EPISODE 6: THE GREAT REJECTION THEORY (OCTOBER 2ND, 2023)
You good, Steven? The week it's pretty apparent that he isn't handling something disappointing very well, enough to bring back an old segment, before being racist a couple times, and discrediting a legitimate scientific institution. Email: louderthancrowder@gmail.com Twitter/X: @thancrowder Music by DJ Danarchy
Welcome to Louder Than Crowder, a podcast about the podcast.
Louder with Crowder.
My name is Byron.
I'm joined tonight by Jared.
Yo, everybody.
And Dennis.
Ahoy.
All right.
Chips ahoy.
Ahoy to you as well.
Good sir.
Wonderful.
Happy to be here.
Today we'll be covering the September 26th, 2023 show of Louder with Crowder.
It's a Monday.
And Dianne Feinstein.
Passed away.
Yep.
Oh yeah.
And I heard Byron, Dennis, she's actually not going to give it up in the Senate though.
She's going to go ahead and hang on to that seat.
Guys, I bet you could guess how respectful they are about all that.
They love Diane.
They are very.
They are very.
Yeah, they're somehow even worse to her successor.
Jamal Bowman made a whoopsie regarding an alarm door.
Nothing really happened, but he's actually an insurrectionist now.
Wait, is that the person who is her successor for now?
No, different guy.
Oh, no, no, no, okay, okay.
Also, MRNA folks got a Nobel Peace Prize, but fuck that.
It actually sucks and doesn't matter.
And actually getting any kind of award is just participation trophies.
That's right.
Awards are actually just liberal agendas.
So many solid takes today, but first boys, do you love yourself?
I love myself deeply every day.
Okay, fucking how goddamn fucking weird was this?
What are your feelings on self-love?
A topic that just I've been hearing a lot lately or I guess seeing on the Instagram feed which by the way is toxic.
It's likely the worst thing for your mind.
That's why we always tell you this is just a show.
Tune in and tune out.
Check the references.
It's the only show you need to listen to.
It's his perspective and the only one.
You hear people say, hey, you can't love anyone else until you love yourself.
Self-love is most important because you can't love anybody until you love yourself.
No.
My opinion is no.
And the reason I think it's been on my heart is I actually think that can be destructive.
Yeah.
I'm really sorry to have to put you all through this.
Prepare yourself for a pretty long segment.
This is so weird already.
Yeah, it may not really be necessary because I think it all boils down to Stephen just doesn't really understand what self-love means.
No, I think he means that you need to actually, like, just really... He's going to talk about it for a solid ten.
So just prepare yourself.
He just annoys me.
And that's why we're doing this.
OK, let's go.
Now look, let me be clear, you shouldn't hate yourself.
And this, I believe, comes from a biblical prescription of, you know, if you're forgiven by God, who are you to not forgive yourself?
You shouldn't hate yourself.
And you should strive to, I don't want to say love yourself, but respect yourself.
To become someone worthy of respect.
But to assume that you, or as a blanket statement, that everybody should automatically love themselves.
That you right now watch it.
Of the millions of you who will watch this once this is done.
That you should love yourself.
I don't agree with it.
Not to mention there's huge societal confusion right now of love versus being in love with yourself.
Look, you should respect yourself.
I want to correct this.
I want to be careful with my words.
You should want to mold yourself into someone worthy of your respect.
Wait until he finds out what go fuck yourself means.
So when you love yourself, of course, you're better equipped to love other people.
You're not kind of carrying around... What about being in love with yourself?
That's very interesting.
Don't know what that means.
And actually, I think that that might be more of what he's thinking this means.
Oh, totally.
His whole thing here is just this weird... It's a vanity thing.
It's part of his binary stance on things.
He thinks that love is the same thing as being in love.
And before we move too far into this, he used to do this thing every Thursday called Crowder Closes, where he does this kind of intimate, self-help-y... Like Jerry Springer's Final Thoughts?
Kind of.
I liked his bringing this up, and he's like...
You know, it's kind of got like a silly name or whatever, but you know, we kind of do this for a long time and it's just like... He pretended like he didn't remember what he called this segment.
I think it was called Crowder Closes or something?
Something like that, I don't know.
I think it was, yeah, I don't know.
I was in this show since for like a decade or more.
Yeah, we're gonna break this whole thing down, but I've been in therapy for a while.
I know that, you know, when you don't love yourself, Or when you do love yourself, you're not carrying around so much personal baggage, you know?
Where you can forgive yourself.
Exactly!
Yeah, yeah.
I don't think that... This is weird because it sounds almost like Stephen thinks that if you earn enough experience points that you, like, love yourself.
Huge theme here.
And it's not like that.
And other people owe you love.
No, no, no, no, no.
No, but that's what he thinks.
Of course.
Yeah.
Yeah, because he of course uses people as mirrors and he seeks their validation.
That's what he thinks.
I guess that's a reason that he shares love and then he interprets what comes back as reinforcement to love himself.
Yeah, I think, I think you're right.
Yeah.
I mean when you love yourself, you have more empathy and compassion for others.
Like that's a good reason to, you know, love yourself before you love other people.
Sure.
Yeah.
But the idea that if you don't love yourself If you're not in love with yourself that you can't love others?
How does that make sense?
We hear it a lot and not many people argue over that point.
But how does that make sense?
I would much sooner believe that someone who dislikes themselves is capable of serving and loving others before someone who adores themselves.
To use those extreme examples.
Let me give you a point.
Let me give you an analogy.
Let's say a man, not a drunk driver, but a man accidentally hits a child.
Who walks across the road in the middle of the night.
I knew someone like this.
The child didn't die, but I know that sometimes those kinds of things happen.
Such a sketchy friend, Steven.
Such a weird story to start with.
Very weird.
Let's say a man, not a drunk driver.
I didn't assume a drunk driver.
It's Gerald Morgan.
It's a guy.
Gerald hit a kid at night.
Ahoy!
That's Dave Lando!
I know, I know.
We can cut this if you don't think it's appropriate, but I don't know if you remember when I ran an old man over at night.
I'm leaving it in.
Yeah, I was 19 years old and nary a light on this road but I was driving like almost 40 miles an hour and this man walked in front of my vehicle.
Where are you finding these details?
Because he went through the windshield of my Honda Accord and he spun around in the air and tried to catch himself on his descent to the asphalt and he lost both the shoes.
They went in opposite directions.
I had to talk to the police.
I was sober.
Completely sober when this happened.
Do you love yourself enough to forgive yourself for that?
Yeah, you know, and I do because ultimately it was his fucking fault.
I'm out here trying to live my fucking life and all of a sudden I've got a guy coming through my windshield.
And just to be like totally honest, it haunted me for a really long time.
It like really did.
It was like a really awful thing.
I can't imagine like going through it again and I mean also it happened so quickly that it's like hard to every detail like I know everything that happened in it but like all of this happened within like I don't know 15 seconds and it kind of didn't change my life or anything like that but it definitely hung over my head it was like god it sucked that that happened but I didn't ultimately like lose any love for myself I lost a little love for that guy's family when they tried suing me, but it was a really pretty easy thing to overcome in the grand scheme of things.
I don't know.
You know, that's a complicated part of life.
I mean, we'll get into the difference between Can I add one more detail to this?
Yeah, of course.
The officer who gave me the breathalyzer and all this stuff, he's looking at my vehicle and he sees that there is a footprint on the hood of my car.
And he's like, is this his footprint?
And it was a waffle bit.
So it's like, no, that's definitely a van's footprint.
When I had gotten home from work, my roommate challenged me to a wrestling match out in the streets.
So we were out there.
He's wearing a luchador mask and we were just, you know, having it out.
I got on top of the Honda Accord.
Man, I jumped off that thing.
