Speaker 1 (00:00):
My woke friends want to shoot me, a liberal tried
to stab me, and do I need to break up
with my woke gay boyfriend. We're going to react to
all these horror stories and other voicemails that you guys
sent in for this episode a voicemail Friday on the

(00:22):
Bad Versus Everyone podcast, my daily show where we take
on the craziest ideas across the Internet, our media, and
our politics, all from an independent perspective. Now, guys, like
I told y'all yesterday, I just moved to Miami. My
apartment is still in utter disarray. So this is probably

(00:43):
not my long term shooting or setup, but I just
set things up and we are going to roll with
it because I'm about to hop on a plane to
go to speak at the Aspen Institute's Ideas Festival. And yeah,
after being in my new place for like not even
forty eight I'm already going somewhere and coming back. I'm
excited about the event, but not thrilled to be doing that. Anyway,

(01:06):
this episode might be a little bit, you know, production
quality might be giving a little mid but we will
work on it and improve it for the future. So anyway,
we got to talk about some of these voice notes
you guys sent in, because, as always, y'all have me gagged,
riveted honestly with some of the stories you tell me
and some of the things you've encountered. Let's take a

(01:28):
listen to this first one from a person who's woke
friends actually suggested they wanted to shoot her over politics. Yeah,
take a.

Speaker 2 (01:37):
Listen, hey, bread. So I'm in high school and my
friend she literally told me after Trump got voted, she
told me that she wanted to shoot me because I'm voting.
And I was so baffled because first of all, we're

(02:01):
in high school. You needed to calm down. I didn't
even vote for him. I can't. And second of all,
she is so like left leaning that I would never
expect her to go for gun violence. Like it's so

(02:22):
crazy to me that she would say that, even as
a joke, because like, I didn't even vote for him,
and that's it's just so wild to me.

Speaker 1 (02:35):
Well, she sounds lovely and very stable. I mean, you're
not the crazy one, babe. I will tell y'all if
y'all send me in delusional ass voicemails and you're the problem,
I will tell you. I'll tell you with love, But
I will tell you with a little bit of shade,
if y'all are the problem in this case, you are

(02:55):
not the problem. Even if you were eighteen and a senior,
and even if you did vote for Trump, that does
not matter. It is not okay to say that to
someone that you want to shoot them, especially not if
that person is your friend. You need to dump this person,
dump her, kick her out of your friend group, whatever.
It's not okay to threaten people with violence or suggests

(03:16):
they deserve to be harmed just because they disagree with you.
That suggests a petty, petulant and frankly kind of evil
mentality of somebody who you can't trust. And if you
can't trust somebody, they can't really be a meaningful friend
in your life. And of course the irony is a
little ridiculous. Like seriously, the gun violence of it all

(03:37):
is funny. I mean, this stop a gun violence, but
shoot Trump supporter. I guess this person is also a minor,
So maybe we should have a little bit of grace
that like, this is just some undeveloped frontal lobe energy
we have going on here, and maybe this person can
grow and evolve and realize and we'll look back with
that with embarrassment and shame, and hopefully you know, people

(03:58):
can change, people can grow, so maybe don't write them off.
But I would honestly draw a pretty firm boundary. You
can't have people in your life who talk about how
you should be shot like that's not a friend. And
also you should consider reporting this to your school, because
I don't know what the policies are in your school
or in your district, but I have to imagine that
it is some form of bullying or harassment to tell

(04:21):
somebody that they should be shot, and that your guidance
counselors or your teachers or administrators at your school might
actually have some concerns about that and might speak with
this student. And maybe that could be the wake up
call that your friend needs to not act so crazy
and so unhinged and so nasty. But my heart goes

(04:42):
out to you. You should not have to deal with that,
no matter what your political views are, left or right.
That's not normal behavior. Thank you for your voice note,
and hopefully you can find nicer friends. So what do
you guys think of that one? Let me know in
the comments. Make sure you're subscribed if you aren't yet,
do it that leg button as we go, YadA YadA, Yeah,

personal life scenarios is also in the description and in
the pin comment. If you want to send one in

(05:25):
to be featured in a future episode potentially, please do
check out that link. Up next, more violence, because America
is doing amazing. Apparently we just have all these unhinge
violent people out there in these streets. Take a listen
to this one who apparently a liberal, tried to stab them.
Let's listen him.

