Time Text
From New York, it's Get Off My Lawn with Gavin McInnes.
I hear a gang fly on a human factory farm.
Are they having hours?
Pulling somebody on.
All the cats want to move.
Somebody grab power.
Her voice full so-called advanced weapon in a ball.
This is a night.
This night's a set of steel.
This is a night.
This is how we feel.
I'm going to go.
Bloody great song now.
That was from The Clash, Cut the Crap.
And that album did not do well.
I'm not sure why.
It could be because Joe Strummer, the vocalist, allowed the manager, Bernie Rhodes, to pollute his mind and kick out Mick Jones.
And then Mick went and got involved in electronics and did big audio dynamite.
And they made this album sign kind of like big audio dynamite.
Strange time, but it's a very underrated record.
And This is England is a very underrated song.
Now, the reason I chose that is because we have Gavin Watson on the show.
He was a geezer back in the 80s and late 70s who had a camera about during all the skins and punks and mods and rockers.
He was there for all that.
And he's got probably the most thorough archive of late 70s youth subculture in Britain that there is in the world.
So we've got him on.
I think I'm going to start doing a regular thing with him called Photos with Gav, because we're both named Gav.
We've got this dirty rock, Matt Lauer.
Don't care.
I feel safe.
That's one of the good things about liking older birds and not being a disgusting pervert.
It's a very relaxing time.
But as far as the other ones go, I think that I'm just going to choose the next guy randomly.
Dave, switch it up a bit.
Go to that one once in a while.
There you go.
You should be fascinating, making it interesting, for Christ's sake.
You don't have an artistic brain.
I think I'm just going to choose someone at random next time.
Like, Art Garfunkel.
I hereby predict, if he is alive, that Art Garfunkel is about to get in all sorts of trouble.
I'm basing that on zero evidence.
I'm just throwing a dart out into celebrity land and we'll see if that is.
Now, speaking of birds in peril, Lindsay Shepard is still getting attacked.
She's still under siege.
And remember, this is just a teacher's assistant who dared to show a Jordan Peterson video.
And Jordan Peterson is a geezer who said, no, I'm not asking you your bloody pronouns.
That's ridiculous.
I still have This is England in my head.
Remember that line?
I got my motorcycle jacket, but I'm walking all the time.
Anyway, she's, listen, there's this chick, Anjam Chowdhury, who's been attacking her on Twitter.
I love this.
Go to the Chowdhury tweet.
I've just got her full page on.
Yeah, go to Anjam Chowdhury.
This is classic academia speak.
Friendly reminder that you don't have to be an actual Nazi to benefit from white supremacy.
You can cling to its structures for protection, selectively advocate for free speech, or try to silence others who criticize your complicity when you gladly receive its support.
She's not mad at being criticized.
She's mad at being bloody interrogated.
And if you want to know where that leads to, check out Jada Franson.
Now, she's over in Britain.
She runs a thing called Britain First, which despite British accent, I don't really know much about Britain First, but I looked them up and they don't seem racist to me.
In fact, when you go to their website, you see a big thing called Britain First in Racism.
And they say, no, we're against the Islamification of Britain.
And we've got plenty of different races that join us in marches.
Plenty of people who, by the way, have been victims of Islam.
Look at Sikhs and Hindus and Muslims, for Christ's sakes.
No one kills more Muslims than Muslims.
But Jada Franson did a talk in, I think it was Dublin, where she talked about the Islamification of Europe and Britain.
And she got arrested.
You get arrested for that.
Lindsay Shepard today, Jada Franson tomorrow.
Well, Gavin, that's ridiculous.
She's over in crazy town.
Oh, really?
Then if that's such a nutty world, then why is it when Trump retweets her, which he did yesterday, she put up these tweets.
go to the Daily Mail thing, Dave.
She put up these tweets of, uh, uh, She put up these tweets.
I said Daily Mail.
So one would think, maybe I'll go to the link that says Daily Mail on it.
She put up these tweets that said that it just was examples of the problems with Islam in Western Europe, right?
And the attacks at him are, how dare you retweet fascists?
Now, these are the tweets.
That Daily Mail thing has the tweets.
So go down there.
There's Trump.
So this is allegedly fake.
