On this week's episode of Feminist Cops, the team is back with a brand new episode featuring some of our favorite guests: Gerald Morgan Jr., Owen Benjamin, Jim Norton, and Clint Howard. They discuss the John McCain tragedy, the new cast of American Horror Story: Afterlife, and more.
00:03:36.000But 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.
00:07:41.000So they obviously weren't big fans of the treatment there.
00:07:43.000And 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.
00:07:58.000You think maybe they could reform them a little better.
00:08:02.000It seems irresponsible to put a stabbing room with O.J. Simpson.
00:08:06.000So, 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.
00:09:14.000I'm glad you're playing this joke, because when you made that transition, that was not the smoothest segue into Planet Apes.
00:09:20.000For people who don't know, DeRay was complaining that they appropriated his blue vest.
00:09:24.000And 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.
00:09:35.000And 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!
00:09:41.000You ruined it for everybody in the theater.
00:09:43.000Yeah, you used to have to wait for Michael Richards to point something like that out.
00:09:46.000It was like Robert De Niro in Cape Fear.
00:12:44.000She'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.
00:13:14.000Because that's not a movie anybody wants to see.
00:14:44.000Just like if you think someone is a coward because...
00:14:46.000If 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.
00:15:35.000Most criminals are in for a fair fight.
00:15:36.000Study 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.
00:15:43.000It's pretty much impossible to defend against a knife attack.
00:15:47.000That'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.
00:15:54.000Right, and I couldn't find this study.
00:15:56.000We didn't have enough time to do it, but there was one with a chalk knife.
00:15:58.000And 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.
00:16:11.000Only 80 of them, well, only 80 of them were stabbed and dead before they realized.
00:17:55.000Because, 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.
00:18:05.000And violent crime in England and Wales has gone up 19%.
00:18:27.000Therefore, if you carry one, you're bad, you're a weapon.
00:18:30.000That's not the reality that we live in.
00:18:33.000So, 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.
00:19:39.000So 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.
00:19:48.000It'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.
00:19:56.000But 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.
00:21:39.000man 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.
00:22:04.000Funny, if we had him on the first time, we didn't know, I guess, what the crossover was with people who watched the show.
00:22:12.000But I realize a lot of young people who watched the show didn't realize that Jim used to be heavier.
00:22:17.000And we talked about that this week on the show.
00:22:18.000show 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.
00:22:46.000Yeah, there's no toilet flushing sounds.
00:22:50.000Hold a car, see how long you can hold your bladder.
00:22:52.000We had that in Montreal, a morning show, and someone died.
00:22:56.000Because 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.
00:23:39.000That has got to be unbelievably painful.
00:23:40.000Okay, Jim, we covered this on the website this week.
00:23:43.000I 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.
00:23:55.000Saying, 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.
00:24:22.000Whenever a company does something like that, it just annoys me.
00:24:25.000It'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.
00:24:33.000So, whatever a company moralizes, it's pretty easy to catch them being full of shit.
00:24:38.000Well, 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.
00:24:49.000They are effectively selling the business of beauty.
00:24:53.000At what point do you think they thought this was a good idea and did they respond to you at all?
00:25:27.000Now 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.
00:27:32.000If people listening like that person, then they'll see it for what it is.
00:27:36.000Like, wow, that was kind of a nice compliment.
00:27:38.000You know, like Obama was talking about some woman who's an attorney general or whatever she was.
00:27:43.000And 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.
00:27:49.000And that was fine, but if a guy they don't like politically says it, he's a criminal.
00:27:56.000I 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.
00:28:29.000And the guy was like, oh yeah, because I couldn't possibly talk about her brains.
00:28:34.000Or something like that about her intro.
00:28:36.000Like, he said that, and I was like, you dick.
00:28:38.000First 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.
00:28:47.000Because for my wife, it is a compliment.
00:28:49.000I feel like, oh, yeah, she looks great.
00:28:50.000And the guy actually went out of his way to do this, and I can't...
00:28:53.000I 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?
00:29:41.000And 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.
00:29:50.000If he wrote you a whole letter, he's clearly a trainee in hiding.
00:29:52.000I mean, it's just, what low self-confidence must you have to be affected by it?
00:29:58.000Why don't you meet these people at Berkeley?
00:30:01.000No, 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.
00:30:24.000When things are good, it is weird when we focus on it.
00:30:27.000When 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.
00:30:37.000Because special interest groups, they always need a function.
00:30:39.000They always need to exist, otherwise they'll go away.
00:31:04.000We need to let Jim have a fair shake at this.
00:31:06.000This was him on The View, and I've talked about this, and you and I have mostly agreed, but had some slight disagreements.
00:31:11.000And I think your generation, a little bit like you and Nick DiPaolo, have somewhat of a blind spot.
00:31:17.000And 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.
00:31:24.000It was, okay, I think that guy's a dick.
00:32:01.000No, I think there were things that we shouldn't have been saying.
00:32:04.000And 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.
00:32:18.000Well, as a comic, you know, if he says there's things I shouldn't have been saying, that's fine.
00:32:23.000Like, you know, you look back, I look back on a couple things I've said, and I'm like, ugh, that was too harsh.
00:32:28.000But when it comes to allowing people to say stuff, there can be, especially because Trevor comes to a really, an oppressive place.
00:32:34.000Like, 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.
00:33:01.000Mine is not To forward a political agenda.
00:33:08.000Sometimes that does have a political agenda, but it's not, you know, I'll bash the Republicans or I'll bash the Democrats.
00:33:13.000Like for me, my job as a comedian is to be honest and funny.
00:33:16.000But again, he may see his job Differently, I just don't see my job as needing to be progressive or conservative.
00:33:22.000It's just got to be funny and original.
00:33:24.000But 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.
