My phone addiction has reached critical mass. My job in this family is to take away screens from children and get them in my lockbox. This morning I see them skulking around at 6:30 in the morning, the youngest one trying to build a wall not to keep out immigrants, but a wall of pillows that can get up to the lockbox where all the screens are locked away. And when you take it away, holy shit, do you ever realize what a drug this is? It s like it s the last hit for a junkie. You think, dude, I m not taking away your insulin, you re not going to die. You re not diabetic. You're not gonna die. I m just flipping through stuff on my phone. And then when you click too many asses, you start getting gorgeous hunks. And it's also a disturbing trip into your mind where you must be looking at one too many asses. And I'm just as bad as you are. I don t know what else to do with it but let's talk about it, shall we? I mean, let's see if we can figure it out together. I don't know what I'm doing with it, but I'm not having a good day and I'm trying to figure out how to do something with it. I think it's going to be a good one. I'm sure you'll agree with me that it's not a good thing, but it's better than not having it at all, right?

00:00:00.000My phone addiction has reached critical mass.
00:00:06.000And it's ironic because my job in this family is to take away screens from children and get them in my lockbox.
00:00:13.000Which, by the way, gets more intense every day.
00:00:16.000This morning, I see them skulking around at 6.30 in the morning, the youngest one, trying to build a wall, not to keep out immigrants, but a wall of pillows that can get up to the lockbox where all the screens are locked away.
00:00:29.000I don't know what you're gonna do when you get up there, shrimp.
00:02:54.000And then when you, when you get it, when you click too many asses, you start getting gorgeous hunks.
00:02:59.000So you got all these buff dudes on your feed, and you're like, how can I tell the algorithm to stop sending me these?
00:03:05.000I was on Netflix last night, and I was trying to find, oh, what was the movie?
00:03:11.000It was The Something, and I accidentally went The, and then I went over to Big Bang Theory, and I accidentally clicked it, and I thought, shit, no, that's gonna fuck up my whole Netflix algorithm!
00:03:25.000That was actually an episode of King of Queens where Patton Oswalt's, uh, his, uh, what do they call it?
00:07:10.000But, being a ho-chunk, you know, they own a casino, he would start gambling it, and he'd be playing baseball and say like, if I don't catch this, I'll give you half off the iPhone money.
00:07:32.000He used to do this thing where, when he was trying to quit smoking, he'd pay me $5 for every cigarette he smoked.
00:07:40.000And he's Scottish and he's cheap, so that was like stabbing someone.
00:07:44.000And I remember being a kid, maybe 10 years old, this would be 1980, and I would just go to the ashtray in the morning and go 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35.
00:09:43.000And even if they were just, even if they all wanted Budweiser's, it would be hard to get them, get them the Budweiser, get the money, give them their change.
00:10:50.000I do patents for biotech companies to make sure that Japanese, mostly Japanese because I speak fluent Japanese, make sure Japanese pharmaceutical companies don't steal their copyrights.
00:12:03.000So I've always been around fags and junkies and weirdos and trannies.
00:12:06.000I'm not, trannies are not remotely new to me.
00:12:09.000And it's always been multicultural too, which is funny when people call you racist, because you're like, I'm actually just talking about black people the way black people talk about black people, because I've been around black people for 25 years.
00:12:21.000But you come to the suburbs and you go, oh, OK, they're just normal here, and there's not a lot going on, and they're pretty boring.
00:12:31.000There's no gays or junkies, much fewer blacks.
00:12:35.000And then you start getting to know them and you go, oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
00:15:05.000And then you think, that's boring, because that's just a click of my phone, which is in my hand at all times, like I'm a 14-year-old black girl.
00:15:12.000But how could this conversation go farther?
00:15:49.000An orgy with like five people from the country club.
00:15:52.000In a way, they're kind of like white trash.
00:15:55.000Like, there's that much infidelity, there's that much drugs, there's that- there's still ODs, there's still people getting caught, like, crashing their car.
00:16:07.000So, they have- they still have a lot of boringness in them, like, middle-class stuff, but when you get the gossip up here in the burbs, it turns your hair white.
00:17:24.000So just as weird to me, though they're not drug addicts, is these blue collar guys who like work at the docks, they work on the boats or something, you know, like some rich guy's yacht, they will polish it up or something or fix the motor.
00:17:39.000And, uh, they still have that same accent, that New York accent.
00:17:43.000And I'll tell you what, man, this fuckin' Trump, holy shit.
00:17:47.000If he was here right now, I'd fuckin' t- I got a .45 revolver, it's illegal.
