00:00:20.000 Live from New York, it's Get Off My Lawn with Kevin McGuinness.
00:00:27.000 Hey guys, how you doing?
00:00:28.000 We're here in Port St. Lucie for spring training.
00:00:32.000 We're at the Mets Stadium, Field Data Stadium, or something like that.
00:00:37.000 I just came up with this idea at the last second because my son wants to see the Mets play.
00:00:44.000 We're going to see the Pirates.
00:00:45.000 We're going to see the Houston Astros.
00:00:47.000 And we're going to see the Yankees on Wednesday.
00:00:49.000 We've got press credentials.
00:00:50.000 We'll be able to bring the camera into the stadium, talk to the people, get to know what's going on.
00:00:55.000 But here's what I got to say.
00:00:57.000 Here's what I want to know what's going on.
00:00:59.000 Why does spring training exist? 0.99
00:01:02.000 I don't understand.
00:01:03.000 Like, say you got the Justice League, right?
00:01:05.000 You got Superman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, or as my son calls him, Aquaman.
00:01:12.000 Imagine you got those guys together and then you said, hey, Aquaman, go run some laps.
00:01:17.000 Hey, Superman, go do 9 million push-ups. 0.92
00:01:21.000 Hey, Wonder Woman, go practice blocking bullets. 1.00
00:01:24.000 These guys are in the MLB.
00:01:26.000 I don't understand why they're training.
00:01:27.000 I don't even understand why we're having these games.
00:01:30.000 They don't exist.
00:01:32.000 And then people go, well, they've got to warm up.
00:01:35.000 Why?
00:01:35.000 I have to warm up.
00:01:37.000 I suck.
00:01:38.000 My son has to warm up.
00:01:39.000 He's got decades ahead of him with high school baseball and all this crap.
00:01:44.000 Once you can throw a baseball at 100 miles an hour, what are you going to practice?
00:01:50.000 What are they practicing?
00:01:51.000 They should be in a hot tub with prostitutes getting massages. 1.00
00:01:56.000 They should be loved long time.
00:01:58.000 And eating Hagandas, watching when Harry Met Sally, maybe getting some box sets, catching up, maybe watching the Sopranos again.
00:02:07.000 I mean, you don't want them to get fat, although Big Sexy, one of our greatest guys ever, Bartolo Colon, he was a big fat pig.
00:02:16.000 He did great.
00:02:16.000 Remember the 80s?
00:02:17.000 Nails? 0.97
00:02:19.000 All those guys?
00:02:20.000 They were doing Coke.
00:02:21.000 There was that dude they made a cartoon of.
00:02:24.000 He pitched a no-hitter on LSD.
00:02:27.000 We are dealing with superheroes here.
00:02:30.000 And I'm watching these guys.
00:02:31.000 This morning we came here early and they started pitching.
00:02:34.000 And they're throwing the ball back and forth.
00:02:36.000 And every time it hits the glove, it sounds like a balloon popped.
00:02:40.000 Because they're throwing them at, you know, a casual 75 miles an hour.
00:02:44.000 My whole family could be on fire, and I wouldn't be able to throw a baseball at 70 miles an hour.
00:02:50.000 I was whipping it at the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, and I was throwing them so hard, my hand was swollen.
00:02:57.000 It looked like Mickey Mouse's glove after, and that was maybe 40, 50 miles an hour.
00:03:02.000 Most guys I talk to think they can throw 70.
00:03:05.000 You cannot.
00:03:06.000 I'd be very impressed if you could break 50.
00:03:09.000 But these guys, going down to 70 is a chore.
00:03:12.000 So why are they here?
00:03:14.000 What are they doing?
00:03:15.000 Why are they playing games?
00:03:17.000 Why are we watching them?
00:03:19.000 Why are we filming it?
00:03:20.000 What are we doing here?
00:03:22.000 Where are you from, Florida?
00:03:23.000 Yes.
00:03:24.000 And you guys are just partying here.
00:03:25.000 You don't care about the Mets?
00:03:26.000 No.
00:03:26.000 How do you feel about the Mets in your town metting it up?
00:03:29.000 I'm not a fan because I'm a Red Sox fan.
00:03:31.000 Oh, really?
00:03:31.000 What do you like about the Red Sox?
00:03:33.000 That they're not the Yankees.
00:03:35.000 Well, we have that in common.
00:03:37.000 We both hate the Yankees.
00:03:38.000 Yes.
00:03:39.000 You know, someone asked me once why I hate the Yankees so much, and I go, I don't really hate the team.
00:03:43.000 It's their fans I hate.
00:03:44.000 Yes.
00:03:46.000 And someone asked me that about Trump, and I go, the reason I love him is because I love his fans.
00:03:51.000 How do you feel about Trump?
00:03:52.000 I'm not a fan.
00:03:53.000 Come on.
00:03:54.000 Let it in your soul.
00:03:55.000 Let it in your heart.
00:03:57.000 No.
00:03:57.000 Why do you hate him so much?
00:03:58.000 Because he just doesn't have any idea about anything.
00:04:01.000 He's just very arrogant and stupid.
00:04:03.000 What about Justin Trudeau up in Canada?
00:04:05.000 He has no idea what he's doing.
00:04:06.000 I don't know who that is.
00:04:07.000 Oh, good.
00:04:08.000 Okay.
00:04:08.000 So we're on the same page.
