Louder with Crowder - The REAL COVID-19 Numbers! | #6 Good Morning MugClub

00:00:00.000 Oh, with all the slurping Good morning!

00:00:13.000 Good morning, Mug Club!

00:00:17.000 That's a copyright violation.

00:00:20.000 How dare you, Steve.

00:00:21.000 We need to file a hard strike.

00:00:22.000 That's a trademark. 1.00

00:00:24.000 Ho-ho, big penis. 1.00

00:00:25.000 That's the kind of stuff he says. 1.00

00:00:26.000 I can't say that.

00:00:27.000 Really glad to have you today.

00:00:29.000 We have no guests because we realize that a lot of people in Good Morning Mug Club don't want guests.

00:00:33.000 Well, that's weird of them.

00:00:34.000 My half-Asian lawyer, Bill Richman, is here.

00:00:36.000 And look, right next to him, there is Gibbon.

00:00:38.000 How are you, Gibbon?

00:00:41.000 Great.

00:00:42.000 Tell them what your race is.

00:00:44.000 So I am Norwegian, Danish, Welsh, and one quarter... Remember how I said relax?

00:00:48.000 Relax.

00:00:49.000 Bring the mic to him.

00:00:50.000 He's like, I am partially Welsh, like the lady from Frasier.

00:00:56.000 Apology accepted.

00:00:58.000 We'll go back to you.

00:00:58.000 It's OK.

00:00:59.000 Loosen up.

00:01:18.000 We do have some information that I've stumbled upon that no one else seems to be talking about.

00:01:22.000 They seem to have missed.

00:01:23.000 I know it's hard to trust a guy in a bathrobe. 0.63

00:02:04.000 I said it ease!

00:02:08.000 Alright, look, Stephen, I'm here because I'm a quarter Okinawan.

00:02:12.000 Okay, that's right.

00:02:14.000 I thought it was Italian for the longest time.

00:02:16.000 Quarter Okinawans. 0.61

00:02:17.000 So how did that, is there like a military history in your family?

00:02:19.000 Is that how it happened?

00:02:19.000 Hey, hey, hey, you know, even if you didn't know Gerald's name, And all you heard was Gerald's voice.

00:02:26.000 And even if you didn't hear his voice and you just saw a transcript of that question, you would know Gerald was an old white guy.

00:02:32.000 I get that question all the time.

00:02:35.000 Is your dad in the military?

00:02:37.000 Was your dad in the military?

00:02:38.000 Was he stationed?

00:02:39.000 No, he smoked a lot of weed.

00:02:40.000 Let Gibbon answer!

00:02:42.000 What's your answer, Gibbon?

00:02:43.000 That said, yes, Gerald is correct.

00:02:46.000 Thank you very much!

00:02:49.000 Reg, our researcher, is giving me new updates.

00:02:51.000 That's enough, Reg.

00:02:52.000 You don't need to give me the updates from all the news.

00:02:53.000 Right now he's, like, adding in.

00:02:55.000 It's like on Ferris Bueller when it changes the absent days down to nine.

00:03:00.000 Grace! 0.93

00:03:01.000 So, uh, I guess right now there is, uh, we can bring this up too, cute Maddie.

00:03:05.000 CBS just posted an article that New York City has to dig mass burial pits for everyone who's died from COVID.

00:03:11.000 What?

00:03:12.000 So, I guess their tweet doesn't claim it.

00:03:15.000 Yeah, we've got the tweet.

00:03:16.000 But it's trending under Trump burial pits.

00:03:18.000 What was that?

00:03:19.000 It was just a little something.

00:03:21.000 Alright, get that right or someone's going to be collecting double the checks because you'll be unemployed so you'll make more money.

00:03:27.000 Yeah, that's not the worst.

00:03:29.000 We got it?

00:03:29.000 Do we have it up right now?

00:03:30.000 Yeah, we have the video from the tweet.

00:03:33.000 There we go.

00:03:33.000 Do we have it?

00:03:33.000 Let me see it.

00:03:34.000 Go ahead and play it.

00:03:36.000 We're doing burial pits.

00:03:42.000 Right, so to be clear, Heart Island is actually where any unclaimed bodies without necks of kin are buried, regardless of what they die from.

00:03:49.000 So they've been using it for this purpose since 1881.

00:03:52.000 Around a million people are buried there.

00:03:54.000 So I just want to be clear, you can kind of hear a portion of the story with COVID, but not the entirety of it, certainly not the context, and that matters.

00:04:02.000 So we're going to get to the death rates, and I want to talk about this quite a bit because everyone just got really quiet.

00:04:07.000 Death is fine!

00:04:08.000 Death is funny, not death from COVID, but the fact that they're lying about it and we're going to catch them is funny.

00:04:14.000 That is funny, you're right.

00:04:15.000 Your dad told me one time, he's like, nobody's getting out of here alive.

00:04:17.000 I'm like, that's good.

00:04:18.000 That's a horrible argument.

00:04:19.000 That's a good way to put it.

00:04:20.000 Yeah, no, it's not a good way to put it, because I'm not going to get out of here alive, but I would rather get out of here, like, have 85 years before I get out of here.

00:04:28.000 Exactly!

00:04:28.000 He didn't say now.

00:04:30.000 Yeah, I know, but you didn't timestamp it right.

00:04:31.000 This is a terrible start to the show.

00:04:33.000 So before we move on to the death rates and Rhett and Link and a couple of other things today, Gibbon, we had no idea.

00:04:40.000 I thought he was Italian for like nine months.

00:04:43.000 And Bill Richmond is half Asian.

00:04:45.000 But it turns out, I noticed the other day when we were doing the Janki video game livestream, Gibbon was, I mean, I turned to you, I said, man, you got some sun.

00:04:53.000 You need to put on some aloe vera. 0.91

00:04:55.000 And I was like, crap, there's a shortage. 0.93

00:04:56.000 And then I realized, no, he just had half a beer. 0.99

00:05:01.000 Right?

00:05:01.000 Yes.

00:05:02.000 Okay, so we want to test this because race is not imaginary, it's real, and so this morning we are going to lead this off and have a countdown timer to see how long it takes to get to the point of Rosacea.

00:05:15.000 it's time for our in-studio Asian Rosé shot.

00:05:18.000 Okay, good.

00:05:28.000 So now, half-Asian Bill Richmond is by the way- This is real alcohol. 0.85

00:05:31.000 We are taking your chat live on the Blaze as well, so let us know who you think is going to Rosé Schaff first.

00:05:40.000 How would that happen, a face-off film with Nick Cage and John Travolta?

00:05:43.000 I have no idea.

00:05:45.000 I'm gonna take my face off!

00:05:48.000 We've got some bourbon here.

00:05:50.000 So we're gonna do some bourbon.

00:05:52.000 Did you both pour it?

00:05:53.000 It's both poured.

00:05:55.000 We have it.

00:05:55.000 Alright, ready?

00:05:56.000 Drink it right now.

00:05:57.000 And then do we have a timer?

00:05:59.000 Do we have a timer for the audience?

00:06:00.000 Someone set a stopwatch if we don't have a timer for the audience.

00:06:03.000 Set a stopwatch so we can check.

00:06:04.000 They've got a countdown.

00:06:06.000 We'll use that for now.

00:06:07.000 That's just a countdown.

00:06:08.000 We'll roll through it if we have to.

00:06:09.000 Five minutes.

00:06:10.000 Drink it.

00:06:11.000 All of it.

00:06:12.000 All of it.

00:06:12.000 Liquor in the morning is good.

00:06:15.000 Liquor in the morning is good.

00:06:17.000 Are we doing more?

00:06:19.000 Well, he said he thinks that he might keel over dead pretty quickly.

00:06:22.000 Wow.

00:06:22.000 Can I just have more?

00:06:24.000 Yeah, you can have more.

00:06:24.000 I feel like 30 years from now it's going to be therapy.

00:06:26.000 Just keep in mind you have to get on the phone with a YouTuber Google later.

00:06:30.000 I don't want to be the one carrying that weight.

00:06:32.000 And by the way, for reference, we're going to have a color scale that will compare to my feet.

00:06:38.000 We're doing that again?

00:06:39.000 Stop.

00:06:40.000 That is disgusting. 0.98

00:06:41.000 Let's see if you're more red than my foot. 0.99

00:06:44.000 Oh boy.

00:06:44.000 This is terrible.

00:06:45.000 Do people even understand why your foot was glistening?

00:06:48.000 I talked about it yesterday.

00:06:48.000 Yeah, I have my foot in an ice bath right now.

00:06:50.000 You did?

00:06:50.000 Yes.

00:06:51.000 And Gerald gave me horrible medical advice.

00:06:52.000 I found out afterward that you are not supposed to keep it in the pool of ice for more than 10 minutes. 0.98

00:06:56.000 And you're like, that's bullcrap! 0.96

00:06:58.000 You don't know anything about anything. 0.98

00:06:59.000 Every trainer in America is telling you you're wrong.

00:07:01.000 Let's talk about the death rates.

00:07:02.000 Have you guys been following this?

00:07:03.000 I have, yes.

00:07:04.000 I lost sleep over this, by the way.

00:07:06.000 And I want to know, this is something I'm very curious about to people out there, how many people watching right now, does anyone have coronavirus?

00:07:13.000 Do you have any of you actually contracted COVID-19?

00:07:15.000 I forget the number sometimes, like what are we on?

00:07:18.000 Are we on 22 now?

00:07:19.000 We're still on 19.

00:07:22.000 And do you know anyone who's died from coronavirus?

00:07:24.000 I want to know people out there.

00:07:25.000 This is anecdotal, but of course we see the data and sometimes you don't, you know, you don't realize what's going on until you see how it affects Real folks.

00:07:34.000 Name that movie line, people out there.

00:07:36.000 But I'm going to say something here. 0.97

00:07:38.000 The death stats that you're getting are bullcrap.

00:07:40.000 Now, I want 2 Cute Maddie to search this because this is a story that's going around everywhere in the morning.

00:07:44.000 You guys have heard they're undoubtedly under-counting deaths.

00:07:47.000 They're saying there are probably more deaths than we know about.

00:07:49.000 Can you bring this up 2 Cute Maddie?

00:07:50.000 Yeah, run the search.

00:07:52.000 If you run that search that's in there.

00:07:54.000 COVID deaths under-reported.

00:07:56.000 Let's just type in that.

00:07:57.000 COVID deaths under-reported.

00:07:59.000 And I ran the search this morning.

00:08:00.000 Yep.

00:08:01.000 Okay.

00:08:01.000 There you go.

00:08:02.000 Nothing but articles about how it is underreported, how there are more deaths than we know.

00:08:06.000 Here are a couple of things that we need to keep in mind.

00:08:08.000 Okay?

00:08:09.000 And everyone knows this.

00:08:11.000 The original projection was 2.5 million.

00:08:13.000 Then Fauci just admitted that the projection of 100,000 and 240,000 was an overestimate.

00:08:19.000 And now it's about 60,000.

00:08:20.000 Now, keep in mind some people are arguing, well, that's because of social distancing.

00:08:23.000 No, no, no, no, no.

00:08:24.000 The estimate was 100,000 to 240,000 taking into account social distancing.

00:08:29.000 That that would reduce it to that number.

00:08:31.000 And keep in mind that a huge portion of the social distancing wasn't supposed to have an impact yet.

00:08:35.000 Wasn't supposed to kick in because there were a lot of people who were carriers or who were asymptomatic.

00:08:39.000 So, you cannot have it both ways.

00:08:42.000 That's important to note.

00:08:43.000 Here's something else.

00:08:44.000 While we're talking about this and we say, but you should really trust the medical advisors, don't trust Donald Trump, well, as we're talking about the actual death rates, let's go to Dr. Burks.

00:08:55.000 Can you talk about your concerns about deaths being misreported by coronavirus because of either testing or standards or how they're characterized?

00:09:06.000 So I think in this country, we've taken a very liberal approach to mortality.

00:09:13.000 That's not a face mask.

00:09:14.000 She wore that scarf like a style statement.

00:09:15.000 I love it.

00:09:17.000 Great job.

00:09:18.000 It's the exact handkerchief we put on Betty after she gets bathed, so it's like, oh, she has a pink handkerchief?

00:09:23.000 It doesn't shield you from microbes.

00:09:25.000 It could.

00:09:26.000 You should know that.

00:09:28.000 She's a doctor.

00:09:29.000 She plays one on TV.

00:09:30.000 So, really quickly, just a couple stats that will set something up, because I lost sleep over this last night.

00:09:34.000 I stumbled across something that I'm amazed has not been reported on.

00:09:37.000 So, New York, they said they would need, remember, about 30,000 ventilators. 0.99

00:09:40.000 Remember Donald Trump got so much crap? 0.99

00:09:42.000 You guys don't have to be statues. 1.00

00:09:43.000 This isn't Madame Tussauds.

00:09:45.000 Are you already drunk, Gibbon?

00:09:50.000 I look and he's just staring at me like this.

00:09:53.000 Like David at the dentist.

00:09:54.000 Okay, now...

00:09:56.000 Okay now, is this real life?

00:10:00.000 It is, and you're Asian. 0.98

00:10:03.000 They wanted 30,000 ventilators, remember this?

00:10:06.000 And Donald Trump said, I don't know what they're doing with the ventilators, we need to look into that.

00:10:09.000 And everyone said, how could he dare say that?

00:10:11.000 Well, they peaked at needing only a fraction of what they thought.

00:10:15.000 Donald Trump said 4,000.

00:10:17.000 They've never needed 30,000 ventilators, or certainly they haven't reached that peak yet.

00:10:22.000 Something else that is important, okay?

00:10:24.000 This is how it kind of started.

00:10:26.000 Last night I was looking up going, well, people who have the flu must be compromised.

00:10:29.000 Right.

00:10:30.000 So how many people are dying just from the flu?

00:10:32.000 And I noticed, we can have this overlay right here, this is the CDC image, that flu deaths and pneumonia, they've gone down to effectively zero.

00:10:41.000 Oh, that's weird.

