00:02:47.000 Yeah, that's right.

00:02:49.000 Don't do that.

00:02:50.000 I don't like it when people do the woos.

00:02:51.000 You're not on a ride.

00:02:52.000 This isn't Six Flags.

00:02:53.000 As soon as I did that, I regret it.

00:02:54.000 When you're at the bar and someone's like, hey, we're doing shots, and we're like, woo! 1.00

00:02:59.000 You're just an idiot. 1.00

00:02:59.000 I don't like you. 1.00

00:03:00.000 There's no velocity.

00:03:04.000 Producing with me in video studio, as always, is Jared, who is not gay. 0.98

00:03:07.000 Follow him on Twitter at notgayjared.

00:03:08.000 Me at escrowder.

00:03:09.000 Send us your comments, your thoughts, your photoshops.

00:03:13.000 Whatever else.

00:03:14.000 200 episodes.

00:03:16.000 I'm sure there's some interesting things.

00:03:17.000 I have to fill my legal obligations, dry my own conclusions.

00:03:18.000 Yeah, good enough.

00:03:18.000 Are we good, Gerald?

00:03:19.000 SG Morgan Jr.

00:03:20.000 is here.

00:03:21.000 Hey, what's the line of the day, Gerald?

00:03:22.000 We've got a little bit of Nicholas Fouillard champagne from Courtney, a.k.a.

00:03:26.000 the Dark Lord of the Northwest.

00:03:28.000 Celebratory champagne. 0.98

00:03:29.000 So I guess it probably sucks. 0.98

00:03:30.000 It does. 0.74

00:03:31.000 We have a great, I'm surprised, Courtney Scott.

00:03:34.000 It's the correct color, though.

00:03:34.000 I know that.

00:03:36.000 But we just found out yesterday that Gerald was colorblind, and we had no idea because when we send stories for the show, and we create a show map, we have color-coded, like a link is blue, we have, this is the headline from the article, and he has no idea.

00:03:51.000 What do you think when you...

00:03:53.000 Burl Ives sings Silver and Gold.

00:03:55.000 Does it just put you into an uncontrollable rage?

00:03:58.000 Silver and Gold. 1.00

00:03:59.000 You son of a bitch! 1.00

00:04:00.000 Snowman, shut up! 1.00

00:04:02.000 I can't even say it! 1.00

00:04:03.000 Great guest today.

00:04:04.000 We have Owen Benjamin.

00:04:05.000 Got a little diddly for us.

00:04:07.000 A little number.

00:04:07.000 We have Jim Norton, who I love.

00:04:09.000 One of my favorite guests.

00:04:09.000 One of my favorite comedians out there.

00:04:10.000 And of course, we have Clint Howard, who's insane.

00:04:12.000 So that's good.

00:04:13.000 A lot of fun with Clint Howard.

00:04:15.000 Clint Howard is...

00:04:16.000 He's everything.

00:04:17.000 I will say this.

00:04:18.000 Off air, he's...

00:04:20.000 Everything that you would expect him to be.

00:04:23.000 We love him.

00:04:24.000 We love him.

00:04:25.000 And we have a bunch of news to get to.

00:04:27.000 By the way, quick mention, hey, John McCain, we're sorry to hear about what's going on with Senator John McCain.

00:04:31.000 I know that's got to be rough for his family.

00:04:34.000 And, I don't know, the thoughts and prayers thing, but sorry, we hope the guy recovers.

00:04:38.000 I know it's pretty rough.

00:04:38.000 He's a badass.

00:04:39.000 Yes.

00:04:39.000 He is a badass.

00:04:40.000 So, there you go, John McCain.

00:04:42.000 Speaking of the complete opposite of a man who we respect in John McCain, Lennon Dunham.

00:04:47.000 Joins the cast of American Horror Story.

00:04:51.000 This was just announced.

00:04:52.000 Yeah, I know.

00:04:53.000 It's like the Caitlyn Jenner thing.

00:04:54.000 Now it's horrifying.

00:04:55.000 Just read the headline.

00:04:56.000 Yes.

00:04:57.000 So, you know, American Horror Story is actually, it is a great example of TV has come up so much.

00:05:03.000 The quality of it.

00:05:03.000 It's pretty disturbing.

00:05:04.000 I don't really watch it.

00:05:05.000 But the makeup has won all kinds of awards for makeup, for costume design.

00:05:09.000 And she actually posted a picture to her Instagram of her allegedly long four-hour transformation in makeup and wardrobe.

00:05:18.000 It's uncanny.

00:05:20.000 They are brilliant.

00:05:21.000 That'll get an award.

00:05:23.000 Give it to them right now!

00:05:24.000 That's like the firework at the beginning of the show that never gets off the ground.

00:05:27.000 It's true.

00:05:28.000 We tried.

00:05:28.000 She's also quoted that as saying that although I've never lived in an American horror story, I wish I had.

00:05:33.000 Oh, well, yeah.

00:05:35.000 Abortion joke. 0.99

00:05:36.000 There you go.

00:05:37.000 There's a new global plastic study.

00:05:40.000 Oh.

00:05:41.000 Enough plastic to literally bury Manhattan two times over.

00:05:46.000 Researchers with this new global study have declared that over 9.1 billion tons of plastic have been made since 1950.

00:05:53.000 Sounds like a lot.

00:05:54.000 Yes.

00:05:55.000 A lot of people are considering it a crisis.

00:05:57.000 Others see a silver lining in the ability to literally bury Manhattan two times over.

00:06:05.000 Better yet?

00:06:05.000 Bury it one and a half times?

00:06:07.000 Then work your way to Brooklyn.

00:06:10.000 All the fixies are going to be buried, and then we can move on to 16-gear bicycles.

00:06:15.000 Yes!

00:06:15.000 There we go.

00:06:16.000 So, that's correct.

00:06:18.000 9.1 billion tons of plastic made since 1950.

00:06:21.000 Wow!

00:06:22.000 That's an unbelievable amount.

00:06:23.000 Research estimate that 9% has gone toward water bottles, 2% to medical technology, and the remaining 89% into Nicki Minaj.

00:06:32.000 So that's what they're...

00:06:33.000 Obvious joke is obvious.

00:06:36.000 Ouch.

00:06:37.000 But like you were saying.

00:06:38.000 It's a lot of plastic.

00:06:38.000 Plastic going into bottling.

00:06:40.000 Yeah.

00:06:41.000 35% of the increase, I think, is in water bottles.

00:06:44.000 And places that didn't have water now, you know, have water jerks.

00:06:47.000 Yeah, I know.

00:06:48.000 It seems like that should be a good thing.

00:06:50.000 Go over to Zambia and they're like, oh, finally!

00:06:52.000 Like, nah, can you use the Nalgene? 1.00

00:06:53.000 Son of a bitch! 1.00

00:06:55.000 No, we can't use Nalgene because every time we fill up the Nalgene in the river, we get AIDS. It's full of estrogen. 1.00

00:07:02.000 Can't do that!

00:07:03.000 Can't do that!

00:07:04.000 It's not even BPA-free.

00:07:06.000 I read a consumer report.

00:07:07.000 I'll put it in my make-believe microwave.

00:07:09.000 Why do you sound Indian?

00:07:11.000 I don't know.

00:07:12.000 I can't do accents.

00:07:13.000 It's a nightmare.

00:07:14.000 You're worse than I am.

00:07:15.000 Hey, OJ Simpson is soon to be a free man.

00:07:17.000 Oh, speaking of nightmares.

00:07:19.000 This was just announced that I was trending everywhere.

00:07:21.000 I will say this.

00:07:22.000 The guy did nine years.

00:07:23.000 He was obviously doing the time for a crime unrelated to killing two people.

00:07:28.000 So as much as we don't like it, the justice system does have to...

00:07:31.000 Play itself out.

00:07:32.000 Do its thing.

00:07:33.000 And his former correction officer, he actually described O.J.'s prison life as a cruise with barbed wire.

00:07:39.000 That's how he described it.

00:07:41.000 So they obviously weren't big fans of the treatment there.

00:07:43.000 And O.J. agreed, saying that he actually loved the prison's great gym, three square meals a day, free cable, and of course, the stabbing room was one of his favorites.

00:07:51.000 He's a big fan...

00:07:53.000 Which almost seems as though a prison is encouraging poor behavior.

00:07:57.000 It almost seems that way.

00:07:58.000 You think maybe they could reform them a little better.

00:08:02.000 It seems irresponsible to put a stabbing room with O.J. Simpson.

00:08:06.000 So, John Boyega, we talked about this on yesterday's show from Mug Club members, John Boyega complained that there weren't enough black people on Game of Thrones.

00:08:14.000 Let's do Civil Rights Frontier. 0.55

00:08:15.000 Game of Thrones creators just today announced their next show, Confederate, set in a world where slavery still actually exists.

00:08:25.000 So, there you go!

00:08:27.000 You weren't represented enough?

00:08:29.000 Now you're all slaves.

00:08:31.000 You know that's not what I meant, said John Boyega on Twitter.

00:08:38.000 It's trending everywhere.

00:08:40.000 It set the internet ablaze for a multitude of different reasons.

00:08:43.000 Some people think this is great because it's an opportunity for black people in Hollywood.

00:08:46.000 Some people think, why do they always have to play slaves?

00:08:48.000 I understand.

00:08:49.000 And DeRay is actually just complaining, already claiming cultural appropriation.

00:08:53.000 Which I can actually see.

00:08:54.000 Oh, in hindsight.

00:08:56.000 It almost seems shameless.

00:08:58.000 It almost does.

00:08:59.000 It almost seems like they meant to.

00:09:00.000 Ouch.

00:09:02.000 There's no ouch there, Gerald.

00:09:03.000 All right.

00:09:04.000 I saw Planet of the Apes, by the way.

00:09:06.000 The new Planet of the Apes.

00:09:07.000 Yeah, and when I saw the vest, I couldn't stop laughing in the theater.

00:09:09.000 People were wondering why I was laughing hysterically.

00:09:12.000 DeRay.

00:09:14.000 I'm glad you're playing this joke, because when you made that transition, that was not the smoothest segue into Planet Apes.

00:09:20.000 For people who don't know, DeRay was complaining that they appropriated his blue vest.

00:09:24.000 And so now, when you're saying, they appropriated my blue vest, I'm a Black Lives Matter activist, and this is my vest, and you see it on an ape, I just, I just, I about peed myself laughing in the theater.

00:09:35.000 And it was at a moment, too, we were supposed to be really touching, you know, with the monkey, with the Winchester, and I was just like, ah!

00:09:41.000 You ruined it for everybody in the theater.

00:09:43.000 Yeah, you used to have to wait for Michael Richards to point something like that out.

00:09:46.000 It was like Robert De Niro in Cape Fear.

00:09:49.000 Ah!

00:09:51.000 It was that funny.

00:09:52.000 Okay.

00:09:52.000 So, in the news, we just talked about this yesterday.

