00:00:14.000Live from New York, it's Get Off My Lawn with Gavin McInnes.
00:00:43.000I would like to thank 90s punk for helping me grow up and get out of punk.
00:00:51.000Because, you know, I was into it as a young man in the early 80s, 84 around, 13, 83.
00:01:30.000Rockabilly was big then because everyone who was making culture was writing about their formative years.
00:01:37.000So you had the Fonz and American Graffiti and Sha Na Na.
00:01:40.000You had all this this Rockabilly stuff because these 25 year olds were, or these 30 year olds, were remembering their teens.
00:01:49.000Fucking Twisted Sister had to go to Britain because no one was interested in glam rock.
00:01:56.000You know, outside of the New York Dolls, which were not popular.
00:02:00.000So it was all about Britain, and it came from glam, really.
00:02:04.000So the Sex Pistols in the Clash, and yes, the Ramones did play there very early, before the Sex Pistols and the Clash, but that was, they were a genetic accident.
00:02:11.000They were guys from Queens, morons, basically retards.
00:02:14.000If you ever heard an interview with D.D.
00:02:15.000Ramone, they were trying to do rockabilly, and I think they were nervous and they played too fast.
00:02:19.000But the Clash already had a set list when the Ramones played there.
00:02:22.000The Sex Pistols already had a set list.
00:04:31.000So much so that when Adrian Brody was in that movie, Son of Sam, and they had the punk scene, I started to cry in the theater, because I realized I hadn't thought about punk for like 20 years.
00:04:42.000Now that I'm old, I can talk about it all the time.
00:04:44.000It's sort of like a war vet, you know?
00:04:47.000They don't wear their hat and their shirts that say, you know, the squadron or whatever, the battalion, for like 20 years.
00:04:54.000And then, when they've been a vet for 20 years, they start going to the reunions and wearing the hat that says Vietnam vet and all that stuff.
00:06:08.000So cut off, just wear a sweatshirt and jeans and shave your head, minor threat, black flag, and just scream and make it as fast as you can.
00:09:52.000Lent left, especially with Joe Strummer and all his socialist bullshit, which he had because he grew up rich.
00:10:01.000And when you travel the world as a rich person, you see the best of every culture.
00:10:04.000But, oh, is that George Flopadopoulos?
00:10:10.000Okay, so you walk into the Punk Museum in Vegas, and Fat Mike basically curated it, and he says, I want people to walk in and feel inclusive.
00:10:19.000So I have Pauly Styrene from the X-Ray Specs, who was black.
00:10:22.000Look, you wrote punk in a black flag font.
00:10:27.000Look, and he goes, I got this chick from the bags.
00:14:56.000Anyway, thank you to 90s Hardcore, to Green Day, for helping me quit punk and move on with my life.
00:15:01.000Unfortunately, I wasted a lot of time in rap.
00:15:04.000And then, in the 90s, it was all about EDM, electronic dance music.
00:15:09.000And I re-listened to, like, Carl Cox recently, and I was like, wow, we must have been fucking high on GHB and MDMA, because this music blows.
00:15:21.000In my book, I don't even include that entire time of my life, like 94 to 98, because it was just going to clubs and dancing high and making out with chicks that were your friends.
00:16:35.000Oh to you personally yeah yeah it was yeah it was I thought you meant like in the show on the show I was like I don't remember bringing that up but yeah there's this song saying that uh kings your king's crown will crumble to the earth and we're and then it says well we're all kings.
00:16:53.000It's funny listening to rap at the gym because you realize how fucking retarded it is.
00:18:10.000It reminds me of this jungle song we used to listen to back in the EDM days, and it was like, African people, it was a jungle song, going on in the background, and she's like, African people, respect your heritage, and then the music slows down and she goes, your heritage, it's detrimental that you remember it.
00:18:28.000And I'm like, did no one in the studio know that word?
00:20:27.000Kings of ourselves, first and foremost.
00:20:30.000While the people debate who's the king of this rap game, here comes Lil' Ol' Jermaine with every ounce of strength in his veins to snatch the crown from whoever y'all think has it.
00:20:40.000But rather than place it on his head as soon as he grabs it, poof, boom, pow, it's like magic.
00:20:46.000With a flash and a bang, the crown disintegrates and falls to the earth from which it came.
00:21:40.000It's like at the beginning of Fleckus Talks, where he's interviewing that Antifa guy.
00:21:44.000And he goes, well, basically because actions are more powerful than words and, but words are also powerful and they can have more power than actions, but also actions speak louder than both words and actions combined.
00:24:22.000And that, I don't care if it gets eaten.
00:24:25.000I'll spend a thousand bucks as long as it goes into mouths.
00:24:29.000And I was so happy that he was eating everyone else's steak after devouring his own, that I said, nothing I like better than seeing meat go into my boy.
00:24:36.000And then I go, oh wait, that doesn't sound very good.
00:24:41.000So that became a running joke on the vacation.
00:24:45.000Or another one, another funny moment on the vacation was we go to the souvenir shop by the, uh, by the border.
00:24:52.000By the way, that has a huge sign that says Fire, uh, Cracklers?
00:25:27.000And when we were in old Montreal, there's all these jokes shirts, like Chocolats that say, Sucum and Butt, which means I'm drunk as a boot.
00:25:35.000And a poutine hour snow globe, but it's poutine inside.
00:25:40.000And I was like, I was talking to my daughter, and I'm like, how come there's nothing funny in here?
