00:00:00.000 Thanks for watching! Please subscribe!

00:00:13.000 Yeah, mine too!

00:00:14.000 Yeah, mine as well!

00:00:15.000 Mine too!

00:00:15.000 Also bringing in some legal consultants from some high-profile firms in Silicon Valley.

00:00:20.000 I didn't agree to that.

00:00:20.000 Only 24 hours!

00:00:24.000 24 hours?

00:00:26.000 24 hours is like three weeks!

00:00:29.000 I don't know what I'm doing.

00:00:31.000 I don't know what I'm doing.

00:00:33.000 I don't know me.

00:00:50.000 Y'all know how I earn a living.

00:00:55.000 I'll catch this broad for you, but it ain't gonna be easy. 1.00

00:00:57.000 It's a bad bitch. 1.00

00:01:00.000 Not like going down to social media and chasing down Jack Dorsey's or Zuckerberg's. 0.99

00:01:06.000 Now this is what's risky.

00:01:08.000 Just swallow your channels whole.

00:01:10.000 Restrictions, demonetizations, and down you go.

00:01:14.000 Now we gotta do it quick.

00:01:18.000 Gotta bring back all your rightful subscribers and convert them to mug clubbers on a pay-in basis.

00:01:24.000 But it's not gonna be pleasant.

00:01:26.000 I value my channel a whole lot more than three thousand bucks, Chief.

00:01:30.000 I'll find her for three. 0.69

00:01:33.000 But I'll bring my half-Asian lawyer and sue her for ten. 1.00

00:01:39.000 Now you gotta make up your minds.

00:01:40.000 You wanna keep your channels alive and any up?

00:01:44.000 You wanna play it cheap?

00:01:45.000 You'll be on Minds.com and Gab the whole winter.

00:01:48.000 I don't want no GoFundMes.

00:01:49.000 I don't want no Patreons. 1.00

00:01:51.000 There are too many damn whiny conservatives on this platform. 0.99

00:01:56.000 $10,000 for me and my half-Asian lawyer, Bill Richmond, by ourselves. 1.00

00:02:01.000 For that, you get the head, the schnoz, the whole damn thing. 0.97

00:02:09.000 Thank you very much, YouTube Quint. 0.97

00:02:12.000 We'll take it on advisement.

00:02:19.000 Mr. Mayor.

00:02:20.000 Chief.

00:02:22.000 Ladies and Z's.

00:02:24.000 I'm sorry.

00:02:40.000 Louder with Crowder Studios.

00:02:44.000 Protected exclusively by Walther.

00:02:46.000 And Hopper.

00:02:51.000 That's called the evil villain who can't contain himself.

00:03:21.000 because this plot is so evil.

00:03:23.000 Aww.

00:03:24.000 He is good.

00:03:25.000 I want to be common collected, but it's difficult.

00:03:28.000 I want to take over the world.

00:03:29.000 Because this show is amazing today.

00:03:30.000 We have Daniel Cormier.

00:03:31.000 Yes!

00:03:32.000 One of the best athletes on the face of the planet right now.

00:03:35.000 You could argue someone else, but it'd be pretty hard as far as accomplishments.

00:03:38.000 We have Gavin McGinnis on the show.

00:03:39.000 Wow.

00:03:40.000 Potentially future Senator Richard Payne on the show.

00:03:43.000 Well, hello.

00:03:44.000 And a Mug Club film review and Dennis Rodman.

00:03:47.000 Before we move on with the show, question of the day, because we're going to be kind of roasting a sacred cow today, public school teachers.

00:03:54.000 Can you name me how many teachers you've had in your life who've had a net positive impact on your life?

00:04:01.000 Add them all up.

00:04:02.000 How many stand out?

00:04:03.000 Because that's one thing I think a lot of us don't talk about when we're talking about the teacher, sort of the dialogue, the national conversation.

00:04:08.000 Hold on a second.

00:04:10.000 What should matter most is how many teachers have really helped you, and I can count them One hand, yes.

00:04:16.000 They taught you that.

00:04:17.000 Spoiler, it's four.

00:04:18.000 So we'll be talking about that.

00:04:18.000 Four.

00:04:18.000 It's four.

00:04:20.000 Producing with me in video studio as always is Jared, who is not gay. 0.97

00:04:22.000 Follow him on Twitter at notgayjared.

00:04:23.000 Meet us, Crowder, with your comments, your thoughts, your photoshops.

00:04:26.000 By the way, we're going to have an art contest.

00:04:28.000 Send them in.

00:04:29.000 I fulfill my legal obligations.

00:04:30.000 What are your conclusions?

00:04:31.000 We good?

00:04:31.000 I won't be judging because I'm not gay.

00:04:33.000 I don't know what that has to do with anything. 0.66

00:04:34.000 That was a horrible stereotype.

00:04:36.000 G. Morgan Jr.

00:04:37.000 at G. Morgan Jr., how are you?

00:04:38.000 I'm doing well, sir, and in the spirit of summertime, Cakebread Seller's Sauvignon Blanc.

00:04:42.000 Really, the reason you brought it in is because you got a discount because the season's over.

00:04:42.000 Oh, wow.

00:04:45.000 Just like back-to-school sales, he does that with liquor.

00:04:48.000 And how are you at Sven Computer?

00:04:50.000 I'm good, peep-peep.

00:04:51.000 I'm ready with the overlays, and yeah.

00:04:54.000 You can send me... I just realized, I plugged you, and then you plugged you, and then that means I have to fire you.

00:05:03.000 That means there can be no Sven Compute.

00:05:07.000 Other news to get to.

00:05:08.000 We're going to be talking, obviously, about Donald Trump and Russia.

00:05:10.000 That's the main story of the day.

00:05:12.000 But first, more important, Dennis Rodman has invited Kanye West to North Korea to create songs for leaders of love.

00:05:20.000 Here's the actual video he tweeted to Kanye West in its entirety, because you deserve it.

00:05:25.000 What's up, Kanye?

00:05:26.000 It's D-Rod here, man.

00:05:27.000 Over here in, you know, Newport Beach, man.

00:05:30.000 Thanks a lot for that shout-out, man, with the jersey, man.

00:05:33.000 Lovely work, lovely style.

00:05:35.000 Love your wife.

00:05:36.000 You kids are beautiful.

00:05:37.000 Hey, man.

00:05:39.000 I thought about something.

00:05:40.000 Let's me and you do a track together, man, about world peace and about leaders of love, baby.

00:05:44.000 About leaders of love.

00:05:46.000 You're one.

00:05:47.000 I'm one.

00:05:48.000 Let's get together, baby, and do this right.

00:05:50.000 I don't, okay, I don't know what, first off, talk about coattailing.

00:05:54.000 Hey Kanye West, let's do a track together, because I think we're equals.

00:05:59.000 I'd be lying if I wasn't a little bit resentful that these are our representative celebrities.

00:06:05.000 It'd be like Kanye picking Trotman for Streetball, but naming himself Captain.

00:06:09.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:06:10.000 I kind of want to see that, though.

00:06:11.000 I want to see them team up.

00:06:12.000 Well, you have to appreciate his passion.

00:06:14.000 Was it just weird to you that he seemed to really like Kanye's wife?

00:06:17.000 He took, like, a little pause there, like, and your wife.

00:06:19.000 No, I mean, he really likes Kanye's wife.

00:06:23.000 See the next video he released.

00:06:24.000 Hey Kanye, man, thanks again for the shoutout.

00:06:26.000 You make me so happy.

00:06:28.000 And I wanted to follow up.

00:06:28.000 I love you so much, man.

00:06:29.000 And you're the man.

00:06:31.000 And I love your wife, man.

00:06:32.000 And I was thinking this song, man, we could do a music video.

00:06:34.000 That would make me so happy, man.

00:06:36.000 And you could be in it, and me, and Kim Jong, and Kim, your wife.

00:06:39.000 And, oh, that'd make me so happy, man.

00:06:41.000 We could have your wife dancing, like, in that video. 1.00

00:06:44.000 Like, in the video with the motorcycle.

00:06:46.000 And I think it'd be great for the American.

00:06:48.000 Wow.

00:06:51.000 And I'd love to have it man on the motorcycle. So she'd be backwards on that motorcycle though cuz me and her 1.00

00:06:55.000 Wow, yeah, we have two whole black guys on our side and I still feel really uncool 1.00

00:07:02.000 Yes, pretty much.

00:07:03.000 I don't know how they do it.

00:07:04.000 Two, and if you end that up with the person who does the rants on Facebook and carry the one, two and a half.

00:07:09.000 Two and a half, there you go.

00:07:09.000 Two and a half.

00:07:11.000 Another story, four Alabama police officers have now been suspended for making a hand gesture.

00:07:17.000 This comes from a local ABC.

00:07:19.000 In the Jasper Police Department, they were suspended for making a hand gesture while posing for a photo.

00:07:23.000 They did this little thing.

00:07:24.000 Some people claim the circular gesture was racist, according to the city's mayor.

00:07:28.000 And here's something else, too.

00:07:29.000 There was also some speculation the gesture is actually part of a children's game.

00:07:32.000 Did you ever play this?

00:07:33.000 Yeah, of course. 0.95

00:07:34.000 You get to hit them. 0.99

00:07:35.000 Yeah. 0.99

00:07:35.000 There's a wall of them. 0.99

00:07:36.000 It's fun.

00:07:37.000 So it's not really that surprising, given the other games the department banned, including Rock, Paper, Scissors, Red Rover, and Duck, Duck, Jew, because of the diversity they've had. 0.98

00:07:46.000 And it turns out, by the way, people have been suspended for hand gestures before.

00:07:51.000 It's pretty common.

00:07:53.000 Harvey Weinstein at last year's Hunger Games premiere.

00:07:55.000 That didn't go over very well.

00:07:57.000 Nor Bill O'Reilly's new show.

00:07:59.000 But really, it's not a hand gesture.

00:08:01.000 It's like yelling fire in a crowded theater.

00:08:04.000 It's more the action that goes with it.

00:08:06.000 Here's the thing, best case scenario, if they really were fired for a white power, as they call it in the article, a white power gesture, the Black Power Fizz is literally part of the Twitter-branded Black Lives Matter hashtag. 0.72

00:08:18.000 So, I don't want to be the guy who points out blatant hypocrisy, but I kind of want to be the guy who points out blatant hypocrisy. 0.76

00:08:21.000 Well, I do think there's a different connotation with black power and white power. 0.80

00:08:24.000 Is there, though?

00:08:26.000 A shade.

00:08:26.000 So, uh, this land whale, and I say this, we have to, cause some, this person in a bikini

00:08:35.000 walked down the streets of New York to prove a point from Cosmo and O'Brien.

00:08:38.000 We need a trigger warning.

00:08:40.000 And what's, what's funny, she said she was expecting to be quote fat shamed, instead

00:08:45.000 people were actually into it. 0.98

00:08:48.000 Shouting things like, I want to suck on them tasty toes, and quote from the article, let 0.95

00:08:54.000 Let me butter them biscuits. 0.99

00:08:56.000 And by the way, it gets so much worse.

00:08:58.000 But if you read the article, in the man's defense, he was actually yelling at the Popeyes across the street, which when you take into context where Anna immediately went afterwards to the family meal and two Diet Cokes.

00:09:09.000 Makes a lot more sense now, actually, to me.

00:09:11.000 Big Pharma actually suppresses the fact that two Diet Cokes actually cancels out the carbs.

00:09:15.000 Yes.

00:09:15.000 Oh yeah, that is true.

00:09:16.000 Yeah, it is.

00:09:16.000 In our body.

00:09:17.000 It's science.

00:09:18.000 True science.

00:09:19.000 She said, I was prepared to be pointed at, shamed, I didn't expect to be fetishized.

00:09:23.000 Oh my gosh.

00:09:24.000 Just count your lucky stars that somebody was into it, alright?

00:09:26.000 Well, she's also being disingenuous, because given that she sought out and performed said stunt at the corner of Martin Luther King Jr.

00:09:31.000 and Malcolm X Boulevard, PolitiFact actually rated her statement, a size 25 pants on fire.

00:09:36.000 So that didn't go over well.

00:09:38.000 Here's something else too, a lot of people, listen, there's a huge difference, we're talking about this, between fat pride and slightly overweight women. 1.00

00:09:44.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:09:45.000 This comes off the, I had just, there's no good way, I watched I Feel Pretty with Amy Schumer.

00:09:51.000 Bad decision.

00:09:51.000 My wife said let's just watch it, it's a long night.

00:09:53.000 Eating ice cream too.

00:09:54.000 No, I just, anyway, it's as bad as you would think. 0.99

00:09:56.000 You are such a masochist.

00:09:57.000 I actually didn't think, I thought she could be, I've always said she was funny at one point. 0.59

00:10:01.000 I know I'm in the minority, I don't hate her, I think she was very funny, just not anymore.