00:17:51.000But I'd just fuckin' shoot him in the head.
00:17:55.000Here's a quote I heard at my local bar.
00:17:57.000White haired dude, ratty jeans on, work boots, paint splattered on them.
00:18:03.000Fishing jacket, like a raincoat that's all worn out.
00:18:08.000It's like from the 80s when they didn't have any cool Gore-Tex technology.
00:18:12.000It's just like a rubber coat, a yellow rubber coat that stops the rain.
00:18:17.000Basically the same technology we had in the 1800s.
00:18:20.000And he said, tell you what, I wish, you know what we need?
00:18:27.000We need, and they're educated too, we need a fucking giant rain that comes and it just washes the Mississippi, goes out, I don't even know where the Mississippi drains, is it the Atlantic?
00:19:23.000Just fuckin', like, upper-class people wear top hats and monocles, sittin' down, fuckin' on their yachts, readin' The New Yorker, playin' golf.
00:19:41.000I bet one of them a beer that Hillary would, uh, lose.
00:19:46.000He's like, I'll tell you what, I'll fucking give you, and I'm not good with, you know, the electoral details, but it was something like nine points.
00:19:52.000Not only is she gonna win, these are all different people I'm talking about, by the way.
00:19:55.000You think I'm talking about one freak who was brainwashed?
00:20:01.000Like, if you go to White Plains, New York, there's a great record store, uh, up in the, in, uh, in the burbs up here called Clockwork Records, and it's punk stuff.
00:20:52.000And it's ex-hippies from Manhattan who lived in the Lower East Side and smoked pot and free love and Robert Crumb and Lou Reed and all that stuff.
00:20:59.000They've gotten old, and they've gotten blue-collar jobs, but they still are that person.
00:21:06.000It is a weird group because I come up here and I'm with the Richies who wear the Hillary hats and I think I'm going to take a break from the left here.
00:21:34.000Just a good... Something like... Hispanic man, maybe 21 years old, get reamed up to poop shoot, then fucking come down here and watch the game.
00:22:18.000Speaking English loudly on the street in certain areas and at certain times, especially after the referendum, is audacious.
00:22:26.000I wasn't scared to do it, but it's like being like a loud black group sort of dressed hip-hop at a very expensive golf course.
00:22:35.000Like you're aware of your surroundings, you look weird to people.
00:22:41.000By the way, those women who had the cops called on them at the golf club, they were not arrested for playing golf too slow.
00:22:48.000They were playing golf too slow, they were asked to leave, then they got crazy, and the guy eventually had to call the cops because he didn't want to get sued.
00:22:56.000You don't get arrested for going slow on the golf course.
00:23:04.000But, uh, yeah, I think I like being in weird situations.
00:23:23.000I wish I didn't know how to fight so good.
00:23:26.000Then when I'm with erudite rich people, I'm like the white trash guy with tattoos who's too violent and suggests we beat the shit out of this coach who keeps yelling at the kids.
00:23:37.000Um... When I'm with young people, I'm fucking old.
00:23:54.000And I thought I was being fun, like, I'll come.
00:23:57.000I want to be part of your life and I don't want to, you know, I want to assimilate to the people here in the suburbs.
00:24:05.000But it was more like, I don't know if you've watched Real Housewives, but the British guy with his doggy Pikachu.
00:24:12.000Now, I'm sorry for knowing about this, but in order to get laid a lot, and I have a very voracious sexual appetite because I don't watch porn, so I'm always courting my wife 24 hours a day.
00:25:03.000And I don't think that's that uncommon.
00:25:05.000I think gay guys in finance, this is just a guess by the way, I have no idea what I'm talking about.
00:25:09.000I think gay guys in finance, it's good for their portfolio, it's good for clients to see that you're a married man and you go to the country club and you play golf and someone feels safe giving you, because that's what you're doing, you're entrusting a stranger with, in this neighborhood, like 10 million dollars.
00:25:25.000So they want to make sure he's not gay.
00:25:27.000He might go spend it on dick sucking or something.
00:25:32.000So I think a lot of them reluctantly marry.
00:25:37.000And then, by the way, another thing I'm noticing is the divorce regret when they realize they don't have their kids and there's some other dad with their kids and they've got step-sons and then they start wanting custody and it just becomes a complete mess.
00:25:51.000I think our attitude with divorce is very flippant in modern society and we just go, oh, you farted?
00:27:39.000Third, I think porn is a major problem.
00:27:44.000Porn is an issue with all marriage because one of the reasons women are still single now is because when you give the milk away for free, no one wants to buy the cow.