00:10:43.000 Historically, decades, no one's getting the flu this year?

00:10:46.000 Right.

00:10:47.000 Now, here's the thing.

00:10:47.000 None.

00:10:48.000 I wanted to assume, as usual, that I'm wrong, but Reg, our researcher, is very smart.

00:10:53.000 And he said, yes, Steven, you are wrong.

00:10:55.000 When I've discovered something, I have this I have this phobia, and it's because when I was a kid and I went to summer camp and they had a prize for someone who invents something, and you just had to make it out of pipe cleaners, and what I did was I made a dog feeder where the dog pushes a button and the pipe cleaner pushes open a cereal box and it feeds him.

00:11:11.000 That's pretty good.

00:11:13.000 No, they said it wasn't honey, I shrunk the kids, and I realized, oh yeah, it is, so I didn't find out.

00:11:17.000 So I always assume that I'm wrong if I have the inside lane on something.

00:11:22.000 So I look and I'm like, well, zero.

00:11:23.000 I said, okay, well maybe what's happening is just...

00:11:28.000 Well, no, that doesn't make sense because more people will be tested for the flu going in, right?

00:11:31.000 If they're being tested for COVID, you would think more people are being tested, maybe because of the social distancing.

00:11:35.000 Can I pause you real quick?

00:11:36.000 More people are being tested for the flu.

00:11:36.000 Yeah.

00:11:38.000 Because so many, most people who are going in for COVID testing aren't actually getting tested for COVID because they're reserving the test for the people who are higher risk or showing severe symptoms, but they have enough flu tests.

00:11:49.000 So all of those people are being tested for the flu.

00:11:51.000 So yes, 100% We are doing more flu tests.

00:11:54.000 Right.

00:11:55.000 So the flu death rate is very low.

00:11:56.000 We're testing for the flu.

00:11:57.000 Well, okay, so you just cut me off at the pass, because I was playing devil's advocate with myself, but my actual advocate... Yes.

00:12:03.000 ...was the devil.

00:12:04.000 He's going to be on an altar with me.

00:12:06.000 Oh, hi, Bill.

00:12:06.000 Yes.

00:12:07.000 Absolutely.

00:12:08.000 Right away with the Keanu Reeves film.

00:12:10.000 Like, was it?

00:12:10.000 Yes.

00:12:11.000 Yes.

00:12:13.000 It was Charlize Theron and Keanu Reeves and Al Pacino, right?

00:12:15.000 Yeah.

00:12:15.000 Al Pacino's going, I'm the devil!

00:12:18.000 You get it?

00:12:18.000 Yes.

00:12:20.000 Satan likes big asses! 1.00

00:12:22.000 No way Another excellent Keanu movie. 0.99

00:12:29.000 But you know, a little inside baseball for those who joined us in the morning.

00:12:32.000 I know how wrong Steven is when he pitches something to Reg by how long Reg says, uh.

00:12:39.000 If you get to three seconds, you know Reg is thinking like, how do I tell him he's wrong?

00:12:44.000 Right.

00:12:44.000 Here's the thing.

00:12:45.000 I could be a huge idiot and I likely, uh, you know, there's a good chance, but I, the one thing I do, I'll surround myself with geniuses. 1.00

00:12:53.000 So you'll never know because I'm an idiot with self-awareness. 1.00

00:12:57.000 So it'd be like if Rain Man were going, ah, waterworm baby! 1.00

00:13:01.000 I'm mentally retarded. 0.99

00:13:02.000 Waterworm baby! 1.00

00:13:03.000 I'm very aware.

00:13:05.000 So I check with people.

00:13:06.000 So then I was going, OK, no flu deaths.

00:13:07.000 That's weird.

00:13:08.000 Same thing with pneumonia.

00:13:09.000 I said, maybe fewer people are getting tested.

00:13:11.000 No, more people are getting tested.

00:13:13.000 And keep in mind, too, also 7% to 15% of all flu deaths every year are some form of coronavirus.

00:13:18.000 Not this novel coronavirus, but some form of coronavirus.

00:13:20.000 That's why your Lysol and your mat cleaner says, hey, it kills coronavirus. 0.98

00:13:26.000 We've had 17,000 deaths recorded from coronavirus.

00:13:30.000 So what this is telling us right now is that all of those flu deaths, all of those pneumonia deaths, they're all being counted as coronavirus.

00:13:39.000 So that's important to know.

00:13:40.000 Everything is being counted as coronavirus, even if they have these other conditions.

00:13:45.000 And I thought, well, okay, that's not really fair because that's not the standard that we use in measuring deaths for anything else.

00:13:50.000 For example, if someone has the flu and they also are undergoing chemo treatment, we count cancer as a leading cause of death.

00:13:57.000 So right away, that's tipping the numbers a little bit, but then it gets worse.

00:14:01.000 Here's what I went to the CDC website after I saw that chart.

00:14:05.000 And the flu death thing is weird.

00:14:06.000 This is how they're counting deaths.

00:14:08.000 A lot of people are saying, well, they're just, they're counting deaths, almost everything.

00:14:10.000 They want to be liberal as Bricks, not Bricks. 0.81

00:14:13.000 That's Hans Bricks.

00:14:14.000 Burks just said.

00:14:15.000 This is from the CDC.

00:14:16.000 Bring this up to you, cute man.

00:14:17.000 Your people will think I'm lying.

00:14:19.000 In cases where a definite diagnosis of COVID-19 cannot be made, but it is suspected or likely, compelling within a reasonable degree of certainty, it is acceptable to report COVID-19 under death certificate as probable or presumed.

00:14:33.000 In these instances, certifiers should use their best clinical judgment in determining if a COVID-19 infection was likely.

00:14:42.000 That's very interesting.

00:14:44.000 Can I sum that up?

00:14:44.000 Can I sum it up?

00:14:45.000 Just guess.

00:14:46.000 What?

00:14:47.000 Just guess.

00:14:48.000 Well here's the thing, not only are they lumping in, so all of a sudden go look at the charts.

00:14:51.000 Flu deaths?

00:14:52.000 Boom.

00:14:53.000 Pneumonia deaths?

00:14:54.000 Boom.

00:14:55.000 Nothing now.

00:14:56.000 All COVID deaths.

00:14:57.000 Not only are they all being registered as COVID-19 deaths, but doctors can also—there you go, that was a chart from earlier, the flu's dropping down—but they can also make a guess that, well, we assume that person died from COVID-19.

00:15:09.000 This is important for two reasons.

00:15:10.000 Science is flawless.

00:15:11.000 The scientific method is flawless.

00:15:13.000 Human beings applying it are not.

00:15:16.000 Do you not think for a second that some leftist activist who also happens to work in a hospital in New York is not going to take every single opportunity possible to try and label this a COVID-19 death if they are not required to actually show any proof of a positive test?

00:15:31.000 Just think of what the media does with this.

00:15:34.000 One more thing, and then I want to go back.

00:15:35.000 One more thing.

00:15:36.000 This is what's crazy about it, because you go, how can these models be so wrong?

00:15:41.000 And maybe someone out there can totally correct me on this.

00:15:43.000 Everything I've said here is just taken directly from the CDC website.

00:15:46.000 They don't apply this same standard to infection rates.

00:15:50.000 So they cannot assume that someone has COVID-19 unless they test positive.

00:15:53.000 And we now know, according to the CDC, 20-something percent of people are asymptomatic.

00:15:57.000 Eighty percent of people have very mild symptoms.

00:15:59.000 So we cannot say, oh, that person didn't test.

00:16:03.000 We didn't run a test, but we're pretty sure they have COVID because right now they're running all the flu tests, right?

00:16:06.000 They are actually trying to eliminate possibilities.

00:16:08.000 So they can guesstimate.

00:16:10.000 I hate that word, but I'm using it because I want to piss people off.

00:16:13.000 I get that it's redundant.

00:16:14.000 Estimate is to make a guess.

00:16:16.000 What's guesstimate? 1.00

00:16:17.000 To make a shit. 1.00

00:16:18.000 We get it. 1.00

00:16:19.000 It's the same exact thing.

00:16:20.000 Exponential double guess.

00:16:21.000 It'd be like me saying redundant. 0.98

00:16:24.000 It's recumbent-dumbant. 0.98

00:16:27.000 You're laying down and being redundant. 0.97

00:16:27.000 What? 0.97

00:16:28.000 I'm just saying it's just redundant times two.

00:16:31.000 That's what guestimates.

00:16:32.000 So, no, I was doing it on purpose.

00:16:34.000 I thought only two of us were drinking.

00:16:36.000 So if we are saying COVID-19 deaths, you can guess, but you cannot guess.

00:16:41.000 You have to have proof of infection rate.

00:16:44.000 What do you think that does to the mortality rate, not the overall deaths?

00:16:49.000 Far fewer, they're saying deaths are being underreported.

00:16:51.000 No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

00:16:53.000 Infections are being underreported.

00:16:55.000 For all we know, we could have two, three, four, ten times the amount of people right now out there with COVID-19.

00:17:01.000 We cannot guess, we cannot estimate, but we can throw out numbers if we think within a reasonable I guess sort of barometer of suspicion that they could have had COVID-19, we list it as a COVID-19 death.

00:17:13.000 So what can that do?

00:17:14.000 That can take a mortality rate from 0.2%, 0.4%, to 3% or 5%.

00:17:19.000 And it's important to note that's what the models were based on.

00:17:24.000 That's what the 2.5 million came from.

00:17:26.000 And then the 100,000 to 240,000.

00:17:28.000 So you can talk about social distancing all you want, and that is true.

00:17:30.000 You should be taking your precautions.

00:17:31.000 Wear your masks, which we said before they said you should wear masks.

00:17:34.000 I said, I bet they're going to come out and say, wear masks.

00:17:36.000 Nostradamus here, apparently, a comic in a bathrobe, said, I bet you the CDC's going to change that.

00:17:41.000 But this is incredible that the models are based on this.

00:17:44.000 This is what happens when you don't have an Asian doing your math. 1.00

00:17:48.000 And an Asian would know. 1.00

00:17:50.000 Holy crap. 0.99

00:17:51.000 One sec. 0.98

00:17:52.000 Look at Look at Gibbon!

00:17:53.000 Get a close up on Gibbon!

00:17:55.000 Wow!

00:17:56.000 Gibbon, Gibbon, get right up to the camera.

00:17:58.000 Get right up, get right up.

00:17:59.000 Look at this!

00:18:00.000 Oh my word!

00:18:02.000 Turns out Bill is still yellow!

00:18:04.000 Not very Asian. 1.00

00:18:06.000 I told you guys, I'm only Asian from the waist to the neck.

00:18:10.000 That's it.

00:18:10.000 Do you get more red?

00:18:12.000 Does it increase, or is there like a rate-limiting factor?

00:18:13.000 No, it'll keep happening.

00:18:15.000 I'm going to get pretty splotchy all over my body.

00:18:18.000 Oh, wow.

00:18:18.000 You don't need to see it.

00:18:19.000 I want to see it.

00:18:20.000 I think we should get photographs for later.

00:18:21.000 All right.

00:18:22.000 Well, give him another drink if he's only taking one, because I want to see how far this goes.

00:18:25.000 I can use another beer for anyone listening.

00:18:27.000 Okay, someone out there get him a beer.

00:18:29.000 I'm just going to keep drinking whiskey.

00:18:29.000 Now he's ordering drinks.

00:18:30.000 A minute ago he couldn't talk on camera, and now he's like, bartender!

00:18:33.000 Oh, and something else that I need to add here.

00:18:36.000 We've had 17,000 deaths reported from COVID-19, right?

00:18:40.000 A bad flu two years ago was 61,000.

00:18:43.000 So right now, if you total up flu deaths from this year, which dropped down to zero when he had this COVID pandemic, a total of 39,000 if you add up COVID and flu.

00:18:52.000 Bad flu year was 61,000.

00:18:54.000 So if you add up all of the flu deaths right now, all of the pneumonia deaths, all of the COVID-19 deaths, it is still not as high as a slightly severe flu season.

00:19:05.000 Now I'm not saying it won't get higher than that, but we don't, not saying it's comparable to the flu as far as how easy it can be transmitted, but We don't shut down the entire economy for that number, not even close.

00:19:17.000 And this is with the books being cooked.

00:19:19.000 And you'd correct me if you think I'm wrong.

00:19:21.000 I think if you are allowed to guess, if you lump all deaths under COVID-19, regardless of what other comorbidities are there, and then you're allowed to guess and say, let's chalk it up as COVID-19, but you cannot do it with the actual infections, I think that's dishonest and the American people should know.

00:19:34.000 Why is it considered journalistic malpractice to let the American public in on positive news?

00:19:41.000 Right, I have no idea.

00:19:42.000 And I think the whole point to this is that we're all willing to make a sacrifice.

00:19:46.000 We're all willing to do what we need to do to stop some kind of threat.

00:19:49.000 But the response needs to be in proportion to the threat.

00:19:52.000 And right now, we don't understand the threat.

00:19:53.000 And so when you come at me with two and a half million deaths early on, that means, if you extrapolate it out, about 100 million people in this country, of 360-ish million, 350, whatever it is, are going to get this virus.

00:20:04.000 Where in China, even if they were lying by a factor of 10, they had a million?

00:20:09.000 You're telling me we're going to have a hundred times what China had, and two and a half million are going to die?

00:20:13.000 None of it made any sense, but that's the number that we use to say, oh God, we have to close everything.

00:20:18.000 We have to close everything down.

00:20:18.000 Even using the numbers that they use right now are not possible.

00:20:20.000 Well, no, you go down to 250, that's 10 million.

00:20:21.000 But you know what I think?

00:20:22.000 I think if you actually want to know the number of people who are young, and I don't even mean under 50, and relatively healthy, these people could still be overweight, by the way.

00:20:30.000 I'm not talking about the abuse of health, but people who don't have severe conditions.

00:20:33.000 Now, again, what did we do on this program?

00:20:35.000 We said, it could get really bad, but there's some politics at play.