00:04:10.000 No, but seriously, folks, let's check out this game with the, what are they called again?
00:04:16.000 The Pirates?
00:04:16.000 The Tigers.
00:04:17.000 The Tigers.
00:04:18.000 The Detroit Tigers.
00:04:19.000 Let's check out that game.
00:04:20.000 Let's hope my son gets on the Jumbotron.
00:04:24.000 Let's get to know the nuances of Port St. Lucie and baseball in spring training.
00:04:31.000 And let's also, I've heard rumors that Jimmy McInnes is in town.
00:04:36.000 And I'd like to talk to him, not just about baseball, but about the way people sit on planes.
00:04:41.000 My dad taught me this trick where you put your knee up against the chair so they can't put their chair back.
00:04:46.000 And it led to an altercation on the plane.
00:04:49.000 And I'd like to talk to Jimmy McInnes about that, about what he taught me and how it led to fights on the plane and see what he thinks about it.
00:04:57.000 There's no guarantee we'll get to Jimmy, though.
00:04:59.000 But we will get to baseball.
00:05:00.000 Let's check it out.
00:05:08.000 Oh, who was that?
00:05:11.000 That was a Mets player who just hit it out of the park.
00:05:16.000 I don't know.
00:05:17.000 Is he out?
00:05:19.000 He's out.
00:05:20.000 But we're still winning.
00:05:21.000 We're in the third inning, 2-0.
00:05:23.000 We're playing the remarkably incompetent Detroit Tigers.
00:05:27.000 They have no idea what they're doing.
00:05:28.000 They hit two of our players twice.
00:05:32.000 Like two different players got hit in one of the opening, in the first inning, I believe.
00:05:38.000 Why are you looking weird, Dave?
00:05:41.000 Yeah, don't worry about it.
00:05:43.000 We've got great seats for right by the bullpen or the dugout or something like that.
00:05:49.000 Is the guy yelling right now?
00:05:51.000 We're here with all Mets fans, which is cool because I don't like other people's teams.
00:05:57.000 And one thing I don't like about 20 games in New York is you're around the other team.
00:06:02.000 There'll be someone from the other team right in the chair next to you going, yay! 1.00
00:06:06.000 Every time you lose.
00:06:07.000 I'm from Scotland.
00:06:08.000 If you're in Scotland and the If you're in Scotland and say the Celtics and the Rangers are near each other, Celtics are green, Rangers are blue.
00:06:18.000 The guy in a blue scarf goes by a Celtics bus.
00:06:22.000 He would get bottled.
00:06:23.000 He would get murdered.
00:06:24.000 They have to put them in separate parts of the stadium.
00:06:27.000 And the idea that they all hang out together, I guess it shows America's more civilized in Scotland, but I don't want to be civilized.
00:06:34.000 So this is all Mets fans everywhere.
00:06:37.000 Mets chicks are fun, by the way. 1.00
00:06:39.000 Like, you know, when people watch King of Queens and they go, how does Kevin James get a hottie like Leah Romini?
00:06:46.000 That's normal in Queens because Italians and Jews, they keep themselves nice.
00:06:51.000 They grow their hair long, they go to the beauty salon, they wear high heels, going in their 40s.
00:06:55.000 They don't give up the way a lot of, sorry, but Irish and other women do. 1.00
00:07:01.000 You know, I was in Atlantis, which is mostly Boston people.
00:07:04.000 So these are the short hair and skechers, and they're just like, I already made two kids. 1.00
00:07:08.000 Screw it.
00:07:10.000 But one interesting thing, too, I was noticing about sitting here is we're behind this huge netting, and I got these seats so my boy can catch a ball, but the netting is going to prevent that.
00:07:21.000 And I blame women, just like everything. 1.00
00:07:23.000 I'm an anti-femite.
00:07:25.000 I blame women for this. 1.00
00:07:26.000 And it's because they're on their phones, and they probably got hit in the head with a couple balls, or some single mom brought her daughter thinking, we're all the same.
00:07:34.000 And her daughter got hit.
00:07:36.000 And so we have to have all this netting here.
00:07:38.000 And I thought, isn't that ironic that women are taking away balls from young boys? 1.00
00:07:42.000 Because that's what they do in school, right?
00:07:43.000 They castrate these boys.
00:07:47.000 But you know what's funny?
00:07:48.000 We've only been down here for a day, and I've already noticed something interesting.
00:07:51.000 All of the hard laborers are geriatrics.
00:07:54.000 They're all white hairs, like the guys mowing the lawn, the guy with Sersei popcorn, the guy I bought my beer from. 0.69
00:07:59.000 Not only are they white hairs, but they're geriatrics from New York.
00:08:04.000 And my theory is, you know, California has illegal aliens, Canada has teenagers, this area has geriatrics. 0.51
00:08:11.000 My theory is, stop your giggling, they have some guy from Queens, and he's like, I got 200 grand.
00:08:17.000 I heard this, by the way, about Uncle Frank, the guy from Jimmy Kimmel's show who's dead now, why he moved to Vegas.
00:08:23.000 They're like, I got 200 grand.
00:08:25.000 I'll buy a house with 100 grand.
00:08:26.000 Then I got 100 grand.
00:08:27.000 That's not enough to live on for the rest of my life.
00:08:29.000 But it's a good little nest egg.
00:08:30.000 And I'll just have that there in Florida where it goes a long ass way.
