02x07 - Men!

Post by bunniefuu »

[chuckles]

I love men.

I'm not just saying that because a man sits at the top of every

hierarchy.

I'm saying that because I'm afraid for my life.

ominous music

Think of all the contributions that men have brought to the

world:

swords, g*ns, and bombs. [blast]

They're practically my favorite things after peace,

love, and my civil rights.

Women can have it all:

a family, and another family against her will.

Men are making a comeback, and we all pay the price.

Tonight, I'll be talking to Michael Che.



And Julia Fox.


-Who is your muse?
-Myself.

Yourself?

But don't worry, I won't be talking too much.

[laughs]

[laughter]

[laughing nervously]

Ziwe starts now.

cool theme music

My next guest is an iconic mother,

actress, and artist.

I was Josh Safdie's muse when he wrote Uncut Gems.

[woman] Right.

[honking]

Howard, get out of the f*cking car!

Oh, what are you gonna do, Howard?

[Ziwe VO] To herself, she's a muse.

To others, she's a grocery store model.

Her relationship with [bleep] West shook us to our core.

A downtown It Girl redefining women's fashion on the daily.

Please welcome Julia Fox!

elegant music

Wow.


-Iconography.
-[laughs]

I'm beyond excited to talk to you today.

Me too.

All right, what do you think the world needs more:

your outfits or safe ab*rtion?

Definitely safe ab*rtion.

Um, ab*rtion for everybody.

But in the meantime, um...

[laughs]

I will be putting on, um, a show for everyone.

What statement are you making with this outfit?


-Politically.
-Underboob.


-Oh.
-Oh, wow.

Um, politically...

How would you describe your perfect man?


-Funny...
-[Ziwe] Mm.

He has to have a really good sense of humor.


-But he can't be broke.
-Wow.

'Cause that's not funny.

Now describe how you would k*ll that man.

I would probably make it look like an overdose.


-Wow, oh my gosh, Julia!
-[Julia] Yeah.

They'll never know, you know?

ominous music

I am afraid to be in a room alone with you.

And are you pro
-women
-k*lling
-men?

I think that if the man deserves it,

yeah, why not?

Men k*ll women all the time for no reason!

Wow.

Wow!

The way that you shrug, I'm terrified.

[chuckling] Yeah.

Should men be allowed to have opinions?

No.

No.

They shouldn't even be allowed to have penises.

Really?! Why not?

It's just unfair.

What's unfair about it?

Okay, if I were president, I would just give g*ns to every


-woman...
-[Ziwe] Got it.

And not any g*ns to any men.

[Ziwe] Got it.

Because I feel like if they can have a p*nis,

which is a weapon of mass destruction
-
-


-Wow.
-[Julia] It can be!


-Wow!
-It can be.

I think that women should be allowed to have the same.

I think it equals the playing field,

I think we wouldn't get [bleep]ed with so much...


-[Ziwe] Wow.
-Yeah.

triumphant music

Well, I think when George Bush was looking for WMDs in

Afghanistan, it was for p*nis.


-That tracks.
-[laughs] Yeah.

Who's the ugliest man you've ever kissed?

Oh my God, I can't say his name but...

Say his name.

And he had a small p*nis.


-How small is small?
-Like that.


-That's small?
-Hard?


-That's very small.
-Oh my gosh!

And, um, [bleep]?

[laughs]


-Bigger than that.
-Tell me when to stop.

Small
-
- okay, smaller than that.

Smaller, smaller, smaller, smaller.

Little more.

Little more, little more.


-Like, yeah, like there.
-Oh my God!

Obviously, you famously were sort of associated with this


-man.
-Yeah, the universe wanted it.

I mean, it was a moment in, like,

pop culture history.

Yeah.

It hit the reset button on your career.

[Julia] It did.

So what other utilitarian uses did you get out of this...

person of color?

[laughs]

He got me a lot of clothes.


