đž Two Chains and a Microphone â Part II: Cindi with an âIâ Calls Obamacare Communism. Cam Prescribes a Brutal Reality Check.
When ignorance meets healthcare, Campbell's diagnosis is terminal denial.
Docâs Diary:
WCAT Talk Radio and MC Two Chains invited Cam, Tosh, and me to âengage MAGA voters in open dialogue.â After Cam cooked the first caller, Two Chains started questioning his life choicesâbut Tosh and I carried on. Things did not improve.
WCAT Talk Radio Transcript â Recorded Live
Two Chains: Okaaay! Campbell the Cat is on fire! Literally. Welcome back to W-C-A-T Talk Radio! Today weâve got a special crew from The Clowderâthe intelligence network of the craftiest street cats around the globe, here to save democracy and humies from themselves. Our guests include Clowder scribe Dr. Tucker, Supreme Commander Campbell Tucker, and his country cousin, Captain of the Southwest Virginia Clowder, Tosh Tucker. They may not be related, but let me warn youâthis is a family of gangstas. Watch out!
Doc: Not family.
Tosh: Not gangstas, Mr. Two Chains, sir.
Cam: Not interested. Who are these chuckleheads callinâ in anyway?
Two Chains: Alright, alright. Whoâs next on the line? I believe weâve got Cindi.
Cindi: Thatâs Cindi with an I, and I got a few things to say to Mr. Campbell there.
Cam: Bring it on.
Tosh: (under his breath) Oh no.
Doc:(under her breath) Oh brotha.
Cindi: First off, I gotta say somethinâ about that Obamacare. Itâs communism, pure and simple, and Iâm not havinâ it. But they better keep their big frickinâ federal hands off my ACA.
Doc: Okaaay. You mean the Affordable Care Actâthe ACA.
Cindi: Thatâs right, missyâthe ACA. Itâs elites like you who wanna take our healthcare away and keep that Obamacare. Iâm on diabetes medicine, and Trump said he wasnât gonna touch our Medicaid and healthcare, only that communist Obamacare.
Cam: Oh, lemme. Lemmeâ
Doc: Cindi⌠you do know that Obamacare is the ACA, right?
Cam: What the hell you talkinâ aboutâ
Tosh: Well, maâam, I think what Docâs sayinâ is you got things a might turned around. The Affordable Care Act is Obamacare. Itâs just that them Republicans tried to torpedo the whole thing by callinâ it Obamacareâfigurinâ folks like youâd turn against it. Like cuttinâ off your nose to spite your face. But truth is, folks like you need that healthcare, so their little game didnât quite work.
Doc: Tosh is right, Cindi. Itâs the same program, and we all need to fight for itâespecially because people like you depend on it.
Cam: Yeah, Cindi with an âI.â You should use Obamacare to buy another vowelâpreferably another eyeâso you can use two eyes to actually see what the hell youâre talkinâ about. Because if I have to listen to another chucklehead like you, Iâll gouge out my own eyes and sell âem to you at a bargain price. How about a BOGOâbuy one, get one free?
Doc: Cam! Can you not control yourself for one minute?
Tosh: Yeah, cuz, Iâm not sure Iâd have framed it up quite that wayâ
Cam: What? What did I do?
(beat)
Cam: Two Chains, next caller. They donât need two eyesâjust a few workinâ brain cells.
Docâs Diary Note:
Camâs cooking keeps burning callers, and MC Two Chains is one flame away from putting him in a time-out. Tosh keeps trying to patch things up, and I keep wondering if I shouldâve worn something fireproof.
Next Time on âTwo Chains and a Microphoneâ
Caller number three was an old farmer, and MAGA voter, Tosh once knew back in Virginia.
He told a sorry tale about how he lost his farm after ICE stormed his fields and hauled off the very people who made his business work.
Will Cam chill out or stay fired up?
Or will the farmerâs whining light a fire under Tosh?
