I remember I was in love with like the Miller Light person at the time whoever that was like this red headed person and I was in love with the Miller Lite person at the time, whoever that was. This red-headed person. I was like, oh man. The Miller Lite on TV or the Miller Lite rep who they sent to local bars?

Don't make me answer that, Jack. I'd like to think that she was hired by a corporate to be the national sports person or it could have been someone just giving away Miller light themed Mardi Gras beads at the studio suite. Well, speaking of national sports person, it is national horny day. And we were contacted by sex to talk it up.

Yeah. Get people. By sex to talk. We're we're the official. This is a branded officially, to talk it up. Get people contacted by sex to talk it up. We're the official. This is a branded officially a branded piece of content for National Horny Day. And what makes you hornier

than me talking like this? Yeah, Anna. Just a note from the producing team. They would like you guys to be a little bit hornier for this segment. This is as horny as I get ma'am here comes the hornmanian devil

and trans oh god we're turning into a morning zoo show it is a morning zoo show I don't know apparently this is the April 17th or the 16th is horny day there's a lot of I guess debate overth, or the 16th is Horny Day.

There's a lot of, I guess, debate over if it's the 16th or the 17th. But according to Twitter, it's today. Isn't Easter like the spring celebration of fertility or whatever? Yeah, I don't know. I mean, this is just about being horny. Oh, okay. I don't know i mean this is just about being horny you know so okay yeah i don't know what it means like everything on twitter is just you know iffy just posting some real horny content on maine

yeah now that is who they should have contacted yeah exactly for national horny day i'm just gonna call him right now be like what what is this holiday exactly i just think i gotta get these thigh picks off yeah national morning day get out there uh horn it up you know yeah i don't have to tell you guys with consent anglo saxon is trending holy shit dude uh why i actually don't know as fucking marjorie taylor green and these other fucking racist asshats have started this party uh that is like their america first caucus and it is truly even for america it's just like i thought the mass i didn't know there was another mask you could then take off to reveal how nativist and racist you are they somehow reached under their facial skin

and ripped that off to reveal david duke mask off to reveal right to reveal this hellraiser fully faceless nativist so the shit that's like in there sort of like you know i don't know what it is like they're on their website uh talking about their new caucus uh quote common respect for uniquely anglo-saxon political traditions and a return to architectural style that quote befits the progeny of european architecture it's just fancy nazi talk is all this yeah no that's straight up nazi yeah i mean it's the most in your face that's i mean like i guess it's the next level would be like and we got to get rid of all the black and brown the non-white people like that's really sure there's not a degree after this that isn't that because you're just trying to be like oh yeah we love it they say under the immigration section

quote america is a nation with a border and a culture strengthened by a common respect for uniquely Anglo-Saxon political traditions. And this isn't an alternative to the Republican Party. This is just like the Freedom Caucus within. That's cool that the Republicans have gone. Like, I remember when I was first learning about the world that, you know would hear about these nazi parties in europe that are like oh they're like openly nazis and that was something that you know america didn't officially have in the halls of power but uh turns out now we do yeah i mean it's and it goes on just all kinds of this weird you know not weird just straight up racist rhetoric of like, you know, like a powerful nation's assimilation is necessary.

So it's just some colonizer racist bullshit. But, you know, honestly, I don't know what to say because we live in a country where people vote for this shit because that's truly, they're all in on that. So the struggle continues. Helen McRory is trending. She is the actress from Peaky Blinders. She played the aunt from Peaky Blinders, I believe. She played Draco Malfoy's mom in Harry Potter, recently passed away from cancer.

I didn't realize she was with Damian Lewis, who I know because I have World War II brain, and I'm like, Band of Brothers, Damian Lewis. But man, the post that he put out, the statement in her passing, it was heart-wrenching to have to read that from someone whose partner has just passed away. But yeah, she was apparently, as he said,

she died peacefully at home, surrounded by a wave of love from friends and family. She died as she lived, fearlessly. God, we love her and know how lucky we are to have had her in our lives. She blazed so brightly. Go now, now little one into the air and thank you but yeah i know definitely a lot of people uh very familiar with their work so yeah awful awful awful you know yeah i hate to hear about cancer so fucked up so uh speaking of awful awful awful uh FedEx is trending because there was another mass shooting at a FedEx facility near the Indianapolis airport. There's another Biden call for gun reform that will presumably go nowhere.