-Wow!
-Yeah, lots of clothes.

Wasn't expecting you to answer that.

[laughs]

You said it's scary to own a $, Birkin bag when you're

not rich.

If a Black person stole it from you,

would you call the cops?

Honestly, probably not.


-Really?
-[Julia] No.

Where's your Birkin?

At home.


-And what's your address?
-[laughs]

No reason.

I don't really have emotional attachment to the Birkins.

[Ziwe] Mm.

But, like, if you came in and, like,

took, like, my, like, best friend's ashes or something...

Oh my God.

It's gonna be a fight.

Well, that would be a sick [bleep] to steal ashes.

Yeah, but you never know.

Like, that's, like, my prized possession.

Who do you hang out with, Julia?!

I was robbed for, like, years by a girl that I thought was, like,


-my best friend.
-What was she stealing?

And she was selling my stuff on Etsy.


-[gasps]
-Yeah.

She was like, "Oh, I just, like, find things in Brooklyn.


-I thrift them."
-[Ziwe] Yeah.

Come to find out this b*tch was robbing me,

and then when I would look for the stuff,

she would help me look for it!

[chuckling] Yo...

Do you know what that does to a person?!


-Like, no, it's on sight.
-I'm seeing what it does.

But
-
- but you best believe I actually sent her a meme.

I was like, "Yes, b*tch, I know you [bleep]in' robbed me."


-Oh my God.
-"Yeah, wait 'til I see you."

But I haven't seen her, so...

Like, I realized that if
-
- that people needed to think that I

was crazy, and that was, like, how they weren't gonna [bleep]

with me.

And then I don't know when I actually became crazy.

It was like "I'm gonna pretend to be crazy" and then it just...

[chuckles]

Yeah.

[chuckles nervously]


-Filled with terror.
-[chuckling] Yeah.

Okay, well...

Mm.

You saw sl*ve Play with [bleep].

What was your biggest takeaway from this play?

That he brought his annoying friend.

[ding]

It was like "Why do you have to bring your friend?

Like, we were [chuckling] supposed to go on this date."

[Ziwe] Wait, really?!

And so that's what your takeaway from sl*ve Play...

[Julia] [laughs]

The most nominated play in Tony history?

No, no.

I mean, I
-
- when I worked in the dungeon
-
-

[Ziwe] Yeah.

I had clients
-
- Black clients
-
- that wanted that.


-Oh my gosh.
-[Julia] Yeah.

This is what he wants to get off,

and
-
- and I'm gonna do what the f
-
- the man tells me to do

because, in this setting, it's
-
- it's about him and his needs,

not about my moral compass.

I think that's really gracious of you to not be uncomfortable

being a master.

So let's pretend this little camera is your little sl*ve

piggy.

How would you talk to
-
- to it as a dominatrix?

Oh, you've been a bad little sl*t,


-haven't you?
-Oh my gosh.

Yeah, you wanna be punished?

Yeah, I bet you do wanna be punished,

you dirty little b*tch.

But use a Southern accent for, like,

historical accuracy.

[laughs]

Um...do I have to?


-No!
-[Julia] Okay.

[Ziwe VO] Next on Ziwe...

There's only one catch:

[Willet] Quiet now.

[chuckling] Yeah!

Worship me.

uplifting gospel music

I swear, these girls are so shy.

My ex was crazy!

She always wanted me to talk to her.

They're virgins, right?

You're teeny tiny, girl #.

And I want you to be my teeny

Nod.



[man VO] Teeny Tiny Christian Wife.

Oh, God...

Men:

exciting strings


-Are you dating right now?
-No!

Why would I wanna waste my time?


-Really?
-Yeah.

Have you ever tried dating women?

I, like, have been thinking about it a lot recently.

Pivot!

Because I do think, like, maybe I have some,

you know, I
-
- I have a g*y bone and I need to explore that a

little bit more.

