All right, people, it is Tuesday, May 14th, 2024.
dave rubin
And this is a first ever People of the Internet Rubin Report crossover.
And that's right, for reasons that I can't fully get into, although some of you on Locals know where I am,
I am out of the country today doing a very special something, so we have pre-recorded this episode of People of the Internet, airing it here on the Rubin Report channel as well as on the Tenet channel, and I am joined by my special guest co-host Erin Wexler.
Hello, Erin.
arynne wexler
Hey, Dave.
Thanks for having me two days in a row.
It's a real treat.
dave rubin
Look at you, flipping your hair, not having voted for any of this, being on a special People of the Internet Rubin Report crossover.
unidentified
Life has just really, just really coalesced for you.
arynne wexler
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, life's been very good to me, except for the fact that I live in Joe Biden's America.
But we're all suffering together.
So aside from that, yes, I get to live my life with a clear conscience.
So that's a nice feeling.
dave rubin
We are in it together, whether we like it or not, although you and I do live in the free state of Florida, which is why we have a certain glow, and we haven't been stabbed today, so that's pretty good.
arynne wexler
It's always good to not get shoved into the subway when going to work.
Yes, it is a blessing.
dave rubin
In any event, people, I will be back live for the normal show at 11 a.m.
tomorrow, Wednesday, but today we are doing a People of the Internet on the Rubin Report channel.
As always, nor Erin or I know any of the clips that are about to come.
I'm told this is a very heavy Phoenix show today, which means that there's gonna be some weird stuff.
Connor, let's begin.
unidentified
The Boy Scouts of America is changing its name for the first time in its 114 year history.
This morning, the organization announced that it will now be known as Scouting America.
The move is part of the Scouts' effort to be more inclusive, moving past decades of turmoil over the exclusion of girls and queer youth.
It also comes as the organization emerges from bankruptcy following a flood of sexual abuse claims.
dave rubin
This is incredible to me.
You're telling me that for 114 years the Boy Scouts have been excluding girls and the girls had to have their own scouts and sell their own cookies and society didn't completely collapse?
arynne wexler
You know what we really need to see, Dave?
The same way that men are taking over women's sports and it's getting some people to slowly notice, we need the boys to start outselling girls with Girl Scout cookies.
And I think that's when the rage will really rain down.
So I am hopeful that if we could get them into the cookie game, it could actually change the entire country and reverse this entire tide.
But no, it's so ridiculous.
What would you say is the best Girl Scout cookie?
Nothing's sacred anymore.
Everyone's just gonna merge into some androgynous Zeezer freak and down to the Boy Scouts, apparently.
dave rubin
What would you say is the best Girl Scout cookie?
Because there's only one right answer here and it's obvious.
arynne wexler
Oh my gosh, I don't remember the.
It's like the one with the peanut butter.
I'm so sorry.
dave rubin
I love peanut butter.
arynne wexler
Are you going to say thin mint?
dave rubin
Yeah, it's the thin mint, obviously.
arynne wexler
I knew you were going to say that, but I'm not on the mint with my chocolate train.
I'm on like the salt with my chocolate train, but no, and the peanut butter.
I can't do the mint, but I respect you.
And we will stay friends in spite of our differences.
dave rubin
We will stay friends despite our differences.
And since from everything I've been told here, you are a girl, is that correct?
arynne wexler
Correct, yes.
unidentified
So you're a girl?
arynne wexler
Thank you for not assuming, though, and for asking.
dave rubin
No, no.
Well, they give me rather extensive notes before the show, as you can see here.
But you are a girl.
I am a guy.
Let me ask you something.
As I understand it, there are physical differences between the two of us.
But also, let's say when we were children, we might have played with different things, and that's okay.
So, for example, when I was, say, nine years old, I had a lot of G.I.
Joe and Transformers.
What did you have when you were nine years old?
arynne wexler
Of course.
It was Barbies and princess castles and tutus and I actually kind of missed that time.
It was pretty dope that you could walk around in a tutu and no one could say anything to you.
And like big ball gowns.
I don't want to walk around in a turtleneck ball gown again.
dave rubin
You can't get away with that now?
You can't get away walking around with a tutu.
You can't just wander down Miami Beach in a tutu without getting some side eye.
arynne wexler
If I say I'm a queer, you know, whatever, furry, I can wear whatever I want.
But as a straight woman, I'm not allowed to do anything anymore.
But yeah, no, those were the days.
And, you know, everyone knows the studies show that when you just let kids do what they want, they, you know, the boys gravitate one way, the girls gravitate another way.
But here's the other thing.
Let's say you don't.
Let's say you're a tomboy.
I was in that Avril Lavigne stage growing up, you know, that era.
And, uh, and I just, I actually think about the fact that that kind of goth era, like skater girl vibe that I had, and I liked science and math and I didn't like all the girly things that girls liked.
And today they would tell me that I'm a boy to chop my boobs off.
And so I'm just so thankful that I proceeded this time.
