00:00:00.000 Is this gay?
00:00:09.200 Buddy, there's only one right answer.
00:00:10.940 It's not straight.
00:00:11.740 Wow.
00:00:12.320 Now, I am fine with that, being gay.
00:00:14.820 Yeah.
00:00:15.280 Because gay means happy and delightful.
00:00:17.680 No, it means lame and retarded.
00:00:19.200 And that's what that was.
00:00:30.000 Hello, everybody.
00:00:35.740 I'm Michael Knowles.
00:00:37.380 This is Yes or No.
00:00:40.520 Very exciting.
00:00:42.100 Nice.
00:00:43.340 Welcome to Yes or No, the bibulous battle to discover who knows whom better.
00:00:48.820 My guest today is comedian Ari Shafir, whose new Netflix comedy special, America's Sweetheart, is out now.
00:00:56.080 We'll get to see a teaser later.
00:00:57.520 How do we play?
00:00:58.160 Today, I will ask Ari a yes or no question.
00:01:01.940 He will select his answer away from my prying eyes.
00:01:05.760 Then, I will guess how he answered.
00:01:08.400 If I guess correctly, I get a point.
00:01:11.520 If I guess incorrectly, I lose a point.
00:01:14.640 No matter how I guess, I will probably drink.
00:01:18.580 Then, it's Ari's turn.
00:01:21.340 Neither of us has seen the questions beforehand.
00:01:23.420 The questions cover various and sundry topics, from the philosophical to the anatomical, and everything in between.
00:01:30.580 Whoever has the most points wins.
00:01:32.840 The stakes could be higher.
00:01:35.780 Let's get started.
00:01:37.480 Ari, thank you for being here.
00:01:38.800 That was great.
00:01:39.520 That was great.
00:01:40.560 That's a fancy-looking drink.
00:01:41.860 It's a godfather.
00:01:42.600 It's the Padron in South America.
00:01:44.440 I've got a martini, though.
00:01:45.740 I don't know.
00:01:45.980 I think someone slipped a mickey in it.
00:01:47.380 It's kind of fizzy.
00:01:48.160 I barely see a bubbly martini.
00:01:51.620 Okay, I always say chin-chin to your health.
00:01:53.420 Bubbly martinis, you can't really cheers them.
00:01:56.120 Okay, that's good.
00:01:57.580 I always say, if you win, you get to drink.
00:02:02.160 If you lose, you have to drink.
00:02:03.520 Okay.
00:02:04.280 I want to stumble out of here.
00:02:05.560 Do you believe that to be a real comic, you cannot be offended by anything?
00:02:14.360 Do you believe that to be a real comic, you cannot be offended by anything?
00:02:21.520 They're good and shuffled?
00:02:22.860 Yeah.
00:02:25.500 Okay, so that's your guess.
00:02:26.900 Okay.
00:02:27.920 Put it right on the stick.
00:02:28.760 It's a real comic, you cannot, I think you're going to say.
00:02:36.440 It's tough, you're actually, to really understand the question.
00:02:42.520 You have to figure out double negatives.
00:02:44.240 You have to really think what the other guy is going to do.
00:02:46.280 I think you say, no.
00:02:50.840 A comedian can be offended by some things.
00:02:54.960 No, okay.
00:02:55.680 The answer is no.
00:02:56.000 You're correct.
00:02:56.760 So there are some limits.
00:02:57.800 Yeah, who says you can't be offended?
00:02:59.800 This is, sometimes you hear this, oh, pure, beautiful comedy.
00:03:03.620 Someone can walk up and call your mother a whore and you have to applaud them for it or whatever.
00:03:07.240 Oh, we just prefer people not be offended, but you can get offended.
00:03:10.460 You just have to, like, leave.
00:03:11.520 Yeah.
00:03:12.460 It's all right.
00:03:13.440 You can be offended.
00:03:14.680 Yeah, my friend made a joke about 9-11 and there was somebody in the audience.
00:03:17.640 He goes, my brother died 9-11.
00:03:19.240 And he was like, oh, this is never going to be for you.
00:03:23.160 You got to go out.
00:03:23.960 You got to get out of here.
00:03:24.740 We're all going to be enjoying this.
00:03:26.140 It's just, you're not going to enjoy this.
00:03:28.600 There's no, you're not going to, you can't tailor that joke to that guy.
00:03:31.700 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:03:32.140 It's just like a sad thing.
00:03:33.080 Comics get offended, too.
00:03:34.440 Yeah.
00:03:34.780 At, like, lame jokes.
00:03:36.440 Comics get offended because of how lame they are?
00:03:38.520 Yeah, sometimes it's like, you see it roasts, that's the best.
00:03:41.420 You see it roasts, somebody make fun of you, but they'll do something bad.
00:03:43.500 But then, you know, you're on camera, so you're going to go, meh, meh, meh, meh.
00:03:47.000 Yeah, that's offensive when it includes you, too.
00:03:50.680 You know, you're part of it.
00:03:51.920 Yeah.
00:03:52.080 You're sullied by it.
00:03:52.800 I don't mind bad jokes, as long as I don't have to be part of it, yeah.
00:03:55.520 All right, now you're up.
00:03:56.460 Okay.
00:03:57.940 Take your game piece away.
00:03:59.140 Damn, nice.
00:04:00.720 I'm going to be kind of pissed.
00:04:02.820 Okay, production value on this is wild.
00:04:05.340 You guys can't see it.
00:04:06.660 I thought these were going to be printed on here.
00:04:08.300 It's just a piece of paper tape.
00:04:10.000 That's brand name.
00:04:10.440 It's got you paper.
00:04:10.940 It's not even a full tape.
00:04:12.020 They really narrowed it.
00:04:13.180 Like, Jews and Palestinians could solve their differences by bonding over their mutual love
00:04:23.620 of digging tunnels.
00:04:25.800 This is a comparison I have made a lot of times.
00:04:30.400 And, by the way, Mexicans, you're invited to the table.
00:04:34.420 Jews and Palestinians could solve their differences by bonding over their mutual love of digging tunnels.
00:04:40.120 Yes or no?
00:04:41.480 Could Jews and Palestinians solve their differences by bonding over their mutual love of digging tunnels?
00:04:53.980 Yeah, that's a lot to the question.
00:04:56.020 Could they solve those differences?
00:04:59.640 Do they both love digging tunnels?
00:05:01.320 What if they both don't?
00:05:02.700 Still, I guess they could.
00:05:07.780 Okay, I've got my answer.
00:05:08.880 You either think that they could solve their differences through that.
00:05:14.460 I think you're, I don't know enough about you.
00:05:17.340 I think you're the kind of guy who says, get them to the table and we can work anything out.
00:05:21.220 So, I'm going to say that you say, yes, they could solve those differences.
00:05:27.200 There it is.
00:05:28.500 We got a game!
00:05:31.360 They could, because the other thing is, right now, we're thinking two-dimensionally.
00:05:35.320 You know, we're thinking, but really, what if you change the direction of the tunnels?
00:05:39.780 So, like, for instance, the Palestinians are digging tunnels into Israel.
00:05:43.620 Yeah.
00:05:43.860 What if they dug them into Egypt or something?
00:05:46.320 The Palestinians get their tunnels.
00:05:47.800 Get rid of that way.
00:05:48.180 The Israelis get rid of the Palestinians.
00:05:51.080 Yeah.
00:05:51.360 Everyone's happy.
00:05:52.240 Everyone's happy.
00:05:52.840 And then they could have, like, a guest speaker, like someone from Vietnam.
00:05:57.360 Yeah.
00:05:57.680 Yeah, like, let me show you about some barbecues we had down there.
00:06:00.680 You can really doll it up.
00:06:01.620 You guys are just using it for transport.
00:06:03.020 You can live in these things.
00:06:03.960 Yeah, yeah.
00:06:04.940 Wow, that's beautiful.
00:06:06.400 Yeah.
00:06:07.160 Okay.
00:06:09.020 A homeless person started the LA fires.
