I had a joke that was making me chuckle for a full half day. I said, you know, I was talking about girls in bushes, because you know how girls are kind of like... I originally had a joke where I said, listen, if girls want to have under armpit hair, that's fine, but don't get mad when I tug it.
Starting point is 00:00:40 And then I said, or they don't like it when they tug it, and I said, whatever, if you want to have a bush, but don't get mad when you have to pick my gum out of it. You know, you know, the girl who's got a bush with your gum, we're back in business. And some other funny things, too, as I wrote, like, you know, a lot. I was kind of it was it was a big decision. I was like, you know what? That's it.
Starting point is 00:01:03 I'm back. I'm going to do all the shitty shows. I'm going to put together hours. I'm back in the game. I was talking about how it used to be, you know, activism's just gotten so much easier right now. Because back in the day, people used to go to Africa and take a picture with a little black kid. And they go, look at me. I'm helping.
Starting point is 00:01:20 Now they don't even have to take the plane. They just find a guy in Brooklyn. They're like, look, this guy isn't even a CEO. So they've gotten a lot easier and there's lots more to that joke but I'm not gonna do a bit I think we're better for punchlines when we're on the podcast my war on spectrum continues we live in New York City and they haven't figured out internet I might as well be in Abu Dhabi I was having a conversation with someone I was complaining about that and they were like you know that would be why the government, you know, what if we see if the government ran the internet, like you wouldn't have that. I was like, this is literally an example
Starting point is 00:01:53 of what happens when you have a monopoly on something. This is one company spectrum, basically in the entire like New York city, any walk up in downtown Manhattan, essentially would they have a monopoly on it, so they're the only ones that can have internet there. So you literally, when you go searching for places, you have to be like, there's a spectrum here. So when you move into this place, they're the only place that can give you the internet, and lo and behold, it's garbage. They call, it went out at night. It was like, you know, midnight. I was going to like watch this documentary. Internet just doesn't work. We call them.
Starting point is 00:02:25 It goes, hey, internet's down. What's going on? And they were like, but I didn't actually say that because it's an answering machine. And they go, you know, the internet is currently down. You know, they've got one guy just like with a hammer just banging around and stuff. Doesn't know what he's doing. He's got some elastics tying stuff up. And then you go and then they go, oh, if if you want, we can give you a call when it's,
Starting point is 00:02:46 uh, when it's finished. And I go, all right, we press the button to give a call. And he goes, unfortunately, we can only give you calls between hours of eight and six. I go, well, then fuck me. I guess jerking off to a pitcher of titties is where I'm at now. The election. I'm not going to talk about this too much, but lots happened. I feel like every, every week I do a boys cast, it's like, Jesus Christ, the amount of things that have happened. So I did a full episode of this, uh, you know, with Danny Polashuk and Patrick on the Patreon where we kind of discussed and those guys kind of disagree on a lot of stuff. So I went back and forth and both of them gave their opinions, You know, like certain people I'm watching are like,
Starting point is 00:03:29 Trump's still winning. You know, I'm watching people post like, boy, is everyone going to be, you know, feeling stupid when Trump takes this? And they would, this would cause the World War Nine. It would skip world wars because it would be so extravagant. But if you were to talk about whether there's fraud, you know, and everyone it's, there's, there's some obvious takes that you can probably listen to every podcast and everyone, you know, I could be that guy that comes in and tells you, wow, the people who complained about Russia for four years, now they don't think there's fraud. I could be that guy that tells you the same thing every other podcast tells you and, and, you know, thinks it's original. But the truth is, who knows? You know, do I think these governments will do fraud? Yeah. Do I think
Starting point is 00:04:16 that all these politicians lie? Yes. Do I think that anyone who's like, you know, thinks Trump is Hitler is, you know, first thing they would do when they would go back time and shoot baby Hitler and they think he's that? Do I think these people would be willing to, you know, throw votes in the garbage? Yes. So obviously. Do I think it's enough to sway the election? What do I know? I don't know. What am I going to do research? I'm going to, am I going to start like looking at, well, this one's up by 14,000. If you actually, I'm looking at names, I'm searching databases. I don't know. He either wins or he doesn't. I don't, you know, it's basically it's who can cheat more at this point.
Starting point is 00:04:56 If I was to guess right now, I don't think this is getting overturned. I think you'll see Joe Biden president and my spectrum situation is going to continue down the same rabbit hole. By the end of it, my Internet will literally be me with a tin can just telling information to the rest of the residents. That's how I'm going to be broadcasting this podcast through a tin can. Thank you, Joe Biden. The real story of the censorship stuff. So if you see some of their platforms, you know, if you kind of look at what, you know, because Kamala Harris is always tweeting like these are the things we're going to do. And a lot of it's like a censorship body for meanness.
Starting point is 00:05:33 Like remember when I did my 20 year old girl opinions video and it was kind of like, you know, we need we want to mean this council. A lot of their opinion, a lot of their platforms are kind of like that. You know, they say three things about actual politics or whatever policy. And the other things are like, you know, we'll make sure diversity this, diversity that. You know, women. Number five is just like the word woman. And then they have, we're going to make body of the internet. So, yeah, probably not great for all that stuff.
Starting point is 00:06:00 Probably not good. If that, you know, they're going to have a meanness council. I've seen some of the craziest takes too funniest is when you look at the articles like a couple of this pointed out to me that or that uh stuck out to me it was like sources say trump's gonna board himself in the white house and you're like yeah i don't think that's gonna happen he's gonna go out like al pacino and fucking mob movies One that say hello to my little friend. That's Donald Trump now. I don't think that's going to happen. Trump is going to jail. Yeah, he's not going to jail. Can you imagine the precedent of like a United States precedent going to jail? I know a lot of people are like, he's a war criminal. And everyone's like, every president's a war criminal.
Starting point is 00:06:40 And you're like, newsflash, they're not going to jail. But it's nice to think that, I guess, if you hate, you know, politicians, and you're like, this guy're not going to jail but it's nice to think that i guess if you hate you know politicians and you're like this guy's getting locked up no one's getting locked up it is kind of funny that he's blue balling everyone you know everyone that was kind of like yeah but then they now they're still kind of like they don't really get to have their victory i mean i talked about this already on the patreon too but on in brooklyn we went there and everyone was just like non-stop partying. They couldn't help it. But you could tell that there was a little bit of like it still isn't quite
Starting point is 00:07:09 we don't quite have it in Antifa that they were about to they were going to rage. They had the Molotov cocktails ready and now they're having the will they won't they just looking at the Molotov cocktails like I guess someday they have to pour out the Molotov, but they're not really ready to
Starting point is 00:07:25 because there's still a chance so you're saying there's a chance there's gotta be some Antifa people and like rioters they're just watching this and they're like oh Trump just took Alaska and they're like you know they look at the Molotov cocktail like one day but it would be a sad day if they had
Starting point is 00:07:41 to throw it out you know if they had to take that and just someday maybe in 2024 be a sad day if they had to throw it out you know if they had to take that and just someday maybe in 2024 i was saying there's gonna be a musical of the cops because they walk around they just look so depressed it's a cop eating a big mac he's just walking down the streets just like everyone every cop right now because everyone hates them so much just in new york just looks like they're about to start a musical. You know, the protesters are like, fuck you, and it's like, I'm not so bad.