00:08:34.000 The beers here, by the way, are seven bucks, which is half the price in here.
00:08:38.000 And then I'll just do odd jobs.
00:08:40.000 I'll Uber, I'll sell beer at the stadium, I'll mow the lawns, I'll sell some guys some popcorn, then I'll go get drunk.
00:08:46.000 You know, I can be hungover for a few days.
00:08:49.000 And they sort of coast.
00:08:50.000 So I'm seeing all these old white-haired New Yorkers coast down here. 0.99
00:08:55.000 We're supposed to be in Florida, but we're really just still in New York.
00:08:59.000 We are in Little Brooklyn here in Port St. Lucie, Florida, checking in.
00:09:05.000 Music playing.
00:09:10.000 That's my boy up there.
00:09:12.000 He's going to guess how many people are in the stadium.
00:09:18.000 He's on the Jumbotron.
00:09:33.000 A. B, 5, 380 children.
00:09:36.000 C, 5,000.
00:09:37.000 Come on, A, A, A. What?
00:09:53.000 More than yesterday?
00:09:55.000 So the goal of the thing was to guess how many people are in the studio.
00:10:00.000 My son went for the lowest one, 5,000.
00:10:03.000 This guy, this guy said there was 5,200 here yesterday, and it's less than that.
00:10:10.000 That was just bad information.
00:10:12.000 Now, the moral of the story maybe is don't cheat, but just so you know, this is the kind of guy who will ruin your life.
00:10:19.000 And my son is going to devote the rest of his life.
00:10:21.000 It's going to be like Death Wish.
00:10:23.000 He's going to devote the rest of his life to revenge on the bad info.
00:10:29.000 Unbelievable.
00:10:31.000 unbelievable Hi guys, welcome back to Metstock.
00:10:40.000 I'm here with Jimmy McInnes, the man who made me.
00:10:42.000 And we are at Duffy's, a sports bar in Port St. Lucie, where spring training is.
00:10:50.000 It's a nice bar.
00:10:51.000 I don't think it would kill them to get some TVs in here.
00:10:54.000 I don't know if you want to do sort of a pan around here, but it could do with maybe three more TVs.
00:11:01.000 I don't know.
00:11:02.000 Dad, I wanted to talk to you about my flight over here to see the Mets, where a woman put her chair back on the plane, which encroached upon my space, which I don't have a problem with if we're sleeping on an overnighter, to say Scotland, for example.
00:11:18.000 But she wasn't.
00:11:19.000 She was just doing that to read.
00:11:20.000 So I didn't catch her when she first did it, right?
00:11:24.000 It was already too late when I've discovered it.
00:11:26.000 But I slowly, over the course of 20 minutes, pushed her chair back up in an incremental way where she couldn't know.
00:11:33.000 And then I use your trick, which you taught me, where you put your knees up against the back of the chair and then pretend to be asleep.
00:11:41.000 Well, I think that's a exactly.
00:11:43.000 I mean, people are so incredibly selfish.
00:11:46.000 You know, they don't turn around to you and say, would you mind if I backed my chair up so I can rest or whatever, no?
00:11:56.000 Or maybe you look back to see if the person behind you is sleeping or if there's a kid there.
00:11:59.000 No, I said, well, people are pretty rude in general.
00:12:04.000 But not in Florida.
00:12:06.000 People in Florida.
00:12:07.000 Well, people in America in general are much more polite than most people in other nations.
00:12:15.000 I mean, Americans are incredibly polite.
00:12:18.000 Well, I noticed that about the game today.
00:12:20.000 We're playing the Tigers, and the Tigers will get a, I think they got a run or two, and everyone was clapping all these Tigers fans, and I thought, if this was Glasgow, all those Tigers fans would have had a bottle over their face.
00:12:35.000 I don't know about that, but you know, when I stay in New Smylna for the winter, and there, cars will stop in the middle of the road to let pedestrians cross the road, but there's not even a pedestrian crossing.
00:12:53.000 You know, stop and let people cross. 1.00
00:12:55.000 I've seen that in Vancouver and stuff.
00:12:57.000 It seems to be In ethnically homogenous areas.
00:13:03.000 Oh, don't get into ethnic homogenous.
00:13:06.000 Sorry, sorry.
00:13:07.000 Okay, let me get back to the chair.
00:13:09.000 No, no, no, forget about the chair.
00:13:11.000 You know, this ethnic business homogeny, and this idiot, Justin Triddle, with diversity as a strength, every time I hear that, I just want to throw up.
00:13:26.000 Diversity is not a strength.
00:13:30.000 Wait a minute.
00:13:30.000 Have you been, if you go to a big city and there are so many different restaurants, you can have Somalian food one night, you can have Mexican food the other night, you can have Brazilian food, Portuguese food.
00:13:40.000 Diversity, when you have people serving you different platters, it's wonderful.
00:13:45.000 Absolutely.
00:13:46.000 Diversity of food is wonderful.
00:13:48.000 Diversity of art is wonderful.
00:13:50.000 Diversity of dance and music is wonderful.
00:13:54.000 Not diversity of values.
00:13:57.000 You know, we don't want to have values where women are inferior to men, where you can be killed if you actually become an apostate in any religion.
00:14:14.000 We don't want those.
00:14:15.000 We don't want diverse values.
00:14:18.000 So, lovely.
00:14:20.000 Thai food is wonderful.
