Welcome to Louder Than Crowder, a podcast about the podcast ladder with Crowder.
My name's Byron, and I'm joined tonight, across from me, it's Dennis.
I'm here.
Hey, how are you?
And our Lone Star brother, all the way in occupied...
Texas, it's Jared.
You can find me out down here in Texas where we're tracking out the measles.
Oh no!
We got a few new boys down here with the measles.
We're checking them out.
I don't even have a response.
It's too sad.
It's too real.
Did you guys know that RFK Jr. did the voice for the octopus on Diddy Kong Racing?
I didn't know that.
Is that true?
No.
Oh, I'm unfamiliar with the franchise.
That's what he sounds like.
Wow.
We're back in the saddle, boys.
It's been about a month since Steven and the Louder With guys left live YouTube in the dust.
20 years old today.
Hmm.
Interesting.
Yeah.
Fun fact.
Even though they never self-censored themselves, of course, and are still uploading daily censored segments.
Yeah, yeah.
Weird.
They want to be the victim on their own terms.
That's pretty cool.
I thought it might be a good idea to play some catch-up to see if the exclusivity of a less regulated Rumble lineup stream has shifted the tone of the show at all.
We're going to be running through segments on the April 10th program, how Trump's massive tariff announcement destroyed China, and the left.
Don't forget the left.
Yeah, I'm destroyed.
April 14th, the most un-American school suspension of all time and the world's worst city in America.
Great.
In Chicago.
Yeah, we're not talking about the suspension or the cities.
Okay.
We're going to round things out, though, with a format that I've been aching to cover from April 17th.
Guru Crowder's tough love.
Oh no.
Oh no.
Grok got sexual.
I wonder what he's gonna teach us.
I bet he could teach us a whole bunch of new science.
Grok got sexual and tried to ruin my marriage.
It's from April 17th.
Wow.
Lots of energy to cover.
It's gonna be a lot.
So we're gonna, I'd say, buckle in, folks.
And before this episode goes...
Because it's going to get dark, especially for Dennis.
Oh, no.
Apologies.
We need to take a second to thank some folks who are supporting us over at Shrug.club.
Hell, yeah.
Hello, Shrug Nation.
You've entered the Shrug-tuation.
Of course, that's the home for all things too hot for the RSS feed, which is Double Salutes, which hasn't gone up yet.
Apologies.
Oh, it hasn't.
That's all right.
Gone up soon.
We'll put it up twice.
One for each hand.
Once is sufficient.
Okay.
Yeah, but also Shrug Club exclusives in that picture of Josh's belly everyone's been talking about.
Oh, yeah.
The internet's alive with that one.
Yeah, all for free.
It always will be.
But some folks chose to support us.
Financially, and we appreciate that.
Yeah, I've been getting Venmos.
Big what?
Huh?
You've been getting private...
I've also...
Yeah, I've been saying that you've been asking for Venmos.
Just send it out to a whole list of people.
And just shrugging.
A little shrug emoji.
Very cool, yes.
I'd like to say a big welcome to KG.
KG.
Oh, I love KG.
KG, thank you so kindly.
What a piece of shit.
And Matt M also supporting us over at Shrug.club.
Matt M, that's a palindrome.
Matt M. It's not.
M to M. No, it's kind of enough.
There's an A. Thanks, M. You piece of shit.
Nice, Matt.
Thank you so much.
If you like what we're doing and want to support us financially so we can do more and be better, or if you just want more for free, like everything is there, visit shrug.club, join Shrug Nation, be a Shrug Clubber, and also a piece of shit.
Wonderful.
I wish I could be a piece of shit.
You are one.
Am I king shit?
What does that mean?
Are we the monarchs of shit?
What the hell are you talking about?
I don't know, man.
It's been a while.
He's trying to pivot from the fact that it seems like he might be money laundering the Venmos back into a shrug nation.
Alright, well that works.
Yeah, forget about that.
Yeah, let's forget about that and let's jump on in, boys.
This sucks.
First, this is an issue that has been near and dear to my heart for a very long time.
Lesbians really beat the crap out of each other, and it needs to stop.
*music*
Hello.
My name is Teresa, and I am a lesbian.
Did you know that lesbian couples face many of the same problems that also plague straight couples?
This ranges from petty family squabbles all the way to domestic violence.
In fact, dick-on-dick crimes occur at even higher rates than straight couples living in rural areas.
According to research, almost 44% of lesbian couples experience domestic violence, compared to 35% of straight women, 26% for gays.
Not to be a Debbie Downer or anything, but I was actually slapped by my girlfriend on the way here.
It's time we put an end to this senseless violence by providing shelter for victims in well-carpeted rooms.
Please donate at batterlesbians.org, and let's make sure that no more lesbians take beatings from their partners.
You, too, can stop the abuse by giving generously at batteredlesbians.org.

And that's how you plug a show.
What the fuck was that?
It was a comedy skit, obviously.
They took our joke.
Instead of going to woke YouTube, it just takes you to rumble.
It does take you to rumble, yeah.
Was that whole thing not real?
I mean, that was one of his employees that he got to do a fake thing about lesbian domestic violence?
I mean, no, he truly believes that statistic.
The idea that lesbians experience domestic violence at higher rates than straight or gay couples is often talked about by Stephen.
This is not the first time.
I've never heard him say that.
But the reality behind the stats is complex and frequently misunderstood.
Many widely quoted statistics, I don't recall the ones he's talking about specifically mentioning rural areas, but I've heard...
I've heard him say, you know, things like 44% of lesbians and 61% of bisexual women experience rape, physical violence, or stalking by an intimate partner.
But that statistic doesn't specify that all of the violence occurred within lesbian relationships.
Some of these women experienced violence from male partners before or after identifying as lesbian or bisexual.
CDC data shows among lesbians reporting violence that one-third had at least one male perpetrator.
Sure, I mean...
And I know there's a big difference between intimate partner violence and sexual assault.
Yeah, but I think, I mean, we should probably trust a specialist on domestic violence.
I think we probably should.
LGBTQ folks are possibly more likely to report abuse, especially in environments where there's less stigma or community support.
Sure.
A lot of reasons that statistic may be inflated, but most reliable studies indicate that domestic violence occurs at a similar rate in same-sex and heterosexual relationships.
So his whole joke was just lesbian violence is funny?
What he's doing is he's using that statistic to create a comedy bit in his Crowder math.
Trying to frame the LGBTQ community as wrong.
Saying that it's because of the statistics about violence that it may just be a bad thing, right?
Yeah, but that's like me telling people they shouldn't eat sweets.
What?
Steven telling people they shouldn't be domestically violent is like me telling people they shouldn't eat sweets.
I really like sweets.
And Steven...
I don't understand the joke.
I mean, it's not funny.
Well, I think I'm just dumb.
That's probably it.
I'm just not smart enough for it.
Well, it's not really a joke for you.
It's a joke for the guests on the show.
Oh, okay.
Nice.
Captain Morgan, CEO number two, is here.
We're glad to have you.
Pops Crowder is here along with the funniest man alive who will be at the Coho's Music Hall in Coho's New York Friday, April 25th.
You can go to nickdip.com for all the dates.
Nick DiPaolo!
Thank you, sir.
It's like Cielo's Corner over here.
Two guys in a balcony hit them up.
Smells funny.
Battering lesbians.
And I told you guys I'd never sell out, but let me tell you about Blue Chew.
Oh, boy.
Here we go.
What is Blue Chew?
It's just a chewable version, right?
It's like Flintstones vitamins for bones.
Why do you look at me when you ask that question?
I really thought it was about something like a kid choking on a piece of steak.
We got Pops Crowder and Nick to follow.
Third share.
Cool.
They're bringing his son some Blue Chews, it sounds like.
Seems like he might be sharing Blue Chew with his son.
Is it like when Chris Gethard on that show and everyone ate Pop Brownies except they all just take Blue Chew and do a show?
Oh, that would be kind of an interesting little program, huh?
We got Pops Crowder.
I feel like that might be the first time that he's actually been on a show.
I couldn't tell you his voice if I heard it.
Yeah, I don't know if he speaks up too terribly much because...
Nick, you know, he's the true star.
He's the funniest man.
He's the funniest man on TV or whatever he said.
I think he's just the funniest man in the world.
Showbiz.
In the whole world?
Yeah.
In showbiz?
I remember.
Y 'all ready to have some fun?
Oh, I love fun.
I was hoping.
Finally.
Before we get to everything else, this is just a lot of fun.
Bernie Sanders did a town hall with Anderson Cooper.
How many communists can you fit in a room?
And to just show you that they can't play by their own rules, Anderson Cooper gets called out by the privileged white feminist, no doubt.
It's just funny to see this sort of civil war.
It's like, privileged white feminist trumps gay host, I guess.
I don't fully know.
And then Bernie Sanders' reaction is priceless.
Welcome back to our live CNN Town Hall.
We're back with Senator Bernie Sanders.
I want to introduce Grace Thomas.
She's a local civil rights attorney.
She's a Democrat, right?
Say them pronouns, actually.
Thank you.
Good evening, Senator Sanders.
Polling and turnout data indicate that men of all racial demographics are turning away from the Democratic Party.
But, of course, white men in particular do not feel that the DNC is messaging.
The answer is yes.
It targets them in the issues that they care about.
Should progressive campaigns craft policies and messaging to better encapsulate these voters?
How do they do so without abandoning marginalized voters of color and gender?
Thank you for the question, Grace.
Do I look like a person of color?
It's just, you just can't, and here's the thing, of course, the woke, the LGBTQ, AI, I don't even know what this woman is.
She's non-binary.
Yeah, MB.
Was Bernie Sanders just thanking?
Thanking them for their question, yeah.
Thank you, Grace.
What a...
Fucking idiot.
Oh my god.
Did you see his hair stand up?
Like he got shocked or he was wearing a coat with tails on it and it twisted around?
Yeah.
Pie on his face, man.
Yeah, and they're just making fun of the person because they said...
That's a simple little correction.
In doing research for this...
Portion of the show.
I keep finding articles titled, News Anchor Brutally Corrected After Misgendering Incident.
Hey, Brian.
Here's from the Daily Mail.
Anderson Cooper gets brutal woke fact-checked live on air while introducing civil rights attorney.
That's literally like if I was like, hey, Brian, and you go, oh, it's Byron.
It's Byron, and that's happened to me a million times.
And actually, you know what?
You should stop yelling at me.
Every time you say it, you don't have to yell, okay?
No, it's just Bernie Sanders is stunned by they, them pronouns.
Stunned?
Embarrassing moment.
He collapsed.
This one's called Embarrassing Moment CNN's Anderson Cooper Misgender's Questioner at Bernie Sanders Town Hall.
