00:00:35.720 Good Ranchers, American meat delivered.
00:00:37.700 Do people who spend 10 years in the friend zone deserve to be there?
00:00:42.760 Ouch.
00:00:43.860 This is a brutal question.
00:00:45.760 This is terrible.
00:00:48.040 I need to take a drink before we talk about this.
00:00:56.980 Welcome back.
00:01:05.440 Welcome back to Yes or No, the bibulous battle to discover who knows whom better.
00:01:11.740 My guest today is Professor Jacob.
00:01:16.260 How do we play?
00:01:17.280 I'll ask the professor a yes or no question.
00:01:19.360 He will select his answer away from my prying eyes.
00:01:22.320 Then I'll guess how he answered.
00:01:23.960 If I guess correctly, I get a point.
00:01:26.760 If I guess incorrectly, I lose a point.
00:01:30.100 No matter what, I will probably drink.
00:01:32.800 Then it's the professor's turn.
00:01:34.920 Neither of us has seen the questions beforehand.
00:01:37.580 Whoever has the most points at the end wins.
00:01:40.300 And the stakes could be higher.
00:01:43.520 Let's get started.
00:01:45.100 I have a wager for you.
00:01:47.100 Okay.
00:01:49.060 First of all, professor, I'm really glad that they allow underage drinking on this show now.
00:01:53.300 That's really great that they are 12 years old.
00:01:56.160 That's outrageous.
00:01:57.240 I'm very pleased that you're here.
00:01:59.080 The audience, I think, mostly knows Professor Jacob.
00:02:02.080 For those who have not followed the lore and the legend, Professor Jacob is my child laborer on the show and my associate producer.
00:02:10.820 So here's a wager.
00:02:13.500 If I win, that means you lose.
00:02:16.600 That's true.
00:02:17.100 And if you lose, I want a Michael Knowles modification to your beloved Camaro.
00:02:24.780 Okay.
00:02:25.500 Done.
00:02:26.160 Done?
00:02:26.660 Done deal.
00:02:27.220 Okay.
00:02:27.720 But my wager, you've got to pop a 15-milli lip pill.
00:02:31.240 Oh, kid.
00:02:31.920 Don't.
00:02:32.160 I've got an old man heart.
00:02:33.600 I'm not young and vibrant like you.
00:02:35.340 You put me on them and I surpassed you.
00:02:37.700 I did put them on them.
00:02:38.320 You've got to get on my level now.
00:02:39.960 15?
00:02:40.480 That's like a pack of cigarettes at once.
00:02:42.260 Might be two, but that's my wager.
00:02:43.480 All right.
00:02:43.700 Whatever.
00:02:43.940 I'm so good at the game.
00:02:44.780 It'll be fine.
00:02:45.200 No big deal.
00:02:45.700 All right.
00:02:46.100 Okay.
00:02:48.140 Man, I really hate that idea.
00:02:50.540 You ready?
00:02:51.220 I'm ready.
00:02:51.780 So the rules, if you were a woman, I'd say you go first, but you're not. 1.00
00:02:55.260 I'm not.
00:02:55.800 You're a man.
00:02:56.300 Are you going to be a man someday?
00:02:57.340 When is your bar mitzvah?
00:02:58.500 It was like a few months ago.
00:03:00.340 A few months ago.
00:03:01.700 Okay.
00:03:02.100 All right.
00:03:03.020 Are you ready?
00:03:03.580 I'm ready.
00:03:05.720 Being a Jew.
00:03:06.780 Well, that was a nice lead in.
00:03:08.360 You see that?
00:03:09.340 Thank you, producers.
00:03:10.360 That's talent.
00:03:11.420 Wow.
00:03:12.040 Being a Jew at the Daily Wire is a double-edged sword because although you will constantly 0.76
00:03:16.620 be made fun of, you know you can never be fired.
00:03:20.620 Obviously, because we get it.
00:03:21.700 We work for Mossad.
00:03:22.840 Very true.
00:03:23.240 Okay.
00:03:23.500 Okay.
00:03:35.340 This is a lot harder than...
00:03:50.640 I got it wrong.
00:03:51.900 Ah!
00:03:52.620 Yes.
00:03:53.860 My thought was this.
00:03:55.900 You could be fired.
00:03:57.060 First of all, it was horribly phrased.
00:03:58.580 Being a Jew at the Daily Wire is a double-edged sword as technically the thing we're having
00:04:01.480 a referendum on, but it's obviously could you be fired or not.
00:04:03.380 But these were written by semi-literate people, so that's fine.
00:04:09.500 You could be fired because you work for me and I like you somewhat.
00:04:16.080 And Ben does not like things that I like.
00:04:20.940 So Ben, owning more of the company, could fire you.
00:04:25.920 Yeah, but I think the question isn't...
00:04:28.480 It would be, does Ben hate things that you like more than he likes me?
00:04:32.580 And I think Ben likes me, and I don't think he would let me get fired.
00:04:35.260 Ben has no idea that you work for this company.
00:04:37.160 Not one time has he been made aware of your existence.
00:04:40.940 He has specifically talked about me being the only other Jew at the company, so I think
00:04:44.860 that's...
00:04:45.860 I know, it is true.
00:04:47.180 They say that there are all these Jews around Daily Wire.
00:04:49.860 I am with half the Jews at the Daily Wire right now. 0.97
00:04:52.420 Half the Jews, it's insane. 1.00
00:04:53.480 So I have to drink? 0.99
00:04:54.460 You do have to drink.
00:04:55.220 And I might have to do a 15-milli lip-peeling and have my entire heart explode.
00:04:58.420 It's not looking good for you.
00:04:59.300 Uh-uh.
00:05:02.540 Okay, you're up.
00:05:08.460 Is it wise to trust spiritual advice from a man who is so out of shape that he gets winded
00:05:14.700 blessing his food?
00:05:15.920 Oh, man.
00:05:20.020 And you have to guess how I would answer.
00:05:22.180 I would have to guess.
00:05:23.080 Is it wise to take spiritual advice from a man who gets winded blessing his food?
00:05:29.000 It is wise.
00:05:39.200 You knew that.
00:05:40.020 I just...
00:05:40.760 I mean, you don't...
00:05:42.100 You wouldn't have a podcast if you thought...
00:05:44.100 If you thought that was the rule.
00:05:46.460 Wow.
00:05:46.840 I'm just...
00:05:47.320 Or maybe I would.
00:05:48.040 I don't ever weigh in on the wisdom of listening to my show.
00:05:51.680 I just do my show.
00:05:52.780 I think you've told people it's wise to listen to your show before.
00:05:54.640 All right, maybe I have.
00:05:55.400 Maybe I have.
00:05:56.100 I think...
00:05:56.760 Do I get winded blessing my food?
00:05:59.680 First of all, Latin is a very complicated language, and some of the words are very long.