00:14:23.000 Maybe, I don't know, I don't eat a lot of Arab food, but I don't know what Islamic food is, but I don't want to have diverse Islamic values. 1.00
00:14:36.000 It doesn't make any sense.
00:14:39.000 And we have this idiot, Trudeau, trying to force these nonsensical Islamic values on us.
00:14:49.000 Well, isn't this just him, and obviously my father is speaking of the Prime Minister of Canada.
00:14:54.000 Isn't this him just repeating his father's agenda?
00:14:57.000 And Pierre Trudeau's agenda was, A, bilingualism from coast to coast, which must have cost trillions, and B, maximum diversity.
00:15:06.000 And I think his maximum diversity, by the way, had no real basis behind it other than I want to separate myself from America.
00:15:14.000 America doesn't look very diverse.
00:15:16.000 I'm going to be the diverse guy.
00:15:18.000 I'm the diversity guy.
00:15:19.000 Well, I don't think there's any point in trying to understand someone who's that dumb.
00:15:26.000 You know, I mean, that you can attribute whatever he's doing to God knows what.
00:15:32.000 I was talking about Pierre.
00:15:33.000 Well, actually, both of them, you know.
00:15:35.000 To me, the only difference is, you know, the son takes after his father.
00:15:39.000 His father was probably one of the best educated morons who's ever led a country.
00:15:48.000 And Justin, his son, takes after him, but Justin isn't even well educated.
00:15:55.000 We have a snowboard, was he?
00:15:58.000 A snowboard or a surfboard instructor, a part-time drama teacher, leading a country of over 30 million people?
00:16:08.000 It's a disaster.
00:16:09.000 We're similar in that sense, because Pierre Trudeau married a hot chick, and then his son suffered the IQ, and you married a hot chick, and I have about half your IQ.
00:16:20.000 So we trusted it.
00:16:22.000 And Pierre and you and I, we're a mirror image, really, genetically.
00:16:27.000 Actually not.
00:16:28.000 You may have half my IQ, but you could still be a genius.
00:16:35.000 So what I did was I slept with my knees behind her chair, but I pretended I was asleep.
00:16:40.000 And then she called the stewardess, and the stewardess said, oh, I see what's going on.
00:16:44.000 You can't put your chair back.
00:16:45.000 Well, he's asleep.
00:16:46.000 Do you want me to wake him up?
00:16:48.000 And she said, no, fine.
00:16:50.000 And then some time went by, and I woke up.
00:16:53.000 I was awake the whole time.
00:16:54.000 And her brother-in-law sitting right there, her brother-in-law, by the way, who was watching Justice League.
00:16:59.000 The guy was my age.
00:17:00.000 And he's watching Justice League alone with headphones on his phone.
00:17:05.000 And he says, he's awake now.
00:17:07.000 And then she starts to put it back.
00:17:08.000 And I say, no, you can't put it back.
00:17:10.000 And he says, the chairs go back.
00:17:12.000 And he starts showing the chair go back.
00:17:14.000 I go, you were just watching superhero movies, you moron.
00:17:19.000 And the girl behind him was a little kid.
00:17:21.000 And I go, why don't you put your chair back and ruin her time? 1.00
00:17:24.000 And the woman starts going, we're allowed to put our chairs back. 0.92
00:17:27.000 And I go, I'm not allowing you to encroach upon my space.
00:17:32.000 Well, you know, these say cheap airlines in UK, you can put your chair back.
00:17:40.000 Oh, really?
00:17:41.000 Yes.
00:17:41.000 Ryanair.
00:17:42.000 Ryanair, you can put your chair back on Ryanair.
00:17:47.000 Maybe that's our values affecting the actual chair.
00:17:50.000 Well, perhaps, perhaps, you know.
00:17:53.000 So let's get down to the nitty-gritty here with Justin's trip to India.
00:17:58.000 I think, and I have inside sources, that he was really traumatized by all these negative tweets.
00:18:04.000 They were hurting his feelings.
00:18:06.000 I know it sounds like I'm joking, but they were really hurting his feelings.
00:18:09.000 So he thought, I'll go to India and I'll look good in my dumb outfits, my Bollywood outfits, and then it'll sort of replenish not just my marriage and my life, but my sanity.
00:18:20.000 And it ended up having the reverse effect.
00:18:22.000 Well, it's become an international joke.
00:18:26.000 You know, the guy is, you know, every goddamn country, almost every network thinks the guy is a clown, and they've got it right.
00:18:38.000 He's a complete clown.
00:18:39.000 For goodness sake, when he was in India, he was more Bollywood than Bollywood.
00:18:45.000 Yes, yes.
00:18:47.000 But my take on it is naive.
00:18:50.000 I just thought it was him being a fool and thinking he could replenish his sort of, I don't know, multicultural energy force. 1.00
00:18:59.000 But it actually, you were saying earlier that it had to do with the opposition in the Canadian Parliament being Sikh.
00:19:06.000 And he thought, I'll go hang out with some Sikhs and appease my enemies. 0.99
00:19:10.000 Well, I don't think he's smart enough to do that.
00:19:14.000 My guess is that it is 2IC, who I think actually is the Prime Minister of Canada.
00:19:21.000 This nutcase he's got.
00:19:24.000 Gerard Butts.
00:19:25.000 Gerard Butts.
00:19:26.000 The guy he went to McGill with and they smoked pot all the time.
00:19:29.000 Gerard Butts Has a degree in political science.