Speaker 3 (05:44):
I'm a big fan of yours. I love your videos.
You helped me learn a lot. Actually I'm very grateful that.
But to get past that, there was this girl that
I used to know. We used to be friends, but
we've been through a lot of drama lately. She identifies
as a trans mail now very liberal, very liberal, very Democrat.

(06:07):
So she tried to bring a knife to school to
try and stab multiple of her ex friends, which was
including me uh and the staff and the school was
aware of the situation but has not informed parents, students
or has not performed any formal lockdown or anything during
what was happening. And I still don't fully know what's

(06:27):
going on. I'm only getting information from other students that
she has been texting, And from what I know, she
was supposed to be in juvenile prison. She's not. She's
on parole, I think, and she's supposed to be coming
back to the same school that I go to when
I'm in my junior year. I am a freshman, by
the way, and her grandma lives right next to me,

(06:50):
and I saw her not too long ago.

Speaker 1 (06:55):
Call the police. This is diabolically unhinged and unsafe. What
I mean, Set aside the trance thing that's like kind
of irrelevant. A student threatening to stab y'all is not okay.
A student trying to bring a knife to school is
not okay. And the fact that this school isn't telling
parents is totally not okay. Parents have a right to

(07:17):
know this kind of thing if there's a potential threat
facing their child at school, and if you ask me, honestly,
there's probably a lawsuit in order here. So you guys
should go speak with a lawyer. If you're concerned about
this person coming back to your school, you should contact
the probation officer if you can, or whatever the department is,
and try to make them know that this is happening,

(07:38):
because you could potentially get their probation revoked and get
them sent back to juvie. Regardless, though, I think y'all
may well have a lawsuit against the school on your hands,
because if everything is as you described it, and that's
all I have to go off of, obviously that's not okay,
Like schools can't just do that. Schools can't just have
a literal threat to students and not even notified parents

(07:58):
or adequately address it. What is going on? Like people
are not well, I'm getting concerned about something all and
this is making me want to homeschool my future kids, honestly,
Like I went to public schools my whole life. My
partner went to private schools, but neither of us were
homeschool But like with every passing day, homeschool becomes more

(08:21):
attractive of an option because imagine have trusting administrators who
won't even tell you if your kid faces a stabbing attempt.
What insane lawsuit? Up next? Let's take a listen to
an interesting story about whether it's problematic to prefer a
certain gender of doctor.

Speaker 4 (08:40):
Hello, Brad, it's Luigi from the UK. No I they
had to see my doctor last week for a checkup,
and this is the first doctor I saw in the UK.
No I was given it the bequest for a male
doctor because I don't feel comfortable with female doctor and
it did the help if people to hell GREATNT mine it,

(09:03):
But for some bad reason, my friends had to issue
with it. Now, when I asked for about adopt the
United States. In Brazil and Korea, my friends never had
a reaction to it. They just didn't care. But my
friends in UK had to issue with it. They were
calling me sexist. They were calling me but jos missick
or seeing. I don't fake like seeing stuff like I
don't think women can't be doctors or something, And it's

(09:26):
not really the reason I just don't feel comfortable with
remo doctor. I mean it's so I mean, I'm just
asking what do you think of it? Like, what if
I do about my friends? I guess there's this there's
acting very pugnacious, with me acting very rude. I just
don't know how to react to it. Thank you.

