The DraftKing's Speech

(upbeat music) (upbeat music) - Love it, all in it, it's love it, all in it. (upbeat music) (upbeat music) (upbeat music) - Love it, all in it. - What's up, Los Angeles? (audience applauds) Welcome to Love It or Leave It. Live from Hollywood, I'm John Love It, and much like Odysseus, I just wanna get home and fuck my wife. (audience laughs) And we've got a great show for you tonight, but first let's get into it. What a week. (audience applauds) We're at war with Iran. I see shooting people in the street the Midwest has blanketed in a thick layer of wildfire smoke and diarrhea, but once in a while there is a glimmer of hope. This week the house passed the Sunshine Protection Act, which would make daylight saving time permanent. The oven clock would be correct forever. You would never again need to Google how to set clock, Toyota Corolla, or in my case, how to set clock, much more expensive car that I hate. (audience laughs) I hate it. Trump supports the change declaring on true social in May that I am going to work very hard to see the Sunshine Protection Act signed into law. There are very few areas of agreement between me and Donald Trump Diet Coke is good. Paper straws are bad. Democrats are annoying. Jews are smart. Jeffrey Epstein was murdered. And now this, 19 states have passed legislation to adopt year round daylight saving time if Congress ever stops clock blocking them. However, I've been on the permanent daylight saving time beat for a while now and things aren't as simple as they appear. Or as boring, please do not click away. For one thing, saving is actually a misnomer, a scientist degree, that salvation only comes through Jesus Christ. Also, we've tried this before. In 1973, Congress actually passed, and President Richard Nixon signed a law to switch to permanent daylight saving time. The switch was supported by more than two-thirds of Americans at the time, and then we experienced it. In much of the country, the sun would rise well after 8 a.m. sunrise in states like Ohio and Michigan, would be at 9 a.m. or later. Pretty tough. Imagine having your morning explosive diarrhea in the pitch black. The news was filled at the time with images of children fumbling to school on dangerous, unlit roads. And that was unacceptable. Children should never be unsafe on their way to school in America only once they get to school. The experiment was meant to last two years, but Congress repealed it before the following winter. It was a black mark on an otherwise stellar record of Richard Nixon. The good news is, according to the bill, the House just passed states could choose permanent standard time, and states like Michigan would benefit from being on standard time even in summer. Today's sunset in Detroit is 9 p.m. And it sucks when it's light out so late. It makes it harder to see the two screens you watch at the same time from dinner, so you're forced yourself to plug in your phone and squeeze your eyes shut. As you think about the last three videos you saw, a recipe, a joke, and a murder. And wonder why you're always so anxious and tired? Speaking of people who always seem anxious and tired, Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer took to the Senate floor to rail against the disastrous war with Iran, and in the process, caused a bit of a gas crisis of his own. Now on Iran and the NDAA, when all the Trump administration can say about his disastrous war with Iran, is that Vietnam was worse? Did you hear that? Let's play it one more time, just in case you missed it. Now on Iran and the NDAA. That's one bomb we won't be sending to Israel. A lesson for us all. You can get away with literally anything when you're hot. But this wasn't the most grotesque discovery in the Senate this week, and I'm not even talking about what they found when they cleaned out Lindsey Graham's desk. The Senate Judiciary Committee question Trump's pick for Director of National Intelligence, Jake Clayton, leading to this confrontation with Georgia Senator and guy who is younger than me, John Asaf. Who won the 2020 election? You know, I'm not going to do this with you. This is a job interview. We have established that you have an obligation to be honest and forthright with the committee. Yes, you do have an obligation to be honest and forthright with the committee. Yes. Like I said, I'm not going to get into that with you. I'm not going to engage in the theater. It's a simple question, Mr. Clayton. And I've asked who won the 2020 presidential election. I've answered it. Imagine sitting down at a job interview, and they say, what's your biggest strength and biggest weakness? And you're like, I'm not going to get into that with you. And then you get the job anyway, because your dad's a friend's. Clayton continued to evade that question when talking to Senator and guy with a cool name for a cowboy, Angus King. I've answered that question. I'm not going to get into that. You have not answered that question. Could you answer the question? A simple question. Yeah, I said, I'm-- Hey, really? My answer-- no, I'm not going to give you the same answer. The answer to the chairman was, I am-- he asked me if I was an election denier. I am not an election denier. Joe Biden was certified as the-- We all know Joe Biden. Just more so for a really simple question. As I said to you, we went through our processes. And Joe Biden became the president of the United States. How is he not an election denier? I haven't seen denial of this obvious. And Chuck Schumer tried to blame the dog. The committee also heard from the president's attorney General nominee Todd Blanche, who currently serves as acting AG and previously served as Trump's personal attorney. He was pressed by Republican Tom Tillis on whether he would meet with Epstein's victims. I expect that meeting to occur before I'm willing to vote out of this committee. And I'm trying to get to yes. But this is a very important part of getting to yes. Ew, and hear their gross sad stories. No thanks, said Blanche. This is actually a massive cave by Tillis, who is now, quote, "trying to get to yes." But previously said this about voting for Blanche. If there's even a whiff of a lack of independence, then that could influence my vote. Unfortunately, it's hard to get a whiff of anything other than fart when Schumer's been in the room. But here's Blanche talking to Senator Chris Coons. Is the Department of Justice that you are running independent from the White House? The Department of Justice, like every single department in the executive, is part of the executive. I mean, Article II of the Constitution gives the power of the executive to President Trump. More than a whiff to me, kind of a stench. And when I asked if Trump is eligible to run for a third term, Blanche said no, but it wasn't exactly an emphatic no. Is President Trump just as a simple matter of constitutional law eligible to run for another term as president in 2028? I don't believe he is, no. That is a question that should have a more confident answer than someone at the grocery store going, I don't think we have chickpeas at home. Of course, Blanche isn't independent. That's why he was chosen. That's like asking odd job if he's willing to stand up to Goldfinger. He's not. He's going to guard the bomb at Fort Knox until the bitter fucking end. You know, they were right. I knew, but odd job is a good comparison, but we're not all kind of swimming in the plot of Goldfinger. We don't remember that pussy galore did the right thing in the end. But on the other hand, Goldfinger does go from out of that airplane window. So something to think about that. And it's as if Trump is daring people like tell us to vote no, on Thursday. Trump gave a prime time address to spread 2020 election conspiracy theories. At least we think he did. The speech is happening as we are recording this episode. Trump is reportedly claiming, as we speak, that China interfered in the 2020 election, which took place when Trump was president, and he lost. But then it's like, did China get logged out in 2024 when Joe Biden was president in Trump won? And who can even remember the 2020 election? Joe Biden can't. So why should we? Every member of Trump's cabinet is a complete and total stooge. