Now, enjoy the show. called Andrew Sullivan racist, basically. He ran a segment called The Problem with White People. He completely exaggerated all of these claims. He praises individuals like Ta-Nehisi Coates because Jon Stewart is a lazy, feckless old man who has lost, he's lost it. And it's really,

really sad. But you know what? We're going to see people rise up in his stead and do the job that he was supposed to be doing, which is being honest and being real. Instead, what he's doing is he's talking shit. Oh, white people have a real conversation. I have a real conversation about systemic racism. Yeah. Unfortunately for us, he brought on Andrew Sullivan and Andrew Sullivan did a very, very bad job. So we have the video here. Look at this. You can already tell he's going to lose just by how he's sitting. You know, you can tell he's just destruction is on its way.

Why the fuck would any person do a digital debate like this? Because what happens is this morbidly obese woman over here on the right starts talking over him and says, I'm shutting you down now. And he can't talk because he's on a TV screen in the background and she's in the foreground on camera. So this was just a very miserable idea, but ultimately comes to the point where, you know, we have Andrew Sullivan on the whole time, I guess. And, uh, let's, let's play a little bit. Let's see. Maybe we're at that. No, if you can't diagnose the problem, you can't fix it. We need to think about how we help the family restructure itself because it's it's key. Let's boil it down. Why do you think the family got that way? I don't know what the exact point is, where he called Andrew Sullivan a racist and the fat woman starts saying, I'm going to shut you down.

Let me see if we can jump to it. I don't know. Whatever. The point is, the segment was called The Problem with, oh, here it is, The Problem with White People, five days ago, with almost a million views, 33,000 likes, and then Jon Stewart makes a joke about how, get your clickbait in now. This is where we're at. This is what Jon Stewart is. And I don't know, man. It's just sad to see. It's know i mean but this has infected a lot of people in our country who you know let's be perfectly honest just don't have real problems they don't have real problems and it's almost like how you know teenagers have to like push up against something you know it's just like a natural part of growing up being a teenager i feel like when you're at

this comfortable place in life where everything's been so cushy for you like you need some sort of problem to fix you know and that used to be like going in a woodshed and making something or like fixing something in your house. But now it's being an anti-racist and reading, you know, Ibram Kendi and creating problems that don't exist. You know, for instance, even and this is a problem across the board in the U.S., not just in Democrat areas, because even in red Tennessee, we have a program to give you free college if you're a minority only, okay? And it explicitly spells out in there that Cubans can go get free college, be a doctor or a nurse, if you fit into this racial category, okay? I don't want their help, okay? As a Cuban, I don't want their help. I don't want the government to pay for me to go to school because I'm Cuban. I think it's ludicrous. It's offensive and tells me that I'm somehow less capable to go and earn it on my own or do it on my own or just get the grades necessary to get a scholarship or whatever

it is than somebody who's not Cuban, somebody who's white. And I'll tell you this. This is actually an interesting thing, I think, for a lot of people. You know what real privilege is? It's not white privilege. It's the fact that I'm not worried about my kids getting into college. Not just because of position or stature or any of those things, but no. Because they can write down on their college applications that they're Latino. They can write down that they're Hispanic. I'm not worried about them making it in.

They'll make it into whatever school they want to go to. But if they had to write down that they were white because my wife is white, then I would actually worry. I did find the clip, so let me play a little bit of this. Realizing all white people, the systems that were racist that were put in place. Systems? Yes, the systems that were put in place. I'd like you to explain exactly what they are. Well, I thought I explained it earlier about the GI Bill and about

the New Deal. That's one thing. I want to know about these systems. I just explained it. Housing. That's one. And I agree with that. Andrew, you're not living on the same fucking planet we are. He's on video, dude. Have him in the studio, man.

See, this is the point. Andrew Sullivan, what the fuck was he thinking? That was the most piss poor, non-answer, non-response to any debate. And Jon Stewart gets frustrated because Andrew Sullivan didn't offer anything substantive. Jon Stewart is wrong. He's right about some things like housing in terms of systemic racism. He's correct about that. But the problem is you need someone to actually be like, Jon, Jon, Jon, have a seat. Like, ask me the question. Let me give you the answer. Instead, Andrew Sullivan is just like, that's one thing. So what? One thing. Saying it's one thing is basically like, I agree with you. I agree with you, but I'm angry. What's the fucking point of having that conversation? But let's, let's get to the point where the morbid, low beast woman