00:19:33.000 So that's really impressive.
00:19:36.000 But what's happened now?
00:19:38.000 It's such a tobacco.
00:19:39.000 First of all, he said it was some MP from British Columbia who invited him.
00:19:48.000 When you say invited him, you're talking about a terrorist that was part of the trip that Trudeau had been photographed with before, a Sikh terrorist. 0.56
00:19:57.000 And this MP said, no, I didn't invite him.
00:20:01.000 What happened was, you know, a bunch of people sent in requests to my constituency office to visit India with Trudeau.
00:20:12.000 And I just passed them on to Trudeau's office.
00:20:15.000 So I didn't personally invite him.
00:20:17.000 He says, my constituency office is run by 20-year-olds.
00:20:21.000 You've probably never heard of this man.
00:20:23.000 This is the Indian talking. 0.70
00:20:25.000 No, this is the, yes, this is, he's not Indian.
00:20:29.000 He's a Canadian, but he's of Indian origin.
00:20:33.000 He's one who okayed Justin's guest list.
00:20:36.000 Well, he did not okay.
00:20:38.000 He just forwarded a list of requests.
00:20:41.000 He did not personally invite this man.
00:20:43.000 So he's denying he invited him after Trudeau said he invited this terrorist.
00:20:48.000 And to be clear, we're talking about a terrorist that Justin brought to India, a Sikh terrorist. 0.96
00:20:53.000 I didn't actually know this, but apparently the Sikhs are terrorizing Hindus because they want their own land, just like the Pakistani Muslims have their own country. 1.00
00:21:03.000 The Sikhs want their own country. 1.00
00:21:04.000 So I've always thought of Sikhs as good guys, pretty good assimilators, but I guess when it comes to Hindus, they're not so friendly. 1.00
00:21:11.000 Well, it was the Sikhs who sabotaged the Air India flight to Canada and killed God knows how many people. 1.00
00:21:21.000 So they are terrorists.
00:21:23.000 In fact, what there is, a group of Sikhs who want their own country, they want what they call Khalistan. 1.00
00:21:31.000 So not only has this turned out to be a complete boss, but the Indian government now, at one point, Trudeau said that he was told by a government employee, a security officer, that it was an Indian faction in the Indian government who orchestrated this.
00:21:54.000 And of course, the Indian government have violently denied it.
00:21:57.000 So it's the most bizarre thing imaginable.
00:22:02.000 You know, the best thing Justin can do is just stay home.
00:22:09.000 Hide under your bed.
00:22:11.000 You're a disaster.
00:22:14.000 You're telling me this, and I would never want to convert, but these guys are making me so nauseous, I feel like telling them, you make me seek.
00:22:27.000 So that's it, folks.
00:22:28.000 We're back at the hotel.
00:22:29.000 One of the worst hotels I've ever had.
00:22:33.000 Everything's booked.
00:22:34.000 This is a big week with the Astros and the Yankees playing the Mets.
00:22:38.000 So everything around there is booked, especially the Garden Inn where Tim Tebau is said to be staying.
00:22:45.000 So that's a write-off.
00:22:46.000 So we're actually in this super crappy little shack, two-bed room with, it's on a golf course.
00:22:55.000 I mean, I wouldn't be surprised if a golf ball goes smashing through this.
00:22:58.000 I can walk out 15 feet from this back door, and I'm on the green or the lawn, whatever they call it.
00:23:08.000 So we're here.
00:23:09.000 My old man went to go get beer.
00:23:10.000 He was pretty angry that we don't have beer here, but there's nothing to walk to.
00:23:14.000 That's the problem with Port St. Lucie.
00:23:17.000 There's no, and am I pronouncing that right?
00:23:19.000 It's not Port St. Lucie?
00:23:21.000 Port St. Lucie, there's nothing to walk around to.
00:23:25.000 There's no sort of culture.
00:23:27.000 It's just like highway industrial complex with stucco on the side.
00:23:32.000 What's it called?
00:23:33.000 It's called like Cevus or something, this sort of eggshell stucco frame with styrofoam and then, you know, plywood and other stuff.
00:23:44.000 No brick anywhere.
00:23:46.000 It's great in really dry places, but Cevas?
00:23:51.000 Anyway, it's a little bit depressing here, but the game is fun.
00:23:56.000 And it reminded me of an epiphany I had recently when I was at Atlantis.
00:24:02.000 We were there for vacation recently, as I told you.
00:24:05.000 And this is more of a podcast-based kind of thing, but I don't have the news in front of me, and I can't show you viral videos, so I don't know what's going on.
00:24:14.000 Actually, I do know one news item.
00:24:15.000 My buddy Arvind Dilawar, and I'll get to the Maoist epiphany shortly, but Arvind Dilawar is this Indian kid I used to work with.
00:24:25.000 When I first started Street Carnage, that was a site I did after I left Vice.
00:24:30.000 It was just a dumb site.
00:24:31.000 It was sort of meant to be the new Vice.
00:24:33.000 Like, not beholden to advertisers, raunchiest thing ever.
00:24:37.000 We had, you know, no holds barred.
00:24:40.000 And I couldn't call it do's and don'ts anymore, but I called it Street Boners. 1.00
00:24:44.000 And we had, you know, this kid Sam doing drugs, doing push-ups.
00:24:48.000 He did heroin push-ups.
00:24:49.000 He did push-ups when he was drunk.