Um, yeah, I just, uh, the, I'm curious to see what happens to cookie sales this year.
That's all I'm going to say.
dave rubin
It's just so incredible, because you're right.
Boys and girls happen to like different things for the most part.
It's okay.
There's going to be some crossover every now and again.
You find a girl who likes boy stuff a little bit more.
She might be a straight girl.
She might grow up to be a lesbian.
Either way, it's okay.
You don't have to chop her genitals off or stick her with a bunch of boys who are trying to, you know, build a campfire.
arynne wexler
Yeah, of course.
Of course, and the left wants it both ways.
They want to say that the genders are no different, right?
So there's no differences, but also they're so different that if you're born in the wrong body, you have to actually switch over.
So, go figure.
dave rubin
The funniest part of this whole thing has been me visioning, if you were, you're right, if you were to go out in a tutu and walk down Miami Beach, people would be like, what the hell is wrong with that girl?
And yet if a guy did it, if an obese middle-aged man was walking around in a tutu, people would be like, well, that's great, he is who he is.
Or she is what he is.
arynne wexler
No, they'd be like, oh, please, here, enter the girl's bathroom in that, please, yeah, go ahead.
dave rubin
Take my cash, please.
arynne wexler
Yeah.
dave rubin
Connor?
unidentified
I'm gonna date is a 26 year old at Disney. Okay. So first place I went to is cafe Daisy
I got this watermelon lemonade. Look at how gorgeous it was.
So good way better than I expected and I got the Daisy dog I'd have to rate this as 7 out of 10. It was nothing
special, but it was good It also came with some chips, which were okay
Oh my gosh The best part was I got the pizza flop over when they say
cheesy It was so cheesy. My cousin gave me a taste of his orange
drink and it was so good later on I got thirsty again. So I got this raspberry lemonade. I
give this a 9 out of 10 Then we headed over to Tiana's palace and I had the house benguet.
arynne wexler
Sadly, I wouldn't give this a 5 out of 10 because it had like no flavor.
unidentified
Okay, now for the best part, I got the house gombo.
It's actually so good.
Rice was to die for.
Shared a few bites of that with Alex and then I also got myself a kid's meal.
I got the ham and cheese sandwich.
arynne wexler
It's actually a lot better than I expected.
I give this an 8 out of 10.
Also came with an apple juice and an orange.
unidentified
Next, I headed to Harbor Galley and I got these cookies.
These are so worth it, you guys.
So worth it.
If you get anything, get these cookies.
arynne wexler
My cousin didn't want his applesauce, so I had another applesauce.
unidentified
I don't know why, but these actually tasted good today.
What?
dave rubin
Applesauce?
arynne wexler
It's still going.
The video's still happening.
unidentified
It was a lot of water.
Oh, something without calories.
dave rubin
Wait, water?
Water?
Is that water?
unidentified
I got some chicken tenders and some fries.
I had ranch and barbecue, which was so amazing.
arynne wexler
Literally, everything was so amazing.
Okay, at the same place, I also had to try the funnel cake.
unidentified
I would give this a 6 out of 10.
I've definitely had better funnel cakes, but it was definitely worth a try.
Lastly, I went to the Tiki Juice bar and I had a strawberry Jolip.
Eight out of 10, so thanks for coming along, y'all.
arynne wexler
Bye.
I thought it would never end.
dave rubin
Before we say anything about this video, this really shows you more into the mind of Phoenix
that he's putting these videos in front of us than about that girl specifically.
First off, let's just put aside, how much money do you think she spent that day?
arynne wexler
That's exactly what I was thinking, Dave.
Disney World is so expensive.
I think one chicken fingers has to be at least like 30 bucks or something crazy there.
How much did she drop?
I need to know.
Who's paying for this?
It has to be Soros.
It's so much money.
dave rubin
And that food, it's all dripped in high fructose corn syrup and fried, and none of it's, yes, could it be delicious at like the most base level, some of it?
We went to, we took my niece and nephew to Universal Studios in Burbank a couple years ago, and they have Simpsonsland there, and I bought a big-ass donut.
You know, they sell that big, giant Homer Simpson-style donut.
I had two bites of that thing, and I was basically in a coma.
They threw me down that Jurassic Park log flume, and I'm pretty sure I was half dead How do these people do it?
How do they do it?
And why is she putting that on the internet?
arynne wexler
No, this is so crazy.
You know, what my mind goes to whenever I see a video like this
is this is the same person and all the people who would snap for her and say,
yeah, it's like, not just that like big is beautiful, which is debatable, but like big is healthy
has been a bit, you know, it's like the fat liberation movement on the left
that they're very into.
And it's a whole thing of like that we're supposed to indulge just the way we're supposed to indulge that men can become women and that you should chop your body parts off, but also that this is healthy and that it's wrong for us to point it out.
All those people that support this woman were saying that if you did not get the COVID vaccine, that you should not be treated in a hospital.
And that is all I can think about when I see someone who has allowed themselves to, not just allowed, if this video showed her being upset about her weight and working hard at trying to get it off, we would both have a totally different reaction.
