Speaker 1: You're listening to Comedy Central the metaverse. It's the virtual
Speaker 1: world that's just like the real world, by which I
Speaker 1: mean Mark Zuckerberg is harvesting your dates. Are there too?
Speaker 1: Companies like Meta a k a. Facebook are betting billions
Speaker 1: of dollars on the hope that virtual reality is the
Speaker 1: future of human interaction. But as they get started, they're
Speaker 1: finding out that, in many ways, the people of the
Speaker 1: future all too much like the people of the past.
Speaker 1: Meta is launching a new tool for its virtual reality
Speaker 1: worlds after users reported virtual groping and other abusive behavior.
Speaker 1: The personal Boundary default setting will allow users to feel
Speaker 1: like there's four feet of space between them and others.
Speaker 1: Meta says this will make it easier to avoid unwanted
Speaker 1: interactions and they come on in the virtual world. Now.
Speaker 1: It comes after a woman claims she was verbally and
Speaker 1: sexually harassed within a minute of joining a virtual game. Last. Yeah, look, people,
Speaker 1: none of this is surprising. I mean, anytime a new
Speaker 1: technology has been invented, it has quickly been used to
Speaker 1: harass people. You know, right off the man discovered fire
Speaker 1: creeps were probably like, awesome, Now I can show my
Speaker 1: dick to strangers at night. But still, the metaverse was
Speaker 1: not designed for you to sexually harass others. Okay, it
Speaker 1: was designed to distract everyone from Facebook's other scandals. And
Speaker 1: what I don't understand is how Facebook couldn't read out
Speaker 1: these people before they get into the metaverse. How are
Speaker 1: these people even getting into the metaverse? Like, think about it.
Speaker 1: Facebook has information on everybody. How come they can't tell
Speaker 1: who's an Internet pervert? But then they can show me
Speaker 1: ads for crutches three days before I get hit by
Speaker 1: a car. Huh. But obviously this is really about the
Speaker 1: principle of feeling safe and respected. It's not actual sexual assault.
Speaker 1: You know, no one in the metaverse even has a
Speaker 1: but to grab. There's nothing below the waist. That's why
Speaker 1: every run in the metaverse goes to the bathroom out
Speaker 1: of their mouth. Really weird experience. I actually feel like
Speaker 1: I know where this is going, though. You know they're
Speaker 1: gonna say, well, we tried making avatars without bottoms and
Speaker 1: that didn't work, so maybe we should try one where
Speaker 1: nobody has tops either. It's gonna be just faces, like
Speaker 1: a book of faces. Nothing can go wrong with that.
Speaker 1: And'll be like, Wow, this is the future. I actually
Speaker 1: have a controversial solution to this. This is what I
Speaker 1: think meta should do. Meta should do nothing. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: said that meta should do nothing. Let sexual harassment run
Speaker 1: wild in the metaverse. Just do it, because think about it.
Speaker 1: If we can trap all the sexual harasses in the metaverse,
Speaker 1: we won't have to worry about sexual harassment in the
Speaker 1: real world. All the creeps will be at home with
Speaker 1: their VR helmets touching each other's cartoon nipples. The rest
Speaker 1: of us will just intact with actual humans safe from
Speaker 1: sexual harassment. It's a win win, huh. It's a great idea.
Speaker 1: I mean, keep in mind, this isn't actually dangerous. You know,
Speaker 1: you're not in a dark alley. You're in your living
Speaker 1: room now, your dad's upstairs, right, you know? I mean,
Speaker 1: and how did this even happen? Aren't the only people
Speaker 1: in the metaverse? Facebook executives? It feels like, I tell
Speaker 1: anybody has access to this thing. Now. Keep in mind, Trevor,
Speaker 1: we have personal space rules in real life too, and
Speaker 1: they get violated. You ever take the L train late
Speaker 1: at night, ten pm? You got a sixty nine if
Speaker 1: I just to get in the car. So we should
Speaker 1: improve that. I mean, I don't think it's a bad
Speaker 1: thing on the L train. No grunted. I'm always in
Speaker 1: like the preferable position in the sixty nine. I always say,
Speaker 1: you want to be like, hit up, Yeah, you're yeah,
Speaker 1: You're the nine. I am Yeah. I guess who's Guess
Speaker 1: who's the six? You know what I'm saying. Sometimes when
Speaker 1: we do this, I feel like I'm the sixth right here. Alright, alright,
Speaker 1: let's move on to the big political news from over
Speaker 1: the weekend. The Republican Party right now is more divine
Speaker 1: than Kim Kardashian and Kanye West. The big debate is
Speaker 1: between a small handful of conservatives who think it is
Speaker 1: wrong to try and steal an election, versus the majority
Speaker 1: of Republicans who say overthrowing democracy is just legitimate political discourse. Well,
Speaker 1: now Mike Pence has chosen aside. The former Vice president
Speaker 1: Mike Pants rebuked President Trump's insistence that Pence could have
Speaker 1: rejected the electoral College results on Jane race Sex. President
Speaker 1: Trump said, I had the right to overturned the election.
