Starting point is 00:00:00 The following was recorded from inside an ice plunge. Ah! Woo! Okay. All right. When a Coors Light is cold enough, the mountains on the can turn blue. So the next time you want a cold lager, cold filter, cold package Coors Light, just wait until those glorious mountains on the can turn blue.
Starting point is 00:00:27 It's easy to say that fast when you're freezing gold. Spring is here, and you can now get almost anything you need delivered with Uber Eats. What do we mean by almost? You can't get a well-groomed lawn delivered, but you can get chicken parmesan delivered. Sunshine? No. Some wine? Yes. Get almost, almost anything delivered with Uber Eats. Order now.
Starting point is 00:00:43 Alcohol and select markets. See app for details. Howdy, Jamokes. How are ya? It's Josh and Jilly here on Tuesday night, fresh off Mexican and movie night, where we go see a movie for $6 and the popcorn and sody pops are reasonably cheap, and we eat Mexican food for dinner. It's pretty simple.
Starting point is 00:01:04 Mexican and movie night Tuesdays. It's about 1010 in the central time zone and I think we're in the bottom of the seventh of one of the baseball games. That would be the Dodgers and Padres. Hopefully the Padres win and win the series because the Dodgers have proven themselves as if they haven't done this over the last decade of being playoff failures, the Dodgers proved themselves to be giant poons. We talked about it a little bit last night, but Dave Roberts, who will be fired once they lose this series, they will fire him because in all the years of having all this giant payroll and winning this division constantly and having all the resources they have.
Starting point is 00:01:50 They've won one World Series, and that was during the COVID, which isn't even a real World Series. So congratulations. But we talked about a little bit yesterday about how apparently Manny Machado threw a ball at him in the dugout, and they've been all fighting and everything. I saw the video of it, which people have posted like the Zapruder film. There's people with camera phone angles and different angles of it. And you got Ken Rosenthal posting about it and Jeff Passon posting about it. And all it is, the damn dude throws the ball into the dugout.
Starting point is 00:02:21 And Dave Roberts, you would have thought somebody plucked him. Like, what are we doing here? I hope the Dodgers lose tonight and they're currently losing by a run. I hope they then lose tomorrow and that series is over. Here's honestly what the Dodgers should consider. Considering that they've got giant vaginas on the field, they should just go take the thugs that fight each other in the stands and mug people out in the parking lot and let them play
Starting point is 00:02:49 because they have a little bit more of a pulse and bigger balls than Dave Roberts or any of his players. So here I am sending prayers up. Now, by tomorrow morning when I post this, you'll already have known how this game ended, so this may mean nothing to you, but my prayers are going up for the Padres and my boy Mike Schilt my spirit animal my man I hope they win tonight win tomorrow win this damn series and
Starting point is 00:03:13 put the Dodgers out of their misery because the Dodgers are quite possibly the worst having said that Mexican and movie night tonight we went to see Jokeroker uh joker 2 electric boogaloo and i was very excited to see this film i've spent like a year waiting to see this movie uh anxious for it excited just like beetlejuice beetlejuice there's a couple of movies i've just been locked in ready to watch excited to see let's go beetlejujuice Beetlejuice was fine it was watchable whatever Twisters was another one Twisters I was fine again fine watchable wasn't the worst movie wasn't the best movie there was no Helen Hunt I was let down by that waste of time ultimately like I would tell you there's no point in watching it if you're watching it hoping to get like
Starting point is 00:04:02 you know some sort of recall to the 1996 twister that's one of my favorite movies so it was fine but I didn't really care for it all that much Beetlejuice Beetlejuice I liked but a lot of the shit was in the trailer and then it came down to Joker and is Joker gonna be great all the reviews terrible I think it has like a 30% on Rotten Tomatoes I'm getting messages from buddies of mine that saw it say, this movie's terrible, but I want to get your thoughts on it. I got people tweeting me saying, hey, can you give us a review of Joker? I ignored all the negative because I said, you know what? I love the original Joker.