We would feel sympathy for her.
We'd be supportive.
dave rubin
We'd be cheering her on.
arynne wexler
We'd be cheering her on.
And instead, I look at her and I resent her for the strain on all of our resources that she's going to put on us, on our kids, on our kids.
Everything with her.
She's going to require so much care because she's so morbidly obese.
You know, her entire ilk of people who are celebrating this.
You look at the attitude of this video.
Look at how fun this is.
Look at how fabulous this is.
It's like an Instagram video of all my food and it's so unhealthy for the mind and the body.
And so maybe, you know, I don't believe generally in cancel culture and reversing things that the left put on us.
But I'm getting to that point where I just think, you know what, maybe we shouldn't support you.
And maybe when you go to the ER, you have to prove that you weren't eating all these doughnuts in order to get treated.
Now, I don't actually I don't actually believe that.
dave rubin
But nobody you're making nobody to.
It's a legit point, like the fat jokes aside and everything else, it's a legit point because once you have universal health care, and then everyone's kind of in on it together, you're actually punishing all of the people who take care of them.
You eat right?
You exercise?
You get sun?
Well, now you gotta pay in to take care of that person who also was trying to get you fired, as you said, for not getting vaxxed.
So once they decide to put us all in on a system, well then we're gonna start being resentful of each other.
Should I pay less on a plane because I weigh less while the fat person is now taking up two seats?
Maybe I should.
arynne wexler
Maybe I should.
I think that would be great, actually.
Yeah.
No, but yeah, it's a total celebration of a movement and a celebration for something that's going to kill her, right?
And so I just hope that, you know, I would welcome someone like that with a lot of warmth and support if they chose to reverse their life.
But I think there needs to be more shame.
There needs to be more shame around this kind of behavior, whether you're skinny as a stick eating like that or you're as large as the person in that video.
dave rubin
It's not cool to have a fupa, or a fupa, as I call it.
Somehow this came up last week with Isabel.
I call it a fupa, but it's a fupa.
arynne wexler
You know about the fupa?
dave rubin
The fupa is like the fat sack that they have that's usually hanging right in front of where their genitals should be.
Like, if you have to move one body part to see another body part, you gotta, you gotta Some shit to deal with.
unidentified
I know.
arynne wexler
I do just want to ask if anyone in the comments is able to tell us how much money she spent on that day.
I would be forever grateful if someone was able to calculate that for us.
dave rubin
Add that shit up.
Comment down below.
Connor.
unidentified
Wait, no!
dave rubin
That's the same person?
No.
Wait, that's a joke.
Come on.
Come on, internet.
unidentified
Wait.
dave rubin
That's a joke.
unidentified
That's a joke.
dave rubin
Phoenix is loving this one.
He's loving this one.
You see, because it's a thin, small person who, because the point is, instead of going to Disney or wherever and eating all that stuff, you can turn yourself into anything you want to be.
arynne wexler
You could turn yourself into a handsome, fit black man.
Yeah.
So that's the goal, I guess, from here on out.
dave rubin
We all want to be handsome, fit black men.
arynne wexler
Yes.
I think that's just the clip from that.
No, I yeah, it's it's the same point.
I actually I like that video.
It's just funny.
It's light-hearted get people to the gym I just think our society if I think of more people we're going to the gym We would have everyone would be happier.
Everyone would be sexier.
It would just be a good time Like I just want America to be filled with Chad's, you know, just like Like this is going to be we're looking at college campuses right now and I feel like the first video we watched and the video we just saw is also kind of like the perfect parallel to what we're seeing on campuses where you have these like big freaks with keffiyehs yelling and there's a video of a bunch of the frat guys yelling at this girl saying like lose some weight or something and I'm like you know what yeah like that the parties are being split and the left is turning into the
Like humorless, sexless, fat, ugly party and the right is turning into fit hotties and I'm here for it.
unidentified
I can get on board that.
dave rubin
Connor.
unidentified
It was such a horrible trip.
Oh my god.
Normally whenever me and Malina would travel, um, we would usually only do cuck stuff for a single night,
but because Nim, I guess she really wanted, like, somebody who was like,
Eastern and had like a 15 inch dick or whatever, because it's like four times bigger than mine,
I had to do it for four nights.
They would lock me in the corner of the room and just, I would be getting cucked over and over and over again.
It was a brutal trip.
dave rubin
Do you know who this person is?
Yeah, do you know?
So this guy, this Destiny guy, I guess, I really don't know much about him.
He's supposedly like a, he's a liberal, but he's like non-woke or something.
And because everyone's always trying to find a not insane liberal, I guess that's like his lane.
Cause he's not completely insane, but his thing is that he likes other dudes to his wife.
So who's to say what's sane, huh?
You know, but.
But, oh, but I guess they got divorced since, right?
You're not gonna believe this, Erin.
They're not married anymore.
arynne wexler
I am shocked.
dave rubin
Spoiler.
arynne wexler
No way.
No way.
