 Today, Donald Trump said he didn't understand why Hillary Clinton left the stage to go to the bathroom when there was a perfectly good election to pee all over.

I will next week talk to you, my listeners, to thank you for a great year and I love you all. It's been a difficult year for some of us, but you came through. As always, you're the best. Thank you for supporting the show. Let's get right to it. Mikey Kaplan, Micah Fox and Frank Conniff. Micah Fox is the host of This Week in Jacken, where she invites comedians to come on and talk about masturbation. That's right. The first time they experimented with their body to the most recent and everything in between. Okay. Mikey Kaplan. Yes. His new Netflix special is Small, Dark and Dork and Handsome and Hang Out With Me is the name of your award-winning podcast. Oh, yeah. Thank you. Thank you for giving giving it an award. I won a Feldy. Thank you. It's fixed. Hang out with me and he has a guest coming up named David Feldman. Yeah, different guy. Yeah. Completely different. Common name. Very. One day I'll play on the show. The episode we did with Mark Marin five years ago where we're all going to the potties in Las Vegas. That's funny. Anyway, and Frank Conniff will be in Minneapolis opening for the great Liz Winstead, New Year's Eve. What theater is that? Oh, you know, you can go to LizWinstead.com or whatever you can find out. So if you live in Minneapolis, go to Acme Comedy Club. No, we're not there that night. Right. But New Year's Eve, go to see. I think it's the Cedar Center. Go to this place. Go to Cedar Sinai Hospital and go to the Cedar Center and go see Liz Winstead, the creator of the Daily Show. Yes. With Frank Conniff, who will also be at SketchFest in San Francisco January. January 15th. I'll be there with Trace Bell, you doing our live Mystery Science Theater movie riffing show and then the next afternoon I'll be doing John Fugelsang's show, Comedy Nation, which will be there. And speaking of John Fugelsang, Frank is a regular co-host. I'm a wacky sidekick. He is the wack, well, the wacky co-host. I would call myself the co-host. John does all the work in terms of that kind of stuff. You're the vice host. He doesn't even say hi when you walk in. Tell me everything on Sirius XM Channel. Channel 121, 2 to 5 every afternoon. My favorite, whenever I check my calendar and I see that I'm booked on John Fugelsang's show, I always go, ah, it's like that in QED. And Pod House 90 is my podcast. You can find that at frankconniff.com. It's original radio plays that I write and direct. The latest of which is called the agoraphobic action league about superheroes or too depressed to leave their apartment. I promise you it's the least action-packed superhero story ever told. Great. Well, this is heaven for me. It really is because everybody here is a virgin. Wait a second. No, this is, it doesn't get any better than this. Maybe if there were some coffee that the secretary here at Sobrez Studios would, oh, somebody just gave me the finger. Okay. I need a little coffee because I taped Mikey Kaplan's podcast earlier and so. Drain yourself of all energy. Yes. Let's do a year in review. I want to look back at the year in review. But before we get to it, because you want to look back at all the year in reviews. A year in review in review. I have to bring him up. I have to. I apologize. Donald Trump. I was watching him the other night and as you said on your show, he spins the dial. Everybody has something. He has something for everybody. And for me, it's what he's saying about the war in Iraq and how he attacks Jeb Bush and the family to his face and says during the debate that the Iraq wars, you know, three trillion dollars, countless lives lost. And to me, that's worth the price of admission. As long as you're not Mexican black, a woman, Arab, or if you love America, as long as you don't love America, he's fine. Frank Conniff. Yes. Is he going to get the nomination? I think it's possible he's going to get the nomination. From what I'm seeing, Ted Cruz is starting to do well, which, and the thing is, Ted Cruz is just the same as Donald Trump. He's just as hateful. Even he's among Republicans, he's even more hated than Donald Trump. So any one of these Republican becoming nominees is all comedy gold. You know, it's like we don't have to depend on Trump for the rest of the year if he drops out. Micah Fox. That's my name. Are you worried? What? About what? Trump? In general, is it an active state? Well, there's this while I thought I had like a jaw tumor, but it's just an extra bone. On one side or both? Well, there's just one, but my private dentist says I could grow another any day. Your dad? Yeah, my dad. Is your dad a dentist? Well, yeah, he's retired, though, so, you know, no freebies. You do have beautiful teeth. Oh, thank you. And do you floss every day? Yes. I started. You know what I started? I got a water pick. Greatest thing in the world. Yeah, here you can use that in your teeth, too. Oh, boy, that's what I thought he meant. But then. Water picks are amazing. In fact. Oh, I just realized my parents had one in their bedroom. And they're all real? It's probably just a display month. I have a much better water sports than my parents practiced. A second. Yes, well, to bring us off topics. Mikey Kaplan. Yes. Last night, we were at QED. Oh, yeah. And a Jew told us he was voting for Trump. Big, real Trump supporter. How big of a Jew? It seems big. Yeah. Yeah. And it happened towards the end of David's set. It was on my show. And David was like, can I have another minute to delve into this with this fellow? And you were like, are you serious? And he's like, yes. He's like, why? And he's like, because Islam is a dark, dangerous force. It's just a fact that no other religion is like that. And we're like, oh, no. And the rest of the audience was like, incorrect. What about these Christian things and other such? Yeah. It's very disheartening because there was an article by, I think it was Dana Milbank in the Washington Post, who is Jewish, and he attacked Trump. And then his last column was the comments that he received for attacking Trump. And he was called a kike and a yid. The Jews control everything. Say them all. And how you cannot see, if you're Jewish, how you cannot see that when they're done with the Muslims, you're black people. And then the opposite of... You would think a Hitler-esque figure might glory you if you're a Jew. Godwin's law. If you bring up Hitler, you've lost the argument. Yeah, I heard that. I didn't even hear know what that Godwin's law was. Because I did a tweet and I said that, and I was very sincere about this, I said it's now irresponsible to not compare Trump to Hitler. Because, you know, it's always just like the thing you're not supposed to do. Don't compare. But the parallels with Hitler, with Trump, are very stark. I think he wants to round people up. He wants to send them away, you know. And let me play Hitler's advocate. Seriously. That's the name of your magazine, isn't it? It's the gay Nazi magazine. Oh, I used to put that on my walls as a child. The Center Magazine Rebels. In the privacy of my own home, I watch Trump, and I giggle, because I feel safe right now. And I find him to be really funny. But how close is he to... I mean, like, how gay? You know, there's no telling now because there hasn't been an election yet. But he's talking about killing reporters. Like, I don't want to kill a reporter, they're coupling. And he wants to kill the families of Muslims, and he doesn't want to let Muslims into the country. I mean, he's just, you know... Does he really mean this? Who cares if he... It doesn't matter if he means it or not. He's saying it, and he's running on it, and he's appealing to people who believe it and who want someone to say that stuff. Yeah, usually, people will do things a lot worse than what they're saying. You know, they're not saying one thing, and they're doing way worse. If he's saying he's going to round up Muslims, what he means is like, he's just going to blast off the planet and blow everything up behind him. But here's the thing. I think, so far, the numbers are... He has a chunk of support, but he also has almost an equal number of Republicans who are like, I'll never vote for him. I'll vote for Hillary before him. And if you look at the whole voting population, there's a much smaller percentage of people who would ever consider voting for him. So I think, I imagine that he will not win, and then when a Democrat wins, he'll be like, I helped. Like, I did it. This is my plan all along. I was a Democrat years ago, and we did it, guys. Like, he'll just spin it like that. And I honestly think that could be the truth. But he's also