This isn't a Muslim refugee, a migrant beating up a Dutch boy.
It's a Dutch national.
No, it is not.
It's a Dutch immigrant.
And the Dutch authorities are exaggerating his citizenry.
He's an immigrant.
He's a Muslim.
He hangs out with Muslims.
That was a Muslim beating up a Dutch boy.
Next is a picture of a radical Muslim.
I think he's linked to ISIS or Al-Qaeda or something.
This guy is not someone who's living in London and has a bad attitude.
This guy is part of the fighting forces of radical Islam.
He's smashing a Virgin Mary in this one, right?
They say, okay, that one's real.
No one is mad, by the way, about the actual tweets.
They're mad that Trump retweeted this woman who has been accused of racism, even though she's not.
How is that?
There's three people involved in this.
Trump for retweeting it, her for tweeting it, and then the actual tweets.
And the actual tweets are what you should be outraged against.
Look at the last one there: Islamist mob pushes teenage boy off roof and beats him to death.
And you know what's actually amazing about all this?
And by the way, of course, I'm trying to get Jada Francis on the show.
Duh.
What's amazing about all this is it's giving her tweets publicity.
So people are seeing radical Islam.
And I just love the British, sorry, the leftist brain, where they see something and they go, that's Muslim doing that?
That's too intense.
Didn't happen.
It's like the 9-11 Truthers.
What?
Planes going in a building?
No, that was George Bush.
That couldn't happen.
Get out of my head, horrible thing.
So today on the show, we have Sable, Proud Boys, who put up a giant banner of Al Franken.
They put it on a billboard that's 20 feet high.
The billboard itself.
The billboard, the actual, to get there is, I don't know, another 50 feet.
I'm not good at feet heights.
We also have Gavin Watson, as I introduced in the show, talking about 80s subculture and what it was like in the Thatcher days in England.
That's my cup of tea.
It might not be yours.
I'm also going to talk about appearing on the Bill Schultz show, where liberals ruined it, and they ruined it by ruining America, and that affects human beings eventually.
You'll see what I mean when I get there.
And then, of course, we will be checking back in with Rick Shapiro, and he'll be discussing Bruce Springsteen as I eat onion rings.
This Is England was a movie about 80s England in 2006, I believe.
That was my childhood, the 80s, and going back and forth from Canada to Britain.
And I was completely obsessed with British punk, mods, skinheads, rude boys, all of that subculture.
Now, the modern vernacular for all that is they just focus on skinheads, and then a tiny fraction of skinheads called Nazi skinheads, they've just taken over the whole thing, the whole 80s scene.
And that was a small group that was a problem, and they did, well, by the time I showed up, they had completely split and were constantly attacking us every weekend and kicking our ass because they were damaged children and we were middle class.
But watching this movie, even watching the trailer, makes me tear up because I sort of had compartmentalized my childhood, my adolescence, and went, all right, well, let's not dwell in the past.
There's nothing less punk than being an old punk.
But I have Gavin Watson on the show today, and he, for some reason, and no one did this back then, he had an Olympus camera with him, and he took beautiful shots.
So he has the largest archive in the world of the 80s punk and skinhead scene.
But this movie really gives it a good perspective, because they do acknowledge the Nazi problem, and they show a couple guys drifting over to the dark side.
But they really focus on the good guys, and that's who we were.
Check it out.
Talking to me.
Woodstock's that way, pal.
I know that way.
I don't like it either more.
I liked it better.
I'm Woody, mate.
Nice to meet you.
There's milk in my main man.
Pookey and this flat idiot's gadget.
By the way, this was another.
I'm tearing up.
I swear to God, my eyes.
I'm crying.
I'm officially crying on the show.
I'm Glenn Beck now.
I'm Jimmy Kimmel.
I'm crying.
Just freakin'do it.
Oh!
Look at that!
Transformation!
Transformation!
*music*
That's my childhood in a nutshell right there.
And this seems weird to me now, but there'd always be, and I'll talk to Gavin Watson about this.
There's always kids around.
You didn't get a babysitter.
You didn't get daycare.
Your kids weren't at home watching TV.
We didn't really have a TV.
It was black and white.
My parents were cheap, by the way.
So everything you hear about my youth is 10 years before it should have been.