00:06:13.080 The only way I could really know is if I'm the one who started them.
00:06:22.120 And then it would be, am I homeless or not?
00:06:24.060 Really Cartesian.
00:06:25.180 Yeah.
00:06:25.380 Okay.
00:06:27.060 Let's see.
00:06:27.640 A homeless person started the LA fires.
00:06:39.660 Put these here.
00:06:40.680 These are the ones.
00:06:41.940 Okay.
00:06:50.380 Yes.
00:06:54.240 Ah!
00:06:54.680 Oh, I don't know, but I believe it was PG&E.
00:06:58.760 You do, yeah.
00:06:59.600 With their constant lack of safety measures.
00:07:01.840 Did you think it was PG&E or even, like, Newsom himself?
00:07:05.440 Oh, Newsom went in there and just started fire.
00:07:06.880 Yeah, basically, yeah.
00:07:08.300 Burn it all down.
00:07:09.520 It could also have been a fat chick who's learned to be okay with her body weight, having
00:07:14.420 her thighs go together so fast that eventually it will start.
00:07:17.580 Yes.
00:07:18.120 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:07:19.380 With jorts or something.
00:07:20.560 Yeah.
00:07:20.580 It just creates a friction.
00:07:21.700 Mm-hmm.
00:07:22.380 Yeah.
00:07:22.880 When she should have walked by.
00:07:23.300 But she could have a home.
00:07:24.460 She could be housed.
00:07:25.220 Yeah.
00:07:25.440 Oh, right.
00:07:26.000 Exactly.
00:07:26.520 Yeah.
00:07:27.500 I really don't know.
00:07:29.000 I don't know.
00:07:29.700 Yeah, it's funny, though.
00:07:30.640 Everybody went right to, like, who did it.
00:07:32.220 Like, hey, go help them, though, first.
00:07:33.880 First time I ever went to LA, I went up.
00:07:36.860 I said, I want to see the Hollywood sign.
00:07:38.220 I love cigars.
00:07:39.340 So I go up.
00:07:40.160 Went up there for the first time.
00:07:41.260 Did you?
00:07:41.760 I lived there for 12 years, been back for 10, and I never was up there.
00:07:44.540 It's like New Yorkers with the Empire State Building.
00:07:46.440 You know, if you're there a lot, you don't go.
00:07:47.820 But I went up, and I said, that's really cool.
00:07:50.200 And you know what?
00:07:50.500 I'm going to smoke a cigar.
00:07:51.860 And all these.
00:07:52.720 Oh.
00:07:53.440 They come by.
00:07:53.880 They're screaming at me.
00:07:55.060 Yeah.
00:07:55.140 I said, what's the matter?
00:07:55.760 They hate smoking?
00:07:56.880 I was like Steve Martin in The Jerker.
00:07:58.280 This guy hates cans, you know?
00:07:59.820 And I'm smoking my cigar.
00:08:01.020 And then I realized it's because it can burn the whole city to the ground.
00:08:04.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:08:04.780 They can't even smoke cigarettes in your car on the way up.
00:08:07.480 Yeah.
00:08:07.720 The window's up.
00:08:08.660 Yeah.
00:08:08.960 They're, like, real strict about it.
00:08:10.260 Yeah, yeah.
00:08:10.940 Okay.
00:08:11.200 Did they find out who actually started it, or is it just a bunch of theories?
00:08:14.280 No, it's going to be like Notre Dame Cathedral.
00:08:16.720 They're going to be like, wasn't it the Muslims?
00:08:18.860 And they'll be like, no, it was, you know, just a random cigarette or something.
00:08:21.900 No one's going to ever find out ever, but it was probably the homeless.
00:08:24.640 I will say, it might not have been PG&A, but PG&A has started over 1,000 fires in California.
00:08:32.080 So why would you think it's not?
00:08:33.440 Yeah.
00:08:34.220 You're right.
00:08:36.920 That's called a lead, boys.
00:08:41.200 The world would be better if everyone had at least one psychedelic trip.
00:08:46.740 Now, what do I know about Michael Knowles?
00:08:48.920 Is he straight edge?
00:08:53.400 Michael, before you answer, I'm going to tell you something.
00:08:55.940 Okay.
00:08:57.520 Do you believe in God?
00:08:58.660 Do?
00:08:59.180 I do.
00:09:00.940 God makes things for reasons.
00:09:02.760 We can't know them all, but he makes things for a reason.
00:09:04.840 Yes.
00:09:05.980 Why would he make mushrooms if he didn't want us to take it?
00:09:08.440 Answer your question.
00:09:09.220 Wow.
00:09:09.940 It's a lot to think about.
00:09:11.240 It's kind of leading the witness, you know?
00:09:15.600 The world would be better if everyone had at least one psychedelic trip.
00:09:18.900 I got to say yes.
00:09:19.820 You'd be crazy not to think that.
00:09:21.360 It would obviously be better.
00:09:23.180 There's only one acceptable answer, Nulls.
00:09:24.780 Could I please have my point?
00:09:25.520 That's crazy.
00:09:26.360 That's crazy.
00:09:27.420 How would it not be better?
00:09:28.860 How wouldn't it be improved?
00:09:30.280 Here.
00:09:30.560 You talk to God.
00:09:31.780 He said, pick up the phone.
00:09:32.780 I want to talk to you.
00:09:33.480 Yeah, but he also created, like, you know, I don't know, avocados doesn't mean I want
00:09:38.720 to eat them.
00:09:39.320 They're no good, but he made them.
00:09:40.840 Everyone had access to avocados.
00:09:42.540 It wouldn't be better.
00:09:43.520 Yeah, but now they won't because Trump is slapping tariff signs.
00:09:46.020 You think it wouldn't be better, though?
00:09:47.720 No, because I'm going to quote Paul McCartney here.
00:09:50.100 Okay.
00:09:50.700 Paul McCartney gave this story.
00:09:52.260 He said, John said, he said, John said, you know, if you have some LSD, then it'll rewire
00:09:58.420 your brain.
00:09:58.940 And I thought, you know, well, my brain's all I got, you know, and I don't want to lose
00:10:02.660 my brain, man, you know.
00:10:04.160 And that's kind of how I feel.
00:10:05.600 I was really tempted by psychedelics.
00:10:08.120 Yeah.
00:10:08.380 Because listen, back in my wayward youth, man, I had a few puffs of the devil's lettuce
00:10:11.820 every so often, you know, a couple of jazz cigarettes, but I had a bunch of friends
00:10:16.240 that got really into acid.
00:10:17.520 Yeah.
00:10:17.960 And mushrooms.
00:10:20.120 But this is the thing, though.
00:10:21.760 Yeah.
00:10:22.620 All it takes is one, man.
00:10:24.380 And then I take some tab of acid, and then I think I'm a banana and start peeling my
00:10:28.540 skin off or something.
00:10:28.880 Only for like 10 hours.
00:10:31.560 It's not forever.
00:10:32.560 What's it like?
00:10:34.360 You just remove yourself from your ego.
00:10:37.000 Yeah.
00:10:37.220 You get to view the whole world without, like, connection to it.
00:10:40.120 And so you can look at yourself with, like, oh, that's a guy who's just going through
00:10:43.860 this, and you're not, like, trying to defend your own actions.
00:10:47.500 So you're like, oh, that guy should, like, tell his friends he loves them more.
00:10:50.120 That guy meaning you.
00:10:51.180 You, yeah.
00:10:51.560 You're viewing yourself.
00:10:51.760 You know everything about that guy.
00:10:52.800 You know a little bit about lots of people, but you know the most about yourself.
00:10:55.980 Yeah.
00:10:56.400 But because you're, like, trying to defend your actions all the time.
00:10:59.740 Yeah.
00:11:00.100 I don't know if that's the ego or whatever, but, like, then you don't, you know, improve.
00:11:03.560 Because, but if you can, like, you ever play golf?
00:11:06.960 Yeah.
00:11:07.340 Play best ball?
00:11:08.480 I, no.
