00:07:14.000It was recently liberated, I think, in the 90s and became the Czech Republic.
00:07:20.000That doesn't mean you're wealthy overnight.
00:07:22.000I was there in the early 90s after it had been liberated, and it was still gross.
00:07:26.000I mean, they don't have catalytic converters on their cars.
00:07:30.000You go to, say, pills in Czechoslovakia, and there's just like soot and crap.
00:07:35.000You know, like, it's like China that way.
00:07:37.000In Taiwan, if you ride your bike anywhere, and then you get to where you're going, you wash your hands and your face, and you look at the towel, and there's your face and two hands there because there's just soot.
00:07:48.000It's like 1930s London everywhere, and that's the vibe I got when I was in the Czech Republic.
00:07:53.000So, although it's part of Europe, is it in the EU?
00:10:11.000However, are you not clearly mentally ill if you get that?
00:10:17.000And if so, are you not, as the person paying that person, are you not paying a mentally ill person?
00:10:22.000It's sort of like they say that, you know, encouraging someone to commit suicide is free speech.
00:10:27.000Well, if someone's going to listen to you, then it's like telling a person with Down syndrome to jump off a cliff because they'll be able to fly or something.
00:10:37.000So it's not someone totally of sound mind.
00:10:40.000By definition, if you're getting a forehead tattoo of a logo, you're not of sound mind.
00:10:45.000In fact, in Britain in the 70s, there was a classification you could get that was called ASBO or something, anti-social behavior ordinance.
00:10:55.000And basically, if you had a facial tattoo, it meant that you were clearly insane and totally unemployable.
00:13:57.000Well, the attorneys for the defendant said that the clients have never encouraged violence, and so I think maybe it might be inciting violence.
00:14:57.000And his forehead looks okay, so I guess he didn't get one.
00:15:00.000He's the one who got it on the knuckles.
00:15:02.000I remember they were on Tom Green when I first moved to New York, and they got into a fight backstage.
00:15:09.000I think Andrew W.K. was on the same show as them.
00:15:12.000And in the green room, and I knew Andrew W.K. then because I discovered him, there was a fight in the back room, and they ended up like having to make an escape, the bumfight kids, from MTV Studios because they were going to get beat up.
00:15:28.000I don't think it made the news, but I remember it then.
00:15:32.000Like Tom Green likes taking the piss, as they say in Britain, but I think everyone agrees, though it's difficult to articulate exactly how.
00:15:40.000I don't envy the judge that has to handle that case, but we all agree that free market or not, that's disgusting.
00:15:47.000However, what if a woman comes into your place and says, I'd like a Drake tattoo on my forehead, please?
00:16:00.000When Drake tattooed, when Drake tattooed, when Drake found out about this tattoo, and I think you got the A wrong, by the way, I think the A has a little hat on it, just like the K does.
00:17:06.000I like to get the argument into a place that's interesting.
00:17:09.000Right now in Clown World, we're way out there.
00:17:11.000Like with abortion, I think the argument should be from here, which is conception, to is the baby viable?
00:17:21.000Could it survive in a plexiglass box, which is like, what, 21 weeks now?
00:17:26.000That's where I want to keep the argument.
00:17:28.000But in Clown World, we're talking about a day after the baby's born.
00:17:32.000So all I want to do, I'm not a revolutionary.
00:17:35.000I just want to bring the clown world back into the realm of normalcy.
00:17:40.000And a good normal question is, should someone be allowed to get a forehead tattoo?
00:17:46.000By the way, the woman who got it, they've checked in on her since, and she doesn't seem like a junkie, and she seems perfectly happy, and she says she spent the money on her kids.
00:17:55.000She doesn't appear to be, like, junkies have bags under their eyes.
00:28:12.000And you're not going to like this, but I've started just, especially when I'm in the city, especially when I'm on my way back to Grand Central, I just sort of pick out all the change in my hand and just go, get this out of here.
00:34:27.000You have to make like tens of millions regularly to make that a business.
00:34:35.000There's probably like 100 people who make serious money on YouTube, like any kind of real money.
00:34:40.000But I'm watching it, and I'm looking at these stupid Torontonians who are threatening to call the police because you're near them with a hot dog.
00:35:18.000It's like the past three years, it's gone full-on Trump derangement syndrome.
00:35:24.000Yeah, well, like me and Jessica from the Rebel, we went to Ryerson University in Toronto, and we asked people, I came up with this idea, I came up with it, would you rather live under one year of Kim Jong-un or four years under Trump?
