0:00 We have Peter Lou with us today. Um, and we're going to talk about some comedy related issues. Uh, obviously this is everywhere right now. You cannot get away from it. Shane Gillis's monologue on SNL has made a lot of people extremely upset. Um, I'm sure everybody who's watching this has probably seen the clip. Have you guys all seen it? >> Yep. >> Mhm. >> And I've seen the response to it. >> Right. Yeah. So, basically the the the line that's infuriated the specific line that's infuriated most people is when he says in his monologue, I haven't been to the gym in so long. I didn't know women dress like ████ now. And that set off such a chain of firestorms. And uh people are saying that I think one of the main accusations that it fuels an environment where women are harassed or assaulted. Um it's misogynist. What do you think, Anthony Lee?
0:50 >> Yeah. What do you think, Anthony? I really honest out of respect I I just want our guests to answer first. >> No, no. >> Hey, why don't you take this one? You got the best answer. You guys save it for last. >> Yeah, dude. Why don't you take this one, bro? You got this. >> All right. Uh, let's get some of the talking points out of the way. >> Oh, ████ You had You were ready. >> Get them out of the way. Okay. >> All right. >> Just because you said dress like not they are doesn't make it any nicer. All right. Go ahead, Peter. >> That's the talking point. >> Nice. Nice layup. that that's that is one of the biggest arguments right now because like on the one hand let's say uh let's say you're in the uh protect comedy comedy sacred obviously blah blah blah blah right you can kind of take that risk um they're being like yo number one he kind of said dress like he doesn't say they are so I think that's like a semantics argument on the other side though it's also very like well
1:41 that was the argument I haven't even seen that argument my feed's different than yours what' your feed say a bunch of hot chicks going we're not ████ and their titties popping my feed. >> I have >> cuz you're all the fitness. >> Yeah, cuz my Cuz my feed is like half crazy and that's the real I'm in. So all the ████ >> Wow, you're lucky. >> Hot fitness chicks are all like >> You call this being a ████ >> Or they're wearing shorts and it's like up their ass crack. Oh, I guess I'm just doing hooker workouts today. That's a lot of the content that's coming out right now, which is why like I guess like people are making fun of how they're capitalizing in it, but they're also being mad about it. >> No. And then they're like, "Hey, you know, if you really want to stick it to like take it to the patriarchy, you have to buy my active wear." >> Yeah. >> There's a sale going on right now. Actually, >> really good though. >> No, but it's
2:31 >> And you can't blame them. >> It makes sense. It makes sense. But like that's what I've been seeing non-stop is uh >> Only Fans, mostly white fitness ladies. most I think it's a white-on-white crime type of thing here. It's white ladies who are very fired up >> and they're talking about how you know what they said was wrong and buy my activew wear. That's like pretty much >> as gym guys. What's your gym take on that? Is this is there even really something to be upset about if someone says that? >> Um I could tell you what my take and it has nothing to do with what other people say >> cuz I don't really care about >> it's always a good world to live in. Yeah. I don't care about what other people say, >> but to me, I think there is a line >> like, and I've also been in the apparel design business. There's a line to me that's crossed between performance and then >> fashion like >> and ████ me. >> Oh, ████ me.
