00:00:03.000 You're a strange animal, that's what I know. 0.99

00:00:10.000 You're too strange animal, I don't follow. 0.92

00:00:17.000 I'm a disabilitist. 0.93

00:00:20.000 You're too strange animal, I don't follow.

00:00:26.000 I'm a disabilitist.

00:00:30.000 I love that smell.

00:00:34.000 I'm the guy who, I go to the grocery stores, and there's always, if there's a, you know, if it gets puffy from the off-gassing on coffee, I squeeze it out, and I go, because then you get that smell, and then once all the air is out, you can't squeeze it anymore.

00:00:45.000 You spread the coronavirus.

00:00:47.000 No, I don't spread the coronavirus.

00:00:48.000 I don't.

00:00:48.000 I did that by licking the salt lamps at Bath & Beyond.

00:00:52.000 No, I told you that story.

00:00:52.000 Salt lamps?

00:00:53.000 Really?

00:00:54.000 Yeah.

00:00:54.000 Oh, you did.

00:00:55.000 Yes, I do remember that.

00:00:56.000 So they have salt lamps, and then they have a lamp, a salt lamp.

00:00:58.000 Do you know the story, by any way?

00:00:59.000 I don't think I've heard this.

00:01:00.000 Then they have a salt lamp that has... By the way, before I tell the story, quarantine is a promo code, $30 off.

00:01:05.000 VlogClubQuarantine is a hashtag.

00:01:09.000 We're doing livewithcowder.com slash schedule.

00:01:10.000 We're doing two shows a day because we want to best serve you, of course, in this quarantine, which for many of you could be ending in the next couple of weeks.

00:01:18.000 So we've enjoyed spending time with you, and we'll be doing life advice in a little bit.

00:01:23.000 Back to the important stuff. 0.95

00:01:24.000 Licking salty balls. 0.98

00:01:24.000 Back to the important stuff. 0.98

00:01:26.000 It's true, this is actually salt balls.

00:01:29.000 So it's a lamp, but this lamp in particular has perfectly spherical, very much unlike the earth.

00:01:36.000 If you go up in a helicopter, how do you land in the same place?

00:01:43.000 So it's like a bulb and it's a basket with a bunch of perfect, like ice balls, but they're Himalayan sea salt.

00:01:51.000 Is it Himalayan sea salt?

00:01:52.000 Aren't they mountains?

00:01:53.000 They're mountains.

00:01:54.000 So it's not Himalayan pink salt.

00:01:56.000 Pink salt, there we go.

00:01:57.000 So it's not sea salt.

00:01:58.000 Different thing.

00:01:59.000 The point is, I was looking and I was like, hold on, that looks like, remember those old massage balls they used to have in your hand?

00:02:06.000 Yeah.

00:02:07.000 I thought, maybe these aren't real, they just look like salt.

00:02:10.000 Okay.

00:02:11.000 And my wife was checking out something that would have been, you know, far more adult.

00:02:14.000 Right.

00:02:15.000 And I looked and I was like, well, this can't be, this can't be, this is long before Corona, by the way, okay?

00:02:19.000 Before you send the feds after me.

00:02:20.000 Way before.

00:02:23.000 And I went to see, and I swear to you, I hear, Steven Crowder?

00:02:29.000 It was someone who worked at Bed Bath & Beyond. 0.88

00:02:32.000 And we both had to act like you didn't just catch me licking the salt lamp balls.

00:02:36.000 Oh my gosh. 0.91

00:02:37.000 They were salty.

00:02:38.000 They were actual, because I have salt lamps.

00:02:39.000 Did you buy that one so you didn't infect anybody with anything?

00:02:42.000 It was a guilt bite.

00:02:44.000 It was a guilt bite and I was like, can I get the floor model?

00:02:46.000 I really want this one because there's something I just feel drawn to.

00:02:49.000 Then you gave it away at the office Christmas party to Quarter Black. 0.97

00:02:54.000 He got ApplePod smartphones.

00:02:58.000 Okay, so we're going to get some life advice.

00:02:59.000 You can send your... is it info at life... what is it?

00:03:02.000 I always forget.

00:03:03.000 It doesn't matter.

00:03:04.000 Ask!

00:03:05.000 Ask at ladderwithcratter.com.

00:03:07.000 No, that's not it.

00:03:08.000 That's lifeadvice at ladderwithcratter.com.

00:03:10.000 You're wrong.

00:03:11.000 You're wrong.

00:03:12.000 Stop smoking crack.

00:03:14.000 Crack and purple drink.

00:03:15.000 Not good for your short-term memory.

00:03:17.000 Not at all.

00:03:18.000 So here's my question for you.

00:03:19.000 Everyone talks about Donald Trump's attitude, right?

00:03:22.000 A lot of things that he says and his tweets.

00:03:24.000 I will say this, with all of these press briefings and this pandemic, it's a pandemic, I am kind of surprised as to how often President Trump gets things right.

00:03:35.000 And I want to know what you think about this.

00:03:37.000 Does it seem like there are more sort of like if he's taking a stab in the dark, he almost always hits something?

00:03:42.000 Have you noticed how he's been right about this?

00:03:44.000 It's no credit.

00:03:45.000 Nearly all of these, not even predictions, but some of these comments that he's made,

00:03:49.000 specifically the ones that the media have targeted, that they've latched onto, ultimately

00:03:53.000 he's been right about them.

00:03:54.000 And we'll go through, I guess, sort of the top examples here.

00:03:56.000 So let's kind of give you some context.

00:03:58.000 The media, of course, they've said, there's a trending today on Twitter.

00:04:01.000 I don't know if it's at this exact moment, but it was trending all day.

00:04:03.000 They're saying, stop airing these White House press briefings.

00:04:07.000 Because why would the media run press briefings from the Oval Office when they could have 0.99

00:04:12.000 a fat gay guy talk about them? 0.98

00:04:14.000 So unless you think I make this up, here is the media saying we need to stop running these. 0.98

00:04:19.000 But the president loves saying things like, you know, there's a drug we've got, it's very effective, it's approved already, everybody's gonna get it.

00:04:25.000 He loves saying things like that because that would be a lovely thing to be able to tell people.

00:04:28.000 How could you run the briefing instead of talk about it?

00:04:30.000 Unless, of course, that's not true.

00:04:32.000 In which case, telling people a fairy tale like that is cruel.

00:04:35.000 So all of us, whether you're a member of the media, or a U.S.

00:04:38.000 voter, or you're a citizen of another country watching us live on CNN International.

00:04:42.000 He wants to vote by mail.

00:04:43.000 All of us have to see it for what it is.

00:04:46.000 These are storytelling sessions.

00:04:48.000 These are infomercials, more than accurate sources of information.

00:04:51.000 He should return to his bed and cry for days on end because of COVID reporting.

00:04:57.000 We need another reset.

00:04:58.000 I crawled into my bed and cried with my wife, to whom I am attracted.

00:05:07.000 This, by the way, isn't a white supremacist symbol.

00:05:09.000 It means It's remarkable how many times Donald Trump has gotten it right.

00:05:15.000 So let's go through one here this week, I think.

00:05:18.000 Was it this week?

00:05:18.000 Last week?

00:05:19.000 They all blur together, especially when we're doing two shows a day.

00:05:21.000 I'm very tired.

00:05:23.000 The media tried to say that President Trump started a feud with governors, saying that states, we've read this, that states themselves should help ramp up testing.

00:05:31.000 is reporting more than 700,000 cases of coronavirus nationwide.

00:05:31.000 Well, the U.S.

00:05:36.000 As states begin to weigh when to relax social distancing measures, a key issue in that decision is testing for COVID-19.

00:05:44.000 President Trump says he's providing enough help for states to make their own choices, but some governors say the federal government needs to ramp up test kits.

00:05:53.000 It comes as protesters in Virginia, Minnesota, and Michigan are demanding an end to quarantine, while the president appears to be egging them on.

00:06:02.000 Just to be clear, even Mr. Nipple Barbell himself, while they were talking about governors, said that the president's state—this is a long clip, I warn you, but it's worth it—unilaterally agreed with the president's stance.

00:06:26.000 We've had conversations about it, and the president is right.

00:06:28.000 He's right.

00:06:31.000 States have to do what they have to step up on testing, and the federal government has to step up on testing.

00:06:40.000 Federal government is involved in testing, and they did a whole presentation at the president's briefing on testing, and what they're doing on testing.

00:06:49.000 What they're doing on testing?

00:06:51.000 And that's great.

00:06:53.000 And between the states and the federal government, we will do the best job we can.

00:06:59.000 Uh, what was the president's tweet?

00:07:01.000 Listen to this.

00:07:02.000 The king, I am right.

00:07:02.000 We will be with you all the way.

00:07:03.000 He said, just like I was right on ventilators, our country is now the king of ventilators.

00:07:08.000 I am right on testing.

00:07:10.000 Governors must be able to get the job done.

00:07:14.000 We will be with you all the way.

00:07:18.000 We will be with you all the way.

00:07:21.000 Great.

00:07:22.000 States must do their part and the federal government must do its part.

00:07:26.000 Perfect.

00:07:27.000 That's what's called partnership.

00:07:29.000 I agree.

00:07:30.000 Perfect.

00:07:30.000 I agree.

00:07:31.000 I don't know about that other inane crap, but I understand we have to sift through that until we get to the golden nugget. 0.98

00:07:38.000 And he's very agreeable, all the sudden. 0.99

00:07:40.000 Cuomo's just like, I don't know, what kind of dirt does Trump have on him?

00:07:43.000 I don't know. 0.99

00:07:46.000 He tapes down his nipples, so he's not getting the abrasions anymore. 0.76

00:07:51.000 It is never in my wildest dreams that we think that a press conference with a sitting governor would be reading a tweet from a president that sounded like that. 0.91

00:07:57.000 That was awesome.