00:06:06.600 Wouldn't it be a fat person who would get winded, not a skinny person?
00:06:09.440 Sometimes people call us skinny fat because we look nice and thin and hot and sexy, but
00:06:14.600 we don't actually go to the gym or anything like that.
00:06:17.160 But I don't know.
00:06:17.620 I think I'm in great shape.
00:06:18.760 We'll find out if I have to pop that 15 millilipoli.
00:06:21.020 That's true.
00:06:21.580 So I have to...
00:06:22.240 I get to drink.
00:06:23.180 Mm-hmm.
00:06:30.420 Before this prompt is read, take a look at this video.
00:06:33.700 Okay.
00:06:44.600 It ends on that frame.
00:07:10.020 That's great.
00:07:11.700 So all of those cars, they look kind of similar, so they're different cars, but they all have
00:07:17.620 belonged to you.
00:07:18.600 Correct.
00:07:19.400 All five of them.
00:07:20.240 You smashed them all up real good.
00:07:22.580 Not entirely true.
00:07:24.200 In another one of those videos, a friend of mine was the one behind the...
00:07:27.940 Smashing it up real good.
00:07:28.920 Yeah.
00:07:29.160 Okay.
00:07:29.880 Of all these moments caught on camera, the last image is the most concerning.
00:07:36.540 Hmm.
00:07:38.640 Interesting.
00:07:40.020 You had your girlfriend's name stitched in pink on the headrest in your car.
00:07:48.800 Mm-hmm.
00:07:52.300 And you've got to be truthful in your answers.
00:07:55.460 You've got to be truthful in your answers.
00:07:59.180 You clicked it?
00:08:00.260 I clicked it.
00:08:02.240 How truthful are you going to be with me and with yourself?
00:08:05.380 Michael, I'm a nice Jewish boy.
00:08:06.680 I am not going to lie to you.
00:08:07.720 That's not what I do.
00:08:08.880 Yeah.
00:08:10.020 You wrongly said no.
00:08:16.460 Yeah.
00:08:17.020 But wrongly you said that.
00:08:18.580 I mean, listen, I'm a guy in love.
00:08:22.500 I put her name on the headrest.
00:08:23.640 I don't see how that's worse than me almost dying five times.
00:08:27.220 I think that's a little worse than having a girlfriend.
00:08:29.720 We all die.
00:08:31.100 We all die.
00:08:31.120 Some of us never live, Jacob.
00:08:34.440 Are you, are you, you're going to, you stitched your girlfriend's name in pink on your cool
00:08:41.660 headrest in your Camaro.
00:08:45.440 I want to say a phrase that I know you hate so much.
00:08:48.640 What's the phrase?
00:08:50.360 Happy wife, happy life.
00:08:54.740 Oh.
00:08:56.100 Listen, she liked it.
00:08:57.820 She liked it.
00:08:58.460 And because she liked it, I like it.
00:08:59.600 I'm, I'm probably going to vomit from the 15 milligrams in that you're going to make me do.
00:09:03.520 But first I'll have the privilege of vomiting from that nauseating phrase.
00:09:07.960 I hear it all the time.
00:09:09.300 Happy wife, happy life.
00:09:10.920 Which is true.
00:09:12.140 You will have a happy life if your wife is happy.
00:09:14.900 But you don't make your wife happy by simping in this egregious and nauseating way.
00:09:22.140 That won't, that's, that's what modern liberalism tells you to do.
00:09:25.520 You know, do women, do women want a guy who says, oh, hey, honey, I switched your name 0.90
00:09:31.320 on my, or does a woman want Gary Cooper or Sean Connery, you know, or like.
00:09:36.620 That's not exactly how it went.
00:09:38.160 I mean, think back to World War II.
00:09:40.240 Well, she's not your wife. 1.00
00:09:41.240 Hold on, before you, she's not your wife. 1.00
00:09:43.260 She's your girlfriend, your wife. 0.99
00:09:45.120 You still shouldn't do it, but it's your girlfriend.
00:09:47.600 A man can be optimistic.
00:09:48.800 Wow.
00:09:50.680 Do I get to drink for that one?
00:09:52.580 You get to, yeah.
00:09:53.520 I'm going to drink for that one.
00:09:55.520 I haven't even drank it.
00:09:56.640 I'm going to drink anyway.
00:09:57.920 I'm not bragging.
00:09:58.920 I guess I am bragging.
00:10:00.820 I'm a great father.
00:10:02.540 You know why I'm a great father?
00:10:03.720 You want to know the sign of this?
00:10:05.300 Not only did I get a Helix mattress for my eldest son when he switched from a crib to a bed,
00:10:10.640 I just got one for my middle son too.
00:10:14.340 It just arrived.
00:10:16.620 My middle son's Helix mattress.
00:10:19.520 He is going to be so excited.
00:10:20.360 He's still in the crib.
00:10:21.200 He barely knows what to expect.
00:10:22.320 He's been on his brother's bed, so he knows it's nice and comfy.
00:10:24.760 He says, oh, Dada, I want to sleep here.
00:10:26.180 I want to sleep here.
00:10:26.620 I said, too bad.
00:10:27.140 Get in your crib. 0.79
00:10:27.760 But now he'll get his Helix.
00:10:29.760 And you should have your Helix too.
00:10:31.200 I've had my Helix for like five years or something now.
00:10:33.460 It's absolutely magnificent.
00:10:34.960 They don't just sell you a random mattress.
00:10:36.340 They match you with the perfect mattress for your body and for your sleep style.
00:10:40.660 Whether you're a side sleep or a back sleep or somewhere in between, they've got you covered.
00:10:44.280 All you have to do is take their sleep quiz.
00:10:45.940 You'll find your ideal match.
00:10:47.960 When you find the right match, you're going to wonder how you ever slept on anything else.
00:10:51.460 For those of you who sleep hot, the temperature regulation is a game changer, especially as
00:10:55.320 we head into summer.
00:10:56.440 Right now is the perfect time to upgrade your sleep because Helix is offering a marvelous

00:11:19.500 All right.
00:11:24.720 Okay, now we have a video to play first.
00:11:41.840 The question that goes along with this video, this only happens in a video game, right?
00:11:47.860 Wow.
00:11:48.500 Wow.
00:11:48.800 Is that a...
00:11:49.700 That is deep.
00:11:50.620 That is a...
00:11:51.360 We're going to get...
00:11:51.680 Hold on.
00:11:52.320 Is the man who wrote these prompts, not me, producer Ben Davies wrote these prompts,
00:11:58.500 is he making a controlled demolition illusion?
00:12:03.240 I think he's been spending too much time on X.
00:12:05.420 Wow.
00:12:05.820 That's what I think Mr. Davies is...
00:12:07.140 He's been spending too much time on the anti-Semitic portion of X, also known as X.
00:12:19.700 What do...
00:12:20.700 So is the question, would the boys do that, or is the question, was 9-11 a controlled demolition?
