From Gimlet, this is Reply All. I'm PJ Vote. And I'm out at school. Welcome once again to yes, yes, no, the segment on our show, where our boss Alex Bloomberg, who, you know, he's aging out of being with it and hip, comes to us and says, I don't really get what's going on on this thing on the internet, and then we explain it to him. Hi, Alex.

Hello. Do you feel like my characterization of you was mean or incorrect? Those are your two options. No, sadly, it was mean and correct. So, do you have something for us? I do. So, all right, so here's a tweet from somebody named Rich Lotex Kianca. Uh-huh.

At Richard Kianca. And it says, Antifa Super Soldier Update, all in caps. My cumbersome mech suit is too large to fit through the door to Arbys. No comprehension. PJ Moat, do you understand this tweet? It's got 237 likes and 47 retweets. No, I do not understand this tweet. Alex Bloomberg, do you understand this tweet?

I do not understand this tweet. Alex Goldman, do understand this tweet? I do. What is going on? All right. It's falling to you, my friend. All right, so you guys know what Antifa is, right? I do.

I do, but I can use, a little refresher, actually. How much do you understand Antifa? I know that they are opposite fascists. Yes, like against against. And in fact, anti. Yes. That's what the anti stands for.

Antifa is basically a loose coalition of groups around the country that tend to show up at protests wearing all black, sometimes holding shields, often covering their faces with masks or bandanas and the thing that sets them apart from most protesters is that some of them are willing to be violent. So their belief is like we're not going to like just march and stuff like to fight fascism. You have to be willing to actually fight. The like should people punch Nazis thing. It's like a political movement that's like yes, yes, we should punch Nazis. And because Antifa is willing to be violent at protests and because they dress in like this menacing outfit to certain parts of the right wing they've become the boogeyman for any and every bad thing that happens in the world.

Like when the shooting in Texas happened this month, there were people on like sort of not Breitbart, but like Mike Sernovich and like GamerGady, like, alt-right internet, where like the shooter was Antifa. This is an Antifa plot. Like they're kind of like constantly, it's like one of the menaces that they're sure is always about to show up at their door. Got it, got it, got it.

Okay. All right. Okay. So that's good. So I know what Antifa is now. You're now, we're now through the first word. We've got the word. We've got the first word down. So this tweet is in reference to something that has sort of spun out over the course of the past couple months. There's this group of left-winger that's called refuse fascism. And it's run by this guy named Bobavakian.

I have not heard of either of those things. So Bobavakian was kind of well known in the 70s and 80s as like a political organizer. He is this communist guy. He publishes books. He does these really long lectures. he describes himself as a poetic revolutionary. But most people have no idea who he is. And he is definitely not part of Antifa. So on August 5th, Bob Avakian posts this thing on his website that says, this nightmare must end, the Trump-Pence regime must go.

And basically he says he wants to take to the streets in cities across the U.S. and continue protesting until the Trump administration is removed from power. He's calling for. And this massive protest he called for probably would have come and gone and no one would have noticed it. But it caught the eye of this conservative YouTuber named Jordan Peltz. He posted this YouTube video that was called Antifa Has to Go. Here, you can take a look. Good morning, everyone.

He is not a police officer, but he dresses like a police officer. I usually don't make posts, especially blogs like this. but there's been a number of things that have happened over the last seven days. He wears like the chest-mounted walkie-talkie that cops talk into, and he's sitting in his not police car. But it looks like a police car. Uh-huh. Like it has the divider in behind the seats.

And he's got like a big star. Like a fake sheriff's star. And like the... Just so we're clear, the star on his shirt... Is printed on his shirt. It's printed on his shirt. Oh, no, I have death perception fully. And so Jordan's video...

is all about these November 4th protests. But Jordan's not describing a protest. He's describing like an all-out war. And he's replaced the name of Babavakian's group refused fascism with Antifa. Antifa's next step. On their website, they are calling for an open civil war that they will start here in the United States in November.

They are fundraising for weapons, training, ammunition, supplies. He also has a massive rifle, behind him. Yes. And all this stuff about like an armed insurrection. Like Bob Vakin was not saying that. Absolutely not. So Jordan Peltz makes this video and it starts taking off.