Speaker 1: The President Trump is wrong, and frankly, there is no
Speaker 1: idea more on American then the notion than any one
Speaker 1: person could choose. The American President. Oh, Mike Pence standing
Speaker 1: up to Donald Trump. Hey, look at my guy trying
Speaker 1: new things for the first time. Next week player is
Speaker 1: going to be having sex with his eyes open. But
Speaker 1: still good for Pence and it's going to be fun
Speaker 1: watching him. Endorsed Trum for re election in two years.
Speaker 1: He was right, I should have done it, and next
Speaker 1: time maybe I will. Now, as as part of the
Speaker 1: January six Committees investigation, it has been collecting documents from
Speaker 1: the Trump White House to find out what people might
Speaker 1: have been saying at the time of the insurrection. And
Speaker 1: this has turned out to be harder than it should
Speaker 1: for a couple of reasons. For one, Donald Trump had
Speaker 1: a habit of tearing up everything that he read. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and not even to hide stuff, just anything he was
Speaker 1: done with. He just teared up and thrown the floor,
Speaker 1: probably his revenge on paper for making him read it.
Speaker 1: And now we're finding out that the stuff Trump didn't
Speaker 1: tear up he sometimes kept as souvenirs. The National Archives
Speaker 1: had to head down to mar Lago to take back
Speaker 1: some White House documents former President Trump had apparently taken
Speaker 1: to Florida. According to The Washington Post, Trump improperly removed
Speaker 1: multiple boxes from the White House. To be clear, by law,
Speaker 1: all those records should have been turned over to the
Speaker 1: National Archives and Records Administration. They say that this box
Speaker 1: mostly contained things like mementos, you know, letters between world
Speaker 1: leaders like leader of North Korea Kim Jong un, for example. Oh, guys,
Speaker 1: I can't believe that Trump saved Kim Jong UN's old
Speaker 1: love letters. So romantic, and I get it, I really do.
Speaker 1: I get it, Like a lot of people keep stuff
Speaker 1: that's sentimental, like I I still keep my old letters
Speaker 1: from high school. Got one here, really beautiful as a
Speaker 1: dear Trevor, I love you. You're like a brother to me,
Speaker 1: a sweet, sweet younger brother, a real member of my family. Damn,
Speaker 1: she wanted me bad. Honestly, I'm kind of surprised that
Speaker 1: his own letters are the only thing that Trump took
Speaker 1: from the White House. I'll be honest. Like when he
Speaker 1: got kicked out, I thought he just stuff as much
Speaker 1: stuff into his pockets as he could, you know, Like
Speaker 1: he'd get up there in the White House, security would
Speaker 1: shake him and the bust of Frederick Douglas would just
Speaker 1: fall out of his pants, Like I don't know who
Speaker 1: that is, but I'm learning more and more about him
Speaker 1: every day. Fantastic guy. I think we would have gotten
Speaker 1: along great, so great. Every day Putin moves his tanks
Speaker 1: closer and closer to the Ukraine border, creating the world's
Speaker 1: most high stakes game of I'm not touching you. You
Speaker 1: can't call mom. I never touch your face, never touched
Speaker 1: your face. I don't touch your face now. Because war
Speaker 1: is bad for business and also human life, every country
Speaker 1: is trying everything that they can to talk Russia down
Speaker 1: from its invasion plans. And yesterday the presidents of France
Speaker 1: took his shots and people had high hopes for this meeting.
