The Michael Knowles Show - YES or NO： Riley Gaines

00:00:00.000 These are questions that take cultures thousands of years to answer.

00:00:04.740 During Answer the Call, I take questions from people just like you

00:00:07.920 about their problems, opportunities, challenges, or when they simply need advice.

00:00:12.700 How do I balance all of this grief, responsibility?

00:00:15.800 How do you repair this kind of damage?

00:00:18.080 My daughter, Michaela, guides the conversations

00:00:20.540 as we hopefully help people navigate their lives.

00:00:24.080 Everyone has their own destiny. Everyone.

00:00:30.000 I would kick an orphan in the head to... 1.00

00:00:34.440 You would kick an orphan in the head?

00:00:35.800 This is the clip. Riley Gaines.

00:00:37.020 This is it.

00:00:37.500 I would kick an orphan in the head. 1.00

00:00:39.020 Media-ite headline, Riley Gaines would kick orphan in the head. 0.98

00:00:42.360 That's it. I can't wait.

00:00:43.060 For money.

00:00:43.200 Welcome to Yes or No, the bibulous battle to discover who knows whom better.

00:01:02.280 My guest today is Riley Gaines. How do we play?

00:01:04.840 I will ask Riley a yes or no question.

00:01:06.900 She will select her answer away from my prying eyes.

00:01:09.500 Then, I will guess how she answered.

00:01:12.460 If I guess correctly, I get a point.

00:01:14.360 If I guess incorrectly, I lose a point.

00:01:16.920 No matter what, I will probably end up drinking.

00:01:20.200 Then it's Riley's turn.

00:01:21.780 Neither of us has seen the questions beforehand.

00:01:23.800 Whoever has the most points at the end wins.

00:01:25.560 The stakes could be higher.

00:01:27.920 Let's get started.

00:01:28.900 Riley, good to see you.

00:01:30.740 Good to see you. I'm excited.

00:01:32.640 Now, hold on.

00:01:33.680 You have a glass of water.

00:01:35.200 I do. I know.

00:01:36.500 So, already you're at an advantage because I have a martini.

00:01:39.780 Could be a disadvantage, depending how you look at it.

00:01:42.760 Depending how you look at it.

00:01:43.880 Why the...

00:01:45.360 Exciting news.

00:01:46.660 I am rounding out my pregnancy.

00:01:50.260 Pregnant with a little girl.

00:01:52.020 Super duper excited.

00:01:53.300 I'm due in September, which is crazy.

00:01:55.680 I knew that, by the way.

00:01:57.180 I knew...

00:01:57.660 That was a setup, like in show business where I...

00:02:00.060 Yeah.

00:02:00.260 But the thing I didn't know, Riley, is that you're like seven months pregnant, whatever it is.

00:02:05.120 Yeah.

00:02:05.620 You look...

00:02:06.460 This is not flattery.

00:02:07.940 You look like you're two weeks pregnant. 0.99

00:02:10.140 I don't...

00:02:10.360 That's very sweet.

00:02:11.400 Is this what happens when you're an athlete?

00:02:13.340 You know, I really do think there's truth to that.

00:02:16.220 Yeah.

00:02:16.520 Being fit prior to pregnancy, prior to conception, it has made my entire pregnancy feel like

00:02:22.420 a breeze.

00:02:23.960 No fatigue, no tired, no aversions, no anything.

00:02:28.620 Like, I have felt the exact same as I did pre-pregnancy.

00:02:31.540 So, hopefully, it means something for postpartum, too, and we can bounce back quick and get back

00:02:36.920 into my jeans, because they certainly don't fit anymore.

00:02:40.000 It must be very...

00:02:40.640 It's only slightly tight.

00:02:41.940 Well, if you're all good with no aversions and no tiredness or whatever, then you should

00:02:46.140 have a drink.

00:02:46.920 That's what I'm saying.

00:02:47.080 I think the kid would appreciate it.

00:02:48.460 I think she wants one.

00:02:49.580 As long as you...

00:02:50.460 I find with pregnancy...

00:02:51.480 I'm not a medical doctor, but I am an honorary doctor.

00:02:53.400 And I find that as long as you balance out the booze in pregnancy with a few cigarettes

00:02:58.220 to get an upper, you're totally good.

00:03:00.120 The kid will thank you for it.

00:03:01.180 That's...

00:03:01.540 I mean, if people in the 1500s survived, like, the bubonic plague...

00:03:05.340 Yeah.

00:03:05.860 I mean, what's a little...

00:03:07.420 What's a little...

00:03:07.820 What's a little alcohol going to do?

00:03:08.920 I know.

00:03:09.220 I drank a lot during my wife's pregnancy.

00:03:11.120 Yeah.

00:03:11.400 Just to balance things out.

00:03:12.000 Okay.

00:03:12.100 My husband says it all the time.

00:03:13.280 He's like, so, what are we craving today?

00:03:15.600 What's our cravings?

00:03:17.180 So...

00:03:17.740 Now, do you know the rules?

00:03:19.040 I know the rules.

00:03:19.740 Good.

00:03:20.000 I don't.

00:03:20.560 I don't know them.

00:03:21.320 Well, if neither of us do, we can make them up.

00:03:23.940 Yeah, I like that.

00:03:24.380 Even more fun.

00:03:25.020 I like that.

00:03:25.660 You're a lady, so you go first. 1.00

00:03:27.260 Okay.

00:03:27.420 You take the prompt.

00:03:28.120 So, I'm going to ask you this.

00:03:29.980 Yes.

00:03:30.520 And I'm going to guess how...

00:03:32.520 I'm going to guess what you think, if you would put yes or no.

00:03:35.000 Correct.

00:03:35.800 Okay.

00:03:36.780 I, Riley Gaines, would be willing to rematch Leah Thomas in a charity 200-yard freestyle,

00:03:43.380 but it likely won't happen because Leah no longer has the balls to do it. 1.00

00:03:48.820 Wow.

00:03:51.320 Say the first part of the prompt again.

00:03:54.340 I, Riley Gaines, would be willing to rematch Leah Thomas in a charity 200-yard freestyle,

00:03:59.960 eight laps, but it likely won't happen because Leah no longer has the balls to do it. 1.00

00:04:04.800 I got it wrong?

00:04:05.700 What do you mean, I got it wrong?

00:04:07.880 Well, uh...

00:04:08.500 How do you know you got it wrong?

00:04:09.760 Because he told me in my ear.

00:04:11.180 Ah.

00:04:11.540 This is...

00:04:12.200 A billion dollars?

00:04:13.940 Wait, so I was correct?

00:04:16.180 I was correct.

00:04:17.540 Oh, good.

00:04:18.840 What did you put?

00:04:19.520 Hold on! 0.98

00:04:21.320 Ben, please speak English to me.

00:04:24.620 Am I correct or incorrect?

00:04:26.840 Suspense.

00:04:27.980 Oh, she got it incorrect.

00:04:30.120 How did I get it incorrect?

00:04:31.940 That's great.

00:04:33.020 Because...

00:04:33.620 Oh, because I'm guessing how you do it.

00:04:34.860 You're guessing how I think you would answer.

00:04:36.540 And now here's why you got...

00:04:38.740 You were wrong about what I think you would do.

00:04:41.520 Okay.

00:04:42.000 Okay.

00:04:42.300 So you put no.

00:04:43.120 I put no.

00:04:44.420 Okay.

00:04:45.940 Because...

00:04:45.980 I thought you would say yes.

00:04:47.220 We're talking a billion dollars.

00:04:48.640 Yeah, but listen.

00:04:49.800 It's not about the money.

00:04:51.020 It's not...

00:04:51.500 You know, I guess everyone has a price.

00:04:52.600 Well, if it's a charity...

00:04:53.440 It's the principle of it.

00:04:54.240 Okay, okay.

00:04:55.380 It's wrong to race against this guy.

00:04:58.740 But I think I could beat him.

00:05:00.280 Because he got the snip.

00:05:01.760 He got the snip.

00:05:02.720 Yeah.

00:05:02.900 Even being seven months pregnant now and very much out of shape.

00:05:08.780 I think I'm supposed to drink.

00:05:09.580 You're not supposed to drink, but you're just doing it for fun.

00:05:10.920 I'm doing it in solidarity, yeah.

00:05:13.400 Even being seven months pregnant now, my fitness has, I think, remained.

00:05:20.380 I think, of course, I've lost, like, muscle mass and...

00:05:24.340 But you're still running.

00:05:25.060 Naturally.

00:05:25.560 Still running.

00:05:26.460 Swimming Alcatraz next week.

00:05:27.800 Like, I still very much am into my fitness.

00:05:29.640 I think I could totally take him.

00:05:30.860 And if I had a billion dollars to give to the charity of my choosing,

00:05:35.040 I would need to think about what that charity would be.

00:05:37.460 It would be totally like a slap in the face to him.

00:05:41.980 It would go to, like, the most pro...

00:05:45.860 But hold on.

00:05:47.880 Truth, pro-reality, pro-science, pro-woman charity out there. 0.90

00:05:52.580 So then it's a billion dollars to a good cause.

00:05:54.760 That was my logic.

00:05:55.840 Because I truthfully think I could take him.

00:05:57.740 But you're...

00:05:58.160 Now.

00:05:58.400 Which goes against my entire argument, by the way.

00:06:00.560 Yeah, he's out of shape, and you're in shape.

00:06:02.300 That's why you could take him now.

00:06:03.240 That's what we're saying.

00:06:03.840 But it's still wrong.

00:06:04.880 In general, women should not be expected to compete against the men. 1.00

00:06:07.040 Of course not.

00:06:07.840 But you're saying you could take him for all sorts of reasons, including the SNP.

00:06:11.440 Of course.

00:06:11.780 But I guess my argument is, there are plenty of things you wouldn't do for no amount of money.

00:06:15.620 But it's not personal gain.

00:06:17.900 It's for a greater cause.

00:06:18.840 I'm saying, let's say someone said, I'll give you a billion dollars to the charity of your

00:06:21.740 choice if you kick an orphan in the head.

00:06:25.160 Would you do it?

00:06:25.960 Billion dollars.

00:06:26.620 I'm sorry, let me change it.

00:06:27.640 Ten billion dollars.

00:06:28.840 If you just kick an orphan.

00:06:30.180 Would the orphan die?

00:06:30.380 Not that hard.

00:06:31.060 No, an orphan wouldn't die.

00:06:32.300 We'd just have a bruise.

00:06:34.400 A bruise for ten billion dollars for a greater good.

00:06:37.400 That's where we're at.

00:06:39.000 I think I would kick...

00:06:39.720 Some little utilitarian by my...

00:06:41.220 I would kick an orphan in the head to... 1.00

00:06:43.660 But think of the orphans.

00:06:45.520 Let's say it goes back to a...

00:06:47.500 You would kick an orphan in the head?

00:06:49.460 This is the clip.

00:06:50.520 Riley Gaines.

00:06:50.760 This is it.

00:06:51.200 I would kick an orphan in the head. 1.00

00:06:52.680 Media-ite headline.

00:06:53.880 Riley Gaines would kick orphan in the head. 0.98

00:06:56.040 That's it.

00:06:56.300 I can't wait.

00:06:56.720 For money.

00:06:57.240 For ten billion dollars, I would kick an orphan in the head.

00:06:59.680 Great.

00:07:00.120 Wow.

00:07:00.360 That's the clip.

00:07:01.680 This is why she's such a killer athlete. 1.00

00:07:04.040 The clip.

00:07:04.380 Total killer.

00:07:05.500 Yeah.

00:07:05.980 No, just totally honed in.

00:07:07.740 Psycho.

00:07:08.160 Okay, all right.

00:07:08.740 Well, I would rematch him.

00:07:10.020 And I think there's other men too.

00:07:11.240 People like Keith Olbermann.

00:07:12.600 This is a guy who constantly is on X, coming after me.

00:07:17.680 He has a super weird, unhealthy obsession with me.

00:07:22.820 Even Grok admitted it.

00:07:23.700 We were talking about Grok prior to filming

00:07:26.040 and how Grok is actually, I think, super woke and whatever.

00:07:31.940 But also, as of the time of this filming,

00:07:35.780 Grok endorsed Hitler last night.

00:07:37.920 So I don't know if you caught that one.

00:07:39.660 He's the Gawken Fuhrer now. 0.97

00:07:41.900 So very far left on the one hand,

00:07:44.780 a little bit far right on the other.

00:07:47.940 It's being pro-Hitler far right anymore, though. 0.73

00:07:50.260 I don't even know.

00:07:50.820 It might be a horseshoe thing. 0.98

00:07:52.640 It's a little, it's a confusing ideology.

00:07:55.160 Yeah, I can't keep up.

00:07:56.700 Yeah.

00:07:56.940 Anyways, I would challenge Keith Olbermann too.

00:07:58.720 Okay.

00:07:59.000 And I think I've made this public.

00:08:00.920 I would challenge him to a charity race and I would beat him.

00:08:02.960 Yes.

00:08:03.420 And then I would have money to a charity of my choosing.

00:08:05.980 Would you kick him in the head?

00:08:07.680 Happily for free.

00:08:08.540 I would pay him to kick him in the head.

