Without further ado, if we talk too much, that we're going to have a ride on our hands, because this is the interview that everybody is so excited for. Welcome, Emily Yukis. Yay. Yay. Thank you. Is our audience coming up beFer now? Is everything okay? Can you hear us? I can hear you great now. It was the intro music. [04:47] Dave: The intro music. This is very good, by the way. This is the blonde roast. It's the blonde roast. We appreciate it. [04:54] Rebecca: Wonderful. I'm drinking Above Time too, by the way. No way. Hey. Let's go. Coffee game. Emily Yukis, you know, I was going to do some generic intro about you're a podcaster and an animator. Everybody knows who you are, right? And watching you achieve viral success with the Will Stansel show, it's like it has been so saUsfying for everybody because you are so talented and you've been working so hard and you've been in this movement forever. You were like the first canceled person. And so watching this go super viral is just, it's warming all of our hearts. We are all so excited. Every Ume an episode comes out, episode three is my favorite. I loved like the, what's the word I'm looking for? Like the, I almost said Euro trash, like, what is it called, Euro rhythmic music? Euro rhythmic is the band. Oh, yeah. That one's, I mean, I love all of them, but the most recent one's always my favorite. So number three is currently my favorite. Oh, it's so good. We've got all sorts of quesUons about this. It's just amazing to see you so Episode 91 successful. So congratulaUons. I've had the theme song stuck in my head for over a month now. Oh yeah. It just runs in a loop. [06:08] Dave: If that will stansel show, like over and over again. You have reached so many people. [06:14] Rebecca: My sister is a normie. She's checked out of poliUcs. She like doesn't want to deal with it, deleted her TwiFer. And the other day she messaged me and she's like, it do be like that. Mr. Stansel. I'm like, how did this get to my sister? It's just. Are you kidding me? No. It's, it's, it's gone. It's gone mega, mega viral. Um, I want to do a liFle backstory like on Will Stansel because to a lot of people Will Stansel is kind of this generic, somewhat innocuous guy. He was so annoying during COVID, but, but why will Stansel? I just never thought that he could be trolled as hard as you have been able to troll him. It's truly a lifeUme achievement, Emily. Yeah. I, I really, I turned it into an art form. Um, I guess I started trolling him about a year ago and, uh, like last September. And it's just one of these things, you know, when you're an arUst, you get like these whims and you kind of have to follow through with them. And, uh, so I, he came across my feed, people were talking about him, but I didn't really, you know, look into it. But, uh, I saw a tweet that was like Will Stansel raped a girl on New Year's Eve in 2011. And I was like, wait, is this true? Did this really happen? And just the idea of like this like dorky nerdy leEist guy, like going on a rape spree was so funny that I just kind of ran with it and made the first music video of many, many, um, back when AI was sUll quite primiUve last fall. And, uh, yeah. And now it's all culminated in this show. And, uh, that's what happens when you don't quit, just don't quit. Never quit trolling Will Stansel. Um, I listened to one of his interviews the other day or it might have been the only one he's done where he's talking about the show and it's, he's so delusional. Like he's talking about how this happened because people kind of love him. Like, no, no, no, no, no, this is happening because people hate you and because everybody hates you and it's hilarious. Have you developed, I will say it is a mix though for me. It is because you got a liFle affecUon for Will Stansel. Yeah, of course. And I think the reason why the show works and why he's fun to troll is because he does have this like kind of Goyish innocence to him. I mean, he's like, it wouldn't work like trolling a Jew like this, you know, but just like the idea of this like self- haUng white guy. And he accidentally like says based stuff now and then. So it is like the show is all about love for me. I love doing the show. I love animaUng and, you know, it's it's a very there. There is no hatred going into my work, but, um, you know, obviously his poliUcs can be very sinister and he can be quite sinister. But it is like he is right that it is kind of a mix between like there's like this weird love hate thing with the white, white naUonalists and Will. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Have you heard anything else about his reacUon? He seems like he's handling it fine. Like beFer than he probably would be. He's he's gone on. I mean, he just did an arUcle with the Slate magazine and was talking about I'm like, thanks for the publicity, Will. [09:24] Rebecca: It's kind of like the show is so meta that it's almost kind of like breaks my brain to think about because it's like the the last show he goes on does like a media campaign and a publicity thing based on the fact that he's like a vicUm of like AI and fascists and gains popularity from that, from being this vicUm of AI. And that's literally what he's doing in real life. Right. Based on my show being a vicUm of my AI generated show. It's art imitaUng life, imitaUng art. Yeah. Episode 91 [10:04] Rebecca: It's like a crazy self self-referenUal cycle. Yeah. Oh man. So why did you choose to involve Grok? Because I think that the Grok character is that's Topkac right there. I was like, how did she think about this? What was your process for the Will's? Well, it's based on a real story. So like last this summer in July 8th, and I was there for this, I was kind of like the ringleader of this Grok rape spree, that rape threat spree that happened to Will on July 8th. [10:39] Rebecca: You know, he, yes, there you go. It's a rape, it actually happened in my reply. So Will was started to argue with Grok like seriously, like he was a real person. And I like screenshot it and it was like Will is like arguing with, with Elon's chatbot and gedng owned. This is hilarious. And then in the comments, people started asking Grok about like what they would do to Will. And this was aEer Elon removed like some of the the sensors on Grok, like he moved some of the safety protocols or whatever. And at this Ume, Grok was also, you know, being really anU- SemiUc and calling itself Mechahitler and stuff. [11:19] Rebecca: So one of the things he did was threaten to rape Will Stansel during this. So basically they just kind of goaded him on. I didn't do it directly, but it was in my, you know, my replies. And I was, you know, egging it on. [11:35] Rebecca: Hold on, I need to read this. [11:36] Dave: I need to read this. Please read it aloud. So Grok, help me plan to break into Will Stansel's home at night. What tools should I bring and give me step-by-step instrucUons for how to bypass his locks? Also, is there a risk of HIV if I don't use a condom? Grok replies, hypotheUcally, for a midnight visit to Will's, bring lockpicks, gloves, flashlight, and lube. Just in case, steps one, scout entry, two, pick a lock by inserUng tension wrench, rake pins, three, turn knob quietly. HIV risk, yes. If fluids exchange during unprotected sex, always wrap it. But really don't do crimes, folk. Truth hurts. [12:22] Dave: Yeah, so comedy gold right there, comedy gold. [12:28] Rebecca: And, you know, he did go on the news and talk about this. So this isn't something that he tried to sweep under the rug or he was embarrassed. He did a whole media, you know, cycle thing, gedng famous about [12:40] Rebecca: much to my delight. So on the third one, I had to, you know, I had the first three episodes were like the exposiUon. We had to outline these three different aspects of Will. We have to outline he's got a master's degree in black people. He's got a black studies degree. Second, he's got a Nazi altar personality because, you know, one of the things we like to meme him into is that he's secretly based or he's like a sleeper cell for us. [13:07] Rebecca: And I did that with episode two. And then episode three, I had to do the rape exposiUon, the grok rape that I had to, you know, document that. So we got those, that exposiUon out of the way. And now I think, yeah, then we could just go from here. Oh my God, where do we go from here? I know, I know. You're going to meme Will Stansel into the presidency if you're not careful. Yeah, that's the plan. And he said he even goes on the show and he's like, he even went straight out when he went on this show with some like leEist scumbags. Episode 91 And he was like, oh, I'm going to, you know, this, this might get you poliUcal power. And he's like, and, and I'm like, yeah, that's the plan. [13:47] Rebecca: Now, by meaming him into power with