Starting point is 00:08:10 I'm just doing my job. Come on, guys. I'm just doing my, I'm just a big loser. What am I? You know, the lights come down, but it's a flashlight because it's cop-themed one-man show, which are coming back under Biden's America. Get ready for a lot of one-man shows.
Starting point is 00:08:23 It's going to be a lot of people dancing around in mesh tank tops. I made a prediction on Twitter. I said, a lot of people's comedy career just got voted out of office. And I think that is true. I mean, imagine you did an entire act on Trump, and I've talked about this. But the more important part to say is me ryan long and the boys one for one i've released one video after this whole thing and it's at three million views right now i think
Starting point is 00:08:56 there was a lot of people that kind of could like it again you know a lot of people said trump's going to be terrible there's some people that go trump was probably so good for comedy you know oh that must be great to have that guy to's some people that go, Trump was probably so good for comedy. You know, oh, that must be great to have that guy to make fun of. And you go, no, he wasn't good for comedy. He literally tanked the industry. Maybe there is a lot of counterculture, but, you know, he tanked like the mainstream industry. It was decimated by a Trump presidency. But then it started, you know, they started to have all there were some careers that were made of just, you know, talking shit about Trump and all those people are done. But I did this video and so many people I felt, you know, they could share it again because it doesn't feel like it's helping their enemy.
Starting point is 00:09:36 Because before there was a time, I remember a long time ago where people could watch comedy and like think if it's funny or not and actually just let their body decide. Whereas now they added another filter where they watch comedy and they go, wait, is this helping a Nazi regime? You know, is this on the good side of things? And then once it in, they go, okay, I can laugh now. This is on the good guys. So I think there was a lot of, you know, people that are like, oh, the order has been restored in their opinion. I saw people cry. I saw people crying. People I know. There's like, I know, you know, this chick, I know I'm Brooklyn. She goes, me and my friends are crying. They're holding hands and crying because Trump got Trump got voted out. They're that happy about it. This is how I'm going to talk about something from this video. I was so fucking hung up.
Starting point is 00:10:25 A lot of people commented when I did that. That last, you know, turning, turning, voting for the wrong thing turned me into a white person. A lot of people commented. They're like, you look like shit, dude. I'm Corinne Fisher was like, we're watching Ryan age in front of our eyes. And I'm like, I look fine. I was really hung over. I did two hours sleep.
Starting point is 00:10:43 And then I woke up at 11. I was like, oh, we're filming this. And then people kept coming out onto me Street cuz I'm like such a big deal now and People there they go. Oh, what's up? But some and sometimes You know people just say hi and whatever take a picture and a lot of times though. They'll be like, oh, what's up? And they'll be like, so what are you filming now? And they go How do you think of your jokes like they want to talk and then we're worse than that They just stand there and you have to talk and you go uh so what's your name you they like put you in the position where you have to make the conversation and because I don't love awkwardness in that scenario I
Starting point is 00:11:13 indulge in it and I again I'm always talking about people being stupid and stuff and I am uh retarded in a lot of ways this is a perfect example so i did that i did that video and i bleep out the swear words and one of the reasons is um because i don't think it takes anything away i think you can like monetize and people share it a little easier but more importantly there are times where i think when you say fucking a thing it's it's funny like the way they said i did that one video and that aiden guy goes that motherfucker's name is doug and i was like that the way he says that is so funny that you don't want to bleep it out but a lot of times when you're saying this motherfucker like the bleep
Starting point is 00:11:54 it actually kind of makes it a little funnier so i was like it almost makes it funnier in a lot of scenarios and plus it can get shared more and stuff so i usually do it but the last two times i bleeped out swear words forgot one so I literally bleep out five swear words and then just say the exact same thing because there's one. There was like – people were all kind of like ragging on me for how dumb I was the other day. One of the things that people kill me the most on is that billionaire thing when I had to do the podcast and take it down. They, cause I, you know,
Starting point is 00:12:27 I went to this, I went to the thing with a bunch of these guys that I, you know, billions of dollars. And then I signed this NDA and then I did a whole podcast saying basically everything that happened. And then my chick always goes, he goes,
Starting point is 00:12:38 tell them what you named the podcast. And I go, I went to a conference with billionaires, a secret billionaire conference. She's like, God, and they go, ah, it's sort of like the Bart Simpson thing where they go, tell them to a conference with billionaires, a secret billionaire conference. And they go, ah, it's sort of like the Bart Simpson thing where they go, tell him to say the thing. Say the thing. What'd you call it? I go, I called it.
Starting point is 00:12:52 I went to a billionaire conference. They go. So on all the on all the places I posted this. One of the big things that everyone talked about was the cat calling. So because I did in the middle of it, for anyone who doesn't remember, I went up, I was pretending to be like a white, black guy trapped in a white guy's body.
Starting point is 00:13:12 I go, yeah, what's up, girl? And this girl peeks. She goes, fuck you, you ugly piece of shit. You know, I can't believe you say this. And she starts chasing me. And then that's what I wanted. I didn't think I'd get, I wanted some girl to get mad. And then I go, because I'm white.
Starting point is 00:13:25 That was kind of like the joke. But I didn't realize it was going to take me 10 seconds to get a phone freaking out. So it got me talking, thinking a lot about catcalling. Because every, you know, on all the platforms, there was like a huge discussion. Not everyone, but there was like a, you know, 80 threads on two different places of people arguing about catcalling. People being like, men need to leave limerone. And then girls being, you know, people being like, he just said, hey, and that girl had like a literal conniption meltdown. And catcalling is one of the, so I have an article too, but catcalling is such an interesting phenomenon
Starting point is 00:14:00 because, you know, it's one of those things where culturally, obviously, certain types of cultures do catcalling more. And, you know, in the feminist hierarchy and all the, you know, intersectionality, you're not allowed to really call those cultures out. Like, especially if you go to like Harlem and black guys are catcalling, women can't be like black guys. So they just have to sort of clump everyone in. But it's like you're not seeing, you know, some, to sort of clump everyone in, but it's like, you're not seeing, you know, some, uh, let's say, a French guy, you know, on the streets, like, Hey, French accent woman. It's a specific type of culture. That's like, yeah. What's up girl. And more importantly, when people go, okay. I will say why. Okay. So why do people catcall and is it bad? And the first part about that, the first part of that is in New York, it is pretty aggressive.
Starting point is 00:14:54 But the reason they do it is because it works. So it's both sides of this. Now, I will say, I've seen chicks where, like, I was being with, like, with like a you know a comic or whatever there's something and like a guy they'll be walking and a guy will be like yo what's up girl and she goes I have a boyfriend she go your boyfriend treat you right did your boyfriend treat you right and he like gets in her face he's like yo tell me he treats you right and I'm like you know it is a lot and I said I used to go to the village and when the stand-up was happening where like the comedy seller was like that.
