On this week's episode of Notcast, the guys talk about the new SimpliSafe Home Security System, why you don't need a home security system, and why you should definitely get one. Plus, we take a feminist quiz.
00:07:15.000What kind of usage were these things getting where they were like, oh, you need a new one?
00:07:17.000What's crazy to me is this is the kind of thing where people come forward with these suits and you're going, you got a dildo three years in a row.
00:07:23.000What created an environment where this man was comfortable sending a colleague a dildo three days in a row?
00:07:28.000It's like my mom is obsessed with Snowman.
00:07:29.000You just know, like, you want to get her gifts, get her Snowman.
00:07:32.000At some point, someone told him dildos are their thing.
00:08:00.000Aaron Gatzer said he thought that sleeping with her body might revive her because his girlfriend hated sleeping with him, according to the arrest warrant.
00:08:16.000It would seem absurd, except the rights have already been purchased to this story by AMC for their tentatively titled The F***ing Dead, and they're already taking auditions, we hear.
00:09:04.000Robots are now being used to deter homeless people from setting up camp in San Francisco.
00:09:08.000This comes to us from Business Insider.
00:09:09.000The San Francisco Business Times reported last week that the San Francisco SPCA and Animal Advocacy and Pet Adoption Group put a security robot to work outside its facilities, the gentrifying neighborhood.
00:09:20.000I understand where you're coming from.
00:09:22.000And then there are obviously all kinds of protesters.
00:09:24.000They don't think that you should be getting rid of homeless people at all.
00:09:26.000It's a problem in San Francisco, though.
00:09:55.000New Jersey suburb finds itself in a heated, there's no good way to get at it, finds itself in a heated standoff over what the locals are now claiming is a hyper-sexualized logo for an ice cream shop.
00:10:15.000When I first read the story, I thought, oh, that's a human ass on a cow.
00:10:21.000It really seems as though they're pushing it.
00:10:23.000And of course, this is a growing trend, we all know, in the food mascot marketing, as seen recently with the makeover of the Land O'Lakes Butter Indian.
00:10:32.000And then there was, of course, the redo of the Sun-Made Raisin Lady.
00:10:38.000And you can see, and then of course it culminated in Tony the cyber sexting tiger.
00:10:43.000And it was unrelated obviously to the hypersexualization, but there are racial tensions in the country and people were obviously upset about Aunt Jeff talking about pancake mix.
00:12:06.000Of course, the surgeon, by the way, is no stranger to controversy, given that four livers just came forward last year, alleging that he forced them to watch him masturbate in the surgery prep room.
00:12:31.000And I mentioned people's opinions on it, but there have been a lot of, before we get to the opinions, there were a lot of memes going around.
00:12:35.000Nakajara was the one who showed this to me.
00:12:38.000Funny, the memes, we couldn't find the source, and we found out, I think it was CNN, but memes declared that black women made more loose.
00:12:44.000This is something you see everywhere right now.
00:12:46.000And I, immediately when I watched it, I go, well, of course that's untrue.
00:12:49.000And it's one of those things we weren't going to talk about until we realized that most people, if you're not paying attention, they don't know that, of course, that's untrue.
00:14:12.000I think it's an age thing for Republicans, typically the ones that are on the ticket no matter what, always, ever.
00:14:18.000Typically older people for Republicans.
00:14:20.000I think it's typically younger people you find more and more for Democrats, seeing as all the people who are Bernie, Bernie, Bernie only, hate Hillary, but still pull the love of her.
00:14:50.000They get behind their candidate, and people would try and say, well, you have to do that, whether it was Trump, whoever it was.
00:14:55.000You have to get behind the candidate no matter what.
00:14:56.000Well, it's mental gymnastics after that just to try to say, oh, I'm still with this person because they don't even believe what they say they believe.
00:15:01.000Well, that's because one, people say, well, you're a political ideologue.
00:15:08.000This kind of shows that conservatives are more principled, for sure.
00:15:12.000Their prism, their worldview, it determines their values, but it's not based on an R. And ironically, people who label themselves Republicans are more likely to proudly say, I'm a conservative, I'm a Republican.