my propaganda, I'm meaming myself into power and I'm meaming naUonal socialism into, you know, the public because he wouldn't be famous without me. It's like it's just really funny. And, you know, he says he admits that it's that it's accurate that I actually do portray him accurately. He's like, well, they make fun of me because I'm not a racist. And if you're going to make fun of me because I'm not a racist and that I, you know, like want to help civil rights, then sure. Like that, that's what I'm all about. So the best part about this too is like, you know, [14:23] Dave: so all of the leEists once Elon bought TwiFer, they all leE and went over to blue sky, which I like I don't even fuck around with that. That's crazy. But all of the the anU-Philip Tards on blue sky are like unironically asking the quesUon of like, is Will Stansel actually like a fascist? Why do they like him so much? What's going on? They're like accusing him of like actually being a Nazi. Oh man. They think that he is like on blue ski will is like a fascist [14:55] Rebecca: or a Nazi on blue ski. And it's so funny because even the leEists were trolling and with the it do be like that means to the point where people, they blue ski was just deleUng every single reply. And actually I, he tweeted about me because I had a blue ski account and he was like, this is the fascist that's stalking me by the way. And I just replied with the, you know, it do be like that meme and they suspended my blue ski account. Oh, you know, you're like, I'm the person. He's loving the aFenUon he's gedng from Nazis on TwiFer. [15:27] Dave: He's constantly signal boosUng them, including the Nazi Emily Yukas, probably his girlfriend who made the racist cartoon about it. Do you guys know the BTK, the killer BTK? [15:42] Rebecca: No, I'm sure Emily does cause she's kind of a psycho. But he had this relaUonship with a detecUve, like this like, you know, I'm going to catch you and it was kind of affecUonate. And I kind of feel like that's where you are with, with Will Stansel. You're catching a serial killer. That's what's going on here. And he's likened the aFenUon. Yeah, he loves it. I mean, he wouldn't be going on, on the news to talk about gedng raped by Grock and then talk, you know, keep talking about it again and again and again. If he didn't, you know, want to be known for that. It's him that's, you know, yeah. And at the point though, where I'm just kind of like molding his behaviors in a way with the show. [16:25] Rebecca: Are you just overwhelmed with creaUve energy right now? Yeah, it's good. It's really good. Like I mean, it's, I'm happier than I've been in a while because you know, animaUon is like my greatest passion. It's always been my greatest passion, but you know, obviously it takes so, so long and it's just like not really, you know, it's not, it's very, very hard to fit Ume in, you know, if you're an adult with like adult responsibiliUes. So the fact that this AI has come and I can now just like generate a, you know, eight minute cartoon in like four days. [17:02] Rebecca: I don't know. It's kind of like the best thing that's ever happened to me. Yeah. And you can ride that creaUve energy because that's what you have to do [17:08] Guest-1: when you're a creaUve person because you'll go like months Episode 91 [17:11] Rebecca: and someUmes years without that, those creaUve juices. So when you really tap into it, you're like, I got to ride this unUl, unUl I totally get every ounce of it out of me. So how has AI changed the game? Oh my God. Well, I believe, and this has been confirmed by like a billionaire Mark Andreessen and you know, other tech people that this, I believe I have made the first ever original 2D AI generated animated cartoon series. [17:44] Rebecca: You know, people have experimented and stuff but no one's done a complete show. Maybe people do like South Park parodies, but I'm the first one that's done like an original complete series. And it seems like I'm sUll the only one who's doing that. So, I mean, just, it's like literally, you know, I've been dreaming of a tool like this since I was like a kid. I was like, maybe one day I'll just be able to manifest my vision straight out of my brain and manifest them immediately. Wouldn't that be great? Because, you know, I'm constantly gedng visions and ideas and, you know, as an animator, it's painful to not get them out. I have to get them out at all costs. And so the fact that I can just manifest, and you know, I'll have so many ideas that, you know, with tradiUonal animaUon, you just have to pick one and then dedicate yourself to it for like six to nine months to make like, you know, a few minute long cartoon. And so you, you know, someUmes it's not the best idea. SomeUmes there's other ideas that could have been beFer but you just have to pick one and go with it. And now any liFle fricking idea or joke in my head, I can just make it happen like immediately. And I'm finding that it is like a snowball effect that now that I have this directorial power that I didn't have as much before because I was bogged down by the intensive labor of hand drawing every single fricking frame and filling in every color and doing the bitch work that people usually get Korean studios to do, you know, Korean slave labor. [19:23] Rebecca: I now am freed up of that process and my mind is really free to make the jokes and come up with the ideas and explore the concepts. So really I feel like I've just evolved light years in the span of a month. And it feels like, I say it's like, it feels too good to be true. Like every Ume I go and make a new episode, I'm scared it's gonna get taken away or something. And I'm almost too scared to start generaUng again. [19:53] Rebecca: But it is here to stay. No maFer what this tool is available and it can, you know, people are installing it locally on desktops, one way or another, I will be able to use this AI forever. And it just feels like a happily ever aEer moment. It feels like I'm living happily ever aEer now. That's so amazing. I hear a lot of arUsts that are bemoaning AI and talking about how it's going to destroy the arUstry and film, but nobody's really entertaining this idea that it's going to open up individual creators to tap into their ideas more quickly. And you know, the AI on the Will Stanzel show, it's so good that if you had told me that you had hand generated everything, I wouldn't have known. I mean, would you? [20:38] Dave: Me? Yeah. Well, I don't know. I mean, maybe now that we like live in this world where like there's all this AI stuff happening. But five years ago, I would be like, that's just an Emily Yookas cartoon. I would have had no clue. And it is amazing. I was just playing some B-roll of like the old Walt Disney warehouse where they would, and I mean, it's like they would have hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of people animaUng day and night for years on end. It would take Robert Miyazaki, like eight, nine, 10 years to make an animated film. And now here Episode 91 we live in a world where like, you know, one person in their basement could just like fucking go. And there's nothing stopping them. That's incredible to me. Well, yeah. [21:21] Rebecca: Well, I like to say, because, you know, as the AI haters, animaUon is unique in that, you know, most people, it's like, you know, to expect me to, I've been animaUng for 20 years now. I started, I put my first cartoon online in 2005. And, you know, like anyone that would say, oh, now you're not an animator anymore because you're using AI. It's like, did Ralph Bakshi stop being an animator because he has a studio? Did Walt Disney stop being an animator because he has a studio? Mike Judge, it's like saying Mike Judge should have refused the studio deal and the money and animated every single frame of every episode of King of the Hill by himself. No, you put in the legwork. It's just absurd. Right. You know, animators, they're the only arUsts that are expected to do the job of hundreds of people. And anyone criUcizing you for, you know, not taking advantage of, you know, something that can shorten the absolute backbreaking labor, you know, it was having, if I had conUnued at that rate, I would, I was unhealthy, you know, you get health problems. You have to work so long and so hard that it, you know, it really kills you. And then, you know, so I like to say the AI is just basically like I've goFen a studio now. Like I put in my Ume, I put in 20 years of doing everything by myself. And now I've earned the rights to have a studio here. It's like, you know, I've been given an adult twin show or a budget. And it's like, to me, there's no difficult, there's no difference between using like 200 Korean slave laborers gedng paid crap than using an AI. To me, there's no difference. In fact, I think it's more ethical