Like, maybe my ex
-boyfriends weren't wrong when they were

calling me a l*sbian and complaining that I never wanted

to have sex with them.

We're unpacking...

I can find love in
-
- in all places,

and all races!


-Except f
-
- oh, really?!
-[Julia] Yeah!

Tell me about your favorite races to date.


-Not white, first of all.
-Really?!

I don't know, honestly.

They all, like, are equally horrible,

to be honest
-
- all men.

Like, I can't...


-It's just a man thing.
-[Ziwe] Hm.

Um, how many Black friends do you have?

Um...

Like a pretty good amount, I would say.

What's a good amount?

I mean, I can't, like, count them all.


-Why not?
-Like, that's weird.

But, like, a good amount.

I would say that I have, like, a pretty, like,

colorful and
-
- and mixed group of friends.

Like, I'm not even actually really friends with, like,

any white person who, like,

is actually, like, you know, from, like,

that area.


-If they're white, they're
-
-
-[chuckling] What area?


-They're, like, Jewish or
-
-
-Got it, got it, got it.

[Julia] You know what I mean?

Like, they're not, like
-
- like, I don't have any, like,

natural blonde friends or, like, natural blue
-eyed friends.

You don't have any natural blonde friends?!

Would you like to apologize to the blonde community for this?

I'm sorry, blonde community!

Like...

I've actually never even been to England.


-[laughs]
-I know.

I'm, like, kind of ashamed of that fact,

but, like, any time it came up, I was just like,

"A bunch of white people and bad weather,

like, the food sucks, I heard."

It just didn't ever, like
-
- I don't know,

it's just not my vibe.

Mm.

[English accent] Oh, I really fancy him! [mocking laugh]

[regular voice] I don't know.

[laughs]

Wow.

As an Italian
-American, would you consider yourself a person

of color?

No, definitely not.


-Although...
-Although?

There have been white
-er people in my life that said things to


-me.
-What do they say to you, Julia?

Like, "You're not really white."

Who's saying this to you?

I swear on everything I love...

that I know a woman who is that...

like, white...

that said that to me.

And I used to have a lot of hair,

like, before I got it all lasered,

and, um, you know, she would say, like,

"It's because you're Italian,"

you know?

So I guess Italians are like the Black people of white

people.

Like, the same way that there's degrees to Blackness,

there's degrees to whiteness, too.

I actually wanna apologize to the Italian community for making

light of any persecution.


-[laughs]
-Honestly!

Columbus...

Black man.

You're friends with Anna Delvey.

Where do you stand on prison reform?

Free Anna Delvey, though.

But didn't she do the things?

Do what?

Where do you stand on scammers?

Are you pro
-scammers or against?


-Absolutely.
-[Ziwe] You're pro
-scammers?

Yeah.

Are you an equal
-opportunity scammer,

or do you think some races deserve to be scammed more than

others?

Absolutely, I think white people deserve to be scammed the


-most.
-Wow!

[Julia] Yeah.

So could you tell all the marginalized people you can see

to scam?

Okay, so all marginalized people, um...

feel free to scam any white person.


-Wow.
-[Julia] Yeah.

Except me. [laughs]

Speaking of privilege, you got arrested for shoplifting in

Bloomingdale's, and then you came full circle to do a

campaign for them.

Welcome back to Beauty Hour on Bloomie's TV.

What is white privilege like?

I have a story.

So one time, I'm in bookings, right?


-And
-
-
-One time you're in bookings?

One of the many times I was in bookings.

Whoa.

And they put me in a cell with a
-year
-old Black girl.

[Ziwe] Mm
-hm.

And she's telling me her crime, and I'm like,

"Oh, don't worry.

Like, I did this, you'll be fine.

They're gonna do this, this, this."

And I'm, like, at the time, okay?

So that was the thing; it was her first offense.

I was like, "Oh, you'll be fine.