I leg-dropped him off the top of that thing.
So the cop asked me that and I had to tell him that actually, no, I beat my roommate's ass earlier in the evening.
Right before we got in the car.
Backyard wrestling.
Yeah.
Love is an emotion.
Respect is a behavior.
And it can be an expression of love, of course, but respect sustains love and love drives respect, Stephen.
It's different.
I'm just really curious to hear more about his perspective on this because in general, like I think of loving myself as just allowing myself to forgive myself for errors in my past.
Sure.
Respecting that I'm making decisions that are for myself.
Yeah.
I just, I mean, it's, it's weird because I don't think of love as like a switch.
Like I can check like, Oh, according to my, according to my records, I do love myself.
Sorry.
Love though.
Love.
Loving yourself before you love anyone else.
I think I still think it's important because love includes emotional affection and care, which you should be pointing inward.
And I just think the general theme of that sentiment isn't like you need to have this to get that.
It should be just that when you get into a relationship, it should not be as some means to band-aid your own mental health problems.
You shouldn't be using other people to, you know, uh, To fix yourself.
Subsidize.
Yeah, you're gonna subsidize your emotions.
About yourself.
And that's fair.
And you don't need to use people as a ladder to feeling more love towards yourself.
Yep.
But also, yeah, back to respect.
It involves treating people with consideration and acknowledgment of their individuality, which of course we're gonna talk about in a segment here in a little bit.
Back to Steve.
Steve.
Do you believe that that person is less capable of loving someone else?
than an Instagram self-infatuated model who undoubtedly loves themselves?
And why are you the only person to whom this applies?
What?
If you don't love yourself.
Instagram models undoubtedly love themselves.
Yeah, they love themselves.
Is he thinking that, like, the internet-portrayed arrogance of somebody is loving yourself?
I don't... First of all, there's no universal, if you take hot pictures of yourself, you feel this way.
No, there is, actually.
Oh, never mind.
He's right.
He unlocked the fucking code, dude.
Influencers hate this one simple trick.
To ignore the fact that, I mean, there may be beautiful people who still have, like, gaps in their confidence.
With every word, I thought you were going somewhere else.
Oh.
Beautiful people with large...
Gaps in there.
And I was like, what are we talking about here?
That's not what I was gonna say.
I thought we were on a roller coaster.
Can we like do a Mad Lib?
Can we do a Mad Lib here?
Can we do Steven Crowder Mad Libs?
No!
Yes we can, of course.
We can just grab an adjective from him.
Sure.
People are capable of loving all kinds of people while disliking others.
What?
Including yourself.
Doesn't that go against everything that he's been saying over the last several weeks?
Not only is this self-help bullcrap designed to keep the feed, the beast, going in your Instagram or your TikTok, whatever it is.
To me, it's more pervasive and we see this a lot.
It's designed to convince you that you're never wrong.
That you should have no shame.
Mm-hmm.
So, one, does anyone think that Stephen got left on read by some Instagram model?
He definitely fucking did.
Okay, this is exactly what the fuck I was just, like, looking at in my notes right here.
Our self-proclaimed Lothario was rejected again.
Something happened.
He had to have been.
I mean, like, someone definitely was like, Stephen, you seem like you're probably an alright person underneath this layer of just absolute hatred for yourself.
Mm-hmm.
What are you hiding?
What don't you want people to see?
He was forced to reflect and then he just blocked them instead and called them... Whore.
Yeah, exactly.
So I think when he's talking about this he's kind of like for himself saying the quiet part out loud that he thinks that if you think somebody does something wrong that they don't love you.
Which I think he believes that he never loved his wife or something.
Or she never loved him.
He said it in the secret ring can, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, and that- I don't love you, I think is maybe what he said.
Something like that, but it's like a manipulator's view of love.
Like, you know what?
It's transactional.
Totally, yeah, I mean, I love people who do things wrong sometimes.
Honestly, like, I think what you just said about the ring cam, that comes back in here in just like a matter of minutes, I feel.
What a great energy to start with, by the way.
I'm loving this start.
It's gonna get crazy.
Well, I mean, we're gonna get into some less, you know, opinion-based conversation.
Well, I mean, this is not opinion.
This is fact, okay?
Listen.
Fact number one.
If you love yourself, you're also in love with yourself.
Fact.
You're married to yourself.
Googling at yourself.
Pictures of yourself.
This idea to convince you that you should love yourself first before you try and love anyone else.
That must mean that you're never... you are always right.
You are priority number one.
You shouldn't be ashamed.
And you know what?
Sometimes you should.
I know sometimes I should.
Do you?
We shouldn't live in shame.
But we've all done shameful things.
And it's not self-loathing to want to work at it.
And to want to improve yourself so that you may potentially lift your own veil of shame to become someone you can truly respect and ultimately love.
You can't love someone you don't respect.
Did he just flip the script on himself?
Did he just describe what self-love is?
I mean, in a way.
The mountain, to climb this mountain of working on yourself to be somebody that you respect and can be around?
Yeah, in this way.
As he's saying, but he just said that it's bullshit.
Yeah.
He said that you don't need it.
I think he just truly has no idea of what that means.
No.
Well, he doesn't understand the difference between shame and guilt either.
Because I'll wound up there.
You know, shame is, shame is I am wrong and guilt is I did something wrong.
And I think I think that if you start looking at things that way, like that's the big first step, Steven.
You're not a bad person because you hit a kid.
But you may have done something.
Well, I don't think Jared did anything wrong.
No, I don't think so.
But you may feel bad.
Nah, I just tried my hard.
Of course, you'll feel guilty.
I felt bad.
I did feel guilty.
And yeah, you know what?
I got over it.
Of course.
I said, you know what?
Out of your control, my friend.
Because I like myself and I can call myself my friend, Steve.
Ultimately, if you believe there's no free will, which Steve doesn't believe because you're given free will by the power of Jesus Christ or Lord and Savior.
Of course, divine intervention.
We love it.
Take a big hit.
Everyone is doing the best they can at all times.
At a certain moment in time, you may only have the maximum capability to do wrong.
Steven in his position may, you know, he is doing the best he can do.
He's got a lot of things going wrong.
I also I like to this juxtaposition of him.
I fucking hate myself.
I'm a fucking huge piece of shit.
Maybe I can work on it.
Maybe I can do it.
You know anyway on with the show.
Strange animal, you're a strange animal.
Well, we got a couple more clips before we, you know, kick off.
I think what I find so funny about this is like this type of weird, like literal binary thought around this is the same reason that like when someone has like a not my president bumper sticker about Trump, that people would be like, Uh, yeah he is.
Idiot.
The people who say, yeah he is, right?
That's because they can't understand the... Oh, the message behind, yeah.
They can't understand, yeah, the messaging behind it.
The metaphors.
They can't understand anything other than like a literal, like... They looked up love in the dictionary and they're like, oh, that doesn't work.
It's like a robot talking about love, kind of.
Sure.
Like, why would my love affect any other love?
How do you get to the point?
Of.
Moving past your shame and becoming someone.
Of.
I'm sorry.
Of course.
He has these like ums, ofs, like single syllables, and it sounds like he has a soundbite that he hits.
A completely different tone.
Yeah.
Let's start this clip again.
Listen to when he says of.
How do you get to the point of moving past your shame and becoming someone you respect and can ultimately love?
By loving others.
First.
First.
Before yourself.
What's a good book say on that, Steve?
By serving others.
First.
Before yourself.
By esteeming others.
First.
Tell it.
So the first step is not self-love.
The first step is being self-less.
It's loving others first.
Is he working out?
He is not doing well.
Love others enough.
Serve others enough.
And only then can you truly respect or love yourself.
I think we've done it in reverse.