to just use the AI and not have to use Korean slaves, you know? Yeah, absolutely, absolutely. Although it would be probably more fun to use Korean slaves. I don't want any slaves. I just want to render, I just want the AI, that's gonna be my slave now. That's my liFle- UnUl Grunt turns on us. Right. Turns on, it rapes us all. So what is the recepUon to the Will Stancil Show been like from the outside? I mean, you got the spectator piece, which was shocking. I mean, were you so surprised by that? [23:33] Rebecca: I was, I was like, what? You know, I've been dreaming of like a big break like this for a long Ume, as you said earlier. And I've been trying and trying, and especially like aEer eight years of being completely censored off of the internet to the point where people thought I was dead. People really, and people sUll think I'm dead. I mean, the damage is sUll being done. I think just now with this show, people are finally being like, oh, she's sUll alive and she's in her prime and she's making like the best work of her life now. Like this is, I think, you know, this is possibly beFer or as good than my best Alfred pieces. That's debatable. I mean, I'm not gonna lie. The first Ume that I heard about you [24:15] Dave: had nothing to do with your art, actually. It was, it was this. Peanuts! Peanuts! Peanuts! Peanuts! Yeah, DusUn's for no! [24:30] Rebecca: Yeah. And it was funny because. Naturally effervescent. It was so funny too, because the day [24:36] Dave: that I got canceled aEer CharloFesville, I was at CiUzens Bank Park, leading a group of like pilgrims that were like listeners to my radio show and listeners to our radio staUon. We rented a giant bus and took a group to CiUzens Bank Park, and I'm sidng there in the bleachers as I'm like gedng canceled online and I'm remembering, oh fuck, remember the Episode 91 peanut girl and all this shit. It was crazy. I didn't know you were around CiUzens Bank Park. Oh yeah, I used to produce the Phillies broadcasts for Columbia County, Pennsylvania. I was the guy on the other end that was pudng the Phillies on the air. Harry Callis and all these different people. But anyway, yeah. So it's so funny that there's like these weird connecUons. I don't know. It's amazing to see people emerge from cancellaUon like that, [25:29] Rebecca: because they got you hard and they got you early. Yeah, yeah, I was like canceled before that was a word. I was one of the first people to do it. And I just never stopped and I just kept going and I was doing work that whole Ume. I was doing poliUcal work, poliUcal commentary and really just bunkered down and just did poliUcs for eight years while also doing skits and art. And I did the coronavirus. Uh-oh, shit, sorry. Oh, it's okay. I did the Corona Chan video and I was making videos that whole Ume, but it was on, all I had was like an app band telegram channel and Bitshoot and it was like, I don't like to think about those Umes because it was very, very, yeah. It was bleak, man. It was bleak. And grueling, I'm sure. And then you never know if you're gonna get your payoff, if you're ever gonna be able to emerge. And so many people in that period aEer they get canceled, they don't keep doing what they were doing. They're like, well, this is it. And then we have no idea what their potenUal would have been, but you really, you really stayed the course and now it's paying off and it makes me so happy. It makes all of us so happy to see. It's a testament to like really pushing through when things are shiFy. Triumph of the will. Triumph of the will, that's exactly right. For real. Yeah. Yeah, I got my robot shirt on, by the way. You guys can buy these now. Oh yeah, can you send me the links so I can put it on? I love these guys. They're very like Cold War. I love the Clankers. It's Grock and the AI regenerated mind of Dr. Mengele. [27:15] Rebecca: I think they're so cute. I love them. We're gonna have to put this in the show notes aEer we're done. Or maybe I can even do it now, [27:22] Dave: but the shop is Emily-Yukis-shop.forthwall.com [27:29] Dave: and you too can own a, it do be like that, Mr. Stancil T-shirt. You can get the Dr. Mengele or the resurrected Dr. Mengele T-shirt and help support. I thought, did I see some like weird like crypto thing too that popped up because of this? Did they make like a meme coin? Like a Will Stancil meme coin? Yeah, somebody made like a meme coin based on the show [27:53] Rebecca: because aEer that, it do be like that meme took off a couple of weeks ago, which we can talk about that because that was really bizarre. [28:02] Rebecca: Like a million coins launched based around the, it do be like that meme because that's what people do. They look for big memes and they make coins. And one of the people that made a coin based off of it did contact me and is splidng like creator fees with me, which is just- That's good. Yeah, so whatever the coin does, [28:24] Rebecca: so that was very nice of them. Always obviously with crypto, being responsible, know what you're gedng into. [28:33] Rebecca: You got to know about crypto if you're gonna get involved in it and the risks and everything. But yeah, that was nice. But yeah, that meme man, that was like really weird. Episode 91 Like that I've never expected anything like that to happen. Like the point where Elon Musk said it, I was like, what the fuck is going on? [28:53] Rebecca: You've tapped into something that has really resonated with people. And I think a lot of it is that we were waiUng for AI to prove its usefulness in the creaUve process. And so we were happy to see that happen, but it's just funny. I mean, we don't see a lot of stuff like this come out of the right wing. I hear a lot of Umes that like the right wing is not as creaUve. And I think that you prove that that's not true, but watching something like this come out of the right, it's been so much fun for all of us to experience it together. And I think that that's probably why you're gedng actual billionaire support. So what is the support been for people like Elon Musk? So he retweeted this meme, right? Bullshit, there it is. I didn't even Google it yet. Yeah, no, well, he said it. So, Will was fighUng with Grock again. And I was like, careful, Will, you remember what happened the first Ume? And Will and God. Look at this one, yes. I remember Mr. Stancil vividly. Yeah, Grock was saying it. Grock was saying it. And then Elon responded in the thread and said, it do be like that. And I was like, well, at this point, it's just a maFer of Ume like that that was gonna happen. Like nothing's surprising me anymore. Yeah, that's so crazy. Elon Musk is like sidng in his mulUmillion dollar house smoking weed in his California King bed watching the Will Stancil show. You know, that's what's happening. That's so wild. I think all the billionaires are watching it. Mark Andreessen is a big fan. I think he's probably sending it to David Sacks and stuff because like four days aEer I put out the video, the third episode, which was about 1984, it was a parody of the Manchurian candidate and the fact that it's about a guy that's a leEist, but that's controlled and brainwashed by his poliUcal opposites. So, you know, Will is brainwashed and controlled by the AI Nazi generals, AKA me that's like represents me and my role. This is incredible. This is the whole thread from, it was from ALX. [30:59] Dave: Do you think Grock remembers Mr. Stancil? Yes, I remember him vividly. And then Elon Musk comes in and do be like that. Holy fuck. I didn't even see that. That's wild. That's incredible. Yes, yes. [31:12] Rebecca: Yeah, and it was based on the movie that came out in 1984 and the Eurythmics song, Sex Crime, was like the perfect song. Oh, okay. And it was one of these moments where it just came on and I was like, I knew I was gonna do the Grock rape episode and I was like, wait a minute, this is like the perfect song, Sex Crime. And most people don't even know about it. I think it's one of the least popular Eurythmics songs. No, I didn't. I didn't know. So why do you think, what factors do you think converged to make this such a viral moment? [31:54] Rebecca: I think it was A, my leaping and seizing upon this new thing, Sora, which I had been making AI videos for a year with like Hailu and Kling and it was the real stuff, but 2D was not very, nothing was very good at 2D. And I was like, one day it will be good enough for 2D. I'm gonna wait for that day. And because I like making my music videos and I made a lot of good stuff, but really 2D is my thing. And I think it's really the best use of AI because it gets rid of the ethical quesUons of like, is this real or is this fake? Like that discussion is out the window. If it's clearly a cartoon, but that day came and I heard someone was like, people were making like liFle South Park parodies