Time Text
She's gotta be somebody spong tonight.
It's the only night.
Isn't that weird that some singer would just, like the Bee Gees, would all of a sudden decide, I'm gonna start going, ah, this is how I sing.
Or that, remember that band, I'm going down the country, see what I can find.
Oh, yeah.
Like, what a weird choice to make.
I don't know when that started, but, you know, the Beach Boys did it, and then also Wayne Newton.
I thought he was a female.
Hey, guys, they show up at band practice.
Hey, guys, from now on, I'm going to be like, hey, what's going on, guys?
And they go, I'd rather you didn't do that, Art.
Yeah.
So that was Jackson Brown, and that song was in Fast Times at Ridgemont High, starring Phoebe Cates.
We all know the famous scene where she comes out of the pool and she reveals her breasts to the world.
And I was talking about this with Ryan recently.
There's in the subway when we get off at Times Square, there's a big, huge billboard campaign now of Victoria's secret models.
And they're too beautiful to be attractive.
And that's what I was saying in the other show, and Ryan disappointed me by not pulling up the faces.
But like, Lonnie Anderson was the main secretary at WKRP.
She was too, like, there's a level of beauty where you're handsome, and, you know, the strong cowcatcher chin and stuff, and you just go, meh, you're a handsome guy.
Did you say WPRK?
No, I don't think so.
Maybe I did.
I think you did.
WKRP.
But Bailey, I assume you're pulling up these pictures now.
What are you doing?
Yeah.
Bailey.
Yeah, there we go.
That's perfect.
So Lonnie Anderson is the blonde, and she's just like, she's actually kind of pretty cute.
Much cuter than the Victoria's Secret models.
But it's too much.
Like, that's too much woman.
You want someone you can hang around with a little more.
And that's when we get to Bailey.
Look at Bailey there with the glasses and the nice blouse and the sort of corduroy overalls.
That's the kind of woman we like.
We like a bit of cuteness, you know?
We don't want like, hello, I'm a beautiful woman.
Like find one of the Victoria's Secret gals.
They all look exactly the same, too.
They're all just this perfect like, you said handsome, basically.
Handsome.
And some of them you look at them and you think, if you would remove those false eyelashes and have a short hairdo and put a suit on, you'd be a dashing man like Brad Pitt.
This one's not fair, but that Asian girl was pretty spectacular.
But a couple of handsome ones coming up.
Yeah, that's exactly what that is.
That's exactly what I'm talking about.
It looks like it'll break if you touch it too much.
Yeah.
Like too fragile.
It's like a Faberge egg.
Yeah.
Wow, you really zoomed in on yourself for this particular episode.
Okay, now show Phoebe Cates in Fast Times and Ridgemont High.
Oh, you have to go find it again?
This is, I think, the most attractive woman in the world.
It's pretty bonkers.
If there's a guy in the world who doesn't find Phoebe Cates in Fast Times and Ridgemont High attractive, I would like to study him in a lab.
I would be like Darwin in the Galapagos Islands finding a new species.
And you see what she's got there.
She's got some cuteness, you know?
It's not all dashing.
We don't like dashing women.
She still looks pretty good, and she's old as can be.
So, welcome to the show.
I'm reading this book, Permanently Suspended, Anthony Coomi's Life Story.
He clearly dictated it into a microphone.
You can just tell.
But it's good.
It's very conversational.
And I'm going to talk to him about it.
We have him on the show at the end of the show.
But I find it, you don't have to like or care about Anthony Coomi.
And this is Opian Anthony, the shock shock guy.
You don't have to care about him to enjoy this book.
But it's just interesting watching the evolution of free speech.
He goes all the way back to the 80s, and you see a working-class guy who obviously has a lot of talent and is funny, get into radio, and then you see the various reactions you get.
And what you really notice is it goes from the FCC being the bad guys in the 90s, 80s, and 90s to the mob.
And the mob is much harder to deal with than the government.
And that's the sort of takeaway from this book is that fighting social justice warriors is worse than fighting the government because the government at least has some standards.
The mob is hysterical.
Also on the front page of the New York Post today, we got Trump card.
The president told in an exclusive to the New York Post that if the Dems come after him, he has some devastating docks he's going to release.
He goes, I punch back.
I don't like that.
Don't save it, dude.
If you have criminal papers, get them out there.
If you see someone murder someone, you don't say, hey, if that guy ever crosses me, I got this whole videotape on my phone.