Speaker 1 (09:45):
I mean, not to oversimplify it, but maybe get new friends.
Like these people sound awful. Maybe they're lovely humans outside
of this one wolke brain rat that got going on.
But you did nothing wrong, and you know it's so interesting.
I imagine these people consider them like themselves, like woke
like feminist types. Ask them the inverse situation, ask them, well,

(10:08):
would it be okay for a female patient to want
a female doctor because they're only comfortable with that, they're
not comfortable with a male doctor. I imagine they would say, yes,
of course, that's her truth, that's her personal experience, informed
by Trump whatever, and I agree, like she should be
free to do that. But you can't have that energy
and then have it not be the same in reverse,

(10:28):
like it's also okay for a male to want a
male doctor, and it doesn't. It would be actually it
would be sexist if what you were saying was women
can't be good doctor, so I need a male doctor.
But you're not saying that, You're just saying that you
personally will be more comfortable with a male doctor, and
without going into details, like, obviously there are some issues

(10:49):
with male health that involve things that your doctor will
look at or do that I can understand, particularly a
heterosexual guy being un comfortable with a female doctor doing them. Yeah,
that's not weird, that's normal, that's fine, that's valid, and
it's very telling that the healthcare experts have no issue

(11:13):
with it. They because they know it's valid. But just
your woke friends, so honestly, either get new friends or
just present it to them calmly the way that I
did flip it to them in the inverse. See what
they have to say, and if they can't accept it,
draw a boundary and say it's not sexist, it's what
I'm comfortable with. And you don't get an opinion. Sorry,

(11:33):
not sorry, no one asked. You're not involved in my
health care decisions, and no thanks, no more conversation about this.
And if they can't respect that boundary, they can't. They're
not very good friends though it kind of low key
already seems like we know that, but hey, maybe give
them a shot to respect your boundaries, but yeah, you
did nothing wrong. They sound lame, and yeah, it's totally fine.

(11:55):
This kind of thing is normal, very normal in a
medical context, particularly, so my heart goes out to y'all,
and hopefully you can find friends who are less lame
and less annoying, honestly. Up next, we're gonna hear from
somebody who's co worker, quite specifically and quite openly hates
white women. Let's take a listen.

Speaker 5 (12:15):
Hey, Brian, I'm gonna say an honest for this one,
just because of my line of work, and I'm going
to quit this job soon. I am filing ethic reports,
So I think you'll really like this. My coworker hates
white people, and she has said it to my face
several times. I am a white woman, and she treats

(12:38):
me like crap. But there was one day we had
a conversation. I was talking to my other coworker and
she butted in where I said I wanted to go
do firearm training so I could get a firearm for protection,
and she said that I was lucky and I don't
need to get one of those because I'm white, whereas

(12:59):
if her black, dot we're to get a gun. The
cops would just shoot her for it. She also told
me that black people and foreign people should be allowed
to shoot and kill white people on site because the
white person was probably going to shoot them first, even

(13:20):
if they're unarmed. Just a crazy little tidbit I thought
you would want to hear. Thanks Brad love your show.

Speaker 1 (13:27):
You're great, well, thank you for this note and for
telling me about this diabolical coworker, because she sounds absolutely
unhinged and not super lovely. But it sounds like you're
already doing this. Maybe you don't even really need advice
for me, but you should be documenting this stuff because one,

(13:49):
I mean, if you just document, even if you don't
have a recording of it, they should try to record
her saying some of the stuff. If you're in a
one party consent state, definitely check your state's laws about
recording before you do that. But even if you just document,
like send yourself an email every time it happens saying
what she said, the fact that you then have that
paperwork trail will bolster your case if you file a

(14:09):
report or a lawsuit of any kind, because, like rest assured,
what you're describing is racial harassment in the workplace, and
that is illegal, and your employer may be civilly liable
for allowing it to happen. But at the very least
you need to report it to your human resources department
because you have a right to not be racially abused
at work, and you are being racially abused at work,

(14:32):
and just because it's against white people doesn't matter. That's
still illegal. The law is very clear here. There was
even actually a Supreme Court case recently that clarified that
reverse discrimination under the law is just discrimination. Can't do
that and this, I mean, this woman sounds deeply unhinged
and unwell, so I would just avoid her in the meantime,
other than maybe documenting some of this or collecting evidence.