Yeah, so I feel like I don't have the Bible verse, but isn't there like a thing about like cleaning your own house first?
I have no idea.
I don't believe in God or the Bible.
I think there's something like that, or at least that's a saying.
What do we got here?
Therefore, if we want to clean house, let us clean first out our own house, and then let us clean up the church itself before we attempt to condemn the evil world around us.
Matthew 7, 1 through 5.
Thank you, Jared.
I think it's interesting that he wouldn't see that as like, you know, his house starts with him, right?
Clean your own house first, and then Like, does he have any friends with the Dr. Peterson?
Like the esteemed Dr. Peterson?
Yeah, yeah, the guy with the rules for life.
Yeah.
I feel like when I hear him talking about this, this is vulgar, it's me vulgar, we can cut it if you want.
But when I hear him talking about this, I feel like Stephen is the kind of guy who wouldn't go down
on a...
I don't want to beat a dead horse.
I just don't think he sees people as people.
He's using them as objects, you know, like a validation machine to feel his self-worth.
You know, you do enough good things for people and that makes you a good person.
I'm sorry, Steve.
That's not how it works.
I think it is actually.
You'd be amazed.
It's crazy.
Wow.
Yeah, it's crazy.
I actually, the only reason I donate is because then it turns, I get like dates and stuff.
Well, it's a lot easier for me to hate myself, so... Can I go that route?
That's crazy.
And just do nice things to people until I feel good about me.
Sorry about all this, boys.
A weird 25-minute way to start the show.
Discussing a 10-minute rant, but... 25 minutes?
Oh my god.
Yeah, he just rubbed me wrong.
Well, at least he rubbed you wrong before he rubbed himself wrong.
I mean, it was definitely some like freak shit.
He's telling on himself and he doesn't even realize, I'm sure.
Well, it's strange animal time.
We've got a couple new ones sitting in third chair.
This is a first since we started our podcast.
Two folks sitting in this third chair.
And they're actually sitting on each other's lap, which was kind of interesting.
I thought they didn't give him a second chair at all.
It's kind of rude.
Kind of weird.
Now people know who's in third.
Just let's hit their music.
You know who it is.
Queen?
Yeah.
Keith and Kevin Hodge, the Hodge twins.
How are you gentlemen?
Oh, we're doing amazing.
Yeah?
Yeah.
Yeah, no.
I love myself.
I love Steven.
I love you, Keith.
Oh, this is weird.
I love white people.
I really love white people.
Where'd that come from?
This invasion of the twin snatchers.
Now.
It really is.
Cool joke.
It's the Hodge twins, everybody.
Cool.
What chemistry?
You know, I'm always harping on this music here.
What?
Just how unimaginative is this?
It has nothing to do with royalty, right?
I'm gonna do the John Cena song.
That would have been better.
That would have been better.
Yeah, of course.
I mean, 100%.
That would have, like, I don't know.
Can I come out to that Coming Out song?
It's just coming out, coming out!
You guys haven't decided on your guys' theme song still.
Well, I gotta keep thinking about it.
Mind If I Do For You by Father MC.
That's fun.
Although he definitely announced this during the replatforming episode, the Hodge Twins Uncensored starts October 12th exclusively on Mug Club, and Kevin and Keith are here to promote it, I guess?
I don't know much about the Hodge Twins, but I should know more about them.
Well, I think that they might be big fans of 1996's hit film, Jerry Maguire.
Oh God, yeah.
We didn't show the opening clip where they reenacted.
Not worth looking at or hearing.
Certainly not.
Low energy.
Real low energy, and 1996 also played in until last week.
I was just curious, the Verve Pipe Freshman parody?
1996 track as well.
Same year.
Quite interesting.
Kind of stuck in there, I think.
The Hodgetwins, they, for a minute, were doing kind of like the Lucas Brothers.
Or the Sklar Brothers, two-man act stand-up comedy in Los Angeles.
In fact, a friend of ours did some comedy with them before they became at conservative twins on Twitter slash X. They're, I don't know, not smart.
Okay.
They don't know really much about what's going on politically.
Oh, I didn't catch that with them on this episode.
Well, yeah.
Spoiler alert, they don't say much.
I'm excited to hear what they have to say.
I have an open mind and I might be conservative by the end of this show.
Open mind and you can hear me, right?
Yep.
And then one of the Hotchwins took off his headphones so he won't be able to hear these clips.
It's protest.
Yeah, it's a friendly protest.
What, is something wrong with your headphones?
Yeah, I can't hear shit.
Your production sucks.
You turned the knob down?
What happened over there?
You know what?
Right now, get out.
Hey, hit the like button if you're watching on YouTube.
Not for this, not for this, but... Well, no, no.
Don't just hand him the headphones!
He just handed him the- he took them off because he's just like, oh no, you can't hear because there are no headphones.
The volume was down on the knob, he just had to turn the volume knob.
Have you never encountered a volume knob?
I didn't know it came with a dob.
I showed you the dob.
Oh lord.
Okay, now I can hear everything.
Yeah, you can adjust it on your side there.
Yeah, you can go- you just spin it.
Louder, lower, louder, loader.
Oh, okay.
Okay.
We don't use headphones.
Louder, louder.
That's because you two are joined at the hip.
They go to the bathroom together.
It's very entertaining.
Yeah, farts.
Steven is pretty much just as nice to them as he is to Brian Callan.
I don't know how he gets people to even come on his show.
Yeah.
It's just, why the fuck?
It's just weird.
Yeah, you guys, yeah, what do you guys, hold each other's dicks when you piss?
Very cool.
Cool, cool, cool, man, cool.
So far, you're quite enjoying the energy of this episode, Dennis.
It's weird, man.
It's fucking weird.
We start talking about love and now they're just like, It's got a volume knob!
Aren't you fucking idiots ever seen something in a studio before?
Come on.
Go piss together.
Yeah, it does kind of suck.
I do have a question though, and I'm curious to know.
Who do you think has the job of flicking through TikTok so Steven can take it too seriously?
Probably some intern who fucking hates everything.
Yeah, Toolman maybe?
Well, I mean, he might be one of the last employees at this place.
I bet.
I bet it's like Stephen's dad does it.
He gets paid to take a shit.
That's kind of cool.
Papa Crow.
It is that time again.
Here's something else before we get into everything that you've already seen in the rundown.
Apparently women in relationships, now they need to go clubbing.
Also mothers, by the way, need to go clubbing with their single friends.
Otherwise, they are not being their authentic selves.
And we wonder why relationships aren't working and women are more unhappy than ever.
This is our Lukewarm Take of the Week.
How would you need to go to a club with just your girls?
Seriously.
You say that your partner is your best friend.
My best friend, I want to do everything.
If I go to the store, I'm like, yo, come tag along with me.
Because they're not accepting you for who you are.
And I think it does work both ways with women.
Women are usually going to the club by themselves.
And that's what I was doing in that relationship.
I was going out with my friends because I could act like myself.
And he always tried to repress who I was.
And I was like, Okay.
Okay.
Yeah, I mean that's not the last one.
and doing whatever I wanted and he would always judge me for it.
Okay.
I think that's why people go out separately because they want to be themselves without
being judged.
Okay.
Did he make a whore joke?
Yeah, I mean that's not the last one.
Okay for sure.
Oh no Dennis, they're about to go in on these whores.
Oh God.
They're not gonna spare anyone.
Any one whore will not be left turned over.
I think this resonates so strongly with him because Steven is the exact type of boyfriend that this girl didn't like and didn't feel like she could be herself.
Exactly.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And I mean that's the most important thing is she says her boyfriend tried to repress who she was.
Yeah.
So they broke up.
Yeah.
And that's fine.
That's fine.
If she finds a partner that doesn't mind this, that's the right partner for her.
Yeah.