Starting point is 00:15:25 And a lot of the guys would be like, yeah, what's up? And it would be one of those things where they would be talking to you. And they'd be like, oh, so how many sets are you doing? Like, oh, where were you earlier? I'd be like, oh, I used to stand, this, that, this. They'd go, oh, crazy, yeah, I'm actually doing this showcase later. And then a girl would walk by. I'm actually doing this show.
Starting point is 00:15:40 Oh, yo, what's up, baby? Yeah, what's up? Yeah, girl. Yeah, what's up? Yo, no, no? Okay, all right, all right. Yo, you holla at me later then and come back to me so anyways uh yeah i'm doing uh shows and they go their whole like you can't have a conversation with them without cat calling 14 girls but the reason people do it is because it works like every one of those guys
Starting point is 00:15:59 has a story about like smashing chicks that they hollered out on the streets dude i have my friend anthony atrano he's like a funny comic and he was like the story was i remember being outside of like a strip club with him and it was just because the comedy club was there we weren't even at the strip club and literally the exact same thing we were walking up to the comedy club and before we got up to the comedy club the strippers who were going into their job, baby, baby, baby, baby. It's like two strippers. Baby, baby, yo, yo, what's up? What's up, what's up?
Starting point is 00:16:27 Yo, I'm Anthony, girl. What's up? You got a boyfriend? But they're going to work at a stripper's. You can't stop yelling at them. But this guy has like smashed like tons of girls from yelling at them on the street. You know, we talk about this in our checker,
Starting point is 00:16:40 but he brought a girl. He was in a car with this other comic, Chris. So the two of them were driving and a hot girl was on the street and he goes, pull over, pull over, guys. I'm not pulling. He goes, pull over, pull over. He pulls the car over
Starting point is 00:16:54 and he goes, yo, what's up, mama? They call that shit. Yeah, what's up? Yo, yo, yo, can I talk to you for a second? Come on, let me holler at you for a second. And the girl walks over to the window. He talks to her. Yo, where are you going? Where are you going? Yo, are you busy tonight? I'm a comedian. You know,
Starting point is 00:17:08 I do comedy. You know, he's done the whole thing, gets her number. And then he's chatting with it. Then he leaves. He's in the car chatting with her. And then the guy who's driving, he goes, yo, you got to let me out because she agreed to meet half hour later. So an hour later, he pulled over the car to yell at her. And then half an hour later, he pulled over the car to yell at her. And then half an hour later, he goes up and meets with her and then bring her back to his house and fucks her. So I was doing a joke like that about dick pics
Starting point is 00:17:32 because it's the same thing. So because the moral of the story is everyone's complicit. Like, you know, people got to, you know, be respectful. But at the same time, it's like girls have to stop fucking guys that aren't respectful. So if an action is working over and over again, and you're like, why are these guys
Starting point is 00:17:51 cackling? It's like, simple answer, because they just got head. Everyone just does the thing that works for them. And then they watch some other guy do it and bring home girls. And people are like, yo, don't do that. And it's like, okay, but it's like working like a charm or not even a charm. You have to do it a hundred times. But what's the difference between doing that a hundred times and measuring a hundred girls on Instagram, measuring a hundred girls on Twitter or Tinder or anything. It's just, that's the system. It's kind of shameless, but it works. I said, I said, girls go, you know, men need to stop sending dick pics and I'm like girls need to stop fucking guys that send dick pics because you know girls will all be like a
Starting point is 00:18:30 group of girls yeah oh you can't uh you know the men need to stop sending dick pics they go you know we would never fuck a guy would send a dick pic and you got one girl in the crew being like yeah for sure would never do that that sucks Doesn't mention she went to his house and sucked it. So it's the same thing when you see these girls with like makeup and fake lips and, you know, breast implants. And a lot of people will be like, why would they do that?
Starting point is 00:18:55 You know what I mean? Like, oh, guys don't, if guys don't like that stuff or girls are like, that's such a stupid thing. Why would you do that? And it was like, see that Gucci bag she's holding? Yeah, some, those lips just got a guy to pay for that. A lot of dudes like that look and they pay for shit. So girls do that. They watch their friend get some fucking fake lips
Starting point is 00:19:13 and then now she's getting meals right and left or whatever. So you, obviously people like move in their incentives and people want to pretend that's not how it happens. In my personal scenario, I'll tell the full thing, but I've literally met my ex-girlfriend that I dated for like two or three years from messaging on Instagram. I just felt like it was everyone's playing in all these pawns and people go, oh, you shouldn't do that. And you go, okay, but it worked though. You know, it's anything's, it's like that same thing. Anything's you could say is creepy until it works. And then once it works, you go, well, it's creepy. The other 90 times it's like, yeah, I don't know, dude. Like when will people stop when biology changes, when the culture changes, like most people are
Starting point is 00:20:00 reactionary and especially men. So yeah, if that happens, happens you're right if girls decide as a whole then we're gonna do that anytime a guy that ramifications or you go what's up girl and they go you with their purse you're right that'll probably slowly phase out catcalling but you're gonna have to commit to it you're gonna have to commit to that and all of us are gonna have to see that shit white catcalling is a little more like there she is that's if i i would say like if me and my friends were out and we were trying to pick up girls in the streets which we have you go oh you would never be like yeah oh it wouldn't be smooth like that you go oh there she is found her okay oh there there you go oh that's her that's found her and there's whatever you know what i mean okay so but the thing is when i met the girl i blah blah i met her and then by the end of the
Starting point is 00:20:52 night i literally hit her up on instagram and then that night met up and then we dated as danny bolishuk said yeah worked a little too good because in my mind i was like oh i cracked the code you know and then once we got out of the relationship, I was like, let's dust off the old trick that I only got to use once. So it will be funny if that's how, you know, there's gotta be some couple out there that that's how they met. That's the story. How did I meet your mother? Well, it was 2012 and we were hanging out. I was walking with my friends to the church and your father Darnell came up behind me and said hey yo what's up bitch hey yo bitch yo show me them titties bitch and I just knew it was love at first sight and oh the first time I know the first time I didn't feel
Starting point is 00:21:39 so great about it I said oh you know you got to make him work for it a little bit. So then the next day I came back and he said it again. Hey, yo, slut. And then I, I, but I said, you know, never run the second time either. I kept making him wait for it. And then the 80th time I walked in that catwalk, he was with nine other guys and it was dimly lit to create the environment. And he said, suck my dick, you bitch. And that's when I knew this
Starting point is 00:22:05 persistent man was going to be my husband. And it doesn't work the other way. You know, it's always those things where they try to make it equal because, you know, there's this big thing where it's like, are we equal? Are we not equal? And they'll go, well, would you like it if girls got called you? And everyone's like, yes, yeah, you would. That's, even girls, some of them, you know, especially if you're in a group of girls and one girl's like, oh, what's up, girl? And she's like, huh? And he goes, oh, not you.
