power uh yeah man just an absolute legend of a baseball player i one of my first book reports i ever did was on hank aaron yeah uh and he's just a man like uh i remember it was funny it wasn't until maybe five years ago i just assumed he had passed away uh because he had been sort of like not as visible to me and then like after looking at like every like since realizing he was still alive, I'm like, damn, he is still so involved with the Braves and just baseball in general. Uh, and yeah, you know, his,

his, nobody's broken his home run record. Right. Uh, I think Barry Bonds did, but, uh, that,

that's got a fat ass asterisk on it. Yeah. Like that. This was, today was the first time I gave a shit about like, Oh yeah. Maybe Barryry bonds shouldn't be be considered the same like it shouldn't be in the hall of fame because uh dude yeah he blew his body up with injections when you look at what he looked like when he hit his record setting home run uh the 715th one yeah yeah he um wasn't it looks like every person yeah yeah yeah hank aaron looks like a human being like

just like he he doesn't even look like he's in particularly good shape uh and then when you look at barry bonds when he broke hank aaron's record he looks like a bionic human being like it looks like yeah he's like weapon x like before he became wolverine like what tank did you come come out of because also compare that to uh barry bonds of like you know 96 right when he was like a lanky dude he was the lanky guy in that Pirates team Bonilla was the big muscle-bound dude um Bobby hey Garen uh also you know dealt with a ton of racism not shocking uh in the south at the time he was playing, but he, uh, that's a, a detail of the, when he hit the home run that, uh,

broke the record and he's rounding the bases and these two white teenagers run onto the field to congratulate him. He thought he was about to be assassinated. Yeah. Because at the time he was basically encroaching on Babe Ruth's record. Yeah. And they're like, how dare this black man break Babe Ruth's record?

And if you listen to Bodega Boys, they have a theory that Babe Ruth was actually Dominican. But that was, I remember like, yeah, like that was like the, I remember in this, the book that I read, it was, If I Had a the hank aaron biography that i read of like yeah his description at the time was like almost like i remember as a kid being like but he but he's just good so he he was gonna break it why are they right he's supposed to not swing the bat right um yeah so yeah uh cool this is yeah shout out to white supremacy yeah, but I'm glad to see that he passed away peacefully, like in his sleep. And yeah, rest in peace. Lived in a Hank Aaron. Henry Aaron.

Donald John Trump is trending. Now I'm drawing a blank. This might just be a dad brain. But who is this? Donald John Trump. The guy from NS in sync right okay okay yeah no he's oh the fuck that was a get the fucking president man oh right right donald john trump right yeah right you still got yeah your second uh round of uh eternal sunshine treatments you could go through. It almost worked, Jack.

Almost there. It was all because Chuck Schumer got on the ones and twos, hopped on the mic, and dropped this bomb. There will be a trial, and when that trial ends, senators will have to decide if they believe

Donald John Trump incited the erection. I'm sorry? We will. john trump incited the erection i'm sorry we will yep incited the erection i mean sick i love it he's like oh thank god i didn't fuck up uh saying his name anyways moving on inside of the erection in my pants. What is what I meant to say? What? That's weirder than if you misspoke. No.

Fuck. Anyway, he's guilty. I'll shumer out. This has happened so much since Election Day and even on the like before Election Day election day, when stole the election, contested election, there were, like, I feel like at least every other week there was some clip of someone saying erection. And then it's always men doing it. That is what's great. Men have dicks on the brain.

Yeah. Yeah. Sorry, word. This is the state of it now. I am now wishing. When they're talking about the impeachment of a president, it still manages to be a dick joke dicks on the brain would be a good twitter handle i'm sure somebody has it but

um yeah i that's uh i think that's chuck schumer's burner that's pretty wild uh that first of all that that Hey, no one has dicks on the brain, if you want to claim it. Really? Alright, let's get it. That came up during the impeachment announcement, and also that it's always men. Women don't give a fuck.

They're not, they don't have the dicks on the brain. You know what, I will say this. My mom did it once, but that's only because she's a japanese she's an esl person and hells and rs and shit like that she did say that i remember in like 96 and it was like a joke in my family about the election insurrection and erection erection election i guess but yeah come on man whatever he's no He's no Kendrick Lamar with the lyrics. You know what I mean? He can't have his words in front of him like that constantly. Marco Rubio is trending.

It's, I mean. They just need to shut up. Yeah. I think their response to all these people right now is, shut your fucking mouth, idiot. So what's Rubio saying? He's just going like he's trying. Look, the right now has seamlessly shifted gears into.

I can't believe the president is doing this to the country. Like you have people being like our National Guardsmen and women are in parking garages sleeping. This is how we treat the troops right i'm sorry you didn't hear a sink the president was all good with bounties on fuck you like it's it's you know it's a waste of breath to even to even offer a counterpoint or rebuttal to that it's just like no y'all shut the fuck up i don't even know how the fuck y'all are still here. You're lucky you still get to fucking say shit. But yeah, he was out here basically describing Joe Biden's like radical leftist agenda with all the rights he's trying to restore and things he's trying to do. And it's just like, are you kidding me?