00:09:55.000 Chris Hemsworth came out and said that it is time for a female James Bond.

00:10:00.000 That's the slogan for 2016 and 2017, it seems now.

00:10:04.000 It's time.

00:10:05.000 Why does Hillary Clinton need to be... 1.00

00:10:06.000 It's time for a female president. 1.00

00:10:08.000 Why does someone who just lops off their penis... 1.00

00:10:10.000 It's time. 1.00

00:10:11.000 Why do we need an iconic male character to...

00:10:13.000 It's time.

00:10:14.000 For a female James Bond.

00:10:16.000 So here to take that on is, Louder with Crowder, favorite and comedian, I think we have him on the line via Skype, is Owen Benjamin.

00:10:23.000 Owen!

00:10:23.000 Hello, Steven and the gang.

00:10:25.000 I wrote a song today about our little buddy, Chris Hemsworth, who said it's about time that there's a female James Bond.

00:10:34.000 Well, it's about time little Chris Hemsworth or Hemingsworth really thought through what a female James Bond would be like.

00:10:44.000 You can have a female action star, but you can't be female James Bond. 0.99

00:10:48.000 Maybe you can.

00:10:49.000 I'm so open-minded, I wrote a song about it.

00:10:51.000 It's about female James Bond. 0.99

00:10:58.000 It's beautiful.

00:10:59.000 Instead of 007, she'd be 0077 cents on dollar. 0.93

00:11:07.000 Her passport would have a Snapchat filter, and she'd always keep changing her mind about dinner. 0.93

00:11:19.000 Q would be a queenie gay guy. 0.96

00:11:28.000 Instead of making gadgets, they'd complain about their frenemies. 0.97

00:11:33.000 Okay.

00:11:37.000 She can't keep a secret.

00:11:40.000 She's got like nine blogs that fortunately nobody reads.

00:11:45.000 She's Bond, Jane Bond, but she's open to hyphenation.

00:11:57.000 She's Bond, Jane Bond, and always says she needs a vacation.

00:12:03.000 She's Bond, Jane Bond, can't drive when she's in Saudi Arabia.

00:12:10.000 She's fun, Jane Bond.

00:12:13.000 She's pretty hot, but insecure about her body. 1.00

00:12:18.000 She orders a martini shake and not stirred, but blacks out cause she forgot to eat dinner. 1.00

00:12:31.000 At 5 foot 1, 100 pounds, not strong or fast, and hates sports cause she doesn't get wide. 0.99

00:12:38.000 There has to be a winner.

00:12:41.000 Why does there have to be a winner?

00:12:44.000 She's Bond, Jane Bond But she's open to hyphenation She's Bond, Jane Bond And always in need of a vacation She's Bond, Jane Bond Can't drive when she's sent to Saudi She's Bond, James Bond And she shouldn't exist ever.

00:13:14.000 Because that's not a movie anybody wants to see.

00:13:18.000 Okay.

00:13:19.000 Thank you.

00:13:20.000 Thank you. 1.00

00:13:23.000 It's amazing how smart you have to be to create something that stupid. 0.99

00:13:28.000 He's just a brilliantly classically trained pianist. 0.99

00:13:31.000 I remember he was sitting there with, what's his name, Pete Holmes, who was insulting him for being kind of silly with his comedy.

00:13:36.000 He's like, you know, I'm a real artist.

00:13:38.000 And Owen Benjamin's like, well, hold on, this is, have you heard?

00:13:40.000 And he starts playing like a Beethoven symphony. 1.00

00:13:43.000 You tell jokes about your small penis. 1.00

00:13:45.000 So... 1.00

00:13:45.000 Thank you, Owen Benjamin. 1.00

00:13:46.000 By the way, you can watch more of his stuff on YouTube at OwenBenjaminComedy and see his tour dates, hugepianist.com.

00:13:54.000 Thank you for the enunciation.

00:13:56.000 All right, last story before we have to get to our guests.

00:13:58.000 This was posted on Facebook by some people in Essex, I think in tandem with police officers, after a massive knife turn-in program.

00:14:05.000 And they said, they tagged this, only cowards carry.

00:14:11.000 I don't know about you.

00:14:12.000 I've heard this a lot.

00:14:12.000 Have you heard this?

00:14:13.000 People are like, oh yeah, you have to conceal carriers just because you're insecure.

00:14:16.000 This is one of the delusions of the left.

00:14:18.000 This is a great example, I truly do feel, as to how delusional they are. 1.00

00:14:21.000 If you were really tough, then you wouldn't need to carry a gun or a knife, pussy. 1.00

00:14:26.000 It's so stupid. 1.00

00:14:28.000 It's so stupid because it's someone who clearly has never been in an altercation. 1.00

00:14:32.000 Yeah. 1.00

00:14:33.000 It's someone who's never been in a physical confrontation in their life.

00:14:35.000 This is why this matters. 0.99

00:14:37.000 It's the same reason where they're like, well, Charlize Theron could kick your ass because I saw her doing the stunts. 1.00

00:14:41.000 No, she couldn't. 1.00

00:14:41.000 No. 1.00

00:14:42.000 She couldn't.

00:14:42.000 You're not living in the real world.

00:14:44.000 Just like if you think someone is a coward because...

00:14:46.000 If you are the toughest, biggest, baddest dude on the block, okay, and it is an anemic AIDS victim, and you're in a fight and he either has a gun or a knife, you have no chance. 1.00

00:14:58.000 It doesn't matter how brave you are. 0.58

00:15:00.000 I am no coward.

00:15:01.000 No one can defeat me, for I am strong and fast.

00:15:05.000 By the way, we tried to hire an actual strong man.

00:15:14.000 No one would do the show.

00:15:16.000 So we just...

00:15:17.000 So glycerin will do.

00:15:19.000 I apologize.

00:15:21.000 Again, this is your only knife.

00:15:23.000 What if someone else is carrying a knife?

00:15:25.000 Yeah.

00:15:26.000 What if someone else has a gun?

00:15:27.000 Which, by the way, criminals usually do. 1.00

00:15:29.000 Oh, well, then you should just handle hand-to-hand, pussy. 1.00

00:15:33.000 I don't understand. 1.00

00:15:35.000 Most criminals are in for a fair fight.

00:15:36.000 Study after study, a lot of people don't realize, study after study has shown that even trained police officers have huge problems with knife attacks.

00:15:43.000 It's pretty much impossible to defend against a knife attack.

00:15:47.000 That's something you learn about commonly in concealed carry courses, about the 21-foot rule and how fast someone with a knife can just mess you up.

00:15:54.000 Right, and I couldn't find this study.

00:15:56.000 We didn't have enough time to do it, but there was one with a chalk knife.

00:15:58.000 And someone out there, if you could send it to me, I had a friend who was in the police force, who trained, actually, police officers, and he talked about how they took, I think, 100 police officers, had a chalk knife, and they didn't take out the knife until they were stabbing somebody, which is what usually happens in altercations.

00:16:11.000 Only 80 of them, well, only 80 of them were stabbed and dead before they realized.

00:16:16.000 Wow.

00:16:16.000 20 of them realized the knife was being pulled, and only one was able to actually do anything and get away.

00:16:20.000 So this idea of disarmed, you're going to Stevenson, it doesn't work.

00:16:24.000 No.

00:16:24.000 You're not living in reality.

00:16:26.000 And this is the issue with today's modern left.

00:16:28.000 They don't deal in reality.

00:16:28.000 And by the way, saying only cowards carry, the left doesn't understand this is unbelievably discriminatory toward women.

00:16:36.000 Absolutely.

00:16:37.000 Exactly.

00:16:37.000 Because they stand to gain the most amongst everyone in carrying.

00:16:41.000 Let's bring up those stats.

00:16:43.000 As a matter of fact, their only chance at not being raped or assaulted is carrying ideally. 1.00

00:16:46.000 Look at that.

00:16:47.000 With a gun, their percent have completed, meaning the assault completed against them.

00:16:52.000 0.9%.

00:16:52.000 With a knife, 0.0%.

00:16:54.000 Using weaponless physical force, 30%.

00:16:57.000 That's 30 times?

00:17:01.000 Statistically significant.

00:17:04.000 And that's also what I've talked about, how knife crime is actually often worse than gun crime.

00:17:09.000 Because right there you go, why was it only 0.9% with a gun, 0.0% with a knife?

00:17:14.000 I've talked about this with muggings. 0.99

00:17:15.000 Actually, people tend to get hurt more with muggings that involve a knife.

00:17:20.000 And that's because someone aims a gun at you, You're not screwing around.

00:17:23.000 Alright, fine. 0.86

00:17:24.000 They're either going to shoot you or take your stuff, so you're making up your mind.

00:17:27.000 If someone mugs you with a knife, you get into a scuffle, and someone gets cut regardless.

00:17:32.000 This is important, too.

00:17:35.000 All of this, you look at these stats, they stand the most to gain.

00:17:38.000 A 30% Increased chance of getting, well, not 30%.

00:17:42.000 300 times more likely.

00:17:44.000 No, no, 3,000 times more.

00:17:45.000 Yeah, it's.09.

00:17:46.000 Well, from 0% to 30%.

00:17:48.000 I was told there'd be no math.

00:17:49.000 I wasn't told there'd be no math, but we were just like, ah, take the three and add it.

00:17:52.000 No, no, no, it's a huge number.

00:17:55.000 Because, contrary to the virtue signaling on Facebook and the county of Essex, rapes in Essex have actually gone up significantly, over 100% in the last years.

00:18:05.000 And violent crime in England and Wales has gone up 19%.

00:18:09.000 So rape is going up.

00:18:11.000 Violent crime is going up.

00:18:12.000 And this is why this is important.

00:18:14.000 It's time for a female James Bond. 0.99

00:18:16.000 Listen, no one really cares about the fact that it's a female James Bond.

00:18:19.000 It's just this idea now that it's time. 0.89

00:18:21.000 This arbitrary, it's time, only cowards carry.

00:18:24.000 Why are you saying that?

00:18:25.000 Because weapons are bad.

00:18:27.000 Therefore, if you carry one, you're bad, you're a weapon.

00:18:30.000 That's not the reality that we live in.

00:18:33.000 So, rather than virtue signal the only cowards carry, we know statistically, if the left really wanted to help women, they wanted to fight rape culture, the best thing they could do is give women guns.

00:18:45.000 Yeah.

00:18:46.000 And training.

00:18:47.000 Yeah.

00:18:47.000 Exactly.

00:18:48.000 Seriously.

00:18:48.000 It would save a lot of lives.

00:18:50.000 It would save a lot of lives.

00:18:51.000 It would make them safer.

00:18:53.000 It would make police lives easier.

00:18:54.000 How many times do you hear police talking about it?

00:18:56.000 It's a scene.

00:18:57.000 Guys wouldn't screw around as much.

00:18:59.000 And this is kind of where we talked about this.