00:08:10.820 That's fair.

00:08:11.560 This is not promoting violence.

00:08:12.660 Now, I am guessing...

00:08:14.700 Okay.

00:08:15.320 ...how you would answer.

00:08:17.540 Deportations should not stop with Satan-worshipping gang members.

00:08:20.520 They should also include the illegal abuela selling empanadas.

00:08:27.900 For sure.

00:08:28.900 For sure.

00:08:29.540 Obviously.

00:08:29.940 It has to.

00:08:30.520 Definitely.

00:08:31.360 There's like 16 million illegals.

00:08:32.760 Definitely.

00:08:33.320 There aren't that many with face tattoos.

00:08:35.040 I think I have, given the fact that I'm married to an immigrant.

00:08:40.300 Of course, a legal immigrant.

00:08:42.480 Was he Trendy Aragua or MS-13?

00:08:44.540 MS-13.

00:08:45.080 MS-13, I figure.

00:08:45.760 It was really hard getting him here.

00:08:47.340 Trump really pulled through.

00:08:48.540 We're so glad that he was president.

00:08:50.560 He issued him his green card.

00:08:51.720 It's good to have friends in high places.

00:08:54.020 But no, really, it is Trump that made it easier for my immigrant husband to be here.

00:08:59.980 We've been married over three years.

00:09:01.680 And of course, with the previous administration, got married in 2022, applied for a green card.

00:09:08.900 But Biden would not give my husband a green card because he wasn't willing to get the COVID shot.

00:09:15.200 So when Donald Trump was inaugurated as the 47th president, gave it 24 hours before I pick up the phone and I say, hey, granted, my husband was here legally the entire time, of course.

00:09:29.500 I say, hey, did you know about this mandate, this rule that I would deem illegal?

00:09:36.120 He says, no, give me two hours.

00:09:37.940 And within two hours, he had vacated nationwide the mandate requiring legal immigrants to get the COVID vaccine.

00:09:44.880 So all that to say, my husband now has a green card.

00:09:48.300 But knowing that process, what it's like, of course, the struggles with it, but also how it can be done correctly, of course, how it should be done correctly.

00:09:58.740 I don't really have a ton of sympathy for those who don't do it the right way.

00:10:03.200 No, no, of course.

00:10:04.840 Yeah.

00:10:05.000 Like, I mean, I feel a little bad only in that the Democrats, Biden in particular, said, hey, come here.

00:10:11.220 Of course.

00:10:11.640 And then you have these, you know, Ecuadorian peasants who come over here and they think it's going to be fine. 0.99

00:10:19.060 And then we say, no, actually, we have laws, you know, and you can't just do that.

00:10:23.640 So I feel a little bit bad, but I'm sorry.

00:10:26.200 Yeah.

00:10:27.000 Adios.

00:10:27.360 That's how I feel, too.

00:10:28.920 Yeah.

00:10:29.200 And it's an ongoing debate at the national level with the whole amnesty thing and everything going on there.

00:10:34.360 So we shall see.

00:10:35.240 A lot of entrenched interests want, they say, they don't want amnesty for everyone.

00:10:40.140 No.

00:10:40.360 Just like their people.

00:10:41.280 Yeah.

00:10:41.520 You know, it's never, you want to deport everyone except your gardener or whatever.

00:10:46.380 Okay.

00:10:46.500 That's how it goes.

00:10:47.160 You're up.

00:10:48.580 Clear my card.

00:10:51.140 Okay.

00:10:52.920 Ooh, this is a video or photo prompt.

00:10:55.300 I don't really know what that means.

00:10:57.360 I hope it means there's a video or photo.

00:10:59.400 I would infer that that's a...

00:11:01.640 Epstein's cell video clip from Megyn Kelly's Monday show.

00:11:06.900 So we watch this?

00:11:08.060 Yes.

00:11:08.660 Okay.

00:11:10.400 Okay.

00:11:11.100 Oh, I saw this.

00:11:11.800 It's 11, 58, 55, 6, 7, 8, no, wow.

00:11:17.620 Hmm.

00:11:19.940 What's that about?

00:11:21.320 Just a full minute.

00:11:22.980 Hmm.

00:11:23.760 And a frame change.

00:11:24.640 Are you more than 50% sure?

00:11:28.920 Wait, a frame change.

00:11:29.900 I don't know if I noticed that.

00:11:31.200 That's interesting.

00:11:31.960 Play it again.

00:11:32.540 That's interesting.

00:11:33.360 And it would change.

00:11:35.320 Look at that.

00:11:35.840 Let's see.

00:11:36.220 So you see it, 58.

00:11:38.080 So is he in this cell 46?

00:11:40.660 Isn't that kind of funny?

00:11:41.500 46.

00:11:43.000 Hmm.

00:11:44.020 It feels like a little hidden Easter egg there.

00:11:45.900 Ooh.

00:11:47.180 If you squint really closely, you can see Hillary pop. 1.00

00:11:49.660 See that frame change?

00:11:50.900 You see that?

00:11:51.420 How it zoomed out a little bit?

00:11:53.240 Okay, okay.

00:11:54.440 Are you more than 50% sure you know what happened during this missing 60 seconds?

00:12:00.300 I'm guessing what you would say.

00:12:06.340 Okay, but like, are you going to be serious about this?

00:12:08.500 Or are you going to have some funny theory?

00:12:09.960 No, I'm not going to have some funny theory.

00:12:11.100 Well, it might be funny.

00:12:12.480 But I don't, I'm going to be quite serious about this.

00:12:14.720 I hate losing.

00:12:18.700 Yeah, you're quite, you're quite competitive.

00:12:20.100 This feels stressful to me.

00:12:22.500 Okay.

00:12:23.700 Yeah.

00:12:24.960 Did I get it right?

00:12:25.980 You did.

00:12:26.500 So you said no.

00:12:27.520 I said no.

00:12:28.360 I'm not, I'm confident, I'm more than 50% confident of what didn't happen.

00:12:34.740 Okay, so?

00:12:35.860 I think what didn't happen is he was just kind of hanging out in his cell and no one came

00:12:42.620 to bother him.

00:12:43.240 But I don't know, I don't know what happened.

00:12:46.280 What logistically can happen in 60 seconds?

00:12:49.340 It's not a lot of time.

00:12:50.580 Might be enough time.

00:12:52.000 Yeah.

00:12:52.940 And it's certainly suspicious, but 60 seconds isn't.

00:12:55.980 Could you kick an orphan in 60 seconds?

00:12:57.640 For $10 billion.

00:12:58.660 Easily.

00:12:59.280 And you could do it in 10 seconds.

00:13:00.540 Yeah.

00:13:00.820 That's what I'm saying.

00:13:01.440 You get a, if, if he were murdered, I'm not saying he was murdered, but if he were murdered,

00:13:06.680 a trained hitman could easily kill Jeffrey Epstein within 60 seconds.

00:13:10.440 But in the, the manner that he died, but then how, like, like.

00:13:18.340 He cracked his neck basically, right?

00:13:19.720 Right.

00:13:20.000 But then how is he then hanging from the ceiling or wherever he was?

00:13:23.020 It was from the bedpost.

00:13:24.080 So, you know, you come in with the little sheet or whatever, you wrap it around his neck.

00:13:27.060 I bet I could do it.

00:13:27.580 In 60 seconds.

00:13:28.880 Yeah.

00:13:29.160 Yeah.

00:13:30.020 Maybe for me it would take 70, but I'm not a trained killer.

00:13:32.480 That's true.

00:13:32.720 Now, I don't know that he was murdered.

00:13:34.060 He might have, he might have killed himself.

00:13:36.040 Right.

00:13:36.440 But for, and also I don't really necessarily believe that's only one minute.

00:13:39.460 Right.

00:13:39.680 I think the jump cut allows it to be, it could be two hours.

00:13:41.500 It's true.

00:13:42.220 So, it could be that he was allowed to kill himself.

00:13:45.220 Could be that he was allowed to kill himself because he was a super spy.

00:13:48.280 Could be allowed, he was allowed to kill himself because he was a total creep who had people

00:13:52.420 gunning for him and he was at his wits end.

00:13:54.060 It could have been any of those reasons.

00:13:54.940 The one thing I'm pretty sure about though, one thing I'm pretty confident is that the

00:13:59.620 official story, which is he was a super rich sex freak.

00:14:02.800 Right.

00:14:03.200 Who was friends with the richest and most powerful people in the entire world, but those two facts

00:14:09.680 had nothing to do with each other.

00:14:11.160 Interesting.

00:14:12.100 It was all just, and speaking of prisons, you know, Ghislaine Maxwell.

00:14:16.240 Right.

00:14:16.540 Is in prison right now for trafficking underage girls to nobody.

00:14:21.200 Yeah.

00:14:21.500 That's, yeah, that to me, I was super shocked by kind of the just dismissiveness that we

00:14:30.060 saw from the administration about this issue because not only, of course, was this something

00:14:34.880 that he campaigned on and promised, it was the manner of which he responded to now what

00:14:41.940 has been proven, like the abuse and the harm and the mistreatment and the exploitation of

00:14:47.460 minors or whatever it was by him and his cohort.

00:14:52.180 Again, it's like factual information at this point.

00:14:55.180 Can I tell you, look, I was not surprised.

00:14:57.440 Yeah.

00:14:58.480 A little, you know, I can't even say it was disappointing because I never thought we were

00:15:02.460 going to get the Epstein list or whatever.

00:15:04.620 Even when the influencers went to the White House and had the binders?

00:15:08.240 What did you think was in the binders?

00:15:09.520 At first I was so irritated.

00:15:10.320 I said, why didn't I get the invite?

00:15:11.500 Yeah, I know.

00:15:11.880 And then after the fallout, I said, I'm kind of really glad they didn't call me about the

00:15:14.840 binder day.

00:15:15.160 But I actually sympathize with Trump in his, when that reporter asked him, what about

00:15:21.460 the list?

00:15:21.760 And he goes, enough about Epstein.

00:15:22.840 I'm sick about talking about, I want to talk about the border.

00:15:24.380 I want to talk about this.

00:15:25.000 I want to, I totally sympathize.

00:15:26.760 Because you know what my theory is?

00:15:30.480 If the official story is not true, if-

00:15:33.060 The official story being-

00:15:34.260 Being that Jeffrey Epstein, just like coincidentally was friends with all these really rich and

00:15:37.980 he was filming them and, but it all had nothing to do with anything and move along.

00:15:40.920 Right, right, right.

00:15:41.540 If there, if he belonged to intelligence, as Alex Acosta reportedly said, U.S. attorney

00:15:47.080 on the case when he was up for Labor Secretary, you were never going to get any more.

00:15:53.920 And it kind of makes sense.

00:15:58.160 Because governments are not radically transparent.

00:16:00.760 They can't be.

00:16:01.480 No institution can be.

00:16:02.440 Certainly not governments.

00:16:04.380 Espionage requires secrecy.

00:16:06.340 Right.

00:16:07.300 Statecraft, broadly, requires secrecy.

00:16:08.320 But then I guess the question is, why do you have Alina Abba going on Piers Morgan saying,

00:16:12.420 oh, we have the files.

00:16:13.460 I'm looking at them.

00:16:14.340 They're on the desk.

00:16:15.060 Or Pam Bondi. 0.99

00:16:15.860 Exactly.

00:16:16.320 Or Pam Bondi. 0.99

00:16:17.100 So part of it is people got a little out ahead of their skis, I think.

00:16:21.280 But, and maybe Trump would want to release it too.

00:16:23.580 The one thing I'm confident of, I don't think Trump is heavily-

00:16:25.760 I agree with that.

00:16:26.460 I think that would have been released ages ago.

00:16:28.660 Agreed.

00:16:28.820 You know, they set the stage for the guy to be murdered, okay?

00:16:31.120 And they tried to imprison him four times or whatever.

00:16:33.080 So that's not it.

00:16:34.760 I think Trump is expressing a frustration that he wants to do these things.

00:16:40.060 He loves transparency.

00:16:41.440 He loves tweeting all his policies out.

00:16:44.060 All caps.

00:16:44.460 All caps.

00:16:45.340 He's quite transparent.

00:16:46.600 And I think he's probably doing the responsible thing because if just what we know turns out

00:16:54.420 to be true and taken to its logical conclusion, that royalty, heads of state, billionaires are

00:16:59.760 all involved in this thing, if you start to just willy-nilly expose the whole thing, you

00:17:07.240 would be unraveling the global order.

00:17:09.140 Yeah, it's a lot of-

00:17:09.940 The world order would collapse.

00:17:11.640 There would be revolutions in countries.

00:17:13.680 So I'm sure, again, this is pure speculation, but I'm sure part of Trump is like, whatever,

00:17:18.380 let's do it.

00:17:19.360 Let's prove that Prince so-and-so or Prime Minister so-and-so.

00:17:22.720 But part of him, I think he is kind of doing the responsible thing, but that's going to

00:17:26.720 be deeply unsatisfying to a lot of people.

00:17:28.440 Me being one of them, I think it's unsatisfying.

00:17:32.380 I think just, again, given the way that it was campaigned on.

00:17:34.940 But I agree.

00:17:36.480 I don't think he is in the files in any of that stuff.

