Gavin Mcgregor is a comedian, actor, writer, and podcaster. He's been in the public eye for over 20 years, and he's been around the block a few times, but he's never been on stage. And now he's here to talk about it.

00:03:06.000And from the Butthole Surfer song, 22 Going On 23, that's where I get most of my psychiatric research.
00:03:14.000When you have dreams and you don't come out the winner in them, that's what depression is.
00:03:21.000I'm not sure what came first, the chicken or the egg, but what you're supposed to do in a dream is if you lose or something bad's going on, try to get back to sleep and vanquish yourself.
00:03:42.000I think it was post-Vice, but pre-anything else.
00:03:47.000And I would just beat the living shit out of some guy reluctantly.
00:03:52.000He was chasing me and chasing me up and down alleys, and I would stop and kick the shit out of him, destroy him, and then he'd be like a bloody mess.
00:06:13.000We can't tell people where our studio is, but if we get a P.O. box, you can get your stupid presents and they can go fill the disgusting fag zone.
00:10:09.000I remember being on mushrooms as a teenager once, and I was walking.
00:10:17.000We were walking through the suburbs of Kanata, Ontario, and I was looking in, we were seeing houses and stuff.
00:10:25.000And I thought, everyone thinks there's all this gossip going on, and ooh, what's going on in there?
00:10:29.000Someone's fucking and blah, blah, blah.
00:10:31.000And I just, I had this epiphany where I saw how mundane we all are.
00:10:37.000Not in a negative way, per se, but just like we inject all this color and excitement in the things we can't see.
00:10:43.000But ultimately, when you do, you look at them, you go, I remember in Vice days, I used to go through all my employees' emails after work, expecting like some gossip, like, I'm in love with Joel, eh?
00:10:56.000And it was just like, you know, that's got to be on our desk by Friday, blah, blah, blah.
00:11:04.000So I saw through the walls of the homes we were walking by, and I saw like a guy in a bath, and I saw someone watching TV, and I saw someone cutting a grilled cheese in half, and not really doing anything.
00:11:14.000The grilled cheese would be the most exciting thing.
00:11:16.000And I don't know why that was such a huge epiphany, but it changed me forever.
00:11:27.000It's like when you meet a famous person, it's like their body of work is usually, it seems so larger than life because of the way it's presented on TV and there's editing.
00:11:37.000But then you meet somebody, you're like, oh, hey.
00:11:39.000And so at the end of the day, there's nothing really visually exciting.
00:12:14.000And Russell Brand and Matthew McConaughey would fall into that category.
00:12:19.000Russell Brand is, he's the child of a single mom, and he never got love from his parents.
00:12:26.000So everything is about me, me, me, me, me.
00:12:28.000And when you run an interview with that attitude, the questions are fucking long.
00:12:35.000Like Larry King, suspender man, he would, he grew up in Brooklyn with a loving family, and he would just ask a question, and half the time, the other person's doing most of the talking.
00:13:01.000Now, we live in a time, I feel, in my country and yours, where there's this sort of thing where I have sensed a lot of condemnation and criticism of what I might describe as ordinary working people, a kind of offhandedness of like, oh, they're dumb.
00:16:28.000I said, the other two sides, the two vehicles on either side of the political aisle are so far apart, their fucking tires aren't even on the pavement anymore.
00:18:28.000Yeah, so Russell Brand's trying to blow our minds by saying, I don't think you should shit on the working class.
00:18:33.000And then Matthew McConaughey's retort is, I have something even braver to say.
00:18:37.000Maybe the right and the left both have something to offer, and maybe we should try to get more center and try to be more reasonable and less extreme.
00:22:18.000According to Snation.com, according to documents obtained by MMA Fighting, Mayweather is guaranteed a $100 million disclosed purse for the fight, while McGregor will take home $30 million.
00:22:31.000Okay, so let's guess this won't be as popular.
00:22:36.000I'm just going to guess $60 for Mayweather and $10 for Logan Paul.