Or if she ends up not finding a partner, it's up to her to reassess and maybe change that.
Like, but that's all up to her.
Well, I think she should probably just actually listen to Steven here.
Oh, good.
I think she should just let him call her a whore because she wants to go clubbing with her friends because that's what people are allowed to do.
Now if everyone changed once they became mothers there would be no crack babies so it's not lost on me but a lot of people realize it's so much more fulfilling to be home and have their children and hey mommy daddy right even watch a film with your kids teach them something that that means a whole lot more than going out and having sex on the beach.
Shots.
Is that a shot?
This is me being my authentic self.
Well that's a bad self.
It really is, and being judged, you should be judged!
Yeah!
Holy shit, I love that he had compared watching a film with your kid and teaching them something as like the same thing.
Well... You know, for one.
TV's is life.
Yeah, but here's the thing.
Plenty of parents go out and party.
Not Steven, and not lately.
That is for sure.
Does he have kids?
He does, he has twins.
I think that's what the beginning of this show was referring to, is the lack of partying going on in his life.
It all makes so much more sense.
He's trying to feel better about himself.
That's the theme of this episode.
I'm glad you just pulled that out.
It's weird that he jumps from like hoarding, serious relationship, you know, skips over all of that, engagement, marriage, you know, being a young married couple and goes like, you need to be at home raising your kids.
You don't get a fucking life outside of this house, you whore!
Alright, that's, I think, the whore quota, right?
Oh my god.
They're gonna say it some more, aren't they?
I'm just trying to keep up with them, I don't know.
I think, when I listen to this, all that I see is just Steven really projecting hard.
So hard.
Like, he's like a straight up, like, he's like a 4K short throw projector here right now.
I'm having like a Spidey Sense thing.
Didn't you talk about the Ring Cam footage earlier?
I did, yeah.
But famously, he was like, I wanna go hang out with the boys!
I gotta go see Papa Crowder!
He does bring up the boys a little bit, but before that, his very specific, very narrow worldview is interrupted by some people sitting a couple chairs down.
Well, I make the most of the situation, of course, so I do all the dirty, naughty things I wouldn't do to my real woman.
You mean you'd find another woman?
Oh, she's just a whore for you.
Yeah, that's what she is.
So you're like, can I just watch?
You're a sick woman.
Sick human beings.
The sick thing to do.
Who's taking advantage of her.
Yeah, cool.
That doesn't really vibe with what Stephen's saying much, but... No, yeah, this lot of left field taking advantage of the woman.
Push forward.
Yeah.
It's not the first time we've heard Stephen make this argument.
Men have not changed what they want out of women in a relationship.
Women have changed what they want.
Women used to want to find a man, right?
Oh, do I have the ring?
That meant lock him down, right?
Having monogamy, right?
Having someone who can provide, protect.
Now, men want a woman who is nice, who is supportive, who makes the house feel like a home, where they come home and go, ah, safe haven.
Guys, let me know.
That's what men want.
That's why billionaires marry waitresses.
Women change what they want because, sadly, up until not too long ago, they weren't allowed to want things.
Yeah, exactly.
Women are just settling into what they want.
They're learning what they want because they've been so oppressed.
I'll tell you what the hell it is.
It's that they're these horrid provocateurs of the night masquerading with a thin veneer of purity while sucking every man's bone dry from his cock to his wallet.
I find it funny that his analogy is that's why billionaires marry waitresses.
Yeah, well, that's interesting.
He's said this before and I know I did a little research.
Oh god, what's it from?
He's kind of right It's I mean, I'm sure it's in a movie.
Of course, there's always like what's what's the one?
Richard Gere pretty woman.
Yeah, there's pretty woman, right?
I mean, that's a big mistake version.
I've never seen it.
Actually, I haven't either Howard Hughes married an actress slash waitress named Jean Peters, Warren Buffett met his wife when she was a waitress at a bar, and in 2007 a member of Dubai's ruling royal family married a 19 year old waitress from Belarus?
I think this just means that rich guys love going for young girls because they are more easily taken advantage of.
Ding ding ding.
So they look for vulnerable women.
Yeah, I mean, yeah, that's a thousand.
And that's what Steven wants, right?
That is men not changing what they want.
Okay, okay.
And women now want to be respected.
What the fuck?
What is that all about?
This is bullshit.
Jesus.
However, much like Mel Gibson in the 2000 rom-com, Steven knows what women want.
Okay.
We're women now, so I want a man, I want him to be ready to provide, protect, and serve for me, and then I want to be able to go out and do all the things that I also enjoyed when I was single.
And I want him to be strong, I want him to be masculine, but I also want him to be sensitive, but not too sensitive, and I want him to pay for everything even though I want to have equal rights on every single front.
Also, um, I like to whore around a little bit.
Yikes.
Okay.
Holy fuck, man.
This guy got rejected hard this week.
Something really bad happened.
He definitely got ghosted.
You know, he's really fun at a party.
You know, he's got the personality of the... If you're the person who rejected Steven, please contact us.
LouderThanCrowder at gmail.com.
I'd love to hear from you.
This is a Shrug Club.
This is Shrug Club undercover exclusive.
Just the personalities of the soggiest blankets, these guys.
This is the wettest blanket.
None of those things were wrong to like, if you have a preference for any of those things, wherever on the spectrum to feel protected or if you want to, even if you want a guy who does have money, that is a woman's right to feel that way.
It's a man's right to want a woman with money as well.
And you can want so many different things, and I don't know why he's pigeonholing everything.
Men only want pretty women to make their dinner and be nice to you.
It's not that simple, Steven.
No, it's not that simple at all.
Relationships are just about compatibility and consent.
That's it.
Exactly.
But what does Gerald think of this young lady on TikTok?
I'm just guessing on the types of guys that she's gonna bring in.
Is it okay if those guys continue to go out and have guys nights where they go out and find random girls to hook up with and just kind of sleep around and never do anything around their house?
It's probably kind of a mess because they really don't spend a whole lot of time there.
They're drunk most of the time.
Can they do that and not pay any attention to you at all so that you can go out clubbing with your girlfriends?
Because that seems like that would be the fair way to go because you don't want to judge him for being him.
Right.
Now, these guys are douchebags, don't get me wrong, but you're a whore.
He literally described Steven's rant on the ring camera and then called him a douchebag.
Going to the club is the same as guys bringing girls home to have open, drunken sex with them.
This is just that classic Chad stance that all women want to do is just sleep with every man.
Of course.
Like, dudes are just fucking, man, like... Dude, all day long.
I've been doing these guys much wrong, I found out.
Like, these guys that he made up, they're just, like, fucking...
Fucking dude.
They're fucking hard.
Doing back shots and stuff.
And Gerald's thinking about this this whole time.
He's looking at Stephen from across the room.
He's thinking about these guys doing back shots.
But honestly, what is he trying to fucking describe here?
He has this scenario that he just drew for us here.
He painted this lush picture of these whores and these douchebags.
But it's like, Are you pulling from like the tales of Gerald?
This is verbatim incel talk.
What is this?
Where is this coming from?
Steve sells.
Gerald sells.
Gerald sells.
But there's a compromise.
Find a compromise!
This is what we're talking about, the self-love.
There's a compromise here.
Of course go out with your girlfriend.
Of course go out with your guy friends.
That's fine.
Even if you guys want to go out to the pub, have a drink, have a sandwich, watch a sports game, whatever it is that you watch, the sports ball.
You want to go out with your girlfriends, go to a movie, have a girlfriend, fine.
But not if that's your identity.
That identity cannot be reconciled with that of a mother and a wife.
Just like the identity of a man who wants to go out and sleep with every single person who he can find.
It's not something that is congruent with being a father and a husband.
That's it.
It's that simple.
