On This Week’s Episode
This week on the show…
On Day 222, I wonder if you are drinking patriot coffee, why there is no woke coffee, and hope that Bob Dylan will license his song “One More Cup of Coffee” to the woke coffee brand. I failed, up until this actual moment, to remember that Folgers had the slogan and jingle “The best part of waking up is Folgers in your cup,” which literally contains the word “waking” aka “woke!” So, I guess there has been woke coffee all along right there in our midst. That’s what they call indoctrination by caffeine.
On Day 223, I discuss my ride home from The Goonies in which I turned on that channel that is slowly becoming a propaganda arm called CNN just long enough to hear the leader of the Trump administration claim that he is stopping crime. I thought he meant that he is stopping committing crimes, but no. I forgot momentarily that he must have a small mouse that lives in his rotted brain that tries to remind him that he is a convicted felon, but that mouse just isn’t loud enough. Also, I reveal that I once interviewed Corey Feldman.
On Day 224, I address the rumor that went around last weekend that the leader of the Trump administration was no longer with us. Personally, I did not believe these rumors because I do not believe that the leader of the Trump administration would go out quietly. He would never leave this Earth without making at least a few parting insults at Barack Obama. I also take the opportunity to remind us all that we need to stop paying attention to this crap.
On Day 225, I posted a video that seemed to get shadowbanned because I said that I wish I could hate more. I re-edited it, however, to mute the word hate, and that seemed to help even though I hated having to do that. My point was that with all of the people hoping that by Monday we would see the leader of the Trump administration as Bernie in a Weekend at Bernie’s type of situation, we fail to remember that this dude has grandkids who don’t know that he is a piece of s**t. Let’s remember that.
On Day 226, I ponder the people who use that phrase “touch grass” as if we are all supposed to be the Peter Sellers film character Chaucey The Gardener as name-dropped by King Ad-Rock of the Beastie Boys in the song “Shazam!” from their underrated late-career album To The 5 Boroughs. This day is partially to remind us that time is short and to use it gloriously, but also to name drop this song and album because most people seem to have forgotten about them.
Day 227 is for discussing “Faith,” which, like “Shazam!” is an incredible song, but is not “Faith” by George Michael, I mean actual faith. Do you know there are people who believe in God and do not believe that God is the leader of the Trump administration? Yes, they exist, and they are self-aware and critical enough not to believe the lies of the leader or the Lord. At least the lies of religion are supposedly based in love. The leader’s lies are based on his love of lying and the marks who love his lies.
On Day 228, I elaborate about the reaction of the subject of my book and am reminded of the Barbra Streisand film The Mirror Has Two Faces, which I have not seen, but I was inspired by the title. When we see ourselves in the mirror, and then one day, there is someone else staring back that we don’t recognize, that can be a jarring experience. As I said earlier, I realized that when I gave my subject the book to read, I felt it was the right thing to do to be there for him as he processed my point of view. I am proud of the dude.

Hi. It’s Josh.
A few days before the inauguration, I was thinking about how I wanted to deal with the next four years.
I was exhausted by the news!
But I wasn’t interested in going completely uninformed. I wanted to use the “opportunity,” as I had decided to optimistically look at this timeline, to become more mindful and better train my mind to take in the “news,” and then let it fall away from my conciousness.
Efficiently and totally. The other aspect of this thought was to then take the personal time I was recla

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