00:17:40.000 Or maybe he was, I don't know.

00:17:41.100 Like, Epstein was a member of the Mar-a-Lago Club until Trump kicked him out.

00:17:45.160 So that's the Democrats say, well, they had a connection.

00:17:48.000 He had a connection with-

00:17:49.180 He had a connection with Harvard University.

00:17:50.960 I think it's a- 0.92

00:17:51.820 Trust me, if it were a serious connection, that would have been the fifth prosecution of

00:17:57.080 Trump.

00:17:57.420 Right.

00:17:57.680 That would-

00:17:58.160 Okay.

00:17:59.000 Well, look.

00:18:00.900 The one thing I think we can all agree on is the government would never lie or conceal

00:18:04.940 anything.

00:18:05.580 Never.

00:18:06.040 They never have.

00:18:06.860 Never.

00:18:07.540 So, why would they start now?

00:18:09.100 When are we going to get the JFK files?

00:18:11.020 Yeah, right.

00:18:12.000 I'm up.

00:18:14.000 Here is a video prompt.

00:18:16.820 Ooh, two in a row.

00:18:18.280 You want healing and unity?

00:18:19.680 This guy!

00:18:20.060 The greatest threat to healing and unity in American history.

00:18:23.880 Get Donald Trump out of office and we don't give a good how you do it.

00:18:29.020 So, this is the guy I said I would kick in the head for free.

00:18:32.740 Actually, I would pay to kick him in the head.

00:18:34.840 Yeah, yeah.

00:18:35.600 That's actually better than most videos.

00:18:37.500 Most of his clips, especially if it's like one he's just filmed on his phone to post to

00:18:41.280 X, he's standing like he literally is in a straight jacket.

00:18:45.640 Yeah.

00:18:46.160 So, this is a little better.

00:18:47.520 As he should be.

00:18:48.160 Yeah.

00:18:48.500 So, like many old libs, Keith Olbermann should get a pass for his New York subway vagrant

00:18:55.020 behavior due to the obvious side effects of multiple booster shots.

00:18:59.940 Well, this is a double callback to what we were talking about earlier.

00:19:02.360 Okay.

00:19:03.020 Like many old libs, I have to guess how you would answer. 1.00

00:19:05.740 Like many old libs, Olbermann should get a pass for his crazy vagrant behavior due to

00:19:10.760 the obvious side effects of multiple booster shots.

00:19:14.220 Okay.

00:19:14.700 I've got to clear mine.

00:19:16.080 Multiple booster shots in conjunction with TDS.

00:19:21.460 I think those things go kind of hand in hand, though.

00:19:24.920 Yeah.

00:19:25.880 Well.

00:19:28.980 You would pay to kick him in the head.

00:19:31.060 So, you couldn't give him a pass.

00:19:33.360 Yeah.

00:19:33.940 I can't give him a pass.

00:19:35.500 Yeah, you can't.

00:19:36.480 Also, do you remember you are so young and vibrant?

00:19:40.180 Me, I'm an old man.

00:19:42.220 Younger than Keith Olbermann.

00:19:43.400 But I'm an old man.

00:19:44.260 I remember as a boy when that lunatic had a show on MSNBC.

00:19:49.880 And one of my closest friends in high school is a big lib, huge lib.

00:19:54.820 And he loved him.

00:19:55.720 Saw him at a Yankee game once.

00:19:56.900 He yelled, oh, I love you, Keith.

00:19:58.340 You keep me sane.

00:19:59.680 I mean, that guy was a complete...

00:20:00.880 And this was long before the booster shots.

00:20:03.340 And he was as crazy as he is today.

00:20:06.500 Well, so, as you alluded to, didn't know much about Keith Olbermann prior to 2022, 2023.

00:20:18.460 Just didn't...

00:20:19.460 I don't think I was overly involved or immersed in the political sphere.

00:20:23.940 I more so knew who Keith Olbermann was from my dad, who is one of those...

00:20:29.860 ESPN.

00:20:31.160 Yes.

00:20:31.540 Yeah.

00:20:33.020 Radical ESPN watchers.

00:20:35.040 Yeah.

00:20:35.360 Until ESPN went, like, fully, fully insufferable.

00:20:39.380 Yeah.

00:20:39.660 Like, they've always been, like, meh.

00:20:41.840 Yeah.

00:20:42.140 You know, but now it's beyond the peril.

00:20:46.000 Mm-hmm.

00:20:46.620 So, I knew who Keith Olbermann was from my dad.

00:20:50.700 My dad loved him.

00:20:51.840 Like, a lot of, like, sports people did.

00:20:55.040 Like, he was the guy.

00:20:56.380 And so, to now hear my dad's perspective of, like, how this man has just totally gone off the rails, clearly.

00:21:04.420 Yeah, he doesn't get a pass from me.

00:21:07.320 So, I drink.

00:21:08.040 You drink.

00:21:08.520 I drink my water.

00:21:08.940 You drink.

00:21:09.440 Guzzle that water.

00:21:10.260 I'm kind of feeling it.

00:21:10.820 Riley.

00:21:11.140 Yeah, I know.

00:21:13.740 I have never been the biggest ESPN viewer in the world.

00:21:16.160 You're going to be shocked to believe I'm not, like, the biggest sports guy.

00:21:19.600 What's your sport if you have to pick?

00:21:20.900 I have a sport.

00:21:21.540 I do have a sport that I actually...

00:21:22.440 Okay.

00:21:22.840 To play or to watch?

00:21:24.200 To watch.

00:21:25.080 Okay, okay.

00:21:26.080 Sweet Riley.

00:21:27.520 You're like a pickleball guy.

00:21:28.980 I play...

00:21:29.820 That's true.

00:21:30.680 Pickleball.

00:21:31.220 I love a good game of gin rummy.

00:21:33.380 Does that count?

00:21:33.800 Yeah, yeah.

00:21:34.560 I did play a sport.

00:21:36.360 Okay.

00:21:36.700 For eight years.

00:21:38.480 I played Little League Baseball.

00:21:39.880 That's intense.

00:21:41.340 Now, I did not hit the ball a lot, but I had a very good on-base percentage because, like

00:21:46.640 Don Baylor in the 70s, I would lean into pitches.

00:21:49.200 So, you're getting hit on the elbow.

00:21:50.600 Yeah, elbow, ribs, wherever.

00:21:52.180 It was all right.

00:21:52.600 It was no big deal.

00:21:52.940 It gives you a little, like, a stitch mark.

00:21:54.600 Yeah.

00:21:54.980 You look cool.

00:21:55.520 I'd get on base.

00:21:57.780 I wasn't a good base runner, though, so it was pointless.

00:22:00.120 You look fast.

00:22:00.780 You look like you'd be, like, the quick one they...

00:22:02.660 Like your, like, pinch runner they put out there. 0.60

00:22:05.720 Looks are sometimes deceiving.

00:22:09.840 And I...

00:22:10.340 So, I...

00:22:11.320 But I've channeled all my sports love...

00:22:13.440 Okay.

00:22:14.680 ...into trans male swimming.

00:22:17.340 No, I'm kidding.

00:22:17.880 I've...

00:22:18.340 Makes sense.

00:22:18.620 It's all into baseball, and it's all into the Yankees.

00:22:21.300 Okay.

00:22:21.740 That's all...

00:22:22.460 I have a normal amount of sports love, but it's all channeled into one.

00:22:26.560 So, I never watch ESPN.

00:22:27.600 I don't need ESPN.

00:22:28.420 I'll listen to Paul O'Neill on the ES Network.

00:22:30.300 Do you want to know who my celebrity crush is?

00:22:33.360 Who?

00:22:33.780 Dansby Swanson.

00:22:35.080 He plays for the Cubs.

00:22:36.100 Do you know who he is?

00:22:36.680 Wow.

00:22:37.100 Wow.

00:22:37.460 No.

00:22:38.060 He's my celebrity crush.

00:22:39.220 He is.

00:22:39.640 I don't...

00:22:39.980 Yeah, I don't know.

00:22:40.560 I love him.

00:22:41.400 Wow.

00:22:41.960 He played at Vanderbilt, and then he went to the Braves, and now he's with the Cubs.

00:22:45.460 What is your husband thinking about this?

00:22:47.220 Um, well, my husband kind of looks like him, so...

00:22:50.060 That's good.

00:22:50.580 Yeah, hopefully that makes him feel good.

00:22:52.140 It's like my wife's celebrity crush is Denzel.

00:22:55.180 Oh, you guys look just like...

00:22:56.380 And so it's like totally fine, yeah.

00:22:57.500 No, y'all are like twins.

00:22:58.900 Yeah, I know.

00:22:59.240 If y'all...

00:22:59.760 If he was sitting here, I...

00:23:00.720 He'd say, who's the real Michael?

00:23:02.140 I don't...

00:23:02.660 Who do I?

00:23:03.180 Yeah, that's good.

00:23:03.880 That's so funny.

00:23:04.380 Okay.

00:23:04.840 My turn.

00:23:05.380 You're up.

00:23:05.940 Okay.

00:23:06.700 Should the federal government pay for maternity leave? 1.00

00:23:11.300 Ooh.

00:23:12.040 This feels testy.

00:23:13.480 How does it work now?

00:23:14.860 I guess companies, obviously.

00:23:16.640 Your employer.

00:23:17.220 Your employer pays?

00:23:17.800 Yeah.

00:23:18.340 Right?

00:23:20.460 Um...

00:23:20.900 You know, this is something I truthfully don't feel like I know a ton about, which is funny

00:23:26.020 given I'm seven months pregnant.

00:23:27.820 You better figure it out.

00:23:28.720 When you go on maternity leave, is it like a national policy or is it a policy that your

00:23:33.480 workplace...

00:23:34.400 I guess, obviously, it's a policy your employer puts into place of how much time you get off.

00:23:40.280 But if your employer is a cheapskate, the way they get away with it is they have you file

00:23:44.040 for short-term disability.

00:23:45.500 Okay.

00:23:45.880 And that...

00:23:46.360 So you get some of your salary.

00:23:47.800 So then it's like...

00:23:48.100 But it's not...

00:23:48.660 You wouldn't really call that maternity leave.

00:23:50.300 Interesting.

00:23:50.420 Like in France, you get 16 years or something, I think, off of your job.

00:23:53.160 It really is crazy.

00:23:54.320 Switzerland, I do think it's like a full year.

00:23:56.740 Yeah.

00:23:57.000 You don't have to work.

00:23:57.920 Even paternity leave.

00:23:59.000 Like the dads get...

00:24:00.940 Should there be...

00:24:02.380 Time off.

00:24:02.880 Okay, wait.

00:24:03.540 So I'm guessing how you feel.

00:24:04.840 She got it wrong.

00:24:10.260 You know why?

00:24:11.060 You would have gotten it right.

00:24:12.120 I thought you were going to be of the mind that...

00:24:15.280 These companies got to take care of themselves.

00:24:16.860 Yeah, no handouts, right?

00:24:17.660 No handouts.

00:24:18.280 Like why would the American people pay for that?

00:24:20.360 I'll tell you why.

00:24:21.100 Okay.

00:24:21.660 One, yeah, I think there are a bunch of problems with the federal maternity leave policy.

00:24:26.100 It would violate subsidiarity.

00:24:27.760 It would create all sorts of moral hazards.

00:24:29.880 It would be a big problem.

00:24:31.100 So there are other better ways to do it.

00:24:32.740 Okay.

00:24:32.900 Now, I do sort of support about 18 years of maternity leave for women.

00:24:36.440 I think it's probably...

00:24:37.360 It's like generally a better lifestyle.

00:24:39.860 But the reason that I would support a family policy at the national level like this is because

00:24:46.080 basically the only policy that matters right now is getting people to have more kids.

00:24:53.300 That's fully in line with the messaging of Elon and...

00:24:58.020 Definitely Elon.

00:24:58.860 Definitely.

00:24:59.840 Well, considering he has like 15 or 14.

00:25:03.140 That's great.

00:25:03.780 That's great.

00:25:04.360 We should also have, you know, marriage incentives and things like that too.

00:25:10.540 But don't you think that creates a lot of room for people to totally abuse?

00:25:16.080 If they get married...

00:25:16.860 Look, I don't want some welfare queen with 15 baby daddies. 1.00

00:25:19.640 Well, what if they're not married?

00:25:19.860 Well, that's...

00:25:20.360 They should get married.

00:25:21.660 Okay.

00:25:21.880 We should redefine marriage to be what it is, which is not like three dudes and a billy goat.

00:25:26.140 It's like a man and a woman. 0.99

00:25:26.720 Really?

00:25:27.260 And it's very confusing.

00:25:29.220 I know.

00:25:29.760 I know.

00:25:30.540 But I would be willing.

00:25:33.140 Every dollar that we waste on, I don't know, the NIH or give to, you know, some foreign country,

00:25:41.880 if we just paid that to women to get married and spit out as many kids as possible, I would be all for it. 1.00

00:25:49.920 That would require the cutting of those funds, though, and there's no chance.

00:25:53.940 But yes, yes, in a perfect world.

00:25:56.280 We've got to get Elon back in, who's very pro-natal, so he might come back for this cause, 1.00

00:26:00.880 cut out all that waste, fraud and abuse, whatever.