And then this thing gets even bigger because this Facebook group called Our Vets Before Illegals posted this like distilled version of the Peltz video with a bunch of menacing music behind it and they cut in scenes from violent Antifa protest. Honestly, if our leaders and our leadership isn't going to step up and finish this, we have to. So that got viewed 3.1 million times. And then the fears around this uprising on November 4th are exacerbated when in late September some of the members of Babavakian's group refused fascism. The original group. Right. And I'm talking like maybe eight or nine people go, they block traffic on the L.A. free

way holding, you know like when you're at the, you know when you're at like a sporting event and people hold individual letters to spell out something. There says November 4th, it begins. Whoa. So they shut down traffic. They all get arrested, but that is that is another sign. Yes. And then this argument that Antifa is trying to start a civil war, it starts to spread. Like Alex Jones, the Info Wars guy, he picks it up and talks about how this violent group of people are now planning this. big revolution. Antifa plans civil war to overthrow government, and they're handing out AK-47s, shanks. They're planning their attacks on public officials, police. Meanwhile, lefty Twitter people, they like get wind of the fact that suddenly the right wing is very scared that there's going to be this huge uprising. And they think it's hilarious. Right. And their favorite thing to do if somebody on the right is really scared about something is to just like mess with them. Yeah. So they start making jokes about how ridiculous this thing is. They tweet stuff like, Like, do you remember the beginning of the real world, the TV show?

Yeah. It was like on November 4th, millions of Antifa Super Soldiers are going to stop being polite and start getting real. And the one that really made an actual, actually surprising impact was this Twitter goof, who goes by the name Crang T. Nelson, tweeted, Can't wait for November 4th when millions of Antifa Super Soldiers will behead all white. parents and small business owners in the town square. Okay. But what happened is that people who thought that Antifa was actually going to have an uprising on November 4th, they took these jokes very seriously. Oh, really?

And another pretty fringy right-wing website, this website called Gateway Pundit, they reported on these joke tweets. As real. As real. They were saying left-wing, Antifa threatens to overthrow the government, and they would have a a bunch of these tweets where people were making goofs. It's like the actual exaggerated fear and the mock exaggerated fear have like literally met and are fully overlapping.

They totally are. So like, that's wild. And there are videos on YouTube of concerned armed citizens planning on how to defend against Antifa. November 4th is coming. Are you ready? Are you ready for what's going to happen on November 4th? Go home.

clean your rifles, load up your magazines, make sure your food preps and your water preps, your medical supplies, make sure everything's in order. You want a war with us? Bring it off. That's all I like to say. Honestly, I'm happy. I'm happy. Dude, we've been on the verge of the Great War or whatever for what seems like forever.

And I'm just ready to get it going. So as this sort of anxiety continues, this starts sort of going more. more mainstream. Okay. And then the morning of November 4th, Fox News does a piece on it. Oh, no. Yeah. Oh, my God, it's Fox and Friends.

Antifa Apocalypse? The group known as Antifa, anti-fascists, they're going to be holding one of 20 protests being held across the country. The group Antifa refuse fascism is planning 20 rallies across the country to try to drive President Trump and Vice President Mike Pence drive them from power using violence. Oh my God. So the giant Chiron is Antifa plans to overthrow president.

Wow. What? And like the other thing that's crazy about this is like Donald Trump loves Fox and Freds. Like he tweets about it all the time. He seems to watch it most mornings. Like he probably saw this story. Do you think that the president of the president of? the United States thinks that this was really going to happen?

Yes, I do. He said after Charlottesville, like, something that people didn't totally, like... It didn't even occur to me. But, of course. When they asked him to, like, denounce the white supremacist, he was like, and he was like, oh, there's bad guys on both sides. He was talking about Antifa. Like, he actually clarified a couple days later when he was doubling down on his comments.

He was like, Antifa. Like, that's... He lives in a news reality where, like, there's a left-wing militia that's, like, organizing the overthrow of the state. And where that tweet, Krang's tweet, which is sort of like, we're coming to behead white people and small business owners, is real.

Yeah. So on the morning of November 4th, all the Twitter goofs wake up and immediately start tweeting things like, hey, Antifa Super Soldiers, I've got a bunch of PBM in my wagon. We're going to meet down at so-and-so and start beheading white people.