Like, oh, with your first one, they always just,

like, they say, you know, 'It
-
- it's okay.'

Like..."

And she comes back in hysterical,

and they were gonna send her to Rikers Island.

Oh my gosh!

And in that [bleep]ing moment, I really learned a lot,

because it was really [bleep]ing eye
-opening.

Yeah.

Sad.

Like, really, really sad.

I know this is supposed to be, like, a fun show.

[Ziwe VO] Next on Ziwe...

What other Malcolm X speeches speak to you?

I've obviously watched the speeches
-
-

Oh, yeah?

But I just can't, like, pinpoint when and where.

You've obviously watched the speeches?

And, to be clear, you could not name a single other quote?

No...

Would you like to apologize to the Malcolm X community?

I'm so sorry, Malcolm X community.

jaunty music

exciting strings

I cannot tell if you hate men or love men.

I, like, do love men.

What do you love about men?

I
-
- and that's the thing: like, I don't wanna seem like I'm just

a man
-hater, 'cause I'm not.

I hate the Patriarchy and I think that men are equal victims

to it just as much as women.

But, like, when you see everyone getting [bleep]ed over and then

you see all the men that
-
- they're not really that angry.

And it's like, well, why aren't you upset?

And now that you're not upset, it makes me feel like you're not


-really on my team!
-[Ziwe] Mm.

And then, it's really like you only want me if I'm on your

team.

That's how men are programmed to think.

They don't give a [bleep].

Like...

They don't give a [bleep].

Where do you see women's rights years from now in America?

Honestly, the way things are going,

obviously not very good.


-Mm.
-[Julia] Um...

But that's why we have to stick together and
-
- and reclaim our

power and stop letting men use us,

control us, coerce us.

Um, even if they're friendly or nice,

it doesn't [bleep]ing matter; they have a hidden agenda and

you need to be working on yourself, getting your money.

Suck a d*ck if you have to, do whatever to be independent.

Do it.

But don't ever catch feelings.

That'll derail the whole thing, and then you'll have to start

from scratch, so...

it's better to just not even date.

Wow.

-Hi.
- Bienvenidos.

Now, as a straight man,

which do you give less of a [bleep] about,

women's rights or g*y rights?

Mm, less?

Less.

Equal.

You equally do not care?

That's a [bleep]ed up question.

That's a [bleep]ed up answer.


-You...
-[Michael] Uh
-huh?

Made light of street harassment,

saying if you said "Hi" to a woman on the street,

you apologize.

What other issues do you think women are probably exaggerating?

That's what I do; I'm a...

I'm a...

lightener.

Would you like to lighten Roe v Wade?

I mean, I could.

Please!

[laughs] What?

No, I want you to do it!

It's my choice to terminate this segment.

[crew laughter]

[chuckling] You can't force me to carry that joke to term.


-[crew laughter]
-[Michael] [laughs]

I see a lot of "pick mes" laughing!

"Pick mes?!"

Do you have any marginalized communities you'd like to

apologize to?


-"Marginalized?"
-Yeah!

Wh
-
- wh
-
- what does that mean?

What's your interpretation of "marginalized?"


-Like, uh...
-[ding]

"[bleep]ed up?"

"[bleep]ed up communities?"

[chuckling] What is "marginalized?"

"Marginalized" means, like, uh, like people who are at the

margin of the power structures.

It could be, like, comedians who are written about in the press,

but it depends.

Shout out to all you n*gg*s that's...

gettin' hard
-hit in the press.

Do you usually patronize women like this,

or am I special?

I don't know sh*t about patronizing nobody.

I don't even know what...

What do you mean "patronizing?"

Are you the head writer of Saturday Night Live ?!

Yeah, I don't...read!

Is that a man thing or...?

What was the question? You said...

Did you get hit by a car before this?

[chuckles] I don't know, I'm nervous.

I feel like I'm being interrogated.

It's an interview.

They don't go well.

