This is Jack Posobiec coming to you from a little bit of an undisclosed location, but I am here in Washington, D.C., where Kash Patel was just named and confirmed as your next FBI director at CPAC Week. There's a lot going on.
Charlie Kirk will be joining us in a little bit, but welcome once again to Thought Crime Thursday. I believe we have Blake Neff on the line as well.
What's up, Blake? Howdy, Jack. Are you in some kind of laundry room there? Blake, this is a very official studious office right now that I'm borrowing from.
And because let's just say let's just say there are shenanigans afoot this evening. And we believe we also have the great Andrew Colette joining us.
That's right. I am.
And by the way, if Washington, D.C. is good at anything, it's laundry.
Oh, there you go. Much better.
Much better than the Ukrainian oligarchs i was hanging out with last week no i was not sent to the front lines by the way like blake neff would would have us told no no i was not shanghaied by zelinski and the uh the deployment enlistment squad hold on jack let me set the stage here properly for jack here so all of a sudden my my google alerts start going bing bing bing bing bing and i'm like what the heck is going on and jack is traveling europe with pete hegseth but wait there's more and then scott besant uh you know so our very own jack posobik was an international traveling political superstar last week.

Jack, tell us what it was like traveling with two of the all-star secretaries of the Trump administration. Well, I got to say, you know, being invited by Secretary Hegseth and Secretary Besant with these European trips, with this really being this massive Trump delegation, a peace delegation, by the way, to Europe, one to NATO, and then another, which started out as a secret trip, which was then announced by President Trump as we were on the way to Kiev, Ukraine, with Secretary Besant with this mineral deal that everyone's talked about.

And then, of course, J.D. Vance in Munich on the heels of that.
Look, I'll say it like this. It's a huge honor, but it's also a huge responsibility.
President Trump's White House has embraced what I believe is called radical transparency. And this radical transparency includes, by the way, not just bringing in new media and independent media like yours truly, a co-host here on Thought Prime, Human Defense Daily, but it's also all the people that follow us on social media, all the people that come to us, and really just the ability to put everyone on social media, on X, on podcasts, in the driver's seat, having a front row seat to actual world history.
We're not giving you the sanitized, editorialized tapes that you're used to getting from mainstream media. The Trump administration actually is committed to radical transparency.

And of course, as you say, they were losing their minds that I would be invited on these trips.

And I said, what, look, what are you afraid of me showing?

What actually happens behind closed doors?

Because that's exactly what we did.

I took people directly into the meetings.

I showed people what it was like.

We put up a whole special episode. We called it the Night Train to Kiev that people can go see at Human Events Daily, on podcasts, wherever.
And we can actually show you what it's like traveling to Kiev in wartime, being there with the secretary, having these discussions. And then, of course, the world leaders losing their minds that President Trump would conduct himself with this direct diplomacy in ways that we haven't seen really since the 19th century in many ways.
But again, just an absolute honor and a big responsibility, of course, to go there and also tell the story in an accurate way and give all of our viewers the ability to be there as well. So Jack, what did it feel like in Ukraine? Like, is it like, does it feel like business as usual? Does it feel like a war torn country? I'm actually really curious about this because I think that the press coverage of Ukraine, the conflict with Russia, the war with Russia has been pretty abysmal.
Like I don't see a lot of on the ground, like vibe checks. I don't see a lot of the reporting you would actually see normally or you'd expect to see.
And I think there's probably some really obvious reasons why we can get into that. But like, what did it actually feel like? I'm just me just like an organic question.
I'm super curious. So, I mean, you know, we're in Kiev, so we're in the capital.
Look, Ukraine's a massive country. So Kiev, of course, way is away from the far line far uh front line so pretty out several hours away but actually as we were there at the same time as an understanding of the seriousness of the war there was actually a missile strike that hit kiev the very morning that we arrived in the city and it struck some it was one of those ones that kind of got deflected and so the shrapnel and different pieces of the missiles that were coming down, I don't know what the intended target was, but they hit some residential areas.
And in fact, we visited a hospital that had been hit back last summer. So this is a real war.
This is something where people have been normal, because it's been normalized, right? It's been three years now, in a sense. But people are used to now living on a regular basis with air raid sirens, with missile strikes coming down, with having to see the first responders and fire trucks and ambulances racing all hours of the night to respond to one of these things to hopefully get people out if there are civilians that are wrapped up in any of this, which, of course, does unfortunately happen.
And I'll give you an example. And by the way, for the average person, it seemed like the air raid sirens go off, and they're nonplussed by it because they're almost used to it after three years.
But, Andrew, we go to the Hilton in Kiev, so the Hilton downtown Kiev, and we're only there for an hour. They say, get off the train, go shower, shave, get your suit on because, you know, to the prime minister and then the ministry of finance, and then finally president.
And so we go in and as we're, you know, just sort of doing the registration and checking in, there's a little, little piece of paper there. And, you know, usually they would say like, oh, this is what time breakfast is served or whatever.
And they had a very nice breakfast, actually, continental breakfast. And then there was also a little map on it that said, oh, in case of air raids, our closest bunker is right across the street.
So just located there. So when the air raid siren goes off, don't worry.
Just file down here. You'll see everyone.
We'll go across the street. We'll hide out in the bunker there until it's over.
And they were just kind of walking through this as if it was part of the normal check process. Like, yeah, the gym's open this time to this time.
The breakfast is this time to this time. And this is where the air raid bunker is across the street if you should use it during your stay.
So it's kind of surreal in the sense where there's almost like an eerie normalcy to it over there. But as a guy who doesn't live there, it's like, wait, what do you mean the air rate? You know, obviously it's very jarring as well.
I mean, that's kind of reminds me of like my experiences in Israel, by the way, where it was just like, you know, people kind of with this imminent threat of, you know, missiles landing somewhere near them and rockets flying over their heads. So So yeah, you sort of, I think the human experience is that you kind of normalize these things and you learn to live with them.
But it's a very tragic thing. And I think that on this note, Jack, that some of our audience could misconstrue our sort of like anti-continuing the war stance, you know, as being anti-Ukraine.
It's not what it is.

Like we're very pro-Ukrainian people. It's a tragedy that all these people have died.
A whole generation of Ukrainians have died in this conflict. But that doesn't change the point that this war never should have happened.
It was unwinnable. I mean, Blake, you could probably summarized better than any of us.