Starting point is 00:22:33 No, no, no, no, not you. She'd be like, meh. I mean, a lot of girls have that kind of joke of like, you know, a homeless guy was, hey, what's up, baby? And he's like, oh, I have a boyfriend. He's like, no, no, no, can you give me money? Which is a lot of times what you think. I think when you see a lot of guys, excuse me, excuse me. You're like, am I being catcalled? And probably a lot of the time it's, can I give you money? But they go, would it work the other way? Well, this is a
Starting point is 00:22:56 girl wouldn't want the follow through. A girl would come up to a guy and be like, oh yeah, look at that. Look at that ass on that guy. And I'd be like, let's go right now. I'll buy a hotel. What do you want to do? What do you want? Your your place or mine and the girl's like i was trying to make a point i thought you were gonna get mad and then i was gonna sort of film it and post how do they like it turns out now i'm just fucking 10 dudes a day because every dude would just like a girl would literally i'd say one in two guys would be like, yeah, yeah, let's do this. So it doesn't really work the other way. But vice magazines on the case, they didn't expose a, cause there was a lot of, there was a, you know, a good half a year where everyone was doing their
Starting point is 00:23:37 like viral videos of getting cat called or whatever. And what they said was they did an expose where a guy went out and he cat called other men to, you know, to make a point. And pretty funny that this article even gotten published. It goes, I spent a day in Los Angeles giving every guy who walked past some unwanted verbal attention. I expected anger. What I got was weirdness. So nothing happened. I mean, first of all, I expected anger. What I got was weirdness. So nothing happened. I mean, first of all, if a guy catcalls you, you're just like, okay, dude.
Starting point is 00:24:16 Second of all, if a guy doesn't say it in a way that is sexual, you just assume it's a crazy person 100% of the time. Like if a guy says, hey, yo, what's up, what's up? I never mind. I go, this dick is not for sale. I am taken. No, you would just be like, yeah, dude, I'm fucking, I know I'm in a hurry right now. I don't change for you.
Starting point is 00:24:28 You fucking bought, you know, you, whatever, whatever suits your fancy, get a job. You need to get a job, you know,
Starting point is 00:24:35 however you want to do it. It always makes me laugh the way that they have to propose these articles. Like I'm going to do a takedown cat calling piece. You're like, what are you going to do? I'm just going to walk around Los Angeles telling guys I want to fuck them. It's like, are you going to fuck any of them? No. Okay.
Starting point is 00:24:49 Sweet article. What are you proposing? That, like, that guys aren't gay? Turns out no one in Los Angeles is that gay. And the ones that were gay, they called me on my bluff and I didn't want to suck them off. Or they come back with, you know, cum in his mouth like, didn't work. Comes back with a mouthful of semen like, I don't doubt it worked. Last month, a group called Hollaback released a video that quickly became one of the most talked about clips of the year.
Starting point is 00:25:18 It was the catcalling video heard round the world. And it brought light to the near constant barrage of verbal assault women face as they go about their day-to-day lives i receive like i said they do receive verbal assault sexually but if you're walking around new york city or los angeles you as a guy you're receiving a lot of verbal assault as might have been expected a lot of men pushed back against the thesis of the video not all men and all that. So I think that that's why I'm proposing a bit of a different thing. Cause I think that is the instinct of a lot of guys. They go, not all men that's, you know, not all men do that, but it's the truth is it's like, I know normal guys that do this. And the answer isn't that like,
Starting point is 00:26:02 I think you don't fight this by saying you know guys are all creeps you fight it by like you know those guys are all creeps and no I'm the good one you know that's how you just sell out everyone else or you kind of say oh no there's this small group of people I think it's more it's just like yeah if the culture changes like we all we all are a part of it you know we all got to be part of this thing if If girls, I said, I'm always for it. When a girl's like, Hey, I'll pay for everything. I go, yeah. And whatever that is, I can fix the toilet. Oh, I would love that. I, I don't know why we're any of the guys are fighting any of this stuff. Girls are like, I think it should be an even dynamic where we can't call you and you can't call us. I'm all for it. Or if they say no catcalling, it's like, okay.
Starting point is 00:26:46 So if you're going to say, you know, we got to stop catcalling, you have to make it stop working or some guy's going to cross the picket lines. You know, if there's like right now, all of those guys, dude, that dude Steve,
Starting point is 00:26:59 they wrote an article about him, which we always killed him on it. Because New York Times did an article on guys who like bark on the streets and like yell at girls for like flyers and stuff like that and in his new in his article he told the people that he had sex with like three girls a week it was like we were killed i used to bring him on stage like this guy dude this guy's six with three girls what you hear that from on the streets catcalling you know but he catcalls with a flyer like yo
Starting point is 00:27:23 girl you like comedy you like comedy it's a you know comedy catcalling, you know, but he catcalls with a flyer like, yo girl, you like comedy? You like comedy? It's a, you know, comedy catcaller. And then he go fucks him after. So they're always going to be one guy that you go, okay. Yelling at girls in the streets, like work sometimes. Every guy doesn't do that. One guy is just going to be like, so all, so, so all I have to do is cross the picket lines and I get all of the snooze.
Starting point is 00:27:45 Well, the whole thing has to change. And I agree. If you're a guy that like catcalls or whatever, it's like they have all the apps now. It's like you can sit and you can do this whole thing from the comfort of your home with pizza on your stomach, eating popcorn and picking up girls, which you used to have to do all the things. And they're still not nearly as effective because you used to be at bars and there'd be like chicks hanging around.
Starting point is 00:28:08 You know, you could pick them up. Now it's 80% of those chicks are talking to nine other guys on their phone or whatever if they're single or whatever the hell. I recruited a female friend to accompany me as a cute female. And she was filming also.
Starting point is 00:28:21 So it's like this is how good their experiment was. As a cute female, she could draw upon her experiences of a lifetime of catcalling and coach me on what to say to my targets. I mean, she can coach you on what guys said to her. Look at this. You tiny as hell, girl. Love those pigtails. It's not working.
Starting point is 00:28:43 This is what the guy said to me. I don't know what to tell you. Hey, how's it going? He says. No reaction. I needed to engage more. No clue that it's sexual. A guy walks, how's it going, neighbor?
Starting point is 00:28:55 Ah, fuck. He didn't care. Guy waved back. It's like, hmm. I wonder why. They tucked their heads down and plowed forward with a newfound sense of urgency. This guy went to writing school. I like that word too. He's really putting his writing to work with his male catcalling article advice. Lest a crazy person on the sidewalk rope them into a conversation or
Starting point is 00:29:16 worse, ask them for change. Yeah, that's all I would think. Sort of an ego blow for girls too, right? By the way, that is a good culpable deniability. If you are the cat calling guy and you you're yelling at girls and then she starts freaking out and you go, no, you should say you're asking for change. Like, yo,
Starting point is 00:29:34 what's up girl? And she goes, excuse me, cackle. You go, my name is John and my son is very sick. You have like hold cards with you. I am just looking for a hundred dollars to get a bus
Starting point is 00:29:46 ride back home. I am freshly out of jail. You give them the speech. I'm no stranger to this approach. Anyone trying to talk to me as I go. I'm no stranger to this approach. Anyone trying to talk to me as I go about my daily walking business usually gets iced out with silence. You tell them and maybe a gesture towards my earbuds. The universal sign for I can't hear you. I use that one a lot. I go, I'm on the phone. That's a big one for me. Dude, I'll walk from here to like a minute away and I'll get, you know, three people asking me for change. And it's like in the South Park episode. Change, change. So I'm on the phone's a good one. I go, dude, I'm on the phone. I'm talking to the
Starting point is 00:30:24 president of an important business meeting. Yes, congressman. Oh, what? You want to sponsor the boys cast? Thank you. I hope this guy does like a heel turn at the end. And he's like, so I spent all day catcalling and I had no success. So what I've concluded by the end of this is that catcalling is very hard
Starting point is 00:30:45 and they deserve all the poontang that they could get. These guys are putting their blood, sweat, and tears into these lines. I spent a whole day. I got zero dick. These guys are out here on the streets in the cold yelling at girls. God bless their souls when they get it sucked.