3:21 >> And so when it's performance, I think it's dope. Like you can almost have the same silhouette, same material, same tightness. Like if you look at stuff that Nike made maybe even five years ago, >> it's performance, right? Like you can like what a bob letter would wear. They need to be aerodynamic. It's tight. It needs to be supportive. But >> moisture wicking. >> Moisture wicking. But then now you have the same materials and kind of the same silhouette, but it's zero performance. So all I can say is it's ████ me. So I'm like when you cross into ████ me and I've owned a gym and I also train in a gym. I'm like, "Why are you wearing ████ me clothes in the gym?" It's like wearing to me it's like wearing lingerie, dude. >> Like, can you? Yeah, you can. But why wear ████ me clothes? >> There's a line for everybody, guys and
4:12 girls. This is how I look at it. I've seen guys go in the gym where they wear, and I always make fun of these guys. It's like either wear a tank top or they wear stringers. Have you seen stringers? Sure. >> Like the old school bodybuilding guys wear them like really spaghetti strap tank top. just take the shirt off. You know what I mean? Like what what the ████ are we doing here? That's one thing that irks me. But the other thing, too, is I see guys with crazy tiny little shorts sometimes. And even that is like, hey, nobody wants to see that either. You know what I mean? So, it's on both sides, I think, for a lot of ladies. >> Okay. >> If they wear once it gets really thin along the sides, people everybody kind of goes like, "What the hell are you wearing?" Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the argument not actually about the content? Isn't it not actually about what girls wear at the gym, but rather
5:02 >> he called them harsh joke? >> Yeah, it's the joke. >> Like, nobody actually gives a ████ about anything past the joke. Nobody's nobody's having this intellectual conversation just like this on the >> but it's making fun of the truth of it, right? It's like that's that's the point of the joke. Yeah. >> Well, is it kind of like lazy in the setup? Maybe you could say that. >> Well, to me it's the reality inspired the joke, >> right? I I 100% agree. I I understand where he's coming from with the inspiration for the joke. I think the argument of why people are enraged is the joke uh and how he delivered it, so to speak, in this time frame, not what he's actually talking about. >> No, for sure. Which is super problematic. I'm just saying. >> I didn't even know it was about his joke. I just thought like he was more so a labeler. So, this issue and outrage has been existing preh his joke. He just was able to kind of like >> like summarize it well. But this
5:52 argument has been going on for like the last 10 years almost. >> And I feel like everyone and like a lot of people collectively would be like, "Yeah, some people take it too far in the gym." Like that was like a thing that people would say and we were all kind of sane about it. But now I guess people are like, >> "Well, yeah, girls say that about other girls in the gym." >> Yeah, 100%. Like it's it's like everyone's saying it all the time. So that's why I thought when I first heard the joke, I thought it was kind of like, "Oh yeah, we've heard this premise before. It's not that crazy, you know? Like no one's going to be that surprised by it." So that's why I was kind of shocked. >> It was acted out on tires like season two or whatever. Yeah. >> And if am I if I'm single, I'm like, Shangulus, what ████ horse are you talking about? You're so ████ insensitive. But since I'm married, I'm like, why are there ████ ████ everywhere? >> These ████ ████ dude. Get these ████ ████ out of my face. I don't want to see them when I go to the gym. >> Put some clothes on these ladies. >> You know what I mean? >> Or you tell the girls, "Yeah, be empowered." And then they come in bikinis.
6:42 >> Yeah. Yeah. I think he's smart. I don't know if he like planned it, but season 3 of Tire is going to be coming out soon, so everyone's just talking about this. So more people are just going to watch these. >> That's immediately what I thought. I was like, man, it's just too easy. >> But but it's also like he's he's saying this stuff on like SNL. It's no blame on him. I don't really care. But it just like it's a very liberal show. >> It's the platform. Yeah. >> So it's like it's like part of it is when you drop like these girls look like ████ I think maybe the some of the comedy clubs that he goes to it might be fine, but on a stage like that where everyone's watching, everyone's like mad about it. And then on top, he he mentions Joe Rogan. And I think to a lot, and we talked about this earlier, a lot of like liberal like crowds, they're going to be like, "Dude, ████ Joe Rogan." You know, like they can't stand this dude. So already they're like, you know, you're ████ dead to me. Let's That's what it seems like, too. It just seems like uh the timing of everything,
