00:02:54.000 How many? We'll talk about Nick DiPaolo later.

00:02:58.000 Infinite just discovered his nose.

00:03:00.000 The naturally occurring chemical in your mind.

00:03:02.000 It's 420 every day. So glad.

00:03:05.000 I love Joe. He's going to be on the show, I think, here sometime soon.

00:03:06.000 Or actually, we'll be back. Either you'll be with me on the Joe Rogan show or Bill Richmond to talk about the YouTube and the legal stuff.

00:03:13.000 Hold on. We haven't brought it. We have great guests today.

00:03:14.000 We have Nick DiPaolo. Boom. Just fired from Sirius Radio for what I think is a perfectly acceptable tweet.

00:03:19.000 What? What? And then we have Dave Rubin, who you never know what he's going to say.

00:03:23.000 You don't. Generally, he doesn't surprise you.

00:03:25.000 Hotchwinds as well. Not to mention the Hotchwinds.

00:03:27.000 Yeah, we have the Hotchwinds, a little cameo from the Hotchwinds.

00:03:29.000 And if, sound guy, maybe you can bring up my mic a little bit.

00:03:32.000 I don't know why. I'm hearing myself like I'm talking in a pool, which is silly.

00:03:34.000 Producing with me in video studio, as always, is Jared, who is not gay. 0.98

00:03:37.000 Sounds great. Follow him on Twitter, not gay, Jared. 1.00

00:03:40.000 Me, it is Crowder with your comments, your thoughts, your Photoshop, stuff, a film, and legal obligations.

00:03:42.000 Draw your own conclusions. Are we good? Am I not gay after that sketch?

00:03:45.000 I have no idea. I don't know anymore.

00:03:47.000 You're not doing yourself any favors, love.

00:03:49.000 And then we have sommeliersimplifiedwine.com, G. Morgan Jr., what's the wine of the day?

00:03:53.000 We have Black Sears Zinfandel.

00:03:55.000 Black Sears Zinfandel.

00:03:57.000 Is it like a Sears that sets up in an urban demographic?

00:04:00.000 I don't know. It sounds like a terrible bottle of wine.

00:04:01.000 It came in black in the name of the wine.

00:04:03.000 And we have Sven Computer. Are you ready for the overlays?

00:04:04.000 I'm ready for the overlays. I want to give a shout out to the Twitter account.

00:04:09.000 It's his own. He went back to like the normal way.

00:04:12.000 We're just not going to renew his work visa.

00:04:14.000 He's not here to work visa. He's here illegally. 1.00

00:04:16.000 And Hopper Cam, by the way, for people who don't know.

00:04:19.000 So here's the question of the day before we move on.

00:04:21.000 What do you think about the Kanye West situation?

00:04:22.000 We're going to be talking about that. More so about the idea sort of of black Democrats as a monolith at large and the backlash from the media.

00:04:30.000 Question number two. How many people out there are long-time enough listeners that you remember Kanye as our bump music?

00:04:37.000 And here's the thing, just to confirm, what was the bump?

00:04:40.000 We used one specific Kanye bump for the last segment before the Drowning Dance, before we went on YouTube, and then we got hit with a copyright violation.

00:04:47.000 Rightfully so. No more Kanye.

00:04:49.000 I've always said, the guy's an ass, but a very talented MC. Not bad. 1.00

00:04:53.000 Alright, well listen. Top story.

00:04:55.000 Bill Cosby was found guilty.

00:04:56.000 Oops. The sexual assault retrial comedian Bill Cosby.

00:04:59.000 This comes from HuffPo just because we can take this story from anywhere.

00:05:01.000 Don't necessarily trust him. Don't take it as a vote of confidence.

00:05:04.000 Exactly. Found guilty on three felony counts of aggravated...

00:05:08.000 Indecent assault. Really the indecent at that point, it almost seems.

00:05:11.000 He was retried on three felony counts of aggravated indecent assault for drugging, basically.

00:05:15.000 Is there a decent assault?

00:05:16.000 What would that be?

00:05:17.000 I don't know. I don't know. I'm sure that must have been argued.

00:05:19.000 That must be what you do to me. You see, my assault was decent because I was looking to a nice fancy restaurant, blah, blah, blah.

00:05:27.000 Did he drug himself in that one?

00:05:29.000 Many people are... See, he often did.

00:05:30.000 That's the thing. He drugged both of them.

00:05:32.000 He just had a higher tolerance. There you go.

00:05:33.000 It was like a game of chicken with proofies. 0.79

00:05:35.000 We'll both do it. Don't play it with Roman Polanski.

00:05:37.000 So many are saying that this is a landmark case, obviously, for victims of sexual assault.

00:05:40.000 Now, some are arguing that it doesn't go far enough in punishing this sort of pervasive male abuse of power.

00:05:45.000 However, with unilateral agreement that the ruling will definitely hurt pre-orders for Mr.

00:05:50.000 Cosby's dating tips, it puts the bill and let it race her! 1.00

00:05:56.000 He's so old at this point.

00:05:57.000 Is he really a troubled threat to society at this point?

00:06:01.000 He's going to break a hip in the shower.

00:06:02.000 He's going to be a rough go.

00:06:04.000 Someone will break his hip in the shower.

00:06:05.000 America's dad is going to jail for this.

00:06:07.000 I'm just like, what world do I live in now?

00:06:10.000 No, it was America's dad.

00:06:11.000 Was he a family doctor?

00:06:13.000 Yeah, he was a family doctor. Imagine sending your kids to that doctor.

00:06:16.000 I don't want to talk about it!

00:06:18.000 He saw a lot of pregnant women too, so I'm just saying...

00:06:21.000 Made a lot of pregnant women, too. They just weren't aware.

00:06:23.000 The British Veterinary Association, by the way, is now warning that dogs cannot get autism as the anti-vaxxer movement is now apparently spreading to pets.

00:06:32.000 This comes from the Telegraph. The BVA said, We are aware of an increase in anti-vaccination pet owners in the U.S. who have voiced concerns about vaccinations that may lead to their dogs developing autism-like behavior, but there is currently no scientific evidence to suggest autism in dogs or a link between vaccination and autism.

00:06:47.000 Well, tell that to my dog, who will exclusively fly Qantas, okay?

00:06:53.000 And of course, this actually might put a damper on Disney's new Christmas release.

00:06:57.000 Air Bud 19. Buddy plays his fourth at the Special Olympics.

00:07:01.000 Oh, gosh.

00:07:04.000 This explains a lot of the behavior of Shih Tzus to me. 0.99

00:07:06.000 There ain't nothing in the rule book that says dogs can't be retards. 1.00

00:07:10.000 You know, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close may have been a serviceable film if it was a dog.

00:07:14.000 If it was a dog. Instead of that annoying kid.

00:07:16.000 Throw in Dean Cain. You got a classic.

00:07:18.000 Maybe there was a dog director. Instead, I just wanted to swallow Tide Pods.

00:07:21.000 13 semis, big trucks lined up on a Detroit freeway to help a man who was considering suicide.

00:07:27.000 So I think we have a clip, right?

00:07:28.000 Do you have a clip? Clip, yeah.

00:07:30.000 There was a man on top of the bridge.

00:07:32.000 Authorities believe he was about to take his own life.

00:07:34.000 They start to grab semi-drivers and troopers standing there and were able to line these semi-trucks underneath that overpass.

00:07:41.000 So it's kind of like a safety net to make sure if he moved anywhere in that overpass there was a semi there.

00:07:46.000 Well, listen, come on.

00:07:47.000 If he's motivated, he can hit it. It was a valiant effort.

00:07:49.000 Unfortunately, their valiant efforts proved futile as Detroit has actually just installed the suicide lane on the freeway.

00:07:55.000 Oh, gosh. Helpful to mark those.

00:07:58.000 There's so many plot holes in this.

00:08:00.000 By the way, fun fact for Detroit.

00:08:02.000 Faster than the police response time, it seems now, to people committing suicide is the other guy at the end of the CB radio from Joyride.

00:08:10.000 Detroit's a city in comebacks.

00:08:13.000 We have loads of burgeoning coffee houses and inspiring art districts.

00:08:20.000 The acid rain washes everything clean.

00:08:25.000 Just tell him you like pink champagne, man.

00:08:28.000 No one in the pitchroom, aside from Johnny Boy, had seen Joyride.

00:08:30.000 It's true. Was that the candy cane thing?

00:08:32.000 Yeah, candy cane. Candy cane.

00:08:33.000 Yeah, okay, alright, yeah, yeah, I'm tracking with you.

00:08:35.000 That's the same actor as a buffalo bill.

00:08:37.000 Point is, some days you just pick the wrong bridge.

00:08:39.000 Some days you just pick the wrong bridge.

00:08:42.000 In Detroit, every bridge is the wrong bridge.

00:08:45.000 You've heard of a bridge to nowhere? It's the bridge to rape, which is another bestseller from Volcaz.

00:08:50.000 Visit Detroit! 0.99

00:08:51.000 Suicide is the fastest way, fun fact, to get out of Detroit.

00:08:54.000 So, you know, if you're looking for the bus, just don't. 0.91

00:08:57.000 Suicide's a fast track. It's just much easier to walk into downtown without a bulletproof vest.

00:09:01.000 That's the easiest way to commit suicide. 0.98

00:09:02.000 Hey, by the way, breaking news, it's hashtag lesbian visibility day. 0.98

00:09:07.000 This has been trending all over the place because it's a slow news week.

00:09:10.000 So the pink news, they released their list.

00:09:13.000 About, you know, their lack of visibility for lesbians and how to help them, how to raise visibility in society for lesbians. 0.93

00:09:21.000 And then, of course, some people aren't necessarily as capable at spotting lesbians. 0.89

00:09:26.000 So, you know, let me consolidate the list for you.

00:09:28.000 Simplified version, if she drives a Subaru Outback.

00:09:34.000 Wait, I tried to date a girl who did.

00:09:35.000 If there's more than one bumper sticker, you know she's taken.

00:09:38.000 She's off the market, too. More than one bumper sticker on a Subaru Outback.

00:09:42.000 Also, if she eats at Outback.

00:09:44.000 That's terrible. I'm going to drive my Subi to get Prime.

00:09:46.000 Subi? Yeah. Hey, you know what?

00:09:50.000 Move on, just so you know. Just so you know what a great boss I am.

00:09:52.000 I have been... So I have to shave a lot when we do a lot of these costumes and stuff.

00:09:57.000 So I have to get razors that I can shave quickly and change my hair.

00:10:00.000 And I gave Jared my old trimmer when I got a new trimmer recently.

00:10:04.000 And I was excited about it. And I gave it to him.

00:10:06.000 I was like, hey man, take this as a...

00:10:07.000 It's been a great trusty trimmer to me.

00:10:08.000 And the problem is I didn't realize the new one just totally gnarled up my face.

