Starting point is 00:00:00 And we thank them for sponsoring the show. Well, no, I'll just go ahead. I mean, look, I'm money dumb. Y'all know that. I've been money dumb ever, since ever, my whole life. And the modern world makes it even harder to not be money dumb, in my opinion. Because used to, you, like, had to write down everything you spent or you wouldn't know nothing. But now you got apps and stuff on your phone.
Starting point is 00:00:19 It's just like you can just, it makes it easier to lose count of, well, your count, the count every month, how much you're spending. A lot of people don't even know how much they spend on a per month basis. I'm not going to lie. I can be one of those people. Like, let me ask you right now. Skewers out, whatnot, sorry, well-read people. People across the ske universe, I should say. Do you even know how many subscriptions that you actively pay for every month or every year?
Starting point is 00:00:41 Do you even know? Do you know how much you spend on takeout or delivery? Getting a paid chauffeur for your chicken low main? Because that's a thing that we do in this society. Do you know how much you spend on that? It's probably more than you think. But now there's an app designed to help you manage your money better. and it's called Rocket Money.
Starting point is 00:01:00 Rocket Money is a personal finance app that helps find and cancel your unwanted subscriptions, monitors your spending, and helps lower your bills so you can grow your savings. Rocket Money shows all your expenses in one place, including subscriptions you already forgot about. If you see a subscription, you don't want anymore, Rocket Money will help you cancel it.

In a way that's easier for you to digest, you can even automatically create, custom budgets based on your past spending. Rocket Money's 5 million members have saved a total of $500 million in canceled subscription with members saving up to $740 a year when they use all of the apps. Premium features.
Starting point is 00:01:44 I used Rocket Money and realized that I had apparently been paying for two different language learning services that I just wasn't using. So I was probably like, I should know Spanish. I'll learn Spanish. and I've just been paying to learn Spanish without practicing any Spanish for, you know, pertinent two years now or something like that. Also, a fun one, I'd said it before,
Starting point is 00:02:06 but I got an app, lovely little app where you could, you know, put your friends' faces onto funny reaction gifts and stuff like that. So obviously I got it so I could put Corey's face on those two, those two like twins from the Tim Burton Alice in Wonderland movies. You know, those weren't a little like the Q-ball-looking twin fellas. Yeah, so that was money.
Starting point is 00:02:28 What was that in response to? What was that a reply gift for? Just when I did something stupid. Something fat, I think, and stupid. Something both fat and stupid. But anyway, that was money well spent at first, but then I quit using it and was still paying for it and forgotten. If it wasn't for Rocket Money, I never would have even figured it out.
Starting point is 00:02:43 So shout out to them. They help. If you're money dumb like me, Rocket Money can help.

Starting point is 00:03:09 They're the. Yes. Hello there everybody. Thank you for joining us. Hope you're having a good day. I hope you're feeling yule out there. I hope your halls are decked and your apparel is gayed and all that because it's only three days till Christmas. Tuesday, December 22nd. I'm Trey Crowder. That's Mark Aegee. What's up, Mark? You ready for the big holiday?
Starting point is 00:03:47 Yeah, man, I guess as ready as I need to be this year because all our gifts are in the mail. Which mail isn't working right now. I've been trying to look on the bright side of COVID Christmas, like all this stuff that sucks that we get to skip, like, you know, long lines and stores. And personally, I'm very excited to not
Starting point is 00:04:05 have to go to any White Elephant gift exchange this year. Those are the goddamn worse. Yeah, I used to always try to do like a joke gift, you know, for those because like there's always a limit. And it's like you're not going to get somebody, especially like, it's not going to be something that actually hits for people, probably. So I used to like we, when I still lived in Tennessee, me and all the guys I grew up with in our families to do a friends giving type thing between Thanksgiving and Christmas and we do like a white elephant deal. And for a while there, my gift was always a framed picture of Joe Diffy that was autographed.
Starting point is 00:04:39 but it wasn't actually autographed. I just wrote it on there and pretended it was from Joe Diffy, so it would just be shit like, tell your mama, I said, hey, Joe Diffy or whatever, just shit like that, you know, which I always, like, felt pretty good about, but, you know, that it costs me $250 or whatever the cheapest frame at the CVS was, and I feel like that's how to do it. But you get the wrong person getting a gift like that,
Starting point is 00:05:02 and it just, it don't land for them, you know? I don't know. They want people to take it more seriously or something, even though it is inherently, A silly procedure. What's even worse is when somebody gets something actually really good, and then you see it, and it's your turn, you can just fucking gank it from them, which is totally the spirit of Christmas.
Starting point is 00:05:19 Right. Yep, yep. Well, here we are. Let's do the thing with us, as always behind the scenes. Producer Matt, this is evening skews. Got a good show for you tonight. There may be a stimulus package on the way. Who knows?
Starting point is 00:05:33 Hopefully, looks like it. It got through Congress. We'll see what happens. But there's some fucky stuff going on there. Believe it or not, we'll talk about that. Also, an update on vaccine stuff. And a little bit later, senior Georgia correspondent, Corey Ryan Forrester rejoins the program to give us a propaganda report.
Starting point is 00:05:54 Y'all ain't even going to believe the wild shit they're saying in Georgia right now. I mean, you'll probably believe it. But still, it's wild and it's going to be a good time. So that's going to be fun looking forward to that. But first, as always, we begin with the day of the day. dumbass, Matt. Tonight's D.D. is, I believe, for the first time, which I think is a little shocking, but still it's true, the Vice Dumbass in chief himself, Mike Pence, who had this to say
Starting point is 00:06:32 on the subject of Democratic policies. Matt, roll that clip. Cut taxes, rolled back regulation and advanced freedom. Their agenda is higher taxes. open borders, socialized medicine, the Green New Deal, and abortion on demand. To make rich people poorer and poor people more comfortable. Okay. Now, some of y'all might be thinking, well, what's dumb about that? All I heard was a concise summary of leftist values in this country, but I think there was a couple things that were a little bit off. First of all, we're not looking to make rich people poorer. We're looking to kill and eat them using their own guns.
Starting point is 00:07:20 We will have just stolen from them. Secondly, we're not trying to make poor people more comfortable. We're trying to endow them with absolute power, especially the Mexican ones. So it was pretty close, but there are just a couple things there that made it veer into dumbass territory for me. But overall, not a bad summary from Mr. Pence. Mark, what do you think about it? I think it's amazing. Mike Pence thinks more highly the Democratic Party than I do.
