Welcome, Bongino Army, of course, as Dan
0:02
does his work at the FBI. Vince,
0:04
thank you for sending folks this
0:06
way. Vince, which comes from the name
0:08
of Vincente, which actually translates from
0:10
Latin to the hand that rocks the
0:12
cradle. I don't know why you'd name your
0:14
child the hand that rocks the cradle, but
0:17
wops are a silly people. Let's
0:20
enjoy the show. Glad
1:00
to be with you. And today's a little
1:02
bit different, especially for those of you who
1:04
are not Rumble Premium members. And we've been
1:06
doing this quite a while on the Friday
1:08
show, which was very often only Mug
1:10
Club, now Rumble Premium members. Anything
1:13
in the rundown? What are we talking about today?
1:15
What's in the news? You know, it's a
1:17
live show weekdays, 11 a .m. Eastern. But not everything
1:19
we do here
1:22
at the Lotto with Crowder Studios. We
1:24
don't have a name for studios. That's what I'm calling it. That's
1:26
fine. Yeah. Not everything makes air. And
1:29
by the way, that could be for a multitude of
1:31
reasons, but all of them good. It
1:34
could be it's far too
1:36
offensive to be on air. It could be the idea
1:38
is half -baked. It could be that we didn't quite think
1:40
it was ready for prime time. It could just be because
1:42
we thought it was really funny the night before. If
1:45
we were writing a couple of beers in the next morning,
1:47
it didn't even make any sense. So
1:49
today's show. That seems like an attack.
1:52
No, it's on me. Oh. Is
1:54
a scrapyard. See,
1:58
even the stingers have baked. Yeah, but that's better than
2:00
my stinger. Yeah. And you should know, by
2:02
the way, we were just talking about
2:04
Vegas. And Gerald I were
2:06
talking about how we didn't really like Vegas.
2:08
And I mentioned the Bellagio buffet. And
2:10
then you had your whatever quip. And you
2:12
guys, you all try it out. And
2:15
then I was like, no, no, no. It's actually
2:17
a good buffet. So you can get unlimited crab.
2:19
And I think, did I hear this correctly? Did
2:21
noodles sound off and say, I'm allergic to crab?
2:23
No. Oh, okay. No, I said something far more
2:25
offensive. Oh, okay. He said he
2:27
has crabs. There's always someone who mentions that.
2:30
Which I thought, that's what I thought you meant by Bellagio Buffet. I
2:32
thought you meant like one of those money ranch
2:34
type places. It's Vegas. It makes sense. But
2:36
I thought you were one of those people
2:38
who's allergic to shellfish who announces it to
2:40
everybody. No. I'm not that
2:42
shellfish. Someone's like, oh, well, if
2:44
there's shellfish and I'm even in the
2:46
room, it's like. We're clearly talking about a
2:48
place that is several states away. You're
2:50
not in any danger. How about I throw
2:53
a shrimp at you? I
2:55
want to fire noodles now, but
2:57
I'm not that shellfish. Oh,
2:59
my God. I'm glad we didn't
3:01
hear that. I'm glad I talked
3:03
over it, maybe. You leave the
3:05
studio right now. There
3:08
we go. That
3:11
was horrific. And
3:14
I tell bad jokes. Paula Poundstone's
3:16
understudy. Gross. You
3:18
can see her live at the Bellagio. Right
3:21
next to the buffet. I like it when
3:23
my ladies wear suits. Now, sure. So,
3:25
there we go. We're just going to get
3:28
into it. And you guys can let us
3:30
know what else you want us to not
3:32
allow to make air. Or you know what?
3:34
Here, how about this? Comment below. What bit
3:36
was on air in the last month or
3:38
so that absolutely should not have been? Let
3:40
us know. There you go. Oh, man, they say
3:42
that about me every day. What they say
3:45
about, don't take it personally. I do. The only
3:47
reason they say it about you is because
3:49
Noodles doesn't talk that much, so they don't think
3:51
of him. But now he's
3:53
removed all doubt by speaking. It's
3:55
going to be the shellfish bit. So,
3:57
all right, here's the first one
3:59
up. And
4:01
keep in mind, I don't know, some of these
4:03
are old, some of these are new, so I
4:06
don't fully remember what these are. That's part of
4:08
the fun. An
4:10
Australian homeowner made an unpleasant discovery.
4:12
I have no idea what this
4:14
is. It's like, could it be
4:16
a pipe burst? Could it be
4:18
AIDS? We're all on this journey
4:20
together. An Australian homeowner made an
4:22
unpleasant discovery when working in his
4:25
yard. Now, if you're a bit
4:27
yellow -bellied, you might want to look
4:29
away because a family in Sydney's
4:31
west found more than 100 red
4:33
-bellied black snakes in their backyard.
4:35
My goodness, let's go live to
4:37
Liam Tapper in Sydney. Liam, this
4:39
is my worst nightmare. It's
4:43
your worst nightmare. That
4:45
makes two of us. I
4:47
am hysterical covering this
4:49
story this Stop it. A
4:54
few days ago, they'd seen a
4:56
few Red Devil Blackstakes. Was that the
4:58
soundboard or was that in the...
5:00
That was in the clip? That was
5:02
the clip. Perfect timing. Guys, you
5:04
know I'm tired today, so I can't
5:06
tell. Wait, just stop it? Yes. That
5:09
was in the clip. Stop it. Stop
5:12
it. That
5:14
makes two of us. I
5:16
am hysterical covering this
5:18
story this morning. Stop it.
5:20
Oh, my God. You
5:29
are the luckiest front
5:31
to to my gut
5:33
with your shellfish bit
5:35
will be forgotten,
5:38
and superseded with,
5:40
stupid. Stupid. It
5:42
was oddly, like, annoyed,
5:44
flirtatious, but aggressively
5:47
aroused. Those two guys have
5:49
definitely seen each other. Yes, they have. I
5:51
was like, I'm flirting with you, but I'm your
5:53
boss. That's
5:55
awkward. Don't mention me crabs.
5:57
All right, let's continue talking about the rib,
5:59
Billy. I like the way they say
6:01
Billy. So
6:03
they called in the experts, the reptile
6:05
recovery team here in Sydney, thinking
6:08
they'd get four red -bellied black snakes
6:10
out of this pile of rubbish, this
6:12
mulch pile of sticks. That's not
6:14
a snake. To their surprise,
6:16
they found five red -bellied black
6:18
snake female mothers who were pregnant.
6:21
Underneath them, 71
6:23
baby red -bellied black
6:25
snakes. If you
6:27
thought that was bad, wait, there's
6:30
more. They put those
6:32
snakes into a bag over
6:34
the course of about
6:36
three to five hours. In
6:38
that time, those lovely
6:40
mothers gave birth. They welcomed
6:43
new life into this
6:45
world. 21 snakes taking the
6:47
full total to 102
6:49
red -bellied black snakes. How
6:51
would you be seeing that?
6:54
Absolutely. My stomach is turning right now.
6:56
Me too. Even talking about it.
6:58
Me too. Whoa. The
7:01
woman is far and away the
7:03
most masculine. I know. Me too. Those
7:05
are the red bellies. You guys right here. I'm
7:08
looking at a couple of yellow bellies.
7:10
Yeah, that's how she started if you're a
7:12
yellow belly. You're a yellow belly. I'm
7:14
looking at two free cakes. A little light
7:17
in the loafers. Two sprites. Stop it.
7:19
Shut up, fairy. Hey,
7:21
everyone better clap. Everyone
7:24
say you believe in Gerald or old boy.
7:27
Like a seal. Do
7:29
you believe in Gerald? Ah,
7:32
there's a dead fairy. So, by the
7:34
way, I have to say this.
7:36
The reason that I remember now why
7:39
we didn't include the story. I
7:41
was like, there is nothing notable about
7:43
this in Australia. Yeah, this is
7:45
like a Tuesday. Like, they're overselling, like,
7:47
would you believe there's more than
7:49
four? He'd be at five. He'd be
7:51
at 100. Yes, the answer is
7:53
yes. If Australia, we would believe any
7:55
number of deadly animals. So the
7:57
red -bellied snake is, in fact, venomous
7:59
because my notes say so. But
8:02
the Australian Museum notes, they
8:04
are a shy snake and will
8:06
generally only deliver a serious
8:08
bite. Under severe molestation. I don't
8:11
like the use of that
8:13
word. Haven't you
8:15
heard about old Billy the snake
8:17
rapist? We
8:19
had to go around saying, hey,
8:21
now you stop bopping snakes. That's right.
