Welcome to Season 5 of Stay in the Gray Podcast. And we’re starting with a war—a meme war.
In this episode, Ryan breaks down how humor became political ammo in the modern culture war. From AOC-Elon memes to Trump’s meme-fueled rise, we unpack why comedy once united us—and now just fuels the fire.
🎙 Topics include:
– Cancel culture, comedy, and the political humor divide
– Why liberals stopped laughing (and why that matters)
– Memes that triggered outrage—from Kamala to Tucker
– How Trump, Musk, and political influencers weaponized parody
– The big question: Can satire save us… or is it just sharpening the divide?
🔥 Hit Follow if you think humor shouldn’t come with a trigger warning.

00:00:00
Comedy is supposed to bring people together and especially
00:00:03
stand up in one location, in one arena or room or wherever and
00:00:09
have everybody just laugh. Just laugh.
00:00:11
But this comparison to Adolf Hitler, Donald Trump to Adolf
00:00:15
Hitler is the dumbest thing I've ever heard in my life.
00:00:18
To compare a man that killed 6 Jewish people to
00:00:21
Donald Trump, who last I checked hadn't killed 1 and doesn't want
00:00:25
to. If anything, he wants to end
00:00:26
war. That comparison is dangerous.
00:00:29
I just feel like comedy is a great tool for unity.
00:00:32
I feel like we're misusing and I feel like it's been put under
00:00:35
the spotlight and it's being used as how dare you and
00:00:39
pointing fingers at East side finding all us and find the
00:00:46
light in the tray. We'll find our sight.
00:00:52
Welcome to Stay in the Gray Podcast.
00:00:54
I'm your host Ryan, and I'm here to bring you raw conversations
00:00:57
about life and those undeniable human truths.
00:01:01
We dive into the chaos 1 issue at a time, blending comedy,
00:01:05
controversy, and the unexplainable.
00:01:12
Get ready for transparent ideas straight from the Gray areas
00:01:15
where most answers are hiding. So stay curious, stay
00:01:21
inquisitive, please stay laughing, stay in the grave.
00:01:25
Come check it out, we'll see you there.
00:01:30
OK, here we are, it's been a while.
00:01:34
I'm so excited to be back with you.
00:01:36
Season 5 is upon us today, February 27th, 2025, almost
00:01:43
March. I was going to wait till March
00:01:45
the 3rd. Every season it's been 33
00:01:47
episodes. We're going to keep that.
00:01:49
I was going to keep that three pattern and do March the 3rd.
00:01:53
Couldn't wait. Ready to roll.
00:01:56
Lots of small changes. I'm sure you might see one of
00:01:58
them behind me. Very excited to keep going.
00:02:03
Very excited at and proud of what we've done so far on the
00:02:08
show. Everybody that's contributed to
00:02:09
the show from guests to Trey early on in the in the seasons
00:02:15
and, and our producers and all that.
00:02:18
So excited to keep moving forward here as we go into
00:02:21
season 5. Some good things come in, lots
00:02:24
of good guests and the direction of the show.
00:02:28
I'm trying to trying to make it fun.
00:02:30
I'm trying to make it, you know, to have A, to still have a focus
00:02:34
on what's important in the world, to not forget those
00:02:37
things because we can't, to keep an eye on, on things as we move
00:02:43
forward In the United States. Things are crazy.
00:02:46
They have been for a while. There are lots of things
00:02:48
happening and some people are very, very excited and some
00:02:51
people are claiming not to be. I don't see how they can, but
00:02:57
they do. So we'll talk about some of
00:02:59
those things. My mindset hasn't changed at
00:03:02
all. It's I want to hear anybody and
00:03:05
everybody. Let's talk about anything.
00:03:08
I want to hear all perspectives, I want to try and get those
00:03:11
different perspectives from all sorts of people.
00:03:14
And I'm hoping to do that with some great guests this season.
00:03:18
And I thought that tonight would be a good opportunity to open
00:03:23
the season by myself. I was going to, I'm going to
00:03:26
have some guests on right away on the next show and it's going
00:03:29
to be a fun show and but, but tonight I wanted to talk about
00:03:35
something. I'm going to piggyback on one of
00:03:37
the last episodes I did of Season 4 and it was about cancel
00:03:41
culture. And So what I want to talk about
00:03:44
is comedy and laughing. If you've listened to this show,
00:03:47
you've heard me say before, I just want to laugh again.
00:03:50
I just want people to laugh. I don't like the fact that we
00:03:53
can't laugh or that we couldn't without the fear of being quote
00:03:57
cancelled or someone's going to be offended or people are going
00:04:02
to look down at you because how dare you.
00:04:04
You know, Trey and I used to have issues all the time.
00:04:07
We would just talk about weird deaths or you know, and not that
00:04:12
they weren't tragic, but the way that people died could be funny
00:04:16
and people didn't like that people.
00:04:19
We also talked about Halloween costumes that were inappropriate
00:04:25
to some. We didn't feel that way.
00:04:26
We were able to laugh at some of them.
00:04:28
Some of them we did. But that's the point.
00:04:31
Everybody has a line. Nobody has the right to to
00:04:35
dictate what that line is. And, and, and so let's talk
00:04:39
about comedy tonight. I, I, you know, the quasi title
00:04:42
of the show is divided. We laugh comedy as a bridge to a
00:04:47
polarized world. And yes, there's a lot in that
00:04:50
title, but the world is polarized, specifically the
00:04:53
United States, which is what I care about the most.
00:04:57
I care about all of you around the world.
00:04:59
But when it comes to immediate direct effects that I want to
00:05:06
take place, it's this country. It's the people that are closest
00:05:09
to me, my family and, and the country's policies are going to
00:05:13
affect those people. Unfortunately for the people in,
00:05:18
you know, France or Australia or Bangladesh or Argentina or
00:05:23
wherever in the world, guess what?
00:05:25
Our policies don't affect my friends and family and my
00:05:28
neighbors over there. They don't, you know, it doesn't
00:05:33
affect that. So when I talk about being US
00:05:40
first, that's what I mean is that it hits home to me.
00:05:43
It hits home to what my priorities are.
00:05:46
And that's what it boils down to.
00:05:48
That was a long winded way of saying everybody has priorities.
00:05:52
And right now I'm focused on what mine are and what other
00:05:55
Americans are. So one of the reasons I could
00:05:58
never ever align with the left. And again, people know this.
00:06:02
If you're new to the show, I'll tell you it's because of this
00:06:06
idea of woke ISM, of cancel culture, of being offended by
00:06:11
everything. It's just, it's just, it's too
00:06:14
much. We've crossed the line with it.
00:06:17
Who are you to tell me how to, to, to speak?
00:06:20
Who are you to tell me that you're offended by something
00:06:24
when I could be offended by something that you've done or
00:06:27
just offended that you're offended?