Starting point is 00:07:42 Right, right. Basically described a version of them that's super cool and awesome. Right. Yes. And that will be a recurring theme tonight, by the way, when Corey gets there later with some of the propaganda of pieces in Georgia have that same thing going on. But yes, it's weird. They seem to have this like this tendency to vilify the left by really from most people on the less perspective, giving us more credit than we deserve, you know, while acting like it's the worst possible thing, you know,
Starting point is 00:08:12 like also I like how they talk about abortion on demand. Like we've got unlocked this new abortion technology like abortion TiVo. We've figured out over here. Like never have to worry about missing. an abortion anymore because now we got it on demand for you. Four to four or five dentists to prove with this abortion. It is a, I don't know, man. I don't know where like, basically, but also by the way, making rich people poor people more comfortable is also the log line for the New Testament. I'm pretty sure.
Starting point is 00:08:41 Which Mike Pence is supposed to love. Right. No, yeah. Yes, that too. And I mean, this has been beaten to death. I'm aware it has. but like such a huge number of people that are hardcore Trump people are, you know, poor by pretty much any definition. Only a very tiny fraction of them are rich.
Starting point is 00:09:03 And it's just a reminder of how absurd this idea is of like, why do they even care about that in the first place? But I mean, I know it's like, well, they all think they're going to be rich someday. But I don't know. I don't think. I think there's a fair number of them that don't. don't even think that. Don't even think they're going to be rich someday, but still go to bat for the plutocrats or whatever and say fuck every other poor person for some reason. I think it's like the more that people can't conceive of how rich rich people are. It's like when they hear people talk about raising taxes on the rich, they picture their neighbor who has like a pool and two trucks.
Starting point is 00:09:44 Yeah, right. Yeah. No, you're right. This is doing great relative to the rest of the world, but like, I've ever seen, I hear the survey that had people chart wealth inequality. They had them chart what they think it is and what they think it should be. And by large, Americans hugely agree there should be wealth distribution because what it should be would be less ramped up than what it is. But in reality, it would be like, what we think it is like this. What it is like this. But in reality, it's more like this. And then it shoots so far off the map.
Starting point is 00:10:14 You can't even draw it to scale, right? it's like you can't even put it on a chart because either the either either what the most with the money most of us has is looks like the bottom of the graph or it just goes off the top of the chart through the room like Jeff Bezos has two thousand million dollars right? Right. A million dollars to us is rich right a million dollars like a three million you got a rocking house even Los Angeles. It's also like the just even the semantics of it like I don't know it's so wild. to me that anyone other than literal billionaires responds negatively to the sentence, they want to make poor people more comfortable.
Starting point is 00:10:58 You know what I mean? Like, comfortable. Like, he don't even say that, you know, we're trying to take everything you got and give it to the poor people over here. Just literally the idea of poor people being comfortable is upsetting to so many people in this country. and that's just, it's not wild to me anymore because obviously I'm used to it, but I mean, God damn, man. Also, it doesn't even have comfort.
Starting point is 00:11:25 It doesn't mean you're not killing them. It's making people more comfortable. It's also you do in hospice care. Yeah. Yeah. So you can't even really, it's so cruel, you can't even really wrap your head around what they even want. Like how much poor people get? Like 20 million people are going to be evicted this month.
Starting point is 00:11:43 They don't necessarily anywhere to go. So I don't, yeah. What is it, is it because poor people are lazy? Is that why they want them to be so uncomfortable? Or because in their mind, poor equals brown? Or is it both? Like, why do they so overtly desire that they be uncomfortable to the highest degree? Being poor in America is a moral failing.
Starting point is 00:12:07 Right. Not just the Republican view, but half the Democratic Party, too. It's like if you wanted to have a. decent life you should have learned to code or you should have you should decide to get a job which is weird stance to have in 2020 when there are no fucking jobs so I don't know all right well that's our daily dumbass we got some honorable mentions mark won't you set up this first one all right so a little bit this daily dumbass functions is kind of a coup update because trump had a big powwow with a sydney powell and mike flynn who were screaming at him to institute
Starting point is 00:12:41 martial law and steal some voting machines and some um solid brain geniuses who were very stable like Rudy Giuliani. We're trying to talk them out of it because it'd be a bad move. Anyway, luckily, that spills it up real quick because here's how it's going for Sidney Powell and Mike Flynn. You roll that clip, Mike, by that. Is General Flynn's attorney Sidney Powell, who suggests that after a meeting on Friday night, she's been banned from the White House in a statement of Fox News saying, I've been blocked by White House counsel and others from seeing or speaking to the president
Starting point is 00:13:11 since I raised the public formal findings and even more evidence in foreign interference from Iran and China. I'm told that she still has the ability to call the president. She's not on any kind of do not admit list at the White House, but I do know that there are many people in senior positions at the White House who would prefer that Ms. Powell and others stay away. On his last, but we do know that General Flynn suggested that he did so publicly And talk about an idiotic idea. There's no ability for any president to invoke the Insurrection Act of 1803, claiming that the issue has got to do with the hubbub around the election.
Starting point is 00:13:54 I mean, no president would have the authority to do that. So General Flynn may have served honorably in the military, but he is sure as heck not a constitutional law scholar. And when it comes to giving good advice to the president about politics, he's at the bottom of the list, in my opinion. yeah the city pal got ghosted by a building and Mike Flynn's being called a dumbass by uh uh Carl Roe
Starting point is 00:14:16 man yeah Carl Roe's out here slinging heat dude just hitting them all with it I mean you know not a big Carl Roe fan but uh yeah I appreciate a good barb wherever it's at like he ain't holding nothing back he's literally calling him idiotic like he stopped just sort of called him
Starting point is 00:14:31 fucking dumbasses basically I mean if it was those idiots it's called Roeve I'd have spent eight years hanging out with one to call him of turd blossom all day every day. So remember that? Turdblossom? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:46 I mean, I can say it. You know, I get it. It's not a bad, not a bad moniker, I don't think, for him. Solid nickname. So what you think? Sidney Powell, do you, I mean, like, because they said she's not on any list or anything like that. Is this in her head?
Starting point is 00:15:03 Like, they seem to be really good at, like, you know, building a reality. in their own head. It's a thing with them. They're really good at that. Like, is that what's happening here? Or has she really been just ghosted by this administration? Like, how do you do so poorly to get ghosted by this administration in this point in time specifically?
Starting point is 00:15:26 I mean, that's a real knock. I mean, they feel like the real tensions about Georgia. They just don't want to be looking too stupid. Also, Sidney Powell and Wood are running around Georgia telling people not to vote for Republican candidates had a revenge for Trump. So they probably just don't want Trump elevating her just to sue his own ego. But it's too late, man. The crackin
Starting point is 00:15:45 has been unleashed. It's not going to be put back in the in the toothpaste tube. But it's like, it's weird who's left, man, because like, here's an actual quote from a, this is in the Washington Post, not an opinion piece. It's a straight news piece. Trump's unofficial election advisory council now includes
Starting point is 00:16:01 a pardoned felon adherence of the Q&on conspiracy theory, a White House trade advisor and a Russian agent's former letter. Now, the last one is a reference to that the Russian agent's poor lover is a reference to Patrick Byrne, who's the guy who founded Overstock.com, whose dad founded Geico, I believe. Put up that screen grab out about the Russian affair, man, if you can, because this is where this is where this, yeah. So what happened with this guy was, he was having sex with Maria Boutina, that one, the spy who honey trapped the NRA. And when she got kicked out of the country, this otherwise normal dude got radicalized in the hating the deep state because they were mean to his girlfriend. Which that's an age old story. Boy falls in love a girl.