just like, I'm making money. People are looking at me. Like, that's all he cares about. Yeah, his attention is what he loves more than anything. I don't think he might not necessarily really even want to be president, but this is like the greatest time of his life right now. That everyone in the country is talking about him, paying attention to him. The media is fawning all over him. The media... I've never seen it before where a guy, he won't even show up at the studio. They do mostly telephone interviews with him. Because of his hair. Seriously. It's a lot of work to... I would guess, but I remember when he hosted SNL, which was the best show out of 30 Rock since Hitler hosted the Kraft Music Hall. But he... That was 30 Reich. He was there the very next morning, Meet the Press, which is done in the same building. They had him for a phone interview. He wouldn't even come back. You know, he lives like three blocks away. Why is the reason you're saying? Why isn't he doing things in person? He's because the media is his bitch, that's why. No, no, it's because of his hair. I'm telling you, it takes two hours for him to get his hair ready. So he rather... Look at that hair. You know how long it... His hair, to me, every time I write a tweet about Trump, someone writes a joke about his hair. I really don't give a shit about his hair. But I'm telling you, that's why he does the phoning. I don't understand how it could take two hours to do that. Yeah. You don't think in two hours you could make it look believable? Rip Taylor got ready in a half hour. Come on. Well, let's... Can I say one more thing about Trump? Yeah. Final thing from me. I'm not going to dictate anybody else. It's like, you know, I feel like a certain kind of movie where a bad character, like an evil, like a gangster or something, like gets away with everything. And he's like, ah, and then I have a new identity. You can't... And then he's like, lives a boring life the rest of his life. And he's miserable, even though he got away with everything that he wanted. That would be like the ultimate ending if Trump did get the presidency, but actually didn't. And he's like, oh, now I got to... Oh, no. I just wanted to be on TV and say wacky bullshit. Do words have consequences, Michael Fox? I believe that they do. Nope. Okay. Well, that was fast. I guess my birds did not have consequence in that scenario. Yep. I wonder how many people are encouraged to torch Mosques because of what Donald Trump is saying. It could be. All right. Let's do the 2015... I feel like I got trapped into a soundbite. Well, Micah says Trump's going to burn some Mosques and on to the news. I had no idea that Micah Fox was hosting a Draw Muhammad contest this week. Well... That actually is going to be a lot of fun. Save the drama for Muhammad. Okay. January 7th... I don't mean to brag. I don't mean to brag. But on January 7th... I'm not bragging about this, but on January 7th of 2015, two gunmen, Said and Charif Kouachi, attacked the Paris offices of the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, wounding 11 and killing 12. That was a horrible, horrible thing that happened. Yes. And amazing that one of them was killed without being wounded. Yes. Good point. My God. You're right. Wounding 11 and killing 12. Very confusing. There's different people. Got it. Now on board. Oh, okay. But we're going to play a clip of what I said on January 6th. I was talking to Frank Conniff. Listen to this clip. Can you play it, Alex? I don't want to hear my quote, whatever. Hey, Frank. How you doing? Hey. Hey, David. Great to be here in January. It's January 6th. It's kind of unseasonably cold. Hey, I have a bad feeling about this Charlie Hebdo. I think three gunmen... This is tomorrow. Three gunmen are going to shoot up Charlie Hebdo, wounding 12 and killing 14. Really? Wow. I wish I had a joke about that. Well, I don't think it's funny. We should have made... Let's just pray I'm wrong. That was the clip from... I said that on January 6th, and I got the numbers wrong, but I did get that right in a way. David, this is amazing. A powerful gift. What are you doing with it? And where were you on the next Paris attack? Anyway, that's just an interesting clip. I predicted that a glamour magazine would get shot up. I predicted that shot magazine would get glamoured up. Could that mean a thing? I predicted we'd get glamour shots. How do we play word ball now? We're playing bird wall now. On February 26th of 2015, marijuana use and the possession of up to two ounces of the drug became legal in Washington, D.C. Micah Fox. We hold people accountable on this show. On February 26th, marijuana use of up to two ounces of the drug became legal in Washington, D.C. You were on the show February 20th. Do you remember? I'm going to play a clip now. It's a little hate. Yeah, oh yeah. I mean, you got this completely wrong. Alex, can we play the clip of Micah Fox? Now, Micah, Christmas had been over for what? Two months? I think it's important to keep the spirit around. But I mean, you still have your Christmas decorations. That's right. I'm not even Christian. But I think that's the lesson that we should really take away from the holiday. That everybody. Yes, Christmas is in your heart, not in a religion. On March 2nd, the New York Times reported that during her time as secretary of state, Hillary Clinton was using her personal email for official business. House Republicans began an investigation. This was March 2nd that we became aware of this. Was I on the show? You were on the show March 3rd, the day after. And I predicted that yesterday. Oh, can we do the clip? Let's play the clip. So, yesterday, I think Hillary Clinton sent a business email. No, a personal email from a business account. That's what I think happened. And that's that was the clip. And that was amazing that you got that. How did you get that right the next day? I don't know. I wasn't really listening. And I was part of the mainstream media mob that predicted that because of this, Hillary Clinton's campaign would be over by the end of the year. That is actually what a lot of mainstream media people were giving the impression of, that this was going to doom her campaign. And guess what? That didn't turn out to be the case. You're a Hillary supporter. I am. And I'm also, I also hate the mainstream media, but... But you're doing our benefit to keep Hillary honest, aren't you? What benefit is that? I never heard about that. The 29th of... January, it's on that piece of paper. Can I have this piece of paper, please? On January 29th to 7 p.m., Frank Conniff, John Fugelsang, David Feldman, and somebody else. Judy Gold. No, that's, I'm at Carolines. Kind of this week. Oh, by the way, I'm at Carolines with Judy Gold. Well, by the way, that benefit, Hillary is very upset about that, as someone from Bernie Sanders' campaign told me, as they read. That joke makes sense. January 29th, the QED in a story at 7 p.m., we're doing a benefit with John Fugelsang, and you're going to be there. And who's the benefit for? It's to keep Hillary honest. It's to raise money for Bernie Sanders. Oh, it's a Bernie Sanders benefit. Well, you know, stage time is stage time. I'm sorry, it's for Trump. Stage time is stage time. So are you willing to admit who you want to vote for? Or... Sure. Who would you vote for? I don't know yet, though. I'm going to write in Micah. Yeah, thanks, Micah. I'm going to write in me, too. Yeah. You haven't made up your mind? No, I mean, I guess I haven't voted in a very long time. I'm going to be honest. I've lost a lot of faith in the system, and I usually forget when election day is. First Tuesday in November. You know, but every year... Yeah, it's a different, yeah. And, but, you know, I guess it'd be Hillary or Bernie, but I don't know yet. You've lost faith in the system. Yeah, I don't... Yeah, ever... Well, Bush stole the presidency 2000, and it's been a shit show since then. Yes. It was a shit show before then, but it was really a mockery then. And I was just like, you know, I wasn't, like, allowed to vote yet, but I was just watching it like, come on. I thought they gave the vote to women in the 20s. Well, yes, but I was under 18. Not in 2000. Well, let me get these facts back to you, and I'll... That was the first one you could have voted in. Wait a second. Damn it, maybe it was my fault. Yeah. Wait a second, you were 18... No, I guess I was, and I guess I could vote, and I think I did. Do you know that my career was over by the time you were, like, ready to start yours? Yeah, and look what we've done with ourselves. When was your first time you did comedy? Stand up. I did it once with, like, and then didn't do it for a long time, but it was in, I want to say, 2000. Wow. No, 