But the, you know, J.D. Vance had this five-point breakdown of why the tone out of this administration is – it could feel anti-U.
But it's not. There was a line that – I said this to – I forget if it was Politico or one of the interviews that I gave recently.
And they said, well, who do you think is winning the war? Who do you want to win the war? And they

want you to put you in this box where you say Ukraine versus Russia, Ukraine versus Russia,

Ukraine versus Russia. And I'm like, look, look, first of all, as an American, I want America to

win. But as a human being, I said, look, I want the people to win and I want the oligarchs to

lose on both sides, on any side. That's what they don't understand about populist nationalists.
Populist nationalists want people in any country to be free from war, to be free from being maimed and killed and blown up and destroyed. This is the second time, the second visit that I've made there during the war started three years ago.
First time was in may of 2022 just a couple of weeks after it began a couple months i guess but they they don't want to hear that perspective because they want to have this sort of like marvel movie version of reality where it's you know it's good guys and bad guys good versus evil and you know play up to those that like 14 year old version of events as if you are a 14 year old. I mean, as opposed to looking at the reality on the ground and saying, look, you know, this stuff is academic for us as Americans.
You know, we get to root for our favorite team. Like, you know, you're watching the Super Bowl or something or, you know, USA Canada is going to be tonight.
And of course, we're rooting for the team. But in a hockey game or a football game, you know, there aren't people blown to bits and coming home in body bags.
So, no, it's not like rooting on a sports team at all. It's the real war and total war is the realest thing that can possibly happen in a society.
And it's something where it should be avoided at all costs, if at all possible. And that's obviously President Trump and J.D.
Vance were elected to do, and that's what they're doing. Yeah, I mean, I just remember, like, Trump's town hall with Caitlin Collins was like one of the first big events of the last campaign.
And she pressed him on the Ukrainian conflict and said, and he said, I just want the killing to stop. I just want the killing to stop.
And at the end of the day, that is the most important thing. And we can debate about how much territory they need to cede, whether this was winnable at all.
We can debate Biden's strategy, a ton of different things. But the bottom line is we want the killing to stop.
Ukrainians are good people. We want the killing to stop.
Yeah, it's good people. And this is a cousin war.
By the way, two Christian nations, right? To the

Christians out there, do you really want to see another war where Christians are getting blown up,

where Christians are being killed? And at the end of the day, people want to sit there and

say what they want about NATO. They use this phrase in the military all the time.
And they say,

look, you've got your plans, you've got your operational, they call it a concept of

Thank you. sit there and say what they want about Nate.
It's, it's, they tell it, they use this phrase in the military all the time. And they say, look, you know, you've got your plans, you've got your operational, you've got, they call it a concept of operations.
So you have your concept of operations, but a good operational planner will always remember that guess what? The enemy gets a vote. The enemy gets a vote.
And in the real world, you can't just do whatever you want. And if you're like, if you, if you're at the park and you, you see a bear that that's sleeping you go up and start poking him and the bear attacks you you can't turn around and say oh well i didn't i didn't attack the bear it's look it's a real world it's just a real world and unfortunately we can't change reality so the best we can do is manage our perceptions of reality manage our expectations of reality and live in the world as it is that we're given.
Well said. Blake, any thoughts? Do you want to read that comment? Nothing about that.
No. So we are live tonight.
We're still waiting. That's why we're waiting on Charlie here.
We have Ben Lovejoy donated $5. Thank you, Ben.
And he said, I'm just here to say, I love America. God bless every one of you.

And I'm so proud to watch Rumble grow. We're proud to watch Rumble grow.
And we also love America, which is why we're very excited tonight. Because I guess if you're listening to this when you download it over the weekend, this will be old news by now.
But as we're recording this, they are are doing the usa canada hockey rematch in boston uh as of this moment america's trailing so hopefully that situation changes later on tonight uh but we have a pretty good clip where uh that we have uh do we have that clip ready to go president trump called into the team uh before the game started yeah. Well, I'll talk to the guys if they're around.

Yeah, they are.

I'm going to walk into the locker room right now,

and you can speak to the guys firsthand.

Mr. President, can you hear me?

I can.

You guys are really talented.

I have great respect for hockey players.

I'm a hockey man.

I love hockey.

The talent, the skill that you have is crazy.

And just go out and have a good time tonight.

And I just want to wish you a lot of luck.

You really are a skilled group of people.

It's an honor to talk to you.

And get out there and there's no pressure on September.

I can tell you honestly, every person in here, players, staff, management, coaches,

we are all proud Americans and we want to represent our country the best way we can and do our best to bring in a win tonight. Thank you again on behalf of everybody.
You just go out and have a good time. You're going to win and we love America.
We love you guys. We'll be watching tonight.
Bring it home. Thank you.
And then bring it home. Right after that, they went out and then they played the national anthem and two things one i'm told the performance of the canadian national anthem was very bad uh i but i didn't hear it we were here uh but i'm told the performance was quite i don't know it was tragic apparently and then we're we're having a debate about this but uh i think we have this clip ready to go the crowd did they did boo the canadian anthem possibly both for its quality and for you know we have some blood between us we don't like booing anthems we like to be polite but i think we can agree they did boo ours first right now we're about eight minutes into the game we are down one nothing but we started down one nothing in the last one it's hockey you are generally able to score more than once in hockey unlike soccer for example so we'll we'll work on getting that while we wait we've got the clip coming we've got we've got another clip uh gen yeah yeah gen central 1776 also donated five dollars thank you gen get on those campuses guys keep hitting them back everyone watching the u.s hockey team kick some booty usa thank you jen we are very what i want to know i want to know do we have any do now because i can i can look this up i'm i'm like on on the espn or whatever and i can see the score and i can see the box score a little bit but what about the fights i've gotten out have there been yet? Because last time we got like three fights, the Kachuk brothers were just bashing them like the old Bash brothers in the Flyers days.
But I want to know how many fights there are. And I don't see any, I don't see that in the play-by-play here.
There's no fights so far as far as I can tell, but I have to imagine we'll eventually, we'll eventually get a nice good throw nice good throwdown or no no it looks like there was a fight about 30 seconds in there was it was like a shoving it wasn't the full down like drop the gloves it was more just like like one of those foot like in football when like the guys get in their face and the ref comes in and separates them so I'm sure it'll overheat I'm sure it'll boil over eventually and we'll get nice good, you know, as the joke goes, I went to a fight last night and a hockey game broke out. I'm sure we'll get positive developments on that front.