I got this whole video of him murdering someone.
No, go to the police right away.
You just saw a murder.
One other story I wanted to briefly mention is this.
Okay, let me just read it first without showing you the picture.
I three wed.
Affairs aren't always a marriage killer.
Of course, this is written by women.
Affairs aren't always a marriage killer, even for supposedly monogamous Couples.
On the contrary, these spouses find that strain can actually strengthen a relationship.
And you go, hmm, infidelity is good for a marriage?
Who are you talking about?
Oh, lesbians who have been married for a year.
That's not really what you were saying with the headline.
You have to kind of mention who you're talking about.
Lesbians married for a year have noticed that having affairs and bringing tons of women over doesn't hurt their marriage.
Yeah, because you're not really married.
I mean, come on.
The picture, if you were just to read that without the picture, you'd go, oh, there's some, you know, Midwestern couple with three kids who go and have orgies every week or have mistresses, and it turns out great for everybody.
No.
What I really see when I read that is two lesbians regret getting married and decide not to follow the rules.
I mean, you take the kids and the monogamy out of it.
Aren't you just dating?
What's left?
Well, when one of them is sick, the other can visit her on her hospital bed.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Have you noticed the liberals always have like one example to shatter everything else?
Like you'll go, I'm against abortion.
Oh, yeah, what if she was raped by her father?
Should she have to keep that kid?
Or what if it would kill her to have the kid?
Should she die to have the kid?
And you go, is that really happening?
How many women are pregnant from their father?
Exceptions exist.
Yes.
Yeah, they don't obliterate a rule.
Okay, just because you found one crazy example that you made up that's hypothetical doesn't mean you get to wipe out tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of unborn children.
It's funny that same-sex couples, they fight for marriage and then the first thing they do is they change it to something that's not marriage.
Yeah, I thought you wanted to get married.
Why don't you just make something new?
Well, I like the part where I can visit my spouse on a hospital bed.
All right.
Let me know if that ever happens.
But wait a minute.
I've been to a million hospitals.
You can visit anyone you want.
Like, when do they go...
Otherwise, no way, Jose.
I'm his best friend.
He's dying?
Sorry, sir.
Straight out.
We're in a no-friend zone.
We don't allow friends in the hospital.
Now, this picture that we had on the show the other day, the immigrant crossing, I wanted to have a closer look at it because it won't die.
It's a meme now.
Do you have some of the memes?
They're actually pretty funny.
Should I show the actual picture for you?
No, we'll get to the actual picture after.
I just have to justify doing an old story, and I think the fact that it's a meme helps bring us in to that.
I've got kind of harsh shadows here.
This is the best one ever in the world.
She's in such a hurry to get him up there.
This is exactly what is going on.
In fact, I saw one of the groups that was involved was called like Voto Mexico Hispanic or something.
Like they have the word vote in the name of their nonprofit that's working to get people over the border.
That was a good attack on Joe Biden.
It's molesting everyone.
What else you got?
That's the perfect attack on Justin Trudeau.
You got that picture of him having a photograph taken of himself while he signs a photo of himself, right?
Yeah.
He's the best.
Dora?
Keep going.
I mean, we're never going to beat the polling station.
Okay, so.
That's pretty good.
I think that this picture is a perfect example of the incuriosity we have in this country.
That's a good one.
The in-curiosity we have in that picture.
The left wanted, and I talked about this weeks and weeks ago, the left wanted children in peril at the border.
Ideally, there'd be a kid face down in the dirt, and there'd be an ICE agent standing above them looking down.
They wanted one of those pictures, and they finally got their picture.
And they were so quick to pounce on it that their eyes never left those four people.
Is it four?
Why doesn't she have any shoes on, by the way?
Why did you bring a toddler to the most dangerous place in the country?
Or pants.
She has no pants?
They have just diapers on.
I saw a picture of her carrying the tear gas canister.
She's done tons of publicity ever since.
Okay, so now let's click on the picture, shall we?
Because we are not incurious.
And let's just start looking around.
Like, go deep behind her.
Let's zoom in.
Can you do that?
Do you have the technology?
It makes a reversing sound when you do it.
So that guy's running, so that looks somewhat perilous, if that's a word, up on the left.
But now let's start to stray to the right a little bit.
And you see...
Oh, can you see...
Can you move your mouse there or something?
I see someone holding their camera horizontally like this.