2003. That's what it was. Okay. Yeah. And then when did you start doing it, like, more seriously? Like 2006. Okay. Well, we're glad you did. Thank you. And then when did you start doing it, like, more comedically? Oh, you know, somewhere around last year. Yeah, you're good. Christmas is this Friday. Uh-huh. True. Yeah, or Saturday, isn't it Saturday? No, it's Friday. Oh, it's Friday. I'd say three Jews had to tell you, Frank, not when Christmas is. Uh-huh. It's in your heart year-round. See, that's why I have a blockage. Right. I know it's Christmas. You should really go to the hospital, though. Can you take out the Christmas beard for my heart? I think it got grinchy in there. What is a perfect Christmas for you? Oh, for me, a perfect Christmas is one where I'm not really thinking about it, being Christmas or the holidays. And the thing for me, Christmas Day is not a problem. Like, I usually go see my brother and my nieces and nephew. And it's very pleasant. It's everything leading up to it that I have a problem that triggers my tendency to be depressed anyway, kind of gets exacerbated by the Christmas season. Although this year I've been okay, though. Mike. Doesn't sound like a blockage at all to me. Perfect Christmas. I like being with a loved one and watching love actually a thing I have never done. Oh, God. I was like, ugh. But we'll do this Friday. No. Or won't. Well, you know what? You should know what's out there. I don't know. Did you poison wells with your family on Christmas Day as a Jew? Of course. Did you do that? We were usually too sluggish after drinking children's blood. What's your favorite type? What do you like to do on Christmas? Well, I guess I take my lottery winnings and I fly away. And I don't tell anybody. Every year. Well, this is an ideal Christmas. Okay, the perfect one. Right. Perfect Christmas. What's the worst Christmas you ever spent? Oh, I got last year. Last year was pretty bad. What happened? I like got into a fight with my boyfriend at like his friend's party and that's weird as hell. You know, and I was like, oh, I don't even celebrate Christmas. This is bullshit. Favorite Christmas song. I'll tell you mine. Okay, you can start first. Do they know it's Christmas? Seriously. You can start first. I can do the one about the famine. Oh, isn't that a Passover one? That's one of the plagues. Oh, all right. But do they know it's Christmas? Do they know it's Christmas? That's what me and my boyfriend are going to fight about. Do they know it's Christmas time? Yeah, that's nice. That's my favorite Christmas song. What's your favorite Christmas song? Oh, yeah, that one. What's your favorite Christmas song? Oh, I like a lot of them. I like Carol of the Bells. Of course you would. It sounds like one, zero, one, one, one, one, zero. What is this? The one that goes, that sounds like it's digital. One, zero, one, one, zero. It's digital. He's a robot. I like things. One, zero, one, one, zero, one, one, zero. One, one, one, zero, one, one, zero. Guys. What's your favorite analog Christmas song? That would be Christmas from Mike Kaplan. This would hurt my feelings if I had any. Come on, guys. What's your favorite analog Christmas song? I guess the one that I like, can I say, I like Least Little Drummer Boy. That one doesn't do it for me. Yeah, and I usually like drum things. Yeah, drums are good. I like Silent Night. That's kind of nice. And Frank? Well, my thing is I don't like any of the religious ones. I like the secular Christmas songs. And I really like the Christmas Waltz, which Frank Sinatra and the Frank Sinatra Christmas album, by the way, is a really good album. And I like Let It Snow and Jingle Bells. No, no. I like the ones that are like Let It Snow. I think that's by Jimmy Van Eusen and Sammy Kahn. You know, it's like, I like the Christmas songs that are written by real songwriters. And they're just good songs. Not you phony Christmas song, Hex. Well, they're all written by Jews, actually. White Christmas being the most famous example. So, yeah, those... It was supposed to be airing Christmas, but... Like, the Christmas Waltz is like very jazzy, and you know, it's got it swinging around. Oh, like the Charlie Brown Christmas Waltz. Yeah, that's great music. I totally agree. Do you think you'd like it if you didn't have it like accompanying the movie growing up? No, I honestly think I would like... I would go and while we're talking. Keep talking. Go ahead, Frank. I would like the Charlie Brown Christmas movie, regardless, music, regardless of whether I'd watch the... There's no way to prove this, Frank. I think if you know me and my musical taste, I think I could prove it. Well, we'll never know. Does it bother you, Lucy? Does it bother you that we're alive's name names before the House of American Activities? That does bug me. But you know, I'm a fan. I enjoy the work of several people who sang like canaries during the... Hey, Burroughs, one of the greatest comedy writers of all time, name names at the House on American Activities. Butch Schollberg, who... And then he went on to write On the Waterfront, which is a movie I love, which is a movie that completely justify... Aelia Kazan, another informer, that completely justifies giving testimony and writing on your friends. Do you know On the Waterfront is a movie that only two other movies have done the same thing that that movie did? Do you know what that thing is? What is that? One All-Five of the top Academy Award categories? I don't think that's true in the case of On the Waterfront. Fair enough. One also, the sixth best turncoat. What's the movie that I get confused with On the Waterfront that's older? Well, I can tell you, being the loser that I am, I know the two movies that have won All-Five. Let me see. Okay, there are three. There are definitely three. Gone with the Wind. Nope. Nope, not gone with the Hurray. What are the two that you know? The two that I can tell you for sure. It happened one night. That is the one that I get confused with. Clark Gable, Claudine Colbert, director, Frank Zappa, screenwriter Robert Riskin, and then also... Frank Zappa? No, Frank Capra. It did not like that. And the Italian Mothers of Invention. And also One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. And also Silence of the Lambs. Really? Yeah. Oh, there was no Best Actress. Oh, you're right. No. There was. Yeah, you're right. You're right. Jody Foster. They didn't want to use her Best Actress at that time. Oh, come on. These are nice people here who are much more advanced now about those kind of things. Yeah, I always get confused on The Waterfront and it happened one night because there are movies that I haven't seen. Both are great movies. I recommend both of them. Worst commercial that they repeat over and over is that Effing Lexis commercial. Any commercial where someone gets a car for... I've never even heard of that. Even... And I've even known some rich people. I don't even hear of them doing that. Here, honey, you didn't want to help make this decision. You don't want to know anything about this huge purchase. And yeah, if you're like... I think rich people don't... You know, like, they're probably into like more elaborate things than just putting a bow on top of a car. You know, in handy. No, this car is going to drive us to your new helicopter. But here's the thing I don't understand. It's the same Lexis commercial, but don't they change the model of the Lexis each year? Is it a different... Probably, yeah. I'm sure they do. Same family, though. Rich, rich, rich. Yes. Is it? No, I don't know. They trade it in every year. But I sit there with, you know, the ice cream on my belly and I just want those people dead. Yeah, it's horrible. I just want to phone in a drunk. Christmas season in general is a good time to not watch TV or listen to the radio or leave your house because you'll have to go into shopping malls where you'll be reminded of everything. A question for the Jews. Yep, I'm ready. Okay. Frank, let's see if you can get the correct answer here because you're the only Gentile. Question from the Jews. From the Jews. Let's see if he gets the right answer. When is it... Which is worse to go to a Chinese restaurant? On Yom Kipper or Christmas? I don't know. I have only, in LA, I used to be quite fond of going to a Genghis Cohen restaurant on Christmas Eve. But I've never been to a Chinese restaurant on Yom Kippur, so I wouldn't know that. The best time to go to a Chinese restaurant is on Yom Kipper. Why? Say it, you anti-Semite. The answer is no Jews. Yes, it's a beautiful Jew. Oh, you see, I'm so out of the Jewish group. I didn't even know that that... I know it. I thought maybe that's the day they do go to eat. You know, I didn't