7:33 the state of the world. >> What do you think about how his ex came out with that like statement? >> What' she say? >> Um she said that uh she's here, I'll just play the video. She's talking about how she came out of one of the like hardest relationships of her life. Basically, >> it was pretty >> happy with him. >> Yeah. >> Why? Cuz he >> So, it's just it's just a >> This actually >> compilation of it. >> This actually came out before the uh the monologue. >> She made a compilation of herself crying. >> Yes. >> Because of his Yeah, this looks fake. >> And then her um her caption of on it, it's like about him. I can't see it, but uh I mean she every single time she cried, she set up the camera to ████ record. I >> was about to say that's crazy. >> And one of them she like held the puppy, too. I was like I was like, "You're in the wrong spot." >> That makes me think she's ████ crazy. >> She had to set up the shots, DUDE. LOOK
8:25 AT THAT ████ She's She goes, "I'm about to cry." Yo, let me uh let me set this ████ up >> when you're so much more than someone's girlfriend. >> So much more than someone's girlfriend. Yeah. And she just talks about how >> the ████ does that mean? I never knew you before. You're with Shane Gillis. You're just Shane Gillis's girlfriend. Ex-girlfriend. What the ████ Yo, you know what the funniest? >> People are crazy, dude. Cuz everyone when something popular happens, whether you give a ████ or not, everyone has to say something about it, right? So there's a there's a bunch of performative dudes >> that love reacting to this and crying and being LIKE, "THIS IS WRONG. OH, ████ this wrong, man." >> Is it Dan Levy? Like, did you see Dan Levy's video on it? >> Yeah. >> He was just like, "Wearing shorts does not make a woman a whore." It's like, dude, you're taking it so literal, though. Like, >> being a ████ makes you a ████ >> Yeah. >> No, being a ████ apparently doesn't either.
9:15 >> They're putting up his speech and then they're just watching it and they're like, "No, MAN. THAT AIN'T RIGHT." NO. >> YEAH. And then everyone always comments, "Hope she see this this bro." >> Yeah. >> Hope she sees it. >> Cuz Chappelle made this joke like 20 years ago in his special. like a version of basically he was like he's like getting arrested and he like finds some girl and she's like she's like wearing like ████ clothes dressed like a ████ basically and he's like she's like oh just cuz I'm dressed this way does not give you the you know uh the right to do whatever and he's like and she's right she's like remember that gentleman like just because they're dressed certain way doesn't mean you're entitled to anything. It's like you you're it doesn't make you a ████ You are wearing a horse uniform though and that's like the whole thing. It's like the same >> the uniform. >> You are wearing the horse uniform though. >> And that's what I say when I'm single. I
10:05 love the horse uniform >> cuz he's allowed. >> Oh, when I'm married it's they should get rid of it. It's so obscene. >> You're like stop tempting. >> Does he make Does he make that joke about like just because I'm wearing like a police officer's uniform? >> That's the same joke. Yeah. Yeah. And then he flips it. He's like just cuz I'm wear doesn't mean just cuz I'm dressed this way >> doesn't make me a cop. >> Doesn't make me a cop. Yeah, >> it's always dicey whenever I just don't think guys are ever allowed to say that. >> I think it's a thing of when women say it on like reality shows, they call women ████ It's totally up for free game. >> When Chappelle did it, no one said anything that they were just like, "That's a great joke." >> That's also the thing. It's It's a great joke. Yeah. It's just a good fact. Shane's didn't have that. He did his on SNL and I will say the joke is worse. Now, if the joke was better, there would probably be less. >> I mean, like Chappelle's was a funnier joke and also was his special. Shane's he did it on SNL which is >> on another platform. Yeah.