Starting point is 00:16:47 Girl dumps boy. Boy turns into anti-deep state conspiracy tears. He comes around telling people that the FBI forced him to have sex with her as their undercover agent. I don't know, man. These, you talk about people built on reality. He's got a while one going on. Yeah. Right. Right.
Starting point is 00:17:09 But yeah, but like you said, his election advisory council featuring the, the felon, the Q&N conspiracist, the Russian agent's former lover and all that. And Sidney Powell has been ousted from that, you know, team or whatever. Like, you ain't got the, you ain't got the goods to make it.
Starting point is 00:17:32 in that particular squad is just indictment in my opinion. I mean, getting kicked off that legal team was like the kid that got benched for Air Bud. Air Bud. Like, yeah, I'm not a plug, man. Come on. All right.
Starting point is 00:17:50 So one more quick honorable mention. The vaccine's out. COVID vaccines out. And a lot of people on the ride are not convinced. They got their own ideas. They got their own alternatives. Matt, you throw up that screen grab. we've got here. This is smart stuff. This guy says, what if instead of a vaccine we were just
Starting point is 00:18:07 able to get exposed to a weak version of the virus that enabled us to build the antibodies we need to fight the real thing? Now, Mark, I have to ask because of how over the top crazy this is. Are we like, are me and you eating the onion here? Like this is one of those that's like hard for me to believe even they could reach this level of stupidity, right? Like is this. While we're incredulous, what he described is what a fucking vaccine. Right. Yes, right. He's literally, yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:38 Justice T. Jack is extremely that dumb. He got caught using his own face on Bumble, cheating on his wife under his real name. He got kicked out of the Navy. He was even in naval intelligence until he became a conspiracy theorist for Trump. He's that dumb. He's that dumb. I believe you. But yeah, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:18:56 They should look into that. Yeah. The experts, the vaccine experts, scientists and doctors. I don't know why they didn't think of that. All right. So probably the news of the day, the stimulus bill. I think everybody's relieved to hear that, hey, it might be on the way, but maybe not because Trump is threatened to veto it. Update us all, Mark, on the latest with this. So Congress passed a stimulus bill. The actual COVID relief is a very small part of it. They tucked it into a bigger, like, normal spending bill. What we're getting, unless,
Starting point is 00:19:30 unless you're a lot of your big your unless a my listeners is a big time law firm what we're getting is 600 bucks per person unless you make more than 75 000 as an individual or 150,000 as a couple but that's not the people complain by that rightfully it's not enough because a lot of people are carrying like five thousand dollars in back rent and 600 just isn't going to do anything with that might as well get an x-box with it um but 300 a week in employment is going to help a lot of people so i don't want to downgrade that although that should have also been more but also what's in it. Okay, so whether or not Pelosi got rolled,
Starting point is 00:20:06 you've got to like, I don't really have a good understanding on how Congress works enough to say that because it doesn't appear to work. But by beefs with Bill, it's really funny because Trump put up this video earlier today if you have that clip, Matt, hit Trump's veto threat. I'm laughing because we got a message from production.
Starting point is 00:20:30 I say, shit. So I assume it's not. there. He's, yeah, he could, uh, well, don't worry, but don't worry about it, Matt. I just crap. So, so Trump goes through a longer list of what's wrong with the bill. He lists mostly foreign aid stuff, like money going to Pakistan and money going to like Bolivia and shit like that, which, uh, I don't really understand the details of it enough, but he also demands $2,000 seamless checks or he's going to veto it. Now, I don't believe he actually believes he's going to veto it because I'm not sure what that does in Georgia, but it also positions
Starting point is 00:20:57 the Republican Party of the left of Pelosi, I think, but, but. Right. Uh, because she's running around. Like there is a way to frame the bill saying this, this sucks, but I'm voting for it. We can do better in another bill's name. That's not what Pelosi's doing. Pelosi's saying the bill's great.
Starting point is 00:21:16 And now the president's doing the bill sucks. We might have to pass a line. So good luck to Osloff and Warnock, I guess, trying to figure out how to add a frame what this bill is or where they should be on it. Right. But there's like, there's a whole lot of other shit in this bill.
Starting point is 00:21:31 But like, as I understood, I mean, that's really, that's very much par for the course with Congress, right? They call it pork, I think. Port barrel politics. They have, are just the fat that goes on to bills that get past. People slide in their own little pet things into a bill that's going to get past just so it happens. But with a subject that's important, you'd like to see it be a little more slim down, but that's not the case. There's shit in the bill like $33 million to attempt to overthrow the Venezuelan government.
Starting point is 00:22:00 I like these stats here. The word missile, you know, missile, appears 19 times in the COVID relief bill. Aircraft appears 208 times. Munition 46 times. Weapon 46 times. Health care 24, doctor or nurse five. Masks zero.
Starting point is 00:22:28 So clearly we've still got our priority. in order with the leadership right now. Yeah. And I don't think Trump should veto it. I mean, I don't, I'm not talking about politics here. Just like to try to keep people from starving it out. I don't think it should veto the bill. But there's also like lots of random fun stuff in this.
Starting point is 00:22:46 I don't know if you have this screen grass. Yes, yes. So here's other stuff that's in this bill. Turn it up there, Matt. This is great. They repealed laws regulating the transportation of water hyacents. I'll just read this out. loud, man, you don't throw it up.
Starting point is 00:23:01 It repeals laws relating to 4-H club emblems being in-laws he'd fraudulent use, meaning you can now go ahead and make all your bootleg, the bootleg 4-H merch you want. You can now use the Swiss Confederation Club Arms if you want, put it on what t-shirts, whatever you want. You can also, the Smoky Bear and Woodsy Owl intellectual properties, now I'm in a public domain thanks to this bill. So now you can make, you can make all your, you can make that Smokey the Bear YouTube series you've been wanting to make.