8:23
Yeah, we used to call him
8:26
the moccasin molester. That's right. When
8:29
he was done with him, we'd call him the water moccasin.
8:32
He's a wit. Moccasin
8:35
muck. Never mind. Go back
8:37
to your shellfish, mate. All
8:42
right. So there you are, Shry Snake. It
8:44
will generally only deliver a serious bite on
8:46
a civilian molestation, which was bad news for
8:48
this guy. I
8:52
remember working on this. But
8:54
the thing is, that's all we had for
8:56
the story. His snakes talked to the other snakes.
8:58
That's right. Well,
9:02
the scrapyard. They weren't biting
9:04
him. No. No,
9:07
they like him. Yeah,
9:10
his technique is he used to show
9:12
and dangle his bits like a worm. Did
9:15
you see how they were dressed? I'll
9:19
tell you what, that black mum was
9:21
asking for it. Look at his styles.
9:29
She looks like an Australian guy. This is way
9:31
funnier than we thought be. Yeah, well, look,
9:33
there's a reason that, because we have to stretch
9:35
it out, because there's very little with some
9:37
of these stories. So the next one is, when
9:39
we covered the Big Balls story, what's the
9:41
Big Balls story? The guy was named Big Balls.
9:43
Doge. Oh! Yeah, the Doge. Doge. Okay, sorry.
9:45
Again, this is also known as big balls. You
9:47
guys are used to a lot of people
9:49
who use like prompter. And I just have notes.
9:51
And I kind of am able to look.
9:53
But then when you're far enough removed from the
9:55
minister's story that you clearly were so uninterested
9:57
in that you didn't run it, it
9:59
doesn't. Big balls. Now I remember. We put it all
10:01
in one place for you guys. Well, my brain was
10:03
still on the snake rapist. Yeah. So. You're
10:06
like in and out of Australia, too. Yeah.
10:08
When we cover the big balls story. Big
10:11
balls. Tiny snake. Filmed
10:14
at 11. Oh,
10:19
Brian. For a second, I was trying to do
10:21
math and see what time that was. Central.
10:24
I can't. I can't. I can't do
10:26
it. Now I don't know what I'm
10:29
doing. Now I'm thinking of the British
10:31
broadcaster. Yeah. In the Panama Canal. The
10:35
caricature of a British accent. So when we
10:37
covered the Big Balls story originally, we actually
10:39
came up with an idea for a song
10:41
to go with it. Unfortunately, someone
10:43
else kind of beat us to the
10:46
punch, and that happens, especially in the era
10:48
of the internet where sometimes you spend
10:50
a lot of time crafting out a joke
10:52
or a series of jokes, and someone
10:54
will just sort of take like a premise,
10:56
but the premise is used online, and
10:58
it can be half -baked, like, ah, we
11:00
don't want to be seen as copying it.
11:02
So sometimes it happens, and unlike your
11:04
Colbert's or your Kimmel's, we just try and
11:06
avoid repeating it. So here is what
11:08
we cut regarding Big Balls that day. He's
11:13
got big balls. Oh,
11:15
such big balls. Truly
11:17
big balls. Big balls.
11:19
Biggest of big balls.
11:22
Come back, big balls. We
11:24
need you, big balls.
11:26
Because he's got the biggest
11:28
balls of them all.
11:30
Who among us doesn't feel
11:32
better about big balls? That
11:35
kid is a legend. The funny thing
11:38
is. The only person who you know does
11:40
not feel better about big balls is
11:42
Rachel Maddow. That's true. Doesn't matter to her
11:44
at all. It's like any balls. I
11:46
reckon that woman's a dog. Maybe.
11:50
Oh, thanks. She loves the ladies. And
11:52
the ladies love her. She's straighter
11:54
than that Australian guy. Yeah,
11:56
she would beat the guys. She would,
11:58
yeah. Stop it. Shut up. I will come
12:00
through that prompter. I've
12:03
never seen a super gay Australian. You
12:06
think of them as rugged and masculine. Oh,
12:08
yeah. It's very effeminate. It's kind of funny to
12:10
think about. they have Thunder from Down Under. What?
12:12
Yeah, but that's for women usually, isn't it? Supposedly.
12:15
I've been to one. What? Well,
12:18
when you were there, it was gay. What
12:20
the hell are we about? When you're not
12:22
there, it's heterosexual. You don't know Thunder from
12:24
Down Under? No, and I don't know that
12:26
I want to now that I'm the context.
12:28
It's the world's most premier male review. Yes.
12:32
Wait a minute. Yeah.
12:34
It doesn't sound right. No, no, it's
12:36
a review. It makes it sound a lot
12:39
more sophisticated than it is. Yeah, okay.
12:41
The lead -in is a little one -act about
12:43
Watergate. He's not wrong? I don't
12:45
know that we want to see... No! Hey,
12:47
hey, hey. That
12:50
might fly with those... at those
12:52
muscles. That might fly with those kiwis.
12:54
A couple of hopscotches over. Not
12:56
over here. We're a penal colony. Step
12:58
aside, Chippendale. Penile. Where's
13:00
154 red bellies when you need
13:02
them? He had
13:04
a flat belly. A
13:07
ribbed belly. I'll bet you he's had
13:09
work done. Yeah, he has. So
13:11
we came up with a New Year's theme
13:14
7 plus 1 to kick off 2025. But
13:16
I don't know why we kept having to
13:18
push it off for one reason or another until
13:20
it was no longer New Year's. Kind of
13:22
like saying Happy New Year's. You don't know
13:24
when it sort of crosses over. But if
13:26
you're in February, you're like, okay, I don't
13:28
really, I'm not going to say it anymore.
13:30
But that's what Scrapyard shows are for, which
13:32
brings us to, you have a stinger, right? Yeah.
13:34
Which brings us to this year's 7 plus
13:36
1. So
13:42
this is 7 plus
13:44
1 New Year's, well, leftist
13:46
New Year's resolutions. In
13:48
April. There we go. In
13:51
April. There you go.
13:53
All right. And some of these
13:55
have Photoshop's. Josh,
13:57
Mr. Feierstein, take number
13:59
7. Rachel Maddow is
14:01
going to finally grow
14:04
her hair out. Oh,
14:06
well, that's... Hey, hey,
14:08
it's Dyke Dynasty. Nice.
14:12
It's Nurse Strange. Dyke
14:17
Dynasty. That's great. It
14:19
took me a second. I
14:21
thought he said Duck Dynasty, and I'm like,
14:23
okay. Oh, switch
14:26
the letter. 7
14:30
plus 1 leftist New Year's resolutions. Gerald,
14:32
number 6. The young Turks will accept that
14:34
they are, in fact, the old Turks.
14:36
Ah, long in the tooth. Number
14:39
5. Ariana Grande is going
14:41
to get her goal weight
14:43
of 0. Oh,
14:45
I would have thought for sure we'd have a photo
14:47
show. I know, like anorexic Ariana Grande. Oh, I want
14:49
to do number 4. 7 plus
14:52
1 leftist New Year's resolutions. Number
14:54
4, James Carville. is
14:56
going to finally release his new cookbook.
14:59
I was just about to do Australian. Hold on, let me
15:01
read it. No, no, no, no. Shake it off, shake it
15:03
off. Shake it off. All right. James
15:05
Carville is going to finally release
15:07
his new cookbook. Recipes from the
15:09
swamp. I
15:14
don't even know if that's a Photoshop or just
15:16
a... No, it's just looks real. Or just from
15:18
his album. Everything calls for a half cup of
15:20
mud. Oh, no. Oh, half
15:22
a cup of mud in there. A mud
15:24
in there. That's the best part. Gotta
15:26
get dirty up and you get stuck in
15:28
your gums. That's right. You do some
15:31
of the bog mud. That's kind of like
15:33
a mayonnaise on my... Bog Swamp Sandwich.
15:35
Yeah, we call that a Bayou Dijon. And
15:37
the sauce is bon. I
15:41
hate that food. Really? So
15:43
bad. I like Cajun food. No.
15:45
You don't like crawfish etouffee? There is
15:47
nothing about crawfish etouffee. Data strips?
15:49
Or anything else. Yes, I love too
15:51
much paprika. Oh, come on now.