00:20:37.000 Then I had my doctor on, Dr. Choi, who's Korean.

00:20:39.000 We talked about it, told people what precautions they could take.

00:20:40.000 death is actually significantly higher than I think we will ever reach as far as young

00:20:44.000 healthy people.

00:20:45.000 Now, again, what did we do on this program?

00:20:48.000 We said it could get really bad, but there's some politics at play.

00:20:52.000 Then I had my doctor on, Dr. Choi, who's Korean.

00:20:54.000 We talked about it, told people what precautions they could take.

00:20:57.000 We've tried to be as clear as possible, and I do think that a lot of this, not just

00:21:02.000 The virus is not a hoax, of course not.

00:21:04.000 I'm not saying that at all.

00:21:06.000 But the political fallout, we will look back at this as one of the greatest shams perpetrated on the American public. 1.00

00:21:12.000 Yeah, with some of the most dire consequences.

00:21:14.000 Closing down the economy like this, it takes time to come back.

00:21:17.000 Did you guys get another drink already?

00:21:19.000 Keep drinking.

00:21:20.000 I want to see how bad it is.

00:21:22.000 I'm going to level with you.

00:21:23.000 It's usually freezing cold in the studio, but I'm about to take off every item of clothing that I'm wearing.

00:21:28.000 That's totally fine.

00:21:28.000 No.

00:21:30.000 Are we allowed?

00:21:30.000 Blotches.

00:21:32.000 Can you check?

00:21:32.000 Let's check.

00:21:33.000 You don't have to be on camera.

00:21:33.000 We don't need to check the blotches right now.

00:21:34.000 You want a blotch check?

00:21:35.000 Well, you check it, but you know what?

00:21:37.000 While you're doing that, you check it.

00:21:39.000 I believe we have Thomas Finnegan, don't we, with a traffic report?

00:21:42.000 Oh, okay.

00:21:43.000 We know that many of you, of course, your morning routines have been affected, and so we are here to serve you.

00:21:46.000 Time for Traffic Report with Thomas Finnegan.

00:21:48.000 ♪♪ All right, Mr. Finnegan, are you there, sir?

00:22:01.000 I am here, Steven.

00:22:02.000 Good, thank you.

00:22:03.000 You're staying safe.

00:22:04.000 Please update us on what people can expect in their morning commute.

00:22:08.000 Well, you commute from all directions.

00:22:12.000 What just happened?

00:22:13.000 What just happened there, Thomas Finnegan?

00:22:15.000 We're not hearing you.

00:22:15.000 Once you're in the kitchen center, be on the lookout for some emergency responders who are cleaning up an earlier incident involving a microwave and aluminum foil.

00:22:23.000 Aluminum.

00:22:24.000 Oh, aluminum.

00:22:26.000 I didn't know that our reporter was Canadian.

00:22:29.000 Okay, great.

00:22:30.000 By the way, we can hear you. 0.99

00:22:31.000 We can hear that you're like, don't take your shirt off, don't take your shirt off, you don't want to see my nipples. 0.98

00:22:35.000 We can hear everything you're saying. 0.98

00:22:36.000 He really is drunk at 924 Central.

00:22:41.000 Finnegan, anything else we need to know about?

00:22:43.000 Nothing else, Steven.

00:22:44.000 You're all good.

00:22:45.000 Did I just hear a toilet flush?

00:22:46.000 I think so.

00:22:47.000 Are you in the bathroom?

00:22:48.000 Really?

00:22:50.000 Maybe.

00:22:50.000 Oh, right.

00:22:52.000 I think he hit a dead spot there.

00:23:04.000 Are you splotchy?

00:23:05.000 Do you know?

00:23:06.000 Do you know if you're splotchy?

00:23:10.000 He is totally, his reaction time is awful right now.

00:23:13.000 This is two drinks in.

00:23:14.000 Two drinks or did you get hit with a blow dart gun?

00:23:19.000 Somebody drank him from the ceiling.

00:23:21.000 Let us know what people are saying.

00:23:22.000 Can you guys see this step?

00:23:24.000 Get up to the camera here.

00:23:25.000 Show it off.

00:23:26.000 Actually, you know what?

00:23:27.000 Take off your headphones and come over here so people can see.

00:23:31.000 So this is for contrast.

00:23:32.000 This is pretty red, right?

00:23:32.000 That's my floor.

00:23:33.000 That's purple.

00:23:34.000 But come right here, Gibbon, so people can see the contrast.

00:23:38.000 Look at my face.

00:23:38.000 Look at this.

00:23:39.000 We might need a foot to face.

00:23:41.000 Yeah, hold on.

00:23:41.000 Let me see your face right here.

00:23:42.000 Oh my gosh!

00:23:43.000 Hold on a second.

00:23:44.000 That's pretty close!

00:23:47.000 No, no, his face is redder.

00:23:49.000 Oh my god!

00:23:51.000 This is in an ice bath!

00:23:52.000 You look like Hellboy.

00:23:53.000 He does actually look a little bit like Hellboy.

00:23:55.000 Chief Sitting Bull over here.

00:23:56.000 You know what?

00:23:57.000 I think we've proven our point.

00:23:59.000 Do you want to go back to doing the opening?

00:24:02.000 Hey, Red Skull here needs some crackers. 0.98

00:24:07.000 Do you want to go back out there and sit in the yogi bow and take a breather?

00:24:14.000 No, no, no.

00:24:15.000 Leave him here.

00:24:16.000 He's making me uncomfortable. 0.95

00:24:19.000 I think he might die.

00:24:21.000 So this happened to me.

00:24:22.000 I was telling this story.

00:24:23.000 This happened to me in college.

00:24:24.000 When I found out that this happened, I was at a party and I was drinking a beer.

00:24:28.000 I had about half a beer and someone comes up to me and they go, Are you okay?

00:24:33.000 And I was just like, what the heck are you talking about?

00:24:33.000 Yeah.

00:24:35.000 Of course I'm okay.

00:24:36.000 And it was about the sixth or seventh person that came up to me and said, are you okay?

00:24:40.000 And put their hand on my shoulder that I went to the bathroom and said, oh my God, what the heck happened to me?

00:24:45.000 Something else that happens too, when he gets drunk, he gets, I'm noticing you get more, you get less articulate, but very chatty.

00:24:53.000 You're very quiet most of the time.

00:24:55.000 He's very quiet.

00:24:56.000 I thought he was Italian for like nine months.

00:24:58.000 I had no idea he was Asian.

00:24:59.000 Do we know what this is, the Asian rosacea?

00:25:01.000 Because I remember I had a psychiatrist who told me, she's like, it's a genetic.

00:25:04.000 It's an enzyme thing, right?

00:25:05.000 It is.

00:25:06.000 It's an enzyme thing.

00:25:07.000 So kind of like lactose intolerance.

00:25:10.000 People are missing that enzyme that helps them digest lactose.

00:25:12.000 In Asian cultures, we usually don't drink milk.

00:25:16.000 So you have lactose intolerance too?

00:25:19.000 I'm actually pretty good with lactose intolerance.

00:25:20.000 I am lactose intolerant.

00:25:21.000 You are lactose intolerant.

00:25:22.000 How do you deal with bats?

00:25:24.000 Delicious.

00:25:26.000 Look, I like bat gumbo, bat stew, bat shrimp, bat fried bat, boiled bat, bat fajitas, bat pie.

00:25:35.000 I'm not going to lie, if it wouldn't make me incredibly sick, I wouldn't mind bat pie. 1.00

00:25:39.000 AudioWave, we haven't heard from you this morning.

00:25:40.000 What do you think about that?

00:25:41.000 Do you think he's safe in here?

00:25:42.000 We need an update.

00:25:43.000 It does look like his forehead's about to pop.

00:25:43.000 I hope so.

00:25:45.000 I don't know.

00:25:46.000 He looks like stressed Eric.

00:25:49.000 He looks like he ate a whole jar of peanut butter and now he's on the toilet just trying to let it go through.

00:25:54.000 Don't strain.

00:25:57.000 You're gonna blow an o-ring or something, fella.

00:25:58.000 Well, listen, if you're not feeling well, you know, when you get you some water, let us know.

00:26:01.000 Well, if he does die, it'll be contributed as a COVID-19 death, so that's that, right?

00:26:05.000 The silver lining.

00:26:06.000 We're helping out Joe Biden's campaign by adding to those deaths.

00:26:10.000 Hey, and by the way, please do hit the notification bell if you are subscribed, and if you haven't joined Mug Club yet, at loudmouthcrowder.com slash Mug Club.

00:26:17.000 Crowder Bits is another YouTube channel.

00:26:19.000 Yes, sir, love it.

00:26:20.000 The iTunes or Apple podcast.

00:26:22.000 So, something else I wanted to talk about, this is making the rounds quite a bit, and The hydroxychloroquine thing.

00:26:29.000 So remember, we were on this really early.

00:26:31.000 Yeah.

00:26:31.000 To the point where when we titled our YouTube video about chloroquine, I remember that we kind of go through a title process.

00:26:37.000 We go, okay, we want to make sure that people can search it and find it.

00:26:39.000 Oh, shoot.

00:26:40.000 I did just unbutton this.

00:26:40.000 Wade is right.

00:26:42.000 That's bizarre.

00:26:42.000 Wow.

00:26:43.000 Do you just do that like automatically?

00:26:45.000 It's like a nervous tick.

00:26:46.000 Yeah.

00:26:46.000 That's not a good tick.

00:26:47.000 As soon as the camera gets on him.

00:26:49.000 Sexual assault is not a good nervous tic.

00:26:52.000 It's far more severe than a word whisker.

00:26:56.000 Some people say, uh, and I just go, like?

00:27:00.000 Your nervous tic should be legal.

00:27:04.000 That's a good rule.

00:27:05.000 People are going to think I'm a bad lawyer if you keep doing this, okay?

00:27:10.000 What's wrong with him?

00:27:11.000 He's nervous.

00:27:12.000 Really?

00:27:12.000 What's your nervous tic?

00:27:13.000 I sell crack!

00:27:16.000 That's more proactive than a tic.

00:27:18.000 You've got spreadsheets.

00:27:21.000 Um, so the Trump-Chloroquine thing, we actually remember we said, well we don't want to title it Chloroquine because people don't... Oh wait, hold on a second.

00:27:27.000 We should check in with CNN a little bit.

00:27:29.000 Every continent except Antarctica impacted by COVID-19.

00:27:29.000 Let's see.

00:27:32.000 Well that correlation is all we need to know.

00:27:35.000 Cold kills it.

00:27:37.000 I think it's time to move.

00:27:38.000 This is CNN.

00:27:41.000 We didn't know how to title it because we said, most people don't know chloroquine.

00:27:44.000 So we were like, let's see if we can title drug, whatever.

00:27:45.000 And now this has become the number one cause is to attack Donald Trump.

00:27:50.000 Chloroquine.

00:27:50.000 This has become the cause.

00:27:53.000 It's unbelievable.

00:27:54.000 And when you actually look at it, I think the big reason why, Matty, you can bring up that overlay.

00:27:59.000 I think the reason why is because he's right.

00:28:03.000 They tend not to like that.

00:28:04.000 When you have, they go, oh, there's zero scientific evidence.

00:28:06.000 Well, there's actually quite a bit of evidence, many hundreds of people.

00:28:10.000 We've seen different, we've seen a variance in the rates of efficacy in these different sort of, they're not double blind clinical trials, but they're about as good as you can get for an already approved drug that can be prescribed off label.

00:28:21.000 And now over 6,000 doctors signed a petition.

00:28:25.000 6,000 doctors signed on saying this was a drug that they actually supported.

00:28:28.000 It's being used in hospitals across the country.

00:28:30.000 Don't you just love that Michigan, and I think Nevada, put a ban?

00:28:33.000 They said, we're not going to give that to our people.

00:28:34.000 And they said, sorry, I meant the opposite.

00:28:38.000 Ship as much of it as you can.

00:28:40.000 I think what's interesting is, you know, when you read these articles that are attacking the folks, they're like, oh, I can't believe you would tout this terrible drug.

00:28:47.000 You're not a Dr. Trump.

00:28:48.000 You're not a doctor news person who's reporting it.

00:28:51.000 But the Trump and the news outlets that are reporting on the effect of treatment are always reporting about doctors.

00:28:59.000 The numbers they're getting are from Trump's briefing.

00:29:02.000 All over the country, who are saying, hey, I'm not saying it works for everyone, and certainly there are individuals to which it will be ineffective, but we are doing it, and the evidence that we see, the empirical evidence is, it's working.

00:29:14.000 And what's crazy is when I watch CNN, and I hate that I do it, but I'm doing this for you.

00:29:14.000 Right.

00:29:19.000 Please do join Mug Club, otherwise... Reload, and then I don't want... It can't be a Walther because I can't get in trouble with my sponsor.

00:29:25.000 But if I kill myself from watching too much CNN, it will be a competitor's firearm.

00:29:30.000 Yes, it definitely will.

00:29:31.000 But I have a question.

00:29:32.000 Try the Walther.

00:29:34.000 But, no, I do... Go ahead.

00:29:36.000 What's our standard for information right now?

00:29:37.000 Because people are giving him a hard time for saying, hold on, let me play this out, they're giving him a hard time for saying there's a possibility that this could be beneficial, let's look at it.

00:29:45.000 We get numbers all the time that start out at two and a half million deaths, 240,000 deaths, and we're like, oh no, that's good, we're fine taking that kind of variance, but Donald Trump says it might be a helpful thing to use.

00:29:55.000 That's a good point, there's far less variance in all of the trials or studies, there's far less variance out there for chloroquine than there is variance in the death rates.

00:30:03.000 And what's funny is when they report on it, I'll watch CNN and they'll say, Oh, Dr. Trump, uh, sorry, President Trump.

00:30:09.000 You've been so drunk, I'm getting drunk by osmosis just around him.

00:30:15.000 I'll give you an update.

00:30:17.000 I have, so my body has metabolized the alcohol.

00:30:19.000 I am drunk.

00:30:20.000 I am moving into the hungover phase.