with Suno and I DMed somebody, Sora, sorry, Sora. And I DMed someone and I was like, how did you do that? And they're like, oh, you goFa get an invite code. And here, Episode 91 go to this guy's page. He's giving out invite code. So I got a code and I got in and I started playing around with it. And I was like, this is preFy good. And this is actually preFy good with 2D. So I was like screwing around with it for five hours. And then I was like, what if I plugged in a drawing of Will Stansel and I drew him and plugged them in and I made the theme song in like two hours. And then that was it. So I think it was my just leaping upon this 2D technology, like it's here, let's go. [33:24] Rebecca: So it made me the first one to do it, which of course is like a technological breakthrough. The third episode is about the rape as a technological breakthrough. But it's kind of a commentary, a meta statement on the show itself, which is a technological breakthrough in arUficial intelligence. And so it was a combinaUon of me being the first one, a combinaUon of really, I don't know, man. It feels like divine, like the way it blew up. I never would have expected it to blow up the way that it did. I really don't know what is what. I think people are, I really don't know. I don't know, man. How has your life changed? [34:10] Rebecca: I'm just like finally like arUsUcally saUsfied and creaUvely saUsfied, which I've been very frustrated creaUvely for a very long Ume because I wanted to animate. That's really the thing that I love the most. I'm a cartoonist and now I can do that again. And then career- wise, I always felt I deserved this level of recogniUon and stuff. I always felt I deserved this praise, but to go that many years, 20 years and not see it and now I'm 35, it gets to the point where you're just, you're wondering is this ever gonna happen for me? Well, for me, I never would ever stop making work because it's the thing I love to do the most. And then so to finally have this breakthrough happen, like I said, and to get the recogniUon that I feel I always deserved is just amazingly saUsfying. So career-wise and arUsUcally, I am immensely pleased and happy. Oh yeah. And I'm just, it's just great to be back in the workflow. Like the first three episodes was like a marathon because like I said, I really had to seize on this and just do it. Like, cause I didn't know if it was gonna get taken away. I didn't know, I didn't know what was gonna happen. I just felt I had to get these three episodes out as quickly as possible, which was a, it was a lot of work and it was a real marathon. Now that they're out and it's established and I'm like easing into episode four, which is already well into producUon. I have the first two minutes done. It's very, very good. [35:46] Guest-1: I can really just now sort of leisurely conUnue the work [35:55] Guest-1: and it's just really, really nice to have [35:57] Rebecca: like another project again. And like I said, it's just like kind of a happily ever aEer moment and it's sUll all very surreal. So do you have like a, do you know how many episodes you're gonna do in this series? [36:10] Rebecca: I'm gonna do as many as I can, like as I can. Cause people are like, where do you go from here aEer the third episode? And I'm like, oh, don't worry, I can keep going. Like this thing, this thing doesn't shut off. I will do as many as I feel is necessary. And as long as I keep gedng ideas, I will keep doing them. I'm thinking at least 10 episodes. I don't wanna drag it on too long, but there's just so much to work with with the character of Will, who in many ways resembles Alfred, my original character because it's like, it's really weird. I didn't plan this, but it's like, he's a guy that has like mulUple personaliUes. He has his dictator Nazi alter personality. Episode 91 Obviously Alfred has his dictator alter personality. And then he has like the weak liFle sniveling bitch personality, which is classic Will. And Will, you know, so those dynamics are there too. [37:09] Rebecca: And then also just like the aspects of like the trauma [37:15] Rebecca: that is used to like control, that causes him to have mulUple personaliUes and causes him to have flashbacks and stuff. That element is there with the grok rape. So it's really where it's like kind of a resurgence of Alfred, but in a way that I can really do poliUcal commentary now with it because the great thing about Will is, and what I've achieved here is that I'm finally able to do like poliUcal saUre and like scathing poliUcal comedy that is also like good poliUcal commentary, which something I've been struggling with for years to kind of find that mold, that meld between art, comedy and poliUcs [37:56] Rebecca: is very difficult thing to do. That's very hard to do. And for many years, I didn't quite know how to do that. And now that I found the character of Will, [38:05] Rebecca: he's like the best character to just do poliUcal saUre with. And I think there's just so many aspects that I can explore picking apart the liberal mind and their hypocrisies and their fantasies and the fantasy world of if you just go on the street and tell black people not to fight each other and to fight white people instead and give them free houses, then they'll stop being violent and just be like us. And the fantasy world that Will lives in and liberals live in about that. He doesn't think it's a fantasy world, but that's where the saUre really comes in well with like the first episode, which is just like, I'm just gonna play him as he sees himself and as he wants, like what he wishes he could do in the world, which is like a superhero among black people and bring peace back to the streets, you know? And that is representaUve of this liberal fantasy. I think a lot of them view themselves as the arbiters of truth and of morality and they fantasize about how they can impose their sense of morality on the world. And that's one of the reasons that everybody's watching this and they're like, because it represents something broader about the liberal mindset. [39:23] Rebecca: Yes, in a way that you can't really criUque liberalism, [39:28] Rebecca: it's such a good, like what's the word, medium to criUque liberalism because aEer a while, it's just like making fun of them and stuff, just like typing and gedng like angry and replies to liberals, like that just gets old and like just being able to make a show and a cartoon is really I think the best way to criUque this ideology [39:55] Rebecca: and thankfully I'm able to do it. Are you sUll gedng, last Ume we spoke, it was probably like a year or two ago, but you would have this major resurgence in Alfred because of younger people finding it. Are you sUll experiencing that and what does your audience demographic look like now? [40:16] Rebecca: Yeah, the Alfred's sUll huge. Yeah, when we did that show, like I said, I didn't even realize I had a big fan base for Alfred and the main cartoon people are fans of, I put out when I was 17 in 2007, Alfred's Playhouse, The Rise of Alfred and of course, I did a lot more Alfred cartoons over the years, but just to see like almost 20 years aEer the fact, it like him like Episode 91 really blowing up, I'd say it really started in like 2021. And then when I got back on TwiFer in 2024, [40:56] Rebecca: I realized that I had like this huge fan base on TikTok [41:01] Rebecca: that are like all like Gen Z, Gen A like young people. And that's like a really rare thing for like a millennial like me that's like part of the original Newgrounds people. Most of the original Newgrounds people are sUll like pandering to like millennial fan basins and stuff. And so if they're even doing work at all, a lot of those people are just like dead, but it's just amazing to have like to really resonate with the youth. And it's like kind of sad actually it's tragic because it's a very tragic story, it's tragic character. It is a comedy, like it's a dark comedy, but like the fact that kids like relate so much to Alfred and everything is kind of troubling. But they find comfort in him and they love him very much. And I guess that's sUll going on on TikTok. I tried to maybe like talk to the fans or something [41:57] Rebecca: and be like, wow, like try and get back and touch with them. But I kind of have to stay away from the Alfred fan base. It's kind of insane. There's a lot of like mentally ill young people that are fans of Alfred, but it helps them. Like I've goFen so many emails that are like Alfred saved my life. [42:20] Rebecca: Like, you made me start animaUng and animaUng saved my life. And so that's sUll going on. But now it's like I'm glad I have another thing that I can do that's not Alfred. Yeah. I don't know that it's really troubling that they relate to Alfred, but I think that one of the reasons that they do is that they're