15:53
Come on. You're denigrating an entire region
15:56
of people. Sure. We should have never
15:58
bought it. All right. Number three,
16:00
7 plus 1 New Year's resolutions, Firestein.
16:02
Oprah is going to go to the
16:04
gym every day. That's nice. Oh,
16:06
I'm sorry. She's going to go to
16:08
Jimmy John's every day. What? I thought
16:10
she was going to get physically
16:12
fit. No. The
16:17
worst part about Oprah, do you guys remember
16:19
in the 90s, it was an epidemic of her
16:21
always, she was dispensing some kind of diet
16:24
or health advice. It's like, yeah, yeah, I'm sure
16:26
it works for you. We'll wait a couple
16:28
weeks. Yes. There's a
16:30
surefire way to lose weight and then gain it
16:32
back. Yeah. She always had do a Surefire
16:34
Way, which was confusing. Because she did. If you
16:36
have a Surefire Way, you don't need another
16:38
one. She did lose a lot of weight a
16:40
lot of times. Well, that's when she was
16:42
on the Gayle King diet. Oh,
16:44
just eating snacks. Oh. That's
16:50
a high -calorie diet. Sorry, they're
16:52
just pals. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. No,
16:54
no, no. Stedman knows how
16:56
to love. Long time. I'm on
16:58
the carpet diet. Call
17:01
me Stanley Steamer. Eating textiles. We
17:04
don't do that here. All right,
17:06
number two, leftist New Year's resolutions.
17:08
Kamala Harris is going to stop
17:10
drinking before noon. That's more of
17:12
a fact. We don't
17:14
know if that ever went through. And
17:17
number one, Geraldine, number
17:19
one leftist New Year's resolution.
17:21
Disneyland is actually adding
17:23
a new park called DEI
17:25
Kingdom. Sorry. Don't
17:27
get eaten by Gator. not going
17:29
to work. Okay. And the plus one
17:31
is actually seven plus one news resolutions.
17:33
Brian Stelter is going to try, but
17:36
then he's going to, and I know usually you'd play us
17:38
out, but we have a bunch of others too, because like this
17:40
is one. By
17:45
the way, you know
17:47
what? It's not really
17:49
fair. Brian Stelter is
17:51
not as big as
17:53
you think. That's a
17:55
shellfish reaction. Oh,
17:57
come on. It's puffy. We
18:02
had some additional leftist. Oh, I thought you
18:04
were like, I was a dig at noodles.
18:06
I thought you were saying like shellfish, like
18:08
he's hogging that sandwich. No, no, no. I
18:10
was saying it was a shellfish reaction because,
18:12
you know. Oh, I see.
18:14
a scrap. It doesn't have to be great. Fine.
18:18
So these are the New Year's resolutions. We can
18:21
go through them. First minute, Josh, what is
18:23
it? It's. Whoopi Goldberg is
18:25
going to finally get tested for lice.
18:27
What? I don't have lice, child. Jeez.
18:31
Yeah, still just act like there's...
18:33
No, don't shoot the lice. And another
18:35
way, Joe Biden is going to
18:37
transition from diapers to pull -ups. Well,
18:39
good for him. Making progress. Mommy, wow.
18:42
I'm a big boy now. I'm a
18:44
big boy now. Craps his pants.
18:47
One of my favorite moments of
18:49
all time was his rage
18:51
at Donald Trump. It was like
18:53
the rage. He like forgot
18:55
about the rage. Yeah, exactly. I
18:57
know it's like Harrison Ford
19:00
presidential kick him off your plane
19:02
rage. Yes, exactly. Get
19:04
out of my pull up. Now, Gerald,
19:06
the next one. Oh, yeah, this one
19:08
with his upcoming tie -off. Yeah, with his
19:10
upcoming tie -off, Pete Buttigieg will have another
19:12
butt baby. Wow. That's
19:14
nice for the nobody. Child
19:17
who's going through mental abuse right now.
19:19
Proper term is toilet baby now. Oh,
19:21
yeah. Another one.
19:23
Brian Seltzer will make over his
19:25
man cave. And that was going to
19:27
have a Photoshop, which was clearly gay. Because his man
19:29
cave is gay. What was the next one, Josh? I
19:31
don't even know why. There's two of them. Can I
19:33
choose one? Choose one, yeah. AOC
19:35
is going to finally learn how to
19:37
make a Jack and Coke. Oh, it
19:40
involves dancing. Hopefully.
19:43
That's the only way I would, you
19:45
know, Jack and Coke. So another one
19:47
is, oh, Hillary Clinton is going to
19:49
stop murdering people. Unlikely.
19:54
Unlikely. This one doesn't even make sense.
19:56
Gavin Newsom's going to stop playing with
19:58
matches. Oh, because they were fires. Oh!
20:01
At the time, this was hot.
20:03
This was hot stuff. Yeah,
20:05
this was hot off the press.
20:08
This was extra, extra. No
20:10
one should read all about it.
20:14
Chuck Schumer is going to take barbecue classes. Thanks
20:16
for stealing. I did. Yeah, absolutely. Cause you were
20:18
pausing. That one's good because of the cheese. He
20:20
put the cheese on the burger on the grill.
20:22
Yeah. This one I want to explain. Okay. Yeah.
20:24
A joke is always best when it needs explaining.
20:26
Yeah, let's do that. This one
20:28
was written about someone in Congress who I don't
20:30
know who they are, but their name sounds
20:32
like a baseball player. So it's confusing. David Ortiz
20:35
is going to stop skipping leg day. I
20:37
think that's a crippled guy. Oh.
20:39
I think that's a wheelchair guy,
20:41
actually. Shows how much we care.
20:43
Where, again, I'm not going to lie to you. I
20:45
don't know. He could be. Let's
20:48
say he is. Makes it
20:50
funnier. Makes it passable. For sure.
20:52
Michelle Obama. These are leftist New Year's
20:54
resolutions. Michelle Obama will finally work
20:56
on her traps. Just
20:58
kidding. It's her strong
21:00
suit. She doesn't need any
21:02
trap work. It's always trap day. It's always
21:04
day. Oh, man. This one's really messed up. I'm
21:08
trying to remember. Yeah, when we wrote this,
21:10
it was after. Okay, you'll understand why. It was
21:12
already after. Go ahead and read it,
21:14
Josh. Jimmy Carter will be taking
21:16
some time off. He was dead. Well,
21:19
so will Val Kilmer. Yikes,
21:22
Gerald. Well, I mean, read
21:24
the room. I'm a fan,
21:26
and it's sad. It is sad because he's
21:28
under 95. Yeah, you're all torn up about
21:30
it. Yeah, you're a real maverick. Sure. Okay,
21:33
I'm just going to rattle through these. I'm
21:35
a saint. are about? Joy Behar will finally
21:37
find out what smell is. Bang. That
21:40
sounded so funny. Jay -Z
21:42
is going to sleep with fewer minors. Diddy's
21:46
going to throw less parties. Elliot
21:48
Page is seriously thinking about transitioning into
21:51
something. Justin Trudeau will be
21:53
getting back with the gang for a new minstrel
21:55
show tour. That one could have been good with
21:57
a Photoshop. Yeah. Alec
22:02
Baldwin is applying for his concealed carry
22:04
permit. Yeah,
22:06
I'd be worried. Forgive me if I think
22:09
he's a little rusty. Shut
22:12
up, shellfish. You
22:18
started this. You did. You started this, and I
22:21
was trying to make it so you didn't feel
22:23
like you were alone in it, and then you
22:25
made me feel like I was alone in it.
22:27
Piece of shit. Tim
22:33
Walls is going to try and get that
22:35
head coaching job. Good for him. Is that a
22:37
football thing or is that a sexual thing?
22:39
I know. I don't understand the next one at
22:41
all. Tom Hanks is going to make more
22:43
time for Greece. What? Because
22:46
he's a Greek citizen because he's
22:48
an accused pedophile. Huh.
22:50
You can be a pedophile in Greece. It's
22:52
a whole thing that's... I didn't write it.
22:54
This next one doesn't work anymore. Harry Sisson
22:56
is going to have to find a new
22:58
sugar daddy. But now we know he's not
23:00
gay. Yeah, well, we
23:03
can hope. Let's just do
23:05
the last one because we don't need the
23:08
rest. The last one, Josh. Stephen Colbert is
23:10
going to try comedy. Oh, there you go.