00:24:51.000 He did push-ups on cocaine, all this different stuff.
00:24:54.000 Kind of regrettable now.
00:24:55.000 It really was like, it was almost like Vince Neal leaves Motley Crew and then he wants to do like a death metal band.
00:25:02.000 It was just a dumb idea.
00:25:03.000 Why am I doing that?
00:25:04.000 But Arvind was the editor, Arvind Delaware.
00:25:07.000 Interesting guys.
00:25:08.000 He's from Astoria Queens or Queens, which is all Indian now, right? 0.91
00:25:12.000 His mother's, I think, Pakistani.
00:25:14.000 dad's Indian, which doesn't sound like a big difference to most people, but that is a massive... 0.61
00:25:22.000 Muslims killed a million Hindus.
00:25:24.000 That's a big spread as far as parents go.
00:25:27.000 But, you know, he's from that area of Queens.
00:25:30.000 It's all Indian.
00:25:31.000 The guy who did the problem with Apu is from there.
00:25:33.000 And you're going to be left-wing.
00:25:36.000 Obviously, you're going to be left-wing if you're in New York, but I'm sure being Indian and in Queens, I don't know.
00:25:43.000 It's a strange predilection to have because Indians generally culturally say, what are you doing?
00:25:49.000 You've got to get married.
00:25:50.000 You have to have kids.
00:25:51.000 Why are you waiting so long?
00:25:52.000 I will need grandchildren.
00:25:53.000 So they tend to be sort of culturally conservative in many ways.
00:25:57.000 And they tend to be sort of Islamophobic in the sense that, you know, they had a massive civil war that created Pakistan, where the Muslims were sent north to Pakistan, the Hindus were sent south to India.
00:26:09.000 So you'd think they'd be more on par with the right, but they're not.
00:26:13.000 It's New York City.
00:26:14.000 I mean, everyone is on the left.
00:26:16.000 And Arvind was one of those guys, but we got along great.
00:26:19.000 Smart kid, curious kid.
00:26:22.000 Said a lot of interesting stuff, too, like a lot of revelations he gave me.
00:26:27.000 He said something that I just will never forget.
00:26:30.000 He said, you know, this whole idea of how hard it is to get a secondary education and how you've got to go to NYU.
00:26:37.000 He goes, all I did in Queens, going to public schools, was show up.
00:26:45.000 I just got C's.
00:26:46.000 I got B's, the occasional B. I'm not that smart of a guy.
00:26:50.000 But I just sort of tried and I got my 62% average, whatever.
00:26:56.000 And I ended up getting a scholarship to go to New York City College, whatever the hell is that called.
00:27:03.000 What's that called?
00:27:04.000 City College in New York?
00:27:05.000 Is that CUNY?
00:27:07.000 He got a scholarship to go to CUNY, and they actually, just like British universities did, they paid him more money.
00:27:13.000 And I remember my lawyer said, yeah, we're doing a marathon.
00:27:17.000 We're driving our bikes, bicycles, from New York City all the way up to Long Island or Westchester or something, the New York suburbs, and then back again and then down to Staten Island.
00:27:28.000 This big marathon to raise money for kids so they can go to college, so they can go to city college.
00:27:34.000 And I go, dude, it's like four grand.
00:27:37.000 And it's super easy to get into, as Arvin explained to me.
00:27:42.000 And not only did they give him a scholarship, so they paid his four grand, but they also gave him, I think, another grand.
00:27:49.000 And you go, yeah, but that's SUNY.
00:27:52.000 That's no NYU.
00:27:54.000 No, it's the same professors.
00:27:56.000 In fact, I met a professor there once.
00:27:58.000 I can't remember how we met.
00:27:59.000 We were walking down the street.
00:28:00.000 I guess I was at SUNY for some reason.
00:28:03.000 I shot a sketch there.
00:28:04.000 That was it.
00:28:06.000 We just ran in, stole the space, and shot a comedy sketch in a classroom without their permission.
00:28:14.000 And I met a professor there, and then we talked as he was walking outside.
00:28:18.000 And we walked, we were both headed in the same direction.
00:28:20.000 We ended up talking, and he goes, yeah, I teach a course at NYU called The 60s, something like that.
00:28:27.000 And then at SUNY, I teach a class called The Hippie Movement and How the Baby Boomers Changed the World. 1.00
00:28:34.000 Same exact class.
00:28:36.000 But for the SUNY kids, it was a few hundred bucks.
00:28:39.000 For the NYU kids, it was a devastating fortune.
00:28:43.000 Same education.
00:28:45.000 And then you go, wait a minute.
00:28:46.000 The reason you're sending your kids to NYU is it's a class thing, and you want them to be in a certain echelon of aristocrats so they marry in with the right DNA, the right sort of genetic disposition.
00:28:59.000 That's why you send them to NYU.
00:29:01.000 And you don't like SUNY because it's all immigrants and Indians and Polacks. 1.00
00:29:06.000 But even that crazy mentality, which I don't advocate, obviously, even that mentality doesn't make any sense because people don't get married with their college sweethearts anymore.
00:29:17.000 They don't do that.
00:29:18.000 So they're not going to marry the guy that they met at NYU.
00:29:21.000 They're going to get married maybe 10 years after that.
00:29:24.000 So now, even with the super shallow, horrible women who send their daughters there so they'll meet a rich guy, even that mentality doesn't justify NYU. 1.00
00:29:36.000 Anyway, I got that from Arvin.