(14:54):
And then if your employer fails to address this adequately,
you shouldn't have to quit the job. Now, know, if
you want to, like, okay, I hope you find another
line of work, like that's great, it's your life. But
you shouldn't have to quit because someone else is racist
to you. In fact, they should be fired. And if
your employer isn't going to do that, or isn't going

(15:14):
to ensure a safe workplace for you, then sue their
ass and get that bag, Like why not? I mean
the same way that a black person would be totally
entitled to sue their employer if it was an unsafe
work environment where they were being abused for being black.
That's not legal, and your employer is responsible for that.
So my heart goes out to you, crazy that people

(15:36):
are actually like this, or that they feel so bold
to vocalize these thoughts in public. That's kind of wild
as well, because almost nowhere in America would you ever
say that about a black person, and rightfully so, because
everyone would look at you and be like, girl, what's
wrong with you? But somehow, when it's about white people
or something, it's different in some social context, I guess not.

(16:00):
To me, it's not, and more importantly, to the law,
it is not. So I say, get yourself a lawyer
and get yourself that bag. That's my take. But no
matter what you decide to do, hope it works out
for you and sending you nothing but the best. Thanks

YadA YadA yah. You can send in your voicemails at
the link in the description with your woke hor stories
or your personal life scenarios. And now we'll get to
our next voice note, which is from somebody who was
told they can't dance because they are in fact white.
A lot of weird anti white stuff going on this week.

(16:43):
Let's take a listen to this one.

Speaker 6 (16:45):
Hey Brad, I'm a loyal listener and subscriber, and thank
you for everything that you do. My woe course story
is from when I was in high school about ten
years ago. I grew up in the DC area, so
my school system was extremely woke, like since day one.
And so when I was in high school, I was
in the poetry club and most of the kids in

(17:08):
there were black or Hispanic except me and one of
the girls I was closest to in the group, like,
she was low income. And my family's always been this way,
Like anytime I had friends who you know, had struggled financially,
even if they were white, like it didn't matter. We would,
you know, leave little gifts on their porch on Christmas

(17:29):
or do what we could to help because we had
more money. And so anyways, I was at a poetry
slam and Kendrick Lamark comes on and they're all dancing,
having fun, and I'm trying to dance with them, and
this girl she looks at me and she goes, uh, no,
you can't dance with us, you're white. And I was
so humiliated at the time, and I just go and

(17:49):
sit down while my friends are dancing. And a few
days later I sent her a message and I'm just like,
that was really hurtful. You know, like my family and
I have always, you know, tried to be there for
you and to help you. I don't know why you
would treat me like this. And she just goes slamming
on me. Get your white savior ass out of here.

Speaker 5 (18:09):
Stuff.

Speaker 6 (18:10):
I don't care what you've done for me.

Speaker 7 (18:12):
Blah blah blah blah blah.

Speaker 3 (18:13):
It was so mean.

Speaker 1 (18:14):
It's the audacity for me that somebody's family helps you
and is kind to you and then you treat them
like this. That's so wild. I am really sorry you
had to experience that. That was not okay and you
were not the bad guy in that situation. This friend
was the bad guy. Let's be so so for real

(18:35):
about that now. I totally listen. I used to live
in DC. It is like locally and extremely woke city,
so it does not surprise me that the schools are
like that as well. But it's not okay. I mean
it sounds like you moved on just fine, and this
is ancient history in that point at this point there
just like keep it moving. Let this be a crazy

(18:56):
story you tell people. But it really is sad because
like somewhere Martin Luther King Junior is rolling over in
his grave at this idea of you can't dance with us, whitey,
sit down, this music is for blacks only. What that
is not the MLK dream of like a society where
we all live hand in hand. Some of these like woke,

(19:18):
extreme toxic progressive ideas about race really are regressive, not progressive.
They're like taking us back, not forward, and they're dividing
people along racial lines like you should want. A school
should be encouraging people to all get along and be
friends and enjoy activities together regardless of race. Now maybe

(19:39):
this I'm not saying the school knew about this or
even blessed this, but like the idea that students would
be doing this kind of thing, this kind of self
enforced racial segregation, is really toxic and it's not okay.
I mean that if you were still, like, if you
were still a student, this had just happened to you,
I would encourage you to report it to the school

