OG thread from Oct' 24 about the OG Matt & Blonde show breakup
Thread about the breakup of Blonde's second pod, The Backlash, in Feb '26
Unfortunately, in an attempt to get my YouTube channel removed, what is left of the Backlash has begun issuing illegal copyright claims on my original work. I will be deleting all of these videos to try to retain my YouTube channel, but it may be too late. Please follow my new YT channel and Rumble (Pinned tweet)
Lauren Witzke is also in the comments on Team Blonde
Her mostly dead Rumble channel that she's starting her new pod with Cameron MacGregor on
A lot of people feel as though this on-air crashout in Nov '25 was the watershed moment splitting up their collaboration. At the time,
- Nick had just received some criticism from other figures like Devon Stack, Eric Aarvoll & AshaLogos for a "I don't care what color you are, America is your birthright" clip that was circulating at the time from his show. Nick would go on to declare that other wignats were "dead to him".
- Blonde & Cameron MacGregor expressed concern on their show that Fuentes was moderating his message, wasn't ethnonationalist enough, was more focused on Christian nationalism that allowed nons into the movement
- Reilly, an avowed Groyper (even though Fuentes has stated publicly that he doesn't trust him), crashed out live during their Backlash pod with his co-hosts mild criticism of Nick, being completely histrionic that his co-hosts weren't loyal, wanted to kill Nick, etc.
- He went off on a tangent that Rebecca hadn't voted in recent local Idaho elections and where his preferred local Republican candidates lost, that he campaigned for
- He called his co-hosts "retards" to their faces
- Reilly admitted that he doesn't care about the dwindling demographic White percentage of the AF movement or the country
- He admitted to not giving a shit about fellow Whites outside of America in the Anglosphere like in Ireland, having more concern about Christians and nons who are AF-loyal
- He states that he only cares about AF and ridding the US of Zionism, not about the fate of any Whites who aren't Christian
- Dave shat on black_pilled for his beekeeping, as well as mocking Aarvoll & RTTL (who had both been guests on his show) for "hiding in the woods"
The French potato masher JF Gariepy also did a one-hour stream last night covering some of the drama. But also interspersed lots of unsolicited commentary about wanting to plant his seed inside Blonde because of her uncontrollable "hawd-ness".
Blonde saw the stream and was embarrassed that her parents watched it too.
Despite JFG being hypersexual towards her, Blonde appears to take it in stride. She is married with two young children. Her husband is apparently an offline former Vet with potentially sociopathically protective violent tendencies.
Blonde was in JFG's YT comments correcting the record that she was the OG founder of The Backlash pod. Dave Reilly was apparently originally brought on as producer, but in the end usurped her & the other hosts, claiming the IP as his own as the last man standing while using DMCA abuse.
There's more tweets, more accusations, more drama, more things I'd like to archive, but that's all I have time for right now and want to get this up.
I'll return at a later date in the comments to try to archive some of the other parts to this story.
Fall 2024 KIA2 thread about the OG podcast breakup
1.5 years ago, a few weeks prior to Trump Nov '24 re-election, the Beauty & the Beta podcast that had been running for almost 9 years with co-hosts Matt Christiansen & Rebecca Hargraves (Blonde), came to a messy end. The details were discussed here on KIA2 in a thread in the link above.
TL;DR - Christiansen was getting squeezed by a million dollar mortgage he bought for his secret jewess wife after the Lauren Chen Tenet Media Russian glowie scandal cutoff his 144k/yr payouts. So, after getting annoyed at his co-host Blonde's absenteeism & general malaise at discussing MAGA boomer slop after a decade in the same format, gave her an ultimatum, take it or leave it paycut of around 10--20%.
Blonde, married to an apparently independently wealthy older vet & not needing the meager payout that the show provided, told him to shove it. She decided to quit the show, making a independent boilerplate social media post on X announcing that her & Matt had grown apart & that she would be immediately leaving the show.
Christiansen, being a closet control freak, had his own crashout in response mostly centered on the fact that Blonde had beat him to the punch in making a vanilla announcement about her departure, unvetted by him. Matt claimed that portions of her vagueposting were blatantly untrue and demanded that she do one last final podcast episode the next day "because the audience deserved it".