00:26:03.040 But look, there's always more money in the banana stand.

00:26:05.480 Of course.

00:26:06.100 We're the global empire.

00:26:07.040 We can find the money.

00:26:07.740 It is so many of the problems that we deal with.

00:26:10.960 Migration.

00:26:11.720 The excuse for mass migration is, well, we need Americans to fill these jobs. 0.61

00:26:15.580 We need people to sustain the entitlement programs.

00:26:17.040 We need all these excuses.

00:26:18.140 You just have to get people to have kids. 0.94

00:26:20.720 So any way that you do that, promoting religion publicly, limiting contraception, banning abortion,

00:26:29.020 turning porn off, you know, banning porn, redefining marriage, making divorce hard,

00:26:34.380 like, whatever the boxes are, people need to spit out kids.

00:26:38.060 And that's why, Riley, I want to thank you for doing your patriotic duty to our country.

00:26:41.480 I'm doing my service to America.

00:26:44.320 That's so funny.

00:26:45.140 Can you tell the people, it's not so bad, having a kid.

00:26:47.800 No, I've had, I really have.

00:26:50.000 Truthfully, maybe I'm one of those annoying people that, like, I mean, most women I talk 1.00

00:26:54.780 to, they're like, you're so lucky.

00:26:56.100 But truthfully, bottom of my heart, it has been, like, a breeze thus far.

00:27:01.600 That's because you're a super fit.

00:27:03.360 That's the only reason.

00:27:04.360 I don't know about super fit anymore.

00:27:07.660 I think at one point.

00:27:09.980 I'm hoping it all bounces back.

00:27:11.580 How far can you run?

00:27:12.360 How far do you run in the morning?

00:27:14.720 This morning, I ran eight miles.

00:27:16.840 I watched eight miles one time.

00:27:18.220 That's the closest I ever came to running eight miles.

00:27:20.280 I watched it once.

00:27:21.020 Started at, like, 4.45 this morning because I try and beat the heat.

00:27:26.460 I'm so used to waking up so early because of swimming.

00:27:29.200 We practice it.

00:27:30.380 You know, you're in the water at 5 a.m.

00:27:32.720 So I'm, like, classically conditioned at this point, and I think for the rest of my life,

00:27:38.400 which is actually incredibly frustrating, to wake up, like, ridiculously early.

00:27:44.580 Hopefully that sets me up well for motherhood as well.

00:27:47.080 Yeah, that will.

00:27:47.960 So started running, round 4.45, ran about eight miles, tried to get out in front of it before the sun, before the heat.

00:27:56.740 You can't beat it here in Nashville, unfortunately.

00:27:59.100 So did that.

00:27:59.660 Then I went and lifted me and my – I, like, have the coolest family ever.

00:28:05.500 Like, I'm so blessed to have the family that I do.

00:28:07.960 We all live here.

00:28:08.920 We all are super close to each other, all my siblings.

00:28:11.300 So it's super fun because me, my mom, my dad, my older sister, my younger sister, my grandma, we work out together every single day.

00:28:19.480 Your grandma?

00:28:20.240 Yes.

00:28:21.140 Yes.

00:28:21.480 That's so – I hate to make it all about me.

00:28:24.280 That makes me feel so bad.

00:28:27.600 Well.

00:28:27.820 That your – do you know the last time I worked out?

00:28:32.380 It's such, like, a dopamine release, no?

00:28:34.780 It was – I want to say the Obama administration.

00:28:38.180 There's a chance it was early.

00:28:39.660 Trump won.

00:28:40.560 Yeah, I know.

00:28:41.200 Like, the Ford administration.

00:28:42.860 Your grandma?

00:28:44.540 She's a beast. 1.00

00:28:45.220 A woman – a lady doesn't say it. 0.99

00:28:46.400 She's 70.

00:28:47.600 70?

00:28:48.340 Yeah.

00:28:48.620 And she's just out there.

00:28:50.240 Yeah.

00:28:50.660 Wow.

00:28:50.860 She is.

00:28:51.460 We just went to Denver, you know, 7,000-ish feet up, and we're hiking together, and she's

00:28:57.680 just a rock star.

00:28:58.840 So I'm very fortunate to have the family I do.

00:29:00.840 So we'll work out all that to say.

00:29:02.460 Typically, we work out in the mornings, but I think tonight, me, my little sister, and my

00:29:06.160 dad are going to work out together.

00:29:07.920 So –

00:29:08.500 And your great-grandmother.

00:29:09.580 And my great-grandmother.

00:29:10.300 And your great-great-grandmother.

00:29:11.180 Yes, exactly.

00:29:11.800 Yeah, that's true.

00:29:12.740 If I were pregnant, if I could become pregnant, if I were a seahorse, I would be on bed rest

00:29:17.920 from the first trimester.

00:29:20.240 Well, this is why –

00:29:22.360 I'm undercutting my pronatal history.

00:29:23.940 My husband said to me, actually, the other day, he was like, women are just so inefficient.

00:29:27.520 Like, if I was pregnant, I would pop this baby out in two months.

00:29:29.960 Like, can't you just be a little more efficient with it?

00:29:31.820 I'm like, yeah.

00:29:32.760 Sorry, let me just try a little harder.

00:29:34.220 Wow.

00:29:34.560 Okay.

00:29:34.780 Do you trust your dentist when he says root canals and fluoride are safe, or do you think

00:29:42.340 he's part of Big Tooth?

00:29:44.100 Big Tooth.

00:29:45.220 I like this.

00:29:46.180 You've got to take on the – 0.94

00:29:47.060 So I'm guessing what you say?

00:29:48.980 No, I'm guessing what you would say.

00:29:50.640 Oh.

00:29:51.180 Do you trust your dentist when he says root canals are part of – we need to take on

00:29:56.100 Big Tooth.

00:29:57.640 There's like a big everything.

00:29:58.980 Big grocery.

00:29:59.840 Mm-hmm.

00:30:00.400 Big.

00:30:00.800 You know, St. Augustine writes about, I think in City of God, that he was walking

00:30:06.060 along the beach and came across a molar tooth the size of some 50 or 100 human molar

00:30:13.840 tooths, and he felt it was the tooth of a giant.

00:30:17.220 Okay.

00:30:17.940 That's the only big tooth I had considered.

00:30:19.800 The big tooth?

00:30:20.320 Yes.

00:30:20.840 It's like Bigfoot.

00:30:21.920 Ah.

00:30:22.460 Big tooth.

00:30:23.840 Do you trust your dentist?

00:30:27.240 I know my answer.

00:30:31.260 Yes.

00:30:32.520 I said yes.

00:30:33.280 Yeah, of course.

00:30:34.300 Wow.

00:30:34.540 That was – you were trying to psych me out there.

00:30:36.100 Did I?

00:30:36.600 Yeah, that was –

00:30:37.220 I am – so prior to the infamous race with the man, I was in dental school to be an

00:30:45.940 endodontist.

00:30:46.840 That's right.

00:30:47.800 Yes.

00:30:48.140 I remember that.

00:30:48.720 Yes.

00:30:49.320 So, maybe this will make some of the crunchy people and some of the, you know, like, super

00:30:56.680 ma-ha people angry, but, I mean, we've been using toothpaste with fluoride, mouthwash 0.95

00:31:04.500 with fluoride.

00:31:05.480 When you go to the dentist, they put that stuff on your teeth.

00:31:07.700 They put fluoride on your teeth.

00:31:08.960 Like, we've been doing that for, I mean, years.

00:31:12.060 Mm-hmm.

00:31:12.960 I'm of the mind that – I don't believe in big tooth.

00:31:16.980 No.

00:31:17.540 No.

00:31:17.960 Only –

00:31:18.440 These are the clips, okay?

00:31:19.220 Appropriately sized tooth.

00:31:20.500 Yeah.

00:31:21.060 I don't believe in big tooth.

00:31:22.280 Mediaite.

00:31:22.800 I don't believe in big tooth.

00:31:24.640 Riley Gaines.

00:31:25.580 Wow.

00:31:25.780 And I will kick an orphan. 0.69

00:31:26.940 Yeah.

00:31:27.620 In the head.

00:31:28.300 In the head.

00:31:29.140 Knock out his tooth, maybe.

00:31:30.400 Yes.

00:31:30.880 Wow.

00:31:31.600 That's – I remember that you were in dental school because I have a very good friend

00:31:35.140 here who saw you when you first came to prominence and said, Michael, do you know Riley Gaines?

00:31:41.100 I said, yeah.

00:31:41.680 I didn't know whose accent this is.

00:31:42.980 Yeah.

00:31:43.320 It's very – it's very southern.

00:31:44.820 It could be anyone in Nashville.

00:31:46.900 He said, but, you know, a gentleman of a certain age.

00:31:49.180 Okay.

00:31:49.320 Do you know Riley Gaines?

00:31:50.520 I said, yeah, I do.

00:31:52.160 He goes, well, she – I was listening to her speak, and she said she was going to be

00:31:57.920 a dentist, but she should not be a dentist. 0.87

00:32:00.300 She's doing something much more important, and she's on her own path, and she's very,

00:32:05.260 very beautiful.

00:32:06.300 I said, okay, well, hold on.

00:32:07.500 Now, hold on.

00:32:07.960 I'm going to – I don't know if I'm introducing you at any point to Riley Gaines, but I remember

00:32:12.880 I thought, that's so funny.

00:32:13.940 You were on this path.

00:32:16.000 You were going to – and then it was a complete 90.

00:32:19.220 Yeah.

00:32:20.140 Like, totally.

00:32:20.280 So I can get a root canal.

00:32:21.240 I just recently heard about this.

00:32:22.380 The root canals give you the plague or something.

00:32:25.660 All sorts of –

00:32:26.860 Is that true?

00:32:28.280 Who knows?

00:32:28.980 They come up –

00:32:29.320 Hold on.

00:32:29.600 It feels like new things every single day.

00:32:31.860 But the fluoride thing, like, what has – the amount of times that I've gone to the dentist

00:32:38.300 because I have a gum that is a little exposed on my back, molar, whatever it is, no cavity

00:32:46.220 present, but just a little receded gum, and they put fluoride on, it feels better.

00:32:52.480 And, like, I'm not of the mind to necessarily question that or believe it's giving me bad

00:32:58.260 health.

00:32:58.460 I'm seven months pregnant.

00:32:59.160 I feel great.

00:33:00.000 Yeah.

00:33:00.280 So, it's wrong.

00:33:00.640 You ran eight miles with M&M this morning.

00:33:03.020 Exactly.

00:33:03.480 Yeah, that's true.

00:33:04.280 Exactly.

00:33:04.540 Well, what about – hold on.

00:33:05.400 You hedged on the root canal.

00:33:06.720 I just heard about it.

00:33:07.400 I never – I luckily haven't had one yet, but I think I'm close on a tooth.

00:33:11.420 And I'd never heard that root canals, you know, turn the frogs gay or whatever.

00:33:16.860 Well, I think any time you're getting to the nerve, which has, of course, connections

00:33:24.740 with your bloodstream and all the stuff you're risking, disease, infection.

00:33:30.260 Is it okay if I get my wisdom teeth out?

00:33:32.300 Do you still have them?

00:33:33.200 I know.

00:33:34.120 I should have gotten all of them.

00:33:34.940 All four of them?

00:33:35.380 All of them.

00:33:36.160 Wow.

00:33:36.680 I know.

00:33:36.980 And they're all kind of crowding my mouth.

00:33:39.240 Do you feel like your teeth are shifting?

00:33:40.580 They are shifting.

00:33:41.520 And I wear my retainer every night.

00:33:42.900 I'm giving a lot of juice right now.

00:33:44.460 I know.

00:33:45.200 So many.

00:33:45.740 They are.

00:33:46.120 They're shifting.

00:33:46.800 And it was annoying.

00:33:47.440 Like, one kind of moved a little.

00:33:48.480 And I said, I've got to get them out.

00:33:49.400 Do you feel it will not be as fun to recover now if you did it when you were, like, 14?

00:33:55.080 Yeah.

00:33:55.380 They told me that.

00:33:56.400 I, yeah.

00:33:57.260 I got my bottom two out.

00:33:58.640 Okay.

00:33:59.060 But I didn't get my top two.

00:34:00.060 I heard you got it.

00:34:00.860 If you get the one done, then you don't want tooth on skin or whatever.

00:34:05.420 That's fake news.

00:34:06.940 Do you have skin in your mouth?

00:34:08.120 I don't have skin in my mouth.

00:34:08.740 I don't know.

00:34:08.760 Or whatever.

00:34:09.160 I don't know what gums are made of.

00:34:10.400 I don't, like.

00:34:11.560 Dermis.

00:34:12.100 Plastic?

00:34:12.780 I don't.

00:34:13.000 Dermis?

00:34:13.700 Wait.

00:34:14.500 No.

00:34:15.560 Hold on.

00:34:16.180 Can I get away with only getting, like, two of my teeth out?

00:34:20.020 I guess.

00:34:20.760 I did.

00:34:22.020 Yeah.

00:34:22.940 I should my bottom ones.

00:34:24.140 Wow.

00:34:24.420 I didn't need my top ones.

