what up theo love the podcast what up bill been a long time fan i'm sending
this video directly
from my bed with an open-ended question what do you guys think of that comedian
shane gillis
that was just let go from snl or really just what do you think of the situation
in general
thanks gang gang and you guys commented on this on david spade last was that
last night
yesterday yeah no i just i think i just answered it i i don't think it's fair i
wouldn't want to
be judged by one thing that i did yeah you know 10 15 years ago so i that's
personally something i
wouldn't do i would never do that to somebody right and it's just i think it's
it says a lot about you
as a person that you went out and did that to him is is i mean i i don't think
uh you know i mean
especially like as you're starting out as a comic or you're like you're riffing
and stuff it's just
like dude i gotta bit my act right now that like the first time i told it two
women screamed at me
and walked out and fucking then wait wait waited to tell me me go fuck myself
and all that and i got
into him with the you know and then i honed it and i honed it and i honed it
the other night same
fucking joke this woman came up to me it's just oh my god i feel like you were
talking about my life
and it's just like you know so so what am i though which guy am i am i that
fucking guy that made the
two women get fucking mad and then i told them to go fuck themselves and they
yelled at me you know
what i mean are they better than i am you know what i mean i just don't i don't
get how that works
well yeah i just don't see how there's no long-term value in it it just ends up
with a witch hunt
where we all cancel everybody and i also think snl was getting shit for never
having an asian
cast member so then he said something about asians and then right they had to
look past their own
bullshit their bullshit it's like if he gets canceled why doesn't snl get
canceled it took him 40
fucking years yeah to finally cast somebody asian that's okay but this guy says
forever and this guy
says one fucking uh drops us yeah that's it and then he's done and then that's
who he is forever
yeah and this thing i don't know the guy so i don't know who he is but i'm not
going to just watch
fucking a second clip of somebody on a podcast to be like okay i know who that
guy is and whether or not
he should and then forget about the fact that like like like like how the
punishment works like i think
how the punishment works as far as being a stand-up comedian is if you sell
tickets and
you're actually going to make some money you should never do stand-up again
yeah but if you're not
going to sell tickets it's okay for you to start a career as a comedian or
continue flailing as a
comedian it doesn't even make fucking sense yeah it none of it none of it does
but i like i said i
think it's it's it's adjusting back but it's gonna take some balls on um
corporation side to not give
into this right and why because i can tell you this because god forbid one
fucking nickel rolls out the
fucking door for a an hour god for fucking bid they don't give a shit it's all
about their brand and
keeping this fucking thing going we're not i mean i get it to one level we're
not gonna let one person
fucking destroy a 40 year march right i get that but i just think that how
quickly they just cut and
run but just to stand up and say hey look we understand we're a company that
understands that
people are people and we all make mistakes and we all do things maybe out of
context from 15 years
ago in our life and we're an understanding company i think yeah because the
world would support that but
the thing that they then let this guy go because of that is now you're validating
that this one bad
thing is who this person is right and now he has to fucking carry that like
that's going to be like
his thing and it's just like it's it's oh that'd be so tough it's horrifically
not fair it's not
that's not fair to the the fucking kid that did that to him whoever started
that it wouldn't be
fair to do it to that person because there's no fucking way you can't go back
and do this to
somebody and imagine like what if that kid's supposed to be is shane gill's
supposed to be one of the
best comedians ever what if he you know that's his what is is his destiny you
know or or he's supposed
to do something novel and you also grow you also grow the more you travel if
you have your
fucking eyes and your ears open oh yeah it's the best thing about traveling
because then you have
friends you have frames of references and then shit that people say it's funny
then you go back to
your hometown and the shit that people were saying that was making sense now
you have can step back and be like that's that's that's not right or that's not
cool to say that
well i think what it is is because there's so much shit to look at at there
that you have to go with
controversy just to get people to stop so that you get clicks on your website
and then there's like
advertising hits and the dangerous thing about that is when that's where you're
steering the ship
you're gonna go at somebody who didn't do anything right you know what i mean
and eventually you could
get them caught up under the fucking farming equipment which has happened to a
number of
comedians yeah who got caught up in in the fucking wake of that weinstein shit
and you know just to
watch all of these so-called social justice warriors to sort of just
collectively turn a blind eye to that
because they're so worried about like losing this hold that they have and it's
just like but
they're losing the hold do you feel i mean that hold i feel like is it's like i
feel like so many
more people go out to see comedians that have podcasts i think i think i think
that it's just
adjusting to where it needed to go it probably had to go past it had to go into
like a witch hunt phase
and it's going to adjust to now that if somebody does something like that that
someone can say
something and then it's fine it is far and that's not fine that the person did
it but they'll be able
to oh this is what this is we know what this is let's investigate this let's
find out what's going
on blah blah blah blah they'll be like it's i feel like it's it's going to a
rational place where it
was totally irrational before agreed and then it blew past rational and went
all the way irrational the
other side and it's salem yeah which is how you know and then it's yeah yeah
yeah it's going to end up
in a comfortable spot yeah i mean there's just no empathy it's a lot of times
what gets me is like
social justice like that like this whole like judgment it's the same people
that will say like
we need people to have space to learn and space to be themselves and figure out
who they are but then
there's no empathy for anyone when it comes to like a word or a statement or
something from a decade
ago or yeah and when you go back in somebody's past it's like you're not trying
to find out who they
are you're going back to find the mistake they made yeah and then that mistake
is who they are it's like
everything else that you did you could literally be a fucking eagle scout yeah
you know playing free
shows at an old folks home and helping out veterans and all of this shit but
one fucking time you did
x y and z that's who you are and um yeah you know i i would i i just wish that
they would like you
know if somebody does that hey we're going back 15 years i think we should go
back 15 years in this
person's life it's like okay as long as we're cool with doing it to you too let's
go and then yeah and
then we'll find them there's no fucking way you can't go back in anybody's life
dude you can't go
back 15 months in my life and not find somebody that doesn't fucking like me or
i said something
that i shouldn't have fucking said it's just like it's inherent oh i've sent a
meme today that's
fucking but everybody does yeah there's these fucking assholes driving around
like they're
these perfect people it's like no you just don't have a podcast yeah you know
but this is the funny
thing is all these fucking people are getting like this home security and all
this shit where you can
see like the fucking thief and all that they're going to be recording
themselves and they're going to be
saying shit in their fucking houses and all these regular people you're going
to find are just like
anybody else in the public eye like you you make jokes you have the way that
you joke with your
friends right it's normal yeah it you you know it's a joke they don't know it's
a joke but then
they hear your private conversation they try to take out it's like first of all
this is a private
conversation you shouldn't have been listening to yeah there's no context that's
the problem with all
the social media and everything that's a problem even with like it's like you
can see something even
on facebook or anywhere and you see something you just see that clip that bit
you're like it
gets a reaction but you don't see the timeline you so you don't have any
context of where
it plays yeah and so then people constantly react did you enjoy that clip well
