00:06:52.000When you're 80, all men, especially white men, I don't know why I said that.
00:06:58.000All men who live after 75, it's all gravy after 75.
00:07:10.000I did say once on my TV show on free speech.tv back in 2019, I said I would hope to make it more than that, but this scenario, I guess, was nostradamus.
00:09:28.000I believe he beat the crap out of his wives, as a lot of boomers did.
00:09:32.000The funny thing about domestic violence is it's so rare today.
00:09:37.000But I think a lot of the sort of persecution that happens in court when they get so mad about it is because they're remembering the boomers of the early 70s, late 60s.
00:09:48.000And those guys did get up to hitting their wives on a regular basis.
00:09:52.000In fact, Norman Mailer stabbed his wife and punched her in the stomach when she was pregnant because he didn't want a baby.
00:10:01.000And Rip Torn and Norman Mailer were in this really crappy, self-indulgent boomer movie called Maidenhead or Matchstick or Maid Game or something.
00:13:53.000This might be all this like stopping fighting in school and making sure there's no conflict and calling the police every time there's the smallest problem.
00:13:59.000Maybe they go, oh, there's no such thing as ramifications.
00:14:02.000And the next thing you know, you're licking ice cream because you think it's funny.
00:15:48.000A bunch of Puerto Rican politicians have been arrested for corruption.
00:15:51.000And if you recall, after the hurricane, Trump kept getting called racist because he doubted that Puerto Rico could handle the $70 million he had promised them.
00:16:03.000And he saw it just going through into, like a sieve, going into the pockets of their corrupt politicians.
00:16:25.000The best thing that ever happened to Puerto Rico is President Donald J. Trump, he said.
00:16:31.000So many wonderful people with such bad island leadership and with so much money wasted, a lot of money wasted, cannot continue to hurt our farmers and states with these massive payments and so little appreciation.
00:19:34.000so this is how they see black people: they're either totally cowed and scared, so they sort of bow down and almost like you know, when you're trying to subdue a wolf and you go lower than the wolf and crawl over, okay, it's okay, or they, you know, they accept the alpha dog in the pack and they sort of look down, scared and ashamed, hoping the dog won't bite them.
00:19:57.000So, I was watching Anderson Cooper do this thing on this street artist, uh, JR, whatever the hell his name is.
00:20:02.000He's the guy that does the big wheat pastes, and they take him back to his black neighborhood.
00:20:07.000Also, complaining about racism in Paris is ridiculous.
00:23:36.000It's bizarre to me, but it's what it might be is this latent insecurity, like you're better than me, but then also trying to overcome that.
00:23:47.000So pretending that you're patronizing them.
00:27:30.000And he's making fun of interviewers when he goes like this and goes like this and goes, Paul Tompkins is being a Martin Short character as he cherishes his little pet blacks.
00:29:08.000Anyway, so he shakes the hands of two fans that happen to be black, and then afterwards, it's like at that gas, like the gas station kiosk thing, and he grabs paper towels and wipes his hands off.
00:29:31.000It's because it's her favorite character in Orange, the new black.
00:29:33.000No one can really explain to me why you're not allowed to make your face brown if you're dressing as a black person.
00:29:39.000Like, I remember hearing about this kid who got kicked out of school because on MLK Day, he was doing a presentation as MLK and he browned up his face.
00:30:07.000Some studies, there was an article on Reason.com that said 80% of it was an homage because white people were square and boring Puritans back then, and they saw black people having parties and having culture and having slang and having music, and they acted them out because it was exciting to them.
00:30:24.000White people have always been fascinated by black people.
00:31:45.000Okay, I thought we would have, speaking of African-American, the African-American experience, I think I would like to introduce to you a little piece I put together for today's show called Heroes of Color.
00:32:00.000And on this particular episode, we'll be looking at great African-American entertainers and politicians, activists, and the wonderful people who shaped them, who helped them become who they are today.
00:32:17.000And I think it helps you understand that person and that person's culture a lot better, the culture that they grew up in.
00:32:25.000So this was inspired by Kamala Harris, who was talking about busing, Which I guess happened in Montreal, where she went to high school.
00:32:35.000But yeah, let's start with my favorite example, which is Corey Booker.
00:32:40.000Now, Corey Booker's parents were, this was sent in a separate email, by the way.
00:33:17.000Back when Corey moved there, it was 100% white.
00:33:20.000Oh, there's a great picture of Harrington Park.
00:33:22.000It sort of sums up Corey Booker's lifestyle with the kayaks.
00:33:25.000I mean, I'm sure back in his day, it was canoes and the rowing club.
00:33:29.000But Harrington Park is who Corey Booker is.
00:33:33.000Those are Corey Booker's people, if you see them there.