Starting point is 00:04:37 I love Lady Gaga. Let's go. That said, after two and a half hours at the cinema, sitting next to a jamoke that was on his phone for half of the damn thing, because people don't understand the concept of if you want to text, stay home. This isn't hard. You're sitting right next to us. At one point, I was distracted from the film. I'm watching this guy text. He was texting a book to somebody.
Starting point is 00:05:07 He was writing a long diatribe to someone to the point that you then looked at me and you're like, what the fuck is this guy doing? Well, it happens every time we go to the movies. Is this just a St. Louis thing? What is this? I've never seen so many people that are just on their phone the whole time during a movie.
Starting point is 00:05:21 And you're someone who's addicted to your phone. Yes. And not even you do that. No, I have respect for the sanctity during a movie. And you're someone who's addicted to your phone. Yes. And not even you do that. No, I have respect for the sanctity of the cinema. We've had this discussion before. But then you're able to look around and even though people dim their screens, you can see five, six other people in the theater
Starting point is 00:05:36 on their phones during the actual movie. Not the trailers where you watch a bunch of movies that you have no interest in seeing because these trailers are pretty much god-awful. It's nothing like, other than Wicked. wicked wicked is the next movie i'm excited for i have gotten myself i did i've not seen it on or off broadway i've gotten myself excited for wicked because jilly doesn't want to see it so it'll be like a matinee for me one day i'm gonna go sit and i'm gonna watch wicked and i hope it is wonderful but so there are people at the theater who soil the sanctity
Starting point is 00:06:07 of the cinema and disrespect the cinema by just texting and it's like I can understand it if like you feel a vibration in your pocket maybe you're like you're you know you've got kids at home that are with the babysitter so you got to kind of give a peek just to make sure like Timmy didn't get his head stuck in the banister you You know, like I get that. But when you pick up your phone and you're just like, well, here we go. And then again and again and again, then don't come to the movie even on discount movie night.
Starting point is 00:06:36 But it's not like they've been putting their phone down. They're just on it for 30 minutes straight. Although with this movie, I understand because it was terrible. Yeah, and getting into the actual movie, every bad thing that i read from people about the movie was essentially true it was boring it goes absolutely nowhere half of the musical it's actually 90 of the music is just singing it's not original songs it's just like singing you know captain and tenille and yeah
Starting point is 00:07:05 but i feel like we knew that because that was the whole thing is they spent like millions and millions of dollars to get the licenses for these songs that's why their budget was so high because they had to pay more than they like they just bought all these songs and it was not worth it it was i mean just a boring slow nothing happens uh and i don't want to spoil it because I mean look I get it if you saw the original you want to see the second one more than likely even though the reviews are bad and a lot of people didn't it's essentially a bomb at this point um I get all that but I'm watching this just waiting for shit to happen kind of like how eventually like it culminated in the original with him shooting
Starting point is 00:07:45 Robert De Niro and there's chaos in the streets and like something happens. I sat around for two and a half hours just waiting for something to happen. It was one of these movies that like I forgot to put on my watch and I certainly wasn't going to look at my phone to see what time it was because I didn't want to be a dick like the guy next to us but I found myself like if I had my watch it'd be that one of those where I kept looking at it wondering when like I wanted it to be over to the point that I was so bored that I lost track really what was happening spoiler alert nothing and I'm just like I want it to be over I'm not going to get up and leave the last time we got up and and left a movie, and this was back when we lived in Houston. We were still on the air the last time we got up and left a movie.
Starting point is 00:08:31 We got up and left a movie called Night School starring Tiffany Haddish and what's his name? Kevin Hart. Okay. And to be fair, we did mornings at the time. And I'm not fairly certain. I know for a fact that I fell asleep. I'm pretty positive I snored because there were like two other people in the theater at noon on a Wednesday. I think they were laughing at the fact that I was snoring.