No, I did see a video I think of him recently and I thought it was a joke.
And so seeing this again, I thought it was his, his like ish kind of thing.
But apparently, I guess that's real for, yeah, I've never met a, a couple where when this is what they're doing, that they actually stay together forever and they end up happily ever after.
It's always the beginning of the end.
dave rubin
Grandma, Grandpa, what was the secret to your 75 years of marriage?
Oh, well, I used to have a YouTuber watch me bang others.
unidentified
It's so insane.
arynne wexler
Yeah, the secret was that I let your mom cuck me the whole time, and that's what kept us together.
I can't imagine.
It's so crazy, honestly.
I wonder, was she the one suggesting it, or was he?
Was he the one encouraging it?
Because in that video, he seems upset.
He's talking about how difficult it was, but maybe he enjoys the self-infliction of pain.
I don't get it.
I'm also confused because it looks like he had a gun in his background too.
So he's like, you're saying like, he's like one of those mixes where he likes 2A, but is against common sense.
Or like, I don't know what's going on in that clip, but society is definitely just unwell when you're able to put this On the internet and you're just telling everyone.
It's one thing to do it.
It's one thing to allow it to happen in your relationship.
It's entirely another to advertise it.
And you know, I guess I won't be surprised if he ends up dying his hair that weird yellow white color we talked about yesterday.
It's just a cry for help, apparently.
dave rubin
It's just a funny idea, like, so okay, you're married, right?
And let's say in this case, and my guess is it was the wife, was like, all right, you're not that attractive, actually, and let me just get banged by some of these other guys.
And the first time he heard it, he probably was like, well, I don't think that's a great idea, but he was like, oh, I wanna make her happy, let's try it.
Then it happens once, happens twice, happens three times, and then it's like four years later, and you realize you are so down in the rabbit hole of insanity that you you basically you can't stop or you get divorced and apparently they are it's so pathetic man my my my resume would not or my life story would not say most traditional guy around but i am becoming i'm going to be the king this will be 2055 and i'm going to be living in a castle with a gun just
arynne wexler
I'll join you in that castle.
dave rubin
Only shooting people on my property.
That's what I meant.
arynne wexler
Yeah.
I bet I could wear the tutu in that castle.
So that would work really nicely for me.
But, um, but I will say also the, the people on the left who encourage and, and, you know, are supportive of this kind of lifestyle.
They're also the ones that totally on traditional marriage and people getting married young and having kids.
And, you know, those people always pull extremely high on the happiness level.
And I think society would be happier if we didn't have so many choices.
And what I mean by that is this guy and his wife, they saw, like instead of looking at their marriage and saying, we need to fix this.
And I'm not married.
So I'm saying this and admittedly saying, I am not married, but I've had very long-term relationships and I never coached the guy I was with.
And so I have some experience with this.
And I think if you have a relationship of any sort and you're looking at how do we make this stronger and better, then you find the way to do that and you become happier instead of looking at outside of the relationship, right?
And seeing everything as an exit opportunity.
So, you know, I think people would just be happier if they were monogamous.
dave rubin
Can I just ask one technical thing?
I'm not sure if you're gonna know the answer to this.
Maybe I ask you guys.
But in this situation, when someone else is banging your wife, you're in the room watching?
Or can they just bang your wife elsewhere?
Like, can you go make a sandwich?
Or you gotta sit in the room and watch?
unidentified
I think you have to watch.
dave rubin
They don't know.
They don't know.
God bless them, these innocent souls here.
Do you know?
arynne wexler
Well, in the clip, he mentioned that he had to sit and watch.
So I'm only...
Guessing from that comment, not from any confirmed knowledge.
dave rubin
Yeah.
I am actually turning into Danny Glover from the Lethal Weapon series, where all he said for the last, like, four movies they made was, I'm getting too old for this shit.
unidentified
Over and over.
dave rubin
It was the one line he had to nail.
All right, Cotter, what do you got?
unidentified
So would you believe in the democratic vote, though?
So would people be allowed to vote in women politicians?
No other context We don't need any other context.
dave rubin
As they often say, queers for Palestine is very different than Palestine for queers, and that goes for chicks too.
arynne wexler
Oh, of course.
I love that.
Yeah, all of these.
I see your tweets, Dave, where you're offering, you know, business class for anyone who wants to go to Gaza, and I will chip into that.
That would be, I would be totally on board with that.
dave rubin
Yeah, that's- All right, you got 5K on one of these?
I'm offering 20 grand right now.
You find me one of these genderqueer, furry, fatto, weirdos, fupa-having, blah, blah, blahs.
20K on Rubin, five on Wexler?
arynne wexler
I'm safe, yeah, yeah, for sure.
Although I would like to save that and like siphon it over for one of the Hadids when they choose to go and wear one of their outfits in Gaza, because that would, I would pay business class, I'd pay 10 from one of the Hadids to go.
That would be, I think my eyes really lit up on that one, if anyone's watching the video.
dave rubin
I hate to tell you, I would love to send them too, but they will be flying their own plane, I am sure.
arynne wexler
You're right.