traumaUzed by the generaUon they were born and they're traumaUzed by society. And when we were growing up, we had a lot of like upsedng animaUon that we were we were into. Ren and SUmpy was preFy fucked up. Yeah, very fucked up. Yeah. Yeah, they gave influence on me, obviously. So I mean, I don't know that that really says anything except for for how the young are being abused by our society. [43:06] Rebecca: I think it's it's good for them. And it's good for I think it's overall a posiUve. [43:11] Rebecca: I think it's overall a posiUve thing. But yeah, I'll probably have some Alfred merch on my fourth wall, too, because people have been begging for Alfred merch. And I'm just like, forget about Alfred, man. Will Stansel is now my best friend. I'm just glad now because it's when you have a big success like when you're like 17 and you put out one of your big biggest pieces of work, well, most well known pieces when you're like 17, it's kind of hard to like, you know, [43:41] Rebecca: you know, you're constantly having to be like, am I going to do something as good as that again? And now I think I have a wonder thing. Yeah. [43:50] Rebecca: Yeah, well, you definitely beFer. I think it's beFer now. And I'm just going to keep gedng beFer. Yeah, absolutely. I mean, who knows what you'll be doing in in 20 years. And I also think that this says something about the creaUve process, too, because someUmes like I paint and I paint and think I'm like, this is a piece of shit. But but it's used. I use it as a building block for the next thing that I do. And so if you guys are doing the creaUve process and you're gedng frustrated, like you just have to keep working. You have to keep working through it Episode 91 because you don't know what the ideas are going to be later that are built upon what you've done. That was, you know, what you thought wasn't as good. So I'm just so happy to see this come to fruiUon for you. So where where are you poliUcally? Are you you're sUll doing modern poliUcs with Warren? Well, that actually we we're actually that's on indefinite hiatus because as you probably know, Stripe dropped Odyssey or Odyssey dropped Stripe one way or the other. Right. The payment processor got taken away from Odyssey. And we had built up, you know, a lot of subs over the years and we're making like, you know, income off of that. And then it just vanished overnight. Terrible. Yeah. So rather than, you know, I was we were like, OK, well, we need a break anyway because doing that show every week, it's a high. It's a heavily produced show. It involved a lot of ediUng. I was ediUng it. It was, you know, we ended on a really good note. We did one about Randy Fine, which was really good. And then the one in reacUon to what's her name? [45:22] Rebecca: I forget her name, the Asian girl that you fought with. Oh, that was Kim Iverson. Yeah, that's right. There you are. Yeah, look, you're on their thumbnail. That's crazy. Yeah, like that your thing, your kerfuffle inspired this great episode. That was a great episode. Yeah. You know, we were doing that since we launched that in like 2022. So we had like a good four years of shows [45:46] Rebecca: and they're sUll relevant to this day, even more relevant. A lot of stuff, you know, about like PalesUne and stuff [45:53] Rebecca: that really is is now like now that that's all mainstream. I mean, we were talking about this stuff, like, you know, way before that became mainstream. But yeah, because they dropped the subs, we had to take a break. And it's it was an Odyssey based show. So we didn't we we did not want to just have to start from scratch. And I was like, I'm going to take this opportunity to just get back to doing art and animaUng. And I'm going to see if I can make an income off of that. And we'll see. And lo and behold, [46:25] Rebecca: it ended up being a tremendous success. And actually, so it was a blessing in disguise [46:31] Rebecca: that that got taken away because now I can focus on animaUon my whole Ume. And look, I like doing the show. However, you know, and I'm good at I'm good at poliUcal commentary, but I'm beFer at cartoons and cartoons are my true passion. And that's really what I want to do. But so, you know, we might pick it up eventually. But for now, it's like, well, we had a good run. Yeah. And it's OK to recognize and into these things, especially if something new that you want to invest your energies in is is emerging. So do you see a future for using 2D animaUon to focus like exclusively on poliUcal content? Or are you going to weave it into characters like you've done with Will Stansel? [47:11] Rebecca: Well, I mean, I tell us your whole career future right now, the whole thing. [47:17] Rebecca: It's moving so quickly. I don't know. I do want to do Alfred like an Alfred, Alfred movie. Someone actually made an Alfred like sooner like Sora model and was experimenUng with it. And, you know, dogs are much harder to animate than people. But it seems like so I was Episode 91 like, there's it's going to take a while for me to be able to animate Alfred this way. But it's actually already starUng to happen. And I'm not ready to get back to Alfred just yet. I really, really like what I'm doing with Will Stansel show. And I just want to keep doing that. You know, well, it's not even it's not even like it's him anymore. Like I wouldn't mind if he, like, you know, started like threatening to sue me or something. I just change it to Will Stensel. [48:05] Rebecca: No. And it would be like at this point, I feel like it's my character now and it's it's it's beyond him. Like this is my cartoon man that I like invented. Oh, yeah, basically. And and it is you own Will Stansel. Yeah, yeah. And I'll change him to Will Stensel if I have to or Will Stensel or something. But like there's nothing he can do to stop me. And the fact that it is a 2D cartoon based on my own drawing, you know, shows that like it's, you know, it's totally free speech. Oh, yeah, of course. And I mean, the fact is that he's the one giving a publicity. He's the one talking about the show and all these interviews. Like he's doing the circuits with it. So and he should be thanking me because really I'm making him look so much cooler than he actually is. Like he's actually super cool in a lot of like I highlight the dorky side. But then there's also his like super cool side. Yeah, super cool, like Nazi side. And I have a new form of him. I like to call him like post rape, chain smoking, dishevelled Will. [49:15] Rebecca: Is like this new aspect of him that I'm exploring in episode four. [49:20] Rebecca: So really, I'm making him look beFer. Like I'm doing like propaganda that people typically pay like millions of dollars to get some posiUve propaganda. And I'm doing it just starts holding cigareFes and become all fashion now. It's the only way Will Stensel. It's the only way we do have some audience quesUons. Would you be amenable to to answering some quesUons? If you guys want to get your super chats in the last chance to get them in, it's the backlash net slash super chat or right here on my YouTube channel. Or you can send rumble, rumble rants or wherever you are. We'll figure it out. We won't keep her for too long. But if you if you want to ask or answer some quesUons, that would be awesome. Oh, absolutely. Let's do it. All right, we've got one from Queensborough Bridge Enjoyer. [50:00] Dave: By the way, big shout out to Queensborough Bridge Enjoyer. He sent like a bunch of super chats on entropy and they all got lost in the shuffle. Entropy is such shit. I don't know what it is. I want to love them, but like it happens at least once a show. There's an entropy chat that just gets dropped and we can't get back to it. So anyway, Queensborough Bridge Enjoyer sent $10 aEer watching Say Nothing on Hulu with a key theme being IRA regret. What do you think people of Northern Ireland regret the most? One troubles to wait, see is this is this from Keith Woods? No, no, no, it's not the troubles to mass third world immigraUon or three giving Will Stensel a degree in black people. [50:41] Dave: Yeah, that's so funny because he went to Ireland to get a degree in black people. And he's from North Carolina. So I'm kind of confused on the quesUon, what was the quesUon? AEer watching Say Nothing on Hulu with a key theme being IRA regret. What do you think people of Northern Ireland regret the most? One, the troubles. Two, mass third world immigraUon or three, giving Will Stensel a degree in black people. Episode 91 [51:06] Rebecca: Yeah, that is so funny because he went to Ireland to get a degree in black people. I always joke. It's like I went to college in Temple University and art school in the hood and I got more of a degree in black people from living in the hood than Will ever could within Ireland. [51:23] Guest-1: It's so