00:10:06.000 So one note.

00:10:07.000 But I'm sitting there talking with my wife going, listen, every single other woman, including the extras, they're all attractive. 1.00

00:10:13.000 The only one who's not is Amy Schumer.

00:10:14.000 Men don't expect you to be perfect.

00:10:16.000 So don't think that when we point out someone who's a size 25 saying, this is perfect, this is beautiful, no, hold on a second.

00:10:22.000 It's fine to be big, skinny, tall, short, not perfect.

00:10:26.000 Once you say you're perfect, the grace level goes out the window a little bit.

00:10:29.000 I'm accidentally vicariously living the movie through your show, and I don't like it.

00:10:36.000 I feel suicidal.

00:10:37.000 You rated it four stars in his head?

00:10:38.000 No, that's what we were saying, and you said it happens on both ends, actually, and one's very acceptable, and one is not.

00:10:43.000 So we're not making fun of this girl at all.

00:10:45.000 What we're saying is... I am.

00:10:46.000 A little bit.

00:10:47.000 Well, hold on.

00:10:47.000 No, no, no.

00:10:48.000 Not as a person.

00:10:49.000 When she goes out in public, poses in a bikini, and people actually are into it, and she said that creeped her out more than being fat-shamed?

00:10:56.000 What's the point?

00:10:56.000 What do you want?

00:10:57.000 We can't win!

00:10:58.000 These guys want to butter the baskets! 0.99

00:11:00.000 Like, come on!

00:11:01.000 What's the middle ground?

00:11:04.000 If I walk the streets, I feel like people are looking at me because I'm a size 36.

00:11:08.000 And I walked the street last time, and I felt like people were looking at me because they were attracted to me.

00:11:13.000 What do you want?

00:11:14.000 What do you want?

00:11:14.000 Tell us what you want.

00:11:16.000 And by the way, this goes the other way.

00:11:17.000 My mom's a thin woman. 0.99

00:11:19.000 My wife's a thin woman. 1.00

00:11:19.000 And actually, she comes by, and honestly, both her parents know are naturally very thin. 1.00

00:11:23.000 They've actually had the opposite problem, where they've had to go to doctors just to increase caloric intake.

00:11:27.000 He's talking about Skittle, so it's a natural thing.

00:11:29.000 It's a lot.

00:11:30.000 And I've had women say to me, we only have sizes for real women. 1.00

00:11:33.000 In the store, to their face, she's a figment of your imagination.

00:11:36.000 She's right there.

00:11:39.000 We don't expect women to be perfect. 0.99

00:11:41.000 But when you say you're perfect and you're a land whale, you make it into the show.

00:11:46.000 Look at the page three.

00:11:49.000 Yes.

00:11:50.000 Right.

00:11:51.000 Yes.

00:11:52.000 OK.

00:11:53.000 The New York Times, by the way, is right now reporting that Donald Trump was shown intel

00:11:55.000 illustrating that Putin directly ordered cyber attacks in 2016.

00:11:59.000 The New York Times said it, so you know it's good.

00:12:01.000 So Trump took to Twitter this morning, of course it was fake news, and he said they were trying to quote, so recklessly, hard, and hate the fact that I'll probably have a good relationship with Putin.

00:12:11.000 I'm not a Donald Trump hater.

00:12:13.000 But a muzzle might not be a bad investment every once in a while.

00:12:18.000 What?

00:12:19.000 Oh, oh, muzzle. 0.99

00:12:20.000 I thought you said Muslim. 0.95

00:12:21.000 At least some handcuffs.

00:12:22.000 What are you advocating indentured servitude?

00:12:25.000 This is not Malaysia or Indonesia or Dubai or UAE or everywhere Muslims congregate. 0.65

00:12:30.000 Are you progressive enough?

00:12:32.000 But here to speak about that more, he's been pretty passionate, he's been on shows and you've seen his political ads, former chief White House ethics lawyer and now candidate for Senate in Minnesota, Richard Painter.

00:12:40.000 Thank you for being here, sir.

00:12:42.000 I'm not happy about it, Steven.

00:12:44.000 Well, that's a bad start.

00:12:46.000 Not happy about what?

00:12:47.000 About being here. 0.99

00:12:48.000 About all the rubbish on this show. 0.99

00:12:50.000 All the junk that's been coming from our president and the complete hooey that Russia is handling thereof. 1.00

00:12:56.000 I tell you, Steven, this whole thing has been a dumpster fire. 0.99

00:13:00.000 Dumpster fire.

00:13:01.000 Jinx, you owe me a Coke. 0.99

00:13:02.000 Why would I owe you a Coke, Steven?

00:13:05.000 It's just a colloquialism. 1.00

00:13:06.000 I don't even drink that crap! 1.00

00:13:09.000 I wouldn't drink it if you paid me a dime and lit my ass on fire! 1.00

00:13:15.000 Okay, what do you drink? 1.00

00:13:17.000 I drink what the good Lord gave us!

00:13:20.000 Water!

00:13:22.000 Sugar! 1.00

00:13:23.000 Right, so what bothers you most about this week's handling of Russia?

00:13:27.000 If you were to put a finer point... A what?

00:13:28.000 We had a president who goes out there and praises Putin and then he says that he meant a different word.

00:13:34.000 This man lit a stage 5 dumpster fire and thinks he can fix it with a nitten zip of his fly.

00:13:40.000 A what? A zip of his...

00:13:42.000 Everyone knows you can't just piss out a dumpster fire!

00:13:46.000 I'm not even sure it's...

00:13:48.000 And then he wants to tell the American people that it's just raining.

00:13:52.000 But it's not. 0.97

00:13:53.000 It's just Donald Trump pissing on his own raging dumpster fire. 0.97

00:13:58.000 Okay, so then what's your solution? 0.99

00:14:00.000 The President has been in bed with Russia and now he's trying to sell the American people a dog.

00:14:07.000 A dog?

00:14:08.000 He's trying to sell... But we all know you can put lipstick in a dumpster fire. 0.99

00:14:12.000 That don't mean you can kiss it.

00:14:14.000 I don't think that's a thing.

00:14:15.000 Because then you end up looking like Liam Neeson from Darkman.

00:14:18.000 Okay, that's an odd reference to make.

00:14:20.000 The raging swamp in D.C.

00:14:22.000 has been a dumpster fire for far too long, and I'm gonna put it out.

00:14:27.000 Me.

00:14:28.000 Richard Bateman.

00:14:29.000 Wait, is it a swamp fire?

00:14:31.000 It's a raging swamp fire, and I'm going to put it out.

00:14:34.000 Okay, Senator, according to your own analogy, you can just put out the swamp fire with its own swamp water.

00:14:38.000 Enough with your flim-flam. 0.96

00:14:41.000 So you seem to think you're a tough guy, huh, going around pissing on fires?

00:14:45.000 Senator, I didn't piss on any fires.

00:14:47.000 Here in the land of a million leaks, I'll show you a thing or two about pissing on fires.

00:14:52.000 No, no, no.

00:14:54.000 Let's hang up.

00:14:55.000 You know what?

00:14:56.000 We apologize to our viewers and wish only the best for Senator, perhaps Senator Painter.

00:15:01.000 I hope he finds what he's looking for.

00:15:03.000 Okay, moving on with other things that'll be wildly unpopular.

00:15:07.000 You know, we've offended all the... You know what the truth is?

00:15:09.000 We actually get a lot of emails from people and comments of women going like, yeah, you know, I'm slightly big and this doesn't offend me at all.

00:15:13.000 I can't stand those people.

00:15:14.000 Yeah, they're called everybody else.

00:15:19.000 On the bell curve, they occupy...

00:15:22.000 All of it.

00:15:23.000 You're just a curve.

00:15:24.000 By the way, hit the notification bell and join Mug Club if you people haven't yet joined Mug Club.

00:15:28.000 It's the only way to support this show.

00:15:31.000 We don't keep the lights on with YouTube.

00:15:33.000 And of course, livestream every Thursday at 8 p.m.

00:15:36.000 Eastern.

00:15:36.000 It's never changed.

00:15:37.000 Okay, so this was an article in Time Magazine called, It's the Only Way These Teachers Are Working Summer Jobs to Make Ends Meet.

00:15:44.000 Cue the violins.

00:15:45.000 This is going to be a little bit of an unpopular opinion.

00:15:47.000 it's time for another Sacred Cow Cookout.

00:15:49.000 ♪ I live in the olden days ♪ ♪ And I'm a... ♪

00:15:52.000 ♪♪ We could probably...

00:15:55.000 That could stand to be improved.

00:15:57.000 Um, with an MS Paint.

00:16:02.000 I feel like that thing came out of the computer that printed where you had to take off the edges.

00:16:08.000 So unpopular opinion, but stay with me, alright?

00:16:11.000 Not all teachers, okay?

00:16:12.000 I think it's an important job.

00:16:13.000 I'm not saying it's not the most important job, but we'll get to that.

00:16:16.000 I think some teachers are underpaid, but I do think that public school teachers in particular have devolved into a professional culture of victimhood and ingratitude.

00:16:23.000 This was an article, but it read very much like a Dramatic 2020 special, so that's how we're going to present it.

00:16:28.000 Here it is.

00:16:29.000 Well done!

00:16:31.000 Summer break technically started May 18th, but he works every day.

00:16:36.000 He wakes up and drives to a space he's rented in an office building in Lawrence, Kansas, starting a seven-hour shift at around 5 a.m.

00:16:43.000 as a transportation consultant, advising on long-distance chemical hauling before clocking out at noon to go spend time with his kids.

00:16:53.000 Okay, if you weren't aware of the agenda at play here, this would actually read like a very mild work day.

00:17:01.000 You're off at noon?

00:17:02.000 That's it?

00:17:02.000 Wow!

00:17:03.000 That's awesome.

00:17:04.000 This is how you lead the horror story?

00:17:06.000 I haven't worked a short seven hour shift since I was 21 years old!

00:17:09.000 I was probably 16.

00:17:10.000 It's been a long, long time.

00:17:12.000 This man's been forced to work the everyday nine to three.

00:17:18.000 I know it's 9-4, I exaggerated with 1 to make a point because I think I've earned it here.

00:17:21.000 I've earned it.

00:17:22.000 The article only gets... look!

00:17:25.000 It's all a far cry from Dunn's normal routine.

00:17:28.000 For most of the year, he's a high school math teacher.

00:17:31.000 But school's out through August, and his salary doesn't cover his 4-year-old's preschool tuition or 8-year-old's dental expanders.

00:17:38.000 Dunn must supplement his job.

00:17:41.000 With an income from a summer job.

00:17:43.000 Okay.

00:17:44.000 Time for our leftist lexicon.

00:17:46.000 Schools out equals vacation.

00:17:49.000 Let's be really clear about this.

00:17:49.000 Okay?

00:17:51.000 It's called summer vacation for a reason.

00:17:53.000 Yes.

00:17:53.000 And by the way, again, we work with some people who are teachers who actually work on this show part-time, okay?

00:17:59.000 Brilliant people.

00:18:00.000 It's not all teachers, but the ones who talk about this article.

00:18:03.000 Pretty damn whiny, I've had it with you.

00:18:04.000 And summer job, or as it's interchanged in this article, second job, really means Job. 0.89

00:18:09.000 For everybody else.

00:18:10.000 Yeah.

00:18:10.000 We don't get three months off.

00:18:11.000 We don't get two and a half months off.

00:18:12.000 We don't get one month off.

00:18:14.000 Glad you cleared that up for everybody here.

00:18:15.000 Also, the title, It's the Only Way, can be substituted with, This is one of a multitude of ways, but I want more money, as well as three months off, so I'm going to do it this way and then bitch about it.

00:18:24.000 And then I'm gonna protest when it's really not about the kids, it's about me making more money for working less time than the average American.

00:18:29.000 It's about the children!

00:18:30.000 Really?

00:18:31.000 Hold on, strike that.

00:18:32.000 Your Honor, does it have to be on the record?

00:18:34.000 It already is. 0.99

00:18:35.000 Damn it. 1.00

00:18:35.000 It's done. 1.00

00:18:36.000 Done deal.

00:18:37.000 And here it goes, it goes on more.

00:18:38.000 Dunn's not alone in having a summer side hustle.

00:18:42.000 Educators are statistically 30% more likely to have second jobs than non-teachers.

00:18:47.000 Okay, back to the lexicon.

00:18:48.000 Second job equals job.

00:18:51.000 And frankly, I find this number surprising.

00:18:54.000 I'm horrible at math and I caught this.

00:18:59.000 When you consider the average American job is 260 plus days per year, teachers are only contracted to work 185 days per year.

00:19:07.000 Good gig.

00:19:07.000 I'm surprised it's only 30%.

00:19:09.000 That means that if you I'm not good at math.

00:19:13.000 Hold on.

00:19:14.000 Carry the one.

00:19:14.000 70% of teachers don't!

