I like I really it's good for your health. Ship.
I talked to my therapist, you know, try and try
and get your mind right, and then like, are you

congrats on the success of the show too. Man. This
is doll Yeah kill me. The last time we hit
the road of pandemic basically cut that short. So you know,
I think that's that's just that's the gravity of the show.
The force of this movie shut the nation down, you know,
(02:34):
trying to you know, bring that ego down a little bit.
Then it did that. It did to the point where
yet now I cry on zoom therapy. Thank god you.
Technically we're called super spreaders. Um all right, yeah, anyway,
but yeah, good to see you, Good to see you. Goodness,
good to be good to be it, good to be it.
How's how's pandemic life treating you? You know, I mean
(02:57):
I'm kind of I'm kind of having a good time, man.
I mean, like this is like the most time I
got to spend with my lady. You know, we you know,
we work different jobs, so now we're both working at home.
So I'm chilling in the office with my girl. We
just you know, we eat dinner every night. I'm not
out running around doing shows. I'm just really spending a
(03:19):
lot of qut with my lady. Uh. It's been you know,
it's been trying to just trying to really focus on
what's like really important. So I mean, besides everybody a
lot of people dying, and a lot of people losing
their jobs and losing their income and all that terrible ship. Yeah,
I've been trying to like at least look at the
(03:41):
civil line and of people are starting to realize what's
really important in life and ship like that. So yeah,
apparently that morning was a hell of a morning, just
news wise to wake up to herman came passing the president,
the president trying to you know, and democracy in our country.
(04:02):
Uh it's coming back. Uh yeah. So I mean, like
if the NBA being canceled signal to us that things
were bad, shouldn't we just as much use the NBA
coming back to say that, hey baby, we're back or
we're dropping to a new level of Yeah yeah, right
right right. Watch the games. I watched a couple of
(04:24):
the scrimmages just you know, it's just something on and
I'm not as a Laker fan. I'm like, yeah, let's
just let's just get let's get a weird championship in
this season. It's like, yeah, that's the great thing about
a lot of the sports now. It feels like when
you used to go to like a community college sports
game and it was like, you know, I can't hear
the players and coaches, Like I don't even hear the
(04:46):
critinal crowd here, but I can't hear Yeah, Like it's
kind of talking. Yeah, we're gonna that's gonna be a list.
You're gonna start seeing its like best ship talkers that
have been revealed during the Pandemic League, because yeah, you're
gonna be able to hear everything that that Dodger's picture
who said nice swing, bitch, Joe Kelly, Yeah, I got
(05:08):
suspender for two games. Yeah, fucked up and fed up.
I mean, look, we're playing the Astros. You know there's
a fucking they stole the World Series. Okay, so there's
a Dodgers. There's gonna be problems. And yes he was,
(05:29):
I mean Joe Kelly, he's like one of those players
like how Ron our Test used to be when he
wasn't on the team you fucked with, where you like,
I hate this motherfucker, get him like, but then he's
on your team and you're like, yes, go on, Ron,
and yeah you got when you got like the Walton
Goggins Johnny Knoxville crossover face, uh talking ship to you
(05:50):
from the mound, it's really something else that's a shirt
unic swing. It's common. But I feel like then major
leagues like because they suspended him for way more than
(06:11):
you would have expected. But I think they're just trying
to get there, get ahead of the fact that people
are going to be throwing at the astros constantly, because
they should be, because the astros, all right, what they
should do is one batter should go up there as tribute,
and then all right, you can get it out of
the way the first pitches from your closer, just like fastball.
(06:35):
That's how the first pitch and the person is catching
it is just an astro who doesn't have a glove. No, yeah,
there's yeah, there's there's actually no catcher. It's just one batter.
He's straddling home base with his arms out like that
Da Vinci fucking just straight out and be like all right, man,
send it, send, send it. Go like and then but
(06:57):
they do that to protect the other batters, you know,
do you feel good? Oh? Man? But I'm I'm excited
for the NBA. This is gonna be hopefully it's a
tough It's a weird thing, you know, because on one level,
it's like these people are getting better care than like
the front line workers, so we can get some ship
going on TV. But then I'm like, yeah, but you know,
(07:19):
it helps distract me from the fact that the front
line workers are being taken care of, So what do
I do? Oh yeah, it's it's everything is just so
painfully surreal no matter how you look at it. Yeah,
and NBA players are pretty elite at what they do,
like to everybody wants to be an NBA player. They're
(07:41):
like the greatest athletes in the world. So I'm not
saying they deserve to be taken care of better than doctors.
But you're saying you as a Joe Schlub, You're like, well,
I would, I will give up my medical care for them.
So I got picture that was going around where people,
uh NFL players were kneeling and in the background a
cop was like standing up and someone was like, his
(08:03):
job so much harder than the NFL players, is like, no,
it's not. You can murder people and then get it
right and then in the NFL and they forget about
the hardest job anyways, Right, Greg, We're going to get
to know you a little bit better in a moment. First,
we're going to tell our listeners what we're talking about.