This is someone taking a selfie at this horrible, hellish place where there's two.
Can you see the guy I'm talking about?
There's also something below.
Is that someone in a wheelchair?
There seems to be a bunch, like a table or some stuff there.
A stroller?
And then now go the other way, like the direction she's running in.
And you see a lot of people just like, there's a guy with a tripod.
Look at that.
Just setting up the tripod in a war zone, as one does.
And then there's this guy walking around, but then look at that guy in the far right.
You see him?
He's got a green backpack on.
And he's just like walking to school.
Now, I've seen a lot of pictures of war zones, and they don't have guys setting up tripods, and they don't have a dude with a green backpack going on a stroll, and they don't have someone taking a selfie with a $500 phone.
You just, you got your image, and you just ran with it.
And boy, have they ran with it.
Like, Twitter these days, I go back on it sometimes.
It's just poison.
It's just celebrities and comedians screaming at the top of their thumbs about Trump and Nazis and I don't want to live in this America and having panic attacks And Trump, Trump, Trump, and getting people fired and just this disdain and vitriol.
It's like, you remember that we did the turkey episode, and they said, you know, you need a few male turkeys to protect, to just calm everyone.
And what Twitter's done is it's gotten rid of me and Milo and all the male turkeys, and now you just have female turkeys running around, and they are just going absolutely ballistic.
By the way, I mean, you don't, it's not like a camera just takes one picture and like, oh man, we just got the picture with the tear gas canister that far away.
Like, that's the closest image there.
That's the closest that tear gas got to those people.
And it's not very close.
No.
She's fine.
She's fine.
Be better.
I wanted to send you, I read an article today.
Where did I get it from?
It was in the Washington Post, and she basically said that, here it is.
I'll text it to you.
Or I'll email it to you.
They said, what's going on with Trump is he feeds on our insecurity.
You see, we're all insecure males, and he preys on that and says, no, you're a real man.
You're a man.
Don't let the chicks get you down, dude.
And you go, yeah.
Like, she portrays America as these sort of whimpering, incel, obese neckbeards that are just going, no one likes me.
And then they look at Trump and he goes, people do like you.
You're a man.
And he goes, yeah, I'm a man.
And of course, it's written by a woman who needed a man to hold her hand throughout the research.
But they did things like they looked up ads for performance enhancers and stuff like that.
And then they tied it to certain areas.
And they decided, with the most junk science you've ever seen, that Donald Trump appeals to men secretly insecure about their manhood.
Go down a bit?
And of course, this was written by Sarah DeMazio, but she needed a guy named Eric Knowles to hold her hand through it.
But from boasting about the size of his penis on national television to releasing records of his high testosterone levels, President Trump's rhetoric and behavior exude machismo.
His behavior, by the way, he sends out stuff like that because you won't shut up about his small penis and his small hands and how he's gay for Putin.
You started it all.
They make an allegation, then the guy defends himself, and then they say, God, he's so insecure.
And the depiction of these weak men, fragile masculinity.
Look, this is the actual deal, Sarah.
Men are sitting at home getting told they're evil, they're toxic, man spreading, making it illegal to not use pronouns.
And normal dads are just going, this is getting ridiculous.
Let's just, we tried Obama, they didn't shut up, let's just elect Trump and say no more of this SJW crap, it's annoying.
And then they go, ooh, you're so fragile.
You're so, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
When a kid gets a timeout for swearing or something, he doesn't go to his dad, ooh, now you have to give me a timeout because you're so scared of swear words.
No, you're being a bad boy is why you're getting a timeout.
It's not an evidence of my fragility.
And make up your mind, by the way, is this too, is America full of these evil, machismo, rednecks, racist white men, or is it a bunch of wimpy neckbeards?
You can't get your story straight.
You just know you hate us.
We're not doing good for time, are we?
15?
We've got four minutes left?
Okay.
I'm not getting to bite out a lot.
Okay, one thing I do have to squeeze in here.
I was talking to Ezra Levant last night, and I was talking about what we talked about on the other show, where the government is paying the media $600 million for favorable stories, which is the most Venezuelan thing Canada has ever done.
And the hilarious thing about it is every time you read articles about it, it's very fair and cool grant going to newspapers who could do with some freedom of press and free speech.
You go, wow, you're a good little pet, aren't you?
But then it hit me last night.
I go, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.
Canada's tiny.
$600 million?
What are they giving everyone a million dollars?