00:25:46.000Like, Quebecois people, French Canadians, are humorous.
00:30:26.000The suit pertains to an incident that took place on October 14, 2019 on the Humonga-Cowabunga water slide.
00:30:33.000During a two-week visit to Walt Disney World by plaintiffs Emma and Edward McGuinness, must be related to me, and their family, the family visited the resort in part to celebrate Emma McGuinness' 30th birthday.
00:30:43.000The slide, which Disney builds on its website as near vertical five-story drop in the dark, descends 214 feet and plunges riders into
00:30:51.000A pool of water at the end of the ride.
00:30:53.000The suit, which was filed last week in circuit court for Orange County, Florida, alleges that Disney knew or should have known of the risk of painful quote-unquote wedgies, particularly for women.
00:31:04.000Now, I don't quite get the biology of that.
00:31:09.000Do they know what a wedgie is, these lawyers?
00:31:13.000Specifically, when a rider of the slide reached the bottom of the ride and traveled into the pool of water designed to stop further travel, the force of the water can push loose garments into a person's anatomy.
00:33:08.000When I was in 8th grade in the special class, we were on a school trip.
00:33:17.000And we were pressing hams, which is when you pull down your pants and you push it on the window.
00:33:21.000You can press a ham on the window by your seat, or you go to the back of the bus, and that's the best place to press a ham, really, because all the other cars can see you're pressed ham.
00:33:32.000James, no, Jim Gunn, Mr. Gunn freaked the fuck out.
00:33:35.000This is a Diabri Moody High and he comes back and he goes, there is no way as representatives of Diabri Moody Junior High, you are going to be out there exposing your buttocks to strangers.
00:33:48.000And one of the kids in my class goes, it's called a ham.
00:34:29.000Known, usually known only by bullies who are picking on nerds, they have now leaked into the mainstream.
00:34:34.000And people are dying in droves of this deadly form of wedgie.
00:34:39.000It was believed in the Middle Ages this was a form of torture coming from the Latin term, Wedgetius Atomicus.
00:34:46.000I told you about it at Earl of March High School where we had this game, you kick a piece of garbage in the air and whoever lets it fall first gets an atomic wedgie.
00:34:53.000An atomic wedgie, by the way, is when you rip the waistband off.
00:34:55.000And after lunch, there'd be like four waistbands lying around in the area we used to hang out in.
00:38:24.000So, I got there and I thought, I know, I'll just fight Big John for three rounds, and then I'll go home, because that's more than I can usually handle.
00:38:32.000You condense an hour workout into fucking nine minutes.
00:38:36.000He fought me the first round, and then when I wasn't looking, he switched out this pro, Huey, who just started beating the shit out of me.
00:38:46.000And I was like, as I'm getting pounded, I'm like, thanks, John!

00:40:53.000And women should, they shouldn't show their pussies and OnlyFans is disgusting and I'm against masturbation and I'm against porn, but like hot chicks like Isabella DeLuca, she should be posting sexy pictures of herself because
00:41:05.000It's advertising, and she'll get a better man if you cast a wider net.
00:41:10.000But would she take them down after she gets a man?
00:41:14.000But this is an MLB guy, a baseball player, Aubrey Huff.
00:41:18.000This catfight between Isabella DeLuca and Rachel for patriarchy is proof that most of today's women even know their sexuality is all they bring to the table, complete with a desperate need for attention, crippling debt, drama, delusional self-worth, and a complete lack of accountability.
00:41:32.000And then below that is Rachel criticizing her.
00:42:40.000Like if you're going to be a lech, a perv, okay, that's a route to take, but don't go criticizing women when you've given them all this fodder, dumbass.
00:42:51.000Well, there was another thing too with the, what's it called?
00:43:37.000And so the ultimate question is, see if you can pull up this calendar, what is the difference between porn, like OnlyFans, and what is the difference between admiring beauty?
00:43:46.000And I saw a great post about it today.
00:43:48.000They show this picture called Paradise.
00:52:12.000My daughter, when we were skiing, she had this freak accident where her ski dove into her she fell and her ski cut into her shin on her other leg.
00:55:04.000A quick question for Gava, because I know you've, uh, I just became a father of my second son, and I want to get some parenting advice on how you raise your children, because you said the first one you kind of let the system raise her.
00:55:17.000Wondering how you, I guess, implemented your ideology with the next two, right?
00:55:21.000When you're watching TV, are you just, like, shitting, like, shitting on a program saying, look at the smoke stuff?
00:55:45.000Chris Plant puts out 45 minutes a day.
00:55:47.000When you're driving them to school, make sure that's playing.
00:55:50.000That's how Lauren Southern got red-pilled.
00:55:51.000Her dad would listen to conservative radio in the car.
00:55:55.000When you're watching a movie, you don't want to ruin the movie, but make a mental note of how that's bullshit.
00:56:01.000If they ever mention anything like the smallpox blankets, go, okay, that was a theory that someone suggested and then his superior said, nah, we're not going to get into chemical warfare.
00:56:12.000When they talk about myths like they burned down Black Wall Street, you explain that that's a lie.
00:56:17.000You explain that, you know, black people didn't invent the light bulb.
00:56:21.000You got to watch it though, because if you come on too strong, they'll be like, oh, my dad's a racist.
00:56:24.000So you've got to be sober about it, but if you just say, they'll find their way and if they want to help, if they need help, they'll come to me.
