The Chris Licht fan, Chris James. about guys i am brian my co-host is here uh the chris licht fan chris james he's a bad guy with the cnn people oh i see okay yeah i don't i don't know maybe if i saw it in print there's a lot of names i know in print but i haven't i don't watch cnn so i don't i don't know what they a faux news fan chris james okay oh fox news is that that's how they call it yeah it's f-a-u-x okay yeah these aren't these aren't the worst insults you've given me off the top uh that's not too bad yeah how's everyone doing um and our guest this week is from the Scamfluencers podcast, Sarah Hagee.
Starting point is 00:01:08 Hello. Hey, how are you? Now I won't have to say any names anymore. You can't get so excited when you just pronounce the name. First off, it's a very easy name to pronounce. It'd be hard you get it wrong i'm i'm glad you know you never said it before and you said it properly so yeah that's great people pronounce my last name oh sarah that you just got to learn a very important part of the podcast and that is brian's flubs.
Starting point is 00:01:45 There's a huge group called the Flubheads who they go crazy. They chant flub. They love when he makes mistakes or flubs. And that one, Nime. Nime. What is a Nime? That's pretty good. But people have always gotten my last name wrong, Quimby.
Starting point is 00:02:02 It's with an N, and they always do it with a B. Or when i was growing up people would say quimbly and it doesn't have an l in it so i never really realized that so i don't know i'm always nervous that i get people's names wrong also i'm name blind so okay i don't know if that's name blind i never heard of that that just sounds like an excuse for being i just never know anybody's name i can't tell anybody's name in a movie yeah i'm not you shouldn't have to know that though i agree i agree well we we are this week looking at you know i wanted to say we're gonna do all cable news guys and we are we're gonna hit
Starting point is 00:02:41 all the cable channels i do want to let you guys know that cnn is has the craziest fans of all of the people over fox and over msnbc like so we will lean heavily on cnn for some reason yeah that's i don't know i guess that i i suppose i would expect fox news fans to be a little bit wild as well in the comments. But yeah, maybe it's that type of person who's on the forums and commenting and stuff. The CNN fans have more of a tendency to do that. But cable news, CNN is not cable, right? Well, what is it?
Starting point is 00:03:20 Yeah, what is cable? What the hell is cable? We live in Canada. I'm like, what are you paying? Like, you pay for what channel? Yeah, like, isn't CNN one of the main channels? Don't you just get it? No, you don't get it for free. You have to pay for that. You're going to pay for everything except for ABC, CBS, and NBC and Fox here.
Starting point is 00:03:37 As long as you can just go with the rapid. So Fox News you pay for? You have to pay for Fox News. Oh, wow. And you have to pay for CNN. You have to pay for MSNBC, CNBC. You have to pay for fox news oh wow and you have to pay for cnn you have to pay for msnbc cnbc you have to pay for all of those things that's i wonder if that's the case canada i guess it is i guess i just don't have i don't use like i don't watch tv in that way but i suppose you
Starting point is 00:03:58 have to pay for it in one way or the other you'd have to have like a news package or something like yeah like packages you know well it's basic basic cable here have like a news package or something like that like packages you know well it's basic basic cable here is like a collection of like 70 channels or something like that that just kind of so many that's so many channels they're the ones that just kind of come with your cable like that that like you sign up right right. And you get like, I think 50 to 70 channels. I, I know this because I used to work for the cable company. Oh, here we go. I worked there and, but yeah, you get CNN, Fox news, MSNBC, CNBC, and these are all different channels with different vibes. Like people know Fox news. And I know that people tune into this thinking well the fox news guys
Starting point is 00:04:45 are going to be crazy they are definitely crazy but in a really i made some rules with this episode and most of this episode i'm able to avoid we're not even talking about the people's politics we're talking about the people that love the news and the personalities on the news so they're not we're not even we're gonna you're telling me on this show on this episode we're gonna we're not gonna be political is that what you're saying i'm saying that i'm saying i'm saying that that we're looking more at people who are, I guess in my opinion, they are fans of the news. And so of the anchor, the personalities. What is a news fan?
Starting point is 00:05:32 Like they're Tapper heads? Yes. Tapper. Jake Tapper. I kept tagging Jake Tapper. We found out he followed me on and then I was really high on weed edibles streaming and we thought it was funny to keep tagging him in tweets and that's I feel kind of bad I'm just remembering that now is he but he's he's bad right oh yeah
Starting point is 00:06:00 he sucks um okay good fall because He followed me once before too. And I was like, that's weird. But you know, like random people just fall. Like he falls like whatever, a few thousand people. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then he replied to one of my tweets and it made me so scared. It was like innocuous. It was something, I don't even remember what it was.