00:06:29
I mean, it gets silly. If you don't like what I say,
00:06:32
either go away or you can tell me you don't like it.
00:06:36
But to sit here and try and generalize and lump a group of
00:06:39
people together or eliminate them like cancel culture tries
00:06:44
to do or try to do it. It's just it's bullshit.
00:06:49
And and so that's why I'm so focused on this.
00:06:51
That's why I thought I would lead.
00:06:53
And tonight, if you listen and you are like minded to me, this
00:06:57
is the show for you. If you listen and you kind of
00:06:59
go, I see a little bit, but man, I wish, I wish he would turn it
00:07:05
down just a smidge, then then let's, let's talk, Let's listen,
00:07:08
keep keep coming back and let's work together and listen to each
00:07:12
other. I, I, I welcome open-ended
00:07:16
conversation. I welcome comments.
00:07:19
I welcome, you know, anything short of texting me on my
00:07:22
personal cell phone. Let's talk.
00:07:25
That's all that I ever have said I wanted to do.
00:07:29
So the political correctness, the woke culture, the woke
00:07:33
ideologies, they've made it very difficult for people to laugh.
00:07:37
Comedians, obviously, it's affected the most.
00:07:41
They're afraid to say anything. I mean my one comedian was
00:07:44
talking about, I forget who, his name, what his name was.
00:07:47
He was talking about how every show he was heckled at certain
00:07:49
jokes, just he never knew which ones were going to be offensive
00:07:52
on any given night. And comedy is supposed to make
00:07:55
us calm the fuck down. Comedy is supposed to bring
00:07:58
people together and especially stand up in one location in one
00:08:04
of arena or room or wherever and have everybody just laugh, just
00:08:09
laugh. If I was picked out by the by a
00:08:11
comedian and he kind of roasted me there, I laugh.
00:08:15
Just do it later. I think my old, my old Co host
00:08:18
Trey was was roasted at a in a comedy show and he he asked me
00:08:23
on the show, actually, I forget what episode a long time ago,
00:08:27
whether he thought it was appropriate or whether he
00:08:29
thought he should be upset. It was really funny.
00:08:32
And no, I said you did the right thing by laughing it off because
00:08:35
it's a comedy show. And so I just don't think that
00:08:40
we should be on egg shells. I don't think that I'm not going
00:08:43
to sit here and be afraid to laugh at something because of
00:08:47
fear that I don't know. Is this, how does this person
00:08:51
lean politically? How does this person feel?
00:08:54
Are they offended by certain jokes?
00:08:56
Are they this? Are they that?
00:08:57
Are they this? It's too much.
00:09:00
We you. Can't just do that for everybody
00:09:04
around you in a in a world of billions of people, it's the
00:09:08
opposite needs to happen, which is everybody goes, you know
00:09:10
what? I'm not going to let myself get
00:09:12
offended by this unless he knows straight up that this is really
00:09:15
going to hurt me. And then you then you let him
00:09:17
know. You still can't tell the person
00:09:19
not to do something or say something to say something, do
00:09:23
something and you get a little bit different reactions.
00:09:27
So sit back, let's talk a little bit here and laugh hopefully.
00:09:32
And I like to say it's define the oppressive rules of being
00:09:35
politically correct. So that's what I'm going to do.
00:09:39
I'm going to talk a lot about memes because I think that's
00:09:42
excuse me, I do have a small cough.
00:09:43
So I'm going to try not to cough a stupid young children give it
00:09:49
to my kids and they comes home from from school.
00:09:52
So but let's talk about the most basic of memes, OK?
00:09:57
And you'll see it. I'm going to put it here.
00:10:00
And the first one's is one known as this is fine.
00:10:05
And what it is is it's a meme of a dog sitting at a table in
00:10:11
flames are all around the house that it's sitting at is on fire.
00:10:17
Yet the dog remains optimistic and has a smile on his face.
00:10:21
And it's just an example of how life is inherently chaotic, how
00:10:26
life is, it's almost hilariously unpredictable.
00:10:31
And anybody can look at a meme like this and say, man, this is
00:10:38
true. You can be on complete opposite
00:10:40
sides of the political divide, complete opposite sides of any
00:10:44
issue. And that meme can apply to your
00:10:47
life. It just does.
00:10:50
Everything's chaotic around you. And because of that, you just
00:10:55
got to smile and and live day-to-day.
00:10:57
That's, that's really what it's all about.
00:10:59
And unfortunately, there aren't many of these people take it one
00:11:04
way or the other. And we and we go.
00:11:06
So before we get to other examples of these memes, I want
00:11:10
to give you, I looked this up. This isn't just my assessment.
00:11:16
It matched a lot of what I think and a lot of experiences that
00:11:20
I've had, but I looked it up on multiple sources.
00:11:24
I looked it up. I asked fucking Grok or ChatGPT.
00:11:27
Even the AII asked for its opinion.
00:11:31
I researched on three different platforms because I was just
00:11:34
curious on whether the, the assumptions, if you will, or the
00:11:42
stereotypical assumptions made by both the conservatives and
00:11:47
liberals in my mind were accurate.
00:11:51
And boy, I tell you what, here are the here are the main ones
00:11:54
from each and I can't argue with them.
00:11:57
Well, I'll start with the conservative side, which anybody
00:12:00
knows. I voted for Donald Trump.
00:12:03
I tend to vote politically conservative because again, I
00:12:07
can't, I can't align with the left right now.
00:12:09
I do on certain social issues. There's a lot of Gray areas in
00:12:12
those issues, but I'm not a straight right ticket.
00:12:17
I'm not going to look at all these list of, of quote UN quote
00:12:22
conservative viewpoints and just place myself there.
00:12:26
I'm willing to talk and I want to learn and go case by case.
00:12:31
But so on our side, I say our on the conservative side, cancel
00:12:36
culture. Hello, that was number one.
00:12:39
And I've been talking about that not only in the last second to
00:12:42
last episode of season 4 and today, but for a long time.
00:12:47
That's one. Cultural Marxism was another
00:12:51
one. It's another way of saying that
00:12:54
we believe that the conservatives believe that
00:12:57
liberals these days are undermining traditional US
00:13:02
values, whether it's religion with Christianity, whether it's
00:13:07
the home life with full families, with two parents.
00:13:12
Some will say that, you know, a mother and a father is part of
00:13:16
that element, are part of that equation.
00:13:18
I apologize. And others will will say that
00:13:22
doesn't that part doesn't matter.
00:13:23
I agree with that part doesn't matter, by the way.
00:13:26
So the last one is, and I say this too all the time, there's a
00:13:32
victim mindset and that is caused by identity politics that
00:13:38
was introduced not long ago. And it's this notion, it's this
00:13:42
pointing fingers at everybody else.