We had a 1970s TV in the 80s.
But yeah, you just, there'd be someone with Down syndrome.
There'd be one kid who's seven.
He was just mates with us.
Everyone was sort of unified in this war on boredom.
*Music* I think you're lovely.
Will you be my girlfriend?
*Laughter*
That's been the best day of my life.
I just wanted to thank you because he said he's been being bullied at school and he'd help to now.
But the hair is not good.
I've got someone I want you.
Okay, so then it gets bad.
And we watch the bad man.
But let's introduce a new show here on Get Off My Lawn.
And it's called Pictures with Gavin.
All right, guys, Gavin, is you there?
I'm there, Gavin.
Are you?
Now, I'm getting the distinct impression that you're mucking about.
Are you just mucking about?
Yeah, I'm having a laugh.
You know, what happened to me the other day, to prepare for this interview, I was watching the trailer for This Is England, and I stunned myself because I started, just not a big, in a big way, but I had a little tear.
I started to cry.
And I realized that I had put that time of my life in amber and frozen it to sort of preserve it and never touched it again.
Because there's something about punk where you would say, this is, you don't want to be an old punk.
So immediately, for me, it was 1984.
I went, oh, I'm done.
And then, oh, no, sorry, it was much later than that.
Sorry, not more like 1992.
But I said, I'm done.
And then it was rave and indie rock and even rap.
And don't ever open that treasure chest.
I thought I was done.
When Rave came along, 23 years of age, my daughter had just been born.
I was done.
I'm just totally done.
Those photographs were my mundane life.
I had not even an inkling that no one would ever find them interesting at all because it was mundane what was around me.
And Rafe came along, done those E's.
I was like, Yeah, mate, I'm having some of this.
I'm having some.
I'm not going to sit up at the pub talking about a fight I had five years ago when I can stand in the field with those beautiful people watching the sun come up.
Exactly.
2028 come along.
That was unique.
That was unique to punks and skinheads.
They said, I'm not going to drag that on.
Look at Rockabillies, the Teds.
They got the Pompadour.
They're still janitors.
They're still like Elvis.
never stopped.
Well, Gavin, it was the Teds that put us all off ever being old skinheads because, you know, old Teds were And now I see guys have a skinhead reunion every year down in Brighton.
And it's just, they are the Teds.
They don't even look like skinheads.
They look like your granddad because they've got check shirts on and braces and beer guts and trousers up to here.
So they don't look like skinny heads.
They're just like fat granddads.
Well, that's the beauty of punk is when you get a bald spot, you can't have your mohawk anymore because there's a space in the back.
So it has to stop in the middle.
Okay, I've all went to the...
It was like a fancy dress party in a hospice.
No, literally, because the skinners and the punks, they were all ugly in the first place.
All the ugly people graviated towards being punks and skins.
So when they're nearly 60, they're all in wheelchairs.
Oh, mate, it was fucking grim.
Well, I was just in London.
I was just in London recently, and I was on Kings Road, and I saw punks there from the 70s.
Like, they looked like my dad with the leather jacket with GBH and discharge all over Chaos UK.
And they were panning for change.
Yeah.
They had like this face.
Wrinkled up, alcoholic faces.
Yeah.
It's like, yeah, it's like a party.
It was like a dress-up party hospice.
It was grim.
Well, yeah, Skins and Punks is a youth culture.
And it feels weird even now, but you know, the book came out, so I've become a bit of a spokesperson for that whole time.
So I was like you, mate.
It was quite painful early on.
Now I've got enough, I'm removed enough emotionally from that whole time to be able to sort of be behind the work.
Otherwise, no one else is going to be here, are they?
Well, I'm standing up to the plate.
Now the Stranglers are playing in the living room and I'm pogoing with the kids and I'm getting them children's books that say, Puck, I'm back in.
I'm all in.
After 30 years away, I'm ready to rock again.
But, you know, going through your book, I was reading Skins the other day and we'll go through some pictures.
But I'm thinking about the Scooter Boys, the Boot Boys, the Chelsea's, the Rude Boys, and the Mods and all these different subcultures.
And you think, what other place than England is like that?
No one has thousands of subcultures.