Starting point is 00:08:56 I woke up just in time for a scene where Tiffany Haddish farts on Kevin Hart, I go we're the fuck out of here I cannot watch this giant piece of shit this is one of the worst movies ever because you and I were trying to think of some of the worst movies we've seen in recent years and this is among them it has to be like and we've got we went to see the John
Starting point is 00:09:20 Cena's a fireman movie I mean we've seen a bunch of shit well we go to the movies just to go to the movies. So we'll go see movies that are probably shitty. But sometimes those are pleasantly surprising. Like the Bautista when we talked about the killer's game. That was 27 times better than this movie. Listen, if you told me, Josh, you're on a desert island and you can only bring one movie with you and your choices are Joker, Folly Adair, or you can bring Bautista is a hitman that
Starting point is 00:09:50 thinks he's going to die, then puts a hit out for himself, but then realize he's not going to die. So he has to take out all these other jabrons. I would watch Bautista hitman movie 1 million times. It was enjoyable and there was action and it was kind of funny it wasn't two and a half hours of of shitty covers of carpenter songs with no action whatsoever some of the movies that we watch on netflix that we'll just watch when it's like a friday night nothing's on we're like let's make fun of this looks like it's gonna be like awful those are better than joker 2 yes i'm confident and say well this is the last one we watched and we're like it was it was the one where it's like the high schoolers and uh
Starting point is 00:10:32 and i forgot the guy who produced it but like they have like a party there's a big party it's kind of like project x but not as charming incoming incoming was what it was called we also watched the one with Zac Efron. Now, the Zac Efron, there's a tie-in to a lot of the shitty movies. John Cena is in them. And John Cena was also in this movie. I forgot what the hell that movie was called. You're thinking of a different Zac Efron.
Starting point is 00:10:58 Oh, no, okay. I'm sorry. Rewind. You're thinking of Ricky Stenicki. Okay. Ricky Stenicki is another shitty zach efron movie the one we you're thinking of was the romantic comedy where we're supposed to believe that like like first of all zach efron looks really weird now but like relatively young dude zach efron wants to bang
Starting point is 00:11:17 really old fake face nicole kidman right yeah that movie honestly though like i think the bautista movie was more realistic than zach efron wanting to bang very unappealing face pulled back 60 year old nicole kidman that movie still kept my attention more than joker 2 and it was a shitty rom-com i don't even know where the comedy was it was just mostly just a shitty rom. Then we watched the one with Adam Sandler's kids. And again, that was better than Joker. I forgot what that was called, but it was like, you're so not coming to my bat mitzvah, is what that movie was called. Then we watched the one with Bill Burr.
Starting point is 00:11:58 Look, Bill Burr one was fine. It was nothing special. But again, it wasn't trying to reinvent the wheel either. It was just shitty comedy. My point is, there are shitty movies on Netflix that we know going into are going to be shitty that turned out to be way more enjoyable than Joker 2. It was just boring and slow and no action whatsoever. I don't find myself rooting for or against anybody that movie holiday way better
Starting point is 00:12:27 than joker 2 with emma roberts everything with emma roberts is good she's bad shitty netflix movies like so many are way better than what i just spent two and a half hours doing i had a p probably like an hour or so in but i was like oh i don't want to get up because i'm gonna miss like the big twist or i'm gonna miss the big part and that big part never came and I just had to pee the whole time it's like somebody said we got a shitty script and it's going nowhere what can we at least do to try to make it somewhat interesting like it's a shitty script nothing happens what we need a hook and back in the 50s and 60s they would take really shitty movies and what they would do to get people in the building to watch the shitty movies is they would put 3d this or or like the
Starting point is 00:13:13 guy would put like a buzzer in the seat so when the giant tarantula comes up on screen your seat vibrates in your ass and you're like oh i'm spooked out or you'd wear 3d all these movies of the 50s and 60s were there's a lot of bad ones, but they put 3D on you, and that was the hook. The gimmick for this is, well, if we have them sing shitty songs by the Carpenters, like really, if they just took out, I'll say this. I thought there was a point in the movie where it was going to turn, and the turn was he's in the makeup, and there's a point in the movie where it was going to turn and the turn was he's in the makeup and
Starting point is 00:13:45 he's doing the um he's there's a musical number that it's an original musical number they're in the courthouse i think is where it takes place and i'm like okay i think this is where the movie's about to get more interesting because this is where he's like i'm the he basically is like i am joker and like um and i thought that's where the movie was going to pick up and at least have some sort of zoom at the end of it. There's no zoom. I thought of in my head now, because I know there's like movies that we've said were terrible. And here's the movies I can compare this Joker to.