00:10:12.000 Yeah. And I wanted to ask Jared if I could trade him.

00:10:15.000 The newer, more expensive one, because I have like hairs that grow, if I could trade him.

00:10:19.000 But I felt so, I didn't want to be an Indian giver, that I spent like $150 finding one from another country of the old version. 1.00

00:10:25.000 By the way, they prefer South Asian.

00:10:27.000 Yes, they prefer South Asian.

00:10:28.000 Because you know what it is? It's the titanium blades.

00:10:30.000 They don't do it anymore. Now they're on stainless steel.

00:10:31.000 Well, here's the thing. You better be glad he didn't give it back.

00:10:33.000 He does his manscaping with the one you gave him.

00:10:35.000 I don't care. You don't want that around your lips.

00:10:37.000 It makes such a big difference. It is such a big difference, and it's such a good trimmer, and I made a mistake.

00:10:43.000 I made a mistake, and I regretted it.

00:10:44.000 Hey, a transgender inmate sued a prison to practice, a North Carolina prison, to practice witchcraft. 0.96

00:10:52.000 I'm trying to think of a way to set it up that provides context, and I can't.

00:10:56.000 Jennifer Ann Jasmine, a man, says in her his handwritten federal lawsuit that Lansboro Correctional Institution is blocking the practice of her, his spiritual beliefs, which happen to be rooted in witchcraft.

00:11:10.000 Though some are saying, you know, listen, if you've seen Orange is the New Black, some people try to work the system, and actually there's been a recent special with an interview from some of this transgender's inmates who question the story.

00:11:22.000 Look! I ain't never heard of no damn wicker. 0.92

00:11:25.000 What's that, witchcraft? 1.00

00:11:27.000 Ain't no damn witchcraft, man. 1.00

00:11:28.000 All that damn screaming, abracadabra bullshit. 1.00

00:11:31.000 Pulling your dick out. Yes, all he was doing. 1.00

00:11:34.000 I mean, she was doing.

00:11:36.000 Abracadabra, abracadabra.

00:11:37.000 Oh, look at that.

00:11:39.000 Hey, you a real magician. 1.00

00:11:40.000 Why don't you turn that nice, sweet c**t of yours into some nice, hot, wet c**t? 1.00

00:11:45.000 I need something to f***ing eat sale, man. 1.00

00:11:47.000 Yeah! That's a good idea. 0.87

00:11:49.000 That'd be all kinds of magic.

00:11:51.000 I'm going first. What?

00:11:52.000 I don't know how that'll go over if we use them as inmates, but you know what?

00:11:54.000 They're half-white inmates, so that's okay. 1.00

00:11:56.000 All kinds of magic. There you go. Okay.

00:11:59.000 I would not want to run into them in prison.

00:12:02.000 I don't think they're the kind of guys who you'd ever see in prison.

00:12:05.000 They're more into bitchcraft, anyways. 1.00

00:12:07.000 Yes, they're more into bitchcraft. 1.00

00:12:10.000 They're tough, you know what I mean?

00:12:11.000 A grandfather was jailed after servicing himself in front of his podiatrist.

00:12:17.000 This is a story that comes to us from Salisbury.

00:12:19.000 Where's Salisbury? Send computer.

00:12:21.000 Where is it? Salisbury, Connecticut?

00:12:22.000 I think it's in Britain.

00:12:24.000 It's in Britain. Oh, that's right. It's in Britain.

00:12:26.000 It has to be. Thank you very much.

00:12:27.000 You should know these things and write these things.

00:12:29.000 A grandfather... Who's service himself comes from the Salisbury Journal in front of a podiatrist while she treated his verrucus, I think that's a thing, varicus, and cut his toenails, denied the indecent exposure, but admitted pleasuring himself during a foot health appointment, and it's Dick Morris.

00:12:44.000 Aww. You should have seen that one coming.

00:12:48.000 Why specify grandfather? 0.89

00:12:50.000 That's gross. That's like saying Uncle P.B. Herman serviced himself in a theater.

00:12:54.000 It doesn't matter. Would you have clicked the headline if it weren't a grandfather?

00:12:56.000 Yeah, I know. The grandfather.

00:12:58.000 I don't know. It adds that extra layer of je ne sais quoi.

00:13:02.000 Is that what turns people on sometimes?

00:13:04.000 Oh, she's touching my feet. It's the umami of clickbait. 0.94

00:13:07.000 Hey, by the way, hit the notification bell if you're watching this on YouTube.

00:13:10.000 Oh, Hopper Cam, he's getting up. He decides he wants to leave right now.

00:13:12.000 Right as we're doing it. He's like, screw it.

00:13:14.000 Done. Hit the notification bell because YouTube sucks. 1.00

00:13:17.000 Apparently, by the way, people aren't getting notified even if they hit the notification bell. 0.93

00:13:20.000 Hit the bell. We'll move on with news and talk to Kanye West and kind of explain the whole thing, but a Massachusetts preschool has now banned kids from using the term best friend.

00:13:27.000 This comes from ABC7. After an incident with the four-year-old Julia Hartwell, the school explained to Hartwell that the term best friend can lead other children to feel excluded, and it can ultimately, quote, lead to formation of cliques and outsiders.

00:13:39.000 And the school encourages students to have a wider, quote, group of friends, was explained to the transgender kids from the transgender principal from the girls' bathroom.

00:13:48.000 Yeah. Let's get rid of best friends. 0.96

00:13:52.000 This is the frontier.

00:13:54.000 Let's get rid of the best teachers and best schools and best principals as well.

00:13:57.000 But the fact is, that's why teachers' unions exist. 0.92

00:14:00.000 Is he a good teacher?

00:14:02.000 We don't want him! Just put him in a rubber room, leave him alone! 0.99

00:14:07.000 Truth is, without exclusion, inclusivity, that's the only incentive for kids not to be giant a-holes.

00:14:13.000 It's true. You need a little exclusion.

00:14:15.000 You need a little exclusion. If you're a jerk, it's good for the soul. 1.00

00:14:17.000 Social pressure. Well, you know that very well because you were homeschooled. 1.00

00:14:21.000 But I was not. No, he was.

00:14:22.000 No, he was. And his mom wouldn't breastfeed him.

00:14:24.000 He was stuffed in a locker by his uncle.

00:14:29.000 Ouch! And it was a footlocker.

00:14:31.000 You should sue. With the podiatrist in there going. 0.98

00:14:34.000 It was a private story. So Nebraska, by the way, has finally stopped horsing around from this headline.

00:14:39.000 And it's actually legalizing massage therapy for horses.

00:14:43.000 Equine massage therapy, I believe.

00:14:44.000 Thanks to a newly signed bill, Nebraskans no longer need to license themselves to massage cats or dogs or horses.

00:14:50.000 The bill was actually spurred on.

00:14:52.000 By Karen Hoff, who began massaging horses at her farm in central Nebraska as a way to become financially more stable.

00:14:57.000 After being issued a cease and desist, she was forced to shut her business down. 0.90

00:15:01.000 She then pushed for the new law, which has now just been passed.

00:15:05.000 It's now allowed. Though some suspect ulterior motives at play, given her notorious business partner, Sal the Horse Groper. 0.67

00:15:11.000 People think that he might have been...

00:15:12.000 Impure.

00:15:16.000 I'm confused. People didn't want her to massage horses and cats and... 0.97

00:15:19.000 I guess there's another example of red tape.

00:15:21.000 As long as she's massaging the cat underwater for about 30 minutes, just to make sure.

00:15:25.000 It's more about the horses, let's be honest. Can you picture an Asian massage parlor for horses?

00:15:32.000 I've never seen an Asian on a horse.

00:15:35.000 Have you ever seen an Asian on a horse? 1.00

00:15:36.000 I didn't think about it until today.

00:15:39.000 They don't even need to train to be jockeys.

00:15:41.000 They could just dominate that market.

00:15:43.000 That's true. Just put them on a show horse and let them go.

00:15:46.000 Let them go for it. Awesome.

00:15:47.000 Rip them loose. We're terrible.

00:15:49.000 Nick DiPaolo is definitely not getting his job back.

00:15:51.000 No, no, no. We have Nick DiPaolo and Dave Rubin on today.

00:15:55.000 Who do we have on first, by the way?

00:15:56.000 We have DePaulo on first.

00:15:59.000 We have DePaulo on first. Okay. We're looking forward to having DePaulo on.

00:16:01.000 So, let's talk about Kanye West.

00:16:03.000 Again, the question, what's your opinion?

00:16:04.000 What's your read on the Kanye West situation?

00:16:07.000 For those who don't know, Kanye West threw the media into an uproar as he tweeted out positive things about conservative pundits, and he supported ideas like freedom and thought.

00:16:15.000 These are his unbelievably controversial tweets.

00:16:19.000 Now... Controversial, right?

00:16:23.000 Yeah. One thing, they're a little eager to embrace Kanye as their new thought leader, which I don't think is the best idea.

00:16:31.000 Here's the thing. Think whatever you want.

00:16:33.000 I really don't care.

00:16:35.000 If you like Kanye, we used to use him as our bumps.

00:16:38.000 I think he's a talented emcee.

00:16:40.000 He's not someone I would look to as some kind of a new philosopher.

00:16:43.000 But you know what? I'm glad to see someone making some progress, and I hate to see the pig pile on anyone for making enough progress.

00:16:49.000 I'm a little concerned, though.

00:16:51.000 I swear, the moment that I go in and I'm like, yes, Kanye, a tweet's going to come out and be like, ah, I was kidding, man.

00:16:56.000 Yeah, you never know. Gotcha.

00:16:58.000 One thing that's not a joke is, of course, how the left reacted and lost their mind.

00:17:01.000 So that we know. Let's go to clip A. Kanye has lost his mind.

00:17:06.000 Being in the lobby at Trump's house, I thought that was a cool move.

00:17:08.000 A new game, we're starting here on Friday.

00:17:10.000 Cooning for cash. He's a total and utter moron. 1.00

00:17:16.000 He's one of the dumbest guys in the country. 1.00

00:17:18.000 He's so dumb he's Trumpian in his level of intelligence. 1.00

00:17:21.000 Just understand, buyer beware, Kanye West is a selfish conservative prick. 1.00

00:17:28.000 First off, he's not really... 0.99

00:17:29.000 First off, he shouldn't be... 0.85

00:17:30.000 Do you have any idea how quickly he would go after anyone else for saying buyer beware about a black person? 0.96

00:17:35.000 Yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, buyer beware! 0.90

00:17:37.000 Make him grease.

00:17:39.000 Okay? And he's stupid! 1.00

00:17:41.000 He's Trumpian! Mission, Shank, we are to go after Kanye. 1.00

00:17:44.000 And of course, the media has been calling him a member of the alt-right.

00:17:46.000 That's what's been going on lately.