I think about it all the time because I do talks on this stuff and I'm trying to find that answer.
Well, how about this for a theory?
Well, I mean, I think the war's got a lot to do with it.
Falklands?
Only a tiny percentage, the Second World War.
But I'd like to hear your theory.
Yeah, rain.
So it's raining out.
And it's like someone's under house arrest, and they had extra hours to sort of work on little doilies on the chair.
And would you like your cuppa there?
Here's a TV tray.
The whole life possessions.
Right, so similarly, if you're a teenager and you're stuck in there, you'll listen to music, you'll make your music, your brother is big on sampling and stuff, you end up with, and then fashion too, you got time to get dressed, you're at home, you can sew a patch on your jacket, on your parka.
The next thing you know, you're a music expert with an incredible outfit.
Yeah, you have got a brilliant point.
Thank you.
That's definitely a big part of it.
So, you know, on a rainy day, my brother would have great sewing skills just to sew his turn-up on his trousers to win a quarter of an inch.
So he'd be sitting there sewing.
He learned how to knit.
Yeah, there's massive, yeah, boredom.
Boredom and bad weather.
I remember coming, I was Canadian, but we would go to Scotland every summer.
And I remember getting into punk and coming back and then seeing American punks.
And they just have on a champion sweatshirt and jeans and some sneakers.
And I go, didn't you spend any time on your outfit?
You can't just shave your head.
You got to get manic panic.
It takes like two hours to get ready.
Yeah, it was a check shirt and crappy jeans and maybe a bit of blue in your hair.
It's like, all right.
It's not much of an effort got into that.
And it's still going on, what with the grime scene and garage and all those little offshoots of the dance culture that we created again, that was created over here.
Yeah.
I find all that cultural stuff absolutely fascinating.
This tiny little rock that we live on has just produced so much culture.
I'm proud of that.
Yeah, it really is bizarre.
When you look at the history of rock and roll, which I think rock and roll comes from black slaves and beats, and then Irish anger and guitars, and those two combined formed a former country that sped up into rock and roll.
So it doesn't seem that British per se, but you look at how much, the history of rock and roll with the Beatles and everything, it's just peppered with Brits in this tiny little island.
Well, Hendrix, he was in America.
He came here, Hendrix.
Bob Marley come.
So there's something about this tiny little rock that's like a mixing pot culturally.
You end up coming out over here and then producing jungle that goes all out over the world.
And it just keeps, it's like a machine.
It really is, yeah.
You know, and it's still going on now.
So if you've got, if you want to be a good DJ, photographer, musician in England, you've got every town's full of thousands of them.
It's not like Denmark, well, there'll be one good DJ that can live it large.
You've got to climb to the top of a pyramid, mate, you know, to get to the top.
And that's what makes us so good because this country doesn't really like its culture on a political scale.
So you're clawing your way to the top, mate.
So you end up becoming really good at what you do.
Well, you've got a billion fucking talented barters behind you.
Right, right.
All right, let's look at some photos, shall we?
Yes.
This is the first one.
Dave, can you make sure he can see it?
Now, is that your bird?
That's Keely.
And that's me when I was 17.
That's not still your bird?
No, no.
No.
We've gone through a few since then.
She's a looker, mate.
That's exactly my type.
Oh, she was really bubbly, really fun, really good girl, Keely, but she got married really quickly.
Yeah, and just went off into that marriage world.
That world.
18, I think it was.
She got married to a guy a lot older than her.
Now, documentary photography is hot now, and Ryan McGinley and Terry Richardson, and I'm forgetting some chick's name.
Isn't Terry getting some stick, though, at the moment?
I'll keep reading.
Tons.
No, what happened with Terry was some 18-year-old from Britain tweeted H ⁇ M and said, are you working with the rape apologist?
And they said no, and killed a quarter of a million dollar campaign.
And then the next thing you know, he just becomes known as this pariah.
Where I was with him during those photos, women were hurling themselves at him.
It's bizarre.
But to get back to documentary photography, this is like 1980 or something, right?
1978.
This must have...
But that's unusual.
That must have been very unusual.
That's why these pictures are so coveted because that's so rare that someone would be running on the camera back then.
It's weird, and it I don't like to think about it too much.