chimes in. I think you are not living in the planet most Americans are, which is why this kind of extremism, this anti-white extremism, is losing popular support, is creating a backlash, is going to elect Republicans and undo a lot of the good you think you're doing. This is what happens when you don't talk about it this is what happens when white people don't talk about it is you have racist dog whistle tropes like this that actually perpetuate and perpetuate and perpetuate so i am i i and i did not come on this on this show to sit here and argue with another white man that's one of the reasons that we don't even engage with white men at race to dinner oh seriously what the fuck she doesn't leave her desserts don't even engage with white men at race to dinner oh seriously what the fuck she doesn't leave her desserts for that okay honestly if white men were going to do something about racism you had 400 years yeah it's called one of the bloodiest motherfucking wars ever

fought and it was a whole bunch of motherfucking ass white people who died in the civil war spare me your fucking bullshit dude we weren't the first in the united states to abolish slavery but we did abolish it and it was one of the bloodiest battles fought guess what slavery still exists and i don't see these ladies going over to go save the people who are enslaved right now who made her fucking shirt i would like to ask i would like to ask her how many slaves she thinks exist in africa right now there are more slaves alive today than there were back then back in the clearly there are more slaves today than than there were back then. There are more slaves today than there were then. You notice how she shut,

she started talking over Andrew? Yeah, that was obnoxious. Well, don't agree to go on shows in this format. That's what's going to happen. Super famous people will come and they'll be like, hey, want to be on my podcast?

And it's, this is, remember this moment. No, don't get fucked. No, no, no, no, no. It's, sit down in real life. So we don't have people on the tv screen as guests yeah it's it's it's stupid it's irritating you'll get accused of of beating them down badgering and not giving a chance and and then what what will they do they'll they'll

sub in other people and make a meme and just shit all over you won't have a real conversation you don't do this there's a courage differential too you know the courage differential of like if you're on a screen suddenly you're not there you don't have to have consequences for what you say if you're in front of somebody and you're with them you're gonna find out where somebody really is will they say that thing to that person and in in person check out this next part okay um so i just know i'm shutting you down right now um I am so tired of just engaging this conversation in this deep hurt that Andrew has about talking about racism. And Chip, God bless you, but I'm going to put everybody in the thing. All of us white people do this.

I don't care if we say we're abolitionists. I don't care if we say we're progressive. I don't care if we're we're abolitionists i don't care if we say we're progressive i don't care if we're literally members of the kkk every single white person upholds these systems and structures of white supremacy and we have got to talk about it always annoys me when they're like we need to have a conversation. Finger snap right now. Let's remove it from the calling me a racist. Let's you're you've been doing a pretty good job with it yourself there. But, Andrew, you're taking words out of context and blowing them out of proportion so that you don't have to deal with having to figure out a way to deconstruct the barriers that were put in place for black people in this country and give them a better chance. Your opening segment,

your opening segment was brilliant. Brilliant. Talking over him. Biggest reductionist, one-sided. I just can't stand listening to Andrew Sullivan. I can stand listening to Jon Stewart be wrong. I can. Because Jon Stewart is like, here's my statement. Here's my argument. But Andrew Sullivan just keeps saying your argument's bad. One-sided.

That's one thing. He's not actually saying anything. When Jon was like, you're not even on this planet, he was like, you're actually the one that's not even on this planet. You're calling me racist. You're on Jon Stewart's show and that's what you're going to say? Let me answer Jon Stewart's questions very – answer to his points very, very simply. Jon, you're absolutely correct about the GI Bill and housing. I think the history in Chicago is profound, the redlining and blockbusting.

Redlining, the term actually comes from Chicago where the real estate companies would be like black people can only live here. Don't sell to anybody. Yeah. And blockbusting is when they actually destroyed the property value with the fear of black people so they could buy up homes at discounted rates. All of that's true. It's horrifying too. But you see, the issue is it's now been almost 40 years since we outlawed those practices. And in many of the areas, like the area I grew up in, it's no longer just black. Now you have Latinos, you have Polish immigrants, you have black people, obviously, as still the larger portion in many of these impoverished communities. In which case, when the progressive leftists come out and they propose race-based solutions, what's really happening is

other people who are impacted in much the same way, not identically, are being left behind. So you want to talk about the south side of Chicago, redlining and blockbusting. The reason why these areas are incredibly impoverished is because a combination of the two, redlining and blockbusting. So now you have black families that have property values that are very low, that are hard to transfer wealth to the next generation, which creates areas of increased poverty. And increased poverty means increased crime. Over the past 40 or so years, white people, Latinos and others have moved into many of these areas because they're also poor. They are also being negatively impacted by the remnants of racist policies, but they're not black themselves.