What do you say? And like, there were a lot of jokes to that effect. And so what ended up actually happening is that a lot of the armed preppers from the YouTube videos, they like went out anticipating an Antifa civil war. And of course, that's not what they found because that didn't exist. What they found was like in a couple cities, there were some normal protests, people holding signs, banging drums, saying, hey, hey, ho, ho, Trump and Pence have got to go.

And so all these armed people who were anticipating this violence. Island Antifa uprising, their takeaway was like, well, yeah, of course. The reason that Antifa didn't show up is because we scared them away. Wow. That is so crazy. All right. I think I'm ready to, I think I'm ready to recap, everyone. Okay.

All right. All right. Here it goes. The tweet again, Rich, low-tax Kianca says, Antifa Super Soldier Update, colon, my cumbersome mecksuit is too large to fit through the door to Arbys. Okay, so I'm assuming a mex suit is sort of like, a soldier suit or something? It's a giant robot from anime that you can run around in.

Oh, cool. Okay, great. Okay, so anyway, this tweet, I now know that this tweet is in response to the armed uprising by Antifa on November 4th that many people believed was going to happen, but was actually never going to happen because it was just the idea of like some rando who nobody takes seriously, but then it got picked up and blown out of proportion. and he's talking about that whole thing. And he imagines a world in which there was an actual armed uprising. And he was one of the super soldiers.

And he's sending out an update that he couldn't come to the war because his mex suit got stuck at the door of Arby's. We're at yes, yes, yes. Coming up after the break, we get stuck in some buffalo. Hey, fellas, here's a tweet. Mm-hmm. Okay. We should call this segment, hey, fellas, here's a tweet.

That is a catchier name than yes, yes, no. Okay, so this one is interesting because it's got like a lot of things that I sort of half know, but then they're all in the way of things sort of like mashed together in a way I find confusing. Like you know the words, but then when you arrange the words together. I know the words, and I even know some of the words that are certain memes, because you've explained them to me on previous yes yes knows, but now they're coming back in like new and confusing forms. That's the way of things.

All right. So here's the tweet. It's from Brian Feldman. Quote, constable frozen milkshake duct for being horny on Maine, end quote. Is 2017's, quote, Buffalo, Buffalo, Buffalo, Buffalo, Buffalo, Buffalo, Buffalo, Buffalo, Buffalo, Buffalo, end quote. Alex Goldman, do you understand what this tweet means? Yes. PJ Vote.

Do you understand this tweet? Mostly, yes. Alex Bloomberg, do you understand this tweet? No. No. Okay. We're back at yes-yes now. Yeah.

We're back in the comfortable place. Familiar territory. Before we start, do you guys know the Buffalo, Buffalo, Buffalo? That's the part I don't know. So Buffalo, written nine times with what three, with three that are capitalized, is a grammatically correct sentence using a bunch of different uses of the word Buffalo. Oh, so it's like Buffalo. the animal eight times.

Buffalo the animal. Buffalo to intimidate. Buffalo, the city in New York. If you rate it, the sentence construction is like... The first three actually makes sense to me. The next five, you kind of lose me a little bit. Right. I mean, there's more to it than that, and it's actually very complex.

But the whole choke of it is that this is, even though this looks like gibberish, this is an actual sentence. I'm not moving forward until I understand the sentence. Yes. Oh, my God. Buffalo Buffalo, animals that call themselves buffalo, the animals called buffalo from the city of Buffalo. That's a Buffalo Buffalo, Buffalo. So like New York Bison.

Yes. So, okay, so it's Buffalo Buffalo, which are Buffalo from the city of Buffalo that intimidate that the animals from the city of Buffalo bully. So that Buffalo, Buffalo, Buffalo. Wait. Oh, my God. Wait, Buffalo, Buffalo. So it's animals.

So Buffalo from Buffalo. Bison from New York. I feel like we've been here for a thousand years and this is just hell. The buffalo. Like we'd never get out of the sentence. Wait, but then I'm like, the third buffalo, I'm still confused. Okay. So the third buffalo is, again, describing New York State Buffalo.

Oh, this is so painful. Got it. So the, all right, think of it this way. You have to draw this for it to make sense. Alex's explanation, by the way, so far as, okay, so Buffalo from the city of Buffalo, swindle Buffalo. Okay. So Buffalo from the city of Buffalo.