00:19:18.000 That's called statistically significant.

00:19:20.000 They get to have their cake and eat it three months out of the year, too.

00:19:27.000 The 3.1 million public school teachers in the U.S.

00:19:30.000 earned an average of only $59,000 during the 2016-17 school year according to the National Education Association Labor Union.

00:19:40.000 Wait, did you say only?

00:19:41.000 Yeah, I know.

00:19:43.000 Really?

00:19:43.000 Okay.

00:19:43.000 So this is about $6,600 a month, okay?

00:19:45.000 Yeah.

00:19:45.000 Prorate that to a 12-month job and it's close to $80,000.

00:19:47.000 12-month job and it's close to $80,000.

00:19:47.000 It's like $79,000.

00:19:51.000 It's like $79,000.

00:19:53.000 That's 20,000 more than the national median income of 59,000, okay?

00:19:58.000 That's median, by the way, not even average.

00:20:00.000 That's more money than I pay my employees.

00:20:00.000 That's a lot of money.

00:20:02.000 Is that a bad thing?

00:20:03.000 It is a terrible thing.

00:20:04.000 No!

00:20:04.000 I make them work every day of the year except for, you know, a few.

00:20:08.000 Think about that.

00:20:08.000 Again, this is not to...

00:20:12.000 I'm not trying to tar and feather all teachers.

00:20:13.000 This is one of those subjects.

00:20:14.000 And I think people are getting a little bit tired of it.

00:20:16.000 Yes.

00:20:17.000 It's the most important job.

00:20:18.000 How about neurosurgeon?

00:20:20.000 Is that in there somewhere?

00:20:21.000 ER doctor, perhaps?

00:20:22.000 And we're just saying all teachers.

00:20:24.000 Listen, you taught social studies, okay?

00:20:27.000 You did pre-kindergarten.

00:20:27.000 That's not exactly the same.

00:20:29.000 It's econometry.

00:20:29.000 You're exactly Mrs. Frizzle.

00:20:31.000 No, exactly.

00:20:32.000 Well, and one of the reasons we bring this up is because you guys go on strike all the time for very obvious reasons.

00:20:38.000 You want to get paid more money, and you're in a teacher's union that then lobbies the government to set your pay.

00:20:43.000 Well, by the way, when people talk about big money and Koch Brothers, just look at public sector unions.

00:20:47.000 It's not even close!

00:20:47.000 It's insane.

00:20:48.000 It should be illegal.

00:20:49.000 And you cry to us every single time, it's about the kids, it's about the kids.

00:20:52.000 And for most of you, or a lot of you, I don't know the number, it's about kids.

00:20:55.000 But when you're out there asking for a 20% raise, like in Arizona... We haven't been there yet!

00:20:59.000 We're about to get to it!

00:21:01.000 I have to step on something eventually.

00:21:03.000 It's called foreshadowing.

00:21:04.000 Thanks, Gerald.

00:21:04.000 Back to 2020, boys.

00:21:06.000 It's also expensive to work in education.

00:21:09.000 94% of U.S.

00:21:10.000 public school teachers report paying out-of-pocket for supplies, spending an average of $479 a year.

00:21:15.000 Again, I'm horrible at math.

00:21:16.000 Oh, what?

00:21:16.000 $49 a year. Again, I'm horrible at math.

00:21:19.000 Oh what?

00:21:19.000 But...

00:21:20.000 Are you serious?

00:21:22.000 $479? That's $40 less than an intern pays out of pocket for a smartphone!

00:21:29.000 She had to buy Crayolas on her own dime.

00:21:32.000 I have twice that amount in receipts, I just have never turned in.

00:21:38.000 How about we just pay them $500 a year less and give that money to students for supplies?

00:21:42.000 Problem solved, it's not coming out of their pocket anymore.

00:21:44.000 Yes, that's not why Nokia doesn't turn in, it's because you can't expense report a ball gag.

00:21:49.000 It's true, I have tried multiple ways.

00:21:50.000 For this show, yes, you could.

00:21:50.000 You know what?

00:21:52.000 Yeah, for this show, we literally have.

00:21:54.000 We literally have.

00:21:56.000 I think twice.

00:21:57.000 Twice.

00:21:58.000 One of them, my mother had to do it. 0.99

00:21:59.000 That's an uncomfortable Excel sheet.

00:22:03.000 Here's the thing.

00:22:04.000 Most people, I think, have some kind of gripe with their jobs.

00:22:06.000 Yeah.

00:22:07.000 And our hearts just are... Naturally, our hearts are oriented toward a state of lack of gratitude and ungratefulness.

00:22:13.000 Right.

00:22:14.000 Teachers just have a lot more time to get together and bitch about it than most people. 1.00

00:22:18.000 That's the only difference. 0.98

00:22:20.000 Stop it! 0.99

00:22:20.000 Yes. 0.99

00:22:22.000 I have to tell them to use a number two pencil so that it doesn't mess up the Scantron machine when I put it in!

00:22:28.000 Is that still the technology?

00:22:29.000 They're still using number threes and fours!

00:22:31.000 It's like I'm talking to a wall!

00:22:33.000 To reiterate, and to be specific, three months more time than everybody else.

00:22:38.000 Let's say two.

00:22:41.000 Let's say two, let's be really generous.

00:22:42.000 By the way, do they still use Scantrons?

00:22:43.000 I was about to say, is that the technology?

00:22:44.000 Do they even have non-number two pencils?

00:22:46.000 I've never seen one.

00:22:47.000 What?

00:22:47.000 Is it a thing?

00:22:48.000 I don't know.

00:22:48.000 Why do they always say number two pencils?

00:22:50.000 And what happened to number one?

00:22:51.000 What happened to number one?

00:22:52.000 Did we just get rid of it and never give it any kind of acknowledgement and credit for Weston?

00:22:55.000 No.

00:22:56.000 His contributions will be remiss.

00:22:57.000 We skipped it.

00:22:58.000 We skipped it.

00:22:59.000 All right, more from The Voice.

00:23:00.000 That's what fueled a nine-day teacher strike this past March in West Virginia.

00:23:04.000 Because they're doing a great job in West Virginia.

00:23:06.000 They have the worst record.

00:23:08.000 After teachers found out they'd only be getting a 2% raise, they organized en masse, eventually forcing the governor to increase their pay by 5% and pause healthcare price hikes.

00:23:19.000 Protests for higher wages quickly spread everywhere from Oklahoma to Colorado.

00:23:23.000 Oh, okay.

00:23:24.000 A 5% raise is far above the average of 3% annually for American workers.

00:23:28.000 Yeah.

00:23:29.000 All right?

00:23:29.000 And like you said, teachers elsewhere, in Arizona, got a 20% raise.

00:23:33.000 That's insane.

00:23:34.000 Across the board after strikes.

00:23:35.000 Sounds like greediness is contagious.

00:23:37.000 And they didn't teach the kids 20% better.

00:23:38.000 The test scores didn't go up 20% more, all right?

00:23:41.000 The schools didn't run 20% more on time.

00:23:43.000 Using 20% less Scantron.

00:23:44.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:23:45.000 20% less number two pencil.

00:23:46.000 You've got to give them something at that point.

00:23:48.000 And this is what we're talking about, too.

00:23:49.000 This is where, like we were talking about with the fat pride deal, what it is is the grace window closes when there's ingratitude, right? 0.75

00:23:56.000 If teachers just said, OK, listen, it's 3%.

00:23:56.000 Yeah.

00:23:59.000 We want a 3% raise.

00:24:01.000 OK, let's go with that at that point.

00:24:01.000 5% raise?

00:24:03.000 But let's say someone says, you know what?

00:24:05.000 All right, I'm going to give you a 6% raise.

00:24:07.000 That's twice the national average.

00:24:08.000 They're excited to give the teachers, but you say 20%.

00:24:10.000 Guess what?

00:24:11.000 Yeah.

00:24:11.000 You think that person wants to be gracious to you?

00:24:13.000 You're done.

00:24:13.000 You think the public, the taxpayers, you think they're happy with this performance?

00:24:17.000 It's the exact opposite!

00:24:18.000 Ingratitude closes doors and people, and that's why I say that the tides are shifting right now with a lot of teachers, particularly as you have more private schools, particularly as you have more people doing school online.

00:24:28.000 Yeah, there's a lot of competition coming around.

00:24:30.000 Not all teachers are great, and we'll get to that in a second.

00:24:32.000 Back to The Voice.

00:24:33.000 As teens drop summer jobs, teachers like the Sullins are picking them up.

00:24:38.000 Forget lifeguarding or delivering newspapers, instead educators are taking advantage of the gig economy.

00:24:43.000 Some walk dogs through WAG, a pet sitting app.

00:24:46.000 Or some deliver packages for Amazon Flex, where employees can earn up to $25 an hour.

00:24:52.000 Oh, the horror!

00:24:52.000 Okay, you only work nine months out of the year, so you're forced to take a completely flexible,

00:24:57.000 name your own hours, high paying part time job.

00:24:59.000 Hard to get fired job.

00:25:00.000 Thanks to the modern economy, by the way, during your two month vacation,

00:25:03.000 because you only make the equivalent to 20,000 more than the national average plus lifelong benefits.

00:25:09.000 And by the way, this sharing economy, the gig economy, is the economy that all the far leftists

00:25:14.000 who support your unions 99% of the time, look it up at Open Secrets, hate!

00:25:18.000 The socialists hate the sharing economy!

00:25:22.000 This is awesome.

00:25:25.000 Seriously!

00:25:26.000 Barney Sanders!

00:25:27.000 Uber! 0.54

00:25:29.000 And Airbnb! 1.00

00:25:30.000 Shut up! 1.00

00:25:32.000 You old socialist coot! 1.00

00:25:33.000 The irony is too rich. 0.99

00:25:35.000 The Sullins!

00:25:37.000 Sorry, Sullins is a first name.

00:25:39.000 I need to make sure I get this correct.

00:25:42.000 The spirit's the same!

00:25:43.000 It's in the voice.

00:25:45.000 It's a New York white guy name.

00:25:47.000 Sullins, who has a master's degree and is national board certified, says he earns about $47,000 a year in base pay.

00:25:54.000 He can usually bring in about $200 every few days with Lyft, with a Y. Money he uses to help cover auto bills and medical costs for him, And his husband.

00:26:05.000 Last year he worked at a religious preschool.

00:26:08.000 I don't even know what... I'm just going to finish this up.

00:26:11.000 I wish I could take vacations.

00:26:12.000 I wish I could sit and do nothing during the summer, he says.

00:26:16.000 Don't we all?

00:26:17.000 I don't think teachers are really paid for the value of what they provide to society.

00:26:23.000 Like teaching them about two daddies?

00:26:25.000 Just in case the social agenda weren't obvious enough.

00:26:28.000 Definitely caught that.

00:26:29.000 Him and his husband are teaching children.

00:26:31.000 And they would love to take summers off.

00:26:33.000 EVERYONE WOULD LOVE TO TAKE SUMMERS OFF!

00:26:36.000 You feathered the two-daddy thing in there, right? 0.96

00:26:37.000 No one caught that, right?

00:26:38.000 Is that a religious preschool?

00:26:40.000 What religion?

00:26:41.000 I don't know, maybe they're Unitarians. 0.65

00:26:44.000 Do they have schools?

00:26:46.000 I don't know.

00:26:47.000 Unitarian Montessori school?

00:26:49.000 Nah, it's not in the doctrine.

00:26:49.000 Everybody's accepted except Christians.

00:26:50.000 And here's something, like I said, I've had some great teachers.

00:26:52.000 Yeah.

00:26:53.000 But I've had a lot of, when you average it up, most of you have had somewhere between, in Canada it's a little bit different, I did immersion, so I've had somewhere close to 40 teachers by the time I was in college.

00:27:02.000 Most people have somewhere between 25 and 40.

00:27:02.000 Right, yeah.

00:27:04.000 We go through grade school and high school.

00:27:07.000 I can name you four that had a positive impact on my life.

00:27:11.000 Can you think of any?

00:27:13.000 I can think of probably two that had a big impact, and maybe two or three others that had a good impact, but I can't remember their names.

00:27:20.000 I'm really terrible with that.

00:27:21.000 But one of them was one of the most impactful.

00:27:23.000 Will you remember me always?

00:27:24.000 Yes.

00:27:25.000 No.

00:27:26.000 Who was she? 1.00

00:27:26.000 Next year. 1.00

00:27:27.000 Do you have any teachers?

00:27:28.000 I was homeschooled, so I plead the fifth.

00:27:29.000 Yeah, you can't do that.

00:27:31.000 I did not.

00:27:33.000 Stan, do you have any good teachers?

00:27:34.000 Oh yeah, there were a few good teachers.

00:27:35.000 I would imagine they beat you a lot in Germany.

00:27:37.000 Maybe.

00:27:38.000 In Germany, I just talk to them all the time using the Switch.

