Joe Scarborough and a Case of the Mondays. What is
Markowski talking about? Now? Well, fans of the movie Office
Space will understand this completely. See, I couldn't put a
title out for a podcast that would go on to Google,
and I'm saying that, you know, Joe Scarborough needs his
ass kicked. So I had a phrase it this way
(00:39):
in the movie. In the movie Office Space, there was
a scene that was again the guys would come into
work and there was a secretary that was there, and
the secretary would say, oh, it sounds like you go
to Case of the Mondays. And again everybody would be like,
what are you talk What is this lady saying? You know,
(01:02):
just miserable because they all hated their job. Anyway, he's
talking to his friend neighbor there. They're having a beer
together and he's the guy's in construction. He's like, if
you go to work, does anybody ever say to you
sounds like you have a case of the Mondays construction
works Like, Nah, no, man, you say something like that,
(01:25):
you're gonna get your ass kicked. Anyway. I thought about that.
I thought about Joe Scarborough because man, oh man, the
guy went on a twenty minute rant going after Elon
Musk and Vivek who are volunteering their time to save
taxpayers money and saying how ridiculous what they're doing is. Honestly,
(01:48):
if there anybody was any media person that really needed
and ask kicking. Oh anyway, anyway, I'm just gonna pull down,
pull down some just a couple of things from today.
I'm actually thinking about making it a regular thing here.

stuff that we can get rid of. It's amazing to me.
(02:10):

our time. You ever ever click on sea Span. Yeah,

(02:33):
hotels and fancy trailers. People are staying intense. But yesterday,
if you flipped on Sea Span. They were having a long,
dragged out procedure about what no no no no no
no no no no no no no no, not helping
people from North Carolina. They were renaming a post office
(02:54):
in Baltimore. That's they're doing. And Alexandria Kasio Cortes was,
you know, giving a nice long speech talking about renaming
a post office in Baltimore. Again. You're honoring somebody by
(03:17):
naming a post again. Who I mean, that says a
lot about you, if you. If I die and somebody
you know names a post office after Honestly, I'm gonna
come back and haunt you, all right, I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be poltergeist man. The ground's gonna get nuts.

Six percent of federal workers show up in person. Here's
a random one as well. The Watch A watchdog group
(04:06):
says the EPA must step up oversight of the clean
school bus program. They gave eight hundred million dollars to
schools to buy clean, mostly electric school buses. Where did
the money go? They didn't buy the buses. I don't know.
(04:27):

beer taps and bars and the teachers lounges for crying
out loud could be. But at eight hundred million dollars
go missing the United States highest healthcare administrative costs per
capita the entire world. I go on here again. I
