00:00:48.000Chee Jin Chong used that song for their opening credits about lowriders, the cars that Mexican-Americans, Chicanos, would do in East LA, the way they would soup up their cars.
00:01:08.000Just like Britain, where the funny people are at the top in Scotland, and we proved that in the other show where we saw the guy trip on that plank and get hit in the head.
00:01:21.000I'll never forget when I was running for the bus with my gran, my nana, probably around 1975, and she managed to catch it, and the bus driver goes, just you keep going, Hen, you're going to get downtown before I do.
00:06:38.000the day my kid went punk, I believe it.
00:06:40.000Now, do you know what an after-school special is?
00:06:42.000Yes, let me just pause to explain to the rest of the millennials out there: when I was a young man, the 70s and early 80s, uh, when your mom worked, which mine did eventually, um, there was no one to look after you when you came home, so you would watch TV, and you'd watch TV from four to maybe six when your parents came back.
00:07:01.000100% of all kids did that instead of playing.
00:07:03.000We'd watch the Flintstones, we'd watch the Honeymooners.
00:12:47.000Look, we have reason to believe that she's with Zach's real murderer, Molly Howard, and Molly is trying to push her into a codeine overdose.
00:12:55.000So please, have you have any information?
00:13:27.000You know, the more I look at old TV, the TV that us latchkey kids had to watch from four to six every day of our lives, the more I realize how bad it was.
00:13:37.000Baby boomers really are the worst generation.
00:15:11.000they can have it what the these punk rockers oh i hate punks the aptly named punks Look, if this boomers indulging themselves correctly incorrectly.
00:17:04.000Wait, you just show the mattress ad and nothing else?
00:17:08.000Sex offender arrested in New York for hacking a man 77 to death with a sword in Florida, confesses that he is a serial killer and tells cops he's left a trail of six other victims across the U.S. since he was 12 years old.
00:19:36.000and cops aren't looking for that, they're not looking for glory.
00:19:38.000So, for him, just knowing that they caught a major guy, and you know, if a cop gets a guy with a joint, he gets made fun of at the station.
00:19:48.000This guy's a hero now at the station, that's all they go for.
00:19:51.000Meanwhile, you have all these Me Too, the women's movement, they're getting up there for their pathetic accomplishments like Alyssa Milano and Madonna and Donna Hilton, the woman who murdered a homosexual to death with a pipe by sodomizing him after kidnapping him.
00:21:09.000But that's a Hispanic gentleman who was shot through the chest.
00:21:14.000But there was a lot of heroes in this case.
00:21:17.000The weird thing is, too, I saw this thing in the news where these kids, it's right next to Columbine, like 10 minutes away from Columbine.
00:21:23.000These kids walked out of this vigil for the victims, the victim, Castillo, because they're mad at politicians for not doing better with guns.
00:21:33.000The guns were illegal handguns that they pulled out of a guitar case.
00:21:37.000What do you want us to do with the laws?
00:21:38.000This is what drives me nuts about gun laws.
00:23:16.000We're just like, you might as well walk out of your vigil in protest of death.
00:23:21.000The underage student is reportedly in the process of transitioning from female to male, but Sheriff Tony Spurlock would not confirm if the young suspect was transgender.
00:23:31.000I mean, don't you just call it male now?
00:23:35.000Castillo, the 18-year-old student, who was three days from graduating.
00:23:38.000Classmates said Castillo was among a group of three students who tried to take down one of the shooters by tackling them, you've got to say them now, when they stormed the classroom.
00:23:47.000The father of one of those heroic students, Brendan Biali, told the New York Times that the trio tackled the shooters when they entered the classroom and one pulled a gun out of a guitar case.
00:23:56.000So Castillo is the hero in this story.
00:24:00.000And you're not going to hear much about it because one of the shooters was trans.
00:27:02.000If, like, he's going to be dead in the next 10 years.
00:27:06.000If you were giving a child heroin or doing something else that was going to jeopardize the child's life so imminently, that mother would be a pariah.
00:27:15.000But somehow, feeding a child to death is like, whatever, just a different race.
00:29:20.000The reason I chose this, I know it feels like it's going nowhere.
00:29:22.000The fat kid's cat starts to get murdered.
00:29:26.000And both of them decide to handle it like men, modern men, modern young men, modern abandoned men, modern abandoned men with no father, and a mother who doesn't care if they live or die, and a sister who hates them, and an entire community that thinks they're irrelevant.
00:29:43.000So what do men who are seen as totally irrelevant do when their domesticated animal is dying?
00:34:35.000So we have our flaws, and I was super tired and annoyed last night.
00:34:41.000Like, there was just so much going through my head at that moment that I said a lot of things that, A, yeah, he does bump my mother sometimes.
00:36:20.000Hopefully you don't get like I have right now where people are thinking, yeah, I'm always going to be dick to you, but no, we're dicks to each other.
00:39:06.000But the Hispanic-looking guy was the hero.
00:39:09.000He's an all-male, born-male hero who stored that kid, is the hero of the story.
00:39:14.000And from now on, when they do these shootings, I wish they would just focus more on the heroes because a lot of the time, these people who do it, I'd say 90, John Lott says 90% of the time, they're doing it because they're suicidal and they want to really blow up the spot.
00:40:43.000I'm a very talented cartoonist, and back in early Vice days, when we were waiting for the, back when we were newsprint, and we were waiting to see them come off the reels at the printing plant to make sure the colors were right and all that, it would take like four hours.
00:40:55.000So we'd be sitting in this room at a printing plant board, and I would draw these caricatures of my Vice's co-founders, Shane and Sarouche.
00:49:12.000And he said, isn't it funny how two people meet and then they make your parents and then your parents make you and then I meet you just because two people got married?
00:49:58.000My corpsman would always stress to us to dry our feet and even push blow-drying our toes.
00:50:03.000Now, I took this at face value, being as he was a medical professional.
00:50:06.000I assume that this is sound medical advice.
00:50:08.000However, after your podcast on toe-drying, and to be clear, I mentioned that at my gym, one of my trainers, who's a Puerto Rican, won't put his shoes on, won't put his socks on after he has a shower for about 20 minutes so he doesn't get toenail fungus because his toes have to dry out.
00:50:22.000And I told him, that's old Puerto Rican lady, B.S. And then he told me about a black dude who blew dry his toes.
00:50:28.000And I said, okay, so now it's black and Hispanic B.S. I don't believe it.
00:50:32.000Then we looked it up and we couldn't really find any evidence that you need that much care.
00:50:37.000Wet feet are bad, but you don't need that much care to make them unwet.
00:50:42.000So anyway, he's talking about the podcast, the audio podcast.
00:50:46.000Mike Corman was a New Yorkan, and now I believe that his toe-drying instructions was just his personal opinion and had no medical basis.
00:54:24.000It all started because I saw a kid sing Proud of Your Boy at a music recital where everyone else at the recital was playing guitar and piano and doing stuff they had worked on for months and months and months.
00:54:34.000And then this kid just comes out and sings the song from Aladdin.
00:54:37.000And I'm sitting in the audience going, I bet no one's proud of this boy.