Starting point is 00:23:32 Right. All very important COVID stuff. It's just fucking... Yeah, and I know that I know that this section was highlighted to illustrate how absurd it is, but like, I get the
Starting point is 00:23:44 like military spending and, you know, money for coos and that type of thing. That completely makes sense to me, given the America that we live in. But like, who, like, what is this shit about? Like, using the 4-H club emblem fraudulently or
Starting point is 00:24:00 the Swiss coat of arms like whose pet project is are these things like it's I mean I guess whatever there's it's a congressman who has a particular lobbyist who cares about this and gave them enough money to show this type
Starting point is 00:24:14 of thing in there and that's all that's the only explanation you need but it just really highlights the fucking absurdity of the whole process I think for sure and my only my only guess with these these rules like Kelly Loughler has a warehouse full of 4-H t-shirt she wants to unload
Starting point is 00:24:30 and just made it happen. So, but AOC was trying to point out the problem with this, and she tweeted out a complaint, like they, so they wrote this, they, the committee reached the broad point of the deal. They won't have to write the bill. Nobody got to see it. It's a 5,000 page bill. They are, the Congressmen, people got two hours to, um, to read, which means it didn't get
Starting point is 00:24:52 read. Right. I mean, literally like you, it's impossible that it got, you'd have to break up your entire staff and have each of them read 200 pages or whatever in that amount of time for it to even get read which is also absurd um yeah it doesn't it doesn't make any i mean it's not a good way for a government to function although but because this came together in just a hand-fisted way um there wasn't a lot of good stuff that got snuck into it that wouldn't have passed if anybody got time to read it For example, by some measures, New York Magazine called this.
Starting point is 00:25:28 The coronavirus bill is the, quote, the most significant climate change legislation ever. Right. Among the things tucked in here, $35 billion investment in zero emission energy technology, like solar wind, nuclear carbon capture, an extension of tax credits for wind and solar, which were set to expire, and most significantly, a plan for phasing out hydrofluor carbons, a small but extremely potent greenhouse gas used as a cooling. And this is because this was actually lobbied for by air conditioner companies because they're tired of patchwork regulations. They don't care what the standard is.
Starting point is 00:25:57 They just want to know what it is going forward. So we're getting better air conditioners because of this bill. Yeah, which is great. But I saw it's like, so this is one of the most significant climate legislation bills ever. But, you know, we in this country, we haven't done a whole lot of that. Just everybody knows. It's not like it's like, yeah, it's not like it's like sweeping revolutionary. climate change regulations or legislation that's going in there.
Starting point is 00:26:25 It's just like you said, it's by default because we just really don't be doing that as a rule in this country. But I mean, still fucking take whatever you can get, you know. I mean, it's better than nothing. Yeah, it's like being the best shot blocker in your six foot and under basketball league. You know, it's like, that's the bar we cleared, but it's still better than nothing. But it's like, I've been this theory for a while, like, well, we have too much big corrupt. We don't have enough small corruption. Like it's really hard.
Starting point is 00:26:55 Please explain. It's really hard to buy. I think we're talking about poor. They're going to bring back in Portville spending and like earmarks in next congressional term. And I think that's news because you can buy stuff into bills. But like you're not going to get Republicans to come around on green New Deal type stuff unless you give them stuff they want. That's like a parallel stuff that you give us five billion for wind. and we'll give you
Starting point is 00:27:20 you, you know, 30 million in your district to build a bridge. You know, so where you get legislation passed and we haven't been doing that. So you end up with like all giant tax cuts for the rich, which they can get through, they can get through Congress with no actual
Starting point is 00:27:34 progressive, you know, policy in it to buy, to do it required to buy progressive vote. So, yeah. So you think there should be more of that type of thing just because otherwise nothing will ever get done in the current political climate? Like, is that accurate?
Starting point is 00:27:48 Like, you have to do that to make anything happen is your stance? Without ways to buy off people to compromise, all this left is ideology. And America's like crippled by ideology right now. It's like you can't mean it. I said that with basically everybody, right left and center.
Starting point is 00:28:04 There's just no reason to make any sort of compromises because you just look like a, like a rhino or a coward without getting any actual policy in exchange for it. So they just ended up having no compromise and no bill. I mean like the past couple Congresses, have been like the least active ever. And at a time, we need a ton of stuff changing and happening
Starting point is 00:28:25 because of the general state of the world, you know. Right. But the least active because they're both, they're so obstructionist, like, it's so polarized that they can't work together is the problem, right? Which is like, that's a huge fucking problem. But that's what leads to them. All right, but anyway, all right, let's talk.
Starting point is 00:28:46 Before we get Corey on here, latest on the vaccine. President-elect Joe Biden received the vaccine the first, the first round of the COVID vaccine, live on television here. I mean, I feel like most people probably agree that the president should be on the list. But, you know, there's been a lot of, not controversy, but chatter about lawmakers in general being so high up on the list of priorities. You know what I mean? Like I saw somebody, I saw a tweet earlier. It was like every frontline healthcare professional and national.
Starting point is 00:29:18 this country should receive the vaccine before Lindsay fucking Graham does or whatever. And again, it's not the same thing. I mean, it's the fucking president. So that's different. But how do you feel about that, about their priority ranking? I mean, there's 545 people at Congress or whatever. It's not a lot of doses. The optics are just infuriating because Lindsey Graham, just to recall a few things here, was running around mask list at super spreader events, refusing to wear a mask. Right. The Senate,
Starting point is 00:29:51 you get Amy and Cody Barrett's hearings just after refusing to be tested before debate with Jamie Harrison. These people have been incredibly responsible. And I've gotten, just by virtue of turning masks into a cultural word, they have gotten untold thousands of people killed. And I think they suck. I also understand why the government can't,
Starting point is 00:30:16 picking shoes, which senators and Congress people get the vaccine. And it's probably good on balance if there are any for Lindsey Graham to be urging his constituents to get. That last thing you said is how I'm like rationalizing it in my mind with, you know, or whatever, top level congressman and whatnot is I feel like you said overall at the end of the day, not a huge number of people. And furthermore, somebody like Lindsey Graham or whatever publicly getting it and admitting to getting it may convince more people who otherwise would refuse to get it to receive it themselves. I feel like that's possible.
Starting point is 00:30:55 And if that works at all, then it's worth it letting them have it, you know? If I was the, uh, whoever is the Senate medical office, I would be tempted to swap it out with a placebo or heroin or some shit. I mean, they, you know, enable Purdue pharma. Let's see if we've got a little payback. Yeah. But because, you know, here's the thing. this type of stuff matters.