That's right. A white South Sider in Chicago who lives in a very densely black area is experiencing crime and poverty and an inability to transfer wealth and poor maintenance and poor public services because of racist policies against black people. So I don't want to leave anybody behind. The solution is quite simple, class-based solutions. And if the concern of the progressives are that, yeah, well, black people are disproportionately hurt by these policies, I got good news for you. If that's true, then class-based solutions will disproportionately help black people. Problem solved. But Andrew Sullivan doesn't give any of those answers, and neither does Jon Stewart. Yeah. No, they're not interested in answers. And the truth is, is that, you know, people like Jon Stewart have blinders on to the realities of the actual situation they're talking about.

And at the core of all of this, again, is children because critical race theory is really being imposed on little kids. And that's the plan. You know, again, separate them and change their reality, create chaos in society. And when you do that and you get these blinders on with people like him, he doesn't realize what's really going on in those classrooms. He doesn't want to know. and that's the truth of it. He's not investigating. He does not want to know because if he did know, he couldn't have that conversation. He couldn't do that.

I think Jon Stewart, in his opening segment, he struggled to read the word reparation. And many people pointed out it's because he's reading a prompter. It's because he doesn't actually know what he's talking about. Oh, 100%. He's soaked in narcissism, too, that whole time. What happened to him, man? He was right on the pulse up until like a year ago or less. He joined the cult, buddy.

Is this like what – I think LeBron James, all of a sudden one day he's like, yeah. Yeah, white people are the problem. And like all of a sudden you see now he's a race baiter. Now he's talking about race all the time. It's a cult. It's crazy. It really is a cult. Well, and the thing is, is like, you know, there's a lot of things about the human condition

that just don't change and people wanting an enemy is one of them. And when you have such a wonderful life that most Americans have had in terms of, if you look at the vast majority of history, even if you're in a bad position in America, you're incredibly lucky comparatively to how humans have lived their lives from, you know, the beginning of existence. And people forget that. And you need that thing to make your enemy that has ruined your life, no matter what. It doesn't matter. Even rich people do it where they're like, I would have even more if this person didn't do this. Everybody's always got to have somebody

that they push up against that is their, you know, person holding them back from their highest good. And they're making white people that. I got a question. Would you, this would be to Jon Stewart, but you guys obviously answer, would you be willing to cause financial harm to impoverished minorities for the sake of another impoverished minority group of a different race? Oh, my God.

And he would say, oh, absolutely not. That's what he would do. Absolutely not. So my issue here is when we're talking about the smallest minorities, let me dig deeper. Do you think that a smaller minority group should get preference than a larger minority group? Say there's a race of people in the United States that make up 10% to 20% of the population, and then there's a group that makes up 5%. Should that 5% receive any kind of preferential treatment because they're a smaller minority?

I don't personally, I don't think race, like me and you, we look the same to me. We just look like American dudes. I don't know. 100%. I should not be treated differently than you and have more opportunities than you do. If we're born, we're born on the same day.

We live in the same country. I should not have more opportunities than you do because my family came from somewhere different. That's ridiculous. But you're not white, right? Technically, by their standards, no. But to me, I'd consider myself probably pretty white. But it's funny because if I— Well, let me ask you.

Did you ever actually in your life one day look at yourself and say, I'm white? No. Exactly. No. This is the weird reality. It's like a weird at yourself and say, I'm white? No, exactly. No, this is the, this is the weird. It's like a weird question too. Like, are you white? It's like, well, like use your eyeballs, bro. It's not just that it's these, uh, these woke people want white people to have a white identity. Like Ian, have you, have you ever in your life just like one day been like, I am white. Yeah. Well, it was with a question mark at the end. I looked in the

mirror and I was like, I'm white. Like I'm trying to understand my skin is not white,, I am white. Yeah, well, it was with a question mark at the end. I looked in the mirror and I was like, I'm white? Like, I'm trying to understand. No, no, that's not what I'm asking. My skin is not white, but I am white. I'm asking you. I'm just coming to terms with it. That's not what I asked. I asked when you were younger. No, no, no. The answer is no. When I did realize it was a confusing realization, like, I'll accept that this is what they're calling me, though I'm not white. I never had any kind

of weird, like, racial identity. And the funny thing is I grew up in a neighborhood where my one friend, like, racial identity. And the funny thing is, I grew up in a neighborhood where my one friend, Andy, who would call everybody by their racial slur, called me gook all the time. And it's like, that was him. He was Cartman. He was like, it was Eric Cartman. So he would just use racial slurs for people. And everybody thought it was funny. Because it was like, you know, to be honest, we all watch South Park. And so trying to- They were doing that stuff. Yeah. emulating what was happening on TV.