00:27:40.000 Yeah, you get better results that way.

00:27:41.000 Grabbing the paddle.

00:27:42.000 I can count on one hand, so I can give you the exact names.

00:27:45.000 Mr. Mitchell, my senior year English teacher at Centennial.

00:27:49.000 And I remember he was very clear about how you were graded.

00:27:51.000 You had to read a book, and you had to write an essay on the book.

00:27:55.000 You had to deliver an oral each semester.

00:27:57.000 You had to do a written test on the book.

00:27:59.000 And then you had to do a written test on something And then you also had 10% of your grade just for writing every single day in a journal.

00:28:06.000 He said, if you do these things, this is how you're graded.

00:28:08.000 And kids loved him.

00:28:09.000 He stayed after class, and the school board came to him and told him that his grades were too high, so he just took it down by five points next semester so he wouldn't get fired.

00:28:16.000 See, this is why we hate schools.

00:28:17.000 Mrs. Berman taught me about World War II, the Holocaust, in ninth grade.

00:28:20.000 She was one of the few, like, board-certified people.

00:28:22.000 And while she reprimanded me, she actually encouraged kind of the class clownsmanship that you see today. 0.95

00:28:26.000 She was like, you're being a smartass.

00:28:28.000 You can do it, just not on my time. 0.98

00:28:30.000 I find it funny, but I will kick you out.

00:28:32.000 Now we know who to blame.

00:28:33.000 She could have nipped it in the bud.

00:28:35.000 I can remember Mrs. Roberts, in my seventh grade, homeroom teacher, stayed after school to help me with my math.

00:28:42.000 And then Mrs. Naidoo.

00:28:44.000 Here's a good example.

00:28:45.000 Strict.

00:28:46.000 Fierce.

00:28:46.000 Small, I think, South Indian lady.

00:28:48.000 She was very dark. 0.97

00:28:49.000 Darker than most black people. 1.00

00:28:50.000 I mean, she was really dark. 0.98

00:28:52.000 Camouflage.

00:28:54.000 And most kids didn't like her.

00:28:56.000 Most kids did not like her.

00:28:57.000 So it was that year, by the way, in the fourth grade, and it was my whole childhood up until Quebec, where midway through that year, I had to be in French immersion.

00:29:05.000 And I think I've spoken with you guys about this.

00:29:06.000 That's where you do half in English, half in French.

00:29:08.000 So I was learning math, history, geography in French, and I fell behind.

00:29:12.000 I think they might have thought I was learning disabled.

00:29:14.000 I'm not entirely, but the point is, midway through the year, for some reason, all I knew was they switched me to learning English.

00:29:20.000 Learning in English, and I was fine.

00:29:21.000 Once I started learning in English, I was like, oh, he's not retarded. 1.00

00:29:25.000 He's just slow doing math in French.

00:29:28.000 I was about to say, you mean I'm speaking a language that's very difficult, trying to learn math, which I don't know yet?

00:29:32.000 Right.

00:29:33.000 And it didn't have so much to do with math.

00:29:33.000 Seriously?

00:29:35.000 It was just really hard for me.

00:29:36.000 So Mrs. Naidoo stayed after school, and she taught me long division, which I can't do now.

00:29:40.000 I cannot remember.

00:29:42.000 We have calculators, don't worry.

00:29:43.000 The crazy thing is, it took about three sessions.

00:29:45.000 And same with my senior year of high school.

00:29:45.000 Yeah.

00:29:47.000 I never opened my math textbook because I had a teacher.

00:29:49.000 I won't name him.

00:29:49.000 I really liked him as a person.

00:29:50.000 Horrible math teacher. 1.00

00:29:52.000 73% of his students would fail their provincial exams.

00:29:55.000 But three sessions for me to learn long division, which I didn't learn.

00:29:58.000 Think of that!

00:30:00.000 Half of the school year, nothing.

00:30:03.000 Nothing!

00:30:04.000 You get nothing!

00:30:06.000 Good day, sir!

00:30:07.000 You're learning disabled! 1.00

00:30:08.000 Good day to you!

00:30:09.000 The school system, the public school teachers, taught me in three sessions with a truly devoted teacher, I learned it all.

00:30:16.000 I'm not condemning all teachers.

00:30:18.000 What do I think?

00:30:18.000 Let me simplify it.

00:30:19.000 I think Ms.

00:30:19.000 Knight, who deserves a six-figure executive salary, and the other teachers deserve intern base pay.

00:30:23.000 There you go!

00:30:24.000 Yeah, absolutely.

00:30:24.000 In a nutshell.

00:30:25.000 I have a quick, easy solution to this.

00:30:27.000 If you take the school system that we have right now and you make people compete for jobs, teachers are going to make a lot more money.

00:30:32.000 Every one of them could possibly get a raise if you take it out of the government sector and put it in the public sector.

00:30:36.000 Oh, is that really what you think?

00:30:38.000 You think it's performance-based and it's intrinsically paternal system?

00:30:41.000 Remember that Matt Daly talking report?

00:30:42.000 It's like, oh, you use words that you pulled out of your Harvard dictionary, I guess.

00:30:46.000 Because it doesn't apply.

00:30:47.000 Intrinsically paternal system has nothing to do with competitive-based pay.

00:30:50.000 Those are just sounds.

00:30:51.000 Yeah, also, I have a...

00:30:53.000 I have a buddy who is a teacher right now, and we love—the good teachers, we love them.

00:30:56.000 Obviously, you've said that before.

00:30:58.000 My buddy's a great teacher, but he chooses to do it.

00:31:00.000 He knows he's going to make less money, and so therefore he doesn't complain when he makes less money and works a second job.

00:31:06.000 He chooses to do it because he loves the fulfilling aspect of it.

00:31:09.000 He gets so into people, and that's fantastic.

00:31:11.000 Go for it.

00:31:11.000 But don't then complain to me that you want three months off and more money.

00:31:15.000 And the longer you do it, you know what, you're hurting others.

00:31:17.000 Just like the size 25, the size 36 person we were talking about, she hurts the women who are slightly chubbier. 1.00

00:31:22.000 Because the more you demand that people accept you as perfect, the more you demand that everyone take you for what you are and take it at face value for perfect, the less grace people have for you.

00:31:31.000 Teaching is the single most important job in the world.

00:31:34.000 Now if you said, listen, I think teaching is an important job, you'd have a lot of grace from people going like, oh yeah, that's an important job.

00:31:39.000 It's the most important.

00:31:40.000 Well... Dr. Parsons separated conjoined twins at the head.

00:31:44.000 What'd you do today?

00:31:46.000 NASA?

00:31:47.000 It's the most important.

00:31:48.000 Teachers are the most underpaid job.

00:31:50.000 Hold on a second.

00:31:52.000 Not necessarily.

00:31:53.000 What about anesthesiologists?

00:31:55.000 They're off by a degree. 0.76

00:31:56.000 You get killed.

00:31:57.000 I know they're paid a lot. 0.84

00:31:57.000 I want them to be paid a lot. 0.84

00:31:58.000 I've been put under twice.

00:31:59.000 I want them to be good at their jobs.

00:32:01.000 Now if you just said teachers are generally underpaid, most people go along with you.

00:32:05.000 Can you close?

00:32:06.000 People miss more opportunities in their life for ingratitude than I think.

00:32:10.000 It's just an attitude of gratitude.

00:32:11.000 It's not about being this false sort of positive self-help.

00:32:16.000 It is about appreciating what you have and using that as your platform from which to propel yourself forward.

00:32:23.000 You will open doors by being grateful.

00:32:25.000 People will want to be gracious to you.

00:32:27.000 Speaking of very gracious, Not Gay Jared forced me to do this. 0.50

00:32:27.000 All right. 0.50

00:32:31.000 It is time for a Mug Club movie review.

00:32:35.000 What do I have to review there, Nucketjer? 1.00

00:32:48.000 We are reviewing today Mamma Mia 2.

00:32:51.000 Mamma Mia 2, yeah.

00:32:53.000 Say it.

00:32:54.000 Say it ain't, so.

00:32:55.000 So, well you don't have to, you weren't there.

00:32:57.000 So let me just give you the synopsis because I can't really tell you what happened.

00:33:01.000 In 1979 these girls Donna, Tanya, and Rosie graduate from Oscar University and are free to embark on her journey.

00:33:06.000 She meets Harry, Bill, and Sam and falls in love with Sam but ends up breaking up.

00:33:09.000 Okay, here's the deal.

00:33:10.000 We saw Mamma Mia... 1.00

00:33:12.000 The second one.

00:33:13.000 I threw up a little.

00:33:15.000 Mamma Mia 2. 0.54

00:33:15.000 I'm pretty sure it's just based on ABBA. 0.54

00:33:17.000 And by the way, getting a little bit thin with the ABBA Greatest Hits Catalog.

00:33:22.000 I hope there's not a 3 in Dear God, No Pierce Brosnan.

00:33:24.000 Because again, I want to like it.

00:33:26.000 He's so fantastic.

00:33:27.000 Everything else, I've lost respect for him.

00:33:29.000 For those of you who have not seen it, here's a brief clip.

00:33:31.000 Mamma Mia, here I go again.

00:33:34.000 My, my, how can I resist ya?

00:33:41.000 It is said that if you give a dog some cheeses, you feed him for a day.

00:33:50.000 God!

00:33:51.000 I'm now for Hopper Proverbs, sponsored exclusively by Mug Club.

00:33:59.000 It is said that if you give a dog some cheeses, you feed him for a day.

00:34:05.000 But if you give a dog a cow, I don't know how to make cheeses, but if I had a recipe

00:34:12.000 in some farms, I probably could figure it out.

00:34:15.000 Just join Mug Club so Stephen can give Hopper more cheeses, because he has thumbs.

00:34:23.000 Stay tuned for more Hopper Proverbs, sponsored by Mug Club. 0.86

00:34:28.000 I don't think people can do hadoukens in real life.

00:34:49.000 We've been asking for fans, but if someone could, it would be our next guest.

00:34:52.000 It would.

00:34:53.000 So, for people who don't know, I'm not going to lie, there are very few, I've talked about this, people I've met in my life who intimidate me, not just because they can beat the crap out of me, but there's a certain level of fame and notoriety with which I'm no longer comfortable.

00:35:03.000 One was when I met Clint Eastwood, and I didn't know what to say, like, I loved you in every which way but loose.

00:35:07.000 Yeah, he introduced himself as the Mayor of Carmel.

00:35:08.000 Yeah, and he introduced himself as the Mayor of Carmel.

00:35:11.000 One was GSP, and our next guest, in case you don't know, Undisputed Light Heavyweight Champion.

00:35:16.000 Boom.

00:35:17.000 Just defeated Stipe Miocic to become the Undisputed Heavyweight Champion.

00:35:20.000 Boom.

00:35:21.000 And he's a full-time host and commentator for the sport of mixed martial arts, Daniel D.C.

00:35:26.000 Cormier.

00:35:26.000 How are you, sir?

00:35:27.000 Thank you for being here.

00:35:27.000 I'm pretty good, man.

00:35:29.000 Thank you for having me, Steve.

00:35:30.000 I appreciate you calling us from your limo there.

00:35:33.000 I see someone is driving you.

00:35:35.000 I hope to reach that level of notoriety someday.

00:35:40.000 Like you stated off there, it might be a bit of a power move.

00:35:43.000 We gotta seem real busy.

00:35:44.000 Gotta keep it moving.

00:35:45.000 Yes, exactly.

00:35:46.000 Well, I don't really think you need to make a power play, DC.

00:35:49.000 Rest assured, everyone here is terrified.

00:35:52.000 So, first off, listen.

00:35:53.000 Congratulations, obviously, on what might be one of the biggest accomplishments in sports, let alone mixed martial arts.

00:35:59.000 Everyone I know wants to talk with you about the Lesnar fight.

00:36:00.000 They want your ear on this.

00:36:01.000 This is the biggest fight coming up.

00:36:03.000 But for some of our fans who aren't necessarily familiar, I'd love to kind of get into your story a little bit.

00:36:08.000 Yes.

00:36:09.000 I mean, some serious adversity you've overcome.

00:36:11.000 Yes.

00:36:11.000 People don't know, captain of the Olympic wrestling team and really, really high hopes for you because you were so high level and you had kidney failure from cutting weight, dialysis.

00:36:20.000 Yes.

00:36:21.000 Not to bring up any sore spot, but obviously I know you had a tragedy with your daughter.

00:36:24.000 Things that most people would justifiably use as an excuse.

00:36:27.000 Now you've just become the UFC heavyweight champion at 39.

00:36:31.000 And having had Brian Shaw recently, World's Strongest Man, and George St.

00:36:35.000 Pierre, and some great people at what they do, how did you do it?

00:36:39.000 Did you always believe and know that you were going to be here?

00:36:43.000 What are the doubts like along that path?

00:36:43.000 What's that like?