Speaker 1: You know, because the French and the Russians, they have
Speaker 1: a lot in common. Um for example, both have disgusting
Speaker 1: sella dressings named after them. But despite this commonality, the
Speaker 1: meeting did not go well. French President Emmanuel Macrone is
Speaker 1: in Russia. He met with Russian President Vladimir Putin in
Speaker 1: Moscow at a twenty ft long table. Thanks to COVID
Speaker 1: restrict sends. Macron believes Russia has a right to ask
Speaker 1: questions about its security and see guarantees. Putin did not
Speaker 1: offer to deescalate in that meeting. With Macron, but Russia
Speaker 1: does continue to deny any plans of an invasion. Okay, people,
Speaker 1: what what the hell is this? Why? Why are they
Speaker 1: sitting so far apart? Like I've been in zoom meetings
Speaker 1: where I'm sitting closer to the other person who, like,
Speaker 1: why do you even have a table so big? Like
Speaker 1: do you see that thing? Like? Maybe Putin isn't trying
Speaker 1: to take over Ukraine because he's evil. Maybe he just
Speaker 1: needs more space for his giant furniture. Apparently the reason
Speaker 1: for this distance is because they say they want to
Speaker 1: make sure that everyone is safe. That's what they say.
Speaker 1: And no, I'm not talking about COVID, I'm talking about Putin. Yeah,
Speaker 1: if he wants to kill you, at least with this table,
Speaker 1: he's got to catch an uber to get to your
Speaker 1: end in four minutes, your debt five minutes. Now, let
Speaker 1: demistis turn Why would you take the truth? That? So
Speaker 1: it's like counseled, No, Dwight pick, how does this work?
Speaker 1: Whoon is playing some crazy psychological mind games with mccron.
Speaker 1: Think so, yeah, French people don't know how to sit
Speaker 1: at a big table like that. I don't even know
Speaker 1: what to do. They're used those tiny little beastro tables
Speaker 1: where they have like room for one little glass of
Speaker 1: wine in a cube of cheese. That's it. Also, I
Speaker 1: can't stop thinking about the poor delivery guy who had
Speaker 1: to love that table all the way up the staircase
Speaker 1: just for that meeting, and then he had to wait
Speaker 1: five hours and take the table back down. Crazy. Well,
Speaker 1: I don't think that's how delivery works. I think we'll
Speaker 1: think about if he's playing mind games like that, he
Speaker 1: brought that table and specifically for that meeting, and that
Speaker 1: delivery guy he better not get any nicks or dings
Speaker 1: in it, because he's getting poison in the neck if
Speaker 1: he does. Yeah, I think you have a very different
Speaker 1: idea of what they do. But yeah, yeah, no, that's
Speaker 1: exactly what happened. Will agree to disagree, We totally agree.
Speaker 1: I look, all I'm say is all I'm saying is
Speaker 1: the table might be better than catching COVID, But it
Speaker 1: could also be the reason that there's a giant war
Speaker 1: because these two couldn't possibly have understood each other at all.
Speaker 1: I mean, just just listen to the conversation, Mr Putin.
Speaker 1: We can not risk another war, what we cannot skin
Speaker 1: another boar. No, no, not boars. I'm talking about foreign affairs.
Speaker 1: You're having an affair. Of course you're French. Maybe I
Speaker 1: could sit closer to you. No, I'm saving the seat
Speaker 1: for a friend. His quote is on it, but you
Speaker 1: can't hear anything I'm saying. That is interesting. Yeah, are
Speaker 1: you doing that thing where you agree because you're not
Speaker 1: sure what I said? Moscow smells like urine. Your face
Speaker 1: looks like a peach headboatox and it's only Monday. All right,
Speaker 1: let's make like the presidents of your high school drama
Speaker 1: club and moved to New York City. Last month, New
Speaker 1: York inaugurated a new mayor, Moderate Democrats and former police
Speaker 1: captain Eric Adams, And even though he's new in the job,
Speaker 1: that has and stopped him from making his presence felt.
Speaker 1: For instance, he said that he's going to take his
Speaker 1: mayor's salary in crypto, yeah, which means he's the richest mayor, poorest, richest,
Speaker 1: poorest mayor, richest, poorest, richest mayor, poorest may I wish
Speaker 1: I had taken cash mayor in the world right now. Also,
Speaker 1: Mayor Adams is a vegan. Yeah, No, I thought he
Speaker 1: was black, I know. And this week, he announced that
Speaker 1: going forward, all New York City schools would have to
Speaker 1: have mandatory vegan Fridays, which I actually think is a
Speaker 1: great idea. Yes, because Friday, I think needs to be
Speaker 1: taken down a peg. You know, Oh you're excited for
Speaker 1: the weekend. How about a tofu sandwich? Rich Now, obviously
Speaker 1: because of this decision, a lot of people are mad.