00:13:45
And I'm repeating myself. I know I've said this before in
00:13:48
the past, but hopefully we've got some new people coming on
00:13:51
and I'm glad to have you. And this is a big one for me.
00:13:55
I do not like people that play the victim card, point fingers
00:13:59
at everybody else and blame them without any responsibility
00:14:04
taken. I don't like it.
00:14:06
I think it's more divisive than anything right now.
00:14:09
You're isolating yourselves from everybody else and saying I
00:14:11
don't have to do shit because you did this, because you did
00:14:15
this. And often times it's nothing
00:14:17
that was directly correlated to your life.
00:14:20
It's 250 years ago. If it has any correlation to
00:14:27
your life, it's like a percent if that.
00:14:31
It's time to move on. It's time to get responsibility
00:14:35
and it's time to take advantage of opportunities that are laid
00:14:38
out right now, which there are, but that's a different show.
00:14:42
So those are the conservative side.
00:14:45
And that's why I kind of tend to lean that way right now because
00:14:48
I agree with two of those three big time.
00:14:50
The traditional values thing. That's that's debatable because
00:14:54
I think there's nothing wrong with adapting here and changing
00:14:56
here. And yes, I feel like there needs
00:14:58
to be more focus on the family life.
00:15:00
And you know, Christianity's been under kind of under attack
00:15:07
by by the left, a lot of, of atheists now and a lot of people
00:15:10
who have come into the country who are Muslim or the Jewish
00:15:14
communities. And when you mix all that
00:15:17
together, a lot of times the base religion, if you will, the
00:15:23
base belief system gets lost in the shuffle.
00:15:26
And I think that's what's happened a little bit with some
00:15:28
of those US values that I was referring to.
00:15:31
Let's go to the left. So the liberal accusations of
00:15:34
the conservatives. And this is where it gets me.
00:15:37
This is a whole lot different. This is a whole lot more intense
00:15:41
and a lot of it's completely false.
00:15:43
The things I just told you about the conservatives and their
00:15:46
viewpoint of liberals. Do you think that I do you think
00:15:50
I was wrong? Any of that?
00:15:50
You think all my sources put together were wrong?
00:15:54
Do you think it's embellished? That's the question.
00:15:57
Listen to this. This is what fires me up.
00:15:59
I've been called all this stuff liberal accuses conservatives of
00:16:04
being racist, xenophobic and sexist.
00:16:10
I'm tired of this. It's Porsche.
00:16:13
If there are a few people few there, there's a low percentage
00:16:17
amount of people in there that are those things.
00:16:20
Who cares either? Always going to be assholes in
00:16:23
this world and I guarantee you there's some of them on the
00:16:26
liberal side as well. So I don't want to hear it
00:16:28
anymore. I'm tired of it.
00:16:29
There's no nothing to base this on.
00:16:33
They try by saying by our immigration stances, you mean
00:16:38
not wanting illegal immigrants in this country, You mean
00:16:42
wanting illegal immigrants who have done further crimes, mostly
00:16:46
physical crimes like assault and rape and murder, to be deported
00:16:51
the fuck out of here? You mean those immigration
00:16:54
policies? I want legal immigration as much
00:17:00
as anybody on any side. I think it's one of the great
00:17:03
things about this country. I've known quite a few people
00:17:07
that have come here the right way who are from a different
00:17:11
country. I know people right now who are
00:17:13
trying to wait the time to get in to get their visa to come to
00:17:18
us to to a university program. Those people are people I admire
00:17:24
because they see the value of being here in the United States
00:17:28
and they see that this place, contrary to what some people say
00:17:34
these days, is still the land of prosperity and the land of
00:17:37
opportunity. And it's getting back to that
00:17:39
direction or it's going, it's headed back in that direction.
00:17:42
And I think people see that. So don't come at me and say it's
00:17:45
racist to not want illegal immigrants flooding across the
00:17:50
border. That's the, it's the most
00:17:51
ridiculous thing I've ever seen. How about white supremacy
00:17:55
groups? Really.
00:17:59
Did you know the KKK was founded by Democrats?
00:18:03
OK, that's just the most known one.
00:18:06
And, and the KKK sucks, for lack of a better word.
00:18:09
I mean, there is nobody that I know that votes Republican or
00:18:14
that votes conservative that is OK with the KKK.
00:18:18
It's just not true. It's it's silly.
00:18:21
And if organizations like the KKK and other white supremacy
00:18:26
organizations, people with those beliefs, if they vote
00:18:31
Republican, that's not, that's not everybody's fault.
00:18:33
It's just the way they vote. It's probably religion is
00:18:37
probably location, it's probably other issues besides this.
00:18:42
But you can't lump everybody together.
00:18:44
It's dangerous. It's rhetoric and it and it's
00:18:47
just, I am, I am not a racist person and I'm being called all
00:18:50
these things. It's just, it makes you not want
00:18:54
to associate. It makes you not want to align
00:18:56
and it makes me not want to listen, honestly, for those
00:18:58
people. And that's what sucks, because
00:19:00
all I ever tell you is that I want to listen.
00:19:03
So holding women back. Look at Trump's.
00:19:08
Look at his cabinet, look at his hires.
00:19:11
To who the most? Important positions in the
00:19:14
Department of Justice? Well, in all of it, the
00:19:17
Department of Justice head is Pam Bondi.
00:19:19
She's awesome. She's a badass in a in a crucial
00:19:22
position. His press secretary is Caroline
00:19:27
Leavitt. It is amazing.
00:19:29
There are women all over the place that surround this man in
00:19:34
a respected work environment. There is no.
00:19:38
Way it at all if you're. Referring to back in the. 80s
00:19:43
when he had beauty pageants when he was a young man OK.
00:19:48
Things were different. In the 80s it wasn't as frowned
00:19:52
upon to call somebody sweetheart or to.
00:19:58
View A. Beauty pageant as just what it
00:20:00
is. He's not trying to.
00:20:03
Kill women down. He's not sexist if there are
00:20:07
some older viewpoints in trapped in there.
00:20:10
I mean, you wouldn't yell at your grandfather if he said some
00:20:13
of this stuff. And and you shouldn't yell at at
00:20:15
at Donald either. I just I don't think there's
00:20:19
accuracy to the idea that he's 100% sexist.
00:20:22
Just look at look at his cabinet.
00:20:25
Look at his hires, his all his businesses combined in the world
00:20:29
are actually a higher percentage of women than men.
00:20:32
Just something to think about. The second one is
00:20:35
authoritarianism, and this one gets me too.
00:20:39
It's the the, the claim is that they're undermining democratic
00:20:43
norms. And what I mean by that is when
00:20:46
he questioned the election, which by the way, Hillary
00:20:48
Clinton did the same fucking thing when he attacks the Free
00:20:52
Press, nobody is is infallible or untouchable.
