Surviving The Cancellation Apocalypse - Andrew Schulz - #564

**Chris Williamson** (0:00)
Hello everybody, welcome back to the show. My guest today is Andrew Schulz. He's an actor, comedian and a podcaster. The world seems to be losing its mind. No one is sure what the rules for acceptable conduct are anymore. From virtue signaling to moral grandstanding, the incentives to take down others are stronger than ever. So why are some people immune to these laws of cancellation? And is it a solution that the rest of us can steal for ourselves? Expect to learn whether Elon Musk is a hero or a villain, whether True Geordie's cancellation was appropriate, why Schulz thinks that a marriage with a prenup is not a real marriage, how come people don't sleep with their sisters, why the word uncircumcised is totally pointless, why the body positivity movement might just be girls reducing their competition from the dating market, what Schulz learned from Mr. Beast and much more. This was very fun. The 36 hours that I got to spend in New York with Video Guy Dean flying over from the UK was pretty hilarious and Liver King was in Schulz's studio 30 minutes before I got there. So I had to for breeze the couch before I was prepared to sit down, but I very much appreciate Andrew. I like the fact that he's able to move from interesting intellectual insight across into ridiculous silliness pretty seamlessly. And yeah, I very much hope that you enjoy today.

Andrew Schulz, welcome to the show. Thank you. What's happening, man?

**Andrew Schulz** (2:14)
Chilling, man.

**Chris Williamson** (2:14)
Very good. I just missed you in the UK when you were over there. What did you make of it?

**SPEAKER_3** (2:18)
Yeah, I liked it.

**Andrew Schulz** (2:20)
I actually had a good time over there. It was cool. We got to do some cool interviews, and I actually got to hang out in London. I haven't really hung out in London before. I didn't do the whole pub thing. I like the pub thing.

**Chris Williamson** (2:31)
Do you not think you have any equivalent over here?

**SPEAKER_3** (2:33)
It's different.

**Andrew Schulz** (2:34)
It's different. Pub for pub's sake is not, we need another excuse. I think that's why we have sports almost every night of the week. So it's like we can go to the bar to watch a sport.

**Chris Williamson** (2:46)
Not just for a hang.

**Andrew Schulz** (2:47)
Yeah. Like just going to drink feels wrong here.

**SPEAKER_3** (2:51)
You know what I mean?

**Andrew Schulz** (2:53)
I'm going to the bar to drink. Like just that? Yeah.

**Chris Williamson** (2:56)
Yeah.

**Andrew Schulz** (2:56)
To meet anybody? Maybe.

**Chris Williamson** (2:58)
England.

**Andrew Schulz** (2:59)
But mostly drink.

**Chris Williamson** (3:00)
Yeah.

**SPEAKER_3** (3:01)
Doesn't that feel?

**Chris Williamson** (3:02)
I don't know, man. It's part and parcel of the British culture, right? This is one of the problems they have with shutting down of pubs that they're saying it's disconnecting people from each other.

**Andrew Schulz** (3:09)
Yeah.

**Chris Williamson** (3:10)
People are becoming more isolated. You spent a good bit of time with True Geordie, Brian.

**Andrew Schulz** (3:14)
Love Brian.

**SPEAKER_3** (3:15)
Free Brian.

**Chris Williamson** (3:17)
Well, dude, I want to talk about that because I think-

**Andrew Schulz** (3:19)
He's converting to Islam. Did you know that? This is breaking news. Brian is actually converting to Islam.

**Chris Williamson** (3:25)
Pete Davidson is now Jewish and Brian True Geordie is converted to Islam.

**Andrew Schulz** (3:29)
Brian is converting to Islam. Yeah. He had to give up the foreskin. Did you know that?

**Chris Williamson** (3:33)
No. It's a heavy price to pay. I imagine he's got a massive foreskin.

**Andrew Schulz** (3:38)
How heavy, buddy? Do you think Brian's got a big unit?

**Chris Williamson** (3:41)
Big foreskin. Yeah.

**Andrew Schulz** (3:42)
It's all foreskin?

**Chris Williamson** (3:43)
Yeah. It's just 90% foreskin. It's like a sock with a tennis ball in it.

**Andrew Schulz** (3:48)
Shout out to Brian, man.

**Chris Williamson** (3:50)
I thought it was very interesting because you guys do these intros to the beginning of your pods where it's like a rant, like a bit for maybe a minute or two minutes. You guys have said some during those that I can't believe gets put on the internet. What was interesting about watching Brian is, he said something that could have been a bit taken straight out of one of your intros, right? He got smashed for it. Gymshark dropped him, Pokestars dropped him, got banned for a while on Twitch. Yeah. Is there like a special button that people need to be able to press that lights up and says, I'm doing a comedy bit because he's not a comedian, but he dips in and out of comedy.