00:30:22.000 If anyone out there can get me a Gatorade or Pedialyte.

00:30:26.000 This is not a joke.

00:30:28.000 Someone get him some Pedialyte.

00:30:30.000 Hey, look, we have young Dolph Lundgren on the screen on CNN here.

00:30:35.000 Oh, look at him.

00:30:36.000 I will break you.

00:30:37.000 I love it.

00:30:38.000 I want to see Universal Soldier 4.

00:30:41.000 John King will go on there.

00:30:43.000 And I saw this, I think it was yesterday, saying Donald Trump ignoring the advice of, you know, medical professionals who now predict the death rate 60,000.

00:30:50.000 And then they show a clip from Dr. Fauci.

00:30:54.000 That's his advisor.

00:30:56.000 He's the one who had him out there at a press conference.

00:30:58.000 You didn't get a scoop, Aaron Burnett.

00:31:01.000 You just didn't run the press briefing and then you talk about it.

00:31:04.000 The death rates that are coming out are coming out from Donald Trump and his cabinet and his advisors.

00:31:08.000 You're not getting it from anywhere else.

00:31:10.000 It's unbelievable to me.

00:31:11.000 So they've been going after hydroxychloroquine, and this happened with the Young Turks and on CNN.

00:31:15.000 Now the attack is, why is Donald Trump so pro-hydroxychloroquine?

00:31:18.000 Because it works.

00:31:19.000 No.

00:31:20.000 Because he stands to make money.

00:31:22.000 That's right.

00:31:23.000 Let's go through that really quickly.

00:31:24.000 Evil man.

00:31:25.000 So they talk about, this is an article from Daily Beast, how he owns stock in a company that may be making chloroquine tablets.

00:31:31.000 When you run the numbers, I want to make sure I get this right, he owns between $99 and $1,485.

00:31:39.000 In this stock.

00:31:39.000 Of that stock.

00:31:41.000 The man's a billionaire.

00:31:43.000 So you know what this company is too, right?

00:31:45.000 If he found that in his pocket, it would be less than you finding a 20.

00:31:49.000 It's part of a mutual fund, I think, right?

00:31:52.000 Yes!

00:31:53.000 Do you have any idea what we're all invested in in our mutual funds?

00:31:56.000 We have no idea.

00:31:57.000 Here's the thing.

00:31:58.000 Anyone out there who's going to criticize him for being invested in one of the largest French manufacturers of pharmaceuticals, Sanofi, every one of you who has a mutual fund, you're probably in it as well.

00:32:08.000 No.

00:32:08.000 Michael Moore's probably in it.

00:32:11.000 But he hates himself for it.

00:32:11.000 Oh, definitely.

00:32:11.000 He's in it.

00:32:12.000 Are you kidding?

00:32:13.000 He's there.

00:32:13.000 It's okay.

00:32:13.000 Yeah, it's unreal to me.

00:32:15.000 Compare that by, well, we're talking about a vested interest.

00:32:17.000 So you can say, oh, a conflict of interest.

00:32:19.000 Is a president not supposed to have any sort of diversified portfolio?

00:32:23.000 No mutual funds?

00:32:23.000 You can just come right on in.

00:32:24.000 Don't worry about it.

00:32:25.000 Just come right on in.

00:32:25.000 It's more distracting.

00:32:26.000 It's more distracting for a creepy Columbian to loom by the door.

00:32:30.000 It is.

00:32:31.000 We never know.

00:32:31.000 We need crackers.

00:32:32.000 We need food.

00:32:33.000 We need something sustained.

00:32:36.000 Do you want some pistachios?

00:32:37.000 Cliff Bar or something?

00:32:40.000 I can take another Cliff Bar.

00:32:41.000 Okay.

00:32:42.000 So, I've noticed something else.

00:32:43.000 There's a delay.

00:32:44.000 Oh my God!

00:32:44.000 There's an angry lesbian who I'm not... What is that on CNN?

00:32:47.000 No, no, no.

00:32:48.000 What?

00:32:49.000 That's Daniel Radcliffe.

00:32:50.000 What is that?

00:32:52.000 What in God's name is that thing?

00:32:56.000 I love how you ask him a question and it takes him five seconds before he answers now.

00:33:00.000 There's like a delay.

00:33:01.000 While we're talking about vested interests, oh my god, this is a madhouse.

00:33:04.000 Hello Betty.

00:33:04.000 What is going on?

00:33:06.000 Can we go to the long shot there?

00:33:07.000 Oh my gosh, Dr. Betty.

00:33:09.000 What does she have, tape?

00:33:10.000 Hold on, someone else got this one.

00:33:14.000 She's just trying to tape some stuff.

00:33:17.000 It'll be okay.

00:33:18.000 Poor, poor little Betty. 1.00

00:33:20.000 Hey, how are we going to keep this show going if she eats that roll of gaff tape? 1.00

00:33:23.000 That's true.

00:33:24.000 We wouldn't be able to do the drink on the job.

00:33:26.000 We wouldn't be able to gaff anything.

00:33:28.000 How would we gaff?

00:33:30.000 She's wearing a dress? 1.00

00:33:31.000 She is in a dress.

00:33:32.000 Poor dog! 0.94

00:33:33.000 Someone go to the woman in the office. 1.00

00:33:37.000 Well, Maddie's working here. 0.99

00:33:38.000 One of the women in the office hit my wife because I can't. 1.00

00:33:43.000 She put my dog in a dress. 0.98

00:33:46.000 Your dog is a lady dog. 0.99

00:33:47.000 It is a lady dog.

00:33:48.000 I don't care. 0.96

00:33:48.000 That disgusts me. 0.96

00:33:49.000 So when we're talking about vested interest in a mutual fund, $99 to $1,000, compare that to the vested interest that New York Times has.

00:33:58.000 When you look at the money that's exchanged hands with Democratic donors, when you look at people who have actually worked in administrations that are either now reporters or have been op-ed journalists at the New York Times.

00:34:07.000 I mean, Paul Krugman.

00:34:09.000 You just look at any of these people at the New York Times, not to mention, remember their probability numbers that they had at the election?

00:34:16.000 It was 99 point something percent that Hillary Clinton would win the election. 0.73

00:34:19.000 And like we've said, just like with COVID-19, numbers matter, and obviously facts do exist.

00:34:25.000 We need to be clear about that.

00:34:26.000 But you can also try and manipulate them to change public behavior.

00:34:29.000 That's what happened with the election.

00:34:31.000 They were hoping that people would just feel completely depressed, completely devastated, that they wouldn't have any fight in them and come out and vote for Donald Trump.

00:34:38.000 So they had 99% Hillary Clinton. 0.66

00:34:40.000 Probably did the opposite.

00:34:42.000 It made you go, oh, I gotta get out there.

00:34:42.000 Yeah.

00:34:44.000 That night we were streaming, and I remember Gerald started drinking before the show.

00:34:47.000 He was like, well, Hillary Clinton's gonna win tonight, so let's just, this is gonna be a rough night.

00:34:52.000 And then it was the best night ever, just because we watched the Young Turks meltdown.

00:34:56.000 Like, 97, that's okay.

00:34:58.000 Just wait until Michigan comes in.

00:34:59.000 Oh no!

00:35:00.000 Why?

00:35:00.000 Of course!

00:35:03.000 That was one of my best nights.

00:35:04.000 We'll send you a Walter.

00:35:05.000 But it was remarkable.

00:35:09.000 And they did this because they wanted people to, basically they wanted it to be a self-fulfilling prophecy.

00:35:13.000 That's what's happening right now with some of the COVID-19 deaths.

00:35:16.000 So New York Times has a far worse conflict of interest.

00:35:20.000 I'm just hearing the COVID stuff.

00:35:24.000 If you're going to talk about big pharma, we're talking about chloroquine.

00:35:30.000 This is how you know that someone actually cares.

00:35:33.000 Donald Trump could probably get some serious kickbacks.

00:35:36.000 Right now, his hotels can't receive any bailout money.

00:35:39.000 Just so you know.

00:35:40.000 He signed on.

00:35:41.000 That wasn't even an issue.

00:35:41.000 It wasn't even argued.

00:35:43.000 What are you saying there?

00:35:43.000 No public official.

00:35:44.000 What?

00:35:44.000 We're just letting you know what time it is.

00:35:46.000 You're letting me know what time it is?

00:35:46.000 What?

00:35:49.000 40 minutes?

00:35:50.000 Yeah.

00:35:50.000 Quarter Black Garrett is making symbols?

00:35:51.000 We've never used these symbols.

00:35:53.000 He's doing games.

00:35:54.000 I only know the Air Force signals.

00:35:56.000 What are you using?

00:35:56.000 The Army?

00:35:56.000 We have to match up.

00:35:57.000 You're doing the opposite of what I was trying to do!

00:35:59.000 I have a clock!

00:35:59.000 I see it!

00:35:59.000 It's 1038!

00:36:00.000 This!

00:36:00.000 trying to do it was coach I have a clock I know he does he does he does this

00:36:07.000 assisting you and he's doing it like he's let me in like look he's giving me

00:36:11.000 like a hot tip at the at the Greyhound truck I'll let you run next time, it's fine.

00:36:15.000 He's like the third bass coach over there, signaling you.

00:36:18.000 What is happening?

00:36:18.000 I've got a drug producer.

00:36:20.000 Wait, is this a drug deal going on?

00:36:22.000 I know what time it is.

00:36:24.000 So if you were to have some conspiracy about a drug, you could have created a much better one.

00:36:29.000 Donald Trump is not receiving any money to his hotel, so that's not really a conspiracy.

00:36:32.000 As far as drugs, chloroquine is generic.

00:36:35.000 There's no patent on it.

00:36:36.000 Any company can make it. It's been around since the 1940s.

00:36:36.000 No.

00:36:39.000 It's being made by a ton of other companies.

00:36:41.000 As far as I understand it, even Bayer, who make aspirin. Or at least they said that they could.

00:36:47.000 I don't know if they're actually going to be doing it. So many companies. So if Donald Trump wanted

00:36:50.000 to get a kickback on a drug, you know what he would do? He would pick a company that has exclusive

00:36:54.000 rights. He's the president of the United States. If you see some kind of a Republican senator from

00:36:58.000 whatever it is, Omaha, can engage in insider trading, you don't think that Donald Trump can

00:37:02.000 make a call to Pfizer and buy up a few mutual funds?

00:37:07.000 I know, that's not how it works, but I don't really know anything about finances.

00:37:10.000 My guy handles it.

00:37:11.000 And then I just write it off.

00:37:13.000 Yeah, so for the death rates, they're guessing at the top number of the fraction and the bottom number of the fraction, but they're reporting all their guesses.

00:37:20.000 But if you know that Trump can only make like a hundred bucks from this whole thing, you're not going to report that number.

00:37:25.000 You're not going to say how much he owns or anything else.

00:37:28.000 So I think there's two points here.

00:37:29.000 One is fear sells, right?

00:37:30.000 Every time you have a news story come on, it needs to be about Donald Trump, his handling of this, and how bad it is, right?

00:37:36.000 The thing that we saw with the crayon or whatever it is at the bottom that said every continent— Did you just say crayon?

00:37:41.000 Crayon.

00:37:41.000 Crayon?

00:37:41.000 Chiron.

00:37:42.000 Chiron. 0.78

00:37:42.000 Thank you. 0.78

00:37:43.000 I always do it backwards.

00:37:44.000 Even the drunk Asian heard Chiron. 1.00

00:37:47.000 Crayon, right?

00:37:48.000 Yeah.

00:37:48.000 That's not true.

00:37:49.000 That was unacceptable. 1.00

00:37:52.000 You didn't even pause for that one, jerk! 1.00

00:37:54.000 That was unacceptable! 1.00

00:37:57.000 Oh, you're a pipe!

00:37:59.000 So it said, you know, every continent on the planet has been affected.

00:38:02.000 Yes, thank you.

00:38:03.000 That means that potentially seven countries have been infected by this.

00:38:06.000 No, Gerald, you missed it.

00:38:07.000 Antarctica and the penguins are safe.

00:38:09.000 Other than them.

00:38:10.000 I know, but what I'm saying is, like, they're making it sound as bad as possible.

00:38:14.000 I'm just gonna keep talking.

00:38:16.000 As bad as possible.

00:38:17.000 And then they won't report anything on Donald Trump when he owns something that's $1,000.

00:38:21.000 Like you said, it's a rounding error to him.

00:38:23.000 You're just going to say something general about it?

00:38:25.000 You're trying to make it look as bad as possible for him and for the virus.

00:38:28.000 Right.

00:38:29.000 And not reporting any good news at all.

00:38:30.000 No, exactly.

00:38:31.000 By the way, we've gone through the clinical data.

00:38:33.000 We've had clinical studies where they haven't been controlled because if someone actually has severe COVID, right, they don't want to run the risk of receiving a placebo.

00:38:33.000 This is important to note.

00:38:41.000 So that's pretty hard to do.

00:38:43.000 But we have studied pretty big, we have pretty big sample sizes in multiple different instances now in people, and it does seem to consistently be working.

00:38:51.000 Again, thousands of doctors have signed on saying, this is actually something that we want to use.

00:38:56.000 It was by far and away, there was a poll, the most effective treatment when doctors were polled.

00:39:00.000 So not even people who proactively signed on to say, this needs to be a part of the protocol.

00:39:04.000 Then when they were asked, doctors said, yeah, hydroxychloroquine with the Z-Pak is most effective.

00:39:08.000 Number two was chloroquine by itself.

00:39:10.000 Number three was nothing.

00:39:12.000 And then everything else was after nothing.

00:39:14.000 So we want to be clear about that.

00:39:15.000 Then they also did study it in vitro, like in a petri dish, where they think they found the sort of novel mechanism of action as to why it might work.

00:39:23.000 And it may not be the antiviral capabilities.

00:39:25.000 It actually may be some kind of mediation of the inflammatory response, specifically as it relates to the immune system.

00:39:29.000 So I'm really nerdy.

00:39:30.000 These things are all very interesting.