00:07:58.000 We're the king of ventilators.

00:08:00.000 I don't know if he's in fact the king of ventilators.

00:08:05.000 I didn't vote for him.

00:08:06.000 You don't vote for your king of ventilators.

00:08:09.000 That's why I'm your king.

00:08:12.000 Born that way.

00:08:13.000 The lady came from the pond of COVID with the ventilator and named me ex-ventilator king.

00:08:22.000 So there's another one that Donald Trump talked about, and this was reported as Donald Trump saying, remember they said, Donald Trump said, this will go away as a miracle, all of this.

00:08:31.000 Warm weather, it'll come and this will go.

00:08:33.000 That's not what he said.

00:08:35.000 But again, if you look at something that he got He's almost an oracle in this sense.

00:08:40.000 I'm surprised because I didn't think that he would be this good.

00:08:48.000 So he didn't say it'll go away like a miracle.

00:08:52.000 What he did say is that maybe it would decrease in April once we saw warmer weather.

00:08:56.000 The virus.

00:08:56.000 Here's the quote.

00:08:59.000 Looks like by April, you know, in theory when it gets a little warmer it's Miraculously goes away.

00:09:04.000 I hope that's true.

00:09:05.000 First off, April, getting warmer in April is not a theory.

00:09:08.000 Yeah, that tends to happen most years.

00:09:10.000 That's an observable trend line.

00:09:12.000 I hope it gets warmer.

00:09:13.000 I'm not sure.

00:09:14.000 But when he says maybe it'll go away, who knows?

00:09:15.000 And I'll come back to why people shouldn't have jumped on Donald Trump.

00:09:18.000 Well, they dumped on Donald Trump too.

00:09:19.000 Shouldn't have jumped on him.

00:09:20.000 So it's now mid-April, in theory.

00:09:24.000 And Cuomo just announced that deaths are declining, of course.

00:09:27.000 They declared New York State past the peak, which is a big thing for them.

00:09:29.000 They needed a win.

00:09:30.000 They needed a big win.

00:09:30.000 They needed a win.

00:09:32.000 Obviously, our hearts go out to anyone affected by coronavirus, but also particularly those who still have to live in New York City.

00:09:39.000 So you got past that, you're still in New York City.

00:09:43.000 A new study from the government... Can we trust them?

00:09:47.000 I want to be sure that it's authoritative.

00:09:50.000 It now shows us that coronavirus, COVID-19, doesn't survive very long in high temperatures or high humidity, and that it is quickly destroyed by sunlight.

00:09:58.000 A second study linked warm and humid weather in the past months to decreased cases, right?

00:10:04.000 And it showed that warmer parts of the United States, like Texas, Florida, have seen a slower spread than places like New York and Washington.

00:10:10.000 And then in that study, as a matter of fact, I think we can bring this up, they determined that, I think globally, like 90, is it 90%?

00:10:16.000 Yeah, 90%.

00:10:18.000 90% of coronavirus cases have occurred in cool climates between 37 to 63 degrees.

00:10:24.000 Wow.

00:10:24.000 It's not like President Trump needed some kind of a crystal ball.

00:10:24.000 And here's the thing.

00:10:27.000 This isn't new.

00:10:28.000 This is an easy one.

00:10:29.000 If you go back to the 1918 flu epidemic, doctors, they used to, like, open air treatment because they noticed that people in sunlight recovered more quickly.

00:10:36.000 You've heard, like, sunlight is the best disinfectant?

00:10:38.000 Right.

00:10:39.000 Not necessarily.

00:10:40.000 Sometimes pure grain alcohol, but it comes from like, you know, you have warped bones and you're coughing and you know, go out West and we'll see what happens.

00:10:50.000 Wow. 0.95

00:10:51.000 And by the way, so I hadn't seen that clip of what Trump actually said, but I had seen all of the headlines and I was like, ah, that was a really dumb thing to say.

00:10:58.000 Now I see the clip and I'm like, oh, that's not even what he said at all.

00:11:01.000 But it is actually true.

00:11:02.000 I mean, go figure.

00:11:03.000 We have fewer cases of the flu every single year in the South than we do in the North.

00:11:07.000 And it's not just because of population, it's by per capita.

00:11:09.000 Right, because it's colder up there for a little bit longer and it's a natural thing.

00:11:13.000 Come on.

00:11:14.000 It just shows you how dead set they are in jumping on him.

00:11:14.000 That's why it's surprising.

00:11:17.000 In other words, Sanjay Gupta can't find out about the flu in 1918.

00:11:21.000 He doesn't know about TB or rickets.

00:11:25.000 He doesn't understand how UV light works as a disinfectant.

00:11:28.000 He hasn't seen the Hamaker Schlemmer catalog with the toothbrush sanitizer that has UV light.

00:11:34.000 Is that a real thing?

00:11:35.000 Yes, it's a real thing.

00:11:36.000 Gosh, I had no idea.

00:11:37.000 My sister-in-law bought me one for Christmas.

00:11:39.000 Oh, do you use it?

00:11:40.000 No.

00:11:41.000 It's very inconvenient.

00:11:42.000 It's better in theory.

00:11:46.000 So here's another one that I just love.

00:11:50.000 A young Mr. Rachel Maddow said that Donald Trump was lying about Navy hospitals.

00:12:00.000 In terms of the happy talk we've had on this front from the federal government, there is no sign that the Navy hospital ships that the President made such a big deal of, the Comfort and the Mercy, there's no sign that they'll be anywhere on site helping out anywhere in the country for weeks yet.

00:12:16.000 The President said when he announced that those ships would be put into action against the COVID-19 epidemic, he said one of those ships would be operational in New York Harbor by next week.

00:12:26.000 That's nonsense.

00:12:27.000 It will not be there next week.

00:12:28.000 And by the way, I know that many of you out there don't have... Well, I guess you can watch things on fast speed, but I realize a lot of young people don't really use a fast-forward button anymore.

00:12:35.000 They skip on a timeline.

00:12:37.000 By the way, hey, Amazon Prime, I would like to have a speed, if I'm going to fast-forward a nine-minute HBO intro, that's somewhere between half a frame a second and DeLorean.

00:12:45.000 If there could be an in-between there, that would be wonderful.

00:12:50.000 I don't need to watch The Robot and the Milk on Westworld for four minutes every time.

00:12:55.000 No.

00:12:55.000 So, uh, let's just pretend like you have a fast forward here.

00:12:57.000 We're saying weeks, nothing.

00:12:58.000 So... Fast forward... One week.

00:13:01.000 Here we go.

00:13:04.000 Oh! 0.60

00:13:04.000 Showed right off! 0.60

00:13:05.000 Damn. 1.00

00:13:06.000 By the way, one week. 1.00

00:13:08.000 You didn't have to wait many weeks.

00:13:10.000 That's never gonna happen.

00:13:11.000 This is awesome.

00:13:11.000 Some people thought we were going to have to wait many weeks.

00:13:16.000 We didn't.

00:13:17.000 That dude, Matt Ow?

00:13:18.000 He only had to wait one week.

00:13:22.000 Here's another one.

00:13:23.000 Chloroquine.

00:13:24.000 Hydroxychloroquine.

00:13:25.000 Of course you can see our reaching out and coverage of the lady who drank fish tank cleaner 0.99

00:13:29.000 who by the way was a Democratic donor and I think offed her husband.

00:13:32.000 Pretty much.

00:13:33.000 Carol Baskin. 0.99

00:13:34.000 Carol f***ing Baskin. 1.00

00:13:36.000 The media of course mocked Donald Trump mercilessly. 0.97

00:13:39.000 And this is something Trevor Noah touted chloroquine.

00:13:41.000 He claimed that Donald Trump mentioned it.

00:13:43.000 He said it was a bull and I think we have a clip bulls*** here which is ironic because

00:13:46.000 it seems like Trevor Noah doesn't understand the difference between a treatment and a cure.

00:13:49.000 Donald Trump never claimed that it was a cure.

00:13:52.000 That never ever ever happened.

00:13:54.000 Now, if you don't like the fact that Donald Trump claimed that it could be a valuable treatment, which, by the way, is what we're looking for right now because a cure is a ways off, fine.

00:14:03.000 But he never said it was a cure.

00:14:05.000 Someone forgot to tell Mr. biracial Edmond Dantes.

00:14:10.000 What?

00:14:11.000 We got the treatment.

00:14:13.000 We're gonna cure it.

00:14:15.000 We're gonna...

00:14:17.000 What?

00:14:17.000 Camera framing.

00:14:18.000 He was just making that s**t up?

00:14:20.000 What the president said was either confusing or just plain wrong.

00:14:25.000 I'm glad I wore my sweatpants because I can check. 0.99

00:14:27.000 It was so unfunny my d**k shrunk. 0.99

00:14:29.000 Wow. 1.00

00:14:30.000 Yeah.

00:14:30.000 Inverted.

00:14:31.000 Don't do that.

00:14:31.000 It's like a shriveled up... Remember those California raisins when they used to be a band?

00:14:35.000 Yeah.

00:14:36.000 Only they're not singing.

00:14:37.000 I was in the pool!

00:14:38.000 It's that unfunny!

00:14:40.000 This is what bothers me so much about Trevor Noah.

00:14:42.000 You know you've seen people talk about sell-out bands?

00:14:45.000 You've seen people talk about pre-packaged, pre-fab.

00:14:48.000 Trevor Noah is absolutely not the best person for that job.

00:14:51.000 When you look at the history of the Daily Show, John Stewart, Stephen Colbert, Steve Carell, Rob Riggle, Rob Corddry, who else do we have?

00:15:01.000 I already said Rob Riggle.

00:15:02.000 What's the name?

00:15:03.000 Ed Helms.

00:15:04.000 Gosh, it's just a who's who of talent, and the successor was Trevor Noah!