(08:24):
We kind of already talked about. Herman came past Gomer
Gomert Louis Gomert. Pyle is going all in on hydroxy
Clora Quinn. So we'll talk about that, uh, Trump's suggestion
that we delay the election, which not even popular with
(08:46):
his own party. We'll talk about Rush Limbaugh because we've
all been wondering what is his take on the whole
Black Lives Matter movement? Yeah, yeah, uh he's he doesn't
can't does not compute, He can't handle it. It's this
is so it's so bitter sweet in that like, yeah,
(09:07):
like this guy in his gigantic audience that people think
what he says is real, but also like to hear
the disbelief in shock of a white supremacist being like
we're outnumbered and then immediately blame women is like, OK, bullshit.
Yea wait wait till I wait till I roll the tape.
(09:28):
On this one, we will watch the whole process of
realizing what time it is, and then we'll also figure
out what we're watching this weekend with you guys. But
first Greg, we like to ask our guests, what is
something from your search history that is revealing about who
you are? Oh? Oh man, you know, um, since this
(09:51):
whole ufoh conspiracy, I'm a dB ufo dude, man, I'm
all in it, you know. Late night. So I'm just
I'm always searched for like UFO August, uh, you know
what I'm saying, or April. You know, I'm just looking
at months and just seeing what's going on. So that's
(10:13):
always my deep church, and it's always like around one
five in the morning, you know. Yeah, Yeah, that's my
that's that's usually what i'd be going for. Like that,
are you know, trying to figure out how to convert
fouls between when that when those videos came out from
(10:34):
the Navy pilots and stuff, what what was because I
think like when we were talking about it, we're like, yo,
we just really just talked about this video, like we
really aren't just out here talking about unidentified flying objects
like whether they're alien or just technologies that are so
far out there that like we're having trouble explaining it.
Like I was, like I was having a delayed excited
(10:56):
response to it where I was like, yeah, that's cool,
and then it hits you like like you know, what
the funk they're they're not even saying this is bullshit.
They're saying, yeah we don't know either. That's how bad
it is, right, Yeah, I think that's that's that tells
you how like bad ship is that. They're like, oh,
we really got to distract these motherfucker's with real ship,
you know, which is beautiful because it's real, you know. Yeah.
(11:17):
The interesting article in uh, like I think it was
the St. Catherine Standard from Vancouver that Canada's basically had
a full transparency policy. So like they're looking at us
being like, yeah, like why why would they hide that
as weird? Uh? And they don't. They don't think of
it as aliens necessarily. They just think of it as
(11:39):
like there's technology out there that we don't know about. Uh.
Concern in general culturally in Canada, they're they're just too
polite to believe in aliens. I guess I don't. I
don't want to offend them. Do you all remember when
Michael waves came out? I remember as a specifically before
(12:02):
microwaves and micro waves, and I saw my first microwave,
We got our first microwave, and I was like, the
funk is this? This is? This is real? There's some
crazy g ass technology, you know. Yeah, that started my belief.
Plus from Virginia where all the aliens come that true?
Are there a lot of aliens? Via Virginia is a
(12:22):
lot of it's a lot of water, um, and plus
all those military bases up and down Virginia, right, Yeah,
they do seem to like the yeah, like you get
over here, they're still flying around on that ship powered
by old dinosaurs ship. Oh my god, these motherfucker's got nukes,
(12:43):
like like over flying. What is something you think is overrated?
I think expensive cars are overrated. I think, um, that's
my new Now. If you're like rich dude, you know
you're super wealthy and you've got like a really fucked
(13:05):
up F one fifty four nineties seven trunks, I think
you're the dopest dude ever because I just think like
expensive cars are like corny as fun because my two
thousand one Honda Civic can drive on the same roads
as your Ferrari can and you're gorn ball same for you,
the same, not exactly the same, but like legally like
(13:28):
it's not like your lap to drive a hundred and
fifty because you can. This is just corny. Yeah, So yeah,
that's like like Zach GalF and Nakis drives that like
super ru around you know, like you always like you
always and almost to the point where like when I
see old super us. I'm like, I bet that's that
out of it is I get Tesla's you know, if
(13:49):
you want to get like a nice those thirty things, Tess. Yeah,
then built in. Yeah, that was my favorite thing. Someone
I knew had when I was like and they were
starting doing all the fart sounds that you can send
to the speakers. Yeah you pud whoop, because she basically
built into the car so you can like send a
fart noise like the back rear like the uh like
(14:12):
passenger side rear passenger speakers sort of like or whatever.
It's just it's you know, it's some Elon musk ship.
But hey, you know what I'd be lying if I said,
you know, that's tight exactly what we would do if
we designed to come right all black. But I would
make a smell too. I can't deny that. I think
(14:33):
those trucks are kind of dope looking beautiful. Best cyber
truck thirty eight thousand two. That ain't that? Ain't bad?
Yeah thirty eight thousand, huh for that for that cyber truck. Wow,
I don't know that. I'm you know, I'm a master guy.
You know, I'm trying to try. It's just make it
(15:00):
too hard, bro, Like, you know, I would love c
x nine. But something about the Superus. Uh the CEO
of Scripts was the company that owned cracked the butt
cracked and then fired. Everyone is a terrible company, but
(15:21):
uh their ceo who's like really really you know rich
dude in Ohio, so like you know that money goes
really far. He drove a Subaru out back and then
like the second in command also drove a super U
out back because he was a kiss ass. Uh what
is it, Billy, like my like my out back to
(15:42):
an out back? Oh that's yours? Yeah all right, I
didn't even notice. What is something you think is underrated? Uh?
Good toilet paper? Good toilet paper? Yeah yeah, tell me now?