00:19:02.000 It's the point of stating a falsehood just because it goes along with your narrative.

00:19:05.000 Like yesterday, the story we covered.

00:19:07.000 Caitlyn Jenner stuns in this dress. 0.86

00:19:09.000 And then it was a picture of Caitlyn Jenner looking like a necklace...

00:19:13.000 Bearded lady walking out.

00:19:14.000 And you're going, hold on a second.

00:19:15.000 You wrote words, but that's not those words.

00:19:19.000 But they just say it now.

00:19:20.000 What are we like?

00:19:21.000 Let's just say some words to combat all the things we don't like and wish were not true that are true.

00:19:26.000 Yeah.

00:19:27.000 By the way, did you see the stack of those knives?

00:19:28.000 What the hell's going on in Essex?

00:19:30.000 They don't have guns, and so they use knives.

00:19:32.000 Well, that's true.

00:19:32.000 By the way, gun crime has gone up, too.

00:19:34.000 So it's not like, oh, we'll take the lesser of two evils.

00:19:38.000 Nah, you get both.

00:19:39.000 So the virtue signaling and the false reality that the left pushes, you know, it's annoying when it's Caitlyn Jenner stuns or Caitlyn Jenner's woman.

00:19:47.000 It annoys us. 0.98

00:19:48.000 It's annoying when it's Charlize Theron at five foot eight, 120 pounds can kick any guy's ass because she took some stunt coordination classes. 1.00

00:19:55.000 It's annoying. 0.97

00:19:56.000 But when it comes to creating an alternate reality and proactively lying about it to protect a narrative and it involves women being able to protect themselves, it's no longer annoying.

00:20:05.000 It's actually fatal.

00:20:06.000 And we've seen that happen in the real world. 0.78

00:20:09.000 So I would rather read some headlines that say, Criminal thwarted and stabbed or shot by a woman and left an alleyway than woman raped.

00:20:17.000 And there's a several thousand percent greater chance that the latter would be the case if the left had their way.

00:20:22.000 Hope you enjoyed Essex.

00:20:23.000 We'll be back with Jim Norton.

00:20:25.000 Colton, are you watching are you watching that ladder with Crowder again?

00:20:49.000 Is it 9 p.m.

00:20:50.000 Eastern on a weekday?

00:20:51.000 Then of course I'm watching Ladder with Crowder Josephine! 0.99

00:20:53.000 I'm a damn Mo Club member! 0.99

00:20:54.000 Why can't you get that? 0.99

00:20:57.000 If you love him so much, why don't you just pay full price?

00:21:00.000 I did pay full price at $69 annually for daily content as a student, Josephine!

00:21:07.000 You're not even a student. 0.99

00:21:09.000 Damn it, boy, I've been a student my whole damn life! 0.99

00:21:12.000 I got my GED, I studied culinary arts at Bridgetown. 1.00

00:21:17.000 You mean those cooking classes at the Y? F*** you! 1.00

00:21:20.000 I wasn't even finished! 1.00

00:21:21.000 I also am a Green Mountain Kenpo Karate, which is an arch, something you don't know s*** about, and I'm a f***ing phoenix. 0.97

00:21:31.000 You don't even go to University of Phoenix! 0.63

00:21:34.000 I signed up for the mailing list, didn't I? But then you unsubscribe!

00:21:38.000 Dammit, Josephine! 1.00

00:21:39.000 man you know i hate spam all right that was elevating because we were trying to elevate the show now after after this We're looking at our next guest on. 0.99

00:22:04.000 Funny, if we had him on the first time, we didn't know, I guess, what the crossover was with people who watched the show.

00:22:10.000 Oh my gosh, I love Jim.

00:22:12.000 Absolutely.

00:22:12.000 But I realize a lot of young people who watched the show didn't realize that Jim used to be heavier.

00:22:17.000 And we talked about that this week on the show.

00:22:18.000 show he's one of the few comedians who shed the weight for such a long amount of time an entire audience has been introduced to him they have no idea anyway horrible introduction but uh his special is mouthful of shame on netflix and of course he hosts his show with sam roberts on sirius xm is it called the jim and sam show jim norton sam roberts jim norton sam roberts because jim and sam just sounded too zoo crewish yes jim and sam ha so Jim Norton, Sam Roberts, at least sounds like adults.

00:22:46.000 Yeah, there's no toilet flushing sounds.

00:22:48.000 Colin, win the contest!

00:22:50.000 Hold a car, see how long you can hold your bladder. 0.88

00:22:52.000 We had that in Montreal, a morning show, and someone died.

00:22:56.000 Because they actually, they would put them in water and see how long they could hold their pee, and someone just was in the water and then just fell over and died.

00:23:04.000 It's called Hold Your Wii for a Wii.

00:23:07.000 I think that was in the States, though.

00:23:08.000 I want to say that was on the West Coast, like Portland or Seattle or something.

00:23:11.000 I could be wrong.

00:23:12.000 But it was a contest they were running for whatever the Wii game controller is.

00:23:16.000 Oh, that's it.

00:23:17.000 Hold Your Wii for a Wii.

00:23:18.000 Wow.

00:23:19.000 Forever because now you can't do any eating or drinking contest at all because of that one lawsuit.

00:23:24.000 Yeah.

00:23:24.000 I used to work with Pac-Man frogs.

00:23:26.000 You put them in a bath of water, they'll just poison themselves.

00:23:28.000 Really?

00:23:29.000 Yeah, no joke.

00:23:31.000 Also, they eat their friends.

00:23:33.000 Still the worst job ever.

00:23:34.000 Everyone can tweet us and say, Yeah, that is...

00:23:38.000 And what a way to go.

00:23:39.000 That has got to be unbelievably painful.

00:23:40.000 Okay, Jim, we covered this on the website this week.

00:23:43.000 I don't know how much feedback you've gotten from it, but it was one of our most popular stories of the week, probably because people just loved how quickly and succinctly you put a stop to Reebok's bullcrap.

00:23:52.000 So we'll put this up.

00:23:53.000 They put up their tweet...

00:23:55.000 Saying, in case you're wondering when it's okay to basically tell a woman she's beautiful, and pretty much the answer for those who are listening, it's no. 0.66

00:24:02.000 It's never appropriate.

00:24:04.000 And then you responded with this, which I thought was perfect.

00:24:08.000 Thank you, Reebok, for your virtuous message and when it's appropriate to come. 1.00

00:24:11.000 And it's just a re-tone with a woman's ass. 1.00

00:24:13.000 Of course, the implication is that she's beautiful. 1.00

00:24:16.000 First off, did you have that at the ready?

00:24:18.000 Were you like, please, Reebok, make this mistake?

00:24:20.000 Or did you just retrieve it from memory?

00:24:22.000 Yeah.

00:24:22.000 Whenever a company does something like that, it just annoys me.

00:24:25.000 It's like, don't moralize, you dopes, because I know that you've probably done something that's exactly the opposite of what you're trying to scold Trump for doing. 1.00

00:24:33.000 So, whatever a company moralizes, it's pretty easy to catch them being full of shit. 1.00

00:24:37.000 It's not hard. 0.99

00:24:38.000 Well, especially with Reebok, I mean, when you think about it, their entire athletic product line is designed to making women feel beautiful or to perform or to train in their clothing in order to become beautiful.

00:24:49.000 They are effectively selling the business of beauty.

00:24:53.000 At what point do you think they thought this was a good idea and did they respond to you at all?

00:24:58.000 They didn't respond to me, no.

00:25:00.000 I think that, again, it's like an echo chamber.

00:25:02.000 People live in and they hear only people talking the way they kind of feel.

00:25:06.000 So I think they were probably shocked that they got any bad blowback at all from it.

00:25:09.000 But it wasn't even about the politics or what the president said.

00:25:13.000 If they had named a few other places where it's okay to compliment somebody, I would say, okay, that's just how they feel.

00:25:19.000 They thought it was inappropriate for a public figure. 0.95

00:25:21.000 The fact that they couldn't think of any other time to do it except for one, it's like, shut up. 0.98

00:25:26.000 Stop it. 1.00

00:25:27.000 Now you put those asses for your sneakers and don't act like that's, oh, we're trying to sell the sneakers to the women so we show them how great it will make their ass. 1.00

00:25:34.000 Shut up. 1.00

00:25:35.000 We know what you're doing. 1.00

00:25:36.000 Well, even then, they're hoping that other women will say, hey, your ass looks beautiful. 1.00

00:25:39.000 How'd you do it? 0.99

00:25:40.000 These sneakers.

00:25:41.000 At some point, it comes back. 1.00

00:25:42.000 It's the circle of ass. 0.99

00:25:45.000 This is, yeah, this was, for those, I should have prefaced this. 0.99

00:25:47.000 It was after the president had made some comment about someone being beautiful.

00:25:50.000 Do you ever tell women they're beautiful? 1.00

00:25:51.000 Like, here's, I was just saying this about with you.

00:25:53.000 I don't know a good way to ever tell a woman they look good because they've lost weight. 1.00

00:25:57.000 That's one thing I'm always uncomfortable with because you're trying to compliment them, but you have to insult their previous self.

00:26:03.000 How do you handle it?

00:26:04.000 You just say, you're beautiful, or do you just mount them?

00:26:08.000 I'll usually say that you look, hey, you look great. 0.95

00:26:10.000 I don't mind telling someone they lost weight because even though it is like saying like, wow, no longer a pig.

00:26:18.000 It's still a compliment though.

00:26:20.000 And when people compliment you on losing weight, you know that you probably needed to lose it.

00:26:24.000 So you don't feel insulted.

00:26:26.000 You're like, oh, they're right.

00:26:27.000 I'm so happy I did this.

00:26:30.000 So yeah, I'll just say, hey, you look great.

00:26:32.000 And the fact that people got pissed off at Trump for that, it's like, okay, maybe it's weird for the president to say that.

00:26:37.000 But the intention wasn't to be lecherous.

00:26:39.000 He really was just trying to compliment somebody.

00:26:42.000 And if you compliment somebody in a way that is deemed clumsy or not perfect, you're still trying to compliment them.

00:26:48.000 And people shouldn't act like you were sitting there trying to dump something into their drink to get them to pass out.

00:26:53.000 Yes, exactly.

00:26:54.000 It's not exactly the Bill Cosby offense saying, hey, you look good.

00:26:57.000 And it's entirely dependent on the attractiveness of the male.

00:27:00.000 Let's be honest.

00:27:01.000 If the guy is cute...

00:27:02.000 Says, we were actually going to do a hidden camera on this, but the guy dropped out. 0.96

00:27:06.000 You know who, not Gay Jared, big fat pig of a guy, who agreed to be the foil, then dropped out. 0.96

00:27:12.000 We wanted to have a good looking guy and then an ugly guy just tell women, hey, you're beautiful, see how they react. 1.00

00:27:16.000 I can say in my personal life that, particularly as a young teenager with full of pimples, doesn't go so well.