even know that. I mean, you'll get the secular Jews who don't care about fasting. And have no love Chinese food, which is a perfect venn diagram of Jews and Chinese. And the worst time to go to a Chinese restaurant? Probably when they haven't had any new food deliveries in a while. After the apocalypse. Christmas day. That's a bad time to go? Yes. Why? Jews. Oh, okay. A lot of Jews at Chinese restaurants. Yeah, I'm aware of that. You know what, though? That's when you should go, because the people who are going to be so annoyed by the Jews will be happy to see them. That's why I've enjoyed going to Genghis Cohen. They treat me... Extra crispy noodles for this Gentile. This is how I ordered a Chinese restaurant on Christmas day. I would like to first send back the spicy tofu. And then I should... You should have never let me order that, by the way. Then we should... Do you want to try sending back? Should we split sending back the veggie dumplings? That's great. We're... Yeah, Christmas is a tough time of the year, right? So then on March 3rd, I don't know if we're still doing this. Yeah, well, Benjamin Netanyahu addressed Congress at the invitation of House Speaker John Boehner. Yeah, I remember that. What was the... This year? What was... I was asked... John Fugl saying, asked me what the big story was. Gave me some choices. Gay marriage? Oh, no. All right. That was a big story. Oh, I thought you were proposing. Oh, yeah. And what do you want to do? What do you want to do? I think you and I would be compatible. Yeah, I think you and I would make a good husband and husband. Mike, this is not the time to be demure. Oh, no. No, thanks. Oh, no, no, I meant go for it. Oh. Gay marriage. What was the big story for you? Rachel Dolezal. Dolezal for the win. That story of the year. She's the perfect intersection of major stories. She's the Caitlyn Jenner story came out and everyone's like relating, you know, because she's a white woman pretending to be black and so isn't maybe Caitlyn Jenner just a man pretending to be a woman? Who knows? And then it's also. But that's not the Dolezal story isn't interesting without the Caitlyn Jenner story. I disagree because it also brings up a lot of interesting conversations about race and about blackface in general. What does it mean to be black? So without Caitlyn Jenner, it's highly interesting and the fact that she was president of her chapter of the NAACP and they were fine with it until she was outed. How about the fact that her parents sold her out and that was the worst part of the whole thing? Most interesting thing about this is how it exposes big makeup for the frauds that they are and the lies they've been perpetrating on women for centuries. Centuries? Mike, I wouldn't expect a man to understand this. I do think it's a more interesting story but I don't think it's as important. So she was the woman I believe from Seattle that she was president? Yeah, she was in Tacoma or? Yeah, somewhere in the Northwest. Yeah, and she was head of her NAACP division. She taught African-American studies as well, is that true? She studied that in college and I don't know, I don't remember if she taught it, but she also taught African hair braiding techniques. She was really, she knew her stuff. Her hair looked great. If race is a thing you can become, she did it. She also did have like four black siblings. They were adopted. Yeah, they were. Oh, okay, yeah. I mean, that she was raised in a house with black family members, like you know, not biological family members, but culturally speaking. No, yeah, that's true. Once you pretend to be black, you won't go back. So wait a second, I kind of defend her. Rachel Dolezal? I've been pro-Dolezal since the get. Well, actually, because I haven't followed it as closely as you, but I just thought she was a punchline, but now that you talk about this, she, and was she thrown off the NAACP? Yeah, she was. I mean, there was a lot of bad publicity that was not for the advancement of their cause. They had no choice, but they did not dislike her. There's still a lot of people there who will sing her praises. She was doing important work, obviously. She turned a lot of white people black in her work. Obviously, this is a very touchy issue. Black people and how that feels to have their culture. What does it mean to be black, answered by four people who are definitely not black? That's the main issue is that the job that she was doing was, if everybody knew, once they knew, they're like, oh, probably a black person or the question of what is a black person is an important question that people who are definitely black have the most say in, I would say. So you're not defending her? I'm not attacking her. I don't know her and her intention. And because I am not of the relevant community by almost any means other than Jews are and oppressed people in some ways that I'm a fortunate person. I'm a privileged person in so many ways in my appearance and my life circumstances that the point is if you could become another race, it doesn't mean that you and your family and your circumstances like there's so many things that go in that get wrapped up in race and class and economic and social status and geographic things. And so many things that if the criticism of her is like, hey, you're just coming on and getting the good stuff, potentially, I mean. Yeah, it's hard enough for black people to get a job and now you're taking the one guaranteed job. But I think it would be totally cool of her and there'd be nothing wrong if she, for anyone who's white or any race can just, if you want to embrace black culture and have black culture all around you and have all the things you be into kind of like that, which is actually kind of what our society is, is just all of culture almost is things developed by black people that got assimilated into the mainstream. But if you want to do all that and you really want to be so immersed in black culture, I think that's fine. It's just don't say that you're black. Well, and there's a lot of controversy there too because she applied for scholarships as a minority, which is like. That's questionable. It's beyond questionable. It's like incredibly unfair. And but you know, like, I don't know, sometimes like she denies that that happened. And I think some of the evidence is a little muddy. I think I remember thinking that it was real that she did do that. She went to Howard University, which is traditionally a black college. And so I think there is a question here of not did she steal it. I think she has some kind of mental issue where she thinks she is black. She is not faking this. Like when she was at, there's that famous sort of, you know, clip of her being asked, like, are your parents like she was at something very specific and easy and she was like, didn't seem like she could answer. And her parents are the fucking worst. You know, I think we can just establish that that whatever her background was growing up with these people was just awful. And this is kind of how her dysfunction manifested itself. And there are far worse ways that something like that could matter. But the thing that really put it over the edge was when it came out that she was at one point, she was married to Robert De Niro. What was your big story of the year, Frank? Well, I don't know what my, I didn't personally have a big story this year, but from what I'm, some people are saying, it might be the climate change summit in Paris. You know, maybe ultimately in the long term, that might, because it's hard in the year, when you're living in the year, it's hard to say what is the thing that's going to have the most far reaching consequences. Trump is obviously as a comedian who does topical material. He was probably the person that I talked about more than anything else or did more jokes about. Oh, I thought you were saying that Trump was a... Trump as a political comedian, Trump, yeah. But, you know, so, you know, for me, doing, being interested in politics the way I am and doing comedy about it and tweets about it, the 2016 primary, the Republican primary was kind of, I think, what I was most involved with. But I think that there's... Go back to the climate change. Yeah, I think that the climate change summit, though, may be, you know, when they look back at this year, they may say that was the thing that happened that had real... I'm hoping that that's what happens, that they look back and say that's what had real historic significance. And by the way, in the Democratic debate on Saturday, there were no questions about climate change from the moderators. And she, Martha Raditz, asked them about their spouses and didn't ask about Planned Parenthood or reproductive rights or climate change. So I