Speaker 1: Like a lot of people are mad. You have to
Speaker 1: eat me or it's not a meal. But if you
Speaker 1: ask me, there's nothing wrong with kids being exposed to
Speaker 1: different kinds of foods and different kinds of diets. And yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm talking about you kids with peanut allergies. Stop being
Speaker 1: so close minded. So yeah, schools in New York are
Speaker 1: gonna serve vegan food on Fridays, partly because the mayor
Speaker 1: himself is vegan, well is he. It's a big city
Speaker 1: scandal in New York. Mayor Eric Adams is making waves
Speaker 1: with the revelation that he eats fish. Adams is a
Speaker 1: self proclaimed vegan. Report in political New York over the
Speaker 1: weekend sided restaurant sources at a midtown eatery frequented by
Speaker 1: the mayor, who say Adams often dines on fish. He
Speaker 1: released a statement saying, I want to be a role
Speaker 1: model for people who are following or aspire to follow
Speaker 1: a plant based diet. But as I said, I am
Speaker 1: perfectly imperfect and have occasionally eaten fish. Okay, everybody calmed down.
Speaker 1: Everybody calmed down. I can feel the stress in the
Speaker 1: room right now. Everybody calmed down. I know you're angry
Speaker 1: right now, and I know you want him to step down.
Speaker 1: But give the man a chance. Yes, he's a vegan
Speaker 1: who sometimes eats fish. Don't get a twisted man. Being
Speaker 1: a vegan isn't about eating vegan. It's about telling everybody
Speaker 1: that you're vegan. So technically, this man's legit. And that
Speaker 1: is what's great about New York. We're imperfect here. We're
Speaker 1: perfectly imperfect. You can label yourself whatever you want in
Speaker 1: New York. Whether it's true or not, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: You know. That's why the vegan mayor isn't vegan. And
Speaker 1: that's why the New York Jets can call themselves a
Speaker 1: football team. You know, if you ask me, the weird
Speaker 1: thing to me, it's not that he cheats occasionally on
Speaker 1: he's veganism. It's the fact that his cheat meal is fish.
Speaker 1: I mean, if you're gonna cheat, cheat my man, cheat,
Speaker 1: eat a cheeseburger or a Pepperoni pizza. Eating fish as
Speaker 1: your cheap meal is like getting a whole pass from
Speaker 1: your spouse and using that whole pass to have sex
Speaker 1: with a fish. The total waste of a whole pass
Speaker 1: and a fish. I say, I really appreciate his transparency.
Speaker 1: And then he didn't make the fish sign an n
Speaker 1: D A. That's progress, I guess. Yeah, this is like
Speaker 1: an adorable political scandal. This is ridiculous. Let the guy
Speaker 1: eat a little bit of fish. What's next? Adams took
Speaker 1: a penny, but didn't leave a penny. He put a
Speaker 1: plastic cup in the paper recycling bin. He's keeping solitary
Speaker 1: confinement at Riker's. Okay, that one is. That one's bad.
Speaker 1: The paper cup one's also pretty bad. Yeah, that's like
Speaker 1: those are those are pretty bad. Apologized over and over again.
Speaker 1: I don't know what else I can do. The colors match,
Speaker 1: you put the you know all right. Finally, if you're
Speaker 1: still looking for a perfect Valentine's Day gift, there are
Speaker 1: a few lost minute options that you can consider. I
Speaker 1: know it's late, but you can consider these things. You
Speaker 1: can cook a nice meal, right, and if you can't cook,
Speaker 1: you can give that special person a coupon that they
Speaker 1: can exchange for a piece of jewelry later. If they
Speaker 1: promised not to dump you, huh. Or you can't get
Speaker 1: them a gift, they'll take your relationship totally new. Heights
Speaker 1: new this morning for you. With a week to go
Speaker 1: until Valentine's Day, one company in Las Vegas wants to
Speaker 1: help couples safely join the Mile High Club. It's from
Speaker 1: the company love Cloud Fitting Late Well. Couples can rent
Speaker 1: a private forty five minute flight. It comes with a
Speaker 1: private bed blocked off from the pilot with the curtain
Speaker 1: there Well. Officials say there's also a commemorative membership car
Speaker 1: and signed by the pilot himself. They also say the
Speaker 1: sheets are changed and everything has been cleaned in between
Speaker 1: flights for you. Prices for the romantic getaway start nine dollars. Wow. Okay,
Speaker 1: this is now what I expected, and I feel like
Speaker 1: it kind of defeats the whole purpose of the Mile
Speaker 1: High Club. You know, the Mile High Club isn't just
Speaker 1: about having sex on a plane. It's about having terrible
Speaker 1: six quietly without getting sucked down that toilet. That's the
Speaker 1: experience any one kind of sex on a plane. Not
Speaker 1: to mention they said this flight only lost forty five minutes.