00:39:31.000 But the point is, we have examples in humans that it works, and we think we understand scientifically at least as to why it works.

00:39:37.000 And anecdotally, this lady of color, person of color, POC, from Michigan, Karen Witset, she

00:39:44.000 credits Chloroquine and Trump with saving her life.

00:39:47.000 And she really, really didn't want to say that, by the way.

00:39:50.000 And I'm not sure if that's the lady or if I'm just confusing her with another black 0.97

00:39:53.000 lady from Michigan who was in the legislature.

00:39:55.000 I think that's the one who, when we were doing the I'm Just a Bill, the transgender parody, 1.00

00:39:59.000 came up to the Capitol building and said, oh, y'all doing schoolhouse rock, took a picture

00:40:06.000 and uploaded it to Instagram, and then was very cross when she found out what the video

00:40:11.000 was.

00:40:12.000 And then basically removed.

00:40:13.000 It may have been Karen Witset.

00:40:14.000 Probably not.

00:40:15.000 I don't know.

00:40:16.000 How are you doing there, Gibbon?

00:40:20.000 Yeah, I'm in the hungover phase.

00:40:23.000 I'm drinking water.

00:40:24.000 You're actually hungover already?

00:40:26.000 Yeah, that was fast.

00:40:26.000 Already.

00:40:27.000 I have a pounding headache.

00:40:28.000 You have a weak producer.

00:40:29.000 I feel terrible, but I'm going to... I'm gonna stay the course.

00:40:32.000 Okay, stay the course.

00:40:33.000 Power through again.

00:40:34.000 You know, it doesn't look so bad now when you're under the right light.

00:40:37.000 Of course, you can't always depend on that light, but... Little splotchy.

00:40:42.000 Little splotchy.

00:40:42.000 Yeah, I say a little splotchy.

00:40:44.000 Sorry, buddy.

00:40:46.000 You look like you should be at a kid's party in a McDonald's playpen, Grimace.

00:40:51.000 You are purple.

00:40:52.000 You are more purple than my foot.

00:40:53.000 He is pretty purple.

00:40:54.000 By the way, again, we mentioned Crowder Bits, the podcast.

00:40:57.000 Oh, wait, hold on a second, actually.

00:40:57.000 Actually, I think we have to go to, right now of course since it's a morning show, Breaking

00:41:02.000 News.

00:41:03.000 Yeah.

00:41:04.000 Ooh.

00:41:05.000 For a breaking news, I'm Al Rooth Crowder.

00:41:14.000 I'm Perry Malthusen.

00:41:16.000 Based on previous projections that have been subject to change and now can be verified, the CDC has officially, and this can be held legally accountable, changed their COVID estimate of deaths to four.

00:41:32.000 We'll keep you abreast as this story unfolds.

00:41:35.000 For Breaking News, I'm Lauderworth Crowder.

00:41:37.000 I am Paramount. Haha.

00:41:39.000 I had AM radio flashbacks there of like driving in my dad's car and there's like some grainy

00:41:50.000 AM talk show person.

00:41:52.000 Perry's been around for a while.

00:41:53.000 He's been around for a long time, at a high level for a while.

00:41:56.000 Got us into a lot of hot water.

00:41:58.000 Did I ever tell you about that?

00:41:58.000 Because we were out of Detroit and we were broadcasting.

00:42:01.000 And what happened is when this show started for those... By the way, I don't know if we can... Is chat not working today?

00:42:06.000 Let's forget it.

00:42:07.000 Are we doing chat?

00:42:08.000 Let's see if we can bring up some chat.

00:42:09.000 By the way, I know chat is an issue right now.

00:42:11.000 You can't give us your name because the usernames aren't working.

00:42:13.000 I don't know why.

00:42:15.000 I'm pissed about it.

00:42:16.000 So earlier, yeah, earlier you asked about people who had had the COVID-19, if they knew anybody.

00:42:22.000 This person, Andrew, says, my dad and I contracted it and fully recovered.

00:42:25.000 We lost our sense of smell and had a bad cough.

00:42:28.000 Ooh! 0.96

00:42:29.000 Devastating.

00:42:30.000 Sorry, Andrew. 0.76

00:42:31.000 You're losing your sense of smell.

00:42:32.000 That might be a little too much Zycam.

00:42:34.000 The nasal Zycam.

00:42:35.000 Just so you know, do not use that.

00:42:37.000 I've known people who have lost their sense of smell.

00:42:39.000 Why shouldn't we use it permanently?

00:42:39.000 Really?

00:42:40.000 Yeah, permanently.

00:42:43.000 Tell us more, Vampire Gibbon.

00:42:46.000 Take Zycam as a pill.

00:42:47.000 Do not inhale that.

00:42:48.000 Really?

00:42:50.000 But the nasal swab is not inhale.

00:42:51.000 You rub it around your nasal cavity.

00:42:53.000 Are you talking about the spray?

00:42:54.000 Yeah, the spray.

00:42:55.000 Did you use it?

00:42:58.000 I can still smell everything.

00:42:59.000 Just so you know, this is happening in real time.

00:43:05.000 Are we still on?

00:43:06.000 He used it in his eyes.

00:43:07.000 I just wanted to prove that I am more Asian than Bill.

00:43:10.000 You are absolutely more Asian than Bill. 0.99

00:43:13.000 Genetically. 0.95

00:43:15.000 I'll take my pants off right now.

00:43:18.000 If I have to.

00:43:19.000 Big words for a man who didn't even want to wear a robe.

00:43:21.000 I was like, come on, we're all wearing pajamas.

00:43:23.000 He's like, I don't want to wear a robe.

00:43:24.000 That's a nice robe.

00:43:25.000 I still have my suit jacket on.

00:43:26.000 I know, right?

00:43:27.000 Because this is how he sleeps, in his suit with a robe.

00:43:30.000 He has to keep up appearances, love, as he sits next to a drunken Asian who's about to throw up all over the studio. 1.00

00:43:37.000 My quarter Asian brother is excellent.

00:43:40.000 Yes, the hungover phase has passed.

00:43:45.000 I'm now drinking beer again.

00:43:46.000 That's a wonderful plan of action.

00:43:52.000 I literally poisoned my body, but I feel as though I've cleared just enough of it that I'm at the cusp of recovery.

00:43:58.000 Let me drink more drain cleaner.

00:43:59.000 You know what's terrible about Gibbon?

00:44:03.000 They're like terrible for him.

00:44:04.000 I was like, he's drunk, he can't defend himself.

00:44:09.000 I've done this bet thing before.

00:44:11.000 Really?

00:44:11.000 Gullible rooms of white guys where I'm like, well, you know, I can't drink that much because I'll get all red in the face.

00:44:16.000 Like then, you know, I've had too much to drink.

00:44:18.000 And then, you know, like 11 shots later, they're on the floor.

00:44:21.000 I'm like, all right, I'm going to take that money.

00:44:24.000 Oh, nice.

00:44:24.000 How did you get that money?

00:44:25.000 Can you do that again?

00:44:27.000 I'll take that money.

00:44:28.000 Thanks.

00:44:29.000 Can you do that again?

00:44:31.000 Oh, see, now he butchered it up.

00:44:32.000 When he first did it, it was super dainty.

00:44:33.000 I'll take that money.

00:44:36.000 Dollar, dollar bills, y'all.

00:44:38.000 Hey, I did not sound like Gerald when I did that.

00:44:40.000 No, no, you sounded like Richard Simmons who's been kidnapped by his Brazilian housekeeper.

00:44:44.000 We do have one more chat.

00:44:46.000 We have another chat, anyway.

00:44:48.000 We have somebody who says, nope, safe in Italy.

00:44:51.000 Don't know anyone with the China virus.

00:44:52.000 It's Susan in Italy.

00:44:54.000 I think that person's trying a little too hard with reiterating Italy.

00:44:57.000 And obviously because Italy is like the war zone, I think that might not be honest, Susan.

00:45:02.000 It should help, actually, it's written in an accent.

00:45:04.000 Pretty heavily.

00:45:05.000 I don't know how you read that.

00:45:05.000 Oh, good.

00:45:07.000 And I don't know many Dagos named Susan.

00:45:10.000 Right.

00:45:12.000 Maybe she's on vacation.

00:45:13.000 So I do have a story.

00:45:14.000 There was one of my clients who did, their group contracted it.

00:45:18.000 They were in Australia.

00:45:19.000 It actually made the news.

00:45:20.000 Your setup has become tiresome.

00:45:22.000 He's drunk.

00:45:24.000 I was losing interest.

00:45:25.000 I was losing interest. Yeah, thank you. If I can't keep a drunk man's interest, I have nothing to offer.

00:45:34.000 Tell us about your Aussie drunk friends.

00:45:37.000 So they went down there to do wine tasting with a group of ten people.

00:45:41.000 They got it.

00:45:42.000 They were quarantined, and they actually received death threats from Australian people that thought that they had brought this virus to their area.

00:45:48.000 Well, that doesn't surprise me. 0.98

00:45:48.000 It's an island of nothing but felons and rapists. 0.98

00:45:50.000 Well, pretty much. 1.00

00:45:51.000 That's their heritage.

00:45:52.000 That's what it is.

00:45:53.000 It's maw and paw.

00:45:54.000 It's Alcatraz with tarantulas.

00:45:56.000 It was a British colony.

00:45:57.000 It was a penal colony.

00:45:58.000 Anyway, so they finally did make it back to the United States last night, so I do know one person, at least, that had it.

00:46:04.000 How bad was it?

00:46:05.000 Not bad.

00:46:06.000 Not bad at all.

00:46:07.000 And I'm not saying that there aren't cases where it's bad, but I'm asking because everyone that I've known who's had it, it's been a cough.

00:46:13.000 It's been a cough and a headache.

00:46:15.000 So I'm not saying it's pleasant, but everyone that I... Now, then again, most people who I know who've had it are younger and are healthy.

00:46:22.000 Younger meaning under the age of 50.

00:46:23.000 And then right now, my mother, who is our wardrobe stylist, she has pneumonia, pretty severe.

00:46:28.000 So she's nowhere near here.

00:46:29.000 And that is significantly worse than any of the coronavirus cases that we've seen.

00:46:35.000 And we've seen, at least suspected, quite a few.

00:46:37.000 And in this instance, if we suspect it, we write it as definitely COVID-19.

00:46:40.000 Because we're following the CDC's lead on that.

00:46:44.000 Um, alright.

00:46:45.000 You know what?

00:46:46.000 Maybe I should tell my Taco Bell story last.

00:46:47.000 Please.

00:46:48.000 I think I'm going to end this on a positive note.

00:46:57.000 But before we get to that, and actually you'll be able to shine on Monday.

00:46:59.000 We'll be doing another Mass Monday on Monday, and that's where I will say Audio Wade and Gerald really know their theology.

00:47:05.000 You know, I will say this.

00:47:05.000 You're saying I don't shine any other time?

00:47:07.000 Not on the comedy days.

00:47:10.000 So that's every other day, this is a comedy show.

00:47:12.000 Let's be honest, Scrapyard, it's not your strong suit.

00:47:14.000 It's not, you're right.

00:47:17.000 People don't realize that's when you first came on the show.

00:47:19.000 Before you were on the show, I would ask you questions about the Bible, theology, and sort of Islam, because I know that you taught some of these courses at churches.

00:47:26.000 And I said, you know what?

00:47:27.000 You've got a good voice.

00:47:28.000 You've got a great voice for radio.

00:47:29.000 You're articulate.

00:47:30.000 Why don't you come on the show?

00:47:31.000 Nobody has stepped on jokes better than me since.

00:47:34.000 Well, there were no jokes, just complaints from the government of Pakistan on Twitter.

00:47:38.000 Oh, that's good.

00:47:39.000 Pakistan.

00:47:40.000 I've said this before.

00:47:41.000 Not a person in Pakistan.

00:47:43.000 Violation of Pakistan. 1.00

00:47:45.000 It's gotta make you feel good, though, right?

00:47:46.000 It makes me feel good.

00:47:47.000 The entire country hates you.

00:47:48.000 I'm not a big fan of Pakistanis, which, remember how much trouble George W. Bush got in because he used the word Paki? 0.66

00:47:53.000 That didn't used to be a racist term, it was an abbreviation.

00:47:55.000 Right.

00:47:55.000 And now, like, say Pakistani.

00:47:57.000 What am I, retired?

00:47:58.000 I don't have time to say...

00:48:00.000 I've got things to do.

00:48:01.000 I'm not drunk sitting over in fourth chair.

00:48:03.000 And I want to go back to the Mass Monday, but we were talking about that, like, Chinaman.

00:48:08.000 You were saying that that's never once been offensive to you.

00:48:10.000 Now again, if someone says it like, F you, Chinaman. 0.99

00:48:12.000 Yeah, but I'm not a bitch. 1.00

00:48:16.000 It wasn't intended to be racist, where the n-word was. 0.83

00:48:20.000 That's the difference.

00:48:21.000 I think people who focus so much on the words and they miss the intent are the problem.

00:48:25.000 Because really it doesn't take using a slur, or a semi-slur, or maybe potentially hypothetically a slur, or something like that.

00:48:34.000 It's all about the intent and what people are doing.

00:48:36.000 You can't listen to comedy and not feel a little offended.

00:48:39.000 Literally that is the essence of comedy itself.

00:48:41.000 Yeah.

00:48:42.000 And so knowing that someone is doing it with an intent to actually bring people closer together, and the part that I think is the most hilarious about it is most slurs that are used are actually some basis of the words that are used between the people within that race anyways.

00:48:55.000 And so just, hey.

00:48:57.000 What do Chinese people call other Chinese people?

00:49:00.000 Um, I can't say it on air.

00:49:02.000 So I remember when I was... He's so chatty when he drinks!

00:49:06.000 This is the most I've ever heard you speak.

00:49:08.000 I will ask you a question.

00:49:10.000 You know this, we will have a meeting, because Gibbon has now become the showrunner here.

00:49:15.000 He's been doing a great job, by the way.