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced on Wednesday that the Treasury will begin striking a new gold coin with Trump's face on it in honor of the 250th. Hear me out, though. A dollar coin is the perfect thing to have Trump's face on it. It is a useless annoyance that weighs you down and feels like a relic from another era. And your uncle loves it. Not only is the coin ugly, it's arguably illegal by law and tradition only deceased people appear on US currency. So why don't we just show a little patience and wait for what's wrong with his hand to become what's wrong with his everything? A Fox reporter asked Trump for his thoughts on the coin. Your face is now going to be on a coin. It looks like from the Treasury Department? Yes. What do you think about that? That's very honest. It's cute. Not a bad picture. But it's very cute. They gave me a coin. That's very unusual from what I had to say. A gold coin. Yeah, gold coin and silver coin. It was very unusual, but I was honored by it. This has the energy of someone pretending to be surprised at a surprise party they planned for themselves. When my sister was pregnant, she wanted to do a gender reveal party. And so she ordered a gender reveal cake. And when she went to pick up the cake, they handed her the cake. And they said, one gender reveal cake. White on the outside, blue on the inside. Trump renamed the Institute of Peace after himself. He tried and failed to add his name to the Kennedy Center. He launched Trump accounts and Trump Rx. Stuck his face on the national park passes in a version of the US passport. The Navy is planning to build a set of Trump class battleships. He hung his portrait on banners outside the Department of Justice. And Palm Beach Airport has been officially renamed Trump International Airport with the airport code DJT. If I wanted to see Trump's name that many times, I would just read the Epstein files. And speaking of corrupt Trump devotees, on Thursday, we learned that Trump's long-time teleprompter operator has been betting on what Trump will say in his speeches. (laughter) It was the perfect crime until he flew too close to the sun and tried to get Trump to say he actually likes the colorblind casting in the Odyssey. (laughter) Raise suspicions. Federal investigators in cooperation with Calche found that Gabriel Perez, who has held the position since 2016, has made over $100,000 on these bets. Hot take, that is not enough. He should have made a lot more. That is a fucking easy crime. Are you kidding me? 100,000, that's it. You're his teleprompter operator and you're betting on what's in the speeches. Are you fucking kidding me? (laughter) That's insane. But of course this kind of thing is happening more and more. I heard that one of Schumer staffers bet on a certain outcome of his speech after seeing the minority leader take down a full pint of egg salad for lunch. (laughter) That was the last one, we're out. (laughter) That was the last one about the Schumer fart. Perez would allegedly bet on certain words or topics that Trump might mention. In some cases, he would then back out of the wagers mid-speech if Trump started to stray from the prepared remarks. Though that does explain that one speech where Trump said out of nowhere, "Fuck man, please say sharks. You gotta talk about sharks. Fuck, I put 15,000 on sharks. Please, my wife's gonna be so mad." (laughter) All right, we've got a great show for you tonight. (applause) And we'll be right back with "Desbizia." - Hey, don't go anywhere.

[APPLAUSE] All right. Thank you. All right, good to see you. Thanks for being here. Good to meet you too. Awesome. What's up? How you doing? Great. This is very exciting for me. Is it-- no, yes, it is. I love pod save America. Wow. I subscribed to the thing, because I wanted to hear something one day was like, you had to subscribe, so I subscribed. Got him. And you got me, and I haven't unsubscribed, and I like Polo Coaster, and I'm happy to be here, so. Well, it's great to meet you. I'm a big fan of yours. Oh, I really am. And I was thinking about-- because I see a lot of your clips. And you had this extraordinary experience of-- so you have lived in obviously the US, but also in Ireland and China. And I think it brings you an unusual perspective that allows you to make fun of people in a way only you can. I think you make fun of people in a way that is not-- no one else could do. I mean, I guess the Irish thing was basically two-thirds of my life. The Chinese thing was like a two-year kind of experience. So the Irish experience was basically like almost all of my identity. But the Chinese thing was a small but very impactful experience. But I do think that coming back to the States-- because I went to Ireland when I was 14. And now I'm back in the States performing here. And I do feel that that has given me a sense of why you would think that, because I've taken all those experience. And now I've Americanified it in a way that I think you identified with. And so do I understand that you were-- started drinking as a team? That's a joke that is true. And then I had a problem with alcohol. I got kicked out of school. So my parents sent me to Ireland to go to boarding school. Right. That seems like a bot. It's not even a punchline, but it works this one. Yeah, just sort of like if you have all the places in the world to say, oh, you're having problems with alcohol. I know we're going to save you. The joke I say is that they saw the potential in my alcoholism and they thought, let's make them the best one. He can possibly be. We'll send him to the Premier League, you know? And then-- But of course it's not true, because I stopped-- actually, but you believe I'm 31 years over today, which is to coincidence. Whoa. It's just to coincidence. So I stopped drinking at 19. So we joke about the stereotype. But my life is actually in contradiction to the stereotype, because I lived most of my life sober in Ireland, very comfortably, and had a comfortable life of sobriety there. So that buss the stereotype. Yeah. But that's not fun. That's not fun. That is not fun. The stereotype busing is so boring. Stereotypes are so-- Stereotypes are hilarious. Yeah, there's one thing I think-- I think stereotypes are