Behind the Bastards

Part Five: Is Oprah Winfrey a Bastard?

1185.943

Speaking of thought crime the internet one of the internet's sort of positive things is at least there's a paper trail for all this shit yeah like yeah jesus christ yeah you know what's crazy you were saying so so that part of the clip is is scrubbed from the internet where oprah asks their size It is very hard to find.

Behind the Bastards

Part Five: Is Oprah Winfrey a Bastard?

1233.128

It was more just what I was trying to, what I was curious about was like, cause in the last episode, we watched a clip of Joan Rivers doing a version of this to Oprah.

Behind the Bastards

Part Five: Is Oprah Winfrey a Bastard?

1247.259

Yeah. It's like, it's, it's, It is wild for Oprah to have been upset by the Joan Rivers version of this and then... I mean, it's not surprising, but it is really like remarkably unselfaware or unempathetic.

Behind the Bastards

Part Five: Is Oprah Winfrey a Bastard?

1380.051

There's someone's parents have this on VHS somewhere. Next time you're home for any holiday, check the tapes. Yes.

Behind the Bastards

Part Five: Is Oprah Winfrey a Bastard?

1429.766

Yeah, yeah. I mean, I think it's a little bit too speaking of the political that like because she's a black woman, we make assumptions of what her like politics and values are that don't have to be true. And we see this in like the actual questions and like the editorials. Yeah.

Behind the Bastards

Part Five: Is Oprah Winfrey a Bastard?

1450.848

Which is like fine she's obviously allowed to have those opinions but it's I think there's there's a big like we build up as a culture like who we think Oprah ought to be and and the bastard he happens in the difference between those two things.

Behind the Bastards

Part Five: Is Oprah Winfrey a Bastard?

164.489

The reason we use them is because they make the coolest G.I. Joe toys.

Behind the Bastards

Part Five: Is Oprah Winfrey a Bastard?

1651.489

It's also like even in the absence of the perversions of it, just the simple act of doing it in public or as a performance, even if it were otherwise largely fine, which it isn't,

Behind the Bastards

Part Five: Is Oprah Winfrey a Bastard?

1701.469

That's like medieval layman's understanding of the world. That's just like burn the witch type shit.

Behind the Bastards

Part Five: Is Oprah Winfrey a Bastard?

1982.717

Yeah, it turns therapy into like telekinesis. Magic, yes. Yeah, at sort of best, where it's just like... And I guess to me, it's like all this shit, it's like... Do you never consider the counterfactual of any of this? Like, just like, oh, sorry, kid. Sorry about all your cancer. You should have had a better attitude. Like, it's so fucking disgusting when you think about any failure case of this.

Behind the Bastards

Part Five: Is Oprah Winfrey a Bastard?

2014.654

And it's, oh, I don't know. It's so hard to argue against, but it's just like, it's so gross for that reason to me.

Behind the Bastards

Part Five: Is Oprah Winfrey a Bastard?

2068.431

Yeah. Well, because because there's like a germ of truth, like speaking of like Jordan Peterson, I did have a moment where I was like, you know, most of these boys that listen to him really could clean their room more like that would immeasurably improve their lives. And then getting some sunlight might help. Yeah.

Behind the Bastards

Part Five: Is Oprah Winfrey a Bastard?

2086.016

But then once once the little amount of information, like actual value of value that they've imparted has paid off, everything subsequent to that is complete bullshit. Yeah. And it's just like the line of like how valuable this is, is But even as we're talking, you see how you lose this argument. Because it's like, well, okay, some of this works, but not all of it.

Behind the Bastards

Part Five: Is Oprah Winfrey a Bastard?

2111.525

But I can't prove that none of it works. And you become a dithering idiot in the face of all you have to do is be positive. A simple lie is always going to be better than a laborious refutation.

Behind the Bastards

Part Five: Is Oprah Winfrey a Bastard?

2236.994

It's just a big old scramble and you just wish it works. And also it's such a insidious grift because it's so easy then when it doesn't work for you to point out that you did it magic hard enough in various ways.

Behind the Bastards

Part Five: Is Oprah Winfrey a Bastard?

2566.311

Yeah. Yeah. You know, as we're talking, I just had the realization that like what kind of – what Oprah offers is kind of like those like right-wing pregnancy crisis centers near like abortion clinics because it's like – It's a simulacrum of the thing that you actually need. And it just serves these horrible ends. I guess those are at least...

Behind the Bastards

Part Five: Is Oprah Winfrey a Bastard?

