The Josh Innes Show - Poor Jimmy Kimmel

Episode Date: November 7, 2024

Hi Friends! I've gotten myself wrapped up in retweeting political idiots on Twitter. My wife thinks I'm going to cost myself job opportunities if I continue to post my thoughts. If that's the case, this is a really sad world. Celebrity endorsements have proven to mean very little. That said, I was kind of intrigued by the number of people with a big audience who were willing to say they voted for Trump. Can America ever be semi normal again? Are we just destined for more of the insanity? Jimmy Kimmel is sad. Angel Reese, who I actually like, is saying dumb stuff on the internet. Learn more about your ad choices.

I'd like to know what you guys think, what you think show and less of a dude sitting in his bed in his underwear rambling about shit. That is my ambition at some point. But first, I'm trying to find a job. And then once I find a job and get settled, I'm going to rebuild my studio. And once I rebuild my studio, I'll get my cameras. And then we'll start really going hot and heavy in this shit like we used to on Twitch. Except it's not going to be on Twitch.

It's going to be on YouTube more than likely. But that's what I'm looking to do. So let your friends know if you got a buddy in the group chat, you got a buddy that you bowl with, you got a, do people still bowl? You got a buddy that you golf with, you got a buddy that you guys talk about bets with, whatever. Tell them, send them a message, show me that you sent them a message, and let's build this fucking thing. We're having a good time. We're shooting the shit. We're bros and lady bros.

We're having a good time. And anyway, what is men and women anyway? Well, now that Trump's back in office, I guess we will see a distinction between men and women, I think. But who the fuck knows? I don't know. Speaking of men and women, there's so much shit. And I find myself retweeting a bunch of these lunatics on on twitter and i probably shouldn't because jilly's like do you think it's gonna hurt your chances of

getting a job if you keep retweeting all these people and i'm like here's the thing jilly maybe but if that's the case that's really sad for one that you can't have your own thoughts and your own beliefs on shit without fear of it costing you a job like that's the the biggest issue that's out there is people are afraid to tell you what they think of shit in the name of getting canceled or in the name of not getting a job so as i've told you guys here like there have been podcasts i've recorded on here a lot of them were you know fueled, but there have been podcasts that I've recorded it like, you know, one in the morning with jelly after watching a football game that starts off as a football podcast. And then 45 minutes later, I've been breaking down the gross domestic product. I don't even know what the fuck that is, but I'm breaking it down and I'm angry about shit. And then I decide not to post it because I'm like, I don't,

I'm not looking to fucking alienate people. And deep down, like, I'm not some sort of political zealot. I'm not some sort of wacko when it comes to this shit. So why would I post that? And then I decide not to. You know, that's just kind of how I operate now. So, like, everybody lives in fear of being not necessarily canceled because to be canceled, you have to be in like a high position to be canceled. But I think a lot of people live in fear

of saying what they believe politically and fearing some sort of retribution or your boss tells you that you're in trouble, whatever. You know what I'm saying? I think people genuinely live with that. I do think that this last election cycle, people started feeling a little bit more free to feel a way about

Trump than they did before and by that I mean let me start here I don't believe that political endorsements from celebrities matter like I do believe there are some dumb people who are like oh shit Beyonce likes Kamala I guess I do too like I'm sure there are some people like that and I'm sure there are some people who weren't going to vote but decided to vote because, I don't know, Bruce Springsteen said, get out of there and vote. Yeah. Hey, people of Pennsylvania, you want Santa Claus bring you a new president? Like, maybe that's what happened. Okay?

I'm sure that some of that happens. But at the end of the day, I don't believe celebrity endorsements matter in the sense that people are not changing their opinions of who they're gonna vote for because Taylor Swift says to, other than her weird Swifty people. So I guess I do believe to an extent it matters. Like people who are really cultish about someone, the Beehive, the Swifties,

the liberals as it relates to Bruce Spring springsteen the white rich liberal men as it relates to bruce springsteen you know people like that may not be impacted in like in who they're going to vote for but maybe a little but as i sit here and i start thinking about celebrity endorsements i will say this when you start seeing seeing guys during this last election here a couple days ago, it seems as though there were but people who are not chachi. It seems like last go-round, you'd get James Woods, and you'd get chachi, and you'd get Roseanne, and it was kind of like, oh, these guys are kind of, I mean, they're names, but it's fucking chachi. It's Charles in charge.