00:36:47.000 You know, man, the crazy thing is, it's like when you When you deal with a lot of these things that I've dealt with, you know, especially the tragedies in life, you can either suck it up or you can say, you know what, my journey's done.

00:36:59.000 You know, I knew that the best way to honor all the people that I've lost, especially Caden, was to do something truly, truly special.

00:37:09.000 So use it as a motivating factor in my life, and that's what I've done.

00:37:13.000 I feel like all the very close calls I had with becoming the best led to that moment on July 7th, or July 9th, when I fought Stipek.

00:37:25.000 We all have.

00:37:26.000 But come on, that's the biggest event ever.

00:37:28.000 Give or take a couple of days.

00:37:30.000 I have a lot of things going on.

00:37:31.000 I'm your chauffeur.

00:37:32.000 I'm trying to really make myself seem more busy than I am, I gotta be honest.

00:37:36.000 But I really did know the date.

00:37:39.000 I did know the date.

00:37:40.000 I was just pretending.

00:37:41.000 You guys called me out on it.

00:37:42.000 I appreciate your candor.

00:37:45.000 But, uh, um, you know, we, I doubt myself, you know, I'm like, man, 39 years old, you know, you know what the craziest thing was like before the fight with Stipe being that he was the guy that defended the belt three times and he was the most successful heavyweight champ of all time.

00:38:01.000 I'm in the back in the locker room.

00:38:03.000 And I'm walking back and forth, and these are thoughts that I'm having to myself because my coaches and teammates are all excited.

00:38:08.000 I'm telling myself, when I lose, I'm 39 years old, I'm done with this.

00:38:14.000 I'm never fighting again.

00:38:15.000 I don't need to deal with this anxiety.

00:38:17.000 It's over.

00:38:18.000 I was like trying to give myself reasons why I was going to lose the fight.

00:38:22.000 I was like, what is going on? 0.97

00:38:23.000 I couldn't hear his trash talk. 0.99

00:38:24.000 He always mumbles. 0.99

00:38:25.000 People from Cleveland, I don't know what they're saying.

00:38:27.000 It just makes no sense.

00:38:29.000 Yeah, any reason.

00:38:32.000 It was just, and it was just like everybody was saying how hard he hit, right?

00:38:35.000 And I'm like, man, I wonder if this dude is going to hit me and I'm going to be like, what in the world is this hitting me?

00:38:41.000 It's harder than anything I've ever felt.

00:38:43.000 So, you know, we talk about all the same types of questions, but the moment I got into the Octagon, I was like, I could never give this up.

00:38:50.000 I can't give this up until it's time for me to give it up.

00:38:53.000 But you know, I'm interested in the fact that you mentioned that, you know, anxiety.

00:38:56.000 Some fighters say they don't get it.

00:38:58.000 Same thing with the performers.

00:38:59.000 You know, before I take the stage ever, I'm always nervous, and I've always been very jealous of some people who say they're not.

00:39:05.000 But you're someone who gets nervous before every fight.

00:39:09.000 I think you should embrace that, though.

00:39:11.000 You know, because I feel like for you and me, the people that are nervous, it's like this anxiety For me, it's competitive nerves, right?

00:39:21.000 Like, I'm excited about the opportunity to compete and test myself and challenge myself, but not knowing what the outcome is gonna be makes me on alert.

00:39:31.000 And I feel like the times that I'm not like that is when I'm gonna lose a fight.

00:39:35.000 And I feel the same way with you, right?

00:39:36.000 Like, if you're going onto a stage, you know you have a job to do.

00:39:40.000 You know you have a message to get across.

00:39:42.000 And it's like, if I don't present my message in a good, strong way, This can go sideways very quickly.

00:39:50.000 So yeah, the nerves are great.

00:39:53.000 The nerves make you want to edge, and the nerves make you want to reach out

00:39:55.000 to the level that you expect from yourself.

00:39:57.000 Yeah, I often still go sideways from live performances because people punch me

00:40:00.000 when they don't like what I have to say.

00:40:02.000 But, okay, I have some other questions I want to ask you, but let me ask this specifically about that fight.

00:40:06.000 Because now understanding, I didn't know this, you know, the anxiety, the sort of self-doubt you had had.

00:40:10.000 I remember watching it, and you starting off and being a little bit more cautious, and I turned to my dad watching this fight.

00:40:16.000 For people who don't know, go watch it.

00:40:17.000 It's a classic.

00:40:18.000 Saying, up, he's timed him now.

00:40:20.000 And I remember your hands were a little bit up, you fight taller than a lot of people talk about that with you.

00:40:24.000 And it rolled with the punch coming in, that over-under as he pivoted.

00:40:27.000 It seemed like you had drilled that a thousand times.

00:40:30.000 Did you kind of get a sense when you're in there going, okay I've been here before, I know what's about to happen?

00:40:35.000 You know, Steve, when I was wondering about his punching power, once I felt it, I was like, OK, this is nothing abnormal.

00:40:42.000 You know, this is... Right.

00:40:43.000 He is hard, but nothing that I have... Guys, put the volume down a little bit.

00:40:47.000 Nothing that I have in my kids.

00:40:49.000 That's good.

00:40:50.000 And I'm also like, hey, I'm super busy driving the car and raising my kids while doing the interview.

00:40:54.000 Look.

00:40:55.000 I appreciate it.

00:40:55.000 I am a busy man.

00:40:56.000 I'm just kidding.

00:40:57.000 But I was like, OK, it's not abnormal.

00:41:00.000 I kind of got his timing a little bit.

00:41:02.000 Let's see what happens.

00:41:03.000 But when he went to that underhook, Um, I limped to get my underhook, because time and time again, early in the fight, I tried to uppercut him, right?

00:41:11.000 Right.

00:41:12.000 We had picked up on something Stipe does when he backs out of the clinch.

00:41:16.000 He'll leave his hands low and his chin's kind of up.

00:41:18.000 Yeah.

00:41:18.000 So after I limped for him that time, I threw uppercut twice.

00:41:22.000 I was like, he's gonna expect uppercut.

00:41:24.000 His hand stayed a little bit low, so I threw the overhook, and it landed.

00:41:27.000 I mean, it's just something that me and my coaches, especially Rosendo Sanchez, did over and over again.

00:41:33.000 We went uppercut, He disappeared from in front of me, and I was like, oh my goodness, this is actually happening right now.

00:41:43.000 It was like a fairytale.

00:41:45.000 And we've seen Stipe do that, right?

00:41:46.000 Oh my goodness, and he's up. 1.00

00:41:47.000 Crap, crap, crap. 1.00

00:41:48.000 Because I've seen that. 1.00

00:41:49.000 Well, we've seen, and we've seen Stipe do that, right?

00:41:52.000 When Overeem dropped him, he got up and he got back and he won that fight.

00:41:56.000 But hey, I was like, oh my goodness, he's down.

00:41:59.000 Jump on him and hit him a couple more times and end this fight. 1.00

00:42:01.000 Yes, and this was on July 7th, correct?

00:42:03.000 Just making sure.

00:42:08.000 How does it feel at this moment in time to know that you are virtually 100% certain there is no man walking the globe who could defeat you in unarmed hand-to-hand combat at this moment in time?

00:42:19.000 You know they say the heavyweight champion is the baddest man on the planet and I'm the UFC heavyweight champion so it's a good feeling whenever you accomplish things that you look forward to your entire career.

00:42:31.000 I've come up short before so to accomplish that goal and beat a guy that was so Well thought of.

00:42:37.000 It's big.

00:42:38.000 Thing is, with me though, I'm a shorter guy, right?

00:42:40.000 I'm not the most muscular guy, right?

00:42:43.000 I wouldn't say that, DC.

00:42:46.000 I would say you're about average.

00:42:47.000 You're a good-looking guy.

00:42:48.000 I wouldn't say any of those things.

00:42:49.000 Yeah, I'm a good-looking guy.

00:42:51.000 Trust me.

00:42:52.000 Hey, I'm a good-looking guy.

00:42:53.000 I'm beautiful.

00:42:54.000 I'm beautiful.

00:42:55.000 To my wife.

00:42:58.000 I'm beautiful.

00:42:59.000 To my wife.

00:43:01.000 People wouldn't try Stipe because he's 6'4", 250 pounds.

00:43:04.000 They see me, I'm 5'11", 240 pounds.

00:43:05.000 They're like, I might be able to whip that dude.

00:43:11.000 Yeah.

00:43:11.000 Disclaimer, don't try me.

00:43:14.000 Okay, all right.

00:43:15.000 Well, okay, let me get more specific because it's a very gracious answer.

00:43:19.000 Josh Barnett, to me, we can bring up this clip, I don't think you can see it right now, but one of the most amazing moments in all of fighting, you throwing Josh Barnett, and I know you have a lot of love for him, so I don't say this to at all denigrate the guy, like a small child.

00:43:32.000 And for those who don't know watching, Josh Barnett is a tremendous wrestler who could throw any of us like a small child.

00:43:39.000 When you're fighting one of the top, UFC champion himself, one of the best wrestlers around, and the discrepancy is so huge between you and someone like that in this fight, does that confidence carry into the next fight or is it still back to point zero and you have those doubts and that anxiety?

00:43:55.000 I always have the nervousness.

00:43:57.000 That will never go away.

00:43:59.000 But when I fought Josh Barnett, I knew that I was ready to fight everybody.

00:44:04.000 That was the fight where I felt I grew up.

00:44:07.000 I was like, man, I am a true martial artist now.

00:44:11.000 I can fight anybody in the world and be okay because I know that Josh could have fought anybody in the world and been okay.

00:44:20.000 I always say the Josh Barnett fight is the fight that I grew up in.

00:44:24.000 Yeah.

00:44:24.000 Okay.

00:44:25.000 It was the fight that I was so terrified. 0.96

00:44:28.000 My balls were tracked into my body. 0.89

00:44:30.000 That's how I remember that. 0.98

00:44:32.000 When you see a 250-pound man twirl around, you're like, oh my god.

00:44:36.000 Oh, okay.

00:44:37.000 I'm a pro at jiu-jitsu.

00:44:38.000 Done some recreational boxing.

00:44:39.000 Just try to make nice.

00:44:41.000 Watch a pay-per-view and a box of Kotex.

00:44:44.000 You're like hey there is somebody out there that could do that to me and that is a scary thought.

00:44:48.000 Oh, I've had it done to me with an Oklahoma state wrestler.

00:44:50.000 He suplexed me to high heaven and I was just like, okay, I understand this level now.

00:44:54.000 Who was it?

00:44:55.000 A guy named, he was very nice.

00:44:57.000 I don't want to put out his name, but he was very, let me say this, very nice and I was the one who started

00:45:01.000 standing because I wanted to, I think his name is ****, trains at Guy, Guy in Dallas and just unbelievable,

00:45:08.000 you know, just unbelievably strong and to feel, I say to everyone, you should feel excellence in any realm.

00:45:13.000 Now, I've had Thomas Sowell on the show, one of the most brilliant economists ever. To talk with him is to

00:45:18.000 experience it on a new level. 1.00

00:45:20.000 To go with someone like that, who's an All-American, you assume you're going to get your ass kicked. 0.99

00:45:26.000 But you need to feel it once. 0.99

00:45:27.000 You know what I mean?

00:45:29.000 To understand.

00:45:30.000 Yes, exactly.

00:45:31.000 I don't need to try it with you.

00:45:32.000 Skype is good enough.

00:45:35.000 Something I've always found really interesting.

00:45:37.000 You just mentioned your wife.

00:45:38.000 Your rivalry, obviously, with Jon Jones.

00:45:40.000 Not so much the fight game aspect, but such a stark contrast, I've always thought, in lifestyle.

00:45:44.000 With him, hitting runs, popping hot.

00:45:47.000 Yes, it does.

00:45:48.000 You know, because the reality is, I could never do any of this without my family.

00:45:51.000 focus on your family and I always notice sharing your victories very graciously

00:45:54.000 with teammates. Do you think that those relationships really ground you and make

00:45:58.000 you stronger as a person thereby as a fighter? Yes it does you know because the

00:46:06.000 reality is I could never do any of this without my family all with my teammates

00:46:10.000 and my coaches like yeah from the moment that I first experienced high-level mixed

00:46:16.000 martial arts especially watching Cain Velasquez become heavyweight champion

00:46:20.000 Everything he said was we.

00:46:22.000 We thought.

00:46:23.000 We thought.

00:46:24.000 We thought we could do this.

00:46:25.000 We thought we could do this.

00:46:27.000 And I remember going, He hasn't taken full credit for this.

00:46:31.000 This is a team.

00:46:32.000 And I was like, you know what?

00:46:33.000 I'm part of that team.

00:46:34.000 And then I started to experience it for myself.

00:46:37.000 Like, wow, it really is this team's victory.

00:46:40.000 I'm just the guy that gets to go out and show what we've been working on for the last 12 weeks, the last 10 weeks.