Speaker 1: Only forty five minutes, you realize that's barely enough time
Speaker 1: to apologize for the first two minutes. And don't get
Speaker 1: me started on the fact that the pilots a k a.
Speaker 1: Mr Smiley over here. I've just got to trust that
Speaker 1: I've got privacy because he closed that little curtain. I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna pay a thousand dollars to have sex while
Speaker 1: some random dude is sitting there pretending to not pay attention.
Speaker 1: That's not a plane, it's a flying dorm room. So
Speaker 1: I mean, look, good luck to these guys, But I
Speaker 1: don't know how many people are gonna want to take
Speaker 1: this flight because there's always a chance of a crash.
Speaker 1: There's always a chance when you fly, there's a chance
Speaker 1: you can't crash, and nobody wants their obituary to be
Speaker 1: like John Sanders was killed today when his sex plane
Speaker 1: crashed into a mountain. The main thing, though, is that
Speaker 1: it just doesn't seem like it's worth a thousand bucks.
Speaker 1: It's cool experience, but a thousand dollars is a lot
Speaker 1: of money. I mean, think about it. Spirit airlines only
Speaker 1: cost one nine dollars round trip. Yeah, and they aways
Speaker 1: leave you feeling like you are so I mean, that's
Speaker 1: a pretty sweet deal. Canada America's quiet upstairs neighbor, or
Speaker 1: at least they used to be, because, as you may
Speaker 1: have heard, there is a major anti vaccine protest taking
Speaker 1: place in Canada's capital city of Ottawa right now. Now,
Speaker 1: anti vaccine protests are pretty common these days, right, but
Speaker 1: these protesters are different because their truck drivers, which means
Speaker 1: they have trucks, and people with trucks have more power
Speaker 1: than any other people. They just do. This is like
Speaker 1: a fact of trucks. Think about it. In every higst
Speaker 1: movie ever, what do they need to pull up the heist?
Speaker 1: A truck? Yeah, when a Batman villain tries to shut
Speaker 1: down the city, they need a truck. Having trucks just
Speaker 1: gives you the ability to outmuscling people who don't have trucks,
Speaker 1: and so even though n of Canadian trucks are vaxed,
Speaker 1: the small minority is still able to cause big problems.
Speaker 1: They've essentially shut down downtown Ottawa for two weeks now
Speaker 1: and If you want to know why these truckers are
Speaker 1: so fired up, well they're more than happy to tell you.
Speaker 1: What is the stuff that you can't do right now?
Speaker 1: Is as a non vaccinated person. I live in Quebec,
Speaker 1: so it's a bit more intense than other places in Canada.
Speaker 1: But look, I can't go skiing, I can't go to Walmart,
Speaker 1: I can't go to the entire I can't go to
Speaker 1: home depot. I can't go to restaurants. I can't go
Speaker 1: to bars. I can go to the gym because you're
Speaker 1: not vaccinated, have you? Is there business? Is there stuff
Speaker 1: you can't do in Canada? Now? Yeah? I'm like, I'm like,
Speaker 1: well they see, if you want to compare Canada uh
Speaker 1: to anything, it's like Hitler's Germany. And we're like the
Speaker 1: Jews say, you see, this is why we shouldn't be
Speaker 1: banning books, because now this guy thinks that the Holocaust
Speaker 1: is when you can't take a ship in the Tim
Speaker 1: Horton's I mean, even Margerie Tayler Green is looking at
Speaker 1: this guy like, dude, this isn't anything like the Holocaust.
Speaker 1: There's no soup here at all. It's actually wild when
Speaker 1: you think about it, like how many different ways people
Speaker 1: disrespect Holocaust survival is because some people are like, what
Speaker 1: happened to you didn't happen, And then some people are like, no,
Speaker 1: what happened to you did happen, And it's happening again
Speaker 1: to me right now because I can't go skiing team.