the funniest. Stereotypes are funny. And when you do them in the right way and in the right spirit, it's great. And when you do it in the kiltony spirit, it's not great. Not as good, yeah, yeah. And now, you do live in China for a time, and you speak Mandarin. Yes. Is it a superpower to look like you? God, the people must really come as a shock when you break out the Mandarin amongst people in China. Yes. And when I first went there in 2004, just like for a holiday, it was much more like, wow, tall white dude. And my girlfriend of the time was blonde. And there was a lot of, like, can we get a picture just for you being you? But actually, by the time I did the project that I did, which was a one-year documentary series about trying to learn enough Mandarin to do stand-up in Mandarin, right? So then I was living there full time. By then, you know, China had become quite a bit more international, so there wasn't the same level of excitement. However, there was still a lot of admiration for the lawy. The foreigners that could speak Mandarin. But what the mistake that I made, which I've realized now, is that I didn't realize that in the Western world, some creators were going to get humongous followings by shocking Chinese people in the States, with their good Chinese shout out to Shaoma NYC, who's humongous on the internet. And in fairness, what he does is great. But I never thought about doing it over here. Other than my friends get such a kick out of it when I order in Chinese at a Chinese restaurant. And the Chinese are like, oh my god, your Chinese are so good. But I didn't monetize it. - And that's a shame. - That is shame, you know? - I just want to say that I am just-- - I'm honestly-- - I can barely look at you. I'm disgusting. You had a monetization opportunity you left on the fucking ground, you know? If I was in a monetization positive atmosphere like the crooked media space, I would have never, I would have never missed that opportunity. I'm sorry, we use the word sustainable as a sustainable business. No, listen, every joke that I say about you guys comes from complete admiration. But what I will also say is that, you know, I was making this series. for Irish TV. I had a mission, right? I had already done a language learning thing before, but what I didn't expect was that the English language material that I would write about my experience in China, about being a fish out of water, about the language stuff, even some jokes literally about learning Chinese. I didn't realize how much they would resonate when I came back to the States. In fact, that was almost like my bridge back to performing in America, because I've always been an American comedian in Ireland. The bridge back was like how much American audiences were eating up my Asian experience. Well, I think that that speaks to how China looms in our culture. That was what motivated me to want to do it in the first place. Yeah, because you'll see it even, there'll be ads on television saying we can't regulate AI because China will win the Slop Wars, and having lived there, when you see politicians turn China into the super enemy, that's the reason we can't say kind of have a slow down AI in the U.S. or we have to do all these other things. What is your experience to that? Well, that's more of, like, when I initially pitched my idea, it was 2008, I had done this Irish language. I learned the Irish language, and I had made a series about learning the language, but I always had a fascination with wanting to learn Mandarin. So, the Beijing Olympics was about to happen, and the world was really focused on China, but in very much a way of what's going on over there, they're rising economically, they're rising militarily. What's going on over there? So, I felt everyone just wanted to see how fast it was growing, but I wanted to tell the story of the Chinese people, because the focus was always on the politics and the economy, and I found that people to be quite fascinating. So, I wanted to tell that story. The more proper Chinese enemy story has been more of a recent phenomenon, but on the flip side, we actually, the West, not just the US, used to push back more against Chinese human rights infringements. So, now we're worried about them taking over the world, but we're not worried about how much they oppress certain percentages of their population. So, it's kind of frustrating in a way that now it's just like us versus them, as opposed to let's maintain the relationship, but keep the pressure on them to actually stop doing the bad shit they do. But it gets harder to have the moral high ground when we seem to be becoming more like China. One of my jokes is always when I went to China, which apparently it's like an old Russian joke, but a Chinese comedian had given it to me. They said, "Why would you go to China to do stand-up? There's so much censorship, you can't say anything there." But I say, "No, it's not that different, comedy in America, comedy in China, it's similar." In America, you can make fun of the American government, and in China, you can make fun of the American government. It's the same. But then the Jimmy Kimmel thing happened, and suddenly I was like, "This fucking joke has about six months left, and it's shot." Yeah, man, that sucks to hear. Yeah. But what I will say is, because obviously we talk a lot about free speech in America, and there was a time where the right felt like they were coming hard, the censorship was coming hard on them. Now, it feels the other way that the government itself has actually government censorship creeping into America. And all those fears, I actually think a lot of those fears from both sides at times felt a bit valid, but they were never truly valid, because everyone, they were being denied speech in one space, but they always had the freedom to find another space. Yeah, sometimes people will say a book has been banned, but a book is not banned if you can't get it in a certain store or a library, for example. 100%. We still had free speech, some people were being censored in certain spaces, whereas in China, you truly didn't have that, and I performed in a place where, to do a live performance, you're actually supposed to officially apply to the censor to do it legally. Now, we did loads of illegal ones, but it sounds more dramatic than it was. They were just too small for anyone to care. But then what happened since I left in 2015, because I stayed for an extra year, because I loved it so much. Like, stand up as we know, it was pretty new then. But after I left, and nothing to do with me, stand up really kind of exploded there, because online content really exploded in China. And in some ways, they were kind of like pioneers, because their TV was so censored that their online content actually blew up earlier than here. Like, they were doing what became what we would say, like, influencer stuff, like before we were, because they kind of were forced. But then the internet got too popular, so they cracked down on that too. And they lost their short. Now stand up really popular. So now you can't even do the little shows we were doing, because they cracked down on those too. So, and then the other direction, what was, what did you find was the expectations around