That is 1-800-4-RELIEF, 1-800-4-RELIEF. One thing I've always liked about hockey is that hockey is one of the only games we're fighting is like it's like a part of the game there's rules about it there's there's certain penalty time allotted to it to it other you know like football it's okay you get a you know you get a personal foul or something but it isn't something that's that's like institutionalized in the game and normalized in the game the way it is in hockey.
And so when that, when that game, I guess it was last week when that match took place, I, the morning after I would just sat my, sat both of my sons down. I had just gotten home from Ukraine too, when the game was on.
And I was just, you need to watch this kids. You need to watch, you know, the United States of America just kicking the crap out of some catnocks because honestly, they really deserve it for booing the national anthem.
But in general, there's this energy, this vibe that's going on with America now that's set obviously by President Trump that, look, we're back. We're here to stay.
We're not going anywhere. And when it gets in our face, like, you're...
you're well okay but on that note the canadians you'll see this on like you know some of the canadian twitter accounts they'll say you guys started it by calling us the 51st state and by saying that you know trudeau should be governor trudeau so what do you say to that blake uh i mean did we start it i think this is mostly in good fun uh i don't well maybe maybe not for trump trump trump seems pretty sincere about his efforts to acquire canada but i think most of us probably don't care to acquire canada it has it's a country with a lot of problems it's it's uh you know i i i'm okay with canada remaining like a rogue our rogue province to the north i would take alberta no they trick you with this they trick you with this where they say alberta is canada's texas but the the canada's doing a lot more work there than the texas is in that term uh canada canada's national identity is being more lib than america i don't think you want to add the 40 million more lib than america canadians their their national sport is basically committing assisted suicide it's it's it's a strange country man and uh but canada we can still beat them in hockey if you're listening to canada you're one of the good ones and we love you for sure for sure green greenland i'm all in for i'm all in for greenland that one panama makes sense it doesn't have the baggage well panama is ours by right so panama is ours and that shouldn't even be a question that shouldn't even be a discussion that's actually ours there was a historical uh there was a historical, a historical mistake that obviously needs to be corrected. We're just going to go and hit undo on that one, just like we're hitting undo nationally when it comes to the Biden administration, the Obama administration, and the Carter administration as well.
Blake, of course, and I have spoken in the past about how we should do that as well with a number of pieces of the 1960s while we're at the cultural revolution that took place here in the United States. But when it comes to the Panama Canal, it's a joke.
It's ours by right. It's ours by right of the fact that we built it, that we bled for it, that red, white, and blue created it, and it would not exist otherwise.
When it comes to Greenland, by the way, and I made this comment here on the program a couple of weeks ago, I'll say it again. The United States has provided the defensive shield for Greenland since World War II.
And yes, that does grant us certain rights to it, whether you like it or not. Look, sovereignty is a key point of sovereignty.
And Blake, I love your thoughts on this. A key point of sovereignty, as J.D.
Vance pointed out vis-a-vis NATO, is being able to defend yourselves. If you are not able to defend your own nation, then are you really a fully sovereign nation? Probably not.
That's obviously, and so when all of Europe is saying, oh, we're going to have this army of Europe and we're going to control ourselves and we're going to defend ourselves. Okay.
Yeah, go for it. Go for it.
But the reason you have the welfare state that you do in Europe is because the United States provides for your defense. So that's why they all have the free universities and the free healthcare and all the rest of the stuff, because they don't have to pay for defense.
But then on the flip side of that, what did they do? They completely destroyed their birth rates. And so they started importing all these migrants from the third world.
So you've got no defense. You've got institutions that are completely collapsing.
And you've got this huge third world influx, which J.D. Vance rightly pointed out is the largest threat to Europe.
It's so simple. But, Blake, I'd love to hear your thoughts on that sovereignty point right there right there yeah well it's funny because canada used to have a pretty effective military it was uh within the realm of that they actually had a very large military in world war ii uh they were a full contributor in that one and they kept the anzac yeah and they stuck around i don't think they were an anzac that was australians but uh but they had their own very good military and then even into recent history their reputation was you know it was small but it was effective it was competent they would join us on a lot of our uh conflicts abroad but it's one of those you know many different things where they've just they've certainly followed many of the same patterns we've had where you can watch the videos and you have some like fat person who can't run a mile is in the canadian military and it's a very welcoming place if you want to affirm your 18 different gender identities within a uh within government employment and it's just everything about canada is it's sort of sad because canada was a real country with a real identity and you can look this up they expressly had their elites said we're going to make canada the first post national country and we're just going to import as many people as possible from all around the world and the idea was canada will be a superpower if we can make us have a hundred million people by just bring the entire world here go all out and instead it's just it's horribly messed them up you can actually go look at the charts we used to be about equal in our incomes and now america's way richer than canada canada has all the problems america has where no one can afford a home no one can like create a family no one like like their health is going downhill except in america we at least still we still make a good amount of money in canada they don't even have that you can go to toronto a house costs as much as as San Francisco except uh you know you get paid like you just live in you know Kansas City and plus it's like awful weather it's cold I don't mind cold weather you're the one who has to like live in exile in Santa Barbara uh and Drupal I I like the Midwestern global South Dakota which is approximately similar.
Yeah, it's great. But like in general, Canada does not have great weather.

I will say like in British Columbia, you'll actually get some great weather. Surprisingly, it's pretty rainy, but it's a pretty temperate climate in British, British Columbia and gorgeous.
By the way, man, talk about a beautiful cities. Vancouver, Canada is a legitimately gorgeous city.
But it looks like, I mean, you know, Canada is projected. This is like the statcan.gc.ca number of proportion of foreign-born population in Canada.
On their own website, they have it projected at over 25% 2036. This is their own website.
This is a dramatic, dramatic graph. I'm going to try and pull this up for you guys.
But it's like, I mean, they're like pumped about this, you know, that they're losing, to Blake's point, a national identity. And it's just because they're flooding the zone so quickly and they, they have no problem with it.
Yeah. At this point, Canada's national identity is just being like anti-America.
That's, that's basically their whole, you know, their whole, uh, raison d'etre that we're anti-America and America is a big and loud. And, and Pierre Polivet or however you say his name, Pierre Pol the apple eating guy um who I've I've always like I've always said from that very minute that he put that video out that it's just it's just very rude and kind of disgusting to eat on camera like that while you're talking to someone that you know attacking so he decided in this moment to attack President Trump rather than side with President Trump against Trudeau, which is just, to me, it seems like the most politically brain-dead thing you could do at a moment like this.
So you're going to side with the European leaders. You're going to side with all of people that are like Adam Schiff and Hakeem Jeffries and Nancy Pelosi and all the rest and attack Trump as and try to call yourself Canada first by attacking Trump rather than saying, yes, President Trump is right about the current government.
We do need to do better in Canada. And Trudeau's been in power for how long there? It would be such an obvious political move to rally the people like those great freedom truckers that we saw in the in the freedom convoy a couple of years ago but no he decided to say and if you remember by the way