And so he was trying to be edgy and funny. So knowing that my group of friends viewed me as Korean didn't mean anything to me. It shows you how powerful culture is too. Yeah. So my friends knew that we'd eat bulgogi for dinner or whatever and teriyaki and stuff. Even though my mom is American, but she still had her mom cooking this kind of stuff. They knew all that. They would make these jokes.

There was never a moment in my life where I was like – back then that I'm like, wow, these white people are looking at me and they're calling me a different race. They're hurting me. It's what's going on. I was always just like, oh, yeah, I guess I am Korean. It is funny, isn't it? There was a point where I went to South America and I was in Chile and they were calling me Thor because I looked like Chris Hemsworth. To them, I guess I looked like Chris Hemsworth. Ah, that's a stretch.

Did they see an eye doctor? Yeah, exactly. I don't look like – but to them, it was basically a racist thing. To them, I was a white guy with long hair. He roasted you, bro. I don't know. I think they need glasses. We can agree.

I look nothing like Chris Hemsworth. But to these people in South America I was a white guy with long hair So it was a very racist I wasn't offended by it You remind me of something You want real racism? Go to China China is the most racist

I've been all over the world China is the most racist country And it's not close There is nothing that is a close second I went with a very famous black celebrity, and the amount of racism thrown at him in China is like something I've never seen before. And you have to understand, they use the N-word in their language too. It means a different thing in Mandarin. It means like that there, but it sounds the exact same as N-word here.

But they also do it in a way that is they try to pretend they're not saying it, but they are saying it. And so we had somebody with us who was black who speaks Mandarin and they were a translator and they could tell the difference. And generally with Americans, that's not the case. They don't have somebody with them speaking Mandarin unless they are Chinese. And in many cases if it's a celebrity it's somebody deeply tied to the communist party well we had our own person um because we knew that i was very woke to communism and i was like i had worn this person um it was a con and it was it was crazy the amount of times that you remember when they banned black people from m's? During COVID. Oh, yes. I do remember that in China. They did.

They banned black people in China from McDonald's. Was it only McDonald's? I thought it was multiple things. I think it was multiple things. But the video, yeah, the video of it was, look at this. McDonald's apologized after a restaurant in China bans black people. Yes. This happened at more than just McDonald's, though.

I remember seeing news stories from a bunch of other places where it had become a cultural thing where they were, like, blaming black people for COVID. Yeah. You know? And it's really sad. But China, it's not even close. I mean, the experience we had there was rough. It was bad. It was very bad.

I would imagine. Han supremacist? Is that a fair way to classify? Yo, Asians are racist not i'm not sure i've never heard that term before han supremacy like the han dynasty oh i think isn't it han h-a-n no the hans were different yeah okay well the hans weren't they in europe until uh yeah it was like it was like it was among it was like five six hundred a.d the hans were early i have a little mongolian in me i didn't want well i didn't it. One of my sisters did one of those 23andMe things.

All of these Southeast Asian cultures think they're racially superior type of people. And this is a generalization. Obviously, not everyone that lives there is racist, but it's culturally, apparently. The Han supremacy thing is interesting because the Uyghurs are not Han. So they're being treated like dog shit. They're being raped. They're being treated. I mean, everybody loves to say never again.

Well, you're letting it happen again. Yeah, well, you know, Russia. Russia bad. Really, you want to wake up, man. Talk about ending slavery, dude. We got to look at the Uyghurs. Yeah. Yeah, it's, you know, it's sad to see Jon Stewart in this position.

It's sad to see. He's a shell of himself. Well, doing the problem with white people is just like come on dude you want to have a conversation about housing and stuff like for sure but he's just going down that racist rabbit hole yeah you don't get more low rent than that i'd want to ask him do you think that people should be judged based on the content of their character or the color of their skin yeah and what would he say his brain would burst at that question no he's gonna he's yeah right he's gonna. He's going to give you some – well, I mean we've got to take into consideration the realities of it. It's like yes or no, bro, one or two, true or false, pick one.