Starting point is 00:06:21 And I soft blocked him because I was like, I can't do this. Yeah, you can't have Jake. You can't just open up your phone as like Jake Tapper's like, well, that's quite interesting. And you're like, what the fuck? No, i can't do this yeah you can't have jake you can't just be like open up your phone as like jake tapper's like well that's quite interesting yeah what the no i couldn't do it as like you're not a person to me and we you're not we can't interact this way we're not tapper heads but but brian you encountered did you encounter any tapper heads in your there were a few there was a guy that said they need to fire Jake Tapper. I can probably find that. Who's the most popular? Who's got the most fanboys and girls? It would be the Wolf Blitzers.
Starting point is 00:06:55 I knew it was going to be Wolf Blitzers. It's Papa Wolf. He's got that grandpa kind of vibe to him. People are comforted by him. papa wolf that people are got he's got that grandpa kind of vibe to him so people are kind of like they're they're comforted by him and he's so incompetent sometimes that when he is like right you're like oh good like that's oh that was great yeah old wolf got one yeah he does kind of have that yeah and he seems even though he probably is very harmful he does have a harmless quality to him because he looks like old grandpa kind of you know he definitely looks like old grandpa so
Starting point is 00:07:30 people aren't like hot for him right no i mean we'll read some okay obviously this is the guy's podcast there are going to be perfect i will say uh sarah that i had the same exact thing happen to me this week i found out that opie follows me which is a shock jock that I make fun of a lot. And now I feel guilty and I can't post about Opie anymore. And it's Greg Opie Hughes from the Opie and Anthony podcast. He's worse than you could even be imagining in your head. Yeah, it's really we make fun of him a lot on the stream like a lot in like a way where if he were to it's a kind of thing where
Starting point is 00:08:13 it's like if he were to watch it it it'll be like this is horrifying what we're doing saying about this man it's you know what i mean but he's like a public figure i guess but he's he's not very popular i've got a part of him like you know he must like be a bit flattered though yeah yeah i think so i think you're right he is that kind of guy a little bit he just he likes to be talked about and stuff but again i think it would cross the line where you're like oh it's nice to be talked about and then you'd be listening to the stuff we're saying and it would not be nice for very long. one as far left as cable news goes you know it's looked at as as like uh it's looked at as communist but it's basically basically a communist network yeah paul yeah and uh this is the first thing and i i found this so crazy that they're doing this congrats you get to produce an hour show on msnbc what's your show this is like this is like what it's like a kid's little children's but doesn't it depend on what's going on that day like are they
Starting point is 00:09:33 inventing news or are they just saying like okay so first rachel maddow's on yeah and then like yeah i'm thinking probably it's something like that, like stunt casting it a little bit. And then, like, can you imagine, like, Rachel and Wolf together? Oh, wait, Wolf's CNN. Sorry. Who do they even have on their roster? Who are we working with? Maddow? Who else?
Starting point is 00:09:57 Chris Hedges? No, Chris, the guy. Chris Hayes. Chris Hayes? Yeah, he's on there. Lawrence O'Donnell is on there.urence o'donnell yes okay yeah yeah yep those are basic morning joe is on there you know morning yeah yeah the worst thing in the world i used to watch it before work after they canceled imus um which i also used to watch before work and what work was that? The cable company.
Starting point is 00:10:29 I had to be in at 11 o'clock in the morning. So what time did you roll in at? 11. Because I want to be clear, this guy was the worst employee. We've been over it. He crashed a car. I mean, in his defense, he was on pills. He was on a lot of pills. And so he would just crash the car and stuff and actively try to get
Starting point is 00:10:47 fired. But, and I'm sorry, I know I repeat this a lot of the podcast, but he couldn't get fired because his boss was also on pills and he didn't want to cause any sort of, you know, so he just,
Starting point is 00:11:00 no matter what Brian did to try to get fired, he could not get fired from the job i had to quit uh five two six five five two five six chuck said i'd let the junior producers show off their growing skills and research yeah that's so generous it's like you know what there are people there that we're not recognizing and they should show us what they think news should be. Yeah, that's so cool to even think about those people because I wouldn't be considering the behind the scenes people. No, the way you know they exist is because you watch like the newsroom or the morning show and you're like, oh, they have inner worlds in the rooms where they're looking at a bunch of screens. inner worlds in the middle rooms where they're looking at a bunch of screens what's funny too because it's like it's like in sports when they're like you're out so far ahead why don't you let
Starting point is 00:11:50 some of the uh bench players out yeah totally yeah i mean msnbc is obviously killing it so hard that you know they've got a huge lead over the competition why not let some other people get in there and stat you know we don't want to stat Pat too much. Deep bench they have there, really. To show off their growing skills in research and message development and start a debate show. Each day would be a different topic, but definitely involving a current event or current concern. Two producers would take