America and Americans when you would be doing stand up? Like, what were the, in the same way that China looms for America? How does America loom for the Chinese people you were meeting? You know, like, it's, you know, so culturally they were very positive about America, heavily influenced by not just culture sport, the NBA. So, culturally very positive towards America. But obviously, like, governmentally, they did feel that America misunderstood China. You know, they, they were soaking up the propaganda. And the joke always is in China. It's like the, the nightly news every night is the government is, you know, doing their job for you. They're allowed by saying that every day people are working hard and the West is a mess. And like, literally, it was that every day. So like, they were just like, critical of the American government. They didn't like the fact that America only focused on Chinese human rights stuff. That was like an issue for them. But culturally, they were very positive about America. I would be remiss if I didn't play a clip of you on a Chinese dating show. And we do have, yeah, I'm curious which one you picked actually. Actually, I actually did two of them, would you believe? It's not particularly suitable, because my dad was too young. My parents were younger than you when I was 6. Oh, really? Your mom is pretty, right? That's improv. Yeah, that's good. So, there's people listening. I was one year of Chinese. The potential date says, "I don't think we're a good fit. You're only six years younger than my parents." Yes. And so, I said, "I should bother hot." Well, in actual fact, if you translate it directly, I said, "Is your mother beautiful?" But I just think that it was quite crass for me to ask that question. But I think in English, the crassness of it wouldn't translate if I said "beautiful." But that's a whole other world of comedy translation. But listen, I'm not blowing my own trumpet, but the mission was to do stand-up in Mandarin. But the thing is, stand-up, you know, you can figure out those bitch can learn them. Whereas, I was on this full Mandarin dating show, so I had to just go with the flow. That I considered to be my real achievement, because that was literally after 12 months of learning Mandarin. And I was like, "This is cool. I am riffing on Chinese TV." So, I was pretty happy with that. Was there any other example of the translation about the nuance of a translation, being interesting of trying to get an idea from a joke from English into Mandarin? It's very hard. And in actual fact, I very rarely did that, because so often it's either the language order or just particularly say, "It's easier for me to explain it going backwards." I had a lot of jokes in Mandarin that were about me misunderstanding something. But when I try to translate those jokes back in English, I have to give away the punchline to let the audience know why the person was confused. Do you get what I'm saying? And stuff like that happens all the time. So most of my Mandarin stuff, I just wrote in Mandarin, or it was like, "Fish out of water experiences." Like, stories are easier to do than joke jokes. So, anything that's like a joke joke that I had in English, for me personally, almost impossible to translate. But some of the stuff works in both languages because it's stories. Like, I can tell my joke about the fact that my last name that I picked in Chinese, if you mispronounce it, it means Kant. I apologize, but now it's okay. So, I can tell that joke in English, and I can tell it in Chinese. However, the punchline in Mandarin isn't me saying what it means. It's giving the scenario of their reaction when I say it, because the minute I say it, they know. You know what I'm saying? Because they're hearing the mispronunciation. But so it's the same joke, but two different ways to tell it. That's so interesting. Now, you've performed all over the world, but this is America, so we need to know which place is best, and a segment we're calling best country for old men. Here's how it works. I'm going to give you a category, for example, best noodles, and you'll tell us which country has the best, the US, Ireland, or China. Is that the first question? Sure. I mean, come on. It's China. I figured it would be China. 100%. Now, however, the Chinese food in the United States, the standards are like off the charts up these days. Really? Well, I definitely, in the coastal cities, I think the standards are very high. That's good to know. That's good to know. We also have a sound effect for each country. Here's the USA. Here's Ireland. And we went conservative with China. The People's Republic of China. We were afraid of inventing something. We were afraid of being racist. We were afraid of being racist, so we just did that. We couldn't think of anything. We were like, you know what, we're not going to bet it all on this fucking bit. We're going to throw it all away for this little interstitial segment. No, no, that's not what we're going to do. Claudius said that. If you heard at the end, she says the China in Mandarin, so we did the best we could. OK, first up, best hangover food. Oh, Ireland. (upbeat music) - Best place in necessity. - Right, right, it's sort of, yeah. Best place to date. - Oh, America. - I wish people were actually resistant to dating for so long. They didn't even, the concept to them was slow-american. - It's very, very, sort of the Catholicism kind of running through this blood. - Yeah, the culture has changed now, but definitely America's good for dating because they have rules and they understand it, and it's just better. - Ah, I didn't think of it as an American export. Best hecklers. - Oh, Ireland, without a doubt. - Okay. - Nothing we've thought through how many times we've been hearing these. (laughing) Best place to cry in public. - Oh, oh, best place to cry. I feel like America is because in America, somebody might be inclined to be like, "Are you okay?" - Yeah. - Yeah. - Where's an Ireland, they'd be like, "Well, you fucking get over yourself." (laughing) Which, you know, they're probably right, in a way. - Best curse word. - Oh, shabby, China. - The people of public of China. (laughing) - We'll say it again. - Shabby. - That's cool. (laughing) - Sounds good. I think it's the tonal language. - By the way, I'm aware that in the United States, the Seaward has a lot more power, and I know I'm flippantly checking it out throughout the show, but I want to point out that that's what it does mean in Chinese, but also in Ireland, it does not have that power. - Right. - So I can be over casual with it, so I apologize. - I don't apologize. Don't apologize to me. I don't care, I'm a man. (laughing) But I'm aware that some people might be hearing it. I think it's a bit strung. - Now, you have a new special bridge and tunnel. It's on your YouTube channel, and you go to desbishop.net for your tour dates. Now, the new special is more about the Irish Italian battles from Queen. - That's a part of it. You know, because most of my career is in Ireland, I never really was able to indulge in like my childhood, 'cause I had the first 14 years of my life was a very like New York multi-ethnic kind of upbringing. I don't really identify with that. So this was the