Summary
It wasn't that long ago that the forces of woke seemed to be on the ascendency. One day, we went to bed in a world where drag queen story hour was not a thing, and the next day, we woke up, and if you weren't comfortable with a 40-year-old man in a dress following your 5-year-old into the women's bathroom, you were a bigot. Everything was racist, sexist, bigoted, homophobic, transphobic, patriarchal, or literally Hitler. Today, we have my friend Bryan Callen, who refused to be cowed and fought back with a weapon he is quite adept with: humor.

| 0:03.0 | You know, it wasn't that long ago that what we commonly refer to as woke and all of the |
| 0:10.4 | nonsense associated with it seemed like it was on the ascendancy, as if there was nothing |
| 0:15.9 | that could stop it. |
| 0:16.9 | Like everything was just getting drowned in its wake, whether it was education, |
| 0:23.0 | media, politic, even sports. Sports, ladies and gentlemen, the NFL, the NFL, |
| 0:29.3 | the, quite possibly one of the manliest and most masculine of sporting events, the whole |
| 0:35.3 | idea of people putting on pads and destroying each other in order to score points. |
| 0:41.0 | They, they were bowing to the woke mob. |
| 0:44.7 | And then all of a sudden, one day I woke up and I watched as woke went too far. |
| 0:51.4 | And amazingly enough, it wasn't the various institutions that I might have |
| 0:55.7 | expected to push back against it and actually gain ground and actually cause it to stop at |
| 1:01.1 | its tracks, right? It was, it was comedy. It was comics. That's right. The very people that we |
| 1:07.8 | consider to be part of the arts and entertainment industry, the very industry, which was actually like full blown, like pushing a lot of this stuff, it was this aspect of that industry which stood up and said, yeah, no, we're not doing this. We're not doing this. We're not being regulated. Well, today, ladies and gentlemen, I have with us a good friend, actor, comedian, all around good guy, machete expert, Brian Callan. |