00:15:23.000I see other guys going, I don't believe in labels, man.
00:15:50.000I think right now you can, and you and I probably disagree a little, but you can throw that out and it's going to sabotage anybody right now.
00:15:57.000Anybody is willing to believe it because so many examples have come out where like, oh yeah, no, this really is going on.
00:16:02.000So even if there's no evidence, in his case, I think there was a lot of evidence.
00:16:05.000But I think any other year, it would have been a little different story.
00:16:07.000I don't think that's right, but I think it would have been.
00:16:09.000So I don't think it's a Republican thing.
00:16:10.000I think you're kind of right, maybe in terms of a temporary bubble.
00:16:14.000But I think long-term right now, people are going, all right, sexual assault.
00:16:42.000There's legitimate stuff that we have to fight against in sexual assault, but right now, my fear is that there's no due process for anybody.
00:16:48.000You throw it out there right now, and people are willing to believe it.
00:16:50.000You and I are getting to the point where we're like, show me proof.
00:17:17.000I find myself going back and forth, but I do think long-term, you've got to fight the long-term war of these things.
00:17:22.000And I think with Trump, if it weren't for the Supreme Court, I think it absolutely would have been worth the long-term war to let someone else take it for a little bit.
00:17:32.000Looking back, kind of the Ben Shapiro position.
00:17:34.000I think Trump has definitely caused irreparable damage to the Republican Party.
00:17:37.000And the Supreme Court was really, really important.
00:23:14.000Can you explain for people who don't know the term intersectional feminist?
00:23:20.000Okay, so intersectionality is basically it's what feminists believe that like women in general and people experience oppression in like varying degrees.
00:23:28.000So it's basically like White people aren't good enough, the belief system.
00:23:33.000It's basically like, it's not enough to be a feminist and advocate for women.
00:23:36.000You have to focus on, you know, black issues and how they trump women's issues.
00:23:40.000And then it goes into, like, disabled people.
00:23:42.000And then it goes into, like, I don't know, Down syndrome babies.
00:23:46.000You swear you haven't read this quiz yet?
00:29:31.000According to Wikipedia, so this is authoritative, misogynoir is misogyny directed towards black women where race and gender both play roles in bias.
00:29:40.000It was coined by queer black feminists.
00:29:43.000Moya Bailey, who created a term to address misogyny, directed toward black women in America, visual, popular culture, blah, blah, blah.
00:29:48.000You know what, Blair, you were right to ask, because it's in the question, what are your thoughts on gender and sexual, it has nothing to do with race.
00:29:55.000So this writer just threw it in, he'd be like, look at the word I know, misogynoir.
00:30:00.000That's the intersectional thing, though.
00:30:01.000They always have to bring up black people as well.
00:30:14.000We're all reading this for the first time.
00:30:15.000It says, I mean, the kind of pro-hoaxism where you understand the labor of sex workers of color, especially trans women of color who engage in sex workers of color.
00:34:01.000If I'm answering honestly, we've talked about this.
00:34:03.000Listen, obviously some atrocities committed on both sides, but here's the deal.
00:34:07.000When you're talking about settlers, about the United States more particularly, if no one ever came here, right, and they still had not domesticated horses, they didn't use the wheel.
00:35:23.000Regardless of your view, and I'm kind of a libertarian on that, but it does destroy lives, it basically, when you're saying, let's tax it and regulate sex work, you've effectively made us the pimp.
00:36:59.000White Americans stole this land, colonized the land, created so many borders, pushed out killing enslaved people of color, and somehow they have their deaths.
00:37:06.000At what point does intersectionality include the Africans who came over here and apparently built the country by themselves?
00:37:39.000This is the beauty of this intersectional LGBTQAIP, put it all under one umbrella, because they just act as though if you have to ask, you couldn't possibly understand.
00:38:32.000You'd be claiming to be a feminist if I didn't stand in solidarity with my Muslim friends and family, especially now, especially after 9-11.
00:39:08.000The irony is this person is so intersectional, but they actually don't support LGBT people in Muslim countries because they're sitting here denying that Islam is violent.
00:41:20.000We do have to go, and I know you're going to be, well, I can't say, but we have this big 16-hour livestream next week, and Blair may or may not be there.