i've seen this uh i've seen this out a couple of places where trudeau is actually coming out and

saying that he's taking the opposite track he's saying that we need we do need to embrace america

america is our partner we do need to work together so i don't know it might be it might

just be that trudeau is a better politician than that old pierre the apple eater

Thank you. to embrace America.
America is our partner. We do need to work together.
So I don't know, it might just be that Trudeau is a better politician than old Pierre, the apple eater. That's the graph, by the way, if you could put that back up in the middle of us.
That's the graph. I mean, I cannot imagine living.
I mean, what is America at right now? 14% foreign born or something like that, Blake, which is already, you know,

maxing the population and stressing the culture. I mean, which is one of the reasons President Trump got elected, but living in a country, I mean, this is, this is on their website, like from their national, like statistical, whatever that is, StatCan, you know, Statistics canada um this is i mean to live in a country bordering on 30% by 2036

of foreign-born population in Canada,

that's extraordinary.

And the amount of social upheaval

that you would experience in a country

with nearly 30% foreign-born

is pretty unthinkable, actually.

And I don't think Canada yet fully appreciates that unless they're all ready to subdue themselves and submit themselves to foreign invaders that will then have power over them, because that's what's going to happen. They will not have the will, the national identity, or the internal strength, constitution, to overcome these foreigners that are going to tell them how to live and how to vote and how to run their country.
So Canada is a lost project. And I think what, Blake, you might know this better than, but they've, essentially Trudeau has said he's going to step down, but he's going to serve until something happens essentially so what it was kind of a everybody celebrated it but it was kind of like once you actually think about it he was he's basically able to survive as a lame duck andrew here actually it's time to pill people on canada this is an important thing to know about canada because canada is a fake democracy to an actual ludicrous degree, and they don't get called out on this nonsense.
So it's not about – Trudeau said he's just going to step down until his party picks a new leader. He's the head of the Liberal Party.
They would need a new leader who will be the prime minister. That guy will go into the next election.
But here's what's bullcrap about it. In Canada, the parties are vastly more centralized than they are in the U.S.
In the U.S., you can have you have the Republicans and Democrats. There's only two parties.
But, you know, a random real estate guy can just roll in and hijack the GOP and say, oh, it's my shindig now. And, you know, he can just take the party's presidential nomination.
And then there can be other Republicans who don't like it. And they oppose him in the Senate, in the House, in running for governor, all of that.
It's a big tent party. In Canada, it's super centralized.
The Liberal Party picks who their leader is. And then there is no dissent.
Everyone in the Canadian Parliament who's in the Liberal Party has to vote the way Justin Trudeau tells them to or he kicks them out. Period.
And who actually picks the leader? Just anyone who's a member of the Liberal Party. How many people is that? I'd have to check the exact number, but I think it might literally be under 100,000 people in Canada.
It is not a lot of people who are official members of parties. So you basically have who decides who are the candidates for prime minister in Canada.
It's literally like a few tens of thousands of people who bother to vote in the party leadership races. And then that guy decides the agenda for the entire party.
And on top of that, Canada has all this other ridiculous fake stuff like everything about Quebec. So to have any high level job in Canadian politics, in their government, if you want to be on the Canadian Supreme Court, if you want to hold XYZ jobs in the Canadian government, you have to be bilingual in English and in French.
How many people in Canada are bilingual in English and French? The answer is almost none of them, because if you don't live in this tiny corridor between

Toronto and Montreal, like the Ottawa-Montreal corridor, none of you are going to be becoming

bilingual.

There is no reason to know French if you live in British Columbia.

There is no reason to know French if you live in Nova Scotia.

There is no reason to know French if you live in Winnipeg.

So unless you go out of your way to learn French, a language that no one has any reason to learn except to go into politics, you basically can't go into politics in Canada. Canada is a fake, fake, fake, fake, fake democracy.
And they need to be called out for this. Now imagine you're an immigrant to Canada, which like 35% of the population is going to be soon.
Then if you want to make it in Canadian politics, you have to know your native language and you have to learn english and you have to learn french and on top of that they have all this bizarre affirmative action so that quebec won't secede quebec is only i think 20 of the population of canada maybe 25 but they get a third of the supreme court they get all of these like slots have to be assigned to them out of proportion to their population can Canada is like a travesty and more people need to be aware of this. And the only excuse to not be aware of it is that it's okay to not know things about Canada.
You're absolutely right. That was a good rant, by the way.
Good for you. Yeah.
Do you feel better now? Because I feel because i i know i don't feel better i had to just think about canada for the last three and a half minutes it's not okay canada yeah what did canada do to you blake they they were too close to my state growing up and i learned too much well i can't disagree with anything you said I think it's all super fake. Trudeau has an approval rating, like, basically less than, you know, I don't know, you know, spam.
Actually, I like spam way more than Trudeau. Spam is great.
Don't make that insulting comparison. Spam is good.
It's probably not going to make it through Maha. But, like, listen, here's the thing.
Trude trudeau needs to go he kind of knows this but he found a little wiggle room until the party selects a new leader but then they they're still not going to have elections for like another year i don't understand why they don't just call snap election they should but the liberals know they'll lose power i miss 80s canada remember 80s canada it was so good remember strange brew with like bob and doug mckenzie and you know the canadian tuxedo and everybody everybody dresses in denim and like drinking hockey or like drinking hockey the tree drinking beer playing hockey a canadian bacon right where where's the canadian bacon canada that was the canada that i thought the movie by the way, which I believe was written by Michael Moore, funny enough. We're not going to respect Canadian bacon because Michael Moore killed John Candy, and I'm not going to forgive him for that one.
He did do that. He did, unfortunately, do that.
In the movie or in real life? Yes. Well, I mean, the movie – it was his last movie, and it stressed him out and then he died and it was atrocious i i um i still have this like vague childhood memory of seeing john candy's death in the paper i can't i can't tell you what year it is but oh wait hold on let me think it was probably what like 90 92 or 93 i think so let's see John yeah early 94 March 4th 94 so we're approaching I was close yeah the 31st anniversary of it but that's crazy right and then Chris Farley yeah with like right around the same.
I always think about those two in tandem, like two overweight, really beloved comedians, probably both had drug problems, although I don't know in John Candy's case. But, you know, at least they were overweight.
His wife murdered him like right around like a year later. It's a wild story.
It's a wild story. Yeah, so just...
They had a very troubled relationship. Yeah, I'd heard that as well, but, you know, he was trying to work with her and stuff, but you just, you have this really weird, you know, kind of people look back on the 90s with nostalgia, but there were some really tragic stories that came out of the 90s.
O.J. Simpson.
That's why O.J. Simpson came up at that time, but, you know, it totally didn't do it, though.
Of course, of course O.J. didn't do it.
We all know that. Isn't it weird? O.J.'s dead? Yeah, girl.
Isn't it weird that O.J. is dead? Like, I realized this the other day.
I was like, oh, yeah, I remember. He died.
But, like, it didn't seem to, like, crystallize. But he's dead.
We're talking about dead stars somehow somehow canada led to dead stars but nevertheless i just kept thinking about because uh the saturday night live 50th was recently and saturday night live used to be such a political force and not even political but cultural force saturday live was a massive cultural force in america for decades probably up until about the the 2000s and certainly just died off in the obama era but because they weren't they were basically they were told you're not allowed to make fun of obama and from that point on it just became utterly ridiculous and a shell of itself and but they used to have so much great content and so many good actors and just incredible talent people who came from that um you know came from that uh that era were incredible and instead you know you you would see like these replays of it i guess i've seen a few clips of snl uh 50th anniversary but just it's just like it just reminds of like, oh yeah, that's a show that used to be good, but now it's not.

