Speaker Time Text
joe rogan
So this is the first one ever live.
It says offline.
Let's see.
There's probably a bit of a delay, right?
Just like YouTube or Ustream rather.
It says starting.
It says offline to me though.
Say offline to you.
unidentified
Oh, here we go.
joe rogan
Something's happening.
I see a spinning wheel.
Proud Mary keep on burning.
Big wheel keep on turning.
Nope.
Yes!
Success.
Steven Crowder, you are the first official broadcast streamed live on YouTube guest.
steven crowder
That's not a good sign.
joe rogan
It's a great sign.
Why is that bad?
steven crowder
Well, you're gonna get some monsters on YouTube.
Jufag makes appearances quite a bit when I appear.
I'm not Jewish or gay.
joe rogan
Does someone call you a Jufag?
steven crowder
All the time, yeah.
unidentified
Hmm.
steven crowder
Yeah, which is funny, because I'm not Jewish or gay.
My brother and I did a video when YouTube had just started.
It was 2006. So I don't know if you remember, there was a rash of really bad impression videos.
It would be like, I'm going to do 100 impressions, and it was some guy doing like Kermit the Frog.
Cartoons are not impressions.
You're just doing cartoon voices, like at a kid's party.
And so I did one where I did these impressions that were really mediocre.
But my brother was my Ed McMahon, and he was just laughing his ass off.
He just thought it was hilarious.
And then it goes on for like five minutes, and then I do a pretty spot-on Harrison Ford impression.
My brother's like, you need to work on that one a little bit.
YouTube was new, uncensored, and it's like, you're a Jew fag, and I hope you get AIDS from that Jew fag, not realizing he's my brother.
My brother's not Jewish either.
And there were people who hated it because they thought the impressions were awful.
There were people who hated it because they got the joke, and they felt like they'd been shortchanged.
And there were people who liked it because they got the joke, and there were people who liked it because for some reason they thought the impressions were good, and they were all fighting, and we were going...
What is this?
joe rogan
Monsters!
But you do realize that you're feeding those monsters by bringing up their actual name, like saying all that stuff.
Like you're giving them the attention that they so desperately seek.
steven crowder
Is that like poltergeist?
Yes.
joe rogan
Like Candyman.
steven crowder
Candyman!
unidentified
Candyman!
steven crowder
That's a horrible film.
When you go back and watch it, it's not good at all.
It's like one of those things you watch when you're a kid and you're scared and you go back and you're like, no, no, trust me, let's watch this.
You watch it with your girlfriend and you just wish you would have left it there.
joe rogan
Yeah.
Do you know what the one did that to me is Altered States.
steven crowder
I didn't see Altered States.
joe rogan
It was so good.
Well, it was what got me into isolation tanks.
I was fascinated by it.
That's what got me into it.
It got me into John Lilly.
The whole movie was actually based on this one guy.
Not obviously.
He didn't really turn into a monkey.
Do you remember the movie?
The William Hurt movie?
steven crowder
I don't remember the film.
joe rogan
He got a hold of some crazy psychedelic brew from the Amazon jungle and took it and brought it back to America and had these experiences where he regressed into some monkey beast thing.
And he went to the zoo and killed a bunch of animals.
Yeah, like he had like the change.
But when you, you know, I was watching it.
steven crowder
What was that?
joe rogan
That's the noise.
Like Larry Flint came in?
Is that Larry Flint?
Trying to push his wheelchair.
I watched it when I was like 15 or something like that.
I was in high school, and I was like, whoa, this is so cool.
And then I watched it again when I was like 39, and I was like, oh, this is such a piece of shit.
steven crowder
That happened with me like two weeks ago with my wife, and I feel ashamed.
Ninja Turtles.
Because I was up late, and I'm on Netflix, and I'm watching Megan Fox, Ninja Turtles.
My wife's like, this is terrible.
I go, no, you don't know Ninja Turtles, because at one point it was actually a good film, and I take it back, and I watch it, and I'm like...
Let's try Ninja Turtles 2, and it just gets worse.
joe rogan
Well, you know, the shit that's good when you're little, and it's still good when you're little, but when you're not little, it's not good.
Like, I took my kids to see this, uh, there's a show called Wild Kratts.
steven crowder
Yeah, well, I worked with PBS. They'd come in every now and then.
joe rogan
Oh, yeah?
Okay.
steven crowder
And Arthur was my first gig.
joe rogan
It's a very good show.
The show is very good.
Like, the television show.
steven crowder
The live show is terrible.
unidentified
Oh!
steven crowder
It's like a museum where you just see a video display kind of deal.
Isn't it like that?
joe rogan
No, it's worse than that.
It's way worse than that.
But meanwhile, my five-year-old fucking loved it.
Like, I took her to see it.
It was at the Pantages in Hollywood.
unidentified
Okay.
joe rogan
And they put on these suits.
Like, in the show, there's this...
What the show's about, it's an educational show, for people who don't know, that is all about wildlife.
And kids learn a lot of stuff.
steven crowder
We used to be Zabumafu.
unidentified
Zabumafu?
steven crowder
It was Zabumafu!
It was a jumping lemur.
With the Kratz brothers.
joe rogan
Yeah.
steven crowder
And nothing like an actual lemur.
joe rogan
No.
steven crowder
Very inaccurate.
unidentified
Yes.
steven crowder
They can be aggressive.
joe rogan
Actual lemurs can be aggressive.
steven crowder
Yes, actual lemurs.
So you know some kid went to the zoo and was like, this is a bum-a-foo, and just got his face torn off by a monkey on red wine and Xanax.
joe rogan
But the show, like, my five-year-old learns all kinds of shit from it because, like, she'll say, you know, Daddy, did you know that alligators, or crocodiles, I think it is, they decide whether or not they're male or female based on the temperature of the water.
I'm like, fuck, is that true?
And so I Google it, I'm like, holy shit, my five-year-old just schooled me on crocodile, the gendered assignment.
steven crowder
I think if we're being honest with ourselves, your five-year-old would probably school you on the difference between an alligator and a crocodile, because I'm still murky on it.
joe rogan
I'm pretty clear on that one.
steven crowder
Every time I get, you know, I was like, oh, those crocodiles, it goes by the snouts.
One of them is rounder, right?
joe rogan
Yeah, alligators.
steven crowder
I know Steve Irwin has a lot of respect for the American alligator.
joe rogan
Steve Irwin did?
steven crowder
Yeah, he was a crocodile hunter, but I remember when he got around some gators, he was like, these guys are serious.
joe rogan
Well, actually, alligators are not nearly as aggressive as crocodiles.
Crocodiles are way more dangerous.
steven crowder
That's factually inaccurate.
joe rogan
It's the opposite.
American alligators are smaller than crocodiles, like Nile crocs.
These fucking douchebags.
Some people have released Nile crocodiles in Florida, so they found a few of them in the Everglades.
So they have a seek and destroy mission.
Like if you see Nile crocodile game wardens, everyone is supposed to kill it on sight.
steven crowder
That happened in Michigan with those...
Lampreys.
You ever seen those?
joe rogan
Yeah.
steven crowder
And actually, as a matter of fact, I think you've done her show, Dana Lash and her husband, they were coming up to my wedding up there.
joe rogan
Yeah.
steven crowder
And he was like, I'm not going up there.
They got lampreys in the lake.
I'm like, they have no sharks.
They have no stingrays.
You have lampreys.
It's scary.
It's got like a mouthful of teeth.
joe rogan
They're cool.
They're like aliens.
steven crowder
Yeah, but they're not pleasant to be in the water with.
But they've exterminated like, I think, 90-something percent of them.
But it's that 10-something percent that you still have to worry about up there in the Great Lakes.
joe rogan
Yeah, well, there's a bunch of invasive species from other countries that they've done that with.
Those Asian carp, that's one of them.
If you haven't seen that, folks, you gotta Google it because it's the craziest fucking thing.
There's YouTube videos.
For whatever reason, when you ride boats, they jump out of the water and they have knocked people dead.
Like, knocked people out cold.
They jump out of the water.
steven crowder
Have people actually died from Asian carp?
joe rogan
I bet people have died because I know people have been knocked out cold.
I know personally- Well, there's a lot of weight.
Oh, yeah, yeah, they're like 30 pounds and they're fucking jumping in the air and hitting you in the head.
steven crowder
Well, mako sharks will do that, you know.
joe rogan
Really?
steven crowder
Yeah, mako sharks can get, I mean, maybe you can bring it up, like, I want to say 60 miles an hour, something absurd, and they'll go right into boats.
joe rogan
Whoa.
steven crowder
Yeah, mako sharks.
joe rogan
So they just slam into boats, but they don't fly in the air?
steven crowder
No, no, no, they get on fishing boats, yeah, they'll actually, like, because they're just going so fast, and I think they're coming for the bait.
You can find videos if you bring them up.
joe rogan
Have you ever seen a video of the kayakers that get fucking swamped by the whale?
The whale breeches?
steven crowder
I've read Moby Dick.
joe rogan
No, this is a real one.
steven crowder
This is a real one?
joe rogan
This is a real one, yeah.
See if you can find that.
The whale swamps some kayakers.
Yeah, these fucking poor fools are out in a kayak, go, I love whales!
It's amazing to be in this environment!
unidentified
When you're around nature, it just makes you feel so wonderful.
joe rogan
They care about us.
They look, this fucking whale just...
These poor fuckers just get scared.
steven crowder
Well, I was in Florida.
Oh, is it?
Where do I go?
This way, this way?
unidentified
Anyone.
joe rogan
It doesn't matter.
Watch this.
steven crowder
Oh my gosh.
Kill them all.
joe rogan
Oh, you fucked up, son.
steven crowder
Kill them all.
That's one thing I talked about.
I remember, and I got someone really mad in stand-up a bit about sharks.
joe rogan
I was like, I- Watch this, watch this a close-up.
Oh, Jesus fucking Christ!
Oh, gosh.
I mean, that's gotta weigh, what, 10,000 pounds?
steven crowder
Well, were they dead, or did they just kind of move with it because it's water?
I mean, if that happened to the land, you're dead.
joe rogan
Yeah, I would assume they just move with it.
I mean, they probably got fucked.
The real scary thing is if you get knocked unconscious by the blow, and then you go, look at, that's the impact of it.
Oh my gosh.
Fucker!
steven crowder
Was it a hunchback?
What do we know?
joe rogan
I don't know.
Oh, it looks like they're okay.
Have you ever seen whales in real life?
unidentified
Oh, there they are.
They're fine.
steven crowder
I've seen dolphins.
I don't think I've seen whales.
joe rogan
I've seen whales.
unidentified
I went on...
joe rogan
One of the things...
My daughter had this school thing where you go over to Zuma, Zuma Beach, like somewhere around November, I think.
They start...
And it's...
You don't even believe what you're seeing.
steven crowder
Right.
joe rogan
You see them in the water, you're like...
That's a fucking, that's a real whale?
steven crowder
Yeah.
joe rogan
Like, you see them and you're like, oh my.
I guess it's like when you see them on TV, you go, yeah, they're big.
I get it.
But when you see them in real life and you get a perspective, you're like, oh my god.
They're just living out there.
steven crowder
Well, it's like Lena Dunham.
You see her in the pictures and you know it's bad.
And then you see her in context next to someone.
I see what you just did.
You see what I did there?
It's okay.
She blocked me quickly without me ever even tweeting her.
One thing I will say, we were in Florida.
joe rogan
She blocked you because of that video that you made?
Is that what it was?
steven crowder
No, she brought me along before that video.
joe rogan
Really?
steven crowder
I get blocked by people before I even talk to them.
joe rogan
I do too.
Sometimes I'm proud of it.
steven crowder
Well, a lot of them are comedians too.
joe rogan
Comedians block you?
Get the fuck out of here.
What comedians have blocked you?
steven crowder
Amy Schumer, Mark Maron.
I never tweeted them.
joe rogan
What?
steven crowder
Amy Schumer and I got in an argument on Fox News a long time ago.
joe rogan
About what?
steven crowder
About a column I wrote, and we got into it, and I was like, okay.
And it was actually pretty respectful, but it happens with a lot of comedians, a lot of comics.
joe rogan
Well, what was the column about?
steven crowder
The column was about how, as a Christian, how I wasn't having sex, and wrote about sort of the case for Christians who maybe aren't crazy, who wait until they're married.
And she's like, I feel like it's really judgmental and really harsh.
And I was like, okay, well, that's fine.
This is my case, and you don't have to do it.
She got really, really mad about it.
joe rogan
You know what's interesting is if you were like a tantric Buddhist.
steven crowder
That's exactly what I said.
joe rogan
Did you really say that?
steven crowder
Yeah, I talked about that, and right away off air, the first thing, and it's the same thing with Maren, who I like, is, well, you're not part of our club.
Are you a comedian?
joe rogan
He does that, though.
He did that with me.
He's got this weird thing.
unidentified
Well, that was Schumer right before.
steven crowder
She goes, well, where do you perform stand-up?
Do you perform in the city?
At this point, I was living in New York.
I was like, no.
She goes, where do you perform?
Like, you're a Christian?
Like, churches?
And I said, no, actually, but that sounded like a great idea.
So then after that, I started calling up churches, like, do you do stand-up?
And there was one that responded, yes.
And then they complained, and I never did another church again.
Because I had a whole bit about not having sex, and the bit I wrote was that it's the final taboo.
Like, I can go up and be as profane as possible, right?
And I follow comedians, or I'll go up and it's filthy, and my act is very politically incorrect.
Like, I've been banned from places, but it's not dirty.
And I said, then I go up and talk about not having sex, and everyone gets so uncomfortable.
The church problem was that I talked about having a raging erection for four years where my family had to lift the furniture like a Great Dane's Tale.
So the church has had a problem with it.
joe rogan
So you did this for years?
You didn't have sex?
steven crowder
Yeah, for years.
joe rogan
Why'd you do that?
steven crowder
Because I didn't want to be a hypocrite.
joe rogan
In what way?
steven crowder
Well, as someone who is a Christian, I don't really talk about it a lot, but I was like, you know what, I don't want to be a target that easily as far as being a hypocrite.
And that's why I did it.
joe rogan
So sex, like, there's a lot of really...
steven crowder
We got right off the bat.
joe rogan
Yeah, because it's a wacky subject.
You know, like as a discipline, like there's some beautiful things about Christianity as a discipline, but the problem is as a practice, if you really pay attention to the scriptures themselves, it's so problematic.
There's so many contradictions, there's so much crazy shit in there.
steven crowder
Yeah.
joe rogan
Are you going on the Old Testament?
Well, if that's the case, you're talking about some really nutty shit.
If you're going on the New Testament, you're talking about some...
steven crowder
I don't want to get off in the weeds and this right off the bat.
joe rogan
But you know what I'm saying.
steven crowder
I understand.
joe rogan
The New Testament, you're talking about things that are created by Constantine.
steven crowder
Right.
joe rogan
A bunch of, you know, the canon was really manufactured.
He wasn't even a Christian.
steven crowder
Here's my issue.
joe rogan
He was on his deathbed.
steven crowder
I don't talk about it a lot.
I'll write about it, because it's a big part of what defines me.
Like, we had Harrison Greenbaum on, and, you know, Norm Macdonald, Harrison Greenbaum went up and he did this bit about, you know, someone read me a scripture from a book, you know, on the bus, and I said, well, if you get to quote your favorite book, I get to quote mine.
Harry Potter, bitch!
And he came on, and he was really- Who is he?
Harrison Greenbaum.
He was on The Last Comic Standing.
joe rogan
I didn't watch it.
steven crowder
Anyways, he was on the show.
He said he knew you.
I had him on, and he was really mad that I wrote gay comic gets sort of shafted by norm.
And he was like, well, you know, first off, you used gay pejoratively.
I said, yes.
He goes, well, okay, so you know what that means?
I said, sure.
You're a comedian, right?
Like, why is that a problem?
He goes, well, you know, first of all, you just didn't use it pejoratively, and you didn't even ask me.
I said, well, are you gay?
He goes, no.
And I said, okay, I'll take your word for it, but I don't believe you, but let's just continue with the interview.
And then afterwards, I was like, you know, the fact is, even if you're not gay, you make this Christian joke, but you don't touch Islam at all.
And I know you claim you're straight, but they would throw you off a roof for your lisp.
And the thing with Norm was he went out and he did this bit about the Bible, and you have Roseanne Barr...
On Last Comic Standing.
And my commentary was just that Norm said, I didn't think it was accurate.
I didn't think it was funny at all.
I didn't think it was risky.
I thought it was very safe.
And if you're going to insult an entire group of people who know about the faith, you should probably know what you're talking about.
That was it.
unidentified
Right.
steven crowder
And he was so upset.
And he was like, he was going, well, the audience was actually booing Norm.
And I go, well, you're missing the point of the piece.
It's that everyone was upset at Norm saying that.
And Roseanne Barr is telling her, that's some risky shit!
When he made a Bible joke.
And Norm was just pointing out, it's really not that risky.
joe rogan
Well, what was the joke?
Do you remember?
steven crowder
It was the guy quoting scripture.
He said, well, I get to quote my favorite book, Harry Potter, bitch.
joe rogan
Yeah, that's not that risky.
steven crowder
He's not gay.
joe rogan
Well, he's gay as fuck.
If he sounds anything like your voice, what is his name?
Can I look at him?
steven crowder
Harrison Greenbaum.
joe rogan
Pull him up on the screen, Jamie.
steven crowder
You're going to bring up our interview with him.
joe rogan
I will tell you by looking.
I have that gift.
steven crowder
That's true gaydar.
joe rogan
I got that gift from Jesus.
steven crowder
Wait, did you look at him?
joe rogan
I can look at someone and find out if they're gay.
steven crowder
Well, that's not gaydar.
joe rogan
It's a gift.
It's a biblical gift.
Or a divine gift.
steven crowder
My friend David Pride says that's homo-vision.
joe rogan
Well, he should go on TV and say that.
steven crowder
Yeah, he'll do well.
joe rogan
Okay, that guy's not gay?
steven crowder
Well, you can't go buy a picture.
joe rogan
Yes, I can.
Just like that.
The sweater with the white shirt underneath the sweater.
unidentified
That's not fair.
steven crowder
He's a nice guy.
To be fair, I was making the point.
joe rogan
I don't think there's anything wrong with being gay.
steven crowder
My point was he got mad and he didn't want me to take him out of context.
So I said, okay, we'll do a pre-tape.
We have to do two segments for Aaron.
We did like a three-hour thing on it.
joe rogan
Where was this interview being held?
steven crowder
It was my show.
Oh, your show.
unidentified
Okay.
joe rogan
So he came on your show.
steven crowder
Yeah.
joe rogan
All right.
steven crowder
I'm going to slip in a request for you to go on.
You can obviously say no.
joe rogan
No, I'd do it.
steven crowder
Sure.
We know we go terrestrially.
Actually, we're going into syndication here with Alex Jones's same guys at Genesis.
Doesn't mean I agree with Alex and a whole bunch.
So we kind of have the show that's syndicated terrestrially, and then we do extended versions for the podcast.
So we're kind of bridging that gap.
joe rogan
Well, Alex is the exact opposite of you in the sense of Alex is not having sex for any reason whatsoever.
steven crowder
I'm married, though.
It's great.
joe rogan
He's a fucking animal.
He's a crazy dude.
People go, why are you friends with Alex Jones?
I go, I'm friends with Alex Jones because I'm friends with Alex Jones.
What you're getting is Alex Jones on Infowars.com.
unidentified
What they're doing right now is trying to take away life!
joe rogan
They want to wipe out America!
steven crowder
Do you do impressions in your act or do you find it hard to bring them in?
joe rogan
I very rarely do.
steven crowder
It feels hacked to bring them in and stand up usually, doesn't it?
joe rogan
Well, unless there's a reason to do it.
If I have to do a Mike Tyson bit, if there's something that happens to Mike Tyson and I've got a bit, well you saw it from like 1991, there's something that's online, but if there's a reason to do a voice, I'll do it.
Like if I had a Bill Cosby bit, I would do Bill Cosby's voice.
steven crowder
We do what we do on the podcast.
So we do fake commercials.
We do like dating advice with Bill Cosby, News Minute in the nick of time with Nick Nolte.
So it's like, the internet is actually, it's funny, we're talking about this.
When I started stand-up, I started acting actually when I was 12. And then I did stand-up because the unions killed the industry in Montreal.
There was just no more film coming into the city.
You know, they used to shoot a ton of stuff in Montreal, now not so much.
And so I was in my teens, and I had been writing stand-up for years for, like, school talent shows.
Like, I think this would be funny, because I grew up around it.
And I thought it was so freeing to do it.
And then it's kind of turned, like you were talking about this PC culture, where I think, and I was sort of wrong, in a sense, I was like, these kids online, they're not comedians, they don't know what it's like.
But I think about it, you know, that's what the Marx Brothers would have said as stand-up.
It's just an evolution of comedy.
And you can't do stand-up in your bedroom, but you can do YouTube in your bedroom.
And so you look at Nicole Arbor, this thing.
I don't know if you saw.
She did the fat shaming thing.
joe rogan
Yes, I did see that.
steven crowder
And I didn't think it was particularly funny, but I defended her right to say it.
But I was saying it doesn't matter if she's funny or not, because people will always attack you for not being funny.
They're not going to say that's offensive, you can't say it.
They'll say, well, you're just not funny, so you shouldn't be able to say that.
And the PC culture has really permeated stand-up in a way that's...
I mean, it happened in Canada years ago.
Freedom of speech doesn't really exist in Canada.
It's not a legally protected right.
joe rogan
Well, you know about the guy in Vancouver who literally got sued and lost because he had some woman heckling him and he said a bunch of mean shit to her.
And so he, whatever human rights violation, I forget what the actual citation was, but he has to pay her like $15,000.
steven crowder
Well, there's a pastor, Stephen Boisson, who said he wouldn't marry two guys and spoke out against it and wasn't hateful.
You know, everyone loves to paint the pastors, the Southern...
They're damn homos!
And he was just like, well, listen, that's not going to happen to my church.
And he was actually banned from public speaking, lost his church, had to file an appeal.
And so that's where, when I talk with people about it...
joe rogan
Banned from public speaking by saying that he doesn't want to marry two gay guys.
steven crowder
And saying it's still against God's...
You know, whatever his deal is.
Whether you agree with it or not, that's my point.
It's still not okay to ban a guy from even having a church.
I mean, Westboro Baptists have 12 people, nine of whom are the guy's family.
They get so much press time.
Meanwhile, we have over 300 million Muslims who want you to die for converting, and we're talking about the Westboro Baptists because they use the F word.
joe rogan
Well, it's fun.
unidentified
It is fun.
joe rogan
That's one of the reasons why the Westboro Baptist Church...
I mean, that guy, Phelps, was so fucking nuts.
He was so out of his...
Did you ever see the Louis Theroux documentary?
unidentified
Yeah, I did.
steven crowder
Were they asking if he's Jewish?
joe rogan
Holy shit!
steven crowder
He's like, well, I don't think it should matter.
But are you Jew?
I'm not saying I am Jewish, but I don't understand why that should...
That's not relevant.
Are you Jew?
That was all they...
It was like the guy on YouTube.
And they were doing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu!
Do you remember that?
joe rogan
I don't remember that.
steven crowder
Yeah, the white supremacists...
joe rogan
Why do I not remember that?
steven crowder
They were training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and I was like, do you not see the irony?
They were training MMA, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
Wait, no, wait, no, I'm thinking of a different one with Theroux on white supremacy.
Oh, okay.
He did a white supremacist one.
joe rogan
I didn't see that one.
steven crowder
And they were, like, training up their gang, and they were doing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
joe rogan
Well, that's pretty ironic.
Brazilians are not white, you fuck.
Well, they kind of are.
Some of them are.
steven crowder
Well, they're the most racist people on the planet.
joe rogan
Brazilians?
steven crowder
Oh, my God.
joe rogan
Well, I wouldn't say they're racist.
What I would say is that they're nationalistic.
They're very nationalistic.
But they're not in the sense because half the country is black.
Half the country is African.
steven crowder
Well, I don't know if you really sort of...
Not to get into your wheelhouse, but like the Vitor Belfour Anderson Silva thing.
If you look at a lot of the stuff like on the Brazilian message boards that people were saying, it was really like this sort of coming up of this black class in Brazil, where if you were black, you worked at McDonald's, you just weren't considered a first-class citizen among a lot of the pure Brazilians.
People don't even understand about Che Guevara.
In Cuba, same kind of thing.
You know, I saw a kid wearing a Che Guevara shirt.
I go, well, why don't you just wear a Hitler shirt?
Well, what do you mean?
He believed in pure European Spanish blood and executed people for not being that.
And in Brazil, there really is a class structure.
I mean, my Brazilian instructor, I won't say who I've had several, was...
Quite racist.
Here in America, you can play for the fight.
The guy is white, black.
In Brazil, he's not even give time of day.
joe rogan
That's weird because Jacare is like a Brazilian national hero and he's black.
steven crowder
Yeah, but they're outliers.
joe rogan
What about Pele, the soccer player?
He was a Brazilian national hero.
He's black.
steven crowder
My evidence is anecdotal, Joe.
joe rogan
No, it is true.
I've been to Brazil many times.
I just don't see that.
I mean, I might be wrong.
You know, there was a huge issue with Anderson Silva when he fought Damien Maia.
Yeah.
steven crowder
He was a sort of bourgeoisie class.
Damien Maia had college.
joe rogan
He was a reporter.
He called him Playboy.
steven crowder
Yeah.
joe rogan
You know, and Playboy is like one of the ways that they, that's the pejorative they use for rich, privileged white people.
steven crowder
Right.
joe rogan
You know, Playboy.
unidentified
That's a Brazilian saying, check your privilege!
joe rogan
Check your privilege, my friend.
steven crowder
My friend.
unidentified
I check for you.
joe rogan
I don't know.
I would have to...
I never actually asked my Brazilian friends whether or not Brazil's racist, but I didn't experience it that much when I was there.
They seem real friendly.
It's a very, very friendly country, other than the robberies and stuff.
steven crowder
You do have to understand, like, you know, success has changed how people treat you.
You're very successful.