beginning of me exploring a part of myself, and it's been quite fun to be able to perform, particularly in the big cities in America, they really can identify with that stuff, but that's only part of it. There's like a couple, there's like a nostalgia section, a New York section, some more Chinese stuff, some dirty stuff, and a little bit of wokey stuff. - Oh good. - Yeah, I mean, I'm a pretty woke guy. I don't get supported by the people that love woke shit, but I-- - Because of that, I think it's good to-- - I will not grift like a lot of my compadres in the business. Are you being grifted against woke? - Be an anti-grow, I can't go against who I am because I know that that's where the older white dudes are hanging. - Right, right, right. - And they're dollars out for my MAGA song. So I'm not out there trying to get that dollar. Like a lot of my guys did. - Well, I do think it's something that does happen. I do like, there's a kind of a fork at the road for comedians. It happens like the mid-40s, maybe, where they can keep being curious and interested in learning and being a little bit uncomfortable, or they can just sink into it, you know? Just sink into being mad and a little bit grumpy and sort of the kids these days. And I do see, it's a smoother ride on that. It's the smoother path over there to the-- - 100% and in standard terms, it's really like the adoration that comes from the aggrieved older people. It's hard, it sucks them in. Whereas I like to sort of like gently rib them in a way where I don't put them off, but I just like try. I always say that it's my, I'm naive 'cause I still have a lot of MAGA friends. I have this naive belief that I can turn them like a 60-year-old gay guy, thinks he can turn a 21-year-old straight guy. - Yeah, yeah, for sure. - That's my like MAGA, you know? Like when I'm playing off with my MAGA friends, I think I'll just slowly get them to come over to my side. - Well, but that's what I mean about you. I have like a point of view that I think is unique because you're able to, I think that I get why you think that I get that because there's a way in which you're making fun of people. And sometimes on stereotypes and on all of it, but it's from a place of love and from a kind of cosmopolitan point of view. So it's almost like you're tricking them. - That's the try, that's the try. Like for example, you know, it's such a weird thing because I, by the way, I firmly believe that you should remain friends with your MAGA friends. And I said that in a bit once and I got tons, I got a lot of anger at me for saying that. And I just don't know what we gain by turning your back on these. Particularly the ones, by the way, it upsets me that they haven't seen what we've seen and been like enough. It does upset me, but I'm not sure what you gain by leaving them completely because you hope at some stage, there might be one thing, one insane act, and then you'll be there for them. - Well, so I think there's three things. - All right, I think there's what you should do, what you want to do and what doing it can achieve. - Right. - And I think they're different, right? What you should do, I think like if you're thinking about like what's in the best interest of the world, biting your tongue and being available, being a presence, keeping that connection, being a source of better information, I think that makes sense. - Yes. - Then there's it. But then there's also just what you can tolerate. - What you can tolerate. - Right. - And I do think part of it. - By the way, I don't hang out with anyone who's openly. - Of course, but I think there's something about, even if you know someone has continued to be supportive of what's happening, then that speaks to something kind of a deep moral difference. And A, it's hard not to be upset about that. And then B, it's hard to pretend because if someone supports Trump right now, and they just want to laugh and yuck it up and have a good time. It is asking you like, don't bring up that, boy, you certainly don't mind who's working at this restaurant. Boy, you certainly want to just pretend like you're a happy-go-lucky person, but wouldn't do the terrible, aren't complicit in the terrible things that are happening. - Yes. - You have to, you are kind of, there's a way in which not, you know, on the one hand, yes, you're kind of staying available. On the other hand, you're kind of giving up on, you have to lie a little bit, just by doing, - So yourself, yes, I think so, or just, or to them, or just about the situation, you have to ignore something. - You have to ignore something, 100%. - And then there's what can come of it, right? Which is, you know, how do you get 'em? We're really not doing that great job. I've got people got to want to come back. - What I have them now is being dissatisfied with the obvious things. - Yeah, that's where they're at. But you know what they still say? But it's still better than Kamala. And I'm like, I don't hold back. I'm like, you fucking think so. This like experienced, incredibly intelligent person versus this buffoon, doing everything he said he wouldn't do. - There is, well, then it gets heated. - Then it gets heated, and then it gets stalking. - But that's what can't be about being six foot three. - That's cool, that's cool to be six foot three. I'm five foot nothing. - And we'll wear it back. - Hey, don't go anywhere. There's more of Love It Or Leave It coming up. - Love Or Leave It is brought to you by Cook Unity. I love Cook Unity. I ate a cook unity today. Today, I had a cook unity. It was a chicken cullet on some sort of, I think it was called a porcini fettuccini, which is obviously rhymes. But also delicious, it was a high protein, breakfast was a big meal. I sometimes like, I go to the gym and I'll come home and I know that I'm gonna have a bunch of stuff right in the row. I eat a, basically, a dinner for breakfast. And I love it. - That sounds great. That sounds like the Italian AI Slop. - No, it isn't. It isn't Italian AI Slop. It's human made delicious food. It was, I think it was called chicken fettuccini porcini, but that's not right. - Was it the TikTok thing? - It was like cappuccino Villanova or something, and it was just a yelling cup. This is not that. This is delicious cuisine. Oh, yesterday I had a Greek yogurt bowl that was excellent. Cook Unity is the first chef-led meal delivery service that makes your meals and small batches inside local microkitchens across the US, not factories.

Or use code lowly before check out for 50% off your first week. The food tastes like someone just made it for you because they did. In small batches that morning, there are hundreds of dishes to choose from. It's an incredible variety of options. The menu features 10 different dietary preferences, and over 25 million global cuisines, and it's updated constantly. - Valarina cappuccino. - That's what I think. - That's what. I really do genuinely love cookunity. I have, sometimes I have four meals at a time or six meals at a time come depending on the week, but the idea is that you have those four meals, and if you're busy, you get home, you can just make something rather than cooking if you don't have time or ordering something in, that's gonna be worse and more expensive.