00:12:28.240 I think the latter is the question they're trying to ask here.
00:12:30.660 Okay.
00:12:30.920 Okay.
00:12:37.380 You locked it in?
00:12:39.040 It's locked in.
00:12:39.840 I got it correct.
00:12:45.160 You got it correct.
00:12:45.680 Let's go.
00:12:45.960 I know this is going to lose me internet points because all of YouTube is going to say it's
00:12:49.860 an inside job or whatever.
00:12:52.000 I just don't see it.
00:12:53.060 I don't buy it.
00:12:53.780 I've gone down so many of the rabbit holes.
00:12:56.140 I was skeptical of the theories at first because it was promoted by people who made themselves 1.00
00:13:01.860 sound like absolute idiots with that phrase, jet fuel doesn't melt steel beams. 0.99
00:13:08.160 The buildings didn't melt. 1.00
00:13:09.500 No one's saying they melted.
00:13:10.560 Why would anyone...
00:13:11.140 It didn't liquefy or anything.
00:13:12.460 So I just...
00:13:13.100 From the start, I said, these are not people dealing with a full deck of cards.
00:13:17.540 But there are all sorts of questions.
00:13:19.440 Well, I mean...
00:13:19.980 Like, how'd they find the guys...
00:13:21.100 The passport of the guy?
00:13:22.440 Remember one of the hijackers?
00:13:23.660 They said they found his passport on the sidewalk.
00:13:25.640 Is that confirmed?
00:13:25.980 I thought it was.
00:13:26.800 I feel like that's...
00:13:27.200 So that's a weird one, you know?
00:13:28.440 I'm not saying there aren't...
00:13:30.440 Any major geopolitical event, Pearl Harbor, for instance, there were all sorts of questions
00:13:36.360 and all kinds of intel reports and all kinds of...
00:13:38.040 Why didn't you know?
00:13:38.700 But the idea that they just rigged the thing with explosives and the planes were just, like,
00:13:45.400 theatrics or something, shoot me.
00:13:49.720 I don't buy it.
00:13:50.580 Sorry.
00:13:51.140 I know that's unpopular now.
00:13:52.600 I don't buy it.
00:13:53.180 They also have to ask the question, why did Al-Qaeda claim responsibility and have been
00:13:56.760 doing it consistently so for 24 years?
00:13:58.820 Like, that's my biggest thing.
00:13:59.780 Because they were hypnotized...
00:14:03.160 They were hypnotized.
00:14:03.780 ...by George Bush and Colin Powell and, just judging by Twitter, a certain ancient nomadic
00:14:11.140 tribe, I think, convinced them to be Muslim and to claim responsibility. 0.97
00:14:16.520 It's true.
00:14:17.340 It's true.
00:14:17.700 I wish...
00:14:18.700 I wish...
00:14:19.080 I should have just said I believe in the theories just to get my point back.
00:14:26.260 Do people who spend 10 years in the friend zone deserve to be there?
00:14:31.780 Ouch.
00:14:32.220 This is your answer.
00:14:38.280 Do people who spend 10 years in the friend zone deserve to be there?
00:14:41.600 This is a brutal question.
00:14:43.200 This is terrible.
00:14:45.600 Oh, man.
00:14:46.560 Do people who spend 10 years in the friend zone deserve to be there?
00:14:49.760 I need to take a drink before we talk about this.
00:14:58.940 Yeah.
00:14:59.120 If you say yes, that's kind of a chivalrous, like I should have tried harder to pick up
00:15:09.600 my chickie.
00:15:11.100 If you say no, it's kind of like you just didn't see what a giga cool Chad Sigma guy I am.
00:15:17.700 So which one do you think I'm...
00:15:18.840 Yeah, that's the question.
00:15:19.700 Yeah, you...
00:15:21.700 You're mogging pretty hard.
00:15:25.900 You're staring at a giga Chad.
00:15:26.940 Yeah, yeah, okay.
00:15:28.920 But hold on, you want me to push no.
00:15:30.960 No, I want you to give me like some honor and respect in this answer.
00:15:33.920 Come on.
00:15:34.940 Ah!
00:15:36.400 Oh, this 15 milli is going to be brutal.
00:15:38.240 That's awful, dude.
00:15:39.400 Oh, dude.
00:15:40.140 Dude, I don't exercise.
00:15:42.220 Yeah.
00:15:42.800 You could be taking years off my life.
00:15:44.380 You say no.
00:15:44.940 So you say...
00:15:45.440 No, I'm sorry.
00:15:45.880 You say that you did deserve to be in there.
00:15:47.940 I'm sorry.
00:15:48.300 That hypothetically someone would deserve to be in the friend zone if you were there for
00:15:53.180 10 years.
00:15:53.820 There might be a girl in the audience that put your boy in the friend zone for 10 years,
00:15:58.760 but it worked out.
00:15:59.720 It worked out.
00:16:00.240 It worked out.
00:16:00.920 I'm going to call her out.
00:16:01.860 My reasoning for this is looking back, right, girls don't put guys in the friend zone that 1.00
00:16:10.480 like...
00:16:11.820 That...
00:16:12.300 I'm going to give you my personal anecdote here.
00:16:15.660 I wasn't forward.
00:16:16.520 I intentionally tried to become her friend as a way to try and romantically...
00:16:23.240 It happens.
00:16:23.540 It happens.
00:16:23.920 I was 16.
00:16:24.800 That's what happens, you know. 0.94
00:16:25.980 You thought, I'll pretend to be gay and that'll turn her on. 1.00
00:16:29.020 Yeah. 0.96
00:16:30.160 That's the way I...
00:16:30.960 That's my in.
00:16:31.660 So bad.
00:16:32.280 But actually, it wasn't the friend zone.
00:16:33.620 It turned into the brother zone.
00:16:35.300 I got called her brother.
00:16:37.380 Terrible.
00:16:37.780 So now you're accusing her of defective incest. 0.98
00:16:41.160 That's what I'm saying.
00:16:42.140 It was bad.
00:16:42.860 It went really...
00:16:43.440 It went far.
00:16:44.800 But...
00:16:45.200 But...
00:16:45.800 So what would you do?
00:16:46.460 What about the young guys who are watching this show right now who might be in a similar
00:16:50.460 position to you?
00:16:51.500 You know, they're 15, 16 years old.
00:16:53.980 They got the hots for some girl. 0.97
00:16:55.640 They're all...
00:16:56.400 How do they avoid the mistakes that you made?
00:17:01.840 Oh, man.
00:17:02.840 I would tell them...
00:17:03.880 I would tell them, number one, if a girl rejects you, do not say, okay, you want to
00:17:09.300 be best friends?
00:17:09.880 I wouldn't say that.
00:17:10.720 That's terrible.
00:17:11.920 I wouldn't do that.
00:17:12.380 You didn't do that.