00:34:26.160 I said I'm going to get my teeth out on a Friday.

00:34:28.900 I'm going to do my show on a Monday.

00:34:31.080 You'd be puffy.

00:34:32.080 I'll be puffy.

00:34:32.820 You'd be puffy.

00:34:33.500 I think you could do it, though.

00:34:34.820 Thanks.

00:34:35.700 Yeah.

00:34:36.320 Because all those years of Little League.

00:34:38.780 It prepared you.

00:34:39.840 They did.

00:34:40.660 It prepared you.

00:34:41.480 It prepared me to be mocked and made fun of.

00:34:43.440 Yeah.

00:34:43.780 You're right.

00:34:44.080 You know, you've heard me talk about balance of nature many times before.

00:34:47.720 That's because balance of nature fruits and veggies is the most convenient way to get

00:34:51.420 whole fruits and vegetables daily, especially if you're focused on creating a healthier,

00:34:55.060 happier lifestyle.

00:34:56.420 Nature is pretty good at giving us the nutrients that we need through our fruits and veggies.

00:35:01.480 So balance of nature takes fruits and veggies, freeze dries them, turns them into

00:35:04.580 a powder, and then puts them into a capsule.

00:35:06.580 You take your fruits and veggies capsules every day, and then your body knows what to do

00:35:11.200 with them.

00:35:11.440 Balance of nature is just one ingredient of a balanced lifestyle.

00:35:14.560 No intention to replace a healthy diet, exercise, sleep, or any other healthy habits, of which

00:35:19.920 I have many in abundance.

00:35:21.820 It is intended to be used in concert with those other healthy habits.

00:35:25.660 Look at me.

00:35:26.740 Look at me as a paragon, not only of health and physical stamina, but if you don't believe

00:35:35.180 that, I'm friends with Riley Gaines, who is.

00:36:13.320 You know what this is right now?

00:36:14.400 Huh?

00:36:15.140 The rapid fire round.

00:36:16.680 Is it?

00:36:18.040 So it's just like quick now.

00:36:22.640 Red lights.

00:36:23.380 You see that?

00:36:23.840 That feels like, okay, so I'm going to read these all at once.

00:36:29.040 Is that what's happening?

00:36:29.820 I think.

00:36:30.300 You're going to read them, then we're going to answer, then you're going to keep reading.

00:36:33.120 We're not going to talk.

00:36:33.760 Basically, it's just a way for Davies to tell me to shut up.

00:36:36.880 He says shut up, and we're going to do it really fast.

00:36:39.780 Okay.

00:36:40.580 I'm thinking about my answer before I'm reading it.

00:36:42.300 Okay, ready?

00:36:42.720 Well, I need to think about your answer.

00:36:46.600 Okay.

00:36:48.700 Ready.

00:36:50.460 Is Will Smith a closet homosexual?

00:36:57.400 Correct.

00:36:58.000 No, he's probably, like, he might have done weird.

00:37:00.220 He slapped Chris Rock in the face, right?

00:37:01.720 Yeah.

00:37:02.120 No, he might have done weird stuff with guys.

00:37:03.620 I don't know.

00:37:04.240 I don't know yes or no on that.

00:37:05.740 But he's definitely done weird stuff with girls, too.

00:37:09.600 Did you see he has a new song out?

00:37:11.340 It's called Pretty Girls. 1.00

00:37:12.320 I saw that.

00:37:13.140 You should watch the video.

00:37:14.160 Yeah, I know I did watch it.

00:37:15.160 We should insert a clip of the video right here.

00:37:16.800 It's pretty cool.

00:37:17.000 It's kind of like the Will doth protest too much, me thinks.

00:37:20.300 Yeah, definitely.

00:37:21.940 It's true.

00:37:22.620 Is there a concerted effort in the expert community to discredit historical evidence of a world flood to delegitimize the biblical account?

00:37:30.100 I need to read that again.

00:37:31.320 Do you want me to read that again?

00:37:32.380 Is there a concerted effort in the expert community to discredit historical evidence of a world flood to delegitimize the biblical account?

00:37:43.840 Wrong.

00:37:46.860 Wrong.

00:37:47.480 But this is a little bit of a cute answer.

00:37:49.220 Wrong as in I got your answer wrong.

00:37:51.300 You got my answer wrong.

00:37:52.200 There's not, it's not a concerted effort.

00:37:53.980 Okay.

00:37:54.240 In the sense that there's no grand conspiracy to keep it down.

00:37:57.700 It's just the miasma of liberalism and materialism is just impelling all of these people to deny what obviously occurred.

00:38:05.500 But I don't think it's, I don't think they talk to each other.

00:38:07.880 I just think it kind of happens.

00:38:09.560 So you were hung up on that word concerted.

00:38:11.540 Concerted.

00:38:12.140 I didn't even really look at that word.

00:38:14.620 I was just like, yes, I do think there are people doing this.

00:38:18.180 Okay, interesting.

00:38:18.960 Okay.

00:38:20.220 Is sunscreen to blame for the spike in skin cancer that began in the 1970s when it became popular in the United States?

00:38:28.640 Got it wrong.

00:38:29.460 Yes, it is.

00:38:30.360 You know why I think that?

00:38:31.880 I wouldn't have said that a year ago.

00:38:33.600 Okay.

00:38:33.900 Because sweet little Elisa, my beloved bride.

00:38:36.620 Okay.

00:38:37.340 Is, she got into all this stuff.

00:38:40.000 Okay.

00:38:40.180 And now she makes us get the chalk sunscreen and she makes me wear the beef tallow deodorant, which is $22 a can or a jar or whatever it is.

00:38:50.360 And I thought it was all ridiculous.

00:38:54.000 I don't know, man, that Illumina.

00:38:55.420 But what changed your mind?

00:38:56.780 Like, do you know someone who got skin cancer because of sunscreen?

00:39:00.640 No, my wife has just propagandized me so much now. 1.00

00:39:03.920 And, and I'll tell you what, she, she got me.

00:39:06.660 But does she know someone?

00:39:08.660 No.

00:39:08.880 No, there's no, like, direct evidence of any of this.

00:39:11.560 It's all kind of, like, crunchy gobbledygook.

00:39:13.100 This is, like, big tooth.

00:39:13.860 Big sunscreen.

00:39:14.720 This is big sunscreen.

00:39:15.420 Big skin.

00:39:16.080 Big skin.

00:39:16.680 Big dermis.

00:39:17.620 Yeah.

00:39:18.280 It, the thing that convinced me.

00:39:21.740 Okay.

00:39:22.180 Was the first, the first crunchy shot across the bow was the cedar oils.

00:39:26.700 Okay.

00:39:26.980 And she said, if you stop eating cedar oils, you won't get as much of a sunburn.

00:39:31.000 Now, I'm a rather dark guy for a white guy.

00:39:34.060 But I would burn.

00:39:34.960 I'd burn a lot.

00:39:35.540 Especially as a teenager in my 20s, I'd burned a lot, even though I'd get dark.

00:39:39.320 And then Elisa cuts out the seed oils.

00:39:43.280 I don't really get sunburns anymore.

00:39:45.640 I thought, okay, well, if the seed oils have fallen, if, if the crunchy weirdos are right

00:39:51.140 about the seed oils.

00:39:52.980 They could be right about other stuff.

00:39:54.580 About the aluminum.

00:39:55.840 Okay.

00:39:56.240 In the deodorant and the sunscreen.

00:40:00.560 Interesting.

00:40:01.300 Is there aluminum in sunscreen?

00:40:02.860 I don't know.

00:40:03.840 I, I think so.

00:40:06.800 There, yeah, sure.

00:40:07.860 I have a hard time, like, even looking into all that stuff, truthfully, because I think

00:40:12.740 it's more so I don't want it.

00:40:14.460 Like, I don't, I, it's ignorance is bliss for me.

00:40:16.880 It's like the, it's the red pill and the blue pill.

00:40:18.740 Yeah, it's like.

00:40:19.320 Because if you, if you take the red pill on this stuff, your household costs are going

00:40:25.040 to increase about eightfold.

00:40:25.880 It seems really, really hard to implement.

00:40:28.280 It's so, it's so expensive that I need to do a podcast so that I can be sponsored by Vandy

00:40:36.080 Crisps so that I can get delicious potato chips without seed oils.

00:40:39.780 I hope they're watching this.

00:40:40.820 I know.

00:40:41.180 I hope they're, that's a freebie.

00:40:42.540 You get, that's a freebie, but I'll, I'll evangelize that product all day.

00:40:45.260 It, you have to.

00:40:48.780 Yeah.

00:40:49.600 But this is, this is why.

00:40:50.920 And this is, this is how the whole society has collapsed.

00:40:54.800 And we say, well, it's a little cheaper.

00:40:56.280 Oh, we'll drive.

00:40:57.200 Okay, we'll import the games.

00:40:58.260 I do fall victim to that.

00:40:59.560 Yeah, of course.

00:41:00.140 I do.

00:41:00.620 I'll tick GDP up.

00:41:01.880 Oh, we won't have kids because we can, well, spend money on this and that.

00:41:06.500 And that's cheaper and this.

00:41:07.920 And then what happens?

00:41:08.480 But my thing is, like, if that's the mindset you have, everything could cause cancer.

00:41:13.320 Everything.

00:41:13.940 Like, if you, if, if you're going to go there, you would live a pretty,

00:41:18.300 what I would believe to be a pretty miserable life.

00:41:22.640 If you restrict yourself from everything, which that's effectively what you would be doing.

00:41:27.240 I, I don't wear the, the, well, if I'm with my wife, I don't wear the modern sunscreen.

00:41:33.440 I wear whatever goop she gives me.

00:41:35.260 Okay.

00:41:35.480 I don't use the modern deodorants.

00:41:37.980 I use the whatever goop she gives me.

00:41:38.880 That's why you smell bad.

00:41:39.880 That's why I smell.

00:41:41.120 I'm kidding.

00:41:41.880 Do you know why I smell bad?

00:41:42.680 Because of the flip side.

00:41:44.320 And I actually think, I think it's a great smell, but some disagree.

00:41:48.040 I own a cigar company.

00:41:50.220 I own.

00:41:50.960 So I won't put the, or whatever, the sunscreen on, because of the risks of cancer.

00:41:57.260 I own a cigar company.

00:41:58.500 I smoke a billion cigars a day.

00:42:00.080 Like, everyone has their vice.

00:42:02.760 If my vice is going to be.

00:42:04.960 I don't think cigars are a vice, by the way, but that's a conversation for another time.

00:42:08.280 If my vice is energy drinks.

00:42:10.980 Yeah.

00:42:11.420 I love them.

00:42:12.200 Yeah.

00:42:12.560 Do you?

00:42:12.680 I drink at least one a day.

00:42:14.500 What's your poison?

00:42:15.140 What do you, what do you, what do you drink?

00:42:16.320 Even Alani.

00:42:16.900 Have you ever heard of that?

00:42:17.620 I've never even heard of that.

00:42:18.840 It's like a total marketing.

00:42:20.780 No, not really.

00:42:21.660 It's like, I mean, you can get it at a gas station.

00:42:23.660 It's just a total marketing thing, I think, that especially appeals to women, because the 1.00

00:42:29.260 cans are so cute.

00:42:30.580 And they get me.

00:42:31.760 Like, I understand.

00:42:33.140 Like, I'm an influencer's dream.

00:42:35.440 Yeah.

00:42:35.680 I'm basically begging you to influence me.

00:42:37.560 Yeah, yeah.

00:42:37.960 Like, I will buy that product.

00:42:39.160 Do you smoke cigars?

00:42:40.860 Does your kid want a secondhand cigar right now?

00:42:43.540 That's what she's been saying to me.

00:42:45.500 A mother knows. 1.00

00:42:46.640 Yes, exactly.

00:42:47.140 A mother knows. 1.00

00:42:48.060 Okay.

00:42:48.180 So, everyone has advice.

00:42:49.780 Yeah.

00:42:50.280 I'm not going to let mine be sunscreen.

00:42:53.200 Aluminum.

00:42:54.060 Aluminum.

00:42:54.720 Give me a box of Mayflower so I can get to ride it.

00:42:57.420 This is the rapid fire round.

00:42:58.740 That's why the red light is on.

00:43:00.640 As long as Libby Dunn doesn't join OnlyFans, she's a good example of how female athletes 1.00

00:43:04.600 should conduct themselves.

00:43:08.300 Well, as long as, like, given what she's already done, or is it just like that's the

00:43:13.860 only standard?

00:43:15.020 Read it one more time.

00:43:15.640 As long as Libby Dunn does not join OnlyFans, she is a good example of how female athletes 1.00

00:43:21.640 should conduct themselves.

00:43:22.480 I feel pretty torn on this.

00:43:24.320 Did you ever answer?

00:43:28.700 Mm-hmm.

00:43:29.360 I said yes.

00:43:31.140 I said yes.

00:43:32.120 Yeah, because you weren't going to throw shade.

00:43:33.160 I've only heard of Libby Dunn in the context of the TikTok Riz Party and Skibbity Toilet,

00:43:38.060 and I didn't know who she was until today, and she popped up on my Twitter, and I didn't

00:43:42.300 know she was even a real person.