00:17:48.000 Kanye West is a member of the alt-right.

00:17:50.000 Keep in mind, by the way, they're only mad at him now saying he's...

00:17:52.000 This is the man who said he was the black Jesus. 0.93

00:17:54.000 Yes. Yes. So the fact that he said, oh, you know what?

00:17:57.000 I like what some of these people on Fox News have to say.

00:18:00.000 This is what sends them around over the bend.

00:18:03.000 And you don't, by the way, you don't have to defend everything Kanye's ever done just to see the dog palace taking place.

00:18:08.000 Keep in mind, this is the same guy who did say this. 0.97

00:18:11.000 George Bush doesn't care about black people. 0.84

00:18:15.000 Possibly the greatest reaction in all of live television. 0.99

00:18:18.000 I think what's funny is it doesn't matter how inconsequential you are. 0.99

00:18:21.000 Everyone knows Kanye's a psychopath.

00:18:23.000 Everyone knows, like, this is the same guy who literally married a Kardashian and has interrupted countless Grammys and names his kids after compasses. 0.98

00:18:29.000 Exactly. You don't have to defend even his opinions or whatever he's saying.

00:18:35.000 You just have to defend his right to express his opinion freely.

00:18:38.000 And by the way, and it is brave.

00:18:40.000 I will say there is some bravery at play here. 0.99

00:18:41.000 Because if we want to talk about bravery, slapping on a pair of fake rubber tits while you still have your penis to do a spread for Vanity Fair, that's not brave in 2018. 1.00

00:18:48.000 Coming out of anything other than a far-left progressive is career suicide in Hollywood. 0.99

00:18:53.000 And let's be honest, Kanye, whether you like him or not, Kanye is still a hot-ticket item in the hip-hop community.

00:18:58.000 Yeah. So I do give respect to the guy for going against the grain.

00:19:02.000 Could you imagine, though, if someone more consequential came out?

00:19:04.000 Could you imagine? It's like the left being mad that Roseanne Barr, if she stepped out a lot.

00:19:11.000 Yeah, exactly. They went all afterwards.

00:19:13.000 Well, I gotta say, I bring this up.

00:19:14.000 How many people do you think are in that industry that would have the same views as Kanye, but won't say it because they know they'll just be out of the industry?

00:19:20.000 Right. So maybe this opens the door for a few more people.

00:19:22.000 How much of it is he's just stupid? 1.00

00:19:24.000 Really? It could be on a bender. 1.00

00:19:26.000 Who knows? I don't know. And the point is, I'm not going to condemn any conservatives who want to embrace the guy right away.

00:19:31.000 But I'm not going to condemn people who don't either.

00:19:34.000 I'm certainly not. My opinion hasn't changed to them.

00:19:36.000 I do respect someone willing to take an unpopular position.

00:19:38.000 Now, here's one thing. We'll talk with Nick DiPaolo about this.

00:19:41.000 I do appreciate the lack of apology.

00:19:43.000 Because when you see cases like Shania Twain apologizing for simply saying in an impromptu interview that she may have voted for Trump...

00:19:49.000 It legitimizes the premise that merely voting for Trump is an apology-worthy offense, or Jay Feeley apologizing for taking a picture with a gun.

00:19:57.000 Was that what it was? Yeah, with a prom picture.

00:19:58.000 So when conservatives like, well, conservatives, when people like Kanye don't apologize, it really tips the left hand as seen by their, it tips their hand when you see by their pure vitriolic hatred.

00:20:08.000 Yeah. They didn't ask these people to apologize for racism.

00:20:11.000 Okay, here's one thing all the time. They go, well, can we get an apology?

00:20:13.000 They just asked for an apology for Apu.

00:20:14.000 This is why you don't apologize, unless you genuinely believe that you are wrong.

00:20:19.000 They didn't ask Kanye or Shania or Feely, Freely Feely, to apologize for racism or for sexually inappropriate rants caught on camera.

00:20:27.000 They've asked them to apologize for opinions that, by the way, half the country holds.

00:20:32.000 The half of the country who elects president. 0.97

00:20:34.000 Shoot. And I don't believe for one second that this would be any less controversial if he had simply said he doesn't mind Donald Trump.

00:20:40.000 No. That's the point, too.

00:20:43.000 Neutrality is not an option anymore.

00:20:45.000 So I think it's kind of a good thing in some ways we're seeing that they're so vitriolic.

00:20:49.000 Let's just be all in for Trump or all that, which is kind of cool.

00:20:52.000 And one thing like him or hate him, don't expect Kanye to be apologizing anytime soon, especially if his latest mixtape is any example.

00:20:59.000 La la la la wait till I get my Twitter right Seems like he's rehashing some stuff, but I appreciate it. Yeah, on the way to number one on the bottom list.

00:21:27.000 This has to be expected, though, by the way.

00:21:28.000 You were going to say something, Gerald? Yeah, most of the tweets weren't even—they were just saying he's for free thought and free expression.

00:21:34.000 A few of the tweets said he supported this person and that person, and that was it.

00:21:37.000 But every time people are getting pissed off, it's like, man, I just want my own thoughts.

00:21:39.000 I want to be able to express myself. And they're like, you can't do that!

00:21:42.000 You're on our team! You can't!

00:21:44.000 This is about defending someone's right to express of you whether it's popular or not.

00:21:48.000 Remove what you think of Kanye, and also look how the left attacks anyone who steps out of line.

00:21:52.000 That's what I think is important. So right away, you see Kanye just saying, okay, here's a MAGA hat.

00:21:56.000 I support Donald Trump. You're going to be accused of being a racist.

00:21:59.000 We see it all with people who are moderates, like Sam Harris, Brett Weinstein, who was vilified by students.

00:22:04.000 Just roll the clip. Why are you so hostile about this comment?

00:22:08.000 It's gross. It's racist. 0.96

00:22:10.000 It's not. But it's so not.

00:22:11.000 It's like saying, so not your shifty Jew. 1.00

00:22:14.000 I don't care what happens to Brett anymore. 0.99

00:22:16.000 He can go and be racist and be a piece of wherever he wants to do that.

00:22:20.000 Hopefully, long term, we can just weed out people like Brett.

00:22:24.000 Yeah, just weed out people like Brett, weed out people like Sam Harris, an atheist who endorsed Hillary Clinton, weed out people like Kanye West who was supportive of the Black Panthers, I believe, claimed he was Black Jesus, but now he stepped out in line and supported Trump.

00:22:35.000 Just think of this for a second.

00:22:37.000 Think of what is acceptable to the left in the entertainment industry versus what they find appalling.

00:22:42.000 And by the way, let's look at this objectively.

00:22:43.000 Is it really that crazy for a black person to be fed up with the DNC in 2018?

00:22:48.000 Let's look at this historically.

00:22:49.000 FDR's New Deal cost hundreds of thousands of blacks their jobs because of minimum wage requirements.

00:22:55.000 Remember, LBJ is a great society and increased welfare payments for single mothers and incentivize them. 0.93

00:22:58.000 Some people will argue that it single-handedly started the fatherless household epidemic you see today in the black community.

00:23:03.000 Andrew Breitbart got in so much trouble one time.

00:23:05.000 Remember, he said, I thought black people were better as a family unit under Jim Crow than after LBJ. He didn't say he supported Crow laws.

00:23:13.000 He was talking about the destruction of the family unit in the black community, which is terrible.

00:23:18.000 It absolutely is. They had strong marriage rates.

00:23:20.000 They had a very low divorce rate.

00:23:22.000 And if you look at that, they've been taking the vote for granted from blacks. 0.98

00:23:24.000 You can watch some black. You can watch Alfonso Rachel. 0.88

00:23:27.000 Listen, I get it. I'm a white guy here.

00:23:28.000 You don't necessarily care about what I have to say.

00:23:31.000 But in 1965, 21% of black infants were born to single mothers.

00:23:35.000 In 2016, it's almost 70% are out of wedlock.

00:23:40.000 So maybe there's a reason that people like Killer, Chance the Rapper, and every...

00:23:45.000 I can't get the names right.

00:23:47.000 I know. I'm very white. I think I'm...

00:23:50.000 Is it Killer? No, it's Chance the Rapper and Killer Mike.

00:23:53.000 Killer Mike. No, Killer Mike was the one who stole the microphone from Bernie, I think.

00:23:57.000 Yeah, that's true. I can't keep it.

00:23:58.000 I watch that every morning. Large, angry black men. 1.00

00:24:01.000 Do they run together? Yeah. 0.99

00:24:02.000 A little bit. Kind of like jockeys.

00:24:04.000 They try to run. If we want to talk about more recently, black Americans, they lost a huge amount of wealth due to Obama's housing policies. 0.98

00:24:11.000 Race relations got worse under Barack Obama.

00:24:13.000 Black incomes fell by more than $900 per family adjusted for inflation under President Obama.

00:24:18.000 On the other hand, blacks under President Trump, black unemployment's at record low, their income is high, the tax cuts have helped minorities disproportionately.

00:24:29.000 So let's take away Kanye West, let's take away Killer Mike, let's take away HuffPo, and let's just look objectively.

00:24:35.000 Is it okay for black people to step off the Democratic plantation at this point?

00:24:39.000 Objectively? Your Honor, does it hold water?

00:24:43.000 By the way, not to mention that if people like us who are accused of being racist would have their way, all black Americans would have school choice.

00:24:50.000 They'd have the ability to defend themselves in areas that are rife with gang crime. 0.99

00:24:53.000 We would stop you from killing the black babies. 1.00

00:24:56.000 If you want to talk about racists, if you want to talk about people who are evil, it's usually not the people trying to save black babies and give black children the choice on where to send their kids to school. 0.99

00:25:06.000 Thank you for coming in. Thank you for coming in. 0.95

00:25:08.000 Right on cue. Think about this for a second, okay?

00:25:13.000 When they say you're the bad guys. Well, in general, bad people aren't the ones trying to prevent baby deaths.

00:25:18.000 No, no. But now we say you're the racist.

00:25:20.000 Really? You are a... 0.99

00:25:21.000 When we talk about you, the DNC, the actual...

00:25:24.000 And by the way, people love to do this now, whether it's on YouTube or...

00:25:27.000 I don't believe in labels, man.

00:25:28.000 No, no. We're talking about the labels.

00:25:30.000 Lyndon Johnson, FDR, Planned Parenthood, Hillary Clinton, the Democratic National Committee, Bernie Sanders.

00:25:36.000 Sorry, Bernie bros who switched to Trump.

00:25:38.000 You don't get to escape this one.

00:25:39.000 The label is...

00:25:41.000 DNC. Democrats. That's the label I'm being...

00:25:44.000 I hope I've crystallized it for you.