Starting point is 00:31:18 Messaging. Propaganda. It matters. So with that in, yeah. Oh, yeah, sorry. You're geared up for your. Oh, you're doing a thing. Okay, well, with that in mind,
Starting point is 00:31:32 we got a propaganda report for you. What's the latest and what's going on in Georgia? Well, let's let senior Georgia correspondent Corey Ryan Forrester explain it to you in this lovely video that he himself posted to Twitter. and then we're going to have the man here himself mac you play the play cori's video we're gonna it's gonna happen it's gonna happen guys if i could tell it's gonna happen we're gonna have cori's video playing on here in just a moment i believe it to be true um apparently we're having god damn day every god damn day i go to my mailbox and i have some mother fucking propaganda and i come
Starting point is 00:32:19 on here and i scream about it i usually start the video by going quit putting this shit my goddamn mailbox and I mean that but y'all they have just taken the cake with this one the Democrats are coming for your hamburgers they do they're beyond parody at this point ain't not what listen yes of course vegans and there's vegans and vegetarians on the democratic side there's vegans and vegetarians for the record on a republican side too that's not maybe there's more what the fuck ever I'm just saying you ain't never first off you ain't ever fuck are talking about taking your goddamn guns y'all made that shit up but damn sure ain't nobody once ever said they were coming and taking your god damn cheeseburgers this is just some fearmonger and
Starting point is 00:33:07 bullshit congratulations guys you become complete parodies of yourself you could use bullshit with the taking your guns when you know good well there's plenty of goddamn liberals here in the south that still have a fucking shotgun and you know that ain't gonna fly but this shit you're just you're just making it up. No one. Dude. Cheeseburgers, y'all are so fucking full of shit, man. And the problem is, y'all know that you're full of shit. It's just that you know that your dumb fucking constituents will buy, oh my God, socialism's going to take all of my cheeseburgers. A more accurate representation of what y'all normally think would be that if socialists get in there, then everybody's
Starting point is 00:33:48 going to be able to have the same cheeseburger, no matter how much they work. or how much if you at least said that i'd be like all right this kind of goes with like the thing but that ain't it you're just fucking full of shit man admit that you're full of shit i'm about to go in here and make about five goddamn cheeseburgers as a fucking liberal because i can and because we love cheeseburgers you're so full of shit man quit putting this goddamn propaganda bullshit in my mailbox i hope that you fall dick first on a piss at him you son of a bitch The man himself, Georgia correspondent, Corey Ryan Forster. I always want to call you Georgia Correspondent because the two words are similar.
Starting point is 00:34:33 They're right there back to back. I got to take you to task on one thing, Corey. You said none of us ever tried to come for their cheeseburgers. But didn't Michelle Obama kind of try to come for their cheeseburgers? She tried to come in there and say, hey, feed your kids good stuff so they won't be fat. She just wanted kids to be less fat. But, you know, that kind of got spun into her coming for the cheeseburgers, right? There's precedent, I thought.
Starting point is 00:34:57 Are you suggesting that I made a video and popped off on Twitter without having all the facts? I don't buy it. I don't buy it. I don't buy it. Yeah, that's some bullshit. And look, I'll say it. Fuck Michelle Obama for that. All her broccoli dreams that she had.
Starting point is 00:35:15 That's fine. I'll say it. You know what I mean? Like, we got to be honest. Yeah. Also, I'm very sorry that my lip, I just realize my lips are very orange on account of I'm drinking an orange drink. So I don't have some sort of weird lupus. I know how our fans are.
Starting point is 00:35:29 That's one of the better drinks. One of the better flavors is orange. Actually, it's less funny because I realize orange is an actual flavor. Like, in my mind, I was doing the DeCappelle thing where it's purple drink because purple isn't a flavor. But, like, orange is totally a flavor. But, you know, I was just fucking around about the Michelle Obama thing. But I thought one of our viewers had a comment here that flew by, so I can't remember their name. And I'm sorry, that said, these motherfuckers tried to make it look like a coupon.
Starting point is 00:35:55 mailing and snuck that in there, which I think that's an interesting angle on that particular one too. You put the big juicy cheeseburger on there. You make it look to the, you know, casual eye as though it's like, oh, Hardy's got a, this is a coupon here, pick it up. And the next thing, you know, oh shit, not the cheeseburgers. Kind of ingenious. Well, here's the thing. This goes back to something that I think I've talked about on this podcast with you guys. They're not dumb. They're just bad. They're bad people. They're not, dude, of course, like, dude, first off, why do you think
Starting point is 00:36:29 I noticed it so quick? You know what I mean? Like, I thought I was getting like a fucking half off mushroom Swiss or something. And then I picked, like, of course they're doing that. But like, as I said in the video, and I believe, like, they, everybody goes, look how dumb the Republican Party. They're not. They know
Starting point is 00:36:47 that that's stupid. They just know that Joe the plumber, as it were, is going to think what you thought. think it's a coupon, look at it and go, wait, what? The Democrats are trying to, you know, I was firmly a Democrat before I saw this, but now, so, you know, they're just evil geniuses. I do want to point out to what they're referring to is the Green New Deal, because AOC joked that part of the Green Deal was outlawing cows.
Starting point is 00:37:14 So whenever the right pretence says the left is humorless and don't allow jokes anymore because they're political rightness, remember that they totally took this out of context to try to scare people. the AOC is going to like, I don't know, put your cow in jail or some shit. Also, in case you think Corey's kid and his Michelle Obama rant, earlier he texted a video of cheese. Yes, a van of cheese. Yeah, a man making mozzarella cheese and Mark said that that looked like my ideal jacuzzi.
Starting point is 00:37:42 They don't treat you right, y'all. I look like I'm in a hostage video right now. So this is not the only propaganda you've received down there, Corey. again for people as a reminder Corey lives in Chickamauga, Georgia, rural north Georgia and it's propaganda season buddy there's been all kinds of stuff out there
Starting point is 00:38:02 Matt just throw up a screen grab of one of the other ones here's one Corey you saw this one Ossoff and Warnax radical agenda there again we talked about abortion on demand earlier top headline both these guys are for abortion on demand
Starting point is 00:38:17 hate freedom particularly religious hate Amy Coney Barrett but are all for all that other shit. Yeah. Another thing we talked about too, that the Republicans' propaganda they're making, actually, they're doing a really good job of making just pretty good socialist and liberal, like, to me,
Starting point is 00:38:38 because when I saw that, depending on who you are, like, I really think it's like abortion, check, you know, tax money for school, check. And I'm like, hell yeah, you know, like, get the baby out. You know, like, I'm for it. That's exactly what Mark was saying. earlier about Mike Pence said some shit that was similar and Mark
Starting point is 00:38:55 was like you know what's funny me is they apparently have a higher opinion of the Democratic Party than I do. Dude for sure. Because they make us sound like you sent me that one we just looked at you sent me a text of that and I said damn I didn't know that Ossoff and Warnock hit that hard. You know what I mean? Because they make them out to be better than we even
Starting point is 00:39:11 think they are. Yeah for sure there's that one that I don't know if that was the picture you said but it said Raphael Warnock is not just a regular Democrat. He's radical and I was like finally we've been screaming for that for years you know yeah throw up the other one matt the the screen grabs there so people know what cori's talking about either one up yeah there you go with raphael raffiel warlock in the driver's seat socialism is closer than it may appear and you can see how cori feels about right yes
Starting point is 00:39:37 that sounds awesome that'd be great you know it's just so it's so ridiculous and so not true like you know it's it's the reason why i think uh the liberals are going to take your guns away with so fresh on my mind when I was making that video because it's just the, I've heard that my literal whole life and the needle ain't been moved one centimeter on that. I've also literally never heard, I'm, I'm certain that there are some liberals that run on a campaign of, oh, take all your guns away. But guess the reason that I don't know anything by the name is because they didn't make it out that fucking debate. You know what I mean? Like, that didn't work. So I don't know, man. It's just ridiculous. Yeah. We got one more picture we can put up there, Matt,
Starting point is 00:40:20 leave of. Again, Corey's gotten a lot of this shit recently. Yeah, here's another one here. Again, this is a different checklist. Checklist for Loeffler and Purdue. 100% pro-life, 100% religious freedom, and 100% ACB for the Supreme Court. And then the second piece of
Starting point is 00:40:36 propaganda there, our family's budget paid to the order of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris signed our family's budget with the note, here's your blank check. Joe, just...