00:15:10.000 When you think of the old late night war, where it was like Jay Leno and David Letterman at one point, Joan Rivers.

00:15:15.000 Imagine if they just threw like Milton Berle in there.

00:15:17.000 You're not going to host a show!

00:15:19.000 That doesn't work.

00:15:20.000 He would even be like, Trevor Noah, get to the back, kid.

00:15:23.000 Pick your spots.

00:15:24.000 That's awesome.

00:15:25.000 He's just the worst.

00:15:27.000 Okay.

00:15:27.000 So after President Trump's comments, Governor Cuomo announced that New York was running trials, right?

00:15:31.000 And that immediately the FDA approved the drug for treating coronavirus.

00:15:35.000 And we've already covered this.

00:15:36.000 Many studies, by the way, that the media never covered.

00:15:39.000 Which was remarkable to me, because they would say, there's no science at all behind the use of chloroquine.

00:15:44.000 We don't have any evidence thus far.

00:15:46.000 Other than 50 years of it.

00:15:47.000 Other than many, many studies at this point that had come out and showed a shocking efficacy rate.

00:15:53.000 Though they did then cover, say, see, this is what we were concerned about.

00:15:55.000 The science is in one flawed Brazilian study that did show negative results with two different sample groups from using a significantly higher than recommended dose.

00:16:04.000 So this Brazilian study, when people try to quote and say, look, it can cause all kinds of heart problems, they had two groups.

00:16:08.000 They had people who used slightly lower than the recommended dose, and they've continued that from the study.

00:16:12.000 And then they had a group that used more than the recommended dose, and they had to stop that.

00:16:17.000 So we had no science in when we had result after result, study after study after study, showing us that it worked.

00:16:23.000 And then the one study that says, hey, what happens if we use far more than the prescribing would indicate?

00:16:28.000 Well, now we have some science showing that it doesn't work.

00:16:30.000 Well, I would say that the media probably grabbed a hold of that negative study and was just blasting it all over the place, and not the positive studies that we've had coming out day after day after day after day.

00:16:40.000 And more reliable studies, by the way.

00:16:41.000 More reliable, yes.

00:16:42.000 Even, I think it was a Democrat House member, right?

00:16:45.000 From Michigan.

00:16:46.000 Yeah.

00:16:46.000 Thanks, Trump, for hydroxychloroquine.

00:16:47.000 She said that she felt better less than two hours after taking the drug.

00:16:50.000 And that's anecdotal, but this is why doctors are using it in hospitals across the country.

00:16:55.000 But it still happened.

00:16:55.000 It's anecdotal, but if you're going to put the negative stuff that's pretty much anecdotal as well on the news, can you at least include the positive?

00:17:01.000 The studies and the science show that it works effectively as a treatment, not as a cure.

00:17:06.000 Unfunny, Noah.

00:17:06.000 And then, of course, the anecdotal would indicate that as well.

00:17:09.000 Here's another quick one.

00:17:10.000 The ventilators.

00:17:10.000 I will say, because I thought this was weird, right?

00:17:13.000 New York said that they would originally need, I think, was it 30,000 ventilators?

00:17:16.000 And they were upset that Donald Trump only sent 4,000 to New York and the media accused Donald Trump of downplaying it.

00:17:22.000 And I remember thinking it was weird because he said, they need 40,000 ventilators, folks.

00:17:26.000 Most hospitals have a few.

00:17:27.000 I've never heard, who needs 40,000 ventilators?

00:17:30.000 We may have to look into what they're doing with these ventilators.

00:17:33.000 People said, oh, you don't care about people dying.

00:17:35.000 I remember at that time saying, why are you picking this fight, Donald Trump?

00:17:37.000 If they say they need 40,000 ventilators, just send them 40,000 ventilators so they don't have an excuse.

00:17:42.000 Well, it turns out that creating a ventilator is almost like creating a car, and they didn't need it at all.

00:17:47.000 de Blasio actually says now that they're fine.

00:17:48.000 They only needed a fraction of what they thought.

00:17:50.000 Right.

00:17:50.000 They were basically just going to end up hoarding ventilators.

00:17:52.000 And it was important for the federal, when you talk about the appropriate role of federal government in states, it's necessary for the federal government to have a stockpile that they can provide to states.

00:18:01.000 Right.

00:18:01.000 And they provided more than enough to New York.

00:18:03.000 So that was another area where I thought, this might not play well for you.

00:18:07.000 Remarkable!

00:18:08.000 Yeah, and you can't just give all of your supplies to one state.

00:18:10.000 You have to triage to the rest of the country, because we're all in this together, right, as they say.

00:18:14.000 You know, I've heard people say he's playing 4D chess.

00:18:17.000 4D.

00:18:17.000 I've even heard people go as far as saying that he's playing 5D chess.

00:18:19.000 Wow, I don't even know what that looks like.

00:18:21.000 I will be the first, let it be known, let the record show, I will be the first on this program to state that he's playing 7D chess.

00:18:28.000 What even happened to 6?

00:18:29.000 I skipped it.

00:18:30.000 Wow.

00:18:31.000 I wanted to make sure that I left Mr. Maddow in my wake.

00:18:35.000 Here's another one!

00:18:36.000 Okay, masks!

00:18:37.000 This was one that people, it sounded silly, where he talked about sanitizing, because I think he said using thigh liquids and reusing masks.

00:18:45.000 I have to tell you, the throwing away of the mask Being in private business, they're throwing away the mask right away.

00:18:53.000 They're throwing it away.

00:18:54.000 And when you hear 55 million masks were ordered, I'm saying 55 million?

00:18:58.000 How could it possibly be such a number?

00:19:00.000 And they say, oh, that's just a small fraction of what we need.

00:19:03.000 And I said, why aren't we sanitizing masks?

00:19:05.000 You know, you look at the masks.

00:19:06.000 I've looked at all the different masks.

00:19:08.000 Some don't lead themselves to doing that, I think, but many do.

00:19:12.000 And I said, why aren't we — we have very good liquids for doing this, sanitizing the masks.

00:19:17.000 That's something they're starting to do more and more, they're sanitizing the masks.

00:19:22.000 And then Rachel Maddow, like the liquids, she thought he wanted a no-bid contract for Trump vodka. 0.75

00:19:28.000 I do love the way he's like, throwin' mats, throwin' mats, like that's what doctors do.

00:19:33.000 Just throw it in the pile.

00:19:33.000 Throwin' it all over the place.

00:19:35.000 Like there isn't some kind of refuse, like there isn't a place for medical waste.

00:19:39.000 Right.

00:19:39.000 There wouldn't be a proper waste.

00:19:41.000 Everything else that he said was very reasonable, but the highlight was fine liquids because it does sound dumb. 0.98

00:19:46.000 It does. 0.96

00:19:48.000 One for you. 0.99

00:19:49.000 Sounds dumb. 0.99

00:19:50.000 But then, of course, the media said that this was absurd, it was impossible, it was irresponsible. 0.97

00:19:54.000 Well, now the FDA has cleared a private non-profit, Battelle, not to be confused with Mattel.

00:19:59.000 If you try and sterilize your mask with anything from Mattel, you'll just get kid germs on it.

00:20:04.000 Battelle can start sanitizing masks.

00:20:06.000 We'll probably have about 800,000 a day sanitized.

00:20:10.000 And then they even hired over 2,000 new techs to help.

00:20:14.000 Oh.

00:20:14.000 Perfect.

00:20:14.000 This weekend they're actually expanding further to sanitize all masks for first responders

00:20:18.000 for free. So free enterprise works and even then this is something we should all be on board with

00:20:24.000 recycling. Now masks are reusable. It should be a double win. But because President Trump said

00:20:29.000 fine liquids, which sounds kind of dumbass-ish, that's what the media covers. Well I guarantee 0.98

00:20:34.000 what they'll come out and say is that those liquids are really bad for the environment and

00:20:37.000 that now we're creating a problem.

00:20:39.000 Right.

00:20:39.000 They'll find the negative anywhere.

00:20:40.000 Kind of like aluminum cans.

00:20:41.000 Then we went to glass, and they're like, that's bad for the environment.

00:20:44.000 We need a solution.

00:20:44.000 What's the solution?

00:20:45.000 Aluminum bottles?

00:20:47.000 Not cans.

00:20:48.000 Not cans.

00:20:48.000 What?

00:20:49.000 Why would we just use cans?

00:20:50.000 Because Budweiser needs to, they're losing their market share to craft breweries.

00:20:54.000 Let's go with, here's an aluminum bottle.

00:20:57.000 But I thought the dolphins were getting caught in the six-pack thing.

00:21:01.000 You know what?

00:21:02.000 We don't really care. 0.98

00:21:03.000 Let's just, aluminum bottles, let's just skip along here, hit the fast-forward, watch at twice speed, and don't, you know, call us on our sh**. 0.97

00:21:10.000 Here's another one. 0.94

00:21:11.000 The travel ban.

00:21:11.000 This is something that Donald Trump obviously was very clear about.

00:21:14.000 Bans travel from China. 0.95

00:21:16.000 Biden claimed it was xenophobic, and Bernie said that he would keep borders open.

00:21:19.000 But neither should we panic.

00:21:21.000 Or fall back on xenophobia.

00:21:23.000 Or complete a sentence.

00:21:23.000 Labeling COVID-19 a foreign virus does not displace accountability for the misjudgments that have been taken thus far by the Trump administration.

00:21:32.000 Do you think there's a teenager under that podium like a police academy?

00:21:35.000 But if you had to, if you had to, would you close those doors?

00:21:37.000 I forgot there was an election going on.

00:21:38.000 I know.

00:21:41.000 No.

00:21:41.000 I mean, what you don't want to do right now, we have a president Who has propagated xenophobic anti-immigrant sentiment from before he was elected.