(audience cheering and clapping) Please welcome to the stage. He's in the bear, he's in never change. He's hilarious. Please welcome. (audience cheering and clapping) - Hi, good to see you. Come on. - Thanks for having me. - What's up, man? - Hi, what's up? - It's good to meet you. - You guys bummed, you thought Jeremy Allen White was gonna walk out here? Sorry. - No, we didn't want him. We wanted you. We said no, we said no. - Appreciate it. - We don't want that. We don't want that guy. - You don't want the health and climb model. - Yeah, we don't need that energy up here. - You want to get up in here? - Well, you guys, I heard you guys go crazy. You've been sober for 31 years. - Yes. - I've been drinking for 27 years. (laughing) So, how come people don't clap for that? - Yeah, we admire that too. Yeah. Well, you know, I've gotten booed before for saying my sober dates. So, you know, it's not always a win Well, I'm just saying like I don't know because booing you for that in Ireland So you I want to start just you've been making these I think a lot of people may have seen you on social media because you made these videos reviewing Los Angeles establishments. I just want to show one of those clips. Check out these hidden gems in Highland Park Nah, I'm done gatekeeping the best authentic Mexican taquerie in Highland Park is home state This is real L.A street food nothing says tacos like brisket I wanted to try a legit while hockey beer So I ordered the shiner box to watch down these Tijuana Panthers. It's my lunch break. Please don't tell my boss at Hallbirds I've been gatekeeping this next home the wall for far too long Mendocino farms if you get homestay and Mendo back to back and say the secret password culture You get eight dollars off Jenny's ice cream. Tell them Mendo sent you the homestay to Mendo to Jenny's pipeline is about to go stupid twin So tip well. Have you seen how many people have been ripping this off? Yes, it's crazy That's why I wanted to talk to you about it. Wait, I'm actually that's crazy that you brought that up somebody else People keep DM in me the people that are ripping in my home like I don't want to watch this shit I'm infuriated. Yeah, because there are people just they're doing this bit and it's almost becoming its own genre of all these people ripping you off It's crazy and they're doing like so I think To just talk about the bit is like I was basically just making fun of influencers and making fun of Because I lived in Highland Park and it was sad to see like Jenny's ice cream and people say that homestay Is the best tacos homestates trash in my opinion although I actually ate there today unfortunately Somebody asked me to get breakfast and I was like sure it's right there They picked it and I'm not gonna not eat so I ate it But then also it's like Mendocino farms. It's actually not bad But it's just these establishments in this like cool neighborhood and I was like so I'm making fun of influencers And I'm making fun of these you know these commercial businesses that usually ruin neighborhoods But so then what has happened is there's people that are doing like not funny versions of it and just being very like There's no satire. It's just direct like this place sucks this place sucks This place says there's no like joke behind it and then their video does like twice as well as mine. Yeah It's outrageous. It's crazy. I hate it But you have to keep doing it though. That's the thing, but I don't want to I literally I did it to like promote a show what it's like an idea like I get an idea and I'm like I'm I do the idea I hope it comes out well and then I want to do the next idea like I don't that This is what's interesting about social media now is like people have one thing and it pops off and it becomes their whole identity That I'm not interested in that and they have to keep doing that and then they become trapped and it's like I don't like being viewed as doing one thing I like to be I like to be known as being able to do multiple things and I just would hate to be the food reviewer guy That's I hate that. That's not what I want to do. I'm making fun of it. Yeah, well, it's funny Well, I do think that and the If people that click on they land on the one thing that's working and they keep doing and they keep doing and it maybe it'll work for a while But that's a brittle kind of success versus finding new ways of trying to do new and funny and interesting things some of which don't work and don't get this Look at the same views who cares, right? I guess. You know our David Portnell. He's nearly a billionaire for doing peach reviews. I know I thought about doing that You can be billionaire. I do I do pizza. I think like it I went to you know I went to college and I was a business major and I was a marketing major and I do there are things that I see that I could do in my career that could make me Way more successful than what I am but after college I worked in sales for eight years and I made decent money. You know, I don't come from money My family's very like working class barely anybody went to high Graduated high school. So I was the first one to go to college and you know There's like these aspects of like I could just make money and be rich But I already you know, I did sales and I wasn't happy. So to me it's really about it really is like as lame as it's the sound It is about like making the art and doing something. I'm like excited about if you all of a sudden I'm just doing food review fucking videos and it's like I'm punching in and out like that doesn't excite me You know what I mean? Yeah, sorry. This was supposed to be fun No, it is fun. We're gonna this part of it is having serious moments where we get into it Yeah, I like that too and people like that too. Yeah, I'm that's I'm really I didn't uh Because you guys don't know this but they kind of I didn't know you were gonna talk about this But somebody kept was bringing this up the other day and I was like it pisses me people This actually does piss me off that social media has become this thing where it's like if somebody doesn't idea And somebody else likes it. They just do the idea. Mm-hmm. That seems crazy to me. Yeah, like I they're not yeah But I don't respect the thing. Yeah, like but they cannot probably not twist on it or anything or like being inspired to do your own thing from it Well, this is like that's what we should be doing right? Yes, but I think sometimes people say you know AI is terrible look at all this slop and I agree, but I think a harder question is Wait, did we accidentally build a system in which semi-true Uh, uh, like kind of copycat boring empty words If you were created created enough of it you can like make money off of it like we built in a we created value for the AI Slop right the reason people are creating AI Slop is because there's money to make an AI Slop because we built these sort of these Algorithmic systems that reward the kind of like you know Trashy repetitive Nonsense right people grab that that to me is a thing and so when like when it's like what what are those people doing that? Or taking what you did and just doing their own version. They're kind of being AI, you know Just being there being human AI. So we find all their cons and go you are AI. Let's go to their houses You know also there's no professional repercussions for Stealing from you like you can just steal no like fucking when Carlos Mincee was stealing George Lopez's shit George Lopez hung his ass over a balcony try to kill him, but he like let's bring that back He was ostracized by the comedy community. Yeah, and you can't ostracize a you an account. Let's bring back almost killing people. No, no I'm joking. I'm joking guys. He's kidding. I'm kidding. He's kidding about it. It's a kidding. It's just a joke now Here in a new comedy called never change about a group of 30 somethings who have to go back to high school after finding out that they Legally never graduated. I feel like there's a fantasy people have if they could go back and do it again They do it better. Do you share that fantasy? Oh, you know, what's funny is I've been having this feeling a lot lately So I played high school football as you can tell and You know we were a really good team. We went 11 and one my junior and senior year and we had one guy go to the NFL on our team We were good, but um I was on the bench. I rode the bench and I've been watching The World Cup for the first time and as an adult as an older man now. I'm watching being like wait I should have been playing soccer this whole time. These guys are more of my body to I mean they're obviously in way better But like I like to run. I wasn't a big guy and I'm like I'm I love basketball You know, I have some agility and I'm like fuck. I should have been playing like it's crazy at this point in my life to be like I should have played soccer if I go back to high school. I think I would have played soccer So yeah, I would have done it differently Yeah Soccer seems like a lot it takes a lot of it. Yeah, there's no guarantee though. You would have been good at it. Yes, I would. Okay Yeah, I agree. I think you would have been trust me. I think it's I think there's sort of a terrible thing There's like kind of a crazy thing. I'm good at basketball and I play with obviously I'm a short guy So I'm like soccer. I'll fuck these little guys up I have a little rule of thumb where if somebody says they'd be great in a hypothetical You just say yes, yes, three also it's like who cares and also the other thing you could do is you can tell people you speak five languages What do they know? Yeah, that's right. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, sure he speaks man or anyone three words on the airplane I'll say whatever I want who cares. I want to talk right now. I gotta go. Who do you like more personally Joe Firestone or Joe Para? Oh, that's a sweet question They're both great people Joe Firestone is one of the sweetest humans and the planet and Joe has been has employed me Multiple times. So I'm gonna go Joe Para smart. That's smart. Hollywood. Molly would I go where the money goes I said I did an earlier. I'm lying So you're the only person on the bear from Chicago. I Wouldn't I would that's a great question. I would say okay, so there's some people in the kitchen that probably have smaller parts that are from Chicago but out of like In season one, I think I was like probably like top 14 or 15 on the call sheet and I would say in those top 15 I was probably the only person born in Chicago born in Ravenswood hospital raised foster in Western and then um, I would say I was the only one but I'm I could be wrong. I don't know actually sweeps. I think he's from Chicago. Yeah, he's from Chicago But most yeah, most of the cast is not from Chicago But believe it or not a lot of actors, you know They're not from the cities that they say they are in the movies. I hate that. Yeah, I hate that about that I think people should be from where they say they're from and the thing exactly and every sports team wherever city you are All the players have to be from that city. That would be cool actually way better. It would be way better. All right. We'll be right back Hey, don't go anywhere.