Blonde refused. Christiansen would go on to host a solo 3-hour episode of their pod the next day, essentially crying about Blonde's betrayal, posting cropped bad faith screenshots of their private DMs and holding hours-long call-in segments encouraging their old audience to shit all over his old co-host for her lack of fealty.
Blonde, hurt by Christiansen's lack of professional courtesy, would later leak details about Matt's secret Jew wife, his rabbi wedding photos, his million dollar McMansion that he couldn't afford, his jealous Jew wife that wouldn't let the two co-hosts & families meet in person, his wife's paranoia about Blonde BFing her newborn during segment breaks with her webcam off, the fact that the show barely made any money (grossing less than 60k between them most years), etc.
Fast forward a few weeks
-
Christiansen wins the old audience, the old show IP and his YT channel in the metaphorical divorce. He essentially keeps doing their old show in a very similar format twice weekly solo with a rotating cast of civnat minor e-celebs (including a Black guy named JoshyBoy that is universally hated but a recurring character) & longtime audience members. Views stagnate, but the old audience mostly stays with him. He callously also deletes the entire 9-year backlog history of the old Matt & Blonde Show archives off his channel, lost forever. Some audience members ask him questions about Blonde's allegations of his secret Jew wife (particularly because Christiansen was in the midst of a new public adopting Christianity arc with bible study groups with audience members). Matt essentially took a non-denial position, telling listeners it was none of their business.
-
Rebecca bounced back very quickly despite being left with metaphorically nothing after the breakup (and a key issue with the split being that she was disinterest & lazy). Within a month, she started up a new wignat, JQ-focused podcast called The Backlash in the home of one of her friends in Idaho, Dave Reilly. Reilly was a former intern for E. Michael Jones & is involved in local Idaho Republican state politics. They also got former Nick Fuentes associate Vincent James, of Jan 6th fame & The Red Elephants to co-host. However, James wouldn't last long, quitting within the first few months of the pod, claiming he was stepping away for family reasons & essentially disappearing off the web for the next year. Their fourth chair was Cameron MacGregor, a globetrotting International Man of Mystery, who may or may not be Colonel Douglas MacGregor's child, who would Zoom in from a new locale every week. And mostly was completely ignorant of pop & shitposting culture.
Rebecca & her cohosts did twice weekly shows for the last year or so. On Mondays they tended to interview an alt right or Christian figure. On Weds, they had a panel show discussing the news of the day from a wignat/JQ perspective. They did get a few alt right-type sponsors (Idaho Tallow, Antelope Hill Publishing, Atlas Bullion), but their views remained mostly flat & never surpassed Matt's old show.
More recent developments
- Christiansen's show still plods along with the usual MAGA slop while completely ignoring the JQ. He did recently choose a permanent second chair, ?Matt Polumbo? after an endless year of auditions. He however has never been able to replace Blonde as the hot, edgy, racist co-host to bring in the eyeballs.
Matt a few month back created a video plea that he couldn't afford to keep the show going without more listener support. His comment section was mostly full of simps declaring that it was time to give some shekels to the "Most Honest Man" on YT.
PreserveTube of "I Need Your Help"
- Meanwhile, Blonde's pod today announced that both Rebecca & Cameron MacGregor were both leaving the show, effectively leaving only Dave Reilly & the end of the collaboration.
No specific reasons were given, but speculation is that the pod broke up over Dave Reilly's fanatical devotion to Nick Fuentes (who laughably has publicly denounced Reilly), particularly with Nick's 2026 arc guarding for Epstein & generally moderating his takes towards White Nationalism.
Reilly also is a fairly insufferable Catholic who tries to discuss theological doctrine on the show at length. Rebecca is a Catholic herself, but apparently recently was a guest on Adam Green's show where she openly discussed having doubts & possibly was considering leaving the faith. There was also tension between Rebecca & Dave given that Reilly tended to choose Catholicism over White Nationalism when push came to shove.
