Rebrands and Mascot Madness
A fresh start and exciting news highlight this episode as I reveal my brand new blog project: AnAmericanist.com! After returning from a quick Tunica getaway, I share my vision for this new conservative platform that delivers blunt takes on politics and pop culture while aiming to include younger patriots in their 30s who are making waves in the conservative movement. My first post tackles Pete Hegseth's restoration of equal combat fitness standards for military personnel—regardless of gender—as it rightfully should be.
The episode takes a fascinating turn as we explore an absurd controversy unfolding in a Long Island school district. A parent and NAACP chapter leader has actually filed a complaint against the school's new Spartan mascot, claiming it's "white supremacist" and "anti-woman." This perfectly captures the ridiculous extremes of cancel culture, where even ancient Greek warriors aren't safe from modern purity tests. As Greek-American comedian Ellen Karis brilliantly points out, the Spartan represents admirable qualities like strength, discipline, and fighting for one's community—exactly what you want in a mascot!
Before wrapping up, I pose the age-old relationship question about bathroom etiquette: should men put the toilet seat down? After years of marriage, my perspective is refreshingly practical—I can handle putting it down myself! Throughout the episode, I contemplate rebranding this podcast to align with my new blog identity, so stay tuned for potential changes coming soon.

Well, hello, good morning, happy April. 1st. April fools don't be fooled, and I don't know if you noticed or not, but I did not have an episode out yesterday. We were traveling back from Tunica. We took off and went to Tunica on Thursday afternoon, actually had a good time. But glad to be back and back on schedule and I have some exciting news.
Speaker 1:I have been wanting to rebrand or redo my blog or start something new or whatever. So I'm keeping Carol Remarks' blog but I'm not going to. I might write on it occasionally, but I'm going to have it redirected to my new blog called anamericanistcom. Anamericanistcom, when I kind of want to talk about. Of course I want to talk about politics, current events. Let's see what did I put over on. Now I have an ex-account as well and let me go tell you about that a little bit. Let's see, go over here, okay, let's see Delivering blunt conservative takes on politics and pop culture, guiding the next gen with wit, wisdom and straight truth, reviving patriotism.
Speaker 1:I want to try to include a younger audience. Now, when I say younger, I'm talking in their 30s, because you know I'm 58, nearly 60, so to me younger is 30. I think sometimes when people and I am a fine example of this. When I think younger, I'm still thinking like 18, 20 year olds. That's not I mean, if they want to read it, sure, but I mainly want to include the younger 30 year olds that are like Scott Pressler's, those type of that age group that are conservatives, republican, that are in the game because they're making it happen too. Okay, but is it really for everybody? And I already have my first blog post up there about Pete Hegseth and putting the combat fitness ready test back to where it's supposed to be Women will now have to do the same thing men do, as they should if they want to be in combat. Go over and check it out, anamericanistcom. I'm looking for guest bloggers, of course, and I think it's going to be good. Well, I don't think. I know it's going to be good. All right Now.
Speaker 1:The Question, though, that I have is what should I do with my podcast? That is the question. Do I need to keep it like it is and talk about weird and unusual stories here? I kind of want to have the podcast for an Americanist too. I don't know what I'm going to do yet. Maybe I'll just slowly transition into a more serious tone here. Not serious, still be fun. Maybe it'll just be like the offbeat things, for I think I do want to rebrand my podcast to an Americanist. All right, okay, here we go for the new story.
Speaker 1:If you like your mascot, you might be a racist. You ready for this one? Love your school mascot. You just might be a white supremacist.
Speaker 1:Coming soon to Brentwood Union Free School District in Long Island, my big fat Greek white supremacist, moss III, whose two daughters are students in the district, this new mascot, introduced after Brentwood schools were forced to scrap their Indian mascot, is anti-woman and racially problematic. You can't please these people. You can't please anybody. I mean, what do you want as a mascot? A tree? I don't understand. I mean, what do you want as a mascot? A tree? I don't understand. So I'm going to use the Redskins and the Commanders as an example. So when you're a sports team and you're fighting another sports team, don't you want your mascot to be badass? To me, the Redskins were badass, and you changed it to the Commanders. To me, that's more white supremacist than anything. And you changed it to the commanders. To me, that's more white supremacist than anything. But we're talking about this school district here.
Speaker 1:Who? This guy, this father, the king guy, the leader of the local NAACP chapter there, says that the Spartan is white supremacist. If you only remember learning in school history that the Spartans were famous for austerity and discipline, as opposed to, say, tucking a KKK hood under their signature plumed helmets, you are not alone. You are not alone. This suit feels like a parody of the early 2020s, when cancel culture ruled and all aspects of American society were viewed through a wrap, a warped racial lens.
Speaker 1:Moss, however, is extremely serious. His name is moss. I don't know where I got king from. He claims. The ancient greek avatar violates civil rights and state constitutional protection. How tell me, you need to. You need to. How, sending a bad message to students? God help his kids if they end up in Michigan State or, worse, move to Spartanburg, south Carolina.
Speaker 1:This symbol sends the message that enslaving indigenous people and excluding women from the military are acceptable, said Moss, demanding that the mascot pass the 21st century purity test. Who is excluding women from the military? I was in the military. I'm a woman. I wasn't excluded, maybe from combat, which I hope they do. Oh, okay, I asked Greek-American stand-up Ellen Karas, known as the Greek goddess of comedy. You need to go follow her, by the way. I saw her on Mary Walker's show Fantastic Lady about Moss's gripes with her culture. She found it funny that he had to go back to bc times to find something offensive. This is going to piss the greeks off so much. Karis told me he is going to get banned from every diner on long island. He will never get a feta cheese omelet ever again. Ha ha, karis, whose family hails from near sparta in greece, said the warrior represents universally appealing values.
Speaker 1:This article is very long. You need to go read it. It's quite good. Everything about being a Spartan is amazing. You take no crap, you're strong, you're disciplined, she explained. You will fight for your friends and family, which is what you want in a mascot on your sports team.
Speaker 1:This whole mess started with a ridiculous state ruling that required Brentwood to drop its Native American mascot, which I think is also dumb. Why, to me? So you're erasing history. You're erasing the indigenous people. That's what you're doing. You're canceling your own ideology. I don't, you know, I don't get it. I don't get it. All right, so you can go. Finish reading that.
Speaker 1:I need to go on to the question of the day. All right, the question of the day is an old question. It's usually with younger couples. My, the gent and I have worked this out a long time ago. In fact, I worked it out on my own a long time ago.
Speaker 1:We're talking about the bathroom, the toilet seat. Men, when you're done using the bathroom, do you leave the seat up or do you put it down for your wife? I don't require anything from my gent. I know how to put the seat down on my own, after falling into it a couple of times in my younger days. Okay, it doesn't bother me that he leaves it, it does not bother me at all. I know how to put the damn seat down. So, but I'm asking you, what do you think? All right, I gotta go. Thanks for listening. I hope you go check out anamericanistcom. Leave some comments over there. Help share it out. Go follow me on x over there and um, I really do appreciate y'all and I'm gonna slowly transition. I say slowly. You might come back one day and it'll be bam, it'll be an americanist on here at the podcast. Okay, gotta go. Love y'all. Thanks for listening, bye.