00:11:09.740 Both of you hit a shot, then you decide which shot to hit from there.
00:11:12.320 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:11:12.960 Everyone ends up, there's some point in the golf course where you hit one here in the
00:11:16.540 sand close, and I hit one further away in the fairway.
00:11:19.900 And we both argue about which one's ball is better.
00:11:21.680 And you're both defending your own ball.
00:11:23.240 Yeah.
00:11:23.420 But if you looked at it with, like, I don't know, here's two balls, we'd agree.
00:11:26.800 Would you agree?
00:11:27.900 Yeah, you'd agree.
00:11:28.600 That one's better, or that one's better.
00:11:30.340 But because you're, like, looking at your own thing, you want yours to be better.
00:11:34.380 So, with mushrooms, it takes away the ability.
00:11:38.080 Did you find, this is my big objection to mushrooms.
00:11:41.720 I've had friends who got into psychedelics, and one thing they tell me.
00:11:45.440 One, though, one, one time.
00:11:46.920 Okay, one, psychedelic.
00:11:48.220 Yeah, okay.
00:11:49.360 One thing they tell me is, you know, man, I've heard this from multiple people.
00:11:52.540 I mean, I'll talk the same way.
00:11:53.380 They'll be like, oh, yeah, you know, man, oh, you know, man.
00:11:56.400 They'll say, I just, I felt so much more at peace with myself.
00:12:00.700 Yeah.
00:12:00.860 I wasn't so worried about, like, sin and guilt and shame.
00:12:05.920 Yeah.
00:12:06.420 But, man, I think guilt and shame are great.
00:12:09.280 Yeah, okay.
00:12:09.700 I'm very pro-guilt and shame, you know?
00:12:12.040 Like, I.
00:12:12.580 My superpower, I don't like superpower, I read not to be able to feel shame.
00:12:15.760 So, I could just do whatever.
00:12:17.180 It's good for a comedian.
00:12:18.060 Yeah, exactly.
00:12:18.900 Karen, you got it.
00:12:19.740 Yeah.
00:12:21.160 All right.
00:12:25.580 Is this racist?
00:12:28.240 And now we're going to watch a video.
00:12:29.840 This is, hold on.
00:12:31.060 I need you to help build a deck.
00:12:34.240 Yes.
00:12:36.600 They think they're coming over to my house.
00:12:38.640 Is this you?
00:12:38.760 Fixed my deck.
00:12:39.540 Yeah, a long time ago.
00:12:40.220 What they don't know is that we're not going to my house.
00:12:42.260 We're going somewhere else.
00:12:43.880 I'm not going to ruin the surprise, but we'll be there in a minute.
00:12:46.140 I remember this video.
00:12:47.360 Yeah.
00:12:47.780 It was early, uh, pre-YouTube.
00:12:51.560 Oh, boy.
00:12:52.020 Was this, like, E-Balm's world or something?
00:12:58.040 Yeah.
00:12:58.400 I am...
00:12:59.400 Yeah, it was a long time ago.
00:13:08.900 I didn't realize I was in the presence of royalty.
00:13:11.020 Yeah, thanks.
00:13:11.580 This is every 14-year-old boy's, like, first foray into the internet.
00:13:14.520 That was an amazing bit.
00:13:17.520 Yeah.
00:13:18.580 Yeah, it was pretty funny.
00:13:19.860 It was out there.
00:13:20.440 We did it for National Lampoon's, and then, uh, and then, like, right at the beginning,
00:13:23.620 it's, like, E-Balm's world.
00:13:24.600 Yeah.
00:13:24.820 And, uh, somebody ripped it to the internet.
00:13:28.180 YouTube.
00:13:28.580 It was early, early YouTube.
00:13:30.240 So, people with no context, you're like, what the F is this?
00:13:33.300 That was a great bit.
00:13:35.020 Yeah, thanks.
00:13:35.920 Thanks.
00:13:38.560 Okay, I think you'll say it's racist.
00:13:40.240 Yes.
00:13:41.020 And here's why.
00:13:42.240 Not what you're thinking.
00:13:43.320 Here's why it's racist.
00:13:44.120 It was just a racial joke.
00:13:45.100 Those people all got, you know, gave them all 50 bucks.
00:13:48.260 That wasn't actually a, uh...
00:13:50.480 A sting operation?
00:13:51.520 Yeah.
00:13:51.880 It was a library in Van Nuys.
00:13:54.840 Um, it's because I still have that shirt.
00:13:58.020 That was over 20 years ago.
00:13:59.120 And I'm a Jew who still has an article of clothing from 20 years ago.
00:14:02.780 And that is racist.
00:14:05.000 Not against the Mexicans.
00:14:05.940 Not against the Mexicans.
00:14:06.840 In the last place you'd look.
00:14:08.340 Mm-hmm.
00:14:09.220 Anti-Semitism.
00:14:10.120 Yes.
00:14:10.600 Yeah.
00:14:11.060 I remember watching that the first time.
00:14:12.900 I thought, this is a very anti-Semitic video.
00:14:14.580 Yeah.
00:14:15.020 So obvious.
00:14:16.540 Wow.
00:14:17.060 Amazing.
00:14:17.260 That would have got me a lot of death threats.
00:14:18.660 Did it really?
00:14:19.380 Oh, yeah.
00:14:20.060 My friend Duncan Dressel put up, uh, it was, like, early, early internet, man.
00:14:23.720 It was so fun.
00:14:24.920 And he just put in, um, artistic terrorism was his website.
00:14:28.620 He put in, like, hey, prank call my friend, Ari Shaffir.
00:14:30.920 This was before that came out.
00:14:32.440 Prank call my friend, Ari Shaffir.
00:14:33.560 Best one.
00:14:34.160 You record it.
00:14:34.700 I'll give you 20 bucks.
00:14:36.440 And so then that came out.
00:14:37.540 Everyone started Googling me.
00:14:38.420 I used my real name.
00:14:39.640 Dumb.
00:14:40.520 And, uh, and then the first thing would come up.
00:14:42.480 It was, like, Ari Shaffir with phone number.
00:14:44.660 And so I would just start getting phone calls.
00:14:46.500 Like, I'll build a deck in your ass, Holmes.
00:14:48.120 It was so great.
00:14:51.780 I'm like, what is this?
00:14:53.320 Wow.
00:14:53.820 Fast forward to the Trump era, you know?
00:14:55.740 Oh, yeah.
00:14:56.080 You're on the winning side now.
00:14:57.160 It's got new life.
00:14:59.620 You're right.
00:15:00.260 Nice kids like it.
00:15:03.860 Oh, here we go.
00:15:05.100 Oh, this is great.
00:15:06.080 Is this gay?
00:15:07.860 Dumb, dumb, dumb.
00:15:11.000 Wow.
00:15:11.360 Buddy, there's only one right answer.
00:15:27.920 Yeah.
00:15:28.520 Now, hold on.
00:15:29.260 I got to guess.
00:15:30.020 I got to.
00:15:30.380 I know.
00:15:30.860 I got to guess.
00:15:31.780 Be a man.
00:15:32.840 Own up to what you did.
00:15:33.940 Own up to your crimes.
00:15:35.620 Own up to your crimes.
00:15:36.720 And the production value.
00:15:37.940 All of you were part of that.
00:15:41.360 It's obviously gay.
00:15:43.960 It's so freaking gay.
00:15:45.480 It's gay.
00:15:46.020 Oh, my God.
00:15:47.440 It's not straight.
00:15:48.400 Wow.
00:15:48.880 Now.
00:15:49.480 Wow.
00:15:49.920 How did you not get deported from a music town for that?
00:15:53.740 I'm going to tell you, though.
00:15:54.580 I am fine with that being gay.
00:15:56.600 Yeah.
00:15:57.160 Because I want to reclaim the word.
00:15:59.260 You know, gay means happy and delightful.
00:16:01.820 And right now, like, for instance, have you heard this term, the woke?
00:16:04.340 No, it means lame and retarded.