00:21:53.000 Not really anti-immigrant.

00:21:54.000 Anti-bat-virus.

00:21:56.000 Yes.

00:21:56.000 And anti-illegal immigrant.

00:21:58.000 Yeah, anti-illegal, but more specifically here, more so about the wet markets and the bat-virus. 0.96

00:22:02.000 You know, that's really what it was.

00:22:03.000 He wasn't banning all of the places.

00:22:04.000 He doesn't want to demonize anyone, including people who likely are carrying the disease coming from the province where the disease has originated, but he does want to demonize business owners.

00:22:12.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:22:13.000 If you make money, we have no time for you.

00:22:16.000 But if you're coming from a place where they boil dogs alive on the to-go menu and put it in a box, well, you know what?

00:22:21.000 Listen, let's be a little more open-minded.

00:22:23.000 You're our people.

00:22:23.000 By the way, Dr. Fauci, since people love to call him a rock star, he said that it was of course the right call and that it stopped us from becoming another Italy.

00:22:30.000 That early on, they did not shut out as well the input of infections that originated in China and came to different parts of the world.

00:22:39.000 One of the things that we did very early and very aggressively, the president, you know, put the travel restriction coming from China to the United States and most recently from Europe to the United States because Europe is really the new China.

00:22:55.000 And actually, I wish we didn't cut the clip so short because after that he did a great rendition of Got No Strings To Hold Me Down.

00:23:01.000 Oh, wow.

00:23:02.000 I hate that I missed that.

00:23:04.000 No, you don't.

00:23:05.000 Maybe that could be on Crowder Bits?

00:23:09.000 And by the way, while we're talking about science, because Republicans apparently are the party of anti-science scientists, they estimate that travel restrictions in China alone may have prevented 700,000 cases.

00:23:17.000 Please note, this is an actual peer-reviewed study, not an article in a Chinese government propaganda outlet or Rachel Maddow's evening opinion show.

00:23:29.000 Well, everybody goes to the China ban, and that was a huge thing, right?

00:23:32.000 Big fan of it. 0.98

00:23:34.000 Well, yeah, no, but then the Europe ban, he got the same amount of crap for. 0.95

00:23:37.000 Even you people were like, why are you banning us? 0.73

00:23:39.000 It turns out most of the cases of coronavirus in New York came from Europe.

00:23:42.000 Right.

00:23:43.000 They traveled through to Italy and then through the rest of Europe to New York City, most of them.

00:23:47.000 He was right again.

00:23:48.000 Well, they wanted us to believe he was racist, so now are we supposed to believe that he's from 1920s New York where he hates those guineas?

00:23:53.000 Yeah.

00:23:55.000 He's just closing.

00:23:55.000 I mean, he just can't win.

00:23:56.000 I don't want those dagos coming home from their skiing trip. 1.00

00:24:02.000 I'll take a whopper with cheese.

00:24:05.000 Racism.

00:24:07.000 Like, what do they think?

00:24:08.000 I mean, it's very clear that if anything, he's banned so many places.

00:24:14.000 When you talk about the Islamic ban, which again, of course, it was targeted, and this was determined by Barack Obama.

00:24:18.000 I think it was six countries or seven countries, and then Donald Trump just followed through.

00:24:22.000 Right, Europe followed suit. It's like, he hates Muslims. 0.98

00:24:25.000 Well, then he hates Mexicans. 0.97

00:24:27.000 Then there was a Honduran caravan where the Mexicans were like, can you do this? 0.98

00:24:29.000 Oh, he hates Hondurans and El Salvadorans. They're like, he hates the Chinese. 0.97

00:24:33.000 And then he just banned travel from Europe where it's mostly white people. 0.98

00:24:36.000 Yeah, he just doesn't like that.

00:24:37.000 Sicily notwithstanding, we know the history there. I saw true romance.

00:24:42.000 That being said, it's an exception, not the rule.

00:24:46.000 We do have to go to life advice here in a second.

00:24:47.000 I want to know what you guys think.

00:24:49.000 It is remarkable to me because I do understand that Donald Trump obviously says things that come off as not particularly sharp.

00:24:58.000 That being said, compared with Joe Biden, I'm amazed as to how sharp he has stayed.

00:25:02.000 He really hasn't aged, certainly mentally, cognitively.

00:25:05.000 He's boisterous.

00:25:06.000 He's bombastic. 0.99

00:25:07.000 He can be a little bit of a bully, a little bit of a dick, but he is the same today as he was when he became president, and he almost seems to be getting sharper. 0.99

00:25:14.000 Don't take my word for it, by the way. 0.99

00:25:16.000 Watch these briefings.

00:25:18.000 I encourage everyone out there, if the media won't do their job, I think tomorrow actually, Tuesday, we'll be doing a press briefing livestream party.

00:25:23.000 So we'll be doing the job that the press refuses to do tomorrow, whenever the briefing starts, so it's kind of a little bit fluid because Donald Trump is pretty fluid.

00:25:30.000 He doesn't always show up on time.

00:25:32.000 You never know.

00:25:33.000 He just shows up 20 minutes later.

00:25:34.000 Hail to the Chief, cause when he shows up, now you listen.

00:25:39.000 The King.

00:25:41.000 I feel like he's a Midwest auto salesman.

00:25:43.000 The King of Ventilators.

00:25:44.000 President Trump, I miss my son's soccer game.

00:25:46.000 Who are you, Harry Chapin?

00:25:48.000 So I'm amazed.

00:25:50.000 I think he's been doing an unbelievable job.

00:25:51.000 And the more that I dug into this, I am surprised as to how many predictions he made that he got right.

00:25:55.000 Watch the briefings for yourself.

00:25:57.000 There are all kinds of channels that have them available on YouTube right now.

00:26:00.000 And this is where the wonder of new media is actually valuable.

00:26:04.000 Provided the big tech overlords don't try and step in and start carrying the water. 0.94

00:26:09.000 4CNN, MSNBC, NBC, ABC, CBS, and pretty much everyone not named Fox News, this is a great time to actually take it straight from the horse's mouth.

00:26:17.000 Make your own decisions.

00:26:18.000 Don't take my word for it like LeVar Burton.

00:26:20.000 I would ask that you take the word of a six-year-old boy who recommends the coloring book.

00:26:23.000 It's a pop-up!

00:26:24.000 Okay, let's go to life advice.

00:26:25.000 Top love! 0.57

00:26:26.000 With Guru Crowder.

00:26:27.000 Mmm.

00:26:28.000 Mmm.

00:26:29.000 Man.

00:26:30.000 One of the soothing sounds of Gerald Morgan Jr.

00:26:31.000 It is.

00:26:32.000 You do have a good voice for radio.

00:26:33.000 Oh, no, I was saying that was soothing.

00:26:34.000 And a face.

00:26:35.000 Boom.

00:26:40.000 But thank you for wearing the same shirt.

00:26:42.000 I have a face.

00:26:42.000 As always.

00:26:43.000 Thank you.

00:26:44.000 I appreciate that.

00:26:45.000 That's the best compliment I've been given.

00:26:46.000 He does have a face.

00:26:47.000 Can you do your best Gerald C. impression for us?

00:26:49.000 A face.

00:26:50.000 Look at that!

00:26:51.000 Wow.

00:26:52.000 Spot on.

00:26:53.000 I've been working on it all vacation.

00:26:54.000 That's the future mother of my children. 0.84

00:26:55.000 All right.

00:26:56.000 You can send your requests to, of course, lifeadviceatlattlethecutter.com.

00:27:01.000 And this is the time of the show where I tell you, of course, if you are thinking about any sort of self-harm or anything serious like that, suffering from any serious Psychological, psychiatric symptoms.

00:27:11.000 You should always seek out professional help anyway.

00:27:13.000 Of course.

00:27:13.000 And I advocate therapy.

00:27:15.000 Of course.

00:27:16.000 Having a good psychologist, I think it's a good thing.

00:27:18.000 We do our best.

00:27:19.000 That being said, my best is better than a doctor.

00:27:21.000 True.

00:27:22.000 Better than best, really.

00:27:22.000 In a lot of ways.

00:27:23.000 These are just facts.

00:27:24.000 Yeah.

00:27:24.000 I mean, I just say best because we haven't even come up with a term to apply here yet.

00:27:28.000 It's true.

00:27:29.000 Most people say you can't give 110%.

00:27:30.000 What's better than best?

00:27:31.000 You can.

00:27:31.000 You're the blank.

00:27:33.000 Oh, round!

00:27:34.000 You fill it in.

00:27:34.000 I don't know.

00:27:35.000 But I'm that.

00:27:37.000 I'm a guru.

00:27:38.000 That's the point that I'm getting at here.

00:27:40.000 We appreciate you sending in your letters.

00:27:42.000 And of course, we get some video submissions now.

00:27:44.000 We do.

00:27:45.000 Of course, understand that you forego all anonymity.

00:27:49.000 Yes.

00:27:50.000 Anonimity.

00:27:51.000 Anonimity.

00:27:51.000 All right.

00:27:53.000 First one here.

00:27:55.000 C, anonymities.

00:27:56.000 Yeah.

00:27:58.000 I also know the word stalactites.

00:28:01.000 Oh! 0.60

00:28:02.000 Totally different things.

00:28:04.000 Ah, dear Guru Crow.

00:28:05.000 Are those the uppers or the downers?

00:28:07.000 Stalactites.

00:28:08.000 They're in caves.

00:28:09.000 Oh, right.

00:28:10.000 Both of them are.

00:28:11.000 What's a sea anemone?

00:28:13.000 Who knows?

00:28:14.000 Is that an honest question?

00:28:15.000 I have no idea.

00:28:16.000 I know what a stalactite is.

00:28:17.000 I don't know what a sea anemone is.

00:28:18.000 But it made me think of the other word.