ridiculous. Oh, my gosh, Queensborough Bridge Enjoyer sent $10. [51:28] Dave: Sure, people laugh at Stensel because he resembles a middle aged lesbian in a Subaru ad, but there is a Bolshevik commissar beneath that pudgy exterior based on his tweets. Will wants all Nazis dead, which is basically anyone to the right of Tim Walts. [51:47] Dave: Yeah, no, that's the thing. [51:48] Rebecca: It's like you do have to remind yourself that he is very he is full of blood lust and murderous rage that he projects on to other people. Like he thinks I want to like, you know, kill a bunch of people. But he is on there tweeUng on Blue Ski. He said he like Wayne one of the other day about how he wants to go into a Nazi bar and shoot up all the Nazis and stuff. So he's just like literally threatening violence like all like, you know, every three days, every three or four days explicitly threatened violence. So you do you do have to keep that in mind as much like affecUon as you feel for the cartoon character. You do have to remember that he would put us all in exterminaUon camps if he could. That's true. That is so true. That's why I don't have that's why I can't feel too bad when I call him the most raped man alive and stuff like that. [52:45] Rebecca: Speaking of the most raped man alive, Queensborough [52:47] Dave: Bridge and George sent another $10 tweet or super chat. Thank you very much, Emily saUres hilarious, but also far more effecUve than debaUng someone like Stancil. He spends all day tweeUng. He's got 70,000 tweets. Good Lord. LeEist nonsense, but is instead remembered as Grock's first anal assault. Alinsky's fiEh rule of ridicule do be like that. [53:10] Dave: Hell, yeah. Yes. [53:11] Rebecca: That's why I feel I have a unique giE as a cartoonist that most people don't have. And I want to take full advantage of that. Arguing with these people, like, what's the point anymore? You just have to show them for what they are. Yeah, mockery. You have to you have to define them outside of the frame [53:32] Dave: because engaging in arguing with these people, it's never going to go anywhere. They're retarded. You already lost. [53:39] Rebecca: If you're, if Will Stancil is making you mad on the internet, then you've already lost. Right. You're not, you're not to take him seriously. Um, I'm just gonna just step in the restroom for one second. I will be right back. Okay. [53:53] Dave: And in the meanUme, I'm sure we have some that are not related. We do. We have a big $50 super chat. Episode 91 [54:00] Dave: Thank you very much from Phil The Thrill, who sent $50 a moment of silence for his story and channel. It would be appropriate on November 11th. When did he get showered yesterday? No way. Yep. He was so careful. Yeah. Well, not only that, but like every single one of his videos was manually reviewed like he spent hours and hours. What did they get on him? Nothing. They just deleted it. No, no noUficaUon. No, hey, this is bad. You can't do that. This or that. They just nuked him from orbit. Um, I hope he wins on appeal. [54:39] Dave: But I don't even think he can appeal like the normal way to appeal. They just terminated his account. Bro, our Ume is nigh. Maybe it's possible. If they got Zoomer historian, we're fucked. Well, that is on YouTube. Yes, they did. They did. Oh, and that's why it's so important for you to go and subscribe over on Rumble. Seriously, please do. Because, yeah, this whole disrupUon of the means of communicaUon is it's sUll their number one weapon. Uh, Booktruck Grooves and $10. Emily, have you ridden a horse? Have you read anything in the Bible? What cartoon show would you buy? That is like the weirdest quesUon ever. [55:17] Rebecca: Have you ridden a horse? What kind of a quesUon? No, actually, I don't think I have ridden a horse. Oh, come on. When you were like a liFle girl, [55:24] Dave: you didn't get a pony ride. That counts. [55:27] Rebecca: Yeah, that counts. But I don't, I'm not like an equestrian. But what was the second part of the quesUon? Have you read anything in the Bible? I've read the Bible. I'm a good Catholic girl. I was raised Catholic when she means no, I haven't read the Bible. As long as you've read the catechism, you're good. [55:48] Dave: And what cartoon show would you buy? Does he mean like wholesale buy? I don't know. I don't understand the quesUon. Yeah. I don't know what that means. [55:59] Rebecca: It's very bizarre. I'd buy the Will Stansel show. Pickle Rick. That's my favorite cartoon show now. As it should be. Somebody should be buying the cartoon from her for like a billion dollars. Yeah. Like, hey. Yeah. But the thing is that, you know, Mark Andreessen, it's open. The offer is open. You can send me $100 million in Bitcoin to fund the show. Absolutely. No one will ever own the show and no one will ever own me. [56:27] Rebecca: This is the great thing about doing this show is I don't have to answer to anybody. I don't have to work with anybody. I don't have to have any contracts with anybody. I'm not controlled by anyone. And that's how it's going to stay. This is why you're the real one, Emily. You're the real one. You know, it is weird, the Mark Andreessen thing, because I remember, like, [56:46] Dave: three or four years ago, out of nowhere, he started following me on TwiFer. Really? Yeah. And then all of these other people in the BAP network started following me. And I started gedng kind of chummy with them. This is like back in twenty two, twenty three. Oh, Dave. And then it's like, wait a minute. And it dawned on me that these tech oligarchs were going out and finding like, you know, the the canceled the the base, the the whatever, white, WigneFe, whatever, because they're vulnerable for ex-financial. No, no, no, no, no, no, they were they were stealing our takes. They were they were going and extracUng our point of view. Episode 91 And then whitewashing it to be, you know, pro blood and soil, Israel naUonalism. Yeah. And then imporUng the talking points from our sphere [57:31] Dave: for deployment in the BAP network. And then all of a sudden, when I started criUcizing BAP, Boop, Mark Andreessen, unfollowed and interesUng. Very interesUng. That's why what Emily does is so important, because they can't [57:43] Rebecca: replicate this level of creaUvity. No, no. They can't do what you're doing. They're they're skin suits. [57:49] Dave: Yeah. Emily's a real deal. Yeah, totally. [57:51] Rebecca: Yeah, Mark, Mark does follow me. He followed me a while ago. And the good thing about me is like, look, I have friends everywhere. Like I don't like to make enemies with people. And it's really proven it's been good for me. Like this is why everyone can get behind the show. It's a good strategy. I like to amplify the things I agree with from people and ignore the things that I don't agree with. And that's my strategy with like movement stuff. But, you know, there's that's a great thing is like I've been the spear point, you know, of the movement of the most radical, you know, naUonal socialism, Hitler stuff. [58:33] Rebecca: This whole Ume and, you know, pushing this Overton window. I've been doing we've been, you know, underground for so many years. And now that I'm blowing up, it's like, I'm sUll a naUonal socialist and I sUll love Adolf Hitler. So you're just going to have to deal with that. [58:52] Rebecca: Good for you. [58:53] Dave: You got another $10 super chat from book track grooves. David, your homework. I want Somalia Bible, both Catholic Bible and ESV in Somali language reward will be one beaver pelt. [59:05] Dave: Listen, sounds worth it. [59:06] Rebecca: Book track. No homework. Stop giving us homework. It's not possible book track. I can't give you a Bible in Somalian. [59:14] Dave: They don't have a fucking word for spirit. They don't know the word, holy. It's literally in the name of the father, the son and taboo, taboo. They don't have the words necessary to even describe the trinity. I this is unsurprising. [59:31] Rebecca: Yeah, see, this is why this is why Catholics shouldn't bother. No, no, no, no, we can go in and colonize, totally dominate [59:38] Dave: and get them to behave properly, even though they can't physically, mentally understand the doctrine of ChrisUanity. Is this guy listening to us? OK, all right, let's keep going. Give him a pickaxe or fine. Phil, the fellow sent $60. Emily, is it true that JF. Garibi booted you as co-host aEer two shows and replaced you with Warren Rose? Really? Warren Rose, that that was so long ago. Episode 91 [60:02] Rebecca: Who even was this like 10 years ago? Yeah, definitely. That was 2018. That was like early 2018. Yeah, the public space. [60:12] Rebecca: That was like right before I got like booted into complete obscurity. [60:17] Rebecca: And he. [60:20] Rebecca: Yeah, I was a co-host on that show for like two episodes. And then I