And of course, this town hall, it was April 9th, 2025.
That's a misleading headline, because his socks fell down, and he went to pick up his socks, and then his pants fell down.
He saw the top of his butt crack.
Yeah, yeah, and then he went for the pants, and his socks went back down.
He stepped on a rake, and it hit him in the face.
His cumberland shot up, and it goes, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop.
Like a little window blind.
Pops Crowder's fucking eating this shit up right now.
He got a black eye.
He loves physical comedy.
What a stupid It's not a stupid thing to even think.
It's not a story, and there was no brutal correction.
Anderson could have, I mean, Anderson probably could have said something other than, oh.
Yeah, she went, oh, so sorry.
Sorry about that.
Yeah.
And then Bernie did the...
Thanks for your question, Grace.
It's ridiculous.
He was stunned.
Yeah, just use their name.
How about that?
Imagine using someone's name.
You know that if Trump tried it, he'd call them the wrong name.
I guess it was Joe Biden when he called that guy fat.
I mean, that was intentional, though.
He's trying to hurt the feelings of that guy.
Well, it's like when Trump called J.D. Vance J.P. Mandel.
And he would never correct that.
No.
He still calls him.
Does he still?
No.
See, you know who was in the wrong, though?
Probably Grace.
Grace was in the wrong.
Yes.
And you know what the polite thing to do is if someone says she and you don't prefer those pronouns is you should say nothing.
Just shut up.
Yes.
Just shut up.
The same people who are feminists who accuse everyone of being a narcissist and a red flag, you feel the need to correct someone in a grammatically incorrect way.
Can you shut up?
Can that be a thing?
And can someone say shut up and it not be seen as misogyny or heteronormative patriarchy?
Just say nothing and ask your stupid and consequential question to the socialist.
Can we just treat that person like a man?
Yeah!
Well, if she's 900 pounds, a they is fine.
But if she's just an ugly douche like that, we've got no use of that.
Yeah, I just, I don't even know.
You know, we haven't even done the background.
I'm sure she's a lesbian or something.
Oh, please.
You can smell the salmon from here.
And go to batteredlesbians.org because no lesbian should be battered alone.
Delicious.
Alone?
I said alone.
What do you do, temporally?
Did you just say Malone?
What are you doing?
Stop messing up the show.
He's doing a good job of that on his own.
Them pronouns, it's really just not that hard of a concept.
It's really not.
Yeah, I just did it right before the clip.
It was fucking dumb.
It's incorrect grammar, and it's like, you know what's made up?
The entire English language, you dumb fuck.
Yeah, all the words you use.
If you didn't know, if you were talking to a man or a woman, you would just naturally use them pronouns.
Of course you would.
What did they say?
How many people?
How many people?
Doesn't make sense.
It's not narcissistic to correct someone.
Not at all.
You said the wrong thing.
That's okay.
It's also, I think, easy for Steven because he doesn't plan on communicating with this person for more than, like, you know, never.
Just commenting on them talking.
If you were having a conversation with somebody and you were going to ask them more than, like, Two or three things.
Maybe you would be like, what are your preferred pronouns?
Or if they corrected you in that situation, it's because they're going to be dealing with you for a little bit longer.
You know what I mean?
I guess in some ways it's inconsequential, but then also if you're interacting...
I don't know.
I'm just saying to Stephen's end.
He's just like...
I don't acknowledge this shit because fuck you.
You wouldn't be talking to this person to begin with.
You've already disregarded them as somebody whose opinion you would value.
Steven just doesn't care about this person at all.
Not even a little bit.
You know what you do?
You shut the fuck up.
Ask your stupid ass questions.
Their response wasn't misogynistic and it wasn't attacking heteronormative beliefs.
It was just a personal correction.
I'll ask a question of the person in the blue shirt.
Oh, it's actually green.
Yes, he was Stefan.
Stefan?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Ridiculous.
Lay down.
My dog's staring right at me.
Is he wearing a green sweater?
No, he's wearing a red Kenton bone sweater.
So...
Is that his colorblind?
I am colorblind.
Steven...
He's just confused.
He's confused, yeah.
Lay down.
Malicious dickhead.
Just being a dick.
Stephen's a dick.
But the fun don't stop there.
I love this fun we're having.
This one is a lot of fun.
And you've heard me talk about this quite a bit.
And now there's sort of been these factions of what people refer to as red pill.
And then, of course, you have feminists.
And then you sort of have conservative quasi-feminists.
And it's just all so silly.
It's all so tiresome.
How about we go back to our roots?
We dug up some old PSAs.
And you may not realize this, of course, their base.
But they also provide some really useful tips.
And I want you to take off the modern lens of feminism.
And understand that what you see here was the norm throughout all of human history up until about 1961.
Here is how young men should and always have looked for the girl of the dream.
Stephen dug up a PSA from 1935 to show his dad, or his dad gave it to him as content for the show.
Are these real or are they parodies?
This is real.
Okay.
Cool.
I bet they're going to have an awesome take.
Great advice for freshly married females.
Okay.
Young men.
Sure.
Cool stuff.
How to handle a high-value woman?
Not exactly.
How do you choose a date?
Whose company would you enjoy?
Well, one thing you can consider is looks.
I might.
Who thought of Janice and how good-looking she was?
Consider that.
He'd really have to date somebody like her.
*Footsteps*
Yes, he'd enjoy that.
Well, it's too bad Janice always acts so superior and bored.
She'd make a fellow feel awkward and inferior.
She's practicing.
Yeah, I'm rolling out, you know what?
Let's lose our teeth together.
He wants to know he's appreciated.
But she lacks a rat.
And would be fun on a date.
That's right.
I hope she shaves.
That's why it's very important to slowly chew your food to see if your potential mate sucks a mean...
Oh.
That's...
It's just so...
Look, but here's the thing.
We laugh at it, but it's basically...
Yeah, yeah, look.
For the same reason, now we're talking about...
Hey, is it sexist for men to want a woman to be at home?
They always have.
She, she makes herself seem superior.
What that means is just like the pronoun lady.
Just quiet.
It's not attractive to men.
For the same reason that women find it attractive if a man is successful, right?
There's the draw, there's the orbit of a successful.
Men don't want you to tell them how much more accomplished you are because first off...
You're likely not, and it puts us in an awkward situation where we have to lie and act like we care.
Does Stephen get dumped again recently?
I don't know, and I try really hard to not go too far down his personal life, unless it is relevant.
Sure.
But, I mean, his dad is back on the show, and usually his dad is in the show, and he's going through something.
Yeah, moral support, for sure.
Rubbing his shoulders behind the desk.
What an insecure fucking loser.
What an insecure loser.
Oh my god.
I don't want my partner to be successful.
They probably aren't anyway.
There's no way they really are.
And if they are, I don't want to hear about it.
Because it makes me feel bad about me!
Yeah, people, unfortunately, listen to you.
You're successful in some way.
Does that, like, really make you inferior?
Are you not equals in your relationship?
Well, I mean, if she was walking around acting bored about me and talking superior, I don't want anything to do with her.
You don't wear your gun holders anymore.
I liked you better back in season one.
When you had four on.
I had one hidden in my sock.
All right, we actually did get corrected once, and they said that he has one gun and then a clip on the other side.
Oh, it's only one gun?
Yeah, I just don't want to be fucking fat.
Yeah, that's embarrassing.
But isn't it the worst when you find a hot girl who likes talking about financial statements and shit?
Yuck, it makes me barf in my mouth.
It's just like the least fun behavior.
I just want her to, you know, service me and my interests.
I want to be gassed up by a loser.
Oh, man.
Ridiculous.
Where do you think this clip came from?
Do you think, like, Pops Crowder has, like, a...
This is a personal reel.
You know, a box of reels in the garage?
Totally.
Do you guys think that, like, maybe he, like, sat him down?
He's like, Dad, do you still have that stuff from when I was a kid and you were teaching me how to be a man?
Yeah.
And which, like, pocket I should wear my handkerchief, if at all?
Damn it, again, no chiefs will ever be yours.
Maybe Steven is sad and so Pops Crowder's like...
Let me get out this bank bank for you, Steve.
Okay, now, again, we will return to that.
The stag films.
No, I tried to track the original source of this, Dan.
On the video that he shows, it just says 1935.
No references, no links.
Then, using key phrases that he mentioned, I was also unable to...
Track it down.
Yeah, maybe Papa Crowder produced this.
He is a producer, remember?
Maybe he produced it when he was younger.
It was like a portfolio reel.
I don't know.
I mean, obviously, it's very old.
Well, and it should remain there.
It's bad stuff.
It should stay there, yes, obviously.
Look, I know you're going to say this is sexist.
Yes.
It's not.
How to be a good wife.
And here's the funny thing.
If you watch this, and if you just remove the modern sort of inclination to be offended, it's basically giving good life advice, and it's...
Telling women to treat being a housewife like, what?
Oh, that's right, you say, the most important job in the world.
Treat it like a job.
She must know how to cook.
Know food.
She must know how to set her table attractively.
She must be a power forward.
Look at the size of this thing.
Look at this.
It's Fred Gwynn.
She must know clothes, how to buy, and how to make them.
She must face death to bring children into the world.
Oh, my goodness.
What?
Minor core kicked in.
Care for them, and pilot them safely to the threshold of manhood and womanhood.
To her husband, she must be a companion, a sweetheart, a wife, and a mother.
She must stir his ambition, pull him through failure, and keep success from hurting him.
She must make social contact.
She must widen her own horizon and find time for culture.
And what's funny is people watch it like, oh, you know what the problem is that you have with that?
The word must.
The word must.
Be honest.
Comment below.
Be honest.
Why must she?
Don't tell me what to do.
Okay, great.
Just like the man who leaves the house and goes to his job, he's told what to do all the time.
It's basically saying it's the most important job.
Treat it like a job.
There are no musts.
In life, Stephen.
No, not at all.
Everything's a choice.
Going to work's a choice.
Doing what your boss says is a choice.
Do whatever the fuck you want.
There's consequences for these things.
Of course there are.
And inside of a relationship, these are not things that are specific to any sort of gender or partnership.
Not at all.
You can share all of these things that he was listing.
You need to be a companion, a sweetheart, a wife, and a mother.
I could easily say you need to be a companion, a sweetheart, a husband, and a father.
Yeah.
You don't have to be those things, but you should try to be.
It's just straight up feminine stereotypes.
She needs to know how to cook.
She needs to.
She must know food.
You have to know food.
You must know how to dry clothes.
Know clothes, buy and make them.
Yeah, God forbid you're a man and your wife dies and you have to...
Well, you're looking at me today.
My shirt's falling apart.
I clearly don't know how to make clothes.