And Ezra goes, don't joke.
There's only about 12,000 media workers in the whole country.
Now, $1.5 billion went for the CBC.
$600 million there.
That's $2.1 billion.
Plus, the CBC wants another $400 million.
They'll probably get it.
So now we're up to $2.5 billion with only 12,000 people to spread it around.
That's $200,000 each for everyone, like producers, editors, everyone in Canada, in media, is up for $200,000.
Now, you know for a fact, Rebel and Ezra and anyone conservative isn't going to get a lick of that dough.
But Justin Trudeau, see, I caught you, Justin, is spending $200,000.
Okay, and last thing, we'll just squeeze in here before we talk to Anthony.
Stephen Colbert, who annoys the crap out of me, like he's the same politics as every talk show host.
And you know how I always bitch about the Sackler family and Purdue Pharmaceuticals and why doesn't anyone go after Big Pharma?
Finally, a lefty goes after Purdue.
Finally, someone is talking about something real in this country and not Trump and Nazis.
This is the same Stephen Colbert who's Zieg Heiled talking about Trump.
Yeah.
And it's also a big platform too.
I'm sure they have sponsors that are pharmaceutical companies.
So it's pretty brave, right?
That is, it is brave because I don't know so much about what network he's on, but you watch older things like Fox and every single commercial is Zootaflex, ask your doctor about pharmaceutical Zapotecs.
Purdue, these people, these pharma people, Purdue, they deny the charges, but here's the thing.
Despite telling Congress that they didn't know about Oxie's potential for abuse until 2000, prosecutors have found that in over 100 notes recording their visits to doctors in the late 90s, the company's sales representatives used the words street value, crush, or Snort.
No, that's what happens when the head of sales is El Chapo.
Anyway, so they kept it funny, but he covered everything.
He covered the Sackler family.
He showed pictures of them.
He mentioned Richard Sackler.
He mentioned that they said, oh, we're only doing some of them.
Most of them are generics.
And then we discovered that they also make the generics.
And he even pretended he broke the story.
I've been talking about this for weeks.
Everyone is knowing about this.
I think New York Mag also did a really good expose.
But he also talks about how they are patenting the cure, the opioid blocker.
So just like a Superman movie, the evil villain gets the world addicted to a deadly drug that kills 115 Americans a day, and then Lex Luthor sells the cure.
Anyway, that's all the news we can squeeze out because I want to talk in depth about free speech with my old boss, Anthony Cumi.
I'm sure it'll be a totally unbiased interview where I'm not, where I'm really hitting Anthony with the tough questions.
Anthony, are you there, sir?
Yes, Gavin.
How are you?
I'm wonderful.
I'm reading this incredible book, Permanently Suspended.
It's very convers.
Go ahead, sorry?
That's me.
It's very conversational, and I know you're not the unlaziest person on earth, and I'm getting the feeling when I'm reading it that a lot of this was just dictated, and then some poor bastard had to sit there and get all the grammar right.
Gavin, you are like Columbo.
You figured it out.
I'm not really the guy that will sit there and take pen to paper or sit behind a, what do they call it, a typewriter.
Yeah.
Well, it ends up being a very easy read because it's so conversational.
And people who aren't familiar with your story in the Open Anthony years, I think one of the most interesting things about this whole book is this concept of a major corporation like Sirius paying two guys not to do radio.
I've never heard of anything like that before.
Yeah, well, that was CBS Radio.
Oh, XM.
Yes, CBS Radio paid us millions of dollars to not work for two years.
Yeah, they were petrified that Clear Channel, another company, was going to hire us to do mornings and go against Howard Stern, who CBS had, obviously.
And even if we didn't beat Howard, if we just took enough listeners away where he wasn't number one anymore, they'd have lost millions of dollars.
So they said, let's pay them, keep them under contract, and keep them off of anyone's radio for two years.
So it was an amazing two years of just abusing myself and gambling and buying radio control helicopters and just playing with millions of dollars.
And I'm reading it and wondering, how often does this happen?
I think it happens a lot.
Once you're under contract, they own you and they can do whatever they want.
And if they deem you dangerous to be on a competition's airwaves, they will sit you out.
And it's pretty, it's great when you look at it and you tell anybody and they're like, oh my God, I would take that deal in a second.
It's fantastic.
And it was.
But there's that thing that you're going to lose your fans.
Like for two years in radio, you're gone.
You're literally gone.