Like, LOL, we got Beyonce, you got Charles in charge. What we saw this time around is that there were people with a really big reach that were open to saying, hey, I'm going to vote for Trump, notably. I mean, Elon Musk, obviously, but Joe Rogan, who's got a billion listeners to his podcast, the Bussin' with the Boys dudes, Dave Portnoy, and they all kind of fit into a similar category, podcast, blogger, new media type dudes, white dudes. I mean, there were people, but then you start looking and some of these are batshit crazy like Antonio Brown.

He's batshit crazy, right? So Antonio Brown, lunatic dude. Fine. Who's the other dude that was going around with Antonio Brown? Was it Le'Veon Bell? Like these are guys who were more willing, whether they were trolling or not, were willing to say hey I'm voting for Trump and I didn't vote you guys know I didn't vote but that made me happy in that they gave a little bit more comfortability or comfortability to people saying hey maybe I'm okay with voting for this person now Trump may be a lunatic and

it may be terrible and the world may end. I don't fucking know. But it made me feel more comfortable as a person seeing more people in a bigger light. I mean, look, Bussin' with the Boys is a pretty big podcast. Is it one the whole world knows? No. Joe Rogan's a podcast the whole world knows. Joe Rogan endorsed him.

Dana White endorsed him. So you start to see these bigger name people who have more at stake and more to lose potentially putting their neck out on the line and saying, Hey, I'm going to vote for Trump. And you're like, okay, at least it feels a little bit more balanced, right? You're obviously not going to get the late night talk shows and you're obviously not going to get the singers and you're not going to get the athletes more than likely. Like you'll get Bosa and guys like that. But for the most part, people who are going to speak up are 98% going to be the people on the left but I felt better seeing that there were people in a big platform who were willing to speak up and not just lunatics and not just has-beens and not just

nobodies like you saw people who have a lot at stake and have a huge following. You know, it's not just Kid Rock this time. It's Joe Rogan. Like that made me happy because it gave me some level of comfort. And this might sound ridiculous. You might mock me for this. But as someone who's in media and sports media, at least I was, or rock media, whatever, you do feel this kind of pressure to feel a certain way. And if you don't, you do wonder if you could

possibly lose your gig or if people are going to feel uncomfortable around you or whatever it is, you feel that way. And like, look, I'm not some right wing lunatic. I think you guys know that from listening to this. I consider myself someone that's in the middle. Some of my shit would be left. Some of my shit would be right. But like it is what it is. That's how I feel about things. That's how I view things. But the second you start offering any opinion that's even a notch towards the right you become a nazi people in the office are uncomfortable around you and it's a whole deal and I'm like this is bullshit so I like the idea that we're starting to see people with a big platform who are willing to say hey these left- people, we think they're fucking nuts and we're voting for Trump.

So that gave me some sort of comfort, if you want to call it that. But going back to the point about retweeting people and stuff, should I probably stop? Maybe. But like, Jilly was telling me this yesterday. She's like, I mean, do you think that's going to hurt you getting a job? Maybe you should stop. And I was just kind of like, why? Like, that's not right. I'm not saying anything offensive i'm not calling people name

i'm not doing all i'm doing is retweeting crazy people saying crazy shit all i'm doing is tweeting that that these the reason why the democrats lost they lost and they won't admit it they cannot admit that the reason they lost is because they ran a shitty campaign that was built on calling Trump Hitler and calling his followers fascists and Hitler. They didn't focus on the things that mattered to average people because a lot of them are not average people. They're rich celebrity types. They don't know what the real world is like. And that's what they ran on and they got burned for it and they deserved to lose. Oh, no, it's not.

The country's racist. People are racist. No, yeah, there are racist people and there are misogynist people. There are homophobic people on both sides. However, you ran such a bad campaign and you handled it so poorly that you allowed a reality TV star to win for the second fucking time. And if you believe the real deep ones, third time. But now the best part is all these people who spent all these years telling you

that Trump's a piece of shit for denying the election, even though they denied the election in 2016. Russia, Hillary. Now they're like, where did those 15 million voters go? We lost 15 million votes. Something's fishy here. Something's, all right. So when drum says that

the election was fucked it's okay but now you guys are too you're all fucked but you lost because you can't relate to average people and you never will the videos i'm seeing from liberal people right now shitting on people for saying that the groceries are expensive the number of videos i'm seeing and posts from people who are like, well, just be less poor, you fucking poors. Like, you don't get it. And you're never gonna get it. And when you do, you'll probably start winning. People are desperate for just some sort of normalcy.

