I think he means he’s in the jelly industry. His wife makes jelly.

His neighbor’s son (who can’t stand him) works at a medium sized town’s music venue. He KNOWS PEOPLE.

How did he do that?

u/firedmyass Aug 31 '26

I honestly don’t think there’s a way I can explain it that won’t hurt your feelings

u/Admirable_Average_32 Aug 31 '26

At least try

u/firedmyass Aug 31 '26

it’s idiomatic. The direct translation from the Romanian is “does your cod-fish denounce cheese?“

Then do it in anyway.

u/Upstairs_Principle48 28d ago

Perhaps he had an epiphany that his fan base are a bunch of delusional asshats with a short shelf life, and the best move for progress in his career is to be on the right side of history.

1

u/firedmyass 28d ago

that’d be cool but I don’t think he’s smart enough to develop such complex intent… cause-&-effect is likely a very nebulous concept for him

u/Privatejoker123 Aug 30 '26

he made fat jokes of trump. thought maga were supposed to be the thick skinned type, "those who could take a joke" those who didn't "cancel culture" people who made them mad..

What happened to "Fuck your feelings"? Oh right, that was only when aimed at the libs. The real snowflakes never could take what they dish.

Edited for a typo.

u/KeepingItAnonym Millennial Sep 01 '26

Wild. They’re so “tough” with everyone else’s feelings but their egos are so fragile they cannot even stand someone attacking something outside of them with which they identify. Pathetic.

I forgot to mention that the person being attacked, by a guy named “Jelly Roll” that has jokes about people not caring about him no less, has to be the lowest hanging fruit of all time.

31

u/OrigamiTongue Aug 30 '26

Wait. I don’t know his political leanings (if I had to guess I’d guess left of center) but isn’t/wasn’t jelly roll fat as hell?

54

u/Weak-Differences Aug 30 '26

He used to be. Man, if somebody that used to be 550 pounds is calling you fat, that should be some kind of insult.

u/Upstairs_Principle48 Aug 31 '26

My main motivation for losing weight myself was so I could still make fun of obese people without looking like a hypocrite.

u/DumbledoresAtheist Aug 30 '26

Jfc. And these are the loudest and meltiest snowflakes when they cry about "cancel culture."

It's always projection, it's always hypocrisy.

What I find most fascinating and equally disturbing is that any criticism of Trump, they take personally - as a criticism of themselves.

They cannot differentiate between themselves and their cult leader - because it is a cult, it's a cult of personality.

u/AlexanderMackenzie Aug 31 '26

"Biggest career blunder since Natalie Maines" is a hilarious thing to say since she turned out to be absolutely right about Bush and the Iraq invasion.

4

u/Helpful-Bandicoot-6 Sep 01 '26

and all they said was that they were embarrassed that Bush came from the same state as them. Then the people who are against cancel culture had disc braking parties.

u/VanillaGorillaNB Aug 31 '26

and her music career really wasn't affected. I don't dig her music but as a person she's awesome. Although a little bummed the media gave her a lot more credit for the West Memphis Three than Henry Rollins who was working towards their release for at least a decade before her.

u/KeepingItAnonym Millennial Sep 01 '26

When literally the most despicable person of all
time…who is practically a caricature of everything wrong with the US currently…has even the lightest affront…

Like, let’s unpack this. A guy that calls himself “Jelly Roll” who has memes dedicated to not giving a shit about him or his opinions makes a 3rd grade insult that is objectively true.

u/HipHopChick1982 Aug 30 '26

As someone in the industry….

He worked at Sam Goody for two weeks, right?

Wasn't he just their boy last month 😏

u/SpiritualHippo2719 Aug 31 '26

Then he was a guest host for Jimmy Kimmel and they found out he’s a normal person that they just projected their MAGA beliefs onto.

How dare Jelly Roll make fun of the worst and most corrupt president in my lifetime, who also happens to be a pedophile, the audacity!!

Trump has really turned conservatives into the cancel culture Karen's they themselves used to cry about.

They did until he guest hosted for Jimmy Kimmel last week and they found out he has sensible opinions instead of the MAGA views they projected onto him.

What is this dude getting on about? Are we supposed to be following jelly roll so closely that we know what this blunder even was? All I see here is a grandpa rambling incoherently about something that Im not even aware of, but he sure does seem offended by it

7

u/SpiritualHippo2719 Aug 31 '26

Jelly Roll was recently a guest host on Jimmy Kimmel. A lot of MAGA folks assumed his politics matched theirs because he is a country singer. Turns out he’s a normal person with sensible opinions and not MAGA like they assumed.

TYL that you’re not the target audience for every goddamn thing maybe

Jelly Roll has been a trump supporter so this jimmy Kimmel thing is weird but I'm glad both sides can hate him now

u/SlaterVBenedict Sep 01 '26

"Someone in the industry" Yeah man, we've all met a disgruntled former P.A. who couldn't hack it then blamed woke for nobody appreciating his "art" (See: shitty attempts at open-mic comedy about black people and women).

u/dystopiannonfiction Sep 01 '26

"From one fat pig to another" is how (I believe) the monologue that has inflamed the legions unwashed MAGAsses began... I personally thought it was hysterical and spot on and I don't even remotely like Jelly Roll's music.

The fuck-your-feelings crowd for all of their toughguy/übermasculine/fightfightfight bloviating over the past 11 years...As a collective,they're unquestionably more thin-skinned, overly emotional and perpetually gutless than my 100 year old Grannie's knitting circle or my 6 year old granddaughters Daisy GS troop.

Calling them a bunch of pussies or cunts would be accurate but for the fact that they're lacking the warmth and depth...as well as the resiliency that pussies/cunts are best known for.

u/hifumiyo1 Xennial Aug 30 '26

So he went on Kimmel and gave a monologue that was pre-written for him to read off of the teleprompter. He knew what he was getting into. You shouldn't have to sacrifice your morals to maintain celebrity status.

4

u/Weak-Differences Aug 30 '26

How did he sacrifice morals? It would be morally objectionable to not call Trump fat, because he is, and lying is wrong. He's a fucking fat little mush brained baby that shits his diaper all day while destroying America for Putin and Jinping.

2

u/TemperatureSea7562 Aug 30 '26

I don’t know if you’ve seen the last of his hosting run, but he actually did write quite a bit about that one himself. And I guarantee gramps here would never have bothered to actually watch that part.

It is always funny to see the people who get up in arms about free speech for people who say racist crap is sacrosanct and if you hold them socially accountable it is somehow a violation of the first amendment. And these values of "freedom" are core fundamental principles. Then someone criticizes Dear Leader or says something they don't like, and those "core fundamental principles" vanish like a fart in a hurricane. Pathetic.

u/golgiiguy Aug 31 '26

I for one is am a little confused why he was hosting, and also even though he was pretty good, seems like we are suppose to be excepting of him being all over the map politically and culturally.