Starting point is 00:14:18 The John Cena firefighter movie, which actually may have been slightly better. I remember nothing about it. I may have slept at the Stafford movie theater when we went to see that that shitty johnny knoxville movie action point okay now that was terrible okay but let me tell you why it was i forgot what the movie was called it wasn't called action points it is and it was based on the action park and it was actually called okay but here's like that movie had zero plot at all it was just like here's johnny knoxville getting kicked in the balls doing jackass shit when that happens but that movie had zero plot at all. It was just like, here's Johnny Knoxville getting kicked in the balls doing jackass shit when that happens.
Starting point is 00:14:47 But that movie, I think they almost tried to have a plot with it. And it just it was bad. Well, they're like, listen, we got we can't fill out. And that movie was only like an hour and 15 minutes. But I would agree if you said, Josh, here's your options. You can watch the Johnny Knoxville action point, action park, whatever it was, movie where, a movie where all the ball shots were in the trailer. So you knew all the ball shots that were coming. I would watch that over the second Joker.
Starting point is 00:15:12 Another bad movie that we saw was the Jonah Hill skateboarding movie. All right. So that's called 95 or 98. It was something like based on like when he was a kid. No, mid-90s is what it was something like based on like when he was a kid no mid 90s is what it was called that movie was again boring and slow and uninteresting which is i mean it's par for the course and one more that i could think of i've been spending the entire time since we got out of the movie trying to think of like what the worst movies were that we watched i don't know if
Starting point is 00:15:40 you count this but i think it was in theaters but but maybe it wasn't. It was that fucking George Clooney movie from a couple years ago when he tried to bring back the rom-com with What's Her Face. Okay, that movie, Julia Roberts, that movie, and I forgot what it was called. It was on Prime, and I forgot what it was, and we made it through about half, maybe a quarter of it, maybe 34% or so of the movie. And again, we watch movies sometimes just
Starting point is 00:16:06 to make fun of them yes that was so bad that we couldn't even finish it to make fun of it let me put it this way i had to pee during the movie as well my fear was that if i went to pee i would just keep walking to the exit i'd be like you know what i'm not climbing these stairs again you're back to joker too I was talking about that Clooney movie. Oh no, tonight. Like I had to pee during the movie. And I'm like, if I go, I will be texting Jilly saying, just meet me down here.
Starting point is 00:16:33 I'm bored. Like we could go home and watch this baseball game that I truly don't have any interest in either. But I'll at least watch that over Joker. Like it's just, again, like, it was boring. And as I said earlier, it's kind of like this. 50s and 60s movies, they just take a really shitty plot, and they're like, what gimmick can we put on it?
Starting point is 00:16:55 Oh, come in and watch 3D or Tingle Vision or whatever. Like, oh boy, there's spiders that fall from the ceiling during the giant bug movie. This movie was like listen we got a really shitty script nothing happens it's boring what can we do to add a gimmick to this and it's like i got it have them sing and i still had faith for this one because usually we'll see you know like the rotten tomatoes score the, OK, if the critics hate it, you know, we like some movies that people hate. See Popstar.
Starting point is 00:17:28 By the way, I think the critics liked Popstar. Just no one else in the world but us saw it. Well, same kind of thing. Whether it's the critics or the fans, like there'll be movies that get bad reviews and we think are funny. This. So I was like, OK, maybe we'll still like it. No, no. OK, back to the Ricky St stinicky thing like we like dumb
Starting point is 00:17:46 horror movies like sometimes those are like really pointless and dumb and absurd but they're funny they move there's something happening yes i'll say this i would put this on the level of winnie the pooh blood and honey i don't think that's fair to winnie the pooh blood and honey which i think there's a sequel um it's called winnie the pooh uh folly adoe i would say this is more on the level of that movie with the stupid fucking chucky cheese things yeah that movie sucked too five nights at freddy's is that what that was called yeah that movie was boring as shit too like i didn't really have any interest but if you said josh you can watch one of them maybe I would watch this just because Gaga's in it and I love Gaga and there's certain times she's really pretty Gaga's got a fascinating thing about her though there are some times that Gaga is so pretty and then other times you're like yeah she's kind of basic you know basically she was really
Starting point is 00:18:40 pretty in the entirety of Star is Born and then then in this one, there's certain moments. You know that I love Harley Quinn, the whole look and vibe of Harley Quinn. We didn't even really get that in this movie either. Yeah, I was just quite bored, and I've been let down. I've got to just stop getting excited for films now. First of all, again, the trailers ruin everything. As we're walking out. You go, look,
Starting point is 00:19:07 the trailers, which were pretty basic, still had almost everything that happened in this movie in the trailer. Every line, every line was in the trailer and it was a very vague trailer. So I thought, okay, they did a good job with this one. Nope.