00:27:23.000 The reaction is different.

00:27:25.000 And it also depends on the person saying it, how the people hearing it feel about that person.

00:27:31.000 Right.

00:27:32.000 If people listening like that person, then they'll see it for what it is.

00:27:36.000 Like, wow, that was kind of a nice compliment.

00:27:38.000 You know, like Obama was talking about some woman who's an attorney general or whatever she was.

00:27:43.000 And I didn't think there was anything wrong with him going, like, yeah, she's the best looking attorney general or, you know, whatever her position was.

00:27:49.000 And that was fine, but if a guy they don't like politically says it, he's a criminal.

00:27:53.000 It's arbitrary, so I don't buy it.

00:27:56.000 I was actually going to ask you next if there were times where Obama complimented a woman's looks, and I've got to imagine that's the case.

00:28:00.000 It's got to be at some point.

00:28:01.000 I don't remember the example, but Obama did do it, and again, he didn't mean anything by it.

00:28:07.000 He was just joking around and being friendly.

00:28:09.000 He wasn't trying to be a creep, so it wasn't a big deal when he did it.

00:28:11.000 You know, but people just take it when they don't like the guy and they make a big deal about it. 1.00

00:28:15.000 It's stupid. 1.00

00:28:16.000 I had a guy do that at dinner once when he was meeting my wife at some point. 1.00

00:28:19.000 It was my wife's friend's husband.

00:28:22.000 And I was like, oh, here's my beautiful bride.

00:28:23.000 You know that, whatever, my better half.

00:28:25.000 The joke is like, I'm ugly, she's attractive.

00:28:27.000 As old as time, it's an icebreaker. 0.99

00:28:29.000 And the guy was like, oh yeah, because I couldn't possibly talk about her brains.

00:28:34.000 Or something like that about her intro. 1.00

00:28:36.000 Like, he said that, and I was like, you dick. 0.99

00:28:38.000 First off, you're not only self-important and nobody likes you immediately in this social gathering, but you just, like, my wife is not happy that you said that. 0.99

00:28:47.000 Because for my wife, it is a compliment.

00:28:49.000 I feel like, oh, yeah, she looks great.

00:28:50.000 And the guy actually went out of his way to do this, and I can't...

00:28:53.000 I found it the other way, too, where the guy, you said, hey, oh, there's your better half, and it's like, well, what do you say about me?

00:28:57.000 I lost a friend over that.

00:28:59.000 Literally one of my best friends. 1.00

00:29:01.000 That guy who said that to you is a scumbag, and here's what he is. 1.00

00:29:04.000 He's a white knight. 1.00

00:29:05.000 And he's trying to white knight your wife from a compliment you're giving her.

00:29:09.000 And it's like shut – because you understand the social context.

00:29:12.000 People just say stuff like that.

00:29:13.000 Like, oh, here's my beautiful wife. 1.00

00:29:15.000 Hey, whoa, she's got brains too, buster. 1.00

00:29:17.000 We know that. 0.85

00:29:19.000 We know. 1.00

00:29:21.000 I mean, I'm not enough of a moron that I'd marry someone who I feel like is an idiot I have to go home to. 1.00

00:29:26.000 There's some guys who feel that way. 1.00

00:29:27.000 I lost a friend over that, too, on the flip side.

00:29:29.000 I won't use his name either, because hopefully it can be repaired in time.

00:29:33.000 But it was my dad who actually made the comment.

00:29:36.000 Really?

00:29:37.000 Hey, wow, she's gorgeous.

00:29:39.000 What's she doing with you? 1.00

00:29:40.000 You know, corny old dad joke.

00:29:41.000 And I got a letter written out, like an email, as to we just feel you don't respect a relationship, saying that, you know, she's out of my league.

00:29:50.000 If he wrote you a whole letter, he's clearly a trainee in hiding.

00:29:52.000 I mean, it's just, what low self-confidence must you have to be affected by it?

00:29:58.000 Why don't you meet these people at Berkeley?

00:29:59.000 No.

00:30:01.000 No, it was at Centennial Regional High School in Montreal, which is just as bad, because there we have far, far-left liberals and then far-left liberal separatists.

00:30:09.000 Like, there isn't even a backlash.

00:30:11.000 It's just they're backlashing against, well, hold on a second.

00:30:13.000 Now we have taxpayer-funded abortion at will. 1.00

00:30:16.000 What else do we campaign for?

00:30:17.000 I don't know.

00:30:18.000 Sex changes? 0.99

00:30:19.000 Let's put someone in jail for not marrying two homos? 1.00

00:30:22.000 What can we do?

00:30:23.000 We need to go further.

00:30:24.000 When things are good, it is weird when we focus on it.

00:30:27.000 When life is pretty good, And there's always things that need to be fixed, but when there are social changes, people can't fight as hard for social changes if they're happening, so then they have to start nitpicking the language.

00:30:37.000 Because special interest groups, they always need a function.

00:30:39.000 They always need to exist, otherwise they'll go away.

00:30:41.000 Right. 0.99

00:30:42.000 Yeah, it's like Owen Benjamin says, we're so bored with 2017, we've resorted to cutting off our own dicks. 0.99

00:30:46.000 Yeah, and then examining the social consequences. 0.98

00:30:50.000 Okay, speaking of which, I don't want to put you in the spot.

00:30:52.000 I did ask Jim before on air, because I know comedians never want to ever pit them against one another.

00:30:57.000 Obviously, Trevor Noah is a comedian, but we've had this conversation before.

00:31:01.000 In name only, or what are we going with here? 0.97

00:31:03.000 Stop it, not gay, Jared. 1.00

00:31:04.000 We need to let Jim have a fair shake at this. 0.76

00:31:06.000 This was him on The View, and I've talked about this, and you and I have mostly agreed, but had some slight disagreements.

00:31:11.000 And I think your generation, a little bit like you and Nick DiPaolo, have somewhat of a blind spot.

00:31:17.000 And I mean, it's in a complimentary way, because even the people with whom you disagreed with politically in your generation, you never wanted to silence each other. 0.99

00:31:24.000 It was, okay, I think that guy's a dick. 0.99

00:31:27.000 That... 1.00

00:31:28.000 Couldn't be less of the case with this new crop of comedians, 25 and under.

00:31:32.000 They are trying to close the door behind him.

00:31:34.000 And this is a clip, knock it down, make sure Jim can see this, from The View.

00:31:38.000 Trevor Noah, then I want to get your thoughts.

00:31:39.000 Things the comedians said back in the day were not even essential at all.

00:31:44.000 I mean, we got away with stuff in those days that we could never get away with.

00:31:47.000 You know what, to be honest with you, I think it's good.

00:31:49.000 Why?

00:31:50.000 I genuinely think it's good.

00:31:51.000 I won't lie as a comedian.

00:31:52.000 I look back and I go, there's things I said that I shouldn't have been saying.

00:31:55.000 Like, we're progressing.

00:31:56.000 We're moving forward.

00:31:57.000 There's things that we said about women that we shouldn't have been saying.

00:32:00.000 There's things that we were saying.

00:32:01.000 No, I think there were things that we shouldn't have been saying.

00:32:04.000 And if you look at the progress, if you look at what you're trying to do as a comedian, essentially, what I know I'm trying to do is I'm trying to move forward.

00:32:11.000 I'm trying to think progressively.

00:32:12.000 Oh, okay, okay.

00:32:13.000 I can't take any more.

00:32:14.000 Jim, your thoughts.

00:32:17.000 I don't want to taint them.

00:32:18.000 Well, as a comic, you know, if he says there's things I shouldn't have been saying, that's fine.

00:32:23.000 Like, you know, you look back, I look back on a couple things I've said, and I'm like, ugh, that was too harsh.

00:32:28.000 But when it comes to allowing people to say stuff, there can be, especially because Trevor comes to a really, an oppressive place.

00:32:34.000 Like, he understands what it's like to live in a place where I like Trevor a lot, but I have to disagree with that because my job as a comedian, like his job may be to be progressive.

00:33:01.000 Mine is not To forward a political agenda.

00:33:05.000 Mine is to be funny and to be honest.

00:33:08.000 Sometimes that does have a political agenda, but it's not, you know, I'll bash the Republicans or I'll bash the Democrats.

00:33:13.000 Like for me, my job as a comedian is to be honest and funny.

00:33:16.000 But again, he may see his job Differently, I just don't see my job as needing to be progressive or conservative.

00:33:22.000 It's just got to be funny and original.

00:33:24.000 But that is kind of crazy to me, where his baseline is just assumed, if you look at what we're supposed to do as comedians, we're supposed to be progressive.

00:33:32.000 That's the job definition.

00:33:34.000 He said it as though no one around him, around his social circle, goes, wait.

00:33:38.000 Hold on, Trevor.

00:33:38.000 What?

00:33:39.000 You might not want to go out in public with that one.

00:33:42.000 He assumes that's the baseline, not even to push a political message or to affect change, but to be progressive is my job.

00:33:50.000 That's on his resume.

00:33:51.000 That's concerning to me.

00:33:53.000 Yeah, I don't necessarily agree with that.

00:33:55.000 I mean, I don't need to be progressive. 0.89

00:33:57.000 And also part of being progressive doesn't mean taking away other people's Voices or boycotting people because they have a voice that you think sucks. 0.96

00:34:04.000 And there's a lot of people I think suck as people, but they're allowed to say whatever they want. 0.85

00:34:08.000 And I never want a comic to get in trouble. 0.85

00:34:10.000 I never want anyone to get in trouble for saying things.

00:34:13.000 I'm a big boy and if I don't like what you said, I'll just go, hey, you, I don't like what you said.

00:34:19.000 Do you make the De Niro face when you say it? 1.00

00:34:21.000 Hey, fuck you. 1.00

00:34:22.000 I don't like what you said. 1.00

00:34:24.000 I don't like it.

00:34:25.000 I don't like it.

00:34:27.000 It just seems like it's your natural set point when you use the phrase.

00:34:30.000 Have you felt it changed, though, like in recent years?

00:34:32.000 Obviously, not only have you been doing stand-up comedy, but then you were on Fox, you know, with Red Eye, and then that's not there anymore.

00:34:38.000 But then, you know, you've been doing kind of you've been at the front of XM radio and podcasting.

00:34:43.000 Have you seen the wave of the backlash kind of going away, people throwing off political correctness, whereas some people, I would say Trevor, I know you like Trevor, but I would say are trying to slam that door behind them, and they're taking part in the witch hunt.

00:34:56.000 That's what's crazy to me.

00:34:57.000 There are a lot of comedians taking part in the witch hunt now.

00:35:00.000 And they never think they are.

00:35:02.000 It's almost like people's motives are good.

00:35:04.000 They want to create a place that they think, hey, this is a safe place for people.

00:35:08.000 I think people who are politically correct, like I've tried to go, why do they think this way?