00:28:20.000 It's like those things with the little twiggly hands and tentacles and stuff.

00:28:23.000 This has run its course.

00:28:24.000 We have derailed.

00:28:26.000 OK.

00:28:27.000 You don't want to spend another 30 minutes on this?

00:28:28.000 Dear Guru Crowder, I recently came out of the closet and started to date other gay men. 0.59

00:28:34.000 Hey, coming out hot. 0.62

00:28:34.000 Did you need to specify gay men? 0.62

00:28:36.000 I thought that was redundant. 1.00

00:28:37.000 I mean, you start dating other men if they're not gay, then, I mean, get your ass back in the closet. 1.00

00:28:45.000 Find yourself a walk-in and stay there. 1.00

00:28:47.000 I am a conservative who finds most of the liberal propaganda to be both illogical and downright dishonest.

00:28:53.000 I live in New York, and almost every date I go on, at some point, the guy I'm dating will say something like, I hope Trump and anyone who follows him gets coronavirus.

00:29:00.000 Well, this seems pretty recent.

00:29:03.000 I mean, this isn't like this has been plaguing you for all your life.

00:29:06.000 I mean, if you say, like, a long time ago, maybe you said swine flu, or... SARS.

00:29:10.000 ...bird flu, SARS, you know.

00:29:12.000 He said recent.

00:29:12.000 Yeah, I think it's just... He did say he came out recently.

00:29:14.000 It could just be the sort of pandemic and sort of... Yeah, it's true.

00:29:17.000 I've gotten to the point where... Well, that's true.

00:29:20.000 but I can also see myself as someone who's open to debate and enjoys growing together

00:29:24.000 and understanding each other's ideals.

00:29:25.000 That being said, I feel like I'm starting every relationship with a secret inside, and

00:29:29.000 it's almost like I'm having to come out all over again as a conservative." 0.68

00:29:33.000 Well, that's true.

00:29:34.000 A lot of conservatives. 0.99

00:29:35.000 Because apparently, you can't like dick and lower taxes. 1.00

00:29:39.000 We'll bleep that, but it's a... But the point remains... Taxes. 0.98

00:29:43.000 Right.

00:29:43.000 Yes, bleeping taxes.

00:29:44.000 Thank you.

00:29:45.000 Jesus would want us to bleep taxes.

00:29:47.000 Lower taxes.

00:29:48.000 He had a problem with the taxes.

00:29:49.000 The tax collectors. 0.98

00:29:50.000 He put them on the same playing field as prostitutes. 1.00

00:29:53.000 Render unto Caesar. 0.99

00:29:54.000 No, no.

00:29:55.000 I'm talking about Matthew.

00:29:56.000 No, I know.

00:29:56.000 I'm just saying.

00:29:57.000 Okay.

00:29:57.000 All right.

00:29:57.000 Well, you know, we can just say things.

00:30:00.000 I do.

00:30:00.000 I think that's exactly what the show is.

00:30:04.000 It's hard enough being gay and having like 97% of the population not available to you.

00:30:08.000 I can't imagine also having to restrict myself to only making sure I date conservative guys, which I might add, I have yet to see in NYC so far.

00:30:15.000 Please help and give me your advice on this.

00:30:18.000 P.S.

00:30:19.000 You are very handsome.

00:30:20.000 Well, alright then.

00:30:21.000 Oh boy.

00:30:21.000 That's very nice.

00:30:23.000 I don't mind it.

00:30:24.000 I didn't mean it like that.

00:30:26.000 It's a compliment.

00:30:26.000 He's trying to butter you up for a good advice here.

00:30:28.000 It's a compliment that doesn't mean so much because let's be honest like it's a meat market. It's true. Even if I

00:30:33.000 weren't handsome you'd want it Guys are easy

00:30:39.000 Magazines and everything out magazine and everyone's like all these gorgeous guys and women go why are these all the

00:30:44.000 good-looking ones taken?

00:30:45.000 It's like mmm. That's not really representative of the entire community

00:30:49.000 Have you heard of bears? 0.87

00:30:52.000 It's a thing Point is, there are ugly people all around.

00:30:56.000 There are. 0.98

00:30:57.000 Including the gays, but I appreciate you saying that I am handsome. 1.00

00:31:00.000 Enough to go around. 0.74

00:31:02.000 Is nearsightedness something that plagues the gay community? 1.00

00:31:04.000 I have no idea.

00:31:04.000 I don't know.

00:31:06.000 This is going to be hard.

00:31:06.000 This is going to be difficult for you.

00:31:08.000 You know, I don't have a ton.

00:31:09.000 I mean, I know a lot of conservative gay guys, but I understand that's just because I work in this field.

00:31:14.000 But I do know that there are a lot of groups that exist where gay conservatives can sort of congregate and meet up.

00:31:20.000 That might be a good place to start. 0.97

00:31:21.000 And not have sex. 0.56

00:31:22.000 Yeah.

00:31:22.000 Talk politics.

00:31:24.000 Listen, let's be honest, it always leads to sex.

00:31:25.000 Yeah, it's gonna happen.

00:31:27.000 Just like we were talking about with women, the reason that conquest for women isn't seen as some kind of an accomplishment is because all they need to say is yes. 0.98

00:31:34.000 Exactly. 0.99

00:31:35.000 Gays are the most decadent people in the world. 1.00

00:31:38.000 Yes, yes, yes. 1.00

00:31:39.000 The refractory period is insane.

00:31:41.000 I don't understand. 0.99

00:31:42.000 Straight people like sex, but I don't think we can have sex as much as gay people do. 1.00

00:31:46.000 You have a problem in your community, is what I'm saying. 0.99

00:31:49.000 If you don't want it to all be about sex, Then don't make every publication that you put out there all about sex.

00:31:55.000 It's not our fault that we assume that. 0.82

00:31:56.000 Is there a gay camping magazine anywhere? 0.99

00:31:59.000 If it was, it would be about sex camping! 0.98

00:32:01.000 Yeah, you know, what's the equivalent? 0.92

00:32:02.000 Like, I don't know.

00:32:05.000 The only advice that I could give you is there are people out there like you.

00:32:08.000 I think you'll see more, particularly in the era of Trump, because everyone's doing so much better.

00:32:11.000 There can be people, you might not find people who share necessarily your social values, but you can find people who at the very least understand your financial standpoint.

00:32:21.000 And again, I know a lot of gay people who actually are Pretty traditional.

00:32:25.000 I shouldn't say a lot, but they exist.

00:32:27.000 And they exist, namely, in the conservative community.

00:32:29.000 And I could name probably five, just off the top of my head, in New York City.

00:32:34.000 Yeah, well look, I think it's the same thing with any kind of relationship, trying to find somebody who matches with you on a number of different components, the religion, and you know, kind of how you feel morally, even if you don't believe in any God or anything like that, and value, just overall, right?

00:32:47.000 So, in this case, I think you have to lead with that kind of stuff.

00:32:50.000 I know it's daunting, but you have to get that out there, especially if you're in New York City, a very liberal place.

00:32:55.000 Like you said, there's probably plenty of people out there that are conservative, But you can't just hide it.

00:33:00.000 You gotta come out each time and you have to be ready to answer the questions and walk away.

00:33:05.000 Trust me, there's gonna be another guy, right, for this person.

00:33:08.000 It sounds a little weird, but there's plenty of men in the scene.

00:33:11.000 And if none of that works, consider playing for the other team.

00:33:13.000 Yeah.

00:33:15.000 There's a much wider selection with a much deeper bench.

00:33:18.000 We do.

00:33:18.000 Far less aids.

00:33:19.000 It's true.

00:33:20.000 Far, far less.

00:33:22.000 It is not without its perks, is all I'm saying.

00:33:27.000 Alright, next one's a video submission.

00:33:29.000 We have a video, here we go.

00:33:30.000 Hi Guru Steven, I have a question for you.

00:33:34.000 My husband and I, we just got married about 8 months back.

00:33:37.000 Um, and we've had the, you know, normal issues that a newlywed couple has.

00:33:42.000 Um, as a couple of Christians, um, we know that marriage is for life, but the only issue that we've really run into is one of his friends that he's had for a long time.

00:33:51.000 He convinced my husband to get professional help for depression and anxiety, um, for which I am forever grateful.

00:33:58.000 But this friend is incredibly arrogant, um, and incredibly very far less leaning.

00:34:03.000 He is also a Christian, technically ordained, so should know that humility is a necessity in a Christian life, but for some reason refuses to pursue it. 1.00

00:34:12.000 My husband and him share a lot of interests, and so my husband wants to stay around him because a lot of his other friends, most of his friends, are in this group too, and if he I think he's one of those people that are either really stupid or evil. 0.98

00:34:26.000 I want to be a good wife and I want to be a good teammate and not his mother 0.95

00:34:29.000 and forbid him from seeing his friends.

00:34:31.000 I think that it's good for men to bond with men.

00:34:34.000 And I want to see him do that, but I'm scared of this friend

00:34:37.000 that he has and his influence. 1.00

00:34:39.000 I think he's one of those people that are either really stupid or evil. 1.00

00:34:44.000 So it's a lot deeper question than that, more to get into, but I don't really have the time. 1.00

00:34:52.000 So if you could give me some advice, I'd really appreciate it.

00:34:55.000 Well, first off, thank you for submitting.

00:34:57.000 Let me, a couple of things that you got right.

00:34:58.000 First off, adorable.

00:34:59.000 Oh, yeah.

00:35:00.000 Just wonderful.

00:35:01.000 Your eyes really tell a story.

00:35:02.000 Adorbs.

00:35:03.000 And I don't know if that's like, if you have makeup on, but like, you know, I have a skin that just, it just, like, I always perpetually look 14.

00:35:07.000 And then it's just pimples and greys.