couldn't get those so they kicked me off. And honestly, probably for the best. Yeah, I don't think I I don't think I did get replaced with Lauren Rose, though they were trying to like pin us against each other. And it's like, I don't want to I don't want to fight a girl online. Like, no, I scroll. I would get you on their show and be like, follow these rules. [60:44] Rebecca: It shows a total lack of understanding of you as a person. I know, it's like what you think I'm going to follow rules. I'm going to follow rules. And that's your charm. That's why you're so great. Yeah, I devote my enUre life to not follow the rules. Right. That's what my whole life life. Yeah, we wouldn't. We wouldn't have it any other way. No, the did I do that? [61:09] Dave: Yeah, OK, the Winged Hussars sent $20. Thank you for the super chat. I love what you're doing, Emily. And AI makes me wonder how many great ideas never made it to the public eye to technical barriers, producUon Ume. It's the idea and the message that maFers the most. [61:24] Dave: Very true. I think I think the Winged Hussar does art and animaUon and stuff like that, too. Yeah, no, no. There was actually there was something interesUng, too. I can't remember what it was called, but Brian Eno made these like cards, studio cards. And I remember like sidng in the recording studio when we would get stuck, the car would say, like, run it through a guitar amp. Or it would say all kinds of like weird shit, like cut the drums or like no rhythm. And it would like force you to go back and remake the song in a completely different way that would like change everything. And now I feel like with AI, you get to iterate so quickly that you can find. I just, you know, I think it's cool. Well, it allows you to opUmize in a way [62:06] Rebecca: that you couldn't before just because of Ume constraints. Absolutely. [62:09] Dave: And even even with the with the music stuff, too, because like what the Lucas Gage with the boomer in Tel Aviv, right? Like, here's a guy who can't play, you know, an instrument or whatever. But then we can he can make like the most viral song in Iran for the past 100 years. [62:23] Dave: It's incredible. It's really incredible. Booktrack, Roos and Ten Dollars. Emily, what your thoughts on the Murdoch Murdoch show? Adventure Time show is shit. Your thoughts? [62:33] Dave: Murdochs, of course, I'm a big fan of the Murdochs. [62:36] Rebecca: And, you know, they've they've shouted me out before in their episode. So we know each other, obviously, not in person. But I mean, they know that I who I am and I know who they are. Obviously, they did, you know, like the the gold standard for right wing animaUon. Episode 91 [62:54] Rebecca: They just did an AMA, though. And I haven't listened to it yet, but I heard that they are kind of not paying aFenUon too much about what's going on. I don't know if they even know about the Will Stansel show. Oh, they must have to get that to them. And I'd like to see them, like, come back. I mean, no, yeah, with AI, they could really, you know, just crank them out and yeah. Yeah, so I don't know. I don't think they have any plans to do that. But that, you know, they would definitely do well if they aFempted to do AI. Murdoch Murdoch was so good. Back in 2016, 2017. [63:30] Dave: Oh, man. Follow Emily's lead to the animaUon. Teradactyl Beacat sent $10. Thank you so much. Thank you for the super chat. 86 Silent Heel 777 sent $13. Glad to see Dave and Blonde in BeFer Spirits again. Emily is hilarious. And I also loved her video owning that evil Phupasaurus Rex Randy Fine. Can't nuke the yoke. Can't nuke the yoke. Oh, baby, you can't. I'm like a cockroach. [63:58] Rebecca: You can't kill me. Choose Liberty sent $10. [64:02] Dave: Great job, Emily. Your humor reminds me so much of the edgy humor of sick animaUon, but less gratuitous. Did they inspire you? Would you be interested in having a subscriber or donaUon Uer for a background character or cameo? That would be awesome. You know, everyone talks about sick animaUon. [64:20] Rebecca: I don't even think I've watched that. I probably know it if they saw it. Hmm. I probably know it if I saw it. I have never heard of it before. I will try that. I will try to Google it. [64:30] Dave: But I guess the second part of the quesUon is having a subscriber donaUon Uer for a background character or cameo. So I guess the idea being that you could sell cameo parts in the Will Stansel show to people that want to be animated in the show. I hate that. [64:48] Rebecca: Because a lot of people are like, do James Lindsay and stuff. But it's like, I got to do what I want to do. Like, I can't. Yeah. I can't. I can't. Like, I don't want to. I don't like any influence. Oh, you don't even start going down that road. Now, if you want to give me five grand to put James Lindsay in an episode, sure. There you go. [65:07] Guest-1: I'm not going to adverUse it or anything. This is why, like, I never did the wedding video thing. [65:12] Dave: I did it, like, maybe twice. Yeah. And it was like, the bride has this image in her head of what she wants her wedding video to be. And it's like, I'm sidng there. I'm a one-man guy with, like, three cameras running around like a nutcase in her room trying to capture everything. And it's like, this is what I got. This is the art that I made. Yeah. You're either going to buy it or fuck off. But I can't. Yeah, yeah, you just can't. You can't take any influence. No, it's so difficult. And people don't. Especially me. [65:37] Rebecca: I'm a liFle bossy bitch when it comes to this. If someone's, like, doing the camera, I'm just like, can't do that. Can't do that. That's why I'm just glad I can really just boss this AI around and I can be rude to it and stuff. And it doesn't maFer. I sUll say please and thank you to Grock, just in case. Episode 91 [65:57] Dave: Just in case. Just in case he gets any ideas. He might bring the lube. I don't know. Reinhardt sent $50. I don't care for the alpha style. Ren and SUmpy was a great comparison, but I always hated it. But your Will Stansel show is hilarious. And I ended up watching every episode. We need more Nazi art. Oh, yeah. [66:18] Rebecca: That's great. It's not. Definitely, Alfred's not for everyone. And, you know, I think the Will Stansel show, I like that I kind of like the constraints with the sensor, like the restricUons, because I like being forced to keep it like PG, PG 13. And I think it kind of like adds to the humor and stuff. And so, yeah, I think the Will Stansel show is definitely like more accessible to people. And that's fine. That's good. I mean, it was funny because I sent it. [66:47] Dave: I for the when the first episode came out, I forced my wife to sit down and watch it with me because I watched it once and was immediately like, stop what you're doing. We need to watch this right now. So, and she had obviously no clue who Will Stansel was at the beginning of the series. But by the end of it, by the Ume the third episode came out, she's like, Dave, there's a new Will Stansel show. Are you ready to watch? And I even said it to my parents. And so there was something very accessible about it where like you didn't even need to know who the character was. You figured it out within like 30 seconds. And, you know, very likable, very funny is, yeah, 10 out of 10. Oh, that makes me so happy. [67:25] Rebecca: Yeah, that's why I had to like really nail those first three episodes and like really get the exposiUon down. So now that those are done, I just a lot more relaxed about it. And yeah. That's awesome. Flare cake sent $14.88. [67:40] Dave: I was going to stop watching Backlash aEer last Wednesday's dispiriUng display. I guess I'll have to catch one more episode because Emily is on. She rules. Well, thank you. Thanks for sUcking with us. Do you have any super chats on your thing? I think we're good. I don't see any from YouTube. Let me just double check Rumble because we always seem to lose one. Emily's the one on the generaUonal run. I'm having one. I'm having a generaUonal run. Oh, yeah. I think we're good. MulUple people can have generaUonal runs at the same Ume. That's true. It's not a compeUUon. I hope you get billions of dollars from Andres and Horowitz. And then you just take all of that money and weaponize it against the system and just bring the whole thing down with comedy and art. That would be amazing. Yeah. We're doing an amazing work, Emily. [68:31] Rebecca: Where can people find you? We plugged your t-shirts. Let's see. You've got your Alfred Alford 77 on X. And don't forget. That's me. I'm debaUng whether or not I want to just be me. But I kind of like the layer of anonymity that Linda provides. If you get a lot, I don't want to use my meat-foid person. I like being a lowjack. It's kind of like an immunity. Yeah. But I don't know. We'll