2595.023

directed and intentional and full of lies and throughout all this i will say the thing that is like still kind of there is like it doesn't it still doesn't seem like oprah is being intentionally eve or anyway there's enough plausible deniability here oh yeah yeah i mean there's there's a ton of it and like it's important not to as we kind of litigate bastardism

Behind the Bastards

Part Five: Is Oprah Winfrey a Bastard?

2673.621

But even what you're describing, like among her peers, she at least will acknowledge things like affirmative action. Whereas like every single billionaire got to where they are with – immense like moments of chance they high rolled many times in a row and like the overarching like common commonality between most of them is they believe that none of that was chance

Behind the Bastards

Part Five: Is Oprah Winfrey a Bastard?

2709.319

Oprah at least has a little bit of giving deference to someone else.

Behind the Bastards

Part Five: Is Oprah Winfrey a Bastard?

3015.133

So, you know, I don't know where we want to go there. I mean, it is sort of that like... Not mudslinging because it's factual. That's like... I mean, again, we're barely past the era of... Or not even. We're still within the era of... men on the internet being like, oh, I can't wait till they're, you know, XYZ, like, young woman is 18.

Behind the Bastards

Part Five: Is Oprah Winfrey a Bastard?

3041.395

It's a little bit of that, like, this shit was definitely happening. By the way, definitely is happening. And there's whispers about it, but, like, you kind of just, like, there's a limit to what you can do. So, like...

Behind the Bastards

Part Five: Is Oprah Winfrey a Bastard?

3058.22

Yeah, it's that kind of thing where like every time like like Democrats go after Republicans and they're like, oh, you wouldn't want this turn back on you like, oh, we're going to we're going to go after your heroes. And it's like truly like, yes, they're all fucking horrible people. Get them all out of there.

Behind the Bastards

Part Five: Is Oprah Winfrey a Bastard?

3075.75

If you've done crime, I don't care what political party or like who you are in the culture.

Behind the Bastards

Part Five: Is Oprah Winfrey a Bastard?

3103.462

Or it's like Hollywood in that, like, you heard a bunch of stuff.

Behind the Bastards

Part Five: Is Oprah Winfrey a Bastard?

33.857

Actually, that felt pretty coherent. That felt just like lag. It didn't feel like you were having a stroke. It just felt like there's just a wee bit of a transmission problem, but it's fine.

Behind the Bastards

Part Five: Is Oprah Winfrey a Bastard?

3364.367

I mean, the other just like heuristic way to look at it is if these fucks had concrete evidence on a black woman, you sure as fuck, we would know about it. Yes.

Behind the Bastards

Part Five: Is Oprah Winfrey a Bastard?

3381.493

There'd be no need for insinuation if any evidence existed.

Behind the Bastards

Part Five: Is Oprah Winfrey a Bastard?

3386.916

Oh, sorry.

Behind the Bastards

Part Five: Is Oprah Winfrey a Bastard?

3475.021

Yeah, that's why, you know, and then also the other big portion of it is in the fucking church itself.

Behind the Bastards

Part Five: Is Oprah Winfrey a Bastard?

3864.724

But, you know... Those guys are still doing... I would say whoever the sponsor is, high chance some South African racist has a stake in that company.

Behind the Bastards

Part Five: Is Oprah Winfrey a Bastard?

4186.465

Yeah. It's the same reason, like, Batman is a bastard. Because Batman-ing is by far the least effective use of your billions to keep crime down. Yeah. Like, it's vanity. And it's just like, it's not bastard-y, but it's like, come on. How dumb are you?

Behind the Bastards

Part Five: Is Oprah Winfrey a Bastard?

4469.879

For all, like, the billionaire classes railing against the inefficiencies of bureaucracy, like, their own vanity and hubris is so much more wasteful and disgusting and damaging, and there's no way to make them see it. I mean, part of what, like, is here, it's like there's... Because I was almost going to say, like, you know, what is the comparison between what happened at the Oprah Academy and...

Behind the Bastards

Part Five: Is Oprah Winfrey a Bastard?

4497.558

a baseline when you realize there is no baseline. There's nothing to compare this to. Like, nothing like this exists for a good reason.

Behind the Bastards

Part Five: Is Oprah Winfrey a Bastard?

4514.66

Yeah.

Behind the Bastards

Part Five: Is Oprah Winfrey a Bastard?

4539.093

Well, because it's partially my guess is that like everyone's like, well, I've been to school. I've been a student before.

Behind the Bastards

Part Five: Is Oprah Winfrey a Bastard?

4601.128

Or how difficult it is, like, oh, I was fucked up by this. But, like, you're not aware of the choice that had to be made. Like, it's a little bit like being like, oh, I've eaten at a restaurant before, therefore I can be a chef. Like, what the fuck are you talking about?

