Episode Date: July 2, 2025

Jason Bateman believes any Trump supporters are "insulated". It amazes me how these people love to claim one side is a part of a cult all while ignoring the fact they are in a cult.

So if you listen to this podcast at all, you know that I'm not a super political person, although I've had super political moments

depending on when they happened. Right. So 2020 was like the apex of my political being because we were all trapped in our houses and everybody had gone fucking nuts. 2020 was like the apex of my political being because we were all trapped in our houses and everybody had gone fucking nuts and really after that, there are people that were nuts then are probably still fucking nuts. Really the zaniness started sometime in 2015 and really hit an apex in 2016, somewhere around November of 2016.

And for about the last nine years, the fucking country has been bat shit crazy in one way or the other. But I'm not a super political person, but I do like to talk about people who I think are full of shit. Now, I've been accused by one of my good buddies that listens to this podcast and his friends of being like this super right-wing MAGA person. Understand that generally speaking, people who are super left wing people view anyone who doesn't think exactly like them as a super right wing MAGA person. So if you do not agree with every single thing they believe, you are horrible. You're a piece of shit. You are MAGA. You are an insurrectionist. You were probably at January 6th and there's

no doubt you've burned across, have a Confederate flag, and sit around and bitch that the Confederate flag is no longer on top of the General Lee. But really, I just like, my favorite target is woke left-wing people. That doesn't mean I love right-wing people. It doesn't mean that I think they're all right about shit. It just means that I like to make fun of the most extreme left-wing people a lot of the time the the leftists as it were not the liberals but the leftists right let me play a couple commercials and I'll let you know where this is going so I bring this up because of Jason Bateman now Jason Bateman of course star of one of

the great TV shows of all time, Arrested Development and The Hogan Family, which started as Valerie and Valerie's family? Underrated little theme song. It was part of that era where every intro for every TV show looked the exact same, like everybody in the family is doing some sort of activity and then they slow-mo turn to the camera and for whatever reason the font was always yellow go watch a TV show from the 80s and early 90s. Why was the font always yellow? It never deviated from that

like full house yellow font family matters yellow font perfect strangers yellow font. I believe the Hogan family yellow font. I meanogan Family, Yellow Font. I mean, just go down the list. It was nonstop Yellow Font during the intros, right? But the theme song from the Hogan Family was pretty solid. Life is such a sweet insanity. The more you know the less you hear in the heart of every family, Blue-dee-doo-dee, boo-doo-doo-doo-doo,

We get closer. I don't know all the fucking words to it, okay? It's not as good as Perfect Strangers as far as theme songs go. It's not as good as both versions of Give Me a Break, which, by the way, if you want to talk about great television show theme songs, both are solid. If you go to the original, Give Me a Break, you get the the kind of like, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom,

boom, boom, give me a break, I sure deserve it. That's a great one. But then you like get into the more like 80s, kind of like Hipper version, like the very 80s like almost facts of life sounding one which Give me a break now, I know what it takes. I'm putting a new face on the old one ready for anything anyway Hogan family not an all-time great TV show theme song, often forgotten by people as the show is, but Jason Bateman was the star of that show along with Sandy Duncan who replaced Valerie Harper who left. None of that really matters.

Also on Arrested Development, which for the first run of Arrested Development was a phenomenal show. Really the first two seasons of Arrested Development was rock star incredible, amazing television and real talk. I like Jason Bateman, right? Like everything I see him in I like him. He plays kind of the same guy. Horrible Bosses plays the same guy as he plays in insert other Jason Bateman movie insert Ozark. Like it's weird because I like I'm not going to stop watching the shit he makes because he has dumb opinions.

But I think he has a dumb opinion on something here. And that's something is that he was kind of going in on how the people who voted for President Trump or Donald Trump supporters are quote insulated from the facts and common sense, and intimates that they basically just watch Fox News all day. And that's kind of a like an easy, low hanging fruit, lazy take that people on the left have like that's where they think that they are elite and better than you is they don't believe that they're also in a cult and they don't believe that

they are insulated and they don't believe that they just pay attention to shit that tells them what they want to hear. They're basically describing themselves, but like they love to have this kind of elitist mindset while looking at you and saying that you don't think for yourself. Here's what I've learned about both sides. If you are an extreme right wing person, you're probably insulated and are in a cult and they're probably part of group think and if you're an extreme

left wing person, which I would put all of those Hollywood types in because even if they're not extremely leftist, they are people who at least have to portray themselves as such to keep themselves employed and to keep the people off their balls all the wackos on the internet off their balls. So they are cultist and they are in the left wing cult. Then there's people like me that kind of hang out like some days like honest to fucking God, like I wish I believed in something more, like you know, if you got to stand for something or you fall for anything, I wish I was more like that, but some fucking days I sit there

and I'm slightly right of the center depending on what the topic is. And some days I'm slightly left of center depending on what the topic is. That's called being a normal functioning human being who can actually think for themselves. Jason Bateman cannot think for himself and what Jason Bateman has done is he points the finger at all these Trump people and he doesn't need them. He doesn't need the Trump people to watch Ozark. He doesn't need the Trump people to watch horrible bosses 14. He doesn't give a shit. So he'll go out and say

that they are insulated and they are they're insulated from facts and common sense, right? So that is the intimation that the Trump people are part of a cult and that they will do anything he says. And by the way, there is some truth to that. But on the same vein, there are some truth to that about left-wing. What is the idea? Blue no matter who, right? So what if as long as someone says, hey, I'm a Democrat, then you're going to vote for them. So that's blue

no matter who, which means you're insulated from the facts and common sense, which means you're doing exactly what you say those other people are doing. You are a hypocrite. But my favorite part about this when you get these types of people like Jason Bateman star of Teen Wolf 2 and Necessary Roughness, which is an underrated sports movie. That's the one with Sinbad and Scott