You're a victim of your own success in the sense that...
joe rogan
In a sense.
steven crowder
I came in here nervous.
joe rogan
Well, they also know that I'm a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt, so I practice Brazilian arts, you know, so I have a big deep respect for Brazil.
steven crowder
Right.
joe rogan
And then a big deep respect for, of course, the Gracie family.
I mean, I'm wearing a fucking Gracie t-shirt.
unidentified
Yeah, I know.
joe rogan
The Gracie family.
You look good in it.
steven crowder
Not gay!
joe rogan
Thank you.
Thank you.
steven crowder
Not gay!
joe rogan
Not gay either.
steven crowder
Harry Potter, bitch!
joe rogan
It is weird, though, that there's not a straight voice, you know?
But there's a gay voice.
steven crowder
Well, yeah, and what's so funny, it's like you say that my wife had a friend.
I won't talk about it.
joe rogan
Talk about it.
You don't have to name names.
steven crowder
Who is clearly gay.
joe rogan
Oh, I gotta go like that.
steven crowder
Like, clearly gay, to the point where when he was gone, I would call him Gay Blank, because I know it's such a common name.
My wife is just free.
I'm gonna get a text right now.
joe rogan
Uh-oh.
steven crowder
So she'd be like, I was out with so-and-so.
And I'm like, gay so-and-so?
Because I know five of them.
You know, it's just like, it's like a name like John.
It's not John.
joe rogan
Okay.
steven crowder
And she'd be like, he's not gay.
Okay.
First off, let me clarify the rules.
If he's not gay, you can't go out with him alone until one in the morning.
Okay, he's gay.
And then sure enough, he came out of the closet.
joe rogan
Shocker.
steven crowder
Well, here's the thing.
When a guy like that, and I mean literally, he's the kind of gay guy who literally, like Richard Simmons would be like, that's kind of severe, like really gay.
And when he came out of the closet, I told my wife, I said, okay, here's what's going on.
What he's really saying is stuff's about to get weird.
You're going to find some Grindr profiles, like, because everyone knew he was gay.
joe rogan
Right.
steven crowder
And then all of a sudden it's just a revolving door, you know, of boyfriends, and it's like, it's more uncomfortable for my wife.
It's more comfortable for me, because I had to keep this lie alive, like, hey, you go on any dates with females lately, Gabe?
Like, now, you know, and he dated a girl for a while.
And I remember just sitting there like, what bunny hole did I jump into where I'm sitting at dinner with my wife and gay blank with this girl and they're clearly just faking it.
joe rogan
And I was like, I just rather- Was the girl faking it or did she think that maybe he was straight?
steven crowder
That's the million dollar question.
joe rogan
I have a friend, my friend Shayma Tosh, she's a stand-up comedian.
She's married not one, but two different guys that turned out to be gay.
Like, she married him- At a certain point it's you.
I don't know if it's her.
I mean, I don't know what the fuck it is.
She seems so normal, though.
I mean, she's a comic.
She's kind of crazy, but she's nice.
She seems totally normal.
steven crowder
I've not met a bunch of stable female comedians.
joe rogan
I know a few.
Well, it's weird, because it's like, in my world, you know, like, in my world.
In the world of stand-up.
steven crowder
In my world, Sonny.
My patriarchal world.
unidentified
The sun sets on the west and rises in the east.
joe rogan
It's...
Actually, it does that, right?
Yeah, I reversed it.
steven crowder
That was accurate.
joe rogan
Yeah, it was accurate.
unidentified
My world's boring, frankly.
joe rogan
But the world of stand-up comics, it's like it's a fraternity, you know?
So, like, I'm friends with girls who are open micers.
I'm friends with, like, especially from Kill Tony, which is one of my friend Red Band and Tony Hinchcliffe's shows, where we constantly are around these open-miker kids that are coming up, and, you know, we become friends with them, and a lot of them are out of their fucking mind.
They're crazy, but they're friends, you know?
In my world, that's just the mindset that it takes to be a comedian.
You have to be a little bit fucking crazy.
steven crowder
Yeah, I think that's true.
joe rogan
I just think so.
So, Shayma is no different than any of my other friends, in that sense, but somehow or another, she wound up with two fucking gay guys.
And the last time I talked to her...
steven crowder
I don't think that story goes somehow or another.
I think there's a reason in there.
joe rogan
I think in her mind it's somehow or another.
unidentified
Okay.
joe rogan
She's like, what the fuck?
But, you know, she's dated straight guys.
She dated one of my buddies.
I mean, you know, it's not that.
I don't know what the fuck it is.
But she dated one guy...
And then she found out somehow or another he was gay.
And then she dated another guy that was like a male stripper, I think, and somehow or another he was doing some gay shit.
steven crowder
Well, there you go.
It's kind of like the talent pool with college sports.
You're picking the guy with the highest vertical.
She's drawn from the pool of the male strippers and the guys who are, you know, pay for gay bodybuilders.
That's what's going to happen.
joe rogan
Pay for gay body...
Gay for pay.
steven crowder
Did I say pay for...
Well, it depends on who's doing the paying.
Joe Weider with Arnold, he's the one who's paying for the gay.
joe rogan
Is that true?
steven crowder
I have no idea.
I don't want to be slandered.
joe rogan
Is that what you heard?
You heard Joe Weider paid Arnold?
I didn't hear that.
I heard that Arnold did some gay shit back in the day.
steven crowder
I could be completely off base.
joe rogan
Well, I've talked about it on the podcast.
I had a buddy who was a male stripper.
Two buddies way back in the day.
And he would wear these underwear that was like an elephant underwear.
And he put his hog in the trunk.
unidentified
I love how you combine hog with elephant underwear.
steven crowder
There's one animal and another.
It's actually like a delicacy, really.
joe rogan
The guy was really fucking weird.
But then one day, he was talking about all these girls that he's dancing for, and I go, you ever have to dance for guys?
And there's this fucking dead silence in the room, and everybody's like, oh shit, he said it.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
He asked the question and then shit got weird when he started explaining how he had to sometimes, but he hated it.
steven crowder
When I moved to LA, there was work and it was cleaning.
When I moved to LA, Tony Camacho was my manager and I was living out of a car for a bit.
And when I say it, it's kind of like the Ronda house.
It was like a week and I was just sort of couch surfing until I got to my next place.
So it's not like I was a longtime hobo and actually got a 24-hour fitness pass for like a week.
So I was fine.
I don't even know how I was getting started.
Something about...
Oh, when I first came to LA, yeah, there was a role in Craigslist, and it was like cleaning houses in your underwear.
It was like no contact, but you're just cleaning houses in your underwear.
It was like $150 an hour or something like that.
No, no, wait.
It was $50 an hour for a minimum of three-hour pay because it assumed, you know...
joe rogan
I lost something under the couch.
steven crowder
Yes.
Well, my dad had that.
He mowed lawns, and the guy at an Indian village in Detroit, and he would...
My dad can maybe text me the name of this guy, and he said the guy was like, but he wasn't flamboyantly gay.
He was very polite.
Like, well, you know, Darren, you're a good-looking young man, you and your brother Dean.
You should, as you mow lawn, you know, feel free.
It's hot here in the summer, too.
Take off your shirts and wear something a little bit shorter.
You know, if you want to take a dip in the pool, go ahead.
joe rogan
Oh, boy.
steven crowder
But he was very, very nice.
He had a light, long-term partner.
And, you know, I think a lot of them got massacred in Detroit.
I don't think they live in that area anymore.
joe rogan
Really?
Got massacred?
steven crowder
Well, I just mean Detroit.
It's a war zone.
joe rogan
Sounds like they're Indians.
Some sort of fucking Native American war.
steven crowder
Indigenous, Joe.
They came over and stole their land.
Get your stuff together, indigenous.
joe rogan
You can't say Indian anymore?
Is that a...
steven crowder
No, no, you not only can't say Indian, we moved on to Native American, and now we've moved on to indigenous.
joe rogan
Well, in Canada, it's indigenous, right?
First Nation, is that what they say?
unidentified
I don't know what they say.
joe rogan
I think they say First Nation.
steven crowder
I left Canada.
joe rogan
Well, it used to be, well, everybody called people Eskimo, and then...
steven crowder
No, you can't do that.
joe rogan
You can't, but in Alaska, they use the word Eskimo.
Like, it's okay.
Alaska, it's okay.
It's weird.
steven crowder
This is the problem with the lexicon and the changing rules.
joe rogan
Well, it's when people get ultra-super-fucking-sensitive and shit gets weird.
Like, there's things you used to say for the longest time, and now you can't say them anymore.
steven crowder
Yeah.
Well, and that's where, you know, you're more in the middle.
I'm, you know, people would say to the right of Attila the Hun, like, libertarian conservative.
And that's by design.
That's not an accident.
People want to control language.
If you look at the history of political correctness, it is designed as a political tool.
And I see these people awakening now, like the social justice warrior left.
Well, all they're doing is doing the same thing to, maybe they're not doing it to you, but to people like Milo, to people out there who are liberal, the same thing they've done to me and every conservative for a long time.
Just, you're a racist.
You're a sexist.
Perfect example is Ben Carson.
You may not like him.
People may not like him, right?
But Ben Carson was a neurosurgeon.
joe rogan
Not just a neurosurgeon.
unidentified
The best.
joe rogan
He was a fucking wizard.
steven crowder
And he's probably the most polite candidate we've had in 40 years.
I don't think anyone would dispute that.
He's a very polite guy.
What do they do?
They paint him as a dumbass bigot.
joe rogan
Well, he believes some crazy shit.
steven crowder
Some crazy stuff.
joe rogan
Yeah.
steven crowder
But I would hope that people afford him, you know, for example, like my dad is Christian conservative, right?
But he sends your stuff along.
Now, he could easily be like, oh, you know, he'll just tell them, like, skip through the edible mushroom stuff and the tattoos, because he doesn't agree with it.
But, like, Joe is really right on this, the part about dying to ego every day in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
And he'll send it along to people.
This is really inspirational.
In my family, we've never had to paint someone as an idiot because of some opinions with which we don't agree.
You may think Ben Carson believes some crazy stuff.
But he's a smart guy, and he's not a bigot.
joe rogan
Well, what I find fascinating about him is the people that do compartmentalize certain aspects of life, like that he does ignore science when it comes to evolution.
And he believes in macroevolution, but he doesn't believe in microevolution, I believe.
steven crowder
The other way around.
joe rogan
Micro, but not macro.
He's got some interesting ideas about what he believes and what he doesn't believe in that the world of science accepts as a stated fact.
steven crowder
Yeah, but I know a lot of people say, oh, he's this 6,000-year-old Young Earth creationist, you know, and he said, no, I'm not.
He just said he has flaws in the Big Bang, and he believes in a Big Bang, just a different version of it.
joe rogan
Well, the Big Bang.
steven crowder
But I don't think some guy in a Reddit thread in his mother's basement with a bag of Cheetos has figured something out that Ben Carson hasn't.
You asked me about, like, the Christian thing.
joe rogan
Well, you just diminished a person from Reddit.
You just put them in their basement.
Maybe they have a nice apartment.
steven crowder
Well, you get some of those.
You get a weird intersection here.
You get smart people who listen to your show, but you do get some closed-minded people.
My thing is, you know what?
The reason I don't talk about faith or like Donald Trump...
It's because there are certain things where people are just not going to hear it.
Here's my position on religion and atheism, and I don't think it's an untenable position.
And it's pretty simple.
I believe there are very smart atheists, and I believe that there are some very smart Christians.
joe rogan
That's undeniable.
It's undeniable.
steven crowder
Yeah, but the thing is now, the reason atheists are so fun to tease and get them up in a lather is because they think that all of these brilliant people and three billion people on the face of the earth have missed something that they caught because they saw half of a Christopher Hitchens debate.
And if you sit down with Ben Carson, these kids calling him an idiot and talking about how he doesn't know science, they would sit down and he'd probably school them.
They may not agree with him, but he'd probably school them.
And my problem is taking things out of context.
He's not even my guy.
joe rogan
Well, you see, the problem is you're talking about Ben Carson versus some kids that don't know what they're talking about.
steven crowder
Bernie Sanders or Hillary or O'Malley?
joe rogan
But what they're comparing Ben Carson to is people that do know what they're talking about.
So if you do get people that have a vast understanding of evolution, and they sit down and debate Ben Carson, he's not going to do very well.
steven crowder
I don't know.
I've not seen it.
I would think probably not, but I don't think he would put himself in that position.
joe rogan
The Big Bang is the weird one, because the Big Bang, essentially, no one understands why it happened.
No one understands what caused it.
No one understands if it's just some cycle that goes on every 14 billion years.
steven crowder
He's writing a book on it.
joe rogan
Who is?
Ben Carson?
On the Big Bang?
steven crowder
On explaining his reasoning.
joe rogan
Oh, that's interesting.
Well, what is his reasoning?
Do you know what his position is?
steven crowder
I don't know exactly what his position is.
It doesn't reflect my position.
But I don't think that that disqualifies him from being a better leader than a lot of people on the docket.
I mean, did you watch the debates last night?
joe rogan
No, I did not.
steven crowder
There was literally a point.
We're all the biggest argument.
And that's the thing that I have.
If you look at the right, I mean, you're moderate.
You would be considered to any leftist if you said the stuff they say.
They'd be like, oh, you're right wing.
That's what they would say.
Not you.
That's what they would say.
Let's compare really quickly.
Right now, the GOP, right?
People are like, it's a party of old white guys.
Okay, you've got Carly Fiorina, you've got two Latinos, and Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio, you've got a brain surgeon who's a black guy.
joe rogan
Ted Cruz is barely a Latino.
How dare you?
He's gay, by the way.
For sure.
100%.
steven crowder
He also is probably one of the smartest students to come out of Harvard, according to his professors, with an IQ that's, like, higher than MENSA. Because he blew them all, so they say that.
joe rogan
Yeah!
steven crowder
That must be it.
unidentified
That's what happened.
steven crowder
That and chemtrails.
I think, so you have them, Ben Carson.
You have people who are career politicians.
You have people with no experience in the political sector.
And then I'm watching last night, Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders, O'Malley, and a couple of other scrubs.
Every single one is an old white politician.
And the worst part is the lack of intellectual diversity.
Look at the GOP debate.
You have Rand Paul, who's a non-interventionist, basically, who's all about that cannabis oil.
You have Chris Christie, who basically wants to prosecute using drugs.
You have Carly Fiorina, who believes it's a state's right.
You have some people who supported the war in Iraq.
You have some people who were against it.
Every single question last night at that Democratic debate was answered in unison.
And the biggest argument was over who had the lowest rating from the NRA. They were attacking Bernie Sanders, going, keep in mind, you only have a D-minus from the NRA. I got an F! Is that really what they were arguing about?
joe rogan
Who said that?
steven crowder
It was O'Malley, Sanders, and Clinton.
All of them were arguing over who got the lowest rating of the NRA. That was their badge of honor.
You only got a D-minus.
unidentified
I got an F. I was like, what is this?
joe rogan
That's interesting because I did see an interview.
I wanted to get to the debate later today.
I didn't watch it yesterday.
I had some stuff I had to do that was actually important.
But Bernie Sanders was talking...
Just joking around.
Look, there's a real problem with the Commission for Presidential Debates.
A real problem with the fact that when it gets down to the big crunch time, the Commission for Presidential Debates is a privately funded institution.
It's not as simple as like everyone who's running for president gets an equal say and we have all these qualified candidates and we're just going to figure out who's the right guy for the job.
It takes a shitload of money to get to the point where you can actually run for a debate.
When you actually can get up there And actually have your opinion and broadcast it to the world.
There's a lot of fucking hoops you have to jump through.
Probably rightly so.
steven crowder
There's some value in that, yeah.
joe rogan
But I think that as time moves on and the medium of the internet becomes more and more powerful, most likely that will be less of a factor.
Having Anderson Cooper with his goofy glasses asking questions about whether or not it's okay to be a conscientious objector and still run for president.
Which is one of the things that apparently he asked Bernie Sanders, which I thought was fascinating.
steven crowder
Do black lives matter?
joe rogan
Or do all lives matter?
That one was like, okay.
steven crowder
Black lives matter!
joe rogan
Well, that's what Bernie said.
Well, fucking, of course all lives matter.
steven crowder
That's a loaded question, and it's a stupid question to answer.
They should say, that's a loaded question, and I'm not going to answer it.
Of course all lives matter, I understand the movement, and I think A, B, and C about it.
joe rogan
Yes, I agree with you.
That's the right way to say it, but he said black lives matter because that's the progressive left-wing thing to say because you're not gonna get shit from white people about it, but you'll get a lot of brownie points from black people.
steven crowder
You might get crap from Sean King who's a white guy about it.
joe rogan
Sean King is a white guy, isn't he?
steven crowder
Well, I was kicked out of that Feminist Film Festival for saying he was white.
They have rubber-titted, tranny, menstruating Jesus Christ.
joe rogan
I saw that.
steven crowder
And I've got, like, it doesn't bother.
I find it funny.
But they're triggered by me saying Sean King is white.
joe rogan
That was one of my favorite videos of yours.
That and Alina Dunham video.
But that video particularly of you with the feminists.
Because first of all, you're being very reasonable.
And they got upset right away.
They were getting upset.
You weren't being aggressive.
You weren't being rude.
You were asking really pretty reasonable questions.
And they're like, you have to leave.
steven crowder
Full disclosure, I was being a disturber.
I don't deny that.
joe rogan
A little bit.
steven crowder
You selectively edited it.
Anything you've ever watched is edited.
Well, what are you gonna do?
joe rogan
Put all fucking three hours of whatever the fuck you were there online?
steven crowder
Well, that's what, like, James O'Keefe or Andrew Breitbart of the Planned Parenthood videos do because they're journalists.
What I do is entertainment.
But they'll actually put up the full footage.
joe rogan
See, I don't know what the fuck those Planned Parenthood...
I didn't...
I watched part of it and I was like, is this real?
Like, what's going on with this?
steven crowder
Yeah.
joe rogan
Are these people really talking like this about fetus parts?
steven crowder
Yeah, you can watch the full footage.
You can watch three, four hours.
And the big thing, the attack, you know, and Carly Fiorina for talking about it, they go, well, it didn't really happen in a video.
Listen, she has 30 seconds.
She's talking about pieces in the video that you can see, and she sets it in a narrative that she can answer in 30 seconds.
And they go, well, all those things didn't happen in that timeline in a video.
joe rogan
Well, educate me, because were they or were they not saying that we can get you intact fetuses, and then we can...
steven crowder
They were selling fetus parts.
joe rogan
Yeah, so they were, right?
unidentified
Yes.
joe rogan
So why is everybody saying that it's a hoax?
steven crowder
Well, why did they say the same thing, you know, with Andrew Breitbart, the acorn scandal?
joe rogan
Well, let's not get into that.
steven crowder
Well, no, it's important.
They attack the messenger.
That's what they do.
joe rogan
The acorn scandal was pretty fucking clear.
They were literally giving people advice on how to sell prostitution.
steven crowder
Yeah, but the left said the exact same thing.
The exact same thing.
They said it's dishonest, these are selectively edited, and their final argument was, when James O'Keefe appeared, and I'm not a journalist, so I just make a clue, like, that's why I don't release, it's designed to be funny, it's more in line with The Daily Show than something at Fox News or CNN. James O'Keefe went on Fox and Friends in a pimp jacket, like, promoting the videos.
And their argument was, he didn't go in dressed like a pimp in her dress.
They said they were pimps and prostitutes, but they didn't dress like that.
joe rogan
Well, how do you tell me how a pimp or a prostitute dresses?
Because I bet you're wrong.
steven crowder
I'm in the Black Lives Matter.
People get mad at me.
joe rogan
Listen, man.
steven crowder
I think they dress like Ben Carson with his pinstrap smoking jacket.
joe rogan
I was in Vegas once, and I was with a couple of my buddies, and we were at this bar, and it was a UFC night.
It was the night of the weigh-ins, so we went to the weigh-ins, and we were at the bar, and there was this girl who looked like a fucking executive at a Fortune 500 company.
I mean, she had a respectable business dress on, she had nice clothes on, a nice purse, and she was talking to me and all my friends, and I was like, something is fucking going on here.
steven crowder
Uh-oh.
joe rogan
And then, I don't know what it was, but my friends were hitting on her and all this, and she was just a little too receptive.
And I said, so I, it was just, my friends were ugly.
steven crowder
You have low confidence in your friends.
joe rogan
Well, they're savages.
You know, I mean, maybe she just wants to get guerrilla fucked by a bunch of savages.
But I was like, something's going on here.
So I go, how much is all this going to cost everybody?
And she goes, well, it depends how many guys.
And they all went, who?
And I go, yeah.
And then they went, how'd you know?
And I go, well, I'm guessing some insincerity here.
She's working.
You're working, right?
And she goes, yeah, I'm working.
And I go, okay.
And then they were like, damn.
I go, you thought she liked you?
And then everybody starts laughing.
I go, well, if you look at her, she looks like she could be an executive for like a Mandalay Bay.
Like she could be there like, is everybody enjoying their stay here at Mandalay Bay?
Anybody want their cocksucked for a thousand dollars?
steven crowder
You learned to pick up on that growing up in Montreal like I did.
joe rogan
Oh, really?
steven crowder
Well, I mean, it's everywhere.
joe rogan
Well, how do they dress?
steven crowder
Well, I mean, usually when someone approaches you...
Can you tell how they dress?
No, I can't tell how they dress.
I'm not talking about pimps or prostitutes.
I'm saying the guy went out in a giant feathered purple coat and a fedora on the show and a cane as a gag, right?
joe rogan
That's like pimps up, hose down.
unidentified
Right.
steven crowder
And so the left goes, well, he didn't do that in the Acorn video, so this is misleading.
joe rogan
Okay, so what is the argument against the Planned Parenthood video?
What are they saying?
steven crowder
They're doing something that's illegal.
joe rogan
In recording?
steven crowder
Which is selling baby parts.
joe rogan
Right, right.
But what is the argument against the video, I'm saying?
That they selectively edited it.
steven crowder
So they said they selectively edited it, and then it didn't appear in the video.
And then when the full video footage was released, the arguments that I saw was, well, no one's going to watch 12 hours of footage 12 hours is not that much if you want to get to the truth of something that's really important.
Right.
Yeah, but that's the whole point.
So if you selectively edit it, they say you edited it.
If you put up the full footage, you're like, well, you're hiding behind the fact that you know no one's going to watch that.
joe rogan
Okay, but if someone does watch the full 12 hours, does it appear like it did in the edited video?
Because I watched the edited video.
And I thought, like, whoa, this is kind of crazy.
They're talking about it like...
How did she describe it as, like, line items?
steven crowder
Yes.
joe rogan
And I was like, fuck, man.
That seems, like, really inhuman.
You're talking about fetus parts and that they can adjust their process in order to get more intact video.
And then the other really fucking disturbing thing about the video was when they reach into the pile of baby parts and they're pulling out arms...
And they're literally pulling you see little baby arms.
And I'm pro-choice.
I think you should be able to do whatever the fuck you want up to a point.
And I think it's one of those things in life that there is a gray area.
And I think I'm pro-choice if it's a bunch of cells.
I'm pro-choice if it's a cluster of cells the size of a walnut.
But I think once it becomes a fucking human being, you're looking at a little tiny human being that's inside someone's body.
I don't know what the call is.
steven crowder
Well, the legislation is they want to have abortions up to 22 weeks.
joe rogan
What is it, 22 weeks?
4, 8, oh, Jesus.
steven crowder
Yeah, that's Wendy Davis and all of a sudden.
That's what they're pushing for.
And they want it to be, you know, and they want it to be taxpayer funded.
That's the deal that people have a problem with.
You know, you have some people who are pro-life on principle, and then you have some people who say, I still should never have to pay for an abortion, and you should never be able to force an employer to pay for an abortion.
joe rogan
42 weeks?
steven crowder
22. 22 weeks?
joe rogan
Jesus Christ.
steven crowder
That's kind of scary.
That's what they want legally.
joe rogan
Three months is weird because it's not viable outside of the womb.
But when you look at it, it looks like a fetus.
But that's the thing that the left has a real issue with because they don't want...
There's no open discussion.
There's no objectivity.
There's no...
When it comes to this, like you are either...
steven crowder
Hands off my vagina.
joe rogan
Exactly.
It's either like you are pro-choice or you are some fucking barbarian who's pro-life and you want to fuck with people's bodies and you want to stand outside of abortion clinics with signs and show aborted fetuses.
But I'm not saying that.
I am pro-choice.
I'm not the person to tell you what you can or can't do with your body.
But what we're looking at is a baby.
steven crowder
Well, yeah, what it is is it comes down to the irony of the left saying the right is anti-science.
And you have well-known atheists, even like Christopher Hitchens.
Dawkins isn't pro-life, but he kind of slipped up where they admitted that it was ending a life.
Christopher Hitchens is like, I think, absolutely, undoubtedly, it's a life.
And he walked people through it.
And then, of course, he became hated by the left and a bigot and a racist.
So people who claim that the right are anti-science when it comes to abortion, they want abortions past a point where there's no doubt that scientifically that is much more than a cluster of cells.
It's not going to be solved in this discussion.
joe rogan
I got into it with this comedian online from England because Dawkins had said something that a fetus or an embryo has just as much in common with a human being as a pig embryo or something like that.
Or is no different than a pig embryo?
I forget how he worded it.
But I was like, well, that's just disingenuous.
Because, obviously, a human embryo is going to become a human if you don't snuff it out.
A pig embryo is a fucking pig.
steven crowder
This goes back to the same thing in political correctness and stand-up.
Or cultural Marxism.
It's the same thing.
It's not, hey, you can have a reasonable position.
You can argue being pro-life.
And I can say, okay, I see where you're coming from.
It's, you out of control our uterus!
joe rogan
Well, what I was going to say is that this guy started saying I was right-wing.
He was like saying, you're right wing, and I'm not, and I'm pro-choice.
I'm saying, like right now, that is going to be a baby.
You can't say that's the same as a pig, because it's not.
And he was like, that was the other argument.
He was like, it's no different than a seed.
I go, it's not a seed.
I go, because a seed needs to be germinated.
A seed, you need to put it in the ground, it needs to be watered, and then it sprouts and then becomes a plant.
This is something that's already growing.
A seed is the egg.