All right. You just literally keep doing the first three Buffalo. Just hold on a second. I can't. Hold on a second. Get to the fifth Buffalo. Let's start with the first two. No.

Think of the first two as their own independent thing. The first two are Buffalo from the city of Buffalo. I got that. New York Vice. That was well established. The second three Buffalo are. The second three words, Buffalo are. The first two and the first two and,

And then the second three? The second three describe their own clause, which is, so it's Buffalo, Buffalo, Buffalo, Buffalo, that Buffalo, Buffalo from the city of Buffalo, bully. What are you doing? Are buffaloing buffaloes from Buffalo, New York? That's the last three. I'm just going to pretend that makes sense to me. so we can move on. I'm sorry that I wanted to know this.

I know. It doesn't make sense to me. Okay. So what we know is that the Buffalo thing is a joke about words. Right. And how one word can mean a lot of things and you can use it over and over again.

So allegedly, this sentence that is just the word Buffalo eight times is an actual grammatically correct sentence about bison from New York, swindling other bison from New York. Oh, now I understand what's going on. Because the first sentence in this tweet, Constable, Frozen,

milkshake duct for being horny on Maine seems like a bunch of words, but it also connotes meaning. I think that's what's going on here. Yes. Oh. But we still have a ways to go. So Alex, just going through the first part, Constable Frozen Milkshake Duked for being horny on Maine, I know that you know

some of these things. I know milkshake duct. And do you want to do a refresher on that? Milkshake duct is how is a term that means when the Internet loves you for a second and then it turns on you. Yes. Yes. Okay. Much like the milkshake duck. Yes. In the tweet that originated

the phrase milkshake duck, there is a premise that there's a cute duck that drinks milkshakes, and then you find out that the milkshake duck is racist. Yes. Right. So like this, the tweet that we're talking about refers to, for lack of a better word, a scandal that erupted a couple weeks ago. Alex, have you seen Frozen? Yes. I have kids. Well, actually, my kids won't ever watch the whole thing through because they're afraid of everything. So they can't... It's too scary for them. Is Frozen scary?

No. What is it about? Yeah, there's two princesses, Anna and Elsa. And they grew up in the castle together in the happy land, but then their parents go off on a voyage, and then they are a shipwrecks,

and they die. And then the one with the powers is like can't... isn't allowed to hang out with the one without powers. Then when she finally lets... She runs away, and then she finally lets...

she rips off her gloves, and that's when she sings her signature song. Let it go. Let it go. Don't hold it back anymore. Let it go. The cold never bothered me anyway. Is it like a queen song? No, we're just not very good singers.

It sounds like a queen song. Okay. So basically, like, the point is the internet really likes Frozen. The internet really likes Elsa. And it being the internet, there's like a lot of, there's a lot of people. taking Elsa and putting her in weird situations. So there's like a whole genre of YouTube video that is like adults dressing up as Elsa and pretending to be pregnant. There's like Elsa pregnant with her husband Spider-Man stuff.

It's just like once you hit a certain level of entering into people's imaginations, like things start to happen. Elsa imagining Elsa pregnant? Yes. Like that's like the weird edge of it. There's in like the less weird version of it, there's this really popular Tumblr. blog called Constable Frozen, which is made by this unknown person who loves Frozen, and it's just good at these, like, super meticulous Photoshop's where they'll take characters from Frozen like Elsa and put them into other movies and things like that, just like, what if Elsa was everywhere?

And people go crazy for it, like tens of thousands of notes, which is Tumblr's version of just likes or retweets or whatever. Got it. There's also, like, a bunch where there's, like, Elsa crossing over into different Disney franchises. There's a lot of frozen Moana crossovers that this person made. My daughter was also afraid of that one. She also got too scared with that one when she was sailing across the sea. And there's a lava monster that she has to fight.

That feels reasonable. But like, and so she was literally doing the same thing, which she always does. She was scaring and telling us to turn it off. But then we would go to turn it off. She would be like, no, no. And so then she was just sort of like crying and like turning away and then not letting us turn it off and not wanting to leave the room. And she was like in that state of like crying, not wanting us to turn off, But also not wanting to leave the room for like a good half an hour.