00:35:11.000 I don't know how that happens, but I'm envious.

00:35:13.000 I shouldn't be, but I'm envious.

00:35:16.000 You get a lot right as well.

00:35:17.000 Wanting to be a good teammate, wanting to support your husband.

00:35:19.000 Not his mom.

00:35:20.000 Right.

00:35:21.000 Something... What?

00:35:22.000 God.

00:35:22.000 That's what she said.

00:35:23.000 I don't want to be his mother.

00:35:24.000 Oh, I thought you said like his wife is not his mom.

00:35:26.000 I should hope not.

00:35:27.000 No.

00:35:27.000 We don't want them watching this show.

00:35:29.000 We don't want people watching this show who see Colton Wade as autobiographical.

00:35:36.000 And something I wanted to touch on here that kind of struck a chord with me, I appreciate that you said this friend helped your husband sort of seek help for anxiety and depression.

00:35:44.000 And here's something that may be a component to this problem, and you see this a lot with sort of Christians and even people who are sometimes just on the right wing or who are anti-medical establishment.

00:35:54.000 We've talked about how people get pushed to the fringes if they feel as though they have no other options.

00:35:57.000 And you and I have talked about how often in the church, a lot of times, Christians are like, even if they're not against any kind of psychiatric assistance or pharmaceuticals, they will somehow brag, whether they mean to or not, I am not on anything!

00:36:10.000 I just take fish oil.

00:36:11.000 I don't take any drugs.

00:36:12.000 But it's okay for you, though.

00:36:13.000 Fish oil.

00:36:14.000 But it's okay for you, though.

00:36:15.000 You know, that happens a lot.

00:36:16.000 And by the way, I take fish oil.

00:36:17.000 I think you should take the right side.

00:36:18.000 There's nothing wrong with that.

00:36:19.000 I didn't know it helped mental capacity.

00:36:20.000 It does.

00:36:20.000 No, I meant, like, for not, like, just brain smarts.

00:36:23.000 I meant, like, for depression.

00:36:23.000 No, it does.

00:36:24.000 It actually is beneficial for depression.

00:36:25.000 Is it really?

00:36:25.000 Omega-3 fatty acids.

00:36:26.000 Yeah, there are a lot of things that do help.

00:36:28.000 Now, it's not a panacea.

00:36:29.000 It's not going to cure severe depression.

00:36:31.000 So before I go forward and say this, I am not pro-go-to-drugs as your first option.

00:36:37.000 I think before anything else, whether it's Lat-Band or Zoloft, you need to get everything else in order.

00:36:43.000 What do you need to do?

00:36:43.000 You need to get your spiritual life in order as much as you can.

00:36:45.000 Physically, you need to be going to the gym, you need to be exercising, you need to be getting your diet in order.

00:36:48.000 And then if that doesn't help and you still have problems, you go seek medical help.

00:36:52.000 Some people do all these things right and then they find out that they have type 1 diabetes.

00:36:56.000 Or they find out that they have a thyroid condition, and they take that pill.

00:36:59.000 Some people do everything right, and they're disciplined, and they do their daily devotionals, and they do meditation, and they try to sleep right and eat right, and they still find themselves depressed.

00:37:07.000 Or they still find themselves with crippling anxiety.

00:37:10.000 It does happen, and I don't want to see conservatives, the right wing, or Christians push these people to the fringes where the only options that they have are to seek out pill pushers, because those people exist as well. 0.88

00:37:21.000 I think we need to be open-minded and we need to be empathetic to people who may be struggling with mental health.

00:37:25.000 Unfortunately, it's often only discussed when some celebrity kills himself and so everyone comes out and says

00:37:29.000 I struggle with mental health but it seems a little bit disingenuous.

00:37:32.000 So that may be why your husband, if this friend is the only one who actually sort of spurred him to seek out

00:37:39.000 professional help, your husband may have a bond with him because this person may have saved him a whole lot of heartache

00:37:44.000 or really may have improved his life.

00:37:47.000 And that is a difficult bond to break if he feels like this was the only person who was able to help him.

00:37:53.000 So that's kind of a macro point that I'd like to make it large.

00:37:55.000 I think we need to be mindful of this.

00:37:57.000 On the other side, without knowing a whole lot about this friend, I would say this.

00:38:01.000 And then I'll let Gerald take it from here.

00:38:04.000 You need to be honest about yourself.

00:38:06.000 Now I've always said this, your close circle of friends, people you confide in, people who would be offering you any marriage advice, they cannot be people who don't share your values.

00:38:13.000 They can be beer buddies, they can be guys you go play ping pong with, that's fine.

00:38:16.000 They cannot be people who help you make your life-altering decisions.

00:38:20.000 If that is the case here, that's a problem.

00:38:24.000 And I think the only way to fix it is, you know, you replace a bad habit with a good habit, is you get other, better people in that circle of friends, better influences, people who share those values.

00:38:33.000 But I also think you need to ask yourself, is this someone who is really corrosive to your marriage?

00:38:38.000 Is this someone who is really harmful to your husband?

00:38:39.000 Or is this someone who you would rather your husband not hang out with?

00:38:43.000 That's a question that only you can answer.

00:38:45.000 answer, not saying that's the case, but I do think you need to take some quiet time

00:38:49.000 and reflect on that because I've seen both of those cases be true.

00:38:52.000 Yeah, it seems I was wondering what all other than being a leftist and not being humble

00:38:57.000 what the sins of this person were.

00:38:59.000 Right.

00:39:00.000 Those are the only two things that she listed.

00:39:01.000 I'm like, all right, somebody who's not humble is annoying, you know, but I'm not sure that

00:39:04.000 that's something that I'm scared of.

00:39:06.000 Right.

00:39:07.000 If it's a guy who says, be good to your wife, be faithful to your wife, honor your vows, and then he also happens to want socialized healthcare, that's annoying, and it's a problem, and it's someone who doesn't understand logically why that doesn't work, but that doesn't mean it's someone who needs to be cut out of his life.

00:39:22.000 No, not at all.

00:39:23.000 And it's not like those are infectious ideas that are just going to obviously propagate to your husband and change him.

00:39:29.000 It's like, look, it's okay for, I think, this relationship to still exist.

00:39:33.000 If it's an unhealthy relationship for whatever reason, then obviously you need to be spurring your husband on and just bringing things up.

00:39:40.000 Like, hey, every time you come home from hanging out with Johnny, like you say, and I don't even know what the guy's name is, but you know, you say like these things and it never seems like it's a positive experience.

00:39:48.000 Yeah, some weird thing.

00:39:50.000 Thank you.

00:39:50.000 That's a great example.

00:39:51.000 I hate that when that happens.

00:39:54.000 My wife is crying right now because you said that.

00:39:57.000 I didn't cut Johnny out of my life.

00:39:58.000 I didn't have the budget for so many cats. 0.65

00:40:01.000 The point is, hit him in his wallet.

00:40:06.000 That's right. 1.00

00:40:07.000 Hit him where it hurts. 0.99

00:40:09.000 But also, you're eight months into marriage, right? 0.92

00:40:11.000 And you have those things that you go through in marriage.

00:40:14.000 I know this.

00:40:14.000 I am ten months into marriage, or actually a little over that right now.

00:40:18.000 And these things, I think, will kind of filter themselves out, too.

00:40:21.000 You'll start making new friend groups as a married couple that eventually, they don't necessarily get rid of old friend groups, but some of those old relationships were there for a season.

00:40:28.000 And this one may be one of those.

00:40:30.000 Your husband may naturally kind of work his way out, so I would say take a little bit of a hands-off approach to it for now, kind of see where it goes, and if it truly is harming your husband, that's a different conversation than what I think we're having right now.

00:40:40.000 Right.

00:40:40.000 Like, I had some—my wife, honestly, didn't really have many toxic relationships.

00:40:44.000 She always picked her friends pretty well.

00:40:46.000 And you can't pick your family members, so that's one of those things that, sorry, you just have to take the L. But she did have some friends, and I did have to sort of delineate, like, I didn't really want to hang out with these friends, but they were just annoying.

00:40:55.000 Like, she had a friend who was kind of toothy.

00:40:57.000 Okay.

00:40:59.000 What is it?

00:40:59.000 That was it.

00:41:00.000 A little gummy.

00:41:01.000 I don't want to go couples bowling with that.

00:41:07.000 I don't have to look at that all night.

00:41:09.000 The point is I was wrong and I had to check myself and I let the process work itself out naturally and she's no longer my wife's life.

00:41:16.000 It's like a shark tooth.

00:41:17.000 You put a few states between you and the problem's solved.

00:41:21.000 And if it is corrosive, you think about it and it really is a bad relationship for your

00:41:25.000 husband to have, talk to him.

00:41:28.000 Sitting around thinking about it and wondering about it, and we appreciate the question coming

00:41:31.000 here but talk to your husband.

00:41:34.000 And I would also say talk with, ideally his father, talk with men whose values you and your husband both share.

00:41:40.000 Right.

00:41:41.000 And also have them talk with your husband.

00:41:43.000 Now don't go, I'm not saying gossip around your husband's back, but express the concern to your husband so he knows, so it's not a surprise, and then whoever it is out there who you see having a positive influence on your husband and whose opinion your husband respects, particularly as a man, Not saying that your opinion should be the most important to your husband, but sometimes an objective third party, who also is a man, can be very helpful.

00:42:04.000 Yeah, absolutely.

00:42:05.000 Alright, next one is you, Gerald.

00:42:06.000 Alright, perfect.

00:42:07.000 Esteemed Guru Crowder, my wife and I... That goes without saying.

00:42:11.000 It does.

00:42:12.000 I mean, it should say something else instead.

00:42:14.000 My wife and I have been married for nearly a year now.

00:42:17.000 When it comes to sex, I often find myself disappointed or even frustrated.

