  Speaker 1: Or March 14th, Pi Day.
• 0:52
  Speaker 4: Oh, right. Right.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: Explain this to us, Michael.
• 0:59
  Speaker 5: Well, every day I look for late night jokes for
• 1:02
  Speaker 5: the show. And it's really hard to find stuff that
• 1:05
  Speaker 5: is just plain humor. It's not political. It's just fun stuff.
• 1:09
  Speaker 5: And everything is so dark now. And even the number
• 1:12
  Speaker 5: one show, Gutfeld, it's just a dark show. I mean,
• 1:14
  Speaker 5: it's funny, but it's dark humor.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: So you've dug up a couple of the dark Gutfeld
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: jokes to make the point, and then you've got an
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: old Leno and an old Letterman to show us. how
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: times have changed. So let's go with that.
• 1:24
  Speaker 6: Girl Scouts can now earn badges by learning about the
• 1:28
  Speaker 6: pillars of Islam and visiting mosques. Well, the downside is
• 1:34
  Speaker 6: they can now be stoned to death for failing to
• 1:36
  Speaker 6: sell enough thin mints.
• 1:39
  Speaker 7: Oh, that's dark.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: That is a dark joke. You would not have made
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: that joke very many years ago.
• 1:44
  Speaker 6: The British government revealed that over the past few years,
• 1:46
  Speaker 6: at least 100 children under the age of 12 were
• 1:50
  Speaker 6: forced into marriage. Authorities became suspicious when they noticed all
• 1:54
  Speaker 6: brides were registered at Toys R Us.
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: Doof. I get where he's going with that, but yeah,
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: that's late night humor.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: Do we know what years these were? Leno had to
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: be way back.
• 2:11
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't have the years.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Doesn't matter.
• 2:14
  Speaker 7: At a Home Depot right here in West Covina, man
• 2:16
  Speaker 7: grabbed a handsaw, tried to saw both his arms off.
• 2:21
  Speaker 7: still couldn't get the attention of a salesperson. You know,
• 2:23
  Speaker 7: it's amazing. That's a real story. A guy tried to
• 2:28
  Speaker 7: saw both his arms off. After he saw one arm off,
• 2:32
  Speaker 7: how do you get the other arm? I mean, I'm...
• 2:38
  Speaker 7: That's pretty funny.
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: I'm sure the guy got the one off and thought, oh,
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: damn it.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: I did not think this through.
• 2:43
  Speaker 7: It hadn't occurred to me. Well....
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: Red lobster going out of business bankrupt yep here's how
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: i found out cbs had.

  Speaker 1: youtube and i'm a sucker for it that was such
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: a good show back in the day and nothing political
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: ever Mm-hmm. So good, though. So wacky.
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I haven't gotten the force-fed those yet. Maybe I'll
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: intentionally look for one, and that'll take care of me
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: for the next 10 years or so.
• 3:28
  Speaker 5: But it's the joy of the crowd. You know, the
• 3:30
  Speaker 5: crowd is just so different.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: Well, people want to be angry. They want to be
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: fed their point of view that they go to. You
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: go to Gutfeld for a certain point of view to
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: be fed to you, and you go to Jimmy Kimmel,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: for instance, or Colbert back when he was on.
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: I was just going to say, a nice yin and
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: yang would have been a Kimmel. blast at how stupid
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: Republicans are or Trump or whatever, how racist and the
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: crowd going crazy.
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: Oh, so tiring.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: Will we come out of this? Surely, are people tired
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: enough of this that we'll come out of it at
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: some point?
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: No?
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: Maybe. Maybe not.
• 4:00
  Speaker 6: All right.
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah. All right. Does this need any introduction? Katie or Michael?
• 4:08
  Speaker 5: Just a young woman created a song about dating with
• 4:13
  Speaker 5: men and the problems that she runs into.
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: Okay. All right.
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: In a cafe on 23rd and 9th, I'm with a guy,
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: 3rd gate, keep up, alright? Prior, he's like, come back
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: to mine?
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: Twice, he asked twice, this f * * * ing guy.
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: Now don't get me wrong, he's got good qualities. He's
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: doing very well in this economy, probably raised on proper ideologies,
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: but is that enough?
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: If I was desperate, probably.
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: See, I don't want to sleep with him, with that face,
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: who knows where the f * * * he's been.
• 4:38
  Speaker 7: But it's not that, that's not the reason, and not
• 4:40
  Speaker 7: because he thought that I was Indonesian.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: It's because I don't feel understood.
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: And I think I should.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: Because sex should be good. So I ask about his childhood.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: Hmm, big mistake.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: Horrible headache. So her comment there, clever little thing. Her
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: comment with a face like that, who knows where he's been,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: was that he's so good looking, I'll bet he's had
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: a lot of sex with different people. Is that what
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: that meant? That's kind of how I heard it. That's
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: an interesting thing. You're so good looking, I'll bet you've
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: had sex with a lot of people.
• 5:13
  Speaker 7: Hmm.
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: What?
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: I've never heard of that angle before.
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: You may be overthinking this, dear. I don't know.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: Which is the key to the whole online dating thing,
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you. That's why I got out. It's just
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: I feel like everybody's so cynical and like just red
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: flag heavy for things that in the normal world. would
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: have come about later in the relationship and would have
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: been fine. It's just, there's so many different weird things,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: partially because if you, you know, are above a certain
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: level of looks, you got so many people lined up.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: You just, you just constantly toss this one aside, that
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: one side, this one aside, I'll go out with them. Okay.
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: Fine.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: It's not, it's not perfect. Nobody is, this isn't perfect.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: Throw that aside, go to the next one. It's just, it's,
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: it's like her song there. It's just a whole bunch
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: of reasons why I'll go to the next one. It's
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: a weird world.
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: Very weird. I wouldn't mind hearing more of that bit.
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: It was fairly clever, and I liked it, and funny,
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: and I'd like to know where she was heading. But
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: we don't have that audio, so never mind.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: You wouldn't think you could do a stoning Girl Scouts
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: joke and get away with it, but I like it.
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: You know, as long as we're rolling audio, I want
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: to hear this ordering fast food in 2026 thing. We
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: didn't play that, did we? All right, let's listen.
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: Okay, your total is $ 17. 38. That can't be right. I
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: only ordered a cheeseburger combo. My mistake. I didn't hear
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: you say combo. $ 23.
• 6:39
  Speaker 7: 81.
• 6:40
  Speaker 5: Oh.
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: We do offer financing for any combo meal purchase.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: Oh, perfect.
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: But what about your credit score?
• 6:48
  Speaker 7: $ 4. 39.
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: Not so perfect. Perhaps we can interest you in a
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: hamburger with no ketchup. No, I need the combo. What
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: if I get someone to co-sign?
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: On a cheeseburger?
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: No. What else am I supposed to do?
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: Cash out your 401k?
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: How do you think I used to pay for the
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: chicken tender combos? Take out a HELOC on your home?
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: I already did that for the chocolate shakes. Downgrade your car?
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: I already downgraded to a PT Cruiser with 250,000 miles
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: on it. Yeah, it's not possible to downgrade more than that.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: Affordability, Jack.
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: That's the key word for the midterms.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: That's enough of that.
• 7:25
  Speaker 5: Well, I guess that's it.