00:20:56
The. Press definitely isn't, and
00:20:58
we've seen that. If they continue.
00:21:01
To prove over and over that they're untrustworthy and that
00:21:05
they give misinformation, that they're biased and and that
00:21:09
they're that they have this agenda.
00:21:13
They deserve to be. Called out.
00:21:14
And there's nothing wrong with that, that that isn't
00:21:17
undermining democratic norms. That's just calling a spade a
00:21:22
spade and saying this is what it is.
00:21:26
He's he has. Every right to that opinion,
00:21:27
especially after the way he's been treated for the last 8 to
00:21:30
10 years. So get over.
00:21:32
That questioning the election again, he he's allowed to do
00:21:37
that as well if he feels that there was an issue, Hillary
00:21:39
Clinton did it, it's it's been done before.
00:21:41
That doesn't mean that he's saying that we shouldn't have
00:21:44
free elections and and the Electoral College.
00:21:47
If anything, the left is the one calling for to abandon the
00:21:51
Electoral College. And the left, if you want to
00:21:54
talk, I've said it before, you know, they put Kamal Kamala
00:21:57
Harris in. In the most.
00:22:00
Undemocratic way you can, which is without an election.
00:22:04
They just put her in. She didn't receive one vote in
00:22:08
any kind of a primary. They could have held one.
00:22:10
I know they were panicked for time and all these things, and
00:22:13
Joe had just delivered a beautiful performance at the
00:22:16
debate. But you got to have something
00:22:19
other than that if you're going to start calling people out on
00:22:21
democracy. It's beyond me.
00:22:24
The other one that really gets me.
00:22:27
And it's on. Par with the white supremacy,
00:22:32
white supremacist rhetoric is this notion of being fascist.
00:22:40
Anybody that's calling Trump, his followers, his
00:22:43
administration, fascists need to go look it up because you're not
00:22:49
using it correctly. If anything.
00:22:52
Trump has localized a lot of the power to the states.
00:22:57
That's the opposite of what you're talking about.
00:23:02
If anything, the other side who tried to eliminate and silence
00:23:07
its political opponent, Donald Trump, Those are fascist
00:23:10
tactics. Who's using the fascist tactics
00:23:14
again? Listen.
00:23:16
And learn and think about these things.
00:23:18
You don't have to like it. In fact, you're not going to
00:23:20
because you've been indoctrinated to hate Donald
00:23:22
Trump. But you can't argue these
00:23:24
things. And on that note, I'll take it
00:23:27
one step further. I'll talk about this more in a
00:23:30
minute with the memes, but this comparison to Adolf Hitler,
00:23:35
Donald Trump to Adolf Hitler is the dumbest thing I've ever
00:23:38
heard in my life. To.
00:23:40
Compare a man that killed 6 Jewish people.
00:23:45
To Donald Trump. Who, last I checked hadn't
00:23:47
killed 1. And and doesn't.
00:23:50
Want to? If anything, he wants to end
00:23:52
war. That comparison is dangerous.
00:23:56
To. Compare a guy who was completely
00:24:00
unstable and only wanted a certain eye color to Donald
00:24:06
Trump, who has never insinuated any of that is dangerous.
00:24:12
What happens is. People start.
00:24:15
Believing it if they hear it enough.
00:24:19
And when it's. Absolutely not true.
00:24:20
You have psycho people who think they need to try and fix it.
00:24:26
Just because you don't like the policies, just because you've
00:24:31
been indoctrinated to hate Donald Trump, doesn't mean that
00:24:35
you need to compare him to an absolute dictator and mass
00:24:39
murderer of 6 million people. Plus you want to blame him for
00:24:45
the casualties of war. This is dangerous people.
00:24:48
You need to stop it. You can say I hate Donald Trump,
00:24:52
orange man, bad mean tweets, all that bullshit.
00:24:55
But as soon as you start doing this, man, not only have you
00:24:58
lost me and everybody else who can, who has a brain, but you're
00:25:03
also sending people who are not mentally as sharp after somebody
00:25:08
and after people who might have voted for them, innocent people
00:25:11
who are just exercising their right to vote and now they have
00:25:14
to watch their backs because they're being compared to Nazis.
00:25:17
Stop it. Stop it.
00:25:21
It's absurd. Oh, by the way, Donald Trump's
00:25:23
son-in-law is a Jew. Doesn't match, doesn't align
00:25:27
with Nazi beliefs very much, does it?
00:25:29
Half of his, So much of his crowd, bunch of Jews, So much of
00:25:33
his crowd were black Mexican. I saw a bunch of Muslim people.
00:25:37
The black votes doubled for him since 2020.
00:25:41
Yeah. They're all stupid though,
00:25:43
right? He's a racist.
00:25:45
He's a Nazi. Why are these people OK with
00:25:49
them? It's because they're able to
00:25:50
think outside the box, and you should too.
00:25:54
So there's the accusations. Let's talk about the memes, the
00:25:56
whole point. This was a set up, the whole
00:25:58
point. Let's get to these memes.
00:26:00
They're fun and I'm going to show them to you as I talk.
00:26:02
There's a couple of videos I want you to check out too.
00:26:05
The first one, let's talk about AOC.
00:26:08
She's one of my. Favorites to laugh at.
00:26:11
I don't understand why this woman is any is close to any any
00:26:14
position of power. I don't.
00:26:16
I don't get it. It's funny.
00:26:19
These memes that of her are funny until you start realizing
00:26:23
that some of the things she's saying she she's mean, she means
00:26:27
them and that's. Scary.
00:26:29
So the the 1st meme of the meme of her I I have is basically
00:26:33
there's a a picture here and is an article.
00:26:36
And of course it was had to be debunked because everybody was
00:26:38
like she didn't do this. Well no shit it was.
00:26:41
It was a parody and satire and it says here it says AOC.
00:26:46
If socialism doesn't work, why are all my socialist friends in
00:26:50
DC multimillionaires? And.
00:26:53
I think that's funny. The left.
00:26:57
Doesn't they get all the clenched?
00:27:00
They don't think this stuff is funny.
00:27:02
Well, that one's funny. All right, let's try a video.
00:27:05
I'm going to play you this video and I put this out a while ago,
00:27:09
middle of last year maybe when Elon started getting involved
00:27:13
and AOC has called Elon stupid, which.
00:27:17
Makes her the. Dumbest person I've ever seen.
00:27:20
You don't have to. Like the guy, but to call him
00:27:22
stupid or the dumbest billionaire or something.
00:27:26
She said something dumb and and to say that it just wasn't a
00:27:31
good look. But there was a.
00:27:33
Video of a parody, of course, that I put out.
00:27:37
And I had only the only negatives I had.
00:27:40
Everybody loved this thing except for these.