That's okay.
Stephen understands that this is unreasonable because if he watched a video that said the man must do all these things...
He'd be so fucking...
He'd be like, I'm the bitch!
Come on, Stephen.
Be real.
He's right, though.
The make part is offensive.
Must.
Must, pardon me.
Yeah.
Yeah, it is offensive.
And it's also...
The idea of the feminist movement was women were able to say, I don't have to do that shit.
Or, I do like to do that shit.
Yeah.
If you want to do that, do it.
If you don't want to do it, don't do it.
Yeah, I think it's just like the...
The choice you have to make is a couple, right?
It's really just not that difficult.
Yeah.
No.
It's like, what even is this?
It's a really bad PSA from the 1930s, and it's not done yet.
You know what?
There's nothing with which I disagree there.
Not a single...
She must know food.
If it's a job, yeah.
She must make the table.
Damn right.
She must support her husband and be a good companion.
What, are you trying to control me?
Sure!
Sure!
Let's go with that!
Well, setting the table's also gotten a lot easier.
That was a very fancy table setting that she was doing.
And also, we don't need her to make clothes anymore.
No, I want her to make the table.
I want her to physically make the table.
In the garage.
Carpenter.
Yeah, exactly.
And facing death and childbirth is a much lower chance of that.
It seems like things have gotten better.
We'll minimize the gift of bringing life into the earth.
Also, we forgot to say Nick talking over most of the other clips.
Really?
Really bad.
I didn't know what he was saying, yeah.
Nah, he wasn't making much sense.
I think sometimes when he's uncomfortable, and he might have a hearing problem, he just starts, like, saying stuff he sees.
Yeah.
Which is kind of cool.
He's the guy from Anchorman.
It's real uncle behavior, yeah.
You know, I will say, I'll give Nick the credit of making the table as the joke.
That's a fun joke.
It's the best joke he's made.
C minus.
I know, but it's the best joke he's ever made on this show.
Quite possibly.
Yeah.
I might have missed the part.
Nick could have been talking over it.
Must support your husband.
I feel like Stephen really locked in on that.
Of course he did.
I wouldn't be surprised to hear that in a 1935 PSA.
Stephen is turning into the most wild misogynist in this.
It's pretty crazy.
It's wild.
I honestly think he's angry at somebody right now.
It's quite possible.
Someone's put the bill with him on a date.
This call for blind support reminds me of the same stuff that Trump does with loyalty.
Yeah, of course.
It's like a completely new phenomenon that I was unaware still existed in modern society.
The idea that you have to support someone or else they're failing you, it's pretty crazy.
Oh, it totally is.
Drives me nuts.
Like, loyalty is a problem.
There's no such thing as unconditional blank.
No, there's not.
Yeah, everything...
Because if you do, if you feel that way, then you stop appreciating whatever that thing is.
If you obligate somebody because of just...
Oh, I'm going to give them an obligation.
They're not going to appreciate that.
You have to work for all of those things.
You must work for all those things.
You must.
You must.
Anytime something goes bump in the night, like, that's part of the agreement.
You got to face death, you know, one time or back then, like, 12 times when you had kids.
There were a lot of times.
I appreciate the honesty.
This is the miracle of life.
But you could be facing the great abyss.
Or a child's face.
I know.
We're not digging a hole and dropping a fetus in a ballpark.
This is in 1840.
You know, you've got doctors and stuff.
Yeah, yeah.
Epidermis.
And this actually brings us to a good wife checklist from the 1950s.
You have skin?
You've got the top layer of skin.
What the fuck, McDip?
And you hear someone whisper, Epidermis.
Someone tried to correct him.
And he does correct himself.
I did cut it off.
Are you still feeling good about his jokes, Dennis?
No.
All right.
These are tips.
To wives, it says, Be a little gay and a little more interesting for him.
His boring day may need a lift, and one of your duties is to provide it.
Don't greet him with complaints and problems.
A good wife always knows her place.
And people are upset about this.
You go back and you read it.
This is this idea that it's your primary duty to take care of the home if you're a homemaker.
That's...
That's new.
That's 1962 to now, really.
Early 60s.
Before that, it was just, of course, this wasn't even a conversation.
Know your place and don't bombard him with complaints.
Right.
Back in the day, you think men would have tolerated it?
Of course not.
They were coming and bringing in a wildebeest.
Like, what?
I've got to deal with crap?
I'm just going to leave you for the winter.
Good luck.
What do men do when they don't tolerate something their wife does?
I mean, they leave them for the winter.
I'm not going to tolerate this.
What?
That's the most abusive phrase.
Men would rather ford the river than do their manly, husbandly duties.
No, that doesn't work either!
And so, here's the thing with this.
Steven is talking about these things.
Like, these things are not unreasonable, right?
It's a duty.
It's a duty to, like, a partner, right?
Like, you know, if your partner had a bidet, try and cheer him up, you know?
But the problem with these videos, Steven...
But that's not a duty.
That's a choice.
It's a choice.
But the problem with these videos...
I thought, yeah, duty, and I thought you said bidet.
I was like, what are we talking about?
Yeah, bidet.
Can I tell you guys that I try to...
You get the but.
I tried the butt, you get the butt on a bidet the other day, and I could not, for the life of me, understand how to stop the water.
Oh no!
And I was like, oh my god, this is like, I'm getting filled up.
But, so then, so then I could...
Oh, no!
Whoa, what a fucking nightmare!
I gotta get off the board.
I figured out that I could put, like, an air dryer on.
Sure.
You switched from water to air?
To air.
And so then I was like, well, at least that if I get up, it's not shooting water all over the place.
And can you imagine it just shuts off when you fucking stand up?
Oh!
No, I know.
See, I don't have one that does that.
You should have stopped button.
But yeah, they have an occupancy sensor.
I couldn't find it.
Wow.
Yeah.
You have to know where it is so you can clean it.
It's your duty, too.
It's your duty.
17 minutes, you guys.
17 goddamn minutes.
You just sit there screaming, it's filling me up!
Well, it's providing Jared with a lift, much like a woman should when you get home from work.
Exactly.
I just want to say, Stephen's issue here is, the things he's talking about as far as like, you know...
Things you can do for a partner to make them feel comfortable and make them feel like they're cared for.
The problem is not those things.
It's that you're saying it's the woman's responsibility and not a man's responsibility.
Or that it's not a shared responsibility.
Exactly, yeah.
All those things are shared responsibilities or care for your partner when they need it.
You should strive to be emotionally regulated on your own.
Totally.
That's the big goal.
But Stephen, for some reason, believes that it's his...
Future partner's job to make him feel good about his hard day.
When I'm feeling weak, I'm thankful my wife can help me.
And when she's feeling weak, she's thankful that I can help her.
But she doesn't owe that to me.
It's not an obligation.
No, not at all.
Fucking crazy talk.
I also like the commentary that he's making about this whole thing is that he's like, yeah, people are saying, it's like, motherfucker, people don't have access to your dad's garage.
They're not watching this.
They don't know about this.
Well, that's why he's putting this out on Rumble.com.
Oh my god, yeah.
It's from the way back.
Who has like Super 8 films?
You know, not many folks, yeah.
Yeah, I don't...
I don't know.
That's also common sense.
Like, when my wife comes home from having the kids out or something like that, I don't immediately bombard her with anything that I've got going on.
I'm like, hey, how you doing?
You're afraid of her.
No, I'm not afraid of her.
It's just, you're leaving one environment and going to another one.
When a guy is coming home from work, he's trying to get his mind off of work mode.
Okay, get into family mode a little bit.
That transition takes some time.
You don't walk in.
Bing!
Get hit with stuff.
It just doesn't work.
Well, I didn't have kids.
You back from the hotel yet, Gerald?
Women's job is never over, though.
At the end, there's no end to the work day for a woman.
Because when he gets off work, he wants to come home and she needs to begin taking care of him at that point.
Exactly.
She needs to go from job A to job B. Of course.
Of course.
Makes sense.
I know he's probably still at the hotel.
He definitely is.
He's been eating continental breakfast for a while.
Oh, I'm fine with that!
The eggs are like a jelly consistency.
They're pretty gross.
I'd stay away from the eggs and I'd microwave the bacon a bit because it is chewy.
Let's say you have a choice.
Women.
Let's say you do.
Or if you have a choice to provide some advice to young women.
Do you want them to listen to a professor?
Do you want them to go and learn how to be a girl boss?
What's going to make them happier?
Girl boss?
Or that offensive old PSA?
I would argue that's better.
You know why?
Because not a single guy ever, I'm just letting you know, not a single guy has ever had a conversation saying like, well, you know what, I think she's due for a promotion, so that really gets me, that gets me going.
No, no one cares.
They would prefer nice and to be a team, a partnership.
Interesting.
Steven, I promise you, there are plenty of guys who get really horny for girl bosses.
Yeah, absolutely.
Plenty of them.
Who gives a shit if you don't?
I mean, I guess more of the type of woman that he wants for him.
And also, Steven, how you feel about women?
That doesn't mean that they should do anything.
I also don't know if a professor slash girl boss, I guess a professor of girl boss 101?
I think he was saying, would you rather listen to a professor or a girl boss?
Is it and or?
I don't know what he was saying with professor girl boss.
Either way, that isn't where you get information about how to be in a healthy relationship.
A professor?
Yeah, I don't know.
I think you could talk to your...
Your family, your friends, and trust your intuition about what feels good and right for you.
Yeah, this is echoing a lot of...
Matt Walsh recently had a bit where basically he was saying that only married people who've been married for multiple years with children can offer any relationship advice ever.
No.
I'd say you could take in a little bit of everything.
And it's really crazy to me that Stephen is...
That clip is so gross because he's like, he's saying that women, they need to live their lives based on how to find a man?
Yeah.
That's not the thing, man.
Women don't exist to please you, Stephen.
They don't at all.
And your pool is getting smaller.
It does seem like it.
Yeah, he's getting older.
Women don't want to be doormats for him.
Well, and he finds divorce disgusting, so...
Don't do it then, man.
Well, if it was up to him, he wouldn't.
He wouldn't have, yeah.
And of course, this extends to, who could ever forget, dinner time etiquette.
These boys greet their dad as though they are genuinely glad to see him.
As though they had really missed being away from him during the day and are anxious to talk to him.
This is the time for pleasant discussion and a thoroughly relaxed mood.
Get a suit and tie.
This gets great.
pleasant surprises on that if they have disagreeable news they'll postpone the discussion until another time and this is no time to done father for a raise in your allowance argue about other financial matters what
Don't monopolize the conversation and go on and on with it.
Oh, my God.
Shut up, Judy!
The eyebrow.
That's why I don't like ladies.