00:25:46.000 They are the party who set out, said, where are the most amount of blacks? 1.00

00:25:51.000 Let's set up abortion clinics so that we can kill more blacks. 1.00

00:25:55.000 If you're going to accuse people of racism, it's generally not the people going, oh, oh, oh, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. 1.00

00:26:01.000 Maybe we shouldn't be using taxpayer dollars to kill the baby blacks. 1.00

00:26:06.000 Maybe that's why Kanye's had enough. 1.00

00:26:09.000 I'm just saying how I feel, man.

00:26:11.000 I ain't like Bill Cosby.

00:26:13.000 I ain't rape no kids, man. 1.00

00:26:15.000 So what if I support his tax plan?

00:26:18.000 Still banging Kardashian.

00:26:20.000 La, la, la, la, wait till I get my Twitter right.

00:26:26.000 La, la, la, la, then you can't tweak me nothing, right?

00:26:32.000 Excuse me, did you tweet something?

00:26:35.000 Nuh-uh, you can't tweet me nothing.

00:26:38.000 Nuh-uh, you can't tweet me nothing.

00:26:41.000 Ha-ha, you can't tweet me nothing.

00:26:48.000 Not necessarily new content, but I appreciate his zeal.

00:26:58.000 Nick DeFalo coming up next and then Dave Rubin.

00:28:04.000 Like, they permeated the inner cities.

00:28:12.000 And I say this often, but I mean it.

00:28:14.000 I've said this so many times for people who haven't heard him on the show since we've kind of grown quite a bit since the last time he was on the show.

00:28:20.000 I've always said, two people I think are the funniest comedians working, period.

00:28:24.000 Alive. Probably period.

00:28:25.000 Period. When I think about him. Who make me laugh.

00:28:27.000 Norm Macdonald and this guy.

00:28:29.000 I think he is the funniest stand-up comic.

00:28:32.000 Certainly working today.

00:28:33.000 And I know that's a lot of brown-nosing. 0.98

00:28:35.000 He'll give me crap for it when he comes out.

00:28:51.000 DePaulo, did I get those right? Yeah, 8 p.m.

00:28:55.000 Monday night, I'll be doing that.

00:28:56.000 8 p.m. Monday night.

00:28:58.000 Okay, well, and that's your first time back on the YouTube in a while.

00:29:01.000 That's right. First time back, yeah.

00:29:04.000 And what's the reason for this, Nick, going on the YouTube?

00:29:08.000 Well, you know, I'm sure you heard.

00:29:10.000 I... I was canned by serious...

00:29:13.000 I didn't know how to enter and be like, so tell us about the firing.

00:29:19.000 So, I don't know. I tweeted something that didn't sit well with them, apparently.

00:29:26.000 Ironically, it didn't get me in trouble on Twitter.

00:29:29.000 Yeah. And next thing I know, I get a call from my agent and go, I could tell in his voice, we got a problem here.

00:29:37.000 And I go, yeah, we've had this conversation eight times.

00:29:40.000 But, yeah, so...

00:29:41.000 They thought it was a hanging offense.

00:29:43.000 I personally thought, you know, maybe suspension at best.

00:29:47.000 But these are the days we live in.

00:29:49.000 I don't hold any grudges against Sirius.

00:29:51.000 I mean, am I disappointed and a little angry at them right now?

00:29:55.000 Yeah. But they're like any other corporation.

00:29:57.000 They seem to fold under...

00:30:00.000 Pressure. Yeah, I don't understand it, though.

00:30:02.000 They knew what they were getting with Nick DiPaolo.

00:30:03.000 I mean, Nick, your body of work is so extensive.

00:30:06.000 And if you don't, I'm going to read the tweet.

00:30:08.000 We were talking about this off-air when people have done this before we showed up, like, at Illinois. 0.94

00:30:12.000 While we don't agree with everything, Stephen says, well, then shut up.

00:30:14.000 I don't care. I don't need to sit. 0.98

00:30:15.000 And by the way, I don't have any problem with what Nick DiPaolo tweeted out.

00:30:18.000 So his tweet was, we have a Dear Future School Shooters, please confine yourself to college campuses, specifically faculty lounges at Berkeley, Fresno State, etc.

00:30:28.000 That's my Nick DiPaolo impression.

00:30:30.000 That's funny! Where I think I say poorly worded, when I said confine yourself to college campuses, I shouldn't have, you know, that part might have, they're like, You know, I could have left the college campuses out.

00:30:45.000 I could have just said faculty lounges at Berkeley, ba-ba-ba, maybe.

00:30:49.000 Yeah, I think they would have made the inference, Nick.

00:30:52.000 I don't. I don't.

00:30:54.000 We're so hypersensitive.

00:30:56.000 If you read it like that, it dawned on me on the way home, like, 24 hours later.

00:31:01.000 I'm like, that part might have been, well, he's encouraging.

00:31:04.000 We have to get over this mentality that you put a tweet out like that, that means somebody's going to do something.

00:31:10.000 Right. We have to get over that.

00:31:12.000 You make a gay joke, that means a gay guy's gonna get beat up tonight. 1.00

00:31:15.000 Right. We have to get the f*** over that mentality. 1.00

00:31:18.000 Yeah, well, you know, did you just see, we talked about this yesterday, The Simpsons' Hank Azaria apologized for Apu, the character, because I didn't mean for it to ever hurt anyone.

00:31:27.000 I think the most important thing is to listen.

00:31:30.000 Have you always thought that, Nick?

00:31:31.000 The most important thing as a stand-up comedian is to listen?

00:31:37.000 That's our job, to listen.

00:31:38.000 We're psychologists. I'm a stand-up, which means I shoot my mouth off for an hour, and then I do a radio show, I shoot my mouth off for another.

00:31:46.000 What makes you think I even want to listen to anybody?

00:31:50.000 Exactly. I mean, all my jobs involve me controlling the conversation, but when you apologize like that, you're empowering the PC people, are you not?

00:32:01.000 No, that's exactly what I said yesterday.

00:32:02.000 You know what you're doing? You're empowering.

00:32:04.000 Let's think of it as a stand-up room.

00:32:06.000 And you tell me if you agree with this or not, but this is kind of the analogy I use.

00:32:09.000 The rest of the room is laughing.

00:32:11.000 The Simpsons. Immensely successful.

00:32:13.000 People are not offended. HuffPo gets offended.

00:32:15.000 This Indian comedian who claimed to be a comedian made a documentary complaining about it.

00:32:19.000 I don't know who he is. That's a heckler.

00:32:22.000 And you've now given the heckler in the crowd as much legitimacy as the comedian saying, no, no, no, no, no, hold on, hold on.

00:32:27.000 I want to hear why he's booing.

00:32:30.000 He has the right to be heard.

00:32:32.000 I don't think they do.

00:32:33.000 That's how I see it. Not in a comedy club, they don't.

00:32:37.000 They can, you know, they can voice their displeasure on social media or whatever, but yeah, no, absolutely not.

00:32:42.000 Not in the cartoon realm, either.

00:32:45.000 Not in the comedy adult cartoon realm.

00:32:47.000 Why do we care? Right, right.

00:32:49.000 I mean, no, I agree.

00:32:51.000 You empower them with the apology, and I just don't...

00:32:55.000 It's just odd.

00:32:57.000 I didn't really get in trouble on Twitter and...

00:33:02.000 You know, I took it down fairly quickly, so...

00:33:05.000 Oh, that's why. You took it down.

00:33:07.000 I hate to say it, that was your mistake.

00:33:08.000 It's like a T-Rex. Their vision is based on movement, and if you take it down, you're like, oh, oh, what went down?

00:33:13.000 And they go into the time machine, and then they let you have it.

00:33:15.000 Yeah, I guess so, because I still got canned, so I guess if I left it up there, would they hang me?

00:33:21.000 No, I just think they would have been like, oh, okay, that's Nick.

00:33:24.000 You know, I don't know.

00:33:25.000 It's really tough to gauge with those things.

00:33:27.000 Yeah, go ahead.

00:33:29.000 You're right. And here's what makes it a little more complicated.

00:33:32.000 There's a couple of theories.

00:33:33.000 Look, my contract was up in a couple of weeks with them.

00:33:37.000 So there's one theory, like my agent believes, and I just made it easy for them with that tweet.

00:33:44.000 Let's say they didn't want to renew me.

00:33:46.000 I don't think they thought the show was going to get as popular as it did, as quick as it did.

00:33:50.000 It was immensely popular, for people who don't know.

00:33:52.000 I started at 6 p.m., and after a few months, they moved me to 8, which tells me they might have been a little scared right there.

00:33:59.000 It might have been too rough for their style, so they moved me to 8 p.m.

00:34:01.000 Again, this is all speculation on my part, but it sort of makes sense.

00:34:06.000 Either way, whether they fired me because of the tweet or they weren't going to renew me anyways, Because of my politics.

00:34:14.000 Either way, it's because of my...

00:34:16.000 I believe it's because the show was a little too rough for them.

00:34:19.000 Yeah, well, no, I think it's more about your politics.

00:34:22.000 Everyone knows, you know, Nick DiPaolo's rough.

00:34:24.000 That's what I mean. Yeah, your politics.

00:34:25.000 Because here's the deal. I don't think anyone's offended by Dirty, right?

00:34:28.000 The Just for Last. The nasty show.

00:34:30.000 It's the nasty show. 1.00

00:34:31.000 Someone's going to talk about their vagina. 1.00

00:34:32.000 The whole genre. But the second you start talking about some things that make people uncomfortable politically, I mean genuinely politically incorrect, which you do. 0.99

00:34:38.000 I don't want to label you a conservative.

00:34:40.000 I just think you're an anti-authoritarian, brilliant comic.

00:34:43.000 I think that's what they have a problem with more.

00:34:45.000 I don't think they were surprised at the roughness.

00:34:48.000 I think they were surprised at how outspoken you were politically and culturally.

00:34:52.000 That's what bothers them.

00:34:53.000 That's what advertisers shy away from.

00:34:55.000 Well, leaning... I'm leaning right, you mean, with my club.

00:34:58.000 Yeah, I kind of agree with that.

00:35:00.000 Again, I'm not bitter and serious.

00:35:02.000 I don't want to get mad at these. They gave me an opportunity.

00:35:04.000 I'm going to use it as a springboard, this opportunity, because, come on, I'm going to go to work for myself.

00:35:13.000 Even Joe Rogan texted me saying how angry he was.

00:35:17.000 And a few other people.

00:35:19.000 And then he offered you some DMT. It'll open your mind to the possibilities of what you can do.

00:35:27.000 I'd do an Advil PM and I'm screwed up. 0.93

00:35:31.000 I'm scared shitless of that. 0.89

00:35:33.000 I don't know how people do it.

00:35:34.000 I'll never understand that.

00:35:36.000 Yeah, I know. I love Joe, but, you know, when I used to coach jiu-jitsu, I'd have kids come in and they'd come in and they'd go like, yeah, I'm on DMT. I'm like, what?