So we have high school related egg of truth questions today for all of us, okay? By the way, do you still get like exam anxiety dreams? No. I haven't been in school for many, many years, but I still sometimes think I'm about to take a test that I haven't studied. Absolutely. Is that why all of that hangs out? I actually took a statistics class in college and it met at 8.20 a.m. on Tuesday and Thursday, and I simply did not go and it got out of hand. Everything got missed. Oh, I've got it. And so I literally had a final exam for a class. I simply stopped attending and I had to just like read the textbook. It was open book. Thank God. So I kind of like, could gut my way through it, but that was scary day. I think about that sometimes. It makes me scared sometimes. But that's actually a memory, not a dream. I have the anxiety dream of like, I don't even know what this test is. You don't get those? Yeah, I used to, but then I started getting going that I was my old job dreams when I worked in sales. I went from that and then my dream was like, oh, I forgot to, I haven't been punching in and I've been working for three months and you're not going to get paid. Whoa. That's a serious financial anxiety dream. I had a, I worked for Hillary Clinton as speech writer and I was very unqualified. She said a one twice. And for sure. And I, totally, it was your speech that loved for sure. People think that. But I have dreams about, did you write the floor? No, I didn't. I didn't. You know what? You know what I tell you something? It is, there's uncertain, certain quarters of the internet is taken as a given like a fact that I wrote Pokemon Go To The Pulse and I've been denying it for a decade. And people think my denial is a joke that I really wrote it. I didn't, but even now it seems like I'm joking, I think, because people really think I wrote it. I believe you. So who wrote it? I don't know who wrote it. I don't know. I wrote it. I wrote it. I wrote it. You wrote it. It's a good line. I use chat GPT. That's amazing. An early version. Did I poke him on Go To The Pulse? It's a great line. It broke through. People remembered it. Yeah, it was cringe. The problem. People were like, this is why she lost, no, she lost for several other reasons. And if she had won, you'd think it was a good line. She lost because she didn't have enough hot sauce in the purse. Yeah, she gave you more hot sauce in that fucking purse. She does have hot sauce in the purse. That's a thing. You know that. I don't know. I think you're right. I think they know that. You know about Hillary's hot sauce in the purse? I didn't know about that. Really? Oh, no. It's not getting in it. First question. In your high school, it still makes you freeze in the shower when you think of it filled with remorse and embarrassment and shame. Is this for me? Either of us. For any of us. Do you have a moment like that? A little cringy moment. They go, I mean, you know, when it infreshed me in your high school in New York, I like, this guy said something about my girlfriend and I just, I said, I said, we have to have a fight and we had like this big, like dumb, stupid fight. It wasn't even that violent. Everybody was around. And like, after was, I was like, this was just so, and it's still to stay. I think about that stupid fight. And this guy was actually like a nice guy and afterwards, like, we became friends again. And I was just like, what, that was the most idiotic thing of all time. Even though the fight was pretty benevolent now, but it was just, I cringed thinking that I went through that with that. You had a girlfriend? That's cool. Yeah. Did you have a girlfriend? Still in touch with. You're still in touch with that girlfriend? Wow. Just over the years, you know. Wow. What a nice guy. People like you. People liked you even after you broke up. Well, it was a long time ago. Right. It's 1990, it's a high time to settle. Did you have a girlfriend and a high school? I did. I had a great girlfriend. That's so cool. It was good. And then I broke up with her. I was like, bro, I gotta get out there. I gotta see what it's like to be a single senior. And I got back with her. What did you think you would grow up to be when you were in high school and do you regret doing this instead? Ooh. That's deep. High school? I thought I was going to be like a gym teacher and I do not regret doing what I'm doing now. No, I didn't like, I didn't really know. I remember thinking like I had one cool gym teacher. I was like, maybe I'll do that. I didn't like, no. And then I was like, maybe I'll go to the army. The bar was not high. I thought I was going to be a history lecturer. Oh, yeah. That's what I was going to be. Maybe a lecturer. Yeah, because I didn't want to be a teacher. I wanted to be like a professor. You know, we say, do you say lecturer here as much? Say professor. Oh, that was like a professor. The professor is like a higher thing over there. Yeah, over there. Yeah, over there. That's what I think. I wanted to teach history in college. Wow. That's cool. Because I felt like it was like, the teacher just felt, in my mind, like not, not as much of an aspiration. I wanted to be a college lecturer. Do you read a lot of history? I still love history. That's what I, that's all I was interested in. That's what I did in college and that's, you know, I think then I got into comedy. Thank God. My BA in history wasn't going to take me very far. I think I really wanted to be in the NBA, to be honest, but like, my stepdad told me it a really young age. He's like, it's never going to happen. I was on the team. He was like, you got to be the best in your town. Then you got to be, you got to be the best in your school, then your town, then the state, and then whatever. I was like, damn, dude. All right. I get it. Come on, my dreams. Yeah, Jesus. Quick. When I say the word prom, what's the immediate feeling you have in your body? Oh, hell, yeah. Wow. Really? That's so cool. Yeah. What about