And there was no social media back then.
No way to get to your fans.
So after two years, you could absolutely be out of the game.
That's interesting.
And, you know, I was sort of lamenting those days when I was reading this.
And you talk about iHeartRadio and all these different companies.
They all seem to be billions of dollars in debt now.
And as you say towards the end of the book, there's no one on FMRA.
I'm just talking anymore.
I think we have lost free speech in this country, everywhere.
Oh, my God, yes.
Everything from, yeah, radio, entertainment, stand-up comedy.
Dude, bars.
Like talking to your friends.
The people are so much more guarded.
I've been doing all these interviews since I was in the news, and they always say, yeah, but you have to understand that in this climate, you say those things, and they're going to get taken out of context.
And you go, okay, we'll all be non-playable characters and just speak like in gray monotone everywhere.
Yeah.
That's what they want.
Well, that's what everyone's doing.
They're horrified.
I went to the comedy store the other night because I'm out here in Los Angeles, California.
And I went to the comedy store and the comics seem to want to push back.
They're starting to do material that is just making the crowd groan.
And they have to acknowledge it every time and go, oh, oh, why?
Why?
You can't laugh at that.
Like the people are so brainwashed now to have this visceral reaction to a joke that could be perceived as sexist or racist or homophobic that they don't know what to do.
And first of all, I think the non-playable character thing is hilariously funny because it's so accurate.
Like I've played so many video games through my life and the NPC has always made me laugh.
They just walk up and go, hey, watch where you're going.
And then just walk away.
They're useless and they don't have their own mind of their own.
And you'll come upon three characters that say the same exact thing to you.
It's such a great analogy that somebody came up with.
But that's what people are doing.
They're afraid to have any kind of personality.
They're afraid to go off script because, and I'm not even saying the fear isn't justified.
You could get screwed, man.
You could end up with no career and a destroyed reputation.
I mean, I don't have to tell you, and no one has to tell me.
This is real life.
Yeah, and surely these entertainers realize that when you create this culture of Puritanism, you're going to get sucked into it.
Like Aziz Ansari, he just came out of hiding after that horrible rape that he committed where she performed fellatio seven times or something.
It's the weirdest sexual assault I've ever heard of in my life.
But he comes out and now he has a whole shtick about armchair critics and social justice warriors and how they ruin lives.
And I'm reading it going, dude, you were one of them.
You got hoisted on your own petard.
He was one of them, yeah.
And I don't think they realized that.
I don't think they realize that within a split second, it can turn on you.
You see like Alyssa Milano talking about the Me Too movement and how the leaders of that movement have to go because they didn't disavow Farrakhan and some of the hatred and anti-Semitism.
It's like they just have to go after whatever's around them.
And it doesn't matter who it is or what their opinions were yesterday.
It's right at this moment.
And in a split second, you could just lose everything.
So everyone's petrified.
They want to smash the patriarchy.
And you go, okay, what do you got?
We have a matriarchy.
What are you going to do in the matriarchy?
We're going to have a giant woman's march with pussy hats on our head because we didn't get a joke, a guy said in a bus.
One of the speakers is Linda Sarsour, who wants Sharia law and wants to destroy Israel.
The other was, what was her name, Donna Hilton or something, who sodomized a gay man to death and went to jail for 20 years.
And you go, ladies, this world, you're getting rid of Anthony and I. You're getting rid of all these evil white men that you think are ruining.
Your situation, your paganism is going to be way worse.
It's already rife with cannibalism.
It is.
And to read some of the stuff I see by like Mark Hamill on Twitter and a couple of other guys that are like, men have been in charge for too long.
Women need to be in charge now.
And they paint this picture, this idealistic wonderfulness that mom is going to be in charge and take care of us and make the world a better place.
I've never seen a more vindictive people than women.
I'm sorry.
It's just the way it is.
They could turn in a second and be vicious on you.
And the idea that because they're women, they're going to make better leaders or be more compassionate or whatever is such crap.
And it's so strange that they openly concede that they're not electing based on policy.
They're electing based on gender.
Like Mark Ruffalo was on Twitter waving a flag and he was saying, this is me waving goodbye to the patriarchy.
I hate that.
It's so douchey.
Yeah, yeah.
When you see the news and they talk about, oh, look how many women were elected, the most women ever elected during the midterms.
And it's like, who gives a shit?
They're the one.
The second you say anything, they'll call you a misogynist, woman hater, whatever.