That's the egg inside of a woman's body.
No one's saying you can't take eggs out of your body.
I'm not even saying you can't have abortions, but let's be honest about what it is.
It is a fetus.
Or an embryo, or whatever you want to call it.
There's a certain amount of weeks where it becomes scientifically considered a fetus, but I'm not a right-wing guy in a sense.
But I don't like the distinctions, man.
I don't like being left-wing.
steven crowder
But the left sees you as that way.
That's the problem.
joe rogan
I don't think so.
I think more people see me as being a liberal hippie than see me because I smoke pot and I have tattoos and I encourage people to do psychedelic drugs.
And I'm pro-gay rights.
I'm pro-gay marriage.
I'm pro-choice.
I'm pro a lot of things that are left wing.
steven crowder
Put it this way.
There are a lot of people in the Republican Party who are that way.
Certainly the libertarian wing.
Certainly people who would pull the lever for that.
joe rogan
Mm-hmm.
steven crowder
There is no one on the Democratic platform, no one, who would even allow you that inch that you just expressed.
No one running for president.
They wouldn't even give you that time of day.
It's abortion, on demand, for free, at any point.
That's their mantra, and they can't stray from it.
And that's just, you know, that's always where I try and speak with people.
Oh, right-wing douchebag!
Oh gosh, I just got echoed.
I don't know if the word douchebag was a trigger for the microphone.
joe rogan
Did it echo?
I didn't hear it.
It was your own head.
You got voices in your own head.
Right-wing douchebag is just such a trigger.
You got triggered!
You triggered yourself.
steven crowder
It's one of those things, you know, I've been called a racist my whole, anytime you've come out of the closet.
I've been banned from college.
joe rogan
Well, you are white.
steven crowder
No, I've said some, and I've made racist jokes.
I ended my set, the reason Tony Camacho signed me was I ended my set on the N-word, ER, stuck the landing, goodnight everyone, walked off.
And he was going, okay, I want to hear more.
joe rogan
Okay, in all fairness, Tony Camacho, not the best judge of stand-up.
steven crowder
I know.
Well, I don't want to say he's a great guy.
Well, I slept on his couch and stuff for a while.
joe rogan
Very nice guy.
steven crowder
Yeah, but my point is, you know, if you pull that out now, if you pull that out now, I mean, if I didn't have my own independent thing going, you end someone's career.
Have you ever said the N-word?
Like Paula Deen, the deposition was, have you ever said the N-word?
Anyone who would sing along to a Run-DMC album would have to answer yes.
They didn't ask the context.
And that's where we are.
joe rogan
I don't think Run-DMC used...
steven crowder
They didn't?
joe rogan
I think you're thinking like NWA. Maybe.
I mean, it's in their name.
steven crowder
I know Kanye does.
He's a douchebag, but he's a brilliant MC. Yeah, okay.
joe rogan
He got a couple good songs.
steven crowder
He does.
joe rogan
Yeah.
steven crowder
Alright, sorry, what were we gonna say?
You were gonna say something about Tony, do I know what?
joe rogan
No, no, I'll tell you that later.
Tell you that off the air.
He's a nice guy.
I like Tony.
steven crowder
Yeah.
joe rogan
He's always been a nice guy.
steven crowder
He's always been a nice guy.
My point is, I'm 17 and he brought me in.
joe rogan
I would have said, I want to hear more.
I want to hear more.
I'm not exactly sure if that's the best way to end your set, son.
steven crowder
No, the reason was, the bit was, and I've talked about it, and I'll even do it here, talk about it, open about it, was it was a bit about French-Canadians watching rap videos.
So you have these French-Canadians who are trying to mimic urban accents from the United States, and to the point where you would have them use words they had seen in rap videos, they didn't even grasp the meaning.
And so I did.
It was a whole bilingual set of using French words and merging it with English, and white kids using the N-word and walking off.
And it was kind of a shock, but really funny, because everyone had heard it, and that's how I ended it.
That's like on the Just for Laughs, too.
joe rogan
Speaking of the N-word, did you hear that Trevor Noah's a joke thief?
The guy's a joke thief, like straight up.
steven crowder
The South African...
joe rogan
The guy who's the new host of The Daily Show did a show recently.
I forget what it was for, but it wasn't a broadcast show.
And he did an old Dave Chappelle bit.
For a Dave Chappelle bit, I want to say from like the early 2000s...
Like, one of his early specials.
And, I mean, moved it around a little bit, but it's the same fucking joke.
I mean, verbatim.
steven crowder
Thank God you didn't get on stage with them at the Comedy Store.
joe rogan
Get on stage with him at the Comedy Store?
Oh, Trevor Noah?
steven crowder
Why?
joe rogan
Oh, the Mencia thing?
steven crowder
Well, you know, actually funny, I watched that.
And you know who I called?
I don't know if you're still with her.
It was with Tony Camacho, and I had a meeting with Stacey Mark.
joe rogan
Yeah.
steven crowder
Because you mentioned her, and I was like, oh, that must be the person.
joe rogan
Stacey's my agent.
She's still my agent.
She became my agent five minutes after that happened.
steven crowder
Yeah.
joe rogan
Because my agent at the time was the same agent as Muncie and they wanted me to apologize to him.
steven crowder
Yeah, I remember.
And I'm like, we're done.
I just had a list of going down.
That's what's weird.
I was nervous coming in here because, you know, when I was at Fox News, I was here for four and a half years and I went on air, you know, for the first time.
I had never seen any of these people.
I'd never had cable.
We didn't get Fox News in Montreal, so I kind of went in and wasn't starstruck.
I've been watching you since I was like 10. I mean, Dave Foley is a national hero.
He's a national treasure.
News radio, UFC, I've been following for a long time.
So you have to make sure that you're still yourself in the face of someone who you know.
The one time I got really starstruck was Clint Eastwood, and there's a certain level of fame with which I'm no longer comfortable, and I just made an ass out of myself.
joe rogan
Yeah, that's a level, like, we go...
If I ever met Clint Eastwood, I'd probably be a babbling fucking idiot, too.
steven crowder
I was.
joe rogan
Outlaw Josie Wales, dude.
It's tough to get past that.
steven crowder
Well, that's, what do you say to him?
Like, I love doing Every Which Way But Loose?
What do you pick?
joe rogan
That's a good one.
That was a good one.
steven crowder
I don't know how they trained that reggaeton.
joe rogan
Just say, you're the shit dog, and give him some knuckles.
steven crowder
Well, he said to me, he turns around, and he kind of saw I was looking at him, and I don't, you never want to be that guy to bother him, and you...
I'm Clint.
Put out his hand.
joe rogan
He doesn't have to say that, but he does.
I guess a lot of those really, really famous guys, they kind of have to do that because they don't want to assume that you know who they are, even though they do know that you know who they are.
So it's kind of like a common courtesy thing to ask your name instead of saying, what's your name?
Nice to meet you, buddy.
You know who I am, bitch.
Steve Crowder?
Nice to meet you.
steven crowder
You want to hear a funny Clint Eastwood story?
joe rogan
Yes.
steven crowder
Okay, so this is true.
joe rogan
Does it have to do with the Obama sit-down thing?
steven crowder
No, no, no, it doesn't.
Well, because it was at this kind of thing with conservatives in the entertainment industry, so it's very small and closed circuit, and everyone, it's small enough that people introduce themselves, like, hey, you know, I'm a comedian, you know, writer, blah, blah, blah, Fox News.
Hey, I'm so-and-so director.
And Clint Eastwood, everyone knows he's there, stands up and he goes, hi, I'm Clint, former mayor of Carmel.
joe rogan
That's true.
steven crowder
It's not untrue.
joe rogan
And if you want to be a mayor of a place, that's a spot.
That's a fucking beautiful place.
God, have you ever been to Carmel?
steven crowder
The closest I've been is like to Santa Barbara, and I've been through it on the way up.
joe rogan
You gotta keep going.
Carmel is on the way up to, uh, it's right next to Big Sur.
It's like maybe a half hour from Big Sur.
Fuck, it's beautiful up there.
That might be one of the most beautiful spots in this country.
steven crowder
Have you ever been to northern Michigan?
joe rogan
Yeah, I've been to northern Michigan.
steven crowder
Like north of Traverse City?
joe rogan
I've been to Olivet.
You know where Olivet is?
steven crowder
Yeah, no.
I mean, it's been actually rated most beautiful area in the country for a few years running.
Yeah, Leelanau County.
So it looks like the Mediterranean, you know, vineyards rolling down to water that's crystal clear.
No sharks, a little bit of lampreys.
And it's just gorgeous up there.
joe rogan
Yeah, there's some, well, there's some beautiful spots in this country, obviously, but what I was saying is that Carmel is just, it's a really unusual area.
There's not a lot of people there.
It's like the land, like there's the water, and then it doesn't go in that deep, you know, deep into the mainland.
It's just fucking stunning, stunning countryside and beautiful views of the ocean.
steven crowder
Well, that's where they did Play Misty for me.
joe rogan
Oh yeah, that's right.
steven crowder
Clint Eastwood beats the hell out of that broad.
joe rogan
He's probably been going up there for a long time.
steven crowder
He just beats the hell out of her.
joe rogan
You can't do that anymore.
steven crowder
You can't, but I remember watching it for the first time, like, oh, this is pretty good, and he just comes in, the hell are you, and just starts wailing on her.
I'm like, oh my god!
In the Dirty Harry films, you're just punching some prostitute with an afro, and you're like, you can't, like, blowing him away with his.44 Magnum?
joe rogan
You can't do any of that stuff anymore.
No, you can't.
steven crowder
You couldn't make Blazing Saddles.
joe rogan
It's super hard to punch women on movies.
Yeah, like, that woman would have to be, like, a demon or something like that.
And even then.
steven crowder
Even then, I don't know.
joe rogan
People don't want to see it.
steven crowder
Even then, they'd say it's a representation of the patriarchal society.
joe rogan
That's right.
steven crowder
Like Mad Max.
Did you see the remake?
joe rogan
Didn't see it.
steven crowder
It wasn't bad.
It was bizarre.
But it was like, all these people were saying it's this pro-feminist message because Charlize Theron kicks ass.
And then the feminists said, actually, it's not because the real leader is a guy and it's patriarchy and all these Tumblr blogs.
But it's a gay guy.
Who?
joe rogan
What's his face?
Tom, uh, what the fuck?
steven crowder
Tom Hardy?
joe rogan
Tom Hardy?
steven crowder
No, it's not Tom Hardy.
It's like an old gray-haired guy who's like a leader.
I don't think Tom Hardy's gay.
He shut down a reporter who asked him about his...
He said, oh, you're asking me about sexuality.
And he was like, just go away.
Said it's not interesting.
joe rogan
Yeah, that's what you say when you're gay.
steven crowder
Yeah, I know.
My rule is if a woman claims she's bisexual, like a teenager, she's trying to be cool.
If a guy says it, he's gay.
joe rogan
Oh, really?
Yeah, right.
steven crowder
I've never met a bi guy who wasn't gay.
joe rogan
Yeah, me neither.
Yeah, I would say there's two types of dudes.
There's gay dudes, and then there's really gullible straight dudes who get talked into blowing crafty gay dudes.
steven crowder
Like Bowie McJagher?
We don't really want to do this, but also...
unidentified
Who's Bowie McJagher?
steven crowder
David Bowie McJagher.
joe rogan
Oh, Bowie...
I thought it was like one person.
Who's Bowie McJagher?
steven crowder
Yeah, it's like that stand-up group, what is it, Oates and Garfunkel?
Just merging names.
joe rogan
That's funny.
steven crowder
Although that night they got it on, two became one.
joe rogan
I might have made that up about Tom Hardy.
steven crowder
No, I think he talked about experimenting at one point.
joe rogan
Oh, then he's gay.
steven crowder
That's it.
joe rogan
What are you, a scientist?
Are you sucking the dick with a lab coat on, a beaker in your hand?
What are you doing?
steven crowder
For some reason I'm picturing Beaker from the Muppets game.
joe rogan
But back in the 70s and the 60s, I think more people did experiment that might not even be gay because they were breaking down so many bizarre boundaries and there was so much restriction on behavior from the McCarthy era and the 1950s and the way people behaved.
It was all of a sudden everyone's doing acid and they're free love and I think there was a lot of dick sucking there that people went, you know, shouldn't have done that.
Like, they legitimately weren't gay, but did some gay shit.
That's, I mean, what do I know?
Not a historian.
steven crowder
We're getting off the realm of something that we can prove.
It's like LeVar Burton.
You don't have to take my word for it.
joe rogan
Is LeVar Burton gay?
steven crowder
No, but I mean, you ever watch that in Reading Rainbow?
joe rogan
Do you think when he puts those things on, it's just dicks glued inside there?
unidentified
It's like the kaleidoscope that Marv and Harry were looking in.
joe rogan
Butts and dicks.
The big kaleidoscope.
steven crowder
No, I remember reading Rainbow?
And you'd always be like, you know, this book, you'd talk about it in his little polo and his Burger King Kids Club haircut, and you'd be like, but you don't have to take my word for it.
And it's like, okay, so we're not taking your word for it.
We should take the word of a bunch of six-year-olds.
unidentified
And it's like, I love this book because...
steven crowder
How little respect do you have for your own opinion, LeVar?
joe rogan
Well, I think you're just being humble, right?
Maybe.
steven crowder
Which is generally not a quality found in the gay community.
joe rogan
No?
steven crowder
I don't know.
They're dramatic.
They have a flair for the dramatic.
joe rogan
They do have a flair for the dramatic.
That's one of the cool qualities about them.
steven crowder
Oh, it's hilarious.
You ever see a gay guy in a disaster, like a fire drill?
It's funny.
joe rogan
I've never seen a gay guy in a disaster.
steven crowder
I have a guy, actually, I was talking with my brother about it, a famous actor my brother works with, and he has, like, you know, an earthquake kit, and he's like, do you have that in your trunk anymore, like an emergency kit?
Because he had that when he was here for the big earthquakes, and he was in some area where it was, like, really gay, and he just said it was so funny, they were just running around in the streets, and oh my god!
And he's, like, super liberal, you know, further to the left than either of us, intolerant, and he was just like, it was just really a trip to see.
Well...
Milo?
You think he's gonna be your rock when that goes down?
joe rogan
No, no, no, no.
He'll fall apart.
steven crowder
I don't know if he'll fall apart, but he's running into the arms of another.
joe rogan
Yeah, there's gonna be some issues there, for sure.
But, you know, that's just not his wheelhouse.
His wheelhouse isn't fucking toughening up, you know?
steven crowder
I don't know.
joe rogan
And fucking riding it out, riding the storm out.
steven crowder
That's a negative stereotype.
I'm a little offended.
joe rogan
It is a negative stereotype, but the femininity of the gay male.
steven crowder
It's very funny, and it's okay to, like, I talked, well, that was, I was saying, at CPAC, it was like this political action conference, that's where Huffington Post said I yelled the N-word, and I didn't.
And they said I joked about raping Ashley Judd, and I didn't.
joe rogan
Wait, what was that?
Why'd they say that?
steven crowder
Who said that?
Well, they fact-checked stand-up.
This was Huffington Post.
And that's why when we were talking online...
joe rogan
So you were doing stand-up?
steven crowder
Yeah.
I was emceeing a political action conference.
unidentified
Right.
steven crowder
I was just doing some bits.
And one of them was in a private room.
It was like a blogging awards ceremony.
And we had a rap video.
Mr. America, we were dressed up as Thomas Jefferson and George Washington.
And one of the jokes in the video...
You know, it's not something you'd put on your resume, but it was bringing back Knickers.
It's a rap song.
And then the record stops, and I'm like, no, no, I can say Knickers because I wear Knickers.
And we actually had a black producer who was like, oh, okay.
You know, gives us a thumbs up.
We're like, hood pass for Knickers.
So I'm fine if Huffington Post want to say, okay, they made a joke that's risque, and, you know, but they just said Stephen Crowder yells N-word.
joe rogan
To applause.
Oh, Jesus Christ.
steven crowder
Or Ashley makes rape joke about Ashley Judd.
Do you imagine...
joe rogan
I'm sorry to interrupt.
steven crowder
Go ahead.
No, no, go ahead.
But that's why when you sent me them as a source, I'm going, you're sending...
You know, today's salon is tomorrow's HuffPo.
They are not the friend of stand-up comics.
joe rogan
No.
steven crowder
They want to destroy the voice of anyone who doesn't agree with them.
And that's a lot of stand-up comedians now.
And that's what's problematic.
joe rogan
Well, what I've said about these people and I'll continue to say it, I don't believe they're actually progressives.
What I think they're doing is they're mining the world of ideas and they're looking for things that they can attack.
I don't think they really want to attack it because it makes sense.
I think they're mining the world of ideas for the moral high ground and they're looking to find things that they can be aggressive about and go after and it gives them a license to be really shitty to people.
steven crowder
Yeah, you treat someone, you know, you paint them as subhuman, you can treat them as subhuman.
joe rogan
I think also, it's really important, if you really want to be a progressive person, you really want love and acceptance in the world, it's really important to not be a fucking asshole.
And there's a lot of these people, like, here's something.
I'm a hunter, okay?
And when I hunt, I sometimes put pictures of these fucking animals online.
And one of the reasons why I do it, I do it for a bunch of reasons.
One, to see the reaction.
Two, the last one I did, I did as a tribute to my friend Cameron Haynes, because I shot an elk with a bow and arrow, and he taught me how to do it.
It's hard to do.
The fucking nastiest people, the meanest shit, was vegans.
steven crowder
Oh, I read the Sherdog thread.
joe rogan
They were saying something.
I didn't read that.
But there were vegans on Sherdog.
Why do you read Sherdog?
steven crowder
I actually, that's how, you want to know how far back it goes.
I had an account before the message boards, I think, even existed because I was watching the highlight videos because I couldn't afford the pay-per-view.
So when I hear Beautiful Day from U2, I still think of Sakuraba light-kicking Henzo Gracie in his back.
joe rogan
Oh, beautiful.
steven crowder
Like, trigger.
But yeah, you were all over, sure, dog, they hate you.
joe rogan
That's fine.
They're animals.
Meanwhile, how many of those fucking dummies eat meat?
How many of those dummies have cats?
That's my favorite one.
People who have cats.
You buy cat food for your cat, guess what?
You're a fucking killer.
Because they're not getting that shit from a cat food tree, okay?
They're grinding up animals that live a horrible life, they're living in cages, and they're sucking them out of those cages, killing them in a ruthless, cost-effective manner, and stuffing them into a can so your little fucking tabby can eat.
steven crowder
Plus you still have to have a cat.
joe rogan
Yeah.
I like cats.
steven crowder
I don't.
I have a dog.
joe rogan
I have two cats.
I have dogs, too.
steven crowder
I have a giant dog.
joe rogan
But my point is that some of the meanest, nastiest shit was being said by vegans.
And I think that they have this green light to be a cunt.
And I think there's a lot of people that what they do is they find areas where they feel like they have the green light.
You know, there's a subject, there's an issue that's come up, and they feel like...
All these fucking people that went after that lion guy.
Like, I'm not saying you should go to Africa and kill a lion, but I don't want to go to Africa and kill...
I don't want to kill anything I'm not going to eat.
But that fucking guy did everything by the book, by the way.
steven crowder
He killed a lion with a name was his mistake.
joe rogan
Well, here's my favorite part of it.
Not just the protests and everybody standing outside of his fucking clinic and ruining his business.
steven crowder
Right.
joe rogan
My favorite part was, they were worried about his brother.
The brother of the lion, Cecil's brother, was- what the fuck was his name?
I forget the brother's name.
But Cecil had a brother, and the brother was also killed, and everybody was freaking out.
Oh my god!
And then they found that it wasn't the brother, there was just another lion, and everyone was relieved.
steven crowder
It's hard to tell them apart.
joe rogan
Some no-name fucking lion.
So if the lion doesn't have a name, that lion ain't shit.
steven crowder
He's riding Cecil's coattails, see?
Did you read the letter from the guy from Zimbabwe?
unidentified
Yes!
Yes!
steven crowder
And did you see the numbers of how many people get killed by lions every year?
Yes!
It's like 256 a year.
Did you see The Ghost in the Darkness?
Yes!
joe rogan
Yes, I did.
steven crowder
That's a nightmare.
joe rogan
It's a great movie.
It's Val Kilmer when he was young and sleek and sexy.
steven crowder
I know.
It's good fucking movies.
joe rogan
Michael Douglas was in that movie, too.
unidentified
Badass.
steven crowder
I think Al Roker is Val Kilmer in a fat suit.
We haven't seen him in so long.
joe rogan
Well, Val Kilmer slimmed down considerably from that meme.
Have you seen the meme, I Used to Be Batman?
Yeah.
That was Joel Schumacher.
steven crowder
Rubber nipples, bitch!
Yeah, he was a director.
Remember when Val Kilmer was there?
joe rogan
Val Kilmer was a good Batman, though.
I thought he was good.
steven crowder
That's one of those films I went back and watched, and I was like, Batman and Robin was bad.
That was really bad.
But Batman Forever was...
And I went back and watched it, and I was like, I wish I would have just...
joe rogan
Who was Robin?
steven crowder
Chris O'Donnell.
joe rogan
Oh, that's...
Whatever happened to that guy?
steven crowder
I think he has some show.
Alicia Silverstone was Batgirl, too.
And then she's like a vegan PETA person now.
joe rogan
Oh, wasn't he Chris O'Donnell with LL Cool J in some crime show?
Oh, Christ.
Even talking about that just dropped my IQ. That wasn't a film Rennie Harlan directed, and he did all those.
I think he's made of milk.
Yeah, there he goes.
Hey, guys.
Remember when I was Batman?
steven crowder
You know what's weird is I don't know how you let it get that far.
joe rogan
How about Marlon Brando?
You ever see On the Waterfront and then see The Last Days?
The Last Days of Marlon Brando?
steven crowder
I think he's very overrated.
joe rogan
As an actor?
steven crowder
Yeah.
I was a much bigger fan of James Dean than Marlon Brando.
joe rogan
Well, it was a different time.
But if you go to On the Waterfront and compare it to anything anybody else was doing back then...
steven crowder
No, I disagree.
Really?
Yeah.
The perfect scene is James Dean in Rebel Without a Cause...
And it's so bizarre, because he was kind of like one of the first naturalists.
If you look the way he spoke, it was pretty natural.
But everyone else in the scene was still...
So he was like, Oh, Mom, you're tearing me apart.
Leave me alone.
Well, that's a fine way to behave, young man.
He gets it from his mother, see?
And then you go to James, and he's sitting there talking, and you're like, this is real.
So you can just see when that transition happened.
And I think James Dean, when he was alive, didn't get the respect Brando did.
joe rogan
I don't know.
I didn't really pay attention to who got respect.
But I thought Brando was pretty good and on the waterfront, especially in comparison to the rest of the era.
steven crowder
You want to talk gay?
joe rogan
James Dean?
steven crowder
No, well, yeah, but I mean the outfit, the wild one with Marlon Brando, the little leather mailman hat and the handkerchief.
joe rogan
Well, you know when that became gay, Judas Priest came around.
steven crowder
Right.
joe rogan
That's when it became gay.
steven crowder
Yeah.
joe rogan
Because Rob Halford's gay as fuck.
Well, they started- You got everybody dressing gay.
They didn't even know they were dressing gay.
They just wanted to be like, Judas Priest, you've got another thing coming down.
steven crowder
Do you think Marlon Brando would have dressed that way if he knew that was coming down the pike?
joe rogan
I don't know.
Yeah.
steven crowder
I mean, that's gotta be tough, because you're a sex symbol and you're Marlon Brando, and then, like, this is going to become the iconic, you know, Mr. Slave outfit.
joe rogan
Yeah, but Marlon Brando clearly didn't give a fuck about anything.
He didn't give a fuck about the way he looked.
He didn't give a fuck about his health.
I mean, he was crazy.
Towards the end of his life, I mean, he was completely out of his mind.
steven crowder
Yeah.
joe rogan
I don't think it really mattered to him.
steven crowder
He wasn't the same rider, I don't think, that James Dean was on a motorcycle.
joe rogan
Really?
steven crowder
From what I understand, James Dean was pretty...
Well, I actually got to sit in...
You know, there were only something like 14 cars that James Dean...
The Spyder, Ferrari, whatever it is.
I don't know a lot about cars.
joe rogan
What it is...
steven crowder
Was it a Porsche?
joe rogan
The one that killed them.
steven crowder
Okay.
Really, really low?
Well, actually, what's funny is I bought my car.
It was a 2003 Taurus, but it was in the back of this car shop in Dallas where this guy has done like George Bush's car.
He just decks him out.
And he was just this old guy who was selling his old car.
And they showed me that.
It was like some absurd...
I could be wrong, like a million, two million dollars.
They said James Dean's was lot 13 or 14, and this was like lot 11 or 12. And it was one of those exact cars.
joe rogan
Yeah.
steven crowder
And I just looked at it, and I'm like, it's like a go-kart.
You're so low to the ground, that's got to be tough to control.
joe rogan
It's actually easier to control because it's low to the ground, and it's very lightweight.
Those are pretty easy to control for the time, but if you compare that to a Boxster today, like a Porsche Boxster, the Boxster is a way more competent car.
But those cars were 100% mechanical.
When you're buying a car today like that, like a Boxster, You're dealing with all sorts of traction control, stability management.
There's all sorts of behind-the-scenes computer-aided shit going on, anti-lock braking systems.
There's all sorts of stuff that's happening behind the scenes.
steven crowder
I just know when I saw it, it was one of those things where...
That's a perfect example.
My dad explained some things to me this way as a kid, right?
I saw that car.
I don't know a lot about cars at all.
I mean, I was buying a Taurus.
I was like, oh, okay, that's pretty cool.
He told me, so he told me the exact same truth that he could have told you.
But if you'd have seen that car, you'd probably, oh my god, want to look in and be really interested in it.
We both saw the same car, we both experienced the same thing, but it's an entirely different experience.
joe rogan
Right.
steven crowder
And that's just kind of the way, the human condition.
joe rogan
Sure.
steven crowder
Which I just find sort of fascinating.
Like to me, I was like, oh, okay, that's pretty cool.