There was also speculation that the pod simply never was financially successful. Prior to the latest breakup announcement (where the trio actually had a show scheduled for 7 pm EST tonight that never happened), Rebecca & Dave were pushing a local Idaho fan meetup on Feb 27th for a Black Tie dinner weekend with Tier Experiences priced between 1-2.5k USD.
TL; DR 2.0
- 18 months post Beauty & the Beta blowup, Matt Christiansen is to be declared the winner by default as the last man standing.
He continues a stale, unsuccessful, boomer slop pod in the same 2016 format while avoiding the JQ, but squeezing out enough shekels from his smoothbrains to keep affording the mortgage payments on his million dollar Montana Jewess castle.
Blonde OTOH, was freed to JQ sperg on her own for the next year+, but ultimately couldn't make the finances or the social dynamics work between wignat co-hosts, ultimately calling it & crying uncle a second time in as many years. Ultimately, Nick Fuentes, the Groypers along with TradCaths vs wignats just led to more division & balkanization on the dissident right.

I hate change.
Ended up watching Cry, The Beloved Country (1995) starring James Earl Jones & Richard Harris (Marcus Aurelius in Gladiator, Dumbledore in Harry Potter).
I watched it in light of the recent controversy over the US importing a few dozen Boer South African refugees.
The movie is based on a 1948 novel of the same name, written by Alan Paton, a White Christian African anti-apartheid activist. It's considered a classic and one of the first examples of South African literature. The fictional tale is set in 1946 and was published in 1948, a year before apartheid officially was instituted.
I remember it being assigned reading in high school, but remembered absolutely nothing other than it being set in Africa.
Anyway, the TL:DR is that the movie's plot is complete dogshit. It makes no sense why it's a classic.
It reminded me of a fusion of To Kill a Mockingbird & Austin Metcalf/Karmelo Anthony & Metcalf's racecucked father
James Earl Jones plays a 60 y/o rural South African preacher. His family members keep leaving for Johannesburg one-by-one to look for each other like a horror movie and never returning. This includes his sister, his son (so I guess he's not Catholic), his brother-in-law, etc. Family members move to the city then eventually stop writing.
One day, a letter arrives from a Johannesburg priest informing him his sister is very ill & to come at once. He takes the train to the city to the seminary, only to meet the priest who informs him that he actually lied. That his sister isn't ill, she's just an alcoholic prostitute turning tricks around her young son. Jones finds her at the brothel and strongarms her to go home to their village, but instead she flees leaving her son behind.
Then Jones starts looking for his missing son Absalom that went to the city to look for his aunt. Jones follows clues with the help of the Johannesburg priest, discovering that his son over the last year has gone to jail & been released, got a nigress pregnant & now roams around in a gang doing B&Es.
One morning at the Johannesburg seminary, everyone is talking about a young White man who was killed by a black gang during a B&E at his home. The slain White guy was a White saviour type running an athletic Boys & Girls type club for young black men. Jones reads in the paper that the slain man's White father owns an estate back near the village where Jones has his church.
Jones soon learns that his son was arrested for the White Boys & Girls Club guy's B&E murder with two other blacks.
The White guy's father from Jones' village is portrayed as being curmudgeonly & racist in the scenes leading up to this point. Richard Harris is informed by the cops of his son's death & flies to Johannesburg to identify the body.
There's a MacGuffin at the start of the movie where a parishioner asks Jones as he's departing the train station for Johannesburg if he'll go to an address and inquire about another missing daughter.
Jones' son is arrested and arraigned for murder. The MacGuffin comes into play that Jones goes to the address to look for the parishioner's missing daughter before the trial is over. The address turns out to be the home of the deceased son's in-laws and Richard Harris is there.
Jones recognizes Harris from the arraignment & starts sniveling & crying. Harris is somehow miraculously cured of his racism and is completely full of mirth when Jones informs him he's the father of Harris' son's killer.
Harris gets the in-laws to inform Jones that the parishioner's daughter was fired for being a drunk criminal. Harris & Jones thank each other and exchange pleasantries.