But what do you mean? What did you say? Hey, hey, come on. Come on. Come on, guys. Yeah. Do something. Yeah. Anyway, who am i president gun violence is an epidemic in america but we should not accept it we must act so um strong words get your head

out mother strong man you're the president yeah don't ask these other people to have take so you can hide behind them because you don't want to be the one who comes out here and be saying, I'm the president of the United States. And this is what I believe the direction that the country needs to go in as president of the United States. So I'm like, Oh my God,

let me just pass, pass the hot potato, hot potato of responsibility to the other people who have no interest in doing anything. Isn't anybody going to do something? It's like, Hey, well,

don't make me come down there guys right or what you can do nothing again like that's why it was so it's only gonna the shit they say is it's only gonna sound more and more hollow and hollow and meaningless and more offensive and it's just gonna just say you don't give a fuck at least i don't people don't have to have any sense of optimism about it they can just be right in their cynicism of how you know a little dedication there is to keep the people of this country safe could he like how far can an executive order go could he just like do a blanket ban like what what because the most stringent possible gun control that i can imagine would immediately like we would see a drop in uh crime and suicide and homicide like and it would be hard to argue against that like just the

fact that politicians aren't willing to even have do that experiment like is pretty is yeah i mean you know because it's it's like anything you you have an eo and then it'll be people sue and it's it only lasts until it's canceled which means the next administration just fucking up and everything so it's it's like a while it is a band-aid fix in, like it can be completely ripped off by whoever is next in line. It's, you know, that's why it's like, yeah,

then that's why we need the laws to be changed and ratified. But this is just what the state of our political leadership is. The problems are so apparent, but it's just a, it's this crop of politicians who aren't, who are just absolutely incapable of altering the shitty bed that they've slept in for decades. Quick one that we didn't have on the doc, but Kyle Rittenhouse is trending because apparently cops have been donating money to his defense fund and saying, quote, you've done nothing wrong.

Thank you for your courage. Keep your head up. Every rank and file police officer supports you. Don't be discouraged by actions of the political class of law enforcement leadership. Yeah. That was from Sergeant William Kelly, a 19 year veteran of the Norfolk police department uh yeah they're a white

supremacist gang like prison gang and it's like where the fuck are these other cops at who you know you think are people who have a fucking soul in them right where the fuck are y'all because it's making it real easy for us to have this i don't i really don't like to believe in absolutes just philosophically speaking because i don't i really don't like to believe in absolutes just philosophically speaking because i don't believe in absolute anything but what is happening what are y'all doing how are you how are you even a cop and what do you do because i i i from what i'm seeing it's all y'all doesn't even matter who the fuck you are you're either you don't say shit and you don't do nothing about it or on the other end of it you can end up like Chris Dorner, who you try and fucking raise a point,

and then there's a mechanism in place to just be like, we're not interested in any kind of accountability within the department. T-Rex is trending. It has been revealed that they think there were 2.5 billions, 2.5 billion of these motherfucking T-rexes wait what in like over the light over the over the span of the existence of t-rexes okay where are these skeletons at thank you i mean that's what it really is like when you think about uh like, like I, I read some account of like how a, um,

how a fossil gets made. And it's like such a shockingly like specific set of things need to happen. Like you need to fall into it. Yeah. Fall into like a boiling mud, uh, lava lake. And then,

you know, like it's just all these weird things so like we just have such scant evidence of like what actually went on before we started writing shit down and i've and i've said this before jack i just don't think it's right to thwart the will of christ and his father god almighty by acknowledging the presence of these beasts and to say that they were somehow part of his plan right um it just makes no they were definitely put there to test faith for sure yeah and from what i was taught uh i believe jesus would ride these majestic beasts um across the land delivering his message of salvation so hell yeah man that's one of the first places that you

and i've talked about this off mic but one of the first places we're going to visit is the creation uh museum and yeah and just weep for finally being in the presence of the truth thank you uh grimes is trending finally because she got a sick back piece bro that's just been i don't know what the fuck she calls them alien scars what she just made it look like her back got fucked up it looks like old antebellum you know reconstruction photos of freed slaves who have you know whipping laceration scars on their backs but because they're symmetrical because they're symmetrical and done by a fucking algorithm we can call them alien scars uh-huh uh-huh it's a back tattoo i don't know like this shit looks ridiculous i

i okay yeah exactly like i don't know like what it's just part i don't know there's such a fucking weird group of people like that you're like yeah let this computer thing decide what this is gonna look like on my body you know what though your body your problem that's what i always say you know so you got to deal with it your choice anyways those are the things that are trending here at the end of this fun week. We are back on Monday with a whole ass episode of the show. And then until then, be kind to yourselves, be kind to each other,