Just growing it. I think people there's different strokes quite
(16:03):
literally for different folks when it comes to wiping your butt.
But what is it about the quality specifically for you?
Is it how a certain thickness that you need a
certain texture? What is it? Well? You know, like as
a struggling comedian for so many years, uh, living with
comedians in San Francisco, we only really bought toilet paper
(16:23):
when like Ladies was coming to the crib. You know,
we had like napkins and paper towel from my pizza around.
You know, we're just you know, terrible struggling comics. Yeah yeah, yeah,
But you know, now as a grown adult man, full
grown and with my lady and whatnot, you know you
gotta get that good to three ply nice Uh no
(16:46):
sented because the ladies don't like the center because if
you know it fox up. But you know, good good,
nice thick toilet paper to keep your butt hole nice
and nice and good sented toilet they got sent to
TP everywhere. I must have just like blinders on because
that idea is just that's a non starter for me.
(17:09):
There's no need for that. Like I just for the
accidentally have like scented garbage bags. I'm like, what the
fund is this so off putting, like to have like
half fabrize tropical luow with like old garlic and like
onions and ship. It's like, yes, yeah, keep my garbage funky.
I don't mind that ship. You need the center begs
(17:29):
for diapers though, that is absolutely crucial, so I can
blame oh yep ye, I don't even need to go
down a bit and thinking about that. Yeah, uh, what
is a myth what's something people think it's true, you know,
to be false or vice versa. Um I knew going up.
People used to think that if you put old batteries
(17:52):
in the refrigerator, that the batteries would like charge up again.
Did you that I heard the seeing this is and
maybe this is a black people thing, because my my
grandmother insisted every battery in the house was in the freezer,
every single one. If you weren't being used, they were
(18:14):
in the freezer. And I don't know if that's a
refrigeration myth or whatever, or to your point, if that
was like something about electrons somehow moving back into the
battery to give them a charge. But she I tell
the thing that I would grow. She's like, they're gonna
last long, they last longer, put them in there. If
they last longer. That way, you can buy batteries from
these batteries from sixteen years ago. They've been in this freezer,
(18:34):
and I'm like, I don't think they work. What happens
is I guess if you put if you put like
a dead battery in the frigerator, not the whole power
doesn't go. They'll work for like a quick second and
then they're done. Oh but yeah, yeah, I don't know why,
but from a and then they're done like enough to
be like get the TV on basically right right right?
(18:55):
I remember that. Yeah, Like when you'd have the like
triple A battery remote st uggles and you're like, funk,
where's another one. I'm like, I think there's a toy
that had it, and you're like sucking smashing ship open
and you're like, You're like, I just have to get
the fucking TV on and then I can use the
fucking rested with the channels in the vibe. Just need
this motherfucker on. The first Game Boy, it took eight
double eight batteries, man, Yeah, game and the and the Walkman.
(19:22):
When it started running low and the music would just
start getting like the voice will be like wrong, yeah,
getting chopped. Yeah, but it would like go, I had
one that would go for a long time like that,
so you just it would be like imperceptible. You'd be like, wait,
is this is this off? Does this really sound like that?
People they're talking the scroll cup from that Yeah. Uh alright, guys,
(19:55):
let's take a quick break and when we come back,
we will talk about what is happening. What is happening exactly. Uh,
we'll be right back, and we're back, and so too
(20:17):
GOP developments in the COVID nineteen crisis. As we mentioned
on yesterday's episode, Louis Gomert uh tested positive for COVID nineteen.
And we had mentioned weeks ago that Herman Canada tested
positive for COVID nineteen uh and was doing better the
(20:38):
last we checked in with it. But he actually just
passed away yesterday. UM. Pretty horrifying, you know, seven four
year old, uh, nine days after he was on stage
without a mask in Tulsa, now a lot. I don't know,
No one knows exactly when and where he got it,
but I can tell you because of how the you know,
(20:58):
Republicans look at just general safety around COVID, that he
was probably surrounded by people with no regard for anyone's
fucking safety no matter what. Uh. And yeah, you don't
have to speculate about there's pictures from the event. Yeah, yeah,
like everything. It's just like that's what's sad because then
there are people who are trying to, you know, on
(21:19):
the right, say that the politicization of his death or whatever.
It's like, well, no, hold on, Like the fact is
on the right, they'll keep talking about making people wear
masks or social distancing is like an overt political statement
and oppressive and dot dot dot dot dot wentout really
actually understanding that you're the real harm that's being done
by you exercising this so called right to be free
(21:41):
and not wear a mask or whatever the funk it is.
It's just really fucking dark and like to see this
play out in a lethal way now where untulso it's
like people were like, yeah, okay, yeah, COVID Okay, we'll
see yeah, okay. Uh. And then eight staffers tested positive
around the time of the the rally, Herman Kaine's passing away.
