On this week's episode of Dead On My Lawn, Ryan and I discuss a wide range of topics, including the fact that we both grew up in the 80s and early 90s, and the rise in anti-Asian hate crimes in America.

00:05:14.000Last thing, personally, I was an online left-wing personality.
00:05:18.000No, if I was an online left-wing personality, I would blame the spike in homicide on neoliberalism instead of pretending it doesn't exist out of fake solidarity with black families disproportionately hurt by gun violence.
00:16:16.000He just, like, one time we were in New Orleans, and there was a vampire, and he had the teeth, and they looked real, and he had the cloak, and he was posing for pictures, and he was a young guy, and you could tell that he wasn't embarrassed by this.
00:16:30.000He thought he was like being a cool vampire, like not the obvious one.
00:21:10.000My favorite kind of movies, though, is when the guy, like I've talked about this a million times, when Russell Crowe has to bust his wife out of prison, and he's not a ninja, and he does it the way you and I would do it, where he fucks up and he gets beat up, getting to know criminals, and he pays all this money, and he gets robbed.
00:21:26.000But eventually, he figures out how to bust his fucking wife out of prison, which is so cool.
00:21:54.000I call him Liam Nissan because when my wife was in college, she was with this black power mulatto roommate that hated white people and had like black fists everywhere.
00:22:04.000And my wife kept catching her watching Liam Neeson movies.
00:22:08.000And she'd go, oh, I couldn't help but notice you were enjoying a certain white person.
00:23:49.000My orders are to take them back with me.
00:23:58.000Well, I'm not sure I'm too thrilled with the general message, which is take them all in.
00:24:03.000This is like Chris Hayes yesterday, right?
00:24:05.000Where he said, the coverage of the border just furthers the myth that we should just keep them over there and let them deal with their own problems.
00:24:32.000Much of the border coverage serves as a kind of retroactive endorsement of the Trump policy of functionally closing the border and allowing all of the same harms to transpire just out of view and on someone else's soil.
00:24:50.000Much of the border coverage, it serves as a retroactive endorsement of what Trump was doing, which was closing the border and allowing all of the same harms to transpire.
00:25:00.000Allowing all of you not opening the borders, you're allowing harms to transpire in other countries.
00:25:10.000I am presently, right now, I am allowing harms to transpire in Germany.
00:25:16.000I am currently, as you're looking at me right now with those gorgeous peepers of yours, I am allowing harm to transpire in the entire continent of Africa from top to bottom.
00:25:54.000Somebody, I remember seeing the thing where it said the border being opened, like Biden's policies about the borders, like a national security threat?
00:26:02.000And there's some, I mean, nothing ever happens from this, but it said an investigation is opening.
00:26:06.000I remember back when I sang with liberals, they would say, What was her name?
00:26:26.000Today's book is Michael Borde's Even a Daughter is Better Than Nothing.
00:26:31.000This is possibly the weirdest book I've ever read, and it's not that weird as far as the writing goes, but he just Michael Bord is this weird bisexual from back when no one was bisexual.
00:26:40.000He used to write for the punk magazine Maximum Rock and Roll, old Jewish guy.
00:26:47.000And he blew my mind as a young kid when I was a teenager reading a maximum rock and roll because he would say shit that was so politically incorrect way back then when no one was doing it.
00:28:18.000He goes to the fucking top of China and just writes about it up there and the people and the gross food they eat and how nothing works up there and they're obviously misogynist attitudes.
00:29:40.000And then I like to earn my breakfast, so I'll just have some green powder and some organic brain oils.
00:29:46.000And then I'll go on a hike up a mountain, think about life.
00:29:51.000I have a deal with Amazon right now where I come up with characters for myself, but then I spend half the time thinking about characters for visible minorities and women because I want to be part of the conversation, and I think they deserve so much more as far as roles go.
00:31:34.000He's a fucking loser-vapid piece of shit.
00:31:39.000Anyway, that was proven recently when he was asked by the Independent.
00:31:43.000No, sorry, the Sunday Times to talk about his typical day.
00:31:48.000And I love, one great thing about social media and this sort of transparency of celebrity is we're really peeling back the curtain and realizing how completely useless these attractive people are.
00:32:25.000Oh, he finally earns his breakfast by 9 a.m.
00:32:28.000And that's usually porridge with some Hazelnut milk, cinnamon vanilla paste, hazelnuts, goji berries, a vegan protein powder, and a cup of PG tips, which is tea.
00:32:39.000I'm 90% plant-based, so I'll only eat a really good piece of red meat, maybe once a month.
00:32:44.000I sometimes look at a cow, that's the cow one.
00:36:32.000And then some dude that used to date, that's married to Jay's ex-girlfriend, was pouring over pictures and being like, here he is at 350 in the top right.