And all they're doing is basing their pleasure of the results of the election on their sex and not their qualifications or anything.
And they always have been and always will be the most sexist, racist, homophobic people based on their actions that I've ever seen.
Well, they smashed your patriarchy because you had a bunch of offensive tweets after you got assaulted by a giant black tranny and didn't use your gun.
If the races were reversed, it would be a story of a hero who kept his cool.
But you could have just withered away and vanished and just become a nothing.
But starting that compound media, you're saying in the book that you were finally unleashed.
And you'd think, okay, now the guy's unleashed.
He's obviously a racist, sexist homophobe.
So it's just going to be long diatribes and blackface and talking about why rape should be legalized.
But when men are free to do whatever they want, you just end up having a pretty reasonable talk show where you talk about funny stuff.
That's men unleashed.
Yeah.
Oh, there we go.
I just saw a poor connection or something, but you're right.
You would think that I'd be on there like, you know, Farrakhan or David Duke or someone and just be going off about the races and everything.
And meanwhile, being unleashed has just pretty much been, let's have a lot of fun.
Let's do comedy and make jokes about things without having to worry that my joke is going to be taken out of context and I'm going to get screwed for it.
I didn't decide to turn complete freedom of speech into some racist or misogynistic platform to condone violence against people.
We just, we're guys.
All we want to do is sit around with our friends and make jokes and bust each other's balls and laugh sometimes at some really atrocious things.
And that's what guys do.
And guys have done this for millennia.
It's nothing new and it's nothing that can be bred out of us in a couple of short years because a few soy boys like we were just talking about are waving flags.
They're the anomaly.
They're the weirdos.
The real guys are like us, just wanting to sit around, have a good time, and not be bothered and crucified.
Uh-oh.
He's frozen.
Right when he said crucified.
Are you back?
Yeah.
And we lost your writing.
Crucified.
That was our, we have a special blasphemy tag in Skype that cuts everyone out when they say crucified.
But I was going to add to what you're saying.
The left is literally convinced that we want to just go up and grab women by their vaginas, just on the street or at work and just honk.
They have us so wrong.
I worked at Rebel for a while, and they had no HR there at the time.
So men were free to grab all the butts they want without worrying about being fired.
Guess what we did with all these women around us?
We joked around, we had fun, it was a really fun place to work.
Same with Compound.
You had a chick booking all the guests there with gigantic breasts, and there was a million jokes about it, and she was laughing her head off.
Yeah, I guess recently something came out about the work environment at CBS Radio years ago.
And of course, there's lawsuits because of sexual harassment and what have you.
And I worked at CBS during that period.
And I got to tell you, it was a party.
We would go out or in studio.
There were these women working there, and we'd all be drinking and busting each other's balls or just making jokes and whatever.
And everyone was fine with it.
At the time, it didn't look like these girls were hostages.
It didn't look like a machine gun was pointed at their head off camera or something.
Everyone enjoyed it.
Everyone was having fun.
And then 15 years later, all of a sudden it was a problem and it was terrible.
And they were forced into doing things and had to deal with men drinking and talking about their tits and shit.
It's so ridiculous because they're lying.
It's all a lie because now they see an opportunity to turn a buck or get their name out there.
And that's the only reason they're coming forward.
So brave to come forward.
At the time, they were just as much into it and having fun as all the guys were.
So that's what we see happening now, too.
A lot of people are being called out to stuff that happened 10, 15 years ago when it wasn't even close to a problem back then.
Yeah, that's really what this comes down to.
In the name of justice, in the name of equality, in the name of all this virtue signaling, they're really at war with fun.
They're at war with colorful language and joking around with your friends and saying silly things and playing devil's advocate.
And they're against all of that.
And they're turning this whole country into non-playable characters.
Yeah, yeah, I don't know.
I keep thinking I see a light at the end of the tunnel sometimes, and then it just closes up again.
And it's very difficult to really express yourself these days.
And I see it.
I love that I have a platform to speak openly about whatever I want.
I love it.
But I look around and realize how alone I am.
There are only a few of us out there that really are doing this.
And we have paid a price for it.
There is definitely a price to be paid for doing nothing more than expressing yourself, giving your opinions, making jokes, all innocent things.
Never advocating violence, never perpetrating violence against anybody, never oppressing anybody.
These are opinions and mostly jokes.
And we've paid with our reputations and our livelihoods and our safety just for doing that.