think it's just an example of how frivolous the media is. Yeah, you know. Mikey Kaplan? Gay marriage still. I'm still on gay marriage. Okay. I would say... Oh, do you want me to talk about that? Yeah, I would say you're... I would agree with you, but I have something... I'll tell you what mine is. We were talking about gay marriage last night, but he said no. It's kind of what I did with you earlier. It's not that funny. No, I like it. It's funnier when it's not him, though. I'm fine either way. You know, I was talking to a friend about having sexual urges and not being able to fulfill them. It must be very difficult. I'm pretending to be straight here. Okay. To have homosexual urges and have to keep it under wraps all the time. And until gay marriage... For me, what gay marriage does is it's not that they're able to get married. There are some things we talked about being able to visit, your loved ones and the will and all that, but it's the state saying it's okay to be gay. It's sanctioning how you choose to love. That's what was lost on me until recently is that it was the state saying it's okay to be gay. I didn't... I mean, that is... For me, it's more the practical things that if you're not married, then in order to have somebody else be your power of attorney and be able to visit you and inherit your things and not pay... All the logistical bureaucratic things that straight people who can get married take for granted. I don't even care about... Doug Stanobe used to have a joke about he's like, should gay marriage be a thing? And people would be like, whew, and he'd be like, no, no marriage should be a thing. Like marriage, why... And then there's funny things. But I don't care specifically, but if there is marriage, then it has to be fair. If two people can do a thing, then any two people or three. I think it should be next. Right. So... Multi-marriage person marriages. The story for me of the year was... Black Lives Matter's interrupting Bernie Sanders, because it forced me to really think. Sure. You're like, I like both of these. But they don't like each other? I still to this day say that that was a bad move on the part of Black Lives Matter to do that. Oh, why? Why do you say that? Because I think it's... Of all the people in the world who are the problem, if the issues that Black Lives Matter are into is important to you, of all the people in the world who are your problem, Bernie Sanders, like is way down on that list as far as I'm concerned. And it's just counterproductive for the left. And the left has a history of doing this, where they just circled the wagons and fired at each other. And I didn't really see what was productive about that. Well, it changed me because I had that for exactly what you said. But then I talked to people and what I realized is racism, what I've learned this year is that racism is different from class warfare. While Bernie is saying the things that really sing to me about the richest 1% income inequality, there's a separate issue of race that white people don't always get. And it's been evidenced... I agree with that, but I don't think protesting Bernie Sanders is the way to express that. Right, but he did then address the issue of race. He wasn't really talking about race. I know this is... Earlier, Mikey and I were talking... He was the only one that was maybe going to listen to them. Do you think that was it? Well, I think that you had said on your show about a comic, who why are you always talking about race, it's... Oh yeah, Hari Kandabolu. Yeah, he's a bit about why... People always ask me why are you talking about race so much? He's like, that'd be like asking a drowning man, why are you always talking about life preservers? Right, and I have to say that for me this year, I kind of am taking back something I said about seven years ago. I gave an interview with a book called Satteristas. And I said... I have yet to be considered a Satterista. Yes, and I said, and I take this back now, I said, you know, I'm tired of hearing women talking about being women, and black people talking about being black, and French people talking about being... Can't we all just talk about being me? Yeah, right, and I was wrong. I just didn't get it, you know? I wish I could take those words back. I think... Then again, you know, when I'm in the clubs, and somebody's up on stage who is gay, and talking about being gay, there's a part of me that goes, can you talk about something other than being gay? Well, but it's all dependent on if you're being... Are the jokes, yeah. Are you funny? If you have really funny stuff to say about being gay, or being black or whatever, then, you know, then say... I mean, we all, in the 80s, doing comedy, I mean, there were a million, like, hacky black comics who weren't funny. In fact, one of them was named Hacky Black Comic. She was, and he's currently... That's why I keep getting rejected every time I try to use it as a username. You know, but when someone is funny, talking about who they are, whether if they're black or if they're gay, then, or if they're a woman or whatever, then please keep talking about that because you're really making me laugh. Like, look at, you know, Kamau Bell is an example of a person that, when people ask me about, you know, hey, what do you think about this thing that relates to being black? I'd be like, what, look at, listen to Kamau. He probably talked about it because he just, I mean, he talks extensively about, like, things in, you know, new, original, smart, different ways every time. You know, every time I see him do comedy, or, you know, when he had a show. And like, there are, so there's people, like, it's just, it's hard to do comedy. You know, like, look at a thousand white guys doing comedy and the most of them are probably done. Yeah, just look back through your experience and then think about how many of them are, you know, brilliant and original compared to how many of them are talking about things that other people of their type have talked about in ways that are equally, you know, not to your liking or what. But you don't know, yeah, obviously you don't care. Like, you know, you watch an open mic full of, like, one woman and nine guys and you're like, the woman, nah, she wasn't that great, but there was like eight guys that weren't that great. But you're like, looks like women aren't doing it. You know, people just have, you know, the, whatever, availability heuristics in their brain kick in and, yeah. What's heuristics mean? It's like a way of, like, the availability heuristic means that you take what's available to you, not taking into account what you're not seeing. Like, so people being like, vegans, they're always telling me that they're vegan, but they don't take into account the fact that there could be a thousand vegans that didn't tell them because they didn't tell them. But that's not true all vegans tell you. No, Frank! And the movie, the heuristic rats? Yes, that's... Tell me what that, I never saw the heuristic rats. It's all about the shit you didn't sit on. Micah Fox. You're nailing it. You're in two for two. That is your name. Female comedians. Oh yeah, let's dig. What's the deal with that? Why can't they be men? I can't have one. They can. They can. Are we doomed, are men as comics doomed, eight years from now? I think you should be. I would not have a problem if, like, for just starting today, I didn't hear another man comic for, like, a year. I think that wouldn't hurt comedy at all. Go on. I would be very comfortable. I wouldn't miss it. We'd all fill in the gaps. There'd be a lot of great entertainment. And yeah, you guys have had an opportunity to talk. You know, I don't know if you're doomed, but I wouldn't have a problem if you were. Micah, I'll take it from here. So think about women. What? Yeah. Well, I'm up against this. I, there's a relationship I have with a very special friend, woman, daughter, whatever. She's listening and she wants a title, David. Well, friend, woman, daughter. How angry should a woman in comedy be given? I mean, I think everyone in comedy is either, like, really angry or ridiculously happy to, like, to come up with jokes. You're the one person who made me say that. To even want to do this, you'd have to be angry about a lot of things to the point where now you're like, how do I make people listen? Oh, by being funny. Now, you know, move. Right. I think. Describe the marketplace to me. Is there a? Well, it is a place. Sorry. I'm not going to do it. Just go on. Many fruits? Right. Yes. Thanks. Great. It's where you can get letters of transit to get out of Casa Blanca. That's just like love, actually, that movie to me, because I haven't seen either of them. Oh, you haven't seen