Interviews, or interviews with you?

Both.

On the scale of my interviews, would you like to be more like

Chet Hanks, Andrew Yang, or Fran Lebowitz?

I'm goin' Fran.

What do you like about her?

I like the movies, the
-
- what's
-
- what's the big hit
-
-

the hit movie she's in?

You like her, you tell me!

It's the romantic comedy thing.

And you're a fan of this woman?

She's in a
-
- no, she's in, like, an action movie?

Who's Fran Lebowitz?


-Who's Fran Lebowitz?
-Yeah.

She is a tiny woman who is famous for her commentary

on New York City.

Where would I have seen her?

Fran Lebowitz and Martin Scorsese!


-[applause]
-Yes, yes, yes!

[dramatic thud]

How am I supposed to know who that is?! [chuckles]


-Like, I don't know...
-Okay.

It's this part; it's the quiet part that
-
- that worries me.

When I'm talking, I feel fine.

When you're talking, I feel fine.

But it's after I say something, and then it gets really, really


-still...
-Yeah.

That's what worries me.

Is that because you're not used to listening?

This is why I don't go to therapy,

because I could just talk to a
-
- anybody,

and they'll tell me what's wrong with me. [chuckles]

Like, you figured that out just...

asking me four questions about Chet Hanks and...

Franny...Lab
-
- Lebo
-
- Lebstone.

[laughs] I don't remember her name.

You know who I'm talking about.

Yeah, I know who you're talking about.

Fran Lebowitz is Black?!

Oh, I don't watch the WNBA. [chuckles]

I would love to watch it, but WNBA,

if you're watching this, if you're watching me,

first of all, thank you.

Second, if you got tickets, I would love to go to a game,

so I can learn more about your sport and culture.

The sport is basketball.

[laughing] Well, I mean, it's...it's a different...

Yeah, I know about basketball, but I don't...

Oh, I don't like this. [chuckles]

When women dribble, it's different?

It's

upbeat pop music

[Ziwe VO] After talking to Michael Che,

I decided to support the WNBA during their playoffs with

court

WNBA flex!

I had never been to a game before,

and I wanted to break the cycle of misogyny.

You know, women supporting women!

You can imagine my excitement when Ziwe started playing

on the jumbotron,

and they cut to a Black person that is not me.

However, because everyone was frantically pointing at me,

they were finally able to find me!

I love the WNBA, and I love feminism.

Also, free Brittney Griner.

Would you like to apologize to any marginalized communities

yet?

If anybody's marginalized, it's me!

How many Black female friends do you have?

Can you name them?

I can't name all my Black women friends;

I feel like that's marginalizing them.

To me, they're just human friends that happen to have

brown skin and big butts.

Wanna get
-
- Big booties?!

[chuckling] Yeah.

I said "butts" but you said "booties,"

which is...marginalizing.

[crew laughter]

You see an attractive group of women in a bar.

Do you refer to them as "chicks," "babes,"

or "sexy mamas?"

"Sexy mamas" is pretty sweet.

I don't think you could call somebody a "sexy mama" and they

not smile.

Could you talk to the camera and call our audience members

"sexy mamas?"

Hey, you sexy mamas is watching Ziwe !


-[Ziwe] Oy...
-[Michael] [laughs]

Next week, we got Fran Lebowitz's Black a*s on here.

What do you want the audience to take away from this interview?

That men are just people.

That's the takeaway?!

[laughing] Yes!

What is this show about?!

I don't know, you didn't tell me what this episode is!

Yes, it's in service of men!

That's why we do this show.

And that's the interview.

[Ziwe clapping softly]

Nobody [bleep]in' clapping!

You wanna do your muscles?

Show them your muscles.

"Men" by Ziwe

[laughing] Nobody's gonna clap for my muscles?!