00:35:12.000 Because they're not all people.

00:35:13.000 Some of them really believe in it or a lot of them.

00:35:15.000 So what is their motive?

00:35:16.000 I think a lot of them really feel like, hey, this is the best way to do it.

00:35:20.000 And I just don't think it is because it's like no matter how unoffensive you think you're being, hey, if you're for gay marriage, you're a very politically correct person.

00:35:27.000 But that opinion just in itself offends a lot of people in the country.

00:35:31.000 So now do you not want to be able to say you're for gay marriage because that's deemed offensive by a large segment of the population?

00:35:36.000 It's a no-win game.

00:35:38.000 So you just gotta go look.

00:35:39.000 Everybody can say what they want to say.

00:35:41.000 And trust the rest of us to just know what we feel is right and wrong.

00:35:44.000 I totally forgot what your question is.

00:35:46.000 No, it's fine.

00:35:47.000 It totally worked.

00:35:48.000 It was very philosophical.

00:35:51.000 What were you going to say?

00:35:52.000 I think part of Trevor's problem is he's so out of touch.

00:35:55.000 He thinks, because he mentions his example is like, oh, to not do a fat joke is actually, in his mind, to be edgy.

00:36:00.000 That's pushing the edge to step outside the sphere of fat jokes.

00:36:03.000 He doesn't realize actually what would be edgy is to be anti-political correctness, which, you know, toss a Muslim joke in your thing.

00:36:09.000 That would be edgy.

00:36:10.000 If he wants to be really Actually, edgy.

00:36:12.000 Yeah.

00:36:12.000 His definition of what is comedically edgy just baffles me when you watch the clip.

00:36:16.000 That's one thing that I do, and I'll expand on that.

00:36:19.000 This is kind of your milieu, you know, right?

00:36:19.000 And Jim, you can...

00:36:21.000 The nasty show.

00:36:23.000 We talked about that just for laughs.

00:36:24.000 They would love it.

00:36:24.000 It's the nasty show because it's dirty stuff.

00:36:26.000 But you've always been a comic who's funny, period.

00:36:29.000 You do blue material, but it's not a crutch for you.

00:36:32.000 And I say that genuinely because I do, as someone who works pretty clean...

00:36:36.000 There are some people where you take it away, they have no act.

00:36:38.000 That's not the case with you.

00:36:39.000 But I really do think that, like what Trevor Noah is talking about, and you see this with a lot of comedians, what sometimes is blue or they create this edgy act is really carefully crafted to seem edgy and offensive.

00:36:53.000 And you go through it and you go, well, it's like nothing they said was unsafe at all.

00:36:58.000 They just used some naughty words, but nothing was really offensive as a premise.

00:37:02.000 Do you feel like you see that sometimes?

00:37:04.000 Sometimes it's disingenuous. 0.97

00:37:06.000 Yeah, like a fake maverick kind of creating dragons out of paper and then slaying them like he's some f***ing truth teller. 0.91

00:37:13.000 Yeah. 0.96

00:37:13.000 Right. 0.96

00:37:14.000 And it's nonsense.

00:37:16.000 You know, it all depends like what is considered edgy changes.

00:37:20.000 Like 50 years ago, like the Catholic Church and religion, they ruined Lenny Bruce because he made fun of the church and religion. 0.94

00:37:26.000 They killed him for it.

00:37:27.000 I mean, career-wise, they killed him.

00:37:28.000 He got arrested.

00:37:29.000 That's no longer dangerous.

00:37:30.000 You can now make fun of the church. 0.95

00:37:32.000 You can do like Certain pedophile priest jokes, it's okay. 1.00

00:37:35.000 But now Islam is a sacred cow or homosexuality or trans issues. 1.00

00:37:39.000 And in 10 years, that won't be the sacred cow. 0.99

00:37:41.000 20 years, that won't be the sacred cow.

00:37:43.000 It'll be a new thing.

00:37:44.000 We don't like people making fun of blondes who also have blonde eyebrows. 1.00

00:37:48.000 Whatever the thing is, whatever group feels like they've been oppressed and maybe even justifiably so, that would be the group.

00:37:54.000 And this whole notion of punching up and punching down, can the people f***ing stop it?

00:38:00.000 You're doing comedy, you're throwing punches.

00:38:02.000 It's circular.

00:38:02.000 There's no up and down.

00:38:04.000 It's a circular thing.

00:38:05.000 Some people are in front of you, some are behind you, some are to the side of you, and you're just trying to hit anything that you think is funny.

00:38:10.000 Well, I think it's an unholy marrying of, you know, we've talked about this.

00:38:13.000 My friend Bill Whittle has talked about this.

00:38:15.000 The left inherently supports the underdog, even if the underdog is morally reprehensible.

00:38:20.000 So it's like, okay, we have to support gays right now because gay marriage are the underdog. 1.00

00:38:23.000 Got it.

00:38:23.000 Okay, hold on.

00:38:24.000 But now we have to support Islam because Islam, so, okay, got it. 1.00

00:38:27.000 Well, now we have to support this Muslim who wants to hang gay people because it's an oppression Olympics, or we... 0.99

00:38:32.000 Well, now we have to say there need to be more black people in Game of Thrones because there's not enough. 1.00

00:38:36.000 And they inherently have to support the underdog to the point where, in comedy, that means that you can no longer make fun of whoever they see as the underdog, whoever they see as the oppressed class of the day.

00:38:46.000 And that really limits it.

00:38:48.000 And the problem that I have with it is not that someone has an opinion like that, but when they want to establish it as rules for entertainment that we've never agreed to.

00:38:57.000 Yes, and that's a good point.

00:38:58.000 It's also typically...

00:39:00.000 Well-meaning white people who do it.

00:39:02.000 Like if you're a white guy and you're talking about black people and you're saying something about black people, they don't think white people know.

00:39:08.000 They love it. 1.00

00:39:09.000 Black people aren't made of f***ing glass. 1.00

00:39:12.000 Well, they weren't unbreakable, literally. 1.00

00:39:15.000 Were they?

00:39:16.000 Yeah, that was Samuel L. Jackson.

00:39:17.000 He was Mr.

00:39:17.000 Glass.

00:39:18.000 He was the worst villain ever.

00:39:19.000 He had no superpowers. 0.94

00:39:21.000 He just broke like glass.

00:39:22.000 And I was like, oh, so he's like hyper-intelligent?

00:39:24.000 And you're like, no, no.

00:39:25.000 He's just a glass man.

00:39:26.000 Sorry, continue.

00:39:27.000 It must have some weird symbolism.

00:39:29.000 I didn't see the movie, but I'm sure I'd get it if I could.

00:39:32.000 But it's funny.

00:39:33.000 I did a trans joke about Caitlyn Jenner. 0.72

00:39:35.000 And, you know, I got, it wasn't even a nasty joke, but I got all these trans people saying, you're transphobic. 0.75

00:39:41.000 And I'm like, wow, your Google must be broken.

00:39:43.000 Yeah.

00:39:46.000 And then one trans comic said it really well.

00:39:49.000 She used that example.

00:39:50.000 She said, why are people coming to our aid?

00:39:53.000 We're not made out of glass.

00:39:54.000 We're not going to break if somebody makes a joke.

00:39:57.000 Her name is Jay McBride.

00:39:59.000 She's a comedian from upstate. 0.94

00:40:00.000 And that was a really great way to put it.

00:40:02.000 It's like people think that by making a joke that all of a sudden you're attacking and your intent is vicious.

00:40:06.000 And it's like, no, sometimes you just make an observation about somebody or a joke about the person.

00:40:10.000 It doesn't mean that you're oppressing them and shaking them and screaming, get out of America! 0.86

00:40:15.000 People have no f***ing balance, and they're annoyance.

00:40:18.000 He did the De Niro face again. 0.69

00:40:20.000 It's like when you get mad, it goes to...

00:40:21.000 But I think that's everybody.

00:40:22.000 Maybe Danilo stole it from all of humanity.

00:40:24.000 Yes, he stole it.

00:40:25.000 Yeah, he realized, I don't have to do these yo-yo diets and this method acting.

00:40:29.000 I'll just do this.

00:40:31.000 You know, we just had Owen Benjamin on.

00:40:34.000 I don't know if you've ever worked with Owen at all.

00:40:36.000 More of a Los Angeles comedian, but, you know, he was...

00:40:39.000 He's a, I mean, an amazing comedian, you know, did a lot of work with Adam Sandler, the Happy Madison crew, but was kind of seen as that sort of quintessential L.A. comic.

00:40:47.000 You know, Goofy, he's a master pianist.

00:40:51.000 Like, he's been playing classical piano for a long time.

00:40:53.000 So, but now if you watch him, he is more conservative.

00:40:56.000 We have him on the show a lot.

00:40:57.000 Now, he would not be considered edgy in the sense that he's never been a super offensive comedian.

00:41:01.000 But now...

00:41:03.000 He's experienced it.

00:41:04.000 He's experienced people walking out because he's made a Caitlyn Jenner joke or walking out because he's talking about, you know, safe spaces or college campuses.

00:41:11.000 And it's turned him.

00:41:13.000 And I wonder if a lot of people like Trevor Noah or, to some other extent, some other comedians who are left, they've never actually fought.

00:41:21.000 It's kind of like, you know, you've talked about jujitsu or MMA. Everyone has their theories.

00:41:24.000 I've got this tiger claw and I know how the world works, how combat works.

00:41:28.000 And then all of a sudden they get hit once.

00:41:29.000 Oh, I really don't know what this world is like.

00:41:32.000 I don't think until you step out and actually take that risk and talk about the things people like Trevor Noah don't want you to talk about that they can know.

00:41:39.000 And do you think maybe it's a symptom of them being so insulated?

00:41:44.000 Do you think anyone in Trevor Noah's set says, hey, hold on a second.

00:41:48.000 You're wrong about this.

00:41:49.000 Do you think that ever happens?

00:41:51.000 I'm probably not on any set.

00:41:53.000 Or to John Oliver or to John Stewart or any other one doing a set.

00:41:57.000 Usually the crew is going to nod at you.

00:41:59.000 But Trevor, again, I say he comes from a unique place.

00:42:02.000 He comes from a place of really being legitimately.

00:42:06.000 The stuff that we read about from the 50s to 40s, he did a lot of that.

00:42:10.000 So if he comes over and he has a bias, even if I don't agree with him, I defended him when he got in trouble for those Jewish jokes. 0.99

00:42:17.000 I was like, well, the guy's a comedian.

00:42:19.000 Just tweeting jokes. 1.00

00:42:21.000 Whether or not they were stupid or inappropriate, okay. 0.99

00:42:23.000 But there were people that wanted to yank his job. 0.99

00:42:25.000 And I'm like, first of all, good for Comedy Central for sticking with him. 0.98

00:42:29.000 But again, this guy comes from this place where he is seen really being treated horribly, and then he makes this joke, and a bunch of f***ing guilty white people in our country are going to go, oh, shame on you, little man. 0.99

00:42:41.000 It's just silly. 0.98

00:42:42.000 And it's like, I like Trevor, and I don't think that he should be rooting for people to get boycotted.