00:17:13.180 I...
00:17:13.580 You didn't.
00:17:14.200 I didn't just say it like that, but I got really close and then, you know.
00:17:18.500 So you were forward.
00:17:20.160 You said, hey, honey, you want to go to the sock hop this Friday or whatever?
00:17:23.100 I expressed interest and it did not.
00:17:25.640 And she said, no, I want to go chill with GigaChad.
00:17:29.400 That is basically what happened.
00:17:30.740 And then you were like, okay, let's keep chatting then.
00:17:34.300 Basically.
00:17:34.840 Wow.
00:17:35.280 My advice is be forward.
00:17:37.380 If it doesn't work out, step back a little bit.
00:17:40.060 Yeah.
00:17:40.520 Go make somebody out of yourself. 0.81
00:17:42.000 Yeah.
00:17:42.480 And then try again.
00:17:44.220 And that's what I did.
00:17:44.920 Wow.
00:17:45.700 And it worked out.
00:17:46.120 Become a TikTok star.
00:17:47.360 Become a TikTok star.
00:17:48.460 Work for the future president of the United States, Michael Knowles.
00:17:51.320 Come on.
00:17:51.760 You're going to make me blush, except I'm too tan right now, so it covers it up.
00:17:54.340 And then final step is get on yes or no with him, and then you'll release it.
00:17:56.700 That's it.
00:17:57.020 And that will truly end your relationship in that moment.
00:18:00.980 Okay.
00:18:02.520 Would it be unchivalrous to tell the audience which one is your girlfriend?
00:18:08.960 She's going to get mad at me, but no.
00:18:10.200 Would it be unchivalrous if I...
00:18:12.380 I don't think it would be unchivalrous.
00:18:14.220 Give her the spotlight.
00:18:15.080 She deserves it.
00:18:15.600 All right.
00:18:16.260 Justin, do you want to say...
00:18:17.540 Of headrest fame, we have destiny right over there.
00:18:25.080 Wow.
00:18:28.740 I made it out.
00:18:29.920 Was that good advice?
00:18:31.240 It was really good advice.
00:18:32.280 Yeah.
00:18:33.060 Boom.
00:18:34.040 Okay.
00:18:34.500 I told you.
00:18:34.960 You're right.
00:18:35.540 It worked.
00:18:36.380 It worked in the long run.
00:18:37.640 The arc of history is long, but it bends toward justice.
00:18:39.700 Exactly.
00:18:40.060 It bends toward destiny, some would say.
00:18:41.640 Wow.
00:18:44.960 Here we go.
00:18:46.460 Should Judaism have its own pope called the Rabbi Maximus who lives in the Oivetican? 0.99
00:18:57.800 And instead of the mitre or the saturno, it's like a big strimal.
00:19:02.940 Like a big white strimal.
00:19:04.480 Wow.
00:19:05.920 What do I think?
00:19:08.660 I love a good pun.
00:19:10.600 You love a good pun?
00:19:11.280 I love a good pun.
00:19:12.460 Okay.
00:19:12.960 What are we thinking here?
00:19:20.420 Okay.
00:19:27.920 You love a good pun, but you love reverse psychology.
00:19:30.160 And you doubled down on that I love a good pun way too much.
00:19:33.460 You forget, I work with you every day.
00:19:35.160 You can't.
00:19:36.200 You walked in here, you were like, oh, I'm not taking that.
00:19:38.280 Do you think the Jews should have a pope? 1.00
00:19:39.880 No, I don't.
00:19:40.460 Why not?
00:19:41.300 Because the...
00:19:41.980 Because they already have one?
00:19:44.800 Wow.
00:19:45.380 We're just waiting for you to swim the time?
00:19:47.440 Unfortunately not, no.
00:19:49.840 In the Old Testament, Moses outlines 70 elders that get to give advice to the people of Israel.
00:19:59.080 And that really spread out through the rabbis and everything like that.
00:20:02.460 But there is no, besides the Messiah, there is no definitive singular figure who...
00:20:08.840 What about the kings?
00:20:10.640 Like in the old days, like King David or something?
00:20:12.320 There were kings.
00:20:12.920 But you look at King Saul, he was opposed by the prophets, and people looked to the prophets.
00:20:15.700 They didn't just look...
00:20:16.380 They didn't look to King Saul as if he was a...
00:20:19.200 If he was, you know...
00:20:20.920 Yeah.
00:20:21.620 Listen to...
00:20:22.080 Sometimes the cardinals have a little contentious relationship with the pope.
00:20:25.780 But okay, all right.
00:20:26.680 No Oye Vedican. 1.00
00:20:27.860 Hey, hold on.
00:20:28.820 Hold on.
00:20:29.300 Before we go any further, you need to go to dailywire.com slash shop so that you can get
00:20:36.360 your copy of the Yes or No Game.
00:20:37.740 You can figure out who knows whom best among your family and friends.
00:20:41.460 You can drink.
00:20:42.160 You don't have to drink.
00:20:43.060 You certainly don't.
00:20:43.380 You could play it totally dry.
00:20:45.460 You will get the cards.
00:20:47.060 You will get a little scoring mechanism.
00:20:49.080 You'll get the game pieces.
00:20:50.400 But Professor Jacob is not yet included.
00:20:54.080 Back to it.
00:20:55.520 All right, Professor.
00:20:56.480 Now it's time for Rapid Fire.
00:21:01.120 It's kind of dramatic.
00:21:03.060 Let's do it.
00:21:04.640 I'm going to read you a series of prompts.
00:21:08.280 You are going to respond back to back to back.
00:21:11.100 30 seconds.
00:21:13.160 Is playing Fortnite as an adult a turnoff to women?
00:21:16.780 You have to be honest.
00:21:20.940 Yes, obviously.
00:21:22.400 Did you stop wearing a yarmulke because you're afraid it'll cause a bald spot?
00:21:26.480 Yes, it obviously will.
00:21:30.440 Do Jews run Hollywood? 0.96
00:21:33.540 You got to be truthful.
00:21:34.580 Obviously they do.
00:21:35.380 These are the easiest questions.
00:21:37.160 These are so obvious.
00:21:38.900 All right.
00:21:39.200 Well, it didn't help me at all because I didn't get any extra points.
00:21:41.540 All right.
00:21:41.800 You're up.
00:21:42.080 We're doing Rapid Fire again.
00:21:51.980 You ready?
00:21:52.680 Yes.
00:21:55.040 Are Zins more addictive than cigars?
00:21:57.140 Is Revenge of the Sith better than Barbie?
00:22:08.520 Would 100 Professor Jacobs win in a fight with a gorilla?
00:22:12.860 100 Professor Jacobs.
00:22:20.820 100 Professor Jacobs.
00:22:22.440 How did you not know that?
00:22:30.400 I said, I'm going to teach you a syllogism.
00:22:34.640 On the show, I said that there's no number of men without weapons who could beat the gorilla.