Starting point is 00:19:20 No, it's like, how do you fill two and a half hours with nothing? And there is literally nothing. I think part of the reason I had a struggle with watching this as well is that basically the whole first movie was one of those movies where at the end of it, it was basically just all in his imagination. Like it was part like his fantasy. So you're watching. It's kind of the same thing you get with an M. Night Shyamalan movie where back when M. Night Shyamalan was like at his apex, now he makes Signs and Unbreakable and that one where all the people live out in this weird community.
Starting point is 00:20:12 What the hell was that movie called? Where at the end of it, like the hook at the end is like you just climb the fence and you're out of this weird world. What the hell was the name of that movie? That was kind of like the big stretch of m night shamalan movies it was it was uh six cents signs whatever the hell that one was called and then he did he also do a movie called lady in the water i think that maybe was one too but i i didn't even see that one and unbreakable and you would go into these movies and you can't really enjoy the movie because you're spending so much time waiting to see what like oh boy you're trying to guess the hook it's like watching an episode of law and order and you're like there's the diddler like
Starting point is 00:20:54 like when you watch an episode you're watching svu and you're like two seconds in you're like he raped that kid you're like no he didn't that's the rapist i can tell he raped and that's what you would do during an m night shamalan movies you're like hmm are there really aliens and of course like signs which was a fine movie until the end of it when you realize you can just basically throw fucking water on the aliens and it killed them what the hell was the name of that movie where they i think it was a one word title and they like they were were in like basically at the end of the movie, the gal just climbs the fence and she's out of this community. But anyway, that's what I was doing in this movie for a lot of it too, was like, oh, is he actually just imagining this as well?
Starting point is 00:21:35 Or I mean, obviously he was imagining a lot of the musical numbers and shit. None of them happened. Spoiler alert. Yeah, it's dumb. So that wasican and movie night tonight mexican was good movie not so much uh other stuff going on today the um aaron rogers got his coach fired although he claims he had he was floored and blindsided by it look if you if you'll buy that i got some oceanfront property chief there is no way in hell that the guy they're paying 35
Starting point is 00:22:06 36 37 million dollars a year to uh at quarterback has no clue that the coach is getting whacked you can you look not a chance in hell you can tell me that all you want I don't buy it um I've really grown to dislike Aaron Rodgers a lot. Not for his beliefs. I think he's kind of a wacko. I don't find him that interesting. Some of his stuff's fair. Some of it's dumb. But I just find him to be kind of a self-absorbed,
Starting point is 00:22:32 uninteresting guy that basically gets on the pat-mac of his show and says dumb shit. And we're all supposed to think he's enlightened. But really, he just sounds like a dipshit a lot of the time. So you're looking forward to the Aaron Rodgers documentary? No. I have no interest in watching an Aaron Rod rogers documentary watch that well i see the weird shit he does look i'd watch it but you asked if you asked if i was looking forward to it that
Starting point is 00:22:53 means you'll probably like it well maybe but like and it's not his political shit because there's a lot of shit i agree with that's the other thing i find interesting like how Twitter works is I made a joke after the coach got fired and I said well leading candidates are like RFK Jr. and Joe Rogan and some guys like oh well big guy how about the fact that Joe Rogan and Aaron Rodgers were right about the vaccines I'm like I'm just making a fucking joke. I don't want to get into a fight with you about vaccine beliefs. It's just a fucking goof. But like people get so defensive and so angry over these people. I'm like, he's fucking Aaron Rodgers.