00:46:46.000 I'm just the guy that goes out to present the product.

00:46:49.000 I mean, Nobody does their job on their own, and I believe that when guys go, I'm this and I'm that and I'm that, it's just very selfish.

00:46:57.000 But family is everything.

00:46:59.000 You know, you don't want to get it. It's just that, that, that, that, that real, uh, that real kind of crazy type of

00:47:10.000 life.

00:47:10.000 Yeah.

00:47:11.000 Honestly is not for me.

00:47:15.000 You know, it's obviously for Jones.

00:47:17.000 Yeah.

00:47:17.000 But it's also what makes Jones so good, right?

00:47:20.000 Because he lives so, like, on the edge.

00:47:24.000 Yeah.

00:47:25.000 Like, I think he might be, like, one of those guys that needs to live on the edge.

00:47:28.000 So when he lives on the edge, he also fights like that, right?

00:47:31.000 Like, not many guys can just be absolutely free inside of the octagon.

00:47:31.000 Right.

00:47:35.000 And I think Jones is one of those guys.

00:47:38.000 That's why you see him doing spinning kicks.

00:47:40.000 Elbow. He does all these things because there's no concern for what's going to happen. No

00:47:48.000 concern for the punishment of the action. And I think that's why he's so good at fighting,

00:47:53.000 but also why he's so self-destructive in life.

00:47:56.000 It's a healthy psyche.

00:47:58.000 Yeah, it's a healthy cycle.

00:47:58.000 The creative fighting goes hand in hand with coke under the octagon when they're coming in.

00:48:02.000 Well, you know what?

00:48:03.000 It's funny.

00:48:03.000 This is a great example of humility and not in the sense that, listen, you know you're the baddest man on the planet.

00:48:08.000 You're not lying about that.

00:48:09.000 It's not false humility, but gratitude to people who helped you do that.

00:48:12.000 And we're talking a lot about masculinity, this idea of toxic masculinity today.

00:48:16.000 I think you're a good example so people can understand that there's a balance between gratitude and also being real in looking yourself in the mirror.

00:48:24.000 And not to stay on a sore spot, but this is the final question I do want to ask on that man.

00:48:30.000 You've beaten every man you've ever fought, obviously, soundly, not named John Jones, and then he pissed so many times hot, he was melting USADA cups like they looked at the Ark of the Covenant, right?

00:48:40.000 Is this still something that it's a rematch that you want and do you even think it would ever be possible given how much trouble in the suspensions he's been into?

00:48:48.000 You know, our business is a partnership, right?

00:48:51.000 Because as two guys that have to fight, we have to promote the fight.

00:48:55.000 We have to get to the fight.

00:48:57.000 We have to do everything together to present the fight as it's supposed to be.

00:49:02.000 And there's been a number of occasions where we haven't.

00:49:05.000 You know, for John and I, the two fights that we've had, we've been scheduled five times.

00:49:10.000 And for one reason or the other, we haven't fought.

00:49:15.000 I would fight him again.

00:49:16.000 I'm a competitor.

00:49:17.000 I would love to fight him again.

00:49:18.000 I just don't know if it works in the time frame for what I have left in my career.

00:49:22.000 I've said for a long time, I will retire by the time I'm 40 years old.

00:49:26.000 That's next March.

00:49:28.000 And when I started saying it early, people thought, there's no way, but we had years away from that date.

00:49:33.000 But now as we get closer, everybody's like, wow, this guy might be serious.

00:49:36.000 I just don't know when John's going to be back.

00:49:41.000 And honestly, that's his fault.

00:49:42.000 I mean, I can't hold or allow him to dictate anything that goes on in my career anymore.

00:49:48.000 Well, man, I think that's a healthy way to look at it, because I know, like you said, the guy was in your head for a while.

00:49:52.000 I mean, it was a rivalry for sure.

00:49:55.000 You two did not seem to like each other.

00:49:56.000 All right, listen, I feel like we're familiar enough now.

00:49:59.000 So let me toss you a bit of a curveball. 0.96

00:50:01.000 The nickname, DC, it's not really a nickname, Daniel Cormier.

00:50:06.000 It's just your initials.

00:50:07.000 Can we get something more going here?

00:50:10.000 You know, and this is what, this was my nickname when I first started fighting at Oklahoma State was, uh, Zach Esposito is the assistant coach at Oklahoma State.

00:50:20.000 When I would go in there and hit pads with my cousin, uh, he, they called me the Kung Fu Panda.

00:50:24.000 And I was like, the moment I could change that, I changed it.

00:50:28.000 The moment I... everybody else... was called... DC, DC... I can change that. I'm changing it.

00:50:40.000 I don't know. I think Kung Fu Panda's got a nice ring to it.

00:50:43.000 And I hate to tell you this, but a lot of people watch this show and you might get a few

00:50:48.000 people now saying that Kung Fu Panda, but in a nice way.

00:50:52.000 I tell you what, it's a lot better than self-given nicknames like The Dentist, The Skull Crusher, I'll take it over that, but still, I think we can do a little better.

00:51:03.000 Could you imagine Bruce Buffer, Daniel?

00:51:06.000 Kung Fu Panda! 0.71

00:51:09.000 It'd be ridiculous! 0.55

00:51:11.000 The only people that would enjoy that are my children. 0.98

00:51:13.000 Yeah, well there you go.

00:51:14.000 On your last fight, have Bruce Buffer belt it out in his shark suit and just let it rip.

00:51:19.000 Alright, listen, I know you're busy and you're there with... Wait, wait, wait.

00:51:23.000 You have no idea how much pride Bruce takes in those suits.

00:51:26.000 Those are all custom made beautifully for Bruce Buffer.

00:51:30.000 And for the bigger fights, you may find just the material is just phenomenal.

00:51:35.000 We share locker rooms when I call the fights.

00:51:37.000 And the care that Bruce takes of his suits, it is something to behold.

00:51:42.000 And there's a lot of words inside the lining.

00:51:42.000 Trust me.

00:51:45.000 Inside the lining, there are so many words.

00:51:49.000 He's got so much stuff in the lining, dude.

00:51:54.000 Like, I'm the greatest commentator of all time and I'm the gun that goes.

00:51:58.000 It's like so much in Bruce's jacket.

00:52:00.000 It's just a catchphrase. 0.82

00:52:02.000 River Wayne just gets to strip him naked and take that. 1.00

00:52:04.000 Yeah, exactly. That's that instead of the belt. 0.92

00:52:06.000 Just reminders. Don't forget to say, It's time! Got it.

00:52:10.000 Push Bruce on the ground and steal his jacket.

00:52:12.000 That would be the day that somebody like, that would be the funniest thing in the octagon.

00:52:16.000 Somebody pushes Bruce down and takes his jacket off.

00:52:18.000 Don't do it because if the Diaz brothers are listening, All right.

00:52:21.000 That is Daniel Cormier.

00:52:24.000 You can follow him on the Twitter, of course, at DC underscore MMA.

00:52:28.000 You can watch him on television everywhere.

00:52:30.000 And listen, man, every time you fight, we're rooting for you.

00:52:33.000 Me and my dad, we're huge fans.

00:52:34.000 I really appreciate you taking the time and the insight as well, man.

00:52:38.000 Thank you so much.

00:52:39.000 I appreciate you for having me.

00:52:40.000 Thank you.

00:52:41.000 Gavin McInnes after this, I think.

00:52:41.000 Be well.

00:53:45.000 Oh, baby.

00:53:46.000 You say you wanna come back to me but I don't know.

00:53:47.000 Oh, baby.

00:53:48.000 You say you wanna come back to me but I don't know.

00:53:49.000 Oh, baby.

00:53:50.000 You say you wanna come back to me but I don't know.

00:54:04.000 Oh, baby.

00:54:09.000 You say you wanna come back to me but I don't know.

00:54:21.000 This is supposed to be really hard.

00:54:23.000 But it's not that hard.

00:54:24.000 It looks like you're pretty talented at it.

00:54:27.000 You found a new skill.

00:54:27.000 Now our next guest is doing it.

00:54:28.000 It's pretty natural.

00:54:30.000 Is it pretty natural?

00:54:31.000 Yeah.

00:54:32.000 It's all natural.

00:54:32.000 Now I don't feel like I've done it.

00:54:34.000 It's all natural these days, kids.

00:54:35.000 It's all ball bearings.

00:54:36.000 Alright, at Gavin underscore McInnis.

00:54:38.000 He has a show over there at CRTV and I believe Nakia Jared is going to be on his weekend program here in the coming weeks. 0.60

00:54:44.000 Gavin McInnis, how are you, sir?

00:54:46.000 I'm great.

00:54:47.000 Not Gay Jared is on the show tomorrow night, which is exciting because I was interviewing homeless people on the street the other day and they were very excited about you, sir.

00:54:59.000 Well, there you go.

00:54:59.000 There you go.

00:55:00.000 There's something.

00:55:01.000 That's got to count for something.

00:55:01.000 There's hobos in New York City that are interested.

00:55:03.000 What were you doing with these headphones?

00:55:05.000 I have options.

00:55:06.000 Oh, I just, I interviewed people on the street for MLS and there's a, there's a popular bum in New York called the Hater Hobo.

00:55:11.000 Cause he's so mean.

00:55:12.000 Yeah.

00:55:13.000 And he was like, I love solder with Crowder, man.

00:55:16.000 Well, that's very nice.

00:55:18.000 I thought you were saying you love the not-gay Jared, which would lead to more questions. 0.72

00:55:21.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:55:22.000 It's all the same.

00:55:23.000 If you love Mike Crowder, you love an integral part of it.

00:55:25.000 If you like The Stern Show, you like Robin Quivers.

00:55:28.000 I'm not familiar with this nomenclature.

00:55:31.000 So, one thing I will say is, first, before we get to anything else, do you like your chair?

00:55:35.000 I notice we have the same chair.

00:55:37.000 Now, I used to have one of these from a long time ago.

00:55:39.000 It's a Herman Miller chair. 0.99

00:55:39.000 It used to be great, and now it sucks. 0.99

00:55:41.000 It hurts. 0.97

00:55:43.000 It hurts! 1.00

00:55:43.000 What the fuck? 1.00

00:55:44.000 Yeah! 0.99

00:55:44.000 It used to be, I had an old chair, and then they changed manufa- and now it's like there's this thing digging into my back, it's like the princess and the pea, only with, uh, herniated discs. 0.99

00:55:53.000 Oh, well, you can adjust that thing in the back. 0.73

00:55:55.000 We're speaking, of course, of the Aeon chair.

00:55:57.000 It's an $800 chair.

00:55:59.000 It's made of these mesh fibers where there's no real bottom of the chair.

00:56:02.000 It just suspends you.

00:56:03.000 When you fart, it goes through the mesh and into the atmosphere.

00:56:06.000 That's its primary purpose, but they won't put it in the brochure, but everyone knows that's why you buy it.

00:56:11.000 Alright, listen, so have you been following us, the Bonobos, the Toxic Masculinity video that's been circulating here this week?

00:56:19.000 I probably have.

00:56:21.000 I have a bad frontal lobe, but my back lobe is probably very familiar with it.

00:56:25.000 You have a tremendous right.

00:56:26.000 Okay, we're gonna show a clip just to refresh your memory and then get your thoughts.

00:56:30.000 Let's go real quick.

00:56:31.000 Masculine.

00:56:32.000 Adjective.

00:56:33.000 Having qualities or appearance traditionally associated with men.

00:56:37.000 Especially strength and aggressiveness.

00:56:40.000 Some of the synonyms are... Macho.

00:56:42.000 Manly.

00:56:43.000 Muscular.

00:56:44.000 Red-blooded. 0.89

00:56:45.000 My goodness.

00:56:47.000 Strapping.

00:56:47.000 Strong.

00:56:48.000 Brawny.

00:56:49.000 Powerful.

00:56:50.000 None of these really sound like me.

00:56:52.000 I think that's what gets us in trouble, is when we say that there's only one way to be a man.

00:56:57.000 So many individuals, they try and fit, and it just gets to a point where it's too much.

00:57:02.000 Where they are doing harm to each other.

00:57:05.000 So you're probably familiar with it now.

00:57:07.000 A couple of things here.

00:57:09.000 I noticed some serious asymmetry going on there.

00:57:12.000 And Nary, a real man in the group, I know this is a hot topic of yours.

00:57:16.000 Did you have a seizure when this occurred?

00:57:20.000 Yeah, I had a seizure inside, an internal seizure, but I'm such a real man that I can keep that to myself and not show it outwardly.

00:57:27.000 Okay.

00:57:28.000 Listen to some of those adjectives, too, that they have a problem with.

00:57:31.000 Strong.

00:57:32.000 Men are meant to be strong.

00:57:33.000 I'm not strong.

00:57:34.000 Well, then you're letting us down.

00:57:36.000 It's like beautiful.