00:43:44.100 But, and she's not on OnlyFans.

00:43:46.300 No.

00:43:46.720 Okay.

00:43:47.240 Well, it's rapid.

00:43:47.680 Incredibly fit.

00:43:48.140 Very fit.

00:43:48.920 She's beautiful.

00:43:50.700 She's done a fantastic job of marketing herself and her abilities and profiting off that, 0.99

00:43:57.260 which I can respect.

00:43:58.380 But, um, I think there are some things that she does that I'm, like, maybe questionable

00:44:04.140 to be, like, young girls.

00:44:04.760 What is it?

00:44:04.780 I don't care that this is rapid fire.

00:44:06.040 I want the tea.

00:44:06.640 I don't care it's rapid fire.

00:44:07.980 Well, I think a lot of her content is very, like, revealing.

00:44:11.700 Mm-hmm.

00:44:12.200 But, I think, again, I approach that a little different than most conservatives do, given

00:44:17.300 that I played a sport where, I mean, you're essentially half naked all the time.

00:44:21.140 Yeah, yeah.

00:44:21.680 Like, to me, a man in a Speedo, like, it's, I'm not talking about San Francisco Pride,

00:44:27.200 though, that's a little different, especially when kids are around, but, like, it's, I think

00:44:31.300 I'm a little more desensitized, or, yeah, like, to me, that's, like, whatever, it's kind

00:44:37.140 of standard.

00:44:38.060 But, I do think she's a bit, can be a bit revealing. 0.88

00:44:41.080 Mm-hmm.

00:44:41.480 Because she's, like, dating this guy now, my speculation is they don't actually like

00:44:46.420 each other at all.

00:44:47.120 Paul Skeens?

00:44:47.980 Paul Skeens?

00:44:48.900 How, who would not know Paul, who is Paul Skeens?

00:44:52.420 You're the baseball guy.

00:44:53.880 He's the, um...

00:44:54.560 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:44:55.900 So, there, he played baseball at LSU.

00:44:57.860 Yeah, yeah.

00:44:58.640 Now he's in the big leagues and all this.

00:45:00.760 Rookie of the year, all this stuff.

00:45:02.100 Oh, interesting.

00:45:02.580 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:45:03.000 I don't think they actually like each other.

00:45:04.740 How old is she? 0.98

00:45:06.400 My age, maybe?

00:45:07.280 She is, okay.

00:45:07.980 Maybe younger than me, a year younger.

00:45:09.480 Okay, wow.

00:45:10.260 But, I think, as a whole, uh, she's done a pretty good job of maintaining her image

00:45:18.240 and being somewhat of a role model to young girls.

00:45:20.920 Yeah.

00:45:21.680 That's good.

00:45:22.020 I'm glad to hear it.

00:45:22.800 Mostly because I, I wear a Speedo around the Daily Wire.

00:45:25.100 Yeah.

00:45:25.460 So, I'm glad that that's not appropriate.

00:45:26.340 No, like, it would be, if I saw that, I would just be like, oh, there's Denzel.

00:45:30.200 There is.

00:45:32.140 Like, oh, there he is.

00:45:33.540 What's he doing here?

00:45:34.220 I loved you in training day.

00:45:35.840 Okay, the second rapid-fire question.

00:45:37.780 We're moving too fast.

00:45:39.040 Is homosexuality more nature than nurture? 1.00

00:45:43.340 More nature than nurture.

00:45:46.140 Would you say?

00:45:52.080 Wait, more?

00:45:53.400 More nature than nurture.

00:45:54.740 They're born this way more than, you know, they had an absent father and an overbearing mother.

00:46:06.000 You're going to say yes.

00:46:07.280 I say no.

00:46:07.840 I got it wrong.

00:46:08.540 I mean, I thought you were going to be a little more moderate and live on it.

00:46:11.100 No.

00:46:11.420 Yeah, you say it's nurture.

00:46:12.380 No, I'm very much of the mindset of, it is interesting, this conversation, and I, like,

00:46:20.700 I've allowed my brain to go there several times of thinking, you know, what does this

00:46:26.280 really look like?

00:46:26.920 Because you can't deny there are some, like, little kids who, super-duper-duper feminine. 1.00

00:46:32.940 Little Liberace's.

00:46:33.980 Like, little, like, young, like, you can just tell they're going to be gay when they're older. 0.99

00:46:39.060 Yeah, yeah.

00:46:39.720 That was, like, when Ben Davies was a kid.

00:46:42.860 Yeah.

00:46:43.260 Oh, my gosh.

00:46:43.980 Is that the guy who messed up these questions?

00:46:45.280 It is.

00:46:46.120 That's him, actually.

00:46:47.520 Yeah.

00:46:48.340 So, like, it would be an interesting conversation to, like, to really look into and understand,

00:46:54.300 but I'm more of the mindset, I think, especially today, seeing the social contagion of it, that

00:46:59.900 aspect of it, I'm way more of the mindset that it is more of nurture than nurture.

00:47:04.280 Yeah, there's a huge social contagion without question, and then guys in prison, you know,

00:47:08.140 do weird stuff.

00:47:08.720 And so, obviously, that's true.

00:47:10.060 The only thing that has kind of, I don't, I'm not saying there's, like, a gay gene necessarily

00:47:16.260 or anything, but that has kind of nature-pilled me on those who are a little light in the loafers

00:47:21.240 is, have you, there's some study that says, if you got, you got your hand right here like

00:47:26.920 this, right?

00:47:27.700 So, you see, my finger is, and yours too, is the ring to index finger ratio.

00:47:36.460 So, you see how-

00:47:37.340 We passed the straight test.

00:47:38.460 You're a straight, because your ring is bigger, is notably bigger than your index. 0.64

00:47:43.520 It goes up higher.

00:47:44.480 For homosexuals, apparently-

00:47:46.000 What would you do if you said this and mine were the same size?

00:47:48.420 Well, I don't know if it applies to chicks. 1.00

00:47:49.920 That'd be crazy if we found it.

00:47:51.260 It'd be like, you are a gay man. 0.99

00:47:52.560 We diagnosed it.

00:47:53.120 Will Thomas was right.

00:47:54.380 Right here.

00:47:56.060 So, for a gay guy, if it's like, if it's more, put it like this. 0.58

00:48:01.820 If they're even, apparently, that's more likely for gay guys. 0.73

00:48:04.600 The other thing is, for most guys, their part is like my part, which is on the left side

00:48:09.480 of your head.

00:48:09.900 It goes down.

00:48:11.520 For gay guys, they're much more likely to be on the right side of their head. 1.00

00:48:14.900 Now, again, this doesn't mean that if you have these natural dispositions or something-

00:48:20.840 But is the hair part really natural?

00:48:22.180 You can change your hair part.

00:48:23.800 There's a natural aspect to your part.

00:48:26.040 Yeah, but like, I think back to me in sixth grade when the side part was everything.

00:48:29.920 Did you have-

00:48:30.700 Did you do that thing-

00:48:31.360 Duh, I had the side part.

00:48:32.580 Did you do the thing those girls did that was so annoying, where they- 0.98

00:48:36.720 Like, there was this one year, I think it was 2013, where every girl decided to just

00:48:40.420 shave off half their head.

00:48:41.460 Okay.

00:48:41.880 You remember that thing?

00:48:42.540 Me in sixth grade was definitely not doing that.

00:48:45.620 But there were some people, even at my-

00:48:49.420 I mean, I would say it's a pretty conservative public school here in Tennessee-

00:48:52.960 Yeah, yeah.

00:48:54.480 Who definitely did.

00:48:55.680 Wow.

00:48:56.300 It was a thing.

00:48:56.940 It was like, that was like the Tumblr era.

00:48:58.900 Yes.

00:48:59.020 You know, like the, yeah, definitely.

00:49:01.560 Like the aesthetic of it.

00:49:02.660 Mm-hmm.

00:49:02.920 I was a VSCO guy.

00:49:04.540 I'm a VSCO.

00:49:05.160 Ooh, VSCO.

00:49:05.700 I heard about that.

00:49:06.480 You say were, and then am.

00:49:08.000 So are you currently-

00:49:09.960 I am.

00:49:09.980 I found out about that word.

00:49:11.380 I had a babysitter.

00:49:12.480 Not like, it was for my kids.

00:49:14.020 And this, she said something about VSCO, I guess, or whatever.

00:49:16.980 I don't know what that was.

00:49:17.840 I still don't really know what that is.

00:49:19.640 But I'm that.

00:49:20.640 I do want to be that.

00:49:21.240 It seems hip and cool.

00:49:22.020 Yeah, it is.

00:49:22.500 I found out.

00:49:23.300 My natural part is over here, because I'm a big fanook.

00:49:26.420 No, I'm kidding.

00:49:27.100 Yeah.

00:49:27.420 It's not, it is on the left, but it's a little bit more, it's a little more center, so if

00:49:34.020 I were left to my own natural devices, I'd look more like a guy from the 90s.

00:49:38.260 Okay.

00:49:38.760 You know that kind of-

00:49:39.600 Yeah, like the, yeah.

00:49:40.600 But if you got your part over here-

00:49:41.960 See, so you can change your part.

00:49:43.580 Yeah, but not, I can change it from like, you know, Gary Cooper to Dean Martin.

00:49:49.620 I can't change it from Gary Cooper to Rock Hudson, you know?

00:49:53.580 Okay, okay.

00:49:53.900 So, my question is, for the people who wear their fingers or whatever, you know, it's

00:49:58.280 like they're, they got the even fingers and the part on the right, there's got to be a

00:50:02.460 nature aspect.

00:50:02.860 I thought that was more so of like, like where you descended from.

00:50:07.800 Like Romans have more of a certain type of, I think it's more specifically like feet and 0.98

00:50:12.220 toes.

00:50:12.740 Like Egyptian, you're much more like- 1.00

00:50:15.060 What are the, what did the Roman toes look like?

00:50:16.880 I think the second one is longer.

00:50:19.700 Yeah.

00:50:19.980 Which is standard for, I think, most people.

00:50:23.020 But like Egyptian is very much slanted all the way, something is like, yeah. 1.00

00:50:28.340 So I thought it was more so like your descent.

00:50:30.320 I want to get into phrenology, like head sizes as they pertain to intelligence.

00:50:35.440 That-

00:50:35.700 But that, I don't know if we're allowed to do that on YouTube.

00:50:37.620 We'll get, maybe a later.

00:50:38.820 Okay, so we're in the rapid fire round.

00:50:40.640 You know that, right?

00:50:41.140 I know, I'm sorry.

00:50:41.320 We're in the rapid fire round.

00:50:42.520 Okay.

00:50:42.700 The only thing conservatives should ever infight about is which month is the best in the

00:50:49.600 conservative dad's real women of America calendar.

00:50:55.200 I'm so excited to talk about this, even though it's rapid fire.

00:50:57.240 Were you in that one?

00:50:58.460 Yes, and it was the biggest mistake I've ever made in my life.

00:51:00.180 Wait, oh, wait.

00:51:00.760 All right.

00:51:01.260 Then I want, Elda.

00:51:02.240 No.

00:51:02.500 That actually gives me good information about this.

00:51:04.040 Okay.

00:51:04.340 So the only thing conservatives should ever, you're going to say no.

00:51:06.980 Yes, I'm going to say no.

00:51:07.740 You're going to say no.

00:51:08.200 I remember that, but I didn't, I actually did not buy it.

00:51:11.220 I have no problem, like, like I'm a very self-aware person in general.

00:51:17.360 The way this was approached to me, actually, this is kind of like a full circle moment,

00:51:22.320 going back to that first question about the charity.

00:51:24.660 The way this was approached to me were the proceeds of this.

00:51:27.620 It was going to be a very family-friendly thing.

00:51:30.400 Wow, this is a full circle.

00:51:32.100 Like, full circle.

00:51:32.920 Wow.

00:51:33.000 And the proceeds of this would go to a charity, like, of my choosing.

00:51:36.800 First of all, for those who haven't seen it, it's not, it wasn't like Playboy.

00:51:40.260 No, no.

00:51:40.520 It wasn't Penthouse.

00:51:41.520 But it still is not a good representation of myself, and this even is like looping back

00:51:47.280 in with the whole Livy Dunn thing.

00:51:49.020 This still is not a good representation of just me in general, how I conduct myself, whether

00:51:53.780 it is on a public platform, whether it's in my personal life, like, it just wasn't.

00:51:58.140 But again, think back, this was probably in, I don't know what year.

00:52:02.960 I mean.

00:52:03.360 It was a while ago.

00:52:04.540 A while ago.

00:52:05.020 Because this guy did a beer, too.

00:52:06.360 Yes.

00:52:06.540 It was like a kind of, like, I'm a cool guy conservative.

00:52:08.460 Even not being pregnant.

00:52:09.620 Like, I just am not a drinker.

00:52:10.940 Like, I don't, like, it's, I'm just, I'm just, I'm not.

00:52:14.540 Yeah.

00:52:15.660 Whatever.

00:52:16.420 I kind of got sucked into this.

00:52:18.220 So you're saying you were, because, look.

00:52:20.120 And everyone was, like, the people who were in this were, like, totally, like, defending

00:52:24.760 it.