00:35:45.000 He goes, because Eddie Bravo said that it was better to roll and open your mind.

00:35:48.000 I'm like, oh my God, please don't do that.

00:35:51.000 And then next thing you know, he's being tied up like a pretzel.

00:35:53.000 Someone's breaking his arm. It didn't work!

00:35:55.000 It didn't work! Well, I'm glad Joe reached out.

00:35:58.000 He ends up with a black belt around his neck and his closet.

00:36:01.000 Yes, exactly. It's the David Carradine submission.

00:36:05.000 It's an effective submission. Now, see, I could have gotten fired if I had done that somewhere else, but I can't because I'm on YouTube.

00:36:10.000 So where can people go to watch you on YouTube?

00:36:12.000 It's YouTube.com slash Nick DiPaoloTube.

00:36:16.000 That's correct. Nick DiPaoloTube.

00:36:18.000 And I assume you're also going to be doing it on iTunes and kind of getting it out on different platforms?

00:36:22.000 Yeah. And I don't even know that that's going to be the final resting place of the show.

00:36:26.000 Right. But, you know, Monday night is where I'm...

00:36:31.000 First time I'll be back since this incident with Sirius.

00:36:34.000 I have many options.

00:36:38.000 I don't know that that's going to be the final landing point.

00:36:41.000 There's something called, what is it, Patreon?

00:36:45.000 Yeah. You heard of that? I've heard of Patreon, yeah.

00:36:47.000 I'm not a fan just because there's a bunch of hobos over there. 0.78

00:36:50.000 It's basically like the online place.

00:36:51.000 You have some people with legitimate enterprises and you have hobos with their cup out.

00:36:54.000 Like, hey, I want to do a show where I talk about the subplots of Game of Thrones.

00:36:59.000 Like, get the hell out of here!

00:37:01.000 Oh, is it really a nerd landing spot?

00:37:03.000 Whatever. There is for some, but not for you.

00:37:05.000 I don't know where it's going to end.

00:37:07.000 I would like to, you know, keep it on YouTube or whatever and get it out to my phone.

00:37:11.000 I'm going to treat it just like the radio show.

00:37:13.000 I'm going to do it like, you know, four nights a week and treat it like the radio show.

00:37:18.000 Well, you're a consummate professional.

00:37:19.000 I will say that. You know, listen, you're a comedian, and comedians are typically known for being lazy and waking up, you know, at noon looking for the leftover drugs.

00:37:27.000 Nick is very professional.

00:37:28.000 He always has been. You've always had a love for traditional radio.

00:37:31.000 I've always known that about him.

00:37:32.000 I did that today. I woke up late looking for the drugs.

00:37:33.000 I found my Lipitor. Yes!

00:37:37.000 You saw the Advil PM, it's put it back, put it back.

00:37:39.000 That's for later when we have a party.

00:37:44.000 Nick, where can people see you live here coming up to?

00:37:48.000 Oh, you froze up. Oh, there you go.

00:37:49.000 This is the new media.

00:37:51.000 Yeah, this weekend...

00:37:54.000 I don't know. I'll give it to you right now.

00:37:57.000 I did my homework.

00:37:58.000 I sent you guys all this stuff.

00:38:00.000 I know! Okay, I have it.

00:38:02.000 Nick is right. I have this.

00:38:03.000 That's the name of the comedy tour.

00:38:05.000 And I don't know exactly where, but people can obviously go to...

00:38:08.000 Pottsville, Pennsylvania tonight.

00:38:11.000 I mean, Friday night, excuse me.

00:38:13.000 And the Kirby Center in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania on Saturday night.

00:38:17.000 So nickdip.com slash door for people who want to see all of the dates coming up.

00:38:21.000 But, you know, listen, don't let the bat, I mean, I know, okay, you probably have some friends there, but I think this is a good thing.

00:38:27.000 Nick DiPaolo deserves to be, the audience deserves to hear Nick DiPaolo unfiltered.

00:38:33.000 Unleashed, absolutely. Well, I thought that's what satellite, I guess I'm naive.

00:38:37.000 I thought that was satellite, you know.

00:38:41.000 It was, at one point it was for about 10 minutes.

00:38:44.000 Yeah. Again, I'm not crapping on their product.

00:38:49.000 I'm disappointed. I thought there'd be some more backbone there.

00:38:52.000 Tomorrow night, the Majestic Theater in Pottsville, Pennsylvania.

00:38:55.000 In Pottsville, Pennsylvania. And Saturday night, the Kirby Center in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania.

00:39:00.000 And the next weekend, Jonathan's in Agunquit, Maine, in Schubert Theater, New Haven, Connecticut, on May 5th.

00:39:05.000 The final date of the tour.

00:39:07.000 Pottsville. Now, Pottsville, that's not the name of the town where the pharmacist crushed the eustachian tube and it's a wonderful life of the kid with the pharmacy.

00:39:15.000 Was it Pottersville? I've only seen the porn version of it.

00:39:22.000 Yeah, it's all wonderful in general.

00:39:26.000 No, I can imagine that.

00:39:27.000 I would have thought, I remember at one point when Satellite came out, that's what people thought it was going to be.

00:39:32.000 And I can just picture Nick walking in being disappointed, like, well, I thought it was going to be unfiltered.

00:39:36.000 What, are you putting me neck to Dr.

00:39:37.000 Laura Schlesinger in the Ford Hour of Howard Stern?

00:39:41.000 Wow. Where the producers light their balls on fire? 0.97

00:39:43.000 What am I doing? Like, it really is a weird mix on satellite.

00:39:47.000 Well, you know, it's funny. When they move me to 8 o'clock, the building is empty except for the studio next to me, which is shade 45.

00:39:55.000 It's all these black guys. 1.00

00:39:58.000 Every night, it's a bunch of... 0.92

00:40:00.000 I'd look and there's 14 guys in the studio.

00:40:02.000 They got their mirror glasses on. 0.97

00:40:05.000 There's always some, like, prostitute-looking chick. 1.00

00:40:08.000 I don't know if they're famous or not. 0.98

00:40:11.000 Are they grinding an ottoman? You know, I'd run...

00:40:14.000 I'd go into the...

00:40:15.000 I'd go to use the men's room and surrounded by three black guys with San Jose jersey shirts on.

00:40:20.000 And, you know, I... Did you ever find out what that was?

00:40:26.000 I had no idea.

00:40:27.000 And boy, I'd always look in when I walked by and you'd see 12 heads look at me.

00:40:31.000 Apparently they knew my material.

00:40:34.000 They had this look in their eye like, keep going, Whitey. 1.00

00:40:37.000 Yeah, not so tough now that Patrice ain't here, huh?

00:40:41.000 There you go. A joke about a comedian who died.

00:40:44.000 We'll get in trouble for that one too.

00:40:45.000 Also was really funny, Patrice O'Neill.

00:40:47.000 Patrice is one of my favorites.

00:40:48.000 He was great. And I always wonder what a lot of people like that back then...

00:40:52.000 You never want to talk for someone who's not here, but what they would think about the state of comedy where people are apologizing.

00:40:57.000 Let me ask you this. Final question, because we were talking about this yesterday with the Apu situation, and now Amy Schumer's latest film where she's out talking about how the goal is to empower women while you make a bunch of fat jokes and then at the end say it's okay.

00:41:11.000 Do you genuinely...

00:41:12.000 If you were to look, and you have to grade it, comedy in 2018...

00:41:15.000 It's pretty easy for people.

00:41:17.000 We constantly, our sort of set point is to bitch about the good old days.

00:41:20.000 But do you think that comedy in 2018 is in a worse place than it was 10, 20 years ago?

00:41:28.000 It depends, like, what your act is.

00:41:30.000 I enjoy making people cry.

00:41:35.000 I mean, upset. Not laughing with tears, upset.

00:41:38.000 Right. And I was ahead of the curve.

00:41:41.000 I was making people upset at the Comedy Cellar 10, 15 years ago.

00:41:44.000 But yes, I mean, it's hypersensitive.

00:41:48.000 The problem now, Stephen, I see a lot of these comedy clubs, which I'm not playing right now.

00:41:52.000 These are nice theater venues.

00:41:54.000 But a lot of these comedy clubs now are being run by people who have grown up You know, millennials who have grown up with this PC atmosphere and it's in their DNA. Right.

00:42:03.000 And I hear comics getting in trouble for doing rape jokes at a club or whatever.

00:42:07.000 That's danger. I mean, that's dangerous.

00:42:10.000 So I would say, yeah, but I sort of enjoy going against the grain.

00:42:15.000 I always did. Not intentionally.

00:42:17.000 That was just in my DNA. Right.

00:42:20.000 But I'm not back in the clubs right now, which I will be.

00:42:23.000 I've got to make a living. But I would say, yeah, it's a little – I don't like where it's headed.

00:42:27.000 Well, that's a good point. I remember I talked with Joe Rogan about that, and he didn't agree.

00:42:31.000 And I said, listen, you have a bit of a blind spot, Joe, because you're very successful.

00:42:34.000 I said, you don't understand. It's not just about the audience.

00:42:37.000 It's about the people. It's about the gatekeepers now who aren't going to take that risk on a young Nick DiPaolo today, on a young Stephen – there's no way I could get stage time at an open mic with what we do.

00:42:46.000 There's no possible way I could get started today because the club just isn't going to take the risk.

00:42:51.000 You know, you used to commit rape in a club and it was funny if it was on the right night.

00:42:56.000 No, you could crush and bring in tons of people, but it all takes is one person.

00:42:59.000 All it takes is one person to complain. 1.00

00:43:01.000 One person with one rape whistle and you f***. 1.00

00:43:04.000 Well, a little known fact about rape whistles. 1.00

00:43:06.000 It's actually like a dog. It's actually very high pitched.

00:43:08.000 It just calls more rapists. 0.94

00:43:09.000 So in the end, it's actually one for the rapist. 0.95

00:43:13.000 Put one up on the scoreboard for Cosby.

00:43:16.000 Yeah, so I think to answer your question, I don't like where it's headed.

00:43:21.000 And what makes me sick is when you go online and you read like young comics defending this PC point of view.

00:43:28.000 Well, the guy made a documentary demanding that the Simpsons change Apu.

00:43:32.000 And by the way, did you know this now?

00:43:33.000 You can't say Indian? I just found this out.

00:43:35.000 It's South Asian American.

00:43:37.000 Are you aware of that? No, I'm not.

00:43:40.000 And I will not change.

00:43:42.000 I actually said, you know, who cares?

00:43:47.000 I say Indian when I'm talking about Native Americans.

00:43:51.000 That's when they really get pissed. 0.93

00:43:53.000 Yeah, just stick with Indians? 1.00

00:43:55.000 I want to go on stage.