I was talking to a buddy of mine the other day. He's like, I don't know that we're ever gonna get back to a world where we're not dealing with rock star celebrity presidents and cults and everything else like can we get back to something fucking normal can we get back to a point where you know who the president is but every day is not something about the fucking president can we get back to that can we just get back to a normal thing something can we get back to boring you know it's kind of like you ever see pure country

at the beginning of pure country you've got george straight up there his character's dusty is his name and he's this big country singer who's doing like garth brooks-y type shit there's lasers he's got a ponytail it's like swinging off of ropes and shit in concert oh my god it's dusty and then throughout the movie he starts to realize that he hates being this dusty character that's like Garth Brooks and wants to kind of just go back to the old school just like a man and his guitar that's kind of what we need to get to in this country as it relates to politics you know who the president is you may like him you may dislike him but it's not two groups of people who are in giant fucking cults that's what we need to get back to like like it's it's good because it's like he's there but you forget that he's there or she is there i don't care like these people are are

spinning everything they can to make it seem like well people didn't want to vote for a woman sure some people probably didn't but maybe they just didn't want to vote for that woman you know who else didn't want that woman to win hillary hillary's sitting back and she'll never say it but she's thrilled that kamala wasn't the first lady president. But I agree with my buddy. I just get back to a world where things just feel kind of calm, but maybe we can't. And I said this yesterday, maybe we've gotten to a point where the genie is out of the bottle and you can't put the genie back in. And that's very possible. Like, I don't know that you can create this world of giving people power on social media and giving people the free reign to say whatever the fuck they want about people. And the era of Trump for the last nine years.

Like, I don't know that you can ever go back to just things are just kind of normal. Like there's a currency in being lunatics on social media and television. All right.

Do you think Jimmy Fallon or Jimmy Kimmel want to go on their late night shows and be normal? No. Well, I think Fallon does. I deep down don't think Fallon gives two fucks. I think

Fallon got kind of bullied into being a part of their cult. I think Kimmel is legitimately buried deep in it with he and Stern and all these other guys that are part of this cult. You saw the video. I'm sure many of you have seen the hysterical semi-annual Jimmy Kimmel cries about politics on television last night. That was impressive. I guess it was last night. I mean, it's making the rounds today. I don't watch late night TV because this isn't 1994 and late night TV blows. So nobody actually watches it. They just see the videos after the fact. But it's funny to me when you get these people and they're crying about democracy. They get on TV.

Well, this was a bad day for democracy. Well, no, people voted and they voted for someone not just in the electoral college, but in the popular vote. That person won. It's done. This isn't a split decision. This isn't the 2003 LSU national title where the AP and the BCS were different. This wasn't the 2020 election or the 2016 election where one person won the popular vote, one won the electoral college. This person beat the shit out of your candidate.

And you still can't look in the mirror and figure out why. But then Kimmel cries about, this is the end of free speech, is it now? Says the gentleman making millions of dollars to stand on television and tell jokes and sit there and espouse his political views on a comedy show. Yes, free speech is dead. Tell that to Bill Maher who has a show where he says whatever the fuck he wants. Yes, free speech is dead. Tell that to The View. Tell that to Joy Behar that their freedom of speech is dead they are alarmist they are wackos not to say that there's a lot of trump people that aren't either and there's a lot of shit that's trump related that i don't fully understand that i can see

where they'd be concerned about you know how are they going to pull off all these deportations who are they going to deport like i get it if you're trying to just rid out the bad people but if there's just some family running a fucking taco stand or something, like a restaurant, a dry cleaner, they're working together in a family business, I don't know. Like, what happens to those people? And I'm saying that as someone who legitimately doesn't know. How are you going to execute that?

I don't want you to do that. Like, that's the part. Like, I look at these people, I'm like, I don't want to see people who are decent people. Like, should they have to be, you you know go through the process of becoming American sure like yes should you vet people before they come in yes the way the left is spinning it is it's going to be some sort of mass deportation where they're just taking people out of their homes and separating their families and I would hope that that's not the case I don't know that I'm not sure we none of us know what he's actually going to do but I don't know

but like I watched Jimmy Kimmel and I'm like dude like who watches this shit like bless your heart you used to be hysterical the man show was great um you know the shit you would do with Adam Carolla who somehow I think they're still friends although they couldn't be more different but like you used to do funny shit you used to just seem like a dude's dude and it was kind of cool and now you're this fucking weirdo. Like Stern, you and Stern just sit there and gargle each other's balls all day.