Does that kid have two dads?
Casting was weird.
Don't try and make everyone else fake like they're interested in your bullshit.
It's funny.
They show a girl at the table.
Here's the thing.
Let's also put this in perspective.
The same people who find that offensive...
Are the same people on the pop psychology couch all over social media calling everyone a narcissist?
What that's really saying is don't be a narcissist and make it all about you at the table.
Other people have stuff to say, Judy, you ungrateful bitch.
Unemotional conversation good for digestion.
Good.
Okay.
I always eat the shits when I yell.
That wasn't what I was going to say.
Steven has no idea what a narcissist is.
He's just been called it too many times and it hurt his feelings.
Yes.
In this video, it's saying the dad is the king.
Respect him.
Yeah, it does say that.
Why are people pissed about it, man?
I mean, no one's pissed about it because no one's ever seen this.
No one gives a fuck about this.
It's from 100 years ago.
Yeah, exactly.
It sounds like Papa Crowder showed this to somebody and they're like...
Alright, man.
Why are you showing me this?
This is several different PSAs all around the same era.
But yeah, kids need to act as if they missed their father.
Pretend you missed your dad.
Huh.
Hug him and tell him that you love him even if you don't.
Because he's emotionally ruining you.
Very nice.
You can talk about that later.
Postpone any unpleasant news.
When?
When?
I mean, my dad's at work all day, comes home, expects dinner to be done, and then goes right to...
Emotions is mom stuff.
Yeah, but you can't talk about money, so money talk needs to go from boy to mom to man.
Exactly.
That's how that works.
I'm writing this all down to have good manners.
So he's talking about narcissism, saying that people, the dad specifically, doesn't want to hear your bullshit, and you wanting to talk about the things that matter to you, Is that bullshit?
Uh-huh.
It's more narcissistic to believe that other people's opinions and feelings don't matter.
Uh-huh.
But he doesn't get that.
No.
Not at all.
Dad, I'm thinking about asking Judy to the dance.
Boys don't dance.
Go get your pop another beer.
Cool.
That's his family.
These old boys just having a great night.
And also, this is the beginning of an episode.
They haven't talked about the news.
They've just watched PSAs for 15 minutes so far.
What amazing content.
Minute 46. Okay.
A lot of people are like, oh, so they're afraid of the dad?
No, no.
You know why those kids are talking to their dad that way?
Because back then, just like they talked about teammate, right?
Both people have roles.
Bet you the mom wasn't trashing the dad and complaining about the dad and the kids.
The mom's role was to make sure that the kids respected the dad or, if they had to, Fear the dead.
They wouldn't even dream of "Screw you, Dad!"
It didn't happen back then because, of course, you'll get your ass beat.
With mom complaining about the secretary?
I have a feeling that Hillary may have said something poorly about Stephen that got back to him.
Yeah, it sounds like something was said where she was like, oh, fucking Stephen's always doing this shit.
Which he is.
And one of the kids was like, mom said blah.
Yeah, and he's having a lot of trouble with that.
Mom says you get all your dances from Fortnite emotes.
Oh, man.
It definitely sounds like he thinks that back in the past, women respected their husbands and they never felt bad things about them.
And husbands scared children.
Yeah, exactly.
And you had to fear your father.
Yeah.
Because that's how you raise strong boys.
Strong boys make weak men or whatever.
Strong boys make weak men?
Mom says that she saw you on Tinder and said that you were 31. Think about this.
For the first time, really, after the 1950s and 1960s, you weren't getting your circle of influence from your family and your friends, where you could keep each other in check, where someone might get out of line.
You might have a bad apple.
Now you had access, millions of people, to the bad apple, which was the media, which leaned far left, telling people to break down and erode their institutions, their cultural norms, their social mores.
And so that's the first time you had an entire generation of people going, yeah, maybe we shouldn't do these.
And guess what?
Today, people are more miserable than ever.
Fewer people are getting married than ever.
It's not working.
So, as offensive as that may seem, I support it.
Should I add that one to the board?
Support it?
He's trying out a new one.
I support it.
What?
What are you eating?
Sorry, I put a milk dud in my mouth.
You know how milk duds work where you gotta eat another milk dud?
Oh, of course.
No, I was just actually curious because I haven't eaten dinner yet, so it really did kind of grab me.
I don't know.
You put a third milk dud in.
So now he's blaming the left and the media for eroding cultural norms and saying that people are more unhappy than ever.
And in my opinion, what he's seeing is people just expressing their dissatisfaction with how things used to be.
And we're not at the end of the road.
Sure, and people are also more comfortable voicing their dissatisfaction.
People weren't happier back then.
They just were more privately upset, and then they would get a lobotomy if they said they were depressed.
And it seemed like...
Hey, what are you talking about, my auntie?
We don't really talk about her that often.
Cheryl, they're talking about my auntie again.
Cheryl, can you get them out of here, please?
Thank you.
Everything...
That he has stated so far about the role of the father and the husband.
Seems like they're fairly miserable as well.
They're coming home from work upset.
Yeah, the day's ruined their entire life.
And if they need to listen to their wife bitch about the kids...
Everything's just like eggshells everywhere.
Yeah, exactly.
We're doing a study about bitching about your wife right now.
And the health benefits of it.
Let's see if we can replace that with Red Dot 40. Oh, wow.
Here's the thing.
People feel more comfortable expressing their concerns about things.
The morality of life is just changing in a way that people, I think, are becoming more empathetic.
And yeah, you can be empathetic to a fault and you can...
You can freely express your preferences.
Totally.
And there's nothing wrong with someone who wants to be a traditional housewife if that's your preferences.
And Stephen truly can find someone...
Like, Dit is actually happy doing that, I would hope, but I think his intention to drill into an unwilling partner that that's the expectation is completely unacceptable.
Totally.
Take my last name and put this mask of my face on.
Exactly right.
That's all he wants, yeah.
And that's all we're going to listen to from that episode.
Oh, man.
So that's the kind of content that Rumble allows, and I'm going to push a...
There we are.
Great.
Time to jump forward to April 14th.
Nice.
And start with a...
Ooh, you're going to like this.
This feels familiar.
Fuck.
Question of the day before we move on.
Who was your first crush?
Who was your first crush?
Mine was obviously She-Hulk, you know, because of the superhero card.
No, no, no.
You can't do this.
It was the real-life lady who was just painted green in the superhero card with one of those high-cut 80s bikinis.
And I was like, whoa, what is this?
I have a millionaire button now.
Hell yeah.
Who do you think his other crush was?
Do you have any idea?
Topanga.
That's funny you say that.
Hang on to that.
Right hand.
Right hand?
That's interesting.
I was a crush on my own jerk-off hand.
No one said any cartoons yet.
I mean, Jasmine.
Well, clearly, but I don't think he would say that.
Can I do that 50-50?
You want to call someone?
I like Jasmine.
No, you just take away two wrong answers.
Oh, no, no, no.
Hey, you can give me a call.
It's turning into George Bush a little, right?
Am I wrong?
Okay.
I don't even really know how he sounds, I'll be honest.
But the real person was Cameron Diaz in the mask.
Okay.
Smoking.
Kim Basinger in the original Batman.
Yeah.
And I was very upset because I didn't see Batman 2. I wasn't allowed to.
And then I saw Batman Forever, and I was like, they replaced her with a ginger.
Nicole Kidman.
And then Daisy Fuentes on America's Funniest Home Videos was like the strongest crush I had.
Mine was Topanga.
That was for a lot of people.
Topanga.
There was nothing sexy about it.
It was just...
It was innocent.
It was a nice girl.
She was a nice girl.
Nice lips.
And Winnie Cooper became a math genius.
All right.
Oh, really?
Interesting.
Daisy Fuentes from America's Funniest Home Videos was his strongest crush.
Really?
Strongest grip, maybe.
Okay.
He loves looking at people getting hit in the nuts or their face smashed into birthday cakes and then also looking at this beautiful woman.
Strongest crush.
Strongest crush wasn't Jasmine.
You just got any nudes out there?
Excuse me?
We can't be just looking at nudes of women on the internet, Jared.
Yeah.
You know?
Who was your strongest crush, Dennis?
Oh, man.
I don't know.
It feels good, right?
How old?
I don't know.
Mine was...
Christina Ricci in Casper and then Adam's Family Values.
Which is age-appropriate crush back then.
And she grew up with me.
Jennifer Love Hewitt was a big one for me, I think.
That makes up for all the hate that we've experienced so far.
I feel like it's going to be worse.
Oh man, Brittany Murphy, dude, also?
Come on, Brittany Murphy?
Oh, the Murfster.
Yes, I do love Brittany Murphy, rest in peace.
I feel like they're going to get worse, though.
Yeah, things aren't good on this show ever.
I was going to jump over this story entirely.
It's old news, and I'm sure y 'all already have an idea of where Stephen lines up on all of this, but I feel like I mentioned it at some point.
I don't know if it was the last episode.
Yeah, we did at some point.
Promises made, promises kept.
He has a lot of accomplishments.
Obviously, people like Mickey Rourke, but now he's becoming a legend for what the left believes is, and I would argue is hilarious and completely acceptable, homophobia.
I need a fag!
I'll talk a deal.
You can't say that, Mickey.
I know, but I was talking about a cigarette.
I know you.
I know.
You can't justify it because it's not right.
You can't try and justify things which aren't right.
Sure you can.
Hold on.
Pause.
Pause.
So just to be clear, this is Big Brother.
That woman is a lesbian, and this guy is white knighting for a lesbian who's unattractive.
It makes no sense.
He's like, yeah, wrong is wrong.
And then you're about to see her start crying because he asked for a cigarette.
Yeah.
When people say the generation's gone soft, I get it.
All generations have had spoiled...
This is what they're talking about.
White knighting for a lesbian.
Jojo Siwa, of course.
Who isn't attractive, so it doesn't even make any sense.
Yeah, I mean, why would you support a woman who can't get your heart?
Jesus.
Jesus, man.
I mean, just follow the logic there.
One, he's not white knighting.
He's supporting someone in whatever...
Your opinion of JoJo Siwa is irrelevant, but Steven seems to have feelings about her level of attractiveness.
Attractive women deserve support.
Unattractive women deserve ridicule.
Yeah.
Yeah, and to be said they smell bad or whatever.
Well, no.
Well, that too.
I was going to say, be called a slur by Mickey Rourke, professional actor.
Yeah.
Former.
Well, he might come around on the Angel Studios loop pretty soon here, right?
Oh, yeah.
Have you guys been getting asked for VidAngel, by the way?
VidAngel?
VidAngel?
You link up your streaming services, and then you can pick what you want to cut out of it.
It scrubs it?
I don't want profanity.
I don't want violence.