(22:02):
And then you got Louis Gomert out here putting his
Hubris fully on display. He's saying he's going to use
hydroxy chloroquin yeah, to cure himself um coronavirus, when the
f d A and pretty much every other medical institution
on Earth is saying, uh, this is shown to be
pretty much ineffective as a treatment for nine Yeah. I
(22:25):
mean there's I did another round of research because there
was the doctor from Houston who came out and you know,
backed by a bunch of people in white Coats saying
that hydroxy chloroquin was the cure. So I went back
to the lab. Did you know the lab being did
some googling and they're there and yeah, I mean they've
(22:48):
done the research, so it's not like, well, we just
don't know yet. The New England Journal of Medicine, which
is like the primary like the paper of record or
journal of record when it comes to medicine, was like, yeah,
we did the test and there's no evidence that this
uh improved people who were suffering from COVID nineteen. It's
(23:11):
just there's a There was even that young woman who
died in Florida because her mother was adamant that hydroxychloroquine
would be the way out for her and that would
cure her because the president said it works and she
believes them. And Louie Gohmer and he went on Handity
the other night, right after his diagnosis, and he was
(23:31):
like this is where he said, He's like, I'm taking
hydroxy clorquin. Just listening to him, he sounds a little
bit like he really wants to believe what he's saying,
and he's talking about him and his doctor going on
in but I mean, this is just sort of his
exchange with Hannity, Any thoughts on it for yourself? Yes,
yes I have. And thanks for the discussion you've had
(23:51):
about it. You know, you've talked about the one study
that said it affected him to be withdrawn. So yeah,
doc for an hour all in And I got a
text just before I came on from their friend doctor
that just found out, he added, And he he started
the cube regiment to shows incson and the hydrodrox chlorin,
(24:16):
and that will start U just in the their two
he said he couldn't even say the name of it
sounds like and he does not sound good. I know
part of me wants sound bad like that. Part of
me wants to say it was like some some just
compression happening over the skype call. But there there's a
you know, some little froggy. I don't know. That's what's
(24:37):
just so dark about it, you know, like this this
this is not a fucking game to have COVID nineteen
and like to then just be like I'm gonna go
on Hannity and like push this talking point while I
don't sound very well and I'm not even that he's like, yeah,
so uh, we're all in, like It almost seemed like
they knew it was a gamble, like just being like,
let me just go to the hospital and like actually
(24:58):
just do something like that, other than being like, oh
guess what, Donald Trump, I will put my body on
the line and try and become a hydroxy chloroquint miracle cure.
Example for you to just wave your flag. Right. It's
just it's deep. How much money do you think they
got in this? Man? They gotta have so much bread,
so hydroxychlorin I mean, I don't think the dude's really
(25:18):
gonna use it. I think he's just gonna go up.
You know, he's just promoting, you know, Pepsi is the best,
you know, getting this real. They putting orange juice and
me right right right, I'm just like, he must have
so much bread behind this. But I still think a
lot of conserving. I'm sure a lot of people early on,
(25:39):
because that's just the nature of anything like this, Like
let's get in early on whatever the thing the government
is gonna buy massive amounts of, and then now we're
getting a taste of that. But you could tell just
about how hard this Everyone is just so confused by
the hydroxy chloroquin. But now it's that a rithin myasin
zinc that the the bottom line is, it's just it's
(26:01):
it sends the worst messages out to anybody who's confused,
especially conservatives who are you know, just as at risk
because they have human carbon based bodies like everybody else
that they're seeing this stuff and be like, okay, maybe
you can, maybe you can. It's just I mean and Trump, yeah,
I don't know if he has money in but like
his whole president he feels like he has this whole
(26:23):
presidency writing on hydrattic for Quinn because he like he
needs there to be a conspiracy against him or against
you know, something that the mainstream media is lying about
so that he can you know, be proven right, because
otherwise this is not a good look. It was well,
I mean, like last week he started doing the whole
(26:46):
uh COVID meetings again, you know, the and last week
he's he's like, I was like, Okay, he's starting to
like that's up. Let's say, you know, it's gonna get
worse before it gets better. And I was like, somebody
must have talk to him. It's like he's like an
abusive dad that he just beats asked for a little while,
and then people come and talk to him like, yo,
(27:07):
you gotta get it together, and then they'll have like
a good day, everything right, and some people are convinced
like Okay, I think he's coming around. Yeah, and then right,
it's really really really really fucked up. Yeah, and then
now you know, like we're looking at who knows how
how much further the death toll rises. Uh, And because
(27:29):
you know, I think the unfortunately people that are most
effective aren't sort of like the white Americans that you
put on the kinds of commercials that would really sway
public opinion. It's just like it's also a lot of
people are insulated by their own privilege and class and
also not really fully connected. This is just really it's
just so so so dangerous, and for the people who
(27:51):
really need to help aren't getting it. Yeah. Yeah, that's
an argument you hear from people is like, well, I
don't know anybody who's had it, and that's not gonna
be true for very long. But also like what the
it's well, who do you know? You do you know
other like you know, upper middle class people who don't
have to go to a job at all and can
just stay at home in order food in all day
and not do anything and just lament about how bored
(28:14):
they are. If that's your life, then yeah you might not.
But you also you are living up in a fucking
tower um where the real world is very chaotic beneath you. Yeah. Yeah,
it's sad. But you know, once this is over, like
two years down the line, when we started looking back
at all this data and just looking back at all
this video footage, it's gonna be some real sadness and
(28:36):
like comparing going on. Man, it's gonna be pretty horrible
how we treated each other. Such a shame just such
a shameful, shameful period. Like I mean, most of the
history of this card is shameful. But like when you're
looking at it like this, when it's like knowingly being like, yeah,
we're not gonna help anybody, like we'll help these rich people.
(28:57):
I mean six dollars gone six Why did it take
trillions of it? You know? Yeah, yeah, I hope that
there's a reckoning of like people coming to the realization
they were wrong. But I think no matter who wins
the next presidential election, like that that of America that
(29:19):
is still head down just supporting Trump, they're not going anywhere.