Let me go by my doors.
joe rogan
Yeah, if you don't know, I mean, if you showed me like an old golf club or something like that, I wouldn't know shit about it.
But if you show me like an old pool cue, like a balabushka from like 1965, I'd be like, oh.
steven crowder
Right.
joe rogan
You know, I just, I know pool cues.
steven crowder
Well, it's like people who don't get jiu-jitsu.
unidentified
Yes.
joe rogan
You talk to them about it and they're like, well, you wear little cotton belts and you're like, no, Well, that's one of my main things that I have to do when fights go to the ground, is explain all the...
Like, if I was doing commentary and it was only black belts listening, my commentary would be infinitely shorter.
steven crowder
Right.
joe rogan
Because, you know, everybody would know kind of what's going on.
Yeah.
You know, triangle setups.
I mean, you'd be going...
Like, when we do these fight companion podcasts, we do them, like, sometimes we do them with Eddie Bravo, and when we're watching situations, we're talking about, like, some guy going for his...
He's going for the armbar.
We know.
I don't have to say.
What he's got to do now, he's got to be careful of the left arm.
If he gets the left arm past a certain position, now he's not in danger because it's past the elbow.
So there's a whole...
What I'm trying to do when I'm doing commentary for the UFC when the fights go to the ground is help people that I know are watching this to just see a jumble of bodies.
steven crowder
Yeah.
Well, even sport jiu-jitsu for people who do jiu-jitsu is not very entertaining.
joe rogan
Especially with the gi.
With the Gi, it's a real problem.
It's a real problem because it's boring as fuck.
steven crowder
Do you think it's gotten to the point?
My dad and I were talking.
I mean, my dad's actually a purple belt.
joe rogan
That's pretty cool.
steven crowder
He's 55. He started in his 50s.
joe rogan
That's awesome.
steven crowder
And he actually hasn't had a point scored against him.
joe rogan
Really?
steven crowder
Is he a beast?
joe rogan
You're a big guy.
He's probably a giant, huh?
steven crowder
Yeah.
Well, he played hockey at U of M. He's a real athlete, and he's stayed in shape.
So we actually...
I'll show you a video afterward.
So he's competed all the way through blue to get his purple, not even had a point scored against him.
joe rogan
Wow.
steven crowder
And his thing, though, is very strong takedowns, top control, pass.
And...
In practice, he'll roll with guys who are doing the reverse De La Riva and all this stuff.
And my dad and I believe, and I don't know if you think, somebody did taekwondo.
Taekwondo at one point where there was some combat relevance.
And then when you get into the Olympic, it's really not anymore.
I feel like sport jiu-jitsu has gone in that direction where you have a guy who can be the best in the world in a 125 division with a gi who would get his ass kicked by a hockey player in a street fight.
And to me, you sort of lost your...
joe rogan
Well, not if the hockey player weighed 125 pounds.
steven crowder
Well, a hockey player getting started at 200, you know, is my point.
My dad, when he got started, he would pull a gi over their head, because that was a hockey thing.
joe rogan
Right, right, right.
steven crowder
You can do, Darren, you can do.
joe rogan
But why can't you do that?
I think gis are stupid.
I mean, if you can take the collar, if you can take someone's fucking, the bottom of the jacket and wrap it all the way around his neck, Why can't you pull it over the head?
Stupid.
steven crowder
I mean, and that's the thing, is it's a weird situation getting into it, and it's no longer really combat relevant.
And we have a lot of guys who are, you know, the CrossFit thing and all this ridiculous sort of strength training that's come into it, and they never get strong.
joe rogan
Wait a minute, the CrossFit thing?
They don't get strong?
What do you mean?
steven crowder
No.
Cross, well, you should have Mark Riptoe on.
He'll talk about that.
I mean, with strength training, you need linear progression that's measurable when you're starting.
A guy like you, right, you can do anything now because you have a strength base.
Someone who's never lifted heavy weights and added five pounds incrementally is not going to get a lot out of battle ropes and snatches for five minutes.
He's not going to get a lot out of it.
He needs to increase his maximal strength.
So we have kids come in like, no man, I saw this.
This is what I'm doing.
It's the new strength thing.
They never get stronger.
They never get bigger.
And we started, and my dad is still of this philosophy, you start because you want to be a sovereign man.
You want to be able to defend yourself.
And if you're at a point where you double guard pole and you reverse De La Riva and you're no longer able to actually protect yourself...
unidentified
I don't know.
steven crowder
I feel like it's lost.
I mean, Hoyce Gracie is a good example.
You know, he wouldn't do well in sport jiu-jitsu, but he was big enough.
He was strong enough to get it done and protect himself and win altercations.
joe rogan
Well, the game has passed him by in a lot of ways, but I think that there are a lot of guys in sport jiu-jitsu that would do great, like Cyborg.
Right.
steven crowder
Look at Ryan Hall right now on the show.
joe rogan
Yeah, great.
steven crowder
I rolled with him when I was a white belt.
joe rogan
Yeah.
No, he's a badass.
There's a lot of really great jujitsu guys, but I agree with you like 50-50 guard.
There's a lot of silly shit that guys are doing that just doesn't seem like...
It's also kind of boring to watch in a lot of ways.
But then there's like Nogi, like Eddie Cummins, guys like Gary Tonin, who are like super aggressive, very, you know, submission-oriented.
There's a lot of guys.
Marcelo Garcia, very aggressive.
steven crowder
Rolled with him.
joe rogan
Submission-oriented, attacking style.
So there's going to be guys in the Taekwondo days that just play point style.
But there was always guys back then that were terrifying because they would knock guys dead.
Even during Taekwondo competition days, I remember there was this guy from the Ivory Coast that everybody was terrified of.
His name was Patrice Remarque.
Because his style of attacking was so much different than everybody else's.
Everybody else was playing this sort of, not everybody, but a lot of people were playing this sort of point game.
And this fucking dude was this, like, shredded black guy from the Ivory Coast that would kick through you.
unidentified
Why do you have to say blank?
steven crowder
Why is that necessary?
unidentified
He's from Africa.
joe rogan
He's in Africa.
steven crowder
Africa's fuck.
Well, he could be white from Africa.
joe rogan
A white guy from Africa.
steven crowder
That accent almost seems fake.
The South African accent?
joe rogan
Black from Africa.
Yeah, it's like a Dutch thing, right?
There were Dutch settlers that came to South Africa.
steven crowder
The South African almost sounds like they're faking an Australian accent.
Like a bad comic, like, I'm Australian, right?
You're like, that's not real.
It's like, oh, it's just South Africa.
joe rogan
Well, that's when we saw the two collide on Lethal Weapon.
Remember?
Mel Gibson had at it with the apartheid guy.
The apartheid.
What did he call them?
Kefir.
I don't know.
steven crowder
This wasn't the first one, was it?
No, it was down the line.
joe rogan
But he was like, Danny Glover was a black guy.
He had a bad name for black guys.
steven crowder
Danny Glover's too old for that shit, you know?
joe rogan
He is.
Too old for that shit.
steven crowder
When you go back and watch it and you realize that Mel Gibson is crazy, you go back and watch those and you can kind of see the flashes.
You're like, oh yeah, that makes sense.
joe rogan
But do you think that Mel Gibson got crazy?
Or do you think he always was crazy?
steven crowder
No, I think...
I mean...
I've spoken actually with some people who worked in Passion of the Christ, and I think he got so much heat for that.
I mean, you talk about sort of like social justice warriors.
He got so many people who went after him, and I just don't think he was expecting or used to that kind of pressure.
I think, have you ever heard of the voicemails?
joe rogan
Oh, yeah.
steven crowder
To me, that is the funniest thing I've ever heard in my life.
joe rogan
Well, it's funny to me, but it's sad because he's an old guy.
He's dating this Russian assassin, you know, and she's stealing his cum and making babies.
steven crowder
The thing that's so funny to me...
Is he's like off the wall angry, right?
For people who haven't heard it.
joe rogan
Shut up and blow me!
unidentified
Because I deserve it!
steven crowder
But then he goes, he starts yelling.
My friend and I, I sit there, go, okay, listen, listen.
And I cue it up.
I let people listen for context.
I go, this is the funniest thing you'll ever hear.
And no one laughs except for me and my producer, Gay Jared, where he's like, you have no soul!
You have no soul!
But I will give you one more chance.
And I don't know why, I just find like anyone who's been through a breakup where you're like, I want to tell her off, but I want to make it work.
Does he say that?
joe rogan
I will give you one more chance?
steven crowder
But I will give you one more chance.
And she goes, I don't want another chance.
joe rogan
What?
steven crowder
I don't want, what?
It just goes crazy.
And to me, it's just like the pain.
Do I think it was horrible, the things he said?
Yeah, but anyone who's been in like one of those horrible breakups and you feel like you're not being heard has felt that anger.
And then he tries to pull it back.
joe rogan
I will give He needs better friends.
steven crowder
Well, Robert Downey's his best friend.
joe rogan
Really?
steven crowder
Yeah, they're close friends.
joe rogan
Robert Downey Jr.?
steven crowder
That's what he said?
Yeah, he came out and introduced him at some award thing.
unidentified
Hmm.
joe rogan
Interesting.
Wonder if Robert Downey Jr. hates the Jews as well.
steven crowder
I don't think I'll come out and say it.
joe rogan
Because Mel Gibson, you just get a couple cocktails into him and apparently he just starts hating the Jews.
steven crowder
I don't think it's the cocktails that make him hate the Jews.
joe rogan
No, but that's what gets it out of him.
There's people that got him pulled over in Malibu, the cops that pulled him over were saying he's just fucking spouting out all this fucking anti-Jew stuff.
steven crowder
Called the one cop sugar tits.
joe rogan
Oh, that's right.
steven crowder
I don't know why.
I find it really funny.
I know it's terrible and people pull this up against me as an example of being racist.
I just find that pain funny because everyone's felt it and then he tries to pull it back.
I don't know why in my head.
joe rogan
It is funny.
steven crowder
Think about the pain of everything you just said.
You hope she gets raped by a pack of N-words and all that stuff.
joe rogan
Oh, that's right.
I forgot about that part.
A pack of wild N-words, right?
Wasn't it?
steven crowder
Like they're just roaming.
joe rogan
They're wild.
steven crowder
Like that's what they do.
joe rogan
Yeah, like fucking lions.
steven crowder
But you know what, though?
The crazy thing is?
You don't know that he hates black people.
joe rogan
No.
steven crowder
He could have, like, you know, Michael Richards.
joe rogan
Well, he's in those movies with Danny Glover.
They seem to get along wonderfully.
steven crowder
And that's one thing I've talked about with people.
People go, oh, you're going to say you have a black friend now?
Here's the thing.
If you have a lot of black friends...
joe rogan
Do you have black friends over for dinner?
steven crowder
Do I? Aside from Tony Camacho?
Yes.
Yeah, plenty of black friends.
unidentified
Okay.
steven crowder
But the point is...
joe rogan
When was the last time a black guy was over your house for dinner?
steven crowder
Probably been a while.
joe rogan
I'm hoping you don't ask me.
unidentified
You caught me.
steven crowder
You're coming back telling me about some black guy, shot someone at the comedy store, and you're going to put me in the hot seat, leave a black guy home for dinner?
joe rogan
Well, I don't know that guy.
steven crowder
Would you feed him?
Was it grass-fed?
Did you feed him grass-fed?
joe rogan
Grass-fed?
steven crowder
I don't know.
Otherwise, I don't know.
It's like, bring out the corn-fed steak.
He's a Negro.
I mean, what do you think?
joe rogan
Is that a bad steak?
steven crowder
You're all into the grass-fed.
joe rogan
I am, but I eat corn-fed beef, too.
steven crowder
Really?
joe rogan
Yeah, it's not bad.
It's fatty.
Sometimes it tastes delicious.
A nice corn-fed prime rib.
steven crowder
I don't have the Joe Rogan salary, so it's mostly corn-fed.
joe rogan
Well, is grass-fed that much more expensive?
steven crowder
Oh my gosh, it's so much more.
joe rogan
You make some money.
steven crowder
Although, I've never hunted, but my uncle-in-law has a cider mill up in northern Michigan, and all the deer just keep eating his apples.
So he was like, listen, I have a permit, something absurd, I don't know the number, to kill like five a month or something, because they're just constantly eating his apples.
He's like, you want to come up?
And I was like, I mean, I'm not a hunter, but I could literally just sit there in a lawn chair with my.357, take a couple of them out while they're eating some Fugees.
joe rogan
A.357?
steven crowder
Yeah, they changed the law.
You can hunt with handgun cartridges.
joe rogan
Yeah, but you don't want to.
steven crowder
Actually,.357 out of a rifle has ballistics that are higher than mid-caliber rifle stuff.
joe rogan
Well, the rifle is just more accurate, is what I'm saying.
steven crowder
Yeah, but out of a six-inch barrel handgun,.357, you're actually going to get really surprising ballistics.
joe rogan
But you have to be really close, is what I'm saying.
steven crowder
They're going to eat a Red Delicious right in front of me.
How far?
Probably from me to you.
These things love the apples.
That's the point.
joe rogan
They get that close?
steven crowder
Yeah, they just eat the apples.
They go nuts.
I'm peeing all over the cider orchard property because apparently it helps.
And you're just like, listen, you want to kill them?
I know a guy who will process them right down the road.
joe rogan
It's delicious meat, especially if they're eating apples.
unidentified
I love venison.
steven crowder
I just don't know how to cut out the anus.
joe rogan
That's not hard.
steven crowder
It makes me nervous.
joe rogan
If you know how to operate a microphone, you can figure that out.
steven crowder
I don't think I've done a stellar job of that today.
I'm not used to the...
joe rogan
It's not hard.
But yeah, gutting them, you get used to it.
It becomes normal.
You understand where to go and how to cut around.
steven crowder
Well, they've opened it up in Michigan because it's just a real problem.
They're eating everything.
joe rogan
We pulled it up the other day.
There was a number of the amount of driving accidents involving deer.
Deer hit in Michigan.
And it was like 40,000.
Pull that up again, Jamie.
steven crowder
That's why I won't ride the motorcycle out there in any rural area with a deer.
joe rogan
It's insane.
steven crowder
Yeah.
joe rogan
I mean, people who live in urban environments, they get upset at hunting, they don't understand.
You literally don't understand.
These animals have vastly overpopulated to the point where they bring in hunters in suburban Pennsylvania because they have no limits.
You can shoot as many as you want all day long, all year long, and they bring people in just to try to...
unidentified
Pennsylvania?
joe rogan
...in a lot of parts of Pennsylvania.
I don't know specifically which counties, but I know that these guys that I know that are bow hunters, they fly them out to Pennsylvania and they film shows where they're essentially in these fucking people's yards.
And they set up tree stands.
And I'm not kidding.
It's a nice yard, but suburban neighborhood, nice street, big houses.
unidentified
It's a nice yard.
steven crowder
It is.
joe rogan
It's a home.
Like, that's got like several acres, like two or three acres, and they have tree stands set up, and they're just killing as many deer as walk their way.
steven crowder
I can imagine.
joe rogan
Yeah, and they have to, because driving accidents are fucking crazy.
So many people hit them.
steven crowder
Yeah.
I just,.357 is my gun of choice.
joe rogan
That's your gun of choice?
Why is that?
steven crowder
Sounds good.
A.357 handgun out of a four-inch barrel is going to have better ballistics than any other caliber for self-defense.
And the reason why is I have a giant bucket of.38s and giant bucket of.37s with lever-action rifles, different handguns, and my wife doesn't need to worry about what goes into where.
And I have a beautiful, almost collector's item, an old.357 Smith& Wesson.
joe rogan
An old one from where?
steven crowder
Smith& Wesson, it's like an 81. It's not that, but it's before they have the internal lock, and it's nickel-plated.
joe rogan
It's just beautiful.
steven crowder
It's my favorite.
The trigger on that thing is just butter smooth.
joe rogan
Here's the number.
Average of 134 deer vehicle crashes each day.
Holy shit!
Holy shit!
For 2012, resulted in 1,329 injuries and 8 deaths.
Wow.
steven crowder
Just kill those things.
joe rogan
Yeah, well, they're food.
You know, that's the thing about them.
I've never been on it, but I would do it.
You should.
It's not bad.
It's fun to do.
steven crowder
I don't think it's bad.
joe rogan
People don't want to say it's fun for some reason.
I don't understand that.
It's ethical and it's fun.
It is fun.
Why deny that it's fun?
steven crowder
It's fun and it's productive.
joe rogan
Yeah, it is definitely productive.
steven crowder
Certainly more productive than shooting at the range.
joe rogan
Well, especially if you want to eat healthy meat that's natural and organic, and especially if you want to help control the population of these animals.
Because there's only one other way.
You're going to bring in wolves?
What are you going to do?
Bring in mountain lions and have them run through the streets of Pennsylvania?
Come on.
I mean, you don't really have a lot of other options for controlling the populations of these fucking animals.
steven crowder
We had a bobcat in our yard, and Hopper, our dog, like, went after that thing.
joe rogan
They're cool looking.
steven crowder
They're cool.
joe rogan
They look weird, right?
steven crowder
He can't catch it, but he would have messed it up.
joe rogan
I had one of those in my yard once.
It was the weirdest thing.
I was like, what is that fucking cat?
steven crowder
They have, like, the wolverine kind of thing.
joe rogan
They have, like, the tips of their ears are, like, fucking weird looking.
I was like, what is that?
steven crowder
Yeah.
joe rogan
It's very strange looking.
Their back legs look longer than they should be.
steven crowder
Yeah, it's a weird sort of body dynamic.
joe rogan
Yeah.
steven crowder
Yeah, our dog went nuts for it.
If he'd have been able to catch it, he would have killed it.
joe rogan
He would have killed it?
Yeah.
How big is your dog?
steven crowder
He's a dog Argentino.
joe rogan
Oh, okay.
That's a big fucking dog.
steven crowder
Yeah.
Well, I think Ronda Rousey has one.
He's a little bigger.
He was a rescue.
That's another thing.
A perfect example of leftists and animal rights.
We have a rescue.
He came to us with a broken leg, balding, Lyme disease.
He wasn't the perfect dog.
We've basically brought him back to health.
I volunteered at shelters, helped with them.
But you know what?
I also tell people, if you have kids, you probably shouldn't adopt a dog.
You probably should get it from a puppy and raise your kids and know about that dog.
Yeah.
He's perfect for us.
He's a little bit racist.
I'm not going to lie.
I don't know.
And he's a white dog.
He's stark white.
joe rogan
Your dog is racist?
steven crowder
Well, you know what's funny?
He loves black men.
Older women, black boys.
joe rogan
Black boys?
steven crowder
Like 12-year-old black boys.
He's just a little leery.
Specifically them.
And he's not aggressive, but you just see he wants to be pet by everyone.
He's the most friendly, pack-ranted dog.
Younger black boys, he's like, no.
unidentified
Wow.
steven crowder
And he's all white.
So that's all we need.
joe rogan
Well, there are a lot of dogs that are fucking sketchy as hell around kids.
I had a friend who had a pit bull that was really sketchy around kids.
And it's just, he had never been around kids, and kids to him looked like little animals.
Like, he didn't understand what they were.
steven crowder
Well, it's unstable.
joe rogan
Yeah.
steven crowder
Our dog actually, Hopper, he's a, if my wife and I argue at all, or if we're ranting about our day, like I have to be careful when I do the radio show, he'll sit in the corner, look in the corner, and shake.
joe rogan
He gets upset?
steven crowder
But it'll actually shake.
joe rogan
Oh, so like he was abused?
steven crowder
He just, when we pulled out a musket for a video, we did like a...
Never before in front of him.
He pulled it out, barking like crazy.
Showing his, foaming at the mouth with the musket.
joe rogan
Whoa.
steven crowder
So we don't know.
You don't know what he's seen.
No, and if you're a kid and you're pulling a cap gun, oh my god!
You know, it's like the woman who had her face ripped off by a chip.
joe rogan
I had a female rescue dog that if you raised your voice, she would just drop to the ground and cower.
steven crowder
Yeah.
joe rogan
You couldn't say, what are you doing over there?
steven crowder
Right.
joe rogan
She had been beaten.
And the other dogs that I had from the time they were puppies, you'd be like, what the fuck's going on with her?
steven crowder
Yeah.
joe rogan
Jesus Christ.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Do you know how this house works?
steven crowder
Well, that's the whole thing.
The guy yells.
Yeah, exactly.
You have to, um, we actually tried to rescue another dog and a lady wouldn't give it to us because she found out my politics.
joe rogan
True story.
Oh, come on.
steven crowder
I swear to you.
joe rogan
What?
steven crowder
Yeah.
joe rogan
Come on.
Really?
unidentified
Yep.
steven crowder
Dog's name is Mr. Big.
I wonder how he's doing to this day.
joe rogan
Well, she's probably a crazy cunt.
steven crowder
She was a super hippie, and she was looking for a reason.
And so it was this shelter where you have to go in for a whole weekend and learn all these dogs.
So it was actually where I ended up volunteering.
And this one dog everyone was scared of, he was like an American bulldog mix.
So he was about 120 pounds, called Mr. Big.
And he would just fall at the mouth and be barking at the...
Fence?
Fence, yeah, but they all have their own individual runs in this one.
And you just go in, he's just excited.
So no one wanted to take him out.
He was just great.
And what really got her mad was we had to watch this dog training video.
And I was like, how to learn dog body language!
And a little writing comes in, like an early 90s VHS. And I went out, and she's like, what'd you think of the source material?
I said, you gotta love that early 90s saved by the bell font, right?
She wrote something down, and she was furious.
joe rogan
Because you made fun of the font?
steven crowder
I don't know.
I just know I didn't get the dog.
That dog could have had a house.
We're happy with our dog, but it breaks my heart to think of him.
joe rogan
But how do you know that it was about your politics?
steven crowder
Well, she said, because when there was no valid reason, because we know the owner of that place, she said, well, I get to choose who gets what dog, and he's just not the right dog for them.
I wouldn't give them any dog, is what she said.
I wouldn't give them any dog.
joe rogan
Well, how did she know?
Did she Google you?
Yeah.
steven crowder
Well, I came in and the guy who owns it was a fan.
He's like this multi-millionaire who's kind of a fan and I think he probably let her know or something and she was...
joe rogan
Oh, so he's a fan of yours, but she works for him and she's not a fan, but she gets the ultimate decision?
steven crowder
He's very hands-off with that, yeah.
joe rogan
Wow.
steven crowder
How weird.
He's a great guy.
He's a great guy, actually, this multi-millionaire and...
People just hate him where we are.
And you just meet him and he's like, he's made all of his money.
What's crazy, and this is sort of something we don't tell kids.
I talk with people about this.
We say, well, what do you want to be?
I want to be a firefighter.
You need to ask him what kind of a lifestyle do you want to live?
Because this guy's made all of his money off of burger patty machines.
Really?
And no kid goes, I want to make burger patty machines.
But, you know, do you say, hey, you want to never have a boss and have a bank account with tens of millions of dollars?
That sounds pretty good.
Burger patty machines.
joe rogan
Well, this guy's already got the market cornered, though.
Maybe tell him something else.
steven crowder
Yeah, you know, I don't know.
Hot dog machines.
joe rogan
I mean, how many more fucking people can make burger patty machines?
donald cerrone
Imagine if you come along with a new one, you know?
joe rogan
He'll fucking box you out of the business.
He's like, listen.
steven crowder
It's the 1%, kid!
joe rogan
Yeah, listen, I got this market cornered.
Maybe you need to make hot dog machines.
steven crowder
Well, you know, it's a perfect example.
He's rich, we're supposed to hate him, and he's a great guy, and he runs this giant non-kill dog shelter, and he's just like...
But everyone just hates him.
joe rogan
Oh, okay.
Some people.
Yeah, you're supposed to hate wealthy folks that are famous, or that are successful, rather.
steven crowder
Unless they're actors.
joe rogan
Unless they're actors, then you're not...
steven crowder
Well, actors talk about the wealthiest 1%, and they go out and they talk about the people, but they don't act.
joe rogan
But they are the 1% in a lot of ways.
steven crowder
You're the top 1% of the top 1% of 1%.
joe rogan
Well, here's what's really crazy.
If you make more than $34,000 a year, you're in the 1% of the world.
steven crowder
Yeah.
You know what you're 1% in the United States?
joe rogan
What?
steven crowder
$500,000 annual family income.
You know what's top 10%?
joe rogan
What?
steven crowder
$150,000 annual household income.
joe rogan
Whoa.
steven crowder
So we're actually, we have a video going up right now at the site.
Today we're actually launching an AR-15 giveaway, and we have a video on Bernie.
Yeah, we're giving them away, folks.
Sorry, can I use your show to plug that?
joe rogan
Give away AR-15s?
steven crowder
Yeah.
joe rogan
Do you believe in background checks?
steven crowder
Yeah, we do all that.
Actually, it's done through AR15.com, and they sell custom AR15s.
joe rogan
Well, of course, if you're doing it legally, you have to have background checks.
They ship to an FFL. But I'm saying, your politics, do you think that...
steven crowder
Well, there are background checks.
joe rogan
Yes.
Right.
steven crowder
That's fine.
joe rogan
You don't have a problem with...
steven crowder
The gun show loophole.
joe rogan
What's that?
steven crowder
Is that what you're talking about?
The gun show loophole?
joe rogan
What gun show loophole?
Oh, well, that is an interesting loophole.
You know, you can sell guns to people.
Well, explain the gun show loophole for people who don't understand.
steven crowder
It's just, you know, they say with a background check at a gun show there's a loophole and you can get a gun without a background check.
Here's the thing.
I think it was Charles Cook who was on one of those cable news networks.
Sorry, I have to burp.
We're going to have to go ahead.
joe rogan
Go ahead.
steven crowder
I don't have a cough button here.
joe rogan
It's really a quiet burp.
Yeah, this show is real as fuck, dude.
We don't believe in cough.
Actually, we're going to probably put a cough button.
Are we going to decide that yet?
We didn't really decide.
We're thinking about putting a cough button in the next studio.
steven crowder
That helps me zero right now.
joe rogan
Sorry.
Yeah, I'm just talking.
steven crowder
My thing is with the gun issue, it's about the intrinsic right to self-preservation.