Jack, we have Charlie here. We have Charlie.
Breaking news. I've been here for a while.
I have been listening intently. How are you guys doing? We're doing great.
We're going DEFCON 3 on the nation of Canada right now. Did you miss his rant, Charlie? It was pretty good, I have to say.
I did miss that. He eviscerated them.
Canada's fake, Charlie. I'll have to go back and listen to it it's yeah it was pretty good give me the highlights i i i want to hear the i want to i want to hear the the summary i mean the highlights i'll have to have to go study it more because i could bet i could make it twice as long if i refreshed myself instead of going off the cuff but canada is like super fake as you know as a democracy which they would of course hold themselves up as because they're better than America in every way.
So in Canada, first of all, to have any high office in Canada, you need to be bilingual in English and French, which nobody is. I think under 5% of the population is actually fluent in English and French.
And you totally need to go out of your way to learn it, which almost no one does. So if you don't fit into this literal elite globalist class that grows up right around Ottawa and is raised bilingual from birth, you basically just can't be a top Canadian bureaucrat.
Second, in Canada, their political parties are so powerful that basically if you run the party, you're just the absolute dictator of the party. You can bar anyone from running under the party's name and you're just the total boss until they finally overthrow you so it's not like in america like you could never have donald trump happen in canada because the republican party could have just had whoever the boss was mish mcconnell or something say oh no donald trump is not he's not a republican candidate not allowed and but in canada uh that that's how it works and their party leaders are picked by like a few thousand people almost no one's a member of a party they vote on their leader and that's how they pick it it's a big it's a big old fake and that's why that's why canada needs to be rendered free by america although sadly they are remaining they're still up one nothing in this hockey game it's it's a big tragedy i keep no it's one one no no did we score big news yes it's one one usa is on the board baby brady kachuk literally like i think as you said that it just happened literally it literally just did that's amazing speak of the devil br Brady.
How do you say that? Tackachuck? Tackachuck. Kachuck? Oh, boy.
Kachuck, like his dad. Well, I'll tolerate that name because he just did a great deed for America.
Kachuck brothers and their dad was Keith Kachuck. Right.
And they were the ones that got into the fights, right, Jack? Oh, yeah. They're the Bash brothers.
I love it. Hey, so I do want to do something really quick here.
There's a story that we had on the list here, and we're going to keep on this game. We do have Daisy in the chair.
Yes, Blake? No, she actually just stepped out when Charlie came. Oh, my goodness.
Sorry, you guys. Oh, now she's back.
Yeah, Blake. Daisy's back.
Are we allowed to have her? I think it's okay, but all right. Charlie, Charlie, we have a man bun story that we really need to get to.
Blake can set it up. I have to set it up.
I figured we needed a film voice. You're the one who cares about this story.
You have to set this one up, Andrew. I have to recover from my Canada race.
It's very easy. It's the death of man bun feminism.
And there was a big piece in the Free Press, which is, of course, run by Barry Weiss, about this guy that set himself up as the embodiment of man bun feminism. He was a male feminist, and he had a a big man bun and now he is getting accused of sexual assault by a bunch of women and the irony of that is pretty profound i would think uh there he is and you know blake you usually set the uh you usually set the scene here so you're gonna have to give give me one second.
But the irony is just too rich not to talk about it. So here we go.
Well, that's why we have our backup here with Daisy because she's like our robot who actually understands this. What's this about again? Why do we hate this guy again? again or do we like this guy i don't know because this guy's lawyer is brian brian friedman who he just went on megan kelly he has been talking to candace owens he represented sage steel in her case and he represented chris harrison in both of their cases against disney and espn and all that so a lot of conservatives are like siding with him saying it's another me too situation i if you read both lawsuits they both come across as really crazy and then there's this whole which blake you're the one that actually showed me this in deadpool with um Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively's husband, Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni's lawsuits against.
They recreated Justin Baldoni. And it's a guy that has a feminism podcast and has a man bun to say that he's talking about women's issues.
It is definitely a look now that I think about it where like you can visualize the male feminist. And I think there's kind of – there's two types.
You'd have, like, the dweeby, pasty male feminist who would, like, be kind of a – I feel like it would be kind of a younger Bill Gates-looking guy. And he would have a T-shirt that would say, like, this is what a feminist looks like.
And he would, like, talk a lot about being – and he's like, I am a strong male, you know, female ally. And they'll be creepy.
And and then we have the man bun feminist thing and this would be like a little dreamier a little more i don't i don't know i'm not i'm not gay so i can't but they're kind of considered hotter right and then not to me not to you well why do we even have you here then we need your so charlie charlie i gotta get get Charlie's basic guttural take on the man bun.

What do you do on campus when you see someone with a man bun come up to the mic and ask you a question?

What's going through your head?

I mean, I won't tell what's going through my head, but...