00:52:25.080 People like Ashley St. Clair, which we've seen now how that has all turned out.

00:52:30.400 That's also full circle on the Elon.

00:52:31.860 No, like, this is all, like, it's all making sense.

00:52:34.060 So the people don't even have to watch the full thing.

00:52:36.600 Just listen to this.

00:52:37.320 This was actually very well written, Mr. Davies.

00:52:39.520 This is a full weekend.

00:52:40.100 You're rehired, by the way.

00:52:41.080 Wow.

00:52:41.500 Yeah.

00:52:41.920 Okay.

00:52:42.680 So they were all defending it.

00:52:43.660 They were all, like, defending it.

00:52:45.380 And I was the only one to, for the most part, I just stayed pretty, like, silent about it.

00:52:50.540 And they were trying to loop me in on their side and defend it.

00:52:52.400 I'm like, I can't even defend myself here.

00:52:54.520 Yeah.

00:52:54.720 Like, I deserve to, I deserve the slander.

00:52:57.100 Look.

00:52:57.520 I take it.

00:52:58.100 This is, that's a great attitude, Dav.

00:52:59.880 Because, look, in the grand scheme of things, you're a very nice looking young lady.

00:53:05.580 You were, you were not a mother.

00:53:07.120 Well, I was a swimmer in a swimsuit.

00:53:08.420 Like, to me, that wasn't that bad.

00:53:09.780 It's not, it wasn't, you weren't on OnlyFans.

00:53:13.580 No.

00:53:14.060 But people can't, people really struggle to admit that they have done anything that they

00:53:20.740 regret.

00:53:21.320 Not even anything wrong, necessarily.

00:53:22.720 Even just anything they want.

00:53:23.560 No, I regret this.

00:53:24.560 And people struggle with that.

00:53:26.220 And they, people will form whole ideologies to justify a thing that they, deep down, do

00:53:33.280 actually kind of regret.

00:53:34.480 You know, and it, it, it takes a lot of maturity and, and humility.

00:53:40.220 Very self-aware person.

00:53:41.100 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:53:41.620 That.

00:53:42.180 And I knew it at the time, too.

00:53:43.660 That was like.

00:53:44.200 It didn't come, how, was it that salacious?

00:53:46.540 I don't know.

00:53:46.680 No.

00:53:47.000 No, it wasn't.

00:53:47.740 Okay.

00:53:47.820 I mean, no.

00:53:48.720 It wasn't.

00:53:49.160 You just think the whole, yeah.

00:53:49.940 I agree that whenever people try to make conservatism, like, cool, like, it's like, you know,

00:53:56.300 I'm not a regular mom.

00:53:57.320 I'm a cool mom.

00:53:58.280 You know, I'm a cool conservative.

00:53:59.460 I just think, no.

00:54:00.540 No.

00:54:00.800 There's nothing.

00:54:02.120 Conservatism is not cool.

00:54:03.380 In fact.

00:54:04.180 That's why we've, like, lost every inch of the public square.

00:54:06.900 Yeah, yeah.

00:54:07.900 I mean, think, like, like, media, entertainment, Hollywood, academia.

00:54:13.180 I mean, like, virtually every inch of the public square.

00:54:16.640 Because we're trying to, because we're like, oh, man, I'm going to be cool.

00:54:19.620 Because they're cool.

00:54:19.920 I'm going to be, like, a cool, yeah.

00:54:20.880 Yeah.

00:54:21.220 Yeah.

00:54:21.820 But we're not cool.

00:54:22.840 The only way to gain cultural currency is to just kind of know what you are and do that

00:54:29.260 thing very well.

00:54:30.480 Totally.

00:54:30.800 Do that in a rational, excellent, virtuous way.

00:54:33.380 But to just be like, hey, hey, I'm not one of those stodgy conservatives.

00:54:38.460 I'm the, I'm a hip conservative.

00:54:40.740 Just like, shite.

00:54:41.440 Yeah.

00:54:41.920 No.

00:54:42.480 No, I'm not.

00:54:43.540 I've never.

00:54:43.760 And for you, your thing you do really well is Little League.

00:54:46.180 Little League.

00:54:46.680 That's the thing.

00:54:47.300 You should start a Little League League for adults.

00:54:51.260 Mm.

00:54:51.800 I would still, you know, the sad thing?

00:54:53.840 I would still strike out all the time.

00:54:55.760 They invited me.

00:54:56.980 I was invited to do, like, a celebrity.

00:55:00.180 The Folds of Honor.

00:55:01.080 That was the one.

00:55:01.680 Yeah.

00:55:02.040 What were you doing?

00:55:02.820 I was there.

00:55:03.620 I know.

00:55:04.080 I thought, hold on.

00:55:04.700 Am I, I said, what, am I a, what's the crazier part?

00:55:08.620 That I'm a celebrity or that I'm a baseball player?

00:55:11.440 I don't know what would be less, but they invited me.

00:55:14.540 They said, well, you love baseball.

00:55:15.600 You should go.

00:55:16.440 And I thought, I'm going to have horrifying flashbacks to that when I'm there.

00:55:21.520 So it's like, what's the movie?

00:55:24.780 Sandlot.

00:55:25.340 It would be Sandlot.

00:55:26.320 It would be Sandlot.

00:55:26.740 What is the, no, Benchwarmers.

00:55:27.960 It would be The Natural, because I'd get shot, probably.

00:55:30.300 Yeah.

00:55:30.580 It would be, what's my, it would be Major League.

00:55:33.680 Yeah.

00:55:34.180 Because I would become Charlie Sheen.

00:55:35.780 Do a bunch of drugs beforehand.

00:55:37.720 Yeah.

00:55:38.320 Okay.

00:55:38.740 So now, no, you're up.

00:55:41.760 It's the final round.

00:55:43.540 I feel intimidated.

00:55:46.060 The prompt will be read.

00:55:47.140 We'll both lock in our answers, and we'll move our glasses to yes or no to see if we

00:55:52.160 can read each other's minds.

00:55:53.840 The round is worth double points.

00:55:56.280 It could change everything.

00:55:58.600 The score right now.

00:56:00.840 Oh, no.

00:56:02.100 Oh, no.

00:56:02.660 No, Riley could still win, but the score is a lot to a little.

00:56:08.440 It's a lot to a little.

00:56:09.240 It's Michael 4, Riley negative 2.

00:56:13.360 Well, if I get both these right.

00:56:14.880 Then you win.

00:56:15.860 Okay.

00:56:16.140 But you would have to get both wrong.

00:56:17.600 That's true.

00:56:18.880 Could happen.

00:56:19.840 I'm clearing mine.

00:56:21.520 Okay.

00:56:22.360 So I will move my glass.

00:56:24.340 You're going to pick your answer on your pad, and then you're going to move my glass to

00:56:28.260 how you think I would answer.

00:56:29.280 You're going to pick your answer for what you think on your pad, and then you're going

00:56:32.420 to move my glass to how you think I would answer.

00:56:34.440 And you're going to lock it in.

00:56:35.820 Same thing.

00:56:36.780 Okay.

00:56:37.060 The main reason evangelicals have grown their numbers and non-denominational churches keep 0.99

00:56:43.640 growing by attracting those leaving mainline denominations is because all the worst Democrats 0.59

00:56:49.220 claim to be Catholic.

00:56:53.440 Okay.

00:56:54.380 So I put mine on where I think.

00:56:56.320 You put your...

00:56:56.880 No, hold on.

00:56:58.820 But that was great.

00:56:59.900 Did I ruin this?

00:57:01.040 No.

00:57:01.660 You made it.

00:57:02.200 It was great.

00:57:02.800 You need to lock in your answer, and then I'm going to guess with your cup how you

00:57:06.500 would answer.

00:57:07.840 And then you have to move my cup on how you think I would.

00:57:10.040 Well, that just gave it away.

00:57:11.420 Well, I mean...

00:57:11.980 Did you already lock in?

00:57:12.960 I did.

00:57:13.220 So you locked in what you said.

00:57:15.020 Yeah.

00:57:15.680 I was tricking you because I know that the rules the whole time.

00:57:17.700 Mmm.

00:57:18.920 No.

00:57:19.720 All right.

00:57:20.120 Hold on.

00:57:20.800 We're going to see how devious Riley is.

00:57:23.060 Well, okay.

00:57:24.640 Hold on.

00:57:24.920 You haven't locked in.

00:57:25.480 I don't even know if I fully read the question.

00:57:27.100 You've got to lock in.

00:57:27.820 Don't you change your answer now.

00:57:29.680 Don't you?

00:57:30.500 That would be so devious.

00:57:31.980 It would be like kicking an orphan in the head.

00:57:33.680 I would never do that.

00:57:34.560 No.

00:57:34.960 Except for $10 million.

00:57:35.880 Yeah.

00:57:36.740 Million now?

00:57:37.720 No, billion.

00:57:38.300 Billion.

00:57:38.780 Okay.

00:57:38.960 Well, and million.

00:57:39.740 I would do it for $10 million.

00:57:42.040 And dollars.

00:57:43.580 And $10.

00:57:45.380 You know what?

00:57:46.060 I'm changing the rules of this game because we said we got to do that.

00:57:49.320 The winner is who has the least amount of points.

00:57:52.520 Actually, so.

00:57:54.380 I win.

00:57:56.620 I love winning.

00:57:57.840 Okay.

00:57:58.300 Hold on.

00:57:58.620 You just answered.

00:57:59.500 Now you've got to move mine to how you think I would answer.

00:58:01.700 That same prompt.

00:58:07.280 I think you're saying no.

00:58:09.800 Correct.

00:58:10.220 Correct.

00:58:10.560 Okay.

00:58:10.820 Yes.

00:58:11.040 I say no.

00:58:11.780 The surge in evangelicalism.

00:58:13.600 I actually don't know if there is a surge right now.

00:58:15.000 But the surge is driven by two things.

00:58:17.500 Okay.

00:58:18.280 One is the mainline going.

00:58:22.720 Because there are a bunch of Dem Catholics. 0.96

00:58:24.820 There's like Biden and all those guys.

00:58:26.280 Well, I mean, I think there's bad conservative Catholics. 0.59

00:58:29.580 Yes.

00:58:30.080 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:58:31.140 But yeah, that's true.

00:58:32.040 That's also true.

00:58:32.500 That's a separate issue.

00:58:33.240 But I think what's driven it is the mainline Protestants went completely lib, you know, 1.00

00:58:40.180 like trans, lesbian, bishopresses, stuff, and divorced Catholics.

00:58:46.020 Divorced Catholics become evangelical.

00:58:48.560 Interesting.

00:58:49.280 Yeah.

00:58:49.680 Because you can't.

00:58:50.260 And there's a lot of that in the Catholic Church?

00:58:52.280 There are divorce.

00:58:53.100 Because you're not allowed to divorce.

00:58:54.120 So if you get divorced and civilly remarried, you can't have the sacraments.

00:58:57.620 And so I know, I've seen Catholics get divorced and remarried and they become evangelical.

00:59:04.420 Because they still want a religious thing, you know, there's a public connection.

00:59:08.280 But I think the main driver for evangelicalism is people who want to be Protestant, but are

00:59:15.440 just like, I can't be Episcopalian.

00:59:17.340 No one's been an Episcopalian since like 1948.

00:59:19.840 Right.

00:59:20.060 It's ridiculous.

00:59:20.560 Right, right, right.

00:59:20.860 So I think that's it.

00:59:22.780 Who knows?

00:59:23.240 Maybe King Charles.

00:59:25.020 Maybe you'll get King Charles.

00:59:26.140 That's what it is.

00:59:26.760 Yeah.

00:59:27.180 The queen.

00:59:28.020 Long live queenie. 0.99

00:59:28.820 Yeah.

00:59:29.500 Okay.

00:59:30.300 Okay, so we both got them right.

00:59:31.640 So that's just net zero then.

00:59:33.760 That's a net zero.

00:59:34.580 So no matter what happens here, I win.

00:59:37.020 Because you'll have the least points.

00:59:38.580 You make a great point.

00:59:39.520 I love this.

00:59:40.120 Yeah, wow.

00:59:40.520 This is so fun.

00:59:42.140 It doesn't even matter.

00:59:42.880 We can throw this.

00:59:43.540 You're right.

00:59:43.900 You're right.

00:59:44.200 Why am I even playing anymore?

00:59:45.600 It is disorderly and sets up near occasions of sin to have a bunch of hormone-filled dudes

00:59:53.940 train for hours in a pool alongside females in swimsuits. 0.82

00:59:58.640 Hold on.

00:59:59.140 This is a point of information.

01:00:02.980 Okay.

01:00:03.900 Because I wasn't on the swim team.

01:00:07.100 Do the boys and the girls swim together?

01:00:10.560 So it depends.

01:00:11.860 Because at this meet, this national championship, it was only a women's meet.

01:00:18.300 So it was only, there were only women at that meet except for one. 1.00

01:00:22.380 So this is a fictional.

01:00:25.780 But you mean like in practice?

01:00:27.040 In practice.

01:00:28.260 We swam together in the mornings, but very much separate teams.

01:00:34.200 Like even in terms of national ranking, like our women's team was always top 10, top 15.

