Before getting to our turgid mail bag (which is positively bursting at the seams) I want to take a moment to look closely at the imminent demise of the SPLC. My complaint is the reason that organization is falling apart. After going through it, they entire staff realized they were being led by the blind and promptly began firing everyone or forcing them to leave. Founder Morris Dees is out. President Richard Cohen is out. Head of legal Rhonda Brownstein is out. Uh, you're welcome.
1- BE CHEAP: Don't go out with tons of people for a huge dinner. 2- TAKE ABUSE: You're not going to make money for the first two years of doing a thing. Get over it. 3- BE FUNN: When courting a lady, focus on having a good time, not getting laid. 4- WEAR CLASSICS: If you're not into fashion, stick to classics like Chuck Taylors. 5- DON'T FIGHT: If you need to get into a fight, keep it as short as possible. 6- DON'T EAT: Food is for pussies. 7- PARTY RIGHT: Follow the D.O.W.N.E.R. rules. 8- CLEAN YOUR ROOM: The road to improvement starts small. 9- QUIT PORN: Get off the couch. 10- FAMILY FIRST: Make good with your parents and siblings.
In this extra special episode we go over ex NYT executive editor Jill Abramson's terrible book, "Merchants of Truth: The Business of News and the Fight for Facts." I only read the parts that were about Vice when I was there and I counted TWENTY, yes TWENTY major factual errors. Since completing the book, Abramson has gone on to do lots of press for it that includes defending the multiple examples of plagiarism and telling many more lies like the allegation Proud Boys are "white nationalist" and I was recently arrested for brawling alongside them.
Today's show is dedicated entirely to the mail bag.
We get to a ton of emails, but we've barely scratched the surface.
The Netflix series "After Life" is incredibly well written but I don't think Gervais realizes how sad he makes childlessness and atheism look. Like Ricky, the protagonist has bucked tradition until nothing's left but your wife and that means, once she's gone, there's nothing left. Kids, please learn from the lessons Ricky accidentally taught us: get married, make babies, and believe in God.
We review the Joe Rogan Twitter special, and correct some of the falsehoods that were sprinkled throughout the discussion of Gavin and the Proud Boys being purged from Twitter. Then we reach into the Male Bag, AKA the Scrotum.
After a lot of heavy politics, we decided to make this episode super funny and comedy oriented. The problem is, simply focussing on funny topics does not a funny podcast make. This ep is less amusing than any of the political ones which may be proof I'm just losing my sense of humor. This episode could be the first of a sad decline in my career as a professional amuser.
After discussing how lame your ideas are when you're asleep, we get into a hodge podge of topics including all these miserable comedians who tell us how to live our lives. Dude, you just had a nervous breakdown and your buddy tried to kill himself. Stop telling us how to live our lives. We also look at the death of comedy in general, Justin Trudeau's prostitution scandal, Alex Jones on Joe Rogan, and a bunch of letters we've gotten recently in a new segment called "Scrotum" (mail bag).
This one's all about my vacation where I hung out with some of the fattest people in the entire world. Yikes! America we have a serious obesity epidemic and it appears to be getting worse. Why are you on a Rascal at Disney World? Because walking makes you tired? Yeah, that's the point. Walking isn't your enemy, the Rascal is. Anyway, I took the family to Mets Spring Training in Port St. Lucie as well as Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, Universal Studios, Volcano Bay, and Island of Adventure in Orlando. It was pretty fun but I think being a New Yorker may have ruined my personality forever.
I visited my dad in Florida and asked him why the media is in total and utter denial when it comes to the horrific murders of white farmers in South Africa. I also brought mum in to explain why this guy thinks he's so great - maybe he is.