Don't fucking give me your workaround bullshit excuse for why you're a fucking racist. Well, the answer I've seen them going with on this is that like, well, if Martin Luther King was alive today, he would educate you on this. He wasn't talking about that. He was actually meaning something very different but you're just saying that and you're misusing what he's saying because if you look at everything he says then it's very different and it's like that's not the question the question is do you agree with that statement or not the idea that um white people have prioritized what does he say he says white people prioritized white comfort over black survival is just fucking stupid.

Because the real, you want to break it down for you? So he's in therapy. The majority of any ethnic group has a tendency, had a tendency throughout history to protect its own ethnic group. Typically because of cultural separations, which resulted in war and conflict. The easiest way to identify someone as not being a part of your community was by their race. If you were, say, French, and you're in a village full of white people all speaking French, and some dudes up speaking English, fucking war. Eventually, when they expand, you end up with Arab nations and, you know, the Ottoman Empire, and then seeing different colored people was the easiest way to be like, you're clearly not from where we

are, and that's war, because like wars were breaking out. Nowadays, we all kind of live around each other. So the reality is it's the majority has always been favoring the majority. The English would not favor a Frenchman in English territory just because they were like you're not part of this. That's all changing now. But it's people like Jon Stewart that are bringing us all right back into the mess, into the bullshit. And they use lines that sound like bad therapists. I believe – I will never give up on that, on John. He's done so much good.

I think he's the guy to talk to about the differential, maybe him and James Lindsay together about how it's a race issue but it's a class issue. And those are very – we need to get down to the idiosyncrasies. But ask yourself, would John even have that conversation, like legit one-on-one at a table and debate him? I don't think he would anymore. He doesn't have the gravity to do it. He doesn't understand what the issues are anymore. He doesn't get it.

He's disconnected. And that's the most dangerous thing in this world is if you're disconnected from the lives of normal people, you start listening to uppity people like an uppity therapist in Manhattan who's telling you that this is the reality of black people. Well, the reality is, is that in elections in New York, the people voting for the crazy progressive left wing nuttery that he's out there pushing are white people in Manhattan. Black people in the Bronx and Latinos in the Bronx, those people are voting for much more conservative policing policies. You know, I can't explain that. I don't think Jon Stewart's producers or whoever for his show would have someone like james lindsey on no andrew sullivan was an easy target 100 he he he was a it was a miserable performance by sullivan that is what it is you know i'm tired of looking

up at these old people and i'm more interested in just doing the work agreed it's remarkable uh i remember when i was younger I remember looking up to people. There was never any real hero or anything that I had on any subject matter. But I do remember this moment in my life where things sort of changed, and that was when my dad couldn't answer a question for me. When I was a little kid, I'd be like, hey, dad, why is this? And he'd give me an answer. Why is that?

He'd give me an answer. I remember I'd be like, hey, I have a problem with this. And he'd be like, well, you need to do that. And I'd go, oh, okay, hey, that worked. And then one day when I was like 18 i was like hey dad this thing happened i need help and he goes i have no idea and i went what and he was like i i don't know what you should do and then i was like oh shit what the fuck is this all about yeah my dad always my dad doesn't know i've been thinking about marriage lately because like it's just as a business decision like you know dating girl and i want to like give her money so the best way to do that is to get married so it's tax

deductible or whatever it's tax but i was like i gotta ask my dad first and i was like what am i gonna get out of that like i only i can decide what i'm gonna do with my life no no tell me go for it or don't do it yeah he's gonna give you advice i'm gonna do what i would i would still ask if you have a good relationship with your dad i would talk to him how fortunate am i to have a dad to talk to just to stay on point the am I to have a dad to talk to? Just to stay on point, the first thing I'll say is to respond to that is, of course, you ask your parents for advice on marriage. That's obvious. I'm talking about business.

It is a business. It's a business decision. The point I was getting to was that there came to a point where around that time I started to realize people like Jon Stewart, they don't actually know shit. And now we're at the point, especially as I'm 36, I'm watching Andrew Sullivan, who's been around forever, and I'm like, this guy doesn't know what the fuck he's talking about at all, and he can't argue for shit. He somehow knows less than Jon Stewart does. And Jon Stewart is confused and asking for answers, and neither of these people did a fucking Google search. That's what just blows my mind about this. It's like, Jon, buddy, did you Google it? It's all soaked in, buddy, did you Google it?