So you're alone in this because everyone else sees it and you're that example and they're petrified.
Everyone's scared to just give opinions.
Yep.
It's a sad state of affairs, but I think a lot of people see you doing this and not hiding and coming back full force.
The rise and fall and rise again is inspiring to people and maybe it'll encourage others to show a little bit of bravery.
I mean, we did do the Civil War.
We were in World War II.
Maybe there's got to be some balls in there somewhere.
You would think and you would hope, but my God, Gavin, when was the last time you were out in Los Angeles, by the way?
Oh, about a year ago.
This place is screwed.
I mean, California in and of itself, we know it's one of the People's Republic of California.
But I have not seen men.
Like, there's no men around here.
It's a bunch of wispy dudes and gay men.
Like, that's pretty much it.
They're on their little scooters out here, little scooters that are all over the place.
And they just ride around with their man buns and grub and just looking to support women.
Yeah, last time I was there, I noticed that it hadn't occurred to anyone in the entire city that Obama was not a god, and Obama had imperfections, and there was one or two things slightly wrong with his presidency, like, I don't know, Fast and Furious, Benghazi, you know, minor details like that.
And then the other thing I noticed is they see Bill Maher as basically God.
And every time you get in an argument with him, they go, you should get on Bill Maher.
You should talk to Bill Maher.
Meaning like, he's our Superman.
You should fight him.
And I couldn't convince her.
I go, guys, Bill Maher's a douche.
They never thought of that.
I heard someone had to whisper their support to you at a...
I heard someone had to whisper their support to you at a pot dispensary.
Yeah, what an amazing turn of events there.
We went to one of the pot dispensaries.
I'm out here with some friends that do smoke the weed.
And it's very strange.
There's big billboards everywhere for pot.
And you just walk in and there's pot.
And they're very professional in these places.
You expect just some dude to be like, hey, man, what do you need?
And they're very clinical about it.
They know all the words.
And you just kind of sit there and go, wow, this really is strange.
So there was this guy working there.
And he actually, it was like Fight Club.
He kind of looked at me and went, he goes, I appreciate what you're doing out there, sir.
I swear he said that.
And it was like, he couldn't really be specific.
He couldn't talk openly to me because of my ideology and my opinions.
But he said, he goes, people come in here all the time and say, oh, I need this, this, and this.
Did you hear Trump's speech today?
Did you see what's happening on the border?
I need, and then they buy weed and need to calm down.
They're losing their minds.
So, yeah, this guy who works in a pot dispensary, who obviously has conservative ideas, couldn't even really speak openly lest he'd be fired.
Supporting Trump.
It's amazing.
Supporting Trump in 2018 is the same as being gay in the 50s.
Right.
And you will get fagbashed.
You will get a bottle in the head if you're wearing a MAGA hat.
It's also violent.
It's not just like taboo.
It's dangerous.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And then here at the hotel, Keith was down in the lounge and CNN was on the TV.
So he goes to one of the guys, he goes, can we change this channel?
He goes, whatever you want.
He goes, just not Fox News.
And Keith just goes, how about no news?
How about we just put something else on it?
And the guy goes, yeah, because he didn't even hear that.
He goes, yeah, because he had Fox News on here once, and there were some problems.
People started physical with each other.
And it's like, that goes to show exactly what the mindset is.
CN was on.
He, who's a conservative, asked nicely if the channel could be changed.
When Fox News was on, people threw things at the television and punched people.
Like, that's the mindset.
That sums it up.
This immediate, violent, like, you can't discuss it.
You can't do anything.
You're immediately Hitler and need to be destroyed.
So I don't know.
It's so obvious that there's a difference.
When people go, oh, it's the same.
Everyone's the same.
The right and the left.
It's just the same.
It's like, no.
I've talked to a lot of people that are very polite in accepting other people's mindsets and ideas and other people that need to strike out and lash out the second they hear that you're a Trump supporter or a conservative.
There is a big difference.
And I think the left is just full of people that want to silence everyone.
And if you're not silent, they want to perpetrate violence against you.
Yeah, they think we're evil.
We just think they're wrong.
Well, reading the book, it's not just a story about a shock jock leaving his company and starting his own.
It's really a great book about the evolution of free speech.
And we see how speech has changed.
I mean, from the FCC back in your early days to the politically correct mobs today.
It's a book about free speech.