Starting point is 00:31:01 So that would be like the Vice heel turn. Vice is back. Also, I'm smoking meth. Vice glory days. He kick flips over the poontang. Something like that. Bring it back to the glory days. Hey man, you should smile.
Starting point is 00:31:17 It's a beautiful day. These are the lines he's trying. I've done a lot of these things with people that are bad at it. Because I do a lot of on the street stuff. And it is hard to do, but I've just been lot of these things with people that are bad at it because I do a lot of on the street stuff and it is hard to do but you know I've just been doing it so long and I know how to make things not awkward especially when there's someone watching there's someone filming like and there's someone there you feel you feel the awkwardness when people are really bad I'm sure people have had someone walk up to them on the streets and try to make a piece out of it and
Starting point is 00:31:40 it's just like you're just you feel like embarrassed for them almost you're just like dude I'm so sorry that you're doing this so you could tell this guy was just like halfway through this article he's like yeah we have nothing i've i really thought that i was gonna go out there and yell at guys and they were gonna flip out on me and i was gonna have a how do you like it moment and every guy was like top of the morning to you as well and halfway through he's looking at the girl like probably shouldn't have brought you this is even more embarrassing i'd start with something like that's a cute jacket dog some nerdy vice reporter saying that to me oh yeah okay sick dude like nine guys just almost like per give me a suplex because i didn't want to give them a dollar 50 so
Starting point is 00:32:22 nice jacket cutie is the best thing I've heard on this subway ride. Butching up my voice a bit. You would, how good is a vice guy like admitting that he had to butch up his voice a little bit? I went from nice jacket dog and I go, you know what? I gotta, I gotta butch it up a little bit. Oh, you have a nice jacket, doggy. Butching up my voice a bit. So the recipient wouldn't know I wasn't about any funny business without the compliment. Or yeah, it wasn't about any funny business without the compliment. Okay.
Starting point is 00:32:57 But then the guy would trot back all excited before saying thank you and asking me a bunch of questions about LA and what they could do for fun around here. And would I mind taking a picture of them by this Marilyn Monroe star? Yeah, no one cared. Men who had been the victim of my catcalling only moments before would circle back to wink, smile, or chatting at my female friend. That's pretty funny. He's doing a catcalling experiment.
Starting point is 00:33:24 Guys walk by. Yeah, dog, what's up? Nice jacket. And the guy goes, oh, thank you. He walks back. He's doing a catcalling experiment. Guys walk by. Yeah, dog, what's up? Nice jacket. And the guy goes, oh, thank you. He walks back. He comes back and talks to his cameraman. Like, yo, what's up, girl? He's like, I thought you guys were cool with catcalling.
Starting point is 00:33:34 Well, your friend's obviously gay because he's catcalling me. And you're obviously okay with catcalling because you're hanging out with him. Bingo bango. I think we found a match, sister. you're hanging out with him bingo bango i think we found a match sister uh lo and behold my female friend after complaining about catcalling for the last six months went back and engaged in intercourse with this strange man ah that's so funny and this is his conclusion well i maintain that catcalling is a shitty thing to do you fuck you catcallers, and if you can't find another possible way to meet and socialize with strangers, then you deserve to be alone. This afternoon did give me some possible insight into the mind of guys.
Starting point is 00:34:16 How funny is it that a vice reporter going out and catcalling and saying that like, I spent a day catcalling and I have a little bit of insight into the mind of guys. You're a guy. Why don't you already have insight into the mind of guys? Come on, what would a guy do? What would a man do in this scenario? All the vice reporters like, hey, we should write an article from the perspective of a guy. Okay, does anyone know any?
Starting point is 00:34:42 All right, Todd, do you know any men? Oh, no, I could do this. Okay, what would a guy do? Think back, think back. What would my dad do? Into the mind of a man. Also, the other thing about that video is people get a little uptight because of the race thing. I actually, this is one of those ones.
Starting point is 00:35:00 I talk about this so much stuff on stage. And it is one of those things where there you know there's obviously a thing where white dudes aren't supposed to talk about race that's just what it is and all of the best comedians do I mean first of all so much of comedy is
Starting point is 00:35:17 you know and sociology is noticing that like groups do different things so you know and being good at like articulating those do different things. So, you know, and being good at, like, articulating those observations. You know, ethnic comedy, like, you know, take a guy like Russell Peters. That's, like, 90% of his act. You know, a lot of Def Jam was, you know, this group does this, this group does this. But, you know, it's good when it's something that hasn't been pointed out before.
Starting point is 00:35:42 You know, I think that I make some funny ones like even in the video where you know the i said that try to be a grown white man who likes dragon ball z you kind of make like the observation that like a lot of grown black dudes can like dragon ball z and everyone kind of thinks that's still cool or a little bit they they make dragon ball z cool or like i want i want to be grown into a grown black old black man that wears unfit unreasonably fancy suits for normal life. You know, little things like that where they're just, it's nothing. But I think that you kind of point out a thing
Starting point is 00:36:12 that hasn't been like articulated, related properly. And you're noticing groups. They're trying to make it illegal to notice stuff. And I think the best people can do that in normal life. It's the same way you go, cops. So you go, every time I'm around like a firefighter, that's a certain, you know, way they're kind of like this. And my chick was like, you know, and I kind of, you know, notice things like that. Like I've noticed that
Starting point is 00:36:33 I remember she was telling me like when she works somewhere that a certain, like she noticed a lot of the middle Eastern guys act a certain way, but no, when I meet a middle Eastern guy, I always like wipe that clean. I'm like, so you're ignoring your brain. So your brain says, you know, 90% of the middle Eastern dudes I've met kind of act this sort of way. They're like, they have opinions this sort of way. And then you go, so I have that information and then you ignore it. Obviously, once you get to know them, they can prove it wrong. But for you to be like, every time I see a girl with like big fake lips or whatever, know, this, you know, tons of makeup on the eyes, the blue eye shadow and the big hoop earrings, they act a certain way. So I kind of think a certain way when I see that.
Starting point is 00:37:13 And then you go, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Don't stereotype. Like that's the reason you have a brain. And obviously it's not exclusively race because if you saw a certain, if you saw a white guy dressed like a gangster, you'd be like, OK, he's going to be like you might think he's a certain way. It's just as much culturally as race. But when you ignore like you go, so your brain makes these judgments based on your lifetime of experience and then you go ignore that. And you go, ignore that. Okay, but that's what sociology is. Being like, you know, African cultures are more likely to do this.