00:49:16.000 He's been a fantastic showrunner.

00:49:17.000 He's absolutely wonderful.

00:49:18.000 Make sure the train's running on time.

00:49:18.000 But I will ask him a question.

00:49:19.000 I'll be like, hey, what happened here?

00:49:20.000 And what do you think?

00:49:21.000 He'll go, hmm.

00:49:24.000 That's it.

00:49:25.000 And then he comes back with a reasoned response, whereas right now, so don't make any, don't drink before any meetings.

00:49:31.000 Oh, I was going to say I should start drinking before meetings.

00:49:34.000 Yeah, you would think that right now.

00:49:36.000 Unwise.

00:49:37.000 I feel so happy. 0.99

00:49:39.000 What I was going to say, when I was a bitch, living in Los Angeles, I remember my, I had heard my grandmother say... 0.97

00:49:49.000 I had heard my grandmother say, Chinaman, and I remember thinking, like, whoa, grandma, that's kind of crazy. 0.98

00:49:54.000 And she was like, Irishman, Englishman, Chinaman, it's the same thing.

00:49:59.000 You're saying the same thing.

00:50:00.000 No one's mad at Martin Scorsese.

00:50:01.000 Right.

00:50:02.000 Well, some people are.

00:50:03.000 But that's mainly because, again, I don't have the time.

00:50:06.000 Four hours, come on.

00:50:07.000 Oh my god, the director's cut?

00:50:09.000 Please, does it come with a cyanide pill?

00:50:12.000 And Al Pacino's book of extensive accents, by the way, it's one page.

00:50:17.000 It's really just a booklet, like a do-not-rape pamphlet handed out in Germany on New Year's.

00:50:21.000 It's a trifold.

00:50:22.000 It is remarkable.

00:50:23.000 Yeah, Chinaman is a good example, like when we were doing the Kung-Fu fighting. 0.96

00:50:26.000 We had to censor it.

00:50:27.000 Now the guy, what's his name, Fred Douglas?

00:50:30.000 Fred Douglass?

00:50:31.000 I don't remember.

00:50:31.000 Something Douglass.

00:50:32.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:50:33.000 Carl Douglass.

00:50:34.000 We love you, Carl.

00:50:35.000 Now, you have to look at that intent.

00:50:36.000 So not only do you have the lyrics of the entire song.

00:50:39.000 So let's take this as an examination, right, of context.

00:50:41.000 And I was talking about George Bush saying Paki.

00:50:42.000 In the context, I said, you know, you have, for example, the trade with Pakis, they're not happy with. 1.00

00:50:47.000 He wasn't at all denigrating them.

00:50:49.000 He was actually, people have accused him of being too pro-Pakistan.

00:50:52.000 So in other words, and by the way, that was in Montreal.

00:50:54.000 That's what was used all the time.

00:50:55.000 Again, it wasn't intended to be racist.

00:50:57.000 Now that abbreviation is more racist than the lesser abbreviation.

00:51:01.000 But Chinaman, let's take that from Kung Fu Fighting because someone was arrested in the UK for singing Kung Fu Fighting.

00:51:08.000 We've talked about this at a karaoke bar.

00:51:10.000 Yeah, you can go back to a video.

00:51:11.000 We did a whole thing.

00:51:12.000 Maybe Maddie can bring the source up if she wants to. 0.99

00:51:13.000 Kung Fu Fighting arrested!

00:51:16.000 Now let's see, is this a situation with the absence of context?

00:51:21.000 No, it's a black guy in a Kung Fu uniform who is doing a song that is literally praising Chinese culture.

00:51:27.000 The entire thing.

00:51:28.000 Talking about how much he loves Kung Fu fighting.

00:51:31.000 Okay, so we look at that.

00:51:32.000 Doesn't seem like he hates anybody who's Chinese.

00:51:34.000 There it is.

00:51:35.000 Man arrested for singing Kung Fu fighting.

00:51:37.000 If we didn't bring it up, you would think I'm lying.

00:51:38.000 The only reason I bring up overlays is because I don't want you to think that I'm lying like CNN.

00:51:44.000 Um, he goes, okay, there were funky China men from funky Chinatown. 1.00

00:51:49.000 Was it, they were chopping round me up, they were chopping round me down?

00:51:52.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:51:52.000 Uh, it's an ancient Chinese art and everybody knows their part, knew their part.

00:51:56.000 Was it from a something to a kick, now we're into a brand new trick?

00:51:59.000 Everybody was kung fu fight- It's poetry. 1.00

00:52:01.000 Hold on.

00:52:02.000 Did I hear racism?

00:52:03.000 Yeah.

00:52:04.000 It's a love letter to the Chinese culture, which by the way, entirely false.

00:52:08.000 The kung fu fighting doesn't work, but he really liked it!

00:52:11.000 He was a fan of it!

00:52:13.000 It's just amazing to me.

00:52:14.000 You have to look at that and go, did he mean this as a racist term?

00:52:17.000 And it wasn't really considered a racist term at that point.

00:52:19.000 Now, if he walked up and was like, what's your problem, little drunk China man? 0.98

00:52:22.000 I'd be like, hey, Mr. Douglas.

00:52:24.000 Right.

00:52:24.000 But that's the bridge he's walking.

00:52:27.000 Yeah, he's Okinawan.

00:52:28.000 You pointed at me.

00:52:30.000 I did, just because you're drunk and I figured I could say it without getting in trouble, whereas if I said it to Bill, he could use it against me someday.

00:52:35.000 Yes.

00:52:37.000 Will use it against you someday.

00:52:39.000 I love Bill, but lawyer gonna lawyer.

00:52:42.000 And you've offended him because Okinawan's actually Japanese, not Chinese, and there's a thing.

00:52:50.000 You didn't sound offended, though, Bill!

00:52:52.000 Can you bring up a map?

00:52:54.000 And Gerald, do you have a pointer?

00:52:56.000 I do.

00:52:56.000 Here, let me... If you look here... What was it that happened that changed my mind?

00:53:01.000 Where someone was racist to you?

00:53:03.000 Yeah, there was a kid.

00:53:05.000 He was an Asian kid. 0.99

00:53:07.000 And he was talking about how all white people are terrible and we should all get cancer. 0.98

00:53:12.000 And I said to him, I was like, you know, actually, I'm Japanese. 0.99

00:53:16.000 And he said, Oh, well, you should have been there when we bombed you.

00:53:19.000 Oh, wow.

00:53:23.000 I don't know.

00:53:24.000 Yeah.

00:53:24.000 I mean, I don't know that I'm offended.

00:53:26.000 But no, I'm not.

00:53:29.000 But I do think it wasn't very nice.

00:53:31.000 It was not.

00:53:32.000 Yeah.

00:53:32.000 Not nice to say.

00:53:33.000 Well, keep eating your crackers.

00:53:34.000 Very impractical.

00:53:34.000 So here's something else.

00:53:35.000 So we did Mass Monday, and I say this is Audio Wade and Gerald Strong suit when we do the Mass Mondays.

00:53:39.000 Now, I'm one of those guys, I've read the Bible through, like, cover to cover three times.

00:53:43.000 I did the one-year Bible.

00:53:44.000 But it doesn't mean that I retained all of it.

00:53:46.000 And then it was, what was that CD series that you had me?

00:53:48.000 It was about the Bible in 24 hours?

00:53:50.000 Yeah, that was actually more useful than reading through the whole Bible.

00:53:52.000 Oh, yeah.

00:53:53.000 And then I realized it was kind of one of those, it wasn't a religious thing, I just wanted to have read the whole Bible, but then unfortunately, I forgot.

00:54:00.000 Look, Jacob's Ladder, I can tell you more about the horror film than the story in the Bible.

00:54:03.000 I don't know why.

00:54:05.000 Why is Jacob's Ladder so important culturally?

00:54:07.000 It's a fever dream.

00:54:08.000 Yeah.

00:54:09.000 People, like, Jacob's Ladder is a colloquialism, it's like, people who don't know anything about, what about Esther?

00:54:13.000 I don't know, I just, Jacob's Ladder is a thing.

00:54:15.000 I saw it, CrossFit, they have this thing called Jacob's Ladder, it's really hard, I get grabbed in my house.

00:54:20.000 Like for some reason it's given undue importance to Jacob's letter.

00:54:23.000 It really is, yes.

00:54:24.000 So you guys know this pretty well, and we did this last Monday.

00:54:28.000 We did Mass Monday.

00:54:30.000 On Rettinlink, what they call spiritual deconstruction, they left the faith.

00:54:34.000 And I don't want to use that term.

00:54:35.000 They basically abandoned their faith as Christians.

00:54:37.000 And here's one thing that I want to keep in context here.

00:54:41.000 I do things that I regret all the time.

00:54:44.000 People who say, no regrets.

00:54:46.000 What?

00:54:46.000 Like, I don't relate to that person at all.

00:54:48.000 Like, when I watch a film and there's a guy in his deathbed and he's like, I can say I regretted nothing. 0.99

00:54:53.000 I'm like, what an asshole, right? 0.99

00:54:55.000 There's no way that's true. 1.00

00:54:57.000 Not very self-aware.

00:54:58.000 Of course I have regrets.

00:54:59.000 I have regrets from yesterday.

00:55:01.000 AudioWave, you were there.

00:55:02.000 And I made a joke because I was drinking milk straight from the carton because I'm the only one who drinks goat's milk at the house.

00:55:08.000 And then I was like, oh, this is four days expired.

00:55:10.000 I think it was seven.

00:55:11.000 Seven?

00:55:11.000 Yeah.

00:55:12.000 I regret that.

00:55:15.000 You should.

00:55:16.000 Certainly. 1.00

00:55:17.000 On behalf of yourself and your asshole. 1.00

00:55:18.000 Yes, yes. 1.00

00:55:20.000 I'm pretty sure that Gibbon's going to have some regrets.

00:55:23.000 He will.

00:55:23.000 I mean, for crying out loud, he looks like a bruised peach.

00:55:27.000 I feel terrible.

00:55:29.000 You're back to hungover already?

00:55:30.000 Well, drink water!

00:55:31.000 I wanted to see how fast it would take.

00:55:33.000 It took 40 seconds.

00:55:35.000 You don't have to keep drinking.

00:55:36.000 You've proven the point.

00:55:38.000 Move on, sir.

00:55:39.000 We don't need a geneticist to come in here.

00:55:41.000 Every time the camera goes away, I whisper to him, keep drinking.

00:55:46.000 I want to be clear.

00:55:49.000 I've done some things that I'm not proud of in my life.

00:55:51.000 I've gotten things wrong.

00:55:53.000 I, of course, have regrets.

00:55:54.000 But when it came to addressing the Rhett and Link podcast, where they effectively are trying to drive thousands of young people away from Christ, that's really what they're doing.

00:56:02.000 As a Christian, I don't think that's a good thing.

00:56:06.000 As much care as we possibly could.

00:56:08.000 It's about as nice of a show as we've done.

00:56:10.000 It was.

00:56:10.000 It was really tame.

00:56:12.000 It really was.

00:56:13.000 And this was the response from Rhett and Link.

00:56:17.000 This is the change my mind meme, and that's Steven Crowder.

00:56:21.000 Or as I like to call him, Steven Piece of Sh** Crowder.

00:56:24.000 He's a podcaster at TCU who sat outside with a sign that said, male privilege is a myth.

00:56:30.000 Change my mind.

00:56:31.000 And the meme is used to convey strong, hot takes on topics that are actually important or completely unimportant.

00:56:38.000 Okay.

00:56:39.000 Let's see a few examples.

00:56:41.000 Okay.

00:56:42.000 Wow. 0.99

00:56:43.000 So we don't, but you don't need to believe a Steven piece of shit Crowder. 0.99

00:56:46.000 Far be it for me to argue, by the way. 0.96

00:56:48.000 Be that as it may, like my, I want to be clear. 0.99

00:56:51.000 My primary issue here is not with being called a piece of shit. 0.99

00:56:55.000 Yes. 0.99

00:56:55.000 I am a little bit upset because I think that's a wonderful insult. 0.99

00:56:58.000 And now I can't use it because this angry lesbian producer used it. 1.00

00:57:01.000 And I don't say it as an insult. 0.99

00:57:02.000 She's an angry lesbian producer. 1.00

00:57:03.000 I still use it in emails to you. 0.97

00:57:05.000 It's true, you do.

00:57:06.000 There's something about it.

00:57:07.000 That I just love.

00:57:07.000 It's excellent.

00:57:08.000 It's excellent because it's like you're not even giving the credit of being the entire evacuation. 1.00

00:57:13.000 No, you're in my phone as Steven, piece of shit. 1.00

00:57:15.000 Really? 1.00

00:57:16.000 It's a long name but it's worth it. 1.00

00:57:17.000 You're the worst part of the piece of crap. 1.00

00:57:20.000 You're the Curly Q. 1.00

00:57:26.000 By the way, out of everything I've said on this podcast... Show them laughing there, Courtney Blacker.

00:57:30.000 By the way, out of everything I've said on this podcast, this is what?

00:57:33.000 No, no, but it's so real, man.

00:57:36.000 Literally, everyone... Those are starting to get a little ragged.

00:57:38.000 I am getting a little ragged.

00:57:40.000 I didn't ID Brock.

00:57:41.000 I'm laughing.

00:57:41.000 But actually, that is one of the things I'm sure... Did someone get a bat in here?

00:57:46.000 Everyone at home right now is like, you know, I never called it a curlicue.

00:57:51.000 But I know exactly what he's talking about.

00:57:53.000 I will tell you this story, because it's absolutely true.

00:57:56.000 When I was a kid, I was... I don't remember many things from before three years old, but I was two years old and I remember this.

00:58:00.000 I was just telling Gibbon, I drank an entire... Like, I should have permanent liver damage because I drank an entire bottle of Tylenol twice.

00:58:07.000 Why?

00:58:08.000 I was a kid. 1.00

00:58:08.000 Because I was an idiot. 1.00

00:58:09.000 I was two. 1.00

00:58:10.000 My brother... My mom was... We had cold, so she was giving us, like, the children's Tylenol.