(19:59):
or counsel. Obviously, it's ancient history at this point, so
just keep it moving. But you know, at least you
can feel good about it. You can know that you
were kind to this person, your family went out of
their way to help her, and the fact that she
wasn't grateful for it. Okay, sometimes people are going to
be ungrateful, But you can sleep well at night knowing
that you guys did the right thing and didn't do

(20:20):
anything wrong, and you can let the negative negativity of
this kind of just fade into the background and surround
yourself with more positive people. But still good that you
guys helped her, and no one can take that away
from y'all. So thanks for tuning in and sending in
the voice note. Okay, guys, One final note for today,
This one from a guy who has a question about

(20:40):
how to handle his relationship with a woke gay boyfriend.

Speaker 7 (20:44):
Hi, Brad, my name is Luke. A few months ago
I met this guy named Lewis and we really hit
it off. I've spent hundreds and hundreds of hours trying
to learn his language. I've spent hundreds and hundreds of
dollars as well trying to learn his language. I've got
an apartment to myself and moved out of my apartment
with my friend because I wanted me and him to
be more comfortable and in everything. However, I'm a Republican

(21:08):
and he is a Democrat, and I can't get him
to understand that I am a Republican because I do
care about people, and he's a Democrat because he does
care about people. There's been many times that he's turned
over to me and he's asked me like how long
have you been racist? Or or he would just call

(21:29):
me a racist. And you know, I've been telling him
for a while now that I have put the effort
in and learning and learning how to cook his food,
and learning how to speak his language and making us comfortable.
But you know, it's just kind of disheartening that I
have done all this and we have a great moment.
To me, we were great together. But you know, I

(21:50):
don't know how to get him to understand that I
love him and I love his family, and I love
his people, and I love immigrants, but you know, I
just kind of view immigration policies differently, and it's not
racist to think that.

Speaker 1 (22:06):
Thank you, Wow, I am so sorry, because you sound
really sweet. It sounds like you have gone above and
beyond for this relationship, and you deserve to have that
energy matched in reverse, to have somebody who values you
and cherishes you in the same way. And that's why
I like, I don't say this lightly, right because I

(22:29):
watch some advice podcast where these girly pops every time
they say dump that man, dump him whatever. I would
never say that lightly because I think relationships are super
important and then people are complicated and that just because
there's one flog one way issue doesn't mean someone's irredeemable.
Though in this case, I'm gonna say dump that man,
dump him asap, dump him yesterday. He thinks you're racist,

(22:54):
he specifically said that to you. That means he thinks
you're a bad person. There's no sugar coding that, and
you deserve better than that. You deserve somebody who sees
you as fundamentally good, not somebody who sees you as
fundamentally bad because you dare disagree with them. Politically, even
though you've demonstrated in your real life, real world actions

(23:16):
that you are not racist, you're not anti immigrant. You
just want maybe a secure border and lawful legal immigration
rather than mass illegal migration. Oh the horror. So basically,
you hold the immigration position of Barack Obama and Bill
Clinton until five minutes ago. Right, you can go back
to two thousand whatever and find both of them saying
very similar things to the way that even Trump sometimes

(23:37):
talks about immigration. Now, now that's not to say that
I necessarily agree with your exact position on immigration, but
having a Republican position on that issue does not make
a racist. And if your boyfriend can't see that, it's
not his I'm not saying dump him because he's a liberal. No, no, no,
I'm not saying that at all. Dump him because he's
close minded and judgmental, and because as he's reading you

(24:01):
cruelly and insulting you in a way that reveals what
he really thinks of you, and you deserve so much better.
So dump him and get yourself back out there on
the market. I know it's not easy, so I can
understand not wanting to leave a relationship that has some
good parts to it because dating, especially as like anyone
who's gig who's right leaning, is hell on earth. But

(24:23):
you do really deserve better than this, and I hope
you find it okay. Guys, thank you all so much