Speaker 1: But anyway, the point is these truckers and their supporters
Speaker 1: feel persecuted. And when the start said it was just
Speaker 1: a protest against vaccine requirements for truckers, but it's now
Speaker 1: grown into a wider movement against all coronavirus restrictions. They
Speaker 1: want vaccine mandates gone, they want mosque mandates gone. They
Speaker 1: want to be free to sneeze into stranger's mouths again
Speaker 1: like the good old days. But blocking traffic in downtown
Speaker 1: Ottawa hasn't done the trick, so now they decided to
Speaker 1: take things up a notch. A crucial trade link between
Speaker 1: Canada and the United States was disrupted by protesters for
Speaker 1: a third day in a row. The Ambassador Bridge is
Speaker 1: the busiest international crossing in North America, linking Windsor, Ontario
Speaker 1: to Detroit, while another border crossing in Ontario is experiencing
Speaker 1: an hour's long delay. The Ambassador Bridge sees about one
Speaker 1: quarter of all the goods that go between the two
Speaker 1: countries every day. On a normal day, that's about three
Speaker 1: d and forty million dollars worth of goods rolling through,
Speaker 1: and the impact is already being felt. Ontario auto plants,
Speaker 1: including Ford and Stilantis, reduced production over the last twenty
Speaker 1: four hours due to missing parts from shipments. Prime Minister
Speaker 1: Justin Trudeau calling for an end of the protest. Right
Speaker 1: now people in Windsor are suffering and losing their jobs
Speaker 1: because they can't get auto parts across the Ambassador Bridge. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you see, you see now, you can rarely see how
Speaker 1: much of an impact the truck protests can have. You
Speaker 1: just pack a bunch of them on a bridge, just
Speaker 1: a key bridge boom. International trade slose to a trickle,
Speaker 1: which I didn't even know could still happen, by the way,
Speaker 1: you know, because that almost sounds like a story from
Speaker 1: medieval times, you know, when the army would block one
Speaker 1: mountain pass and then your entire village would stove, and
Speaker 1: then you have to eat your horse, and then your dog,
Speaker 1: and then eventually you'd be forced to eat your own children.
Speaker 1: And then right as you finished eating your last child
Speaker 1: the siege would end needs to spend the rest of
Speaker 1: your life in therapy. Hi just feel really bad for
Speaker 1: eating my own children. Look, you can't blame Aimy yourself.
Speaker 1: That path was closed for almost two days. Like, think
Speaker 1: about it. Think about it. If these were just regular
Speaker 1: protesters on foot, the cops would have cleared them out
Speaker 1: by now. But to move a truck, you need someone
Speaker 1: who can drive a truck, which isn't as easy as
Speaker 1: it sounds. It takes months of training to be able
Speaker 1: to sit in the driver seat of a truck and
Speaker 1: not just hump the horn the whole time. It's extremely tempting.
Speaker 1: So now these truckers are finding a lot of support
Speaker 1: not just from Canadians, but from Republicans in the United States. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Grand Paul, Donald Trump, everyone on Fox News are coming
Speaker 1: out in support of these truckers, which I do find
Speaker 1: kind of funny because all of these people who are
Speaker 1: cheering on the truckers are like, yeah, shut it all down.
Speaker 1: Truckers bring the economy to its knees. Almost the same
Speaker 1: people who said we shouldn't have any COVID restrictions because
Speaker 1: the last thing we wanted to do is bring an
Speaker 1: economy down to its knees. I mean, so basically what
Speaker 1: it's it's it's not worth hurting the economy just to
Speaker 1: save countless lives, but it is to make a point.
Speaker 1: Then if you're just making a point and it's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: go for it, but you got it. But regardless, these
Speaker 1: Republicans are now calling for the truck a movement to
Speaker 1: come to America, and it looks like they might soon
Speaker 1: get their wish. Ottawa's so called Freedom Convoy spawning similar
Speaker 1: anti vax mandate protests in cities around the world. In Australia,
Speaker 1: protesters assembled outside the Capitol Building, many waving Australian flags
Speaker 1: and signs asking for freedom. In New Zealand, protesters camped
Speaker 1: outside Parliament for a second day, and in France, hundreds
Speaker 1: of protesters in Nice headed for Paris, waving Canadian flags.
Speaker 1: The Department of Homeland Security is telling law enforcement authorities
Speaker 1: it's receiving reports that a similar kind of convoy could
Speaker 1: soon begin in the US. The Department is quote received
Speaker 1: reports of truck drivers planning to potentially block roads in
Speaker 1: major metropolitan cities in the United States. The protests could
Speaker 1: begin as soon as Sunday. In Los Angeles to disrupt
Speaker 1: the super Bowl and then travel across the country to
Speaker 1: disrupt President Biden's State of the Union in d C
Speaker 1: on March one. Whoa, these guys want to disrupt the
Speaker 1: super Bowl. I don't know, man, that seems like a
Speaker 1: terrible strategy. I mean, think about it. You'd be ruining
Speaker 1: one of the lost things that everyone in America loves. Everyone,
Speaker 1: you're gonna block the super Bowl? What's your follow up?