The trial continues. Jones' son Absalom is found guilty of murder and sentenced to be hung.
Jones' main concern is having his son marry his pregnant baby momma to make an honest woman of her before he is hung. So he arranges a marriage ceremony on death row.
Jones returns home before the hanging, hoping for mercy for his son. Harris is overjoyed when the local nigresses hoot & holler when their preacher returns.
One day, after a long drought, torrential rain begins. Harris gets caught in the rain on his horse in the downpour near Jones' church. He asks permission to shelter there as the rain continues to leak through the holes in the church roof. They mostly stare at each other in silence and exchange pleasantries while waiting out the storm. Harris asks if Jones knows if his capital punishment will be stayed. Jones informs him that his son will be hung in 15 days. Harris leaves saying he'll be thinking of Jones' murderous son on that day.
Judgment day comes 15 days later. Jones departs to hike up into the mountains to pray. Harris intercepts him halfway up on his horse with a promise letter to build Jones' congregation a new church with a cornerstone for his son.
Jones hikes to the top. His nigger son gets hung.
The End.
The literary criticism I read about the novel & movie talked about how the main narratives were "fear". The Whites are being victimized by "native crime" and the Zulu are somehow being victimized by the Whites & systemic racism that ??? has them keep migrating to the city from their home tribes to....become alcoholic, prostitutes, philanderers, murderers, gang members & thieves.....
The movie didn't even actually show any examples of White supremacy. Richard Harris is just some crusty old guy asking why his son isn't coming to see him on his family's vacation and instead is wasting time setting up Social Clubs for blacks (who soon break in & murder him in his own home).
The police & prison guards are shown as White & stern, but are never actually brutal.
The most egregious scene is a short montage where the police manhandled some black witnesses that Jones had previously interrogated about the whereabouts of his son Absalom before knowing he was a murderer, when the police were trying to apprehend the murderous gang members.
Jones' son's entire alibi & legal defense is repeating over & over "I did break-in & shoot him, but I didn't mean to kill him. I was afraid. Johannesburg is dangerous"
It also makes zero sense why Harris suddenly forgave Jones and his thug son. Harris starts as a "Never Relax" racist, then his son is killed in a B&E in cold blood. Then the father of his killer comes to harass him during the trial about another criminal drunk nog employee, and Harris wishes him well & welcomes him with open arms.
Then Harris goes back and builds Jones and the rest of the nogs a new church in his son's memory.
Apparently the director for the 1995 film was also some activist jogger.
Edit: There was one mildly based scene.
When Jones is preparing to leave for home again after his son's capital punishment verdict, the younger Johannesburg black priest that originally wrote for him to come collect his whore sister informs Jones that he is leaving the seminary & giving up all his worldy possessions (to do what isn't entirely clear) because he's so consumed with fear that "When the Whites finally learn to love us, that we will meet them with hate".
I'm traveling at the moment and have some down time to watch movies On Demand.
Nothing too earth shattering, but I noticed a few woke themes that were new to me in the IPs.
I had seen the OG Joker before, but had completely forgot about Joaquin Phoenix' shoehorned delusional relationship with his single mom black tenement neighbor.
It really stuck out in a movie that was otherwise acclaimed as being representative of "incel rage". I likely wasn't as redpilled as I was now when I saw The Joker originally in 2019-2020, so I probably didn't notice it on the first run.
Still haven't seen The Joker II. All I know is that everyone else hated it and I, Hypocrite loved it, possibly as a troll.
I'd never see A Man Named Otto before with Tom Hanks, but remember the previews.
I watched the first half. It reminded me of a cleaner Gran Torino with Clint Eastwood, where a crotchety widower slowly gets won over by his DEI neighbors as they flood his white picket fence formerly White street.
Then I turned it off immediately halfway through when some pooner flyer deliverer on a bike tells Hanks that she was transgender and his dead wife HS teacher was the only one who was ever nice to her.
Does anyone know the details of KF being down all weekend?
Null gives status updates on Telegram but I don't have access.
He mentioned in passing on his Friday livestream that the site was down but was very cagey as to why.
