Gavin McInnes and Ryan Henderson discuss the life and career of the late musician Mike Skinner. They discuss his early days in the music business, his early struggles with drugs and alcohol, and what it's like to grow up in the late 90s and early 2000s in New York City. They also talk about how they met and fell in love with the late singer and songwriter John Kinsman, who was in prison at the time of this episode. They also discuss the new Netflix show, Who's Got The Bag, which is out now, and why they think it's going to be a good show. And, of course, there's a mini-get-off-my-lawn segment at the end of the show where they talk about who they'd like to see as a fictional character in the new Get Off My Lawn movie.

00:01:34.000His whole thing, Mike Skinner's whole thing was always being himself.
00:01:37.000The streets, the band, was about being themselves.
00:01:41.000I'm pluralizing the band and not calling it Mike Skinner because most Americans listening probably have no idea who the fuck I'm talking about.
00:01:48.000And then he had some comebacks that sucked!
00:01:53.000Sorry, they just didn't have that same
00:01:56.000Oomph that same je ne sais quoi that same irreverence and the thing about Mike Skinner is he was always thinking outside the box with a totally fresh take like he had that song A you want to know you B B C and he did like the A B C D E F G to Z
00:02:15.000And each line in the song was a different letter and it worked out fucking perfectly and you didn't realize you're listening to the alphabet.
00:03:36.000This girl was there and these the two girls I didn't know there was wasn't that many people in my place it was my apartment on 9th Street in the East Village and there was maybe like eight people there and there's two girls I didn't know and they're just staring at him all night and then when they left they both gave him a
00:06:12.000Where we're showing you what a typical two-hour episode is like, and we've been making them two hours, although Monday was three hours, which broke the machine.
00:06:21.000So, Ryan, if you can get the sponsor's notes while I... Every show we have a book of the day, so we do the song of the day, and that was Mike Skinner's new hit, Who's Got the Bag?
00:06:32.000Not that a 50-year-old man can do coke anymore, but we do remember our kooky days.
00:06:42.000Isn't it weird when you focus these cameras and you see your beard and skin in a way you've never seen before and you realize, cameras are better than my eyes.
00:07:32.000It was a column we had in Vice, and, uh, I've been doing a book a day, so inevitably we're gonna end up with, uh, books from way the fuck back.
00:09:10.000You can't just say, I don't know, fuck it at the end.
00:09:13.000And she goes, well, that's how I feel.
00:09:14.000And I go, well, you gotta go, I don't know, go for a long walk, spend a few days thinking about what all this means, and come up with a summary at the end.
00:09:23.000Now, spoiler alert, the summary is, it's good to make mistakes.
00:09:28.000You'll figure out what's going on with life.
00:09:30.000I made her this Frenemy timeline for the book, too, that shows when she liked this person and when they hated her and when they broke up.
00:09:37.000But I'm noticing in the front here, wait a minute,
00:09:43.000David, I've always been secretly in love with you.
00:10:10.000Our newest sponsor, look, we're already fucking almost halfway through the show.
00:10:15.000And we've barely, we've only just begun.
00:10:19.000Tactical Walls, I'd like to welcome our new sponsor, Tactical Walls, to the Censored.TV family.
00:10:23.000They made this, they made this beautiful statue of Ryan and I as war movie veterans.
00:10:31.000I've always bragged that though I've never been in a war, I've seen a lot of war movies, sometimes stoned, and I believe I deserve some sort of recognition for that.
00:10:40.000And since I've started saying that, I've noticed that vets have a pattern where they say to me, thank you for my service.
00:10:47.000I don't mean they're thanking me for my service.
00:10:49.000I mean, they literally say that verbatim.
00:10:55.000Tactical Walls is veteran owned and operated and Tactical Walls is designed to store and secure firearms, but really you can hide anything in there.
00:11:03.000Guns, grandma's prescriptions, heels and sunglasses, whips and chains.
00:15:11.000And the great thing about this show is people will write in and go, dude, his fucking best friend's head was blown off in Afghanistan and he put it in an ice bucket and dragged them both back to base and it was sewn back on and he lived.
00:15:26.000That's where the ice bucket challenge came from, dick.
00:15:30.000There's a one in a thousand chance that I'm wrong, but my research shows this guy is a boring academic who hasn't really paid his dues.
00:15:40.000But he's black, and he's up there, so Biden got him on board.
00:15:45.000Unfortunately, Biden, just like we see Joe as our pet, liberals see blacks as their pet, and he has no idea who the fuck the guy is.
00:15:54.000By the way, the Secretary of Defense, that's a big job.
00:15:57.000Donald Rumsfeld did it twice, in 75 and 2001, I believe.
00:16:03.000We've had some pretty important Secretary of Defenses.
00:16:43.000That's my guy that's some sort of a dog.
00:16:49.000For all he's done to try to implement what we just talked about and for recommending... Okay, hold on, hold on, hold on.
00:16:57.000I want to thank my guy, he was a general, the secretary, whatever his name is, he runs that whole thing, and I want to thank him for all the stuff we just talked about.
00:17:11.000Is he the cutest pet president anyone's ever had?
00:17:15.000I saw this video today online, I forget where it was, but it was a pug and she'd opened the cage for her pug, the little dog cage, and it was pacing back and forth in the cage, pissed off that it couldn't leave.
00:18:04.000By the way, the thing I was going to show on this was Joe Biden's Sherman Shepard's Twitter account, where he's like, I'm pawfully sorry that I bit someone because he bit his security detail.