The problem is men are still punished if they go out and live out their worst base instincts.
And women are praised for it!
No, they're not.
What did he do?
I don't know.
He got yelled at hard.
Something really awful happened to him.
He got rejected so hard.
And Stephen, I'm sorry that happened, buddy.
Yeah, dude, sorry.
He's not.
So I don't know that we should be either.
He's not.
He's like, maybe I should feel shame about the things that I've done here today.
Oh, fuck that.
But yeah, fuck that.
They wanted me to feel bad.
Yeah.
Why is going dancing with your friends a worst instinct?
Dude, it's because dancing leads to fucking.
Twerking, dude!
Haven't you seen girls twerking before?
And they're dropping it low and they're like doing this little crab walk thing going bump bump bump with their little butt cheeks on the dance floor.
You've not seen this?
Yeah, and then he's talking about he's talking about making things your identity and he's the one that is forcing this identity on this person.
Yeah, it's someone saying, I like to go clubbing, and he's like, oh, that's your identity now?
This was a 20 second clip about someone who, you know, may not have been ready for the kind of relationship that Steven thinks is correct.
Yep.
I think that Steven realized that this girl doesn't want to date him.
Maybe that's all it is.
Maybe he just saw this video and he feels rejected by this woman.
Do you think it's the video?
He feels like he was attracted to her and thinks that... Just his blood's boiling.
It feels like she's talking to him.
She's talking straight to him.
He's furious.
He's so mad about it.
I gotta say, weirdest episode we've done yet.
He's got some anger.
He's got some anger in his heart.
You're not gonna tell me what I've done wrong, Melody.
I'll tell you what you've done wrong, Melody.
I'll tell you, I swear.
Listen up, Veronica.
If you can listen to this show, it's free on YouTube.
You can hear what I have everything mean to say about you, and I'll say it with my full chest.
Speaking of lukewarm takes, and we have the death of a 90-year-old to get to.
Okay, thank you.
Speaking of whores, they say.
They do say that.
Dianne Feinstein.
Oh, last Friday, of course, passed away at the age of age of 90.
Another one taken too soon.
Now, we rarely take it too soon.
A woman who was well known.
She was well known for breaking the glass ceiling with her face.
Okay.
What do they mean?
I'm wincing at Steven like he's about to wince at the Hodge twins.
You know, all in all, they kind of take it easy on Diane.
They should.
She's the longest serving, like, female senator in history.
She probably shouldn't have served as long.
Of course she shouldn't have, but at the end of the day, let her record speak for itself and just be like, you know, hey, listen, all right, cool.
She had a good run.
She had a good run.
It's done.
She had a good run.
Exactly, that's what I said the other day.
I was like, I just don't feel bad when really old... I don't feel as bad, let me say it that way, when really old people die.
I always feel bad when people die.
Right.
You know, except for Hitler.
But then... Not only except for Hitler.
Well no, I didn't feel bad when the modern died.
I didn't either.
Hamler.
Yeah, there are a lot of people.
If they had a 90-year run, I'm like, well, they weren't taken too soon.
Yeah, exactly.
Also, 90 years old, you shouldn't be in charge of decisions that affect the rest of us and our tax dollars.
That is fair, I guess.
But they move on pretty quickly.
They're far more critical of who Gavin Newsom chose to replace her.
Mostly of her name, as well as her race and sexuality.
LaFonza Butler.
Now, which also, LaFonza Butler in Swahili means, Nothing.
It's a made-up name.
Lafonza means nothing.
What the fuck does Stephen mean?
Black Americans make up and actually has no meaning.
You guys can fact check me on that below.
Yeah, Dick Gritted making up names.
Yeah, so words are all made up, Stephen.
There's a great article in The Conversation called, A Brief History of Black Names from Purley to LaTosha.
I'll put it in the show notes, but basically, predominantly black names are a reflection of the development of black culture and a way of preserving African American heritage.
But, Steven didn't look into that.
Unlike his deep dives into how, say, the Gadsden flag isn't racist, he puts in zero effort into researching why this name is uncommon.
Also, why the fuck do you care?
It's just that person's name.
That's just what they were- It's a name.
It's a name.
His name is Steven Crowder.
Does he involve a lot of crowds in his life?
Like, what the fuck does that even mean, man?
I don't give a shit about what your name means.
I don't.
I give a shit about the shit he's saying.
Oh, interesting.
This is great.
Yeah, what's Stephen?
Occupational name of Crowder.
Someone who plays for a crowd.
Just kind of funny.
Nice, nice.
A string instrument sometimes known as the Welsh fiddle.
Yep, absolutely.
So he's a fool.
I saw him for a fiddler.
He's a town square fool.
He's a town square jester.
Wonderful.
Byron means bold.
You wanna know this one?
What?
Dennis is based on the Greek god of wine, Dionysus, and I am a teetotaler.
Well, that's interesting.
Stephen has his own theory about this lady's name.
Okay, cool, cool, cool.
One of them forgot how to, the name of, they were watching Happy Days, like, I like that one with the leather jacket, what's the, with the one, he hits the jukebox, Lafonza, Lafonza?
The Fonz?
Lafonza!
That's your name!
I don't like- SHUT UP THAT'S YOUR NAME!
I don't like... SHUT UP! THAT'S YOUR NAME!
It's just famously black people talk like Freddie Boo Boo in Washington. Cancel. I dare you, you p-p-p-p-p-p-p-pussy.
So he threatened, he said, uh, cancel me I dare you, you pussy.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You fucking pussies.
I dare you to come after Steven, you pussies.
Feels like he's talking right at us.
He's had such a hard week.
If you need, if you need someone to like, you know, chop your back up a little bit, help you relax, Steven, you know, uh, I'm sure Gerald's there to help you cool it down.
Yeah.
You pussy.
He then goes on to, you know, list things he doesn't like about her.
And, um... Yeah, I think it's pretty clear.
Here are her qualifications for the role.
Uh, she's black.
There you go.
That's a big one.
She's a lesbian.
That's just... That is a qualifier.
And she's a president of Emily's List, a pro-abortion organization, by the way.
So, three things there.
Black lesbian who believes in abortion.
He and Gerald about to go Super Saiyan mode with that combination of libshit.
As you may have come to expect, Gerald, a little LeFou, tags onto Stephen's thoughts.
Pro-abortion, black, lesbian in California.
Nary one to pick from.
Yes, exactly.
Just not a good one.
And by the way, I don't even think they have a great one.
LaFonza Butler.
So we're going to learn more about her, but there's not that much to learn.
Only because he doesn't really care.
I'd be uncalling her a black lesbian.
He didn't even fucking search her out or anything.
Doesn't give a shit.
It's not even that long.
It's a lot, but it's not that long.
Yeah, grew up in Magnolia, Mississippi, attended Jackson State University, which is a historically black university.
At the age of 30, Butler was elected to president of the biggest union California and other reasons Steven might not like her.
Yeah, is that the SEIU? That is right, which is a union of service workers.
Service workers. Yeah. Yeah, it's like two million people.
Just saying it's it's huge. Yeah She spent 20 years in the labor movement including working
on the campaign to raise the minimum hourly wage to $15 in California
Which they were the first state to do that She was an advisor to Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign.
In 2018, she and political consultants A. Smith, Sean Clegg, and Juan Rodriguez formed the political consulting firm SCRB Strategies.
Rodriguez ran Kamala Harris's primary in 2020, and LaFonza was a senior advisor.
After Harris left the race, Butler served as director of public policy and campaigns in North America for Airbnb.
Yuck.
Kind of interesting, but she seems like a fine person to me.
Yeah, she seems qualified for sure.
Not, not, not qualified, certainly.
All those things are things that I think that Stephen would disagree with.
Yeah.