00:33:53.000Yeah, I don't necessarily agree with that.
00:33:55.000I mean, I don't need to be progressive.
00:33:57.000And 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.
00:34:04.000And there's a lot of people I think suck as people, but they're allowed to say whatever they want.
00:34:08.000And I never want a comic to get in trouble.
00:34:10.000I never want anyone to get in trouble for saying things.
00:34:13.000I'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.
00:34:19.000Do you make the De Niro face when you say it?
00:34:27.000It just seems like it's your natural set point when you use the phrase.
00:34:30.000Have you felt it changed, though, like in recent years?
00:34:32.000Obviously, 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.
00:34:38.000But then, you know, you've been doing kind of you've been at the front of XM radio and podcasting.
00:34:43.000Have 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.
00:35:16.000I think a lot of them really feel like, hey, this is the best way to do it.
00:35:20.000And 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.
00:35:27.000But that opinion just in itself offends a lot of people in the country.
00:35:31.000So 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?
00:36:39.000But 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.
00:36:53.000And you go through it and you go, well, it's like nothing they said was unsafe at all.
00:36:58.000They just used some naughty words, but nothing was really offensive as a premise.
00:37:02.000Do you feel like you see that sometimes?
00:38:05.000Some 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.
00:38:10.000Well, I think it's an unholy marrying of, you know, we've talked about this.
00:38:13.000My friend Bill Whittle has talked about this.
00:38:15.000The left inherently supports the underdog, even if the underdog is morally reprehensible.
00:38:20.000So it's like, okay, we have to support gays right now because gay marriage are the underdog.
00:38:24.000But now we have to support Islam because Islam, so, okay, got it.
00:38:27.000Well, now we have to support this Muslim who wants to hang gay people because it's an oppression Olympics, or we...
00:38:32.000Well, now we have to say there need to be more black people in Game of Thrones because there's not enough.
00:38:36.000And 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.
00:38:48.000And 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.
00:39:02.000Like 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.
00:40:31.000You know, we just had Owen Benjamin on.
00:40:34.000I don't know if you've ever worked with Owen at all.
00:40:36.000More of a Los Angeles comedian, but, you know, he was...
00:40:39.000He'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.
00:40:47.000You know, Goofy, he's a master pianist.
00:40:51.000Like, he's been playing classical piano for a long time.
00:40:53.000So, but now if you watch him, he is more conservative.
00:41:04.000He'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.
00:41:13.000And 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.
00:41:21.000It's kind of like, you know, you've talked about jujitsu or MMA. Everyone has their theories.
00:41:24.000I've got this tiger claw and I know how the world works, how combat works.
00:41:28.000And then all of a sudden they get hit once.
00:41:29.000Oh, I really don't know what this world is like.
00:41:32.000I 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.
00:41:39.000And do you think maybe it's a symptom of them being so insulated?
00:41:44.000Do you think anyone in Trevor Noah's set says, hey, hold on a second.
00:42:21.000Whether or not they were stupid or inappropriate, okay.
00:42:23.000But there were people that wanted to yank his job.
00:42:25.000And I'm like, first of all, good for Comedy Central for sticking with him.
00:42:29.000But 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.
00:43:36.000But it's going to be around for a while, except that you know who you are, who we're talking to.
00:43:41.000Loudearthcutter.com/mugclub, thank you guys so much.
00:43:43.000You 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.
00:44:00.000Mug 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.

00:48:58.000But other than that, they quit sending their airplanes for people pretty quickly.
00:49:02.000Well, 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.
00:49:09.000And, you know, he came out of the closet as much more conservative.
00:49:14.000And after that, he could not get a good review for any film.
00:49:17.000Now, 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.
00:51:24.000Somebody told me that I said the most ridiculous thing.
00:51:28.000So he's giving himself not just deniability, but he's admitting he's talking third-hand about himself.
00:51:35.000But 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.
00:51:56.000Well, I hope to see you in there, obviously, because you've been in so many iconic roles.
00:52:01.000It would be awesome to see you be in one of the most iconic film franchises.
00:52:17.000How do you not remember who you read for?
00:52:20.000Well, 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.
00:52:31.000It wasn't like today's world, when you go in for an audition, they have you read every line of dialogue in the sitcom.
00:52:53.000And I saw Mark was nervously pacing, learning, looking at the lines.
00:52:58.000And 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.
00:53:10.000And the last thing I wanted to hear was some childhood reference.
00:53:15.000No offense to George, but in my mind, I'm just going, ha!
00:54:40.000Oh no, the bear could just eat circles around any of these new, you know, this new generation.
00:54:46.000This 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.
00:54:56.000They tried to have the bear have a well-balanced diet, although the bear liked to drink Pepsi-Cola or Coca-Cola.
00:55:03.000They did a trick where the bear would, you know, the bear would hold up the coat.
00:55:07.000So the bear ate a lot, and the bear was big.
00:55:09.000I got sat on once, and one time I was...
00:56:23.000And 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.
00:56:31.000It was like a cat with their claws extended climbing me.
00:56:35.000And, you know, the day shooting was over, and I went to the hospital.
00:56:40.000And the next day, the wardrobe woman, Peggy Kunkel, she had a leather vest made for me that I could wear underneath my shirt.
00:56:48.000And I thought, well, that's great, Peggy.
01:03:42.000The 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.
01:03:49.000From 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.
01:03:58.000It's time for black people on Game of Thrones.
01:04:00.000It's time for Game of Thrones to create a slave show.
01:05:28.000So 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?
01:06:36.000That was not a horizon I wanted to be expanded.
01:06:38.000And 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.
01:08:07.000This 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.
01:08:16.000So I know, it doesn't have to be an accomplishment.
01:08:17.000It doesn't necessarily have to be something that's actually of any benefit to society.