00:43:57.000 My last show for this tour, I want to ride on stage like the guy does before the Florida State football games.

00:44:03.000 I come in on that pony, I get the headdress on, and I slam that flaming arrow into the stage.

00:44:09.000 There you go, exactly. No, I think you're right.

00:44:11.000 It's got to go viral, won't it?

00:44:12.000 Apparently that's the key to go viral.

00:44:14.000 You know, I have to... I don't know.

00:44:15.000 I throw a puppy into a fireplace.

00:44:17.000 And anything that gets, you know, eyes on you.

00:44:19.000 No, if you throw a cat into a fireplace, you get defended for murder, like Stephen Avery in Making Murder.

00:44:23.000 They glossed over that part.

00:44:25.000 But you have one tweet, like Nick DiPaolo, and you get let go from serious.

00:44:28.000 But I will say this. Your loss is everybody else's gain.

00:44:31.000 YouTube.com slash Nick DiPaoloTube.

00:44:34.000 Please go to NickDip.com slash Tour.

00:44:37.000 And yeah, I agree with them. Just call them Indians and then Orientals. 1.00

00:44:39.000 Let's continue with that. Nick. Please come back sooner.

00:44:41.000 I thought you were cross with me because you weren't on for so long, so I'm glad you're on.

00:44:45.000 No, no, no. Dude, dude, please.

00:44:47.000 I have plenty of people to be legitimately mad about, not you.

00:44:50.000 Well, I know, but you're a touchy-digo. 1.00

00:44:51.000 We never know how it's going to go. I don't like to come on because you're young and good-looking and remind me of me a few years.

00:44:56.000 It kind of bugs me, I can be honest with you.

00:44:58.000 No, you're selling yourself short. I will say this.

00:44:59.000 Nick DiPaolo is a good-looking man for his age.

00:45:02.000 If you saw Nick DiPaolo when he was in his 20s, it was like Elvis Presley.

00:45:06.000 He's about as good-looking as a man has ever walked this earth, Nick DiPaolo.

00:45:10.000 I'm very, very jealous.

00:45:12.000 That's what Patrice said.

00:45:13.000 Yeah, you're a great-looking guy. Okay, Nick DiPaolo.

00:45:15.000 YouTube.com slash Nick DiPaoloTube.

00:45:17.000 And we'll be back after this. Thank you, sir.

00:45:19.000 I'm looking forward to seeing from you.

00:45:20.000 See you, guys. Welcome to Wild at Large, on the Nature Network, narrated by Jasper Pronks.

00:45:45.000 The lion, king of the jungle.

00:45:48.000 An inspiration to many tales both young and old, the lion inspires power and fear in the hearts of those who see it.

00:45:57.000 Here we see the lion in its natural mating habitat.

00:46:01.000 Oh boy, look at that.

00:46:03.000 That lion is hung like...

00:46:05.000 Well, a lion, I guess. 0.99

00:46:08.000 Goddammit, Jasper. What? 0.97

00:46:09.000 What? I'm out-living here. You know, I'm giving it my own spin for the viewer.

00:46:14.000 Stick to the script. You can't talk about lion dicks, Jasper. 0.68

00:46:17.000 Well, that's what I'm saying.

00:46:19.000 Maybe we should change that.

00:46:22.000 Stay tuned for more Wild At Large on The Nature Network, narrated by Jasper Promes.

00:46:49.000 You'd be surprised how effective as a grown man, the two palm shove is.

00:46:53.000 Two palm shove. 1.00

00:46:55.000 Really?

00:46:55.000 Really.

00:46:56.000 Really.

00:46:56.000 We're not supposed to talk about this on air.

00:46:58.000 We're not supposed to talk about my first physical altercation as an adult male, but the person listening knows exactly who they are.

00:47:03.000 Point is, I brought guns to a nunchuck fight, and I won. 1.00

00:47:06.000 You brought guns. I had a switchblade, which was given to me that night as a gift, and I handed it to my father and said, please hold this as I'm about to proceed to kick this man's ass. 1.00

00:47:14.000 And thank goodness Johnny Boyd defused it. 0.99

00:47:17.000 You did. But it doesn't make me feel any less worse about it.

00:47:20.000 I also feel terrible that our next guest, he just keeps bumping and bumping, and he's so in demand, he's so difficult, and now he has the beard because he wants to make himself seem more like a mountain man.

00:47:29.000 I don't know what's going on with him. You know him, Ruben Report, on the Twitter, and of course on the YouTube.

00:47:34.000 Very popular show, Ruben Report.

00:47:36.000 Dave Ruben, how are you, sir? Crowder, what's happening, man?

00:47:39.000 Your hair is shorter on the sides and you kind of have the Not Gay Jared haircut now. 0.96

00:47:43.000 I just got my haircut within the hour.

00:47:47.000 Really? This is a seriously fresh, tight situation.

00:47:51.000 I'm going on tour with Peterson, so I had to get the haircut before we head out of town.

00:47:55.000 Now, what's a tour with Peterson like?

00:47:57.000 What do you do? So this Jordan Peterson guy, I know you are slightly aware of him.

00:48:03.000 I know you did stand-up before.

00:48:05.000 Are you doing stand-up, like introducing him?

00:48:08.000 Yeah, I kind of got two things going on.

00:48:10.000 So with Jordan, I'm opening for him, kind of doing 10-15 minutes of stand-up.

00:48:14.000 Maybe for some of them, we'll do a sit-down together, because the guy's doing about 35 of these, and it's a lot to take in to just talk for two and a half hours.

00:48:21.000 So hopefully I can take some of the burden off him on that.

00:48:25.000 But you will be very proud, and I think you're one of the people that dragged me back into this kicking and screaming.

00:48:30.000 I did my first hour of stand-up about a week and a half ago at the Irvine Improv, sold out, standing ovation, and the manager there said in her 18 years she's never seen a sold out standing ovation.

00:48:42.000 So we just booked DC Improv, Tempe Improv, and I'm just going to be bouncing around.

00:48:46.000 I wasn't the one who dragged you into that.

00:48:48.000 I told you to stay away.

00:48:51.000 Was that what it was? Yeah, it was.

00:48:52.000 I think you're confusing me with your father or your mother or someone.

00:48:56.000 Or perhaps your lover also named Dave.

00:48:59.000 I was incredibly unsupportive.

00:49:01.000 But I'm glad to hear it went well.

00:49:03.000 I assure you that it was not my parents that told me to get back into stand-up.

00:49:09.000 Well, no, listen, I'm glad if you'd have put that in the outline, I could have bragged for you.

00:49:13.000 So that way, you know, it would have been a better interview.

00:49:16.000 I'm like, hey, standing O. But when you're like, I got a standing O. And everyone's like, well, yeah, I bet that's the case when he says it.

00:49:22.000 But I'm glad. So you're doing more stand-up.

00:49:24.000 Normally I wouldn't do that, but I was just, you know, after stepping away, it was my first hour in 10 years.

00:49:30.000 So I'm feeling good.

00:49:31.000 And also, you know, with this Kanye thing, the whole world is upside down right now, and I'm very energized.

00:49:36.000 I couldn't... Here's the thing.

00:49:37.000 We're talking about this. I couldn't care less about Kanye himself, whether people like him or not.

00:49:40.000 He's not a savior. He's not a modern philosopher, as I said on Fox and Friends.

00:49:43.000 For me, it's all about, A, the truth and the reaction from the left.

00:49:47.000 They're asking him to apologize, not for anything racist, not for anything...

00:49:50.000 They're asking him to apologize for supporting Donald Trump...

00:49:53.000 Aren't we vindicated now because we said, don't apologize.

00:49:55.000 It's not about the racism.

00:49:56.000 It's not about the sexism. It's just about anything that you disagree with.

00:50:00.000 Yeah. Well, Crowder, I got to tell you, I'm more of a Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin guy than I am, say, Kanye West guy.

00:50:06.000 I would have guessed Cher, but those work too. 1.00

00:50:09.000 You love those stereotypical jokes!

00:50:11.000 I do. I have never met a lesbian who did not like Melissa Etheridge.

00:50:14.000 I know you don't run in the same circles, but here's, I will say, in my life, I've never met one.

00:50:19.000 They all, every time I walk up, I'm like, hi, I'm Steven.

00:50:21.000 I come to my window!

00:50:24.000 You're like, stop it. What was happening at the window?

00:50:27.000 Did she have a pie? There's a joke.

00:50:30.000 I agree with you.

00:50:33.000 Look, I don't know a ton about Kanye beyond the cultural relevance of Kanye

00:50:37.000 and the George Bush thing, doing Katrina and some of that stuff.

00:50:40.000 I'm not a huge, it's just not my kind of music per se, but some of it's pretty good.

00:50:45.000 David had me play in the one that he did with Daft Punk is pretty cool, okay, whatever.

00:50:51.000 But I actually do think he is a modern day philosopher in that this is someone that, yes,

00:50:56.000 he may not be the greatest philosopher of all time, but he can truly move minds with his words.

00:51:02.000 And for all of us, for whatever little political differences we have,

00:51:05.000 for all of us that for these last couple of years have been banging and banging and banging

00:51:09.000 against this political correct nonsense, this lunacy from the left,

00:51:13.000 this cultural Marxism and collectivism and all that, this is what we needed.

00:51:17.000 Now, we shouldn't be worshiping the guy.

00:51:19.000 I have no idea what his politics are, but he just gave a I'm hearing a lot of we.

00:51:38.000 This doesn't sound like a classical liberal Democrat thing.

00:51:41.000 A lot of we. I don't know what he's talking about.

00:51:44.000 You want freedom? I'm in with you.

00:51:46.000 There you go. Okay, there you go.

00:51:47.000 We. So we're collectivists as it relates to individualism.

00:51:51.000 We're the collective individualists.

00:51:54.000 No, but I understand exactly where you come from.

00:51:56.000 I'm actually a big Kanye West fan.

00:51:57.000 We used to use the last bump before we did the drowning dance, which we'll do here shortly, was, and it's out to the fans to see if they can remember it, It was a Kanye West song every single episode before we went to YouTube because then it was a copyright issue and we had to actually get clearance from Pogo and I think Andrew WK and a few artists.

00:52:13.000 So I've always been a Kanye fan, actually.

00:52:16.000 I've always said he's a dumbass, but he's a brilliant MC and my opinion has not changed at all. 0.98

00:52:20.000 I think he's a dumbass, but I think there are a lot of dumbass liberals and a lot of dumbass conservatives and I think that, you know what, it's a lot more brave. 0.99

00:52:26.000 We just talked about this. For him to come out and say what he said and slap on a pair of fake rubber tits and get on the cover of Vanity Fair. 1.00

00:52:31.000 So good on him for going against the grain. 0.99

00:52:34.000 Of course. And the irony here is that this isn't that you have to be a Trump supporter because you like Kanye or something like that.