23:12
There's a novel idea. This has been the
23:14
way too long this year 7 plus 1.
23:21
You forgot Stefan in the chamber. I
23:24
want to vindicate Josh. David
23:27
Ortiz is a wheelchair guy. Now
23:29
it's funny again. No,
23:31
wait. Hey, alley -oop me.
23:33
Alley -oop me. Boom.
23:36
You guys hear the donk? Yeah. Oh, I
23:38
missed mine. missed the second one. We
23:41
need a black guy in here. So.
23:44
I've been saying that for a while. I know, but
23:46
for different reasons. That's when you came back from
23:48
Thunder Down Under. You're
23:51
on a theme. He's used to
23:53
a certain, you know. I prefer
23:55
Thunder from Deep South. Yes. That's
23:58
because you got them swamp boys.
24:00
They're swamp ass. They used to
24:02
call me Swamp Thing. James
24:06
Carville is a member of Thunder Down
24:08
Under. Gross. We're presenting now,
24:10
coming up to the stage,
24:12
Swamp Thing. Get it now. Get
24:14
it. Get it. Shake your
24:16
swamp thing. Come on. Fiddle
24:18
with it. like it was a gator
24:20
strip, nah? Nah? Nah?
24:25
That's so stupid. That's
24:27
James Carville's gator boppers. Carville
24:31
and the gator boppers. That's some
24:34
etouffee and naked people. That's right.
24:36
That's some old Carville caramel. What?
24:38
You're gross. Oh, James Carville
24:41
and the gumbo girl. I'm horny.
24:44
Alright. So, you might
24:46
remember a few weeks
24:48
back. When this European
24:50
member of Parliament, Raphael
24:52
Glucksmann, far -left Frenchman, demanded
24:55
that Americans return the Statue of
24:57
Liberty to France. Here's a refresher. As
25:31
a man who speaks
25:33
French, I still do readily
25:36
admit that there's no
25:38
way for it to not
25:40
sound gay. That's true. I
25:43
can't even do it. American? Well, it
25:45
sounds very different from French -Canadian. Like, okay, I'll
25:47
give it to you. Without even speaking
25:49
French, see if you can hear the difference. Like,
25:51
French -Canadian is redneck, and French from France is,
25:53
like, please get me a penis. So,
25:56
like, French -Canadian would be like, ah,
25:59
si carliste, j 'allais au camping, pis
26:01
j 'ai claqué mon windshield. Right? It
26:03
doesn't sound pretty... Si je suis parisien,
26:05
j 'aime sucer le penis. I
26:09
got the last part. I heard penis. I
26:19
feel like you
26:21
have to do that
26:23
thing with your
26:25
mouth. You make it
26:28
look like a
26:30
bottle. Back
26:39
that up over here. So we
26:41
came up with a bunch of
26:44
different bits of the Statue of
26:46
Liberty thing, giving it back before
26:48
we ended up landing on, and
26:50
you saw these photoshops, Gluckman's backup
26:52
offer. Oh,
26:54
that's right. A historic show where
26:56
we take it for, I think it
26:58
was 40 cases of French wine. Nude
27:02
Beaches. Nude Beaches and half of Gérard Depardieu.
27:04
I know why we went with half of
27:06
Gérard Depardieu. Because it's funny. Leave that to
27:08
me. I don't know. It's funnier.
27:10
Yeah, it is funnier. It is funny. That's not
27:12
even the first iteration of half of Gérard Depardieu.
27:14
We saw it. We're like, that's wrong. Yeah, we
27:16
were like, no, we need just the top half.
27:18
Yeah. And we need it to be a little
27:21
bloody, and he's got to be smiling. Yes. And
27:23
then we also had another Photoshop as to what
27:25
Donald Trump was going to use the cash for
27:27
after pawning the Statue of Liberty. And then it
27:29
was using, yeah, Tesla. Yeah. Skis. Didn't
27:31
we end up using that somewhere else? No, we did. We
27:33
did use it. Oh, okay. We did use it. What
27:35
you didn't see was our first
27:37
idea, which was President Trump proposed giving
27:39
it up and replacing it with
27:42
a statue of RFK. Actually,
27:46
no, I kind of
27:48
don't mind it. I've
27:52
forgotten. I think we did it, and
27:54
then someone was like, why does he have a zin? I'm like,
27:56
don't you know he had a zin at the hearing, at the
27:58
confirmation? I'm like, ah, I guess if you You gotta cut it.
28:00
Just cut it. Yeah, you gotta cut it. I
28:03
thought that was pretty funny. I
28:06
think you would. For
28:09
71, he looks pretty jacked. Yeah. Which is
28:11
exactly what you can expect if you get
28:13
the jacked up fitness power rack. Yeah. The
28:15
pro. Actually, right now, I think they're out
28:17
of, or right now, temporarily out of the
28:19
evolution because so many of you went and
28:22
purchased it. I know they're adding more stock
28:24
to it, but the jacked up Power Rack
28:26
Pro is, I mean, it's the best. It's
28:28
the top of the line where you'll never
28:30
need to upgrade anything. The pulley system is
28:32
incredibly, we have one here at the office
28:34
gym. It's what we largely use. It comes
28:36
with a full set of their branded bumper
28:38
plates. And by the way, that means they're
28:41
all the same diameter, which makes it quite
28:43
convenient. For example, if you have to deadlift
28:45
and you don't want to have to do
28:47
a deficit, they have a fully adjustable incline
28:49
-decline bench, which comes with it. And they
28:51
also, by the way, have some daily video
28:53
workouts. Oh, yeah. We don't necessarily need this,
28:55
but if you're new and you're getting started,
28:57
they're very helpful. You just hit play and
29:00
you can go watch their videos. So use
29:02
the promo code CROWDER, save 10 % off your
29:04
entire purchase, and go to getjackedup.com. What
29:06
does it say? Someone tried to thought this was cute.
29:08
It says gravelly voice not included. That's not good, guys.
29:13
Are they giving us jokes? That's
29:15
no good. Maybe. Gravelly voice not
29:17
included. Is it just me? And I have
29:19
this written twice, the commercial in front of me.
29:21
All right. That's good. RFK. Let's go JFK. Okay.
29:29
Help me out. I don't think we should
29:31
do the gunshots. Hey,
29:34
Billy saved it, Gerald. Yeah, exactly. Just make
29:37
sure that if we're talking to JFK, the
29:39
gunshot, there's a ricochet sound of a second
29:41
shooter. I'm
29:43
trying to remember where this is going because
29:45
I'm like, how tasteless is this going to be?
29:47
Every now, every time I do this, I'm
29:49
always a little worried because it's either something like,
29:51
okay, shouldn't have made air or it's something
29:53
that we absolutely did not want the public to
29:55
see. And when I'm thinking JFK and what's
29:57
been surrounding, I'm like, this could go sideways. Are
30:00
we going to be like, it was the
30:02
Jews. Yeah. Well, I mean, we're obviously all starting
30:04
from that premise. So
30:07
are there a lot of.
30:09
I don't know. There was a
30:11
rabbi on the grassy knoll.
30:14
So just look, we'll go back
30:16
in time, okay? Again, scrapyard.
30:18
Recently, President Trump appeared at the
30:20
Kennedy Center and announced the
30:22
release of the JFK files. We
30:24
are tomorrow announcing and giving
30:26
all of the Kennedy files. So
30:29
people have been waiting for decades for
30:31
this. I don't believe we're going to redact
30:33
anything. I said, just don't redact. You
30:35
can't redact. Have you seen what's in the
30:37
files? Have you read them? I've heard
30:39
about them. Anything interesting? It's going
30:41
to be very interesting. It's many
30:44
pages. Is it 80 ,000 pages? Approximately
30:46
80 ,000 pages. So it's a
30:48
lot of stuff. And
30:50
you'll make your own determination. My
30:53
prediction? It was murder. So
30:58
we had some other material here
31:00
this day, which was that rumblings.
31:02
Oh, okay. I remember this. Yeah.
31:04
I don't like it. Rumblings
31:08
was really Ted Cruz's dad
31:10
all along. Uh -oh. And
31:15
it was take your kid to work
31:17
day. And
31:21
Alex Jones was right all along. And
31:28
I think this is because that was not Dealey Plaza at
31:30
all. No, that's what it was. We're like, what? It's like
31:32
a fence and a road. Little
31:37
Ted Cruz, a big Ted Cruz head
31:39
and a lollipop. That is fun. It
31:41
saves it a little. That is fun.