00:29:39.000 And he worked hard on Street Carnage.
00:29:41.000 He was a good guy, very curious guy.
00:29:42.000 He always wanted to debate, which is obviously what anyone who disagrees with someone wants.
00:29:48.000 You know, all us evil conservatives, all we really want to do is talk to you.
00:29:52.000 And Arvin wanted to do that.
00:29:53.000 We argued constantly.
00:29:55.000 And then he moved on to some, after Street Carnage couldn't pay him anything decent, he moved on to this literary site for a while.
00:30:03.000 And then I heard he worked at The Nation.
00:30:05.000 And you just go, all right, okay, great, The Nation.
00:30:08.000 So cut to, very recently, Jovi Val.
00:30:11.000 Remember Jovi Val?
00:30:12.000 He's a guy who got bottled for wearing a MAGA hat.
00:30:16.000 We've had him on the show.
00:30:17.000 He had a plastic surgeon, a pro-Trump plastic surgeon, fixed up his nose.
00:30:21.000 So Jovi is very active.
00:30:24.000 He's an activist.
00:30:25.000 So he went to that Shakespearean thing and jumped on stage, as well as Laura Loomer.
00:30:30.000 I think Jack Pesobic did, too.
00:30:31.000 They jumped on stage at that anti-Trump Shakespearean play, Shakespeare in the Park.
00:30:36.000 Remember that?
00:30:36.000 They had Trump getting murdered.
00:30:38.000 So they jumped on stage for that.
00:30:40.000 Jovi was there.
00:30:41.000 And Jovi went to some other thing.
00:30:43.000 I think it was at Columbia.
00:30:45.000 This is long after Arvin has graduated, by the way.
00:30:48.000 And someone stole his phone.
00:30:50.000 Now, I got an email from this kid, Jonathan Levine, who works at The Rap.
00:30:55.000 I'm not a fan.
00:30:56.000 I talked about him before.
00:30:57.000 He was the guy that wrote a hit piece about me on Mike or Vox or something, and then he became right-wing.
00:31:04.000 And Ann Coulter brought him out to dinner.
00:31:06.000 And he said, I'm sorry I did that hit piece on you.
00:31:07.000 And I said, yeah, why'd you do that?
00:31:08.000 And because I couldn't really remember it.
00:31:10.000 And I go, what was it about again?
00:31:11.000 He goes, I don't know.
00:31:12.000 It's one of five pieces I wrote that day.
00:31:14.000 That's what you have to understand, too, about these liberal bloggers is they don't really have any gumption.
00:31:20.000 They don't really remember what they're writing.
00:31:22.000 It's not like it's Watergate, and they're writing about these secret tapes.
00:31:27.000 They don't care about what they're doing.
00:31:30.000 It's just working on the content chain gang.
00:31:35.000 So he's one of those guys.
00:31:36.000 And now that he's moved over to the right, I don't think he's any different.
00:31:39.000 I mean, I told you on the other episode, he talked to Steve Forbes, who was just like a saint, and he said something about Trump hitting a woman's butt with a magazine.
00:31:49.000 And he goes, it was a Forbes.
00:31:51.000 And he goes, how does he feel about your name touching a woman's ass?
00:31:53.000 And I almost beat him up.
00:31:55.000 It was at James O'Keefe's book launch.
00:31:57.000 And I just thought, you're vile.
00:31:58.000 Anyway, he contacted me recently, and he goes, what do you think of Arvin?
00:32:03.000 And I go, God, I haven't seen him in maybe 10 years, but great guy.
00:32:07.000 Awesome guy.
00:32:08.000 One of my best hires.
00:32:09.000 Hard-working dude.
00:32:10.000 Left-wing, but who cares?
00:32:12.000 He's young.
00:32:13.000 And he also, by the way, has the balls to meet a girl.
00:32:16.000 I think he proposed to her.
00:32:18.000 So he has the courage to put a ring on it.
00:32:20.000 And that's more important than any of this crap.
00:32:24.000 And then he doesn't tell me why he wants to talk to me.
00:32:27.000 So I just said the honest truth.
00:32:28.000 I appreciate Arvin.
00:32:30.000 And I think he was a good guy.
00:32:32.000 And then it comes, the article came out just now, and he had stolen Jovi Vall's phone at a rally and run away with it, which is a petty, stupid thing to do.
00:32:46.000 But he's being charged.
00:32:47.000 He's being charged with a felony, I believe.
00:32:50.000 This is the same thing that Tariq guy did, the anti-Pho academic at the University of Illinois, where these kids go, what are you doing here protesting?
00:32:59.000 Shouldn't you be with your kids or something?
00:33:01.000 And then he took that as a threat to his children, so he ran up to these Turning Point USA kids from Chicago U and grabbed their phone.
00:33:10.000 Now, that charge has gone through.
00:33:11.000 I don't think it made it to the police, but the school decided he had to do, oh no, it did make it to the police.
00:33:17.000 The authorities decided he had to do 15 hours of community service.
00:33:20.000 All right, fine, whatever.
00:33:22.000 Arvind is doing the same thing, I guess.
00:33:25.000 He ran and stole the phone, and it looks like he might not get away with something as easy as 15 hours of community service.
00:33:31.000 Now, how do I feel when I see that?
00:33:33.000 I just, I don't know.