So a good example is, you asked me if I did stand-up.
I don't do a ton of it anymore, but I have one next week.
When I do any live performance now, there has to be armed security in some kind of a gate.
It's just the way it is.
Same thing with someone like Ann Coulter, Mylonopoulos.
You don't just get to go up and do stand-up anymore.
joe rogan
But Mylon, he shows up at slut walks.
steven crowder
Yeah, I do that too, but that's different from an announced show on a schedule where people can show up and know that you're going to be there.
joe rogan
So you have armed security always at all of your shows?
steven crowder
If I do it, yeah.
joe rogan
Why is that?
steven crowder
Because of the crazy death threats.
And I don't talk about it a lot because you never want to be the person like Lena Dunham.
I got a death threat because I showed my nipple.
It's like legit when you question Islam and you do those videos and you're on CARES watch list.
You have to be careful.
joe rogan
Well, you did a video that was pretty fucking ballsy where you showed the actual history of Muhammad as opposed to the history of Jesus, like the difference between the Christian religion and the Islamic religion.
steven crowder
Right.
joe rogan
It's pretty ballsy.
And when you did that, is that when...
steven crowder
It was before that.
That was a sequel.
That was the Quran Challenge 2. And I remember this was before I was at Fox News.
I called Andrew Breitbart, the first one, and I put it up.
I go, there's some backlash, Andrew.
Can you help me?
He goes, I'm going to get it to the online guy at Fox.
And he said, when you're dead, it's a story, kid.
And he hung up the phone.
joe rogan
What?
That's what he said?
steven crowder
That's what he said.
joe rogan
Oh, that's rude.
steven crowder
Yeah.
Yeah, that's rude.
So the second one, but I mean, even you as someone who doesn't subscribe to either faith, you know, my whole point is you can point to imperfect people on any side of the spectrum, but go to the founders, and there's a huge difference with Muhammad.
So we actually showed, you know, what a six-year-old, nine-year-old girl looks like, who his wife was.
It's not the same as a 14-year-old, which was normal.
joe rogan
Well, you showed a girl that was actually older than his wife.
steven crowder
Yes.
joe rogan
Yeah.
steven crowder
You showed like an 11-year-old.
joe rogan
Is that what you showed?
steven crowder
I think so.
She was like 10. Actually, her dad is a brilliant jiu-jitsu guy who runs a school in Dallas.
joe rogan
It's kind of fucked up when you stop and think about the history of a lot of religious stories.
I mean, if you go back and think about what was acceptable 2,000 years ago, 1,000 years ago, 1,500 years ago, whatever it was.
You're talking about a completely different era.
And that's one of the problems with enforcing a lot of religious scripture today.
There's many things that people do in the Bible.
My favorite is religious people that get tattoos.
If you're a Christian, you get a tattoo.
You've got to read the whole book, because you're not supposed to get tattoos.
steven crowder
Well, no, they would argue that Christ came to change the law and abolish the law so they're not beholden to some of the dietary laws or the fabric laws.
joe rogan
Bacon.
steven crowder
Bacon, yeah, exactly.
That's just really what it was.
Fabric laws are the best.
joe rogan
The fabric laws.
steven crowder
But do you understand why those exist?
joe rogan
You're not allowed to have two different types of cloth.
steven crowder
Do you understand why that exists?
joe rogan
I would assume the fabric law has to do with the people that were constructing the fabrics back then, that they had gang wars between silk and cotton.
steven crowder
No, kind of.
But what it was, a big reason for that, you have certain laws that were applicable to everyone, like the Ten Commandments.
And then you had laws that were designed to separate the Jewish people.
That's like a team jersey.
Because everyone else is doing this, so your beard's going to be this way.
Your fabric's going to be this way.
And so that's where brilliant theologians, far smarter than myself, will say, well, this is why these laws apply and these laws don't.
But my point is, I don't have a problem with, you know, like Tom Cruise.
I haven't stood up when he was like, he jumped on a couch.
I don't really care.
He's a little nutty, whatever.
joe rogan
What does that have to do with religion?
steven crowder
Well, Scientology.
Everyone was going, Scientology messed up his brain.
joe rogan
But jumping on the couch, did you think that had to do with anything?
steven crowder
Well, my point is, a lot of people said, you know, Scientology's messed him up.
I don't have a problem with Scientology.
I don't have a problem with Buddhism, Hinduism.
I don't.
There is one religion right now in this world, one religion where over 300 million people right now on Earth believe that you deserve to die if you leave the Islamic faith.
These are the people who will answer yes when you say, if someone converts from Islam, do they deserve to be executed?
Yes.
Over 300 million people in the world right now.
So when you say it's like this small minority, it's because you live this privileged life, ironically enough, in the United States, and you're not acknowledging the founder of the faith, what his callings were, and how every Islamically-run It's not the same thing.
It's not the same as any other religion.
And that's what I was pointing to.
You can find hypocrites.
You can find crazy Scientologists.
You can find crazy Christians.
But don't look to Christians.
Look to Christ.
And you may not like Christ.
You may think he's weird.
Don't look to Muslims because you have Muslim refugees now going into Germany, Syrian refugees who want welfare dollars for cigarettes.
That's not Muslim.
Look to Muhammad.
Muhammad did kill.
Muhammad did call for the deaths of Christians in Muhammad did screw a six, maybe nine-year-old girl.
He beat her, but only lightly so you couldn't see bruises.
If she was dressed up as a ninja, that's not hard to do.
These are different things, and people need to acknowledge it, and the left that labels me a racist, that labels you right-wing because you have a different opinion and you go off the reservation, All of a sudden just completely ignores that and sort of accepts it as cultural relativity.
Well, you don't really understand the reason a woman needs four witnesses when she's had the crap raped out of her.
We're going to ignore that and talk about some people here who are pro-life because their hands are on your uterus.
And that's what bothers me.
joe rogan
Well, I get bothered by any ideology that's rigid.
Anytime you have to subscribe to a bunch of rules, you have to fast during a certain time of the year, you have to wear a certain outfit, the women can't drive, they're not allowed to go to school.
Anytime you have really rigid ideologies, and then those ideologies, you find out that they're ancient and they're established by a warlord.
I mean, that is the difference between Christianity and Islam.
Jesus was supposed to be a man of peace, and Muhammad was supposed to be a warlord.
steven crowder
He held political office, he waged wars, he beheaded people, he did all those things.
joe rogan
It's a fundamental difference in the ideology, and it shows itself in the behavior of the people that are a part of the ideology.
In their minds, this is all...
It's all, like, guaranteed in Scripture.
It's all in their eyes.
What they're doing is all halal.
Everything is, you know.
steven crowder
Yeah, halal.
You know, it's one of those things.
It's also political ideology and legal prescription.
That's what people don't understand.
They go after Ben Carson and say he's a bigot.
So he's black, right?
All conservatives were racist.
And then when Clinton announced her nomination, all conservatives became sexist.
So with Ben Carson, well, he's not really racist.
Well, we'll say he's a bigot because he said he thought that he would have a problem with a Muslim president who supported the actual ideals of law in the Quran, Sharia law.
And they asked him, they said, "Well, what parts do you have a problem with?" And you know, Ben Carson, he goes, "It's not unreasonable at all." He goes, "Well, you know, I think that there are parts that are impossible to rectify with the constitution, like, you know, the treatment of women, the requirement of witnesses for a female rape, the subjugation of all non-Muslims, the dimitude and the poll taxes, which of course couldn't be allowed in the United States." So I believe that we'd have to have a Muslim reject those precepts if they were going to be.
Oh, my God!
He's an anti-Muslim!
Like, that's a reasonable position.
joe rogan
It's a very reasonable position.
steven crowder
His gun thing was a reasonable thing about the Nazis.
Entirely reasonable.
joe rogan
The term Islamophobe, too, is a very disingenuous term.
Like, that term drives me nuts.
Like, if you criticize Islam, you're Islamophobic.
What is a phobia?
A phobia is a fear.
Are you fear of irrational religions?
Yes, I have a fear of those.
I'm also afraid of the Moonies.
I'm afraid of a lot of cults.
Yeah.
You know why?
Because I don't think anybody should be able to tell you how the fuck you should think.
I think the idea of having a government and having laws that are established by the people for the people that make sense, that give people equal freedom, that give people equal say, freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom to practice whatever you feel as long as it doesn't infringe upon the rights of other people, I think all those things are great.
I think as soon as you have any sorts of ideologies that infringe upon those things, and the fact that progressive people, which is really weird, they'll shit on Christians all day long and have no problem with it, but they leave Islam alone.
And the reason why they leave Islam alone is because they don't want to get killed.
And that's the reality.
steven crowder
They're Islamophobic.
joe rogan
Exactly.
Well, that's the real Islamophobia, is the not criticizing it.
Criticizing it is not Islamophobia.
It's just a legitimate criticism.
It's a ridiculous idea.
They're all ridiculous.
I think any time you Buy into some rigid shit that was created way before people understood the world, way before people understood science, way before people understood the distance between the earth and the sun, the moon, the rotation of the earth.
I mean, think about all the shit that happened to Galileo when he tried to say that the earth wasn't the center of the universe.
unidentified
Right.
joe rogan
I mean, that's all religion.
The Inquisition, it's all religion.
There's so many things that have been done, horrible things in the name of the ideology.
steven crowder
And just as much in the name of atheism, of course.
joe rogan
Michael Shermer had an interesting piece on the differences between Islam and other religions.
And it was all essentially saying that it was the one religion that didn't go through the Enlightenment.
That all these other religions, they sort of morphed and adapted to the new information.
You know, obviously some less than others, and obviously some...
I mean, when you see the fucking Pope dressed up like a wizard, you gotta go, well, obviously he's got some of that old crazy shit in his fucking war chest, but this Pope is Bernie Sanders in a funny hat.
He is, right?
He's an interesting one.
I think he's a faker.
I think what they did is they found some guy and they go, look, we're going to keep this thing rolling, right?
We like to have the gay bathhouse right above the Vatican.
They own the largest gay bathhouse in Europe.
You know that, right?
Do you know the whole story behind it?
steven crowder
I don't even know.
Let's talk about Islam.
I'm not Catholic.
joe rogan
Well, I am.
Well, I was raised Catholic.
steven crowder
Yeah, well, that's also very different, you know, and one thing that you're right.
I just don't want to create a moral equivalency.
I think we can agree that pragmatically, even if they have a gay bathhouse, it's not the same as hundreds of millions of people who want you and I blown up.
joe rogan
No, it's not.
I mean, I think there's a difference in Catholicism.
Like, first of all, there's no proselytizing.
They're trying to convert people.
They do, obviously, shield child molesters.
I mean, that was one of the reasons why the last pope had to step down.
I mean, that guy, the reason why the Vatican has so much power...
steven crowder
That's why Ratzinger had to step down?
joe rogan
Oh, yeah.
He's wanted for crimes against humanity.
They want to prosecute him for crimes against humanity.
That guy shielded child molesters to the point where one of the guys he shielded went on to molest 100-plus deaf children.
I mean, they fucking sent him.
They would take...
steven crowder
Didn't even hear him coming.
joe rogan
Oh, how dare you.
How dare you sneak that one in?
steven crowder
Sorry.
joe rogan
But he was one of those guys that actively shielded people from prostitution.
steven crowder
I have a problem with that, and I think people toss religion into the same thing as people of faith, and Islam doesn't allow any sort of practice of faith or relationship, whatever you want to call it, outside of their very specifically prescribed doctrine.
joe rogan
When you talk about specifically prescribed doctrines, how much of the Bible do you believe is real?
steven crowder
Do you want to get into each and every issue of the Bible?
joe rogan
Well, how about dudes coming back from the dead?
steven crowder
I'm not going to get into it.
Here's what I think.
Here's what I think, Joe.
To be fair, and this might take a real turn where you might get angry, but I hope you don't.
I doubt it.
It's intellectual aikido when you do that.
You need to have a Dinesh D'Souza on, or a Lawrence Tisdall on, because you can say these things.
I'm not equipped for it.
I'm a blue belt.
I've looked at the swath of evidence and have made up my mind.
But if you say this stuff is crazy, well, I've made my decision, and it's likely to change.
And I'm likely, my faith has changed.
joe rogan
Has it changed in the past?
steven crowder
Yeah, I think certain parts of my faith have changed.
But my point is, until you have someone on like that who's qualifying to do it, the same people who are going to be talking about, sorry, 9-11 being an inside job, or whatever it is, someone who's just as qualified.
joe rogan
Wait, wait, who's qualified to talk about 9-11 being an inside job?
steven crowder
Black helicopters!
Yeah, black helicopters.
I'm saying, until you have someone on like that...
joe rogan
Jet fuel doesn't melt!
steven crowder
Let me finish this point.
This is important.
Until you have someone on like that, you're doing a monkey fist and Joe Rogan baby monkey.
I would do that and do that with my opponent.
joe rogan
Kung fu guy.
steven crowder
You're doing that intellectually because you're not having someone who would be able to argue those points.
I'm not here to argue.
joe rogan
In all fairness, guess what?
I can't argue those points either.
If you have someone like that, I would have to bring on an actual religious scholar who's an atheist.
steven crowder
Yeah, but I mean, you know, you obviously have your, you push it, and you have every right to.
It's your program.
joe rogan
And you do as well.
If you go on and say that you're a Christian, and I say, well, what do you believe?
steven crowder
Yeah.
joe rogan
I think just between two gentlemen, that's a fair discussion.
steven crowder
Yeah, but it's no, there's no doubt that the way you approach it is certainly more aggressive than someone who's an atheist.
joe rogan
Than someone who is an atheist?
steven crowder
Yeah.
You give them more of a pass than someone who maybe claims to be a Christian.
But that's not even the main focus on what I talk about.
You know, guns, free speech.
joe rogan
I'm saying, okay, I got confused.
So you're saying, I give atheists more of a pass?
steven crowder
Yeah, you give them more leeway.
joe rogan
Oh.
steven crowder
And my point is...
joe rogan
Well, they don't believe in anything, but I do...
steven crowder
Sure they do.
Sure they do.
Millions and millions of people killed in the name of atheism.
Stalin, Mao...
joe rogan
No, no, no, no.
Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes.
That's not what I mean.
steven crowder
No, but I'm talking about they do believe in ideology, a lot of them.
There is an atheist ideology, the New Atheism.
joe rogan
Okay, but the atheist ideology doesn't involve mysticism.
It's magic.
Right?
steven crowder
Some of it does.
joe rogan
What?
Like, what does?
steven crowder
When you have people who don't...
Well, let's use it this way, right?
Let's say I don't understand the Bible in its entirety.
I'm not a theologian.
Do you really think the people who are going to be right now going, this guy's a dumbass, understand the intricate science of the Big Bang?
joe rogan
Well, I don't think anybody understands the Big Bang.
steven crowder
No, they don't.
joe rogan
No one does.
steven crowder
Richard Dawkins doesn't understand it.
joe rogan
They're like, oh, I'm pretty sure something happened.
steven crowder
There's no mysticism to that?
joe rogan
Well, there's definitely.
I mean, Terrence McKenna had this brilliant thing about science, you know, and he was saying that science wants one miracle.
They want one miracle.
Give us one miracle and then we'll allow everything else.
We'll figure out.
We'll explain to you multi-celled organisms.
We'll explain to you carbon molecules.
What we want is one miracle.
steven crowder
How did life come from not life?
joe rogan
No, the Big Bang itself is the one miracle.
steven crowder
I mean, how did something come from nothing?
joe rogan
Well, not just something come from nothing.
How does something smaller than the head of the pin explode and become the entire universe?
How does something that has so much mass and is so fucking infinitely small, why does it explode?
Like, why does it explode?
unidentified
Right.
joe rogan
No, even saying that the Big Bang existed, I've never heard someone adequately explain, maybe I'm wrong, but adequately explain why it happened.
Right.
I don't think they know.
steven crowder
Well, yes.
And my point is- Do they?
joe rogan
Does anybody know?
steven crowder
No.
joe rogan
Does anybody say they know?
steven crowder
Not that I know of.
joe rogan
I don't think they say they know.
steven crowder
And that's what Ben Carson argues about.
People go, he's a dumbass.
Like, well, he's a neurosurgeon.
joe rogan
Well, the Big Bang is one of the ones that I think you gotta go, well, I think they think that this happened because they have, you know, radio frequencies that they can discover and they can monitor and measure and we know...
steven crowder
Well, Dawkins' explanation, I mean, how do you say there's no mysticism that maybe these cells came on the back of crystals?
joe rogan
What is that?
steven crowder
Yeah, that's what he said in the movie with Ben Stein.
Well, maybe we think that maybe some of these molecules came in, you know, on the backs of foreign crystals.
joe rogan
Foreign crystals?
steven crowder
Yeah, crystals came in the Big Bang.
How do we get this life?
I mean, it was questioned on it.
I'm thinking, that sounds mystical to me.
I think at a certain point, something has taken on faith.
My point is this.
What we're arguing about is Islam, Christianity, all others.
We're talking pragmatically.
What's the effect?
What's the geopolitical effect?
What are the ramifications?
unidentified
Mm-hmm.
steven crowder
I think it's really easy to simplify, and you want people in the comments section going, so you believe in zombie Jesus who, you know, didn't exist?
joe rogan
That's what I'm saying.
steven crowder
Yeah, it's just as easy for someone to say, so you, someone who's not a, not you, but you in your, you know, lounge chair with a box of Cheez-Its who has no concept of science.
joe rogan
Again, you're demeaning these poor people.
steven crowder
Has no concept of science whatsoever.
joe rogan
Jerking off into a sock.
steven crowder
Believes that a bang happened and all of a sudden Joe Rogan's drinking his fresh French press.
You can simplify anything and make it sound absurd.
And that's why I go back to I think they're smart people, smarter than me on both sides, and my mind is likely to change.
My mind is not likely to change in the Second Amendment.
My mind is not likely to change on free speech.
It's not likely to change in the fact that Mohammed was a bastard.
joe rogan
Well, I'm certainly with you on a lot of that.
I think that what they're talking about when they're talking about mystical occurrences during the time period of written history, which is what they're talking about when you're talking about the age of Jesus, these are like times where we do understand the parameters of actual possible Things that could have happened.
steven crowder
Sure.
joe rogan
You know, like people coming back from the dead.
We have no evidence ever that anybody's ever been able to come back from the dead.
I mean, it doesn't seem likely that that's true.
steven crowder
Yeah, but that's a whole different conversation.
joe rogan
Well, we also know that people are full of shit.
steven crowder
Is there a possibility of a miracle?
Which you require for the Big Bang, and I require for someone returning from the dead.
joe rogan
I don't necessarily think I require a miracle for the Big Bang.
I think there's missing science.
I think that there's...
Look, first of all...
steven crowder
And there's missing evidence from the...
You know, a good example, right?
This argument you're using right now.
Okay.
I'm not a theologian.
I'm not an apologist.
joe rogan
What argument?
steven crowder
But an argument that was used for a long time is kind of what you're saying.
There's no proof of this.
Well, for the longest time, people said, because David was this huge influential historical figure, right?
And they're going, well, David, up until 1993, they're going, this is a guy, this giant kingdom, right?
This is the guy.
There should be some historical evidence.
And there's none.
Until 1993, boom, more evidence than you could possibly imagine on David, his name on Marblestone.
Here is David.
Here is his kingdom.
As a historical figure, Now, nobody denies that he existed, and nobody denies that the lineage of the kings who were listed in the Old Testament existed when they claimed to exist.
Now, before that, the big argument was there would be some kind of proof of King David, and there isn't.
So, absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.
joe rogan
Yeah, the real issue with that argument is anytime you're dealing with things that are 2,000 years old plus, like, good luck finding anything.
steven crowder
Yeah, but we did.
joe rogan
Yeah, I mean, we find some things, but I'm arguing for you.
I'm saying that something doesn't exist because we haven't found evidence.
Boy, there's not a lot of evidence from 2,000 years ago.
unidentified
Right.
joe rogan
I mean, that is a long fucking time.
And 2,000 years of erosion and water and natural disasters and all.
I mean, everything gets lost.
steven crowder
Well, you have a great bit on that.
And I actually had a bit similar that sucked.
And I axed it.
Because you said it better.
It was, if I send you into the forest, how long before you send me an email?
joe rogan
If I send you into the woods with a hatchet, how long you can send me anymore?
steven crowder
Sorry, I butchered it.
It's a great bit.
It simplifies it.
And I was like, I had a bit about going back to the witch trials and trying to explain to them germ theory in a microscope, and it just didn't work.
And I heard you do that, and I was like, all right, well, I'm just getting rid of that bit.
joe rogan
Well, my bit was about dumb people outbreeding smart people.
And by the way, this came out before that...
What is that movie about retards?
Yeah.
Idiocracy.
Idiocracy.
It came out, the bit was on TV before Idiocracy.
Okay, so people are like, you stole a bit.
Nope.
It was actually before that.
steven crowder
It's almost exactly like yours on Vegans and Milk.
joe rogan
Oh.
steven crowder
But I'm not axing it because I like it.
joe rogan
Keep it going.
Anything, I'm on your...
unidentified
I have your permission?
joe rogan
I'll let you steal my shit.
It's already on TV. There's evidence of me doing it back to 08. Well, I was doing it before that.
steven crowder
Were you doing the vegan bit before 8?
joe rogan
Milk?
Yeah, it had to be formed.
It took a while.
steven crowder
Yeah, I have like a 25-minute vegan bit.
joe rogan
I put it on TV, I think, in 2013?
14?
steven crowder
It was in Colorado, Rocky Mountain.
joe rogan
Yeah, but I had ideas for that for a while.
The milk part was just one part of it.
The real part was about the won't shut the fuck up about being vegans.
But the thing about the idiocracy thing was about the pyramids.
It was about dumb people outbreeding smart people.
What would we do if one day no one fucked the smart people and we didn't even realize that they died off.
And then one day the power just shuts off.
And what do you do when the power shuts off?
I don't know what you do, but I just sit around and wait.
Because I figure, well, there's somebody fixing that shit.
But after a while, we'd be wandering through the streets like, who's fucking turning the power?
Is anybody?
Do you guys know?
Nothing?
You hear anything?
Fuck!
steven crowder
If this mic goes out, you're like, well, okay, there's a wire here, and it plugs in there, and that's about the extent of your knowledge.
joe rogan
There's very few people, because of the compartmentalization of our society, there's very few people, if any, that understand all of it, that understand the power That understand the water grid, that understand the purification of the water, that understand the government, that understand the computers, technology, the internet.
There's very few people that could recreate all the things.
And most of us rely on a bunch of other people that are experts in order to keep this insane machine that we call technology going.
So my theory on the pyramids was that dumb people outfuck the smart people.
And left behind this whole thing and then the dumb people would show up.
There was no one in the pyramid.
They're like, hello!
We're supposed to get our checks on Friday!
And there's nobody there.
steven crowder
I think somewhere there's some ethnocentricity down there that needs to be protested.
joe rogan
Well, there was the thing, the burning of the Library of Alexandria.
I mean, that really is kind of evidence of that.
That's what really would happen.
I mean, that's the other thing that people, like, a lot of black people or African Americans want to talk about, you know, the pyramids and that the pyramids were built by black people.
But they were built by Africans, for sure, because Egypt was Africa and it is in Africa.
Right.
The people from the South, like, there was blacker Africans that came in and killed the Egyptians that were there, and that's why the Sphinx has an African face, has an African-looking face, as opposed to you look at...
steven crowder
Define African face.
joe rogan
Wide nostrils, thick lips.
steven crowder
Yeah, don't you love with Sean King?
joe rogan
Yeah.
steven crowder
The pictures of him as a kid, strawberry blonde.
Do you see him?
joe rogan
Yes.
steven crowder
Like, strawberry blonde curls?
And every picture he takes, he's flaring his nostrils.
He's breathing in.
And, like, that is the most racist thing.
It's like, hold on, let me get a black-looking picture.
joe rogan
Do I look more black?
I'd do that.
steven crowder
You look kind of, like, gorilla-y.
joe rogan
What are you trying to say?
Black people look like gorillas?
steven crowder
No, you.
joe rogan
You son of a bitch.
I can't believe you.
steven crowder
Well, that's what just happened with Quentin Tarantino.
Did you see that?
Where he said these savage think pieces people wrote about me, and they go, he said savage.
He's calling black people savages.
And it's like...
That's the thing with these, you know, Quentin Tarantino is more leftist.
Same thing with Matt Damon.
I just love seeing these people are progressive and they like to separate from themselves and the social justice warrior cult.
It's the monster.
They've created it.
They deserve to be devoured.
joe rogan
Well, Amy Schumer got attacked.
She got attacked for some of the bits that she did on her show.
steven crowder
Well, she's up on stage pushing gun control with her third cousin twice removed.
I think she deserves it.
joe rogan
Well, you do realize that she had a movie that came out, and there was a mass shooting in the movie theater where her movie was being played.
I mean, that's got to fuck with your head.
steven crowder
Yeah, yeah, I'm sure.
Oh, they were playing train wreck while some guy opened fire.
Therefore, I'm directly responsible, and I'm going to remove your right to self-preservation.
I don't follow the logic trail.
joe rogan
Is she trying to remove your right?
I mean, what is she trying to say?
I don't know what she's saying.
steven crowder
She's actually pushing legislation with Chuck there in New York.
joe rogan
Chuck who?
steven crowder
Schumer.
Senator.
It's part of her...
joe rogan
Oh, that is one of her cousins?
steven crowder
Like, third removed.
When she's up on stage pushing that...
You know, I talk about it.
When you have Sarah Silverman saying it's time for comedians to get with the times, and when you have Harrison Greenbaum coming on saying, I'll support free speech, but I won't support hate speech.
You know, you have a lot of comedians who came out and said that...
What Nicole Arbor said was just wildly offensive and fat-shaming.
joe rogan
Nicole Arbor's the girl with the YouTube video.
steven crowder
Yeah, the fat-shaming thing.
joe rogan
See, that YouTube video, I just thought, wasn't well done.
And I thought when she went on The View, first of all, you're walking right into the lion's den.
A bunch of chubby broads on that show, you know?
steven crowder
They've come to Raven-Symoné now.
joe rogan
Well, what's really hilarious is one of their arguments was, you know, a lot of people just get addicted to certain foods.