00:52:40.000 The point is that the intellectual hostage taking that we all know about, that we've been screaming about, this lunacy that has infected colleges, that has infected the media, that has affected the political establishment, that Trump kind of beat on for these last couple of years, Kanye just opened the door.

00:52:59.000 He opened the door for you to say, you know what?

00:53:01.000 I'm a little different. And maybe that isn't because guys like us are the biggest fan of him, but he speaks to another segment of the population that needed to hear it.

00:53:10.000 And I think that these people on the left, they're followers.

00:53:13.000 And the second they see that it's okay to think a little bit differently, they're going to break in huge numbers. 0.98

00:53:20.000 Yeah, and he might have just opened the door because he has an axe to grind over Barack Obama calling him a jackass. 0.91

00:53:24.000 It could have been as simple and narcissistic as half of Donald Trump's tweets, but if it allows other people... 0.81

00:53:28.000 He really is the brother of Trump, because Trump is the same thing.

00:53:30.000 I think that White House correspondent really set Trump off for the presidency, because he's so...

00:53:35.000 I think you're exactly right.

00:53:37.000 So I'm curious to see what the fallout is from this.

00:53:39.000 I mean, we just had Nick DiPaolo on the show, who was just fired from SiriusXM for a tweet, which was really pretty mild about school shootings.

00:53:44.000 You just saw Hank Azari apologize for a poo on The Simpsons. 1.00

00:53:48.000 I mean, to me, what's so—and then we've got to go.

00:53:50.000 We don't have a ton of time. But to me, the biggest problem is now the left has empowered hecklers.

00:53:55.000 They've said, well, Lon, you have to listen to them just as much if there's one person offended.

00:53:58.000 And they've actually empowered hecklers who are offended from content retroactively 25 years ago, like The Simpsons.

00:54:04.000 What, we're supposed to apologize for something that wasn't allowed?

00:54:07.000 Today? 25 years ago was perfectly...

00:54:09.000 I mean, how can we... There's no possible way anyone can come out unscathed.

00:54:13.000 But this nonsense is coming to an end.

00:54:15.000 You know, Hank Azaria, I went on a little Twitter tirade.

00:54:18.000 I admire this guy.

00:54:19.000 I think he's wickedly talented.

00:54:21.000 He does about 30 voices on The Simpsons.

00:54:23.000 He's probably the greatest voiceover actor of all time.

00:54:27.000 The idea that he would apologize for this character, a character who taught The Simpsons about immigration, who had an Indian wedding.

00:54:35.000 He's one of Homer's crew.

00:54:38.000 He is hardworking. He's everything that's right about America.

00:54:41.000 And that they tricked I don't respect him.

00:54:53.000 I'll tell you why I don't respect him, because a good friend of mine voices many characters in The Simpsons.

00:54:57.000 I've talked about her. I can't use her name because she's been in the closet as a conservative, and she has been chastised by not just Hank Azaria, I forgot his name, the guy in all the Christopher Guest movies, the guy who does Principal Skinner.

00:55:08.000 SNL. Oh, Harry Shearer.

00:55:10.000 Harry Shearer. Harry Shearer. Mr.

00:55:12.000 Elitist Leftist, this woman who is one of the biggest voiceover actors on The Simpsons. 1.00

00:55:17.000 She does so many characters, you go, that's her?

00:55:19.000 That's her? That's her? She has to be quiet because of the Hank Azarias and the Harry Shears chastising her in the studio. 0.84

00:55:24.000 So you know what? Appeasing crocodiles is futile.

00:55:27.000 They've now come for him.

00:55:28.000 Instead of apologizing, he should come out and say, I was wrong, blank.

00:55:33.000 I don't want to use this lady's name. 1.00

00:55:35.000 I was wrong. I'm sorry for doing to you what they're doing to me.

00:55:37.000 And instead, they're trying to toss their lot in to save their career.

00:55:41.000 That's why I have more respect for Kanye West.

00:55:43.000 At least unlike Hank Azaria, he's not apologizing. 0.99

00:55:45.000 And I think Hank Azaria is more talented than Kanye West, but Kanye doesn't give a crap. 0.83

00:55:52.000 For the record, I meant I respect his talent, not his decision here, obviously. 0.76

00:55:57.000 But that's why what I did was I sent a couple tweets out and then I said, Hank, I hope you'll come sit down with me or get him to sit down with you, Crowder, because we can wake these guys up.

00:56:06.000 The mob will never stop.

00:56:08.000 There is nothing you can give them that the mob goes, oh, well, I guess we won and we're gonna move on.

00:56:13.000 No, the mob will destroy everything.

00:56:15.000 And if we let the idea that Apu was somehow a racist character, or the simple fact that Indian Americans are either number one or two at almost every socioeconomic way we can grade things, if we throw that away because of some silly jokes, Really, it takes down the fabric of what America is, really.

00:56:35.000 Let's be clear. Kanye West was asked to apologize for supporting, for maybe opening the door to supporting Donald Trump.

00:56:42.000 The Simpsons were asked to apologize for creating a character who was a legal immigrant and successful business owner.

00:56:50.000 No apologies.

00:56:51.000 As Andrew Breitbart said, apologize for what?

00:56:54.000 The Rubin Report.

00:56:56.000 Rubin Report on Twitter.

00:56:57.000 Good to see you, sir. I know you're busy.

00:56:59.000 We'll have to talk with you soon when we have more time.

00:57:01.000 Crowder, you know how many times I'm going to have to apologize for just appearing with you?

00:57:04.000 Don't apologize. Just tell them to go...

00:57:06.000 Tell... Censor button. 0.98

00:57:08.000 Tell them to go f*** themselves with a wire brush. 0.99

00:57:10.000 I'll see you later, Dave Rubin. 0.99

00:57:12.000 Thank you very much. We have to wrap up this show.

00:57:14.000 Welcome to Wild At Large.

00:57:27.000 On the Nature Network, narrated by Jasper Pronks.

00:57:31.000 The Black Widow, the mere name strikes fear in those of all who hear it.

00:57:37.000 An oft misunderstood and one of nature's most dangerous creatures, the Black Widow finds itself in the exclusive position of being one of the few species where the female picks her male mate.

00:57:48.000 As you see here, the heated dance of sexuality is one of nature's most cruel tricks. 0.56

00:57:55.000 Unlike most animals or insects, the Black Widow is the one who takes firm control Of the sexual direction picking her male mate. 0.93

00:58:03.000 And as you see here, amidst actual copulation, she begins to devour her male mate.

00:58:10.000 I tell you what, it doesn't sound all that different from my ex-wife.

00:58:14.000 Cuts! Damn it, Jasper! 1.00

00:58:16.000 Stay tuned for more Wild at Large on the Nature Network. 0.99

00:58:20.000 Narrated by Jasper Prontz.

00:58:22.000 This is a video of the first part of the series.

00:59:11.000 Your face is really red.

00:59:12.000 My face is really red. Really good.

00:59:13.000 I actually didn't get my breath that time because, by the way, thank you to Dave Rubin for being on the show.

00:59:18.000 Lovely little Sprite. Always, always...

00:59:22.000 It's been like breathing through a straw this entire week.

00:59:26.000 So for people who don't know, it was actually the first time we've ever missed a show just because I was so sick.

00:59:32.000 Tuesday. It's true. We've missed shows before because we've had technical difficulties where it's like, listen, I just can't make it there on time.

00:59:38.000 That was my first sick day.

00:59:40.000 Sick, sick, sick, sick day in the history of the show.

00:59:42.000 Turns out I have a sinus infection and a bronchial infection.

00:59:46.000 Sounds like code for super-AIDS. No, it sounds like super-AIDS. And I've been drinking the probiotics and stuff like it's going out of style because apparently, you know, when you take the...

00:59:53.000 I haven't had antibiotics in like...

00:59:55.000 Years. Yeah. So apparently when you take antibiotics, you've got to replace the bad bacteria with the good bacteria.

01:00:00.000 I can tell from experience. It's not pleasant if you don't...

01:00:03.000 It's very bad.

01:00:05.000 But it tastes like something...

01:00:06.000 You know what it tastes like? Remember in The Wizard of Oz where the tin man couldn't move and they oiled him?

01:00:11.000 It tastes like what he would excrete after you oiled him.

01:00:15.000 Why aren't you familiar with that?

01:00:16.000 I'm not familiar with it. It's a guess.

01:00:20.000 Remember just how much I paid to import this from an ungodly country so you could keep the better trimmer.

01:00:25.000 You had a point, though, during the break that actually was a really good point.

01:00:28.000 My point was, with the Kanye thing, something that really bothers me is people like to...

01:00:32.000 HuffPo and Salon and Slade, they like to go off about... 0.98

01:00:35.000 Toxic masculinity, toxic whiteness, toxic white privilege. 0.99

01:00:39.000 I mean, they go on and on and on. 0.95

01:00:41.000 And something I think is far more toxic people don't talk about for the country is this idea, the left's idea of totalitarianism in all things.

01:00:49.000 Well, no, hold on. I would rephrase it.

01:00:50.000 Not the left's idea. It's totalitarianism that the left doesn't realize it's an idea.

01:00:53.000 Yeah, it doesn't even realize. Right.

01:00:54.000 It does not realize it's an idea, but they have no room for anybody to step outside the box, which I think is so harming to people.

01:01:01.000 That's why you have these situations where Kanye's like, well, all in then.

01:01:05.000 Yeah, big Trump, MAGA. The only thing to think is toxic is toxicity itself.

01:01:10.000 Yeah. And then that Armenian going, that toxicity of our city, of our city! 1.00

01:01:15.000 I cannot believe that System of a Down ever actually was a ban.

01:01:19.000 Do you think Chink's just mad at Kanye because he can't mow down his wife for being Armenian? 1.00

01:01:23.000 Wow.

01:01:24.000 Well, I do.

01:01:25.000 I'd pay a nickel to see that cat fight between Anna Kasparian and Kim Kardashian. 1.00

01:01:35.000 Thank you.

01:01:36.000 Maybe like when Yokozuna used to do the reishi butt flop and then Goldust was just making out with men. 1.00

01:01:43.000 Hey, you want us to just hold hands and snorkel copper ass? 1.00

01:01:45.000 Yeah, let's do that. Let's bring this country back together. 0.99

01:01:47.000 No, you can't. It's not off the ass off the hip bones. 0.99

01:01:49.000 It needs to be a stable surface. A lot of people get that wrong. 0.83

01:01:51.000 Hey, we have some pretty big videos coming up for you pretty soon.

01:01:56.000 By the way, tomorrow we're going to have a review on The Avengers.

01:01:58.000 Yeah. On The Avengers, which I'm not looking forward to seeing.

01:02:01.000 I'm looking forward to seeing with you because you're a miserable superhero movie fan.