00:16:05.880 And that's what that was.
00:16:07.220 Well, but even.
00:16:08.100 I was thinking about this the other day.
00:16:09.280 I was thinking about this.
00:16:10.020 So, so gay is like happy.
00:16:13.300 I can't even look at you.
00:16:14.280 No, listen.
00:16:14.960 I don't.
00:16:15.440 My, my shoes are brown.
00:16:16.980 I'm not even wearing the suede ones now.
00:16:18.480 You're not wearing socks.
00:16:19.300 Yeah.
00:16:19.520 Well, I'm still not wearing socks.
00:16:20.760 And I can do a little pas de bourree.
00:16:22.300 But I, the, so you ever heard of the woke, right?
00:16:26.160 Have you heard of this new phrase, the woke, right?
00:16:27.600 It's like.
00:16:27.980 I love it.
00:16:28.620 It's referring, it's like the fascist.
00:16:30.800 Yeah.
00:16:30.840 It's Karen's on the other side.
00:16:31.860 So, so it's, but if that, if it means that the extreme edgy hip, if that means that woke
00:16:37.820 is the new based, which means.
00:16:40.640 Woke is the new based.
00:16:41.280 Woke is the new based, which means straight is the new gay.
00:16:43.840 And then I was even thinking the etymology of the word.
00:16:45.800 Can I use a naughty word?
00:16:46.720 There's a lot of dancing around an apology.
00:16:48.680 Can I, hold it.
00:16:49.200 Can I, can I say it?
00:16:50.820 Maybe they can bleep it out.
00:16:52.200 The word.
00:16:54.480 Yeah.
00:16:54.840 It, it, etymologically, it's related to fascist, like bundle of sticks.
00:16:59.680 Okay.
00:17:00.080 So basically.
00:17:01.020 But it means something different now.
00:17:02.260 But now, well, that's what I'm saying.
00:17:03.440 If, can we reclaim the word?
00:17:04.800 Like instead of being based, straight, patriotic, should we be, is it now cool to be woke, gay?
00:17:13.020 No, no.
00:17:14.820 Sexual.
00:17:15.600 No.
00:17:15.760 That had nothing to do with that.
00:17:17.200 That whole thing was gay.
00:17:18.660 The production value was gay.
00:17:20.220 The little wink thing was gay.
00:17:21.960 The thinking you're awesome.
00:17:23.960 That was gay.
00:17:25.440 That was from start to finish gay.
00:17:27.620 I can see someone goes, hey, how about we do a take where you get on the table?
00:17:30.620 It's gay.
00:17:31.740 They're gay for suggesting it.
00:17:32.940 You're gay for doing it.
00:17:33.880 Yeah.
00:17:34.320 That's gay.
00:17:35.140 Can I.
00:17:35.440 I'm out of here.
00:17:35.900 Here's my only, here's my only defense.
00:17:37.420 Part of this.
00:17:37.900 Yeah.
00:17:38.040 My only other defense.
00:17:39.100 They.
00:17:39.300 Throw yourself at the court and the mercy of them.
00:17:42.280 My, oh, they.
00:17:43.580 They initially wanted me to wear a turtleneck too.
00:17:45.940 Oh.
00:17:46.460 So, okay.
00:17:46.920 So that's a little straighter than that.
00:17:48.000 Yeah.
00:17:48.140 Thanks for fighting back.
00:17:48.920 Yeah.
00:17:49.340 Okay.
00:17:49.640 All right.
00:17:50.100 Well, I, I take my licks.
00:17:51.460 Oh.
00:17:51.700 And by the way, I'm not gay, even though my boyfriend is.

00:19:22.920 Okay, I've got one for you.
00:19:25.180 I mean, did Ben Shapiro see that?
00:19:26.760 He directed that, actually.
00:19:27.800 He wrote it.
00:19:30.620 We've overcomplicated cancel culture.
00:19:33.160 It's not about the left or right.
00:19:35.400 It's really just Kobe Bryant fans.
00:19:39.820 Wow.
00:19:40.280 What's your answer?
00:19:42.680 I say...
00:19:47.180 Should I get one of those martinis?
00:19:48.800 I kind of want a godfather.
00:19:50.240 Yeah, let's swap these.
00:19:51.280 I'd get a godfather.
00:19:52.180 I'd get a little backup godfather.
00:19:53.420 I got to catch up.
00:19:54.420 I say you say yes.
00:20:00.900 No, there is no cancel culture.
00:20:03.080 It's a geezer term.
00:20:04.180 That's about five years ago.
00:20:05.200 Literally, nobody's talking about it anymore.
00:20:07.020 Why did it end?
00:20:08.920 Because it's like every word.
00:20:10.220 You guys expanded it so much.
00:20:12.660 Expanded it so much to where it has no meaning anymore.
00:20:14.560 Nazi, fascist.
00:20:15.500 It doesn't mean the same thing.
00:20:16.460 So you have different people arguing about different meanings.
00:20:19.720 Yeah.
00:20:20.000 So like, is this guy a Nazi?
00:20:20.980 I'm going, clearly yes.
00:20:21.780 Someone, a Holocaust survivor's son.
00:20:23.860 It was like, clearly no.
00:20:24.920 Right.
00:20:25.260 Then we'll never communicate.
00:20:26.420 We're talking about different things.
00:20:28.160 Right.
00:20:29.040 And that's what happened here.
00:20:30.400 Yeah.
00:20:30.840 Yeah, I do.
00:20:31.420 It was that you'll never have an ability to work again.
00:20:34.360 Some people say that.
00:20:35.220 Other people are like, are you losing work over it?
00:20:37.720 Yeah.
00:20:38.020 Other people are like, is it just mean you got in trouble?
00:20:40.640 So we're all talking about different stuff.
00:20:41.940 So they just kind of went away.
00:20:42.840 Just do your work.
00:20:43.960 Yeah.
00:20:44.620 Yeah, I agree.
00:20:45.680 Even, I think 15 years ago, people would be like, you're a racist.
00:20:49.480 It's like, no, I'm not.
00:20:50.780 No, I'm not, man.
00:20:51.900 Seriously.
00:20:52.980 But now, you're a racist.
00:20:54.740 You're like, sure.
00:20:57.720 Who even cares?
00:20:58.620 Whatever.
00:20:59.840 It's the dumbest issue in America, and we're constantly talking about it.
00:21:02.840 Okay.
00:21:03.960 You're up.
00:21:04.280 Yeah, I'm giving you that.
00:21:05.160 I'll admit when I'm wrong.
00:21:06.220 Let's go.
00:21:06.940 I'll admit when I'm wrong.
00:21:08.300 Yeah.
00:21:08.720 And I'll admit when I'm gay.
00:21:11.080 Yeah, great.
00:21:12.500 That's great.
00:21:13.400 Right now, go to helixsleep.com slash Knowles.

00:22:36.980 What would they make me say on camera?
00:22:38.420 Yeah.
00:22:38.980 Being a female comedian is not hard.
00:22:41.020 You just need to be hefty, dykey, or Jewish.
00:22:43.600 Wow.
00:22:44.920 Wow.
00:22:46.520 Oof.
00:22:48.460 Hefty.
00:22:49.760 You didn't shy away from dykey, but you shied away from fat.
00:22:55.820 By the way, the twist of orange in here, whoever made this, that's a solid, that's great.
00:23:00.540 A lot of people missed that.
00:23:01.420 That's an impressive drink.
00:23:03.240 Okay, I've got my answer, Tim.
00:23:05.080 I'm going to say, what would you say?
00:23:09.640 It's not what I'd say.
00:23:10.600 Not what you'd say.
00:23:11.320 You have no ownership of this opinion.
00:23:14.900 How well do you know stand-up?
00:23:15.860 I heard you didn't know who Nate Bargatze was until a week ago.
00:23:17.940 I heard the name.
00:23:19.080 He's the number one grossing comedian in the world.
00:23:22.520 So you don't know anything about comedy.
00:23:24.500 I know the beginning and end of comedy.