00:36:41.000Like Twitter just couldn't help to expose him.
00:36:44.000They were besides themselves with joy.
00:37:14.000And I'll find my way to get back home again.
00:37:17.000Yeah, well, there's, you know what I was talking to Rufio Panman the other day, and he pointed out, we were all going to a Michael Graves party that wasn't in DC.
00:37:25.000And then Enrique, this might have been the same thing.
00:37:27.000They wanted to go to bars where they weren't going to get killed.
00:37:30.000And the last two times they went to Harry's, they got stabbed.
00:37:32.000I said, don't go to D.C., but I guess they figured, we'll still go to D.C., but we'll leave.
00:37:36.000So they all had plans to leave, and there's all records of this.
00:37:39.000Uh-oh, I'm too fat to close this blazer now.
00:37:42.000There's records of them saying, we've got to go to this, we got to go to that.
00:37:45.000And so Michael Graves must have text saying, yeah, come by my thing.
00:40:14.000I think a federal prosecutor now with the law firm said while bail arguments do not require the same high standard of proof as criminal trials and can sometimes venture into hyperbole.
00:42:41.000Did another tour, and it was World War II this time, and they're saying it was a trap where the Germans allowed the English to think that they were pushing the Germans back, and then they had them surrounded and would just envelop them.
00:42:53.000And I get that concept, especially with modern technology and great drones and stuff.
00:42:59.000But I don't get how in World War II, when I don't even understand how you could follow a map back then, there was so much shelling that it was just a desert of mud and broken trees and bramble and shelled out buildings.
00:43:12.000How the fuck did anyone know where they were?
00:43:52.000Or I saw this thing on my Instagram and it was like a sponsored thing, but it was some science doohickey where the guy like glued two, four bolts to a plug, and then he took the positive and the negative plug and he wrapped copper wire around both bolts about 10 times.
00:44:08.000And then he plugs in a light bulb and it comes on.
00:46:19.000Because Jesse Kessler used to hang out with me.
00:46:23.000The guy with the mustache and the dark hair.
00:46:25.000Now, him and I overlap politically because he is an Indian.
00:46:30.000He does not look at buddy, but his mom is from India.
00:46:34.000And his dad is white and he got a lot of the white stuff.
00:46:36.000But you can tell by the mustache, he got a lot of the Indian stuff.
00:46:40.000And Indians, generally, if they're well-informed, they're not fans of radical Islam because Indians were killed to the tune of about a million.
00:46:48.000See, no one ever talks about this, but Britain said, all right, Pakistan, you don't like being in India?
00:46:58.000But as the Pakistanis were going north to Pakistan and the Indians were coming south, the Indians coming south were slaughtered, massacred.
00:47:09.000Actually, both sides were massacring, but the Muslims were destroying Indians.
00:47:13.000They're still destroying Indians on a regular basis.
00:48:13.000So even though he got out at the very, very beginning and never spoke to me once again after that, and we were pretty close, the fact is that he knew me once and he must pay for that.
00:48:22.000But this article gets even stupider than that.
00:48:25.000You see, Death from Above, she goes, I suspected he was a Nazi because he once knew Gavin McInnis, but then they go, it's proven because, ready for the smoking gun?
00:48:35.000Death from Above have a song called Dead Womb, wherein they state, I'm sick of girls, sluts coming up to me with cocaine and wanting to meet in the bathroom or something like that.
00:49:45.000And that was the beginning of their career.
00:49:48.000I'm relieved we still live in a culture where an artist's association with the alt-right, alt-right, what is this, 2016, provokes disgust and disavowal.
00:49:57.000But I am also genuinely confused by the surprise.
00:50:00.000Why do you so Death from Above's brand has been hipster men's rights activists from the start?
00:50:53.000They telegraphed it with their song Dead Womb where they said they'd like to marry a woman and not just bang her in the bathroom with Coke.
00:51:42.000In this article, you talk about how it took you years to write this article and you wrote a lot about Death from Above, but never published it.
00:51:47.000In other words, I wrote about them in my diary.
00:51:51.000I have a lot of diary entries about my love for Sebastian, the other guy.
00:58:45.000so, again, I don't have a problem with women writing.
00:58:48.000I just hate when I can tell that women are being promoted in the art world or in the media world or in any world just because they're women.
00:58:54.000And it's so obvious they suck, and it's so embarrassing.
00:58:56.000For example, Fantagraphics just put out this book this lesbian did.
01:05:48.000And then you take this test and you're like, maybe not.
01:05:50.000And I'm not broken or whatever, but like to hear as a woman, like you're going to have issues and like that your body is like not up to par.
01:09:14.000Please, Brian, get in the habit of moving it over.