It's all soaked in narcissism from all ends because if they actually cured, they'd do the most basic of research. It's kind of like peeling an onion. Once you start peeling in, your eyes start to burn because it hurts to look at it. But you got to keep peeling. I don't know. It might be the cutting of the onion. That's a good way to put it. It might be the cutting of the onion that causes the eyes to burn. So I don't know if the peeling metaphor works exactly i know i think it does because

sometimes in peeling it i've had i've gotten a little watery on oh okay yeah all right then a little bit i might be sensitive to it maybe or something but you know we're getting to that point how old are you robbie 33 33 and you're running for congress yep and i have a 13 year old too that's crazy yeah dude yeah i got started early. That's awesome. The reality – not necessarily. I mean – Yeah, not historically. Historically, I'm actually – wait. You probably started at 18.

A little bit – actually fairly average. I think it was between 20 and 22 was when people started families. But at a certain point and for everybody who's watching because I know most of you are around a similar age group, yo, we are inheriting the world. Yeah. There's going to come a time where I i'm gonna be in this position like john stewart people are gonna be like man tim pool's a fucking shit what the fuck happened to that maybe grab the reins grab the reins everybody grab the reins take it run with it you got one life to live live it now live it wisely because this is it you don't do everything you want to do at the end of this and you're dead you have only yourself to blame that you didn't do it. I'm going to pull a Dylan Rattigan, though.

That's my plan. You know what he did? I like that guy. He just bailed. He just got the fuck out. Really? Yeah, he went and started doing hydrotonics or something. That's admirable.

Oh, we have a friend. Oh, speaking of Chinese fucking interference, that shit, these stink bugs, the brown marmaladed stink bug, apparently in 1994 or something, got introduced into Pennsylvania. Really? And now they're an invasive species all over. That's the fucking CCP up my ass. Hold on. Hold on.

No, no, no, no, no. Ian, stink bugs are doofy and slow, and they taste like apples. I actually like them a lot. It's a cy-hot. Okay, so I don't like bugs. I don't like any of that stuff usually, but we have these stink bugs all over our farm, and I cannot bring myself to kill them because I feel bad for them. Because they're so dumb.

They're so stupid. I just like, honestly, they're the only animal that I'll find in my house that is not my pet that I don't either want to eat, get out of my house, or kill. And in their case, I actually help them all the time

where they're like in the dumbest places. Like they're in the sink and I'm like, dude, you're going to die, man. And I'll be like, come on, let's flip you over. He's flipped over already. and send them on their way in in summertime there's like a thousand oh i know on the on the eastern uh exposure you just shake them all off into a net thumb and the chickens free chicken food oh that's a good idea chickens love these things apparently stink bugs they eat them in China because they taste like apples.

That's one I didn't see. They taste like apples. Ian. They eat some weird stuff over there. Oh, I think I'm going to pass. No, but for real, apparently, they will fry them and chocolate cover them, and it's like apple pie. It is a good source of protein, that's for sure.

They stink. Oh, you want us to eat the bugs? Huh? Would you eat the bugs? Have you eaten bugs? I would not eat the bugs. No. I tried to make a cricket parade. Come on, bro. Shrimps are bugs. Oh, yeah. It's eat the bugs? Huh? Would you eat the bugs? Have you ever eaten bugs? No, I would not eat the bugs. No. I tried to make a cricket parade.

Come on, bro. Shrimps are bugs. Oh, yeah. That's a good point. They're not quite bugs. Salties. Yeah, they're bugs. What are they classified as?

Lydia Proline. Crustaceans? Are they crustaceans? Arthropods. Arthropods. See, I knew she would know. Lobsters and roly-polies basically is the same thing. Yeah.

You know what I mean? No. No. Lobster, lobster, very different in my book. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. I was being serious. Roly-polies and lobsters are the No, no, no. I'll do lobster. I was being serious. Roly-Polys and lobsters are the same family. Yeah, but I'm not eating roly-polys.

Those potato bugs? Yeah, pill bugs or whatever they're called. I'm not eating them. You ever have escargot? No. Bro, escargot is legit. I don't want it. I don't want it.

My grandma used to really like it. She thought it was very fancy. My Cuban grandma, that was like the delicacy. She was like, you have to try. Dude, I love. But no. When you're in France, you can't walk delicacy. She was like, you have to try. Dude, I love. But no. It is, when you're in France,

you can't walk 10 feet without being able to get some fucking snails. And what they do is the shell is full of like garlic and oil. Oh. And they cook it.