00:42:47.000 Because, again, what offends people now is very arbitrary, and it changes.

00:42:52.000 Well, there you go.

00:42:53.000 So we'll give Trevor Noah a pass on that.

00:42:54.000 Rich, white, liberal America.

00:42:56.000 What's your excuse?

00:42:57.000 We have to go.

00:42:58.000 Jim Norton, mouthful of shame on Netflix.

00:43:01.000 Watch it.

00:43:01.000 The Jim Norton and Sam Roberts on XM.

00:43:04.000 It's also available as a podcast, right?

00:43:06.000 Yes, and we're on Channel 103 across the board on SiriusXM every day.

00:43:10.000 On Channel 103.

00:43:11.000 Thank you so much, Jim.

00:43:12.000 We'll have you back until we have...

00:43:12.000 Oh, Clint Howard.

00:43:13.000 Is he on the line?

00:43:14.000 Oh, he's here.

00:43:15.000 Don't call it a Tumblr.

00:43:23.000 It's an actual mug and hand-etched, girthy, campfire mug.

00:43:27.000 It actually fits just as much as most tumblers.

00:43:28.000 A lot of people won't realize.

00:43:29.000 And porcelain is actually still a great insulator.

00:43:32.000 It's a great insulator.

00:43:33.000 It works really well.

00:43:34.000 It's old-fashioned.

00:43:35.000 It's old-fashioned.

00:43:36.000 But it's going to be around for a while, except that you know who you are, who we're talking to.

00:43:41.000 Loudearthcutter.com/mugclub, thank you guys so much.

00:43:43.000 You know what, to kind of give you some context, we talked about how we're being threatened with a lawsuit by a famous estate for some videos that we've done and they're not really happy about it.

00:43:52.000 We're going to fight it.

00:43:53.000 We can't discuss exactly what it is right now.

00:43:56.000 We'll have Bill Richmond on soon, but guess what?

00:43:59.000 That's what Mug Club supports.

00:44:00.000 Mug Club, not only went out and we met with YouTube and we haven't had a lot of answers, We've been playing nice, but until we get some of the issues resolved, 15, we found out, 15 out of 619 videos on our YouTube channel are in restricted mode.

00:44:13.000 Without Mug Club, we're not able to fight back because they strip you of your revenue. 0.84

00:44:16.000 Facebook, YouTube, they strip you of your revenue.

00:44:18.000 They strip you of your audience.

00:44:19.000 They make it really hard for you to subscribe.

00:44:21.000 And when you join for $99 annually, $69 if you're a student, veteran, active military, it allows us to keep a direct line of communication with you.

00:44:29.000 And no matter what these social media ghettos do, we can keep everyone here employed.

00:44:34.000 Jared, Edward.

00:44:36.000 Courtney, Casey, Aaron the Intern, Matt, Brodigan, there's so many people.

00:44:40.000 Thank you to everyone.

00:44:41.000 It's about a dozen people now who are employed because you've joined Mug Club. 0.94

00:44:43.000 They make good incomes.

00:44:44.000 They don't even need to sit on a corner fighting for 15 working for Soros because we actually pay them significantly more than that.

00:44:50.000 And, of course, when you join, you get the full daily show.

00:44:52.000 You can try it for seven days free, by the way, if you don't like it.

00:44:55.000 You get morning grinders and the rest of the CRTV lineup.

00:44:59.000 And we're putting out more free content than ever because we want to be the thorn in Facebook and YouTube's side.

00:45:06.000 We want to invite the people who threaten to sue us because we've done a video that they've declared offensive and a violation of their trademark, which it isn't.

00:45:13.000 We'll talk about that next week.

00:45:14.000 We want to invite them to court and thank them for the gift of fighting with free speech.

00:45:20.000 But we can't do it unless you join ladderwithcredit.com slash mug club.

00:45:23.000 So I leave the choice to you.

00:45:25.000 Hey there, handsome.

00:45:36.000 No, not you.

00:45:37.000 Oh, Lord, no.

00:45:39.000 I'm talking about that snazzy t-shirt.

00:45:42.000 Looks like someone's been dropping some coin at louderwithcrowdershop.com.

00:46:06.000 Don't make me come down there.

00:46:09.000 Well, now your t-shirt just says socialism, which is far more embarrassing.

00:46:44.000 Alright, glad to have our next guest because you never know what will happen when...

00:47:04.000 One of the most...

00:47:05.000 Oh, look, there we go.

00:47:06.000 Look, he got his mug club.

00:47:08.000 Look at that.

00:47:10.000 Hopefully it enhances...

00:47:11.000 It was C-O-D. I don't know.

00:47:13.000 I don't quite get it.

00:47:15.000 Okay, so before you came on...

00:47:17.000 Clint Howard, by the way, people who don't know.

00:47:19.000 Clint Howard.

00:47:21.000 Legendary film actor.

00:47:22.000 And you look like you're about to go into a boxing ring.

00:47:25.000 We were just talking about this during the break.

00:47:26.000 What is this?

00:47:28.000 You show up... 0.98

00:47:29.000 Like a pimp. 0.92

00:47:30.000 This is sort of special. 1.00

00:47:31.000 Actually, I'm scurrying around today, and if I told you, I'd have to kill you.

00:47:36.000 But I'm scurrying around today, and I'm trying to mix in a sauna. 0.78

00:47:41.000 Oh, you're doing a plug for yourself, too.

00:47:43.000 I like it.

00:47:44.000 I just actually drink from the mug because it's just so girthy and hand-etched, but continue.

00:47:48.000 So anyway, I'm going to go to the sauna.

00:47:51.000 And on special occasions, I break out this wonderful swag gift that Jim Carrey got all the cast and crew members for being in The Grinch.

00:48:01.000 Back in the heyday of the big movies, I got some great swag.

00:48:05.000 Russell Crowe dug deep and got a really nice, like, leather jacket.

00:48:10.000 And this is Jim Carrey.

00:48:11.000 His sense of humor, he got us all a robe.

00:48:15.000 I don't know.

00:48:15.000 I don't know whether you can see this or not.

00:48:17.000 Oh, I can see that.

00:48:20.000 Is that terrycloth or is it a fleece?

00:48:23.000 Yeah, no, no.

00:48:24.000 It's the real deal.

00:48:25.000 It's really nice.

00:48:26.000 This is before they quit giving people huge amounts of money to be in movies.

00:48:31.000 Well, hold on.

00:48:31.000 We still hear about these crazy salaries, so it seems like there's still some money, but you're just overall less...

00:48:38.000 What's happening is there are very few people that can command the top-tier paycheck.

00:48:44.000 And for a while, there was a dozen.

00:48:48.000 There was probably more.

00:48:50.000 And now you really have to prove to the studios that you are the...

00:48:55.000 bomb right there.

00:48:56.000 Yeah. 0.53

00:48:56.000 And they'll pay you. 0.53

00:48:57.000 Yeah.

00:48:58.000 But other than that, they quit sending their airplanes for people pretty quickly.

00:49:02.000 Well, you know, it's funny you bring that because for years, actually, for years, Vince Vaughn was dollar per dollar, the best investment in Hollywood.

00:49:09.000 And, you know, he came out of the closet as much more conservative.

00:49:12.000 He's been very open about it.

00:49:14.000 And after that, he could not get a good review for any film.

00:49:17.000 Now, I know he's done some bad films, but there are some films that he's done that were pretty good that were getting zero, you know, on Rotten Tomatoes or 15 percent.

00:49:25.000 And I know.

00:49:26.000 Yeah, it's sad.

00:49:28.000 I know, Vince, because I worked with him on The Dilemma.

00:49:32.000 That's right.

00:49:34.000 Yeah.

00:49:34.000 And he is he he.

00:49:35.000 He told me some stuff.

00:49:36.000 I mean, you know, really good like advice and ideas about surviving in the business.

00:49:41.000 I have a feeling he knew what was coming as far as getting picked on by, you know, the liberal media.

00:49:47.000 Yeah.

00:49:48.000 And listen, I thought first of all, I thought Vince was great.

00:49:51.000 I thought Vince was was really creative and we had a great time working together.

00:49:58.000 I don't know, you know, some of that you bring on yourself as far as the bad press or at least negative vibes from the press.

00:50:07.000 And, you know, thank goodness.

00:50:09.000 Hey, Vince made his dough.

00:50:11.000 You know, there are people that will complain about, oh, my career's in a downturn.

00:50:15.000 Yeah, but you've made $80 million.

00:50:17.000 Yeah, yeah, exactly.

00:50:19.000 He's off in his own.

00:50:19.000 He has this compound, I think, in Montana or something.

00:50:23.000 And Owen Benjamin, who was just in the show, produced with him a TV series and said the same thing.

00:50:27.000 He just is not interested in the, I guess, sort of the pageantry of it anymore.

00:50:34.000 Yeah.

00:50:34.000 Listen, if you don't really have to play the game, you have a choice.

00:50:39.000 I mean, this still is America, isn't it?

00:50:41.000 I mean, you know, we have a constitutional right to pursue happiness.

00:50:45.000 Hey, I was going to ask you.

00:50:47.000 I was going to ask you.

00:50:48.000 It's just recent news.

00:50:49.000 Obviously, your brother directing the Han Solo spinoff.

00:50:52.000 Can we expect Clint Howard in the Star Wars universe in any capacity?

00:50:57.000 You know, the only thing you could expect is a huge lawsuit if I said anything about it.

00:51:04.000 Come on! 0.61

00:51:04.000 This is also news. 0.61

00:51:06.000 We're trying to get a scoop here, Clint.

00:51:07.000 You show up with all your chest hairs to distract us.

00:51:10.000 You can scoop till you empty my cat box.

00:51:15.000 How many cats do you have?

00:51:16.000 I'd imagine a few.

00:51:18.000 Probably 12 pages is what I've heard.

00:51:22.000 I'll do it with President Trump. 0.99

00:51:24.000 Somebody told me that I said the most ridiculous thing. 0.91

00:51:28.000 So he's giving himself not just deniability, but he's admitting he's talking third-hand about himself.

00:51:35.000 But I've heard that people have told me if I was to get a job, It would probably come with about a 12-page writer in terms of security and their right at, you know, approval of anything outside of indigestion error.

00:51:56.000 Well, I hope to see you in there, obviously, because you've been in so many iconic roles.

00:52:01.000 It would be awesome to see you be in one of the most iconic film franchises.

00:52:05.000 I'll tell you what.

00:52:06.000 I'll tell you something.

00:52:07.000 I auditioned for the original Star Wars.

00:52:10.000 As who?

00:52:11.000 As who?

00:52:12.000 Well, you know, I probably Luke Skywalker.