10:56 >> SNL I think opening for SNL is actually way harder than people think it is. >> It's super tough. You mean it's like it's not like a warm crowd. I'm sure they have some people that like warm it a little bit ahead of time but yeah. I don't know. >> It sounds like material he was kind of working out too. >> But his material is never going to do well from that crowd. So I don't know why they keep booking him either. >> Well also >> well he's the biggest name, right? Biggest name. Everywhere he goes, there's controversy from a joke and then he gets hired again and it's like it's like >> That's true. >> It's like lowkey maybe what they want. >> When he did the SBS, he got in trouble for the SBS. >> He always gets in trouble. >> But also like now you're talking about the SBS which you never talk about. >> Exactly. >> So you're telling me this is all fake Anthony Lee? >> Every time he does something like the what was the the roast of Kevin Hart when they did the thing? Oh yeah. >> And it was like him and Kill Tony. They were getting like >> granted they were being pretty racist but >> like the people talk about it
11:46 afterwards. Yeah, they talk about >> so it's just more media. More media >> and then you watch and you're like it's harmless and they actually don't get in trouble for anything because it's not that bad. >> The it doesn't work is the problem. The cancelling doesn't actually work. It just grows a following. >> It's a media thing. >> And if I'm SNL I'm like this is awesome. Like >> yeah. When's the last time you watched SNL talking about SNL because of Shane Gillis than SNL's SNL? What do you think about the double standard people are bringing up about how like women are mad that Shane called uh women ████ or whatever? But then just moments ago, everyone was saying that about Sydney Sweeny's ad for the gambling site and that like they were policing how she should look, how she should >> The difference is it's girls calling her a ████ >> Yeah, >> I think that's the difference. He should have >> Well, it's like black people dropping the bomb. >> It's like it's within their circle. >> They could say it.
12:36 >> Yeah. >> Well, it's the girls getting mad at both things. I think the irony is the girls tell Sydney Sweeney, "Hey, put on more clothes." And then now the girls are going, "No, why can't we wear less clothes?" That's the irony of it. >> Well, I guess like the collective opinion was that she was setting women back. Yeah. >> By doing those ads >> by wearing less clothes. Yeah. >> And then now they're like, "Well, we I do want to wear less clothes." So it's like, "Wait, but then you just said told >> then it's like it's no one's business how how many clothes I'm wearing kind of deal." Yeah. Okay. >> Yeah. It's interesting. We can't agree on anything you guys. >> Probably also just like the the intention of like the outfit, it's like on the one hand, even if you look kind of like whoreish, it's like you're still like at the gym, you're trying to stay cool, so it's like maybe worth it. Whereas like Sydney's like clearly ju it's like just for sexy. You're not working out. It's just to arouse people.
13:28 >> Maybe it's the intention. >> Pretty sure the ████ me clothes is just to arouse people. >> You don't think it's for aerodynamics? >> That face, dude. Uh, no. Because I don't think any uh Olympic records are getting broken. >> When you were like studying uh I guess when you were making apparel for working out >> for bar barbell brigade, did you ever think about like, oh man, it would be way more effective performance-wise to ████ this shorts out, but I don't want to do that cuz it's going to look bad. >> Yeah, because I have my wife co-designing. She's like, "What the ████ I'm not going to make this s███." But look at all the other brands are ████ selling these booty shorts like crazy. Oh, so they you guys purposely didn't make stuff look as provocative just to >> Oh, we made we had a women's line and they it was way less provocative. We were more in the Under Armour Nike direction than it was like the Gym Shark uh like shorts in your ass direction. >> What What about um I guess the the
14:20 complex of you know you wear something like very as you would say like very ████ me. >> ████ me. Yeah. And then and then you film yourself as like some sort of gym influencer or whatever at the gym and then you also get outraged when people are looking at your ████ meme outfit. >> That's just good content though. That's just good. >> Just the same way SNL might want a very very you know uh edgy and controversial person to be a part of their show. >> That's that's his whole joke. Shane's joke, right? He was like and you catch me in the back of their TikTok videos, whatever. It's like it's it's this whole joke where you have people that are attracting attention, but when they get attention, they're like, "Ew, what the ████ about attention?" But you're the one that's like attracting the attention, >> but he doesn't say that. He doesn't He does. Yeah. He's not like the woman, you know? He >> He's the He's the him >> with the the eyes. He's very self-deprecating in that joke as well. >> He's the >> I definitely agree though. I think like
15:10 with anything the the law still is in place that if it was like funny enough and crafted well enough then you wouldn't have to deal with as much backlash but he doesn't have to be concerned for that cuz the point is that the backlash fuels him and helps him like that's every single time right now >> dude if you want to make it in comedy and you're a white guy just like be racist to Chinese people and then your career will explode >> Shane kill Tony that's the correct way and then you move on from Chinese people to like white And then I don't know what the ████ is >> Puerto Ricans. It just it explodes.