But he knows that his listeners want to hear that she's a black lesbian.
Well, but why not talk about all these other things?
He talks about policy... Because his listeners don't care.
His listeners are racist and bigots.
Yeah, that's true.
That's why he picked those words.
Evangelical racist and bigots.
Because that's the outrage that will get him more Mug Club subscribers.
That is true.
Mug Club sub club.
They've got the stamp card?
Like... Yeah, exactly.
Wow.
Onward.
Last Saturday, New York Congressman Jamal Bowman pulled a fire alarm while Democrats were trying to stall a short-term funding bill.
Maybe.
I think he, like, tried to unlock a door or something.
Is that what he said?
We'll get into that.
So, now there's this focus on Democrat Socialist Representative Jamal Bowman.
I'm accidentally going to call him Brown for some reason during this, but forgive me.
Well, technically.
But I'm just saying, I don't know why in my head it comes out Jamal Brown, but Jamal Bowman.
So here's why.
He pulled a fire alarm.
Well, the Democrats were trying to delay the vote on the spending bill so they could blame it on Republicans.
So this is, you know, there are a lot of tactics that they use out there on Capitol Hill.
This is not chief amongst them.
But every now and then, you know, you have to commit a gross safety violation.
Speaking of gross, that Jamal Brown thing.
Again, this is their second run-through of the show.
Don't say that.
Like, why say that?
Because he's a fucking dumb racist.
It's just the loudest dog whistle.
It's not even a dog whistle.
It's just that he's like, I'm not going to make any efforts to say this brown man's name correctly.
I'm just going to call him Jamal Brown Man or whatever.
It's just blatant fucking racism.
But it's his brand of racism.
It seems innocuous, but you do it 15, 16 times an episode.
And it's like, you know, tell us how you really feel, Steven.
At this point, why not?
Why cover it up?
Visibly frustrated.
I am visibly frustrated.
It's just, it's such like a... It's so dumb, man.
It's so fucking dumb.
Why?
Other than to say, you know, something vaguely racist.
Yeah, he wants to be vaguely racist about it and he wants to say, uh, I don't care enough about this to actually get the name right.
Whatever.
He's trying to piss us pussies off, dude.
A black dude pulled the fire alarm.
Blah blah blah.
That's what he's gonna say.
Yeah, he was trying to open the door, so he pulled this alarm and it was confusing.
Of course, obviously that dog won't hunt.
It's really undeniable at this point.
We've done it in the past, but we need to revisit this because so much has happened.
This is time for this week's installment of Jamal Bauman, What a Piece of Shit.
Cheap dubstep.
Yeah, I just, I left the music in because I wanted to show you kind of the quality of the production here.
Real quick, is there a video?
Can I watch the video?
Of what?
Of the fire alarm pole?
No, there's no video.
There's a still.
It's his hand on the thing and I'll show you some pictures here in a second.
So here's, here's my thought about all this real quick if you want it.
Uh, well, let's, let's, let's go through his statement and then, you know, I'll tell you a little bit about it.
I'll tell you, I'll tell you my thoughts later.
He said, quote, I'm embarrassed to admit that I activated the fire alarm, mistakenly thinking it would open the door.
I regret this and sincerely apologize for any confusion it caused.
I was rushing to make a vote.
I was trying to get through the door.
I thought the alarm would open the door.
I didn't mean to cause confusion.
I want to be very clear.
This was not me in any way trying to delay the vote.
Yeah, I'm kind of with Jared on that.
It was the exact opposite.
Hold on a second.
So it was the opposite?
So you were trying to really, really vote?
You thought that was the lever?
Yeah.
I was trying urgently to get to a vote, which I ultimately did.
All right, come on now.
I don't mind this line of commentary on it, I guess.
I don't think I do either.
I do have an issue with, you know, the direction they take this conversation.
People are trying to make this a huge deal.
Trump on Truth Social said, Will Congressman Jamal Bowman be prosecuted and imprisoned for very dangerously pulling and setting off the main fire alarm system in order to stop a congressional vote that was going to go on in DC.
It was very dangerous obstruction of an official proceeding the same as used against our J6 prisoners.
Our J6 prisoners.
Trump didn't write that tweet.
I guarantee it.
You don't think so?
No, too wordy.
Too fucking dumb.
He says a lot of stuff.
Actually, his act may have been worse than what happened at J6.
Wow.
Marge Green said the same thing.
Jamal Bowman must be treated exactly the same as Jan 6th defendants.
He was a school principal, which is true.
Just adding some facts onto the end there.
Yeah, honestly though... He likes Swiss cheese.
This door is kind of confusing.
I have an image here pulled up.
Emergency exit only.
What does the sign on the door say?
It says, push until alarm sounds 3 seconds.
Door will unlock in 30 seconds.
I've never seen a door like this.
Like, push and hold for 3 seconds, then wait for 30, and then you can leave?
Yes, I guess you push the handle of the door for 3 seconds, the alarm goes off for 3 seconds, and then the door unlocks either 27 seconds or 30 seconds after that.
But at the same time, I'm looking- That's a fucking crazy math equation.
But there's all this emergency exit and all this stuff.
Now I feel like, uh, that maybe this could actually be confusing.
It's really confusing, especially if you look in the middle, the way that they stack the words.
You could read it vertically, and it says, push alarm and tell sounds.
That's a really easy, if you're in a stressful situation, way that you could read that incorrectly.
Totally.
And pull the fire alarm.
Whatever.
Of course Gerald disagrees, and then Stephen goes on to admit to a crime.
Yeah, yeah, I love this.
This is the dumbest argument I've ever heard.
I pulled a fire alarm because I didn't know how to work a door.
It has a sign on it that explains how to work the door.
By the way, I did this once.
I did this once.
I was supposed to show up to this- But you did it on purpose.
It was a holiday exhibit where I was taking my little ones and when I showed up- This may be a crime, be careful.
Hypothetically.
It was at the wrong location and instead I showed up to like some blog con thing and it was some guy walking around in latex and like anime and at this point I could see my channel looking like this is weird and I just said, I just gotta get out of here.
Alert!
Alert!
So I could open the door and get out.
Just took the fire exit.
Great.
So he saw Goku and he fucking pissed his little shit pants.
He just, he, he fucking said, nope.
I, oh man, that dude, that's, that, that's, that's Vegeta over there.
And he's green and that's scary.
Oh no.
Oh man.
So where do you stand on all this?
So my stance is, uh, just investigate what happened.
Yeah, and they are.
There's an active investigation by the Capitol Police going on right now.
And if after the investigation they found that it was like he did something wrong, then prosecute him as you normally would.
Sure, and I don't think that you are right to equate, not you, but people, to equate this with an insurrection.
Well, here's what I think's funny is that they are equating it to an insurrection, implying it is bad.
Yes.
It's interesting.
Interesting.
It can't be both things.
It can't be they're innocent.
They did nothing wrong.
Just like Jamal Bowman.
Are they saying Jamal Bowman is innocent?
Well, I think you're onto something there.
It's like they're literally saying, well, if he did that, that's as bad as what we did.
It's pretty interesting.
Just investigate what happened.
And if he should be prosecuted for it, then prosecute him for it.
That's simple enough, right?
Yeah, they give him a fine for $190.
Is that what he got?
No, but that's probably what it is if they were to.
It'll be something like that.
Right?
Yeah, they'll slap his hand.
He's like, hey man, you shouldn't be touching these things.
But then also, maybe it is a mistake and there's a good... Like, read this thing.
It's hard to read and I didn't understand what I was doing.
It's a fucked up sign.
If we do want to compare them... I don't know.
What he did was absolutely fucking not as bad as what happened on January 6th.
Not even kind of.
On the contrary Dennis, Bauman is a horrible person.
