um friend of mine who actually runs the uh the mm podcast page the uh the fan
page the official
and only fan page of the monday morning podcast um who gets exclusive uh
whatever you know what
i do is i do the podcast now because i want i want to take this podcast to the
next level so
what i do is i do the podcast then i i i you know i upload it and i send it to
the dude who runs that
page and he puts all the fucking you know all the references up all the youtube
videos and
everything then we try to sync it where we we both fucking put it on at the
same time you know
taking it to the next level totally lost just lost my fucking train of thought
here um oh that's right
he sent me this article this is the classic just dumbing down just pussy way
that we're running
this country right now these there's people actually i guess the uh the
nationwide uh the
national spelling bee is coming up you know and everybody laughs at these these
kids who go up
there they're right at their fucking awkward years you know what i mean where
they have the nose of the
adult and like the fucking teeth of a fucking two-year-old you know 12 year old
so um
they're having the national spelling bee in washington dc they celebrate these
uh these brainiac
fucking kids that eventually will work for a corporation and without really
knowing it will
probably work on some device that'll someday kill millions of people you know
in other words the
the future so there's people actually they're picketing the spelling bee all
right i had i had to
fucking read this to actually believe it okay it says not all spellers headed
for washington dc for
the national spelling bee spelling bee on june 1st through the 3rd think
english spelling is a good
thing that should be celebrated with spectators and judges inside the grand hyatt
hotel uh oh wow while
spectators and judges inside the grand hyatt hotel will be pondering the spellings
of obscure words
and admiring the efforts of contestants outside on the street some members of
the american literacy council
and the simplified spelling society aka the sss will be trying to convince
passerbys that the english
spelling is a problem that needs fixing
why are people so fucking dumb okay now that's something if you want to get
support simplified
spelling society you don't go to the fucking nationwide spelling bee where the
kids just learned
how to spell fucking rheumatoid arthritis or whatever the fuck they're going to
ask them
can you use it in a sentence your grandmother has rheumatoid arthritis okay
that was mean uh rheumatoid
arthritis isn't that two words um why won't you just go to a bar you want to
get names on that
petition that's who you're doing it for the dumb fucks this is the point these
people have it said like
those inside side they may admire the efforts of the contestants but they will
have signs and sandwich
boards with slogans such as i'm through with through in other words th r u and
th r o u gh i'm through
with through and enough is enough spelt e n u f e n u f and enough is too much
spelt e n o u gh
their aim is to alert parents educators politicians business people and others
concerned about the
unacceptable level of illiteracy illiteracy among english speakers to the fact
that a prime cause for
this is english spelling do you get it the reason why there's such a high level
of illiteracy is not
because we constantly cut funding to the public schools not because spelling is
something that's
even fucking stressed by most people anymore it's because the words are too
difficult to spell
one of the pickers pickers one of the picketers this is hilarious and i can't
even
fucking read i'm part of the problem i might sign these people's petition
one of the picketers at the alc chair and the sss member alan mole from boulder
colorado put it this way
our odd spelling retains words like cough bow through and though this increases
illiteracy and crime
fix it and you fix a host of problems we want to fix it so this guy's basically
saying
that the reason why there's serial killers there's people holding up fucking mcdonald's
there's purse snatchers
and all this type of shit is because cat is not spelled with a k
you know i mean on one side i fucking respect this guy because he actually has
a cause he actually
got off his couch and said you know what i'm going to do something about this
this is the reverse of what
i was trying maybe that's why let's get smart america bombed on my podcast you
know you guys are waiting
for this sss guy to come in here you know i mean not not to be the classic
person who goes what's going
to happen next but what is going to happen next two plus two is like four five
three you know as long
as you're within one we'll give it to you round it off to the nearest right
answer learn how to
fucking spell you lazy fucks that's pathetic and i also like how to like the
illiteracy the illiteracy
problem is you know that's the reason why there's fucking crime you know i i
bet those fucking bankers