Behind the Bastards

Part Five: Is Oprah Winfrey a Bastard?

4686.04

Also, it's like making one perfect school is something you can do. Making a dozen pretty good schools for the same money.

Behind the Bastards

Part Five: Is Oprah Winfrey a Bastard?

5111.101

They're looking for child trafficking. Here it is. They just don't like it because it's Christians.

Behind the Bastards

Part Five: Is Oprah Winfrey a Bastard?

540.307

It's really, like, pretty impressive how easily, like, everyone is fooled, I think, by this. Like, the difference between authentic and authenticism is, like, it seems big to me. Maybe, am I just an idiot? Like, I'm just like... This is still very fake, guys.

Behind the Bastards

Part Five: Is Oprah Winfrey a Bastard?

5491.566

It's wild.

Behind the Bastards

Part Five: Is Oprah Winfrey a Bastard?

5498.493

This really is just I mean, at least now we're really getting into like having having gotten the early biography out of the way. It's like, oh, Jesus Christ.

Behind the Bastards

Part Five: Is Oprah Winfrey a Bastard?

5510.541

Yeah. This is the behind the bastards I'm used to.

Behind the Bastards

Part Five: Is Oprah Winfrey a Bastard?

5550.297

My podcast is Yo, Is This Racist? I don't know. Do whatever you want. People have been finding me on Blue Sky. It's nice.

Behind the Bastards

Part Five: Is Oprah Winfrey a Bastard?

5566.086

Oh, well, great. That might have been off of Daily Like Ice appearance, but definitely someone did. Excellent.

Behind the Bastards

Part Five: Is Oprah Winfrey a Bastard?

598.978

But I would just argue that, like, every child I know with a phone knows the difference between use this pick, not this pick.

Behind the Bastards

Part Five: Is Oprah Winfrey a Bastard?

607.625

Which is the exact same thing. Yeah. Like, oh, I look good in this one.

Behind the Bastards

Part Five: Is Oprah Winfrey a Bastard?

648.74

But just like like the alternative would be a what? Three sixty spherical constant surveillance, which is, I believe, a form of torture.

Behind the Bastards

Part Six: Is Oprah Winfrey a Bastard?

2051.194

I like the website. It's just isintosuccess.com.

Behind the Bastards

Behind the Bastards

Great pick for the non-bastard holiday episode.

Behind the Bastards

Part Two: How Woody Guthrie Turned Folk Music into a Weapon

4683.129

Yeah. And speaking of somebody people should know about. I adopted a second dog.

Behind the Bastards

Part Two: How Woody Guthrie Turned Folk Music into a Weapon

4689.854

I did. This is Anderson's sister, Truman. She's learning how to be a dog, but she's a good girl.

Behind the Bastards

Part Two: How Woody Guthrie Turned Folk Music into a Weapon

4704.481

Yeah, especially a herding dog.

Behind the Bastards

Part Two: How Woody Guthrie Turned Folk Music into a Weapon

4707.472

Yeah. You're a good girl. Yeah. Yeah. I guess just to say, happy holidays, everyone.

Behind the Bastards

We'll be back in the new year or the first week of the year. We'll have a couple of Q&A episodes.

I just want to plug a series that our colleague and my dear friend, Jamie Loftus, has been doing on her podcast, 16th Minute of Fame. Ever heard of it? About the Manosphere. I think the On the Bastards audience would really enjoy it. Jamie has worked very hard on it. The writing is incredible. Yeah. So check that out on 16th Minute of Fame.

It Could Happen Here Weekly 164

1094.387

I agree.

Behind the Bastards

It Could Happen Here Weekly 164

1193.052

Yeah, for me, it's a two-part answer. The first part is that I genuinely give a shit about everything that we put out. And what we do is not really... While it is a job, it matters so much. And the second part is if I don't do my job, the amount of people's lives that that impacts... He's a lot of fucking people. And I give a shit about each and every one of them.

Behind the Bastards

It Could Happen Here Weekly 164

1228.951

So I'm going to keep doing my job so that everybody else can keep doing their job. And maybe we make a difference in this world, this fucked up, crumbly world. Robert, did you have anything to add? You were speaking and then I talked. Did I have did I already not give an answer? You gave an answer. That's why. But you were starting to speak.

Behind the Bastards

It Could Happen Here Weekly 164

12384.721

Thanks for listening.

Behind the Bastards

It Could Happen Here Weekly 164

1252.081

Great. Next. What episode or episodes were your favorite this year to make or otherwise? Hmm.