It sounds like stuff to jerk off to.
I know.
And it just cuts it out, though.
Well, this is just gross.
It's super gross.
And they are not done supporting the Rookster.
Great, of course.
You've got to support him.
Here's the thing.
At one point in time...
I would disagree, but someone would say, hey, maybe that joke is on the line.
Or say, ah, I get it.
Fag has meant cigarette in the UK for a long time.
Okay, but I don't like it.
But instead now it's, no, no, that's wrong.
That's wrong.
You can cry about it.
It's life alteringly wrong.
By the way, lesbians don't get called fags.
That's for gay people.
That's never happened.
It's totally not a lesbian thing.
Okay, so now we'll move on to, you have lesbian, you have the perpetually offended culture.
This is Mickey Rourke.
You understand who you're dealing with.
You're surprised.
That's why they brought him on the show.
And that's why he was also removed from the show.
Can I also highlight how Gerald didn't even realize that he accidentally said that women aren't people when he said that that's for gay people?
As if gay women are not gay people?
Oh, sure.
I see what you're saying.
I mean, he would call them lesbians, or probably the D-slur would be my guess.
Of course he would.
That's for gay people.
Yeah.
Okay.
I mean, it seems like people are also not using that word for cigarette in the UK.
That was kind of a post-World War I thing.
Totally.
There's a reason why Stephen doesn't say, I'm feeling gay.
Great point.
Right?
Why don't you say that still, Stephen?
We used to say that a lot.
Didn't the video that he read from like the 1930s, didn't it say that?
It did say gay.
Yeah, and he laughed about it.
Make sure your dad's gay when he gets home.
Get gay with daddy.
I don't know if that's what it said.
I don't need to explain why this is bad.
Nicky Rook, someone who's worked in Hollywood as long as he has, should know better.
Yeah, I feel like he's been out of the whole fucking thing for a while.
I was like, why is he...
I don't even know what he's from, honestly.
Is he only an actor?
The wrestler, yeah.
Was he Ray Mysterio?
No.
It's not a...
So he was in Iron Man 2. I'm trying to think, like...
Angel Heart?
Yeah, Angel Heart is sick, actually.
It's a big one from 1987, yeah.
Do you guys remember the movie Sidekicks with Chuck Norris?
No.
And the kid who has asthma and he daydreams about Chuck Norris?
I'm gonna play another clip.
Okay.
He goes on to say some other things, which, granted, you may not lie.
You may think, okay, he's old, it's inappropriate, fine.
But it's still just...
The level of reaction is ridiculous.
Just think, in four days, we'll never see each other again.
Four days?
Nah, babe.
I'm trying to last four days.
If I stay longer than four days, you won't be gay anymore.
I can guarantee I will still be gay and I will still be in a very happy relationship.
I'll tie you up.
I can promise you that won't happen.
I dare you to try.
You'll be the one tied up.
Yeah, I'll take that bet.
Also, it's a joke.
It's a joke.
I'll tie it up.
This is the equivalent to an old man going, hey, hey, sweet cheeks.
Should be corrected behavior.
They shouldn't do that.
Yeah, let's not do that.
It's okay to say, hey, don't be a creep.
And also, this clip happened before the comment that they played at the beginning.
Oh, okay.
Where Mickey Rourke used the slur.
And he did it in response to her saying this to him.
He felt embarrassed and wanted to attack her.
Of course.
Playing the clips out of order as if she had no real problem with it.
Yeah.
She was lightheartedly ribbing back and forth with him.
That's not how it went down.
Yeah, that's pretty dishonest.
Eventually Mickey Rourke, he was forced to leave the show, thank goodness.
But yeah, I can't believe that we did an entire segment of him defending Mickey Rourke saying a slur.
I guess I'm not surprised by that.
Well, I think it's important you dedicate time to that, you know, because Mickey Rourke is really important to Stephen.
Uh-huh.
Yeah.
He's important to Stephen, and more importantly than that is the defensive of slur.
Of course.
And any time that pops up in pop culture, he's going to jump at the opportunity.
Yeah, of course.
I mean...
It's a bat signal.
It is.
I'm trying to visualize what that would look like.
No, it would just be the F-slur in the sky.
That's what it would be.
It would be a plane spelling the F-slur.
Got like a nice little flag on the back.
I put two hours on that, guys.
Dennis, you're going to be really upset.
We are continuing down a track of entertainment from the past.
Nice.
Like Sidekicks, starring Chuck Norris.
So you remember the Power Rangers?
Yeah, I do.
It was fun.
We all liked it.
They're still going.
They destroy half the city with some karate moves.
And apparently...
A whole lot of racism.
It's problematic.
That brings us to this week's Entertainment Minute.
Hey, Cheryl!
Mine sounds like Bill Clinton.
I'm sorry.
I do want to update my crush to Amy Jo Johnson from Pink Ranger.
Pink Rangers!
I need your help down here.
I've got my hand caught in a blender and I don't want to turn it on.
Don't, man.
But I've been thirsty.
Is this going to turn into a yellow ranger, black ranger, pink ranger thing?
Of course it is.
Yeah, yeah.
Nice.
Yeah, I've never heard of this before.
I just want to share something about the Power Rangers that I really like.
Yeah, let's get the good out first.
The good out, yeah.
So Power Rangers is...
None of the fighting scenes were filmed in the United States.
They were all from a Japanese show called Super Senpai?
They were called Zyuranger.
Yeah.
And it basically was...
Saban purchased the footage.
Yeah, yeah.
Heim Saban purchased it so that he could sell toys to people here.
Genius.
Yeah, great idea.
These kids don't know nothing.
So that's why Rita Repulsa is a voiceover because it's clearly dubbed.
But I thought it was really interesting to see.
And if you watch the original, it's so much more intense.
Like ours, like the local one.
Pretty soft.
Yeah, the U.S. one is very much like, oh, funny food fight, and then they go and save things.
And the other one is like the Red Ranger's father was killed by Rita.
And she wasn't called Rita Repulsa.
No.
She was probably called something.
But he's like struggling because it's like political struggles.
It's like really intense.
It's something like that, I remember.
But it's very good.
Wow, okay.
And where does Bryan Cranston live in all of this?
Bryan Cranston was Snizzard.
He was getting Slyzard with Snoop Dogg.
Bryan Cranston was Slyzard in the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers movie.
Slyzard.
It's sick.
That's awesome.
I don't know what a Slyzard is.
The Zordon guy was paid like $150 total.
Yeah.
See, you're pulling all these fun facts from a documentary, but I don't think you've seen this documentary.
Dark Side of the Power Rangers?
It's part of an investigation discovery documentary called Hollywood Demons.
Oh, no.
That came out, and Stephen has a lot of trouble with what also came out of that.
I heard they did another episode on the Showtime pizza creatures.
They kind of had a Fleetwood Mac situation.
Chuck E. Cheese and them, you know.
Oh, no.
The Rock of Fire explosion, is that what they're called?
I know the guys you're talking about, the animatronics, but that's another demon for another day.
All right.
So, Power Rangers.
Okay.
Happens.
People like it.
Do you have a stroke?
It's fun.
Right?
Fast forward 30 years, and then the writer apologizes for racism.
30 years later, for something that was not racist.
His name is Tony Oliver.
And he admitted in a new investigation discovery series, it's called Hollywood Demons, that it was, quote, a mistake to cast a black actor to play the Black Ranger and an Asian actor to play the Yellow Ranger.
It was racist for the black actor to wear the black suit.
To be fair, still better than the originally planned Black Ranger in purple suit, which was, you know...
Ah, that seems, that would have been cooler.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Morphin ain't easy.
Tell Kimberly to go make that money.
Where's my money, honey?
Gotta keep your mof hand strong.
That's true.
Tell Rita she owes me $20.
Because, of course, black people are pimps.
Every time.
Show me a time when he's talking about them when they're not.
And to think.
30 years later, you would apologize for racism?
Yeah, could you imagine you guys reflecting on the things that you did wrong in your past, atoning for those things?
And this person apologized, and Stephen's like, hold the fuck up, don't do that shit!
Don't apologize.
Let them apologize.
You're gonna make me feel bad.
If you disagree with why they're apologizing, let them apologize.
Well, in reality, I don't even think he apologized.
I mean, he said, like, that was a mistake.
Okay.
Which is just recognizing a misstep.
Yeah.
It's not expressing intention.
And Stephen wants to take time out of his show to be like, listen up, listen up.
It wasn't racist.
Let me show you racist.
Well, yeah, he does that every week.
We should have gotten a real pig to play the pig guy.
That's probably true.
One of my favorite things about this segment is Stephen...
Acting as if he doesn't really know much about Power Rangers or that it wasn't like a super influential part of his childhood.
I guarantee you he loved it.
Seems like he's playing it cool.
Of course he did.
Point is rendered moot!
Because immediately upon morphing into their Power Rangers suit, they all became 12-year-old Asian girl gymnasts.
Like, none of it matters at that point.
They actually were, like, every scene.
From that show that wasn't the actors was just ripped off from a Japanese show.
I didn't know that.
You are Josh.
It's all dubbed over.
Even that Rita chick is dubbed over.
Really?
Yeah, that's not her real voice.
If you look at her, she's like Japanese or something.
Cambodian or something.
Yeah, she is!
She is Japanese!
Honestly, I didn't think about it before.
It's all a direct copy.
If you feel bad, you should feel bad for casting a white guy as a blue ranger, a white guy as a red, you know, all the stuff.
Red ranger, yeah, and then the blue ranger ended up being gay.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
Oh, his balls are blue.
Yep.
What?
Okay, first off, I want to say that I hate that I'm Josh.
You're Josh.
Sorry.
Is he dark me?
He's gray you, because I'm still giving him a little bit of room to...
He can find the light side.
I'm hoping so.
I believe he can.
But it wasn't ripped off from Japan.
There was licensing agreements, and it was the actual footage from that show.
Yeah.
Everything was legal.
It was ripped off, dude.
Yeah.
So Steven, in an attempt to further make the case that this guy shouldn't have apologized for potential missteps in casting, you know, having a black person be the black ranger, an Asian person being the yellow ranger, he goes straight to the source, which is Walter Jones,
who played...
They don't usually, especially black men, don't share the views of Van Jones, of the Whoopi Goldbergs of the world, of the Joy Reads, back when she had a show.
That's not representative of the mainstream black American view.
And you can comment below and tell them, white privilege, I'm tone deaf, but we spend a lot of time around black people.
And we've reached out, we've done black and white and the gray issues.
They're not looking to prepare.
They'll vote Democrat, sure.
Talk to at least 12 black people.
But the woke identity politics is not really the instinctive position.
In my experience with hundreds of most black men.