00:57:37.000 I know women are not all supermodels, but every woman wants to be pretty. 0.99

00:57:42.000 We have this new reinventing the wheel where there's no rules and a 400-pound woman with It burns all over her face. 1.00

00:57:49.000 It's just as pretty as the top supermodel.

00:57:51.000 No.

00:57:52.000 Hold on a second.

00:57:52.000 The burns, I don't think we should toss into the same boat.

00:57:55.000 That might be out of her control, especially if she serves. 1.00

00:57:57.000 But the 400 pounds, I'll go with you.

00:58:00.000 Within that person's control or not is irrelevant.

00:58:03.000 The point is that some people are prettier than others.

00:58:05.000 Some women are more feminine than others. 1.00

00:58:07.000 Some men are more manly than others.

00:58:09.000 You can't just throw out the whole definition.

00:58:11.000 Or there's nothing to aspire to.

00:58:13.000 I didn't so much find it funny that they had a problem with strong, but red-blooded. 0.77

00:58:17.000 Red-blooded. 0.89

00:58:19.000 I mean, we're getting a little loose with what gets tossed under the umbrella here.

00:58:23.000 None of these things describe me.

00:58:25.000 You're reptilian?

00:58:26.000 What's happening right now? 0.60

00:58:27.000 The conspiratorial YouTube of the Illuminati, right?

00:58:31.000 They're going nuts.

00:58:32.000 Yeah, this is... And one thing too, Gammon, I know you've talked about this, and obviously people get mad when you discuss it and there's a controversy, but the reality is no one expects all men to be all these things.

00:58:41.000 Like you said, they are just good qualities.

00:58:44.000 That being said, the left doesn't see strength as a good quality.

00:58:47.000 They see it as a bad thing.

00:58:48.000 Well, they're goals.

00:58:49.000 They're goals, and the modern man is a socialist little wimp, and what he does is sit at home all day and be soft, and he's probably the child of a single mom, and he gets a mani and a pedi, and I would say, at least between, you know, millennials and young men today, that's actually the norm.

00:59:06.000 The whole, like, strong, red-blooded, I'm tough, I don't cry, Uh, you know, I want to date hot chicks and party.

00:59:13.000 I think that's becoming a minority.

00:59:15.000 So those guys we just saw are actually the oppressors there.

00:59:20.000 They're the ones getting people fired. 0.96

00:59:21.000 They're the ones making everyone uncomfortable.

00:59:23.000 The real man is kind of gone.

00:59:25.000 Well, I don't even... Listen, obviously, I don't so much care right now.

00:59:28.000 There's this pick-up culture, the hot chicks and party, but we are talking about a young generation of men who aren't learning how to be fathers, how to be good husbands, how to be good leaders of their community.

00:59:37.000 You know, this is a big... I don't know if you heard Barack Obama's speech recently.

00:59:40.000 Where was he?

00:59:40.000 He was abroad.

00:59:41.000 He was in South Africa.

00:59:42.000 South Africa, that's right.

00:59:43.000 And he said, you know, I know it's easy to think that democracy is gone and it's been given over to the strong man.

00:59:48.000 Something along those lines.

00:59:49.000 I'm going, well, hold on a second.

00:59:51.000 There's nothing wrong with a strong man.

00:59:53.000 There's something wrong with a strong evil man, because the evil is amplified.

00:59:57.000 But you want a couple strong good men to keep them in check, but the left sees strength as a negative.

01:00:02.000 Kind of like the tranny at Juiceland we confronted. 1.00

01:00:04.000 This person threatened, plotted to slash our tires, but they listed I was 6'2", therefore I'm wrong!

01:00:09.000 You must run into this all the time with your growing beard.

01:00:12.000 I saw that, yeah.

01:00:13.000 The Obama clip was Obama saying, men are kind of getting on my nerves these days.

01:00:18.000 I think he was talking about me.

01:00:18.000 That's a different one. There was one where he was talking about the strong democracy given over to the strongman.

01:00:23.000 We've had darker days.

01:00:24.000 Yeah, we've had darker days, but still, you know.

01:00:27.000 He used the term strongman as a pejorative. 0.89

01:00:29.000 He's a vile human being, isn't he? 0.92

01:00:32.000 Yeah, I don't like him. 0.73

01:00:34.000 Now, I think this whole, like, don't cry and all that stuff, I think it started in the 70s.

01:00:40.000 There was like this, it's all right to cry.

01:00:43.000 And that culture in the 70s was like, don't beat up a kid because he's effeminate and don't bully kids because they appear to be gay.

01:00:50.000 And they had a point in the 70s.

01:00:52.000 But the pendulum has swung so far the other way that now it's bullying people who seem too masculine and being ashamed of being male.

01:01:00.000 And every time there's a college student answering a question in college, he has to get up and say, Hi, I know I come from a place of privilege and I'm a white male and I'm cisgendered, but I just think that, you know, these qualifiers they have to give.

01:01:12.000 So it's become taboo to be a proud male.

01:01:15.000 But here's the secret.

01:01:16.000 The patriarchy, this tough guy thing, built the Western world.

01:01:20.000 Nowhere are gays and women and everyone else safer.

01:01:23.000 So don't get rid of the patriarchy or you'll end up with something much worse.

01:01:28.000 Yeah.

01:01:29.000 ISIS?

01:01:30.000 Yes, it's two options. 0.97

01:01:32.000 Either the liberals take over and you've got 300 genders and you've got trans prisoners molesting women in jail and all kinds of pedophile fights. 0.85

01:01:40.000 For people who don't know, this is an actual story that we just covered today.

01:01:42.000 He's not speaking out of turn, yes.

01:01:45.000 Or secondly, you get the opposite and you have the fascists take over, the islamicists, And you have Sharia law, like we're seeing in Luton in England, like we saw in Iran. 0.76

01:01:56.000 So, it's lose-lose.

01:01:58.000 Ladies, I know you don't like it when daddy says it's bedtime and you gotta eat your vegetables, but trust me, at least you have vegetables in a bed. 1.00

01:02:04.000 You wouldn't have that without us.

01:02:06.000 There's someone in Venezuela right now going, I WOULD KILL FOR VEGETABLES! 1.00

01:02:09.000 And you know what? 0.99

01:02:11.000 A good example of that, you just talked about Islamists.

01:02:14.000 And Sharia law.

01:02:15.000 And we're talking about strongmen.

01:02:17.000 Dr. Ben Carson caught so much flak.

01:02:19.000 He took a strong stance.

01:02:21.000 Now you can't think of someone who sounds more meek than Dr. Ben Carson.

01:02:25.000 And he just said, I don't believe in Sharia law and the Constitution.

01:02:28.000 I think they're incompatible.

01:02:30.000 That was a negative to the left because that was a position of strength.

01:02:33.000 We're not talking about Arnold or muscles.

01:02:35.000 We're talking about strength of character.

01:02:37.000 And they still pounce on you, even if you're Dr. Ben Carson.

01:02:40.000 So why hide it?

01:02:42.000 Well, Trump came along and he said, what do you, I can't call them anchor babies.

01:02:46.000 What do you want me to call them?

01:02:47.000 Uh, undocumented workers of civil society. 0.98

01:02:49.000 And then he goes, I'm saying anchor baby.

01:02:51.000 And this whole like, that's really what Trump's 2018.

01:02:56.000 That's, that's what the new America is about.

01:02:58.000 Just like, no, we're not listening to you anymore.

01:03:00.000 We're not doing your bathrooms. 0.99

01:03:01.000 We're not doing any of your crazy ideas.

01:03:04.000 We're not calling this racist or that racist or bowing to France for climate change and making sure that we keep our carbon footprint as small as possible.

01:03:12.000 We're not playing any of your games anymore.

01:03:15.000 And that's why the left is so apoplectic.

01:03:17.000 That's why Trump derangement syndrome is so huge.

01:03:19.000 Because they go, wait a minute!

01:03:21.000 I need you to play along with my games.

01:03:23.000 I need you to recognize that you're evil and slavery and you stole everything from the Indians. 1.00

01:03:27.000 If you take that away, I got nothing.

01:03:29.000 Yeah.

01:03:30.000 And we're saying, you got nothing.

01:03:32.000 Well, I think this is kind of a theme today.

01:03:35.000 Ingratitude is a really crippling problem, and you see that from the left.

01:03:38.000 A good example would be a parent wanting to teach their son, hey, when your dog dies, when grandpa dies, it's okay to cry.

01:03:44.000 You want to teach them it's okay for a young man to cry when it's appropriate. 0.89

01:03:46.000 But then they have a teacher going, no, no, no.

01:03:48.000 It's okay to cry whenever, so you can't bestow the grace upon the kid letting him know when it's appropriate, this is okay, because all bets are off!

01:03:56.000 From the left, just like, well, hold on a second, daddy will give you a cookie, and the left goes, there should be only cookies on meals all the time! 0.62

01:04:02.000 And then there's no grace.

01:04:03.000 And it's, we're importing that culture too, I call them immigrants, where these immigrants come here and they won't shut up about how much this country sucks, and you go, A, You're wrong, and it's way better than yours. 0.98

01:04:15.000 Like that woman who climbed the Statue of Liberty, she's from the Congo. 1.00

01:04:18.000 You know what's going on in the Congo? 0.98

01:04:20.000 I'm not sure I can say it on your show, but soldiers are making children rape their mothers. 0.99

01:04:24.000 Oh, you just did. 1.00

01:04:25.000 They were beheading dozens of their enemy and putting the heads in a giant pile. 0.81

01:04:30.000 Then she comes here and she goes, this place is barbaric! 0.58

01:04:33.000 Oh, really?

01:04:34.000 How about a thank you?

01:04:36.000 How about you go back to the place that made the worst movie of all time? 0.99

01:04:39.000 White gorillas? 0.98

01:04:40.000 Really?

01:04:41.000 With laser guns?

01:04:42.000 I've had enough of this.

01:04:43.000 No, but I think you're absolutely... The only reason I remember that film was because I looked forward to it so much.

01:04:48.000 I had all the cups and stuff and Burger King and the watches and Congo was so bad.

01:04:52.000 All right, you know what?

01:04:53.000 We do have to get going here really soon.

01:04:55.000 Not Gay Jared is going to be on Gavin McGinnis' show this weekend at Gavin underscore McGinnis, and people can sign up at CRTV, right Gavin?

01:05:02.000 Yes, that is the case.

01:05:03.000 Where's your mug?

01:05:04.000 I thought you had a mug.

01:05:06.000 Oh, it didn't catch on as well as someone else's mug, so I kind of let it fall by the wayside.

01:05:12.000 All right, we'll fix that in post.

01:05:13.000 Gavin, thank you very much.

01:05:14.000 Hope you've had your shots. 0.82

01:05:15.000 Not Gay Jared's coming your way. 1.00

01:05:16.000 We'll wrap this up.

01:05:17.000 After this, I like you more than a friend.

01:05:23.000 And now for Hopper Proverbs.

01:05:26.000 Sponsored exclusively by Mug Club.

01:05:30.000 It is said that tall fences make friendly neighbors. 0.98

01:05:35.000 Unless your neighbor is a squirrel because they can crawl on the fence and they won't chase them but they can stay up on the fence and those guys are dorks. 0.93

01:05:46.000 Stay tuned for more Hopper Proverbs. 0.72

01:05:48.000 Sponsored by Mug Club.

01:05:51.000 Sponsored by Mug Club.

01:05:56.000 So, I'm gonna go ahead and start the video.

01:06:18.000 That's called the medium rare.

01:06:40.000 Just a classic drowning dance, because when you have such a fine cut of meat, sometimes you don't need to doctor it up.

01:06:45.000 Sometimes you just go with a classic drowning dance.

01:06:48.000 This is called, there's still... Blood.

01:06:51.000 There's still blood from the wrong buns.

01:06:52.000 Blame Mamma Mia. 1.00

01:06:53.000 Yep.

01:06:54.000 Blame the Mamma Mia. 1.00

01:06:55.000 Well we're good though, right? Good though.

01:06:57.000 I hope we have him back on the show.

01:06:58.000 I hope so too.

01:06:59.000 And Gavin McInnes.

01:07:00.000 Yeah, go watch Daniel Cormier fight. 0.98

01:07:03.000 It's like a bad out of hell slash little Black ball of hate. 1.00

01:07:07.000 He looks very, very angry when he fights. 0.98

01:07:09.000 He really is a sight to behold.

01:07:11.000 And man, doing that at 39 years old, that's pretty inspirational. 0.99

01:07:14.000 One thing I've noticed, it's kind of a funny trend, of all the MMA and UFC fighters you've had on the show, none of them are like jerks off air.

01:07:21.000 You think those are the most toxic, patriarchal people on the planet, but they're always just the most down to earth, really nice, Guys you'd feel very comfortable being around.

01:07:32.000 They're not the bullies on the playground.