They're not going to be like, oh, well they lost,
I guess we're going to come around. I think they're
still going to be obstinate and you know violent. I
mean they're already violent and are already violent, and he's
in the White House, so like what are they going
(29:39):
to do when he's not in the White House. They're
already are leading terror organization and if they don't have
win the election, like we already see what happens. They're
just such babies. Uh. I think it sucks that the
boogaloos have this, right, Yeah, that was such a good
(30:02):
I'm good man, I'm good. Yeah, I just gotta throw
up shakra, you know, like hang Louis Bro' gonna take
that hank Timon. Alright, let's talk about the president coming
out suggesting that we delay the November election, um, which
(30:23):
you know, immediately a lot like the A P came
out and changed their headline to Trump suggests a delay
which will not happen, which is pretty pretty confident. Uh,
coming like it's like, well, it's hard because it's written
in law and then you have to change the law.
But yeah, there's gonna I'm sure they'll they'll find something
(30:44):
they're gonna fuckory spell like they always do. Um. But yeah,
like in the very normally if they are president, was
saying like we should do that, then that process traditionally
is damn near impossible right now. But yeah, well we
can never know. Almost made Bill Barr really until that happen,
(31:06):
you guys think gonna happen. I don't know what's gonna
I don't know. I don't I'm willing to say I
won't bet that it won't happen. Yeah, that much so.
Earlier yesterday, the AP headline was Trump floats idea of
election delay, which can't happen. Now it is Trump floats
idea of election delay, a virtual impossibility. So they're they're
(31:27):
softer than their stance, I guess I think because they
even know. They're like, yeah, someone was like, yeah, but
what about Bill Barr, you know, in the Department of
Justice being a total fucking joke, And they're like, right, right,
right right, So virtually in any other reality, this would
not happen, supposedly. Yeah. This tweet came literally minutes after
(31:49):
news hit that he'd fucked the economy worse than any
other president in the history of the country. The second quarter,
the US g d P shrank by their d percent
over thirty which is the worst economic performance the US
economy has ever had us because of coronavirus. But that's
(32:13):
I mean, that's what you gotta do. Because economy used
to be the thing he could run on. Then he couldn't. Uh,
And then you get more evidence that the handling of
this has only exacerbated all the issues economically in the country.
So yeah, he's trying the time honored smoke bomb, but
now it's just like everything just I don't know, like
(32:34):
that's the thing. It used to peep the media even
had the appetite to completely shift gears, and sometimes they do,
but it's starting to get so transparently, more and more
desperate that I think people are just looking at it.
They're like, oh no, like it's just you're saying all
these things. But it's just the point where it's just
like that no one knows what even how to respond
to it. It's like, yeah, he's saying all this ship
(32:55):
and I guess we're just gonna have to wait and
see because we know what should or not happen. But
he's talking like he wants to do all this ship.
So we'll play this very nervous waiting game up until
November to see like how much he wants to erode
these institutions further or at least, I mean all the
way he will evaporate them. But he wants to evaporate them,
(33:15):
and yeah, it just makes me nervous. Anytime that I'm like, yeah,
but they can't do that, or anytime anyone's like that.
William Barr and Pompeo are both out there giving these
like noncommittal answers where they're like, well, I don't I
haven't looked into it, and it's like you've been before,
like yeah twice last year, Like okay, then, motherfucker, what
(33:38):
are you talking about then? And then the other bullshit
is sort of like if you want to use this
concern troll tact, it's like, well, you know, I don't know.
Between the mail in ballots, which again we all know
just the general rule is when everyone votes, conservatives lose.
That's just that's just how it is, because it's a
dying ideology that people are like this has no use
(33:59):
anymore or in this new world and country and culture
we find ourselves in. But if you want to use
this idea that well it's too aside from the vote rigging,
that it could just in a pandemic, you know, just
could be really unsafe to have people vote. Then how
are you opening schools too? Like all of these things
can't like all of these things can't be true. So
it's just a very It just only makes things more
(34:23):
unsettling and chaotic for then other people to think, like, well,
if I go to school, is it is it okay
for an election? But obviously not. But the president says this,
and it's it does a good job I think of
making people like, you know, like a lot of ship
can happen without really noticing because you're so you're your
footing is so off because you're getting hit with all
kinds of ship constantly. We're all getting crossed up. Just
(34:48):
skipped to my louse, just ray for Austin, just sucking
checked into the game, and I'm I find myself isolated
against hot sauce at the top of the key and
he's telling everybody to clear out the key, you know,
And I looked down and my shoelaces are tied together.
(35:11):
Look over at your coach. He's like, I look around
my coach. He's already wearing an airbrushed memorial T shirt
the post trying to destroy the post on this is
It's terrible, man, It's terrible. All right, Let's look at
(35:32):
just national opinion around Black Lives matter, just because I
started getting like for the very first time some so
I remember a time when the arguments around gay marriage
were viewed something like the arguments around defunding the police
are now like, you know, it's obvious to us what
(35:54):
is right, but they're political roadblocks to make it not
feasible at all in the near term. Uh. And then
suddenly everything shifted and it was a majority opinion that
people who loved each other should be able to marry
each other. But the difference between the mainstream public reception
(36:15):
of just the kneeling protests, which obviously not the crux
of the issue, but it is like a signifier, have
been shifting really significantly. You know. It was a minority, uh,
like a pretty significant minority opinion in favor of the
people kneeling during protests. And recently CBS News asked people
(36:41):
whether kneeling during national anthem to protest racial discrimination is
acceptable or unacceptable, and fifty eight percent said acceptable. So
we're starting to see at least some sort of shift
in the overall you know, public perception of of this
conversation around on police violence and you know, white supremacy.
