got these guys posting AI photos of them urinating on Austin Metcraft's grave. And it's.

[A]

Oh yeah, it continues to just.

[C]

It's.

[A]

He's the victim.

[C]

Gross animalistic behavior.

[A]

And you wonder why, like, places like South Africa turn into such hell holes. Because this brain virus convinces millions of people that, I mean, this is anti white racism. This is like, this is not your white supremacy SPLC garbage. This is anti white racism. It's really offensive, man. Gosh, and it's just so sad to see how far the country, you know, Obama was supposed to be this like reconciliation, this proof that America was like past post racial and all it did was inflamed. The inverse of everything. Okay, stop, 42. This is a good black man that is doing it right. And God bless him. More of this. 42. What do you want us to do?

[B]

That's right.

[A]

What. What do you want us to do at this point? What? I, I'm, I'm lost for where I don't know what to do. I got five boys. I don't know what. I ain't got nothing to tell them no more. You can't walk away no more. What do you want us to do? I, I also have five boys. She doesn't know what to do after the Carmelo is here, like, what to tell her sons. Guys, I'm going to go ahead and try something today. Boys, when you go out into school, don't stab any other kids.

[C]

Think you guys can do that?

[A]

Feel good about that? You feel good about that, Ace? Yeah. Oh, here's intro. So is that a good commitment from everybody? We're not going to stab any kids today. Probably not. Hey, try that, lady. That might work.

[B]

We need more dads. Like that.

[A]

Good for him. God bless him. We need common so simple. That's why we're so pissed. Yeah, it's the simplest thing in the world.

[D]

People like that guy make me love black people.

[A]

I tell you what, I love black people. I tell you what. Classy. Black people are some of the best. Here we go. Look at my African American caboose. Is your. Is your video working yet? Are you hiding from us?

[B]

Let's pull it up.

[A]

There it is, guys. What up, Caboose? Caboose. For those who don't know, Caboose has been getting active on the Twitters and on the social medias. So give them a follow. What's your handle? Caboose?

[B]

I am Caboose, the bard on Twitter.

[D]

You'll know it's me because my profile

[B]

photo is upside down.

[A]

Okay, good.

[D]

Nice.

[A]

That was fun. I'm so glad you joined for our final topic of the Thak crime.

[D]

Sorry if I got a little hot there, guys.

[A]

No, it's mostly your accents that I'm worried about. Those will come. Those are. Those are. Okay, hold on.

[D]

I'm an equal opportunity offender.

[A]

All right. Okay, Mikey, hold on. But. Okay, this is. This isn't gonna help our case here because I'm gonna.

[D]

No, I can't. I really should not do that.

[A]

Hydroxychloroquine.

[D]

I should not.

[A]

Come on. No.

[C]

Come on, Mikey.

[D]

I don't even know if I can do that one. It's been a hot minute.

[A]

Oh, it's so. It's the funniest thing ever. What's her name?

[D]

I'm an equal. I don't even know.

[C]

It's just thought.

[D]

Cry. Mikey, you can do it.

[C]

Opportunity.

[A]

It's going to be okay.

[D]

Look, I'll hit the white people too.

[B]

I know Stephen Hawking impression is one of his voices.

[A]

All right, all right. You ready? Hello, my name is Stephen Hawking.

[D]

I am the creator of mlacoles. I am pleased to be on here today. I am not a fan of Carmelo Anthony Stabbing. Austin Matclap. Carmelo deserves a life sentence.

[A]

Ah, that's so good. I remember when you did that in front of Charlie and he would just lose it. He would just lose it.

[D]

We would be on like flights and Charlie.

[B]

Mike.

[D]

Mikey, give him the Indian one.

[A]

Give him the Indian one. You gotta do. You gotta do Hydra. Why can't you do.

[D]

I can't even remember.

[A]

Yes, you can. You are opting out. Caboose wants it. Caboose, do you want it? I'll do it.

[D]

Once a thought crime.

[B]

Give us the.

[D]

I'll do a new accent every time.

[A]

That's a music for you, man. That is very good.

[D]

Welcome to thought crime.

[A]

Okay, we should probably wrap up before we all have. We're getting more trouble, so. You know what? Bring it on. Bring it on. Why not just bring it on? Just, you know, the water's warm.

[D]

Come on in.

[A]

This was fun. All right. Thank you, Mikey, for joining us for the tail. Thank you for having me back. By popular demand, the amazing, wonderful, incredible, stupenditious Mikey McCoy. Danny, Russ. This is great caboose. Thanks for being in the studio. That's it for thought crime until next Thursday. Keep committing thought crimes.