Starting point is 00:23:37 He's a toolbox. And not only is he a toolbox, he sucks at football so much. In fact, that he was six yards short of his 250 passing yards that would have won me a bet early on Sunday. If that would have hit, who knows how my Sunday would have gone. He set my, my Sunday backwards by throwing a pick at the end of the game,
Starting point is 00:23:57 instead of throwing for six more yards. But I understand you have your own issues, but Aaron Rogers is just like, there was a long time that I really kind of liked him because of the fact that all the liberal media people hated him. And part of why I would still enjoy him is because of that, because I think they're Looney Tunes as well. But like, I just find him to be insufferable.
Starting point is 00:24:21 And if he were still good at football, I think he'd be more tolerable. But he's insufferable, if he were still good at football i think he'd be you know like more tolerable but he's insufferable and he sucks at football and he got this coach fired and then acts like he has no clue that the coach is going to get fired not to say that this salad was a very good coach if you look at his record it's abysmal but like you got the dude whacked and then you're like i didn't do a day i i was floored by this and then you cancel the mcafee appearance he's doing it tomorrow well whatever point being in all of this is that i find him to be a tool and he is a tool not as much of a tool as howard stern but a tool nonetheless
Starting point is 00:24:57 um i was reading something like look i understand that people can evolve and change and like you're allowed to do that. So like when Stern will do something or like make a comment like all Trump people are basically idiots and he hopes. Was he one of the people that was like, I hope you all like get the COVID and die or was that Jimmy Kimmel? I forgot who said that, but one of these crazy people that are allowed to say the weird shit they're allowed to say um without any sort of blowback from anybody i know that he hates the trump people and thinks they're all stupid and hopes they never listen to his show again and blah blah blah blah right but like when people want to combat stern they'll post like pictures of him wearing black face and all this shit and i'm like look the guy did a lot of fucked shit. You are allowed to evolve and be different and do different things and have different
Starting point is 00:25:48 viewpoints from when you're in your thirties to when you're in your sixties and all that shit. But you still did it. But because people agree with you politically, they ignore all the vile fucked up shit you used to do. But what I find interesting is there was something that I didn't watch this interview or listen listen to it. I couldn't tell you the last time I sat down and listened to an interview that Stern did. I think they're largely boring. I think he's extremely boring. And basically what it'll come down to is right-wing people will agree with me that he's
Starting point is 00:26:16 boring and left-wing people will say, oh, he's grown so much and he's the best interview in the business and blah, blah, blah. Yes, there's only so many times i can hear you interview seth rogan about the pot he smokes to like i don't care anymore i'm bored with it you're clearly bored doing this shit you're just collecting a check good to see that stern finally decided to come out of his basement to do an interview he's only been there for five years since the covets but he interviewed kamala and i saw a quote pop up on Twitter and I don't know if it was real or not. I'm going to assume it's real because a lot of people posted it. It wasn't just like one person. It was retweeted. I saw a bunch of different people quoting this interview with Kamala. And at one point he says something along the lines of, you know, we really need SNL to stop
Starting point is 00:27:01 making fun of you because this election is too important. And I'm like, dude, I get that you can evolve. And I get that like shit you did in the 90s is different than shit you do now. Just like when like John Wayne used to talk about the gays and shit in the 70s and interviews. You're like, oh, people were different in the 70s. It's a different world. Like when Al Jolson would wear blackface in the 19 teens you're like look I wouldn't do that today but it was a different world in the 19 teens and people did fucked up shit and that was just kind of the acceptable
Starting point is 00:27:34 things you know Genghis Khan type of shit you can't be Genghis Khan in 2024 but back when Genghis Khan was Genghis Khan that was just kind of the norm and then people would go in and they take your fucking land and whatever like that's just the way the world was people have a hard time dealing with the fact that that's the way the world was and they all want to live in this weird guilt over shit that happened hundreds of years ago I do not because I'm not a dipshit and I don't care but I'm listening to this and I'm like dude here's what bothers me about it is that I don't believe that a lot. I'm not going to be one of those people that now like retroactively clutches pearls over all the shit Stern used to do. Because he used to.