Starting point is 00:40:52 My mailbox, every day my mailbox is like watching a double feature of fucking Reefer Madness. It's just so ridiculous. Do you get, do you get the opposite at all? No, that, no, that's the thing... Okay, let's talk about that for a minute. So I was
Starting point is 00:41:08 interviewed by Newsweek earlier today. He was? For the record, did not know it was Newsweek until they put the article out because I'm stupid and I just say yes to everything. But they were asking me, they were like, so you get, you know, you get all this Republican propaganda. Like, what about on the other side?
Starting point is 00:41:24 And I was like, I said, dude, first of all, I'm not going to sit here and act like liberal propaganda doesn't exist. We've all seen the Oscars. You know, like, I know it's a real thing. But here's a, I make it. I'm, dude, I'll fuck it. Like, when I'm, when I'm making a video and I'm trying to tell you a point of mine, like technically by definition, that's what that is.
Starting point is 00:41:48 You know what I mean? But here's the. difference. When you see our propaganda shit, you've got to make the choice to click on it. You know what I mean? Like, it's not just forced... I've never gotten from the other side forced in my mailbox. No, that's never fucking
Starting point is 00:42:02 hey, it's only their shit. Like, I don't ask for this. I'm not signed up. I mean, good guess on their part that, like, hey, the dude that lives in this fairly nice house in Walker County, Georgia, this will probably hit for him. You know, like, I get where they're coming from. But no, I don't ever see it on our side. I...
Starting point is 00:42:18 Mark, how do you, like... I may just not understand the ends and outs of propaganda enough to know what the fuck I'm talking about here. But I feel like, like you said, yeah, you live in a nice house. You're white as hell. You live in rural North Georgia. Maybe it's just not, you know, the people in Atlanta are getting way more of the other type of propaganda or whatever than you. But how much, I don't know, how much can those little postcard mailers like that cost? And why not just take a flyer and throw some of them out there?
Starting point is 00:42:49 You know what I mean? Mark, is it just dumb as it seems to me to be to just not even attempt that? Or is that the way to go? My guess is two possibilities. One, it is like typecasting that like they're looking at that because there's a turnout election. They're just focusing on areas where all their voters live, like where Corey lives. Or two, it's probably that like culturally the scammers on the Republican side of the aisle working mail mail ads and like this. Right.
Starting point is 00:43:16 selling TV ads that nobody sees. But the, but in case you're wondering, like, I ask this, Corey, somebody who got naked and tried to help turn Georgia blue. You've held to become a swing state,
Starting point is 00:43:30 and I just want to point out that this is what it's like living in a swing state during an election. Right. Yeah. You put yourself in hell. Yeah, that's true. As per usual,
Starting point is 00:43:38 this is my fault. That makes a lot of say. But I'm saying, like, I just feel like, I don't know. It feels to me like, the thing about new media versus old media, Mark, like I hadn't really considered that, and that's a really good point. But I just feel like there's got to be at least a couple of people, even there in Chickamauga, who like otherwise might not have even voted, except for these like propaganda pieces and whatnot, but maybe still wouldn't have if there was some kind of force in opposition to it. I don't know. It just seems weird to me that Corey literally sees nothing from the other side,
Starting point is 00:44:19 even where he's at. That seems odd. For the record, I honestly think that liberals need to save their money on the mailers in Georgia specifically because like, let's say hypothetically I was a non-enthusiastic liberal who maybe wasn't going to vote. I wouldn't have had to see something from my side. I would have done it because of these mailers having the opposite effect. You know what I mean? That's another really good point. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:45 Like they have made me just go, okay, like I don't even wrong, I was already voting against these motherfuckers before, but now I think I want to pick up the phone and tell somebody, you know, and get on Twitter and tell somebody. So like, if I'm the liberal, I'd say save your money because they're doing it for you realistically. That's a really good point, I think. I mean, yeah, I mean, hell, we opened this by talking about how through their demonizing to us, they just make the other
Starting point is 00:45:13 the Democratic candidates sound even better than they actually are. So I mean, yeah, you're right. For the people, because everybody's saying that this runoff is all about getting out the people who already vote for you. Like, it's not about flipping somebody else. It's all about mobilizing the people who vote for you.
Starting point is 00:45:35 And so if you're talking about it from the perspective of I'm just looking at however many liberals there are in Walker County, Georgia. I mean, you're right. But if that's all you're thinking about, you're probably right, Corey, that they do enough of that for you just with this ridiculous bullshit.
Starting point is 00:45:54 100% man. I'm more fired up than I ever been just because every day I go to my mailbox hoping it's going to be a check or something and it's the opposite. You know, fuck this. God, I hate going to the goddamn mailbox. They've taken away one of my true,
Starting point is 00:46:09 my true pleasure in life. I used to always love going to the goddamn mailbox, especially around this time of year, because my birthday was December 11th, and I have a lot of old ladies in my life, and they're always sending me $10 in like a hilarious card with like a bear on it screaming with a birthday hat on it. But now every time I go,
Starting point is 00:46:24 I got to see how the world's going to come to it in and how we're not going to have any fucking cheeseburgers anymore. So the Republicans have taken away red trucker caps, my favorite hat and color, and going to the fucking mail. So I'm very energized. I would do want to remind people like every day there's a new Kelly Laughler correction story, which is why they want to talk about all this bullshit, right?
Starting point is 00:46:45 Like, here's the story from yesterday. Kelly Laughler opposes $600 benefits to those who lost work in the pandemic and said, quote, people need to get back to work and limit government dependency. And this is at the same time, her family farmed $3.2 million in federal subsidies. I agree, by the way, that people need to get back to work. but because of y'all's fucking incompetence, they can't. Right. That's why.
Starting point is 00:47:12 If you want that to happen in the future again, I've said it a million times, the conservative party, the, hey, let's play it safe a little bit now, so the future will be more secure party is the ones who's going, no, fuck it. Let's just all go out now and then we'll get another wave, and then we'll have to cancel everything again instead of just let's take a step back for a couple months, give these people the money and the groceries they need to live, and then everything would be fine.