00:26:46.000We need to get back to quality storytelling.
00:26:49.000I've noticed this at my pub with liars like Joey that did Riga Mortis Man, but people are like, they're not colorful enough when they're telling stories and they're including themselves in it too much.
00:27:06.000I spun the nigga around and I put the nigga in the full Nelson because once the shots was going off, the two niggas was over there that was down there pulled out the hammer and the nigga right here pulls out the hammer.
00:29:23.000McConaughey criticizes his fellow actors.
00:29:28.000And then there was this insane story where we went up, found an asteroid, chased it, got a chunk off it, and then flew the thing back to analyze it.
00:29:58.000Sean still remembers seeing the blood.
00:30:00.000Imagine you have to see that all the fucking time and hear songs like Beautiful, Beautiful, Beautiful Boy, which is your dad singing to you.
00:30:12.000At the end of Beautiful Boy, he goes, go to bed, Sean.
00:35:00.000And now they're all pals, and she hangs out with them all the time.
00:35:04.000I'd like to hang out with someone who murdered a member of my family at a parking lot at four in the morning with hopefully no video cameras around.
00:35:12.000Linda Beale roars with frustrated laughter.
00:35:15.000My daughter's killers are like my children.
00:36:27.000A school district in San Diego held white privilege training for teachers in which they were told you are racist and were asked to commit to becoming anti-racist in the classroom.
00:36:37.000Isn't that like, wasn't that the law since the 60s that you have to be anti-racist?
00:37:02.000The New York Post said they're hamming it up for the cameras and totally exaggerating Hillbilly behavior.
00:37:07.000I realize that I think the writers at the New York Post have never hung out with Hillbillies or real white trash because my wife, who's got a lot of Indian relatives, sorry, and I, who have a lot of Scottish relatives, sorry, are used to seeing police take our relatives home or they stole from this thing and they robbed this charity or something like that.
00:37:57.000Not like his gay romance with his woman of color girlfriend.
00:38:03.000Oh, and by the way, in that scene, he's meeting this fancy law firm he wants to work at, and they find out that he's a hillbilly and everyone is really insensitive.
00:39:51.000I mean, once in a while, you can show me some like one-armed boxer who made it, but it's, it's, and if you shout a variety of weird things, like, I don't know, a blind guy who became a chess champion.
00:46:00.000No one, you're not even close to passing.
00:46:02.000And it's not trans or you're just a normal, young, gay lad repeating tropes like a fucking robot with lipstick all over your teeth and your mom's earrings.
00:47:53.000It's making maybe making you less safe because it's making you annoying.
00:47:59.000From their work and from their efforts, for white people to stand back and wait for black women to save this country, a country that has fought against them from a day long.
00:48:10.000I love how he's not just a woman, but he's like this, what's her name?
00:48:16.000I always get in trouble for pronouncing that wrong.
00:48:18.000But he's this empowered woman who's had enough.
00:48:21.000She's got like, I think she has grandkids, the woman he's doing.
00:48:24.000Maybe he's doing his grandmother, but she has five other kids and she worked, kept her family together, kept her family safe and cooked and cleaned and always wore a nice dress and little kitten heels.
00:48:36.000And she's always been a hard-working gal with real values, hard scrabble values.
00:48:43.000And meanwhile, it's a 19-year-old homosexual boy.
00:48:48.000I mean, I know this is low-hanging fruit, but that's who he thinks he is.
00:48:52.000A very false and phony system are dividing men's intellect, man's mind from reality, of declaring that what he is.
00:50:33.000Like, I don't, I wouldn't even, it's not my cup of tea, but a Black Panther tattoo, if it's like the 60s and stuff, I could kind of see the appeal.
00:50:41.000She would have other tattoos of like the White Panthers and other revolutionary groups, I guess, to sort of count it so you don't look like a total racial cuck.
00:51:02.000Children all over the place who didn't know who he was.