31:43
But for some reason, we thought the
31:45
historical accuracy as to the location was the
31:47
rate limiting factor in this. We
31:50
had other jokes. We had other ones. No,
31:52
that works. That works out pretty well. By the
31:54
way, I thought it was hilarious that all
31:56
this did. He's like, ah, it's pretty eye -opening.
31:58
All this did was make people go, the Jews
32:00
killed Kennedy. Because they're like, oh, the
32:02
CIA redacted the Israel stuff and all the Jews
32:04
But they didn't. That's the funny
32:06
thing. They didn't because people were like, they redacted. It's
32:08
like, you're reading Israel right here. No, I know.
32:10
Exactly. We talked about that. But when he said that,
32:12
now that I know, like in hindsight, either he
32:14
knew exactly what he was doing or he had no
32:16
idea what he was doing there. Right. Hey,
32:18
I had a question. Do you have some of
32:20
the BTS slots in there at all? Because I
32:22
don't know. No? I think I could get them.
32:24
Yeah. Okay. If you want to grab a couple,
32:26
we can combine that here with the scrapyard. Here's
32:29
the other story that we had covered. Guys,
32:31
did I miss anything? Anyone want to? No.
32:34
Just me. You're good. Hey, well, hold
32:36
on. One quick question. Oh, yeah? Did
32:38
you see on the Statue of Liberty how
32:40
they said that that was actually a satanic? Who
32:43
did? Somebody was on
32:45
Joe Rogan's show. He said it was actually a
32:47
statue of Satan. Can you pull up the side
32:49
-by -side for that? The Statue of Liberty and Satan?
32:52
They're saying that it was like an ancient. It
32:54
looks exactly like Satan because they're like, it's a
32:56
far too masculine looking woman. That's not the statue.
32:58
I did always it was a pretty manly looking
33:00
woman. It is a little manly. I'll give you
33:02
that. This person has
33:04
a shackle on their ankle just like this
33:06
satanic statue did. That right there. Oh my
33:08
god. So what's really interesting, do me a
33:10
favor, find the painting of Lucifer and get
33:13
the full painting. Because when you look at
33:15
it like that, you're like, wow, that looks
33:17
pretty similar. Both arms are up in that
33:19
painting. Exactly. In the painting, both arms
33:21
are up, the legs are spread, kind of like
33:23
staggered, like they're taking a stance or something like
33:25
that. I can't remember. But this made the rounds
33:27
when everybody started like, I can't believe it. And
33:29
this guy's like, look, it's Lucifer. a
33:32
Statue of Liberty. And it's the French. It's
33:34
a statue and it's a picture. We don't
33:36
actually know what Lucifer looks like. That's true.
33:38
That's true. But if they're saying, hey, this
33:40
is Lucifer. I mean, the Koreans think that
33:42
Jesus is ripped and has slanted eyes. Yes,
33:44
I know. He is. I
33:47
mean, I believe he's ripped, but I think he
33:49
had eyes wide open. He used the jacked up
33:51
fitness. Yes, he did. I'm sure. What do you
33:53
think he went away for three days to do,
33:55
Josh? Yeah. He wanted to get in shape, get
33:57
ripped, come back. Yeah, he needed three days of
34:00
recovery. There you go. Get that pump on. Celebrate
34:03
Easter with a jacked up. Oh,
34:05
God. Jacked up Jesus. Jacked up
34:08
evolution. Resurrect
34:10
yourself. From the three days
34:12
of being a pussy. One
34:14
guess why Gerald wanted to pull
34:16
this painting. I didn't know that. Wow,
34:18
Gerald. You begged us.
34:20
No one brought this up. Gerald
34:22
wanted it. I didn't realize that. Am
34:25
I the only one, though, who
34:27
does recognize that, hey, whoever did a
34:29
very respectable job on Lucifer's wheels.
34:31
Nice quads. Yeah, that's some good legs.
34:34
Yeah, he can move. Satan never skips leg day.
34:36
No, he definitely does not. Same thing with the
34:38
statue of David. You know, it's funny. Tiny
34:40
penis, everything else. Aside from the tiny penis.
34:43
Yeah. But you look at the, which, by the
34:45
way, I don't know why you have a
34:47
problem with it. No, it's hilarious that all the
34:49
old... It looks pretty big to me. Yeah.
34:51
Oh, yeah. Okay, sure. What are you, Chinese? Yeah.
34:53
Okay, humble brag. Jeez. Tall,
34:56
handsome, gifted. the standard of... You'd have to use
34:58
a banana leaf on me. A fig leaf won't
35:00
cover it. It's funny to me, because I'll talk
35:03
about the differing, sort of changing standards of beauty
35:05
in women. And that's kind of true. Not
35:07
for men. Even back then, it's like, oh,
35:09
yeah, for a very handsome man, you have to
35:11
be jacked and ripped, which is very difficult
35:13
to attend. Can you bring up that statue, the
35:16
famous David statue? And,
35:18
you know, the one thing that you do notice,
35:20
though, for sure, because you had a lot of
35:22
athletes back then, when you're even going back to
35:24
Greece, but you did have a lot of athletes,
35:26
the original Olympians. They're jacked and they're ripped, but
35:28
here's the primary difference that you notice, and this
35:30
is kind of developed with the modern advent of
35:32
weightlifting, because they would lift up boulders, you know
35:34
I mean? They'd lift up other people. Very practical.
35:36
But there really was no horizontal, like a bench
35:38
press. So they typically always have pretty big legs.
35:40
And even for today, be like, okay, a guy
35:42
has big legs, pretty big shoulders, wiry arms, but
35:44
they don't have the pecs. The pecs kind of
35:46
have to be artificially created. You have to kind
35:48
of position yourself horizontally. Nowhere do you really do
35:50
that naturally. Yeah. You can do push -ups, I
35:52
guess, but that's it. It wouldn't get you, you
35:54
know, like the Arnold pecs. Like it requires a
35:56
lot of work. But yeah, if we bring up
35:58
the Statue of David. Yeah, see,
36:00
they've always... Sunui, legs, and then if you look
36:02
at the other soldiers back then, you're like, okay, but
36:04
they never had big pecks. Good set of nuts
36:06
on that guy. Big set of nuts. Yeah, it's bigger
36:09
than his penis. Look at that. That's
36:11
normal, Gerald. Okay, I'm
36:13
sorry. I'm just saying... It's not
36:15
weird. Your nuts are supposed to
36:17
be larger than your pecker. It's nature's
36:19
bench rest. Yes. I
36:25
can't say anything else. So...
36:29
A little while ago, we
36:31
covered a Senate hearing where
36:33
Rabbi Levi Shemtov raised the
36:35
issue not only of anti -Semitism
36:37
on campus, but it's not
36:39
enough to not be anti
36:41
-Semitic. You have to be
36:43
anti -Semitic. Here's a refresher. Anti
36:46
-Semitism is not just an
36:48
age -old prejudice. It is a
36:50
contemporary crisis manifesting on campuses
36:52
across the nation. It
36:55
is not enough for individuals or
36:57
institutions to merely claim they are not
36:59
anti -Semitic. As my father
37:01
once taught me, it is not
37:03
enough for people, especially public figures,
37:05
to be neutral or not be
37:07
anti -Semitic. One must be anti -anti -Semitic.
37:09
We must demand the same of
37:11
our universities and government institutions. This
37:13
hearing, in my opinion, is an attempt
37:15
to be just that, anti -anti
37:18
-Semitic. Well, I want to play that
37:20
again, and it still makes me kind
37:22
of angry. I didn't
37:24
notice before in the background, if you look,
37:26
it kind of looks like the Orthodox
37:28
Mafia, like the one guy. But then
37:30
if you look the back and watch this
37:32
clip to his right, our left, it
37:34
looks like that guy is constantly looking
37:36
toward the door for like an active shooter
37:39
scenario. Watch. Anti -Semitism
37:41
is not just an age
37:43
-old prejudice. It's a contemporary
37:45
crisis manifesting on campuses across
37:47
the nation. It
37:49
is not enough for individuals or institutions
37:52
to merely claim they are not
37:54
anti -Semitic. Whoa, whoa, those
37:56
things are crossing a little bit.