Because progressives and leftists are like, this is a centrist agenda at best. I mean, yes, there is a lot of progressive things. If we're living very comparatively in the continuum of American politics. And yeah, there's obviously gains being made. But to call this actually, whatever, just banging that stupid ass drum to try and get people to forget that they were the completely the architects of where we're at right now. Right now, specifically, not the entirety of United States history. Representative QAnon is also calling for his to the impeachment of Joe Biden for really unspecific. Or at least I don't I don't know why um what was cruz cruz was throwing some shit up there about uh i don't know it's exhausting shut up it's just like yeah y'all are liars um it's also like do we have to pay attention to it because we, we ignored it during the Obama administration. And then it became, uh,

what, what it became. I think it's almost, it's like you have to deal with a child, right? Right. If you're going to try and do any kind of reaching across the fucking cesspit to these people, you know,

I feel like on some level it's like, okay, then we have to agree on a way we talk about our ideas that we both can say we're drawing from the same well of facts and presenting our cases don't just come in here with you know these disingenuous descriptions of something to try and incite your base to just agree with you like if you're here to talk then fucking talk otherwise shut the fuck up thank you uh dave chapelle is trending because he tested positive for covet after a series of uh shows and backstage photos uh in which he and elon musk and grimes and joe ro Rogan are seen hanging out, not wearing masks.

You know, this story is mainly notable for me because of Joe Rogan's appearance in the pictures. Like just kind of going with what we were saying with Barry Bonds. He looks less tough. He looks. He used to look like a real like freaky bouncer guy. Yeah. You know what I mean? You're like,

ah, shit, dude, this guy didn't break your arm. If you, if you'd refuse to leave the bar right now, but now he just looks like, like the Mucinex bad guy.

Like he's become like a morph. And I'm not even trying to like shame his appearance. Like he's, he seems like he's turning from a morph and i'm not even trying to like shame his appearance like he's he seems like he's turning from this like warrior guy to some other i don't know he just looks very less rogany to me yeah agreed and his head shape has totally changed as as it tends to with people yeah like you know like remember juggernaut from the x-men yeah yeah like your shoulders in your head and you're like you just kind of this like oval at the top yeah yeah uh yeah what i mean who would have thought going on with business as usual um in the country while there's a pandemic would render uh these test results yeah so yeah hope you're hope everyone you know don't don't wish any badness

for him, but what the fuck you doing? Just look around you. Look around, read the room. But you know what? That just shows you there's so many people who are like, I'm too rich to get COVID. It's like, okay. Yeah. All right. Fuck around.

Find out. And finally, a story that was heartbreaking for me. Jane Krakowski from 30 Rock, from the Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. Ally McBeal. One of the greats. Has been romantically linked to the My Pillow guy. I don't want that for anyone, especially not Jane Krakowski.

This feels like a stretch of a story, but it's in the Daily Mail, so take that with a whole thing of Morton's salt. But here it is. Apparently they've had, they're saying they were in like a nine month relationship. And this has been like a long time in the making. Essentially. Uh,

Melendez 59, Krakowski's 52. And apparently it all came to an end after a weekend get together at her rented Hamptons beach house. And everyone was like, this is came to an end after a weekend get together at her rented Hamptons Beach house. And everyone was like this. According to her friends, this was an open secret amongst her friends. But like everyone was confused in her circle, like the fucking my pillow guy. Like, what did he what's his secret?

What is what is he saying to her? That isn't talking about like election fraud or whatever and they met like at some studio like years ago and then what happened was this is what they say from the source quote he sent flowers to her almost every week and champagne and bottles of different liquor she said she had known him for about eight years and they had been friends but then they started a relationship about a year ago right um yeah okay this is so weird yeah it's i feel like sometimes there are people with just so much at it like he seems like one of those people who's just constantly just at a 100 in terms of energy uh like he smoked crack to calm down like was like the vibes that you get from him and i don't know i just feel like sometimes there are

people who can just keep going keep going at an issue until they get their way right i don't yeah because it's non-stop clearly this is i won't take no for an answer yeah by sending inundating you with flowers and alcohol so like maybe you'll drink that and then your decision making will be a little off and then you'll say yes to going on a date with me and i'll try and maybe get you to be in an ad for my pillow it's yeah because like when you picture it in my mind she's like i'm jane krakowski and he's like george soros is dealing with black lives matter to get that like oh my god like what the fuck energy is this you know what i mean but maybe he's coming at it like any good uh con person

or schemer you know your audience so you're not coming with the hot takes on what's going on in politics you're like i just think you're so funny and hilarious. And I feel like, but the other thing in that article is saying like, she really admired that he was like, he turned his life around. Right. Like that was one of the qualities she saw in him. But it's like, but all the other things on paper you'd think would put you off like philosophically that you don't see eye to eye, but you know what you got, you know,

love is blind i would much rather be a drug addict than a fascist piece of shit um so he turned his life around into a big pile of wet shit yeah and now he can't get his pillow sold i think they're like like criminally on sale too right now pillows sold i think they're like like criminally on sale too right now oh yeah it's like it's like please just give me your address at this point enter offer code your address for a free one uh all right well uh heartbreaking news to end the week with uh that jane Krakowski has succumbed to this gentleman. But, you know, we still have hope for her. She's a national treasure.