00:33:35.000And I think while we're thanking Corey for his remarkable contributions to politics and activism, we should thank Harrington Park and their culture, their beautiful waterfront, their beautiful real estate, their incredible academic institutions, because they created Corey Booker.
00:33:52.000And the Corey Booker experience, if that was a band, all the musicians would be in kayaks.
00:34:25.000Or a little bit older, so maybe late 70s, where it would be much less diverse than you see here.
00:34:32.000Westmount, of course, was much more populated back in the 70s, but separatism and terrorism from the separatists pushed a lot of the rich white people over to Toronto.
00:34:43.000But back when Kamala was there, it was exactly like Harrington Park, but more Jewish.
00:34:50.000So I would like to thank Westmount High School in Montreal for shaping the Kamala experience, the Kamala Harris we know today.
00:34:57.000And also, her black father, whose family owns slaves, was not around.
00:35:02.000Let's have a moment of silence for that.
00:35:22.000So she didn't just have the white Jewish experience when she was in Montreal or the Canadian experience also.
00:35:28.000She also had the Indian experience with her Indian mother.
00:35:30.000It's not easy to find pictures of her Indian mother.
00:35:33.000She's usually surrounded with more black people.
00:35:36.000But I guess the people and the institutions I want to thank for Kamala Harris would be Montreal, Westmount, the Jewish people, and the Indian people, Shyamala Goapalan.
00:35:50.000Which brings us to one of the greatest black politicians of all time, Barack Obama.
00:35:57.000And while we're thanking him, I think we have to look at who raised him.
00:36:02.000Much like Kamala Harris, his black dad was not around, unfortunately.
00:36:07.000So he was raised in Hawaii by this turgid communist, Ann Durham.
00:36:14.000I think Ann's father, another academic communist, also raised him.
00:36:20.000So when we're thanking everyone for Barack, I think we have to also thank Hawaii and Hawaiian academics and white communists, right?
00:36:29.000If you go down a little bit more, I think her grand, there we go.
00:37:28.000His dad, unfortunately, was not around.
00:37:31.000But Sandy Graham was there, Jewish woman in Montreal, helping him to grow the Canadian, again, like Kamal Harris, that wonderful Canadian education, just one province over in Ontario, making Drake who he is, employing him.
00:37:47.000He was a successful actor on DeGrassy Jr.
00:37:56.000And that brings us to, of course, Mariah Carey.
00:37:58.000You'll see here at the BET Awards all the time, celebrating black musicians.
00:38:03.000Unfortunately, her father was not around.
00:38:05.000And she was raised by her mother, Patricia Carey, wonderful woman, single mom who busted her ass, much like Kamala Harris's mom, Obama's mom, Drake's mom, and Alicia Keys' mom.
00:38:18.000Alicia Keys, of course, her father, unfortunately, was not around.
00:38:22.000And she was raised by Tariah Joseph, wonderful woman, hardworking gal.
00:38:28.000She was a redhead in her earlier days.
00:38:32.000And she kind of looks like Melissa Harris Perry's mother, Diana Gray.
00:38:37.000And unfortunately, Melissa Harris-Perry's father was out of the picture pretty early in the game.
00:38:43.000And I believe she was raised in the Midwest, you know, potato country, and lots of country music and Christmas trees and, you know, fries and meatloaf and what else?
00:40:20.000Well, I assume every time we loud Steve Harvey's success, these people are prominently featured as someone who loved him, took him in, helped him get educated, and made him the man he is today.
00:40:34.000Which brings me to my favorite example, of course, Colin Kaepernick, who, just like Steve, was abandoned by both his mother and his father.
00:40:43.000The previous cases, it's all the dad, but his mother and his father stuck around.
00:40:47.000I mean, sorry, his mother and his father did the opposite of stick around.
00:40:51.000And strangely enough, I don't think they're called the Kaepernicks.
00:42:09.000I like, I'm okay with headlines that are misleading and they're bombastic and hyperbolic, like why I hate Ryan Ketsu Rivera, 10 Reasons Why, 10 Things I Hate About the Goddamn Jews.
00:42:20.000And then you watch it and you go, oh, he hates that they don't love Trump because Trump loves them.
00:43:00.000Let's see what I don't know about someone I consider a friend.
00:43:04.000You might know him as a UFC commentator, a stand-up comedian, the host of Fear Factor, or the mastermind behind the wildly popular Joe Rogan Experience podcast, which earns over 30 million downloads a month.
00:43:15.000But no matter how you know Joe Rogan, chances are there are still some things about him you don't know.
00:43:20.000Here's a look at the untold truth of Joe Rogan.
00:43:25.000Joe Rogan is almost solely responsible for ruining the reputation of once popular comedy central filmmaker Carlos Mencia, according to Rogan's blog, while hosting an event at West Hollywood's comedy store.