I even look at the fire glass myself and think, I took that at 15.
That's just not right.
So yeah, they've been a double-edged sword, really, because I sort of unconsciously created this epic historical culture archive.
What feels like by accident?
Perfect.
How is that bad?
That sounds like the best thing I've ever heard.
I want to get a tattoo that says that.
Gavin, thanks very much for coming on the show.
Absolute pleasure as per usual.
Gabby Nicholson, I I've had more belly laughs than I've had in a long time, brother.
And I'll see you soon.
Come out to New York and see you.
Sign some pictures for you.
Cheers.
Cheers.
Proud boys always shine.
Proud boys.
Boom, boo-doo, boom, boom, boo-doo.
Always change their mind.
Our proud boys, our boys, got up to some shenanigans last night.
They put up a gigantic groping Al Franken on a billboard in LA.
Look at this thing.
I am more than impressed with this, not just because it's hilarious, but because of the kind of gonads you would need to get up there.
Look at this picture.
Here they are loading it up.
So they've got it on some sort of cardstock there, and they get up on that ladder.
How high are they?
Oh my lord.
I think that is considered, that's where God lives.
That's why God smashed the Tower of Babel because he thought they were getting too close to him.
But here at the top of the Tower of Babel in Babylon, we pull up this Alfranken and glue it to a giant banner as everyone freaks out.
Let's talk to the guys who did it.
Mr. X, are you there, sir?
I am here.
Uhuru.
Uhuru.
Black Power.
Black Power.
It appears that can you, where are you right now?
I'm in Los Angeles, California, right off the 405 Freeway in West LA.
But you're also at the billboard where you put up a giant Al Franken groping thing.
Yeah, well, I mean, we may or may have.
The word is on the streets that we did, but let's see.
You can see it there.
But I mean, how could anyone do that?
That must be Photoshop.
It must be.
There's no way that's real.
That's real.
Well, you know what it is?
Maybe Russian bots are doing the Photoshopping in real time because of Trump.
Why would a...
Why would the sign company be there if it's Photoshopped?
What?
Static.
What?
I can't hear you.
The sign company is there.
No, I don't see a sign company.
That's for something else.
And are the media there yet?
Are people taking pictures?
Yeah, right there.
Look at that.
There's, you know, this is from the.
Dude, go talk to them.
Let's hear what they have to say.
I don't know.
What do you think of this sign, bud?
What do you think of this?
You do?
But it's mean because it's, you know, Alfred, he's a good guy.
He makes mistakes, right?
He's not like those racist Republicans.
They're always raping everyone.
He's a nice lib.
What do you think?
We can't hear him.
Oh, okay.
So, Mr. X, your balls must be the size of watermelons to get up there.
Well, my butthole is actually really small now because it was so puckered up.
Yeah, it was pretty crazy.
Let me see.
Let me switch you back around.
I'm looking at the pictures here that were put on Twitter.
And one of them has you lifting up this, what was it on plywood?
What's it stuck onto?
It's on a special unique composite we use called cardboard.
That's so awesome, man.
So scary, though.
Oh, my God.
Yeah, it was, here, so here, I'll give you some perspective.
So I'll flip it around.
So we had to put two ladders to get up, right?
Right.
And one ladder to get to the 30 or 25-foot ladder up there.
Now, just walking on it without your hands touching anything, that's scarier than actually coming down because it's the catwalk is just insane.
You know what I mean?
Like it's just there's nothing there.
It's just thin.
We should get illegal aliens to do those jobs.
That's a job Americans don't want to do.
Why are you so racist, Gavin?
That's amazing, man.
So you may or may not have put that up at what time last night?
You got to do that in the middle of the night.
I don't know.
Here's a guy with me.
I don't know if you know who he is.
He looks familiar.
I'm kind of short.
Hey, I owe your boy a new pair of underwear.
Sabo.
Sabo is on the line.
That is fantastic, man.
I don't know what kind of hooligan would do something like this.
I don't know.
Maybe a short, old one and a really fucking looking one.
A racist one.
A racist one.
This is amazing, guys.
Wow.
I love, it's fun to gloat at the left and watch them get a taste of their own medicine because they're so obsessed with finding any of our mistakes that when they make one, it's great to put it on a giant billboard for all the world to see.