Starting point is 00:28:14 Now, I do think some shit he did was not done in satire. I think it was fucking awful. Like if you were to do it today, you'd be out of a job. But like in the mid 90s when Selena died and he basically just started putting on all these shitty mexican accents and talking about how horrible her music was and playing gunshot sound effects in the background and i'm like it's not even really funny it's just mean you know but a lot of the shit stern did and i'd say basically up to the point about the mid 90s stern did a lot of shit that was satire and was kind of lampooning racists and lampooning everybody. And it was cutting edge, legitimately funny, amazing shit. And you can't take that away.
Starting point is 00:28:56 But to hear that guy who did those things, whether it's the really vile shit that you would even look at now and go, oh, that's a bit much much or the really funny shit where you go that is cutting edge satire that was perfect and he did a lot of that shit mostly when basically shit got worse when Jackie left I don't want to go into a whole Stern show breakdown but once Jackie and Billy West left the show sucked you can tell me all you want about Artie and all the shit from like 99 2000 on show show. Wasn't good. Then the show was at its apex when it was Jackie and, and you, and Billy West doing the voices. And it was just a fight. You had stuttering John. And like, that was the apex of the show. Basically everything that led up to the private parts movie was the elite level Stern show shit. And I admired it. Like I idolized that. But then I look at the
Starting point is 00:29:47 dude that's on there now and I'm like, who the fuck are you? Cause there's one thing to like grow and evolve and kind of be like, Oh, I used to do some goofy shit. It's another thing to basically denounce everything you've ever done and denounce everybody who's ever liked anything you've ever done. Unless it's this little era of shit you've done that you think is also good and that you're proud of then they're allowed to like you and I saw Clay Travis of all people who I don't really give a shit about either say something that was interesting I saw a clip pop up that was like this Kamala is doing interviews like on the call Her Daddy podcast and on Howard Stern and on CNN and all these places. And he's like, do you really think you're having a chance to win over swing voters when you're going on these shows that like are all like there's cults of people who listen to these?
Starting point is 00:30:37 You know what I'm saying? Like there's not a swing voter listening to Stern. I would imagine that the bulk of Stern's audience is like Keith Olbermann level left wing living in your basement wackos that still listen to the shit and celebrities you should go on Rogan there you see there you go but they well she can't because she cannot answer questions like that's a fact like she's dreadful at answering questions to the point that you showed me a video yesterday where there's like a 10 year old girl doing a Kamala impression. That's perfect. Like, so like she can't do it and it is what it is, but like, this isn't really about the politics part
Starting point is 00:31:11 of it. It's more so the stern part. Like, you know, we've been watching this wrestling documentary and I will acknowledge the fifth episode of this has gotten a little bit more interesting. The first four, you could just go watch the Monday night wars documentary and you'd be fine. The fifth episode, which we're almost done with, is better. At least there's some different type of shit in it. Agreed. So it's been decent. And maybe the sixth episode will be fine too.
Starting point is 00:31:34 Fifth has been okay. But you look at the shit that people did in the 90s and I get why you don't do it anymore. But then you compare that to now and it's just like like how do you watch people like stern who and i get it was satire so i'm not like appalled by it but how do you watch stern and blackface in the early 90s and watch jimmy kimmel in blackface like dude white dudes loved doing blackface in comedy and shit in the 90s and now you look at that and you're like oh never happened because i agree with them politically like you know why i listen to joe rogan and i don't listen to everything he
Starting point is 00:32:09 does it has to be a good interview he interviews a lot of fucking people that i have no idea who they are care about who they are but like dennis quaid was on there the other day and i listened to that and um you know he's had some different like kevin james was on there about a month or two ago and i thought that was really interesting just I like Kevin James I don't listen to everything he does because he talks to some people that talk about shit that I have no clue about I listened to Matt Walsh because I went to see the Matt Walsh movie so I wanted to kind of get some context on some of the stuff and it was cool but like I listen to Joe Rogan and I don't feel like Joe Rogan is beholden to one group of people and I feel the same way about sports media is beholden to one group of people.
