I start out getting to some unturned stones from the previous heroin episode and then focus on the gays. We talk about the myth of trans, the lack of homosexuals in the suburbs, and the absurd notion that people in big cities are homophobic. I also wonder aloud if gay suicide is some kind of subconscious recognition they're weird. They're not evil or an abomination or anything Fred Phelps-y but like a vegetarian lion or an albino, they are unusual and that's got to chip away at you over time.
On today's heroin special we look back at all my friends who OD'd and how that relates to the modern opioid epidemic. Turns out heroin ain't all it's cracked up to be.
In this issue I try to sell you on the idea of having children because I use to be like you and my only regret is that I waited so long to have a family. Within this pitch, I also get into marriage tips like, "It's OK to have a bad year" and parenting tips such as, "You can be friends with them when they're young or friends with them when you're old. You can't have both."
Wherein the host, me, argues that we used to be much less humorless 20-30 years ago. Xenophobia was considered amusing and it was simply a given that the West is the best. To prove this, I go over some examples of anti-PC comedy from the 70s (PJ O'Rourke's National Lampoon essay "Foreigners Around the World") and use it to not only prove that xenophobia can be amusing but also that the West is inarguably superior to everywhere else in the world.
This episode was meant to be a look at the socially liberal, libertarian views of Matt Stone and Trey Parker but it quickly veers into nothing but unsubstantiated gossip about the two comedy legends.
Being a man isn't about lifting 350lbs and knowing how to replace a carburetor. It's about not being a self-hating pussy who can't wait to show his weaknesses to the world. If you can't be the man we all wish you could be, fake it.
Having fun in high school has nothing to do with where you are or how much money you have. It has to do with how much culture you can invent. Come up with stupid rules and enforce them with vigilance. Get in trouble. Make mistakes. If you can't be a human disaster when you're a teenager, when can you be? This episode focusses on my high school years at the Earl of March in Kanata and all mind-blowing idiocy we used to get up to.
When you're "cool" in high school it's like being king of the world. When you're that same guy well into adulthood, it's downright sad. This episode uses my friend Artie as the perfect example of when cool jumps the shark. Time to grow up, Arthur.
I stole this concept from Chadwick Moore. If you're white, pretend you're black for a day and see how many things could be construed as racist. If you're black, pretend you're white and see how many things could be explained away as just life in the big city. This can be extrapolated to gay (as Chadwick did), female, trans, fat, and any other group that claims victim status. It's very possible the person out to get you is you.
As an incredibly funny person, I like to riff with strangers. Over the years, I've realized about 5% of the population can riff back. 30% of people enjoy humor and then there's the 70% who are wondering why you're saying a thing that isn't true. Within the entire 95% of non-riffers there is this bizarre contingent of people who try to joke around by using random words that make absolutely no sense in a comedic context. I've written some of these down and would like to share them with you.