(37:04):
But uh, you know, so when there's a question like this,
we obviously looked to our national expert on these issues,
Rush Limbaugh, who has some interesting things to say on
the ship. I'm sorry this fucking old white man. He's
so out of touch. It's so there's like this pole
(37:26):
that he was talking about his show that showed like
some you know, something like sixty five six support, uh,
somewhat of the Black Lives Matter movement, and he's just like,
I don't, I don't. I don't understand, like what's going
on here. So we're gonna we're talking to this guy
who's he's a he's a cab driver in St. Louis.
So first he has this man on who's a cab
(37:48):
driver from St. Louis and this first they start off
to think they're both kind of in disbelief that they're
seeing a lot of Black Lives Matter yard signs up.
This is what he's gonna describe. And he's also tries
to explain like what the Black Lives Matter yards ties
are really about. Um, that's whole for Black Lives Matter,
in my opinion, reflects the outrage over the killing of
(38:09):
George Floyd. It does not reflect support for the full
Black Lives Matters. Somehow the pole was able to capture
that in the way it was worded or the way
they led people, or however it was communicated. That's what
they tapped into. Half the Black Lives Matters signs out
there came up right after George Floyd was killed. So
(38:30):
that's okay. I don't know what what again, because I
think in the conservative media sphere, black Lives Matter is
a terrorist organization funded by George Soros that is here
to basically wreak havoc on white communities by destroying the
police so that thugs uh and millie rockers and break
dancers loose on sets like Ray Gay out here. But
(38:58):
Russell Limbo famously has no tie, so he's definitely a
race strummerd fan. So his whole thing is so after
he hears that, you know, like there's he's like he
has to cut this man off, and he's like, wait,
people got yard signs, Listen to this one? Hold are
you Are you telling me that as you as you
work your average y're driving around in St. Louis, you
(39:19):
see Black Lives Matter signs like you would see a
Trump sign or a Biden sign and people strut yards.
That's a long pause. He does out like wait is
that he was like, wait, hold on, hold on, they're
like white people who put a sign in their yard
(39:39):
saying that they think black lives Okay, So this is
how much he goes even deeper into the denial, this motherfucker.
Then he has to survey the studio because he can't
believe what this man just said to him on the phone.
Listen to this part. No, no, no, no, no, wait wait,
I need to do a survey here. Have you guys
seen Black Lives Matter signs in yards? Not in your
(40:00):
neighbor I have never seen a Black Lives Matter sign anywhere,
like like you see a Trump sign or any other
politician sign. You're saying that Black Lives Matter signs are
are are all over the place in St. Louis. Absolutely,
they were originally in the African American neighborhood. Then he
goes on and blah blah blah, wrestling bucket, what fun
(40:27):
vanilla coke. What is going on? There? Are there are
that many race traders? Oh my god? So then he's
now so he's he can't he doesn't know what he's
really He's then convinces himself that it's these pollsters that
(40:50):
are you know, work reworking the data to present, uh,
you know, a very unbalanced opinion of what the country
actually looks like. You. But but the posters obviously are
doing this purpose a slate, because I'm telling you, folks,
I think this is this is another attempt by Gallup
and whoever the posters are to shape public opinion and
not reflect it because I refuse to believe, I refuse
(41:14):
to believe that sixty five of the American people support
this insanity. Wow, you see it's I think it goes
to show you what are bubbles look like on all sides, right,
whether it's progressive liberals not believing that there is an
entire nation of aggrieved, working class white people who are
(41:37):
looking for just I don't know what to make of anything,
and are willing to vote for this racist guy. The
same way this man has been so insulated by his
uh you know, ignorance and racism that he's not even
in a situation to be around people who would voice
their support in alignment with the Black Lives Matter movement,
(41:57):
like that is really telling. And whether that's wilfully he's
not trying to look at it, or he's it's not willful,
it's happening, and it's just very interesting. There's a very
like visceral rejection having to it's not. It feels different
than him just being like, yeah, okay, sure, yeah, because
you know there's gonna be these liberals out here. Yeah,
they're they're gonna do anything. It was almost like he couldn't.
(42:18):
He's like, they're at our doorstep. Yeah, it's great. I mean,
you know, it's like when when it gets to that
point where they're like, oh, it's here, but I just
can't accept it. It's great. You know. It's like those
guys that I couldn't accept my son being gay and
then it's just right in my face and I just
gotta deal with all. Right. I think the same thing
(42:42):
even like with the gay marriage thing. Right, it's like
a weird, outdated like opinion that has just sort of
existed in culture and if you haven't taken the time
to examine it, or you in your life has not
intersected with a person in the same sexual relationship or
you know, non traditional marriage. Uh, then yeah, like you you, you,
you might not be able to get rid of those things.