Starting point is 00:47:36 that's playing it very conservative to me but for some reason they don't want to do that right now because they need all of us back on the fucking assembly line snorting our goddamn adderall that they prescribed to us through fucking Purdue Pharmacy and shit
Starting point is 00:47:51 and just screwing their little bullshit in together like Charlie Chaplin in modern times making the boss man all his goddamn money for Christmas fuck that shit I'm sorry I'm hi no no you hitting you hidden buddy Matt you can start throwing up comments whenever you want to Corey, you good to stick around. Hell yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:08 Okay, cool. Mark, did you want to, there was something, there was like some breaking news or something we didn't have on the outline before we started that you wanted to maybe try out there just so people know we're aware of it happening. Yeah, Trump pardoned like 15 people. Among them are like two corrupt congressmen who got, you have kept out of Congress for corruption.
Starting point is 00:48:29 Like, I think Duncan Carlson, like he was using campaign funds to buy airplane tickets for his rabbit. that's one thing he did which I'm not fucking getting I'm not kidding he bought first class tickets for his rabbit
Starting point is 00:48:44 to fly back at Fort California the blackwater ones are just gross to me so these blackwater civilian contractors shot a whole bunch of Iraqi women and children in Baghdad
Starting point is 00:48:56 years ago and got convicted a murder for it it doesn't even qualify as a war crime because they weren't soldiers it's just straight up murder they disobey direct orders to not leave the green zone. They left the green zone and shot a bunch of women and kids.
Starting point is 00:49:11 And now they're going to go free because on the lives. I don't know, man. So on this subject, pardons are one of the things that you can expect, I think. We're into the last 30 days, hopefully, massive coup, notwithstanding of Trump's presidency, but the last 30 days. I think a lot of people are worried about what kind of damage he can do in 30 days. What do you think, Corey?
Starting point is 00:49:41 Well, it's crazy to me that, like, because I've seen a lot of people, I've seen him tweeting, and I've seen all this, you know, shit, like, here's what Trump is trying to do on his way out. And it's like, dog, don't start being the president now. You know what I mean? Like, you took fucking four years off,
Starting point is 00:49:56 like, just golf for 30 more days. Why? Like, why now are you trying to show up? Like when I was about to quit a job or if I, damn sure I knew if I got fired, like, and they're like, just worked the rest of this day. Like, I'm not going to be at the goddamn cash register. I'm going to be in the back eating everybody's fucking oatmeal cream pies and keeping them myself. You know what I mean? Like, why?
Starting point is 00:50:14 Just go sit down. It's cool. Yep. Derek Duke says, none for Joe Exotic, though. That is, like, I'm not serious. I know. Yeah, it's been brought up of, like, I've been expecting him and still kind of do expect him to pardon Joe Exotic just because it seems. like the ultimate Trump move.
Starting point is 00:50:33 Yeah. But it's funny that like the Blackwater people who murdered 17 civilians in Iraq are on the list, but like Exotic can't reach that level yet for this guy. For sure. Because Trump's like, everybody knows that if Joe Exotic gets out, they're going to make another one of those and we can't handle that shit. You know what I mean? Joe Exotic is a peeper shit.
Starting point is 00:50:55 And I've said that Joe Exotic should be part in the show before. I think people think I'm kidding. But I kind of have some. Definitely much more than said than the Blackwater dudes that killed 17 people. Easily. I mean, yeah, if you're going to do that, you might as well pardon the fucking tiger murder guy. Shit. Joe was a fucking shit with his tigers, but what he's in prison for is contracting the murder of Carol Baskins, right?
Starting point is 00:51:21 But the guy who suggested contracting the murder and arranged it, then turned Joe in just so we could have the zoo. But he's the fucking asshole. that dude that wore the underarmor shit with the backwards hat I'm glad to say I have forgotten that guy's name but we all know the guy we're talking about to me the biggest douche
Starting point is 00:51:41 of that entire documentary series which was filled right populated to the brim with douches I can't believe that was this year man like that blows my mind like that very much seems like a whole lifetime ago
Starting point is 00:51:55 like Joe Exotic seems like a whole other world yeah Yeah, man, 2020. Oh, fuck it. That was really, fuck it up the butt. Clear phases. Like, Tiger King was like phase one, right? Yeah, it was.
Starting point is 00:52:09 And then there was last dance. And then there was like, that's true. Last dance was a hitting phase. I enjoyed that phase. Yeah, it was like, there was a little bit of hope, and we were all relaxed. Everybody had dried out a little bit.
Starting point is 00:52:24 And then after that, it's just sucked. Yeah, but the last dance phase, that was my favorite phase. Jackie Lee Gilmer over here says Orange Jesus is going to pardon the Tiger King guy that was written in stone or something like that and I mean yeah again I like I have been kind of expecting it the whole time
Starting point is 00:52:41 just because how it is Paula Rupert Fletcher says do y'all think Trump will show for Biden's inauguration not only do I think no Mark sent us a thing the other day but we didn't have it on the show I don't think he's like he sent out a message to all of his followers and stuff that says join me for
Starting point is 00:53:01 my re-election thing on the day of the inauguration in Mara Lago. He's having his own re-election party in Mar-a-Lago during the inauguration. He's already publicly stated it. So hell no, he won't be there. He's going to be down there celebrating his own victory,
Starting point is 00:53:19 which is in fucking saint. We're so used to it by now, but like, that shit is fucking crazy that he's going to be. gonna do that. It will be the first time though that it's okay in my opinion like right now his
Starting point is 00:53:35 right now his crait's like it's it's fun sometimes to look and go look how insane this motherfucker is but you're like he still has the nuclear football all that stuff and like people still follow him that day if Biden's being inaugurated and Trump has that it's officially just funny and sad
Starting point is 00:53:51 and not terrifying anymore and I cannot wait for that. Mark's pointed that out a bunch of like I just can't wait until this dude is just still, because he's still going to do all this shit. That's one thing that we talk about all the time. We go, what are you comedians going to do without Trump
Starting point is 00:54:06 as if he's going to shut the fuck up? We'll still have him. I can tell you this. Most of us, very relieved that we can move on to something else. Very relief. But he will still be on some bullshit without a doubt for the rest of his sad,
Starting point is 00:54:21 stinky life. Yeah, it's going to be like him having his own inauguration is just so funny to me. It's like, Mrs. Haversham wandering around
Starting point is 00:54:29 or wedding dress. Yeah. But, like, he's going to have his own little presidency where it's in which to really exist on Twitter. It's going to be like, like Maggie Simpson's fake steering wheel. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:44 Yeah. The way I think about it is like, it's like when, you know, you had that little kid who's like three or four year old kid who's just like being a little bitch and his older brother. Like,
Starting point is 00:54:52 it's his birthday, but you have to get the little kid a present on that day too or he'll just fucking throw, a goddamn tantrum. That's how Trump feels to me having his own inauguration. Kim Shea 22 from YouTube said, even Pat Robertson says that Trump's
Starting point is 00:55:07 living in an alternate reality. And that's I saw that quote earlier. It's like, you got fucking Pat Robertson and Mitch McConnell you know, and people like that. Yeah. Saying explicitly, this is absurd. Please don't buy into this
Starting point is 00:55:23 or whatever. And so that just shows you how crazy those people. I got I got to read this real quick. So Jason Rutterman says, Trey was honestly the best comedian on a special last weekend. Well, thank you, Jason. But, I mean, of course, I mean, look, I should be. I have to be.