Literally, and that's not a word that I use anymore because millennials have ruined it, but you're right.
You literally have to put it on a billboard.
All right, man.
Well, thanks for checking in with us.
I am very proud of your boy.
I am very proud of you and all of your boys and non-gender specific people.
Look at my laptop.
Oh, my gosh.
Oh, my gosh.
Look at you, mocking pro-abortion people.
Yes, I'm sure.
I'm sure I feel about that.
Well, take care, bud.
See you, buddy.
Uhuru.
Okay.
Uhuru.
I just did Bill Schultz's show.
Bill is filling my shoes.
He took my slot over at Compound Media, Anthony Cumia's network, Shock Jock Radio.
Very ribald content over there.
And I'll talk about this on my podcast, I think, on Friday, about how a lot of my enemies will take segments from that comedy show and try to make it look like it's a PhD dissertation that deserves serious analysis.
But anyway, he's got all these, I'm going to say spinsters on the show, four chicks and they're New York gals and New York gals.
You know, New York is an elephant's graveyard for ovaries, ladies, and you come here thinking you're going to find a rich guy and maybe 10% of you do.
The other 90% get thrown in the trash.
Sorry.
And I find it sad.
I find it sad when they talk about their cats and their dogs.
Bill doesn't because they're his friends.
They're his only chance at someone to party with.
I'm being super mean here to people that are my friends and don't deserve it, but this is my interpretation.
I'm sorry.
And he had me on to talk about my infamous Christmas cards.
And I thought, you know, maybe I have a myopic obsession with the damage of the far left, but the whole show reeked of that.
First of all, I can't show my cards because I have to black out my wife and my kids' faces because lunatics are trying to kill me and think that they can, if they attack me and my family, it'll somehow be better for their cause.
I couldn't even talk about how I like to decorate my house with Merry Christmas stuff because that might show people that they're at the right house when they stalk me and want to attack me.
So that wasn't a reason why liberals had ruined this segment.
And then the other segment, the other reason it was ruined is because I feel like these, I call them sh ⁇ chests.
And again, to reiterate why I call them that, I love women.
But women who have been ripped from tradition and have been denied babies and marriage, they're like a robot who's been frazzled.
And it's like Iron Man, you took out that glowing orb from the center and you put a piece of poop there.
And you created a shit chest.
So they're good things.
They're good robots, but there's a major malfunction with them.
And to hear them nattering on and screaming and showing pictures of their dogs, it just seemed profoundly sad to me.
Women without families shouldn't send Christmas cards.
Christmas is a sad time for women over 25 to be hanging around.
They go home, their poor mothers say, what's going on with you?
And she goes, he dumped me when I turned 29.
He dumped me when I turned 32.
He dumped me when I turned 39.
He said he wanted kids, and I said I didn't want to because I thought I didn't want to.
You want kids, by the way.
Just so you know, men and women.
Anyway, off at several tangents.
But because these cackling hens didn't let me get a word in Edgewise, likely because they were insecure about their own lack of Christmas relevance, I thought I'd just take some time before I show you the segment so I can show you my amazing Christmas cards.
Now, I explain my Christmas cards on the show with Bill, but basically, my Christmas cards lampoon terrible people.
And I've got a big letter that I include with the card.
Now, this one was 2011.
And you can see there's my daughter there.
I didn't cover her face because her face is totally different now.
This was a long time ago.
And we called this one the Prince.
This was Prince Angel.
I called my son Prince Angel.
In Photoshop, I made his cheeks rosier and stuff.
And I said, we're going to get into theater.
And we're taking him down.
There's a week in LA where you go for pilot week or something.
And you stay in these homes that are almost like Curious Joel.
It's almost like a ski resort.
There's all these residences of people just living there for one cause, whether it's Orthodox Judaism, skiing, or getting your kids into TV.
They all look the same, these duplexes.
And we talked about that the whole time.
We talked about his agent, his cast agent.
And then the very last sentence was, Sophie is doing fine.
Funny, right?
It was all about Prince Angel.
And then the next year, Prince Angel had led us down.
Actually, I'm staggering some of these.
Look, mom, dad, Johnny, at all at the bottom there.
So Prince Angel didn't work out.