00:42:23.000 My wife suffers from chronic illness, which can leave her tired or disgruntled, and while I'm sensitive to her needs and do not blame her, it means that we often go days without being intimate.

00:42:32.000 When we do make love, I can feel like the only participant.

00:42:35.000 Very rarely does she initiate physicality, and when she does, I still end up doing pretty much everything.

00:42:41.000 I would appreciate your input.

00:42:43.000 Well, first off, I want you to go days without being intimate.

00:42:46.000 Everyone goes days.

00:42:48.000 Days, days, days.

00:42:50.000 I gotta tell you, I don't know how old this person is.

00:42:53.000 I don't think it's said, but if you are, I think if you're a young person and you have been looking forward to being married and you've waited for sex and then you get to this and it's like sex has been built up in your mind as something that's wonderful in marriage, right?

00:43:07.000 Even if it's kept appropriate as this wonderful thing and then you You encounter a situation, for whatever reason that's difficult, that's hard, right?

00:43:15.000 You've gotta figure out how to be intimate with one another in these situations.

00:43:18.000 And I'll say this, having a chronic illness that's different than a random, I have a headache, or we're both too tired, or something like that.

00:43:27.000 It seems like that's something that you knew going in, that there was this chronic illness, and that there may have been some impact from that.

00:43:31.000 I'm sure this isn't the first time that this conversation has come up, even if you weren't having sex before marriage.

00:43:37.000 So, I think you just have to figure out how you work around that, and you have to give as much grace as possible, because this person can't do anything about a chronic illness.

00:43:43.000 There's nothing that they can do, other than try to- I didn't have to know his wife's name.

00:43:45.000 He didn't include it.

00:43:46.000 I didn't say that.

00:43:47.000 Oh, they were saying, give it to Grace as much as possible.

00:43:49.000 No, give them as much grace.

00:43:50.000 Go on in there and give it to her! 1.00

00:43:53.000 Really?

00:43:54.000 No, don't.

00:43:55.000 Grace! 0.93

00:43:55.000 Not if she doesn't want to, because that's rape. 0.93

00:43:56.000 That's true.

00:43:58.000 Which we don't condone.

00:43:59.000 No.

00:44:01.000 Oh wow, deafening silence there.

00:44:03.000 Thanks for letting me get on that limb.

00:44:06.000 No, I agree with you.

00:44:08.000 That being said, this is the kind of thing that would probably benefit from couples counseling.

00:44:11.000 It would, yeah.

00:44:12.000 And I will say this, as someone who my wife and I waited to have sex with each other until we were married, it's very different from A lot of other relationships, right?

00:44:19.000 You get a lot of people talking about sexual compatibility, which is kind of silly if you're both being selfless, if you're both actually esteeming the other one first and putting their needs first.

00:44:26.000 You should both, and... It's like, I had a pastor tell me it's like going out for Chinese food.

00:44:31.000 Everyone should get a fortune cookie.

00:44:33.000 But I hate fortune cookies, but I like orgasms, so it wasn't a very good analogy. 0.91

00:44:37.000 And that's the beauty of sex. 0.98

00:44:39.000 Sex is a wonderful thing. 0.56

00:44:40.000 Think about this for a second.

00:44:41.000 It is.

00:44:42.000 Between married couples.

00:44:42.000 And Christians don't talk about this.

00:44:44.000 It creates a bond.

00:44:45.000 Two fleshes become one.

00:44:46.000 We talk about this biblically.

00:44:48.000 It is something that creates an intense connection.

00:44:50.000 A soul tie, if you will. 0.95

00:44:52.000 And you get to have orgasms. 0.98

00:44:53.000 It's wonderful. 0.99

00:44:53.000 Sex is a great thing. 0.99

00:44:55.000 And for people who wait until they're married to have sex.

00:44:58.000 Sometimes people go, oh, well, the reason that people don't have the same kind of sexual dysfunction, typically speaking, where both parents are virgins, is because you have nothing to compare it to.

00:45:04.000 That may or may not be true, but at the end of the day, people are more sexually satisfied, and that is because if you have an open line of communication, and you are putting each other's needs first, if you waited to have sex until you're married, guess what?

00:45:16.000 Sex will get better throughout your marriage.

00:45:18.000 Now, people who've been playing the field, the idea is often like, well, you know, I had one guy say one time, you know, I've been married for three years now, so, you know, I don't really have sex that often, if you know what I mean.

00:45:27.000 I said, no.

00:45:30.000 So it's different, right?

00:45:31.000 They think it starts off and you're naughty and it's taboo and then you get married and it's old hat.

00:45:35.000 But for people like us, it actually should get better because, you know, you're figuring out the cheat codes.

00:45:40.000 You're trying to hit the high score, right?

00:45:41.000 You're working together.

00:45:42.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:45:42.000 You're a team.

00:45:44.000 Some women don't necessarily have the same mindset, especially if you're coming at this from a Christian perspective. 0.99

00:45:49.000 I will say there's been a gross disservice done to a lot of young Christian women where they don't talk about sex. 1.00

00:45:54.000 A lot of their leaders, a lot of their confidants don't really talk about it because it's naughty or it's dirty.

00:45:59.000 And you know what? 0.99

00:46:00.000 Women want to have sex too. 1.00

00:46:01.000 Women want to have sex within the confines. 1.00

00:46:02.000 Typically speaking, as opposed to men who can, you know, they can do it with the, they can do it with that chair, right? 0.98

00:46:07.000 It's got a nice, it's got a nice felt swatch.

00:46:10.000 Is that a swatch?

00:46:11.000 What is it?

00:46:11.000 With a textile?

00:46:12.000 You don't even need a girled seat. 0.94

00:46:13.000 No, you don't even need—it doesn't even have to—the point is, any form of friction, it doesn't even have to be velour.

00:46:19.000 That's my point.

00:46:20.000 With a guy, it's pretty easy.

00:46:21.000 But women want to have sex, too, within the confines of a relationship where they feel secure and they can trust the person.

00:46:27.000 Not all women. 0.96

00:46:27.000 There are exceptions. 0.96

00:46:29.000 Maybe this isn't something that was communicated to your wife, barring the illness.

00:46:32.000 That's something that if you knew, like you said, you saw the ride, you bought a ticket, anyway, you're going to have to deal with, but I do think there could be some value in going to.

00:46:39.000 This is probably the area, finances and sex, are the area, and communication, but usually the problems stem typically from communication as they relate to finances and sex.

00:46:49.000 But finances and sex are an area where marriage counselors, like a qualified psychologist who's a therapist, who works with couples, can work As a matter of fact, it's very rare that it doesn't help.

00:47:01.000 So I highly recommend that in this instance, because your wife may not feel comfortable, and she may feel as though you're prodding, or you are—hopefully you're not prodding against her will.

00:47:10.000 My point is, figuratively prodding.

00:47:12.000 You don't want to be like aliens poking at her body.

00:47:14.000 This isn't a Ridley Scott sequel.

00:47:16.000 The point here is that—I'm just horribly sorry.

00:47:19.000 I just get very uncomfortable with these topics.

00:47:22.000 The point is, she may feel pressured by you, but not if it's an objective third party who has both of your best interests at heart.

00:47:28.000 And I will say that often, a lot of people complain about couples counseling how the therapist takes the side of the woman.

00:47:34.000 Often with sex, it is usually more illuminating for the woman, and it ends up yielding dividends. 1.00

00:47:41.000 It's something I highly recommend as it relates to sex, communication, finances.

00:47:46.000 One quick thing too at the end here.

00:47:47.000 There's two things.

00:47:48.000 One, don't put sex on such a pedestal that you think your life is ruined if you don't have great sex with your wife because there are situations where... Also the balance issue.

00:47:55.000 You don't have sex on a pedestal. 0.99

00:47:56.000 Exactly.

00:47:56.000 You never want to do that, right?

00:47:57.000 It's tough.

00:47:58.000 Don't make it that hard.

00:47:59.000 The other thing is that serving one another, sometimes your wife, and this is something

00:48:04.000 that maybe this counseling can help point out, sometimes she's not gonna feel like it, 0.90

00:48:07.000 but because she loves you and wants to serve you well, she's going to have sex. 1.00

00:48:10.000 And it may be the same, you may be exhausted, you may not be in the mood for anything,

00:48:14.000 but because she wants to and you wanna serve her well, and you both desire one another,

00:48:18.000 sometimes you have to do that.

00:48:19.000 And so it seems like a little bit of that needs to take place here.

00:48:22.000 Yeah, without knowing all the information, I definitely would recommend some kind of couples

00:48:26.000 counseling.

00:48:26.000 All right, we are coming up on this, so I'm going to put this here, some of the other ones, so we have this for another Life Advice.

00:48:31.000 Ooh! 0.96

00:48:32.000 And I will finish- More advice for the life.

00:48:34.000 With the last one here.

00:48:36.000 Dear Master Guru Crowder, Gerald A. Got that right.

00:48:40.000 That's good.

00:48:41.000 Thank God they sent it in on the right day, where you didn't take another one of your vacations, because apparently frivolity is more important.

00:48:47.000 Frivolity.

00:48:48.000 And Quarter Black. 0.97

00:48:49.000 Hey! 0.99

00:48:50.000 Nice! 0.94

00:48:51.000 And quarter black, alright!

00:48:52.000 My problem is that my husband has dated almost strictly redheads. 1.00

00:48:57.000 I was blonde when we started dating, but dyed my hair red in university.

00:48:57.000 Huh.

00:49:01.000 It was my rebellious stage.

00:49:02.000 I grew up in a conservative house where I was not allowed to dye my hair.

00:49:05.000 So you went with red?

00:49:06.000 It's like, you know what's really gonna piss off my parents?

00:49:06.000 Red, yeah.

00:49:09.000 The opie look.

00:49:13.000 Yeah, could it be?