00:41:26.000What do you, these people, they're just intersectionality.
00:41:29.000Obviously, it's really stemmed from the transgender thing.
00:41:31.000That's where they've, like, they've latched on to it.
00:41:36.000How frustrating is it for you to always have to say, yes, I'm trans, but, because I would assume you run into people who think you would agree with this all the time.
00:43:13.000On the first day of Christmas Something triggered me A straight couple with a family On the twelfth day of Christmas, something triggered me.
00:43:32.000Twelve Christians praying, eleven good cops copping, ten trumps a-tweeting, nine men succeeding, eight comics joking, seven armed civilians, six Russians hacking, five whites with no guilt.
00:43:49.000Four soy-less lattes, three full-time moms, two total genders, and a straight couple with a family.
00:46:32.000Speaking of that, you know, you got to be a little careful about as you apply stuff, otherwise you don't want any floaties in your snow globes.
00:46:39.000Well, then that's crappy commode gone wrong.
00:46:42.000Yeah, crappy commode, you could get floaties.
00:48:17.000It's a movie about a guy who spends 50 years in prison and he gets out of prison and he goes on this kind of odyssey and he helps everybody that he sort of comes in contact with.
00:48:30.000And I play the son, and I'm like the only guy in the story that just isn't bowled over by this man because my memories of him are distorted because of the spit-stained, scratched-up plexiglass that I had to, you know, grow up.
00:48:44.000And you worked on this with Rance Howard, with your dad.
00:49:16.000Both Ron and I have certainly talked about it in terms of, I don't think we have the intestinal fortitude to do what he did or to break the chains and go from, you know, to make a move from Oklahoma, you know.
00:49:31.000To Hollywood, let alone, I mean, Ron being able to be a storyteller and a producer of major things and people pay attention and just even entertaining.
00:50:23.000Well, some people don't get breaks, but obviously you said that fortitude and that kind of a work ethic, it lends itself to being the kind of guy who's there when the break can occur.
00:50:31.000Well, you know, also, too, you know, listen, doing an autopsy of his life, I mean, he turned out to be a really, really good dude.
00:51:46.000And so dad took Lee Van Cleef down to the stables in Manhattan, you know, in Central Park for three or four times and had sessions where he taught him how to ride.
00:51:57.000Lee Van Cleef got that part in high noon and Lee Van Cleef ended up having that career.
00:52:02.000I wonder if there's someone out there right now who would be telling that story.
00:52:05.000I remember when I saw Rance Howard and Lee Van Cleef riding horses in the middle of Central Park in a straitjacket in a padded room right now.
00:53:09.000You know, you see like all these top comedians, and of course we talk about from a liberal perspective, like Amy Schumer and all these people that are just super far left, and you go, really?
00:53:17.000So you just all happen to be best friends, the top comics out there.
00:53:21.000No, what happens is after they become successful, they're not as threatened, they have kind of their lane, and all of a sudden there's camaraderie.
00:53:28.000But coming up, what about the guy who was the open mic-er, not Bill Burr when Louis C.K. was coming up?
00:54:25.000Spanking privately is one thing, but if you're spanking it in public, you have to accept the fact that eventually the dominoes are going to fall.
00:55:09.000But the reality in the entertainment industry, you know, we've talked about this a lot when you deal with, they say, well, there's a rape culture.
00:55:14.000There's this idea of, you know, people are so unhappy and that's what you see in nearly every film.
00:55:19.000Well, the rape culture really only exists in a few places and Hollywood is one of them.
00:55:22.000It's not out there in Oklahoma, the same effect.
00:55:24.000But is this something you kind of knew about as an open secret for a long time?
00:55:30.000First of all, no, I was kept fairly naive by my parents.
00:55:33.000Not naive, but I think they allowed me to be kids as long as possible in terms of learning about that stuff, about bullying in the workplace.
00:55:42.000I mean, when you really think about it, there's somebody of power that somebody potentially could be hiring.
00:55:50.000And so if he makes a move on somebody, or even if that woman thinks he's making a move on her with the illusion that it might include employment, we have a serious litigation issue here.