00:27:42
Like far left. He's woke.
00:27:44
She would know. It was a parody about the AOC
00:27:47
and Elon looking at each other. And it was obviously they
00:27:50
weren't in the same room, but they made it look like they were
00:27:52
facing each other and talking to each other.
00:27:54
And it was about this romance that was kind of budding between
00:27:58
the two. Hilarious.
00:27:59
It was great and I'm going to play it for you, but boy, these
00:28:04
comments I got. She would never give him the
00:28:07
time of day. I.
00:28:08
Disagree. I think that.
00:28:09
Elon probably can do a little better than AOC, but this was
00:28:13
the these are the comments of he's an idiot.
00:28:15
He can't. Why would she do take a joke,
00:28:19
laugh at it. I don't think he would date her
00:28:22
and I I wasn't I wasn't upset with the meme.
00:28:24
I think it's a or the the video. I think it's funny.
00:28:26
Check it out. I.
00:28:37
Apologize, that was. Perfect, I'm breaking all.
00:28:42
The rules. I'm breaking all the rules I
00:28:43
guess. We might make some mistakes, who
00:28:46
knows. I think 1 of.
00:28:52
The biggest problems we have in DC is that everyone's egos are
00:28:56
too big. I actually.
00:28:59
Prefer to have no titles at all. You're opening.
00:29:05
Yourself up. I'm just being.
00:29:06
Me. Let's go.
00:29:13
Yeah. Absolutely.
00:29:15
Isn't that great? I think that's brilliant.
00:29:17
And and I think that it's just, again, there's nothing.
00:29:21
I just don't get how anybody could be upset at this.
00:29:23
It's just such a funny clip. I don't know, maybe, maybe it's
00:29:26
not. You know what, what the fuck do
00:29:28
I know? Maybe, maybe it's stupid, but I
00:29:30
thought it was pretty funny. So let's go on to the next one,
00:29:33
Kamala Harris. People were, I don't know why I
00:29:36
set the AOC note down. I'm going to throw it.
00:29:38
Kamala Harris. She's easy.
00:29:42
To do a meme about she's, there were rumors of her working her
00:29:46
way to the top sexually and things like that.
00:29:49
You know, likely just rumors, but it was still easy to make
00:29:52
memes about she was drunk. She's looked like she was drunk
00:29:56
a lot. Same with Nancy Pelosi.
00:29:57
My God, that woman drinks all the time.
00:30:00
But the biggest thing about Kamala was kind of the her
00:30:03
answers, her word salads. They they were called.
00:30:07
She just never could give an answer.
00:30:09
It was just like she would just spend and spend and like didn't
00:30:12
know how to answer a question. And there are plenty of clips of
00:30:15
that. I'm not making that up, but it
00:30:17
was easy to make a meme. But what about this meme?
00:30:20
So this meme is of Kamala Harris cartoon version as you're
00:30:25
seeing, and she has the big cackley laugh face.
00:30:30
That was one of the things I that people said about her was
00:30:32
that her laugh was so annoying. And of course the left would be
00:30:35
like, oh, you know, that's that's not a good, you know, why
00:30:38
do you think she's not qualified because of her laugh?
00:30:40
Well, that's not the only thing, obviously, but that's an
00:30:43
annoying thing. And so.
00:30:46
This me made. Fun of it, and it has a big red
00:30:50
line through Kamala, who's laughing hysterically in the
00:30:53
cartoon version. People, it's kind of funny if
00:30:58
you don't think it's. Funny or whatever, but it's not
00:31:00
that big a deal. People react to this and this
00:31:02
isn't known as one of the most controversial memes really.
00:31:06
Come on, laugh or don't even laugh.
00:31:10
But just chuckle at it. I mean, come on, look at that.
00:31:12
Mouth anyway. So I'm going to give you another
00:31:17
video. I got to get it up over here.
00:31:21
This video is great. I also put this up before and
00:31:27
before the election. It was just this.
00:31:30
Why are the? Borders so open.
00:31:32
Donald hit it, JD Vance hit it. That's that was their biggest
00:31:36
platform. It seemed like border, border,
00:31:38
border and the left, Joe Biden and then Kamala Harris were just
00:31:44
kind of complacent to explain why this is such an issue and
00:31:50
why they hadn't done anything in four years.
00:31:52
They just kind of sidestepped it and let Donald run with it.
00:31:55
And I don't think that was a good idea for them, as we saw.
00:31:59
But this is a. Clip And of course, the the
00:32:01
rumor was is well, the thought was I don't know if it's much of
00:32:05
A rumor. I think it might be some
00:32:06
validity to it was that they were, you know, the illegals are
00:32:10
finding a way to vote. And people argue with me all you
00:32:13
want, but there are 30 something states that don't require proof
00:32:16
of citizenship to vote. That's fact.
00:32:18
Go look it up. And this clip of this video clip
00:32:21
came out and it just thought it was pretty funny.
00:32:24
So check it out. Did you vote?
00:32:28
Are you going to vote? Oh, will you ask people that you
00:32:32
know to vote, please? And will you ask them to vote
00:32:36
for me? Thank you.
00:32:42
So. There you go.
00:32:43
I mean, they didn't like that video, OK.
00:32:46
I mean. If you can't take a joke and
00:32:49
understand that that there's context behind that, and then an
00:32:52
opposition makes that, OK, fine. I just feel like there's no
00:32:56
reason to get so offended and so butt hurt by everything.
00:32:59
I'm just throwing out some memes here.
00:33:00
This is fun. The last one on this side is
00:33:02
going to be Joe Biden. This is an obvious.
00:33:05
Target. He had the dementia claims by
00:33:08
everybody, the accusation that he had dementia.
00:33:11
He's old, he falls down a lot, he can't walk, he wanders off at
00:33:16
events and he likes his ice cream.
00:33:20
We used to talk a. Lot about that.
00:33:21
I used to have a picture of him eating ice cream before every
00:33:24
show that came up and it made it easy to do memes.
00:33:27
And the only one I'm going to put up here for you is this one,
00:33:30
and it's him. Making a funny.
00:33:33
Expression with a clown nose and eating a big ice cream cone and
00:33:38
it just says joke underneath it. Man I saw comments of this like
00:33:44
like this was. Oh my gosh.
00:33:46
How could we possibly say this about our our president?
00:33:50
Have you guys? Taken and listened to what
00:33:53
people say about Donald Trump. And guarantee.
00:33:56
A clown nose in an ice cream cone is is little kid talk
00:34:02
compared to comparatively speaking.
00:34:05
And then of course. You can go on from.
00:34:09
There with Pelosi and all these others, OK, they don't like it.
00:34:12
They don't like the memes. They they don't like the videos,
00:34:15
whatever. And I'm not saying that the
00:34:16
conservative side doesn't doesn't get upset too.