00:22:41.260 That's the major premise.
00:22:43.040 Minor premise.
00:22:44.040 Professor Jacob is a man.
00:22:46.100 Conclusion.
00:22:46.800 Professor Jacobs, I don't care if there's a million of you, you can't beat the gorilla.
00:22:49.640 I thought you'd have more faith in me, man.
00:22:50.960 I don't.
00:22:51.980 Okay.
00:22:52.600 I do not.
00:22:53.380 It's nothing on you.
00:22:54.800 You do Krav Maga.
00:22:56.020 You do a little jujitsu.
00:22:57.340 The next time that we go traveling and you ask me to be your bodyguard, I'm going to say,
00:23:00.440 I can't handle these people.
00:23:01.160 Sorry, get a gorilla. 0.80
00:23:02.100 Go get the gorilla. 0.99
00:23:03.300 Yeah.
00:23:03.600 All right.
00:23:05.780 All right.
00:23:06.220 Professor, are you aware of the rules in this final round?
00:23:09.440 I am.
00:23:09.800 I don't know that I am, but from memory, these are worth about a bazillion points.
00:23:15.500 This could decide the game.
00:23:17.560 And I'm going to read the prompt.
00:23:19.340 We both answer as we would answer.
00:23:21.780 Then we move the glasses to guess how the other person would answer.
00:23:26.320 And then I'm going to win and my face is going to be on your car.
00:23:31.220 Oh, no.
00:23:32.220 Ready?
00:23:32.820 I'm ready.
00:23:33.380 Okay.
00:23:33.560 Would Operation Downfall, the planned invasion of Japan, which would have been four times
00:23:45.200 larger than any proposed U.S. military operation in history, have been morally better than dropping
00:23:50.860 the atomic bomb?
00:23:56.720 Morally better, meaning less morally dubious.
00:23:59.580 Would it have been less morally suspect, morally better, likely?
00:24:14.380 You're going to lock in your answer?
00:24:16.520 What if I already did?
00:24:17.740 You already locked in your answer.
00:24:18.660 Yes.
00:24:19.780 Okay.
00:24:21.120 I think I have to move your drink.
00:24:29.580 Yeah, probably.
00:24:31.500 I'm not saying it's not exactly a complex issue, but the targeting of civilians is morally
00:24:39.340 sus.
00:24:40.360 I agree.
00:24:41.700 But the thing about that is that civilians will die in any war.
00:24:47.320 Yes.
00:24:47.680 And if you look at it from the eyes of the president at the time, he had to make a decision.
00:24:53.200 The Japanese, who refused to surrender, they're going to lose a certain amount of people in 0.99
00:24:58.480 this war.
00:24:59.140 Yeah.
00:24:59.580 Or I'm going to send my boys, the sons of the citizens of the moms of the dads that 0.95
00:25:04.060 are hard workers in my country, I'm going to send three times that to Japan, and they're
00:25:08.160 going to die just because I don't want to.
00:25:09.720 It's war, Michael.
00:25:10.720 They shouldn't have bombed Pearl Harbor.
00:25:11.940 But we're talking about the moral justifications here.
00:25:13.980 That's my moral justification.
00:25:15.160 Yeah, they shouldn't have bombed Pearl Harbor.
00:25:16.660 But you say, well, the Japanese are going to lose a certain number of people.
00:25:19.680 But people aren't all interchangeable.
00:25:21.120 So there's a difference in war between targeting civilians and targeting combatants.
00:25:25.740 Correct.
00:25:26.380 And this actually is central to just war theory.
00:25:30.440 So with the bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, they were targeting civilians.
00:25:35.500 With a planned invasion, they'd be targeting.
00:25:37.360 Now, the best argument you could make, because I still would like to defend the atomic bomb
00:25:40.160 if I can, would be, you say, well, they were going to fight to the last man.
00:25:44.840 So there's no distinction between civilians and soldiers.
00:25:47.720 It's a little dubious.
00:25:49.040 It's a little morally dubious.
00:25:50.180 And the reasoning that you're taking up is utilitarian reasoning, which is morally not
00:25:55.940 quite right.
00:25:57.040 I don't know.
00:25:57.780 I think you should prioritize Americans before you prioritize people that started a war with
00:26:01.840 your country.
00:26:02.260 Should we, to end a war faster, if you could end a war faster by nuking the entire civilian 1.00
00:26:10.360 population of a country, and it would end the war faster, or you'd have to drag the war
00:26:14.500 out another three months by only fighting armed combatants with proportionality and right
00:26:20.480 intentions and all that, all the rest.
00:26:22.460 Would it be justified to nuke the whole civilian population?
00:26:24.460 If I was the president of the United States and I was faced, I'm going to alter this a little
00:26:28.580 bit to kind of fit the scenario.
00:26:30.380 If I was told that if I dropped that bomb on that area to end the war, the amount of people
00:26:36.720 that would die is a fraction of the amount of my own soldiers that are going to die?
00:26:40.480 That's not the question I asked you.
00:26:41.800 I asked you a more illustrative question.
00:26:44.100 Would you nuke the entire civilian population of a country if it would end the war faster
00:26:48.340 and save many, many lives of your own soldiers?
00:26:50.900 More soldiers than civilians?
00:26:52.760 That's my question.
00:26:53.520 Is it more soldiers?
00:26:54.440 It would save more of your civilians, but you'd have to nuke the entire, it's a small country, 0.99
00:26:59.120 let's say.
00:26:59.600 You'd have to nuke the entire civilian population. 0.91
00:27:01.780 Would you do it?
00:27:02.720 I'm not saying, look, I'm not trying to push this off as it's like something easy, but
00:27:05.740 if I'm going to be the leader of a country.
00:27:07.020 Yeah, it's a yes or no, by the way.
00:27:08.060 It's a yes.
00:27:09.200 It's a yes.
00:27:09.800 Wow.
00:27:10.120 Okay.
00:27:10.560 I would.
00:27:11.200 Got to pull back our Cicero, huh?
00:27:13.880 All right.
00:27:14.080 Yeah.
00:27:18.340 Did I move Michael's glass to yes?
00:27:22.940 No, no.
00:27:23.600 I moved his glass to no.
00:27:25.520 Yes!
00:27:26.440 Wait.
00:27:26.760 Yes!
00:27:27.620 Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:27:28.460 Did I?
00:27:29.320 Was it more money?
00:27:30.300 Let's go!
00:27:32.100 Oh! 0.60
00:27:32.900 Wait, wait, no.
00:27:33.560 I think I did move it to you. 1.00
00:27:34.080 Suck it. 0.99
00:27:34.600 I think I did. 1.00
00:27:35.080 Wait, I think I did move it to you.
00:27:35.400 Go back to the tape.
00:27:36.440 Wait, go to the question.
00:27:37.320 Go to the tape.