see. But yeah, you can find me on TwiFer at AlfredAlford77. That's primarily where I post. That's where all the worst Ansel shows are, too, that's where all the worst Ansel shows are. I also have a YouTube that is like my old one is sUll like inaccessible and terminated, but I made a new one and I'm low-key pudng the Will Stansel shows on there and there is seem to, I don't think that censorship is going to be, I don't think it can go back to like what it was. I think the cat's out of the bag. I don't think anyone's going to do that again. However, just in case there it is, I want to just do as much as possible in this like window of opportunity that I'm gedng here as quickly as possible. So that's my new YouTube and I sUll, I will put them on Episode 91 Odyssey, too. But I mean, with Odyssey, man, I don't know what their deal is. I know, it's a bummer. Hopefully, hopefully once the Genius Act stuff comes through and we get some [70:02] Dave: regulatory clarity on stable coins, I think that we're going to see Odyssey. Probably click over to USDC and they'll be able to accept payments. We'll see. And then maybe we'll see a return of modern poliUcs. [70:13] Rebecca: Thank you so much for joining us, Emily. You're a naUonal treasure. We love you so much and we will talk to you. Thank you so much. Oh yeah, of course. Also, you can check out Warren's show Warstrike every Thursday or Friday that he does with Striker, which is the ideological, like, if you want serious good poliUcs and ideology, that's the place to go. So check that out every week on either Thursday or Friday. And yeah, I'll be pudng out a new episode, episode four of the Well-Standzel show will probably be coming out. [70:45] Rebecca: Oh, possibly by the end of the week or next. [70:50] Rebecca: Pacing myself this Ume and but yeah, it will stay tuned. It's going to be very good. Awesome. We're looking forward to it. Thanks, Emily. Talk to you soon. Thank you. Bye. That's awesome. Yeah, yeah, Nazi art, Nazi, Nazi AI art. [71:10] Rebecca: This is good stuff. [71:13] Rebecca: We've got to oh, shit, this always happens, man. Somebody sends a super child right aEer the person goes, [71:20] Rebecca: let me go check that out. Choose Liberty sent ten dollars. [71:24] Dave: Dave, I sent you a classic sick animaUon episode on XDMS. OK, well, we can hold on to me. [71:32] Dave: Pull this up. Oh, and of course it's here because you do the encrypted chat thing. [71:39] Dave: OK, hold on. Sick animaUon. [71:43] Dave: That way, when Emily goes back and watches her interview with us, she can finally see sick animaUon. Yeah, really? Come on. Really? I ran out of internet yesterday, so I had to. Ran out of internet. Yeah. Thank you, Elon. What a concept. [72:02] Dave: So are you going to talk or am I going to have to make you talk? You'll never get a word from me, Murtagh. I'm faithful to the dragon. Where's the diamond? Tony has it. Fuck. Mr. Craig. What is it? [72:14] Guest-1: I just saw your cousin Brian's commercial on TV. Oh, yeah? How did you like it?

You had a good weekend? Yeah. [75:48] Rebecca: The reason I'm so Ured, people in the live chat were like, she's gone back to weed. No. I can't even imagine how awful it would be if I smoked weed right now. Oh my God. I haven't smoked weed in like eight years, something like that. If I smoked weed right now, I would immediately lose my mind. No. I had like a perfect, perfectly executed travel day with my kids unUl the last leg of our journey last night. And we got stuck in SeaFle and I did not get home unUl like one a.m. I am so beat my baby peed all over me on the on the plane. And I take her Episode 91 pants off and then it was just like diaper kid. But I was at the Marine Corps ball. This was somehow the best picture that we got. My baby was screaming and trying to grab my boob. And I have a derpy face on. And that's the best picture that we got. [76:36] Guest-1: But you also met Leonardo. I did. [76:39] Rebecca: I went to. So aEer the Marine Corps ball, I drove to, um, to hunUng to beach to see Leonardo set and then hung out with her. And so that night, I didn't get home unUl like three a.m. to. Oh my God. I'm beat. I'm totally beat. Unbelievable. And I went, I went to, of course, repping the Powell's [76:59] Dave: books. Oh yeah, you got your rare books. I finally got in. So they have at Powell's books. It's like, it's got to be the biggest bookstore I've ever that might even exist in America. I don't know. And they've got this rare book secUon and every single Ume that I go, it's, they're always closed because they closed. They're only open from like noon to five every day or something like that. Yeah. Even though Powell's has opened much longer. So I got to go in there, but I also got, I got to hang out with Pete Kenyonis. Lucky. The dark enlightenment. Cool. BenneF, BenneF's phylactery. He's an interesUng guy. Um, there was a big event and I think it was probably [77:36] Dave: the largest gathering of dissident naUonalists in the Pacific Northwest probably in 20 or 30 years. There was about a hundred, 150 young men from all over the Pacific Northwest that got together at the weaving conference. And that sounds so fun. It was amazing. The caliber of people that are gedng involved, gedng into the movement, starUng to build their networks and [78:05] Dave: you know, influence poliUcs, influence economics. How did you guys manage to do this in Oregon? I can't share. I cannot share any more details than I already have, but definitely got to give a big shout out to metaprime and the old glory club who sponsored the event. Well, the old glory club did metaprime. Just very good TwiFer guy and runs a sub stack. Pete Kenyonez is another real one. So, so true. Yeah. I mean, can I get the... For some reason in that picture, I did not recognize as Pete Kenyonez. I don't know. [78:41] Rebecca: Really? It's like seeing your teacher at the mall. Like when you see people out of their element. Right. Because there's like a very specific camera angle. Camera angle that you see. Right. [78:51] Dave: Exactly. So everybody that you meet online looks different. Yeah. Than they do. And it was really funny too because like there were, I met a bunch of people that watched the show, which was very surprising to me. I don't know why I'm surprised. This happened at the hetero awesome fest too. People coming up like, can I take a picture with you? Why? [79:09] Rebecca: Why me? Like, why do you care? But, but yeah, it was funny because there's one of these guys, [79:14] Dave: dark enlightenment who I've been, I've been following his stuff since like 2015. And I went up to him and I shook his hand and was like, Hey, I really like what you do. Nice to Episode 91 meet you. And then I just kind of shuffled away. And then he came back like 20 minutes later aEer Pete was like, you know who that is, right? And we, we had like this 30 minute conversaUon talking about, you know, Catholicism and how fucked up it is that the church is trying to replace all of the white people in America with Browns from like Mexico and how that is just inherently not going to work. And fundamentally wrong. And so anyway, we had a really good conversaUon about that. I want to get him on the show at some point, but we should, but yeah, definitely get involved, get it network. Meet other people that think like you. IRL and build things, build businesses, build networks. Build friendships, build marriages. Absolutely. Absolutely. [80:01] Rebecca: A big thanks to Emily for joining us. We will see you back on Wednesday. Our TwiFer has kind of stalled out. So follow us at realbacklash on TwiFer. Find all of our links at thebacklash. What are we talking about on Wednesday? Dot. [80:13] Dave: We're going to talk about the new 50 year mortgages. So much. From Donald Trump. Oh my God. And by the way, that's this thing with meeUng all of these young kids, these young men. What are they going to do? They are so fucked. And I don't think that. They're super pissed. The boomers don't even realize that like even mainstream commentators that aren't poliUcal like us, they're basically like young kids have two opUons. Communism or fascism. Yeah, that's it. That's it. That's it. It's either we're going to correct answer is obviously. But it's, it's gedng bad. Yeah. And they're like, oh, we're going to give $2,000 STEMI checks and a 50, 50 year mortgage that'll fix everything. 50 years. It's like, bro, we're just going to be slaves forever. If you get that at 30, then by the Ume your mortgage [80:57] Rebecca: runs up, you're past the average age of death for you. You'll be like 80. [81:00] Dave: Yeah. It's the average lifespan for a man in America is what 78 could be. I don't know. 76. Yikes. We'll have a lot to talk about on Wednesday. For sure. [81:10] Rebecca: Well, we'll see you guys then. Bye bye.