It's so funny. Yeah, there's not much I can say here.
So basically the way I look at it is their brain is so like the man vine is actually their brain. That's so minuscule that it's like trying to exit the back of their head.
So there's no actual brain inside when I see one of these things i mean like you just you look at this uh creature this individual i don't even know describe the you know clearly andronomous andronomous um physiognomy as well yes and try to do it i'm still like all jet lag uh physiognomy and the pouty lips and pulling the chest hair out.

It's... I'm still all jet lag.
Physiognomy and the pouty lips and pulling the chest hair out. You're going to want to as a dude with cleavage.
Whoa, whoa, hold on. One of our commenters is giving an update.
Apparently, the man bun is fake news. John Cantrell says he just grew it for charity and it has been sliced off of his head and is no longer present.
But in the fake justin baldoni that they made in deadpool ryan reynolds did ryan reynolds did do the man but wait a minute like the feminine and ryan reynolds is canadian yeah ryan reynolds is canadian so it all goes back to that is blake lively is not canada hold on they're stealing our women here are the allegations

and if she's the bad guy they're corrupting our women we don't know here are the allegations daisy you know more about this story than any of us but here are the allegations against baldoni by blake lively lively said baldoni improvised unwanted kissing on set and he discussed his sex life.

Ooh.

She said he watched her, topless,

having her body makeup removed she said he entered her trailer uninvited while she breastfed her husband apparently said he fat shamed her by asking an onset fitness trainer how much she weighed finally when she complained baldoni baldoni set a team of reputation destroyers on her who set out to bury her quote unquote with various negative stories but there's counters to all of this uh like there's a screen grab of of her inviting him into the trailer when she said like on text saying hey i'm just breastfeeding come in and practice lines with me or something like that. So I don't know.
The man bun. It's just fun to make fun of the man bun.
Right, Daisy? Yeah, man buns are gay. I can say that as a woman and as someone who's very grateful my husband doesn't have a man bun.
But Justin Baldoni's team released an entire website that he put up basically all of his communication with blake

lively and ryan reynolds but the trial is not until next march but i think it was yesterday or on monday blake lively actually added her kids to her complaint and said that her kids are experiencing emotional harm because of justin baldoni as well i don't know if any of those people are.

Charlie,

I did find a video of a man bun

on campus. If we want to go to that, I know you will remember this.
You got to play the taste. They're stalking him.
They're hunting him. Charlie's being hunted.
It's 250. Okay, hold on.
Hold on. Before we do that, here's a quote from Baldoni.
Writing from experience, Justin invites us to move beyond the scripts we've learned since childhood and the role we are expected to play. He challenges men to be brave enough to be vulnerable, to be strong enough to be sensitive, to be confident enough to listen.
Okay. Just wanted you guys to all feel that.
And his pod, he had a podcast with a woman and his podcast was called Man Enough. And it was all about like toxic masculinity and how men really talk about their feelings and are shutting things down.
And then after everything, everything allegedly or true, I don't know, came out from from blake lively's camp his female host left the show so she like wanted nothing to do with justin baldoni so i don't know who's right in this situation so cut 250 yeah daisy yes 250 you i hate you yeah would you like to have a substantive conversation or a substitute yeah Would you like to have a conversation? Sure, absolutely.

Yeah, yeah. Would you like to have a substantive conversation? A substantive? Yeah.
A substantive? No, man, I just think you're a f***ing asshole.

Would you like to have a conversation?

Sure, absolutely, yeah, yeah.

Okay.

I don't like you.

I think you spread hate.

I think you spread bigotry.

I think you piss a lot of people off because, I mean, you're just an awful person.

I don't think you really want to debate because you're just here to piss people off and energize your crowd of racists.

What have I ever said that's racist?

Oh, what?

Can you name one thing?

I'm Hispanic, and I support Charlie.

Can you name a second thing I've ever said that's racist?

I think you're just trying to play a game,

and I think this is obviously going to be used in your favor.

What have I ever said that's hateful?

I just want to f*** you.

You're awful.

Get off my campus.

When have I ever said anything that's hateful?

Have a nice day.

He can't say anything I've ever said that's racist because I've never said anything that's hateful? Have a nice day. He can't say anything I've ever said that's racist, because I've never said anything that's racist.
That is the American left in one picture, everybody. Lots of rage and no wisdom.
It's also the American man bun in one picture. American man bun love association, NAMBLA.
Charlie, I bet he would describe himself as a male feminist. It's just a wild guess, but I bet he would.
I would imagine that. I think that man buns are very gay.
I agree. With the stock market at record highs, are you confident your portfolio can weather the next big downturn? Market corrections are quick and unforgiving, wiping out hard-earned gains in an instant.