love, actually? No, I have. All right. Okay. Yeah. You're our woman after all. Yes. Yeah. I mean, men are not as funny right now as women. I'm just patronizing. Okay. I was like, I don't think that's. When you should be matronizing. He loves it. I got him. He loves it. That was great. Well, but yeah. Well, there's never been more comedians, period. And now there's never been more access to people with different web series and podcasts and Twitter channels and tumblers and books. And I'll keep using my fingers and counting things up. And then when I run out of fingers, then, you know, anyway, but so we have so much people are like, people are like, you know, there's no good TV shows. Some people, people say things like that, or there's no good, this or no good, that compared to 20 years ago. Look at, we had all these and then they name like the best things that came out in a 10 year period. But like Frank said, with like, you know, picking the best thing of the year, when you're in the year, like we see a thousand things now at once, that in 10 years, like there were so many horrible TV shows in the 80s that we just don't think about because we don't remember them because they weren't good. They weren't memorable. So who cares? Same thing. Like now you could name, you go out every night and see a thousand comedians in the course of a year in New York City and be like, man, a lot of them, a lot of male comedians are no good. But then, you know, in 10 years, we'll be like, who are the best comedians then? And you won't remember the bad ones. It will always be men. There are so many more bad male comedians than bad, like straight male comedians, straight white male comedians than any other type. For I did not, that was David saying and mocking me. No, go ahead. What? That there are, that men aren't as funny as women right now. Well, Alex, Brazil and I, Brazil and I have been talking about this. And when we go to comedy clubs and watch, it's usually the woman who we end up being fascinated by that there. Why is that? I have a theory. Go ahead. Micah, do you want to tell him my theory? You know, I think you say it better. Well, here's the thing that, one thing that happens in comedy, like in the past, you know, sort of decade or so, is that like diversity has been, you know, desirable in a way that. Identity comedy has supplanted just a white guy who's clever. You know, in my case, it's a secret identity. What do you mean by fascinated? It just seems that women are more interesting to watch. Well, then again, I know, but also, and you'll back me up on this, that like when you're on stage, what the thing that you really want from an audience member is not necessarily laughter, but just them going. Fascination. I'm fascinated by what I'm looking at right now. People are fascinated by porn, too. They're still. Oh, wait a second. I was, that's what I was talking about. Yes, I thought so. I always like watching the woman in porn. Yeah, I legitimately, I think there are still a bunch of, you know, say like, I'd say most bookers are male and historically, like male bookers have probably been sexist to the point that they're like, we can only put one woman on the show. I would say it's true of female bookers, too. Okay. That bookers in general have been like, oh, like people are used to like the male, the straight white male is like the default. So like, we're going to have a bunch of those because there's so many of those. So we'll have, you know, one person like on premium blend, they would have always once like white dude, then they would have like a black person or a non-white dude. And then they'd have a woman. Then that's where they're like, but there's so many men, so that we have to have them. It's the curly fry in your basket of regular French fries. And I think what a woman is going to come up against. Are you impressed with my metaphorical? What a woman is going to come up against is a booker going, oh, we have a woman already in the show. Yeah, but and if they have, if they only have in their mind, and I'm, you know, logistically one spot for a woman, then theoretically it should be the, if there are so many more funny women, then there is one spot. So it's going to be a super funny woman. So that's why you would see a funny woman on a show if there is only one. That makes sense. Sure. I don't disagree with that. I did the math. I'm a man. Yeah, go ahead. No, you go ahead. I was clearing my throat. So Trump, can you understand how men are threatened by losing? Like we were on a perch and now we're losing it. Yeah, you should be terrified. You should be goddamn terrified. We're, you know, like you had everything. You have nowhere to go but down. Why wouldn't you be scared of that? You have everything. You're teasing me, but it's. No, I'm being completely serious. I don't think you should be terrified. I think you should suck it up and just march forward like we all do. You know, but yeah, you're going to lose some shit. You're going to maybe lose the White House. You're going to lose some seats in Congress. You're going to have to go to a woman as your doctor and she's going to stick her finger up your butt for an exam and you're going to have to think about that. That sounds better. Can you give me an address? Right. You joke, but, you know. I mean. I, well, my, my, I do have a female doctor and she did stick her finger on my butt and now she doesn't write, she doesn't call. Her handwriting was anyway. So, if so, if you're a, how does a man cope with this? By being glad for progress. How do you deal with your sense of privilege? Who are loss of privilege? Well, you buy guns, David. You got to stock up on some guns and take your privilege and move it out into a shack in the woods and keep your nuclear family like it was. And I don't know, start over somewhere with a new civilization. I mean, what do you know? Just a bunch of dudes. Or, or, you know, you could just keep working hard and maybe you won't get some of you won't get as far. Which is what's really going to happen. Did something happen four years ago? Did women wake up? I was like, certainly. No, year in review four years ago. A much shorter show. Did something happen four years ago? I have, I've mentioned this on the show that four years ago women had a meeting and they decided- Wait, when did inside Amy Schumer come out? About then, yeah. When did 30 Rock, because I mean, we've been around. I know, but is there four years ago after after Rush Limbaugh revealed that he didn't understand how birth control worked and that Aiken talking about women being able to shut down rape. Oh yeah. Did it become apparent to women four years ago in the last election cycle that men really have to be put aside, they're dangerous? I'm not allowed to discuss our meetings. I'm not at liberty to say, but I didn't mean what I said with the guns. No, but seriously, because I don't know if- That's the way you're phrasing the question. It's in a very kind of paranoid light. It's like, you know, it would be like, did women realize that a lot of men are clueless and they have to deal accordingly? But you're like, no, did they realize that all men have to be put aside as if that's the only solution? With climate change, I mean, it's getting pretty scary. Do you get a sense that we really are the problem? Yes. I don't think that started four years ago. I think we've, I think- Enough of the tools to take down the patriarchy. I mean, I don't- Not you. Right. Okay. But we are the- But it's like I packed kind of like- Seriously, but we are the problem, right? Well, I don't, I mean, historically, you've been the only option. So it's hard to say if we would do a better job because we haven't had that opportunity. Men have had the power, so of course they have done the damage. Yeah, you're, of course, you're going to get all the consequences of your actions because you're the only ones who have taken actions. Okay. So I mean, and there are, I mean, of course, you know, not all men, you know, that's ludicrous, but yeah, certainly- Michael Moore has a new documentary and it's a masterpiece. It really is. What's it called? Who Should We Invade Next? I saw a screening of it. And he talks about, isolates various parts of the world and what they're doing right and what America should appropriate from other countries. It goes to Iceland, which is, their financial sector was destroyed by men and they did some studies that testosterone is what drives Wall Street and testosterone makes it impossible for men to understand what risk really means. And the only investors in Iceland who didn't go belly up were these women investors. And he concludes the movie by saying the only solution to the world's problems are women. Well, it sounds