He's in clothes that don't fit him.
Sophie's wearing her mom's undershirt, and she's eating hummus out of a paper bag without her head shaved.
And then this was all about our new addition to the family, Johnny, super cool.
My wife, by the way, unfortunately, I can't show her face, but she's covered with blue eyeshadow and green eyeshadow.
And this was just this garish couple, totally obsessed with their baby who totally forgot about their two other kids.
I crack myself up.
This one is a good one.
At the Knights of Columbus, Hell's Kitchen, this is on their sort of corkboard.
And I don't think the Grand Knight really had a good look at it.
I think he just thought, oh, that's nice.
Kevin sent us a credit card, a credit card, a Christmas card, and he stuck it on the wall.
But it's actually brilliant.
Here you see our nanny.
The card does have this, by the way.
The card does have her eyes blacked out.
And there's Johnny, who led us down.
So we've moved on, and now we're all about our dance lessons.
And this entire letter was about the different dance moves we're doing.
And I talked about the instructor and how handsome he is.
He's Spanish.
I forget what name I made up for him, like Ricardo.
And then you'll notice the kids are just in the background on screens because we don't love them anymore.
So we've become totally selfish human beings.
Oh, and look, I Miloed up my teeth and I made myself into a handsome horse.
God, I cannot find that tuxedo blazer anywhere.
That was really expensive.
And then here's last year.
Last year we were punks on the streets.
Some bad investments had left us to be homeless, crusty punks.
I was wearing blonde dreads there.
Johnny really got into it and had a good pose.
The resolution isn't that great here.
Again, can't show you my wife, but I made all these costumes.
Like I, she's, Sophie's got studs in her vest.
He's got all studs.
These are crass patches sewn on.
That's my old leather jacket from when I was 18.
I don't care about my dog.
No need to black out his eyes.
I just stole that joke from a show, and you're about to see where I stole it from.
That's embarrassing.
Now, there's some inconsistencies here.
Like, crass punks would likely never be hanging out with Cockney Rejects punks.
And a Krass Punk usually wouldn't wear leather boots because he'd be a vegetarian.
But I think I slipped those under the radar.
Anyway.
Oh, and that letter that came with that was all about following these fans.
And he actually used to be the basis for Concrete Sucks, but he's playing with Napalm Death now because Napalm Death reformed after Godflesh split up.
It's really hilarious.
And it all comes from this terrible Christmas card we got from a close friend of ours about 10 years ago.
But anyway, speaking of crapping on friends, here is a terrible interview where I was on the Bill Schultz show.
I recorded it for my show.
And all I can smell when I watch this is dried up ovaries and a libertarian family man under siege.
And both those groups have been ruined, terrorized, and afflicted by the left.
Well, Gavin, we were just doing a...
I'm great.
How are you doing, Billy?
Look at this.
I love it.
We actually have a dupecast going on right now.
I'm putting you on my show.
So, Bill, welcome to Get Off My Lawn.
It's great to have you on the show today.
All right.
I mean, thank you for having me, Gavin.
Look, I'll take what I can get, particularly since this show is in desperate need of at least a little bit of testosterone right now.
It's an all-lady panel on an all-lady Thursday.
I mean, I'm a boy, so speak for yourself.
Come on, guys.
This is.
We basically, I wanted to talk to you today because you did something starting several years back, which I now annually look forward to.
And if I don't get one, I will actually email him and tell him to send it to me.
But can you sort of explain to all of us the McGinnis family tradition of Christmas cards?
Well, it started, we have these friends whose daughter was born the same time our daughter was born.
And we would get these Christmas cards that had this big letter that talked about how successful they are and their daughter's piano lessons.
And one of the lines that really drove me nuts is she said, sometimes I asked my husband to pinch me so I know I'm not dreaming.
I love that.
That was completely sincere.
Kinky ass bitch.
So ever since then, our Christmas cards have been a parody of them.
And I don't know if they know.
I actually don't send it to them because I don't want them to know.
No, they don't.
No, they don't.
Those people don't seem very self-aware.
Oh, this is so great.
We had my daughter, my son, we called Prince Angel.
I actually emailed, I texted some of these to John.