01:07:34.000 Well, with the exception of a couple, they were people who were bullied.

01:07:37.000 George St.

01:07:38.000 Pierre was bullied.

01:07:39.000 He talked about it.

01:07:40.000 I don't know if Daniel Cormier has talked about that so much, but a lot of the lighter weight classes, a lot of these guys were bullied.

01:07:45.000 They're not people who like to wield power uselessly.

01:07:47.000 When was the last time you heard about Daniel Cormier beating up someone who was smaller than him?

01:07:50.000 I would like to see that.

01:07:51.000 Yeah, well, he does it professionally.

01:07:53.000 Except they're usually bigger than him.

01:07:55.000 But typically speaking, the ego is in check.

01:07:57.000 It's kind of like...

01:08:01.000 You're so exhausted.

01:08:01.000 When you've had such a productive day, you're so exhausted, you don't have the energy to be mad.

01:08:05.000 You know what I mean?

01:08:06.000 Yeah, or like if you do music for a living, the last thing you want to do is go home and just fiddle around for your own pleasure.

01:08:11.000 Well, no, I don't mean it in that way.

01:08:12.000 I mean in the sense that they've expended all of their egotistical energy in the gym, getting their asses kicked by other people who are better than them, knowing their role, that by the time they come home, all that ego is out of them. 0.94

01:08:23.000 They've had it beaten out of them. 0.89

01:08:25.000 It does happen.

01:08:25.000 That's why I say it's good for everyone to take up something new that you're not good at.

01:08:29.000 Take it up.

01:08:30.000 Try it.

01:08:30.000 Challenge yourself.

01:08:31.000 I talk about that all the time.

01:08:32.000 And then something else, I really appreciate how candid he was about his anxiety.

01:08:37.000 Because you know me before shows, I've always been that way.

01:08:40.000 Even when we did SMU, we had thousands of people and I just thought, oh my gosh, what's going to go wrong?

01:08:46.000 It's just the nature.

01:08:47.000 It's how I am.

01:08:48.000 Some people don't feel that way.

01:08:50.000 And I don't think it helps.

01:08:51.000 Especially with our show, because there's just so many more things that can go wrong.

01:08:53.000 Yeah, so many things that can go wrong.

01:08:56.000 Most regular comedians.

01:08:57.000 Like the insurance writer not going through.

01:08:59.000 Like that one.

01:09:00.000 For the several hundred thousand dollars worth of equipment.

01:09:02.000 That was a big deal.

01:09:03.000 Life insurance not coming through for you.

01:09:05.000 But there's a big difference between gratitude and false humility.

01:09:07.000 And you see a guy like him, he talks about how grateful he is to his family.

01:09:10.000 He's not just blowing smokes, and my family has made me great.

01:09:12.000 My team has made me great.

01:09:13.000 Thanks to the guy upstairs kind of thing.

01:09:15.000 Yeah, exactly.

01:09:16.000 He means it, and he's not saying, well, you know, I'm okay.

01:09:19.000 No, no, he's like, I'm the baddest man on the planet, but you know what, it's because of these people.

01:09:23.000 And that really is, when I talk about gratitude, and I've talked about this a lot, I will tell you, my entire life changes when I'm living in gratitude.

01:09:29.000 So when people, a couple of them have been pretty, some tough love at the end of this program.

01:09:33.000 It's like, well, can you go back to, okay, here's something that everyone can do, and it will change your life.

01:09:39.000 Gratitude.

01:09:40.000 And I mean it in a very practical way.

01:09:42.000 Being ungrateful closes doors.

01:09:44.000 Being grateful opens doors.

01:09:46.000 I'll give you some very specific examples so you can understand it, but I told this story a while back and it resonated with some people.

01:09:51.000 Grace is something that I think a lot of people don't understand today.

01:09:55.000 I talked about this when I was a kid.

01:09:59.000 My parents took us to Toys R Us.

01:10:01.000 Remember where it was?

01:10:02.000 It was across from the Panama bus station in Brossard, next to Checkswing, where there was a guy who looked like the real-life Simpsons comic book.

01:10:08.000 Worst film ever.

01:10:09.000 He looked just like him, and it was a comic book store.

01:10:12.000 So I went to this Toys R Us store, and it must have been a budget of $15 each, I think.

01:10:16.000 $10, $15, you can pick out a toy, my brother and I.

01:10:20.000 And we went in, and what did we get?

01:10:21.000 We got creepy crawlers.

01:10:24.000 Man, we pooled together to get creepy crawlers.

01:10:26.000 We thought this was going to be the commercials.

01:10:27.000 Remember?

01:10:27.000 There's squirmy and wormy and creepy and green.

01:10:30.000 And the dad had it on his rocking chair.

01:10:33.000 Look it up, and the kid's like, got him!

01:10:35.000 I wanted so badly to put a spider on my dad and him to go, ah!

01:10:38.000 So were those translated into French for you growing up?

01:10:40.000 Did you ever watch those in French?

01:10:41.000 Because I think that would be entertaining.

01:10:42.000 I want to see that.

01:10:44.000 I don't know.

01:10:45.000 They probably did exist.

01:10:46.000 It sounds sad for some reason, I think.

01:10:48.000 You know, French, they tend to be really over-the-top, so I don't know how you over-the-top a kid's commercial. 1.00

01:10:52.000 Yeah, that's why I'm so curious.

01:10:54.000 Maybe the dad would have been a transgender. 1.00

01:10:55.000 I don't know.

01:10:56.000 That's how they would have done it.

01:10:57.000 So we left with the creepy crawlers, and we were so excited, we were thrilled.

01:11:01.000 And I still feel bad about this to this day.

01:11:03.000 I don't know, my dad and my mom are watching.

01:11:05.000 They may not remember, but I felt really, really bad about it.

01:11:07.000 So we went back to our car and we found out we just had the molds.

01:11:12.000 We didn't have the machine.

01:11:14.000 So it must have been $15, because I remember the machine very specifically was $49.99.

01:11:16.000 I remember that.

01:11:20.000 They had to, they said, they had to take us back in and return it because we couldn't, they were just the molds, because we couldn't afford the Creepy Crawlers machine.

01:11:27.000 Now we had some periods in our life where we did really well and we had some periods of life when I look back that, you know, my parents struggled and I didn't maybe understand it or fully appreciate it.

01:11:36.000 This would have been one of those times.

01:11:38.000 And I remember going back in and being a brat, being upset, can't we get the, listen, if they could have gotten me the Creepy Crawlers, I'm sure they would have. 0.94

01:11:46.000 We weren't trying to screw you. 0.82

01:11:48.000 No, they weren't. 0.67

01:11:49.000 Here's the thing. 0.98

01:11:50.000 I was being a spoiled little jackass and they were already being gracious. 0.96

01:11:54.000 They were being gracious and taking me to Toys R Us to get me a toy. 0.92

01:11:58.000 They didn't have to do that, but because I wanted something more and I wasn't grateful, they didn't want to do that for me.

01:12:05.000 Do you think after that I got more trips to Toys R Us or less?

01:12:08.000 Probably less.

01:12:09.000 I went through a dry spell there.

01:12:10.000 Looking back, now I know why.

01:12:12.000 Those cold showers.

01:12:14.000 And I remember, here's something else, too.

01:12:15.000 I went back in, and we had to get Stretch Armstrong, and he had a wiener dog.

01:12:18.000 I don't remember his name.

01:12:19.000 But they were mini ones, because we couldn't afford the big Stretch Armstrong.

01:12:23.000 And mine broke right away.

01:12:24.000 The Stretch Armstrong, the arms just tore right off.

01:12:26.000 But my brother, our producer, Johnny, you know, I grew up with him.

01:12:29.000 In high school, when we met him, junior high, He saw the wiener dog toy because it became one of our favorite toys.

01:12:35.000 Stretch Armstrong's little wiener dog toy.

01:12:37.000 It would stretch out and it was really cool and it was a wiener dog so it was funny.

01:12:40.000 All the jokes.

01:12:42.000 And if, just because, if we'd have had our way, if we'd have had what we deserved, We would have never experienced a toilet that ended up being creepy crawlers, came and went, and that wiener dog was in the house until my brother went to college, I believe.

01:12:53.000 But think about that.

01:12:54.000 Sometimes grace is more than you deserve.

01:12:59.000 And if you're ungrateful for it, man, do you close the door.

01:13:01.000 You see, like the teacher's unions.

01:13:02.000 What if we want 20%?

01:13:04.000 What if they were willing to give you 8%?

01:13:07.000 Do you think they're more likely or less likely to help you?

01:13:10.000 When you have an attitude that is ungrateful, I will tell you this all the time, how often have you had friends or family who you help out because you want to?

01:13:19.000 I think we actually know, we've talked about this, but then you have the friend, the family member, who always wants something from you.

01:13:25.000 Do you want to help him?

01:13:26.000 Not as much.

01:13:27.000 You're probably giving him less than the people who aren't asking it.

01:13:31.000 Yeah, it's not about justice at that point, it's just the natural reaction of your heart inside that says, like, well, you just gotta close that door a little bit.

01:13:39.000 And the point with grace, if you want to receive grace, and we learn this as Christians, right?

01:13:43.000 If you want to receive grace, you have to be grateful, first off.

01:13:46.000 Right?

01:13:47.000 And it's something that the person receiving the grace doesn't get to dictate the terms of the grace.

01:13:51.000 We said tolerance isn't enough.

01:13:53.000 I want you to promote my lifestyle.

01:13:54.000 Listen, I'm fine with you doing what you want to do, but I'm not going to put your flag up.

01:13:59.000 Well, I'm going to champion my cause in the Senate. 0.99

01:14:03.000 Do you think I think you're more of a dick or less? 0.98

01:14:05.000 You think you're helping your cause? 1.00

01:14:07.000 This is what happens.

01:14:08.000 You overreach.

01:14:09.000 You're not grateful for what you have.

01:14:10.000 Take your pick.

01:14:11.000 People do not want to help you.

01:14:14.000 It closes doors and you'll never know.

01:14:16.000 That's the worst part, is you'll never know that the doors are closed.

01:14:18.000 You could take, I don't know, some people out there, you know, we have a lot of young people who listen.

01:14:21.000 You have the teacher's unions.

01:14:23.000 Maybe there's someone else.

01:14:23.000 You go in and you want a raise.

01:14:26.000 Great.

01:14:27.000 Most bosses aren't looking to screw you.

01:14:28.000 So you go in and you have a boss who wants to give you a 15% raise.

01:14:32.000 But you asked for 60.

01:14:33.000 Now I'm just, I'm using an absurd example.

01:14:35.000 No one goes and asks for a 60% raise.

01:14:36.000 Let's call it 30.

01:14:37.000 And the boss goes... So yeah, I was feeling a little emboldened.

01:14:40.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:14:41.000 Okay, 60.

01:14:41.000 Let's call it 45.

01:14:43.000 The boss will sit back and go, huh.

01:14:46.000 Wow.

01:14:47.000 I was really excited to give, I was really excited to give that kid the creepy crawlers.

01:14:50.000 I was really excited to give him a Stretch Armstrong.

01:14:52.000 But instead, because he's ungrateful and demanded more, now I'm going to give him nothing.

01:14:56.000 That happens more often than you know, and you cannot know.

01:14:59.000 But what I do know is when I wake up, and I do every day, gratitude.

01:15:04.000 The first thing I do is, even when I was very unhealthy, thank you for the relative health that I do have.

01:15:10.000 I am grateful for this house.

01:15:11.000 I am grateful for my wife.

01:15:13.000 I am grateful for my family.

01:15:14.000 I am grateful for the support of friends.

01:15:16.000 I am grateful for the meal bars that I eat in the morning that only have four ingredients.

01:15:20.000 They're hard to chew, but they're delicious and nutritious.

01:15:21.000 I am grateful for all those little things, and it changes my life.

01:15:25.000 You will have better relationships with your wife, with your family.

01:15:28.000 You will do better in the workplace.

01:15:30.000 You will find people react to you differently.

01:15:32.000 I'm not saying change your personality, but if you can add that, add that facet to your personality.

01:15:37.000 Gratitude.

01:15:39.000 It makes all the difference, because then everyone else wants to bestow grace upon you. 0.92

01:15:43.000 When you're an ungrateful little pissant, nobody wants to. 0.90

01:15:46.000 It's like the spoiled kid at the party. 0.97

01:15:47.000 No one wants the kid who's great, the kid who's a lot of fun.

01:15:49.000 Everyone's like, hey, high-fiving your kid's great.

01:15:51.000 Let me have him on my knee. 0.53

01:15:52.000 Give him a little nip of scotch.

01:15:54.000 That's what my grandfather did with me.

01:15:55.000 He couldn't stand other kids, because they wouldn't drink the scotch, because they were not grateful for the fine liquor that my grandpapa Armand, on my maternal side, would bestow upon me.

01:16:06.000 That's the lesson.