Behind the Bastards

It Could Happen Here Weekly 164

1265.31

My favorite this year were definitely James' series from The Darien Gap. That was an incredible series. I'm so unbelievably proud of it. James had been trying to do that work for a long time. And I'm happy that we were able to fund it. And James was able to do the incredible reporting that he did. I'm also quite proud of Robert Garrison and I surviving the RNC and DNC series.

Behind the Bastards

It Could Happen Here Weekly 164

1295.9

I had a great time. Fooling the worst people in the world.

Behind the Bastards

It Could Happen Here Weekly 164

1302.982

Yeah.

Behind the Bastards

It Could Happen Here Weekly 164

1307.463

The DNC was really a huge bummer. And then Mia's covered some of the most important labor stories that like nobody covers.

Behind the Bastards

It Could Happen Here Weekly 164

1316.446

And like without those genuinely like nobody covers like small labor stories or big labor stories. And she's always on top of that beat. And yeah, I also really just like Robert's Don't Panic episode. Something. Yeah. Some great writing, my friend. I answered. Now everybody else has to. I'll start with Mia.

Behind the Bastards

It Could Happen Here Weekly 164

1346.78

Yeah.

Behind the Bastards

It Could Happen Here Weekly 164

1356.79

Great book.

Behind the Bastards

Behind the Bastards

It Could Happen Here Weekly 164

1554.464

It was fun.

Behind the Bastards

It Could Happen Here Weekly 164

1562.128

It was pretty great.

Behind the Bastards

It Could Happen Here Weekly 164

1564.109

The amount of places that Garrison and I snuck into at the RNC. A time.

Behind the Bastards

It Could Happen Here Weekly 164

1581.456

An experience, to say the least. Any thoughts on the proposed 2028 general strike? How are people feeling about that? I'll start with Mia.

Behind the Bastards

It Could Happen Here Weekly 164

1643.239

Anyone else have anything they want to add?

Behind the Bastards

It Could Happen Here Weekly 164

166.579

Call zone media.

Behind the Bastards

It Could Happen Here Weekly 164

1785.872

And lastly, do each of you have, you know, a movie or a book or something you would like to recommend?

Behind the Bastards

It Could Happen Here Weekly 164

1798.119

Yes.

Behind the Bastards

It Could Happen Here Weekly 164

1845.428

Mia?

drove directly into it like JFK's head into that bullet oh my god wow we spent a lot of time with each other

Behind the Bastards

It Could Happen Here Weekly 164

2036.517

Awesome. I just have one movie to recommend, and it's one of my favorite movies of all time. The original 1973, 72, 73, 73, The Wicker Man. Not the fucking Nicolas Cage version, the original version. And if you have a local theater that plays old movies, a lot of times they'll play it in theaters, and I highly recommend that experience. It's really fun, especially at the end.

Behind the Bastards

It Could Happen Here Weekly 164

2064.199

I see it in theaters or watch it at least once or twice a year and vibes are good. Yeah, that's it for our Q&A episode. Thanks for submitting and goodbye.

Behind the Bastards

It Could Happen Here Weekly 164

2331.741

Welcome to It Could Happen Here. This is our 2025 predictions episode. We were starting to bicker off about what we predicted last year and I was talking about the things we predicted. And one of the things I predicted early on, I was like, I think Kim Kardashian will be part of the Trump cabinet. And like, honestly, goals. Yeah. At this point.

Behind the Bastards

It Could Happen Here Weekly 164

2353.537

But I'm not that far off, though, because essentially what he has done is he's basically tried to go for people that are good on TV. It's true. It's true. And like going off of that reality TV energy.

Behind the Bastards

So far, trust me, she did all those things when Trump was elected the first time where all of a sudden she was like with other lawyers trying to get people out of jail by utilizing Trump.

Not as visibly.

Behind the Bastards

Behind the Bastards

It Could Happen Here Weekly 164

2747.012

In a year, I really fucking hope. I really fucking hope I'm right.

Behind the Bastards

It Could Happen Here Weekly 164

Behind the Bastards

It Could Happen Here Weekly 164

3131.266

I tried to make Robert watch that on the way to, oh, was it the DNC or the RNC? I don't remember. But he wouldn't watch it with headphones. And so it was just on, on the plane. I think it was the DNC. That's terrible.

Behind the Bastards

It Could Happen Here Weekly 164

3161.405

A prediction that I have is that Trump basically tries to move a lot of the main time he spends to Mar-a-Lago versus the White House. I feel like he's going to make Mar-a-Lago some national monument type shit so that he can take whatever the fuck documents he wants from the White House to Mar-a-Lago and spend as much time there as he wants and make that a national residence or some shit.

Behind the Bastards

It Could Happen Here Weekly 164

3193.258

Yeah.