00:34:19
I'm not saying that if I look at something I had one of my one of
00:34:22
my closest friends the other day send me a he likes to fuck with
00:34:25
me. So he sent me a a Trump and Elon
00:34:28
picture of them like to hugging on a boat and they were in like
00:34:31
these little tight swimsuits together and OK.
00:34:36
I I didn't think it. Was funny but I think that it's
00:34:39
because I know what the intent is which is to make me upset
00:34:43
even though it's not upsetting it's just like OK what's funny
00:34:46
about that OK because he Donald Elon are are buddies and they're
00:34:50
going at this together like OK fine but I wasn't upset I wasn't
00:34:54
like these people get for these things so.
00:35:01
You thought I. Wasn't I was only going to do
00:35:02
the Liberals. I told you I'm going to stay
00:35:05
Gray here and I'm going to talk about.
00:35:09
The other side. How about Donald Trump?
00:35:11
Speaking of, he's an easy target too.
00:35:14
I'm not going to lie to you, I voted for the man.
00:35:16
But guess what he does? He has.
00:35:17
He's orange. He has you.
00:35:21
Know, I think his hair is bad ass, but it can look funny at
00:35:24
times. His body, he's older and he
00:35:27
eats, you know, he doesn't eat the healthiest.
00:35:29
And you know, when you get to be that age, you might have some
00:35:31
man boobs and, but you know what that man has more energy than I,
00:35:37
I've had in 20 years. So I'm not going to I'm not
00:35:39
going to question his, his lifestyle choices, but it's
00:35:43
easy. OK, so here's a meme that I just
00:35:48
have a feeling if something on this level was done, the other
00:35:51
side would, would not like it. You'll say I'm wrong, but check
00:35:54
this out. So this is a Cheeto with Donald
00:35:58
Trump's head on it. Cheeto has become a term that
00:36:02
the left uses to slander Donald Trump like it's some huge deal.
00:36:07
I don't think Donald really cares because he hasn't
00:36:09
decreased his tanning bed time at all.
00:36:13
He still kind of looks. Orange.
00:36:15
And I'm able to admit that. However, I guarantee that the
00:36:19
majority of people who voted for Donald Trump would look at this
00:36:21
and be like, OK, all right, fine.
00:36:23
He's funny. He looks like a Cheeto.
00:36:24
Big deal. The next one is where I get
00:36:26
pissed. This is going too far.
00:36:29
I have not seen anything like this until this came out and
00:36:32
I'll, I'll be fair, I'll be true.
00:36:34
I have seen one that has kind of Kamala with or that had Kamala
00:36:40
with some sort of a fascist type backing, which I I believe that
00:36:45
is accurate. I don't agree with.
00:36:48
Doing it in a meme though, I'm not going to be a hypocrite.
00:36:51
I hate hypocrisy. If I'm sitting here saying you
00:36:54
shouldn't do it to Donald, then by God, don't do it to Kamala
00:36:58
either. And so I was upset about that on
00:37:01
on that side too. But this one right here is
00:37:04
Donald and Adolf Hitler back-to-back.
00:37:08
And I've already given you my rant about comparing the two.
00:37:11
Stop it. It's stupid.
00:37:13
A meme like a meme like this is dangerous because there are
00:37:17
idiots out there who can't take it.
00:37:20
As a joke. It's not funny, but if you're
00:37:22
trying to make it as a joke or some sort of satirical meme,
00:37:27
there are people that believe that there is a comparison and
00:37:29
those people are idiots. So stop that too.
00:37:33
Let's go next real fast. I got to roll through here.
00:37:35
Let's go to Elon. How about Elon?
00:37:39
You already saw the video with AOC.
00:37:41
OK, so we won't, we'll skip that, but we'll do one for Elon.
00:37:44
And this one, everybody is claiming that he's just the
00:37:48
worst human being because he doesn't give all his money to
00:37:50
people. This is the mindset I don't like
00:37:53
on the left. Who are you to demand to tell
00:37:55
this guy what to do with his money?
00:37:57
He's the richest guy in the world.
00:37:58
He, he, he doesn't, he can do what he wants.
00:38:03
Would you do something different?
00:38:04
Maybe. Would you?
00:38:05
You don't know. You're not in that position.
00:38:07
But this meme right here, it says 43 Americans live
00:38:10
in poverty. Elon Musk just.
00:38:13
Spent $90 million, which I think is actually high compared to
00:38:16
what it was to launch a car into space for fun.
00:38:21
I guarantee you it wasn't just for fun.
00:38:23
Was it fun? Probably.
00:38:25
Was it only for fun? No.
00:38:27
You learn. He's learning things.
00:38:29
He has done more for art, for space programs, for clean
00:38:34
energy. You guys want all these clean
00:38:35
energy. He's the one that's come up with
00:38:36
the the the highest selling electric car that there is.
00:38:40
But all of a sudden he's bad because he associated with
00:38:42
Donald Trump and saw and saw the bad in the liberal side.
00:38:48
All of a sudden. You hate him.
00:38:49
I. I.
00:38:51
Have some friends that have Tesla and and that are kind of
00:38:53
not big fans of of Elon. They didn't turn their Tesla and
00:38:57
they're they're fine. They get over it.
00:38:58
I wish all of you would too. He is not this bad, horrible
00:39:03
person you make him out to be. And who are you to judge?
00:39:06
That's the problem. I have is you bring up his
00:39:07
family and his kids and, and all this and he's a terrible father
00:39:10
and this and that. It's none of your fucking
00:39:12
business right now. Whether you like it or not,
00:39:15
whether you believe it or not, he's cleaning out things, he's
00:39:18
doing things, he's working hard. And you'll, you'll, we'll find
00:39:22
out if he's full of shit or not, and we'll find out what if he's
00:39:25
not. Are you ever going to be able to
00:39:27
admit that Donald Trump and Elon Musk have flushed out a horribly
00:39:31
crooked system? Think about it.
00:39:35
But I didn't like, you know, this meme.
00:39:37
I didn't like it. But am I pissed?
00:39:38
No. OK, Funny.
00:39:39
Fine. Has lots of money.
00:39:42
Launching things in space? OK, fine, let's do Tucker
00:39:45
Carlson. How about that people hate
00:39:48
Tucker Carlson. If you don't know who he is, he
00:39:49
was a Fox analyst, became probably one of the best rated
00:39:55
nighttime news shows that there was, and they left Fox for
00:39:59
whatever reason. I'm not sure of that story.
00:40:01
So don't don't hold me to whether he was let go or whether
00:40:04
he left voluntarily. I think there are stories for
00:40:07
both. But he's got this known scowl
00:40:11
and in the in the meme you'll see it.
00:40:15
And he always looked. At his guests with this kind of.
00:40:19
Well, almost like. He was confused.