(43:03):
But then the second you do, and it sort of
becomes you're like, yeah, what the fund do I care
if the gay people get married? Like that actually has
nothing to do with me, So yeah, And then the
same way with this, like yeah, what the fund do
I care? If? I'm like, yeah, do like police need
to relax on like this like racism ship like that
actually literally doesn't affect me. I'm saying like yeah, in fact,
like I think it would be cool if there was
(43:23):
less bullshit. Now I think a lot of people agree
with that general statement. But then when you get down
to the defunding and those other sort of details, maybe
things start to fracture. But that sentiment of sort of
like do you believe it's bad for police officers to
brutalize unarmed black and brown people, It's like, um, yeah, yeah, yeah,
(43:45):
it's going on. And then then so then because c
because when we all are faced with some realities and
some truths we just cannot accept, we gotta start spinning
the wheels and be like, there has to be another explanation.
So he's he has an idea where that sixty percent
came from and who's really been driving this whole Black
(44:05):
Lives Matter movement? What's it called? Like the sixty eight
degrees of like um of dealing of coping? Was it?
You know, like eight of denial coping trying to like rationalised,
negotiating rationalization through all of that. Because sure they didn't
(44:30):
reverse the numbers that's six or five percent or six
percent in that poll. Did they ask if black lives
matter or if white supremacies chill? If it's a whole
last five? They need to word these polls. So gen
Z understands what we're talking about. Its white supremacy a wave.
(44:50):
So yeah, this is him now being like, okay, nah,
whatever stage of grief is, which I guess you suld
blame white women for everything? Yeah, I got now. I
believe that of millennial white women might support it, mm hmm,
But I don't believe sixty of the American people do.
(45:13):
I know that this protest is largely driven by millennial
college educated white women. Huh? You know, more and more women.
I'll get I'll show you what I mean in the
next hour. But more and more young women in this
country are becoming nothing more than the hoods. Your average
(45:35):
ne'er do well in the hood? White women, Um what
white women, millennial white women, you are the new black men.
Welcome the eyes of the great rush limbod so his
whole again, you have any black person movies, as any
(46:00):
who has been around any activism the last couple of months.
You like, who's driving this? Oh yeah, you white women.
But I think because the ally ship is so traded,
like it's so visible, and you see, Like I think
that's the problem is he cannot believe that he's like
white women. Like white women used to pull up for
racism very subtly, and now they're marching for black lives.
(46:23):
Was like, I can't, So I think to them because
white women are like the greatest force in politics in
this country. It's like, that's who's behind Black Lives Matter
all of these It's not the entirety of the country
that is rejecting systemic racism, which he's white women who
went to Sarah Lawrence. You know, bachel was behind the
Black Lives I don't know who Angela Davis is did
(46:47):
she go to Scripts College for women. It's like, what
these liberal art degree you know, he has a niece.
There's a niece or a cousin, your second cousin who's
behind this opinion? Right right, who's thinking of shaded him
at Christmas or something a couple of years ago. You know,
I'm really disappointed in Melissa. She she changed her last
(47:09):
name because she didn't want to be a Limbaugh. So yeah,
I mean, you hate to see it, and you'd love
to see it. That is my favorite piece of audio
we've been But yeah, right, I think, yeah, shout out
to Watt for appointing me in that direction. But but
I think at the same time, this is also this
what's going on in the minds of some of these
(47:30):
older white racists and younger white racists who are like, like,
like I said, it's the fourth quarter for some of
these people. And I'm not going to just sit here
and let I'll be damned if I let white supremacy
go by the wayside just like that because some college
educated white women decided to make some signs um And
that's why you know that the opposition will grow, I think,
(47:51):
or maybe you'll see how many people really have that
kind of energy, Like I'm sure it sucks to be like,
oh my brand is losing. Uh, it sucks. But then
but just the same, you see these counter protests where
there are plenty of people who are willing to you know,
confront allies of the Black Lives Matter movement or anybody
who is against systemic white supremacy. So yeah, yeah, and
(48:14):
those are I mean, that's all I really believe that,
you know, going forward. Uh, I don't know. I'm not
saying that the election in November is a foregone conclusion,
but I really think that eventually the thing we're gonna
have to worry about is you know, terrorism on behalf
of those that that group of people, because it's still
(48:34):
a still an incredibly significant portion of the population that
is willing to you know, kill people. Uh, we've seen
multiple times. So sure, let's uh, let's take another break,
and when we come back, we'll figure out some bullshit
that we can all watch together and talk about. On
Monday's episode. We'll be right back and we're back, Uh,
(49:08):
and Greg, what we usually do on Friday's episode as
we look at what's trending in the Netflix Top ten
and pick something to watch U with with our listeners
over the weekend. Today, I wanted to also look at
a couple of other so that there's a rundown of
the top ten movies on Netflix during July's one thirteen days,
(49:29):
so a little bit broader of a window. And then
also we have the top ten movies on Netflix of
that we can look at. Miles, do you have anything
are you heading into uh this exercise with anything kind
of catching your eye. I've already been watching the new
season at Last Chance You. Okay, So I just like
(49:52):
like sort of underdog sports things. Um, and this one's
about like Laney College up in East oh I didn't
so it's and it's interesting because the past couple of seasons, Um, yeah, fun,
I'll just talk about Last Chance You. I'm probably gonna
finish that ship anyway. Actually no, I'll do something different,
but I will say if you're interested in all sort
(50:14):
of like underdog sports stuff, the entire Last Chance You
sort of series is great, but the Laney one is
cool because this program, unlike the other ones, they're able
to like house and feed their student athletes. At Laney
they can't, so these kids are truly on their own.