00:27:53.000And New York City, for example, is just a fucking cattle field.
00:29:07.000I'm trying to assimilate and I know about Real Housewives of Beverly Hills because I watch it because I'm trying to get in my wife's pants.
00:29:14.000And the way you do that is you watch a show with them.
00:29:50.000And I just lay in bed with like one sock on and a blazer eating spaghetti when I could get it past my lips and just watching Real Housewives.
00:30:43.000He's like a, he's, I don't know if he's middle class, but he seems below middle class, like blue collar, not quite a soccer hooligan, but he's like a geyser who's just been neutered by this woman because he loves her so much and then falls in love with her stupid dogs out of boredom.
00:30:59.000So that show, all reality TV right now, all of Bravo, Andy Cohen is Satan, by the way, and all of Bravo is women hungry for fame because they've been sort of fucked with by society telling them that they need to be stars.
00:31:17.000They're incapable of being humble anymore.
00:31:20.000And so, they're drunk with lust to be famous, for some bizarre reason.
00:31:26.000So they get out there, look at me, and then these gay producers and assistants and line producers and directors and people working on the show, they get on their shoulders like little Rasputins.
00:33:11.000I thought I'd go into college, I'd say goodbye to the Niedermeyer frat, and I'd go right over to John Belushi, and we would start drinking and throwing beers at the other guys who want to join, and we'd build a deathmobile and crash it into the mayor.
00:34:05.000And by the way, Animal House is a fictional story that Doug Chet, the guy who played Stork, he wrote it.
00:34:13.000It's an amalgam of about 20 guys who are all the funniest, craziest guys in at National Lampoon, Harvard Lampoon, them all telling the craziest stories they ever heard about college from all their friends.
00:34:27.000So say each guy knows about 20 people.
00:34:31.000It's 400 different college experiences.
00:34:49.000So I show up there and I have on a Trump hat, but instead of Make America Great Again, it says Don't Let Me Do Shots or Coke.
00:34:59.000I have a Trump t-shirt I've worn on my show many times.
00:35:02.000It has Trump on a cell phone in the 80s, so it's a giant cell phone, and it just says 1-800-Make-America-Great-Again.
00:35:08.000And the entire shirt is a print of his face.
00:35:11.000His face is like 10 times bigger than his actual face on the shirt.
00:35:14.000And then I'm wearing jean short shorts that are ripped to shreds, because that's funny.
00:35:19.000Noah Cindergaard picture socks that have his face on them that go up to my knees.
00:35:23.000And then Chuck Taylor's low-cut whites.
00:35:29.000And then I have my son's Star Wars lunchbox full of buds.
00:35:33.000And I thought everyone would be like that.
00:35:37.000And we would party and cheat and stuff.
00:35:39.000Like when you play, when we would play sports in Canada with our friends, like soccer, we would be punching each other in the head, tackling each other, whipping the ball out of the, onto the freeway.
00:35:51.000When we went skiing, we would just ram into each other.
00:35:54.000We called it Chinese downhill from some movie.
00:35:56.000And, and, and like, you just, you'd see some guy 50 feet away and you just zero in on him and knock him so hard.
00:36:03.000His skis would be like 50 feet from where you hit him.
00:36:06.000So I thought it'd be like that, we whipping up all each other's heads, and cheating, and yelling at the ump, and throwing beer at each other, and blaring music, blaring the Kingsman's Louie Louie.
00:36:16.000And I get there, and it's 26 year olds.
00:37:45.000So I'm trying to blend in, playing with him, and I'm just like, I do not belong here.
00:37:49.000And sometimes, you know, you can make it work.
00:37:51.000Like if, I've never hung out with Hells Angels, but I've hung out with bikers, and I feel like I could, the Hells Angels wouldn't like me at first, they'd think I'm a pussy.
00:38:00.000But I feel like I could get in there in like 10 minutes, I'd do a few good gross jokes.
00:40:12.000And if you have a problem with Trump, you can go fuck yourself.
00:40:15.000I feel like a lot of marriage, too, as far as socializing, is husbands saying to their wives who are uncomfortable about going to a dinner party or going to meet new people or going to a housewarming, honey, if they hate us, they can go fuck themselves.
00:42:01.000I'll save some of these secrets, but it'll be a fun show.
00:42:05.000And tonight on Get Off My Lawn, we've got a jam-packed show with Ram Rantz, Michael J. Knowles, and a woman who wrote an amazing article about how being childless ain't all it's cracked up to be, Melanie Notkin, a fellow Montrealer who now lives in New York.