Starting point is 00:37:52 And in Australia, the culture is, like, that's literally the entire genre of sociology is that. And a lot of comedy is that. Not all. You know, Jerry Seinfeld's noticing things about places. Or, you know, things. Or how we act as humans. As a species. But it's all, like, noticing, you know, a lot of it's just noticing observations that people haven't before is one type of comedy.
Starting point is 00:38:09 Even alt comedy is noticing observations about comedy. They're kind of like, oh, all comedians do this. And they kind of do these things, you know, if you watch like a lot of these comedy specials where they're kind of like doing an impression of a comedian, even like a Bo Burnham, they're kind of like making fun of things comedians do. So it's all just picking a group and kind of noticing things they do and articulating it better. And they're like, don't want you to do that because you're part of the
Starting point is 00:38:35 wrong group. And you go, yeah, well, unfortunately I'm gonna. One thing I wanted you to check out is, so there was this song and I can't play it on here for copyright reasons, but I think you should check it out. It's called Stop Blaming the White Man. And it's it's by this guy called Knox. And it's a black rapper and an Indian singer. And it showed up on my YouTube feed, and I clicked it, and I was laughing so much, I sent it to like five of my friends.
Starting point is 00:39:11 So the chorus starts out, it's this Indian dude, he's like, you know, kind of like the Drake crew vibe, and he's all, you know, he's dancing, and he goes, and stop blaming the white man.
Starting point is 00:39:20 And the whole gist is like, you know, the black guy kind of raps, and the rapping part's like kind of whatever it's not that funny but uh he goes you know we need to take accountability for ourself that's kind of the thing and then he goes i should have never did in the crowds that i did and then it cuts back to the ending and guy goes i should have never done the guys it is one of the like i burst out laughing both the beginning and the middle.
Starting point is 00:39:45 I'm telling you, check out that song. It's so fucking funny. Knock stop. Stop blaming the white man. I got new merch coming as of today. So go to BBBOfficial.com. And if you're on the Patreon, we have a discount code that's coming today too. And the election recap there. The Patreon, two have a discount code that's coming today too. And the election recap there.
Starting point is 00:40:05 The Patreon, two extra episodes a month. I do early releases whenever I record them early. Right now I'm recording them early a little less because things change so fucking quick. In three days it could be a different world. And that's the only place that I respond to every message. And, you know, it's a good place to support me if you want to do that. Because you got to help out the kid in the movement i'm dropping so much money on these dude i just bought i just spent 300 on amazon for props i'm doing
Starting point is 00:40:32 this uh video this this week i don't know if it's gonna come out this week but i'm doing one where uh it's gonna be a feminist my mom went back to college and i just bought like the funniest i just bought i just went like looking up all this funny stuff I've Danny's gonna play a kid and I bought him like a propeller hat like all this stuff I got carried away but that's just the prop budget for that one video alone was 300 bucks okay so boys questions I want to answer this question if someone sent me because it's a good one and I'm not gonna say who it is or whatever, but he says, my chick brings up marriage. This is from the Patreon too.
Starting point is 00:41:08 My chick brings up marriage all the time after four years of being together. And I don't want to get married until at least my 40s. I have no interest in this. And I'm in my late 20s. And what should I do? How can I get her to stop talking about this? And this is like a tough one that I think a lot of people deal with. You're dating someone and they want to move it forward
Starting point is 00:41:32 and you don't want to move it forward. But there is like and you kind of go, am I being an asshole? What's the moral code? And I think the moral code for yours, I'll tell you the moral code in general and then I'll tell you the moral code for your specific scenario. Because I have had, you know, of course, everyone's had some version of this situation, unless they just, you know, pick the chick and got married and did the whole thing. But the truth is, it's not absolute. It depends on their age. So in general, I do think there is a point where it is wrong to string a girl along forever. So if you are dating someone and you're, you know, you're getting close to like 30 or whatever and you're together and you've been together for five years and she wants to move it forward to marriage or whatever and you don't. If you're planning to get married and stay with her forever, I think you could probably hold off for another two years, you know, because that's the last card you have. But you can't hold off for another 10 years.
Starting point is 00:42:28 Like, all of these things are little cards, you know? She wants something you have. And then once she gets the marriage card, she's going to want a baby. So if you're planning to, like, I want to be, I'm going to be with this chick forever, like, that's that, it's settled, like, we're in. But I just don't want to move everything so quickly.
Starting point is 00:42:41 I don't want to have a marriage. I don't want a kid. I want to push all this stuff a little bit. But you're going to be with her. I don't think there's any marriage. I don't want a kid. I want to push all this stuff a little bit, but you're going to be with her. I don't think there's any like moral problem of like delaying that as far as possible. But if you're kind of like, I'm going to wait,
Starting point is 00:42:51 I don't want to do any of this stuff for 10 years. And then she's 40. What's like, well, you kind of need to understand you have to let her go. So it's an age thing. So if you're,
Starting point is 00:43:00 but if you're, and I've had that with a girl where we were like, you know, getting 30 and it's like, I know that I'm kind of just not interested in any of that stuff right now. I got too much stuff.
Starting point is 00:43:08 I'm moving all around. I just, it's, and as a guy, you can do that when you're older. Like I do, Bill Burr just had kids at fucking like 48. It's Aaron Berg. He just had a kid. He's like, you know, 47 or eight or something like that. And it's like, no big deal. It's totally, but you can't, but they can't.
Starting point is 00:43:24 So you have to date people younger. And that's kind no big deal. It's totally, but you can't, but they can. So you have to date people younger. And that's kind of the game. If you're dating someone that's like 22 and you know, you're kind of stringing her along and it's like, and you kind of in your mind, you're like, I'm going to get out of here. But you can't do that when they're fucking 30. And you also have to let, and you also can't do that for 10 years. So that is the thing. If you kind of know, I don't want to be in like a long-term relationship
Starting point is 00:43:46 forever. Like I'm a date. I don't want to date a meet a chick right now and be with her for the next 30 years. Like I know that. Well, then you kind of should date girls that are young enough. And then, yeah, like every two, three, yeah. After three, four years when it's getting too serious, you know, two years, probably you'd be like, you know, find a way to get out. Then the question becomes, how do you break up option? could get caught cheating but that's the hard part and there's how do you break up you man up and do it you can't which sucks no one wants to do that you make up some bullshit about why you're not compatible you convince her i'll tell you what doesn't work the version where you just be like i'll be like a crappy boyfriend until she gets fed up and leave she won't leave not maybe you're maybe you'll be a really crappy but most guys you
Starting point is 00:44:30 know they kind of play that move you'll just fight more and they won't go anywhere because like the truth is most people stick in relationships both genders stick it out for you know they'll stick it out so unless they're already but if this person is trying to get married to you and they're looking for it maybe they'll they'll get pushed so far where they say, you know what? Fuck it. I'm like, I need this, whatever. But the truth is you can say, listen, I'm not, if you, if you're kind of saying, Oh, 10 years down the line, maybe you're basically saying no. So if the answer is no, in this case, you're, you're both like basically 30 or almost there. She wants to get married. Now you want to get married in 10 years.
