Speaker 1:

I am so sorry if the algorithm pushed you over to here the Scotty Don't X Show. It may feel like stumbling upon a forgotten VHS tape from the 90s, but if you have any of those I hear eBay can fetch some excellent prices. And now let's dive into the deep end and see if we can save episode 26.

Speaker 2:

and see if we can save episode 26. Rather than worry about saving episode 26,. Can we just have a moment of silence for the countless hours of our lives wasted scrolling through the endless abyss of online stupidity? Yeah, legally I think that counts as a moment of silence. Anyway, it's like the internet has turned everyone into a stand-up comedian Not the good kind like Steve Martin, kyle, cease, louis Anderson, justin Ruppel or Big Irish Jay, but stand-up comedians without talent, without material, without timing.

Speaker 2:

I get it, we all want a good laugh, but some people think that saying the most random, offensive or just plain nonsensical things will automatically make them hilarious, automatically make them influencers who get to fly around in G5 or G6 airplanes to tropical islands. That's not what happens. Seriously, it's like these people have never heard of subtlety or wit. They throw out a bunch of words hoping something sticks. Oh, and that is foreshadowing for Teflon, which will be appearing in a future episode. Not even going to tear into people who think it's funny to be mean, at least not this episode. Making fun of others, spreading misinformation or generally being rude is not humor, it's bullying, it's sad. Also and I may take a lot of heat for this one genital assault is not funny when applied to either sex. That's right, I said it, that's right. Hollywood, looking at you Back before you had talking in the film, you decided a whack to the sack was funny, funny, funny. So to all. You want to be comedians out there? Unless you're wanting to take the time and educate yourself on the craft, please just stop. If you want to make people laugh, try being creative, thoughtful, maybe even a little bit clever, and take some classes, read some books. The information is out there. You can even listen to podcasts and YouTube from comedians who want to help other people out, and if you're still struggling, maybe just stick to watching those cat videos. They're usually funnier and less toxic. Having said that, have you subscribed to the Scotty Don't X on YouTube yet? It's free, it's fun and a great way to get notified about my podcast, which has also been described as an endless abyss of online stupidity. So on Reddit, there were a list of questions and, of course, I know everything, so I could answer them all, but then a few of them seemed to be obvious trolls, and other ones were like and a few of them seemed to be obvious trolls and other ones were like yeah, I can answer this, but you don't really want me to, so I grabbed the dead bird and brought it to the doorstep of you, my fine podcast listeners.

Speaker 2:

Is it wrong for a vegetarian to eat animal crackers? Well, my gut response is no. Animal crackers shouldn't contain any meat. And if they do, I'd consider you'd be keen enough to Google something similar to making an FDA complaint. A more reasoned response. Eating animal crackers is not generally considered wrong for vegetarian, and here's why Animal crackers are not made from animals. They're typically made from flour, sugar and other plant-based ingredients. The animal shapes are just a fun design. The term vegetarian is often interpreted as avoiding the consumption of animal flesh. Animal crackers don't contain any meat or animal byproducts, so if you're a vegetarian and enjoy animal crackers, there's no need to feel guilty. They're a delicious and plant-based snack. You've completed the Scotty Note X, episode 26, so go take a victory lap. Have a good day.