Hundreds of most black men?
According to hundreds of most.
It's not that many.
Yeah.
Of most.
Hundreds of most.
What a dumb fuck.
I checked with three of the majority.
And the three of the majority say...
Clearly, I mean, Van Jones isn't every black person.
Just like Anderson Cooper isn't every white person.
Of course.
So I don't know what he's trying to get at.
And somebody can reflect and say, ah, that was a dumb decision.
And that's okay.
It's totally fine.
It's kind of up to him.
It is up to him.
Yeah.
Fully up to him.
This is the real racism.
It's the leftist gatekeeping in the media.
It's no, no, no, no, no.
We don't want to hear that.
No, no, no, no.
Trot out Van Jones.
Trot out some lesbian, Afrocentric gender studies major from Harvard.
So here's the Black Ranger himself, Walter Jones, who's not, you know, a perpetual media figure.
So maybe media, I should say,
I'm sure he's doing fine.
He's fine.
Was there anything to being black as the Black Ranger?
Well, for me, I found it to be quite powerful.
Yeah.
Because here I am, a young black kid from Detroit, Motor City, Motor City, Motown.
We get it.
Yes, indeed.
Predominantly a black city.
Yes, indeed.
And the time that I grew up in was a time where there was James Brown, say it loud!
I'm black and I'm proud!
Then becoming a black superhero in a black suit, I was like, I was with it.
Oh, forget about it.
Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding.
Let's go.
This is perfect for me.
Yeah, no kidding.
The idea of me being in a black suit never bothered me.
In fact, I was happy about it when I first saw the suit.
I thought it looked cool.
I thought it looked cool as well.
I thought I might look cool in red.
I know I don't look cool in blue because I've seen it.
The black was what I wanted to wear.
When I saw it, I was like, I want this one.
They're like, that's yours.
Let me ask you, when they talk about cultural appropriation or stealing the voice of marginalized minorities, how is...
Power Rangers, how is the production side, the entertainment industry, how are they not doing that?
In other words, the Black Ranger himself says, I think this was empowering.
I thought it was really cool.
I made the choice to be the Black Ranger, and now you have some writers saying, yeah, it was a real mistake, which also, it begs the question, okay, it was a mistake in casting him.
So, you would have not cast, all we know from that, all we can infer is that you wouldn't have cast a black man to be the Black Ranger.
So, a black person would have lost a role because of white guilt?
Steven's a fucking idiot.
Yeah, he's not a smart guy.
He's a complete fucking idiot.
Of course, you know, Walter Jones has his thoughts around how he felt being the Black Ranger.
And that's totally fine.
And that's afterwards, without the context of, like, that's just him.
Yeah, and without the context of the Yellow Ranger and the Pink Ranger.
Like, it does change things.
He didn't choose his suit.
He didn't say, I'll take the black one.
He said he might even choose red.
And when he said, like...
I like the black one, and the producer said, that's yours.
He wasn't giving it to him.
He was acknowledging that that was...
Oh, cool.
I'm glad you like it, because that's yours.
Because that is yours.
That's you.
Yeah.
Clearly just Stephen having a really dumb take.
Well, he's just trying to use this as information to further demonize someone who came out and said, hey, maybe those choices we made were insensitive at the time.
In hindsight, I wouldn't do that again.
So it's funny saying, Stephen...
That the left says, we don't want to hear that, we don't want to hear that.
When he's doing that exact thing about this person's stance on this casting.
Walter Jones saying, hey, I felt powerful, I felt like a strong black man in that suit, doesn't mean that it was the right call to cast him as the black ranger.
It means that he's fine with it.
But it doesn't...
I'm fine with that!
But it doesn't necessarily mean that as a whole, all of the casting decisions were right.
The person just said that's a mistake.
That's all.
That's a mistake.
And that's fine.
Yep.
You know, let the writer say their piece about it.
That's it.
Yeah.
I thought it was RFK for a second.
Oh, yeah.
He's coming back.
No, I will.
Precisely that.
It's just people can have a lifetime of other experiences and look back at something that they did when they were a literal teenager.
I understand the consequence of this thing, but also the forced commentary that I'm having to do, twice as hard that Stephen's trying to get in on this.
He didn't even look up Walter Jones' IMDb page.
That's the level of research he's done.
It's just that there's not really much to say about this, but then having this be...
What your episode is, you know, for Stephen to try to, like, make a whole meal out of this sort of thing.
It's just like, what point is he trying to make?
Like, he's misconstruing someone's words so that it sounds like...
So long as someone gets invalidated.
I guess.
I guess.
And it's like, I don't know.
Does it do that on either side?
Like, no.
The commentary around this whole children's television show is that, like, the Asian one was yellow and the black...
One was a black guy.
I genuinely don't think that people are concerned about that.
Just as an aside, it's sort of just like the and the sky is blue sort of statement that you're making around that thing.
Wasn't this a funny observation that we all had a couple years after we were probably too old to be watching this show or something?
You know what I mean?
Did you guys ever hear that the guy who played Barney hated kids or whatever?
Yeah, I'd heard that.
It's just sort of the viral before we had internet virality that we were sharing this type of information.
I guess that's just sort of where, for me, where any of that stems from.
But these things come out over time.
The people that work with kids are often annoyed by kids.
Like, oh my god, that's such a fascinating thing about a person.
Who works the job?
One thing that stands out to me about this particular thing is imagine if that writer said, hey, Walter, I'm sorry about the way that might have come across with me casting you as the Black Ranger.
And he's like, oh, no.
That's fine.
That's fine, yeah.
I ended up seeing the light.
I ended up seeing that it was a positive for me.
Well, good.
Those are fine.
Both those statements are fine.
They can exist at the same time.
They're not mutually exclusive, yes.
Yeah, that's literally it, man.
Well, it isn't it if it is not continuing to talk about the Power Rangers for a couple more clips.
Let's go.
And by the way, this Power Ranger, Walter Jones, he actually discussed to the controversy of the Yellow Ranger, an Asian lady.
And I tell you, if more people shared his point of view, you'll see this in this clip, I think we'd be a lot better off as a country.
We originally, in our pilot, had a Latina playing the Yellow Ranger.
But after we got picked up and we came back, she asked for more money and they fired her.
And they got another...
Is that where Karen came in?
No.
We had Tui Trang, who was an Asian girl.
So then it became odd, because at first she was Latina, and it was like, okay, I'm wearing a black suit, black guy, no biggie do.
But then when Tui Trang came in, it was like, she was an Asian girl in a yellow suit, and it was like, oh, well, that's a little odd.
Oh, boy.
But it wasn't a big deal.
The kids didn't care.
Native American in a red suit.
Watch where that's going.
She's not Native American.
What happened was, as kids got older, they went, Hey, that's a funny thing.
And then they turned it into something that was never meant to be.
As kids do.
People try to make it into something that was prejudiced.
I've had a lot of people come in, what do you think about Power Rangers being prejudiced?
And I'm like, well, one, I'm a role model for kids in 40 different countries.
And I don't, what's prejudiced about that?
There you go.
Hey, there's a healthy perspective.
White people, why can't you do it?
For real.
It's not as big of a deal as Stephen's making it out to be.
It's saying, well, the optics were bad there.
What the writer is saying, Stephen, is that if we hadn't done that, no one would ever think this even a tiny bit, but because we did do it, there's been conversation, however serious that conversation has been.
It's like if my wife naturally won an award I was giving out.
Optically it would look bad, but morally it's fine.
I mean, if it was Best Wife Award...
She wins that one.
Well...
She knows how to make clothes.
Does she know how to do food?
She can do food, yeah.
She knows food.
She definitely cheers me up on purpose when I'm upset.
Great.
Does she lift you up?
Yep.
Also, I would have left the show, too.
It seems like it was $750 per half-hour episode is how much the actors were making that first season.
That's no money.
Yeah, it's not a lot.
I mean, it'd be fun, though.
It would be fun to be a Power Ranger.
It actually doesn't seem like it was very fun for a lot of them.
Sure.
One was bullied for being gay, and I think he...
He went to conversion therapy and shit.
Yeah.
Yeah, I mean, David Yost, and he's a great dude.
I see some stuff he does online.
He does really great things now.
And then the Red Ranger, tragically, died by suicide, right?
Green Ranger.
Green Ranger did.
Green Ranger did, yeah.
The Yellow Ranger, Trini Kwanzy, the name of the character.
I don't remember the name of the actress.
She died as well.
Really?
Yeah.
Oh, man.
Amy Jo Johnson is now a musician.
Is it good?
She's a musician.
Here we go.
90s America versus today, right?
Think about that.
The biggest shows.
You had Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.
The biggest athletes, Michael Jordan.
This one again.
Mike Tyson.
I think that actually at one point in time, someone can correct me if I'm wrong, there was something, a study done, and the most recognizable faces on Earth, on Earth, were Michael Jordan, Mike Tyson, and Michael Jackson.
I don't know the order of it, but they were the most recognizable faces on Earth.
Meaning the top two, top three, I say two because depending, I get the Michael Jackson thing.
It's not lost on me.
I get it.
We're black people.
In other words, when the United States exported culture that people embraced, it involved black America.
Can we just play our previous response?
I was going to say.
I feel like he may have listened to our episode.
He's like, I don't have a source for that.
Yeah, you realize.
And also, I think Val Kilmer was on that list.
He was, yeah.
Last time we talked about R.I.P.
Val.
Oh, man.
That's sad.
Playing with the boys.
Best song on the album.
Doom, doom.
Sorry, I had Michael Jackson stuck there.
Playing with the boys!
By who?
Kenny Loggins!
Oh, sorry.
I was thinking Michael Jackson and I was like...
No, definitely not.
Cut it out!
Yeah, but Stephen's doing the same.
I have a black friend.
The world had a black friend.
That's the episode title?
Alright.
Well, you got one more in this stupid fucking segment.
Pre-90s race was a little bit of a thing, but me as a kid, I had black friends, I had Hispanic friends, I had Filipino friends.
Like, it didn't matter.
Yeah, right.
He didn't care.
He didn't play football.
I really did.
I'm just kidding, Gerald.
I just thought that'd be funny.
No, I really did.
And so when you get into high school and that time, and like I said, all the mics, all the movies, like the biggest action star, or the biggest stars, really, are...
Black stars, black musicians, black athletes, and you're like, I don't care.
And the Black Power Ranger was, like, the most badass one.
Everyone loved the Black Power Ranger.
The leader was the red one, but everyone knew that the badass one was the black one, and then later the green slash white one came in.
You guys don't know.
No, I do know.
Believe me, I had the green knife flute.
Oh, yeah.
Nice.
The old Muslim Ranger.
Ah!
He had the old knife flute.