Bakula. That's where like Scott Bakula is like the old quarterback at the throwaway school and Hector Elizondo is the coach and Robert Logez is assistant coach and oh what's her name? The Cathy Ireland is the kicker and then you got Jason Bateman. Again, I like Jason Bateman. I have never did. Was Jason Bateman in episodes of Silver like Jason Bateman I've never did was Jason Bateman and episodes of silver spoons. I don't remember but like I have nothing against Jason Bateman his sister if I recall is like a right wing type person of the kind of person he would think is a loon I don't even know that she's a Trumper but she

doesn't fall in line with every fucking thing they believe so I think he considers her a wacko she of course was Mallory on a wonderful show called Family Ties, one of the greatest sitcoms ever, one that does have an all time banger of a theme song, which goes, I bet we've been together for a million years. And I bet we'll be together for a million more. more well it's like I started breathing on the night we kissed and I can't remember what I ever did before what would we do baby without us what would we do baby without us barrel barrel and there ain't no

nothing we can't love each other through what would we do baby without us shalala all-time great theme song that is his sister Justine who is in that show. Of course her boyfriend in that show was named Nick. The kind of doofus Nick was the boyfriend and then there was Skippy next door that was in love with Mallory. Anyway, none of that matters. What matters here is that Mr. Jason Bateman is clearly like part of the left wing cult. Again, for you Demir and your friends, they're a right-wing cult people. They're a left-wing cult people. I'm in the cult of I think what

I think and fuck you. That's the cult I'm in. So if your buddies and everybody else think I'm some right-wing person, then I'm not going to change your mind. But you are part of the same cult. That cult that Jason Bateman is in is the cult that watched a dude that was the president deteriorate any road until he was a vegetable and none of your media brethren did anything about it and you did not care. You did not care that this guy was basically a tomato up on the stage. You did not care that it was clear that he

was cognitively not there. You did not care. As long as the dude that opposed him wasn't going to win, you were going to ride this out and you were going to ignore reality. To me, you are just as bad because when I read insulated from facts and common sense, well, sugar tits, let me tell you something. Common sense would tell you that that dude was an invalid, yet your boy George Clooney, who by the way, was on a wonderful television show called the facts of life which had an all time great theme song you take the good

you take the bad you take them both and there you have the facts alive the facts alive there's a time you got a growing show you're growing now you know about the facts of life the facts of life when the world never seems to be living up to your dreams and suddenly you find it out the facts of life are all about you you all about you it takes a lot to get on right when you're learning the facts of learning the facts of learning the facts of facts of facts up you're learning the facts of life George Clooney also had roles on another wonderful show called Roseanne and then he was on ER. But anyway, point

being in all of this is that George Clooney was given like getting you to raise all this money for this invalid to be the president and you all conveniently ignored that. Like to me that is being insulated from the facts and common sense. This isn't really all that difficult. I mean, of course you're gonna, you know, I mean you're going to disagree but like that's the same shit. So if you want to tell me that there's a bunch of people that are going to believe anything

Trump does, no matter what you are 100% correct. Are those people cultist type people 100% they are, but so are people like Jason Bateman. Jason Bateman just lazily throws out shit like, well, these people are on a fucking cult and they're insulated. Well, you must be as well because you guys were riding high with old old Biden until he finally bucked you and then after he was bucked we get all this this shit about how he was his his brain was mush and how he he was an invalid

basically we get all that now but back when you guys were essentially lying to people and all of you were out there like we believe in this guy He's sharp as a tack And then like you're full of shit, too. See the reason look I'm going to tell you why I'm better than you Because I can sit down and I love you and I say this half in jest But the reason why I feel like I'm better than people who are cultist on both sides is I can look at these two things And I can go, you're both full of shit. And I can be honest with myself and say some days I'm slightly left and some days I'm slightly

right. It just depends on the story. If it's a story about the transgender swimmer getting the metal stripped, you might actually hear that and go, wow, your take on this is kind of left wing on this one, you might hear that I haven't done that yet. I'm going to do that in a little bit. You might hear me talk about something else like you know, dude is quoting rap lyrics when he's 15 and whatever now he's the worst person ever my view on that will be kind of viewed as

right. Like, that's how I am you could say it's cop out like people would argue that they'd say, well, that's cop out like you got to stand for something. I don't I stand for in that moment what I'm feeling in that moment and I don't put labels on myself. I'm not going to label myself part of your cult or part of your cult. If you want to say I'm in a cult I'm in the cult of this middle area here, which is about 98% of the universe people to just want to be left the fuck alone.

That's the group I'm in. But when I hear Jason Bateman, star of Teen Wolf 2, sequel to one of the greatest films of all time, Teen Wolf starring Michael Jack, Michael Jackson. Yes, he was in that was thriller. He was sort of in Teen Wolf. Thriller kind of had Teen Wolf vibes. But Michael J. Fox in one of my favorite movies of all time, Teen Wolf, when you're shooting for the moon and finally make it, goes into the dance all like wolfed out and everybody's doing this wolf dance. Fuck, that's elite shit there. But anyway, Jason Bateman's full of shit.

Everyone's full of shit. We'll continue.