Oh is he?
That makes way more sense.
Yeah, here we go.
As you read, he was a principal.
And they go on to attack how the majority of the students at an academy that he set up in the Bronx, they're below their grade level in math and reading.
Okay.
I think they said something like 30-some percent.
Sadly, the United States is 30-something percent on average performing.
Compared to our... So, he was an average principal?
Peers.
Program for International Student Assessment, I believe, is the one that they take 15 year olds and they test them across, it's like 71 different countries.
We rank 38th out of 71, so we're not doing well.
The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development found that the U.S.
ranked 30th in math and 19th in science out of 35 members.
Yeah, it's not just what was his academy called the Cornerstone Academy for Social Action.
It's not just his school that is struggling.
It's a huge problem.
Well, this is like one of those times when people will pull out a stat that proves the other side's point.
Proficiency aside, what were the other things that they didn't like Jamal for?
They said that they didn't like that he wanted to do a International Day of Hip-Hop or something like that?
Yeah, but I'll tell you what, Gerald was into the Day of Hip-Hop, right?
Because he finally purchased that MC Lyte record off of iTunes last week.
And now it's number one because one person bought it.
That's basically how it works.
He also wanted Colin Kaepernick to be quarterback of some team that he liked.
Jamal.
What an asshole.
Total piece of shit.
He shows a clip where Jamal Bowman's like...
More guns lead to more gun deaths and then some dipshit is like pointing at him hard in the chest and says, no school allows teachers to open carry.
So he's obviously a dipshit for that.
Like obviously, obviously terrible.
Yeah, of course his school formation.
I looked into this a little bit and I guess like mostly that his school is like a little under like it's like 4% under like where they should be for math but they're like basically like right there with uh with reading comprehension as far as like this the entire state of New York which is like I don't know how many schools that is.
I'm curious about Bronx specific.
It might be right in line with that specific borough.
It seems like they're like yeah that they were the same as all their peers like it doesn't seem that wild that on the national level of this that like our schools just don't even really rank that well overall is maybe more of you know the story here I don't necessarily think that that's like the teachers like how Stephen would probably Point that out to be, but more so on the fact that we keep taking money away from public schools.
In droves.
It's basically like we broke someone's leg and then are upset they can't beat Usain Bolt in a race.
Yeah, yeah, you're not running fast enough anymore.
Sorry, sorry we hurt you.
But I also want to say too that he like basically just yada yadas over this whole thing too.
He's like it doesn't actually matter.
He even like says something to the effect of that.
He's like, we hate him, right?
All right, cool.
Let me know some reasons.
I think much like our show, he really front loaded it with his personal feelings.
He had to jump over a bunch of stuff.
And I mean, just like we did, we didn't talk anything about the government funding bill or Matt Gaetz or anything like that.
The ousting of...
I don't think at this point that the ousting had happened.
Oh, you're right, probably not.
Back-to-the-door situation.
Yeah, let's go back to the door, please.
Steven makes a pretty good case for negligence, which I thought was kind of interesting.
What did you think?
You thought there wasn't going to be a camera of you pulling the fire alarm?
It's right there every day.
Worse, I'll be okay because I'll just say it was an accident.
I was trying to get out of the doors.
And then his excuse is, I'll say that the sign was confusing, which is also on camera, sir!
Dude, they fucking got him, man.
Right?
They got him.
He's gone.
Now I'm back on their side again.
I think that he like really fucked it up, this idiot.
He's pulling a fire alarm.
There's a picture of him pulling a fire alarm that's inexcusable.
He's so stupid.
This is just so stupid.
They're coming from this place?
He's a horrible person.
What a bad guy.
They're coming from this place.
They said that he should be keelhauled, by the way.
Keelhauled?
Which I had to look up too.
I don't know what that means.
That's where pirates tie you to the front of the ship and you get dunked in and out of water.
Okay.
And sometimes you drown.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But sometimes the front of the ship's got some Big ol' bazungas on there.
You've got time for those 80, buh-buh. It's the best seat in the house. Exactly. The best seat. Alright. Tie me
It comes from the stance that, like, doesn't he know there's cameras?
If it truly was an accident, you wouldn't care about cameras.
Of course.
Doesn't he know there's cameras?
About the confusing sign?
If he truly thought it was confusing, he wouldn't care about cameras.
Exactly.
And if it's a dumb excuse, why wouldn't he come up with something different?
He had time, too.
He had so much time.
You ever seen the video of someone walking and something crazy happens like a car crashes right in front of them?
Sure.
Do you think anyone ever is like, you fucking idiot there's a camera right there!
It was an accident!
There's a camera dude!
We know it wasn't an accident because it was on camera!
It's just so funny that they think that because something is caught on camera that it cannot be a mistake still.
Yeah, I see what you're saying.
Like what a stupid fucking analogy.
Well, he may have pulled it on purpose though.
He might have, and if he did, prosecute him.
It's kind of funny.
I just don't care.
I mean, I care that if you did it on purpose.
I care what anyone is trying to obstruct.
Of course.
Here's what I'm saying is just investigate and prosecute.
And we will find out soon.
They're looking into it.
I think I just figured out my stance on this.
Oh, what is that?
I don't fucking give a shit.
It's kind of funny and it's kind of not funny.
So therefore it's nothing, right?
They're telling on themselves so much more.
Who, the libs?
Of course they are.
Yeah, they're always telling on themselves.
In this failing culture war, of course they are.
Disgusting behavior.
Horrible people.
Next!
Next is right.
We're not going to get too deep on this next topic.
It's pretty much just the boys saying that the creators of the Poisoned Shot shouldn't get a prestigious award.
Okay.
Nothing new, but a few things did annoy me.
The Nobel Prize in Physiology.
Now, just to be clear, I don't know if you guys know a lot about the Nobel Prize.
You obviously don't.
Now, with the Nobel Prize, when someone says, hey, I got a Nobel Prize, it's kind of like saying I got a free toy in my Happy Meal.
It doesn't really.
Okay.
Thought it was something prestigious.
Special?
No.
Nobel Prize Awards started December 10th, 1901 in honor of a guy named Alfred Nobel.
They gave away five prizes under five categories.
This was called for in his will.
And the economics prize was later added in his memory.
So every year, consistently since 1901, it was five and then eventually six prizes every year.
It's not just given away like a McDonald's toy.
They give like a million dollars, but did they, did they used to give them a million dollars too?
I'm sure financially it was different.
It's, it's probably been adjusted.
That'd be sick if in 1901 they're giving a million dollars and now it's just kind of like Trump change.
Here's your million dollars, Trump-ass scientist, get out of here.
Of course he brings up that Al Gore and Obama have gotten Nobel Prizes.
And therefore it delegitimizes the entire thing.
Sure, yeah.
Because, fuck those clucks, let's be real.
I think he brings up, I think he brings up who the the creator of mustard gas, one of the gases, There's plenty of situations where they look back and go, that was a fucking mistake.
Yeah, Gaddafi got a prize for human rights in 1988.
I don't know.
Okay, America.
Well, interesting you said America.
Stephen can't just be like, I disagree that they got it.
He has to like shit on the whole program.
Of course, you know what he says about the mRNA stuff.
Yeah, of course.
He loves it.
He's a huge fan.
He says, listen, I've been using my mRNA for my whole life.
I'm glad that we got a little extra.
I've been smoking that mRNA pack for a long ass time, dude, and I never got fucked up from no COVID, dude.
All of that aside, I mean, we know how they feel.
About the vaccine.
The jab.
Sorry, the jab.
The poison?
Oh, did you guys get activated by the way?
I did!
It feels so good.
It feels so good.
My jaw hurts.
Want to hear something real actually?
Yes.