37:58
People, especially public figures, to be
38:00
neutral or not be anti -Semitic.
38:02
One must be anti -Semitic. We must
38:04
demand the same. He keeps looking
38:06
over. He's looking at that Jewish
38:08
guy. He doesn't trust him. Look,
38:10
he keeps looking. He keeps
38:12
looking. I wonder if there's a
38:14
rabbi off camera with like a rattle.
38:17
Hey. What? Hey. It's
38:20
just weird. The dreidel. Hey. So,
38:22
Rabbi, you can't say anti -anti -Semitic.
38:24
We, of course, asked what this
38:26
rabbi wanted us to do to
38:28
make our colleges more pro -Jew
38:30
with this Photoshop. Yeah.
38:33
That's right. Jew! Yeah.
38:36
What we didn't air I never wore that
38:38
shirt. And the reason... Scrapyard. By the way,
38:41
just so you know, we are shielded from
38:43
any and all legal liability. Or offense that
38:45
may be caused because it's Scrapyard. Yeah, that's
38:47
true. Yeah, we didn't mean for this to
38:49
happen. We actually air it. Yeah. We talked
38:51
about how we didn't air it. Exactly. Right.
38:53
And referenced it. It's completely different. That is
38:55
true. Yeah. It's like saying the N word
38:58
in a rap song. Yes. It's exactly like
39:00
that. What
39:02
we didn't air was the other
39:05
part of this bit. So
39:07
to help with the cause, some campuses.
39:09
All right, I'll go back as though in the
39:12
present time. To help with the cause, some campuses
39:14
are offering free star of David armband so that
39:16
everyone knows who to be nice to. Yeah,
39:21
we needed the
39:23
band. The
39:25
everything else wasn't enough. The
39:28
face that says, I make the
39:30
bagels, wasn't enough. That's
39:35
a reference to the Dunkin' Donuts guy, right? I
39:37
make the donuts. What happened
39:39
to that guy? He's probably dead.
39:41
The face that said, I could
39:43
set your jewelry. Yes, exactly. Hey,
39:46
come see me in the Diamond District. Why did
39:48
they all sound like that, by the way? That
39:50
rabbi had that accent. He's from Reno. Yeah,
39:52
I don't know. I
39:54
really don't know. He's probably from New York. This
39:57
is a new watch. And I always say, you
39:59
know, I know what you're saying. Is this watch
40:01
battery powered? Is it solar powered? No, it's me
40:04
powered. Well, you got their Blue's Clues. No,
40:06
no, no. What do you got there? Peppa Pig.
40:10
It's clock. Yes. The one thing,
40:12
though, with these watches, and I
40:14
do like it, is the calendar
40:16
always goes to 31. So
40:19
you always have to reset it, like, on the first of
40:21
the month. Wait, you said you do like it? No, that
40:23
I don't like it. Oh, you don't. was about to say,
40:25
yeah. Why do you take what I say and then pervert
40:27
No, I thought you said do. I didn't say do. Well,
40:29
I mean, I just wasn't paying attention. You didn't hear me
40:31
say I like it. You heard me say I don't like
40:33
it. Yeah. Yeah, for sure. I heard you say that. have
40:35
to turn to him who sold me out over the crab
40:37
being a crab and not a lobster and Little Mermaid? You
40:39
know that what you just said makes no sense. you bringing
40:41
this back up? Yeah. I'm bringing it back up because you're
40:43
not a man truth. Actually, we don't even remember that. Yeah.
40:45
I think he's making it up. He hasn't made up. Uh
40:48
-oh. Noodle's belly too, and I
40:50
think Gerald's dropping acid again. I didn't wash
40:52
the little mermaid. I'm not woke enough. Nope.
40:54
No. I'm just saying you sold me out
40:56
last time, and I haven't forgotten. You
40:59
know, you were a vindictive for a
41:01
big man. remember. You are a very small
41:03
person. I remember. Shut
41:07
up. You are petty
41:09
and small -minded. Thank
41:11
you. For such a large
41:13
Aryan. We
41:16
were just talking about stand -up bits that
41:18
you've had to scrap. Yes. Do you have
41:20
some that stick out? There are some that
41:22
I find funny. Either I didn't get the
41:24
point across right, or I didn't get the
41:26
wording across right, but the audience didn't receive
41:28
them as well as I'd hoped. Okay. Like
41:30
I did this one bit. I've
41:33
always had a fantasy of having
41:35
sex with a deaf girl. Deaf?
41:38
Yeah. Okay. Just so that she could
41:40
sign her safe word. okay it doesn't work
41:42
no and then i would not really
41:44
a couple guys will laugh but then i
41:46
would turn around and go like like
41:48
that and go i'm surprised that didn't work
41:50
i think it's the voice i think
41:53
that's the part oh is that i go
41:55
i don't know what that means speak
41:57
english bitch maybe if you add it be
41:59
like well the problem is after sleeping
42:01
with if you you know do that and
42:03
tag it with the problem is after
42:05
sleeping with multiple deaf women turns out they
42:07
all have the same safe word and
42:09
sign it's How
42:13
many ways can you sign stop? I
42:17
am surprised that didn't work. I had
42:19
a bit like that about Charlie Brown
42:21
shooting up the school when I was
42:23
young. Really? That's very similar. No,
42:26
I'm just saying it was tough to make work
42:28
because I had him like holding Linus hostage and
42:30
like making him cuddle his blankie and saying his
42:32
last words. It was one of those things that
42:34
was early on where it was too dark and
42:36
I didn't know how to transition it into something
42:38
funny. I did have some things that I would
42:40
have to, so I had to scrap. I had
42:42
a bit about Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and
42:44
the piece of crap grandfather who was a cripple
42:46
until he knew he could get some free chocolate
42:48
because. John Mulaney ended up doing something
42:51
very similar. I was like, well, then people will think
42:53
that I lifted it. Yeah. The
42:55
same thing I stopped doing. Well, I kind of
42:57
stopped doing the one bit that I did about Donald
42:59
Trump at debates because Shane Gillis, and his is
43:01
very funny, he did it even though after, like mine
43:03
goes back to 2015, you can see a YouTube
43:05
installment. Like, ah, well. He it on a special. Yeah,
43:08
he did it on a special. That's good impression.
43:10
You just don't want to feel like you run into
43:12
the same territory. Yeah. But,
43:14
you know, I don't.
43:16
Yeah. Even
43:18
any of the bits that you scrapped, Josh? Yeah, lots
43:20
of them. I
43:23
was going to say something, and then you went into
43:26
the Shane Gillis thing. Oh, it was a joke that
43:28
I did. It was exactly the same as somebody else's,
43:30
and I didn't want to keep doing it because I
43:32
felt like I was lifting it. I
43:34
read Jim Gaffigan's book. I read part of
43:36
it. I actually stopped reading the book when I
43:38
read the joke that I used to tell on stage, and it was right
43:40
after my wife and I had our first baby. That's what I'd say. I said,
43:42
my wife and I just had our first baby. It
43:44
was delicious. Okay. But
43:47
that's what was in his book. It's like
43:49
word for word that. And then another time I
43:51
had done that was it's not the exact
43:53
same joke, but it's the same style. And I
43:55
feel like he owns it. But Mitch Hedberg
43:58
has a joke where he goes, I used to
44:00
do drugs. I still do drugs,
44:02
but I used to, too. Yeah. And
44:04
everyone knows that joke. Every comic knows that joke.
44:06
And one time I was telling a story about my
44:08
brother and he has Down syndrome. And I said. Right.
44:11
Okay. Okay,
44:13
Charlie Brown. I said
44:15
the words wrong. I
44:18
meant to say something like growing up, my brother
44:20
had Down syndrome and then go into the story. But
44:22
I said, when I was a kid, my brother
44:24
had Down syndrome. And then, oh, he still
44:26
does. But immediately I was like, oh, you freaking
44:28
hack. No, but that's just probably, that was just like
44:30
a word whisker. That's funny. A word whisker? Well,
44:32
I just mean, it's like, you know, it tickles you.
44:34
Well, no, you said it. Well, did you write
44:36
it or did you set it on the spot? I
44:38
set it on the spot. Yeah, I think that's
44:40
funny. Well, I'm not gonna do it again. I mean,
44:42
unless he's the first, like, he'd be a miracle
44:44
of modern medicine if he just like woke up one
44:46
day and came out looking like Jude Law. You
44:50
donated a chromosome. you do? You just, you run
44:52
some. You've been doing that Instagram.