00:52:15.000 I remember seeing Mark Hamill.

00:52:17.000 How do you not remember who you read for?

00:52:20.000 Well, you've got to remember, in those days, the initial auditions were they were seeing everybody, and it didn't really matter what you read.

00:52:31.000 It wasn't like today's world, when you go in for an audition, they have you read every line of dialogue in the sitcom.

00:52:37.000 That you're saying.

00:52:38.000 Yeah.

00:52:39.000 It's like, how can you prepare that in two days?

00:52:41.000 But so they gave me something to do, a little something to do.

00:52:44.000 I couldn't tell what it was.

00:52:45.000 There was Francis Coppola in the room.

00:52:47.000 There was a fellow named Gino Havens in the room.

00:52:50.000 And I was about 18 years old.

00:52:52.000 I was scared as all get out.

00:52:53.000 And I saw Mark was nervously pacing, learning, looking at the lines.

00:52:58.000 And George was in his director's chair, not a director's chair, he was in a big leather chair behind, and he was spun around, and he turned around to face me, and he went, Commander Bailock, Corbinite maneuver.

00:53:10.000 And the last thing I wanted to hear was some childhood reference.

00:53:15.000 No offense to George, but in my mind, I'm just going, ha!

00:53:18.000 Ha! 0.89

00:53:20.000 I hate George Lucas!

00:53:22.000 George, get a life, please.

00:53:24.000 You know, I got Francis Coppola sitting over here getting ready to watch me present myself.

00:53:29.000 And George is asking me about Commander Balot Corbinite Maneuver from Star Trek.

00:53:35.000 Well then, you know, I won't ask you my next...

00:53:36.000 I've come to find out that Star Trek geeks have a tremendous earning capability and they've earned well.

00:53:43.000 Well...

00:53:43.000 Because I've gone to a couple of Star Trek conventions and boy...

00:53:47.000 Just bang up, bang up business.

00:53:50.000 I don't know if you'll be mad for me to ask this next question.

00:53:52.000 My dad wanted me to ask you because we've done sketches with Hopper, my doggo here, and the rules don't work with children and animals.

00:53:59.000 So obviously working with a bear.

00:54:02.000 Do you have any stories?

00:54:03.000 Did anything happen with the bear where maybe someone got mauled or something went wrong?

00:54:07.000 Because with Hopper, he'll just run over somebody.

00:54:09.000 But a bear, you know, you're dead.

00:54:12.000 Well, bear, you're not dead.

00:54:13.000 They've got guys standing by, you know.

00:54:16.000 And also, first of all, that kind of bear would not eat meat.

00:54:21.000 They proved it to me right away.

00:54:23.000 They threw in a piece of raw meat, and the bear sniffed it and didn't go for it.

00:54:28.000 And then they threw in a box of donuts, and the bear ate it in about five seconds.

00:54:33.000 What about social justice warrior hipsters?

00:54:34.000 They're like 99% vegetarian.

00:54:36.000 Yeah.

00:54:38.000 Monkey chow and prodigious eaters.

00:54:40.000 Oh no, the bear could just eat circles around any of these new, you know, this new generation.

00:54:46.000 This bear would eat like 24 loaves of bread a day, bags of monkey chow, a dozen heads of lettuce, a bunch of bushels, not bushels, but things of carrots.

00:54:56.000 They tried to have the bear have a well-balanced diet, although the bear liked to drink Pepsi-Cola or Coca-Cola.

00:55:03.000 They did a trick where the bear would, you know, the bear would hold up the coat.

00:55:07.000 So the bear ate a lot, and the bear was big.

00:55:09.000 I got sat on once, and one time I was...

00:55:12.000 Well, how old were you?

00:55:14.000 You weren't a large...

00:55:15.000 You know, you laugh.

00:55:16.000 Have you ever been sat on by a bear?

00:55:18.000 No, no.

00:55:19.000 It friggin' is scary. 0.54

00:55:21.000 Okay. 0.61

00:55:21.000 So, you know... 0.61

00:55:21.000 All right. 0.61

00:55:22.000 I apologize.

00:55:23.000 I can imagine.

00:55:24.000 It was hot.

00:55:25.000 It was hot and the bear was tired.

00:55:28.000 And I was jerking on his chain just one too many times.

00:55:32.000 How fast did you tap?

00:55:35.000 And the bear just turned around and he mauled me.

00:55:38.000 Not mauled me.

00:55:39.000 He got me with his mouth, but he didn't have any front teeth.

00:55:44.000 So it was just a matter of pressure.

00:55:46.000 It was a mighty humble bumble.

00:55:48.000 It scared me.

00:55:50.000 And the animal trainers were in there to pull the bear away. 0.93

00:55:53.000 The bear wasn't going to eat me.

00:55:54.000 The bear was just mad.

00:55:56.000 And that was scary.

00:55:57.000 One time, the worst thing that happened was the raccoon.

00:56:00.000 We had a baby raccoon named Charlie.

00:56:02.000 It was a pet in the series.

00:56:04.000 And Charlie was supposed to come to me, and I was supposed to pick Charlie up in a shot.

00:56:07.000 And we did it a few times.

00:56:09.000 In fact, we did it one too many times.

00:56:10.000 Charlie got used to the behavior, and instead of allowing me to pick him up, Charlie just beat me to it and he just climbed me.

00:56:18.000 And I had a little Terry Cloth shirt on.

00:56:20.000 I mean, just a little cotton shirt.

00:56:23.000 And it was the most painful thing I've ever felt in my life because this raccoon, they have to have their claws because they eat with their claws.

00:56:31.000 It was like a cat with their claws extended climbing me.

00:56:35.000 And, you know, the day shooting was over, and I went to the hospital.

00:56:40.000 And the next day, the wardrobe woman, Peggy Kunkel, she had a leather vest made for me that I could wear underneath my shirt.

00:56:48.000 And I thought, well, that's great, Peggy.

00:56:50.000 Where were you yesterday?

00:56:52.000 And then you could wear that leather vest to street parties in San Francisco.

00:56:56.000 So can we expect any upcoming stories of maybe being mauled by Wookiees or sat on by Ewoks? 0.99

00:57:01.000 Yes.

00:57:02.000 Could that be in the future?

00:57:03.000 Ewoks or Wookiees? 0.97

00:57:04.000 Well, you know what?

00:57:05.000 Listen, I'll neither confirm nor deny I'm even alive at this point. 0.99

00:57:10.000 Damn it! 0.99

00:57:10.000 I'm not even sure. 0.99

00:57:11.000 Damn it, Clint Howard! 0.98

00:57:12.000 I'm not sure where I'm going to be working on next. 0.99

00:57:15.000 But you know what?

00:57:15.000 Things are looking really good.

00:57:17.000 I'm...

00:57:18.000 I'm working.

00:57:20.000 I've been doing some writing.

00:57:21.000 I've got this project that I feel like has a lot of validity.

00:57:24.000 And, you know, my brother's been busy.

00:57:27.000 Uh-oh.

00:57:28.000 Uh-oh, we lost.

00:57:29.000 Well, hold on. 0.98

00:57:30.000 Oh, rats.

00:57:31.000 Somebody that I don't even know is calling in.

00:57:34.000 Hang on.

00:57:35.000 Hang on.

00:57:36.000 Sorry, sorry.

00:57:37.000 Just tell them no.

00:57:38.000 There you go.

00:57:39.000 This is okay.

00:57:39.000 This is a Wonder New Media.

00:57:40.000 This is the show.

00:57:41.000 Hey, let me ask you this.

00:57:42.000 Have you been following, do you follow awards at all anymore, the Emmys?

00:57:45.000 Did you see the announced list?

00:57:47.000 Oh my god, it would take you about an hour to go through the list.

00:57:51.000 They got nominees for best, you know, fluffer and stuff.

00:57:55.000 It's amazing.

00:57:56.000 Well, we were talking about this.

00:57:58.000 I think this year, you know, Emmy's the worst rated year ever for them last year.

00:58:01.000 And they've really overreached.

00:58:02.000 When we talk about far left, they nominated Bill Nye for his Sex Spectrum episode, which was so bad.

00:58:08.000 It was so bad, we just ran the video on the show and laughed. 0.98

00:58:12.000 You know, they were rapping about butt junk and 57 genders. 1.00

00:58:16.000 And it's like... 0.99

00:58:17.000 Wait, wait, wait.

00:58:17.000 And Bill Nye, seriously?

00:58:19.000 He's nominated?

00:58:20.000 He'll win.

00:58:21.000 Would Al Gore up for anything?

00:58:23.000 I'm sorry, I didn't comb over the list really carefully.

00:58:25.000 Is Al...

00:58:27.000 I don't think so.

00:58:28.000 His sequel isn't out yet, so I don't think it is.

00:58:31.000 I don't think so.

00:58:32.000 Well, they're going for the Academy Awards.

00:58:35.000 That's Grammy material there.

00:58:37.000 Now, Ron, he's nominated for an Emmy.

00:58:42.000 And, you know, Ron and I certainly sit on different sides of the dinner table, but he's nominated for me.

00:58:47.000 You know, my brother won a Grammy.

00:58:51.000 I'm sorry.

00:58:51.000 So did Clint Eastwood.

00:58:53.000 Well, why does it piss you off?

00:58:54.000 You should be happy for your brother, Clint.

00:58:56.000 No!

00:58:57.000 No, because...

00:58:59.000 See, I had a band when I was in my early 20s.

00:59:04.000 And, you know, I actually had a...

00:59:07.000 I have an inkling of an artistic, creative kind of skill in the musical realm.

00:59:13.000 Ron is a basket case when it comes to music.

00:59:16.000 He just is.

00:59:17.000 He does...

00:59:19.000 He can play the guitar, and at times he's been inspired.

00:59:22.000 But one of his weaknesses as a filmmaker is he doesn't really connect music to the image.

00:59:27.000 Right.

00:59:28.000 And yet he did the Beatles documentary.

00:59:30.000 And listen, he directed it.

00:59:33.000 He had a lot of people helping him.

00:59:34.000 And the fact that he won an Emmy for that just, I mean, not an Emmy, a Grammy.

00:59:38.000 A Grammy.

00:59:39.000 The fact that he's got his Grammy sitting there, and it's like, that could be Stevie Wonder or David Bowie or Clint Howard.

00:59:46.000 Yes.

00:59:46.000 It's not.

00:59:47.000 It's Ron Howard.

00:59:48.000 And you know what?

00:59:50.000 Maybe it's bad karma.

00:59:51.000 I shouldn't have urinated on him when I was a little bit.

00:59:54.000 Maybe I'm still paying the price. 0.98

00:59:56.000 I think the only way to counterbalance is to urinate on his Grammy. 0.95

00:59:59.000 Get it re-monogrammed. 0.99

01:00:00.000 Steal it.

01:00:01.000 And then next time, I want to see that on your shelf.

01:00:04.000 You know what?