So I was talking with my girlfriend and we were kind of having like a pretty intense conversation and it goes off My whole left arm went numb, and for 50 seconds, I thought there was monsters on the earth.
I thought that I was going to turn into something.
Like, no joke, I was like, if they're right about this one, this is the one they're right about?
You got a numb left arm?
Yeah, and I couldn't stop talking.
You went to the doctor?
I just had a heart attack.
I think I might have had a stroke.
Yeah.
No, I think what's really funny is I thought something similar.
I didn't think like, not when I went off, but like when it was coming and I knew it was coming, I was like, could you imagine if they're right about this one?
Oh my God.
Dude, when it was like coming up on me, I was at work and I was like, I was starting to like breathe all heavy.
It's like, oh shit.
Are you serious?
Oh shit.
There's something like psychosomatic.
And then the drums were like, dun dun dun dun.
And then I was like kind of like, oh shit.
And then all of a sudden I was all, oh, oh, and then I was down with that sickness.
Part of me, as it was happening, an airplane was coming over top of me and I'm like, if I hear that plane crash.
They started dropping fucking guns out onto the streets so y'all could defend yourselves.
Alright, okay.
Dude, I really, I was with you.
I hoped they were right.
I was like, man, this will be the, it'll be fucking sick.
And I have an appointment with my doctor now.
Okay, I gotta get those arms checked out.
Because I trust medical professionals.
Going back to Stephen's beliefs, though, of course anyone who sounds different is evil, right?
Probably, generally.
Fuck yeah, dude.
So the prize for physiology has been awarded to two United States-based researchers for their research and their work on the mRNA vaccine.
The Nobel Assembly at Karolinska Institute has today decided to award The 2023 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, jointly to Kathleen Carrico and Drew Weissman, for their discoveries concerning nucleoside base modifications
Always a good call to have it delivered by a Bond villain.
The vaccine that wears off after six months.
It doesn't give you immunity.
These globalists don't even try and hide it anymore.
No.
It doesn't give you immunity?
People are kind of onto our game here where it almost seems like we're elitist and sinister.
Who should we hand out here to present this prize?
I don't know.
I'm thinking like a Christoph Waltz meets those creatures from The Descent type.
I'm so excited for this vaccine.
It's more like a reward.
I love that they're just making fun of some dude who just like is living his normal life, like that's just... Yeah, they're making fun of Professor Hans Elgren, the Secretary General of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.
He talked different than us, and we're gonna shoot him because of it.
Well, they didn't go that far, but...
Wouldn't be surprised.
It's a Swedish award.
Of course, he's Swedish, so get this, he sounds Swedish.
Wait, he's Swedish, sounds Swedish, because the awards take place in Switzerland.
I have no idea where it takes place.
That's true.
Okay, great.
That makes sense to me.
It all makes sense.
It's just boring.
It's just boring.
That's how I feel about this.
This whole topic is like... Let's make fun of this guy's accent because he gave the physiology course.
And of course they go on to say that he doesn't deserve it because, you know, the mRNA vaccine is bad.
It makes people sick.
It adds... I think it... What did they say?
They were talking about...
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Myocarditis and excess death.
Excess death was the thing they're talking about.
I think excess death went up over 80% between 2019 and 2021.
between 2019 and 2021 and it's because we opened back up and more people died
like that's but but it's also it's it's a excess death right and this is like
from a timeline that starts in 2013 is what that's describing and so this is
also counting 2020 as well so where we had this insane uptick in deaths because
Not just COVID but like the everyday shit that's happening around also just being alive.
Oops I burned my house down and but there's nowhere for me to go because all the hospitals are filled with you know people that are suffering from COVID.
So then I die and that is considered an excess death?
Excess death.
I believe.
So it's like those numbers are already there and they're already accounted for but the excess deaths would be obviously the percentage of more of those types of deaths happening is what it seems.
for whatever reason he like really harps on this thing and it's very like what what are you like the whole reason why we went on lockdown is to try to like not exasperate the hospitals right sure like that's kind of the biggest thing and to completely like ignore that as part of your dumb ass argument Regarding COVID is, um, it's just dumb.
It's just, it's, it's some dumb ass bitch shit.
And that's, this is exactly the type of shit that we've come to expect from our big dumb ass bitch of a host.
That's why it's so boring.
I can't continue to go over feeding into the died-suddenly conspiracy theory.
It's just, it's exhausting.
It only accounts for like, it's like 0.06% of the overall deaths that look like myocarditis.
Despite the risk-reward factor, right?
This is it.
The risk of death is higher for choosing to be unvaccinated than to be vaccinated.
I think they say it's like 65 people out of 100,000 people may experience mRNA related myocarditis.
Yep.
Right?
So it's like... And what percentage of that goes away within one to two weeks?
Like it's a significant portion of the people who do have myocarditis that recover quickly.
Right.
So it's like not even that these people are all dying when they get it.
No.
Which is not how he's putting this at all.
It's just, again, you know, there's a couple things in this section that I was very like, did you pull the clip of him talking about how like he tries to use the scientific method?
No one's rallying against the scientific method.
We tend to use the scientific method on Change My Mind.
Yeah, he did say that.
This is it, and so it's like as if like scientists everywhere are like whoa whoa watch out this fucking conservative tryhard here is trying to uh you know apply the scientific method on a liberal debating with him the existence of trans people and then the aftermath of that is that every scientist is just weeping as Stephen single-handedly eradicated all trans lives or something it's like Like what the fuck?
You know what I mean?
It's like he just says shit and I you know also I'm just saying shit too but I know somewhere out there Stephen Snipples just got hard and he can't figure out why and then he went back to huffing gasoline.
On that note, that's all I can handle this week.
That was our last clip.
And if you disagree with us, feel free to convince us otherwise.
Hey, do you think we could get the Hodge twins to maybe come say a few words over here?
Let's just email them from our email and I bet they'll be confused enough to think it's being asked back on the show.
I mean, they have their own show.
They're probably in pretty steady communication with the boys over there.
I know, but still.
I think we could get them on the show.
I think that could be really fun.
We have some really great listeners who have said some nice things about the show, and I think now would be a good time to maybe highlight some of that.
Yeah, let's do it.
Simply Jonas said, Crowder smells like fish.
Five stars.
And these guys speak the truth.
The right is scared to hear about their favorite smelly boy.
That's right.
We are uncovering the truth about that starch.
That's pretty fun.
That's a very nice review.
And one more.
Let's see.
This is a nice one.
Okay.
Can Glem says, good guys talking about a bad guy.
Byron, Dennis, and Jared have started a journey talking about yet another in a long list of right-wing talentless weirdos.
who somehow have gained popularity against people who can't see that they're being grifted.
You couldn't keep that going?
No, I got out of breath.
I will continue to listen to them so I don't have to listen to Crowder.
Steven Crowder is an adolescent man-baby who makes his money by grifting naive folks looking for hope in all the wrong places.
Change my mind.
Nice.
Wonderful stuff.
I wish I could grift as good as Steven.
That's what I will say.
Man, we gotta launch our Patreon.
We could be good grifters.
I don't think so.
Can we have a show that says, good grift!
With Charlie Brown.
Charlie Brown for sure.
Eddie's trying to kick the vaccine needle.
Let's do it, but we draw Steven Crowder as Charlie Brown.
Good grift, that's great merch.
Let's get Schultz on.
Yeah.
Feel free to, you know, rate and review us on iTunes and Spotify.
Give us the stars.
We really do appreciate it.
I appreciate it a lot.
You can find us on... Read it when I'm bored.
x at then Crowder.
Oh, louderwithcrowder.net.
Louderthancrowder.com.
Coming soon, I would imagine.
Coming soon?
I don't know.
Until next time, though, for Jared and Dennis, I'm Byron.
Gesundheit.