You get a little fork and you scoop it out and you put it on a piece of bread and you eat it. That sounds so gross to me. My wife probably has done it. She speaks French, so she probably has done it.

It just tastes like calamari. Yeah. I don't know about that. I like calamari garlic and oil like escargot maybe this is a thing where like i'm cool with things that are a little bit bigger you know like eating them like maybe i'm just like more of a dominant alpha than you two and so i want and so i want i want to take down a big animal you know i want to i want to go take down a bison yeah i've had bison i want to take down i want that stuff you know giraffe but you have like you have a little bit like you're okay with eating snails you know and like well yeah because you know the masculine energy in me recognizes the

need for survival and your weak effeminate taste buds this is the future of evolution we're having the future evolutionary gymnasium like fight here to figure out who the, who's the metaverse alpha. The virgin won't eat bugs versus the Chad bug eater. No, that, that would never happen. The Chad is the non bug eater. No, no, no. The virgin won't eat bugs, dies in the apocalypse and the Chad bug eater is all ripping.

This is so wrong. But at least I was, can we throw up a poll Lydia? Is there a poll for this? Cause I think the Chad always refuses to eat the bugs. Bugs or not. Yes. See, the poll says I'm correct. That's correct.

There you go. I'm the chat. Lydia just called you a virgin. A man would eat bark to survive. Yeah. He would bite a tree and be like, I ain't dying here. No, a man would need to eat bark to live. No, no, no.

I'm talking about. They won't eat dogs. I'm talking about dogs. I'm talking about. See, Lydia's on my team again. The plane carrying the fucking guys who killed Osama bin Laden blows up because the terrorists get it. And these guys, these guys falling from the sky land in the middle of the woods. Superhero pose without parachutes. And then they're like, we're in the middle of nowhere.

We need food. Let's just eat what we can eat. They start fucking just eating everything. They're grabbing rabbits and just biting it. Rabbits, yes. Rabbits, yes. Not snails. They're not going, oh, yeah, Robert, grab the snails, though.

They're grabbing chunks of wood and eating it. And then the virgin non-bug eater is going, but I don't want to eat that. No. No, no, no. These guys are so manly they're not even hungry because as the plane was going down, they ate the plane, okay? They ate air. They ate the plane. They're buying air.

Yes. There's a lot of carbon in that carbon dioxide. Yes, there is. They compress air to pull the carbon out of it and then eat the chocolate. Turn it into pure energy. Yeah, and their bodies can turn that pure carbon into sugar just because sunlight or whatever. Yeah, that makes sense. No, I eat bugs.

Yeah, I eat a lot of shit. I'm open to it because when I, they're like, you can eat cows and you can eat all these bloody meat thing, puss pockets,

but you can't eat a dog. And I'm like, well, what's the, why? You can't eat dogs. Because they're family. Don't eat a dog because that one's different.

I'm like, that's all meat, dude. Because dogs can smell it. Oh, if you eat a dog, another dog will smell your butt. and they'll attack you. Find me a cow that can sniff out cancer and I'll stop eating them okay so the ones that can sniff out this is this

is uh i guess you call it urban legend or whatever but the the the urban legend or hypothesis or whatever is that you know dogs can smell cancer they can smell seizures they can smell strokes and so the idea is that if you've ever eaten a dog the dog can smell you've eaten dog and will always just not trust you or growl at you. And so for societies that depended upon dogs for hunting, you could not eat the dog because the dogs wouldn't work with you then because they'd be like, you're a bad guy. I believe that one. Oh, yeah, for sure.

I believe that without knowing anything about it. Totally believe that. Cats too? You think cats? No. Cats are terrorists. They don't know anything. No, they're legit invasive species.

Yeah. They mimic babies crying and they have big anything. No, they're legit invasive species. They mimic babies crying and they have big eyes so that we just take care of them. Yeah, the story of dog domestication is like humans and wolves slowly cohabitated more and more and then hunted together to attack bigger game and survive. Two hunters joined together for a more perfect union. And cats are an invasive species that we tolerate. I think the cats helped us hunt mammoths on the African savannah at some point by slicing the back of their tendons. That's entirely made up. Because if you think about the cavemen and the cats. Dude, what?

The war elephants dominated the savannah for a while. A fucking cat is not going to slice anybody. The cat can attack the back of the back legs of the elephants, cutting their Achilles tendons and then making them fall down. And then the humans can come with spears and finish off the elephants. This idea is making me want to throw a cat at you. That's like just some insane bullshit you made up. I think that they were old partners in the savannah. No.