I think that's what she's saying.
steven crowder
Well, yeah, Michelle Collins, comedian in there.
Joy Behar, comedian.
And they're giving her the rules on comedy.
joe rogan
Well, she didn't do a good job defending herself because she tried to do schtick.
steven crowder
No, no, no.
joe rogan
I'm more offended about my hair.
steven crowder
No, I'm not going to do that.
Michelle Collins and Joy Behar should absolutely feel ashamed for telling her.
Like, Joy Behar's going, you know, but listen, you're a skinny blonde, you know, whatever.
I make my jokes because I'm fat.
I first joke about myself.
You have to be...
So really, Joy Behar?
You're a Christian conservative?
Because that's who you make fun of all the time.
It's a stupid, stupid idea.
Now they're prescribing rules of comedy once they're offended.
And I won't go down that trail at all.
And I don't think Nicole Arbor's funny.
But that's what they're going to do.
They're going to attack you and say, I don't think you're funny, therefore you shouldn't say this.
They're not going to say.
joe rogan
I couldn't agree more in that way.
Yeah, and I think that what she did was kind of clunky.
But, you know, she's not, I don't think she's a real stand-up.
steven crowder
Yeah, she is.
joe rogan
Is she?
steven crowder
Yeah, from Canada.
She's not fantastic, but she's a stand-up.
joe rogan
Like I said, I don't think she's a real stand-up.
steven crowder
Now, listen.
You know what, though?
Think about it, though.
joe rogan
I really believe that you're kind of in America.
steven crowder
Canada?
unidentified
Sort of.
joe rogan
It's North America.
steven crowder
Really?
Do you want to get it?
joe rogan
Sort of.
steven crowder
So I guess all those Canadians there on the shows in which you took part, they were idiots?
They weren't funny?
joe rogan
Listen, very funny guys, not stand-ups.
steven crowder
Yeah, but they're still comedians.
joe rogan
How about that?
Well, you know...
steven crowder
Comedian actually in French Canadian means actor, too.
joe rogan
I think I asked if they were stand-ups.
steven crowder
Oh, okay, stand-ups.
Well, she did do stand-ups.
joe rogan
Dave Foley's actually doing stand-up now.
At least he was for a while.
Last time I spoke to him, he's started doing stand-up to pay the bills.
He's got a horrible, horrible, horrible divorce story.
Dave Foley, if you go and Google the Dave Foley divorce story, I believe it's online in a YouTube clip that Brandon made.
It's fucking insane.
steven crowder
But my point is, let's go back.
This is important.
joe rogan
Okay.
steven crowder
Michelle Collins, Joy Behar, Sarah Silverman, Amy Schumer.
That should...
Just have your B.S. meter flinging on.
It should be firing so hot you're catching ghosts.
joe rogan
About this fat shaming thing?
steven crowder
No, not that, but when Sarah Silverman says it's not hard to get with the times.
When Amy Schumer pushes for gun control...
joe rogan
Well, what is Sarah Silverman saying that about?
About gun control?
steven crowder
No, she was saying that about comedy.
When she was asked about what is allowable and what's not, she's like, well, you know, I defend free speech, but yeah, it's not hard to get with the times.
Like, I used to say gay, and I don't think you should say that.
joe rogan
Like, that's gay?
steven crowder
Yeah.
But it's not about that's gay.
joe rogan
Mm-hmm.
steven crowder
It's about either it's all okay.
Jim Norton makes a great art.
People don't acknowledge how intelligent he is.
joe rogan
Oh, he's very intelligent.
I love Jim Norton.
steven crowder
It's either all okay or none of it's okay.
joe rogan
Well, I had a whole bit about this in my last special.
You probably saw like the whole thing about not being able to joke about things.
steven crowder
Right.
joe rogan
You know, and I'm saying when I say things on stage, when I'm joking, I do not mean them.
I say a bunch of crazy shit, and the reason I say that crazy shit is because it's funny.
And if it's not funny, I wouldn't say it.
But there's some things that I say that are absolutely not true.
And I say them just because they're funny.
But there's some things that are true.
Like, here's one.
My wife is tired of fucking me.
I go, but she's still...
It's true.
But she doesn't say no, because if she did it, I'd rape her.
See, that's not true.
I joke around.
I go, I wouldn't rape her.
The worst I do is hold her down, titty fuck her butt cheeks.
That's not true either.
I wouldn't do that either.
And it's like this whole series of things, it gets more and more preposterous.
I go, I'm joking.
Do you get it?
You see how it's going on here?
I'm not raping anybody.
She's like one of my favorite people.
I wouldn't rape- and then I'd say the rest of it.
But it's like the idea is- Do you know a thing of feminism?
Stand-up is not truth.
It is sometimes truth.
steven crowder
Right.
joe rogan
But it is what is funny.
steven crowder
Well, just like Marilyn Manson.
joe rogan
And I assume that you know I'm fucking around.
steven crowder
Right.
No, you can't anymore.
And here's the thing.
The progressive left, sorry, like Silverman's, the Schumer's, the Harrison Greenbaum's, the Joy Behar's, the Michelle Collins.
unidentified
Why are you apologizing?
joe rogan
Why are you saying sorry and then doing it?
steven crowder
Well, I'm saying sorry these names because I know they're probably your friends.
joe rogan
Well, Amy's my friend and Sarah's my friend.
steven crowder
Yeah, and I really enjoyed their...
I mean, I was a kid when they were doing stand-up, you know?
joe rogan
I think Sarah's one of the best comics on the planet.
I really do.
steven crowder
But she was a shock.
Of course, that was a big part of her act.
Yes, it still is.
And now she's saying it's not hard to get with the time.
So really what she's saying is you can joke about this, but don't joke about this.
And it's sort of like the wealthy 1% protecting their wealth.
A lot of these established comedians now say, well, what applies to you didn't apply to me.
And that's something a lot of these kids now, you're going to see it migrate.
The people who are the real free speech warriors, like the Sargons of a cat, like the Karen Strawns.
Maybe they're not All comedians, but they're going to be online because stand-up is not the environment that you came up in.
You may be able to say what you want to say, but let me paint a picture for you.
joe rogan
Okay.
steven crowder
Because you're super wealthy and you're successful and I'm not worthy.
But I'm talking about the kid who's coming up in, I don't know, Omaha, Nebraska, or maybe even here at the Laugh Factory, open mic night.
joe rogan
Don't do the Laugh Factory open mic night.
They make you stay in line all fucking day and then you come back a week later.
It's bullshit.
steven crowder
The point is, that kid gets up and makes a tranny joke, right?
Someone complains and threatens with a lawsuit.
Maybe the booker isn't a social justice warrior, but you think he's going to say, you know what, let's just book another comic.
I'm not going to take that risk.
That's what happens.
And for me to see comedians supporting it, I think you're seeing sort of a passing of the guard with stand-up to a lot of these truth-tellers online because they're not beholden to those rules.
joe rogan
Right.
I see what you're saying.
I don't know what Sarah meant when she said that.
I don't know what context she said it in.
unidentified
That's fair.
joe rogan
But when you say that she's a shock comic, most of her shocking stuff was kind of self-deprecating.
Like, most of her shock...
I mean, she wasn't attacking people.
steven crowder
Well, Jesus' magic was...
If you look at it, there was a lot of stuff that was designed to prod Christians, which is fine.
It's funny.
But Christians don't try and kill you.
joe rogan
Right.
I see what you're saying.
steven crowder
I haven't seen her deal with Islam.
joe rogan
I had a CD called Shiny Happy Jihad.
steven crowder
I saw that.
unidentified
Yeah.
steven crowder
Yeah, it was good.
joe rogan
It was a little risky.
steven crowder
It was a little risky, but it wasn't risky like what you did.
joe rogan
What you did in YouTube, that was way more risky.
steven crowder
Oh, thank you, Joe.
joe rogan
Yeah, mine was just jokes about, like, suicide bombers.
But mine jokes were, like, you know, that I don't understand suicide bombing because I was raised Catholic.
Like, no Catholics believe in it that much.
steven crowder
Right.
joe rogan
Like, there's never going to be a Catholic suicide bomber because we just don't believe in it that much.
steven crowder
Well, I'm incredibly critical of Catholicism, you know, being raised in Quebec.
People don't understand that in the United States, first off, all the rights you're talking about, ironically, when you're saying you don't want a rigid religion, those rights come from people who said they came from God.
It doesn't come from man.
It doesn't come from law.
So that is a part of our laws here.
joe rogan
Well, it also came from people that didn't have the internet.
They were writing things down with feathers.
steven crowder
No, but I'm talking about where they come from.
That was very unique.
This was the first society that said, okay, these rights don't come from us.
They come from God.
That was why freedom of speech exists here.
joe rogan
Right.
But it's also the first society to establish itself, the difference between church and state.
steven crowder
Yes.
No, exactly.
And if you read the, you know, like, for example, the separation of church and state doesn't exist.
It's not in the Constitution.
It's written from a, taken from a private letter from Thomas Jefferson to the Danbury Baptist, where he was talking about no establishment of a state denomination because they were afraid of a certain denomination taken over.
Fast forward Quebec, where I was raised, I went to public school.
I went to Catholic school.
Catholicism is the provincial denomination in Quebec.
The United States didn't want that, and a big portion of it is if you look in Europe and you look in Canada where Catholicism was so overbearing, and you have these beautiful cathedrals in Montreal that are entirely empty.
People reject the oppressive thumb of religion, and that's why more Christians exist in the United States, not because they're stupid and they're bumpkins, but because they didn't have the oppressive religion, so they didn't reject it as readily.
joe rogan
I see.
steven crowder
That makes sense?
joe rogan
Yeah, so your public school was a religious school.
steven crowder
Yeah, it was.
And I was not a Catholic.
I got sent home quite a few times for arguing with the teachers.
joe rogan
What did you argue about?
steven crowder
Well, I bitched when I wasn't allowed to take communion because I had taken communion with my parents for a long time.
And my dad was like, do you understand what this is?
Yeah, I understand.
He goes, okay, explain it to me.
Okay, fine, you can take the bread from the basket.
But in a Catholic church, you can't do it.
It's a whole ceremony.
joe rogan
Why couldn't you?
steven crowder
Because I wasn't Catholic.
Because you didn't get baptized.
joe rogan
I mean, you didn't go through a catechism.
Right, all that.
steven crowder
And then I also had one, and this will sound really silly to the atheist audience who aren't Christians, so I'll get off it.
But the teacher was talking about, what's a saint, kids?
And my school was St. Francis of Assisi.
And my parents were always really clear.
Like, I had a dad who gave me the sex talk when I was three.
He gave me sort of...
joe rogan
Damn.
steven crowder
I got a call home in preschool.
My dad sounds like a Home Alone crook.
joe rogan
It's like, no, that's like Tom Rivera's joke.
Yeah.
steven crowder
Well, he didn't want me to learn about it in school and think it was dirty.
joe rogan
Oh, okay.
steven crowder
So I got it really young.
And I actually, in preschool, Catholic school, they were talking about, what's funny, her name was Miss Mary.
And her daughter was in my class, Monica.
And so she was giving us the whole, like, stork business.
And this is in preschool.
Like, I'm four or five.
And I go, no, that's not.
Let me break it down for you.
That's not how it works.
And then her daughter was in class.
So whatever lie she tells at home, she has to keep a lie for the class because her daughter's there.
joe rogan
Right.
steven crowder
So her daughter's like, there's no egg.
It's a tin can and a tummy and a baby growth and a tin can.
And at this point, I'm going like, well, my dad told me, you know, penis, vagina, egg sale, fertilization, you know.
joe rogan
How old were you?
steven crowder
I would have been four.
joe rogan
So four, she's talking about tin cans?
steven crowder
She's talking about tin cans.
And I go up to the teacher.
I'm like, well, you know, Monica's saying it's a tin can.
Tell her it's an egg.
She goes, Stephen, it's a tin can, like a pecan.
joe rogan
Oh, what a bitch.
steven crowder
And I go home.
joe rogan
Lying to your kid, lying to me.
steven crowder
Well, I go home and I'm harassing my dad.
I go, Dad, is there like a can in a woman's stomach?
And this is just who my dad is.
He never baby talked to us.
He just goes, no, that's the stupidest thing I've ever heard in my life.
I wouldn't lie to you.
And that was it.
joe rogan
Wow.
steven crowder
So I knew that stuff.
joe rogan
So you got in trouble for that?
steven crowder
Well, yeah, because she had to keep the life for her daughter.
joe rogan
But, like, what kind of trouble?
Did they kick you off?
steven crowder
Well, they called home, like, Stephen's being inappropriate.
joe rogan
Wow.
If that was my fucking kid, if I went to school and this dumb cunt is trying to tell my kid that there's a tin can growing inside some woman's uterus...
Jesus Christ.
steven crowder
Well, my dad did.
My dad went in and we had a teacher, well, I'll say her name because I can't stand her, Mrs. Lake.
She kicked me out of class, Mrs. Lake.
You know why she kicked me out of class?
joe rogan
Why?
steven crowder
Because I said there were 50 states.
unidentified
She argued there were 52. What were the other two?
steven crowder
Alaska and Hawaii.
joe rogan
But that's 48 and the lower 48. You don't have to tell me, Joe!
unidentified
You don't have to tell me!
joe rogan
Well, didn't Obama fuck that up?
He said 57. I think Obama fucked that up.
57. Did he say 57?
steven crowder
Yeah.
joe rogan
I thought he said 52 as well.
steven crowder
No, I said 57. I mean, it's a word slip.
joe rogan
He was probably really tired, too.
steven crowder
Yeah, it's a word slip.
joe rogan
When he was running for president, you might not know how fucking tired that guy must have been.
It was when he was running, right?
Yeah, wasn't it?
steven crowder
Especially with how much he drinks.
joe rogan
Does he drink a lot?
steven crowder
Yeah, it was his annual physical that came back like, oh, you're mostly good, just stop drinking so much.
joe rogan
Really?
How do you know this?
steven crowder
Well, it was released.
Yeah, people talked about his annual physical.
Did you ever see George Bush's physical?
joe rogan
No.
steven crowder
You may not like him, but you never saw it?
He was running marathons.
His last year of his presidency benched 205 for five reps.
joe rogan
That's pretty good.
steven crowder
For an old dude.
joe rogan
That's not bad.
steven crowder
He's got that, like, chimpanzee wiry strength, you know what I mean?
Like that old Charles Bronson deal.
joe rogan
Yeah, well, he does a lot of really shitty paintings, too.
You ever see his artwork?
You've never seen his artwork?
steven crowder
I haven't, no.
joe rogan
Oh, it's really horrendously bad.
steven crowder
Perfect segue.
joe rogan
Yeah, that's right.
steven crowder
Want to bring up Lena Dunham's dad's paintings?
joe rogan
Yeah, well, I want to also bring up why we keep bringing her up.
You had a really good video that I saw.
steven crowder
Because she sucks, that's why we're bringing her up.
joe rogan
How dare you?
I don't know her.
I don't know you, Lena.
I'm sure you're a very nice person.
She's not.
But the video was very interesting because you were talking about this whole story where she had come up with this book, and in the book she was talking about a time that she was raped.
But you highlighted her actual words that when she was with this guy, she started talking dirty to him.
This is before they even had sex.
steven crowder
Yeah.
joe rogan
She started talking dirty and asking him if he wanted to do this and he wanted to do that and then he did those things and then her friends are saying, oh my god, you got raped.
steven crowder
I was raped?
Really?
joe rogan
What kind of a fucking world are we living in that people are talking about that and not highlighting the ambiguity of talking dirty to somebody, not highlighting the mixed signals and you went over that, I thought, very respectfully.
steven crowder
I thought you did it very- Oh, and I failed.
It wasn't meant to be respectful at all.
joe rogan
Well, you were honest about it.
You weren't insulting.
steven crowder
Oh, I was insulting.
I dressed up like Lena Dunham.
joe rogan
Yeah?
steven crowder
That's trans face now.
joe rogan
But if you dress up like me, if you're a girl and you wear this fucking shirt, am I going to be insulted?
unidentified
I don't know.
joe rogan
That's not insulting to me.
If you dress like me, I'm not going to get insulted.
steven crowder
If I'm ever invited back, I'll come in like you.
joe rogan
Well, you would be a guy dressing like a guy.
But I'm saying if you were a girl and you dressed like me, would I be like, that insulting bitch!
Like, why would that be insulting?
I don't understand that.
steven crowder
Well, because I mocked her.
joe rogan
Well, you mocked what she said, and you also mocked it because it was being paraded around as if it made sense.
And it's fucking confusing.
steven crowder
Well, that's the whole problem.
joe rogan
There's you.
Are you wearing a wig?
steven crowder
Yeah, it's a Bieber wig.
She's changed her hair so many times, she has a little Lord Faunal Ray haircut.
joe rogan
Yeah, I guess this is old.
steven crowder
Yeah, I was pretty mocking.
No, that's an old one.
joe rogan
You did more than one.
This is a parody one.
The other one, you weren't dressed like that.
steven crowder
No, I was.
I have my standard Lena Dunham outfit.
My point is, the media doesn't call her on it.
And so, and this is where I talk about, we all have blind spots.
joe rogan
Well, not only did they not talk, they didn't call her on it, they didn't make her explain how, like, this is a, like, if you could, tell the story, because a lot of people probably don't know what we're even talking about.
Tell the story that is in her book.
steven crowder
Um...
So Lena Dunham claims she was raped in her book.
She claims she was raped by a mustachioed Republican.
She codenamed him Barry.
She said it was a night where muscle relaxers, Xanax and alcohol took him back to her place.
She was peeing in a parking lot and he stuck his fingers in her nether regions.
And then she got home and she wasn't sure how she felt about it.
And she went ahead with it, talked dirty to him.
Then I think while they were finishing up, she saw a condom in the house plant and realized he had taken off a condom.
And then the next morning, her friends told her she had been raped.
So everyone runs with this and they hold her out as this rape survivor.
And here's the thing.
It's not that hard to track down the guy she's talking about.
I'm not a journalist.
It took about three or four phone calls.
And I won't get into that.
I really don't want to get into that because the guy obviously, you know, can destroy his life.
He's accused of raping someone who has a wife and kids.
Here's the thing, too.
joe rogan
He wasn't a Republican either, right?
steven crowder
Again, I don't want to get into the personal stuff.
No need to.
Because I don't want to destroy his life.
People say rape destroys your life.
It does.
But falsely accusing a guy of rape is incredibly destructive as well.
And they don't have any recourse.
The legal system is entirely designed to prosecute.
End of story.
Same thing if you want to get custody of your kids.
So no one called her on it.
And that's what I did the video on.
That if this is a huge disservice to rape victims, to women who are I will tell you this.
I don't believe that statistic.
In the general population, it's far less.
But at, like, feminist film festivals, I think four out of three women are raped.
Everyone there claims to have been raped.
And you'd think, you know, the more attractive you are, the chances of being raped would go up, right?
I'm not robbing family dollar.
I'm going to go for the jeweler.
But apparently there's just an epidemic of purple-pitted, fatty, androgynous, ambiguous feminists just getting raped by roaming packs.
That's what they want us to believe.
joe rogan
Well, it depends on how you define rape, because regret is rape.
steven crowder
All regretful PNV, what they teach in college.
PNV? Penis and vagina.
Regretful penis and vagina is rape.
joe rogan
Yeah, that one is a really weird one to me.
I talked to Thaddeus Russell on the podcast about Occidental College, where they had that case where...
These two kids got drunk, and they had sex, and the girl was saying to her friends, I'm about to get laid, lol.
You know, are you coming over?
Do you have condoms?
Texting this guy.
Guy comes over, they have sex.
Afterwards, she decides, someone decides that it was rape because she was intoxicated.
Completely ignoring the fact that he was intoxicated as well.
They were both drunk kids that had sex.
And you know what, man?
When I was young, that's what it was.
It was drunk people had sex.
And nobody felt like they got raped because they were drunk.
steven crowder
My wife rapes me on the regular.
joe rogan
People make mistakes.
I've had sex with people.
After it was over, I was like, I probably shouldn't drink so much.
We've all been there before.
steven crowder
You went hawking?
joe rogan
We've all been there before!
Everybody who drinks and is young, and especially when you're young, you don't really know how to drink well, you don't have a large database of things to pull back from.
Like, okay, I've been down this road before, the third shot of Jack is where shit goes downhill.
Right.
steven crowder
That's when the purple-haired 5x5 feminist starts looking pretty good.
joe rogan
People make mistakes, man.
And you can't say that it's a fucking crime because you both engage in a consensual activity, but you don't like it after it was over.
steven crowder
It doesn't matter.
joe rogan
But my point was that kid, the boy, got kicked out of the college.
The girl stayed.
They were both exactly They both participated.
They both were agreeable.
I mean, she asked him, come over.
Do you have condoms?
He said, I'm on my way.
They got together.
They had sex.
And because there was alcohol involved, the girl was raped.
Which is insane.
steven crowder
Well, mattress girl.
Another one.
Almost invariably, these cases come up, and they're just lies.
They're just false.
joe rogan
Well, the Rolling Stones story.
steven crowder
Yeah, the Rolling Stones story.
But Lena Dunham is so bad, because then she's holding herself out as this rape survivor.
And she's molested her little sister, and she's just a bad human being.
And you can bring up her dad's paintings, Carol Dunham.
I mean, there's some weird stuff.
joe rogan
His name's Carol?
steven crowder
Yeah, Carol.
Can we bring that up?
joe rogan
Her dad's named Carol?
steven crowder
Can we do this?
joe rogan
Are dudes named Carol?
Carol Shelby.
steven crowder
That's all he drew.
joe rogan
Wait a minute.
What the fuck is that?
steven crowder
That's her dad's painting.
joe rogan
Oh my god.
Her dad's got a painting of a woman, her ass?
steven crowder
No, no, not A. That's all he drew.
That was his thing.
joe rogan
Just a woman from behind, asses and vaginas.
steven crowder
Angry vaginas.
joe rogan
In this weird cart.
Yeah, they're like baboon asses.
steven crowder
Yeah.
Now, you don't think some weird stuff went on in that household?
unidentified
Whoa!
joe rogan
And this is the girl...
I mean, she...
What did she do to her sister?
There was something that she admitted that she'd done.
steven crowder
Something like she reached in with her fingers, she said, because her sister put pebbles in her vagina.
And she also said she would, like...
She acted like a predator where she would try and lure her sister, like pay her to kiss her.
And she masturbated in bed next to her little sister.
joe rogan
What the fuck are these drawings?
steven crowder
Yeah!
You want to tell me this is a healthy, balanced individual?
Come on.
Like, let's just add up, you can't guarantee it, but add up the pieces to the puzzle.
And she's the feminist.
She's the new Barbra Streisand, right?
She's out there.
And my issue was the media didn't call her on her.
Front page HuffPo, CNN, MSNBC, Lena Dunham bravely comes out about being a rape survivor.
And when I see leftists going, the corporate media man, and they're buying Lena Dunham wholesale, that's what bothers me.
Look at that one!
joe rogan
That's just disgusting.
These pictures are fucking strange.
You know, have you ever seen Jack Kevorkian's drawings?
steven crowder
I saw, yeah, some of them.
joe rogan
Yeah, like, what the fuck, dude?
steven crowder
This is kind of along those lines.
joe rogan
Along those lines, where it's like, okay.
I mean, I'm a big fan of artistic freedom.
You should be able to do whatever the fuck you want, but can we not show this on YouTube?
Is that why you're not putting it up online?
Oh, okay.
People are gonna have to say they're over 18. Well, it just seems to me like, God damn it, man.
This is really weird shit.
steven crowder
So she's raising that.
joe rogan
It's objectification, too.
I mean, this isn't just a beautiful woman.
steven crowder
There's no face.
It's just an angry vagina.
joe rogan
That's what I'm saying.
unidentified
And a butthole.
joe rogan
Well, they're all buttholes and angry vaginas.
And when you do get a head-on view, Jamie, click on the one above, the head-on view.
You don't see the face.
Look at that girl that, like, in the middle there on that...
Yeah, right there.
steven crowder
That looks like something from the ring.
joe rogan
Exactly.
steven crowder
It's creepy.
joe rogan
What the fuck is going on with her nipples?
First of all, she looks like she's dead and drowning, right?
Or she's drowned and now she's pale and white.
That looks like a drowning victim.
Like, her legs are underwater.
steven crowder
He would claim it's pointing out the irony or the...
I don't know.
It's just so silly and patriarchy.
So that's my point is she's emblematic of everything that's wrong with social justice warrior culture.
And her show just sucks.
She's unfunny.
joe rogan
What show is that?
Girls on HBO. I've never seen it.
steven crowder
Well, you know what's the perfect example, right?
You hear about it everywhere.
All these Emmys, they're lucky to get 600,000 viewers on Girls.
The ratings are terrible, but HBO wants to push it because they believe the messaging is important.
joe rogan
What's the messaging?
steven crowder
It's all the feminist, leftist, tolerant BS that Lena Dunham pushes.
They've decided Lena Dunham is important enough that they're going to prop her up, despite the fact that an episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm or Game of Thrones can get ten times the viewership, but it's important for the rape survivor to have a show, and it's not true.
joe rogan
Is that really why you think they do it?
steven crowder
It's a for-profit enterprise.
Why would they do it otherwise?
joe rogan
Well, don't you think they think they do it because it balances out their programming or makes them seem more erudite?
steven crowder
Balances it out from what?
HBO is always to the left.
joe rogan
No one thinks Game of Thrones isn't to the left.
steven crowder
Game of Thrones is inconsequential.
It's the kind of kids who will argue.
joe rogan
It's fucking awesome.
First of all, watch your tongue, sir.
steven crowder
I'm not a big fan.
joe rogan
How dare you?
steven crowder
I'm not a big fan.
joe rogan
My friend Natasha Leggero, she calls it make-em-ups.
She doesn't like any fiction.
She's like, I don't like make-em-ups.
Because they just make shit up.
Like, oh, all of a sudden she gave birth to dragons.
You can't just make stuff up like that.
steven crowder
Well, you can in Game of Thrones.
joe rogan
Yeah.
steven crowder
I don't know.
I just couldn't get into it.
Walking Dead is my show.
joe rogan
Okay.