01:02:05.000 No, I'm not. Here's the thing. 0.93

01:02:06.000 I have certain superhero movies that I really like.

01:02:08.000 Logan I liked. I actually liked X-Men First Class.

01:02:11.000 Deadpool I loved. The Dark Knight series I really liked.

01:02:14.000 And if you're going to go to more like a popcorn family friendly, I think Spider-Man 2 with Alfred Molina as Doc Octopus.

01:02:18.000 That was great. That was fantastic. The new Spider-Man's...

01:02:21.000 Oh, well... The new Spider-Mans, because then they did it with Garfield.

01:02:24.000 Those weren't good. Then the newest Spider-Man was not very good.

01:02:27.000 I thought he in them was pretty good.

01:02:29.000 I thought he was a good Peter Parker Spider-Man.

01:02:30.000 Yeah, he was fine. But it's just the overall writing and kind of...

01:02:32.000 I'm just tired and done with CGI monster villains.

01:02:36.000 I think that's one thing that made certain films...

01:02:38.000 We can talk about this more tomorrow. Some films like Christopher Nolan's much more...

01:02:41.000 They care just so much about the villain...

01:02:43.000 If you go to Chicago or Pittsburgh, you can go, oh, that's where they flip the truck.

01:02:47.000 Yeah, exactly. No, I do have a lot of respect.

01:02:49.000 I think Nolan is a bit gimmicky, but I do have a lot of respect for the one he's in.

01:02:51.000 So hopefully, listen, you can come back and check on our review on The Avengers.

01:02:55.000 A lot of people have been asking for more film reviews.

01:02:57.000 They find them pretty helpful.

01:02:58.000 I know a lot of people are upset at the lack of diversity in the Marvel films right now.

01:03:03.000 We don't care. So, you know, I think it's a really good point, though, that you brought up, not gay, Jared. 1.00

01:03:08.000 White privilege. Masculine. 0.97

01:03:12.000 Now I'm losing the term. Toxic masculinity. 0.94

01:03:15.000 What's toxic is totalitarianism. 0.72

01:03:18.000 What's toxic is finding a guy because his dog did a Nazi salute.

01:03:22.000 What's toxic is putting a guy before Human Rights Tribunal because he's a comedian and he made a joke.

01:03:27.000 What's toxic is ruining sitcoms and making them apologize for Apu, a stereotype which is uniquely pro-American in a realm of shows that don't have a lot of pro-American foreign stereotypes.

01:03:38.000 That really is what's toxic.

01:03:39.000 What's toxic is people telling you how to think and what to think.

01:03:44.000 And you know what? We almost did it.

01:03:45.000 If you go back, that's why I said, you know what?

01:03:47.000 Think whatever you want. Because I don't want people to take what I'm saying and feel as though you have to think that way.

01:03:51.000 I think Kanye's kind of a jackass. 0.98

01:03:54.000 I haven't necessarily bought in. I think he might be doing this because Barack Obama called him a jackass and he's been seething on that. 0.99

01:04:00.000 I don't think Kanye is necessarily someone who should be the arbiter of anything. 0.87

01:04:03.000 Anything political. But I hate to see someone get jumped on.

01:04:08.000 And I'm not going to tell you what you should think about Kanye West.

01:04:11.000 If you want to embrace him, if you think, let's give this guy a chance because we need everyone we can get.

01:04:15.000 We really only had Heidi Montag and Scott Baio.

01:04:17.000 We'll take a Kanye West. Go ahead.

01:04:19.000 Go for it. And if you say, hey, I'm going to hold him at arm's length, that's fine.

01:04:23.000 Go for it, too. I just think it's important to recognize what's happening.

01:04:26.000 And I think more important sometimes than what someone says, a lot of people get caught up in whether they like the person or not.

01:04:31.000 Yeah, it's true.

01:04:32.000 That's irrelevant.

01:04:33.000 Kind of like when we did these shows at Illinois.

01:04:36.000 I love that the SMU Republicans, because they didn't care.

01:04:39.000 They were just amazing.

01:04:40.000 Probably the best group we've ever worked with.

01:04:42.000 But in Illinois, right when people start protesting, they go,

01:04:44.000 well, and we don't agree with everything Stephen says, first off, shut up.

01:04:48.000 Okay? 0.54

01:04:49.000 Because if you're bringing the Loud Earth Clowder show in, you brought us in.

01:04:52.000 You're already in it now.

01:04:53.000 Apologizing is futile.

01:04:54.000 We saw it because Shania Twain apologized as a Canadian for saying she might have voted for Trump.

01:04:59.000 So you don't need to do that.

01:05:01.000 You don't need to say, well, we don't agree with, okay, let's remove this aspect of it.

01:05:05.000 Let's remove the person. Maybe you don't like me.

01:05:07.000 Maybe you don't like Naki Jen. Maybe I don't like Kanye West as a person.

01:05:10.000 But you can remove that.

01:05:12.000 Your personal support or disdain, by the way, it applies to hero worship.

01:05:16.000 Same thing with President Donald Trump.

01:05:17.000 And look at how people are treating that person or look at the reaction from society at large. 0.63

01:05:22.000 And when people try to tell you that this is how you need to think or this is how you need to react, the real reason they are asking Kanye West to apologize is because he's black. 0.60

01:05:32.000 It's because he's black and he needs to think a certain way. 1.00

01:05:35.000 What could possibly be more toxic in 2018 than telling a black man, you have to think and speak this way, otherwise we're going to revoke your black card. 0.99

01:05:47.000 Seriously. Yeah, they didn't even care about Kid Rock as much. 0.88

01:05:51.000 No, they don't. And that's why when we talk, we always come back to this, and I know Ben Shapiro talks about it as well.

01:05:55.000 That's why we've seen so many stars in both the left and right movement rise and fall, because it's just based on the controversy.

01:06:02.000 And we could go after the controversy right now and say, Kanye West, yes, absolutely.

01:06:06.000 We're 100% behind him, but we're not.

01:06:07.000 We could have gone and said... We wish we had better representatives in Hollywood.

01:06:09.000 Yes, we wish we had better representatives. We could have gone in and said, Donald Trump, he's the second coming of Christ slash Reagan.

01:06:16.000 But we didn't. We were honest about it because at the end of the day, being truthful is more valuable.

01:06:22.000 You know, sometimes this week we had a week where a couple of people said, you know, I feel like you're not as passionate about some of these topics because there was a lot of comedy this week.

01:06:30.000 First off, I was at Death's Door.

01:06:32.000 Secondly, I didn't really care.

01:06:34.000 So I'm honest with you. If you see me get pissed about something, if you see me get passionate about something, that's because it's truthful.

01:06:40.000 I don't want to line something up on the prompter and tell you how it's going to be because I need to do a rant on my Facebook page every day.

01:06:46.000 The truth, I believe, is important.

01:06:48.000 And I think comedy is a great way to tell the truth.

01:06:50.000 It's a great way. Phyllis Diller said it's a rubber-tipped sword.

01:06:53.000 It's a way to make a point without drawing blood.

01:06:55.000 And the truth right now doesn't center around how you personally feel about someone like a Kanye West.

01:07:01.000 It doesn't center around how you personally feel about Shania Twain.

01:07:04.000 It doesn't center around how you personally feel about Feely with a picture of a gun.

01:07:07.000 It doesn't center around how you personally feel about Donald Trump.

01:07:10.000 The truth is something that needs to be removed regardless of circumstance, regardless of the personality attached to that situation.

01:07:17.000 We've been dealing with that this week.

01:07:19.000 Sometimes it's down like, well, this story doesn't really matter that much.

01:07:22.000 And we can It doesn't matter. If you're watching this show, there's some truth.

01:07:26.000 Hopper is not on drugs.

01:07:27.000 That's the truth. Hopper Squirrel! Hold on, let's see.

01:07:29.000 Hopper Squirrel! There you go.

01:07:30.000 See, a lot of people think he's dead. He's not dead.

01:07:32.000 I know if they sound like a broken record, truth matters so much more than trying to score points.

01:07:37.000 And I see people jumping sides to Kanye, and they could be embarrassed.

01:07:42.000 And I see some people making fun of Kanye, and they could be embarrassed.

01:07:46.000 Just like we saw it with a lot of other conservative firebrands, remember? 0.98

01:07:50.000 Where people just jumped and, oh, this is a black conservative who's, oh, this is a 14-year-old conservative who's for us, and they screw you. 0.98

01:07:56.000 Guess what? If you say, hey, I like what this kid said in this instance. 0.97

01:07:59.000 Or if you say, hey, you know what?

01:08:00.000 I like what Kanye said here.

01:08:02.000 Hey, you know what? I find it really reprehensible how people are treating him here without saying, I'm all in for Kanye in a foam finger.

01:08:08.000 Guess what? You save yourself a lot of embarrassment down the road.

01:08:11.000 And guess what? And you don't have to apologize.

01:08:13.000 That's another thing. In a world where everyone demands apologies, that's somewhere I'd like to see some more truth.

01:08:17.000 And that's why I appreciate Nick DiPaolo.

01:08:19.000 Like I said, remember this.

01:08:20.000 They will ask you to apologize for anything.

01:08:23.000 So the next time you see a story where they say, well, he needs to apologize, it was out of line, it did seem a little bit racist.

01:08:28.000 They're not asking these people to apologize for racism, for sexism, for homophobia.

01:08:32.000 They're asking Kanye West to apologize for posting a MAGA hat.

01:08:35.000 They're asking Shania Twain to apologize for saying she'd vote for Donald Trump.

01:08:39.000 And by the way, I don't even necessarily know that I agree or disagree with these statements.

01:08:43.000 So when people apologize, they come out or Hank Azaria says, I'm sorry about it, boo.

01:08:47.000 He's not sorry about it, boo.

01:08:48.000 Guess what? You and I both know Shania Twain is probably not that sorry that she said in an impromptu interview, well, I guess I would have voted for Donald Trump.

01:08:56.000 So I do respect Kanye West for not apologizing.

01:08:58.000 I do respect Nick DiPaolo for not apologizing.

01:09:01.000 I tell my wife this all the time.

01:09:02.000 If I apologized just so that I could not have to sleep on the couch, which doesn't happen.

01:09:06.000 I'm a grown-ass man. I don't go and sleep on the couch.

01:09:08.000 If I have a king-sized bed, I just skitch over one foot.

01:09:09.000 But I always tell my wife, you would not appreciate me.

01:09:12.000 You would not respect me. And the apologies would be meaningless if you knew they were untruthful.

01:09:17.000 So let's be truthful in how we handle the news and how we disseminate the news and how outraged we get about the news.

01:09:22.000 And let's be truthful with our apologies.

01:09:24.000 No more apology tours because I don't even know what apologies are true.

01:09:28.000 So if you hear an apology from me or from Not Gay Jared, then you know it must be really bad.

01:09:34.000 We'll see you next week.