44:54
It's the other way around. Down syndrome has
44:56
an extra chromosome. So it's like if they could
44:58
surgically remove one and then his eyes would
45:00
go back to normal, that would be incredible. Oh,
45:03
here's another bit, too, about my brother. See, there's
45:05
a lot of bits about my brother I don't tell
45:07
on stage because I'm like, there's no way. I
45:09
do a great impression of my brother, but I'm not
45:11
going to do it because people are going to
45:13
be so offended. Why? He's your brother. Don't let them
45:15
take that from you. Yeah, the voice feels like
45:17
a little too much. Really? Sometimes, yeah.
45:20
I'm not going to force you anything you're
45:22
uncomfortable with, but I want to see this. I'm
45:26
not going to do it. No, I'm not
45:28
going to do it. Do it. It's the
45:30
live scrapping. I told you. I
45:33
told you, you are the worst sneaky food in
45:35
the house. I don't even know him, but I feel
45:37
like I'm there. Yeah. I
45:39
used to sleep eat. What?
45:42
Sleepy? Yeah, I would get up in the middle of
45:44
the night and eat food. I didn't realize that it
45:46
was me doing it until I was in the Army,
45:48
and I got caught by my platoon sergeant. While
45:50
he was sleeping, I was butt naked.
45:52
I slept naked. We're in Afghanistan. Whatever. I
45:55
sleep naked always. It's the only way to sleep.
45:57
Butt naked in front of him eating the Oreos
45:59
that his wife had just sent him. No. I
46:01
ate the whole container. He said, I don't want
46:03
to wake you up because, I mean, I could
46:05
take you. But sleep, you're not
46:07
supposed to wake up a sleepwalker. No, no, no, no,
46:09
no. Plus you're naked. So I
46:11
basically just right in front of him was eating
46:13
the Oreos that his wife had sent. And that's
46:15
when I discovered that another guy was like, oh,
46:17
yeah, I saw you eating in your sleep the other
46:20
month or whatever. And so I was like, oh,
46:22
have I been doing this my whole life? And
46:24
then it just had like a revelation in my
46:26
head, like all the times in my life where
46:28
I've been sleep eating and it got blamed on
46:30
my brother. Because he had Down syndrome. And
46:33
so my dad would find cereal
46:35
bowls with just a little bit
46:37
of milk in the bowl. hidden
46:39
under the bathroom sink. Yeah, of course you'd blame
46:41
him. And so that's my brother. My brother will hang
46:43
on to it for the rest of his life.
46:45
See, I told you. You are the one sneaky for
46:47
in the house. See, I don't even promise. He's
46:49
okay with it now. I
46:51
may have done it, but I'm not a
46:53
monster. Yeah, exactly. I'm the monster just letting
46:56
him take the blame for this. Oh, man,
46:58
that's like a nightmare where you're screaming and
47:00
nothing comes out. But he knows he's right
47:02
and no one believes him. It's
47:04
not because he's actually
47:06
doing it. I've
47:09
heard of that, and it is surprising,
47:11
because I get night terrors, and it is
47:13
surprising. But it's not as surprising as,
47:15
for example, it would be really crazy if
47:17
you woke up in the middle of
47:19
the night, people found you sleep dieting. Sleep
47:21
dieting? I wish I was. Keeping a
47:23
food journal? I wish I had sleep bulimia.
47:28
Sleeper side. And they blame it on your
47:30
brother. Ah! Ah, you puked in your brother's
47:32
bed again! No! Well,
47:34
I'm just going to say that you did because it's
47:36
easier for me to blame this on you than it
47:38
is for me to get to the bottom of it.
47:40
It's been, you know what, hey, maybe I'm getting the
47:42
short end of the stick, but this is part and
47:45
parcel of being retarded. We actually do
47:47
have, I believe, yeah, we have some behind the
47:49
scenes. So for some people, this is the first time
47:51
you're seeing this. Well,
47:53
not the show, but the first
47:55
time you've seen one of these segments
47:57
behind the scenes, BTS, the kids call
47:59
it. It's also a Korean band, I
48:01
believe. It's a K -pop band. Yeah,
48:03
it stands for Big Trans Sex. Okay.
48:06
All right, let's go with that. I was going
48:08
to say I can't tell the women from the men
48:10
with the K -pop band, so I don't even know.
48:12
I don't know if it's supposed to be their
48:14
equivalent to Spice Girls or NSYNC. It's all the same
48:16
to me. That's why I like the United States
48:18
of America, where the men are still men and the
48:20
women. All right, Korea, you got us
48:22
on that one. BTS,
48:24
do you want to see how the sausage is
48:26
made? Here you go. Okay,
48:44
and action. My
48:46
name is Crowder, Commander. So
48:50
sketches, a lot more goes into
48:52
them than it might seem. It's way
48:54
more involved than I thought it
48:56
would be. It starts off with the
48:58
writers. I do write sketches that
49:00
screw with people, personally. Like
49:02
Gerald. Wardrobe,
49:05
props. I freaked out when I got
49:07
here and I saw the production level.
49:10
I mean, just the wardrobe. I've done shows
49:12
at NBC and ABC. They don't have that
49:14
much wardrobe. Visual effects. I didn't realize what
49:16
everyone here was capable of. And so I
49:19
was writing things like, oh, we can't do
49:21
that. Can't do that. And then Johnny Boyd
49:23
would be like, why not? I'm like, oh, because, well, I
49:25
mean, it's got these multiple shots and it's part of
49:27
a movie. It's a parody and we got to bring
49:29
this. And he's like, that's not for us to figure
49:31
out. Okay,
49:34
we'll see if that gets made. And then sure enough,
49:36
it's amazing. I'm like, what? There's
49:39
so much that goes into
49:41
a 20, 30 second clip
49:43
on here. Wow. At
49:46
it. It's your friend Colonel Slanders
49:48
again. We've done so many good things
49:50
here. What was the one when
49:52
he was my psychiatrist? Sinead O 'Connor,
49:54
who I couldn't help but picture in
49:56
the back of my mind as
49:58
the many that Nick DiPaolo saw in
50:01
my Rorschach test. That's right. See
50:06
you again in two months. I like to
50:08
bat monies a lot. That's fun because I get
50:10
to be, I get to be a little
50:12
wild. And Josh, killer. Killer.
50:15
We're to lose everything. We're going lose
50:17
our country. to lose it. I'm losing my
50:19
mind here. I just take a lot
50:21
of hits. I do take a lot of
50:23
hits. I do a lot of falls. I
50:26
think physical comedy is funny. Billy
50:28
the Magician is probably my favorite in recent
50:30
years. I love getting to watch
50:32
Josh get smashed over the head with a
50:34
bottle. And
50:36
that magician's sleazy laugh. And the best part
50:38
is we've got to order those bottles.
50:40
We have a lot of stuff we do
50:42
for each of those. So every time
50:44
we do that bid, it's about a $30
50:46
bid, at least. Oh, the other thing
50:48
is crowded with his impressions. I know we
50:50
did a few boys. Back in the day,
50:52
someone like Kamala Harris would say, I
50:54
did sesame seed bun and french fries. But
50:56
now you have Donald Trump going like,
50:58
Oh, she loves french fries. She can't get
51:00
enough of them. She
51:03
just does the machine. I guess french
51:05
fries, onion rings. Popeyes!
51:07
I can't believe how talented he
51:09
is, and I'm not just kissing his
51:11
ass, because it's way too hairy
51:13
and sweaty. I'm November 5th. Don't interrupt,
51:15
Macho Man. November 5th, the choice
51:17
is clear. You want to have the
51:20
Don or one of these crutches
51:22
right there. I
51:28
could just toss anything at Steven, and he will
51:30
just run with it with an impression. I'm
51:35
doing a Brando thing, and they
51:37
replaced me with Josh, who was doing
51:39
a way better brand. That was
51:41
the best one yet. I'm out
51:43
of here. You talking to me? Oh, and I
51:45
got to say this. The Nick Diff, press secretary.
51:47
He also was the first guy to go see
51:49
the midget. Nick has no
51:51
idea what he's getting himself into.
51:54
He just goes in there, they
51:56
roll clips, and he rips. And
51:58
that's amazing to watch. The view. I
52:01
love the view. It's like
52:03
a horse view. We literally just
52:05
find clips of people asking
52:07
questions and then let Nick answer.