Here's my take on The Walking Dead.
The new one is fucking better.
steven crowder
I like The Walking Dead.
unidentified
It's better.
steven crowder
With the dead, he's always played a terrorist until this role.
He's only ever been...
joe rogan
Poor guy.
steven crowder
But you know what?
He broke out of it, man.
joe rogan
He did.
steven crowder
Good for him.
joe rogan
You know what?
steven crowder
Broke through the brown ceiling.
joe rogan
This is an episode, I don't want to bring it up, but when he went jog...
I don't want to bring it up.
What am I lying?
He went jogging, and he comes home, he's all sweaty, and then the next scene, he doesn't have any sweat, and then the next scene, he's sweaty.
steven crowder
In fear of walking back?
joe rogan
Yeah, they go back and forth for him being soaked with sweat and no sweat, and soaked with sweat.
Very, very shitty job.
Whoever was the set person that dealt with the wardrobe and continuity, the sweat spray.
steven crowder
Well, that's a real problem with girls, too.
Because Elena Dunham has a severe perspiration problem.
She doesn't shower as well.
joe rogan
What do you mean she doesn't shower?
steven crowder
I'm making stuff up.
I want to spread rumors.
unidentified
Oh, okay.
joe rogan
How dare you?
See, now you're part of the problem.
steven crowder
I'm just doing Elena Dunham.
joe rogan
But you are what you are is what they think you are, though.
steven crowder
I'm just joking.
joe rogan
You're being mean and vicious.
steven crowder
I am mean.
I am mean with someone like Elena Dunham.
You claim rape falsely.
I know someone very close to me who was raped.
The same thing, you know, my wife and I, we volunteer, but her more so at a special needs place.
And so when people feign this offense that retarded, I've watched special needs people call other special needs people retarded.
joe rogan
Well, the problem is retarded doesn't mean Down syndrome.
It just doesn't.
What they used to put on people's birth certificates when they were born with Down syndrome, they used to call them mongoloid idiots.
That was literally what they used to put the medical term for someone who had Down syndrome.
What retarded is to retard growth.
What does that mean?
You are slow.
You are behind.
If you're a fucking dummy, you're retarded.
steven crowder
Are you retarded?
Retard.
Like, excusez-moi, je suis un retard, means sorry I'm late.
Retard means to be late, to be slow to arrive.
And it comes from all the Romance languages come from Latin, and so that's where it comes from, which is like Negro.
It's not racist until people said it was racist, and they forgot to tell all the United Negro College funds.
joe rogan
Well, how about the NAACP? That's the craziest one.
National Association for the Advancement of Colored People?
Like, what?
But now we say people of color!
That was funny about that woman, you know, the Rachel Dolezal chick who was actually really white and pretended to be black and had the fake tan and all that jazz.
It's hilarious.
But what's hilarious is she is of color.
She's white.
You know, I mean, it was not only that, the NAACP was founded by white people, was made by white progressives.
And when it was founded, black people couldn't even hold, they couldn't be in a position of leadership.
They weren't allowed to, which is kind of fucked up.
steven crowder
Well, what's funny, what I find so funny about her is now the whole transphobic thing is a new movement.
joe rogan
I think she has a black baby inside of her.
steven crowder
Does she?
joe rogan
Yeah.
She's pregnant.
steven crowder
It's like a James Cameron sci-fi film?
joe rogan
Listen, she's pregnant and you know that she's fucking black eyes, right?
steven crowder
I don't know it for a fact.
joe rogan
I wouldn't doubt it.
I'm gonna bet a lot.
I'm gonna go all in.
I'm pushing the fucking pile of chips in that she fucked a black guy.
Not to say anything wrong with that.
I have no problem with that whatsoever.
I just want to say that right away.
But I think maybe she wanted to be a little more black.
steven crowder
Well, Sean King too.
I mean, listen, you have people who don't aspire to be architects.
They don't aspire to be scientists.
They aspire to be professional victims.
That's what you have with Sean King, as we have with Rachel Dolezal.
joe rogan
Well, there's money in that.
There's not just money.
I mean, I shouldn't say there's money in it, but what I should say is that there's success in that.
Oh, absolutely.
You can tap into that vein quite easily.
It doesn't require a lot of thinking.
And you immediately get people that won't challenge it.
Because it's one of those things.
If you become one of those people that becomes a professional victim, boy, you don't get challenged much.
It's just hands off.
steven crowder
And I can see the headlines right now at Salon.
Two white guys talk about the black American lifestyle.
joe rogan
Well, in all fairness, I am Sicilian mostly, and that means that I am of mixed heritage.
There's a black man hiding in a woodpile somewhere.
They were raped by the Moors.
You saw True Romance.
That's the fact.
My fucking grandparents are from Sicily.
steven crowder
There's a black man jumping out of the shed somewhere down with one of your female ancestors.
joe rogan
I think it's more of a dark Muslim character, right?
The Moors?
I think they were from Africa, though, right?
steven crowder
Here's one thing I thought about Rachel Dolezal.
You've got...
Do you think about her a lot?
I do.
I do.
The Sideshow Bob just does it for me.
joe rogan
Sideshow Bob?
steven crowder
Yeah, the Sideshow Bob hairdo.
unidentified
Oh.
joe rogan
I don't even know what that means, but it's funny.
steven crowder
The Simpsons, Sideshow Bomb?
Krusty sidekick?
joe rogan
That's where it's from.
steven crowder
Can you picture it now?
joe rogan
Yeah, I can.
steven crowder
Can you bring up Sideshow Bomb?
Think about this for a second.
joe rogan
Well, she had to do that.
Oh, that's hilarious!
unidentified
It's so perfect!
joe rogan
That's hilarious!
But she had to do that in order to look more black.
steven crowder
Well, here's what's so funny.
She did the black, white girl hair.
So she got the perm, but then she liked the light brown.
joe rogan
Let me compare it.
You're not the only one.
Look, who did it better?
steven crowder
Ha ha ha!
But here's the crazy thing, okay?
People say, well, transracial's not a thing.
Transgender's a thing.
joe rogan
Oh, why isn't it a thing?
steven crowder
Well, that's what I'm saying.
Look, Caitlyn Jenner, or Fallon Fox, right?
Caitlyn Jenner can go through hormone replacement therapy, get all the plastic surgery, start changing his voice, and guess what?
People see him, and they still realize that's a dude.
joe rogan
Well, you know what's really funny?
steven crowder
Rachel Dozo slapped on a tan and a perm and fooled the NAACP. You tell me what's more realistic.
joe rogan
Well, she did go to an all-black college, and she got a scholarship there, right?
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Would she go to Morehouse?
steven crowder
I don't know her.
I know Sean King got the black thing from Oprah.
joe rogan
What do you mean?
steven crowder
Yeah, he got some kind of a scholarship for being a victim of a hate crime as a black guy, but what's funny is the actual police report from that crime, he checked the Caucasian box!
unidentified
So it's not only on your birth certificate, that's a who's on first routine at the police station.
joe rogan
No.
steven crowder
You're a victim of a hate crime?
Yeah, it's a black man.
You checked a Caucasian, that's right.
joe rogan
Oh my god.
Fuck, I forgot what I was going to say because we were talking about, that's so funny, you broke my brain.
Ugh.
steven crowder
The transgender thing's been coming out so fast.
joe rogan
That's what it was.
My fucking five-year-old, man, was watching Caitlyn Jenner on the show, whatever it was.
I am Kate, whatever.
And she goes, Mommy, why is that man dressed like a girl?
The five-year-old said that.
And my wife just covered her mouth like this.
steven crowder
Yeah.
That was me with my dad, Richard Simmons.
joe rogan
My daughter was serious.
She was serious.
She's like, Mommy, why is that man dressed like a girl?
steven crowder
And if you don't say it's normal, it's hateful.
If you say it, that's a little weird.
joe rogan
She's beautiful.
You go, girl.
My friend Whitney Cummings, I've talked about this too many times, I can't talk about it anymore.
She put it on her Instagram, hero, with a picture of him.
I don't see a fireman.
I don't see a first responder.
steven crowder
And he killed a guy.
joe rogan
Yes, a girl.
A woman.
steven crowder
Oh, a girl, that's right.
joe rogan
A real woman.
Pushed her into traffic by spacing out behind the wheel and slamming into someone.
steven crowder
Well, you had that tranny out here, Buck Angel, who challenged me to a fight because I wrote about Fallon Fox.
And I was like, what did you write?
I wrote that, okay, this was my argument.
This was a long time ago.
I wrote it when I was at Fox News.
And before anyone else was talking about it, I said, okay, because it wasn't really a national story.
Right.
Christiane Cyborg, right?
She had her belt removed to strike force because they found out she popped for steroids.
Remember?
joe rogan
Because she took male hormones.
steven crowder
Male hormones, right?
So they said, okay, that's enough or we're going to take away your belt.
Right?
Why?
Because there's an unfair advantage.
joe rogan
Well, it's not just an unfair advantage.
It's a banned substance.
It's not even natural to your body.
steven crowder
Right.
Well, my whole point is Fallon Fox has been taking steroids her whole life.
They're called balls.
Because if you actually look at a woman taking steroids, It's still nowhere near the hormonal advantage that a man has over a woman.
As a matter of fact, Arnold Schwarzenegger, like a walking human pincushion in his prime, doesn't enjoy the hormonal advantage over me that I enjoy over the basic woman.
It's that much of a gap.
So to act like it goes away because, you know, you grab a hair straightener and you put on a bikini.
It's just not accurate.
And Buck Angel was like, I'll tell you.
I'm like, first off, there's a reason for weight classes.
Secondly, of course, you need to have the HIV testing, all that, because you're a porn star.
Thirdly, I'm not going to fight you.
joe rogan
You wouldn't fight Buck?
Buck's a nice guy, but he's not that big.
And you're a lot bigger person.
And Buck has a female frame.
He has small hands and small shoulders.
steven crowder
That's the whole thing, but it's hiding behind the bully pulpit, right?
A woman like that nowhere else would be like, hey, Stephen, I want to fight you.
But because you said this about Fallon Fox, which is entirely accurate, by the way, and I stand by it, I walk it back zero.
The whole trans community has to tell me I'm hateful.
Meanwhile, Fallon Fox is just beating the crap out of women.
And you know...
There's no technique there.
Fallon Fox is not a good fighter.
It's just pure strength.
It looks very much like domestic violence.
joe rogan
Well, it does when you watch it.
steven crowder
Yes, it does.
joe rogan
And she's not very technical.
And there's also really a problem.
My friend Steph Daniels wrote a piece for Bloody Elbow.
She wrote several pieces about this issue, and she did a very good job of being completely objective and interviewing a bunch of different experts on it.
And she found that there is a big discrepancy between gender reassignment doctors, quote-unquote experts, who have one opinion on it, that you are a woman now, You have no advantages whatsoever.
And those are the people that they've talked to the IOC and they've made it so that in the Olympics there's no discrepancy.
But my position is as a combat sports expert.
I think there's a giant difference between having a male frame and a female frame.
Then there's this woman, Dr. Ramona Krutzik, who is, they wrote a piece for Bloody Elbow.
And she went into great detail.
She's an endocrinologist.
Board-certified endocrinologist went into great detail about the significant advantages in bone density and the fact that the bone density, not only does it not decrease with the use of estrogen, but estrogen is in fact what keeps bone density in women.
That's one of the reasons why when women drop their estrogen as they get older, they start getting osteoporosis.
And so she was saying that you have an advantage.
It preserves it.
Not only that, there's advantages in terms of reaction time.
The average man has a 10% faster reaction time than a woman, which is massively significant when you're talking about striking.
When you see guys like Roy Jones Jr., they lose a tick, still faster than you or me, by a long shot, but he loses a tick.
unidentified
I don't know, bro.
I don't know, bro.
steven crowder
I brunched 275, bro.
joe rogan
Dude, I hear you, bro.
steven crowder
You don't know the rage that I get.
joe rogan
Joe, I'm mental.
steven crowder
Why did you go into Joey D's?
joe rogan
I don't know.
That was Dama Herrera again.
steven crowder
Was it Dama Herrera?
joe rogan
I'm sorry.
steven crowder
I didn't mean to insult the impression.
joe rogan
You'd have to kill me.
But the reaction time's quicker, and also the fact that you live your whole life as a man.
Like, your body is, your tendon strength, there's so many different things.
So Dr. Ramona Krutzik, you know, puts his piece out.
They fucking attack Steffi.
They attacked her.
Great job ruining all your great work.
Because she had interviewed all these different people with different opinions.
It wasn't even her opinion.
She went to a board-certified endocrinologist who had an objective point of view.
And this person said, yes, there's significant advantages.
Here they are, scientifically laid out.
steven crowder
Here's something I wrote about that no one else really talks about.
All these organic sort of leftist hippie granola, right, they want organic and they don't want BPAs.
Well, what's the big problem with BPA, right?
You know, xenoestrogens, the people talk about it mimics estrogen in the body, and that leads to cancer, right?
Too much estrogen in the body.
They talk about that, drinking hormones in the milk.
They talk about that with BPA and pesticides.
So we all widely acknowledge that estrogen elevated beyond normal levels in the human body is probably not great, right, for human health.
When injected directly into your ball sack, however, we're supposed to turn a blind eye and say, well, the science isn't in yet for the transgender community.
But don't drink from that plastic bottle.
Make sure it's a mason jar.
They've got lids for that.
But when they're doing direct estrogen injections, well, we don't know, really.
joe rogan
Well, then don't buy organic and drink up your BPA. It becomes an ideological issue more than it becomes a scientific issue.
And you are not allowed.
It's like we were talking about when we were talking about abortion earlier.
You're not allowed to have a varying opinion.
Right.
Like, you have to stay within the lines.
Like, you said that I'm considered, you know, I'd be considered left-wing by a lot of people.
But I'm in the NRA. I didn't want to bring it up.
I talk about it.
I think you should be allowed to have guns.
I don't think that guns are bad.
I wrote about this, that we have a mental health problem disguised as a gun problem.
And that's a real problem.
There's a real issue with mental health in this country.
And I don't know if it's unique to this country or if the problem is that these people that have these mental health issues have more access to guns than they have in other states or in other countries, rather.
I don't think the issue is removing the guns.
I think the issue is trying to figure out as an advanced society with a nuanced, objective point of view why people would ever want to kill a bunch of people they don't know.
What is it that is causing folks to do that?
Not what are the tools they're using to do that.
That doesn't make any sense to me.
And taking those tools away from people that would never do that.
I know so many hunters and so many people that are gun enthusiasts that are the nicest fucking people in the world and don't do a goddamn thing wrong every day and to think that you can take away their rights, the own firearms, because One crazy person does something.
What are we going to do if crazy people just drive into crowds?
What are we going to do when someone stomps on the gas and heads towards an outdoor mall and just plows over a bunch of people because they have demons in their head or because they didn't take their pills that day?
Are we going to take away the right to drive?
It seems like we're going down that road anyway with these cars that are going to be self-driving.
There's going to be issues involving the rights of people to drive.
Just decide to go out for a drive.
steven crowder
The Second Amendment is the right to self-preservation.
unidentified
Yes.
steven crowder
You know, and people go like, well, why do you get so...
Well, it was made back when people had muskets.
unidentified
Right.
steven crowder
Well, I did a video on that.
You'd realize that's completely untrue.
joe rogan
You have a loose penis.
Small penis.
steven crowder
Is that what it is?
Have you heard of the Puckle Gun?
Girondoni Air Rifle?
Belt and Flintlock?
You know those guns?
joe rogan
Yes.
steven crowder
Those could fire 30 rounds in a second, you know, or 20 seconds.
We have a letter from, I think it was Madison, to a private ship where they said, hey, can we have cannons to stop piracy?
Second Amendment, of course you can have cannons.
So they knew, as a matter of fact, they had placed orders for some of these high capacity, really advanced weapons that just wasn't cost effective for the American government.
joe rogan
When was the Second Amendment drafted?
steven crowder
Gosh, I'm terrible with numbers, but the puckle gun and the belt and flintlock and a lot of these guns already exist.
joe rogan
Was it before the outlaw Josie Wales Gatlin gun?
unidentified
Yes!
joe rogan
Those were the shit!
steven crowder
I did a video on it.
I'll send it to you afterwards.
joe rogan
December 15, 1791. Drafted, yeah, Bill of Rights.
steven crowder
Okay, there we go.
joe rogan
Interesting.
steven crowder
That's why I never do the numbers thing.
joe rogan
Well, 1791, their guns sucked, let's be honest.
steven crowder
Google belt and flintlock puckle gun.
joe rogan
Please, Google it.
steven crowder
Girondoni air rifle.
That's what they used to outfit Lewis and Clark, the Girondoni air rifle.
joe rogan
Really?
steven crowder
Yeah.
Fascinating weaponry.
First off, that's not the argument you want to get into because the First Amendment doesn't only apply to a printing press.
joe rogan
Right.
The Leos didn't have the internet back then.
steven crowder
People had feathers!
joe rogan
They wrote with feathers!
unidentified
You can't just put anything you want on a blog!
joe rogan
I mean, that's really the argument, right?
Isn't that the argument?
Well, how about fucking Hunter S. Thompson?
I mean, if anybody violated what a lot of people would think the First Amendment should stand for, that guy took real facts and added fiction to them, and that was the First Amendment.
I mean, he was allowed to do that.
I mean, he caused a fucking political candidate running for president to lose his mind, because people thought that he was on Ibogaine.
The guy had mental breakdowns.
I mean, you know the whole deal with Ed Muskie, when Ed Muskie was running for president?
unidentified
No, I don't.
joe rogan
Oh my god, you gotta see the movie, uh, is it Fear and Loathing?
What is it?
What is the documentary?
Gonzo?
But what is it?
It's Gonzo, and then there's something else behind it.
Whatever.
It's a fucking fantastic documentary.
It's one of my all-time favorite offers.
steven crowder
Now that's a moment right there where I could have just lied.
Do you realize that?
I see people do that, like, where you're like, do you know this?
And I could have said, yes.
People do that all the time.
joe rogan
Gonzo, the life and work of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson.
That's amazing.
It's an amazing documentary.
It's so fucking good.
But it goes into great detail about how he would just add fiction to stories.
He was a journalist, but he would just make shit up.
And so he made this shit up about them bringing in a Brazilian doctor because they knew that Muskie had some Ibogaine addiction.
And he goes, there was a rumor going around.
And so he was on, I think it was a Dick Cavett show.
It's a fucking hilarious interview.
And he goes, well, there was a rumor going around.
I started the rumor.
steven crowder
Well, like Lena Dunham, it's a perspiration problem.
joe rogan
Did you start that?
Well, everybody, I have a perspiration problem.
I came here from yoga class, man.
I was soaking wet.
unidentified
That's true.
steven crowder
You came from yoga class.
Now, the Second Amendment goes back to the issue of you either believe in self-preservation or not.
And that's why I know Amy's a friend of yours.
But when she gets up there and she's pushing gun control, What is she pushing those specifically when someone says gun control?
joe rogan
I believe in gun control.
I believe that crazy people shouldn't be allowed to have guns.
I believe that if you have a history of violent behavior and a history of violent crime, you shouldn't be able to go to a store and buy a gun.
I bet you believe the same thing.
steven crowder
I don't want to misspeak as to what it is that Chuck is specifically pushing.
Well, I do think those things, but I also don't believe in leaving it to the...
joe rogan
So that's gun control, right?
steven crowder
Well, no, because the...
Now, see, that's one thing where everyone goes, well, yeah, of course we don't want crazy people getting guns.
joe rogan
Right.
steven crowder
But do you really want the government then deciding who's mentally fit?
Have you taken a Xanax?
You're not mentally fit.
You ever had anxiety?
joe rogan
Right.
steven crowder
Nick Diaz and your prescription for anxiety marijuana?
You can't buy a gun.
No, I don't believe that we have the parameters yet to determine that.
joe rogan
Well, do you realize that federally, for the longest time, that was actually the case, that if you did have a prescription for medical marijuana, because it's federally illegal, you weren't allowed to have a handgun.
steven crowder
That would make sense.
joe rogan
Or you weren't allowed to have a rifle.
steven crowder
Well, that would make sense.
I mean, Barack Obama's, you know, federally prosecuted even people in Colorado, where he's talked about that, that he doesn't really want to leave that to the States.
I don't want to get off on the pot thing, because we actually agree on that.
But the gun thing is, it's an instinct for self-preservation.
So a lot of these celebrities, for example, I get really bothered personally because I've had to put my wife under security watch because of angry Muslims and union members.
Union members came after you?
Yeah.
joe rogan
For what?
You're one of those guys, I can bring something up and you go, yeah, that too.
steven crowder
Oh, you have a bunch of people here saying adopted footage.
I was punched in the face on national television.
joe rogan
What happened?
steven crowder
I was at a Right to Work rally.
It was being passed in Michigan, and I was there arguing with people, and a drunken guy wailed me in the face.
And there were about 5,000 union members.
They tore down a whole tent for people who were pro-right to work.
You can Google it, and people will say the footage was edited, but there's also 12-minute footage that I put up on my channel.
joe rogan
What union?
Which union?
steven crowder
a whole bunch of unions.
So this was a pretty big deal when it happened.
And it's funny my dad watched it, because if you go back and watch it, people tried to say, oh, you shoved that old guy down, and then he sucker punched you.
It's like, well, if that's the case, I was looking for a fight, I would have fought.
But there's about 3,000 people there, and I was going to be torn apart.
joe rogan
Who said you shoved the old guy, just people in the back?
steven crowder
Oh, it's a whole conspiracy on the internet.
And I have a 12-minute video online.
Well, I don't even want to get into everything there because of the prosecutor.
joe rogan
You're on the internet and you can't pay attention to the internet.
How ironic.
unidentified
I know.
steven crowder
I don't have the attention span.
joe rogan
So am I. Listen to this.
steven crowder
But what's funny is if you go watch it, knowing we talked about jiu-jitsu and stuff, my dad's like, did you grab a collar elbow tie and were you going for your uchimata?
I'm like, yeah, I was.
So you see me grab him.
He's wailing.
joe rogan
You were ready to toss him?
steven crowder
And I turn my hips in.
You can see the footage.
I turn my hips in and I see he's like, oh, shoot, there's 2,000 other people.
And so I just cover and run.
Let's watch this.
No, we have to do this.
joe rogan
Yes.
Yes.
Hello!
Back the fuck up?
steven crowder
So that's a tent that got torn down with box clubs.
And you're backing up.
joe rogan
And you backed up.
What does he limit you to back the fuck up over?
steven crowder
So this is where they say, and you know if you...
Oh, there's a...
joe rogan
Oh, he's swinging.
steven crowder
So see, I turned my...
Turn my hips and then just duck my head and go back.
joe rogan
That was a terrible technique.
Your hips weren't low enough.
Way too far.
steven crowder
Yeah, way too far.
Well, I did it.
It's tough to watch.
joe rogan
Did you get hit?
steven crowder
Yeah, I got hit full line.
joe rogan
That was baby punches, though.
That guy has shit technique, too.
This is terrible.
I can't even do commentary for this fight.
steven crowder
Well, you're not expecting it.
joe rogan
I mean, the fucking guy with his wind-up roundhouse punches, like, God, what an asshole.
steven crowder
Yeah.
joe rogan
I've said this before.
Why do people who can't fucking fight at all think they can get in fights?
steven crowder
Well, I was getting drunk off second-hand fumes.
joe rogan
Not you.
Those shits.
steven crowder
I was saying I was getting drunk off second-hand fumes.
joe rogan
Oh, he was hammered.
Oh, he was hammered.
steven crowder
They all were.
Back the fuck off!
Yeah.
Well, there's a lot of footage there, but...
joe rogan
Right to work!
Right to...
steven crowder
Well they hate right to work.
joe rogan
What is right to work?
steven crowder
It essentially means you don't have to be in a union to work.
joe rogan
Right.
Oh, so if there is a union, like an electrician's union or something like that, so if there is a union, you should join their union.
steven crowder
People are going nuts that we talked about that.
joe rogan
Well, there's a real issue with the UFC. I'm sure you're aware of it, the culinary union issue.
steven crowder
Well, I sent you that video on legalizing it in New York.
I did it a long time ago.
joe rogan
Yeah.
steven crowder
We reported on it.
And, matter of fact, the UFC was Jennifer Wink back then who was working there.
They were like...
I don't want to say they were very controlling until they realized that I wasn't trying to sandbag.
I'm like, listen, this is what I'm talking about.
I understand the union, the culinary union, and I want it to be legal in New York.
But even then, they were like, well, can you send us a cut of the video before it goes up?
And I was like, No, I can't.
So I interviewed Chael, and I interviewed Pat, and I interviewed Henzo and Henner Gracie, and we talked about it.
And that's what a lot of people don't understand, the Culinary Union in Nevada and their vendetta.
And we talked about Bob, you know, the Senator-Congressman there who said, the reason I'm against MMA in New York is because it's violent.
joe rogan
Yeah, that douchebag.
steven crowder
He's gone now.
He actually called into a show when I was on a show in Albany doing a radio show and he called in to argue with me.
How'd that go?
He had no arguments for us.
joe rogan
What about football?
steven crowder
What about boxing?
joe rogan
He's a corrupt politician.
I mean, didn't he get busted for corruption?
Is that the same guy?
steven crowder
When we talk about big money in politics, and we won't have time because I think you probably are going to let me go soon.
Well, no, no.
When people say Koch Brothers or Big Oil, Big Pharma, you look at the top political donors of all time, 15 out of the top 20 are unions.
And I got into this argument over Twitter with Gray Maynard, and he was just like, no, bro, it's corporate.
I go, listen.
joe rogan
No, bro.
steven crowder
You want to talk about corporations?
joe rogan
Whatever someone says, no, bro.
steven crowder
Yeah.
That's Craig Maynard.
He tweets that.
And I was like, listen, these are the top donors.
No one wants to talk about big unions.
By the way, they give virtually 99% to Democrats.
Big banks give 51% Republican, 49% Democrat because they're hedging their bets.
Unions, often public sector unions, you have no choice in whether you can join or not in these non-right-to-work states.
You join, they take your dues, and in turn, they use those dues to elect more Democrats who give them more kickbacks.