We had our son, Prince Angel, and he's going to be in theater, and our daughter was just in the background.
We've had them where our nanny is in the background.
I could actually pull these up.
Are you kidding me?
No, we don't like visuals on this.
It's a multimedia venture here.
It's unbelievable.
I remember for several years, there was definitely a theme of one being more favorite than the other, children-wise.
That is the theme.
Right.
And favoritism.
Here we go.
What a delight you are.
Now, I have to.
You have to be a good person.
Shut up, everyone.
Stop, stop, stop.
It just goes on like that.
It's a cacophony of hens and people wasting time.
People who shouldn't be talking about Christmas, talking about Christmas.
I want to talk about something more important.
My friend Trigger Tommy is facing prison time for knifing Antifa, for knifing the alt-left.
Well, that sounds pretty bad.
No, the exact same thing could happen to you.
This all started back in 2010.
He was living in Portland, which is like living in liberal loony land.
And some people found out that he's not a communist and he's actually kind of more like Johnny Ramon, more right-wing.
And so they decided he was a Nazi and they beat the crap out of him and he fought back and got in some good blows.
They decided that that wasn't good enough and he had to be punished more.
They started making up lies.
They say he shot some anti-FUD dudes.
They said he's part of Daily Stormer that said he has a secret Nazi identity.
All lies.
This is a kangaroo court.
But eventually, after losing his job and having all his friends terrorized and getting stalked everywhere he went, he said, fine, you know what?
I got to get out of here.
So he goes to Chicago, starts a new life, and he's okay for a while.
But thanks to social media, word gets out that this evil person, this person who, by the way, used to be left-wing, you see, like when Cassandra Fairbanks went from a Bernie Bro to a Trump person, they got really mad.
They hate defectors more than anything, communists.
So they would attack Cassandra's daughter and not literally, but just as bad, make threats to the daughter.
So on, what was it, April 11th, he's at a pool hall called Delilah's, and word gets out that he's there.
Immediately they go get their friends and they beat him with pool cues.
They cut a big gash in the back of his head.
There it is.
And he fights back and gets a few of them.
But the taunting increases after that.
Want to come out and play pool, Tommy?
This goes on and on all over social media.
Everywhere he goes, he sees people whispering, getting on their expensive $700 iPhones, saying, let's go kill this guy.
Anyway, on August 9th of this year, he went to a rancid show, a punk show.
And the alt mob started moving in on him.
The alt-left mob, the anti-Fo, these weird skinheads, these communist skinheads start moving in on him.
And after all these beatings and all this terror and all these verbal attacks, he eventually had a knife ready.
And he goes, look, guys, I don't want to fight.
Just please stand back.
And for some reason, I don't get this part of the story, but they just went, no, I'm coming at you.
So they kept coming.
They kept swarming.
And so he fought back.
And he sliced two of them really badly.
Now, we just got him out of jail on bail, but we need money to fight this trial.
Chicago justice moves very slowly.
So please go to WeSearcher, W-E-S-E-A-R-C-H-R.com, and it's the bounties, Tommy Christensen Legal Defense Fund.
If you just look up WeSearcher, Trigger Tommy, then it'll show up instantly.
And I'll pin the tweet.
But we really want to raise some serious money by Monday.
He's going in.
Every time with this Chicago stuff, there's like another update, another update.
But Monday's a big deal.
And I want to raise some money for him by Monday.
We're far from our goal.
And I'm telling you, not only is this guy innocent, but this same kind of Frankenstein mob hunt, witch hunt, loony mentality could lead to you.
You could be the next trigger, Tommy.
Michael Chevy.
Hi, welcome back to Onion Rings with Rick Shapiro.
Rick Shapiro, actually.
and today we're going to talk about Bruce Springsteen.
Bruce Springsteen, the greatest hidden poet.
I never heard of it.
Bruce Springsteen.
You know something when you're scared, you think it's done, you think you did everything?
And you're like, now what do I want to do?
I don't want to do normal things.
I want to steal that guy's girl and cross it.
I want to do this, I want to fall in love again.
I said, I'm not putting on Bruce.
I'm not putting on Bruce.
You make me violently end this.
And I play my life.
Oh, that was close.
I got to do something.
I got to perform.
I got to grab a girl.