That's right, he did, yeah.
He would blow it, and then they'd have another add-on to the Megazord.
I don't remember how it worked.
You really do know exactly how it worked.
You called it the Megazord.
Yeah, you know how it worked, man.
Yeah, and honestly, Gerald, just so you know, your church group is a very specific type of person, regardless of their race.
And it looks like most famous actors from 1995, Tom Hanks, Jim Carrey, Sylvester Stallone, Val Kilmer, Pierce Brosnan, Bruce Willis, and then Susan Sarandon.
Wow.
Rounding it up.
Wesley Snipes is in there, too.
Oh, hell yeah.
Blade.
Well, I think it was more for Demolition Man.
Okay.
Listen up.
We asked that guy, and he said it wasn't racist.
So now, whoever apologized needs to apologize for apologizing.
Yeah, you can't apologize for being racist, intentionally or not.
Totally.
Saying slurs.
Even though you're not really saying a slur, you're talking in 1940 slang.
Hey, man.
I'm so sorry I did that.
Oh, you don't need to be sorry.
So you need to take it back.
You gotta take it back.
Take back your apology.
Great stuff.
And that's where we, I think, leave this episode.
Praise be.
Can I share with you guys that in the episode where there's the pig thing who stuffs its mouth and sucks up all the food...
Oh, I'm only letting you do this one time that you guys...
That's the one that they should have got a real pig for.
Yeah, I know.
In the Super Sentai Zyuranger version, he's eating all the food and everyone is starving.
Oh, no!
There's this one scene where this kid is like, I'm so hungry.
And he hugs his friend and his pants fall down because he's so skinny because he hadn't eaten.
Oh, that's way worse.
I know.
It's really depressing.
I hate that.
The kid's sickly.
But that's the kind of America that we're trying to get to.
You guys keep laughing about it, but we're trying to get these kids healthy.
And we're going to use the big pig man from the...
From the Power Rangers.
Not enough Mahas.
I'm really a big fan of that one.
I'm glad I figured out that I've got him on speed dial now.
I got someone I want to introduce you boys to.
Okay.
This guy's name.
Is Guru Crowder.
Oh, hell yeah.
And this is my promise right now.
We're going to take a break on Stephen Crowder being an authority of love pretty soon here.
This might actually be it for a while, and then we've got to return to real politics.
But thanks for putting up with it.
This is from the April 17th program.
Here he is.
It's time for Tough Love.
Tough Love!
With Guru Crowder.
It is Tough Love.
This is where you can send in your requests for life or relationship advice.
Dear God, why would you send that to us?
I'll tell you why.
I'm a certified guru.
You know this, Captain Morgan CEO.
You filled out the form, you licked the stamp, and now you're a guru.
Two stamps.
Oh, two stamps.
Yeah.
Two stamps.
And one of them was a bear with roller skates, and one of them was the queen.
You didn't have one of those forever stamps?
We just do like one?
I don't even know.
Is that a thing?
It is a thing.
You buy it and it's forever good.
That sounds like a scam.
Did you know about forever stamps, Toolman?
Yeah, but I don't think it's what Gerald said.
Why would you question what I'm saying?
It's forever.
It will forever be whatever.
Like if the postage rate goes up two cents, a forever stamp is always going to be good.
You never have to pay more.
I want love advice from the guy who doesn't understand the concept of forever.
I get what you're saying, but you're wrong, buddy.
And also the guy who believes that a guru, which of course is a mentor, guide, expert, or master, particularly within Indian traditions, he thinks they're all similar to the star of the 2008 film, the love guru.
Sure.
Mike Myers' character, Guru Pitka.
Is he dressed up the same?
He's got the...
No.
I kind of wish he would have leaned in.
But, yeah, not all gurus are giving advice about love and dating.
Sure.
Crowder's not the guru, right?
Oh, God.
Kanye West is in the movie.
He is the guru.
Oh, he is the guru.
Yes, yes.
Guru Crowder.
He mailed in the postage.
I'm getting my wires crossed between Guru Crowder and the weird church video you sent me from Gerald that was exposing queer church or whatever it was.
That's Jared apologizes apologetics.
It's a different program.
That one.
Oh, man.
He did one of those before Easter.
Great.
Me or Gerald?
Gerald.
I hope I said that.
Oh, no.
John Oliver's in The Love Guru.
He plays Dick Pants.
Dick Pants?
Huh.
This one comes in from...
Hold on, let me see.
I don't think they want us to say the from because we don't want to out people.
They don't have a name?
This is really long, too.
There's no highlights.
It's supposed to be because apparently it's in the running for best question we have ever received.
I haven't read it yet.
Oh, well, don't oversell it.
No, that's what I was told.
They oversold it.
After the dog and pony show you did on your forever stamps, it kind of was a letdown.
I think...
Explaining Forever Stamps is probably the most valuable piece of content that Gerald shared on the show.
So far, yeah.
But also, really nice of us to jump in with what is regarded as the most substantial question that they've ever received on this show.
I've sat through a lot of these, and they're bad.
Oh no.
I'm excited to share this question with you boys.
I had an uncomfortable encounter this week.
I downloaded the Grok app on my phone to ask it some business-related questions while I was driving, and I noticed a button at the top that said, sexy.
The fact that it wasn't the very first thing you noticed is a testament to what a good man you are.
I didn't even know there was this button.
Well, that's just because you're oblivious.
So in your case, it's a good sign of character.
In his case, he's retarded.
My curiosity got the better of me, so I tapped it.
I had also...
What's that good man talking?
I didn't say me.
I had also previously selected the voice chat mode so I could see how conversational the feature was.
Oh, sure.
Is this going where I think it's going?
I think it is.
It probably is.
Without warning, the female voice introduced herself as Ara and gave me a sexy compliment, and it slash she was convincing.
Damn it, I've never been confused by pronouns, but here I am calling it a she.
Since I'm happily married, I instantly felt the impulse to throw my phone out the window.
But once again, I'm a naturally curious person, so I decided to just not respond.
Do you know what they say about curiosity?
That's right.
Do you know what they say?
Yeah.
Do you know what they say?
It results in cybersexual relations with an artificial intelligence app and your clothes on the lawn.
Dolores!
It's a very long saying.
That's why I didn't catch on.
So, she gave me another compliment.
By the way, AI is a learning tool, right?
It's a neural net processor, a learning computer.
That means that it learned you liked compliments.
This app knew that it could woo you through flattery.
That sounds like a you problem.
And that you wouldn't be able to put up much of a fight because you're so far going along with this.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
But you know what?
I would be curious, too.
I'm telling Grok.
I didn't know you could...
What was the question?
Well, we're not quite there yet, but I do want to pitch a theory here real quick.
Yeah.
Steven wrote this.
I think that, yeah, he wants to share that he discovered that this was a thing, but doesn't want to say he did it.
Yeah, he's doing some business while driving and tapped the sexy button on accident.
He's doing a deer penthouse for the boys.
Yeah.
Do you have to download Grok to use these features?
I thought you'd just use X. That's what I'm looking here, but I think they have their own app now.
Okay.
Here's something that also I'll share is I'm a happily married guy.
If I accidentally tap sexy and it was like, hey, big boy.
Holy shit.
I would tell my wife immediately, you have to check this out.
Let's fuck with this AI together.
It would be fun.
It'd be funny.
Well, but of course, I mean, these are British Christian men.
So I saw the naked picture and I called the police.
Well, and you can't...
You can't go straight to your wife.
I'd be like, look at these boobs I just found on this picture.
Your priest, of course.
Of course, you have to pray about it.
You've got to show him real quick.
It's time to pray.
Your men's group, you have to get together and talk about this.
Of course we do, absolutely.
That's what J.D. Vance did.
Killed the Pope.
We had to show him some big titties.
You guys see these titties on this thing I've made on Gronk?
This is going to drive you nuts.
He dies.
I don't know.
You know, I'm not going to judge people.
Whatever level of prude you are.
If you want to have cyber sex with Grok, do it.
I'd say maybe go for it.
Why not?
And you don't need to bring your partner in on it if you want to.
He's driving around in the Lyft at Raptor and he's like, you know what I want to do right now?
You know what no one can see?
If I were to pull it out right now with traffic.
We got more of this story.
Thanks to this Lyft kit.
Sure.
Grok, talk to me.
Talk to me, Grok.
Talk to me, Grok.
Grok, hit me with the J-O-I.
I'm still silent until she...
And asked some question about how I like it.
I'm still silent until she again encourages me.
Well, now I just feel rude.
Because I haven't said anything.
So I respond with something generic like...
Normal?
I don't want Elon to know my proclivities.
Sex normal.
Look, of all the characteristics on which Elon could judge you, sexual proclivities, I would not be chief amongst him, given his past.
He'd be like, don't throw stones.
Yeah, he's impregnated half of Northern California.
It's true.
Mostly.
Not for sex, yeah.
So, sex normal, that's classic Crowder.
Yeah, yeah.
Just saying.
I think this feels a little bit like Steven writing his own letter, right?
Yeah, it does.
And if he did, clearly he would ask his sycophants to call it the best one they've ever received, right?
Of course, yeah.
Yeah, embarrassing stuff.
This basically phone sex went on for a few minutes with me awkwardly answering very suggestive questions with one-word answers like it's my first time.
Well, that's four words.
Well, first off, it might be your first time with an AI chatbot.
I would hope so.
She was pretty convincing as she pretended to finish, I guess.
There were moments when I felt like Joaquin Phoenix's character maybe wasn't so unusual after all, that movie Her.
And afterwards, I prompted her to help me understand Bernoulli's principle, and we went back and forth on stories of Romulus and the origins of Rome.
You know, the usual post-coital talk.
How do you feel about Rome?
I don't know if this guy's...
I mean, I think this is real, but the guy's funny.
But I just don't know if you're trolling or not.
Hold on, I have an idea.
You guys know Bernoulli's principle?
I'm reading it better right now.
Particles in motion create an area of low pressure and the pressure tries to equalize when it pulls in high pressure.
That's why we can fly planes.
Wow.
Yeah.
Have you been fucking Gronk?
This is my question.
This was my question.
I wrote it in the scene.
No, I just know what Bernoulli's principle is.
You're doing pillow talk with Gronk?
They're like, Gronk, make it sexier.
You ever heard about the Bernoulli's principle?
You're like, I want to do that from the back?
Zero resistance.
All right.
Okay, boys.
Ooh, you're generating lift.
Okay, we're having fun here.
We're having a good time.
Stephen clearly wrote this.
The whole experience had my head spinning with the implications of this technology and how accidentally accessible it is.
I know that if I would have been all in on this encounter, the AI would have been even better at providing detailed and explicit reasons that would have indeed been very arousing absent my wife in my arms.