01:00:05.000 I'd have to somehow distract him.

01:00:07.000 Get him away from it for a few minutes.

01:00:09.000 It's a good plan, though.

01:00:10.000 Thanks.

01:00:11.000 Here's what we'll do.

01:00:11.000 We'll issue a press release claiming that you revealed confidential Star Wars information.

01:00:17.000 He'll come out to beat us up.

01:00:18.000 While he's gone, you steal his Grammy.

01:00:21.000 Have you ever heard about anybody urinating down somebody's windpipe?

01:00:24.000 Because that's what would happen to you if that present release came out.

01:00:29.000 Well, no one could say that you didn't see it coming.

01:00:32.000 I hope it's warm there and you can enjoy a nice cool, cool drink.

01:00:38.000 All right.

01:00:38.000 Well, we didn't even get to talk so much about the Emmys, but it's always a pleasure to have Clint Howard on.

01:00:42.000 Clint, we'll get the Skype stuff working next time so we can do a little more, but go enjoy your sauna.

01:00:48.000 Take off the robe and have fun.

01:00:50.000 Not until I get to the sauna.

01:00:52.000 Otherwise, I get arrested. 0.95

01:00:54.000 Let your freak flag fly. 0.98

01:00:55.000 You're a celebrity. 0.96

01:00:57.000 Anytime, man.

01:00:58.000 Anytime.

01:00:58.000 Thanks, Clint.

01:00:59.000 Have a good one.

01:00:59.000 We'll be back.

01:01:00.000 Okay.

01:01:01.000 Okay.

01:01:03.000 We get to the busy where the dreams are in the sky.

01:01:05.000 We get to the busy where the dreams are in the sky.

01:01:19.000 Colton?

01:01:19.000 What?

01:01:21.000 You know I'm trying to watch Lyder with Crowder.

01:01:23.000 I bought this mug to watch daily.

01:01:24.000 You know I won't get my money, Lurge.

01:01:27.000 When are you going to feed the baby?

01:01:29.000 I do it after 9K Jared finishes his story on Aruba.

01:01:33.000 It's your turn to feed the baby! 0.88

01:01:35.000 He's hungry! 0.86

01:01:36.000 Well, why don't you put them titties to good use then? 0.96

01:01:38.000 Lord knows I'm using them! 0.97

01:01:40.000 Why you gotta be so mean, Cole?

01:01:42.000 It's what you were made to do, Josephine!

01:01:45.000 That's your domain! 0.99

01:01:47.000 I wish I could help you, but I can't! 0.99

01:01:49.000 When it comes to reviving and fixing shit, I'll step up! 0.98

01:01:52.000 You know what I always do! 0.99

01:01:56.000 Does that mean you finally fixed the palm town? 1.00

01:01:59.000 F*** you! 1.00

01:02:56.000 Apparently Edward the sound guy has checked out. 0.99

01:02:58.000 But great, thank you very much to Clint Howard.

01:03:01.000 The air, again, stopped working in here.

01:03:03.000 The air conditioning was working.

01:03:05.000 We told you about this.

01:03:05.000 We had problems with it in our studio.

01:03:07.000 And then it worked, and then it stopped.

01:03:09.000 So we brought in the air, and it worked while the air guy was here.

01:03:11.000 Then he left, and stopped working.

01:03:12.000 They meant to know.

01:03:13.000 It's summer.

01:03:14.000 It's summer.

01:03:15.000 Yeah.

01:03:15.000 It is very, very hot.

01:03:17.000 And that really grinds my gears when someone comes over.

01:03:20.000 Well, unless you can replicate the mistake right now.

01:03:22.000 Like when you go to the Apple store, my phone sometimes just freezes.

01:03:25.000 Well, it's not frozen now.

01:03:27.000 Oh, great.

01:03:28.000 Maybe you can solve the problem while I'm walking out with my new phone.

01:03:31.000 Exactly.

01:03:32.000 Would you like to speak to our genius?

01:03:34.000 Yes.

01:03:35.000 Now, how about customer service?

01:03:36.000 You took a weekend course on the iPad.

01:03:38.000 You're not a member of Mensa.

01:03:41.000 Thanks so much to the guests.

01:03:42.000 The theme this week, for those who aren't Mug Club members, we've been talking about, I don't know how many times we've used the phrase, it's time. 0.89

01:03:49.000 From Chris Hemsworth, John Boyega, I think Caitlyn Jenner and The View, there were at least three or four stories of people saying, it's time for X. It's time for female president. 1.00

01:03:58.000 It's time for black people on Game of Thrones. 1.00

01:04:00.000 It's time for Game of Thrones to create a slave show. 0.98

01:04:03.000 Black people in Dunkirk.

01:04:03.000 Yes, the new one.

01:04:04.000 Black people in Dunkirk.

01:04:05.000 It's time for female James Bond. 1.00

01:04:08.000 This is the mantra right now.

01:04:10.000 It's time.

01:04:11.000 What's crazy is Nakajir and I were talking about this.

01:04:14.000 It seems really nonsensical, but when you break it down, you can understand why the it's time is such a commonly used phrase.

01:04:22.000 When we were growing up, you know, it's time to learn these lessons.

01:04:26.000 I remember my dad would say, well, it's time to grow up, son.

01:04:29.000 Or, you know, it's time to learn from your mistakes. 0.98

01:04:32.000 Or, it started with, it's time to wipe your own posterior. 1.00

01:04:36.000 Yeah, it's time to wipe your own butt. 0.99

01:04:37.000 And then it's like, hey, time to dress yourself. 0.99

01:04:39.000 Time to dress yourself.

01:04:40.000 It's time to get a job.

01:04:42.000 It's time to pay for your own school.

01:04:44.000 So there was a point where it's time.

01:04:47.000 There was usually a moment.

01:04:48.000 And what it usually involved was, it's time to insert moral action here.

01:04:55.000 Or action, period, here.

01:04:56.000 Definitive action here.

01:04:57.000 Proactive action here.

01:04:58.000 Or it's time for personal, spiritual, emotional, physical development.

01:05:03.000 That's what it was.

01:05:04.000 Assuming a new responsibility.

01:05:05.000 Right.

01:05:06.000 It's time for...

01:05:09.000 Assuming personal responsibility.

01:05:10.000 It's time to develop.

01:05:12.000 It's time to evolve.

01:05:13.000 And that's how we were all raised.

01:05:14.000 That's basically what schooling was.

01:05:15.000 Why?

01:05:16.000 It's third grade.

01:05:17.000 It's time to learn long division.

01:05:18.000 Maybe that was fourth grade.

01:05:19.000 It's eighth grade.

01:05:20.000 It's time to learn trigonometry.

01:05:21.000 That is what it's time meant.

01:05:23.000 And the left now will never do that.

01:05:25.000 They avoid that like the plague.

01:05:27.000 Oh, okay.

01:05:28.000 So do you mean it's time, while we're talking about the black community being underrepresented, is it time for the black community to get a movement involved where dads stay in the household?

01:05:37.000 Well, no, no, no.

01:05:38.000 It's not time for that.

01:05:39.000 Is it time for kids to pay for their own school?

01:05:43.000 No, no, it's not.

01:05:44.000 Is it time for women, now that they're independent, to purchase their own birth control? 1.00

01:05:48.000 No, no, no.

01:05:48.000 Is it time for people to be responsible to parents?

01:05:51.000 Is it time for parents to make moral judgments in knowing how to raise their children?

01:05:55.000 Is it time for us to make black and white moral decisions regarding our political economic future?

01:06:00.000 No, no, no, no, no.

01:06:01.000 Oh, what do you mean?

01:06:02.000 It's time for a female James Bond. 0.99

01:06:05.000 Oh, you just say it's time because it's something that we haven't seen before.

01:06:08.000 And what does that do?

01:06:09.000 That assumes that there's something inherently morally virtuous if it's something that you haven't experienced.

01:06:14.000 Yeah.

01:06:15.000 Right?

01:06:15.000 We're always going to broaden your horizons.

01:06:16.000 And that's true.

01:06:17.000 There's a lot of good in there.

01:06:18.000 Sure.

01:06:19.000 But not always.

01:06:20.000 No, not always.

01:06:21.000 No.

01:06:22.000 No.

01:06:22.000 I haven't eaten the poisonous portion of a puffer fish.

01:06:24.000 No.

01:06:25.000 It's time.

01:06:27.000 During vacation, I was traveling to Aruba, and one of the options was to have a layover in Mexico City.

01:06:32.000 I've never done that before.

01:06:34.000 It was not time.

01:06:35.000 It was not time for it.

01:06:36.000 That was not a horizon I wanted to be expanded.

01:06:38.000 And it's because right now we live in an era where we've been told for so long, and it's swinging back the other way I'm excited about, that there is no right, there is no wrong.

01:06:46.000 It's situational ethics, right?

01:06:47.000 So you can't say, it's time to...

01:06:51.000 Father up!

01:06:52.000 It's time to marry the girl because you knocked her up. 1.00

01:06:56.000 It's time to provide for your family because you're the man and head of household.

01:07:00.000 We can't do that.

01:07:01.000 So it's just, it's time for, I don't know, what have we not seen before?

01:07:05.000 And they want to draw the equivalency that the first is equivalent to some actual accomplishment.

01:07:12.000 The first black president is equivalent to the first great president. 0.99

01:07:17.000 The first female president is equivalent to The first president who, I don't know, actually follows through on their promises. 1.00

01:07:25.000 The first female James Bond is the equivalent to the most popular James Bond.

01:07:30.000 The most widely viewed as success critically James Bond.

01:07:35.000 Yeah, 99%.

01:07:36.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:07:38.000 Rotten Tomatoes James Bond.

01:07:39.000 It's time for black people on Game of Thrones is the equivalent to, man, the writing's really good on Game of Thrones. 1.00

01:07:47.000 It's time because it's the first...

01:07:50.000 It's their moral equivalency to, it's time to get better.

01:07:54.000 And that's where you're seeing this.

01:07:56.000 It's the same enclave of people, culturally, who don't want red pens on tests.

01:08:03.000 They don't want someone to win a soccer game.

01:08:05.000 Owen was singing about that earlier.

01:08:07.000 This is that generation, so this generation where they don't believe in themselves, they don't believe in resting on the laurels of their accomplishments, It's got to be something else.

01:08:16.000 So I know, it doesn't have to be an accomplishment.

01:08:17.000 It doesn't necessarily have to be something that's actually of any benefit to society.

01:08:21.000 But, by God, it'll be the first.

01:08:24.000 Because it's time.

01:08:25.000 You know what?

01:08:26.000 It's time to actually go back to judging people based on their merits.

01:08:30.000 How about that?

01:08:30.000 It's time to go back to a meritocracy.

01:08:33.000 It's time to handle your own crap and take some personal responsibility. 0.99

01:08:37.000 It's time to stop saying it's time. 1.00

01:08:40.000 And I hate you. 0.99