And then she defeated the Lava Monster and then she sang her song. And then Samira was so overwhelmed that she just started weeping. But she was standing in front of the TV, like singing along with tears coming down her eyes. And she was singing, they are descended from movies. I like that. That's the power of Disney or whatever, whoever makes that thing. Wow. Yeah.

Okay. So Consul Frozen, like does all these mashups. Some of them have Moana. A lot of them don't. Can I just can I show you one of them? This is like a series that Constable Frozen made. Okay. So it's, it's Elsa getting off a big plane and waving at people.

And she's like, so it's like, she's the computer generator or whatever, but this is like a real picture of a plane. It's a real picture of a plane, okay. Second frame. Second frame. She's getting up a plane that says Arundel, which is the land of which she's the princess in the movie. And she's surrounded by Marines. And she's surrounded by Marines, and she's about to descend a big staircase. And then she's standing next to Donald Trump.

And then she's at the... She's in Congress. She's in Congress standing in front of Joe Biden and John Boehner. And then she's shaking Donald Trump's hand. That is a good Photoshop. Yeah, it really is. Oh, and she's freezing him. There's a close-up of her freezing his hand.

And that's it. That's it. So it's kind of just like, I don't really understand. That had 29,000 notes. And I don't get it. I don't actually get what is good or bad or whatever about it. It's just like... Well, just imagine the world in which Princess Elsa from Aranda was making a diplomatic visit to the United States and meeting Donald Trump and appearing before Congress.

Right. It's like... Or the person. This person has like being John Malkovich brain, but for like Elsa and they represent it and like people... Love it. Love it. In that way that people love things on Tumblr, which is like, I never understand what's going on. Got it.

But then, this month, Ryan Broderick, who does the Internet Explorer podcast, he was like, hey everybody. I've gotten to the bottom of like the week. weirdest, strangest internet mystery I've ever found, which, like, for him is a very large claim to make. Wow. And he's like, it's about Constable Frozen and, like, something that was under our noses the whole time. What? So, some of the Constable Frozen creations feel slightly adult. So, like, and the thing that, like, unlocks it for him is that there's this one post in particular, October 27th of this year.

that a lot of people noticed because it's, yeah, it's Rapunzel from the movie Tangled. She's tying up a woman using her hair, which is like, whatever. And then the next scene of it is like, Rapunzel strapped to a table with her arms restrained. And then off to the side, there's this prince, and you could miss it at first, but he's off to the side and he has like a ball gag in his mouth.

It's a bit soft focus, so it's not the first thing that your eyes are drawn to. It's the kind of thing that once you see, you don't not see. And so when that happened and people saw the ball gag, they started just like going back and looking through old Constable Frozen posts. And they were like, huh, there's like stuff under her nose that like just seemed weird at the time. But in retrospect, it feels like significant. And so Ryan's theory. It's like the way everybody going back at watching like the Louis C.K. movie.

Or it's like, oh, this guy constantly talked about masturbation. Maybe that was meaningful. Yeah. Yeah. So Ryan's theory is that this whole time, Constable Frozen, has been like a hidden in plain sight, Vore fetish blog. What kind of fetish? So Vore is like, um, voraphilia is a fetish where you sexualize the idea of people consuming other people. But it doesn't have to be like cannibalism.

Like it can be... That's the best butt I've ever heard. But it doesn't have to be cannibalism. Well, so there's softball. It's more like, it's usually like furries or Disney characters, like cute things, like a giant genie from Aladdin. And like a small version of the genie from Aladdin will be like going into his mouth. But it's not like gnashing teeth and like viscerite. It's like Hannibal Lecter, like cutting off arms and drinking them with Kianti.

It's like every time there's a kid's movie where somebody like goes into a giant whale or the school of us goes into a body. But sextual. How do they know it's sexual? How do they know it's sexual? they know that people are getting some sort of complicated pleasure out of it because a lot of those people are like making tumblers and like sharing VOR pictures. So once you know, like Ryan is somebody who's like done a deep dive on soft four.

And so he was like, oh my God, like look at some of these posts. Like some of these Constable Frozen posts. Yeah. So there's like one where it's like Elsa and her sister and they're talking to Marita from the movie Brave who's got red hair. First panel they're talking to her. Then, like, Meredith disappears, and she and her red hair are gone, and they're, like, Elsa and her sister are sharing red spaghetti, which looks like a lot like the missing person's hair.