00:35:37.000And a lot of people chose Kim Jong-un.
00:37:39.000I thought they're against killing animals.
00:37:43.000Because the way I look at Toronto these days is I think if you're known as, you know, anyone slightly right of far, far, far, far left, you're a monster.
00:39:38.000Speaking of pathetic millennial, I wouldn't call them a YouTuber per se, but YouTubers, we should check in on them, not because we give a shit about whether they live or die, but because they sort of conduct the discussion for, I don't know, everyone from the age of well, six to 21.
00:40:33.000He's a beauty guru, and he was in trouble with another beauty guru, who's a woman named Tatty, because he hit on a male waiter, sorry, a male waiter who wasn't gay.
00:40:47.000She also thought that he doesn't promote her products enough.
00:40:51.000This is a big deal to these zeros, but they have tens of millions of followers, and your kids will care about what they have to say, so you should care.
00:40:59.000So let's see how long we can listen to James Charles respond to the allegations that he hits on straights and doesn't promote makeup enough.
00:42:16.000The video that Tati Westbrook uploaded to her channel titled "My Sister." Before I say anything at all, in this video I wanna make it very Notice the hand movements.
00:42:24.000That everything I said in that video with my sentiments towards Tati and my apology.
00:42:29.000I stand behind 100% and still reign true.
00:42:32.000Now, if you were paying attention to this even slightly, Jeffree Star is another homosexual and go to your own face.
00:42:45.000So Jeffree Star jumped in on this, and then Taddy is this, like, she's a 40-year-old woman who happens to be friends with, like, he's like 19 years old.
00:42:55.000Try to get to the part where it's even conceivable that I would care.
00:42:58.000Well, it's almost like a Me Too thing where she's trying to say that a straight guy.
00:43:06.000The straight guy came out with a video and he was like, yeah, I thought I was gay, so I went to his hotel room and kissed him for an hour, but then realized I'm not gay.
00:43:16.000What world are we living in where men are so brainwashed into being not homophobic that they go for an hour and go, nah, this isn't my cup.
00:44:08.000This is like when people are really into the Bible and they want you to be into it, so they coolify it and they go, so Jesus was like, fuck this to the archangels.
00:44:16.000And the archangels were like, man, I had enough of this guy's bullshit.
00:44:20.000So Jesus and God got together and they said, fuck you to Damocles.
00:44:26.000And then Isaiah and Caleb showed up and they were like, what the fuck?
00:44:31.000And you go, wow, I didn't know the Bible was so badass.
00:44:46.000The I'm a celebrity thing is really incredibly frustrating to me because this is an inside joke between my friends and I'm not sure if you guys are.
00:45:51.000This reminds me of Aziz Ansari's case, by the way.
00:45:54.000Remember where she said he raped her and she talked about performing fallatio on the young Indian gentleman like seven times, but he was way too horny for her or something like that?
00:46:04.000And you go, I don't usually fallate my rapists.
00:46:55.000You know what would be funny if they had two dads and it was these guys' fathers and Satan showed up and he said, look, I know you want to have sex with Kim Kardashian and the whole Kardashians except the mom.
00:48:10.000By the way, every time I say these names, know that they have 10 million followers.
00:48:16.000I wouldn't be wasting your time with these irrelevant YouTubers if they weren't incredibly relevant to a certain demographic.
00:48:22.000And as far as young people go, not just millennials, Gen Y, Gen Z, these guys are huge.
00:48:28.000So there's this annoying guy named Jake Paul, who I guess is the brother of another big guy, the guy who was making fun of people who had hanged themselves in a Japanese forest.
00:49:23.000Like I talked about Toy Story the other day setting up a bad narrative for kids where Little Bull Peep is helping poor Woody rock and roll.
00:50:12.000I'm about to confront like one of my biggest haters, 28-year-old wannabe comedian, Cody Ko.
00:50:19.000Or I saw this Cody Ko guy for the first time when he was working at Full Screen, which is like a YouTube community network as like a little back-end tech developer.
00:50:29.000And now he just shits on people to become famous.
00:51:59.000I think this is a very healthy thing for young men to do, is to mock other young men, especially when they're famous icons making tons of money, being butt kissers.
00:52:08.000the angle, though, that Jake Paul chose for that was that he's confronting a cyberbully because cyberbullying is a big problem.
00:52:16.000Yeah, cyberbullying, when we talk about that, we're talking about mean girls who are making a fat nine-year-old girl want to kill herself, and we don't want that nine-year-old girl to die.
00:52:26.000We're not talking about grown men being ridiculed.
