The organizations NFL and NHL are both certainly a lot less manly today than
they were even ten years ago, certainly 30 years ago.
But if we were having this conversation ten years ago,
before the NHL started doing pride nights and all the rest of it,
then maybe you can make an argument for the NHL,
but but now the NFL went woke too, but not to that level.
NHL has pride nights, NFL doesn't at this point, so NFL wins.
>> Thank God.
Matt Walsh is helping us figure out which sports are manly and
which sports are not manly enough.
And he has deduced that the National Hockey League is
apparently not manly enough because they have pride nights.
I don't know if he knows, well, actually, he does know this.
Hockey players get into physical fights and beat each other [LAUGH].
Not to say that that necessarily translates to manliness, but
if you're thinking about stereotypes of manliness,
physical fighting kind of falls in that category.
No?
>> 100%.
Look, the idea hey, you know what, Matt, then why don't you put on a pair of skates
and get in the rink and see how it goes for you, okay?
[LAUGH].
>> Listen, he sits in a chair in front of a camera just like we do,
to be fair, and opines on things he likes and dislikes.
How is that manlier [LAUGH] than the hockey players?
Like, I don't understand.
>> Okay, so look, I can't believe he's doing this unironically.
>> He is doing it.
This is real.
>> It's amazing.
No, I watched longer, unfortunately, to make sure that he wasn't kidding.
Like, yeah, I'm kidding.
I mean, it's not really manly or unmanly, but
I don't like it cuz I'm a right winger and I hate gay people or whatever, right?
And if he was joking around about it, whatever, who cares, right?
No, this guy's actually judging whether hockey players are tough enough.
Okay, so I'm gonna tell you guys in a second about an amazing hockey fight
story, but this guy cracks me up.
What were we going to say in it?
>> So, you know what?
I just wanna go to the next video.
But let me preface it by saying not only does he think that hockey players are not
manly enough due to their support of the LGBTQ community, through Pride Nights and
things like that, or through wearing, he just thinks that they're too woke and
you can't be woke and manly at the same time, according to Matt Walsh.
But then he also reduces hockey players and
their lack of manliness to something they wear.
So let's watch that.
>> On hockey, you've got, first of all, fighting after the play.
That's cool.
The fact that you could just beat the hell out of each other for
has nothing to do with what's actually happening on the I don't know.
I've never watched hockey, but I guess two guys get mad at each other and
just beat the hell out of each other.
And it's understood that that's what you're gonna do.
So that's cool.
You don't have that as much in football.
But at the same time, I gotta deduct points based on the fact that you are on
ice skates, which is a little bit that's what figure skaters use, and
it's a little bit sort of dainty.
You're ice skating around.
You can never be fully manly on ice skates.
The manlier thing is just to be on your own 2feet
flat on the ground or with cleats.
>> [LAUGH] All right, so first of all, this guy lecturing people on manliness.
I mean, that's the joke right there.
It's hilarious.
Second of all, his co-host was like, is he being serious?
[LAUGH] Look like, he's like, am I supposed to respond here?
Cuz this guy's like, you're tougher than NHL players.
You are.
You're judging whether they're manly enough.
That's hilarious because they had because the league did
Pride Night where they said, we don't hate gay people.
And so you marked them down for that, Matt.
Okay, duly noted.
>> I just don't know how to respond to this.
All of this is so absurd.
>> No, but no one who does this without, like, a wink and a nod and
having fun with it is actually secure in their masculinity.
>> No, that's exactly right.
That's 100% correct.
>> All right, so I'll tell you the hockey story real quick, and
then we'll come back to more of the substance of this guy.
>> Why do guys do this?
It seems to be mostly a male thing, you guys love it.
Is he manly enough?
Like women don't do that, women don't do that.
We don't sit around like, is she woman enough?
>> Is she female enough?
>> Is she feminine enough?
We don't do that.
Why do you guys do this?
>> Because they wanna measure themselves up to others.
Look, hey.
>> Okay, but let me help you guys out just a little bit, okay?
Hopefully, you've internalized what I'm saying because I genuinely wanna
help you guys out.
When you sit around and judge the masculinity of others,
it communicates to the women, or womans, as my dad would say,
that you're incredibly insecure in your masculinity and
you're concerned that you're not gifted in the nether regions.
That is what it communicates to me.
I'm just keeping it real.
Strength is feeling secure in yourself and not spending all
your time doing this weird armchair analysis of the masculinity of others.
It's just strange to me.
>> Yeah, look, for example, if I were to come on here and go, like,
I'm gonna use an old school example, a new one, Greg Lloyd,
who is like, an awesome, fierce football player for
the Steelers or TJ Watt is currently the same for the Steelers.
If I came out here like, I'm gonna judge whether TJ Wad and
Greg Lloyd are manly enough.
[LAUGH] What are you doing?
Why are you doing that?
Right? Unless you're kidding around.
Obviously, they're manly enough.
And what is it about you that you wanna compare yourself
to them with some sort of, like, as if you're the arbiter.
Like, TJ Watt, I will now judge you on whether you're male, it's absurd,
it's freaking absurd.
To this hockey story that I promised you guys.
So, of all people, it's about Tommy Chong kind of.
So I interviewed Tommy Chong a bunch of times, and then one time,
he had this great story about his brother.
Tommy grew up in Canada, actually, a lot of people think he's from LA and
he's Latino.
He's actually Asian from Canada.
So they used to play hockey all the time, and
they played it in an informal way with no refs, so it was brutal.
And his brother used to play so much that one day he's going through
a metal detector, like, 30 years later, right?
And I don't know why the metal detector goes off.
You'll have to go back to.
>> My God, look at that guy next to you.
He looks so feminine.
>> No, so feminine.
>> So we. >> He was part of Pride Night one
night, okay?
He didn't hate gay people enough feminine.
So, anyways, bottom line to the long story is Tommy's brother
was setting off the metal detector cuz he had teeth in him from,
like, the hockey fights, and the teeth had metal in it.
He still had teeth in his body from the fights, but not manly enough for
Matt Walsh cuz they did it on skates.
>> Wait, like.
>> [LAUGH] dainty.
Look at this.
How do clowns look at this guy and go, yeah, I bet Matt's the most manly guy.
I think you should judge everyone else.
>> Should they maybe have some rules to prevent the physical abuse that takes
place during these hockey games?
>> Well, that was the cool part of that story by Canada.
There were no rules, and there were no rest.
>> No, I know.
>> And so they would tear each other apart, and as a man, I go, interesting.
[LAUGH] We're silly creatures, men.
But at least I know it, okay?
Instead of this fool pretending that he's the ultimate judge
of manliness in a serious way, preposterous.
>> He sits n front of a camera.
It is preposterous [LAUGH].
>> Put him in the room with any of those guys and
see how quickly he runs to get depends.
Okay.