No, I can't.
I can't afford the PJ right now.
Can only afford schedules, you know, so, you know, one of the just woman of the people over here.
But yeah, no, I mean, that video is that's hilarious.
I'd never seen it before.
And that's what every leftist in America needs to see.
unidentified
Right.
arynne wexler
They're all chanting about.
You know, genocide and rights.
They know nothing, right?
They know literally nothing about how the rest of the world works and America is Candyland.
And that's why it's kind of funny when you see what's happening where some of them are actually getting arrested now and not able to attend their graduation.
Although most of them, I think, aren't getting too much.
You know, they're not really getting punished all that much.
But I saw a video of one of these fat weirdos Yeah, there are actual consequences in this world, and most American kids have never had to deal with any real consequences, so it's nice when they get to chant their little rhymes and camp slogans or whatever at these protests.
It's very different when it's actually in practice, so that video should be mandatory training for every college student on an American campus.
dave rubin
Well said, Connor.
unidentified
Hey, did you know that Saudi Arabia was the safest country in the world up until 2018?
I did not know.
Yeah, check it out.
According to Wikipedia, until June 2018, Saudi Arabia was the only country in the world in which women were forbidden from driving motor vehicles.
dave rubin
There's a theme developing suddenly.
There's a theme.
This is all out of the mind of Phoenix right now.
arynne wexler
There is a theme.
dave rubin
That's funny.
I mean, that's just funny.
arynne wexler
He just, but he also knows my strong disdain for female Uber drivers, which has gotten me in trouble in the past.
I hear a little giggle on the back.
It's not a giggle.
Phoenix is a man.
So sorry for calling that laugh a giggle.
It's a man's laugh.
Yeah, it's a man's laugh.
Sorry to the YouTube audience.
He's a, he's not a child, but you know, I, It is true.
I have been cursed and I actually think there's a chance that someone at Uber saw one of my Instagram reels where I was talking about being cursed with all these female Uber drivers.
They were always late.
They took multiple wrong turns.
It was just a total disaster and you know it was at least on Lyft and now and now I only get females.
So I think someone went into the computer went into the system and made it so that I will only get female Uber drivers.
So there are two things happening here.
The first is I might try to change my gender on my profile to identify as male now so that they only give me men because you know that's the thing that they do.
So I might be trying that and I can because it's 2024 so I could do whatever the F I want with that.
dave rubin
You could be in it!
arynne wexler
I could be in it. And then the other thing is on Lyft, they give you an option to request a female
only or non-binary, some mixed driver, which I'm sure there won't be any problems with that, with,
you know, men trying to be with women who only want female drivers. So there's that option.
I don't know why there isn't a lawsuit for discrimination around that, uh, because there's no male only option.
Not only do I want a male only option for my Uber drivers, I would pay a premium for it because if I want to get somewhere on time, have a competent driver, not have them be like so timid on the road and just get there, you know, not have all the short stops, but a smooth ride, I'd pay extra for that.
dave rubin
How can people contact you online?
We're not done with the show yet, but I just want people to know that they can directly contact you.
arynne wexler
You can directly contact me with any fan mail or hate mail, I prefer the hate mail, at nonlivetake on Instagram.
That's nonlivetake.
dave rubin
Look at that.
She's a pro already.
Connor.
unidentified
What do South Korean people think of Americans?
Crazy foods and being fat.
Oh my!
I don't think that way.
People in Korea think that way.
No offense.
Unhealthy food is much cheaper than healthy food.
Or some people are just lazy.
And it's easier to drive through and get something than to... So what do you think?
You're lazy so you always get your fast food for lunch.
No wonder you're a piggy.
Are you serious?
Well, it is.
dave rubin
I take it that was all unintentionally funny.
What show was that?
I Married a North Korean?
What was it?
It's like, what are they doing on these shows?
What is happening?
unidentified
My STD!
Yeah.

No, this guy has to be, he's probably trying to get a visa or something to America with the show because I don't know why else he would be with that girl that he's calling a piggy and grabbing her tummy.
So, but good on him for doing the work, I guess, to get into this country legally, because he could be like other people who are coming across the border illegally.
So I actually applaud his work.
dave rubin
How unfortunate, how unfortunate, though, that the stereotype of what America has become has in so many ways become true.
because if we could just get back to what you mentioned earlier,
imagine if we had the Chad's, right?
You had a bunch of fit dudes knowing what they wanna do, going out there and getting it, blah, blah, blah,
building new things, all of that, which is what so much of America was always about.
And then you had women that were out there making families, working if they wanted to, taking care,
like all of this stuff.
And then of course, there's gonna be people on the margins of those things
that can still fit within a healthy society.
Obviously, that is what the project of a pluralistic society is all about.
But we have just thrown out so much of it.
It's so, you ever see those, we play them on the Rubin Report every now and again.
You ever see those old black and white videos of like New York City or Chicago or from, you know, 1920s, 1930s, turn of the century kind of stuff.