Starting point is 00:45:06 You know, that's not compatible in my opinion. It's like I would say, you know, that doesn't make sense. I bet my guess would be if that girl who like talks about nonstop wants to get married, if you broke up with her, in two years she'll be married to a guy. And you'll be with some other chick that's her five years ago and who cares? So I think everyone's a little too precious about all this stuff. It's like, dude, there's so many chicks. It's like there's no perfect one.
Starting point is 00:45:32 There's ones that are, like, close to perfect for you, and they have benefits that maybe they came up with you, so they kind of know your whole story, and that whole thing's a benefit. You know, they saw the whole thing happen, so they have, like, a respect for you the way that other people don't but so you know 50 of people kind of have kids with someone that get divorced and end up with someone else anyway so it's like i wouldn't take it so seriously in your mind decide like am i gonna be with this person in 10 years or do i really kind of want out and i'm just pushing everything because and if you're gonna be with someone if you're gonna be with them for
Starting point is 00:46:04 like ever in your mind then yeah fucking delay that shit pushing everything because, and if you're going to be with someone, if you're going to be with them for like ever in your mind, then yeah, fucking delay that shit as much as possible. And if you really, you're not, and you know, you're going to try to make her wait for 12 years. The answer to me, yeah, get out. How do you do that? That's where the fun begins. Not easy. So crappy. Cause really, if you've been with someone for four years, yeah, newsflash, you're married what's the difference the only difference is you can push back the kids and all that other stuff you know you can you can push back all the nonsense a little bit by not giving them all the cards out at once gotham okay i didn't even really want to talk about this and i'm gonna
Starting point is 00:46:40 end on this but i honestly i i didn't want to talk about this article, but everyone kept sending it to me, and I felt like I should weigh in on it. The boys cast got a little bad press. The kid, people weren't happy with the kid. So Gotham, Gothamist, which is a New York publication, did an article saying, Brooklyn comedy club Eastville has been hosting indoor comedy shows despite covid rules.
Starting point is 00:47:11 And so what happened is this comedy club Eastville and among others, they've been going out of business and they go, you know what, we're going to do some comedy shows. And then the tattletale industry that, you know, they've written like three articles being like this person's this person is running a comedy show. This person's running a comedy show. The tattletale industry decided to put some press and then they made me like the centerpiece of the whole thing. So I'll read you what happened. It's kind of funny, but it's also just like so ridiculous. Guidelines in the state liquor Authority explicitly forbid live comedy,
Starting point is 00:47:47 even in reopened restaurants. In emails to Gothamist, the SLA confirmed that these guidelines are still in place. And a spokesperson for the New York City Health Department wrote that while comedy clubs are permitted to open in a restaurant capacity, no performances are allowed,
Starting point is 00:48:01 which is ridiculous. You know, you're allowed to go to a bar. You're allowed to have to go to a bar. You're allowed to sit, have to go to a restaurant. You're allowed to sit, but you're not allowed to have someone on stage. What difference does it make? Well, according to their article, I guess laughing is worse, but that's not what the actual truth is. The actual truth of what the situation is, is it's just an oversight. They haven't, they just don't care. They probably think that if they open up comedy clubs, then they're going to have to open up bigger things. They say, maybe they think that
Starting point is 00:48:26 it's going to be like a gateway to something else. But the truth is there is no difference between people being in, you know, a little place eating their food and people being in a little place socially distanced with someone on the stage. Strip clubs are doing this. And you know, the other thing is like, there's like illegal strip clubs open all over and no one's ratting on those because it's a progressive, you know, thing to be into, like, you know the other thing is like there's like illegal strip clubs open all over and no one's ratting on those because it's a progressive you know thing to be into like you know all that sort of stuff is you know a positive thing to like right so there's no way they would ever take down that or like a bless burlesque show these people just hate comedy they hate people like me and they see it happening and they go take it down and to be you know they get to sort
Starting point is 00:49:04 of pretend they're on the good guys. Indoor risk for COVID-19 transmission increases as more air is exhaled. Like, you know, it's like, well, yeah, but if you're just talking with your friends like this, it's one thing. But if you're laughing, like it's COVID city. Like, all right. I mean, dude, at this point you go, I mean, dude, at this point you go, I don't, okay, shut it all down. Shut it all. Shut the world down. Sure.
Starting point is 00:49:37 But the part is when they talk about this, it's like, I can see if someone feels safe, like, you know, as a safety and safety head and the tattletales. I don't, I don't think these are a good faith. I think they just like to, you know, rat on people. But if I have someone that I've met that's like, is that, you know, there are people that are just real worried. I remember, you know, talking to some people and the way they saw it is like, this is, you know, if I get it, like, that'll be, I'll die, you know,
Starting point is 00:50:00 and they just really, you know, it's very serious. And I get if someone thinks that. But you can't, they can't see the other way where, yes, four different comedy clubs, friends of mine, you can't see the pain that it's causing the other way. Corner comedy clubs shutting down. They're trying to do a GoFundMe to raise money. The Creek and Cave, which was like the home of Legion of Skanks and all this other stuff for years, just announced yesterday.
Starting point is 00:50:26 Big message. She was very nice to me when I first moved here, Rebecca. They said, you know, after years, I couldn't go into insurmountable debt that I'm closing this. It's like a legacy club that has tons of history. All these famous people did their specials there. They had a TV show, this historic place. They're shutting down. Like I said, the corner, uh, I know like four other clubs, Eastville was going to be one of
Starting point is 00:50:52 them. And then this guy who, you know, you're saying this guy is the devil for opening this comedy club. Nobody said to me, I don't know him that well, but when I went to the comedy show, he, you know, he, he really likes me or whatever, and he likes the comedy or my stuff or whatever. So he was like, can you come headline, start headlining here? And then he goes, because I still don't know all the clubs. When I first moved here, I was like, ah, it's one of those Brooklyn clubs. I kind of wrote it off. But he sounds like he's a cool guy.
Starting point is 00:51:16 And he goes, I was like, so how come you're kind of doing this? And he was like, well, I have kids to feed. That's what he told me. He's like, dude, I have two kids to to feed and i have to pay rent on this building and otherwise like my kids are not gonna have food to eat like we're gonna go on like welfare essentially and that's the real story that's what he said he goes or i go completely bankrupt let it die try to get another job in covid which is damn near impossible so i go or I go from a comedy club owner who is supporting a family of people to, we move out of our, I go bankrupt, move out of my house,
Starting point is 00:51:55 go on social assistance, I don't even know how that works, or borrow some crazy amount of money, and I go from a comedy club owner to a guy on welfare with a family to feed. So those are his options. And he decided that he goes, so I'm going to start doing these comedy shows. It's socially distanced. Everyone's wearing a mask. He's trying all the different things.
Starting point is 00:52:14 He goes, we're going to have most of the people is going to be on live streams. He's like, can we live stream your set? Because he can make some extra money doing this. He's trying to do anything he can to just like keep his business kind of running. We'll still, you know, following the guidelines. Like this guy was very, you know, you walk in, he goes, go put the mask on. He's very into the mask.