Starting point is 00:55:36 You know what I mean? If I wasn't, it would be up, yeah. Actually, you know what? Actually, last weekend was, damn, Jason, I'm sorry. I'm very flattered by that. Thank you. Because I'm assuming you meet, yes, the one last weekend. I had to just, you know what I had to do.
Starting point is 00:55:51 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. The weekend before that, me and Corey and Diamond Drew Morgan had our own special on rush ticks. That's why I thought you meant it first. I knew for a fact that you didn't mean that. Yes, I mean he still did. But knowing that you mean this past weekend, I really appreciate you
Starting point is 00:56:09 saying that. That was a great time. But yeah, fucking Sarah Silverman, Patton Oswald, Zach Alfanacus, Sarah Cooper. Star studded. And I mean, yeah, I brought the heat. I brought the heat. Y'all know me. If Tray's finished self-elating, I do want to for a second. Because before the election,
Starting point is 00:56:27 he had said that it was foretold to him that Trump was going to win the election because God had ordained it. So now that Pat Robertson has conceded that God was defeated, I think it's time for God to go to the locker room. Dude, okay. Corey, you grew up pretty churchy back in the day, like in childhood and stuff. You know all about the Bible and church and stuff. On that note, since Mark brought it up, it's always fascinated me whenever you have like the Doomsday prophesy. that get any kind of play like Christian Doomsday Prophysers and then invariably every single time
Starting point is 00:57:03 the world doesn't end like how does how do they justify just being so wrong about what God foretold and like Mark just a Pat Robertson God foretold Donald Trump will be reelected now that he hasn't been like how do they how do they do that
Starting point is 00:57:22 I don't I don't know it's just I think those type of people that can attract any, any doomsday predictor that can attract a following, those people are just so far gone that you can probably keep twisting them ever which way. And also, man, you can always fall back on God works in mysterious ways. But with Pat Robertson, those dudes, like, as someone who grew up in the church, it, I, even as a young kid, I was immediately like, yeah, you can't do that because in the Bible, it says that on the second coming, God will return like a thief in the night and you'll never know it.
Starting point is 00:57:58 So my whole thought with that is like, he literally says no one will know, no one will know the hour. So if you're prophesizing that you do, that means God is wrong. And if God is wrong, your whole thing's fucked up. It is wild to me that. It's wild to me that you just said that cord because I was about to read a comment
Starting point is 00:58:14 that I saw over here scrolling by from Carlos something. I'm sorry Carlos. They go by really quickly. But Carlos said, okay, we get it. You guys don't like Christians. Just so you know, the Bible-specific says that no one will know the time and he said that and i was about to read it before you said to shit yourself core but yeah no that's not again we're not talking about yeah we're talking about
Starting point is 00:58:37 these specific people i would also like to say that shit false prophets motherfuckers what they are well i would like to say i do hate christians but i grew up in the i don't really i'm kidding but like i grew unlike like i grew up in the church which is why i have a um a little chip on my shoulder a little bitter taste in my mouth like i grew up in it and was kind of scarred by it. But yeah, man, like, dude, for the record, Pat Robertson, all the, like, preachers now, you see, like, are super political.
Starting point is 00:59:04 When I was a kid growing up, I specifically remember it was during the Dole, it was during the Bob Dole, Bill Clinton election. The preacher came right out and said, like, I can't tell you who to vote for. That's not my job as a pastor. I'm not here to get political. And they didn't.
Starting point is 00:59:20 They never talked about it. It was never once a thing. And now it's all of a sudden everybody's duty. So, like, that has shifted a lot. in my lifetime. I don't want to hammer this person too much. They feel picked on. I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:59:34 It's not what we're going for here. But also, I did like, I still got a church when I want my home. My mom, church is very important to her. I love and adore Christians. I've not a big fan of the church.
Starting point is 00:59:46 What else was Jesus Christ. He didn't flip over the money changing table in the temple because he thought the Pharisees were cool. And by the way, the Pharisees were sucking up to the Roman government. that was the problem. So whenever you see a televangelist raking in money while kissing the government's ass, just remember how Christianity was started.
Starting point is 01:00:06 So, yeah. Right. Vanessa Craddock says he's going to spend the next, talking about Trump, he's going to spend the next four years trying to undermine everything Biden does. I mean, I think that is undoubtedly true.
Starting point is 01:00:17 I mean, of course he is. What else is he going to fucking do? But like, I don't know. I just can't be that worried about, right. Yeah, exactly. Like I take,
Starting point is 01:00:25 that for granted and yeah you know we'll just have to fucking deal with that yeah i don't know uh running around uh fucking trump shit up the last four years um yeah it's been great no yeah because what would you say well the world's gone now it's not coming back so i don't understand this thing where presidents go completely out of politics and let their entire legacies be obliterated without fighting back i mean like in england you use the prime ministership you just go back to the House of Commons or whatever. I mean, I've always looked at it as like, you know, if
Starting point is 01:01:01 politics is a video game, president is the last boss, and then you turn the game off. You beat the game and turn it off, right. Yeah, going to another, like, you know, fucking go win, surf. That actually, I mean, yeah, we're taking it for granted that Trump is going to do that and he will absolutely do that.
Starting point is 01:01:20 But yeah, that's kind of like an unspoken agreement between all of them, right? It's like kind of part of the code. Because Obama's young. I mean, they've all, Bush was the same. Clinton, I feel like they all, like, it's a thing they do. When they're done, it's like just an unwritten rule amongst them. They understand you just stay out of it after that or whatever.
Starting point is 01:01:41 So Trump doing what he's definitely going to do will be breaking form, right, and be unprecedented. But I mean, but still, that's what he does. Like Nixon, of course it's going to happen. Like Nixon doing the interview with Frost was like a, a. about as much as, you know, you really ever saw that, like, that shit, like the, you know, the fame chasing shit. But, like, yeah, Trump,
Starting point is 01:02:03 this motherfucker gonna be around for a while. He'll probably die, though. Like, honestly, he's gonna die. How has he not died already, man? I think he's dead. He's so old and fat and dumb and don't hit. I know he's rich and powerful, but still. Yeah, I think it's a different guy.
Starting point is 01:02:21 I think they've just inflated, like, an old orange like they made this you know what i mean like or an old football like it it ain't him it's weekend at burning so shit can you think about how much it hurt your feelings if you just mind you're in business and somebody asked you to be trump's body double yeah that was fucking all right well Corey thank you so much for joining us thank you all for watching us yes that's it for this edition of evening skews as a reminder we will not be here Thursday it's christmas eve go do Christmas Eve shit.