And you see all of these people, And they're dressed right, and the hats are nices, and the dresses are nices, and all of this stuff in there.
But it's not even that, that they're just like walking through a city, and it's pleasant and good, and the paper boy is just as respected as the businessman.
And it's not, doesn't mean everything was perfect, but it was not this weird cacophony of genderless craziness that we are dealing with right now.
arynne wexler
Yeah, no, it's not to get too serious after being so not serious on the show.
dave rubin
Come on, come on, get serious, get serious.
arynne wexler
No, but I think that people don't respect each other right now because they don't respect themselves.
And you can't respect yourself if that's how you're treating your body and you're getting yourself fast food.
And I do think there is definitely a problem in our country of You know, the accessibility of fast food.
And so even though it's a choice, it's, you know, it's much easier and you're incentivized to get that food.
But you know what?
I, I've been abroad, I've lived abroad and people abroad have a lot less and they manage to get healthy food and cook at home.
And there's just a different prioritization of health in that way.
And, you know, so it's not, it's a, it's a cheap excuse for Americans to say that Fast food is only what's available.
And there are definitely cases in our country where there are food deserts, and it is harder to get healthy food.
But I would argue that that's often caused by the fact that in a lot of these places, you have supermarkets closing down or being shut down because there's so much crime that you just can't keep a supermarket open.
And it wasn't always like that.
We know that only in recent memory, like in the 90s, also when my parents were growing up, one of my parents grew up, very, very poor and their neighborhood was super safe.
It just, you know, being lower class did not make things dangerous for you.
And people had a lot of respect and people were very educated.
They just didn't have money.
And we've really lost that in our country.
dave rubin
Have you seen all these videos lately where people are going to like McDonald's
or Wendy's or Burger King or whatever, and being like, look at the price of what I bought.
They get the Happy Meal or whatever and it's like 30 bucks now because of how prices have gone.
And it's like, man, for 30 bucks for one meal, you could've got a grass-fed steak, you could've got some broccoli, you could've got just something simple, a sweet potato, and eaten a completely balanced, healthy meal.
So maybe do that instead of complaining about what all that artery-hardening stuff is doing to you.
Not that I want that thing to cost 30 bucks, because everyone can enjoy it now and again, but... Yeah, people just don't want to take responsibility.
unidentified
Damn you, kids!
Connor.
dave rubin
That's the dad beating the child.
arynne wexler
Yeah.
dave rubin
That's funny.
arynne wexler
Again, this goes back to what we were saying earlier, which is, I think if more people were bullied growing up, that we would have a healthier, happier society.
And that's because no one was told, stop being a weirdo.
And listen, it doesn't mean that you shouldn't be your own person and be to the march of your own tune of your own drum, whatever it is.
But, you know, it's just like all everyone now, I think that we're saying on College campuses and you know Gen Z they all have their purple pixie freak haircut stuff going on and and I reference that a lot because like it's just you always see it everywhere it's like you go to the barber and say make me look like I'm mentally unstable and they will give you that haircut but why is that and it's because this is the generation of participation trophies where you know everyone gets passed even though no one's reading at grade level and you're just never embarrassed you're never told no you're never told you have to work hard and
And I think, and I'm not advocating, obviously, not advocating for beating your child.
But what I am saying is I appreciate the spirit of that video.
dave rubin
Let's make that clear, internet.
Erin is not advocating the beating of children, at least of your own children.
Maybe somebody else's kid, but not your own kid.
arynne wexler
Yeah, yeah, correct.
Thank you for that clarification.
dave rubin
You know, I was in the supermarket a couple weeks ago, and there was this woman in the melon section beating her kid.
And I was watching like, oh God, what do you do?
It's so uncomfortable.
We've all seen that, just beating this kid.
And then I was going to walk up to them and say something, but I thought, what right do I have to hit this kid?
I stole that joke from a comedian from about 30 years ago.
I cannot remember his name, but if he's out there watching this, I stole that from you, whatever your name was.
Josh, Josh something, his name was Josh something.
We worked together at Gladys' Comedy Club on 45th Street.
All right, what do we got?

Can you give me something serious?
Give me something to comment on, for God's sakes.
What do you got?
Alright, he got something.

We really derailed here.
dave rubin
That was him again.
That was you again.

Come on, give me something.
Is there something serious happening in the world that we can offer interesting commentary on?
Please.

Fired from my job for being sick.
I got hired on March 7th.
Somehow I got sick during my interview and I brought home a virus.
Told him I wasn't gonna be there.
Finally get my training done and I'm in the classroom and...
I get a stomach bug.
This is literally, this is like a week and a half after I got over the cold.
At this point, I'm pissing out my ass.
So I told them, I can't come to work.
I'm on the toilet.
After the stomach bug, I caught a cold, a head cold.
And I mean, these were like back to back to back.
There was literally a couple of days in between each of these sicknesses.
I have a head cold now, and I have a fever.
Can't go to work.