Meredith's hair. Merida's hair. Or, like, there's this one very popular post that she's called, like, ice cream, where Anna is Elsa's sister? Yes. Anna sees Olaf, the frozen snowman in the library and is like, Olaf, soft serve ice cream. Olaf quickly drinks a glass of milk, flies over. Anna's head and then sort of spuse soft serve ice cream from above her into her like smiling mouth below.

Into a smiling open mouth? Smiling open mouth. And he's, so he becomes like sort of a animated snowman soft serve ice cream dispensing machine that flies over your mouth and. And spits it out, which is boorish because he is feeding himself to her because he is made of ice. He has drank, drank milk. Well, and the funny thing is like Tumblr is a place where people.

are often going to share their, like, weird sort of sexual fetishes. So it's not like these are people who are like, oh, my God. Sexual fetishes on the Internet. Right. It's not like they're saying, like, this is gross even. They're just like, what you've done is you've gone horny on Maine, which is when you tweet or, like, post porn from your main actual account instead of some, like, porn-specific alt account.

I think it sounds so funny. Because, like, in the 70s, that totally could have been a Bruce Springsteen. album. Horny on Maine. Yeah, and it was just like hit the East Street band playing fucking trumpets or

whatever. But like Ted Cruz accidentally faved a link to porn or like his intern according to him did like a couple months ago. That's Ted Cruz going horny on Maine.

Oh. Got it. Has Constable Frozen responded to the controversy? Well, so there's other reporter Brian Feldman who's actually the guy who he does,

he does select all the blog, the internet blog for New York magazine, but also the guy who actually like tweeted this tweet that we're just knowing. He tracked down the person behind Constable Frozen, who turns out to be a man.

Which is interesting because everybody in the responses on Tumblr just automatically assumed that it was a woman. A lot of people did. Yeah. I don't know. But it's a man. He's South Korean. His name's Shenzhouel. And over a very hastily put together Google Translate assisted interview where Shin Chul said, I hate four.

This is not for. I don't, I believe him. Really? It definitely feels porny. Yeah, definitely like something's going on here. Like, this isn't just some big cultural misunderstanding. I mean, there's like an image on this bug that I won't open at work because it looks so much like a two girls, one cup with like chocolate ice cream and Elsa. Yeah.

Whatever type of horny on Maine he was, they're definitely horny. They're definitely horny on Maine. Yeah. I feel like that feels established. Whether it's like, like, really. really out there horny on Maine or just sort of like, you know. Just Disney character, Horny on Maine.

Yeah, exactly. Do you want to explain this tweet back to us? Yes. Okay, so let me just, okay, so here's the original tweet. It's from at B.A. Feldman, quote, constable, frozen milkshake duct for being horny on Maine, end quote, is 2017's, quote, Buffalo, Buffalo, Buffalo, Buffalo, Buffalo, Buffalo, Buffalo, End quote.

So the first phrase, Constable Frozen milkshake duck for being on Horriameen, refers to the owner of a Tumblr who would create scenes with Photoshopped Disney characters, most usually the characters from Frozen doing funny things, but then sort of like slightly porny things. And so the owner of Constable Frozen got milkshake ducked, which means that like first the internet it loves you, but then they turn on you, for being horny on Maine, which means tweeting out porn from your regular account rather than from your secret account. That is correct. And now you're going to make him explain the Buffalo thing. Yeah, I think now just do the easy part of wrapping up the Buffalo sentence.

Seemingly Nonsense sequence of words is 2017s, this seemingly nonsense sequence of words, Buffalo, Buffalo, Buffalo, Buffalo, Buffalo, Buffalo. which I still don't know exactly what that means, but apparently it is a, there, if you, you can grammatically make it, you can make it all make sense if there's a bison from New York.

All right. So the Buffalo Buffalo, Buffalo, Buffalo, Buffalo. They bully bison from New York, who also Buffalo, Buffalo, Buffalo. Alex, I think that was a perfect explanation. But how, where's the who? Just bison from New York. We're staying here until this is done.

No, we're at yes. No, we're not at yes. Bison from the city of Buffalo. Proper now in Buffalo. Reply all is hosted by me, PJ Vote, and Alex Goldman.
