My babysitter wants to get into journalism and I thought, why not make a podcast about it? So I sat down with her for an hour to explain all the different routes you could take, and then I realized, well, well I don't personally have a babysitter, and I can do whatever I want. I can stay up all night if I want to, I can have candy for breakfast. My kid's babysitter's mom said that my babysitter is 49 and I'm 49, so I decided to make a show about it. It's called "The Journalism Episode" and it's about how to talk to someone who wants to become a journalist and how to get a job in journalism. Also, we talk about butterfingers and how you can be a professional butthole dancer if you don't have a job.

00:04:20.000I'm skipping rope on Monday to warm up as one does, and then I just get shot in the back with a tranquilizer dart and have to stumble to a chair, just like someone had knocked a window on me, like, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!
00:04:34.000I wasn't even doing that much exercise.
00:07:37.000We made fun of, uh... We made fun of animals, again, because they're losers.
00:07:45.000And we had Copper Cab on, losing his temper, freaking out, as is his want.
00:07:49.000Copper Cab's show, by the way, episode three just came out this week, where he's just constantly eating.
00:07:55.000And there's always like a weird dildo in the background.
00:07:57.000We're not sure what's going on with him, but we know he likes to stuff his face.
00:08:01.000That's all he lives for, which is why when he arrived here for the fight, he called me and said, uh, Hey man, no one was here to pick us up.
00:10:00.000I mean, it's obviously not U-God, it's going to be, and I don't mean you personally, God, if you're watching the show, I mean the rapper U-God.
00:10:09.000It's gotta be Ghostface Killer, Raekwon, or Old Dirty Bastard, right?
00:10:14.000That Gizza Rizza stuff is just production work.
00:10:18.000But as far as, like, albums standalone, only built for Cuban links, and then, uh, Ghostface Killer had a bunch, right?
00:13:15.000Mention Bubba and Hank's giveaway on the big show and tell audience that one value subscriber is getting a buttload of FDA meats from Bubba and Hank's, because that's a Gavin certified

00:16:44.000You may know him from how to fight a baby.
00:16:48.000He said to me in the car today, coming back from boxing, he goes, uh, he said, uh, Hey dad, I heard that video I'm in has more likes than guava juice.
00:17:00.000Cause they all have their little YouTubers, right?
00:18:04.000Oh, you got- it's always said in this sort of ostentatious way, like, oh, you have a problem with brown people?
00:18:11.000I find myself using it just to speak their language, like that Proud Boy who got away because the DA couldn't use the white power narrative.
00:18:18.000I often say, yeah, they didn't like it because he was brown.
00:19:23.000You're not even, it's not even like I, I took, I have a BA in English for some stupid reason.
00:19:28.000Um, even though I already spoke it when I went in.
00:19:32.000But they give you this syllabus of Charles Dickens and Emily Bronte and all this crap, boring soap opera shit from the turn of the century, and then a teacher tells you how to interpret it.
00:19:44.000So now you're experiencing the books less than you would on your own.
00:19:47.000They're telling you how to think, how to enjoy a piece of art.
00:19:51.000Now you're getting less out of the art.
00:19:52.000You have to go through their fucking eyeballs.
00:20:33.000Figure that out, say it's Vice, then go to Vice as an intern and just be around.
00:20:40.000Do the shittiest job you possibly... By the way, the advice I'm giving right now is for both the people I care about and the people I don't care about.
00:20:46.000I'm gonna add an extra layer when we get into people I care about, but I'm just telling you the basics now.
00:20:51.000So you go to this salon, slate, whatever the fuck it is, Huffington Post, and you're an intern there.
00:20:57.000And what you have to understand as an intern is it's an initiation.
00:21:01.000When the guy started the company, like when I started Vice, I had to carry the garbage out, right?
00:21:07.000That we didn't come with a garbage man or a maid or even an accountant.
00:21:18.000I'll never forget this black girl who was an intern for us at Vice.
00:21:23.000And I was giving her the normal shitty jobs I give everyone.