00:27:38.200 Go to the question.
00:27:39.940 I don't know what I did.
00:27:40.920 I'm hammered.
00:27:41.580 I've already had half of our G.
00:27:42.640 He can say he doesn't know.
00:27:43.720 Go back to the tape.
00:27:44.940 Did I get my points?
00:27:46.840 Let's go, kid.
00:27:48.640 Okay, baby.
00:27:49.880 Good luck.
00:27:50.720 Good luck on your last one and enjoy your new car modification.
00:27:53.920 Guess what it's going to be?
00:27:54.880 You're putting my mug on your car seat.
00:27:56.600 That's what you're doing.
00:27:57.420 You're getting rid of the girlfriend one and you're putting my beautiful face stitched 0.99
00:28:01.540 in pink on your car seat.
00:28:02.800 That's what's going on.
00:28:03.900 You're up, kid.
00:28:04.900 Let's go, Reese.
00:28:05.860 Oh, yes.
00:28:07.880 Yes!
00:28:09.720 Final question.
00:28:11.220 Was thou shall not worship any graven image originally written in the lesser known
00:28:16.920 Hebrew tongue-in-cheek sense, explaining why it's not blasphemous when Catholics do it? 1.00
00:28:23.280 Was thou shall not worship any graven image originally written in the lesser known Hebrew...
00:28:26.580 It's written poorly, but I get the point he's trying to make.
00:28:30.580 Can you translate?
00:28:31.360 Yeah, yeah.
00:28:32.080 Let me try to translate.
00:28:32.860 Try to translate.
00:28:33.160 To Davies.
00:28:33.740 I don't know.
00:28:34.440 Davies.
00:28:35.980 Was thou shall not worship any graven image originally written in the lesser known Hebrew
00:28:39.640 tongue-in-cheek sense, explaining why it's not...
00:28:41.880 He's an iconoclastic Protestant, and he's accusing Catholics, like you would do too, of... 0.65
00:28:48.600 The iconoclastic Protestants and some Jews are on the team on this. 1.00
00:28:55.980 Is it okay to have icons in a Catholic church?
00:29:00.340 And I have to guess how you would answer. 0.99
00:29:02.820 But I know how you would answer, sucker, so you're going to have to change a car seat. 1.00
00:29:06.860 Unless you're a liar and commit an evil sin and break a different commandment. 1.00
00:29:10.860 But now you're going to have to get a new car seat. 0.94
00:29:13.260 We ready?
00:29:14.160 Start the clock.
00:29:17.100 Okay, hold on.
00:29:17.700 I want to make sure I don't make the same mistake you did.
00:29:20.160 Was thou shalt not worship any graven image originally written in the tongue-in-cheek sense,
00:29:23.940 explaining why Catholics do it okay? 0.96
00:29:25.740 Professor Jacob would say...
00:29:28.180 Well, hold on.
00:29:28.640 You've got to put like in your answer. 1.00
00:29:29.760 Unless you want to be a filthy liar and burn in hell forever. 1.00
00:29:33.420 What do you want to do? 1.00
00:29:34.320 I don't want to do that.
00:29:35.060 You want to do?
00:29:35.800 Do you...
00:29:36.200 Is making me take a sin worth burning in hell forever?
00:29:40.460 No, it's not.
00:29:42.580 You ready?
00:29:44.700 You ready?
00:29:49.140 No!
00:29:49.600 You lose even more points!
00:29:51.000 Because it's not written in a tongue-in-cheek sense.
00:29:53.040 It just plainly doesn't mean what the Protestants and some of the Jews...
00:29:56.480 Well, some of the Protestants and some of the Jews think that it means.
00:29:58.900 It's not tongue-in-cheek...
00:29:59.860 What does it mean? 0.98
00:30:00.580 A graven image, an idolatrous, dumb idol that the Canaanites worshipped like a Baal 1.00
00:30:06.700 is not the same thing as venerating an image.
00:30:09.600 Because all human communication, all human thought is mediated by images.
00:30:14.240 Even if you close your eyes in a perfectly whitewashed room and you pray to God,
00:30:17.700 you're going to have some image in your mind.
00:30:19.380 So there's no way of avoiding the images.
00:30:21.100 What you don't want to do is mistake the image, the appearance, for the thing itself.
00:30:25.520 Which is why veneration and outright worship are different things,
00:30:28.900 and it's why the Catholics and pagans are different.
00:30:30.420 That's why you're going to have to change your car seat.
00:30:31.700 I just got a question.
00:30:33.560 I got to push back a little bit.
00:30:35.360 Okay.
00:30:35.660 Your associate producer is Jewish.
00:30:36.900 Okay.
00:30:37.120 The icons in the church that you're referring to, where are the things they represent currently?
00:30:45.680 Where are they right now?
00:30:47.020 Well, certain images are of saints and things.
00:30:56.440 So there might be relics of the bodies of saints.
00:30:58.420 But of course, a human being is soul and body together, and at death, our soul and body separate.
00:31:02.360 But like an icon of St. Thomas, for instance.
00:31:05.260 So where is St. Thomas right now?
00:31:07.120 Well, his soul is in heaven, and his body is on earth, and in reliquaries all over the world.
00:31:12.180 It's good that you mention in heaven and in earth, because, you see, you talk about how, you know, Jewish, it's not. 0.99
00:31:17.740 We both share the Ten Commandments.
00:31:19.400 Yes.
00:31:19.800 And what does the Ten Commandments say about making a graven image of something that's in the heavens above or on the lands beneath?
00:31:24.800 What book of the Bible is that in?
00:31:26.460 That is the book of Exodus.
00:31:27.620 Book of Exodus.
00:31:28.400 Okay.
00:31:28.840 The Ten Commandments.
00:31:29.760 And what else is in the book of Exodus?
00:31:31.940 In the book of Exodus?
00:31:32.880 Yeah.
00:31:33.040 I know what you're going to say.
00:31:34.280 You're going to talk about the graven image of the angels on the side of the...
00:31:36.820 Hold on.
00:31:37.100 You're telling me, you're telling me, right at almost exactly the same time that God tells the Israelites,
00:31:43.500 don't make, according to your interpretation of it, don't make any image whatsoever of anything in heaven.
00:31:48.300 Mm-hmm.
00:31:48.600 He immediately tells you to craft images of angels who are in heaven.
00:31:54.220 Mm-hmm.
00:31:54.960 So my interpretation of that would mean, okay, well, then that means that God, because God can't contradict himself, this is like the first principle of, you know, it's Aristotle's principle of non-contradiction, from which we have to reason.
00:32:08.480 That would mean that God cannot be contradicting himself, so he's not telling us literally we can't have any images of things in heaven.
00:32:15.540 He's saying, don't create any idols, because idols are very wrong, but images are just the way that our experience of the world is mediated.
00:32:24.620 And this is one evidence of this is that immediately after God says, don't do this thing that you think he's saying, he immediately tells you to do that exact thing.