That is noblegoldinvestments.com, noblegoldinvestments.com. To remind people who have forgotten, four years ago, not five years ago, I guess, Donald Trump, like at the height of like the summer of Floyd when they were tearing down all the statues, Trump came up with the idea.
We should instead of tearing down statues, if people want to honor other Americans, let's build more statues. So you came up with this idea, National Garden of American Heroes, where we're going to build a big set of statues of great Americans and have them all in a garden and anyone can visit it.
And you could put it in Washington or somewhere else. I'm not sure if they picked the place.
Anyway, he revived the Biden got rid of it as he got rid of many things like our border. And Trump brought it back when he came back.
And just today he was talking about who he's going to put in the Garden of American Heroes. and it's Black History Month, so he mentioned a lot of great black Americans, Frederick Douglass, Rosa Parks, people in that vein.
And he also mentioned, though, a new, this is a new name that he just added, Kobe Bryant. Actually, do we have the clip of him reciting all of the names? Do we have that ready to go? Oh, we don't? Oh, we didn't get it.
Well, anyway, he said Kobe Bryant was going to be one of them. And so that, oh, 222, 222.
Let's go. We're going to produce some of the most beautiful works of art in the form of a statue for men like Frederick Douglass, Booker T.
Washington, Jackie Robinson. What a great athlete that was.
Martin Luther King Jr. Muhammad Ali.
he's not a bad athlete. What do you think, Muhammad? Not too bad.
And the late Kobe Bryant. People love Kobe Bryant.
And we're going to save Tiger Woods for another time. That's all, exactly.
I'm sorry. During Black History Month, we pay tribute to these heroes and to so many others but not simply because they're black heroes but also because they are truly american heroes who inspire all of us very much so so that's uh i i think that's actually a very fun idea and so we were talking like what who if we actually get this statue garden built who do we uh who do we want in it and uh this section this entire segment is brought to you by grok if you want if you guys have any names you want to suggest we can have uh them over in the studio quickly whip up some concept art for uh for what their statue might look like in the uh in the hypothetical garden uh and we already did uh whip a bunch of pairs so they might start showing them we have some more serious ones uh uh they have uh what what do we got what are some of those pairs we came up with uh i think lebron like lebron james and we have frederick douglas and jackie ron so those are the two of the ones we actually have so you can imagine what it might be like.
That's Johnny Cash and Martin Luther King Jr. That's Kobe.
It's Kobe Bryant and Rosa Parks. Is that Rosa Parks? So is he guarding Rosa Parks from getting to the front of the bus or something? Maybe.
We have a lot. lot let's put up i'll put up mark twain and snoop i'm just saying that's what the image looks like snoop dog is not an official one this is some speculation on our part um the the ai went a little demented with uh some of our concepts how about let's put up 232 put up 232 this is a great american hero it's a zelensky and the gigantic pile of taxpayer money that he was able to extract from did grok insert the money behind no no we asked him to include that uh how about uh i love this how about this is a great one by the way how many whys are gonna be on zelensky's title uh i think at least seven or eight uh you got to add several in his honor actually in our image we have uh we have i think uh i think 11 uh how about uh let's put up let's put up uh harambe and peanut i think we we can agree both of these guys are needed yes harambe harambe and peanut the squirrel and by the way anyone watching if you guys have ideas, go ahead and we can try to make them.
I see someone saying Johnny Appleseed should get one. Ben Carson.
Ben Carson would be a good one. And also, thank you for this subscription, Jen Cantrell 1776.
Thank you for all of your donated messages tonight. Bo Jackson.
Bo Jackson would be a good athlete one. Oh, there's Taylor Swift and Stephen Hawking.
I don't know what they have in common with each other, but it's very inspiring. I think many Americans would see that and know that they can achieve anything, even if they're disabled.
Is Stephen Hawking English? I'm not sure if he's, was he an American citizen? Oh, this is a great one. This is a showing one of our we have Christopher Columbus there on the right and then our most famous person of American Indian heritage Elizabeth Warren they were saying we didn't have American Indians in the first this was a heroes was something that came up in the 45 administration so there you That is obviously, you know, just a shout out to a great American Indian, Elizabeth Warren.

Do you have anyone you want, Charlie?

We can quickly whip them up there.

There's Mike Tyson and Hulk Hogan.

Hulk Hogan.

That's good.

I love that.

Let me think.

How about Douglas MacArthur and Michael Jordan?

I want to see those two.

Let's see how quickly we can put those together.

All right.

They're working on it.

We did Steve Jobs and Betsy Ross.

Put that one up.

Oh, boy. Is Betsy Ross like a girl boss in a sweater?

I was going to say, is she like a secret thing?

Does she work for Apple?

We're really making it.

These are not real statues.

We had Grok.

We're pulling names into Grok.

I love it. i was gonna say this is like a real thing does she work for apple we're really making it these are not real statues we had grok uh we're like a names into graph like this is like actually gonna happen like trump series he's ordered it to happen uh i think it's probably as likely to happen um as anything it's just statues i'm sure he has some authority to push that forward the budget uh i mean how expensive would it be to put okay i don't want to say that it's knowing our federal government it'll cost a billion dollars a statue but in theory it should not be that expensive to put up some bronzes of great americans and you know charge admission if you need okay i have a question i have a question in the midst of all this so trump is asserting americana autism loving your country being proud of who who we are again.
I'm so for all of it. How sure are we that this is going to penetrate, that this is going to actually have the impact that we want? I mean, I think it's better that our leaders are doing it than not.
But is it going to catch? Is it going to seep down deep into the soul of the country well i think uh a very real thing is like why was ronald reagan popular and ronald reagan for whatever you know in the years since people have portrayed him as this like ultra you know right-wing warrior but what really made him popular a guy who won 49 states is he is he was a very genial. He was a very positive guy.

He was all, oh, hold on.

This is one we made.

Could this be the statue we have one day, Charlie?

We have Charlie with the prove me wrong table.

That's very funny.

Took us a few attempts.

It's a little spotty on Charlie's face, but that was, I think, our best one.

We got a very little spotty.

That's more refined. Is that what i will be known for no it's proto and sam where's tyler when we need them no well the embrace of the hobbits the embrace of the hobbits uh you know i almost i kind of want to i kind of want to give a a preview of last week's conversation we we cut us for it.
I don't think it's ready yet, but maybe we just throw it up. This has sparked quite the controversy of this discussion about, you know, is Lord of the Rings, is it gay or not? And I have it i have it right here it's not ready for the fourth yet the fourth week in a row yeah but this it continues on it continues on so when it's ready we're gonna throw this clip up charlie let me know uh let me know you think of this this edit by the way it's yeah throw it up 251 it's not ready for the internet yet but we're gonna put on the internet anyways is gandalf the epstein wizard of middle earth yes he is yeah right you know this does circle back though to our most important topic which is whether lord of the rings is gay or not i watched lord of the rings this weekend and tyler ruined it for me i always used to look at it as you know brotherly love and then frodo and sam there's some very long gazes i'm glad you're with me it's so great i don't want to say tyler's giving in but like to the propaganda no no no the propaganda wants you to think every time when you accept this framing you are giving in to the propaganda.
No, no, no. The propaganda wants you to think every time.
When you accept this framing, you are giving in to the gay industrial complex. I never thought it at all my entire life.
And then Tyler mentions it, and it half ruins it. All right.
We have LeBron and MacArthur ready to go. Put it up.
Not LeBron. I said Jordan.
Or not LeBron.

Jordan. Jordan and MacArthur.

Jordan and MacArthur.

Jordan and MacArthur.

It's easy to get them confused.

They're all basketball players.

There we go.

There it is.

That's amazing.

There we go.

That's good.

That's two great Americans.

Two great Americans.

That's great.

And you got Chicago in the distance.

Yeah.