00:23:27.200 Yeah.
00:23:27.540 Norm Macdonald.
00:23:28.620 That's all I know about comedy.
00:23:34.700 I'm hoping you're going to say, ah, man.
00:23:37.640 Yeah.
00:23:37.980 I don't know.
00:23:38.340 I think you're going to say yes, but I don't know.
00:23:41.140 Hold on.
00:23:41.620 I'm not saying this yet.
00:23:43.040 Mm-hmm.
00:23:43.480 It is.
00:23:44.400 Oh, there's more to it than that now.
00:23:45.320 Because what if you say yes, and then I say no, and then you look like you think it?
00:23:47.740 So you don't watch any stand-up?
00:23:49.100 I watch some stand-up.
00:23:50.060 Just Norm.
00:23:50.740 Just Norm.
00:23:51.280 Clips on Reap.
00:23:52.000 Yeah.
00:23:53.520 No, some other guy.
00:23:54.460 Sometimes some.
00:23:56.600 Oh.
00:23:59.660 It's, there's definitely more to it.
00:24:01.720 I think you're going to say yes, but there's definitely more to it than that.
00:24:04.860 It doesn't, it's just my opinion.
00:24:05.980 It's just your opinion.
00:24:06.980 Yeah.
00:24:07.200 I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt, and then you say no.
00:24:12.820 Come on.
00:24:13.420 You knew the answer.
00:24:14.040 I knew it.
00:24:14.600 You knew the answer.
00:24:15.500 There's so much more to it.
00:24:16.860 Please.
00:24:17.380 It's not that easy.
00:24:18.620 Let me tell you.
00:24:19.140 You still have to write good jokes.
00:24:20.020 You don't think I know fat, lesbian, Jew comics?
00:24:26.300 There's so much more to it.
00:24:27.240 You're right.
00:24:27.580 You still got to be able to write a joke.
00:24:28.600 Would you say at least that is the minimum condition required?
00:24:31.700 No, you can be hot now, too.
00:24:33.040 Everything's different.
00:24:33.740 Dane Cook changed everything.
00:24:34.960 It's not for dorks anymore.
00:24:37.140 There's like attractive people come into this.
00:24:38.660 I hate it.
00:24:39.400 I think it's gross.
00:24:40.960 I think it's gross.
00:24:42.300 This was a calling card.
00:24:44.680 And now it's all different.
00:24:45.700 These people like have nice hair.
00:24:47.180 They got look like you.
00:24:48.060 They got, all right.
00:24:49.420 It's so much harder than that.
00:24:50.660 You know, that was not, that's not.
00:24:51.760 That's another old one.
00:24:52.700 That's another old.
00:24:53.880 That's not my opinion.
00:24:54.940 10 years ago term.
00:24:56.160 Actually, the guy whose opinion that was, he wrote an essay in Vanity Fair.
00:24:59.740 Yeah.
00:25:00.100 He's been dead for like 10 years.
00:25:01.140 Michael Hutchins?
00:25:02.100 Christopher Hitchens.
00:25:02.780 Christopher Hitchens.
00:25:03.240 Christopher Hitchens.
00:25:04.140 His view was that they have to be hefty, dyke, or Jewish.
00:25:06.320 It was a long time ago.
00:25:07.480 After that started, so let me just tell you what happened.
00:25:10.100 After that started, a bunch of women who hadn't even started yet got into stand-up.
00:25:15.560 Not because of that, but it.
00:25:16.640 So, these 15-year comics that are now like running the world were post that.
00:25:21.720 Who?
00:25:22.520 Because I could name, I could name some exceptions to the rule, but exceptions prove the rule.
00:25:25.560 Yeah.
00:25:26.220 Who are the female comedians who are funny, who are actually funny?
00:25:29.620 Yeah.
00:25:30.000 And they can even be TV comedians.
00:25:31.280 They don't have to be just standing.
00:25:32.020 Yeah.
00:25:32.600 Who are, who don't fit one of those three categories.
00:25:35.480 Hefty.
00:25:37.500 Adrian's fat.
00:25:40.640 Michelle Wolfe.
00:25:42.020 Michelle Wolfe.
00:25:43.160 Yeah.
00:25:43.340 And you would say she's funny?
00:25:44.480 Oh, yeah.
00:25:44.820 She's great.
00:25:45.480 Really?
00:25:46.080 Yeah.
00:25:46.260 She was like the best female comic in the world at some point.
00:25:48.860 She was definitely famous.
00:25:51.020 No, you see her Netflix stuff.
00:25:52.480 Yeah.
00:25:52.760 She's her stand-up.
00:25:53.320 Really?
00:25:53.740 Is it fun?
00:25:54.080 Okay.
00:25:54.400 All right.
00:25:54.540 I'll take your word for it.
00:25:55.160 She's the white chick so hard.
00:25:56.180 Really?
00:25:56.600 She speaks for all of us.
00:25:59.320 Because we can, you know how they're like, well, you can't say that about black people
00:26:01.920 or the military or whatever, because you're not in there.
00:26:03.640 She's the white chick going, you have to calm down.
00:26:08.120 She's, she was all of us.
00:26:09.920 Yeah.
00:26:10.720 Okay.
00:26:11.080 She's a great example.
00:26:12.460 Okay.
00:26:13.160 Yeah.
00:26:13.860 There's, there's so many.
00:26:15.280 I was cumin.
00:26:16.260 There's just like a ton in New York.
00:26:17.760 It's, it's like.
00:26:18.420 All right.
00:26:18.740 When I used to work at the comedy store, people would call in, I'd work the phones, they'd be
00:26:21.660 like, is Jim Carrey going to be there?
00:26:22.920 I'm like, no.
00:26:23.760 They're like, how about Eddie Murphy?
00:26:24.920 I'm like, no.
00:26:25.980 And then it was like, how about this?
00:26:27.160 And it was like, hey, listen, anyone you've heard of is bad now.
00:26:30.060 Yeah.
00:26:30.800 It is not a current stand-up comic.
00:26:32.460 The real stand-ups are like in it now.
00:26:34.980 Yeah.
00:26:35.080 Yeah, of course.
00:26:35.980 But I also know a lot of like lesbo comics that are really funny, but that's not the
00:26:41.100 requirement.
00:26:41.520 But no Jewish.
00:26:42.380 That's a geezer.
00:26:42.960 You don't know any.
00:26:44.180 That's a geezer take.
00:26:44.980 Okay.
00:26:45.380 Look, I'll have to look up.
00:26:45.920 I get it.
00:26:46.420 You're just not around stand-up.
00:26:47.420 I'll have to watch it.
00:26:47.940 I should have gone.
00:26:48.360 Yes.
00:26:48.580 I should have known that would be the take.
00:26:50.260 I'll take the points.
00:26:51.080 That's fine by me.
00:26:51.800 Yeah.
00:26:52.080 Yeah.
00:26:52.280 Okay.
00:26:54.540 There is, there's a video to be played.
00:26:59.000 It is absolutely wild times.
00:27:02.700 It really, really.
00:27:04.200 I was there for this.
00:27:04.940 Really?
00:27:05.680 I was.
00:27:06.180 It was the only Trump writer.
00:27:06.880 It was rare that you will play a homosexual comedian on this network.
00:27:09.960 I don't know if you guys know this, but there's literally a floating island of garbage
00:27:12.500 in the middle of the ocean right now.
00:27:14.640 Yeah.
00:27:15.160 I think it's called Puerto Rico.
00:27:18.520 Okay.
00:27:19.360 All right.
00:27:20.340 Tony rules.
00:27:22.000 Yeah.
00:27:22.940 Okay.
00:27:23.640 That's one of my best friends.
00:27:25.300 Technically speaking, is Puerto Rico, in fact, a floating pile of garbage?
00:27:31.160 No, you're not.
00:27:31.840 I have to guess how you would guess.
00:27:33.380 Is technically safe.
00:27:36.000 Yeah.
00:27:36.600 Yeah.
