In this episode of Thick & Thin I talk about a British musician with Down Syndrome named Daniel Wakeford, 9/11, and the hypocrisy of political correctness. I also talk about the new HBO show Undatables, and why I don t like it.

00:03:52.000As president of the United States, you start rebuilding them on September 13th, and British people begin a conspiracy theory that September 11th never happened.
00:05:04.000And I honestly believe that political correctness, it takes anyone who's not mainstream, and that includes visible minorities, and it sort of puts them in a little box away.
00:05:26.000The undatable stars rubbish exploitation claims ahead of new series.
00:05:31.000So that woman who's severely disfigured, she's saying that it's insulting that people are saying that her show is exploitation or the show she was on.
00:05:57.000It's like when I did that video, 10 Things I Hate About the Goddamn Jews.
00:06:01.000It was obviously an homage to Israel and my frustration at liberal Jews who can't embrace nationalism and be proud of everything about Israel, including their awesome wall that has brought down terrorism to this.
00:06:17.000There was a show called How's Your News.
00:06:18.000I used to work with this guy, Arthur Bradford, through Vice.
00:07:31.000I went to see them once, and I know her, and she would send me, once you get on her radar, on her Rolodex, you get a Christmas thing, a Thanksgiving thing, every holiday.
00:08:44.000Like, back when I was a kid, I don't like using the retard for actual retards, but back when I was a kid, there was always a handicapped person in your group, and you would laugh when they did something funny, and you were laughing with them.
00:08:55.000But now, with political correctness, we're so scared of someone laughing at them that we avoid handicapped people entirely.
00:09:03.000Even Bill Burr has a bit about this, about kids, where he's like, remember kids?
00:09:46.000And this is why I have devoted my life to, besides promoting the patriarchy and families and trying to get kids to have kids, people to have kids.
00:10:33.000Not even legally, I think women with Down syndrome can get pregnant, but I think most moms of her make sure it doesn't happen because anyway, way to turn this into something really depressing and unfortunate, Brian.
00:10:47.000And I think you're a retard for thinking that they're going to have kids.
00:10:51.000But anyway, here's a date with Daniel Wakeford meeting a girl.
00:10:56.000I don't know why you jumped into it before I was done saying what I was saying, but might as well play it now.
00:12:42.000But secondly, and this is all part of that too.
00:12:46.000Secondly, I want to fight back against this perpetual gray that we're getting from political correctness, where you can't be around mentally handicapped people.
00:12:59.000I would Argue that back when you had more of an Archie Bunker, Gran Torino, get these Polaks out of here kind of repertoire with your fellow man, the country had less hate, was less racist, had more homogeneity, had more harmony.
00:13:16.000And it reminds me of my favorite philosopher, Slavov Zisek.
00:13:21.000He's one of these Balkanized Slavs who has a habit of constantly picking at himself.
00:13:39.000Of course, racist jokes and so on can be extremely oppressive, humiliating, and so on.
00:13:47.000But the solution, I think, is to create an atmosphere or to practice drug jokes in such a way that they really function as that little bit of obscene contact which establishes true proximity between us.
00:14:48.000Past political experience, ex-Yugoslavia.
00:14:51.000I remember when I was young, when I met from other, when I met with other people from ex-Yugoslav Republic, Serbs, Croats, Bosnias, and so on, we were all the time telling dirty jokes about each other.
00:16:06.000If you can relate Slavov Zizak and his racist jokes to his fellow Slavs, to his fellow Bosnians, Croats, his fellow Balkanized buddies, if you can relate that to the opening song, Playboy Girls, So Much Sexy, if you can see a similarity there, then I have done a successful intro.
00:16:25.000I would now like to turn 90 degrees to Homeless Me and discuss the state of poetry today.
00:16:32.000I've always hated poetry, as my father pointed out when I was a young man.
00:16:37.000Understand why you would say that is a thing, but why would you take this roundabout route going over and then you eventually get to see that's a thing?
00:16:48.000And I would add to that, yes, Dad, and the cadence that they have all chosen, this synonymous cadence where they come in and they say together that the thing must, and the way they go back and forth to each other.
00:17:03.000Well, I checked in on it thanks to a magazine I found.
00:17:07.000And it's just as annoying as you thought it was.
00:19:45.000They're so proud of themselves for writing this mediocre poem that, as a high school teacher, if you read it as an essay, you'd go, what are you doing?
00:20:42.000I remember when I was a young man, maybe 19, my father said to me, I don't get poetry.
00:20:47.000I understand saying that is a thing, but why would you have this roundabout way of going from right to left, right to left, then eventually going that is a thing?
00:20:57.000And I thought he was insane when he said that, but I couldn't agree more.
00:21:04.000How frivolous and fucking useless is are these two children telling us what love is?
00:21:13.000That this guy liked a chick who had a French braid, and this guy liked a guy with a hemp necklace when she was eight years old or something?
00:22:06.000These people, the things they like, that guy's shirt, the way he wears his shirt, her brooch, her jewelry, the people in the audience, they make me sick to my stomach.
00:24:28.000It was five days of community service, picking up garbage by the highway, or another $35,000, two years of your life, 12-hour depositions, going to court again and again, taking off work, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:27:26.000Ladies, if you want to know how to not make a guy horny, then have a brain aneurysm.
00:27:31.000Now, she did have a brain aneurysm, and that's very sad, but and these shoes are weird, gross old lady shoes that your grandmother wears to your funeral because she can't wear heels anymore.
00:27:43.000And I hate black toenail polish, but that's not why she's off the list.
00:27:48.000Not the brain aneurysm, that was a joke.
00:27:50.000Not these shoes, though we're not nuts about them.
00:27:55.000She did a song with Chris Martin of Coldplay, I believe, where she did a politically correct reggae version of a Game of Thrones story, without a Jamaican accent, because that's racist, of course.
00:28:08.000But still maintains the tone, the reggaeton.
00:33:38.000When you're down in that region, you must look up and see a very, I mean, assuming your boobs are hidden, you're looking at a very fit man's belly, a gay man's belly.
00:41:11.000Once the unwind order has been given, it can't be taken back, and the only hope for these kids is to run away and survive until the age of 18, when they cannot be unwound.
00:41:20.000What do you guys think of this premise?
00:41:21.000I didn't think the compromise made sense.
00:41:23.000It seems unrealistic to me that either would be okay with this.
00:41:26.000This compromise seems to imply that pro-lifers only care about preventing the murder of children and that pro-choicers just want to kill children, regardless of the age.
00:41:33.000The author doesn't seem to understand the beliefs of both these parties.
00:41:36.000Thank you for all you do, and thank your wife, too, for holding down the house while you fight the good fight.
00:43:24.000Anyone who opposes me, really, and the entire middle class, let's kill them.
00:43:29.000And you see these academics talking about abortion a day after the baby is born.
00:43:34.000I've actually heard academics, in fact, my teacher, when I was in college myself at Carleton University in philosophy, my teacher was Marvin Glass, head of the Canadian Communist Party at the time.
00:43:45.000And he told us it's okay to have an abortion up until a year after the baby is born.
00:43:52.000A monkey is more human, or whatever criteria you come up with for human, you can recognize people, you're friendly, you know this, you know that.