Yeah, it's so quaint to remember having to adhere to FCC rules and regulations.
It's nostalgic.
It's sweet.
We used to be scared of a government agency that regulated in such a gray area that you were able to circumnavigate it and tell people.
We would talk in a way where everyone knew what we were saying, whether it was some of the most heinous sexual acts, race, racial jokes.
It didn't matter because it was such a gray area of the First Amendment.
That's what it was.
And that was what protected us against.
So whenever you got an FCC complaint, there was always some way to argue your point.
You cannot argue with the mob.
No.
There is no gray area.
There is no recourse.
You are evil.
You are an iss or a phobe, and you must be destroyed.
At least with the FCC, you had the First Amendment to fight with, and it was a powerful weapon back then.
Now, not so much.
I don't think anyone worries about the FCC anymore.
They're worried about one that tweets something out of context, and the next thing you know, the pylon has happened, and you're out of a job, and people are at your house with pitchforks and torches.
Yeah.
Well, you've survived it many times, and it's an inspiring story.
Thanks for coming on the show, Ann.
Thank you, Mr. McGinnis, and we'll see you soon.
Cheers.
She's got to be somebody's baby.
So Ryan and I have been on a psychic bender.
There's this guy, Randy.
He's got a movie out, actually.
I forget what it's called, a documentary.
And he was big in the 90s, 80s, and he would go and refute psychics and pay them a million dollars if they could prove they were actually psychic.
And there's all these videos of these guys.
Like, there's a great video of Johnny Carson, Uri Geller's on there, and Johnny Carson, you know, gives him a real bona fide opportunity to prove his magical powers.
And believe it or not, he can't.
He doesn't feel strong right now.
But some of them are hilarious.
By the way, all psychics have weird hairdos.
I don't know why that is, but this guy can use his superpowers to turn the page of a book, But change a page?
This is how hard it is to turn a page.
I'm not looking for any magic powers.
You wasted your psychic powers on being a nerd.
Yeah, I hope you didn't sell your soul to the devil for that power.
I don't mind an eternity in hell.
I need to turn pages without touching them.
But anyway, check out this guy turning a page.
Turn the page of a telephone directory without touching it.
And you claim to have done that with psychic power.
Yes.
Now, you're prepared to wear hats.
Are you a pizza Lego?
Everything is awesome.
Very well.
And I like how he's wearing a whole kung fu suit to turn page.
If he can turn the page of the telephone directory.
Not really a good use of your martial arts skills.
You have the $10,000.
He's got $10,000 ready.
Yeah, that's it.
So he outsmarts him by putting these peanut, like these styrofoam peanuts all over the place.
So obviously this guy's probably got something literally up his sleeve where he squeezes it and it shoots air out and you can change the page because you didn't see him.
You saw he didn't go.
But when this guy does that, it's obviously going to blow these little things.
So he goes, no problem.
Let me get to work.
I wonder what he's thinking right now.
What am I going to say?
What the hell am I going to do now?
Okay, let me just get right on this.
And so his excuse is hilarious, but he still tries if he...
This is great television.
Okay, this is not.
How many pages?
Just one page.
Once.
Yeah, any page is there.
The styrophone and the lights form electricity, which pulls the page.
Look.
Look.
See, look.
No, that's gravity, my friend.
Look, see?
It's up here, and then I let go of it, it goes down.
So it's the lights.
It's down.
And the styrophone.
I can't even bear to watch that.
I know.
Sick.
Freeing the pages.
What an absolute clown.
Imagine you're his dad, and you're just sitting watching this show right now.
Oh, Peter, for crying a little bit.
And he did watch it.
Like, Dad, I'm going to be on TV.
Oh, yeah, but I'm just going to not watch that.
Completely humiliated on TV.
Holy moly.
And so when he was trying that for a minute, he was like, why did he try it if he knew that this city run away?
Or just faint?
Yeah, he probably should have pretended he had a heart attack.
Or pretend someone shot him.
I could only do it once a day.
Yeah, and you're done.
That's what Uri did.
He said, I don't feel strong right now.
Yeah, my hustle isn't going great.
All right, folks, we're way over time here, as per ush.
But if you are a psychic out there and you're taking advantage of people whose family just died and you're giving them hope that they spoke to a loved one or you're telling them you can help them with their cancer or other vicious lies, I want you to know that you're going to hell.
And maybe you should just sell your soul to the devil, get real magic powers, because you're already headed there anyway.