They built the Sphinx. They carved it in reverence for a cat. Yes, just like we have photos of cats on Reddit. It doesn't mean we worship them. You know why cats don't have whites? You can't see the whites of a cat's eyes? Because they're solitary hunters. The reason you can see a dog's, the whites of their eyes, is because pack hunters, like humans, need to be able to determine where the other person is looking.

So when wolves are hunting, the wolves looking up to the alpha, which is typically the father, look to where his eyes are moving so they know what he's looking at. In fact, dogs are the only other animal that know what pointing means. That's why when you point to a cat, the cat just sniffs your finger. Yeah, yeah. Because cats did not hunt, bro. They didn't. I mean, they're hunters by nature.

They did hunt, whether or not they hunted with humans. Solitary. Solitary carnivores. Yeah, not as a pet. They never worked with us. They're ambush predators, which means they hide in the shadows,

and they take the opportunity. Maybe what happened is they would kill the elephants and then the humans would go feast off the carcasses because humans were scavengers. No, no, no. Humans, for their history, were scavengers. Read a book.

Read a book. Read a mother. Humans were endurance hunters. Dude, I'm talking about way back. Yes. They were. Okay. Let me take it.

Before tools and stuff, we were scavengers. Before tools. No, we weren't. Yeah, we were like vultures, dude. No! We still had stronger muscles than most were like vultures, dude. No! We still had stronger muscles than most animals on Earth. Endurance hunters. Wait a minute.

The reason why humans don't have hair and we are bipedal is because we can run for 50-plus miles and an ungulate cannot. Entire amount. Furred animals would become hot and collapse due to heat exhaustion, and the human would just trot like Pepe Le Pew with no hair so the water was evaporating, allowing humans to outlast. And they were ripped. So I'm referencing history.com. Early humans may have scavenged more than they hunted. Could be wrong, but this is what I'm talking about. No, no, no. Okay, okay.

If you want to talk about humans are hunters and gatherers, of course, of course. They were scavengers. Humans were endurance hunters, and we were coastal because we would fish. When it came to hunting wild creatures, humans, the reason we don't have hair is because we don't overheat. We can run for a long time. So we hunt. I think you're thinking of the libs back then. You know, like maybe they were scavengers.

They buried until they died. They're very good at using as little energy as they have to. People are great about waiting until you absolutely have to do anything. We all know that, obviously. And I think that's why they scavenged. They'd let the other animals make the kill, and then they'd go get the food. I think you're referencing a single article. Yeah, this was from a few years ago, research that I was reading.

When you ask simple questions like, out of all of the animals, why are humans hairless? Obviously not completely hair on your head. You guys do. I don't. But, you know, most people have hair a little bit on their body. Endurance hunting. That's just like a logical conclusion. Humans evolved hunting.

We have teeth for eating grains and eating meat. This is what we do. And it's fish for the most part. Fish is, well, like a principal portion of our diet, which is why humans are always on the coast. And it helped our brains grow big. But then when it came to hunting down big game, we would just pepe le pew, just trotting along. So the thing about like the cheetah, for instance, it can't run that long because it overheats instantly. Furry and quadrupedal, hard for the heat to escape the body.

So it can sprint, boom, like a shotgun blast catch that animal gazelles and other you know deer and things like that hogs also bipedal typically hairy and so they can run but they overheat so quick what happens is and you seriously watch videos of this they they plop out and spread their body wide desperately trying to get cool from the ground you'll see cats you'll see squirrels do it humans don't lay on the ground like that we just sweat and that evaporates taking the heat away this means we can like if you ever if you ever you just you can just watch a video of it it's fascinating shit anyway history channel everybody knows is only good for information about ancient aliens and secondly have you guys ever

seen chuck grassley's war with the history Channel? No. Okay, so this dude, people watching probably know about this. He's had a long-term war with the History Channel where he tweets about it every time he wants to watch stuff about history and how angry he is that they don't play history. And it's been this hilarious, weird, long-term thing where he complains on his Twitter account about the History Channel. So you've got to, like, catch yourselves up on this, but it's pretty funny. It sounds like something I'll check out. Who owns the History Channel? I don't know, A&E or Hearst or something. And he's like 100 years old. We'll wrap it up there, Robbie. It's been a blast. Thanks for hanging out, man.
