Ari Shaffir on the Legion of Skanks and Milo Controversy

Hey, tell me this. The Creek in the Cave. The Legion of Skanks are not doing the... Yeah, what the fuck? They're not doing their show at the Creek in the Cave anymore. First of all, you guys coming to me on this is worse than Ainsling being coming to you about a Comedy Store. Well, no, but you were just on with Milo. I think it's directly related. Yeah, yeah. That one wasn't at the Creek in the Cave. Right, but that's why. That's not why. No, they were trying to do it at the Creek in the Cave and the lady freaked out, right? She buckled under pressure. That's not why they're moving. They're already going to move it. They're already going to move it. The new stand was opening up. They'll use this as an excuse. Maybe or people will say that's the reason. They were already going to move it. Wait, start from the beginning for someone who doesn't know what you're talking about. Yeah, there's a lot of people that know what you're talking about. They booked Legion of Skanks. You know who they are. Yeah, of course. They're legit people who fuck their own. Jay and Dan and Luis, right? Luis, yeah. And Luis Gomez and Dave Smith. And they're hardcore guys, except when they come on this podcast and kind of push out. But like, they're hardcore guys for the most part. And so they booked. Yeah, they're, they bitched out on this. I don't understand that. I thought we just had a conversation. Yeah. There you go. Now you understand. That's fucking. Imagine Jackass in the heyday of Jackass and they're all sitting here politely and not trying to fucking shave their heads in front. It's like, come on, dude, obviously. They need a second chance on this podcast. Not now. I wouldn't. I wouldn't. Given all these expectations. I would not. They're going to come up and do something crazy. They just came here and had a good time with you? And fun. Nice, nice conversation. What's the problem with that? Oh, no, it's great. No, this is what's your team. It's like a model. Yiannopoulos and Milo said they cut down. So now Ari's running with the narrative. That's how the narrative. Listen, so they booked Milo. They're like, oh, we have this guy who's been fucking off, whatever. And then and then everyone started going, doing the thing where they attacked the venue. If you have the problem, it's not enough that they can miss analyze the person. They say, I want nothing to do with that guy. Then if you put him up, then you're the issue. A woman who's gave birth to tons of fucking great LGBT and fucking black performers. She's an issue because she's not stopping a performance from happening. And then sooner it'll be like, if you perform at that venue, then you're an asshole. Right, right, right. No, it's nonsense. But when it was happening, what's the ACE there for? A lesbian, gay, bisexual alliance. Oh. They have a lot more since I left college, but that's what I was told. Oh, right. The problem is when you look at LGBT, which is like the accepted use of those letters again. We didn't have T in college. We had the A in the end. Oh, A is now asexual. And Finn Taylor does a great joke where it's like they're included. But the reality is the asexuals hate the other ones. Like, you're disgusting. I don't care what kind of sex you're having. A lot of lesbians are not really excited about transgender men or transgender women, rather. True. And there's that. There's TERFs, you know, trans-exclusionary radical feminists. No, I don't know. I'm busy fucking living my life and trying to fucking dominate. I don't know. You're trying to dominate? I'm trying to dominate. Damn, I didn't know you were trying to dominate. Wait, can you fill me in more on this, though? Tell me about dominating. Wait, let's not leave dominating. I want to write that down. There was a big uproar. A lot of comedians started trying to like show how they were woken up. And they were like, I don't think you should do it. Very publicly quit putting Rebecca in this position. Telling the guy is that. My chileanopolis was going to be in the back. Here's how you could tell someone is a fucking white knight virtue signaller. When they don't go to you saying, hey, Tom, I'm calling you on the phone. Don't do this. But I get it. I might not have your number. So if I'm tweeting at you, I'll just write, at Tom Segura, don't do this. If I really want a virtue signal, I'll go dot at Tom Segura or hey, at Tom Segura. So it's not just me and your followers. It's everybody. Anytime anybody sees, if you're listening, you see somebody not start with the at. That is them virtue signaling on purpose. And all these comics. Unless they're saying something positive. They just want to see it. Oh, yeah. Yeah, absolutely. That's right. Good point. Like, hey, everybody come see Tom. You know, you don't want to say Steve Sibol's your album. Hey, R.A. Shafir, I loved your new Netflix special. Yeah. I love the Jew Hour. Yeah, it's coming. Thank you. It's great. It's great hour. I saw some of it. It's a great hour. You've been working out it hard. It's all hard. So your Jew buddy, Milo, he's going to appear on the show. Yeah. All these comics, all these people start saying, I will never go to the creek again. It put unbelievable pressure on her. They call him a Nazi. A club owner. Jewish and he's also married to a gay man. Who's black. Yeah. Who's black. He rushes his ass. Opens it up. Allegedly. So wait a minute. What ends up happening? So they go, we're not going to have them on? Okay. So they said we're doing this. We're not talking. They started going to war with these fucking virtue signaler comics. Okay. And then at some point, Rebecca, I talked to her a bunch because I don't know. This is not my thing. I don't even want to do it. And I'm like, Rebecca, what you do is you stand by your comics. And so you let them do whatever they want. Obviously, I've been on the right me. I've been on the wrong side. I've had venues cancel me. Yeah. Because of shit like this. So I'm like, you don't want to be involved. Then Milo's people said, oh, guys, you put out the time and date of where I'm going to be. I can't go anymore. So they moved it. So they moved it and still did it and still did it somewhere else. Yeah, we did it. And then, okay. Well, shout out to her for not caving then. Yeah. And consider her names the creek in the cave. Ah! That's funny. Yeah. So did it go out? Yeah, it's out now. Oh, okay. Yeah. And it's all... I didn't watch the whole thing, but the part with you and Milo pouring boot, it was pretty funny. The next time somebody calls Milo a Nazi and me a Nazi sympathizer, they say, it's my face. Maybe I'm just weird because I just saw my dad speak at the memorial. But I'm like, if you're going to tell me the people who took his father and say, you need to say goodbye to your son, and son, you got to take care of the family now and watch the rest of your family fucking disappear and death. It's the same as that political analyst. I'm going to slap you. You should slap him. Yeah, I should. It's so derogatory and offensive in a way that I'm not okay with it. So you can say that away from me. But if you say it to me, I'm going to... There's a lot of broken comics that were saying that. You should. There's not enough of those guys who are getting smacked. That's why they're saying shit like that. They need a good smacking. That's what Diaz always said. That's what Big J said. That's hilarious. Delirious. What is completely ridiculous? Of course, it's insane. It was crazy to hear. The guy is a provocateur. He fucks with people. He pushes buttons, and he does so in the age of the internet. Yeah, he said something... He's a great troll. The thing that they got him on, which is what it all got really weird, was essentially him saying that it should be okay, what happened to him when he was molested? That he was abused, sexually molested, by priests. And this priest, he would joke around and say that he was the one who pursued the priest. Trust me, I was the predator. That's how he said it. He's hilarious. And that's what got him... It was talking about that on my show and then talking about it on this other show. Wasn't it the Amazing Atheists show? It was, right? The point is, anybody who says you shouldn't be allowed to put that person, it can't be heard anymore. That's what they're saying, but that's what it was. But it was really just his harsh critiques of liberals and feminists that were so biting. And then he actually did a podcast with Jordan Peterson recently where he talked about the molestation. I didn't see it, but from Jordan's explanation, it's like he's understanding now as he's getting older that, yeah, he was a victim of this thing. Making it less impactful, yeah. Yeah, that he was giving this guy a pass that he did it to him almost.