00:27:36.860 So we're talking geology here.
00:27:38.640 Yeah.
00:27:38.920 Dude, I'm already Jewish.
00:27:40.320 You don't have to try to educate me.
00:27:40.920 Yeah.
00:27:40.940 Okay.
00:27:41.340 All right.
00:27:41.740 So the answer you would say is yes.
00:27:43.860 No, it doesn't float.
00:27:44.960 Oh.
00:27:45.600 It doesn't.
00:27:48.900 What?
00:27:49.940 That's crazy.
00:27:51.480 Do you think, oh my God, that's so sad.
00:27:53.400 Buddy, do you think islands float?
00:27:54.500 Oh, I'm really sorry.
00:27:57.180 No, it goes all the way down.
00:27:58.760 Yeah.
00:28:00.340 It's just garbage to the seabed.
00:28:03.480 Oh, yeah.
00:28:04.400 He, I was, it was the only Trump riot.
00:28:06.080 How was it?
00:28:06.940 Well, so the way they played it, you'd think he was doing a buddy routine with Trump on stage.
00:28:12.060 That was like six hours before Trump got there.
00:28:14.860 Sweet.
00:28:15.480 So he goes, he gets there and he does this whole like 30 minute thing about it.
00:28:19.400 And he gets there and he goes, hey, I'm here.
00:28:20.880 I have this, these notes I wrote like on this tiny piece of paper because I can't let the lady next to me see what I'm writing on the plane.
00:28:27.940 And he goes, do you have the teleprompter?
00:28:29.700 And they go, no, it's too late for that.
00:28:30.880 He goes, oh, all right.
00:28:32.100 Well, I got to memorize these jokes real quick.
00:28:33.960 And he goes, when am I going?
00:28:34.880 They're like, you're going first.
00:28:35.760 And he goes, he goes, oh, that's no way.
00:28:39.160 I'm a dirty comedian.
00:28:41.160 Yeah.
00:28:41.620 He goes, I don't go first at night.
00:28:42.980 It's like nude.
00:28:43.600 It's nude.
00:28:43.940 When he's going.
00:28:44.780 What a terrible order.
00:28:46.560 He said he saw afterwards everyone coming in with like all the, all the, like the, the tweets were coming in.
00:28:50.440 Like how dare this guy.
00:28:51.680 And he goes, and then he looks up and there's a magician on stage.
00:28:54.060 He goes, why is that guy not before me?
00:28:56.680 He's doing like painting.
00:28:58.060 Wrong order.
00:28:58.540 Yeah.
00:28:59.000 So how did it go?
00:29:00.240 It, so I had just gotten here.
00:29:02.160 You got to figure out he's playing at this point.
00:29:04.200 It's Madison Square Garden.
00:29:06.200 80% is empty because people aren't getting there for four more hours.
00:29:10.380 So I'm there at this point.
00:29:11.540 I mean, there, there are still a lot of people.
00:29:12.820 There's still probably, I don't know, 2000, 3000.
00:29:14.900 Yeah.
00:29:15.100 But you know, 25,000 theater.
00:29:16.960 By the way, the last time he was there, he performed for his sold out match.
00:29:20.700 For his show.
00:29:21.580 Yeah.
00:29:21.920 Yeah.
00:29:22.400 So it's like, he's going into this jarring thing, but I thought it was so great.
00:29:26.940 It reminded.
00:29:27.500 Did you watch anybody or were you kind of glancing at it?
00:29:29.060 Yeah.
00:29:29.320 I mean, I was there.
00:29:29.900 I was like getting my whatever hot dog and drink, but I was, I was listening to it.
00:29:34.420 I was like, oh, this is different.
00:29:35.760 And it reminded me, I remember John Stewart reacted to Clint Eastwood doing the empty
00:29:40.840 chair bit at the RNC and everyone was, was piling on Eastwood and John Stewart said, oh
00:29:46.500 man, I loved it.
00:29:47.580 It was so refreshing.
00:29:49.080 It was so different than anything you hear at these.
00:29:51.300 I thought it was great.
00:29:53.180 I thought it was so funny.
00:29:54.780 People that friends there, they'd go like, no, you did well.
00:29:57.140 Yeah.
00:29:57.400 And then just not really mic'd for.
00:29:59.500 Yeah.
00:29:59.660 Yeah.
00:29:59.880 No, in terms of the, like just the people sitting around me in a largely empty stadium.
00:30:03.960 Yeah.
00:30:04.860 They loved it.
00:30:05.660 I mean, that was a straight set up job.
00:30:07.460 That's just like, that's political people suck.
00:30:10.020 Yeah.
00:30:10.380 They just were just like, let's just offer this guy up.
00:30:12.540 Who cares if it's true or not?
00:30:13.820 Let's just misrepresent what happened for our own personal game.
00:30:17.360 It's all Game of Thrones, right and left.
00:30:19.020 You guys are all doing Game of Thrones stuff.
00:30:20.140 Also though, that joke.
00:30:21.660 Yeah.
00:30:21.940 Do you know any Puerto Ricans who were offended by that joke?
00:30:24.800 No.
00:30:25.060 Well, I make a point to not be around.
00:30:26.720 No, no.
00:30:27.160 Any Puerto Ricans.
00:30:28.080 No, no.
00:30:28.480 I do.
00:30:28.840 I do know.
00:30:29.320 I do know what.
00:30:29.940 His father was stabbed, but let's forget that stereotype, but Luis Gomez, but no, no,
00:30:38.740 none.
00:30:39.000 Also, there's almost no undecided voters that time.
00:30:41.360 And they try to broaden it from Puerto Ricans to all Latinos.
00:30:45.580 And other Latinos are like, you know, a lot of us hate each other.
00:30:49.140 Most of us, actually.
00:30:50.220 Yeah.
00:30:50.600 You guys are acting like one unit that's all going to be offended by humor.
00:30:54.200 It was so dumb.
00:30:55.180 It's so like, it really made me hate all politicians that they'll do this to my industry.
00:31:00.620 Yeah.
00:31:00.940 Take it out of context and intention, like offer someone's whole life up.
00:31:04.720 Yeah, of course.
00:31:05.300 Because you got to figure at that point, it was two weeks before the election.
00:31:08.560 So the Dems were like, well, whatever.
00:31:09.720 We're going to treat that guy like he's Trump's vice president.
00:31:11.600 Yeah.
00:31:11.720 You know, he's the running mate.
00:31:13.180 Exactly.
00:31:13.800 Yeah.
00:31:14.300 It's funny.
00:31:14.800 I've talked some, some comedians got upset about it.
00:31:17.460 Really?
00:31:17.840 And I tried to reach out to them like compassionately, like, you know, not like publicly just like
00:31:21.800 message.
00:31:22.320 They got upset by the joke or the fact that he did a gig for Trump?
00:31:25.180 Yeah.
00:31:25.320 That's what it came down to.
00:31:26.420 Yeah.
00:31:26.700 They're like, it's racist.
00:31:27.340 I'm like, it's not.
00:31:27.740 It means this and this.
00:31:28.540 And also he's like, Tony's like obsessed with the refuse problem in Puerto Rico.
00:31:33.960 They actually have abandoned the nation state.
00:31:36.940 I don't know what you call it even.
00:31:37.720 I mean, I'm also living in a very liberal area in Manhattan.
00:31:41.220 And when Trump said that Puerto Rico is not part of America and everyone's like, all the
00:31:46.160 liberals like, that's, is that wrong?
00:31:48.340 Yeah.
00:31:48.700 It's crazy.
00:31:49.380 How dare you?
00:31:50.120 Like they were just running out right then.
00:31:52.120 It's a protectorate.
00:31:54.020 Is it a principality?
00:31:55.520 I don't.
00:31:55.740 But, um, so that, but they see him as Hitler, as Adolf Hitler.
00:32:00.500 Yes.
00:32:00.940 Yeah.
00:32:01.400 And it doesn't matter what the joke meant to them.
00:32:04.680 Yeah.