In between all of this me getting sick, I had two court hearings that I had to be there for.
That should have been excused.
I finally get over the head cold, and I get a f***ing chest cold, which I have right now.
So then on Tuesday, I called out because I had a fever.
I was really f***ing sick.
I get called to go to f***ing HR's office, and she f***ing terminates me from my attendance.
dave rubin
Wow.
My new assistant.
unidentified
I knew we shouldn't have hired her.
dave rubin
There is a theme developing around the show today.
You feel this?
arynne wexler
There's definitely a theme, which is, who was it?
What celebrity recently was saying, like, don't hire from Gen Z because they don't work?
And it was some Hollywood, like, classic leftist celebrity.
And they were saying, I can't remember who it was.
Some famous celebrity saying, I won't hire from Gen Z. And this is why.
And you know, I, when I started working after college, I was working in finance on the trading floor and the fear of God was in us, right?
Like we, my friends and I, we had everyone's locations and every morning we were up at four 30 in the morning, making sure that everyone was on their way to work.
And if you were a minute late, if you were there after your boss, you were shaking, you were trembling.
You were like, I just, I'm going to get fired today just for showing up a minute after my boss, I might get fired.
And.
My friends who stayed at that company after I left, and I'm obviously not there now because I'm here watching TikToks with you, which is way more fun.
But, you know, my friends who are still there tell me about Gen Z just not caring, just act like because this is the generation where they were totally coddled and their parents treated them like the world is Candyland and there's always a nice cushion and can't, you know, you have to speak softly with these kids.
And and so there's no there's no remorse.
That's what's so embarrassing for her.
unidentified
Right.
arynne wexler
It's like she just There's no cons.
I remember working when I was super sick and, you know, it's like there was a snowstorm once and I was told, get your shovel ready and your boots because you're walking to work if the subway is not working.
And you know what?
It's actually a good mentality.
People have purpose when they have to work hard, when they muscle through things.
And so she'd probably be a lot happier.
And I just want to say that burp that she had in the middle there.
dave rubin
What's the burp?
arynne wexler
Chef's kiss.
Chef's kiss on the entire litany of excuses that she gave us.
dave rubin
The burp really was the best part.
But I can tell you, like, no joking aside for a second, I can tell you that one thing that I truly, truly love, I love when you meet someone who is doing a good job at something.
It doesn't matter what it is.
Like, my guys in the studio are all doing a good job.
They work hard.
We have a great atmosphere in here.
I'd like to think that that has a little something to do with the way that I wanted to build this thing and everything else.
But I mean, if I meet a waiter that is doing a great job, I will freaking way, way overtip, sometimes just double the bill altogether.
Or even if you go to the dentist, I just went to a new dentist and I was like, this woman is a great dentist.
She sat down, explained things to me, like anyone that is doing My landscaper, Rolando, who watches the show, I love him.
He loves his work and does great work.
And you can have that in life.
And then when you have that in life, then some of the other stuff, obsessing over your fupa, over your genitals, and all the other problems that you have, and your burping.
I wish I could just burp on demand.
I used to be able to do it when I was like 15.
That would have been...
But then some of the other stuff will go away if you find something you want to do.
And it may not be like the most... I have a guy actually out back right now that's cutting down some trees because we had some... Here's a Florida problem for you.
I got an iguana who's been climbing up a tree and then pooping directly in my pool.
So I've got a guy out there right now who's, but the guy busts his ass.
He's fun.
I like talking to him in the day and I know he likes doing it.
And it's like, that's great.
It's not the most fun job in the world probably, although he's outdoors and whatever, and he can stay fit and get some sun, but like find something that you just want to do and just do it good.
Like why not be the best ditch digger if that's what your lot in life is, you know?
unidentified
I totally agree with you.
arynne wexler
I totally agree.
And something happened during COVID when everyone was sitting home with stimmy checks, where I remember it used to be that you could go to, you know, a Starbucks and the person at the register had pride in their work and they were really nice.
And now there's attitude, like they're doing you the favor, right?
For, for taking your order and something about that.
It's like, it's just like totally turned up on, on the other side of its head right now that I don't know, but I will say Dave, it is very Florida for you to have an Iguana I'm not gonna get into your pool.
But what's less Florida is if I were you, can't you just shoot iguanas?
Like they're an invasive species.
I'm pretty sure you could have gotten it yourself.
So that's a little embarrassing for you, but you could have called me.
dave rubin
You want me to take my AR-15?
arynne wexler
I could have, listen, I'm a great shot.
And another time we will prove that.
It won't be today, but I could have taken care of that for you for free.
dave rubin
Honestly, I would trust you to come over and shoot the iguana out of my pool.
Then it's like a whole thing.
Then I got iguana in my pool, the iguana.
Then I got to bring the pool guy.
The pool guy is also very nice, by the way.
But I'm just saying, it's a lot of stuff.
It's a lot of stuff.
arynne wexler
Listen, you were stimulating the economy.
Another way to stimulate the economy is to buy guns.
