13:44

history are doomed to repeat it I sort

13:46

of like something we should promote to

13:48

follow but I think it's kind of a good

13:50

life lesson to see how things have

13:51

changed so yeah maybe for the better for

13:53

some ways yeah you remember this guy in

13:55

Scotland who he like taught his

13:57

girlfriend's dog to do a Nazi salute to

14:00

do it a Nazi salute oh someone taught

14:02

their dog to do it they're not their dog

14:04

their girlfriends or she was away how

14:06

14:09

think she came back and he sort of said

14:10

the keywords probably something also to

14:13

do with Nazism and the dog did it and if

14:16

14:18

justice system from it more than

14:20

canceled but he says a joke yeah his

14:24

help he still protests to the day that

14:26

it's out of context it was just it was a

14:28

joke that kind of got taken out of

14:29

printer yeah how'd you how does that

14:32

work in terms of freedom of speech how

14:34

do you control that it was ridiculous

14:36

but there's

14:38

sometimes making fun of offensive things

14:40

makes it easier to deal with like I like

14:43

this do you know what I mean I just that

14:45

is one of the whole things about comedy

14:46

in my opinion yeah I've followed using

14:49

I've followed comedy since I was a

14:50

little kid and I just find it it's like

14:53

therapy for the people that do it right

14:55

and the people that are into certain

14:57

comedians they do