52:09
And it's so funny. Don
52:12
Lemon have to walk around in a
52:14
gay nightclub and ask those chaps. Still have
52:16
a gun on this trip. He does
52:18
that one take. The 20 questions, 20 answers,
52:20
one take, and then he's out of
52:23
there. And I'm like, dude, what
52:25
a pro. I can't believe I get to do that. Yeah,
52:28
dead silence. Just what
52:30
I thought. There's not another place
52:32
in the industry where you could just
52:34
change your role or say, hey,
52:36
I want to try mixing the show
52:39
today, or I went over an
52:41
audio, or you get to contribute, you
52:43
get to be on cam. I
52:48
never imagined writing before a show. It
52:50
was never really the goal for me to be a writer. It's
52:59
a dream I didn't know I
53:01
had come true. Three, two, and... There
53:04
are a lot of times, especially
53:06
when it comes to advertisements, that we're
53:08
finding we're shooting for a new
53:10
sponsor or something the day before it's
53:12
going to run. So we'll shoot
53:14
it early in the afternoon and we'll
53:16
end up turning a spot for
53:18
the next morning. Don't
53:24
let the IRS take advantage of you. When
53:26
it comes to the sketches of
53:29
the show, I don't think people understand...
53:31
how much work goes into producing
53:33
it. I've learned a
53:35
whole lot about what goes on behind the
53:37
scenes over the last, really call it
53:39
three, three and a half years. Look
53:42
at that, look, get it. There's
53:44
definitely... Yes, we can sell that. The lighting,
53:46
the boom, the costumes, the makeup, you
53:48
name it. And it's one of those things
53:50
where you watch everybody sort of do
53:52
their part and when everyone does it right,
53:54
it comes together and it's an awesome
53:56
thing. Everything
53:59
from the keying, the
54:01
compositing, the sound design.
54:03
Stream! Stream! Stream! Stream!
54:05
These are things that typically teams of
54:07
people would take months and months to achieve,
54:09
and we do it in record time
54:11
with a skeleton crew, and it's because they're
54:13
all rock stars. Make way for the
54:16
emperor. Make it cut.
54:18
We're trying to do all of it.
54:20
We're trying to be factually accurate. We're trying
54:22
to be funny. And then you're trying
54:24
to make sure that you're presenting information that
54:26
people can use. And to do all
54:28
of those things and on top of that,
54:30
record a bunch of sketches. Absolutely
54:32
round it. I don't want any foot fetish
54:34
people getting my feet. It's just everybody's so
54:36
different, but it makes it so well. It's
54:39
a lot of fun. And, you know, we
54:41
get to tease Gerald all the time. The
54:43
Trojan Man. And what a thick skin that
54:45
guy's got. You know what? It's a great
54:47
room. First of all, Stephen can slip into
54:49
any character at will, no matter what we're
54:51
talking about. I kind of... It's sort of...
54:53
Touch and go with the Jews right now.
54:55
And Gerald is smart as hell. There's always
54:57
going to be an adult in the room.
55:00
Save the Jews! I can't
55:02
figure him out. I take pride in
55:04
being able to read people. I've known
55:06
him for, what, a couple years now?
55:08
I have no idea. He'll get mad
55:10
at me if I make a joke.
55:12
He'll go, oh, like it's shocking. And
55:14
then he'll hit a Holocaust joke in
55:16
there. I can't figure him out. Josh
55:18
is a stand -up. Josh is naturally funny,
55:20
and he can do characters. And action.
55:23
Hey, I'm Colonel Slam. And the guys
55:25
that work, I don't want to forget
55:27
about the guys that work the soundboard
55:29
and all that other shit. Shasha, still
55:31
not nearly as gay, but also gay.
55:33
Options are limited. Noodles just
55:35
jumped in there. I was in a rhythm. Sorry. They
55:40
were all like guys, guys. And
55:43
I think it makes for a good mix. Like someone
55:45
on an island who hasn't eaten in a while and
55:47
your friend turns into a hot dog? Guys,
55:52
do you have a white mic, please? Comedy's
55:56
probably one of the most important
55:58
things that the world is desperately
56:00
in need of right now. Okay,
56:03
it's for the greater good. For
56:07
me, the best part of working here is the challenge. you
56:10
know, doing all that we do in the
56:12
time that we have it. I get to solve
56:14
problems all day. Jesse, I think I know
56:16
why the stuff keeps changing. I get to do
56:18
it with people that I adore. More
56:21
like a family here,
56:23
which sounds so f***ing cheesy.
56:27
It's the worst thing to say, but
56:29
yeah, I live with these people.
56:31
They're my friends. I think
56:33
that secretly people... People do
56:35
like me, although I am
56:37
the only person on staff
56:40
that Joe Lewis has bitten
56:42
repeatedly. I didn't even pet
56:44
her look in Joe Lewis's direction and
56:46
this happened. Go away. Scaredy.
56:49
When I'm on stage, I love it. Doesn't
56:51
matter where, whatever. This is just nothing but
56:53
fun. It's great. Doing something I love, doing
56:55
something that matters. Well, now she's grossing you
56:57
out. Let my kids see something that they
56:59
can do someday. Something that's actually realistic. Like,
57:01
I never had that growing up. I never
57:03
thought it was realistic to be. An entertainer
57:05
for a living? mean, I don't know. That
57:07
was crazy. I think that's important to see.
57:10
See your parents work hard and get
57:12
what they want, rather than what
57:14
I saw in my father, which was
57:16
work hard and get what you
57:18
get. I don't think many people get
57:20
that sort of opportunity. I can't
57:23
be! I mean, you look at people
57:25
that hate their jobs, and they
57:27
go out there and they're just making
57:29
ends to me. I'm just blessed
57:31
and lucky to be doing what I'm
57:33
doing. I love you! Cut.
57:40
Oh, what's to do right now? We're going?
57:44
Then we're going to hang out
57:47
in the Sesame Street set. Can
57:50
I ask you a personal question? Wow.
57:54
Can you hear that, Billy? George
57:56
is a Greek. I hate
57:58
that nickname, by the way. you
58:00
have anything you've written that
58:02
even you think is too much,
58:04
too dark for this show?
58:06
No, no, no. I haven't even
58:09
touched the tip of the
58:11
iceberg. I'm all for pushing boundaries.
58:13
I mean, I wrote a
58:15
sketch about six months back when
58:17
my grandmother was shredded. So,
58:20
I mean, it didn't air. Can
58:24
you do this? Can you interview me in
58:26
front of Oscar the Grouch's house? That'd be fantastic.
58:29
All right, seven and a half, bitch. What?
58:32
If I actually showed my daughter those sketches,
58:34
she's 10. Now she wants me to do a
58:36
sketch with her where she gets to hit
58:38
me with a glass bottle, so I'm not going
58:40
to do that, though. Because
58:42
I could kick her ass, dude. She's
58:44
like this high. We get
58:46
the f***ing f*** to the f***ing f***.
58:49
Can I say that? I think
58:51
I did. I mean, I rack at
58:53
least, probably, on a slow day,
58:55
a dozen inch -art violations. Which one?
58:57
F***ing butt! Yeah,
58:59
nice clutch! Let's f***! Trump loses day
59:01
one. What you think that looks like?
59:04
Looks like me going to the gun store. He's
59:09
a f***ing b***h
59:11
on wheels. Nick,
59:13
how long have
59:15
you not had
59:17
the use of
59:19
your plate? Told
59:23
me you weren't going to
59:25
ask about that. You
59:29
good? All right, kids. Anything else
59:32
you want to add? I do. I'd like not
59:34
to do the show anymore. Gerald's
59:36
really bugging me. I
59:39
hope it lasts. That's all. I need
59:41
the cash. Bang.
59:44
It's just not. So we are, of
59:46
course, going to see you. I don't
59:48
know what we are doing tomorrow, but
59:50
you know why? You know what? I'll
59:53
say this. Joe, we do have a name
59:55
for you when you're not around. No, don't tell
59:57
him. No? All right.
59:59
Would Would you believe it If he's
1:00:01
not around we call him old red
1:00:03
Billy. See tomorrow Change
1:00:30
animal That's what
1:00:32
I know You're
1:00:36
the first change animal
1:00:38
I got to follow I'm
1:00:41