But you did it in another way, and that was good.
dave rubin
But I've bought guns, too.
Connor?
unidentified
Shut up!
dave rubin
Well actually my feelings of that video changed halfway through because at first it appeared he was just driving in
a regular lane, right?
Like a car lane, and then upset that cars were in the car lane.
But then he was in a bike lane, right?
For the second half of that?
Wasn't he in a bike lane there?
If you're in a bike lane... Was that not a bike lane?
Oh, it was like an HOV lane or something.
arynne wexler
Yeah.
dave rubin
First off, if you're on a bike, stop videotaping yourself!
You're going to get killed!
arynne wexler
Oh yeah.
Everyone wants to be the victim, right?
Like you set up the camera.
I also, I've biked in, that's Manhattan.
I've biked on these bridges.
There are places to go when you have a bike, but what people don't like is that it's not always the exact route that you want to take that's most direct, right?
So sometimes avenues go up and sometimes they go down and, you know, on these bridges, you have to go on a certain side.
So, you know, I could be wrong here.
I don't remember exactly which bridge that one is, but I'm pretty, you know, there are bike lanes.
And it's also not your God-given right to be biking on a road with other cars.
It's like the left.
They want us all, no cars, just everyone on bicycles.
And let's see how Manhattan does.
He also could take that bike, I think, on the subway and get over.
It sounds like he's looking for trouble and looking to complain.
And that would be a very exhausting way to live.
But it's a day that ends in Y. And when you're a leftist, that is what you do.
So that's the video.
dave rubin
Isn't it funny we know he's a leftist just for having made the video in the first place?
You're like, that's just how it works.
All right, Connor.
Connor, I want you to give us something healthy to end on.
Give me something robust, something powerful, something moving, something emotional, something deep.
Here we go.

Summer break might be gone for Philadelphia schools in the near future, and this is not clickbait.
A plan is currently being worked on by the superintendent to introduce year-round schooling to Philly.
Instead of one huge summer break, students will now get smaller breaks throughout the year in addition to holidays.
The goal of this is to end the summer slide that happens where kids forget stuff over the long summer break, but it's not going to happen just yet.
First, 20 schools are going to be selected to test run this year-round school program.
And then for this upcoming school year, things will look mostly the same with expanded after-school programs.
But then the year after that, the 20 schools that were selected will begin the year-round school calendar.
We don't know which 20 schools will be selected yet, and we don't have any specific details on what a year-round calendar will look like, so I'll update you when that stuff comes out.
dave rubin
Think about all the problems that Philly has.
You know, Philly is one of those, like, top 10 cities that every time you see, like, the drug zombies and the crime and the blight, it's always, you know, it's San Francisco, of course, and L.A.
and Portland and Seattle, but Philly's always in that top 10 list.
And, like, this is what they're focusing on.
First off, as a child, or as a young kid, like, summer break is one of the great joys of life, even as an adult.
I mean, I take August off, but, like, just summer break, or just in general, the idea of the summer, is just so important, I think, in the yearly calendar.
But yes, this will fix all of your problems, Philly.
Congratulations.
arynne wexler
No, exactly.
I mean, just let kids be kids.
That's all I could think about when I see this.
And also, they're not actually willing to say what the problem is, right?
It's not summer slide.
Summer, believe it or not, existed when you and I went to school, right?
Like, summer has always existed.
And somehow, we didn't become retards when we left for the summer and went back to school.
And why is that?
dave rubin
Well... For the record, I was retarded for one semester, seventh grade, second semester.
There are reasons that I don't want to get into on the camera.
arynne wexler
But you know, we, you know, my parents were actually pretty chill because I'm type A, so I was studying to go back to school.
But my brother wasn't, and my parents would just help him.
And, you know, I say this because my brother's way smarter than I am, so I could rag on him a little bit on the show.
And he watches your show every day, so he'll like that shout out.
where I call him dumber and smarter at the same time. But you know, you found your way back to
school and it's when you have a house, you have parents who value your education, you find a way
to get ready for the school year. Also, I would love to know what the teachers union is being paid
to extend the school year, right? Because it's never about the kids.
This is the same teachers union that during COVID were doing cringe dances about why they would never go back to teaching.
And, you know, they're making all kinds of demands now.
So it's, I doubt this actually has anything to do with helping kids.
The only thing I can think of is that if they do know that a lot of these kids are in homes where education is not valued or encouraged, they might want to keep those kids in school to not be in those homes.
But that's not actually the solution.
The solution is making a culture where people care about this.
It's all, just let kids have their summer break.
Let them run around and play sports and be happy and be in the sun.
dave rubin
Get out of Philly.
Get your kids out of public schools.
Get a gun.
Move to Florida.
And Aaron and I will go shooting iguanas with you.
arynne wexler
Yes, we will.
dave rubin
Aaron, any final thoughts?
arynne wexler
Yeah, I'll shoot iguanas that are shitting into your pool out of the trees anytime you want.
So thanks so much for having me.
dave rubin
All right, I'll see you in about an hour.