00:43:35.000Who in the Sam hell doesn't know that Joe Rogan tore Carlos Mencia a new ass by catching him stealing, I believe, about 40 major jokes?
00:43:46.000That is, I think that's how everyone got to know Joe Rogan.
00:43:50.000Sure, we saw him on radio days or whatever, and some in the LA comedy scene had heard of him too.
00:43:57.000But what really brought him to international fame was that he had the balls to call out Carlos Mencia.
00:44:04.000And guess where this guy heard about it?
00:45:09.000They wouldn't take any of our executive Zoe Franklin turning down the show, with Rogan stating on his podcast that he felt a woman shouldn't have been running a show created for men.
00:50:28.000That was a really funny joke, Dr. Zeus.
00:50:32.000Yeah, you know what's ironic about that Homeless Gavin video is it's clickbait, and they offer substance, and then you click on it, and it's all bullshit.
00:50:40.000And the irony is Joe Rogan's the opposite.
00:50:42.000It'll just be like talking to a chemist, and then you click on it, and it's three hours of incredible information about how our lives are affected by carcinogens or something like that.
00:50:53.000So you're taking one of the most substantive people on YouTube and making a stupid, useless, substanceless video.
00:51:02.000It's basically like the life hacks where we glue an eraser here, stick a tack in it, and say, you can hang a rubber band if you want.
00:52:47.000Plus, I ran vice, so that wasn't a challenge.
00:52:51.000But anyway, I'm just amazed at how bad it is at the pictures.
00:52:57.000Men don't seem to understand how women's brains work, and the pictures they put up on these dating apps are gay, for lack of a better word.
00:53:09.000Now, I sent you these in a separate email.
00:54:00.000If some woman says, I don't mind if you screw around, I guess you'd be kind of hurt that she doesn't care, but you're not going to be too angry, especially if she says, I think I might be by.
00:54:11.000I'm going to be bringing home women on a regular basis.
00:54:32.000Be in a bar with a brandy, with the lighting nice, and be wearing a really tailored suit, a perfect suit, and be like, that's what I would do.
01:02:00.000I mean, there's women who have burns and stuff, but as far as no accidents and no diseases, like a natural head, she's the ugliest woman in America.
01:02:11.000She challenges the definition of female.
01:05:12.000Shit, a cool guy with a killer record collection.
01:05:14.000I hope Peter and the Test 2 babies make it off the record, by the way.
01:05:18.000I can't believe I haven't covered Peter and the Test 2 Babies.
01:05:21.000They're one of my favorite bands of all time.
01:05:23.000In fact, Anal Shinook, my band, kind of mirrored their style, and I believe it was called Clown Punk, where there'd be, you know, a lot of jokes.
01:05:45.000And just one last insulting British letter from a woman.
01:05:51.000Hey, just watched a recent GM EPS, and I'm sorry, but you talk so much shit sometimes.
01:05:55.000In the episode, you said that Dragon's Den show was proof that Brits are weak.
01:05:59.000You're an idiot and base all your theories on shit.
01:06:03.000The reason everyone you see on Dragon's Den is nervous and having a panic attack is because the difference between American and British TV.
01:06:10.000I've worked in reality shows in both countries and the way they are edited is very different.
01:06:15.000American audiences typically enjoy watching success stories, whereas British audiences prefer seeing fuck-ups slash train wrecks.
01:06:22.000So on British reality shows, if say only 20% of the people who go on the show fuck up and 80% give a good presentation, the whole show will be edited down to the 20% who fucked up.
01:06:33.000It's not a representation of the majority.
01:06:35.000By the way, the accent I'm doing is someone who grew up in Croydon, but they're trying to sound posh.
01:06:42.000So sometimes they enunciate water, but it's an affectation and they really, when they're drunk or sleeping, they'll go water.
01:09:26.000Anyway, we like to end this show with a viral video.
01:09:30.000And I think while we're talking about weirdos like Jack Stauber, who we opened the show with, I'd like to say that his kooky, weird way of editing is totally normal in India because I don't know, they have no epileptics there.
01:09:45.000Check out the way they make a point in Indian drama.
01:09:48.000This is not a joke and hasn't been re-edited by a hipster.
01:09:53.000wait go back to the beginning dude turn it up Who are you looking at, God?
01:10:10.000This is how I would look at someone if I was at their funeral, bawling my eyes out, and then I realized, no, they faked their death.
01:10:18.000Even then, I don't think I'd be that freaked out.
01:10:21.000Yeah, I wouldn't slip upside down for a millisecond.
01:10:26.000Still going with this point, but it's a big deal.
01:11:43.000Yeah, so what a joke to Jack Stabber doing weird art is totally normal entertainment in India because India is obviously a shithole country.