Like I'm not asking you to believe what I believe or what but like you people are fucking nuts. You're insane. Rosie O'Donnell, dude, some of these videos are spectacular rosie o'donnell is calling for the end of the electoral college look newsflash ma'am you lost the popular vote too and her argument was the electoral college benefits the racists oh i'm sorry that the states that have a differing viewpoint that you that only have two million people in them they shouldn't have a fucking voice like it's funny when they lose like when trump loses and trump does all the bullshit trump does

but then when they lose they come back and do the exact same shit trump does we deny the election we want to get rid of the electoral college we want to do so basically it's just every four years if someone else wins one group's going to tell you that the other group is racist and terrible and awful and misogynist. And that we need to get rid of all the foundations of everything we have here and start doing it a different way because we lost. I don't think we're ever getting back. I don't think there's going to be normal. Whatever normal is.

Like Forrest Gump's mom said, what does normal mean anyway? Well, I don't know what normal is at this point. Because I don't think we're ever getting back to anything close to normal. You could say that shit was abnormal 20 years ago, 15 years ago. Look, shit ain't getting back to any sort of normalcy. It ain't happening. I was talking to another person about Bill Clinton. I saw somebody post something about how the Democrats lost because they're too busy running 1990s campaigns. I was a Democrat. They're like, no, you didn't.

In the 1990s, Bill Clinton won twice. And someone said to me, you know, if they ran on what Bill Clinton believed in back in the 1990s, he'd be considered super conservative. I'm like, yep. And these people can't acknowledge that they're fucking lunatics and they've spent too much time catering to these lunatics. And that's what they're going to continue to do. Like, this isn't hard. The fact that these people continue on television telling you or The View or on the Internet, they're blaming Joe Biden. They're saying it's Biden's fault.

If Biden would have dropped out earlier, she would have had more time. He's irresponsible. You fucks were the ones raising billions of dollars for the guy to run, telling us that his brain was an oatmeal. Turns out his brain was fucking oatmeal. You did this. But no, it's the racists and the misogynists and the white women, of course, the uneducated white women are the reason why it's internal misogyny. They can't acknowledge that they did something wrong. And that's the reason why people hate them. They can't acknowledge that they fucked up.

And that's not a compliment to the right-wing people. The right-wing people just kind of sit back and they're like, let's see if these people will bury themselves. We're going to take the route of telling people, whether it's true or not, that we're going to make your groceries cheaper and your gas cheaper and everything else. We're going to tell them that because that's what they want to hear about this shit because most people are in Hollywood and political elites that are worth millions of dollars and no matter who wins the election it truly doesn't impact them one way or the other. Most people are getting by and Trump did a very good job of appealing to those people. Whether he's full of shit or not, we'll find out. But he appealed to those people

and he did a good job of it. Here's what the left-wing people ran on. Abortion and taxing billionaires more. Cool, you solved it. But as always, you always talk down to these other people and they will always view you as elites. That's why Bill Clinton was able to win. Bill Clinton was able to win because he's a fucking governor from Arkansas. He's kind of a human dude. Great speaker. Was able to relate to people. He might have been full of

shit, but he was able to do it. That's what politicking is. Being full of shit and convincing people to vote for you. But again, I don't know that any genie goes back in the bottle. Boy, but watching these people melt down is great. The videos of people that are in their cars screaming. We are in such an attention society. People just are so starved and desperate for reaction and attention. You might say, well, Josh, it says the guy who did all these radio stunts.

That was part of my job. To get ratings, you have to get some form of attention. But there were a lot of things in my own personal life that I don't throw on the internet to get a reaction or to get people to feel sorry for me or whatever. You know, if I do a stunt on the radio where some guy wants to kick my ass, fine. But I don't go to the Twitter and constantly post sad fucking videos about the state of the world or sad videos about what's going on at home or whatever i try to avoid that because at the end of the day you're just trying to milk your own problems in life to get likes on social media that's called doing scott in a shit and i don't want to do that i've never done that that's not

my thing so people would call me a hypocrite and they'd say well josh what about uh you know oh yes says mr fighting with set Seth Payne or whatever. Again, that's a radio thing. You have to get attention on the radio so people know you're there. When you're on a 5,000 watt AM station that no one's fucking listening to, you got to make fucking news or you don't make money. some dipshit TikTok person or Twitter person or Facebook person who sits in your car and puts on a fake scream about Trump winning and then you post it. You're just sad people. Speaking of sad people, somebody sent me a message yesterday that said Mike Missanelli was talking about the thing at football practice again. So I went back and I listened to it. And God, these guys

have the same tired fucking story they tell all the time. I've never lied about anything that happened on the radio in Philadelphia and I never will because I have no reason to lie. Because I'm not some meathead macho dude that wants to look tough to everybody. I'm not some fake Goomba Italian dweeb that wants to act like he's big shit. But I think the story continues to be that, like, I talk shit about him on the radio. Then we start conversing when I find out that it's him. And he's like, he said, oh, come on, bro. It's just radio, Josh said. And that I truly don't remember what our conversation was while we were standing there because it was awkward. The only thing I remember is at one point,