00:18:21.000And it's a very cute little Twitter account where he says stuff in dog talk.
00:18:26.000But I thought, wouldn't it be funny if the security detail died?
00:18:31.000He got some horrible infection from the dog bite.
00:18:34.000And the last message from the president was a tweet from his dog saying, I'm powerfully sorry that I bit you, but I was scared.
00:23:51.000They bust balls and they're like, ah, you don't look like this, you look like that.
00:23:59.000And by the way, this is why our show can't be short, because we're talking about complicated nuance here.
00:24:05.000This is a fight I had with Leslie Arfin very recently.
00:24:09.000Because she's not racist, and I am, allegedly.
00:24:13.000And I said to her, we were talking about stuff like this, like the crows, and I go, I get that that's, you know, stereotypical, but people are stereotypical.
00:24:25.000There's plenty of Scots who are teetotalers, but I went to Scotland every year as a kid, my parents are Scottish, I'm Scottish, I'm drunk right now!
00:26:46.000So, yes, it checks off all the boxes of racist, right?
00:26:52.000But we should be able to go, okay, but why?
00:26:56.000And again, the Scottish thing comes in handy.
00:26:59.000What if there was a Scottish exchange student and he had a tartan tam and a kilt on and every time you saw him in the movie there was bagpipes and he had a Mickey
00:27:15.000He had a mickey of whiskey and he was chugging it and then he would have a red nose and he'd fall over backwards.
00:33:24.000Like I've made three redskins from scratch.
00:33:28.000It's a ridiculous thing to be offended by.
00:33:31.000And I think there's a good argument that they did have redskin.
00:33:35.000The thing about Indians is, and this is a fault of ours,
00:33:41.000They had developed brown fat and Wim Hof in the book, That Which Does Not Kill Us, explains that human beings are capable of developing brown fat where we are better at withstanding the cold.
00:34:07.000The Indians lost it much later than us.
00:34:10.000So they would be able to withstand, like, say, 20 degrees with no shirt on.
00:34:15.000We would be freezing our asses off with that.
00:34:18.000And I would imagine if you are wearing no shirt in 20 degrees, even if you're warm, your skin's gonna be pretty red.
00:34:25.000There's a lot of circulation going on here.
00:34:28.000So my personal theory is that Redskins got the name because they were red because they were scantily clad in cold weather, which they could handle.
00:34:37.000Anyway, it's not a fucking insult, and it's insane that these people are all banned.
00:34:44.000All right, that's gonna be, I guess, the end of the usual segments we have.
00:34:48.000I had Antifa, I had feminism, but towards the end of every show, we go and do the mailbag, where we read letters from viewers.
00:35:59.000At the Five Power United... Should I just show the video or talk?
00:36:04.000So that is a video of a guy making fun of Chinese people, and from personal experience, using personal experience here, my Korean boss was very racist towards Japanese and Chinese.
00:36:14.000Wait, I just said, if it's boring, interject.
00:36:18.000Oh, I didn't hear what you said, and I said should I?
00:36:19.000I know, but you should just know that instinctually, we're trying to entertain people here.
00:36:26.000It seems like this is a comedy bit that's a minute, so if I would step on a punchline, then it would take away the possibility of it being funny.
00:36:38.000Um, he's being loaned a dog and he's like, take it from, you know, people trying to rape you in the booty so you can throw a pepper spray at them.
00:37:39.000Hey Arnold, Budsdrinker, and Inselvester Stallone.
00:37:43.000I remember you talking about pedos and saying that there's a difference between a 50-year-old man with a 13-year-old girl.
00:37:49.000I don't think I said that much of a gap.
00:37:53.000And an 18-year-old boy with a 15-year-old girl.
00:37:56.000Now there is literally an episode on Have a Seat with Chris Hansen like that with a nervous 18-year-old virgin boy trying to meet up with a 15-year-old girl, which we don't advocate!
00:38:08.000But it's no guy my age with a girl underage.
00:38:13.000They literally ruined the poor kid's life.
00:38:16.000And the sheriff from the department they're doing these sting operations with is interviewed by Chris Hansen and calling the poor kid sick and depraved and this and that.
00:38:25.000The fucking guy is portrayed in the first episode as a hero as he is marching with Black Lives Matter and being a complete treacherous little cuck.
00:38:42.000And the dislikes on the video just show you how the majority don't have a fucking problem with a high school senior going out with a sophomore.
00:38:47.000Now, I went to prom... I think my girlfriend in high school was 15 when I was 18.
00:39:56.000You know, no matter how many times I do this, you still... Wonder if this one... Wonder if this was a fucked up thing to do to an 18 year old.
00:40:05.000I have a hard go with somebody who's on the young side, even though legally they're an adult.
00:40:10.000So you have to hope in this case that Sean does learn a lesson.
00:40:14.000It would seem that he'd be a candidate for probation.
00:40:18.000And if he can stay out of trouble and learn something from this, go to college.
00:46:30.000And by the way, I blame the media for this, because the media has portrayed cops as vigilante fucking Boba Fetts who go and just kill people.
00:46:40.000By the way, I'm watching The Mandalorian regularly with my youngest boy, so you're going to hear a lot of Star Wars references.
00:46:48.000So in a strange way, I kind of get this guy.
00:48:49.000So I'm going to say the ending and then we're going to cut to like a whatever screen, play some of the streets and then we're going to come back and we're going to do that commercial thing and then we're going to take calls and do drawings.