Who wouldn't want to go? Yeah. So will it work, Andrew? I'd say, yeah.
I'd say if they're serious,

I'd say,

I'd say,

I'd say,

I'd say,

I'd say,

I'd say,

I'd say,

I'd say,

I'd say,

I'd say,

I'd say,

I'd say,

I'd say,

I'd say,

I'd say,

I'd say,

I'd say,

I'd say,

I'd say,

I'd say,

I'd say,

I'd say,

I'd say,

I'd say,

I'd say,

I'd say,

I'd say,

I'd say,

I'd say,

I'd say,

I'd say,

I'd say,

I'd say,

I'd say,

I'd say,

I'd say,

I'd say,

I'd say,

I'd say,

I'd say,

I'd say,

I'd say,

I'd say,

I'd say, I'd say, I'd say, work andrew like i'd say yeah i'd say if they're serious about it you could this would not take long to make you commission bronzes get like fifth you know find 50 american artists to design these get them cast have it ready to go by the 2024 olympics uh or by our not 2024 uh 2028 olymp Olympics or by the time of the whatever it is, 250th anniversary, have it ready to go. And like Americans like statues, Americans like art, Americans like history.
The National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C. is popular, is super popular every year.
Millions of people would go to this. And like that's how you build good vibes.
You don't have to rip down statues of people you go around and say america is a great country with tons of great people and and people will get into it they'll memorize all the whole point is yeah the whole point is to screw you to the statue tear down people yes exactly i get especially the people who rejected i wasn't making an obvious connection

yeah especially people who may who reject and you know i cannot you maybe we could even when you have lots of statues you can get away with uh you know some maybe statues that would be more controversial like uh 236 we have uh with 236 we have richard nixon along with uh oj simpson who yes that's oj oj simpson i will note he was never convicted in a court of law for killing anyone and I will also note that he but he was convicted for something else yeah, he was convicted of other things in a civil and he was convicted of that robbery thing and I will also note even if he did kill those people, OJ Simpson rushed for over 2,000 yards in only 14 games. He averaged 143...
Which completely makes everything okay. He averaged 143 yards a game.
Andrew, can you think of that? Ravens linebacker? Was it Ray Lewis that, like, murdered a guy?

He possibly was involved or present at the slaying.

But he was a great athlete and a good commentator, so everything was fine.

Yeah, so Americans make that compromise all the time.

All right, Charlie.

Charlie, the question is to you, Charlie.

Can you revive the nation's patriotic spirit? Can you do it? Can you do it from on high? Yeah, of course. I mean, a little bit.
It's mostly got to be bottom up. But yeah, I think that the president can be a cheerleader for sure.
I think that it's got to be the citizen leaning in and engaging on what matters most and most fundamentally.

And look, I think that it's not inconsequential, the hockey game and the sports events that we're seeing there.

But yeah, I think you can revive national patriotism.

I don't think it could be forced, but I think it can be presented.

I think people can lead a strong example. I really do.
So follow a strong example, I should say. I want to believe you.
Speaking of revival, before we go, Charlie, so you just did your first campus event, I think since the election, right? Unless we did one right after, but we were all sort of waiting with bated breath what's the what are the college kids thinking both the friendly ones are they still enthusiastic and if there's hostile ones what are they fixating on what's the what's their angle of attack that they're all you know getting downloaded from the internet so we were really all interested in hearing what you had to say on that it was record turnout it was amazing uh we had well over 2 000 kids uh at the university of south florida today uh throughout the day come and go it was amazing and this is not an election year as you guys know uh that's me throwing out white 47 hats just incredible energy sat there for two and a half hours and it was amazing how just vocal and courageous the crowd is it's there's like no opposition whatsoever we might have had five or six questions of people that were in some form of opposition. I'm just looking at the footage here from University of South Florida.
And I mean, there's a legitimate permanent Gen Z shift happening. Everything you see in the polling, we saw reflected on the ground.
The base is as strong as ever. It's broadening, it's widening, iting it's strengthening it's deepening and just there there's just no rebellion energy at all on the left it just doesn't exist and so really fun the footage will be posted soon i'm sure the team is going to have a field day kind of cutting all that all together and uh yeah it's good stuff there it is i'm looking at what our audience have been suggesting.
Let's see. Ronald Reagan and Francis Scott Key.
Those would both be good ones. I don't know if they'd go together.
We could do a Tesla and Thomas Edison one. People would get a kick out of that.
Someone suggested Burton Ernie, probably inspired by the uh lord of the rings discussion earlier

uh because just like lord of the rings burton ernie are not gay they are just friends with

each other and it is the gay industrial complex teaching you otherwise just saying oh this is a

good one rush limbaugh rush limbaugh that would be a good statue oh there you go john wayne

that's a good one uh i think everyone they've put for i think everyone on the list overall is uh

Thank you. Oh, that would be a good statue.
Oh, there you go. John Wayne.
Rush definitely deserves it. I think everyone they've put for, I think everyone on the list overall is deceased, but there's people who we would definitely want once they depart this world, hopefully in a while.
Yeah, Tiger Woods would be good. Clarence Thomas, I think, would be a deserving one.
There's Bill Clintoninton and uh is that supposed to be hillary that's monica that says oh the other the other woman yeah there's uh there's two people who provided great one of them there's two people who provided huge amounts of entertainment to americans in the late 1990s uh you know i think i i i think i'll always fondly remember my parents trying to explain to me why why the president was in trouble on uh in trouble on the television and i probably would have been totally oblivious to it if they hadn't told me i was i was more interested in power rangers at the time um because Power Rangers was great. Were you ever into that, Charlie? Were you a Power Rangers kid? Not really.
No, I'm trying to think what I was into when I was at those ages. I was into the earliest.
Charlie's like, I was into Edmund Burke. Even Stevens, I liked.
Oh, no, no, no, no. I mean, I was into Arthur, and that sounds lame, but that was like what I was allowed to watch.

It was on PBS.

Arthur's still on the air. Did you know that?

I remember Arthur.

Arthur's still going. They're still making new episodes.

And then

Stephen Crowder did a voice on Arthur.

Did you know that?

No way! I didn't know that. Was he brain?

No, I didn't.

Secret knowledge. Stephen Crowder, Canadian.
Was he brain? No, I didn't. Secret knowledge.

Steven Crowder, Canadian.

Arthur?

Arthur was pretty good stuff, though.

Right?

Right, Brian?

And then Full House.

I was big into Full House.

Oh.

Big Full House guy.

You were watching it on Nick at Night.

You're like my sisters.

I'm sorry, Charlie.

I was like GGIF.

Oh, no, no, no, no.

I watched on Nick at Night.

Yeah, Nick at Night. That's exactly right.
I was a Nick at night guy full full house yeah nick at night they had a they had right they had an hour of full house every night this would have been like 2002 2003 i remember because my sisters watched it every single night and our family computer was there so i would get it by osmosis and i would try to see how often i laughed at it and i think they probably watched it about every night for about two years and i think i laughed at the show twice but it's kind of like friends i think full house it's technically a sitcom but it's not intended to be funny it's intended to just it's light-. And it all takes place in San Francisco.