00:58:14.000 And so she's like, okay, we're going to give you each a spoonful.

00:58:16.000 Yeah, the liquid.

00:58:17.000 And she goes, okay, Jordan, here's yours.

00:58:19.000 And she turns back and I went, Finished it!

00:58:22.000 She's like, oh my god!

00:58:24.000 E-R-L. 0.99

00:58:24.000 And then when they pumped my stomach, my brother, being the little pissant that he was, they put stickers on it. 0.99

00:58:30.000 I don't know what that is.

00:58:31.000 It's not how they pump you, but they have the stickers.

00:58:33.000 You know like an E.T.

00:58:34.000 when he's in the fridge and goes, ouch.

00:58:35.000 So they had stickers on me.

00:58:36.000 One of them had a smiley face.

00:58:37.000 My brother tried to steal it for his scrapbook.

00:58:39.000 He pulled the sticker off of me.

00:58:42.000 That is great.

00:58:43.000 So anyway, I did a lot of things like that when I was a kid, but I do remember, you know, I used to take, when I was two, I would have been two, my brother might have been, yeah, four, we would take baths together.

00:58:52.000 And so my mom takes my brother out of the bath, she's toweling him off.

00:58:55.000 I'm like, Mom, I gotta go to the bathroom.

00:58:58.000 Sorry, I don't know if I should not tell this.

00:58:59.000 I think it's okay.

00:59:00.000 I think we know where it's going.

00:59:01.000 No, no, no, no, you don't know where this is going!

00:59:03.000 The statute of limitations on child abuse is over.

00:59:05.000 You don't know where this is going.

00:59:06.000 And so she's toweling off my brother, and I remember going, like, kinda, you know, doing this, like, I've got it, I've got it.

00:59:11.000 And she's like, just wait!

00:59:13.000 The pee-pee dance.

00:59:14.000 Yes.

00:59:15.000 And so I did.

00:59:15.000 I pooted.

00:59:17.000 And it had the curly cue.

00:59:21.000 And it was very sharp.

00:59:23.000 And I don't know if you know this, but when you've pulled the plug, you know, there's a current.

00:59:26.000 Yes.

00:59:26.000 And so whatever's in the bathtub starts going around.

00:59:28.000 So I'm standing there while she's toweling off my brother, and I can see the pointy poop coming around, and I'm picturing, like, a scorpion.

00:59:35.000 I remember it looked like a scorpion's tail.

00:59:36.000 And it started getting close.

00:59:37.000 I'm like, Mom?

00:59:38.000 Mom?

00:59:39.000 Mom? 0.99

00:59:40.000 It just ran out, jumped out, butt naked, because I thought I was going to get stabbed by my own excrement-curling cue. 0.98

00:59:46.000 Yeah, that's scary. 0.93

00:59:47.000 I remember that clear as day.

00:59:50.000 Ladies and gentlemen, you now see what has caused Steven to be who he is today.

00:59:54.000 And out of everything that I've said to you today, that's what you will remember. 0.70

00:59:59.000 Afraid of his own poop.

01:00:00.000 Absolutely.

01:00:01.000 I was.

01:00:02.000 I was afraid of my own poop.

01:00:03.000 And that was the most frustrating point with this, going back to the story.

01:00:06.000 It's like, we did really bad.

01:00:07.000 That I was afraid of my poop?

01:00:08.000 No, no, no, no, no.

01:00:10.000 This disappoints you?

01:00:11.000 No, none of this disappoints me.

01:00:12.000 That was a hard segue.

01:00:13.000 I did.

01:00:14.000 Hard.

01:00:14.000 Thank you, Steven, for that story.

01:00:16.000 I didn't even know we could use that term.

01:00:18.000 Yeah, but we've bent over backwards to be kind, and if you listened to our entire discussion, you understood that, one, we were first and foremost concerned for them, like, hey man, we're really sorry that you ended up in this place.

01:00:29.000 We said that we loved them, invited them on the show, that you're more than welcome to come on the show, we would love to speak with Rhett and Link.

01:00:34.000 Yeah, exactly.

01:00:35.000 And I read some comments that said, you know, Steven must have been triggered, because he sounded, you know, blah blah blah, and I was like, triggered?

01:00:41.000 What are you talking about?

01:00:42.000 One, we don't do that anyway, but two, nothing that we said... Yeah, I'm triggered by Good Mythical Morning.

01:00:50.000 Anyway.

01:00:51.000 I am actually curbing any instinct that I have right now to be as extra loving as possible.

01:00:58.000 Did you see that clip?

01:01:00.000 It was pretty bad.

01:01:01.000 That homonym, it's nothing personal.

01:01:04.000 It's what I do.

01:01:05.000 I was pissed off that they actually whited out the sign.

01:01:07.000 I mean, which change my mind was it?

01:01:09.000 I don't know.

01:01:10.000 I need to know.

01:01:11.000 They said it, Cheryl.

01:01:12.000 They said it.

01:01:13.000 Well, they said one of them that he did.

01:01:15.000 You don't want to know what gummy worm is best?

01:01:19.000 So a couple of things here that I think are really important, and then we do have to get going and we do have to hook giving up to an IV drip.

01:01:26.000 Yeah, he needs some help.

01:01:28.000 Medical attention is coming, don't worry.

01:01:29.000 Right.

01:01:31.000 First off, they're really concerned about being brand safe. 0.98

01:01:33.000 I'm not sure if calling someone a piece of shit is brand safe, but maybe on YouTube it's brand safe as long as you do it with the right people. 0.99

01:01:38.000 Because we've been specifically told nothing that involves piece of shit will ever be monetized or advertiser friendly. 0.99

01:01:44.000 Can I say that? 0.99

01:01:45.000 That's been very clear.

01:01:46.000 Yes.

01:01:47.000 It's been very clear, in no uncertain terms. 1.00

01:01:50.000 Like, yeah, you know, when you say, like, Don Lemon, or even The Who, what a piece of shit. 0.98

01:01:55.000 Like, that's not gonna be advertising friendly. 0.99

01:01:58.000 But apparently it's brand friendly as long as, you know, you're eating pancakes with a faux hawk.

01:02:02.000 Right on the trending page.

01:02:03.000 Right.

01:02:04.000 So that's absolutely fine.

01:02:06.000 I don't have any problem with that.

01:02:08.000 I want to be crystal clear.

01:02:10.000 But the brand safe thing, that's what we're going to talk about on Mass Monday, that's not a value, that's not a principle, that's not a virtue.

01:02:14.000 And it's the same argument that they use to make the case that all churches will be allowing gay marriage because otherwise they'll die.

01:02:20.000 No.

01:02:20.000 Just appearing in the popularities, that's one of the intellectual fallacies that you

01:02:24.000 learn about in Logic 101.

01:02:26.000 And something else that's very interesting, maybe they think it's more, maybe they don't

01:02:30.000 want to be un-brand safe.

01:02:31.000 So I commented on the video, and here's the thing, I want to be clear, I'm not a guy who

01:02:37.000 does the YouTube drama thing.

01:02:38.000 We avoid it.

01:02:39.000 Like, my rule is this, try to only punch up, and then if we call someone out, we offer

01:02:45.000 them some kind of recourse.

01:02:46.000 In other words, we're not going to just debate or have anyone on the show who says, why don't

01:02:49.000 Because you're an egg. 0.97

01:02:53.000 It's because you're an egg on Twitter. 0.99

01:02:55.000 I have no interest. 0.94

01:02:56.000 Or, you know, you get a fracture.

01:02:57.000 Like, we can't do it with everyone.

01:02:58.000 But if I call out, for example, if Samantha Bee says, hey, I'm tired of it, we will have her on tomorrow. 0.91

01:03:03.000 Seth Meyers tomorrow.

01:03:05.000 Anyone from the Young Turks tomorrow.

01:03:06.000 Vox tomorrow.

01:03:07.000 That's the rule.

01:03:08.000 So my name came out of your mouth there at Rhett and Link.

01:03:12.000 Good Mythical Morning.

01:03:13.000 That's the only reason that I responded. 0.99

01:03:15.000 And so I responded to Steven, piece of shit Crowder, underneath the video. 0.73

01:03:20.000 I want to make sure that I'm quoting directly, but I can't because they hid the comments, which I'll get to. 0.97

01:03:24.000 It was, ha ha ha ha ha.

01:03:26.000 Ha.

01:03:28.000 Okay, that's about right, yeah.

01:03:32.000 That was a comment!

01:03:33.000 And then after that, so we can bring this up right here, I think we have a screen recording, we don't need the audio, you can just use it as b-roll.

01:03:38.000 Then I realized that none of the comments were showing up.

01:03:41.000 Now here's the thing that's kind of, and we use ExpressVPN by the way, go to expressvpn.com slash Crowder, you get a discount.

01:03:46.000 They're wonderful.

01:03:47.000 We did the same thing with the Tulsi Gabbard situation.

01:03:50.000 If you go and use an ExpressVPN and go sort of an incognito mode, the comments don't show up.

01:03:55.000 So when you leave a comment on someone's channel and they hide it, you don't see it from your profile.

01:04:00.000 Yours will always show up. 0.88

01:04:02.000 So you'll go, oh, I guess it's still there.

01:04:03.000 Then when we use ExpressVPN, look, now it's gone.

01:04:07.000 And even responding to people saying, hey, you know what, this is kind of weird that you do this with Stephen.

01:04:11.000 Like, he actually seems pretty respectful.

01:04:13.000 And I said, hey, you know, just so you know, I actually grew up with Rhett and Link on YouTube.

01:04:16.000 I'm a fan.

01:04:17.000 I would love to have them on the show.

01:04:18.000 Just because we disagree on the premises of theology, philosophy, does not mean that we can't respectfully disagree and have civil dialogue.

01:04:24.000 Those comments were hidden.

01:04:26.000 So to me, that's hit-and-run cowardice.

01:04:33.000 16 million subscribers, obviously a bigger channel.

01:04:35.000 When we rebut points and we use biblical verses and we rebut it theologically and say, well, we think that this is actually incorrect and we would love to talk about this if they want to.

01:04:44.000 Otherwise, we're going to continue doing Mass Mondays, which we do behind the paywall, doing Mug Club every single week.

01:04:48.000 This isn't something new that was exclusive to Rhett and Link.

01:04:50.000 They shouldn't feel that special. 0.99

01:04:52.000 And then they respond with, haha, what a piece of shit, on a channel with four times the subscribers, and then hide comments that are civil and respectful. 1.00

01:05:02.000 That means that, that is cowardly. 1.00

01:05:03.000 And not only that, that also tells you that there's no interest in a dialogue.

01:05:07.000 When they said, when Rhett and Link said, we really hope that us coming out and talking about our deconstruction encourages discourse or dialogue.

01:05:14.000 Well, hold on a second.

01:05:14.000 What kind of discourse or dialogue?

01:05:16.000 Do you mean a group of Christian people saying that they love you and they wish the best for you and that they disagree with you and hope that maybe you might look into some of these arguments and do some research and see why there's validity to it?

01:05:25.000 And then say, we respectfully invite you onto the show.

01:05:27.000 We would love to talk about it as brothers in the Lord and a spirit of love. 1.00

01:05:31.000 Then you call them a piece of shit and they say, ha ha ha, that's kind of funny. 0.99

01:05:33.000 I would still gladly and respectfully host you on the show. 1.00

01:05:35.000 Hide.

01:05:36.000 Delete.

01:05:36.000 What kind of discourse were you looking for?

01:05:39.000 You have no interest in discourse.

01:05:41.000 You only have interest in pats on the back. 1.00

01:05:43.000 Because you're cowards. 1.00

01:05:45.000 It is cowardly to do that. 1.00

01:05:46.000 You will never hear me on this show.

01:05:48.000 Call someone out.

01:05:49.000 Like Sanjay Gupta.

01:05:50.000 Guy looks weird.

01:05:51.000 Don't like him.

01:05:52.000 Not even sure he's a doctor.

01:05:56.000 John King looks like a bobblehead with a neck that's broken.

01:05:59.000 Okay?

01:05:59.000 If they want to come on the show, he'd just be on the dashboard and you'd be going, whack, whack, and he falls.

01:06:04.000 That's it.

01:06:04.000 He don't bobble.

01:06:05.000 If he wanted to come on the show, I would have to be held account.

01:06:09.000 The Book of Judgment.

01:06:10.000 Did you in fact say that?

01:06:11.000 I did say that.

01:06:12.000 Yeah, that sounds accurate. 1.00

01:06:13.000 Because I'm a piece of shit. 1.00

01:06:14.000 You heard Rhett and Link. 1.00

01:06:17.000 To do that is a parting shot.

01:06:18.000 My point is, there's no interest in dialogue.

01:06:19.000 When people say this, it's like, what would you have to do?

01:06:22.000 What would you have to do beyond that to actually engage in a conversation of ideas?

01:06:26.000 There's nothing I can think of.

01:06:27.000 They don't want to say anything.

01:06:28.000 I mean, that's the long and short of it.

01:06:30.000 It doesn't help their narrative to just say, hey, everyone who's following us, don't go listen to this.

01:06:37.000 This guy's terrible.

01:06:38.000 He has no opinions.

01:06:39.000 Because they can't actually address the opinions themselves.

01:06:42.000 They can't address the points and the arguments and the verses.

01:06:45.000 in the scripture that were brought up during that rebuttal.

01:06:47.000 And if their position was so strong, they would have been ready to be able to do it. 1.00

01:06:52.000 But they weren't ready for those types of arguments that attack their position, and so the only thing they have is, Lord, a piece of shit. 0.99

01:07:00.000 And even if they didn't see the Mass Monday, even if they were just responding to you as the cultural figure, then The only argument that she made, if it was an argument, was he sat outside of TCU with a sign that said, male privilege is a myth. 0.99

01:07:15.000 I mean, come on.

01:07:16.000 It is, yeah.

01:07:17.000 Right, yeah, exactly. 1.00

01:07:18.000 So is that the argument that you're a piece of shit? 1.00

01:07:20.000 I don't think so. 1.00

01:07:21.000 I don't think it was.