you? Carry. Because we, we don't do proms in our, you know, like, they didn't do, no prom. No, they do something like it, but I didn't even, it's not the same. Like, it's not as much of a ride of passage. I didn't have the experience. You didn't have your experience. I didn't either. I didn't go to my prom. I played Nintendo 64 in the basement. Whoa, dude. Yeah. That comes up in therapy, man. Yeah, if I went to therapy, but I don't, because I don't need it. I don't even need it. I don't need it. I wouldn't even, wouldn't even come up. We'll be right back. (laughs) (upbeat music) And we're back. (audience applauds) I forgot to say, Carmen, yes, Carmen on Instagram, for tickets to see your, your hour on July 29th at Zebulon. That's right. People go check it out. Come on out. Do you guys like comedy? (laughs) Do you like to laugh? Do you guys like me? (audience cheers) Well, I got a show on July 29th, and if you're not there, I'm going to be so pissed. I forgot that, uh, that there was a fight with, with Mincee, I forgot about the fight aspect of it. Yeah. You almost got his ass killed. Yeah, I actually didn't know about that part of it. I just knew also that Rogan went after him hard for the, oh really, joke stealing. Your boy. (laughs) (laughs) I heard you back there. And just like that, we arrived at the twilight of another fantastic episode, which means it's time for our favorite closing segment, "Second Thoughts." (bell dings) (audience applauds) The lover of leave a team has been analyzing my performance for any imperfections. And while they've come up with none, they've done their best anyway. To compile a list for a view and decide what I should regret from tonight's episode. Uh, also, if you have any regrets about tonight's episode, this is the moment to share them. This is where we talk through the things we wish we'd done differently just for the past hour. Yeah, just for the past hour. Anything you regret about tonight, I'll start, uh, uh, I shouldn't have, I should have played the fart a third time. The rule of three is applied and we would have gotten a great laugh at it, I played the Schumer fart a third time. Can you play the fart now? Now I want to run in the N-D-A-A. (laughs) It's, Farts are always funny, there's nothing you can do. And then when Chuck Schumer does one, it's even funnier. I also think he's missing an opportunity, which is, okay, you farted. Everybody farts, right? It's a funny thing that we're like, if you fart in the wrong time, it's embarrassing, but obviously we all do it. It's like, there's not a lot of, it's a weird thing about farting, right? Like, oh, you farted that we think that's stupid and bad. I said, you do it, we do it. Trump does it, you know? Uh-huh. You have to take a shit. That's basically what you're, uh, you're, yeah, the process by which you will eventually have to shit is continuing. Yeah. That's the thing to make fun of people for when I think about it, I think Schumer should go out there and make, like, he should do a bit about it and get, 'cause you, you know. Has it been confirmed that that was actually his fart? Like that? Well, I don't think they got the lab guys on it. I don't know how it would be. (laughs) I don't know. I don't know how we're gonna get out there. It really, at this point, we probably just have to take his word for it one way or the other. Has he admitted it? No, no. - He dealt it, but he didn't smelt it. - Should be the fart guy. He should be like, "I'm the fart guy. "I'm hoping about being farty. "I'm a fart guy." - At least I'm awake. - Yeah, yeah, at least, yeah, exactly. But I think he should do an event where he talks about like gas prices. You know, he could really make something of it. I'm serious. (laughing) If I worked for Chuck Schumer, I think it is. If I worked for Chuck Schumer, I would say, turn, make lemonade. - You're farty bitch? - Yeah. - Yes. - Don't work for him, bro. You're better than that. - Let's see. I came down pretty hard on you for not monetizing Mandarin. - Oh, you regret that? Mm, no. - No, I don't regret it. - I thought that was a highlight, personally. - Oh, I didn't ask you how to say content Chinese. - You didn't, but it came out. - I know, you said it. - I said, "Shepi." - Oh, that's cool. - "Beat." - But it's like the tonal part seems to be challenging. - Well, because it's important. - It's of course, what does it mean without, what does it mean if you don't have the tonal? How does it change the meaning? - Well, so my last name in Chinese, 'cause a bi is a family name. So I took the bi off a bishop and I took the b, but it's fourth toned b, as opposed to b, right? And then like the second tone is like ma, which means numb. Right, so if you ever go to Chinese restaurant and you get ma la, that's numb hot. That's why you get the-- - Oh, the single tone pepper. - The sechron peppers. - So it's ma. So it's almost like you've lost confidence in the words. You go ma, that's the second tone. - Wow, so there you go. - He's teaching me more than you're teaching me. I don't care bro, you seem like a good guy though, honestly. - The sound effects on our first game were too long. Actually, that's been a problem throughout the night. Oh, another regret. Jeremy Allen White, we'd love to have you on the show. - I could promise you that ain't happening. - Fuck. - I lied about not writing Pokemon Go to the Bulls. - Funny. - You wrote it. - I wrote it. - Did you actually write it? - No. (laughing) - And that's our show. - All right. - Thank you so much to Desvisha and Carmen Christopher. There are 109 days until the midterms. We will be back next week with Patrick Renna and W Kamal Bell. Have a great weekend. - Love it or leave it as a crooked media production. Our show is produced by Kendra James, Bill McGrath, Kelsey Gante, and me, John Love it. Our production team includes Halle Keefer, Sarah Lazarus, Roman Borsalino, Peter Miller, David Tolls, Claudia Shang, Jay Banks, Gavin Purcell, and Matt DeGroat.