00:21:26.000And these interns, these millennials, they have this hubris where they want to start just writing a cover story and then being a photographer too.
00:21:34.000And I want to design uniforms for the revolution.
00:21:38.000So I give her shitty jobs and she quits after three days and I found a crumpled up note inside the intern desk and it said, why do they keep giving?
00:23:03.000There was one out, one crack in the pavement, and that was these make work programs.
00:23:09.000So, you would act like you had Down Syndrome or something, and you'd cross your eyes, and you'd go to the welfare place, write out the forms with your left hand, get on welfare, and then there'd be a program to get you off welfare, right?
00:23:24.000And this off-welfare thing was a magazine called Image, no, a company called Image Interculturelle, which was a big welfare hodgepodge scam system where Haitians were ripping people off, pretending they cared about diversity.
00:23:38.000Meanwhile, if you're a Haitian and you're living in Montreal at the time, you were rich enough to get out of that shithole country.
00:25:34.000That's a whole other show, but the thing about writing is you have to learn to convey a simple point, like trans athletes are ruining women's sports.
00:25:47.000You have to have that as your hypothesis, and you have to nail it quickly.
00:25:53.000In the opening paragraph, just nail it.
00:28:35.000Now, a perfect example of women being inept when it comes to writing, and I'm sorry to spend so much time on this, Jen, is find that article.
00:28:43.000Was it in Slate about the Bible that bleeds oil?
00:28:47.000This is the perfect example of women who shouldn't write.
00:28:50.000Someone who probably would have been much happier at home.
00:29:01.000Ruth Graham discovers that in the second most uneducated town in America, the least degrees, so a working class, sad, derelict town, a small town in Georgia, she discovers that some senior citizens down there are convinced a Bible bleeds oil.
00:29:22.000Well, let me get down there to debunk that myth and show these 87 year olds that they're, look at it, look at him.
00:29:28.000So she flies down, she must've been there for two weeks.
00:29:31.000She flies down there to tell these people, do tons of research.
00:29:34.000She discovers, of course, that the Bible that bleeds oil, that oil was actually coming from a tractor supply store and the guy with the magic Bible was cheating.
00:30:21.000She of course tries to extrapolate that Trump supporters and Christians in general are assholes, but that doesn't work.
00:30:31.000Anyway, sorry, that was a long tangent to say, and we're going to go behind the paywall soon, and we'll be taking calls at ten, to say that when you're sitting there as an intern, you're going to see other people working, and you're going to see them stressed out, and you'll wonder, is this really for me?
00:30:49.000And if you're a woman, I'd say the odds are 80% it's not.
00:34:15.000My whole point was flushing down the toilet.
00:34:18.000Photography is different than writing.
00:34:19.000With writing, they don't want a huge pile of words.
00:34:22.000When you give, when someone asks you for 800 and you give 3,000 or you write that fucking diatribe about the oiled, oily Bible, now someone has to sort through that and it's really, really hard
00:35:15.000And that's a much bigger question, Jen, because do you want to be the HuffPo, Daily Beast kind of a journalist like Jared Holt and Andy Campbell and Christopher Mattias and these hate watch tattletales who are tattling on someone who's not actually who they think they are?
00:35:33.000So they're basically, they write fiction for a living.
00:35:57.000They're more like people who think that other people are witches during the Salem Witch Trials.
00:36:03.000So do you want to be part of that world?
00:36:05.000It's, if you're not too serious and you don't want to do this for decades, then that's an angle.
00:36:12.000Anyway, I'm going to get into that in more detail because my first half was how to make it if you're anyone, but my second half is going to be, what do you really want?
00:36:25.000How do we give you a fulfilling career in journalism?
00:37:58.000All right, magical time here where I end the show for YouTube, and I end it with how I end every show, get fired, get in trouble, be brave, and never stop fighting.
00:38:08.000I also implore you to go to censored.tv.
00:38:12.000Oh, that'll already be in the end card thing, right?