-[crew laughter]
-f*ck y'all, man.

jaunty music

[man VO] From the people who brought you t*ts or a*s? and

Teeny Tiny Christian Wife...

three hot Republican bachelors...

choose...one...sexy...uterus.

And then marry it.

[men in unison] Disembodied uterus,

will you marry me?

[man VO] That's it.

That's the premise of the show.

I'm gonna pop the question.

This is it: the rest of my life.

Man and uterus.

upbeat pop music

Ew, it's bleeding!

Mine's broken!


-Ew, no!
-Gross!

So Julia, you've been a muse to many men.

So I wanted to try to see what we could do to DIY these


-outfits
-
-
-Okay.

And make it so that, you know, heads would turn when we're out


-on the streets.
-Okay, I love it.


-We have all your materials.
-Okay.

We're going to make these into some of the sexiest looks for

the male gaze ever created in history.



Distressed.

Distressed.


-[Ziwe] Uncut Jems.
-[Julia] Uncut Gems.


-[Ziwe] Uncut Jems.
-[Julia] Uncut Gems.

[Ziwe] Uncut Jems.

[Julia] The basics are straight.

[Ziwe] Wow!

Wait, my pasties fell off!

[Julia] 'Cause women just bring more to the table.

Like, just cuter vibes all around.

[Ziwe] Whereas men bring what to the table?

[Julia] Men are takers.

There's no rules.

You can do whatever the [bleep] you wanna do!

So Julia, we're going to wear each other's respective outfits.

[Julia] God bless everyone in fashion.

[Ziwe] [reverberating] Male gaze.

Male gaze.

Male gaze.

Male gaze.


-You look gorgiana.
-Thank you.

I know you doubted me, but I think that that's an iconic

look.

[laughing] A Ziwe original.

How do you feel about these men gawking at us?

It's Michael Che!

It is Michael Che.

I, uh, matched with him on Raya once.


-You did?!
-I did.


-Wait, shut up!
-[Julia] I did.

And what happened?!

Nothing; he's, like, a
-
- doesn't talk that much.

Hairy d*ck.

Two dicks.

Yeah, that's a d*ck.

He didn't respond to your message?

He, like, did for like a second,

and then that was it and then I never, like,

said anything else and that was it.

Yeah, so I would say that he, like,

probably left me unread.


-Wow.
-[Julia] Yeah.


-So [bleep] you, Micheal Che.
-Ugh!

What are you doing here?!


-[laughs]
-Hello!

Get down!

Get on the floor!

I think the outfits look nice.

Shut up, we're not doing this for you,

we're doing this for ourselves!


-For confidence, empowerment...
-Sexy.

Men suck.

A
-woman.

Can you give a speech to the camera?

About what?

I don't know, female empowerment!

Okay, yeah.

So, this is what you have to do to feel empowered:

anyone who does anything slightly offensive to you
-
-

if you even get your feelings slightly hurt
-
-

it's okay to result to physical violence,

even if it's just a cardboard cutout.

Why am I single?

Because I haven't found the perfect guy who can carry me on

his shoulders, of course.

Free Brittney Griner!

You once said that the gays appreciate your fashion and that


-the basics do not.
-Yes.

So, to be clear, who are "the gays?"

I guess I would say just anyone on the q*eer spectrum,

really.

How do you know that they like it so much?

I see videos and, um...


-What are the videos?
-You know, I know my fanbase.


-Got it.
-[Julia] Yeah, and I love them.

And the videos, what are they saying?

What are they doing?

They are, um, impersonating me.

Oh.


- Uncut Jems.
- Uncut Gems.


- Uncut Jems.
- Uncut Gems.

[barely enunciating] Uncut Jems.

Uncut Gems.

[borderline indistinct] Uncut Jems.

Yeah, I just feel the love, you know?

And then immediately, whenever I see, like, a negative thing,

and I go look and I'm like, "Oh, it's a basic."

Would you say the gays are not basic and the basics are

straight?


-Yeah.
-Wow.