00:49:13.000 Wendy's!

00:49:16.000 Could it be any more wild than that?

00:49:19.000 All of the colors you chose red.

00:49:21.000 So he came home and was like, hey, mom and dad, what do you think?

00:49:23.000 Prince Harry?

00:49:24.000 No!

00:49:26.000 I'm a rebel!

00:49:27.000 My cause is dyeing my hair!

00:49:29.000 Okay.

00:49:31.000 My husband found pictures when I was a redhead and immediately started showing everyone and tried to get everyone to pressure me to dye my hair red.

00:49:38.000 I refused to at first and told him it was never going to happen.

00:49:40.000 Fast forward to five years later and we were married for just over a year.

00:49:42.000 I continued to get harassed by him to dye my hair red and he has tried many times over the years to convince my hairdressers to dye my hair red.

00:49:51.000 I finally decided why not and dyed my hair red after five years of him bugging me.

00:49:55.000 Have I played into his redhead fetish? 0.73

00:49:57.000 Yes.

00:49:59.000 Am I causing him to stumble by having done this?

00:50:01.000 Not necessarily.

00:50:02.000 I was blonde when we got married, so technically he married a blonde, my natural color.

00:50:05.000 But now that I'm a redhead again, it's hard to dye my hair back, and I kind of like it.

00:50:09.000 Okay, couple things.

00:50:09.000 Let me be clear about this.

00:50:11.000 If you like your hair red and he likes your hair red, that's not a problem.

00:50:14.000 That being said, I have talked about this.

00:50:15.000 Many times.

00:50:17.000 Blonde? 0.98

00:50:18.000 Brunette? 1.00

00:50:18.000 That's a preference. 1.00

00:50:20.000 Redhead is a fetish. 1.00

00:50:21.000 I don't know what it is with those people, but only a redhead will do. 1.00

00:50:25.000 I have an aunt who is a complete redhead. 1.00

00:50:27.000 One of my best friends in high school had a little sister who was a redhead. 0.86

00:50:29.000 And for some reason, people think that all boundaries go away when a man who likes redheads encounters a redheaded woman.

00:50:36.000 And that's where the catcalling is really uncomfortable.

00:50:39.000 Like, my best friend had his—we had the same French teacher.

00:50:42.000 And then he had his little sister the next year.

00:50:44.000 He's an all-man blank.

00:50:45.000 I don't want to say her name.

00:50:46.000 He said, oh, she's got that beautiful fiery red hair. 1.00

00:50:50.000 She's 15.

00:50:51.000 Well, he was 16.

00:50:53.000 And he would come up to my aunt and be like, oh my gosh, just that hair.

00:50:56.000 What I wouldn't do to be with someone without those kinds of locks.

00:51:00.000 And I get they think they're being complimentary, but it's creepy.

00:51:02.000 It's very creepy.

00:51:03.000 That's a little creepy.

00:51:04.000 There's a difference between blonde, brunette. 1.00

00:51:06.000 People who like blondes can date brunettes. 1.00

00:51:08.000 People who like brunettes can can date blondes. My preference often was brunette, but I've 0.66

00:51:11.000 mostly dated blondes. But people who like redheads, only a redhead will do. Period. 1.00

00:51:18.000 End of story. And it's weird.

00:51:19.000 It's very weird. Because it's a recessive gene. It should just go away. It's a mutation.

00:51:23.000 It seems like she's being a little prideful here. Like, I'm blonde and you married a blonde.

00:51:28.000 Actually, I like my hair red, but I don't think I should be.

00:51:30.000 Well, no, the fact that you were trying to convince her hairstylist unbeknownst to her.

00:51:34.000 Oh, come on. 0.87

00:51:34.000 Have you ever seen a woman's hair being dyed? 0.87

00:51:36.000 It can't happen on accident.

00:51:37.000 She'll know something is going on.

00:51:38.000 She could be thinking she's getting highlights, and then she comes out looking like she should have a dubstep CD.

00:51:44.000 Wouldn't happen.

00:51:45.000 I don't know.

00:51:46.000 I think it was more sarcastic, like he was jokingly trying.

00:51:49.000 He probably wanted it, but what's the problem with that?

00:51:51.000 If he's saying, hey, I see a picture of you having red hair, you say you like red hair, I think it would be fun if you dyed your hair red, but be able to go back and forth if you like it, not have to mess with him.

00:52:00.000 I think it would be a problem if, for example, there was all of this sort of Game of Thrones behind the scenes, where, you know, and you can dye her hair red unbeknownst to her.

00:52:10.000 She takes the Iron Throne. 1.00

00:52:11.000 Like, that's a problem!

00:52:12.000 And if you guys had an inactive sex life or something where you seemed like he didn't desire you because you didn't have red hair, that might have been a problem.

00:52:19.000 But it seems to me like he was attracted to you when you were blonde.

00:52:21.000 He married you when you were blonde.

00:52:23.000 He just liked your hair red.

00:52:25.000 I have certain ways that I like my wife to do her hair. 1.00

00:52:27.000 And sometimes that's different.

00:52:28.000 Sometimes women like to do their hair in a way that impresses other women, but men don't really like.

00:52:32.000 Or it's lost on us.

00:52:33.000 Yeah, or it's lost on us.

00:52:35.000 For example, when my wife goes out and she straightens her hair and does this, I'm like, you know, she's like, you don't like it?

00:52:39.000 It's kind of wispy.

00:52:42.000 She goes, what do you mean, wispy?

00:52:43.000 I go, I just think it's nice when you put it up, which is easier for you.

00:52:45.000 She goes, well, that's easier for me, so I'll just do that.

00:52:46.000 I go, well, just do that!

00:52:47.000 Perfect!

00:52:47.000 I like that!

00:52:48.000 That's all good.

00:52:48.000 So there are preferences.

00:52:49.000 For example, I'd never seen my wife in glasses until a little bit. 1.00

00:52:52.000 And then I went, oh, hello.

00:52:54.000 The glasses are nice.

00:52:55.000 My wife has glasses. 0.98

00:52:57.000 Glasses, it's nice.

00:52:58.000 I don't know what it is.

00:52:58.000 It's a nice thing, glasses.

00:52:59.000 It's an accent.

00:53:00.000 So if it's just sort of something that he thinks makes you look sexier, more attractive, I don't think, and you enjoy your hair red.

00:53:08.000 Yeah.

00:53:08.000 I wouldn't make a big thing about it.

00:53:10.000 If he is fixating on it, then it could be a problem, but it doesn't sound like a problem.

00:53:14.000 It might be a problem if she goes back to blonde and there's like some kind of tension. 0.80

00:53:17.000 Well, but it sounds like she's, she would only do it just to make sure she can go back to blonde. 1.00

00:53:21.000 She's like, I'm going to go back to blonde. 1.00

00:53:22.000 Even though I love being a redhead, I'm going to go back to blonde just to show him that I could go back. 0.94

00:53:26.000 Just stop.

00:53:26.000 That's an ego thing.

00:53:27.000 Just stop.

00:53:27.000 Don't, if you want to go back to blonde, do it, because if you're ready to move on, that's fine.

00:53:31.000 But if you're doing it just to piss him off, to show him I can go back to blonde if I want to. 0.97

00:53:34.000 Stop.

00:53:35.000 I dress for my wife, by the way.

00:53:36.000 Stop! 1.00

00:53:37.000 I don't care what I wear.

00:53:38.000 I dress whatever my wife likes.

00:53:39.000 Yes.

00:53:39.000 Because I don't really care.

00:53:40.000 As long as it doesn't change my style or anything like that, you know, as long as I'm not all of a sudden, you know, coming in assless chaps. 1.00

00:53:45.000 If my wife says, hey, I like that shirt on you. 1.00

00:53:47.000 No, you were already wearing those before.

00:53:48.000 If my wife says, hey, I like those jeans on you, or hey, I like that shirt on you, why would I ever not wear it? 1.00

00:53:54.000 Right, exactly.

00:53:55.000 To prove a point, like, I will never wear this Henley again.

00:53:59.000 You're not the boss of me. 1.00

00:54:00.000 No, it's stupid. 1.00

00:54:01.000 It's ego. 1.00

00:54:01.000 You'll get less sex. 1.00

00:54:03.000 Why would you do that?

00:54:03.000 You should dress for your spouse.

00:54:05.000 Right.

00:54:05.000 You should say, what will my spouse think is most attractive?

00:54:08.000 And still, obviously, be your own person.

00:54:11.000 But don't let ego enter the equation here.

00:54:12.000 If you don't like being a redhead, then change it to blonde. 1.00

00:54:14.000 And if your husband doesn't love you anymore, that's a problem.

00:54:16.000 Doesn't sound like that's what's going on here.

00:54:18.000 I wouldn't make a big deal about it.

00:54:19.000 And I would show him that redheads are fiery and do all kinds of weird stuff. 1.00

00:54:25.000 Whoa.

00:54:25.000 There you go.

00:54:26.000 I mean, you know, like, bake, like, you know, like, add, like, an oatmeal raisin, but, like, add, like, a filbert.

00:54:32.000 Ooh, that's weird.

00:54:33.000 You know what I'm saying?

00:54:34.000 That's what I'm saying.

00:54:34.000 Like, live life on the wild side.

00:54:36.000 Or maybe a Brazil.

00:54:37.000 You know what I mean?

00:54:39.000 Maybe, like, you could put, like, a, like, or maybe you make, like, a pecan pie, but you try it with cashews.

00:54:43.000 You know what I'm saying?

00:54:44.000 And do it in nothing but an apron. 0.98

00:54:46.000 That's my point.

00:54:47.000 Thank you so much.

00:54:48.000 This has been Life Advice.

00:54:50.000 I am your guru.

00:54:51.000 Until next time.

00:54:56.000 Tap love!