Starting point is 00:32:47 And I feel the same way about sports media too. Like when I hear you on the radio and you're a 100% homer and the only act you have is like this fan base is stupid, then I don't believe in you either. Like I'm not going to say the guy's name, but there's a radio guy at a sports station in America. It's not in one of the cities I've worked in. And I used to have a lot of respect for him. And I still do because he's successful, but not the same kind of
Starting point is 00:33:09 appreciation. So this guy just made a decision that he was going to be 100% local radio. Homer Honk has no negative opinions about any of the teams. His whole shtick is everything is great and every other city sucks and every other team sucks like I don't believe in that like I don't know if I ever can like I get like if I were on the air in Houston today I'm rooting for the Houston teams but I'm not here to like tell you that everything is perfect about them and like half of my material is Dallas sucks I don't do that shit if I'm in Philadelphia and this is part of the reason why some people didn't like me I'm not going to go on the air every goddamn day and tell you why Dallas sucks. It doesn't interest
Starting point is 00:33:48 me. It's boring. So I don't do that kind of shit. But like this guy made a commitment to doing this and I'm sure he's making a lot of money doing it. I can't do that. I have to feel like you have some, at least some smidge of credibility. It's the same way I feel when I watch a baseball broadcast, like I hear in St. Louis, the baseball Cardinals broadcast. I feel when I watch a baseball broadcast like I here in St. Louis the baseball Cardinals broadcast I feel like these people are complete homers and they're not objective so when we're in the car and I hear them you know debating whether or not a call is going to be overturned I'm like I don't know if I believe you because you're clearly in bed with the team and I just you have no credibility with me. I believe in credibility. I think Joe Rogan has more credibility
Starting point is 00:34:26 than anybody on CNN, anybody on Fox News, Howard Stern, and look, I don't think Howard Stern gives a shit if he has credibility because he comes out and tells you, this is what I believe, and if you don't believe me, I think you're an imbecile. So where's the credibility? He doesn't have any credibility.
Starting point is 00:34:42 I don't believe that the people on Fox News have credibility. I don't believe that the people on Fox News have credibility. I don't believe in these people because they're clearly biased towards one side. Joe Rogan, if you listen, and some argue that he flip-flops on a lot of shit depending on who he's sitting there with, but when I listen to Joe Rogan, I go, okay, I can see where this guy feels this way about one thing that seems like it's more left-leaning and feels this way about something that you might say is more right-leaning. So that's why I like that, right? Of course, the left-wing people think he's a fucking lunatic Trumper type, but fuck him. That's who I listen to. Do I listen to him and think everything he says is gospel? No, I'm aware that he's a fucking
Starting point is 00:35:19 stoner that sits around and in one minute will be having some conversation about biophysics or some shit with some scientist and then next he'll be sitting in there with some comedian talking about the the Kennedy assassination high off his ass and shit so like I can differentiate and separate the two things but like I just I never thought we'd be in a world where Stern is basically, he's Olbermann and Colbert. And it's like, dude, like what the fuck happened to you, bro? What happened to Colbert? What happened to Kimmel? Like they all, they're just all in bed with this agenda. And by the way, I don't care if that's what they believe. Like if you vote for whomever, vote for whomever you want. Like I'm not telling you to believe what I believe or whatever. What i'm telling you is you're fucking lunatics like you're broken you
Starting point is 00:36:09 are broken people so are the hardcore right-wing people i'm fully intact when it comes to this shit be like me by the way the padres won so they're up two to one my boy mike schilt is one went away from putting the dodgers out of their misery, thus ending the career, I would imagine, of Dave Roberts. I don't know if they threw any baseballs at him again today or not, but he's blessed that he didn't die. So big ups to Jesus for saving Dave Roberts' life when that mean baseball player threw a ball back to the dugout. Manny Machado would be that mean baseball player but at least he's alive and that's a blessing we should all consider ourselves blessed it's your tremendous blessing yeah so anyway all right uh maybe I'll do some other stuff uh
Starting point is 00:36:57 well tomorrow or later in the day depending on when you're listening to this but uh appreciate you