Uh And like dealing with all kinds of ship while
trying to, you know, get enough tape to try and
get a scholarship to get to a D one school. So, um,
(50:35):
with all that said, I'm open to all kinds of things.
I mean, that's one that I want to I want
to hear you kind of talk about for a little while.
So why don't we go? I mean, that is in
the top five, and that's one that's going to keep
coming back into the into the tip I'll talk about
last chance you then, all right, let me just run
through the top ten Netflix movies so far of the year.
(50:56):
The Old Guard, which I did an amazing job dissecting
a couple of got the main no, you got his mentions,
got ripped the fun I got the main actress wrong,
I got the like origin story of the movie wrong.
I've I just totally fucked up. Which, Um, so the
(51:20):
Old Guard. I'm not going to review that again. We've
talked about the Lorax is Dr Seuss movie, but the
SEUs hate needs to end on this podcast. Who is
SEUs is the best? Yeah? Um, The Willoughbyes is number eight.
(51:40):
I don't know that. It's a two animated film for children. Um,
you've been you've been, uh, just watching so many children
like child Contact. I think you need to get into
some adult ship. Yeah, Angel has Fallen, which I have
not watched, Extraction, which I'm gonna need to watch eventually,
but I think I might just like it and that
(52:02):
might just be boring for me to be like, Yeah,
it's kind of dope. There's some good action scenes, and
that The Wrong Missy uh is at number five, and
then Spencer Confidential is at number four. Spencer Confidential apparently
eighteen consecutive weeks in first place on the Dayly Top ten.
I think I think we needed I think that's the one. Jack.
(52:23):
I think I need to watch Spencer Confident. And when
you when you look at Netflix, is it serving you?
Which image the post Malone cover? Yeah, always post Malon.
I didn't know it was a Mark Wahlberg movie. I
thought it was. I thought it was a post Malone vehicle,
post Malone vehicle. Yeah, this is gonna kick off post
Malone's action career. Running out. Yeah, he really is running
(52:46):
out the top three five days, the Horny Polish porn,
softcore porn, uh, and then the Angry Birds movie too,
and Despicable me despicable me is I've said it before,
but they with the mingions, they hacked into a part
of children's brains. It's uncanny work of genius. The minions
(53:11):
are just so uh like, I don't know, so visceral,
the love that they bring out from kids, my kids.
If there is if we're driving down the four oh
five or the one oh one and we are going
by Universal Studios, there's like a minion so you can see,
like often the distance they will see that, they'll they'll
(53:33):
be like, yo, yellow guy like my some when we
were first, he had no context whatsoever. We were just
going by it really fast on a on a viewing menu,
and he was like, stop, go back twenty twenty frames
that one, the one with the yellow guy. I want
to watch that. It's wild. Um. He still calls them
(53:54):
yellow guys, but he is obsessed. All right, So I'm
gonna watch Spencer Infidential and uh tell you guys, what's
good with that? Um? Have you seen any of these? Yeah,
I've seen definitely gonna watch the NBA when I saw that,
the one which at least there and the uh yeah,
(54:15):
I've seen Guard dug It, loved it. I can't wait
for part two to come out. It was fun. Yeah,
it was good. I like it felt like that Will
Smith movie she did with Will Smith was a superhero,
but it was all funked up. Uh and when they
when they got close, they lost their course handcock. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
(54:36):
it felt like it felt like a like derivative of Hancock.
I've been watching a search Party though on uh HBO.
Search Party is so good. That's one that's like too
good that I don't I wouldn't have anything interesting to
say about it other than, man, this is so good.
It's good. I got friends that right on that show,
and I was like, I didn't even know they were
writing on it. It's it's good. I'm one the third
(54:57):
season now. I only watched the first season, and I
thought it was so great. That's funny. I don't know
what happened in the second season, but like people are saying,
the standout performances in the third season are people who
weren't even in the first season. Yeah, I have some
catching up to do. But the performance by her tall
like doofy boyfriends. So he's so good. And it's on
(55:23):
HBL now they jumped from TBS to HBL, so yeah that. Yeah,
if you're a Search Party fan, though, there might be
some good content coming from our network that around Search Party,
but I won't say allegedly allegedly supposedly supposed Yeah, what
do you call willy hood? These white women are just
(55:48):
becoming black guys in the hood. God, damn, that's beautiful
white What is that? Is a big thing with racist though? Right?
Like remember those cops in u Wilmington, North Carolina who
got caught saying like wild ship on the UH radio.
But they were saying stuff about how like white women
(56:09):
worship at the all black man washing their feet? Yeah,
I mean that's always been a big yeah, yeah, exactly,
So I mean this is not now Now who will
be with us? They're taking on a woman? Yeah, it
can't be my repulsive racism that's left me alone. It's
(56:33):
these damn spells of hip hop instrumentals by Mike will Maiden.
What is that? Have you heard bands of? Make them dance?
Man to your dance encyclopedic acknowledge just like mad at It.
(56:56):
I mean, I mean it's it's it's absolutely out of control.
Motherfucking Rick Ross. I mean, I don't know he's going
up in a versus against to Chase. I don't know
about that one. See that's the real ship though, like
maybe hate that ship. And then like you see and
they're the video or something that they're like, oh the
(57:18):