01:09:16.000You can look on your monitor and see what I can and can't read.
01:09:21.000If every black person purchased an assault rifle and carry it around, sick, carry it around in public like these gun nuts, Republicans would ban guns in minutes.
01:09:31.000That's the kind of thing you say when you're 13, I think.
01:09:34.000And then this chick I never heard of before, snarky tea smuggler, goes oops and shows, you know, Maj Touré's thing, black guns matter, and shows us tons of dudes from today with their guns, no one giving a shit, people loving it.
01:09:48.000No problems, especially with conservatives.
01:09:50.000Conservatives love Maj Touré and Black Guns Matter.
01:09:54.000And you go, okay, that's good, because some asshole posts something like that, and then the Freedom of Information Act, the Free Market of Ideas, shows him that he's wrong.
01:12:45.000Because he didn't go, remember that amazing video where the guy crashes his Ford, whatever, his big Ford Lincoln navigator, and he gets out of the thing and he just starts going, walking at the cops.
01:12:59.000Yeah, you're not going to be taken away peacefully after that.
01:13:16.000I'll bet my salary right now, the shooter in Boulder is a right-wing mega male.
01:13:20.000Okay, well, people certainly get angry when you bring up that most mass shooters in America are white men, but the statistics show they are.
01:13:26.000Would have lost my salary on this bet, but most times it's a safe bet that terrorists in America are white males.
01:13:31.000That's the accepted narrative because white males are the majority of shooters in this country, sort of, if you look at the population.
01:13:40.000But if you look at how they appear in the race stats, they are alarmingly underrepresented here.
01:15:15.000So some years most are, and that's still not representational of the population.
01:15:21.000But some years, you could even pretend that we live in a country that's mostly black because blacks are not just overrepresented as regards to the population, they're overrepresented in the raw numbers, depending on the year.
01:15:36.0002019, it's looking pretty much 50-50, don't you think?
01:17:20.000Now, this is something that John Oliver did that has 6 million views, where he breaks down exactly how Tucker Carlson is a white supremacist.
01:17:29.000I am going to go through this, but it's going to take an hour and a half.
01:17:32.000So we won't put it on today's show, but I'll release it tomorrow as a censor.tv presents.
01:19:59.000And when we don't engage with the people who are like, when we keep hiring consultants to do meetings for us, what ends up happening is because they don't have those relationships with community members, they end up relying on folks who do to do those things.
01:24:31.000I was kind of, because I was listening to music and shit in my car, so it was loud and I wasn't really paying attention.
01:24:36.000So I got out and I see the Tam car crash into the front of the building.
01:24:42.000And then I see Homie walking up the ramp.
01:24:46.000And then I'm kind of walking around and I still don't really know what's up.
01:24:49.000I thought the dude just crashed and people were going over to him because then people were making a big deal because some dude just flew through the parking lot and crashed into the side of the building.
01:24:58.000But then I walked over to some other dude and said, I think there's an active shooter.
01:25:29.000So the cops were probably like, I don't know, maybe like five minutes after I got there.
01:25:33.000And then probably like four cars just line up right in front of like the entrance and like eight dudes just hop out with a riot shield and just storm the front of the building and they all walk in.
01:25:45.000And so I'm just kind of watching like, what the fuck?
01:25:48.000And I saw my cat in my fucking car because I had just had him there anyway.
01:25:53.000And then you drive around with your cat in the car?
01:25:58.000Yeah, well, just this, I mean, this one particular time, I just threw him in the car because he don't like to fuck fuck out the windshield and shit.
01:26:04.000So sometimes when he's at the door, when I'm walking out, I'll pick him up and throw him in because I'll just run it down to the grocery store.
01:26:08.000And what were you going to get at the grocery store?
01:26:19.000And then so I'm chilling there, and then eventually some bitch comes over, like some cop, and she's screaming her head off.
01:26:25.000And then I don't know how much of the coverage you've seen, but there's some lady, this like Mexican lady who's screaming her fucking head off on every interview.
01:30:16.000I'm a Derek Dew behind the current show.
01:30:18.000Knowing my luck, this has already been sent and is ancient Chinese secret.
01:30:21.000But if you need to know, this is here is a David Bob video sketch.
01:30:25.000Dude, this is the song we played on the fucking show and then immediately said, this is not the song, but can you help us find the song that's a parody of Toby Keith's Red, White, and Blue?
01:30:41.000As in order to have a placeholder, we had All I Need and we aired that on the fucking show.
01:30:47.000But I played the video and then I said, this is what we're looking for.
01:33:25.000And people from two points on a map without even a straight line between them can be connected is at the heart of our story and knock them stiff.
01:33:35.000You ever think about how we ended up orphans living in the same house?