00:32:34.420 And God would not do that, because we're not Muslims, and we don't believe that Allah is pure will, unbounded by reason.
00:32:39.540 Producer Davies is probably going to have to stop us, because this might go for a while.
00:32:42.280 Yeah.
00:32:42.520 I got a, I got a, I'm going to give a counterpoint, give a hypothetical.
00:32:45.440 Mm-hmm.
00:32:46.340 I understand your logic, I understand why you believe what you believe.
00:32:48.480 Yep.
00:32:49.600 Let's say, the street in front of the office, the speed limit is 30 miles an hour.
00:32:53.080 Yeah.
00:32:53.420 Okay.
00:32:54.380 Once every two years, NASCAR comes and they do an event on this street, they shut it down, I'm sure you've seen it, they shut it down in Nashville.
00:33:00.380 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:33:00.940 Okay.
00:33:01.200 The police say, on this very day, specific people can speed down this street, going as fast as they want.
00:33:08.700 Yeah, yeah.
00:33:09.800 Are you to tell me, the law that has been set before this exemption was created, right?
00:33:16.520 No, the...
00:33:17.020 This is nullified.
00:33:17.900 No, no, no, these moral laws are from all time.
00:33:20.100 Okay.
00:33:20.420 They're eternal.
00:33:21.800 God's moral law is not bound by time, it's not constantly changing, like the lib side.
00:33:26.620 Morality is always evolving, man.
00:33:27.840 Yeah, I understand, but what I'm trying to say, you're saying that you can make graven images because these angels were made on this side.
00:33:34.880 That we can have, yeah, we can have icons.
00:33:36.300 You can have icons, okay.
00:33:37.380 Not idols, but icons.
00:33:38.320 But my question now to you is, what you're essentially saying is because the police gave permission to the NASCAR to go fast down the street for one specific instance, the law that existed before to not speed on that street, after NASCAR is over, I can go ahead and speed down the street as many times as I want.
00:33:54.420 That would be an interesting rebuttal if God told us in the book of Exodus, do not make any images of anything on earth, except for this one time when I'm telling you to.
00:34:04.200 But he doesn't say except for this one time when I'm telling you to.
00:34:05.900 That part, you're just adding that in, like some people add words to the Bible.
00:34:08.860 Adding it in?
00:34:09.520 Yeah.
00:34:10.180 There's no except for this one time that's a really special case and only this time.
00:34:13.320 Does the word accept change everything?
00:34:14.740 It certainly would.
00:34:16.100 How would it?
00:34:16.340 Because in what God says, do this, don't do this, and do this.
00:34:21.260 So you say, okay, well, how do I reconcile these two things?
00:34:23.560 They're not in contradiction with each other, okay, so let me try to make sense of it.
00:34:27.220 If merely he had said, don't do this, except this time, then I have no paradox to resolve.
00:34:35.940 That's not what happens here.
00:34:37.540 So it would seem to me, especially just reasoning from the fact that we always have images, we're always arguing for, we're always arguing for, we're always arguing for,
00:34:44.740 we're always mediating our ideas and our discourse through images, that there's no problem with images.
00:34:51.400 The problem is with idolatry.
00:34:54.220 And so, so even for instance, even with the exception, would you say that the cherubim, that the ancient Israelites were ordered to carve for the ark, would you, would you say that those are idols?
00:35:07.900 I...
00:35:08.420 Does God command that the Israelites construct an idol?
00:35:11.580 I think if the, no, because the angels are a servant of God, they're not God, they're not God exactly.
00:35:16.480 But it's a graven image.
00:35:18.300 But to create an image used in liturgy, the liturgy of going through the desert, the Exodus, which is the figure of all history, would that not, isn't your objection to that, that that would be idolatrous?
00:35:31.620 Isn't your objection as a Jew to the images and the statues in the Catholic churches that they're idolatrous?
00:35:37.300 Or is that not your objection?
00:35:38.840 My objection is that they're not idolatrous because God specifically commanded them to create it.
00:35:42.600 But are the images in the Catholic churches idolatrous?
00:35:44.840 In the Catholic churches?
00:35:45.700 Yes.
00:35:46.060 Why are they idolatrous?
00:35:47.080 Why could they not be?
00:35:48.480 Hold on, hold on.
00:35:48.900 Well, you just said that the statue in the ark is not idolatrous because God said to create it.
00:35:55.760 Let's say God did not say to create it.
00:35:57.520 Let's say that they just, the Israelites misinterpreted and they just created it on their own. 0.97
00:36:02.040 Would the statue in the ark necessarily be idolatrous?
00:36:06.800 Would it be an idol?
00:36:07.480 Or is there something, or is there a distinction between an idol and a different kind of statue of something in heaven?
00:36:14.300 It depends how the Hebrews would view the angels on the side of the...
00:36:17.360 Exactly.
00:36:18.460 So are the images in the Catholic church necessarily idolatrous?
00:36:22.300 Or does it depend on how the Catholics view the images?
00:36:24.080 But just because something's not classified as an idol doesn't mean that it's an exception from the rule in the Ten Commandments not to make any graven images.
00:36:31.040 Right, right.
00:36:31.400 I don't think it's an exception.
00:36:32.060 That's the prohibition of a physical act.
00:36:33.380 But, okay, so you're saying that the images and the statues in the Catholic church are not necessarily idols.
00:36:38.980 It depends upon how the Catholics view them.
00:36:42.080 I mean, I think...
00:36:43.720 If that's true for the Israelites, that's true for the Catholics, isn't it? 0.98
00:36:46.100 I'm going to get some hate for this because I...
00:36:47.960 Here we go, baby.
00:36:48.660 Let's go.
00:36:49.120 I'm going to get some hate.
00:36:49.940 I love my Catholic friends to death.
00:36:51.800 I'm going to put that out there.
00:36:52.700 I love them.
00:36:53.060 But I think the only idol that I would name would be Jesus on the crucifix because that's perceived to be God.
00:36:59.920 And to make an image of God is idolatrous.
00:37:03.700 It would be idolatrous.
00:37:04.260 So you're not saying it's idolatrous specifically because of the Catholics, right?
00:37:07.040 Correct.
00:37:07.280 And you're not even saying it's idolatrous because you, being a Jew, don't believe that Christ is God yet. 1.00
00:37:12.180 But you're saying that to make any image of God would be idolatrous.
00:37:16.280 I think, yeah, any image of God would be idolatrous.
00:37:19.340 Why?
00:37:20.060 Because it specifically says.
00:37:21.800 God is not...
00:37:22.840 God, well, first, to get into the specifics, God says he's not a man in the Old Testament.
00:37:27.120 And I think he specifically says that he's not a man so that we don't, you know, we don't look to man to worship.
00:37:32.740 Where does he say he's not a man?
00:37:34.280 In the book of Exodus, book of Deuteronomy.
