-What’s Beef by The Notorious B.I.G

Like most people, I enjoy a good “beef” or rivalry. It can be between two sports teams, individuals, or even amongst your friends. They are entertaining and often have many plot twists and turns that you cannot help but be captivated by. That is unless the feud is so lopsided that it is no longer entertainment, but fodder.

To make it even worse, the one on the receiving end of the losses is so delusional, that they think they are ahead. That is not just sad, but dangerous.

It is no secret for nearly a year I have done my Classic Film Reviews for WMNH radio and Matt Connarton Unleashed (shameless plug time: it airs every Friday at 5 pm EST on WMNH or you can check the archives here). I was introduced to Connarton by my friend Dirk Don of Arrogant Media. I called into Matt’s show to speak about a man named Crazy Joe from New York.

This man was posting videos filled with racist statements. Among the ones that angered me, was claiming all Jews were evil for their part in the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ. The many flaws (and the fact he called himself a man of God, as a Christian myself something that disturbed me greatly) that he did not include, Jesus said forgive them Father for they know not what they do as he was being crucified, that many more Jews were sorrowful following the crucifixion and the worst is that Jesus preaches a message of love, not one where you call African-Americans “Chocolotos” and “Nigs” (his direct words).

Over the past year I have become friends with Matt Connarton, his significant other, the Honorable Jenny Coffey, Billy Painter of Outlaw Radio, and Rob of the Rob and Slim Show (recently concluded after a very successful run). I have listened as he has insulted them with homophobic and racial slurs. He has insulted Painter’s sister for dating an African-American, Coffey for her Hebrew heritage, Rob and Slim for their friendship, Connarton for only working for an FM radio station, and people on Connarton’s show (some who do have mental deficiencies, and Joe has called them “Retarded” in many of his videos, funny enough these individuals can conduct themselves well enough to be on the station, whereas Joe cannot). As despicable and reprehensible as all of this is, his latest act is what led to this blog post.

Connarton’s father, Martin, was a Navy SEAL that served in the Vietnam War. Early this year, Martin was faced with a major health issue regarding his heart. After calling into Matt’s show, Joe was told that he is quite charming and charismatic. Matt also added that if he were to stop the hate-filled speech and racist humor, he could be successful. A normal, sane person would take this as sound advice. Joe went in a different direction.

Over the next 30 hours, the crazed man did over 30 videos about Matt. The insults were plentiful. He derided Matt for his admission of suicidal thoughts on air during a recent bout of depression, accused him of censorship for hanging up on him (the next day Joe called in while making a video and said “Asshole” on air, being an FM station, Matt had to dump the call) among other insults. Then he berated Martin for his health issues and insinuated (falsely) that Martin had sexual relations with his son.

During Joe’s video tirade Matt posted a video (on his personal Facebook page mind you) upset with the deranged lunatic for insulting his father and the insinuations made. He also stated that Joe had White Supremacist views (just watch Joe’s videos, you can find them if you want. I will not disgrace this site with links), which to any sane person, would be an accurate statement.

Joe, often claims he is a man hardened by the streets of New York. What did this tough New Yorker do? He called Matt’s boss and proceeded to complain about what Matt said. Then for good measure, he attempted to call Painter’s boss as well. All the while portraying himself out to be the victim. That is about as hard and street tough as Charmin triple ply.

The problem is Joe does not see any problem with his views. These views are hard Alt-Right at their best and statements that would make David Duke blush at their worst. Joe says that to be called a White Supremacist you have to be a part of a White Supremacist group. Showing his technological deficiencies and blatant ignorance (just listen to his show, you will hear these deficiencies and ignorance) a mere 30-second Google search could have taught him that a White Supremacist is ANYONE that shares views that the White Race is superior above other races. These are statements he has said verbatim. Also of note, he has often proudly declared his Hispanic heritage, only a short time later to refer to Hispanics as “chico de Picos”. Add self-loathing to the psychological thesis that would be this man’s mental health evaluation.

What makes him dangerous is his obvious God Complex and massive delusions of grandeur. Joe claims he is trying to save the world from this “Leftist, Marxist, Communistic Society.” He proclaims he is the savior of real rock and roll music (often spelled as saver) and touts his views and hits. Failing to mention or display a basic understanding of website measurement, this includes time spent on the site, links clicked, and so forth.

He claims to be a bigger star than Howard Stern but yet doggie sleeping videos draw more viewers than his diatribes on a 10-1 ratio. His videos are his ignorant, narrow-minded views on repeat. All while spouting constant statements about sexual relations with farm animals (think he has some fantasies he needs to address) and obvious homo erotic fetishes he has.
The problem with the advancements in technology is that now any loon with an opinion can become a broadcaster or a blogger (I’m evidence of this). The bigger problem is that some of the individuals desecrate the foundations of broadcasting and journalism with their ineptness and ignorance. They should be ignored and dismissed so they slowly fall into the obscurity they deserve.

In closing, the people Joe has targeted have become his masters. These people just by their success have won. The fact that he has posted close to 70 videos the past week insulting them proves that this sexagenarian has so much hate-filled venom in his body, that he would rather spend the twilight of his life seeking fame that his limited talent cannot provide by spouting hate-filled ramblings, that if they were not so disgusting, the ignorance would be laughable.

So, What’s Beef? Certainly not this. A rivalry needs to be competitive. This is not. The success of those Joe, targets and the pathetic, delusional world he lives in, shows who the victors are. The hope is that Joe goes away. But his limitations will not allow that.

That is the saddest part of this “rivalry”