00:32:04.880 You're trying to get Hitler back in, in charge of the United States of America.
00:32:09.140 Right.
00:32:09.520 So to them, it's like joke or joke dot work.
00:32:12.840 What does that have to do with it?
00:32:13.480 So you can't get through it.
00:32:14.400 Yeah.
00:32:14.960 Same thing.
00:32:15.480 They're speaking different languages.
00:32:16.400 He could have gone up and said why the chicken crossed the road and you would have had half
00:32:20.000 the country furious at him for it.
00:32:21.520 Yeah.
00:32:22.260 Oh yeah, exactly.
00:32:23.080 Why are you even there?
00:32:24.040 Yeah.
00:32:24.380 Yeah.
00:32:24.620 Yeah.
00:32:24.740 You can't even hold a door open for that.
00:32:25.960 Yeah.
00:32:26.300 I mean, and imagine if they really believe that.
00:32:28.320 It's like the guy who shot up the, who brought a shotgun to the pizza gate place.
00:32:31.600 Yeah.
00:32:31.880 Right.
00:32:32.120 Like he really thought he was trying to free kids.
00:32:34.560 Yeah.
00:32:34.880 Right.
00:32:35.140 Like you're doing the right thing morally.
00:32:37.080 Yeah.
00:32:37.520 You were just misinformed.
00:32:38.520 Yeah.
00:32:38.660 The premise might've been a little skew.
00:32:40.820 Yeah.
00:32:40.880 And when they told everybody, this guy's a racist and trying to get Hitler elected, they're kind
00:32:44.840 of doing the right thing.
00:32:45.840 If I had to be compassionate.
00:32:47.120 Yeah.
00:32:47.640 They're like, oh yeah, that's bad.
00:32:49.080 Yeah.
00:32:49.240 They're like the guy who shot up the pizza gate place.
00:32:51.100 Yeah.
00:32:51.320 That's exactly it.
00:32:52.200 Yeah.
00:32:53.020 That's a compliment, I think.
00:32:54.500 Yeah.
00:32:55.080 I don't know.
00:32:55.600 People who shoot up abortion clinics do.
00:32:57.020 They really think it's murder.
00:32:58.060 So it's like, I get it.
00:32:59.180 Yeah.
00:32:59.540 But don't.
00:33:00.600 Yeah, you may.
00:33:01.500 I want to, yeah, here we go.
00:33:02.920 I got you some olives to snack on.
00:33:05.040 Ooh, snacking olives?
00:33:06.140 Brody.
00:33:06.680 Are those luchies?
00:33:07.680 Yeah.
00:33:07.980 Okay.
00:33:09.380 Thank you, sir.
00:33:10.340 This is good stuff.
00:33:11.920 Wow.
00:33:13.520 So I had that.
00:33:14.400 I traveled all over.
00:33:15.100 I was in Ecuador for like six months during the pandemic.
00:33:17.880 My industry was done.
00:33:18.740 Yeah.
00:33:19.300 Why not?
00:33:19.980 Yeah.
00:33:20.520 Gathering was over.
00:33:22.200 And Padrones is huge in South America.
00:33:24.760 Are they really?
00:33:25.480 Yeah.
00:33:25.800 Named after the Godfather.
00:33:27.000 A lot of Italians, you know, made it that way after a certain global conflict.
00:33:31.720 Down to Argentina and those areas.
00:33:34.680 Oh, wow.
00:33:35.320 Oh, maybe.
00:33:36.140 That might be it.
00:33:37.140 Okay.
00:33:37.540 Europe.
00:33:37.880 I'm feeling the tension now.
00:33:42.340 Now I'm going to play the game.
00:33:46.060 This network is great.
00:33:47.540 Was this a tad transphobic?
00:33:49.360 Play it.
00:33:49.740 If it is false, and for the good of society, and especially for the good of the poor people
00:33:55.520 who have fallen prey to this confusion, transgenderism must be eradicated from public
00:34:01.940 life entirely.
00:34:03.700 The whole preposterous ideology.
00:34:06.020 He's a handsome guy.
00:34:06.960 At every level.
00:34:10.300 Transphobism should be a trans...
00:34:11.840 Trans...
00:34:12.520 Transgenderism.
00:34:13.480 Transgenderism should be eradicated.
00:34:15.500 Transgenderism.
00:34:16.240 Was this word tad?
00:34:19.280 Was it a tad?
00:34:20.120 Tad.
00:34:20.620 Was this a tad transphobic?
00:34:22.340 Okay, I'm going to...
00:34:22.880 And I'll put my answer...
00:34:23.900 A tad.
00:34:24.160 A tad.
00:34:25.100 A tad.
00:34:25.740 I know it was you, so you want to be like, not at all.
00:34:27.680 But was it a tad transphobic?
00:34:29.700 Okay, I've got my answer, dude.
00:34:31.220 It's got to be yes.
00:34:32.320 It's got to be a tad...
00:34:33.280 A minimum a tad.
00:34:34.700 Not even a smidgen.
00:34:36.040 I knew you wouldn't have asked that way.
00:34:37.780 You wouldn't even get a tad?
00:34:38.800 Because to be phobic...
00:34:39.980 To be phobic...
00:34:41.520 Yeah.
00:34:41.780 It has to be an irrational fear.
00:34:44.400 But that was a very rational statement.
00:34:45.620 Wait, phobic is irrational?
00:34:47.000 An irrational.
00:34:47.720 Like arachnophobia is the irrational fear of spiders.
00:34:50.980 So you say...
00:34:51.320 It's just a fear of spiders.
00:34:52.700 I believe it has to be irrational.
00:34:54.540 Like, I can't be lion-eat-my-face phobic.
00:34:57.900 Because a lion might eat my face, you know?
00:34:59.940 I think it's got to be an irrational...
00:35:01.100 What can you be phobic of?
00:35:02.440 It can be phobic.
00:35:03.220 Well, I have spiders.
00:35:04.780 So what would that be?
00:35:06.740 Phobic of, like, dangerous spiders.
00:35:08.780 That would be...
00:35:09.940 Yeah, I don't...
00:35:10.920 It'd be reasonable, I guess.
00:35:13.340 Common sense.
00:35:14.500 Okay.
00:35:14.940 So I think...
00:35:15.680 Get me on the phobic.
00:35:16.620 Because...
00:35:16.940 Get me on the phobic.
00:35:17.480 Yeah, right.
00:35:18.100 I say it's got to be reasonable.
00:35:19.120 But it's definitely not...
00:35:20.480 It's not pro-
00:35:21.700 Phobic is not a fear of gays.
00:35:23.460 It's a rational fear of gays.
00:35:24.740 Now, I have a very rational fear of gays.
00:35:27.260 Like, that they might, you know, make my style better or, you know...
00:35:30.740 Yeah, like, decorate my neighborhood.
00:35:32.240 You're a good style.
00:35:32.760 Thank you.
00:35:33.320 Well, you saw the video earlier.
00:35:35.060 Damn.
00:35:35.360 So, yeah.
00:35:35.940 I should have known how you were going to...
00:35:37.280 Yes.
00:35:37.700 There was no way you would have said that was wrong.
00:35:40.580 Okay.
00:35:41.420 You're up.
00:35:42.280 Phobic is irrational.
00:35:44.600 Is that true?
00:35:45.140 Can we look that up?
00:35:45.880 Yeah.
00:35:46.560 I want to recount on this.
00:35:48.820 This is a rapid fire round.
00:35:50.300 I will read three questions, one after the other.
00:35:53.180 You will have 30 seconds to answer all three.
00:35:56.920 The clock starts now.
00:36:00.320 Are some religions better than others?
00:36:04.220 Yes.
00:36:05.340 Yeah.
00:36:06.340 Do ghosts or other supernatural entities reveal themselves at cemeteries?
00:36:12.420 Yes, sometimes.
00:36:14.380 No.
00:36:15.180 All right.
00:36:15.680 Whatever.
00:36:16.000 That's fine.
00:36:16.520 For RFK Jr. to make America healthy again, he needs fat shaming to come back.