Starting point is 00:52:30 And just thinking that you're shutting this down and being like, I'm the good one. Sick, right? I'm shutting this down. It was like, you're so sick, dude. You know, shut it down. Whatever. It doesn't matter to me.
Starting point is 00:52:48 I'll get to the part about me. Another layer of risk lurks in the comics themselves. Many of the names on Eastville's calendars have been touring through the pandemic and performing in states with looser guidelines or at venues with lax enforcement, often floating social distancing guidelines. I think you know who he's about to be talking about.
Starting point is 00:53:08 To take pictures with fans and friends. This includes comedian Ryan Long, who's expressed disdain for safety protocols. Now, first of all, in the other states, is stain for... Okay, so imagine you go, some states are open and some states there. There's obviously a difference of opinion. And my is I'm not, I don't have a disdain for the safety protocols as much as I have disdain for the politicization of the safety protocols. I mean, anyone with a brain can see that the, you know, the, the vaccine thing got announced like the day after they said Trump's out, it was just like so obvious. Right. And of course, all this stuff's politicized and they just shut New York down again. And I don't
Starting point is 00:53:48 know the answer. I've been doing a funny video on the street about because the vaccines by Pfizer and I was saying to people, do you think that Pfizer is going to make all our dicks soft in the vaccine so that they can sell us Viagra? That's something I've been toying around with. Not toying around with. I already filmed it. We'll see if it's funny. I haven't edited it yet. But so it's like some governors are saying one thing. Some governors are saying other things to say that to have an opinion of which one of those you agree with doesn't make you like the devil. It just makes you someone that's weighing in with your opinion. But what they said about me and the boys in an October episode of his podcast, he said, men don't like to wear masks because they're crappy, crappy to wear. He told his listeners,
Starting point is 00:54:35 you know, but out of the gates with these journalism pieces, you know, everyone knows how they misquote. It's kind of like there's a lot of things where I've been saying the bigger or more popular I've got, the more you notice all of these things because they start happening to you. Like people have these conspiracy theories about you and you go, well, that's not true. So then you start being a little more skeptical about conspiracy theories about other people. But anyway, I don't know if most people probably listened to that episode, but what I said was, I didn't say men like to wear masks because they're crappy to wear. My point was that there was an article saying that men wear masks, men don't want to wear masks right now because they think they are going to look more ugly. That was the statement made by
Starting point is 00:55:24 this article. I can't remember who it was by. There's a clip. They said, men don't want to wear masks because they think it makes them look sexy. And then they showed some really sexy guy, Tom Hardy, and they were like, look, Tom Hardy in a mask. And I said, that's not the reason that they don't want to wear them. You know, like there's a million reasons. Like when you're jogging, you don't want to wear it because it's annoying. And again, I'll wear the mask if I'm on the subway, if I'm in, you know, not with my friends. And I ideally not anywhere, but like I just adhere to the social standards of wherever. If I'm on the airplane, yeah, I'm not afraid of getting, I wouldn't want to wear it.
Starting point is 00:55:56 But when I go there and that's what everyone's doing, I don't like get taken off the flight, kicking and screaming like that Asian dude. That one video. They're like, buy my freedoms. I just, you know, I adhere to the same way I would in normal life. If I go to a place and they act a certain way, you kind of fit into the thing. I'm not just constantly trying to like stir up turmoil in my normal life. Like on the subway and people are looking at me like, why don't you wear a mask? And I'm like, suck my dick mask.
Starting point is 00:56:22 No, I still do whatever. I go to the comedy club. I put the mask on. If it was my comedy club, would I run it differently? Maybe. I don't know. But just, yeah, it doesn't mean you won't do it, but you don't wear a mask because it sucks. Obviously who wants to wear a fucking mask? And then, and okay, then they go and you aren't likely to be impacted by coronavirus. That's a factual statement. That's what Ryan said. And again, no context.
Starting point is 00:56:50 They said, they said, also, men are under the misconception that they aren't likely to be impacted by coronavirus or some version of that. They said, men don't think that, you know, men don't think they're likely to be impacted by coronavirus. And I said, well, you aren't. And it's like my factual statement that he's quoting is in true. Doesn't mean that you can't get it to reiterate. It doesn't mean that you can't get it. It doesn't mean that people aren't dying from it. And it doesn't mean this isn't like a real thing that's fucking up everything. But you as an individual, as a person that, you know, has a math degree myself, there's something called probabilities and statistics. So if you said, what percentage are you likely to be impacted
Starting point is 00:57:39 by coronavirus? And you said, I don't know, like 20%. Well, is that unlikely? And then you could also say what's impacted me. If you get it and there's no symptoms and you didn't even notice, I don't consider, I wouldn't say that would be impacted. So now what's the percentage down that you actually like have something bad happen to you? Are we down to like 1%? Are we down to 0.1%? Like what would be considered likely? I mean, I guess we could say 50%, right? 50% is probably likely. If you said someone's likely to win the election, I think we'd go with 50%. So if we're down at about 1%, I think you're unlikely to be impacted about it. You're unlikely to be hit by a car. It doesn't mean you shouldn't wear your seatbelt, but you are unlikely to be hit by a car.
Starting point is 00:58:23 In a September interview with Roseanne Barr, he said people are sick of health restrictions and criticize New Yorkers and Californians for being overcautious. Yes, I think they're being overcautious for political reasons. And that is also factually true that people are sick of health restrictions. That's like not an opinion. That is also factually true that people are sick of health restrictions. That's like not an opinion. Do you think that no one is impacted by, do you think that there's no one in the world that is sick of it?
Starting point is 00:58:56 I said some people are sick of the restrictions. So it goes on and on and on. But I see both sides of this. Listen, I understand if you're like a health professional and you're seeing it and you're trying to make do with it, you're trying to, you know, make it work and blah, blah, blah. But I'm also seeing people's livelihoods be crushed. And I go, we got to strike some sort of a balance. And I don't think this is the right balance. Imagine just like being a person that wakes up and writes articles to take down comedy clubs. What a life.
Starting point is 00:59:29 What a couple weeks, eh? This has been crazy. I got lots of funny videos coming out. I'm really like, this is the first video in a while that I'm filming this weekend that I was going to sleep just like chuckling to myself about it. And I got the new merch, BBBOfficial.com. And a new episode on the Patreon. Lots of stuff. Everyone's been supportive.
Starting point is 00:59:52 I appreciate everyone's messages, everyone sharing the podcast on social media. People who post the videos on Reddit, that helps a lot. You know, that's a lot of times they go viral through there. So people have been, you know, anyone who wants to do that, if you're in like any Reddit threads or stuff like that, when you take the Monday videos and post them there it kind of helps a lot and telling all the friends in person the boys movement has taken over bbb
Starting point is 01:00:12 okay i didn't want honestly didn't want to cover that article because i was like i don't want to draw attention to these people but everyone kept coaxing me i was like you gotta talk about this look at this guy guy trashing you. Okay. Ryan Long signing off for the boys. Peace!