Speaker 1: Driving over Dolly Parton? And honestly, I don't know how
Speaker 1: disrupting Super Bowl traffic is even gonna work. Right, If
Speaker 1: you're in Los Angeles on Super Bowl Sunday, you're the
Speaker 1: one who's gonna be stuck in the traffic. Come on,
Speaker 1: I gotta get to the traffic. Disruptare and come on,
Speaker 1: And not to mention, disrupting the State of the Union
Speaker 1: could also backfire on these truckers. Yeah, they're gonna come there,
Speaker 1: and then what hunk their horns? You realize all those
Speaker 1: horns are just gonna help Biden stay awake, stay in
Speaker 1: the State of the Union, strong, save the Unions. Truck
Speaker 1: Come on, Jack, it's so strong and super strong man.
Speaker 1: So yeah, these trucker protests from Canada might be coming
Speaker 1: to America, and if that's the case, we've got to
Speaker 1: prepare ourselves because a lot of things that are big
Speaker 1: in Canada they blow up much more when they come
Speaker 1: to America. You know, Drake justin Bieber, those cool weed
Speaker 1: posters that they got up there. But I will say this,
Speaker 1: the funny thing about the whole protest is that when
Speaker 1: it comes to coronavirus restrictions in America, what are they
Speaker 1: gonna be protesting? There's not a whole lot left right,
Speaker 1: I mean, coronavirus isn't over, but everyone has already started
Speaker 1: to act like it is. Businesses are open, schools are
Speaker 1: in session, and even the bluest states are getting rid
Speaker 1: of mass mandates. So I guess what I'm saying is
Speaker 1: congratulations truck drivers. You did it. So I guess now
Speaker 1: there's no need to block the Super Bowl please, unless
Speaker 1: the Rams start winning. Then you blocked that ship. I
Speaker 1: beat my house on the Bengals. Man block everything. You
Speaker 1: travel Field just blocked them. What's up? Sports? Not I'm
Speaker 1: Roy Chang, that's Roywood Jr. Roy. Are you ready to
Speaker 1: talk about sports? Due but standing on thick grass? Of course?
Speaker 1: I am still great. Let's start with the Winter Olympics.
Speaker 1: Start to mint real sports like basketball or world didn't
Speaker 1: know what? Come on the Winter Olympics of all kinds
Speaker 1: of great sports like golic skiing and a cross country
Speaker 1: skiing and alpine skiing and snow skiing and skiing snowang
Speaker 1: And this is a hate crime. That's not a hate crime.
Speaker 1: What is I hate crime is what China did in
Speaker 1: the opening ceremony. I mean, just take a look at this.
Speaker 1: The Winter Olympics now in full swing after the ceremonial
Speaker 1: started the games, Team USA walking in the Parade of Nations,
Speaker 1: but a controversial ending to the ceremony, China choosing a
Speaker 1: weaker athlete is one of the torch bearers to light
Speaker 1: the final Olympic plane. The host country has been condemned
Speaker 1: for its treatment of the Muslim ethnic minority in Shinjiang,
Speaker 1: leading the US and other nations to hold a diplomatic
Speaker 1: boycott of the games. Trotting out the wiggers like that,
Speaker 1: do you have any idea the size of the balls
Speaker 1: that takes the Great Wall like the only thing you
Speaker 1: can see from space running. I don't even get what
Speaker 1: the message was supposed to here. China's like, it's all
Speaker 1: cool here, we let them hold fire. See. See this
Speaker 1: is the problem. See, this is why the Olympics host
Speaker 1: country should be a global superpower that's not mixed up
Speaker 1: in all the allegations of human rights uses. Yes, like
Speaker 1: that country exactly like h like it's like one, Um,
Speaker 1: what's the one? Oh damn? What about No, they've just
Speaker 1: gotten the war. You know what, Let's move on. Let's
Speaker 1: let's just move on. We'll, we'll, we'll, we'll come up
Speaker 1: with one. We'll come up with one. Because there's still
Speaker 1: a pandemic going on. China's COVID crackdowns are turning the
Speaker 1: Games into a different kind of spectacle. Everyone who touches
Speaker 1: down in Beijing for the Winter Games is greeted by
Speaker 1: a hazmat suit wearing welcoming committee like this one. They
Speaker 1: help you navigate various checkpoints and not one, but two
Speaker 1: COVID tests. When an athlete a reporter test positive, their
Speaker 1: order to put on a full hazmat suit and take
Speaker 1: the way by ambulance to a COVID isolation hotel forty
Speaker 1: five minutes away, and the food, some say is inedible.