brilliant. I'm being serious too. Okay, so now then again- Man, imagine how great a documentary a woman could have made. I'm just thinking- Actually, Michael Moore is a woman. I'm just trying to think how thinner he'd be if his last name wasn't Moore. But sorry to do with anything. I was trying to impress Michael. I don't get it. But the message of Michael Moore's new movie is- Hand it over to women? Hand it over to women. Great, we'll take it. We'll take it from here. But seriously? Seriously. There's plenty of us to do all the work. We're totally ready for this. And what is the difference? Is it that you will work better together? You have a better sense of community than men do? Oh, I don't know. Because I don't know what it's like to be a man specifically. But I think it's worth a shot. There are fewer female sociopaths, I believe. Well, yeah, but there's fewer people looking into the mental state of women too. That's true. Attention deficit disorder has predominantly been prescribed as boys because boys are crazy and girls display it in a different way. And people just let those girls go without it. And maybe ADD is fake anyway, that's what I kind of think. But in general, men are the ones getting the attention. I'm sorry, were you talking about something? I was just wrapping up. No, I was doing an ADD joke. Right, gotcha. I thought it was another one of those women jokes. Okay. It was a real crossover episode. Are you going to be in the ADD telethon? It's two minutes every night over the next six months. Go ahead. Like, I'm not a women's studies major. I'm the least educated feminist there is. I'm going off the gut here. So I don't really have these highly thought out answers about whether or not women can run the world without you. But my gut is saying yes. Women always listen to their guts. I'm not stupid. Well, that is usually the next question. I know that Hillary is 69 years old. So, you know, my gosh. Someone's got to throw her a bone, man. So they talk about the menstrual cycle. She's going to get pregnant, right? She's not going to have to worry. Pregnant with brilliant ideas. I mean, Hillary's going to have, one of them, she gets her period. That's so stupid. A woman, her age, is going to want to have a baby with Bill. Pregnant women don't have periods. That's right. You're right. We've got at least nine months of solid focus. I try that on stage, but it doesn't work. The joke is that I'm so stupid, I think. Oh, it's been so long since you set that up. Now I'm not stupid, but a 69-year-old woman has periods. And now the rest of the joke happens. Do you think there'd be wars if you were in charge? Do you have rage? Me personally? Do you have rage? No, I don't. Do you have masculine rage? What is the difference between masculine rage and feminine rage? I don't, well, physiologically, I mean testosterone, I think, right? Do women have testosterone? Some. They do have some. Some have more than others. Do men have estrogen? Yeah. He was going to say it like that anyway. Yeah. Do you want some coffee? I'll get you some coffee, my god. Do men have estrogen? Yes. Okay. And women have testosterone? That's right. And does testosterone create violence? That's what a lot of science has shown, yeah. Do are there women who shoot up heroin? Are there any heroines? There have been some major female junkies in our lifetime. No, we're not taking guns and blowing, blowing down schools that's never been us. We're not, we're not terrorists. We're not any of those people. Even with a suicide, like men are more likely to use guns and women are more likely to use pills or something that will be less immediately effective. Something easier to clean up for the food. Have at it. I'm interested in this. No, seriously. So men, women don't shoot up shopping malls. No. They shop up shooting malls. Name one mass shooter. Who's the woman? The one, I mean, from San Bernardino. Yeah, but did she actually have the gun though? I think she had. I think it was both of them. But it's great to see the glass ceilings always being broken. I mean, that might be, that might actually be something. But that's ISIS. That's different from what we're talking about. Right. So we don't have, they're not mass shooters. I mean, it actually, if women are in ISIS shooting, I think that is relevant to what we're talking about. And there are female serial killers. There's one, Emo Phillips talked about one in one of his old acts, Carla Faye Tucker. Oh, yeah. She was the one that pushed, or that they, she supposedly turned Christian and they were trying to get her sentence commuted. Yeah, she killed 37 people or something, I think. No, I don't think it was. Oh, she stabbed somebody 37 times and each time, I got an orgasm. That was a joke. It was multiple. I mean, mental illness is obviously not discreet to men. But violence, it's definitely coming out at your hormone makers. I'm a scientist. The hormone makers. Right. Okay. But I've known plenty of violent women. But not. And how do you explain like Rhonda Rousey? Who's that? She's the MMA fighter. Yeah. I mean, no, women can be aggressive, obviously, and violent. I personally know like multiple people, if you look up domestic violence statistics, women have a not insignificant percentage of that. There are billions of people, so there are going to be some Rhonda Rouseys. Right. Like there's going to be atypical, you know. It's probably just because we haven't had the opportunity to be violent. And I'm saying, let's give us a chance. But that's what I'm wondering, like if you're put in a position, where you can commit horrible, horrible crimes, but you don't. I mean, you go buy a gun and not, you don't go in and buy a gun, right? Thanks. Thanks for not. Yeah, you're welcome. Do you get tired of talking like right now? No. Next. It's three guys and one female. Do you get tired of being a woman, like in a group setting like this? Oh. I mean, I guess if it was three different men. Because you are kind of being called upon to give the official word of what women say. Does that make you angry? I mean, you know, I'm never going to be angry that someone's giving me the opportunity to pontificate like an asshole, but just like any of you guys get to. But you know, no, obviously, I don't think I speak for people and it's frustrating. I'm, you know, I don't know. I'm not a scientist. I do 150 episodes a year. Yeah. And they were all tonight. Is this enough conversation about women's issues for the year? Oh, for the year? What do we got? Like a week? Okay, you know, enjoy your holiday. Well, see you back in 2016. Yeah, I think there are a lot of things that I thought I knew about race and feminism. And so it's the whole point of this that it was OK for the black person to interrupt Bernie Sanders. Yeah. Yeah. It's certainly OK. I don't know. They weren't breaking laws. Shoot them all, you know what I mean? But you know what? With the, they had the whole thing with the Black Lives Matter and Bernie Sanders. And then not long after that, there was tape of them confronting Hillary Clinton and it ended up being like one of the greatest things Hillary Clinton has ever said as far as I'm concerned, is one of the people was saying, or do you think you can change people's hearts? And she said, no, I don't believe I can change people's hearts. I believe I can change the laws, you know, that bring more justice and more equality. And I thought that was like one of the smartest things. I agree. I think once you change the laws, you change their hearts. Well, then you get new people who grew up with those laws and like the way that when you smile, when you're sad, it makes your brain happy anyway. Right. Like that'll it'll make people's brains better. Like the people today who are like anti-socialism, like don't don't give us health care, but they're like, but also don't take away my social security or school or everything that we've had. Like keep the stuff that we've had. So eventually in 20 years, the Obamacare will be stuff that we've had and people will be like, OK, so that's all the stuff we have. And then everybody who disagrees. Well, the idea is hopefully with Obamacare is that it'll lead, it isn't single payer, but hopefully it'll lead to single payer down the road. But you know, people who one of the bandwag ends as far as like making fun of certain kinds of people that I don't generally hop on board is millennials. How how how you know, fucked up millennials are because the reason there's like less, there is less racism now. And there is marriage equality now is because of millennials have grown up around all of that. They're the least racist and the least like, you know, they're the least Trump like people there are because they come from this