he starts telling me that you wouldn't, he says, you wouldn't say that shit to my face and i lean down i mean dude no one's afraid of this guy he's like a five and a half foot tall lesbian like he's made for msnbc and i leaned down and i literally told him your show fucking sucks that's what happened his story is that i never did anything and then i hid behind some gentleman that i i could he's this guy derrick boyko who i guess used to be the pr person for the the eagles i don't know who this person is i could not pick him out of a lineup I don't know this person but it's oh he went and hid behind Derek Boyko I'm like dude I don't even know who the fuck that is now is it

possible that some guy from the Eagles like ushered me away that's possible but in no way was there a situation I'm like oh god Derekko, let me stand behind you. I'm six foot three and 300 pounds, motherfucker. You think I'm afraid of some fucking waif-like lesbo? Come on, bro. Oh, he peed his pants. Do you guys go to the same meathead school of insults together and you and the cuz get together

and you're like, hey, watch this. We're gonna say he peed his pants. That'll be funny shit. Like, you guys are fucking dopes. But thanks for the press. Thanks for the run. I know it was a hard day for Miss Nelly yesterday because he's a super liberal mainline lesbian whose life will be impacted in no way by this Trump thing.

But he will be super sad as he sits in his lonely life. I don't know if he's got a wife or a lady or not. He just seems like a lonely, cunty human who does a boring radio show and has always done a boring radio show. But whatever. It is what it is. I don't know what to tell you.

But anyway, so I need to get to some sports stuff too. I got a bunch of stuff to get into, so here's what we're going to do. I am going to end this one for now. Is there anything else I want to get into in that regard oh you know there's another one um i saw angel reese tweeting about how like the world is ending and you know that i like angel reese i was on her side during the caitlin clark thing because i don't believe anybody would have been even remotely interested in women's basketball if not for the big bad mean black girl talking shit to the poor white girl

like that made it a story if that wouldn't have happened nobody would have given a fuck about caitlin clark or the wnba or women's college basketball they wouldn't give a shit and honestly they still fucking don't but in that moment it became a talking point because your right-wing wackos were able to be angry about a black chick you know. So Angel Reese, being the villain, made that more interesting. However, Caitlin Clark is clearly a superior basketball player, and Angel Reese is actually just kind of a shitty basketball player. But Angel Reese is on Twitter, and she's like,

I'm sad because my rights have been taken away. And then when people ask her what rights have been taken away, she has no fucking clue. And then she said something that was so dumb it was something about why couldn't you selfishly put aside your pride ma'am you went to college and look i get that half of your college time was spent at lsu and most of that time was spent doing commercials and shit so i'm not one to judge somebody's brain about college especially when i didn graduate. And I went to the same school you did for two years. But ma'am, you're stupid.

You got to sell. Oh, you couldn't selfishly put aside your pride. That's an oxymoron, ma'am. Who you calling a moron? But like, bless her heart, she is dumb. I mean, just stupid. And she's been indoctrinated by these people. She can't think for herself. And look, she's the same person that says, don't sexualize me, but goes out to a concert, basically wearing panties on stage. And she's

like, Hey, my coos is hanging out, but don't sexualize me. I'm a lady. Like these people are all full of shit and nobody calls them on the fact that they're full of shit. And if you do, you're a sexist, you're a bigot, you're a sexist you're a bigot you're a racist you're not empowering women it's all bullshit but yeah i find her annoying now and i didn't i look i will still defend her on the whole thing with caitlyn clark she made caitlyn clark you can disagree with me all you want she made caitlyn clark a bigger star because she was the big bad mean shit talking black girl and that got all the dave port noise and the the outkicks all worked up over it. And it got all the Trump or right-wing guys on the internet all worked up over it.

I forgot what exactly Portnoy said. He called her like a piece of shit or something like that. And it got everybody all worked up. And look, she talked shit. And she made Caitlin Clark. And that set up that next match up the year after that that's all real but two things can be true you could also just be fucking stupid but that's the beauty about being a celebrity in this era you can just be stupid and say whatever

the fuck you want and because your sycophant fans are gonna buy whatever you say it's like all right cool so anyway boy some of these people have really, I mean, they had already lost it. Now they're super losing it. It's fun to watch, actually, but it's also sad. Because I would like things to just be sort of normal, but they never will be. All right, I'll get to some other stuff here in a bit.