So I just think, yeah, there's a lot of money in politics, but everyone wants to talk about big oil and big pharma, and no one wants to talk about big unions, which is...
Far more influential force, and they get away with murder.
They get away with murder.
joe rogan
Well, it seems to be a part of the same problem, right?
It's like people get addicted to the money that comes out of that establishment.
They get addicted to the money.
That's what the Culinary Union, they know that they can make something like $15 million a year.
If the station casinos all went union.
steven crowder
Right.
joe rogan
And meanwhile, the people that work in the casinos have voted against it.
Now, I don't know the particulars of the case.
I don't know.
I don't know who's being told what to do.
But I just know that is what the fact is.
They did vote.
They voted to go non-union.
But these fucking culinary union guys, they've been attacking the UFC forever.
And they've been doing a lot of creepy shit to the casinos that are non-union.
They've set up shop outside these casinos and they were insulting people that were walking into the casino just patrons Just regular customers shitting on this guy's one.
There's this big thing The video got released and the culinary union looked horrible for him And it's I'm sure there's unions are people in the culinary union and Just like there's good people in every organization that's fucked ultimately.
But the whole, it's a mess, man.
That's a mess.
steven crowder
The unions in the Midwest, those are the kinds of, and that's what I was with my lawyers when we're dealing with this, and there was a prosecutor in Michigan who was, we found like almost all of his funding at that incident, was the AFL-CIO, which is a big union.
As a matter of fact, I was told there were about 50 people that day, not just me, who tried to file police reports.
Because that whole tent you saw was cut down with box cutters.
There was a black guy selling hot dogs whose thing was destroyed.
He was called the N-word.
This whole thing happened that day.
I still have a piece of the tent.
And there were dozens of people who tried to file police reports.
And they said, oh, we can't file police reports by phone.
Completely absurd.
Of course you can.
If someone's raped in Florida and you moved back to Ohio, you were on vacation, you can call in and say, hey, my daughter was raped in Florida.
So a lot of people tried to file reports.
They weren't able to.
A lot of people were in the tent when it went down.
And the same thing happened, you know, attack the messenger.
Oh, well, you really had no business being there.
You were provoking it.
Here's the beauty about assault.
If I right here go, hey, Joe Rogan, I think you suck.
Nanny nanny boo boo.
You can't hit me.
Guess what?
You still can't hit me.
joe rogan
Right.
steven crowder
That's the law.
unidentified
Right.
joe rogan
You're only allowed to hit someone if you really believe that your life or your health is in danger.
steven crowder
Yeah.
joe rogan
Most of the time, you've got to be hit first.
steven crowder
Yeah.
joe rogan
I mean, it's hard to argue otherwise.
I mean, if two people are staring at each other and they're yelling at each other and someone decides to throw the first punch, that person is the antagonist.
That's the person who caused the issue.
steven crowder
Well, there's mutual combat laws and all that stuff.
joe rogan
Well, in Seattle.
It's in Washington State.
steven crowder
What's the name?
The superhero guy?
joe rogan
Yeah, yeah.
Phoenix Jones.
steven crowder
He's a good fighter.
joe rogan
Yes, he is.
That's the fucking problem.
He's fucking very good.
steven crowder
Did you ever see that one where he's like, mutual combat?
You want to go mutual combat?
unidentified
And the guy goes up and he just, whack, leg kick, and the guy stops.
joe rogan
The guy was like, oh no.
steven crowder
Oh, I've made a bad choice.
joe rogan
Yeah, he's really good.
That's part of the problem.
steven crowder
Fyodor?
What's the name?
Fyodor?
joe rogan
Carlos Fodor.
steven crowder
Fodor.
joe rogan
Yeah.
That's his brother, right?
steven crowder
Well, his brother's a fighter, too.
unidentified
Yeah.
steven crowder
I don't know what his name is, but...
joe rogan
Yeah, what is his...
He calls himself Phoenix Jones, right?
What is his real name?
steven crowder
I don't know.
joe rogan
He's a fucking very good fighter, though.
You could say...
It's really almost mean.
You know, that he walks around with a superhero outfit on.
steven crowder
It's not fair.
joe rogan
It's not fair at all.
Because he's fucking good, man.
unidentified
Where he's like, I don't want to fight.
steven crowder
I'm here to keep peace.
But you know, deep down, he's like...
Give me a reason.
joe rogan
Please give me a reason.
It's hilarious for him, but he's been stabbed.
He's had, like, legit issues.
steven crowder
Oh, yeah.
joe rogan
He's broken up fights or stopped robberies and stuff.
steven crowder
Well, the worst part is, there was one where it was like the domestic abuse case.
Those are always the scary ones, right?
Well, because it doesn't matter.
The woman's still going to protect her man, even if it's well.
So he goes in and separates them.
She's wailing on him.
You ever seen that?
Have you seen that one?
joe rogan
No, I don't even want to see it.
Domestic abuse cases, they fucking freak me out because I grew up with that.
steven crowder
Well, more women committed than men.
joe rogan
Really?
steven crowder
Yeah, by far.
It's not even close.
unidentified
What?
joe rogan
Not even close?
steven crowder
Yeah, it's not even close.
joe rogan
Yeah, but they don't do much damage.
steven crowder
That's the point.
Yeah, but that's the point.
We let them go.
joe rogan
Well, Ronda Rousey admitted recently that she beat the shit out of one of her ex-boyfriends because she caught him taking pictures of her.
And everybody's like, well, fucking free pass.
First of all, I believe it because it's Ronda Rousey.
If a girl says she beat the fuck, well, I know the dude.
He's actually a very good fighter.
He could fight himself.
But when Ronda Rousey says she beat a dude's ass, everybody goes, I can see that.
steven crowder
Yeah, but that's probably because of the Tom Jones syndrome where he realized he was wrong and took it.
I mean, you see her with...
joe rogan
Tom Jones syndrome?
What's that?
steven crowder
Well, it's a famous...
joe rogan
Tom Jones the singer?
steven crowder
Yeah, Tom Jones.
He talked about when he cheated on his wife and she found out and she just beat the hell out of him.
He's like, I sit there and took it because I deserved it.
And that's usually what happens in domestic abuse.
This is actually something you should have her on.
Karen Strawn.
Where we talked about it.
joe rogan
Oh, that girl writes what chick?
unidentified
Yes.
joe rogan
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
steven crowder
I would love to have her on.
She talked about it, how men have always been punished for domestic abuse.
It's not like it's ever been okay.
Theodore Roosevelt, I think it was Teddy Roosevelt in 1906 wanted to bring back the whipping post for domestic abuse because he thought it was unfair to put a man in prison because then he could no longer provide for his woman.
On the flip side, if a man was domestically abused, you were basically dragged through the street and shamed.
So most men never reported.
joe rogan
They dragged him through the street?
steven crowder
Well, I mean, they would parade you through the street.
You'd be shamed.
You bitch.
That's not policy.
Whipping post was policy.
This is cultural sort of context.
joe rogan
Gotcha.
steven crowder
But yeah, domestic abuse is actually higher in lesbian communities.
Yeah.
Yeah.
joe rogan
It's higher in lesbian community, well per capita, but there's not that many lesbians, right?
steven crowder
I don't know.
I don't have a chart, but I imagine there's...
I bet there's less lesbians than there are straight people.
unidentified
I would wager.
steven crowder
How much higher though?
I don't have the numbers in front of me.
joe rogan
Jamie does.
Jamie, look up domestic violence in the lesbian community.
steven crowder
It's not as much higher between the lesbian community and the straight community as it is between women against men.
joe rogan
So women versus men, domestic violence, is this just reported domestic violence?
steven crowder
Okay, honest question.
joe rogan
Because a lot of women get smacked around and they don't report it.
steven crowder
Honest question.
Has your wife ever smacked you?
joe rogan
No.
steven crowder
She never punched you in the arm?
joe rogan
No, she's not like that.
steven crowder
Really?
joe rogan
No, she's not like that at all.
She's super easy going.
That's why I'm married to her.
steven crowder
My wife's, like, punched me in the arm, like, I can't believe you.
joe rogan
I grew up around violence, and I don't like it.
I mean, it sounds crazy talking to a guy who's a cage-fighting commentator who's done martial arts his whole life, but I don't like violence.
steven crowder
I'm that same way.
I don't like action.
joe rogan
I don't mind seeing it.
I like fights and I've always enjoyed competing.
It's not that, but that doesn't seem like violence to me, even though it is.
You have a mutually agreed upon meeting of two very skilled people who are going to try to impose their discipline, their will, their focus, their technique, their intelligence and their preparation on each other.
That's how I look at fighting.
steven crowder
Yeah, it's competition.
joe rogan
But I don't like people that love each other hitting each other.
That shit drives me crazy because I grew up with it.
And I don't...
I would never date a girl who tried to hit me.
steven crowder
Okay.
I don't want to make my wife feel like a monster.
joe rogan
Your wife beats your ass.
She fucked you up.
steven crowder
My wife's got range.
She's six foot and she's got this...
joe rogan
She's got a long jab.
steven crowder
Yeah, she was a runway model for years.
She like, you know, and I milked.
It didn't hurt.
You know, it's a good example, right?
joe rogan
It didn't hurt, but you milked it?
steven crowder
Yeah, I milked it.
I went to the bar and left and I was like, you know what?
I need to cool down.
I'm turning around like, oh my gosh, I can get whatever I want for the next week.
Terrible.
Don't do that.
It's bad for your marriage.
But it worked.
I will say this, that a good example is like a dog.
I see little dogs get into fights all the time.
joe rogan
They don't hurt each other.
steven crowder
If Hopper does it, they take him away.
joe rogan
Right, of course.
steven crowder
They take him away.
joe rogan
Of course.
steven crowder
He's never done it, but he was bitten by a little Pomeranian, and one time a dog did bite him.
It was the only time he actually had black fur in his teeth.
But here's the thing.
If Hopper wanted to bite his neck, he would have bitten his neck.
People don't realize, dogs, that's a clipping.
That's like the mom sound of the teeth.
That's to say, back off.
But my friend, actually my producer, Gay Jared, he's got a little Australian Shepherd, and they'll get into fights.
joe rogan
You call him Gay Jared?
Is that what you call him?
Or is his first name gay?
steven crowder
He claims he's not gay.
He claims he's not gay.
The jury's still out.
His Twitter handle is NotGayJarred.
You can follow his...
joe rogan
It's NotGayJarred?
That's his Twitter handle?
steven crowder
That's his Twitter handle.
It's N-O-T-G-A-Y. You can follow him and draw your own conclusions.
Legally, I'm obligated to say he's not.
joe rogan
Another one.
There's a lot of those guys.
See, I think it's fucked up, man.
I think it should be really easy to be gay.
Then we'd find out who the fuck is who.
unidentified
No, no, no.
steven crowder
I wouldn't have a problem with it.
He just says he's not.
joe rogan
Okay, let's see here.
National Violence Against Women survey found that 21.5% of men and 35.4% of women living with same-sex partners experience intimate partner physical violence.
steven crowder
Well, that includes gay, not lesbian.
joe rogan
Yeah, that's exactly what we're saying.
That shows that lesbians are more likely to beat up their partners than gay men are.
Much more.
Comparable with 7.1% and 20.4% for men and women respectively with a history of only opposite sex cohabitation.
That's crazy.
So what that says is that 7.1% of women have experienced domestic violence by men, but 20.4% of men have experienced domestic violence by women.
steven crowder
The good thing, what that says to me...
Is that I am not alone, Joe.
joe rogan
Okay, but that's Massachusetts.
See that right there?
Massachusetts is filled with monsters.
steven crowder
Drunk Boston.
unidentified
Those women...
joe rogan
You fucking queer!
They beat your ass.
They're terrible people.
unidentified
They're terrible people.
joe rogan
The only chick that I ever had take a swing at me was a girl that I dated from Boston.
steven crowder
Really?
joe rogan
She took a swing at me while I was fighting.
I was in the middle of competition back then.
steven crowder
Taekwondo?
joe rogan
No, I was kickboxing.
I was fucking crazy.
Like, and this chick took a swing at me, and I watched it coming, and I was like, I don't even believe this is happening.
And I ducked under it, and I grabbed ahold of her.
I'm like, what are you doing?
Are you hitting me?
Are you trying to hit me?
That was the only time a girl, ah, you fucking queer!
steven crowder
Ah!
joe rogan
They're monsters.
They're drunk.
They're eating potatoes.
They're just fucking swinging at you.
That's why it's Massachusetts.
I bet you look at the rest of the country, it's probably totally different numbers.
steven crowder
No, I don't think it's totally different numbers.
Speaking of kickboxing, have you seen Guy Mezker recently?
joe rogan
Yeah.
steven crowder
That guy is in great shape for his age.
joe rogan
Oh, he's in very good shape.
steven crowder
He's unreal.
joe rogan
He's had some issues with cognitive damage from his fighting career, but I have to have him on because we talked about this.
He's gone through some pretty unique therapy.
There's a guy in Dallas that's doing some very unique therapy, dealing with a lot of the cognitive issues that he had because of his long-term fighting career.
steven crowder
Well, he's really taken my dad under his wing.
joe rogan
Guy is?
He's a great dude.
I want to say he's a great guy, but I just couldn't.
steven crowder
Guy's a great guy.
He's a great guy.
joe rogan
But he really is.
He's very intelligent.
He's soft-spoken.
He's just a really good person.
steven crowder
Yeah, he really, really is.
And he's been very, very supportive of my father there.
And there have been, like, jujitsu politics and stuff.
So my dad actually moved there from another school.
And, yeah, I was just going to say, I mean, jujitsu politics, how gross.
Well, you know what it is.
I mean, I'm the world's longest talked about that.
Like, I've been a blue belt for, I mean, I can't remember how long because I moved, and they saw it as like an act of disrespect, and I had to compete.
To get my blue belt, Joe, I had to win, it doesn't mean much, but I had to win Naga Worlds at white.
Which in Dallas, which means you might have people coming in from like 15 states.
You know, there might be 12, 15 people in your division.
You're likely sandbagging.
joe rogan
Right, right, right.
steven crowder
And then I was like, we've had people who were demoted.
joe rogan
Demoted?
steven crowder
Demoted because of like, you trained with other people.
So it's just one of those deals.
My dad started training.
Two, three years after me, he got his purple.
joe rogan
You gotta get away from any school that does that.
There's only a few schools that do do that, but goddammit, when they do that, it's so disrespectful and it's so bad for the whole overall community of martial arts because it turns people off when they realize that there's that kind of politics.
Yeah.
It's terrible, man.
I mean, Eddie Bravo experienced that for the longest fucking time because they thought he was disrespectful because he was teaching no-gi jiu-jitsu because he decided to develop a no-gi system.
Not even realizing he has a black belt under Jean-Jacques Machado.
And he trained with the gi forever.
It's not that he doesn't want to train with the gi.
He's trying to train mixed martial arts fighters.
And he's developing a system that would work with mixed martial arts competition.
Which, of course, you can't wear a gi anymore.
steven crowder
I will say this.
And I actually think Eddie Bravo is an incredible grappler.
But there's nothing more frustrating than when you have a kid come in with long pants.
And he just wants to sit in rubber guard and doesn't know how to use it.
Because he's read a book.
And he's talking about his edible mushrooms.
You're like, how about you learn a hip bump, bitch?
You know what I mean?
And then, sorry, Mom.
joe rogan
Well, you're always going to have problems.
I call that the blue belt hysteria syndrome.
steven crowder
Yeah, but I'll tell you what, there's a rash of him.
joe rogan
Yeah, you're going to get that.
Yeah, it's fun.
It's fun to be a contrarian.
It's fun to go against a group to be a rebel.
steven crowder
Oh my gosh, and they're just holding you to this poor rubber guard.
And that's actually a good example.
One of my Brazilian instructors can't stand Eddie.
Um, and you go, you know, what is that?
What's Robert Gard?
I tell you what, it's Nino Chambri!
He's taken from Nino Chambri!
joe rogan
Nino Chambri trained with Eddie.
steven crowder
I know, I know.
joe rogan
He gave Eddie all kinds of props.
steven crowder
But that's the kind of stuff you have to deal with in jiu-jitsu.
joe rogan
Well, that's people that are silly.
How much does your guy weigh, this Brazilian jiu-jitsu instructor?
steven crowder
How much what?
joe rogan
How much does he weigh, this guy that doesn't like Eddie?
steven crowder
He weighs about 210. Oh, that's a problem.
joe rogan
Eddie's about 170. If they're the same, even though, fucking Eddie would probably still tap him.
steven crowder
I think you can learn something from everyone.
joe rogan
Yeah, but guys who talk shit like that, they've never experienced it.
Roll with Vinny Magalhães.
Vinny Magalhães is about 220. Well, Brazilians really hate him.
Yeah, they do.
Yeah, they do.
steven crowder
Because he came out and said, Brazil's a crap hole compared to the United States.
I like living here.
And they're like, oh, you turn on your country.
I want to fight.
It's like, well, you know what?
unidentified
He was...
joe rogan
Fight.
steven crowder
I want to fight.
If you ever want to actually do an impression like there are different dialects, but Diego Brandao, just imitate him.
joe rogan
Yeah, he's got a good one.
He's got a good one.
steven crowder
Just a little ball of hate.
Diego Brandao.
joe rogan
Well, he looked really good in his last fight.
What the fuck did he fight?
He fought a Japanese guy.
steven crowder
Oh, yeah.
It was in Japan, wasn't it?
joe rogan
Yes.
steven crowder
Mitsugaki?
No, no.
Mitsugaki is really...
That's the guy who...
That's 135. Mitsugaki's the guy...
145. Dominic Cruz massacred.
joe rogan
Right.
He fucked somebody up, though, man.
Where the hell was it?
Oh, oh, oh.
The dude who throws that crazy fucking front kick.
Yeah.
I don't know.
steven crowder
I know the Japanese weren't too happy with that.
joe rogan
Kakuno got fucked up in his last fight by Tony Ferguson, too.
He's having a hard time.
steven crowder
Hey, you know who doesn't have racial guilt?
joe rogan
Who?
steven crowder
Japanese people.
joe rogan
No, they don't.
steven crowder
They don't.
You're never gonna hear Japanese people say, I don't care what my grandkids look like.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
joe rogan
They're racist as fuck.
steven crowder
Bob Sapp?
Put him on a billboard eating bananas.
joe rogan
Yeah, they make him eat bananas.
They don't give a fuck.
unidentified
We never see a black man like you, bananas.
joe rogan
You are like a gorilla.
steven crowder
They stole that giant sex toy.
joe rogan
He ran with it to the bank.
He ran with it to the bank.
steven crowder
And then ran out of the cage.
Got his money.
joe rogan
We actually had an issue with them with the Yakuza.
There was an issue where they wanted him to fight without a contract.
And he was like, I need a contract.
After the fight, we give you a contract.
After the fight?
What?
steven crowder
Well, let me say one thing about Guy Mesker.
And we have to go, right?
Yeah, we're about three hours here.
All right, sorry.
Guy Mesker, I will say it just because, obviously, it's my home gym.
But, just for one second...
It's arguable Antonio Ruggiero Nogueira and the Arona fights.
Those were really close.
Those could have gone either way.
joe rogan
Right.
steven crowder
If you reverse those and the Vanderlei headbutt doesn't happen and it goes to a decision, he goes in the list of top light heavyweights ever.
joe rogan
Well, he's an excellent fighter.
You know, he was always an excellent fighter.
steven crowder
But no one mentions him in the mix.
joe rogan
Well, that's unfortunate.
He was an early adopter.
He was one of the guys in the real early days of MMA. And he was also one of the best.
You look at his style of kicking, his kickboxing style.
He's one of the best traditional kickboxing style guys that got into MMA. He had a lot of really good skills back then.
But the Vanderlei headbutt was a big turning point.
steven crowder
I mean, he was doing well in that fight before that happened.
joe rogan
Vanderlei headbutted him.
steven crowder
I'm not saying he would have won the fight.
unidentified
No.
steven crowder
But I'm saying if you take a couple of those controversial decisions and they go the other way, you put them right up there.
unidentified
Right.
steven crowder
These guys like Tito and Chuck.
I mean, he was doing really well with Chuck.
Until he got clipped.
joe rogan
Chuck was a monster.
Back then he was really a monster.
It's interesting because Chuck's style back then was to take shots because his chin was so fucking sturdy.
To take shots and just stay in the pocket and blast you.
And then eventually that gave out.
The chin gave out.
He's the best example of why you can't fight like that.
Like look at a guy who had a chin that was so amazing.
But imagine if Chuck...
With that chin fought like TJ Dillashaw.
Fought an elusive, fast-moving, fast footwork style where he's very hard to hit, but still had that ridiculous power.
steven crowder
Yeah.
joe rogan
Man.
I mean, obviously they're different weight classes.
It would be very difficult for him to move like that.
But if you fought a more defensive-oriented style with that punching power and just utilized it sparingly at openings, but...
Then he wouldn't have been Chuck Liddell.
steven crowder
That and Rashad Knockout is one of the worst I've ever seen.
joe rogan
Ooh, terrific.
unidentified
Yeah.
joe rogan
Well, the Rich Franklin one was even more disturbing to me because it didn't look like he got hit that hard.
And his body was already done.
steven crowder
Yeah, you can only get hit in the butt in so many times.
Sorry, I didn't mean to take you down a rabbit trail with that.
joe rogan
Yeah, no, it's true.
It's totally true.
It's totally true.
And that's one thing that's super important to tell young fighters.
I always say that Mighty Mouse is the best.
I really think he's the best fighter in the world, pound for pound.
And one of the reasons why is that fucking guy doesn't get hit.
He's so slick, and he moves so well, and he's all about technique.
That's why in his last fight, he goes, look at me, I'm pretty as a motherfucker, and I just fought five rounds.
steven crowder
One thing I will say that bothers me, people go, oh, heavyweights don't have technique.
Here's one thing my dad and I talk about a lot.
or light heavyweight, is much less than a lower division.
They may be faster, but the fact is, guess what?
You can take 50 shots at flyweight.
You take one shot wrong at heavyweight.
There's a reason if you watch high-level heavyweight jiu-jitsu, they are fighting often to stay off the bottom, except for guys like Cyborg, because it's a whole different ballgame elevating 250 pounds or getting hit by it.
So when people say, oh, the heavyweights aren't as good technically, I go, well, actually, the fact is you can't get hit once at heavyweight.
You have to be more evasive.
There's less room for error.
And it's not just because I'm a relatively big guy.
I'd be a middleweight probably if I ever had the balls to fight, which I don't.
But as someone who comes from a long line of heavyweights, that's the first thing they say if my dad runs over.
joe rogan
Well, it's also the issue with gravity.
Like, the heavyweights have to deal with so much more gravity.
It's so much harder to move.
It's just harder.
steven crowder
Well, you can bench 150 all day.
joe rogan
Yeah.
steven crowder
How often can you bench 275?
joe rogan
Exactly.
unidentified
Yeah.
steven crowder
A lot.
joe rogan
Yeah.
Not a lot.
steven crowder
Not even Brock Lesnar can do that.
Like, it's flyweight.
joe rogan
Exactly.
And it's also, like, to find a guy who's a heavyweight, like Muhammad Ali, who would move like that, that's one of the reasons why he was such an outlier.
Like, nobody had ever seen a heavyweight that could dance like that and move around like that, and, like, no one had prepared for it.
Like, Sonny Liston was, like, this plodding, murderous puncher and really had no answer for that style.
steven crowder
Right.
joe rogan
Because it's not supposed to exist.
Like, a guy's not supposed to be that heavy and be able to move that good.
steven crowder
Yeah.
joe rogan
It's a lot harder.
But even him, when he got older, that shit went away too.
steven crowder
And the only thing that I really disagree with you on is, before we leave, you said George St. Pierre, who's the National Treasury about to cross some lines, said that he got out while the wolves were at the door.
Disagree, my friend!
joe rogan
Well, you don't think he got out while the wolves were at the door?
Look, I think George St. Pierre is amazing.
steven crowder
Johnny Hendrix?
joe rogan
Well, it's not just Johnny Hendricks.
steven crowder
Yes.
joe rogan
It's Robbie Lawler.
There's a lot of fucking really good fighters.
steven crowder
Robbie Lawler was a champion.
It's not like he ducked them.
He's fighting 185. Well, you know, because people take it and they go, he ducked all these good fighters.
joe rogan
15 pounds is a lot of weight to give up when you're at an elite level.
And he really wasn't a 185-pound guy.
He's not even a big 170. He makes weight easily, whereas opposed to, like, Johnny Hendricks can't even fucking make the weight anymore.
They're going to make him go up to 185. Well, Pat's a good friend of mine.
steven crowder
He talked about how Lawler would just...
Come in, barely warm up, and just fight.
joe rogan
He's an animal.
steven crowder
He's not methodical like George St. Pierre.
joe rogan
No, but George, I'd like his style better, because George's style is so unpredictable, and I think that he really set the groundwork for...
Feras Ahabi is a wizard.
He's one of the very best trainers in the world, and Feras...
It has like brilliant breakdowns of MMA and brilliant breakdowns of fights and when you talk to him about it and when he talks about training, he talks about overloading guys mind with possibilities and that's what George did.
You never knew what the fuck he was gonna do.
steven crowder
You know why his wrestling is so good?
A lot of people don't understand this.
There is no wrestling in Canada.
joe rogan
Well, he trained with Russian Nationals.
steven crowder
He trained with Russian Nationals and the Canadian Olympic team.
So it's not like where you have some guy in the UFC who had some high school wrestling experience.
Either you don't wrestle, or you wrestle with the best in the entire country.
joe rogan
Well, he's also super open-minded.
I mean, I did a little bit of training with George, and he just listens to everything and soaks it all in.
And you can see his mind working like a fucking computer.
The way he takes in technique.
And, you know, he did a lot of work with John Donaher on his jiu-jitsu.
And he just seeks out people that are going to, like, find...
Little things that he can do better, and he listens.
He doesn't have an ego about it at all.
steven crowder
That's because you don't know how dark it is inside my head.
joe rogan
And the alien come to get me occasionally.
We've got to get out of here.
We're out of time.
We're three hours in.
This was a lot of fun, man.
Thank you very much.
If you're in town, we'll do it again, for sure.