newer generation that grew up knowing gay people and, you know, and knowing like mixed marriages and stuff like that. So in that sense, the millennials have been very well. We have a millennial here. Are you guys millennials? I'm not. I technically am. I'm straddling that border. You're on the cusp. Let's ask a millennial. Well, well, I wouldn't, Mike is like really racist, but other than that. But for the good people. You're, what do you think? What? That millennials aren't bad. And only answer this question as a millennial and not a woman. Okay. What's the question? Were you really high right now? I like a lot of millennials. What? Except for as a millennial. Do you think you were raised in an environment that's more accepting of what's wrong with people? I don't think that's because I was a millennial. That was a funny question. Do you think you were more accepting of people's differences? I think my parents raised me to think that it wasn't, it was coming from their generation. So they were already on board. Hippy free love stuff. Yeah, they're, you know, that hippie type. So they were already on board. But you know, there were more people that were likely to be like that at that time. And thus at this, it's all, it's all gradual. I wasn't a first adopter of that. Of right. And kids, you know, millennials who are kids of hippies, that probably has contributed to what I'm talking about. It's the fact that they're brought up under that. Well, the argument, and people like Trump, you know, he's like 16. He comes from the previous era when everything was separate. You know, and you know, when I was, you know, Trump is like 10 years older than I am. And when I was born, there was still, you know, Eisenhower was president. There was still a lot of racial discrimination and women's lib didn't come until 1970. And it didn't really make its way into the mainstream of society for until decades. It took decades for there to be any progress with that. So people from Trump's generation are just used to that kind of way of society used to be. And I think younger people are, they're more open to just the idea that we're a very assimilated culture. The argument against millennials is that when you're young, you're more accepting of people who are different. But as you get older, you become rigid and only want to surround yourself with your own kind. You look distraught. Yeah, no, sorry. I thought I heard something in my headphones, but go ahead. I'm sorry, say it again. I heard it. That when you're young, you're a liberal. Yeah. Like, that wouldn't be any different. They hit me, turned yuppies. Yeah, why would that be? But that wouldn't be any different for millennials than any other generation. Well, a lot of the guys from the 60s turned out to be sexist, racist. You know, the people with the long hair. Yeah. So do you think... Not all of them, though. Some of them did. Right, but... Well, we won't know until 50 years from now when the millennials are old, but I don't think they're gonna turn racist. I don't think, yeah, I don't think that's the case. Now more than ever, we have the exposure to other cultures. So that's like something you're gonna grow with and take with you. I'm gonna ask you one final question. Women's liberation, feminism... I'm forced. Yes or no? Yes. Yeah, your day. Came to, started to come to fruition in the 70s around the same time that the economy experienced wage inequality and our wages weren't growing. So at the same time that women were going into the workplace, men were unable beginning to... We're not able to support their family anymore. So it became necessary for women to join the workplace. Also the pill had just come out. It seems like a coincidence, but maybe that is the dark of really sinister Illuminati plot to be like, to be like, okay, we'll give you women in the workplace, but now everyone's getting paid less and now you know, it's not... Well, but supplying to men. So there became twice as many workers. The female Illuminati were like, this is how we're gonna get women in the workplace. Do you think women in the workplace... Drove down wages. Well, I mean, you have to assume that's true because women still don't make as much as men. So we already know they drove down wages at least for themselves. Because employers are like, oh, I can get this woman who's who's good, very competent and I can get her for less money than the other guy. Right. But it was men doing that. Yeah. Okay, now we all agree that work sucks, right? Sure. But for the most part, you rather stay home and watch your stories. I like work. I like to work too, but you rather... We all agree, Mike. I gotta go. I have to actually get to a show and go work now. Oh, okay. But if you didn't have to work, would you work? Oh, there's gonna have a hobby. I guess I mean, I would, but I wouldn't be concerned about the bottom line. Is that work? I don't know. In other words, there are gonna be some conservative, some... A little wrap it up. I know you have to get to a show. But could you imagine a life I could where I'm being kept and I stay home and I get to pursue my hobbies and then I wait for my husband to come home and I'm put on my negligee and... Sounds like you need to drive into Gloria Swanson's driveway in the sense of boulevard. You're saying we blew it? No, no, no. I'm just saying, could you imagine... That's the direction it's going. You're saying we blew it. That's what we had in your theory, but it's never that simple. I live under a threat of violence, no freedom or economically financially. I'm like Satan's advocate here. No, obviously that was terrible or we wouldn't have fought to work. You know, like nobody wants to be... My impression of Micah, though, is that even if you were incredibly wealthy, incredibly wealthy, like you would probably still write and still do... Yeah, like I would be writing things and like... You would do your enjoyable work. Right, and I would be... Suppose I gave you Miltown. What's Miltown? Wasn't that the pill before Valium? No, I don't... Oh, Miltown, I think that was the pill. Oh, sure, if you tranquilize me. Yeah, I guess. Then you wouldn't work. Well, Viagra was known as Miltown Burl. If you were unconscious, would you do any work? Sure, yeah, you know... Probably not, you're right. Well, this has been great. Great. Micah Fox. Yes, three times in a row. Let's give a hand. Wait, what, was I doing it wrong? We're just wrapping it up now. No, you've nailed it. No, you've done it great every time. Why, do people get it wrong? You know, some people do. What do they say? Mika, Moka. Folks. Mike Kaplan. Micah folks. Oh, okay. You're doing great. Thank you, and I hope you'll come back. I would love to. Thank you. He's gonna need a token woman next week, so... Perfect. Sure, a token woman. Somebody who smokes pot. Yeah. Token woman, that's right. J.R.R. Token Woman. Micah Fox is hosted this week in Jack, and why don't you plug some gigs?

With the great John Fugl saying, And we're doing a benefit January 29th, 7 p.m. at QED. It's called Keep Hillary Honest. We're raising money for Bernie Sanders. We pretty much assume he's not gonna win, but we want to keep him going. And we want to move Hillary. So can we keep the money? Oh yeah, that's... We want to move Hillary as far to the left as possible. So January 29th, 7 p.m. We're doing a benefit at QED. So this is a benefit that a Hillary supporter like myself can be a part of and not worry. You want her to be honest? Yeah. Yeah. You know, until she gets the nomination and then she can give it up. Right. It's her prerogative as a candidate. That's right. Candidate. I thought you were gonna say woman there. I know. I played with you. And John Fugel saying we'll be there. I will be there. Frank Conniff will be there. Mr. Free from The Daily Show will be there. I'm leaving somebody out. Bonnie McFarlane is gonna be there. Wow, she's getting around, isn't she? Yeah. Bonnie McFarlane is gonna be there. I'm opening for Judy Gold at Caroline's Christmas Week. If you're in New York City. Come see us with Mr. Gondelman. Oh, wonderful. That's a great show. And what else should I mention? I bet Judy would let me do a guess set in that show, I bet. Want to do a guess set? I bet if I'll ask Judy. Yeah. And you know what? I mentioned this on your show. If you have some extra money, give to St. Jude's Hospital if... Is this a setup for a bunch of Danny Thomas jokes? No, but a friend of mine who passed away was a big supporter of St. Jude's and it was vetted properly. It's a good charity. So if you have some money that you want to give, they... From what I understand, they do not turn you away if you don't have any money. So St. Jude's Hospital. That's a great thing. Merry Christmas.