Behind the Bastards

It Could Happen Here Weekly 164

3320.049

And the housing market will still be trash.

Behind the Bastards

It Could Happen Here Weekly 164

3351.262

Before we go to a break, I just want to say the price of eggs will go up.

Behind the Bastards

It Could Happen Here Weekly 164

3477.682

Yeah.

Behind the Bastards

It Could Happen Here Weekly 164

3484.168

Behind the Bastards

It Could Happen Here Weekly 164

Something has to happen to those Paul brothers.

Behind the Bastards

We've got Mia Wong, Garrison Davis, James Stout, and the dishonorable Robert Evans. And Sophie Lichterman. Oh, yes. It me. Yeah. We're going to do some questions. We posted it on our Blue Sky. If you're not following us on Blue Sky, we are on there.

Behind the Bastards

It Could Happen Here Weekly 164

3520.288

Netflix paying Jake Paul billions of dollars to fight 900-year-old Mike Tyson and then Jake Paul coming in on a vintage car and spraying his product and it having higher streaming numbers than the Super Bowl. Is that real?

Behind the Bastards

It Could Happen Here Weekly 164

3544.809

Rancid Super Bowl. This cannot... This cannot be.

Behind the Bastards

It Could Happen Here Weekly 164

3557.782

Yeah, all of us were hoping that Mike Tyson was not, in fact, 60 years old, but he is 60 years old. So, yeah. God.

Behind the Bastards

It Could Happen Here Weekly 164

3569.688

Something. Something's got to give. Oh, and there won't be a left wing Joe Rogan. Thank you so much.

Behind the Bastards

It Could Happen Here Weekly 164

3581.353

There'll be somebody trying to be.

Behind the Bastards

It Could Happen Here Weekly 164

368.874

Behind the Bastards

It Could Happen Here Weekly 164

3921.957

But he has him sitting next to his family at Thanksgiving. Totally. Yeah.

Behind the Bastards

It Could Happen Here Weekly 164

395.769

I'm just going to throw out some of the questions we received online. I'm not even going to say the name of the app again because I'm afraid being labeled as an old Garrison's embarrassed by me, I can tell. I didn't say that. But you thought it. But you thought it. I didn't think that. You did. Any advice for someone with a desire to do some hobby or freelance journalism in the coming few years?

Behind the Bastards

It Could Happen Here Weekly 164

3987.605

Yeah, if he tries to get rid of the fucking polio vaccine, it's going to be a real quick trip to the unemployment line for Bobby boy.

Behind the Bastards

It Could Happen Here Weekly 164

Your new dog. I adopted Anderson, a sibling, and her name is Truman. Lovely.

Behind the Bastards

It Could Happen Here Weekly 164

4108.448

After not the greatest U.S. president. I would never name a child of mine after our president.

Behind the Bastards

It Could Happen Here Weekly 164

4116.627

Also no. All right.

Behind the Bastards

It Could Happen Here Weekly 164

4133.039

Behind the Bastards

It Could Happen Here Weekly 164

418.08

Behind the Bastards

It Could Happen Here Weekly 164

Behind the Bastards

It Could Happen Here Weekly 164

Behind the Bastards

It Could Happen Here Weekly 164

6059.736

That was my answer to it. It is the internet, so no. Although it can run without the internet. So I'm like, oh.

Behind the Bastards

It Could Happen Here Weekly 164

666.92

I had my annual physical today because otherwise our insurance screws us over. And my doctor was like, you should try to get as many prescriptions filled before the end of the year, before things come up, just in case. There you go. And, you know, that's not terrible advice.

Behind the Bastards

It Could Happen Here Weekly 164

718.561

Somebody's getting fired the first week. Probably first day.

Behind the Bastards

It Could Happen Here Weekly 164

785.794

Okay. Several of you have asked about the Android ad-free version subscription channel, and I want you all to know that it will happen next year. I have been trying to get this to happen for two years now, and... For unforeseen reasons, it just keeps getting roadblocked. But it is happening. We're just waiting on a couple final things to get into place.

Behind the Bastards

It Could Happen Here Weekly 164

815.869

So that will be happening hopefully very soon into 2025. I will update everybody as soon as that's possible. And I'm so sorry it's taken so long. I want you to know I have worked so unbelievably hard on this. Miserably hard.

Behind the Bastards

It Could Happen Here Weekly 164

Some bureaucracy bullshit.

It Could Happen Here Weekly 164

898.095

Anyways, here's ads unless you have an iPhone and subscribe to Cooler Zone Media on Apple. All right, we're back. How do you each motivate yourself to write or do your jobs?