00:36:23.200 To make America...
00:36:24.840 Does he need that in order to make America healthy again?
00:36:27.880 You know, obviously he does.
00:36:29.120 That's obviously he does.
00:36:30.520 Obviously.
00:36:31.000 He can do it another way, too.
00:36:32.540 How could he do it?
00:36:32.900 It would help.
00:36:33.400 It would help.
00:36:33.860 He could, yeah.
00:36:35.340 Wow.
00:36:35.920 All right.
00:36:36.520 This godfather.
00:36:37.800 He can do it other ways.
00:36:41.280 Rapid fire.
00:36:43.680 Boy, buddy.
00:36:45.040 Please don't put me in trouble.
00:36:49.460 Is Louis C.K. overrated?
00:36:55.080 No, he's not.
00:36:55.880 No, he's not.
00:36:56.460 He's not overrated.
00:36:56.980 It's all right.
00:36:57.360 Wow, it's all right.
00:36:57.980 It's fast.
00:36:58.540 Do you think Diddy killed Tupac?
00:37:04.940 No.
00:37:05.600 It's more than likely, yes.
00:37:06.620 Yeah, probably.
00:37:07.420 I thought he had him killed.
00:37:08.740 I don't think he did it himself.
00:37:09.420 Yes.
00:37:10.300 Republicans should forgive Bud Light.
00:37:16.540 No.
00:37:17.200 Transizer Bush needs to be made an example.
00:37:19.060 I should just...
00:37:19.920 I should not.
00:37:22.160 I'm answering my own answers.
00:37:23.280 Oh, mm.
00:37:23.840 All right.
00:37:24.340 Wait, so hold it.
00:37:24.820 I need a napkin.
00:37:25.540 I'm sorry.
00:37:26.160 One down one.
00:37:27.060 Look at this disaster.
00:37:28.660 Well, because how are you supposed to move fast with a martini glass?
00:37:31.140 I'm so glad.
00:37:31.500 It's the least functional glass in the world.
00:37:33.080 Yeah, you got a good one.
00:37:33.960 That was so great for the back half of the game.
00:37:36.660 Wow.
00:37:36.860 Yeah.
00:37:37.540 Final question.
00:37:38.280 Both answer.
00:37:39.060 Mm-hmm.
00:37:44.620 Went on to rush, right?
00:37:45.920 Went on to rush.
00:37:46.440 Okay.
00:37:46.680 Do you think President Trump will make it to the end of his term?
00:37:50.660 Mm-hmm.
00:37:51.820 I mean, this asks a lot of questions.
00:37:54.460 One, about the state of health care for elderly people in the United States.
00:37:59.280 Mm-hmm.
00:37:59.460 Also, what happened to American marksmanship has been on the downturn.
00:38:04.040 Mm-hmm.
00:38:04.300 So that's another extenuating circumstance.
00:38:06.240 And Iranian marksmanship.
00:38:07.520 Yeah.
00:38:07.980 And access to golf courses seem pretty easy.
00:38:10.880 Yeah, yeah.
00:38:11.220 Maybe they should have more security on those.
00:38:13.800 So you think, or will he just be like, actually, this sucks.
00:38:16.180 You guys suck.
00:38:16.800 I'm out.
00:38:18.180 Also possible.
00:38:19.120 At the inauguration, I could have easily said, I'm going, nope, not doing it.
00:38:21.940 Fight it out.
00:38:22.280 I'm done.
00:38:23.020 Just want to see if I'm going to win.
00:38:23.960 Give me that pension.
00:38:24.780 Yeah.
00:38:26.540 So, Will, do I think you think, and do you think I think, that President Trump will make
00:38:31.320 it to the end of his term?
00:38:40.020 What does the Daily Wire think?
00:38:43.060 And specifically me.
00:38:44.160 And specifically me.
00:38:44.640 Yeah.
00:38:45.200 There might be different opinions of the Daily Wire.
00:38:46.820 You're Italian.
00:38:47.620 I'm Italian.
00:38:48.360 Can I ask a second true or false question?
00:38:50.980 You may.
00:38:51.800 For not points?
00:38:52.620 Yep.
00:38:54.620 Are you ready to tell the American public that your original name was Cannolis?
00:38:59.120 It was anglicized at Ellis Island.
00:39:02.260 It was initially Michael Chocolate Sprinkle Cannolis.
00:39:05.280 Yeah.
00:39:05.820 And you just changed the spelling.
00:39:07.460 I did.
00:39:07.960 I did.
00:39:08.800 I did.
00:39:09.200 But it is cannoli.
00:39:10.220 If you look in the old parish register in Sicily, it's Chocolate Sprinkle Cannolis.
00:39:14.500 Okay.
00:39:15.120 K-apostrophe-N-O-W-L-E-S.
00:39:20.020 Cannolis.
00:39:20.460 Cannolis.
00:39:21.220 Yeah.
00:39:21.580 Okay.
00:39:22.220 So will Donald Trump make it to the end of his term?
00:39:25.260 What do we think that you'll say?
00:39:27.160 And what do I think that you'll say?
00:39:28.720 You got your answer.
00:39:29.440 All right.
00:39:29.740 Yeah.
00:39:31.880 Wait, wait, wait.
00:39:32.420 This is for game.
00:39:33.540 This is for the game.
00:39:34.100 This is for game.
00:39:34.580 Do I think you think Donald Trump will make it to the end of his term?
00:39:40.240 I mean, they're coming after him hard.
00:39:42.760 Got an extra game left.
00:39:43.780 You think that guy, he's dead now, right?
00:39:49.640 But do you think that guy is like in heaven or whatever and hell?
00:39:52.240 Which one?
00:39:52.740 Jimmy Carter?
00:39:53.200 The first one.
00:39:54.300 That guy got his ear.
00:39:55.120 Biden?
00:39:55.680 Oh, that guy.
00:39:56.680 Yeah, that guy.
00:39:57.380 He's like, oh, wait, I made him, I got him votes?
00:40:00.140 Yeah.
00:40:02.460 And that might be the-
00:40:03.500 Oh, I'm dead and I got him votes.
00:40:04.520 Yeah.
00:40:05.220 The most meritorious thing that guy ever did.
00:40:09.140 Okay.
00:40:11.100 I think you're going to say yes.
00:40:12.340 We're both right.
00:40:12.880 Okay.
00:40:13.720 Wait.
00:40:15.680 Don't we tie?
00:40:17.140 It's a tie.
00:40:17.940 It's a tie at zero.
00:40:19.740 It's a tie at zero.
00:40:20.900 This is-
00:40:21.200 Which is really what politics is all about.
00:40:23.160 When you don't get anywhere ahead by engulfing yourself in this negative-
00:40:28.000 Yeah.
00:40:28.600 You're all tied at zero.
00:40:30.200 Both right and left.
00:40:31.480 Go outside.
00:40:32.800 Talk to your friends.
00:40:34.040 Call your mom.
00:40:35.020 Do something of merit.
00:40:36.120 Yeah.
00:40:36.280 Certain roses smell well.
00:40:38.060 Other roses smell terrible.
00:40:39.640 Yeah.
00:40:40.320 What roses smell terrible?
00:40:41.700 Well, none of them smell terrible.
00:40:43.460 Yeah.
00:40:44.300 This is such a good metaphor for politics.
00:40:48.320 Yeah.
00:40:48.820 We've been here for like an hour.
00:40:49.920 Everyone loses.
00:40:50.520 Yeah.
00:40:50.740 Nothing has been accomplished.
00:40:51.980 Nothing was accomplished.
00:40:53.040 Nothing happened.
00:40:54.300 I know somebody that was setting up a provisional government in Afghanistan in the army.
00:40:58.080 Yeah.
00:40:58.400 It's about a year.
00:40:59.300 It was there, stationed there for one year.
00:41:01.060 Yeah.
00:41:01.240 And they had to negotiate on what's the percentage of Shiites, percentage of Sunnis, or percentage