00:37:37.200 What does he say specifically?
00:37:37.880 I'm not saying both.
00:37:38.460 I'm saying it's one of them.
00:37:39.140 I can't remember which book that's in.
00:37:40.180 But he says he's not a man specifically.
00:37:43.240 Not just a man.
00:37:43.640 Not a man who doesn't change.
00:37:44.780 He's not a man who changes his mind.
00:37:46.660 Yep.
00:37:47.540 Immutability, he doesn't change.
00:37:48.540 Immutability.
00:37:49.320 But could you make an image of a thing without confusing the image for the thing itself?
00:37:57.160 Do you ever write down the word God?
00:37:59.180 Of course I write down the word God.
00:38:00.640 But that's an image to represent God.
00:38:03.260 But graven means to construct out of like a...
00:38:05.920 Okay, would you ever carve the word God in a, I don't know, a wooden sign to hang it by the door?
00:38:10.840 I mean, I don't know if I would consider script an image.
00:38:13.260 It is an image.
00:38:13.940 Because you communicate with the Bible script.
00:38:16.980 I don't know if writing the Bible...
00:38:17.940 Exactly.
00:38:18.620 ...is a sin.
00:38:20.140 But you wouldn't say it is.
00:38:21.500 I would.
00:38:21.680 You would say it's not a sin.
00:38:22.740 Just as making other kinds of images that represent God but are not taken to be God are not sins.
00:38:28.100 No, I just, I think you draw a little bit, like you cut too many corners to try and get around the...
00:38:36.140 No, I'm not cutting corners.
00:38:36.860 I'm just explaining what signs and symbols are.
00:38:38.400 You're taking a commandment that says not to make...
00:38:41.200 And this was given right after the golden calf.
00:38:42.820 Yeah.
00:38:43.140 Which they made something that was supposed to represent God in heaven.
00:38:45.920 Yeah, yeah.
00:38:46.320 And he punished, they killed a bunch of people for it.
00:38:48.020 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:38:48.760 This is a commandment given right after that, not to make any graven images.
00:38:52.060 He specifically says, nothing in the heavens, nothing on the earth, nothing.
00:38:56.240 And then he tells you to make an image of something in heaven.
00:38:58.020 Correct, and then I'll just reference you back to the NASCAR example I gave you.
00:39:01.160 It's like, just because he gives you specific permission to do something at a certain time
00:39:06.220 doesn't mean that the laws that he specifically outlined being eternal are null and void.
00:39:11.480 Well, if...
00:39:12.320 He says...
00:39:13.100 If he's contradicting himself, that is what it means.
00:39:14.700 He says that murder is wrong.
00:39:16.120 He says that murder is wrong.
00:39:17.840 Yeah.
00:39:18.080 But he also told the Israelites to go into Canaan and not spare anybody when they go in and take over.
00:39:22.400 Yeah, that was a justified war. 0.96
00:39:23.920 I mean...
00:39:24.540 That gets us back to our justified war point.
00:39:26.200 But you know what else it gets us back to?
00:39:28.980 I'm reminded of this.
00:39:30.020 What?
00:39:30.420 Speaking of creating images.
00:39:32.420 Not of anything in heaven, yet.
00:39:35.180 You've got to make an image of something on earth.
00:39:37.820 You've got to make a nice, beautiful icon.
00:39:41.060 This little terrestrial mug.
00:39:43.100 And you've got to stitch that in pink on your car.
00:39:46.760 And I'm going to have to be smiling.
00:39:48.600 And I'm going to look like this.
00:39:50.200 Can I say that's against my religion?
00:39:52.340 You can say that all you want.
00:39:54.140 But you're stitching it.
00:39:55.320 Just like this.
00:39:55.920 This is what it's going to look like on Professor Jacob's car.
00:40:00.960 Destiny, I'm very sorry about that.
00:40:03.480 She says it's okay, too.
00:40:04.720 There you go.
00:40:05.220 All right.
00:40:05.420 Now you've got two.
00:40:06.180 Professor Jacob, thank you for joining me on today's episode of Yes or No.
00:40:10.780 Everyone should go check out his Instagram, at Jacob Falach.
00:40:13.740 And, Professor, is your TikTok still alive?
00:40:17.180 I haven't used that thing in like a year.
00:40:18.660 They banned me seven times.
00:40:20.700 Seven times.
00:40:21.660 Lost like half a million followers.
00:40:23.260 And then I was like, you know what?
00:40:25.340 They banned my biggest account because I talked about gas prices.
00:40:29.860 That's it?
00:40:30.520 Hold on.
00:40:30.940 Of all the things you've talked about, gas prices.
00:40:32.860 They banned me because of a video talking about gas prices under Biden.
00:40:36.120 And the reasoning was child endangerment.
00:40:37.780 Wow.
00:40:40.300 What does that even mean?
00:40:41.140 I don't know.
00:40:41.540 Making you drink on this show, I think today it qualifies as child endangerment.
00:40:45.560 Yeah, especially.
00:40:46.700 And then putting you behind the wheel of that Camaro with my face on it.
00:40:48.880 That might be endangerment, too.
00:40:50.440 Everyone, go check out Jacob's social media channels to get your dose of Zoomer conservative
00:40:57.180 commentary like this.
00:41:00.120 I don't know.
00:41:01.320 Conservatives have been saying it forever, but if you need a reminder, critics of Donald 0.76
00:41:04.440 Trump are some of the most dishonest people on the face of the planet.
00:41:07.700 Here's a headline from the Fortune. 0.97
00:41:09.040 The Vatican asked all Pope Francis funeral attendees to wear black.
00:41:12.820 Trump wore a blue suit.
00:41:14.100 Oh my God.
00:41:15.340 I mean, this is the worst thing.
00:41:16.360 You just made an image of God, by the way.
00:41:17.740 How dare Trump be the only person at this funeral wearing a blue suit instead of black
00:41:22.620 like the Vatican asked?
00:41:23.740 Let me show you something.
00:41:24.820 This right here is the image that the Fortune used.
00:41:27.760 Pretty damning, right?
00:41:28.640 Trump is the only one in frame wearing a blue suit.
00:41:30.840 Now, here is the full image zoomed out.
00:41:33.540 There is a sea of people wearing a blue suit, but it's not just a sea of random people.
00:41:37.920 If we zoom in a little bit, we'll see that your boy Joe Biden is wearing a blue suit as
00:41:42.460 well.
00:41:42.740 If you want hip, cool, zoomer stuff like that, you know, with your gat and all your Sigma 0.98
00:41:51.220 bros and everything, go to Jacob's social media channels.
00:41:56.160 Who knows?
00:41:56.600 Hopefully bigger and greater things into the future.
00:41:58.520 Professor Chin Chin.
00:42:01.540 I won.
00:42:02.720 See you next time.
00:42:12.740 Thank you.