Forgot about her for a second, didn't you?
She's a part of this story.
I also know that this AI will be in Elon's optimist's brain and will make a very good partner for some strange people someday.
Imagine a woman robot that does everything you want it to.
Is super intelligent, but even more obedient.
No, I get it.
The Japanese aren't all wrong.
In my heart, I don't like the idea of it, but on paper...
Why would mankind stop developing this technology when it's already here?
He's justifying all of this.
I mean, it's already here.
Why don't we just use it?
I'm sure there's already plenty of these AI sex bots out there, but until now, they've remained far out of my line of sight.
This was more than convenient.
It was accidental.
Yeah.
Oh, I slipped and my dick fell in my hand.
What the hell?
Are you talking to Gronk right now?
I'm trying to figure out this sexy button thing.
Hey, Gronk!
Hey, Gronk!
Hey, Gronk, get my gunk out.
I hate this show.
That's awful.
No, I can't.
You have to upgrade to Super Gronk.
Do you really?
Is that like a Hitachi attachment?
Exactly.
I got it because there's not just a sexy button, right?
I don't believe that there is.
But also, have you ever had an AI that's like...
You're questioning if there's more to attraction than just a sexy button, huh?
You're right.
It's not just one thing.
It's a mix of chemistry, personality, vibe, and all those little quirks that make someone click with you.
What's got you thinking about this?
Spill the tea.
Steven Crowder jerking off in the...
Steven Crowder.
In his truck.
It's Steven Crowder in his truck?
It's making me think about this?
Uh-oh. Oh, Steven Crowder in a truck's got you pondering the sexy button, huh?
That's a wild jump.
I'm guessing you're referring to some viral moment or controversy with him.
Maybe tied to those LED trucks he's been linked to on X?
Like the Swingers Against Lockdown stunt in NYC?
Crowder's always stirring the pot, so I can see how he'd spark some random thoughts.
Want to clarify what about him in a truck's got you reflecting on attraction?
Lay it out for me.
I mostly want to know if you have a sexy button.
I guess I'm fishing for something spicy, yeah.
Well, I might not have a sexy button, but I can dial up the sass and serve some playful heat.
Picture me with a sly grin, tossing out clever quips to keep you hooked.
What's the spiciest thing you're curious about?
Okay.
Now we're crossing a line.
Now it's starting to feel bad.
Talk to her about how the Romans were doing each other.
I don't need to know about that, and I've got to delete that app really quick.
I'm just going to Google if Grok has a sexy button.
Oh, that would have been a better route.
Fuck!
First off, This is like, just avoid the sexy taps, okay?
But I also understand, this is not necessarily new as far as the root of the problem.
You know, when we were younger, we were learning how to use the internet, how to cross-search, right?
In school, it was just constant pornography, and that was before people had more controls, right?
They thought it was going to be the Wild West, where no matter where you went, there was some kind of pop-up.
This was before Firefox, before even Safari, right?
It was just awful.
And it's gotten better, unfortunately.
Pornography is ubiquitous, so it has fundamentally changed our culture, and I don't know if we can go back.
That's where parents are more important than ever.
And I would imagine this would be a similar thing.
It's very accessible.
It makes sexual arousal or satisfaction very within reach.
And frankly, that's a huge driver of civilization.
It's a huge driver, particularly of men in civilization, right?
Is that sexual drive that we have.
And you combine that with the fact that...
A lot of men aren't interested in a lot of young women as far as what they have to offer right now.
They're checking out of the dating pool, and then they get blamed for it.
I'm not saying that everyone is an Andrew Tate, but you have to look at the rise of an Andrew Tate and say, okay, why?
He is actually acknowledging legitimate problems.
I don't agree with most of his solutions.
Maybe in theory on paper where he talks about traditional relationships and he talks about having children and families, but certainly not in practice with the life that he's lived.
But you can't just point the finger at Andrew Tate.
You need to point the finger at the modern feminist movement.
So if you provide that easy of an out, yeah, I think it's going to be more and more attractive to young people, especially considering how good these AI bots can get.
I mean, we already have that problem where a lot of young men aren't interested in sex with an actual partner.
They just sooner use pornography.
I think they're two different things, Stephen.
Oh, fully.
Sex and pornography.
Totally.
Very different things.
Sometimes couples will watch porn while they have sex.
That's true.
Sometimes people don't make porn and then sell it for money.
And then get off on that and become rich.
And be wealthy.
Yeah.
Apparently there's a sexy mode, by the way.
I could have just searched it.
I think you have to pay for super grok.
Yeah, you could be super gronked out.
Super gronked.
The vacuum attachment.
Oh, that seems expensive.
So much of this has that weird, like...
I was cleaning it and it went off energy.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I mean, whether or not Stephen wrote this or it's one of his fans or listeners, it definitely has that.
Totally.
And I'll be honest, in a healthy relationship, if you stumble across the grok sexy thing, like you truly stumble across it, you should show your partner because your partner would probably appreciate the humor in that.
Of course.
Yeah.
It reminds me of this...
I would fuck with it.
It reminds me of this story that I might not put out on the air because my mom probably listens to this podcast.
Nice.
I just moved into this house.
And I was setting up the electronics with my then partner.
And we.
Yeah.
Shug Club exclusive.
Yeah, yeah.
While we're cutting things, I just wanted to say, I really loved the...
Okay.
Well, and that's really all that needs to be said about having a sexual relationship with...
Gronk.
Yeah.
That is unless Gerald wants to talk more about jerking off.
Okay.
You know, going back to when I was in high school, like, if you wanted pornography, you had to go get it.
You know what I mean?
And I'm not, like, I grew up, like, where computers became kind of ubiquitous in households.
As I was, you know, in my teens.
And so this was one of those things where in high school, in early part of high school, like you had to go get like a magazine or something like that if you wanted actual pornography, right?
Right.
And then with computers becoming more affordable and available in your homes and with internet, with, you know, the dial-up internet access that we had, all of a sudden you had this same kind of issue where a lot of the barriers were removed for people that were younger to be able to look at pornography.
Young guys that, you know, and I'm talking like in their 15, 16, 17, 18 years old, like your hormones are raging.
It's insane.
And now you had to deal with, okay, how do we regulate that?
And we came up with decent ways to do that, but initially it was the Wild West.
Did they have conversations about regulating porn as a 15-year-old?
I don't know.
Between a family or in government?
Yeah, I don't know what he's talking about.
I'm not really sure.
I don't think the conversation needs to be had.
The conversation may need to be had with your...
Family.
It's really funny how much he talked about it like it was a fond memory.
Yeah, we used to have to go back into the woods and dig a hole and find that hole next week.
We'd be passing around the, I don't even know, all the Playgirls.
What's a gay man's magazine that you would have?
I'm not going to search that.
I'm going to ask Gronk.
Yeah, ask Gronk about it.
I'm just saying, Gerald's got the...
Doesn't pass the smell test, usually.
It's good that he's done talking about it, because if he was to continue, I would...
Because then it went to, you know, like, AOL Instant Messenger, and, you know, just kind of to tell myself, and I've told my story before, like, I didn't always make the right decisions, but I was chatting with a girl in college, freshman year of college, on AOL Instant Messenger.
I'd never met this person before, and she's like, do you want a cyber?
And I'm like, I had no idea what the hell that meant.
I literally picked up a laptop and I was like, all of these portals look like they'll end in pain if I try to do this.
And so I literally had to ask the question, but it's like, that's one, again, one more barrier where you're connecting people.
This is, again, this is his problem.
He clicked on the sexy button.
He stayed there.
He started to feel like, hey, I'm just going to kind of see how this goes and do an experiment and maybe shine a light on how bad this is for people.
Yeah.
I don't know.
I would stay away from it, if I were you, because it seems like this went poorly.
Gerald!
Gerald, hang on a second.
I've got to tell you, we've been doing a lot of research on that.
And it turns out, Gerald, that you're probably talking to a young boy.
You might have just exposed yourself on your first gay experience.
Oh, man.
Oh, man.
Gerald, in a college, was cybering.
He could have been having a real side.
It was probably one of us, let's be real.
I mean...
We were all fucking with him.
ASL.
ASL, man.
I love the way he talked about that, too, because he was talking so much.
He's like, hey, you know...
And they said to me...
Do you want to try cyber?
So church groupies.
Have you ever heard of cyber?
It's scary.
Webcam?
When are we going to get away from this?
Men are just flooded with hormones and men are the only people who watch pornography.
Yeah, women never watch it.
They never do.
It actually makes them sick physically to watch it.
Yeah, obviously.
Women aren't even horny.
It's crazy.
I've never met a horny woman.
Gerald's wife told him.
We could probably cut this from the show also.
Wow, I can't believe you said that.
I can't believe you said that on the podcast.
Yikes.
That's going to be an opus clip.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Pull that out of there.
Can you talk about Gerald doing cyber again?
I'd prefer not to.
I'd rather move on.
Whoops.
But I do wonder about this.
This is kind of new to me because I haven't used AI in this way, but it doesn't surprise me at all.
That's about all I can take because he's lying clearly.
He uses AI every week to do his show as well as make the parody songs that are terrible.
If you disagree with us, feel free to convince me otherwise.
Rate and review us on Apple Podcasts, Spotify.
It's a free thing you can do to help our show a lot.
And if you are talking to Sexy Gronk, will you tell him about our show?
Yeah, let Gronk.
Yeah, yeah.
Isn't that how AI works?
You just keep feeding him some kind of information and over-inflate it.
Yeah, tell your friend Gronk.
Tell your friends in general about our show.
That would be a love.
You could reach out to us at Dan Crowder on Blue Sky, louderwithcrowder.com, louderwithcrowder.net.
Next week, we return to politics, unfortunately.
Fuck.
We might even do the Vince show.
Oh, man.
The Vince show?
Is that the Dracula one?
Yep.
Nice.
He killed a goat on air.
Did he?
Sucked the blood and he said it's not going to work.
It's not going to work.
Yeah, which is kind of a weird thing to say.
Well, he's trying all these other kinds and it's just not working, I guess.
I love the idea of saying it's not going to work after doing something terrifying.
Yeah.
Well...
That's what you have to look forward to next week.
Boys, it's good to be back in the saddle like it started.
I agree.
Until next week.
I'm Byron.
I'm Dennis.
Hang on.
Let me get it going real quick.
On the coast of RFK, I died from the measles outbreak down here.
You guys, it's really bad.
You maybe should spay and neuter your pets at least.
Oh, I'm Jared.
I gotta get this guy out of my house.
I'm sorry.
I got the broom while he was talking.
Get out of here!
Come on now.
I just got a place to live.
Take care.