00:33:34.000 It's just so predictable, you know?
00:33:37.000 And Arvind didn't grow up rich.
00:33:39.000 He grew up poor.
00:33:40.000 So the fact that he thinks you can just grab phones and stuff, that's rich kid behavior.
00:33:45.000 And it sounds like this awesome kid, Arvin, has got caught up with these academic, spoiled brats, and he's behaving like them.
00:33:55.000 And the problem with that is you get charged with real-life actual charges that exist here on Earth.
00:34:04.000 But that doesn't mean I forgot what I was talking about.
00:34:06.000 My original point was an epiphany I had today, and not today, sorry.
00:34:09.000 I was thinking about this today.
00:34:11.000 So we're in Atlantis in Barbados, and we're seeing this incredible, nothing like this crappy room.
00:34:18.000 Nothing like this garbage lamp with this fake stressed steel.
00:34:25.000 And the petir, what's that called?
00:34:28.000 Panir? 0.95
00:34:29.000 This fake sort of aging it has on it.
00:34:33.000 No, Atlantis is beautiful.
00:34:35.000 The resort.
00:34:36.000 I heard Trump was involved.
00:34:37.000 I think Merv Griffin bought it immediately.
00:34:39.000 But when I was there, this thing sort of washed over me.
00:34:42.000 Not the water park, but the realization that this is probably Chinese labor. 0.96
00:34:49.000 And so much of what we enjoy is Chinese labor. 0.98
00:34:54.000 And you think, why is Chinese labor so cheap?
00:34:58.000 Well, because it's from a communist country.
00:35:01.000 Yeah.
00:35:02.000 Why is it a communist country?
00:35:04.000 Because Mao, the Kami, killed 70 million of them. 1.00
00:35:10.000 70 million Chinese people he killed. 0.64
00:35:13.000 Now, how can that not have an effect on your genetics when you kill 70 million?
00:35:22.000 You know what I mean?
00:35:24.000 Generations go by?
00:35:25.000 I mean, one of the reasons Russians are so homophobic is that after World War II, so many men had died that they needed to replenish their population.
00:35:34.000 So the general mentality was, hey guys, if you're going to be gay, can you just do that sort of privately on your own time?
00:35:40.000 We need babies. 0.99
00:35:42.000 So get with a woman, and I don't want to hear any gay stuff. 1.00
00:35:45.000 If it's going to happen, make it private.
00:35:47.000 But make babies. 1.00
00:35:49.000 Now, that's just a sort of cultural implication of the 20 million that died in World War II.
00:35:53.000 70 million.
00:35:55.000 And that was Mao crushing academics, creative people, you know, entertainers, anyone who was too didactic and interesting.
00:36:06.000 That's who he exterminated.
00:36:07.000 So what do you end up with?
00:36:09.000 Couldn't you argue that China, the 1 billion Chinese, couldn't you argue that Mao's genocide biologically altered the populace to be more robotic, more conformist, less adventurous?
00:36:25.000 I mean, he exterminated Gumption.
00:36:29.000 So it's arguable that he didn't just sort of culturally make his people into robots.
00:36:36.000 He genetically made people into robots by extinguishing the creative class.
00:36:41.000 And obviously in America, the creative class and the academics, they have a stigma amongst our people because they're annoying.
00:36:47.000 I don't think they were that annoying in China.
00:36:49.000 So these people, possibly genetically, can endure more suffering than other countries.
00:36:57.000 And maybe that's why communism can now thrive.
00:37:00.000 Maybe Mao was not right, but it was an effective way to get to where he wanted to go, which was a robotic populace.
00:37:09.000 And so these people can endure suffering.
00:37:11.000 And I've been to China many times.
00:37:12.000 I lived there.
00:37:13.000 I lived in Taiwan.
00:37:14.000 And you'll notice that people will work.
00:37:17.000 Chinese New Year, I think you get like a month, two months off.
00:37:20.000 It's a big deal there.
00:37:21.000 But they will work like tailors will work one above each other in a closet.
00:37:26.000 You could honestly fit.
00:37:28.000 I'm not exaggerating.
00:37:29.000 We're in a tiny room here.
00:37:30.000 I could almost touch either end.
00:37:32.000 Even in what you see here, you could fit one, two, three, four, five, six Chinese tailors.
00:37:39.000 So in a strange way, Atlantis was taking advantage of this suffering, and it's the free market doing it.
00:37:46.000 And that's not evil.
00:37:48.000 That's natural.
00:37:49.000 That's God.
00:37:50.000 That's the way we operate as human beings.
00:37:54.000 You give us some sort of strange piece of detritus, some piece of driftwood, some sort of global piece of driftwood, which is communism and the Chinese ability to endure suffering. 0.94
00:38:04.000 And we go, I can take that horrific situation and make it into a nice sort of a wall hanging here in Atlantis.
00:38:11.000 I can make it into a cool water slide.
00:38:14.000 I can make it into a fun resort.
00:38:17.000 So we're incredible at adapting as human beings.
00:38:21.000 And even when you do something as blasphemous and evil as communism and murder 70 million people, even when you alter an entire country's DNA, we can still take that and make a beautiful water park out of it.
00:38:35.000 Isn't that amazing?
00:38:37.000 I'm not sure how that relates to the Mets and our day today and Jimmy McInnes, but it must somehow.
00:38:46.000 It must.
00:38:47.000 Anyway, thanks for tuning in.