Speaker 1: One Russian athlete says she was given this tray of
Speaker 1: food for breakfast, lunch, and dinner for five days. My
Speaker 1: stomach hurts and I have huge black circles around my eyes.
Speaker 1: I cry every day. That's what you're feeding Olympians. How
Speaker 1: did a chef even go about preparing that, eating food
Speaker 1: and then throwing it up again. Land has got all
Speaker 1: the major food groups, unsalted potatoes, weird meat, red liquid.
Speaker 1: I say, bone appetit. What I can't believe is that
Speaker 1: they're making them wear hazmat suits just for COVID, so
Speaker 1: should be reserved for more dangerous situations like like like
Speaker 1: handling flesh eating bacteria, or or using a bathroom on
Speaker 1: a bus. I totally disagree with you, Roy, that's such
Speaker 1: an American perspective. When the rest of the world gets COVID,
Speaker 1: they quarantine. When Americans catch COVID, they go to Applebee. Hey, hey,
Speaker 1: badmouth America. You want, but what you're not going to
Speaker 1: do is disrespect Apple Pizza. Right, they've got milkshake, egg rolls, broke.
Speaker 1: They are so delicious and decading whatever. But enough about
Speaker 1: the Olympics. Let's talk about the Olympics of a sport
Speaker 1: that only America plays. The Super Bowl that's what I'm
Speaker 1: talking about, running Joinally, we're talking about football Cincinnati Bengals,
Speaker 1: l A. Rams on Sunday, and I'm already on layer
Speaker 1: eighty three of my famous being different. Call it the
Speaker 1: iceberg melting? What does that mean? Because it caused us
Speaker 1: so much part and the nest with global warming and
Speaker 1: stuff about that is disgusting. While you're gambling with your
Speaker 1: the justice system, Americans will be doing a different kind
Speaker 1: of gambling. The gambling cat millions literally have. Americans are
Speaker 1: expected to place a wager of some type on the
Speaker 1: Super Bowl and they'll bet and eye popping seven point
Speaker 1: six billion dollars, up seventy eight percent from last year.
Speaker 1: That dramatic rise attributed It's largely to broader access well.
Speaker 1: Since last year, ten states have launched the legal sports
Speaker 1: betting meeting. Forty five million more Americans can wager in
Speaker 1: their home state than last year. Seven point six billion
Speaker 1: dollars on Super Bowl gambling. That could buy you a
Speaker 1: lot of n f T s or maybe just a
Speaker 1: few n f T s. I still don't know what
Speaker 1: n f T s are. Here's my thing. The second
Speaker 1: thing legalized gambling, it was everywhere they won, they won
Speaker 1: gablet websites are ready to add Walma timeline, So why
Speaker 1: does every other law take years to kick in? Joe Biden,
Speaker 1: put Draft Kings in charge and your infrastructure build By March,
Speaker 1: everybody will have their own bridge. But you know, Roy,
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl isn't all about gambling and voting. Disagree,
Speaker 1: but go on. It's also about having the worst Monday
Speaker 1: of the year. Unless you live in Ohio. Cincinnati public
Speaker 1: schools are given students the day off after the Big Game.
Speaker 1: The school district tweeted in honor of the Bengals first
Speaker 1: Super Bowl appearance. Since n CPS will not have school
Speaker 1: on Monday, February fourteen, they say it's so everyone can
Speaker 1: quote celebrate what we believe will be our city's first
Speaker 1: Super Bowl victory. Should just make it a national holiday.
Speaker 1: I love this, and as someone who grew up in Cincinnati,
Speaker 1: I will also be taking next Monday off. You're not
Speaker 1: from Cincinnati. Maybe one thing Cincinnati's famous school. Uh nothing, Okay,
Speaker 1: fuck you guess. But seriously, this is bullshit. What is
Speaker 1: this teaching the children of Ohio. You're not supposed to
Speaker 1: get off the day after the Super Bowl. You're supposed
Speaker 1: to pretend you have the flu the day after the
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. By the way, Roy, do you want to
Speaker 1: come up with in my place to watch the Super Bowl?
Speaker 1: I can't goal that got coble? What by right now?
Speaker 1: Of course? Yes, I have coger. Well then what are
Speaker 1: we doing here in the studio? We should be going
Speaker 1: to Avons, my man. That's what I'm talking about. Let's