00:40:20
Well in this meme it says and showing the scowl and the
00:40:23
confused face and it says why does Tucker Carlson look like a
00:40:26
dog trying to understand a magic trick?
00:40:28
OK, great. I I think that the writer could
00:40:31
do better, but I get the idea. This face is hilarious.
00:40:36
I'd watch him interviewing people and on the side of the
00:40:38
thing and he, no matter what they were saying, he just had
00:40:41
this kind of like. And he'd sit there.
00:40:44
And it was still, and I just, I can imagine being the person
00:40:48
speaking to him and looking at that and just not being able to
00:40:50
talk and focus. Maybe that was what he was
00:40:52
trying to do. So there's that.
00:40:54
And this, you know? The next one.
00:40:58
I'm going to give you about Tucker is again an example of
00:41:00
how the left goes over the line. He went to.
00:41:04
Russia and interviewed Vladimir Putin.
00:41:06
He's one of the, I think he's the only American that has
00:41:10
gotten an interview with Vladimir Putin.
00:41:12
You don't have to. Like Putin.
00:41:14
I don't like Putin. You, you, you claim I do just
00:41:17
because I have a problem with Zelensky.
00:41:18
Also, I don't like Putin. But Tucker going there to get an
00:41:23
interview with one of our enemies, one of our the the
00:41:26
leaders we don't agree with. Is a good.
00:41:30
Thing him. Calling.
00:41:32
Out certain leadership qualities or lack thereof here in the
00:41:36
United States because of grocery store cleanliness prices, things
00:41:41
like that that he was seeing around Russia isn't a negative.
00:41:47
And so this meme right here was him with Russian flags and a
00:41:52
Russian hat and all these things.
00:41:54
And it said Comrade Tucker visits daddy, insinuating that
00:41:58
he's some sort of pro Russian. And I heard later on people
00:42:01
calling him a Russian spy, and then he's just so stupid.
00:42:05
To go and. Get an interview and to have a
00:42:07
conversation. People ask why.
00:42:12
Why is Trump pro Putin? He's not pro Putin, he's pro
00:42:16
diplomacy. And to keep.
00:42:18
Your enemies closer if you've heard that saying.
00:42:23
Is a good. Thing to be, to have diplomatic
00:42:26
relations with these countries like Russia, like North Korea,
00:42:29
it's a good thing. Whoa, he's shitting.
00:42:32
On all the other, all of our allies, no he's not.
00:42:34
He's just making our allies stand up and and and pay for
00:42:37
their share. That's it.
00:42:40
They need to be self-sufficient, and that's what he's trying to
00:42:43
do. All right, I'm going to get
00:42:46
rolling. Here.
00:42:47
So those are those are a bunch of memes on both sides.
00:42:49
And it's an example of how they can be level and then they can
00:42:52
also be a little bit too much in my opinion.
00:42:55
And I admitted that if if certain things were done to
00:42:58
Kamala in the same light, I would, I would not be OK with it
00:43:00
either. But man, most of them, we got to
00:43:03
laugh people. Let's do it.
00:43:05
So again, cancel culture and the debate over humor.
00:43:10
Kind of. Are intertwined, they coalesce
00:43:13
beautifully, if you will. And so I view it as this
00:43:17
vigilante woke movement that champions social justice by
00:43:23
virtue signaling. And I don't like it.
00:43:27
And so who are you to do that? I've said this before a million
00:43:31
times. Who are you to do that?
00:43:33
What you're doing is you're judging people based on what
00:43:36
they laugh at. I'm comparing this and I'm like
00:43:41
I said, I'm coalescing it with this topic for this show, Cancel
00:43:45
culture and comedy. What's the goal?
00:43:47
OK. I.
00:43:48
Looked this up too and I did this like a couple shows ago
00:43:50
when I did cancel culture. The goal with comedy is to
00:43:55
protect vulnerable groups. Is a keyword from harmful
00:43:59
rhetoric really harmful rhetoric in a comedy show?
00:44:06
Vulnerable groups? Come on, grow a backbone #1 if
00:44:13
you're part of this vulnerable group, give me a break.
00:44:17
Need everybody to jump and defend you?
00:44:19
Come on and don't be hypocrite. Because guess.
00:44:24
What you've said way worse about the opposition, about your
00:44:27
opposition. And I don't like.
00:44:29
That I don't like hypocrites. So don't sit here and get mad at
00:44:33
people for generalizing about a group of people in a comedy act
00:44:39
or or a meme or a movie or TV shows.
00:44:43
Look what happened to friends. Come on.
00:44:47
Heaven forbid there are 6 white people in New York that are all
00:44:50
friends. They're required to interview a
00:44:52
black person to be that 7th friend.
00:44:54
I guess I don't get it. Come on.
00:44:59
That's a whole. Other topic I feel like the
00:45:02
whole thing downplays and this was in this, I'll admit to you,
00:45:05
you saw me looking at my notes. This whole thing downplays true
00:45:08
issues, true racism, true prejudice, issues that need
00:45:14
addressed and you're wedding through all of this bullshit to
00:45:18
get to that real stuff. You're diminishing the real
00:45:21
problems. That's what I wanted to say.
00:45:23
So I'm going to end here. I'm not in quite late but I'm
00:45:26
going to I'm going to give you 2 quick questions.
00:45:28
Should comedy be fair game? Should there be any
00:45:32
restrictions? You can tell me the truth.
00:45:36
Perhaps there? Is a Gray area here and there
00:45:38
should be. Maybe there is a line?
00:45:41
We used to talk. About a line in Halloween
00:45:42
costumes and things like that. Maybe there's a line.
00:45:45
I don't think it should be right in the middle.
00:45:48
I think it should be fair game for the most part.
00:45:50
The second one is, how about this?
00:45:53
Does laughing at these things make that person who's laughing?
00:45:58
Are you able? To tell which side they're on.
00:46:00
Are you able to tell? Oh, well, they, they're a,
00:46:02
they're a right wing, you know, they're a conservative.
00:46:05
They voted for Trump. They're laughing at this.
00:46:08
Or is it? Possible that you can have a
00:46:10
crossover. It just it's just another
00:46:12
polarizing topic. And I never thought that comedy
00:46:16
would be. And so think about those
00:46:17
questions. I you know, if you laugh at
00:46:19
something and you're on the right side and you don't laugh,
00:46:21
that means you're on the left. I don't know, it makes no sense.
00:46:26
Excuse me and and so. Let's talk about Donna.
00:46:30
Real fast. He embraced humor.
00:46:33
He embraces it. He said I'm going to be myself.
00:46:35
I'm not going to shy away from it, obviously.
00:46:38
And he'll make some jokes and. And to me they're funny because
00:46:42
it's usually about the opposition who I can't align
00:46:45
with. And that's fair game.