00:56:56.000So, it's not something that is just...
00:56:58.000You know, now, the fact that there may or may not have been, like, drugs kind of mixed in there to sort of help lubricate the situation, that's really sick.
00:58:59.000It's human nature, but you add the fame filter.
00:59:01.000And you know this, people treat you very, very differently.
00:59:04.000You know, if you meet someone who doesn't know who Clint Howard is, you know, by a stroke of luck, they treat you differently from someone who's at Comic-Con, right?
00:59:11.000It's just, there's a psychology with it.
00:59:14.000It's an entirely different relationship right off the bat.
00:59:44.000I mean, listen, you don't think that getting publicity at the advantage of some...
00:59:49.000Exactly, and that shortchanges the actual victims when you just have someone saying like, oh, you know, you could have accused our makeup artist of sexually harassing you because they had to get all up in there when...
01:01:15.000I don't mean literally getting shtuped, but being in an uncomfortable situation, they take a gamble.
01:01:22.000I know that, of course, and I'm saying you think it goes even a step further.
01:01:26.000So if they're willing to take that kind of a gamble, if they're anything even remotely right of far left, you keep your mouth shut if you want to work, if you're a young kid.
01:02:27.000But it wasn't until after, you know, he was president, or after he stopped being president.
01:02:33.000Well, yeah, I mean, I think it's no secret that obviously you're one of the more outspoken sort of conservatives in Hollywood, because at this point, you are who you are.
01:02:51.000And so for somebody starting out, regardless of right or wrong, conviction is one thing, and religious conviction, spiritual conviction is one thing.
01:03:01.000But you'd be doing yourself a favor in the business if you kept your mouth shut.
01:08:32.000Yeah, which is funny because it's coming full circle now where the people who are honest with themselves, I think, are waking up to see that.
01:08:38.000You tie that in with Mike Pence, who was mocked, what, eight months ago?
01:08:42.000For all the comments about being loyal to his wife and not being caught one-on-one with a woman where his accusations could even be taken seriously.
01:11:26.000It's not cool at all to have a worldview.
01:11:28.000It's not cool to be an ideologue when everyone who's ever been successful, ever!
01:11:33.000Has had an ideology, whether it's sports, whether it's politics, whether it's philosophy, whether it's the realm of intelligentsia, even if it's a philosophy, some kind of worldview to your work approach.
01:11:44.000Here's something I find really interesting, and I hear this more and more.
01:11:46.000We heard it the other day from somebody.
01:11:47.000I won't name who it was, but it was someone who identified as a liberal.
01:11:50.000But they said, but don't worry, I'm an open-minded liberal.
01:11:53.000I think at one point in time, that used to be assumed by liberals that, hey, they were the open-minded ones, conservatives were the dogmatic.
01:12:02.000I don't know why they say that, though.
01:12:30.000Because they don't want to be one of the uncool kids.
01:12:32.000That's why I always hated the term libertarian.
01:12:33.000As I'm a libertarian conservative to describe my views, I certainly would be much more libertarian than many people out there who claim to be libertarian.
01:12:39.000But Bill Maher, Greg Gutfeld, and Glenn Beck all claim to be libertarian, so it doesn't mean anything anymore.
01:12:44.000Let's say I'm more libertarian in my views of limited government, but I'm a conservative.
01:12:47.000I would go out of my way to say that because I knew it was trying to shuck the uncool label of conservative.
01:12:59.000We talked about that earlier this week, and someone actually said this.
01:13:02.000They said net neutrality, the death tax is such a great example of how Stephen's either A, a sheep, B, a shell, or C is too much of an ideologue to see his own party's BS. No one needs more than $11 million in a death tax.
01:14:53.000Because I am a conservative, because I have these principles, ah, if Roy Moore, if Roy Moore sexually assaulted someone, I have a problem with it.
01:15:00.000Now you have that with the alt-right, right?
01:15:41.000When I was competing in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, you would have these kids come in with all of the geese and the new gear, and they would just walk up and try and be like, listen, man, it's about flowing, about being relaxed, and they would get smoked.
01:15:51.000From the uncool kid who spent 20 hours a week drilling one move.