00:51:04.000He was a fucking lifelong career criminal drug addict retard who was fighting with cops, who died because he ate his fentanyl, which is probably the deadliest drug in the history of drugs.
01:01:54.000So they're doing toys for tots, and Antifa wants to shut it down.
01:02:00.000They did the same thing a bit back with a fundraiser for kids' bikes using the designation from the SPLC, a known anti-American communist hate group masquerading as a civil rights org.
01:07:01.000They have been lying for so long saying proud boys are giving out racist bikes to children that when they get reality like a mirror or a Zoom or a fact, it becomes a hate fact.
01:07:14.000So they've created a world that is so far down the rabbit hole of insanity that reality is offensive to them.
01:11:43.000Parent, You shouldn't know your kid's fantasy football team.
01:11:46.000Unless maybe there were, like, somebody was like, Dude, it was so bad, it was like Auschwitz.
01:11:50.000And he's just like, Oh, Auschwitz is like a bad.
01:11:52.000I think what happened is he probably looked up funniest names for a fantasy football team, and there's probably like Belson was a gas or something like that.
01:15:42.000It looks, things are rarely what they appear these days, but it looks like some guy said, look, fuck it, let's die with our boots on and we're going to go bankrupt anyway, so let's die fighting.
01:15:54.000That's the narrative that I think is the most likely.
01:15:57.000But there's a possibility, let's say a one in five chance, that these guys were just being used.
01:16:03.000Scott Lebedo, who I love to death, maybe said, guys, we got to fight.
01:16:17.000I mean, you can't hit a cop with a car, even in police-hating New York.
01:16:22.000And by the way, I would think I was a little too nice to these sheriffs the other day.
01:16:28.000I know you have to enforce the law, but I'm starting to change my mind about cutting them slack.
01:16:36.000Yeah, Tim Poole calls them oathbreakers because they're not upholding the Constitution because you should have fair laws all around and one block has to do this while another block works.
01:16:47.000Well, they say it's because the cases are higher there.
01:16:50.000But the cases are higher because it's a poorer area.
01:17:08.000He's probably better by Thursday, but it counts as three cases of COVID.
01:17:12.000So that might be why the cases are so high.
01:17:16.000But it also can't be a coincidence that the mayor and the governor want to shit on a place that was probably the highest density of Trump voters outside of maybe Breezy Point, which was 75.
01:17:34.000Pete Davidson got up on SNL to do the least funny shit.
01:17:38.000Hey, Pete, Muslims killed your father.
01:17:41.000You might want to try being Islamophobic.
01:17:43.000You might want to try being a little more conservative because the left loves Islam and would allow, I don't know if you ever checked out Europe, France just had a teacher beheaded.
01:17:55.000He went back to Chechnya, massive parade for his funeral.
01:17:58.000They're very happy with him over in Chechnya.
01:19:15.000I mean, kind of, but I'm also just happy I'm no longer the first thing people think of when they say, what's the worst thing about Staten Island?
01:21:03.000One guy at the protest even gave a speech where he literally compared not being able to drink indoors to being Jewish during the Holocaust, which must have been awkward for the people.
01:21:13.000It's not a very bloody analogy, but it comes up quite a bit, and it's usually from you guys.
01:21:18.000Who had to suddenly pretend they believed in the Holocaust.
01:21:22.000See, this is fucking Uncle Tom mania because he's a Staten Islander.
01:22:26.000It's really like, it's like a high school show that because the high school is really well funded and they actually have a TV studio in the high school.
01:22:34.000And they do the fucking Earl of March, that was my high school, TV report.
01:22:40.000And you'd watch that as a parent and go, pretty good.
01:23:04.000Speaking of the stress trans people go through, some guy, I shouldn't have laughed before I introduced this, had a meltdown stuck in the house.
01:23:13.000He's a personal trainer, so he's probably going broke.
01:24:40.000No, that's not the whole story, Gavin.
01:24:42.000She was depressed because we wouldn't let her family see her, and she said she didn't want to live anymore if she can't be with her family.