00:46:49
The other side wants to make jokes and they want to to go,
00:46:51
yeah, that was funny about his voters, his supporters, great.
00:46:59
But to use his humor as some sort of a oh, he's just a
00:47:02
horrible, sick person. Come on.
00:47:05
Again, he's being funny. He knows how to get.
00:47:08
Under your skin, he he, he does it very well.
00:47:12
And that's mostly what he's trying to do.
00:47:13
I mean, they freak out and anything.
00:47:15
He says some of his classics, you know, with Hillary during
00:47:19
the debate, she said, you know, you're, you're obviously this,
00:47:22
this, this and this and he and you're not, you know, you're not
00:47:26
in charge of this. Yeah, 'cause you'd be in jail.
00:47:28
Classic, classic. Beautifully.
00:47:31
Set and then, you know, there was one I saw the other day
00:47:34
where not the other day a month or two ago where he's on the
00:47:36
golf course after the first debate.
00:47:39
So it was a little longer and he hits somebody was filming him
00:47:42
golfing and he hits a beautiful shot down the middle and he
00:47:44
turns around of the camera and just plays it off and goes.
00:47:46
Do you think Biden could do that?
00:47:49
Brilliant. You don't like it 'cause you
00:47:51
don't like him if you're on the other side, but brilliant, Come
00:47:53
on. If your side said something like
00:47:55
that, you'd laugh. Fucking laugh.
00:47:58
Let's do it. Laugh.
00:48:02
And I just feel like there's a dichotomy.
00:48:06
I feel like. Trump grew in popularity and
00:48:09
people became more people came, OK?
00:48:12
With with the laughter. With the sarcasm, with the they
00:48:17
weren't offended, they stopped it.
00:48:20
They they fought to cancel culture.
00:48:21
They fought these things. And that combined with the
00:48:25
progressives, the liberals who are unwilling to laugh, who
00:48:29
think that everybody's going to be offended by it, has caused
00:48:33
things like the Mima wars, has caused issues on with comedians,
00:48:39
has caused even more friction between the two.
00:48:44
What's meant to be? Funny is now being viewed as an
00:48:46
insult and I think that's because of those two, those two
00:48:50
factors, you know, Pelosi, AOC, Biden, it critiques their
00:48:58
system, their politics over what it's meant to do and it's being
00:49:06
over sensitized if that's the right way to say it.
00:49:09
So last right before we end here.
00:49:14
The. Comedians have called it out and
00:49:16
this is great. So you had Dave Chappelle, you
00:49:18
had Andrew Schultz, you had Ricky Gervais.
00:49:21
I mean, Gervais was the one that did the just because you're
00:49:24
offended doesn't mean you're right.
00:49:26
I can't agree more with that. Dave Chappelle.
00:49:29
He's fought it and fought it and he was kind of pushed out and
00:49:32
then back in and pushed out back.
00:49:33
And he made some trans comments. He made some this, he he stuck
00:49:37
with it though. He didn't give in.
00:49:38
And I, and I respect the hell out of that guy for it.
00:49:41
Even Jerry Seinfeld came out against it.
00:49:44
Bill Burr, Tim Allen, Joe Rogan, of course, Tim Dillon and so on
00:49:50
and so forth. Guess what?
00:49:52
Most of these people that I just read off to you were at one
00:49:55
point liberal, were at one point Democrats.
00:49:59
And forgive me, I've got an old episode on and it's quite loud.
00:50:05
Always want to watch some Stand the Great podcast.
00:50:07
But they were all, they were all Democrats and they've seen the
00:50:12
light, Especially when you can't do your, you can't, you can't
00:50:16
perform the way you want to perform.
00:50:18
So let's end. This is a long first show.
00:50:22
I'm excited. I, I could, I feel like I can go
00:50:25
off on this for don't worry, I won't for for longer.
00:50:29
I think that I really want to have this discussion and I think
00:50:33
I have somebody in mind for it. Pretty.
00:50:35
Soon as a guest and he and I always talk cancel culture,
00:50:40
cancel culture. He was the one I referred to
00:50:42
when I said I'd be on the golf course and he's like, you need
00:50:45
to be quiet and I was like the cart girl, the birds, the who's
00:50:48
going to hear me out here and I think he's ready to come talk
00:50:52
and I think that'll be a great show smart guy definitely
00:50:56
challenges me so look forward to that.
00:50:59
But to end, I just feel like comedy is a great tool for
00:51:03
unity. I feel like we're misusing it.
00:51:05
I feel like it's been put under the spotlight and it's being
00:51:08
used as how dare you and pointing fingers at each side
00:51:14
and I just I don't see it happening for a long time.
00:51:17
I don't see it being I don't see it uniting us for a long time.
00:51:21
I don't know what's going to unite us.
00:51:22
Honestly, that's a good question.
00:51:25
What do you think's going to unite us anything?
00:51:28
I mean. Are you cheering people that are
00:51:30
against Trump? Are you cheering for the country
00:51:32
to fail just so you can be right about Donald Trump?
00:51:35
Trump. People.
00:51:36
Are you willing to open our ears a little bit to the left and see
00:51:41
why they're so upset? I can't figure it out.
00:51:44
I'm trying let's. I don't know what's going to
00:51:47
unite us. And I don't think it's comedy.
00:51:48
And that's sad, because that should be something that does.
00:51:51
So keep laughing. If it doesn't solve our
00:51:54
problems, if it doesn't unite us, at least individually, it
00:51:57
just feels good to laugh. I couldn't do the show without
00:52:01
saying the phrase. Laughter really is the best
00:52:04
medicine. I love to laugh.
00:52:08
Love it. And I and and there'll be days
00:52:10
where I've just had the worst day.
00:52:13
But I have. A good laugh at the end of the
00:52:15
night with some buddies or with my wife or watching a show on
00:52:19
TV. And it makes things better.
00:52:22
So try it. No matter what side you're on,
00:52:24
no matter whether you like what I'm saying or not, just laugh
00:52:27
more. I think that's the first step in
00:52:30
in having comedy and laughter Unitus.
00:52:35
Here's a joke. It's not very good, but it's a
00:52:39
joke nonetheless about cancel culture.
00:52:41
Cancel culture and the woke. So how about this?
00:52:44
I tried to tell a joke about the woke mindset, but my punchline
00:52:48
demanded demanded a trigger warning and a safe space.
00:52:53
By the time I found those, I had forgotten the joke.
00:52:57
Silly, I know, but it's a good. Example of what I'm talking
00:53:01
about. So keep laughing in the face of
00:53:03
the woke. You have the right.
00:53:09
You have the. Right to find humor in
00:53:11
controversy. I liked that.
00:53:13
So much that I wrote it down and then I fucked up the delivery.
00:53:17
Oh well. Come back have.
00:53:19