01:00:39.000 Yeah, no, no, I'm not saying, I'm just talking about in the pool.

01:00:42.420 You guys are...

01:00:43.320 We would, yes, but sometimes we would have different practices.

01:00:46.960 But yes, yes, yes.

01:00:48.060 You would.

01:00:48.620 Yes.

01:00:48.820 Wow, okay.

01:00:49.480 So, okay, so the premise is fair.

01:00:51.420 It is disorderly and sets up near occasions of sin to have a bunch of hormone-filled dudes

01:00:55.100 trained for hours.

01:00:56.120 Hormone-filled as in...

01:00:57.860 Just brimming.

01:00:59.300 Like with...

01:01:00.000 Virility.

01:01:01.420 No, natural hormones.

01:01:02.740 Not artificial hormones.

01:01:03.900 Not like Will Thomas does.

01:01:05.060 So like testosterone.

01:01:06.620 Like men... 0.98

01:01:07.180 T.

01:01:07.560 High T.

01:01:07.960 Okay, okay, read it one more time.

01:01:09.800 High T, one more time.

01:01:11.000 It is disorderly and sets up near occasions of sin to have a bunch of high-T gigachads

01:01:18.220 in Speedos.

01:01:19.000 I love this.

01:01:19.760 Trained for hours in a pool alongside slinky little ladies wearing bikinis. 1.00

01:01:26.460 Ooh, when you put it like that.

01:01:31.320 I've got to answer how you would answer.

01:01:34.760 Okay.

01:01:35.740 Well, I locked in my answer.

01:01:37.180 Thank you.

01:01:37.680 He says you've got a lock in your answer.

01:01:38.940 As if I didn't do it.

01:01:40.040 I've locked in.

01:01:40.300 He could have seen it on camera.

01:01:41.940 So I need to move yours...

01:01:43.800 Yes.

01:01:44.940 ...to where...

01:01:50.500 What would you answer?

01:01:52.220 I'm doing that based on the words.

01:01:54.640 I did...

01:01:55.400 I had a little bit of a tell.

01:01:57.020 So it felt like you were...

01:01:58.980 Yeah.

01:01:59.480 ...putting someone in a fliction.

01:02:00.200 ...disordered and sets up near occasions of sin.

01:02:04.720 Now, you've got experience.

01:02:05.580 You've been there.

01:02:06.600 I know.

01:02:06.900 You were there.

01:02:07.420 You were there.

01:02:08.320 For me, I've just been to the beach.

01:02:09.820 Yeah, obviously, right?

01:02:16.360 It's crazy.

01:02:17.040 I don't...

01:02:17.280 This is the one...

01:02:17.940 You know, in the 40s, they were like arresting women for wearing bikinis.

01:02:21.340 Right.

01:02:21.540 And a somewhat unpopular view I have, they were probably right. 1.00

01:02:27.300 I can't...

01:02:27.800 Women can't wear bikinis. 1.00

01:02:28.960 No.

01:02:29.380 They should...

01:02:29.560 But men can...

01:02:30.680 No, men should wear... 1.00

01:02:31.880 No, you're right.

01:02:32.740 Men should wear... 1.00

01:02:33.680 Like...

01:02:34.080 I'm not...

01:02:34.620 I'm only 3% joking.

01:02:37.120 Men should wear those 1920s, like, swimsuits where it's like a shirt with a pants and a top

01:02:44.780 hat.

01:02:45.160 You know?

01:02:45.400 Like, they should...

01:02:46.220 Because it is crazy.

01:02:49.000 It is crazy that I go to the beach.

01:02:50.680 And I actually, in my old age now, I try to avoid, you know, sins of the eyes and things.

01:02:57.540 For sure.

01:02:58.080 And so...

01:02:59.360 And then I go to the beach and I'm looking at...

01:03:03.760 I mean...

01:03:04.480 No, I know.

01:03:05.020 It's crazy.

01:03:05.660 No, I know.

01:03:06.300 Right?

01:03:06.460 It is.

01:03:07.080 But most of the time, like, at least...

01:03:10.520 I mean, I guess I approach this a little different as a woman, but most of the time it's not like

01:03:14.300 attractive women wearing revealing things.

01:03:18.220 It's women who should absolutely... 1.00

01:03:20.220 That's often the case.

01:03:21.020 ...not be wearing...

01:03:22.160 That's often true.

01:03:22.740 ...revealing...

01:03:23.220 So it's more of like a repulsion...

01:03:25.240 Yes.

01:03:25.760 ...I would say.

01:03:26.880 That's true.

01:03:27.520 Most people...

01:03:28.280 Well, you know what's weird about this?

01:03:29.420 Most people, I think it's fair to say, don't really look good au naturel.

01:03:36.380 But this is actually...

01:03:38.940 This is the premise of lingerie and also of swimsuits and stuff, is actually if you conceal

01:03:45.500 a little bit, strategic concealment actually makes one more attractive than if you were

01:03:50.400 completely in your birthday suit.

01:03:51.780 So like, I don't know.

01:03:54.120 I don't want to...

01:03:56.520 In France, there's a big issue about women wearing veils and stuff. 1.00

01:04:00.460 Or the burkini, the burkini at the beach. 0.99

01:04:03.840 It's like a burka bikini.

01:04:04.880 Right.

01:04:06.280 And I have plenty of criticisms of the Muslims and Islam. 0.95

01:04:09.780 But you also have, on the other hand, in France, when they have these liberation rallies,

01:04:18.820 totally topless women... 1.00

01:04:20.340 Yeah.

01:04:20.860 ...like...

01:04:21.580 Who are often not the most scintillating.

01:04:23.820 No.

01:04:24.400 Some of them are, but many of them are...

01:04:27.520 You see these videos and it's like...

01:04:29.140 Yeah.

01:04:29.560 A bit of...

01:04:30.100 Maybe put a shirt on.

01:04:31.900 Yeah.

01:04:32.100 A bit of flab.

01:04:33.080 Yeah.

01:04:33.480 Yeah.

01:04:34.020 Yeah.

01:04:34.300 Okay.

01:04:35.260 I answered yes.

01:04:36.320 You answered yes.

01:04:36.920 Because...

01:04:37.140 Oh, yes.

01:04:38.200 We called it swim-cest.

01:04:41.860 Like, it's a thing.

01:04:43.260 Of course.

01:04:43.640 Like, it's a known thing.

01:04:44.720 Of course.

01:04:45.200 Where swimmers, you just...

01:04:48.460 I don't know if it's more so like...

01:04:50.780 Again, maybe being around them in that environment.

01:04:53.640 Maybe it's the way your schedules line up.

01:04:56.400 I don't know what it is.

01:04:57.740 Yeah.

01:04:58.480 But...

01:04:59.200 It's called swim-cest.

01:05:01.400 Yeah.

01:05:01.820 Where swimmers just date other swimmers.

01:05:03.900 Of course.

01:05:04.540 Yeah.

01:05:04.760 I mean, me.

01:05:05.940 My husband swam at University of Kentucky.

01:05:07.840 Mm.

01:05:09.040 I'm a victim to swim-cest.

01:05:10.380 You are?

01:05:10.940 And I swore I wasn't going to be.

01:05:11.800 Which is legal in Tennessee.

01:05:13.060 It's legal.

01:05:13.680 Not in other states, but in Tennessee.

01:05:15.400 Other states, I don't know.

01:05:16.200 Yeah.

01:05:16.580 No.

01:05:16.900 That's why he came here.

01:05:17.920 Yeah, yeah.

01:05:18.200 He wanted to swim-cest.

01:05:18.780 That's true.

01:05:19.640 You know, it's funny.

01:05:20.220 Even in college, I was buddies...

01:05:22.860 In high school, I was buddies with athletes, a bunch of athletes, but not swimmers.

01:05:28.180 Because it might be the schedule thing.

01:05:30.000 I wasn't really that tight with...

01:05:30.980 I mean, we train six hours a day.

01:05:31.980 Yeah, yeah.

01:05:32.120 So it was like, you don't really have time to meet other people.

01:05:36.460 Yeah.

01:05:36.620 Like, if you're swimming 5 a.m. to 8 a.m., you go to class, you come back to the pool

01:05:42.200 1.30 to 4.30, you eat dinner with the swimmers, like, it's kind of all you know.

01:05:47.220 Yeah.

01:05:47.360 So I think it's more so the schedule thing, but...

01:05:51.020 And you're just in...

01:05:52.180 Yeah.

01:05:52.520 You're all good-looking, I would assume.

01:05:55.200 You're in good shape, at least.

01:05:56.400 Yeah.

01:05:56.720 You're wearing slinky little garments.

01:05:59.840 Right.

01:06:00.020 You're all, you know, brimming with testosterone.

01:06:03.680 The blood's flowing.

01:06:04.980 Right.

01:06:05.520 Right.

01:06:05.980 How do you...

01:06:07.080 Yeah, it's true.

01:06:07.360 This is why co-education was a huge, huge mistake, which would be a topic for another time.

01:06:12.100 So I think that means...

01:06:13.740 I win.

01:06:14.340 I got many more points, so therefore you won.

01:06:16.120 Yay! 0.99

01:06:16.480 Obviously, that's a name.

01:06:17.760 Great job, Riley.

01:06:18.400 I love this game.

01:06:18.720 Very impressive.

01:06:19.200 This is my favorite game I've ever played.

01:06:21.180 You need to go check out Riley's content on Instagram, at Riley G. Barker.

01:06:27.460 Not Gaines.

01:06:28.740 That was your old name.

01:06:29.960 That was the old name.

01:06:30.640 That's called the maiden name. 0.73

01:06:32.100 Because Riley is a conservative, normal, sane woman. 0.99

01:06:36.460 Riley G. Barker.

01:06:37.940 And you got to go watch her show on Outkick.

01:06:40.820 Gaines for girls. 0.66

01:06:42.000 I love a good pun.

01:06:42.840 Check out this teaser.

01:06:43.500 In just two tweets, Simone Biles basically tarnished her reputation to anyone with a shred 1.00

01:06:51.920 of honesty, to anyone with a moral compass, and to anyone with an inherent, innate desire

01:06:59.200 to protect women, to fight for equal opportunity for both men and women, especially as it pertains

01:07:06.520 to sport.

01:07:07.060 So, congratulations, Simone Biles.

01:07:13.220 It looks great.

01:07:14.040 I like that name.

01:07:14.680 She, um... 0.99

01:07:15.480 It was awesome, because...

01:07:18.160 The time of this filming...

01:07:20.060 There were two girls in Oregon who filed a lawsuit against the state of Oregon for their laws that allow boys to play in their sports.

01:07:27.540 Uh, and their reason for doing it, they, they said this in a, um, a video that was posted today,

01:07:34.960 was because of Simone Biles disparaging comments to female athletes. 1.00

01:07:40.440 They were like, that was kind of the final straw for us.

01:07:43.540 So, her... 1.00

01:07:44.740 And she walked it back.

01:07:46.080 Simone Biles had to walk it back. 1.00

01:07:47.480 Yeah, but what good does that do when you've already...

01:07:49.620 At that point, it's like a total Gavin Newsom move where you've just pissed off everyone.

01:07:53.140 Yeah, yeah.

01:07:53.560 But I, no, to me, though, I thought that was such a white pill, because I thought, look, Simone Biles almost certainly did not change her opinion.

01:07:59.340 It was written by some PR team.

01:08:01.200 Chagipity.

01:08:02.000 It was, yeah, it was almost...

01:08:04.100 I saw that little dash in there.

01:08:05.780 I know what that dash means.

01:08:07.100 Yeah, it wasn't written by Grock, because it wasn't in German.

01:08:09.380 Exactly.

01:08:09.740 Yes.

01:08:10.260 Yes.

01:08:10.380 But, it doesn't matter.

01:08:13.000 Like, when you have kids, and the kid smacks the other kid, and he's like, hey, you say you're sorry.

01:08:17.440 And the kid isn't sorry.

01:08:19.260 But if you are an imposing enough patra familias, he'll say it anyway, even though he doesn't believe it.

01:08:25.300 Right.

01:08:25.500 And that's half good.

01:08:27.360 That gets you halfway there.

01:08:28.400 Good enough.

01:08:28.940 It's good enough.

01:08:29.780 And it's kind of...

01:08:30.360 That's how I felt with Simone Biles.

01:08:31.960 She made the apology, almost certainly not because she believed it, but because the culture now says the trans stuff is done.

01:08:39.400 It's done, as far as I'm concerned.

01:08:40.940 We won.

01:08:41.560 Largely to thank you and Matt and the awesome people here.

01:08:44.340 I take all credit for it.

01:08:45.700 Walsh did nothing.

01:08:46.700 I think it was all me.

01:08:48.340 It was.

01:08:49.040 Yeah.

01:08:49.300 You had nothing to do with it.

01:08:50.640 No.

01:08:50.940 Your activism had nothing.

01:08:51.940 It was because girls didn't want to play you in Little League. 1.00

01:08:54.820 They would have destroyed me in Little League.

01:08:57.820 It would have been awful.

01:08:58.300 So, suddenly, trans movement done. 0.75

01:09:00.420 Riley, congratulations on your improbable and impressive victory.