01:24:49.000So then it became a new topic, and that was, should you euthanize elderly people who are suffering to put them out of their misery?
01:24:58.000But you created the misery, and what you just said is a long version of what I just said.
01:28:21.000Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, who showed up at a recent rally in an armored car, is just one of the Stop the Steel promoters embracing the chance to cash in, using the slogan to help sell mail enhancement supplements and Armageddon survivor products.
01:28:36.000Others asking for money are much more direct.
01:28:45.000I've called him a Roger Stone wannabe in a past story about how Trump's ally, Roger Stone, actually began Stop the Steel back in 2016.
01:28:54.000Alexander has launched a Stop the Steel website seeking donations and claiming he doesn't have time to start a stupid non-profit or LLC, so just send him the money by Bitcoin, Litecoin, PayPal, Cash App, to be used, he says,
01:29:09.000to organize protests across the country like this one.
01:29:12.000He's organizing protests across the country.
01:30:42.000I feel like they're just bombing random emails.
01:30:45.000The president and his family with messages like, my team has given me a list of patriots who stepped up to help us.
01:30:51.000I've noticed your name is still missing.
01:30:55.000My father wants to know who is standing with him.
01:30:58.000Democrats are doing everything they can to steal the election.
01:31:02.000You ever seen anything quite like this before?
01:31:05.000I've seen people try to raise money off of all sorts of crises, all sorts of problems, both fake and real, but I've never seen one like this connected to our elections and basically challenging the legitimacy of our elections.
01:32:17.000Where County Georgia has broken the Dominion algorithm using sequestered Dominion equipment, where County ran an equal number of Trump votes and Biden votes through the tabulator.
01:32:26.000And the tabulator reported a 26% lead for Biden.
01:32:31.000That seems to me to be real fucking big.
01:33:41.000And then finally, we're seeing these senators, Democrat senators, Elena Parent and Jennifer Jordan, defending the counting and saying that everything was legit.
01:33:56.000Elena Parent was senator, they're both senators, counting ballots in DeKalb, Georgia.
01:34:00.000This is a question mark, but people are going over the pictures of them in the hearings and them in the election rooms, and it appears they were the ones doing the counting.
01:34:13.000She's a very lefty activist senator, too.
01:34:59.000It looks like two judges, a black woman who was appointed by Obama and a white guy who was appointed by George W. Bush, said, fuck you to Sidney Powell.
01:36:48.000Didn't you grow up thinking judges were wise and had the will of the people in mind and made good decisions and cared about justice?
01:36:57.000The judge's decision came after a federal judge in Michigan on Monday issued yet another withering opinion dismissing an effort by legal allies of President Trump to overturn millions of votes in Battleground, Michigan.
01:37:07.000I'm getting too stupid to know what the fuck is going on here.
01:37:10.000So does this mean Sidney Powell's entire case is garbage?
01:37:13.000Or does this just mean her kraken is dead?
01:37:16.000Because both of those are pretty bad news.
01:37:19.000This is a roller coaster ride, folks, of up and down and up and down.
01:37:23.000But I think after a few ups with that Dominion machine, and it's sad that our ups are evidence of our whole country being shit and a fraud.
01:37:33.000But the down is the case getting thrown out, and it feels like we're in a bit of a down right now.
01:37:40.000Anyway, I want to get away from COVID talk and election gate.
01:37:44.000We'll definitely update you with the big ones, but I want to start having fun again.
01:37:49.000So let's go to the mailbag because that's where fun comes from.
01:39:40.000I can see they're beautiful, but they're not like a woman.
01:39:43.000Can you have Turd Flinging Monkey on a show?
01:39:46.000He's an Afghanistan vet who exclusively has sex with sex dolls and argues that women should have their rights taken away to increase the fertility rate.
01:43:16.000Also, Captain Rock enrolled Dave Grohl as one of the cringiest douches out there, claiming, we got to save rock and bring it back to the mainstream, but writing radio rock trash himself and disregarding the bands who are genuinely inspired.