01:07:21.000 I don't know if it was that or the rape culture is a myth.

01:07:23.000 I don't remember.

01:07:24.000 By the way, do you know how I know rape culture is a myth? 0.97

01:07:26.000 Because I'm informed by a Christian worldview and also the history of Western civilization, which was founded on Christian principles, unlike Islamic societies or Buddhist societies or Taoists.

01:07:34.000 Take your pick.

01:07:34.000 I've learned about Taoism in college.

01:07:36.000 What is Taoism?

01:07:36.000 I don't know anything about it.

01:07:37.000 It seems like a made-up... It's made up?

01:07:39.000 Is it made up?

01:07:39.000 You're drunk.

01:07:39.000 You don't need to answer.

01:07:40.000 We'll assume it's made up.

01:07:41.000 It's a religion of tea, I guess.

01:07:43.000 No, and we would give them an opportunity.

01:07:45.000 Hey guys, if you disagree with what your producer said, you have every opportunity to correct the record. 1.00

01:07:49.000 You have every opportunity to say, hey, we don't really think Steven Crowder's a piece of shit. 0.99

01:07:52.000 She said that and she shouldn't have. 0.99

01:07:54.000 Floor is yours, guys.

01:07:55.000 Go for it. 0.99

01:07:55.000 Angry lesbian producer going to angry lesbian producer. 0.99

01:07:57.000 Right. 0.94

01:07:58.000 And we would understand.

01:07:59.000 I'd be like, yeah, sure, that's fine.

01:08:00.000 Yeah, I understand it.

01:08:01.000 I wouldn't even expect you to come to my defense.

01:08:02.000 No.

01:08:03.000 I wouldn't come to my defense.

01:08:04.000 That's not my issue.

01:08:05.000 You should.

01:08:06.000 No!

01:08:06.000 That's not my issue.

01:08:07.000 You can call me whatever you want.

01:08:08.000 My issue is throwing out parting shots, and I want to be very clear.

01:08:11.000 This is not ad hominem.

01:08:13.000 This isn't making fun of just an appearance.

01:08:15.000 This is a shot over the bow at your character. 0.99

01:08:19.000 That's cowardly. 0.98

01:08:20.000 It is cowardly to do that and then not allow any recourse.

01:08:23.000 Okay?

01:08:24.000 These are just the ABCs of me.

01:08:26.000 We don't do that on this show.

01:08:27.000 And I get it.

01:08:28.000 You don't have to debate any single person who asks you to.

01:08:31.000 You have 16 million subscribers.

01:08:32.000 We don't do that.

01:08:33.000 But if my name left your lips, it's cowardly to do a parting shot and then delete any record of someone responding.

01:08:41.000 Especially, and I think, by the way, Especially when it's respectful.

01:08:44.000 If we weren't respectful, if we were responding in kind, they probably would have left it up and said, see, I think the fact that we were saying, hey, hey, hey, I don't harbor any ill will, I can't even show you the comments because I've disappeared, but I would love to respectfully host them on the show, that actually makes them more inclined.

01:08:59.000 I think that Rhett and Link, we're going to do this on Monday, another Mass Monday, and I want to be clear, Rhett and Link, when I came up on YouTube, like I've been on YouTube since 2007, they started early on, first movers.

01:09:08.000 I respect them with that.

01:09:10.000 But I do think that Rhett and Link are going to be surprised as to how much they come out of this the bad guy.

01:09:18.000 Because I know I'm like the supervillain, the Vox Apocalypse, where YouTube had the change policy and I say naughty words and Rhett and Link are brand safe.

01:09:25.000 But I think people can smell it on you when they sense cowardice, when they sense bullying.

01:09:31.000 And by the way, a 16 million channel responding viciously to a respectful rebuttal That's bullying. 0.98

01:09:38.000 You guys are bullies. 0.99

01:09:39.000 I don't know how that works into your deconstruction because you thought the Christians weren't empathetic, but you're bullies. 1.00

01:09:44.000 You're cowardly bullies, and I would love to hash this. 0.99

01:09:47.000 We don't have to, but I'm just letting them know. 0.99

01:09:49.000 We're going to talk about it Monday and be very respectful.

01:09:51.000 I was going to say that we're not the only ones that think this, though, because in the comments, if you go through... Yeah, a lot of those are hidden as well, though.

01:09:57.000 Really.

01:09:57.000 There's a lot of people in there that I saw right whenever they uploaded it that were like, hey, I watch Steven Crowder.

01:10:02.000 I watch you guys.

01:10:03.000 I like both of you.

01:10:04.000 Why are you being mean?

01:10:05.000 He has a lot of good points.

01:10:06.000 So it's not just us saying it.

01:10:08.000 It's their fans watching and saying it too.

01:10:10.000 Right.

01:10:10.000 Yeah.

01:10:11.000 It seems kind of weird.

01:10:12.000 That doesn't seem weird.

01:10:13.000 I'm not surprised at all.

01:10:15.000 It seems weird to people that are fans of theirs and ours.

01:10:17.000 You know what?

01:10:18.000 I will say this.

01:10:20.000 Yeah.

01:10:20.000 And I will say this, because they talk about it in their Mass Monday thing.

01:10:22.000 I know some people think, oh, big surprise that you went to L.A.

01:10:25.000 and now you're no longer a Christian.

01:10:26.000 They try and cut it off at the pass.

01:10:28.000 That's exactly what's happened.

01:10:29.000 And I say this as someone who has lived in California, as someone who has a lot of friends in California.

01:10:33.000 I've seen it happen.

01:10:34.000 And by the way, you do have to be honest.

01:10:36.000 Like, you chose, AudioWade and I were talking about this, you did choose to go.

01:10:40.000 to Los Angeles and be a part of the entertainment industry.

01:10:43.000 You wanted to, so it's like someone saying, well, listen, I don't wear, I mean,

01:10:47.000 do you think that I'm just wearing this crest because it went to this country club?

01:10:51.000 Like, no, you wanted to join it, you chose to join that country club.

01:10:55.000 That's why you're wearing the crest.

01:10:57.000 You chose to become a part of that industry in that state, and now you're putting on their team jersey.

01:11:01.000 So yeah, you may say you always wanted to do that, but that's why you went to Los Angeles.

01:11:04.000 That is important.

01:11:05.000 People, you need to understand.

01:11:07.000 Yes.

01:11:08.000 And when you see someone who says, I know people will say this and they try to cut it off of the past, but they don't have a valid argument.

01:11:14.000 That's how you understand the importance, the value of your surrounding.

01:11:18.000 You need to have positive association.

01:11:20.000 You need to surround yourself with people, not only when we're talking about spiritual issues, but people who will help you elevate your game in all facets, be it physically, be it mentally, spiritually, emotionally.

01:11:30.000 You don't want to hang around people who turn you into something you're not or just drag you down.

01:11:34.000 Okay, I do want to end this on a positive note.

01:11:36.000 Are you feeling better?

01:11:36.000 Are you coming through?

01:11:37.000 Yeah, no, I'm feeling pretty good.

01:11:40.000 Steven, I just wanted to say that I'm a realist.

01:11:42.000 This is the first and probably the last time that I'm going to be on the show.

01:11:46.000 You're actually surprisingly good with a couple of drops of bourbon.

01:11:52.000 Yeah, I know, but I mean, I had a great time.

01:11:54.000 This is a dream come true as someone who was a fan before working on the show.

01:11:58.000 Really?

01:11:58.000 Yeah, really.

01:11:59.000 Aim your sights higher.

01:12:02.000 Maybe one day you'll get on Reddit, Link. 1.00

01:12:06.000 Yeah, you piece of shit! 1.00

01:12:07.000 I really do want to issue a heartfelt apology to my father. 1.00

01:12:10.000 Dad, I'm sorry.

01:12:12.000 What?

01:12:12.000 Oh, no, it was my boy.

01:12:13.000 You bring a great shame!

01:12:17.000 What I teach you, stick to weaker of ultra or else!

01:12:22.000 No bourbon!

01:12:23.000 Our people no bourbon!

01:12:25.000 So I wanted to, in all of this chaos that's been going on, a lot of people don't realize today is Good Friday, right?

01:12:31.000 And Easter Sunday is coming up, so I just wanted to wish all of the people out there a happy Easter weekend.

01:12:37.000 I know this is a very big day.

01:12:38.000 And it likely will be the peak, by the way.

01:12:39.000 They're saying Easter will be the actual peak of COVID-19.

01:12:42.000 So very happy to be doing a Mass Monday the day after Easter.

01:12:45.000 Yeah, I really appreciate it.

01:12:46.000 He is risen.

01:12:47.000 He is risen.

01:12:47.000 Indeed it is.

01:12:48.000 I know, I say some things, kind of naughty sometimes, teehee, but yeah, I'm a Christian.

01:12:52.000 Let me leave you with something that, again, Please do hit the notification bell, because subscriptions don't mean a whole lot.

01:13:30.000 Oh! 0.60

01:13:30.000 That's fantastic. 0.60

01:13:31.000 Yeah, so I wanted to tell you a story that I can't bring Johnny Boy and my Canadian friend.

01:13:36.000 But after we did the Jean Guy video game stream... First off, let me preface this.

01:13:40.000 This is why I don't argue when someone calls me a piece of S-word.

01:13:45.000 Because I do things like this.

01:13:46.000 I went to Taco Bell.

01:13:48.000 Understandable.

01:13:49.000 No.

01:13:50.000 No, it's not.

01:13:50.000 Don't, don't, don't absolve me of this.

01:13:52.000 No, I'm not.

01:13:53.000 I'm saying you make bad decisions late at night when you're hungry.

01:13:55.000 Place me in a burlap robe.

01:13:57.000 It should be the Da Vinci Co.

01:13:58.000 just non-stop.

01:14:00.000 As a matter of fact, I immediately regretted my decision.

01:14:03.000 So when I got home, I started spraying down the bag and then I said, these people aren't going to follow the sanitary.

01:14:09.000 So I just threw it in the garbage.

01:14:11.000 I got a Steak Crunchwrap Supreme and a Chalupa and I said, ah, this is, this is, no.

01:14:16.000 There's an acceptable risk, this is not it.

01:14:18.000 But, there was a lady who brightened my night, and I want to say thank you so much to this lady, and I need to explain why this was so funny.

01:14:25.000 So you guys all know Johnny Boy.

01:14:27.000 Have you ever seen him, when he laughs, he gets, not quite as red as you, but he gets really red.

01:14:32.000 He gets beet red when he laughs. 0.84

01:14:34.000 And I will say this, we've talked about this, there is nothing, and I knew this going in, there is nothing that Johnny Boy, he's an ultra white Canadian, Acadian bloodline, that he finds funnier than sassy black women. 0.65

01:14:47.000 No, some people say it's racist, I don't care, he just finds it so funny, like we've talked about, endearing.

01:14:53.000 And so we're driving through Taco Bell, and you know, this is a sassy black lady, and I don't know how old, like she could have been from 30 to 60, I have no idea. 1.00

01:15:00.000 It's very hard to guess.

01:15:02.000 Very blind age judger there. 1.00

01:15:04.000 So I order a steak, what is it where it's not a crunch wrap, but it's like wrapped but has like crunchy things in it, but it's not, anyway.

01:15:09.000 It's all the same thing.

01:15:10.000 Cheesy gordita crunch?

01:15:12.000 Maybe it was that.

01:15:13.000 I have no idea.

01:15:14.000 I love how even when he's drunk, that for some reason is prioritized.

01:15:20.000 She's a gordita crunch. 1.00

01:15:21.000 Being able to walk and talk normally?

01:15:21.000 Do you have a sad life?

01:15:23.000 No.

01:15:23.000 Gordita, yes.

01:15:24.000 And his girlfriend is really something else.

01:15:26.000 Don't know how he does it.

01:15:28.000 So, let's assume that's what it is.

01:15:30.000 We go Cheesy Gordita Crunch.

01:15:32.000 I'll just say Steak Crunchwraps Supreme, because I'm not going to remember all the Taco Bell terms.

01:15:35.000 So, we then drive up to the window, and this is why it's so funny, because from my vantage point, right, so you're, okay, you're me, I'm Johnny, okay?

01:15:42.000 I see his face.

01:15:43.000 And then we drive up, and the window right behind him, as he drives up, it is a very large black woman with long braids, dyed red, and severe makeup, and surgical gloves. 0.99

01:15:57.000 And I see us drive up, and right away I can just see John kind of A little bit of this.

01:16:03.000 Just because you can see her.

01:16:06.000 This is nothing but good things.

01:16:07.000 It brightened our night.

01:16:08.000 It's been a tough week.

01:16:10.000 So John's right here, and she comes out and she goes, OK, you've got a chicken chalupa and a steak, whatever, and a chicken crunchwrap supreme.

01:16:20.000 And John's already kind of laughing.

01:16:23.000 No, that was steak.

01:16:24.000 And then she goes, she goes, it was steak!

01:16:27.000 What are you eating chicken tonight?

01:16:30.000 I'm just kidding.

01:16:31.000 It's steak, y'all!

01:16:33.000 And John is just sitting there going, ah, ah, ah!

01:16:37.000 He's like peeing himself, beet red.

01:16:39.000 So I can see him beet red.

01:16:40.000 And in the background, her just like, ah! 1.00

01:16:43.000 We're done with the night, and I will leave you with this.

01:16:47.000 She hands us the meal, folded very nicely in a bag on a tray with her surgical gloves, and John is laughing, and he reaches, he goes, thank you, and she hands it, she goes, yeah, social distances, y'all!

01:16:59.000 I got you, baby!

01:17:00.000 You have a good night!

01:17:01.000 You stay safe!

01:17:02.000 And just John was in tears.

01:17:04.000 We had to pull over.

01:17:05.000 He was laughing so hard.

01:17:07.000 Social distances, y'all!

01:17:09.000 And you know what?

01:17:10.000 Cultural differences, it is what makes day-to-day worth living.