Starting point is 00:12:25 opposing views and produce a tight 15-minute segment defending their POV. The segments will be shown back-to-back, cut for extended commercial breaks, five minutes max, and then save the final 22 minutes. There will be a three-minute break in the middle of this segment or at the end for a discussion about the validity of the arguments presented with fact-checking if needed. There's so many reasons why this doesn't work. Okay, first of all, no one wants to do that much work. No one's getting paid enough to do that much work. A junior producer, I hope, would be upset
Starting point is 00:13:02 that they'd be asked to do something like this for, what, $ forty thousand dollars a year yeah yeah yeah not making the same amount as lawrence o'donnell and also what are they gonna debate about they all say the same thing like it's like yeah i'm watching it thinking that these people have like you're watching a bunch of different opinions here that's the thing i found really interesting about this because like the news channels that we have are all so like everybody on msnbc believes the same things or will only say the same thing occasionally they'll have like a token you know like conservative voice that isn't really a conservative voice or like vice versa you know
Starting point is 00:13:46 or it's like the most evil person they could find randomly and you're like wait what like why is this war criminal here talking about this um by the way i think that your your mic thing has gone to the other thing so if it still doesn't sound bad so it's totally fine but just just if it does yeah if you can adjust it he's also not done he says i'd see this show replacing andrea at noon hour it'll be huge springboard for msnbc talent and research groups as well as being a very solid source for highly considered and trustworthy talking points. Let's make it happen. Okay. You're inventing something that shouldn't exist.
Starting point is 00:14:33 I think there's going to be a lot of that that we're going to look at here today. A lot of stuff that's ill-conceived, not well thought out. A lot of people sort of proving why it is that they are not in the industry and why they're not able to make any of these decisions for real. The original poster said, I like this, especially if there was a rotating lineup of producers. Oh,
Starting point is 00:14:55 so where are they getting them all from? Where did all the producers come from? Are you, are you firing producers and breaking, breaking new ones in then for the purpose of this show they look behind them when they're in the newsroom and they see all those people like milling around and they're like that's there's so many of them we got we we need all of them on camera and we need them debating each other because i know that that's, yeah, I mean, again, yeah, they're all working for MSNBC.
Starting point is 00:15:26 They're all going to agree on the majority of topics, I would say. Well, I'd say Tarhunter here said, I host my own show about what it's like to be a teacher, and I interview teachers from all over the country. Okay, hang on. That's, I mean, listen, it's not the worst idea. That's not, listen, but it would be not that entertaining you need another angle for payment purposes but it could be kind of worthwhile it'd be interesting to see the sort of difference in in teachers from different areas of the country and their approach to teaching or whatever probably could be important and worthwhile definitely but yeah nobody would watch that shit.
Starting point is 00:16:05 No one would watch that. People wouldn't watch that on PBS. No. It's too boring. It's too boring for PBS. PBS would be like, we got to spice this up a bit. I really like the idea of them saying, I would actually host the show. The best person to probably put in an hour of programming is actually me.
Starting point is 00:16:23 I'm being objective here. But I do think it would be. I i'm being objective here but i do think it would be i've looked at the candidates and i think it would be me that's i've looked through your bench of junior producers yeah yeah i wonder if they see it like you know that like the you know when a singer gets discovered on a tv show or something. And it's like, whoa, we saw this girl singing in a barn. Yeah. Got to get over here. She needs a record deal.
Starting point is 00:16:49 Like, I wonder if they see news that way where it's like, they're just waiting to be discovered. Like they're in a bar. Yeah. Talking about politics and some producers going to be like, excuse me, I just heard your opinion on foreign policy.
Starting point is 00:17:04 Do you want to start working at msa yeah that that would be a very cool like very cool story you know like if that really happened that way that would be kind of cool i think we need a farm league actually yeah it's like guys just go the guys put on suits guys and women put on suits and they go sit on stage at a bar and talk about the news and they get like grassroots like open mics and they should have like open mics and stuff as well where you go and you like do news and you tell news to people then people like maybe it wouldn't be at bars and stuff because people don't want the news there they want like chive tv and entertainment and stuff but like maybe on like subways and or in sub in train stations and stuff
Starting point is 00:17:51 in the morning people want their news you know that would be kind of fun i think people would really respond well to that i want to see live news tonight yeah i'm going to watch some live it's uh it's it's amateur news so it's like i don't expect that all the stories will be right like i i would imagine they'll get some of the facts wrong but it's like it's amateur news so you can't wait that's just someone on like a street corner yeah well that's a news busker yeah that's a news busker that's different and we went back to the basics that's news busker yeah no what if there's like a guy with a bell going hear ye hear ye yes exactly we do need to get back to the bell um here's this the next uh plan here is um and this
Starting point is 00:18:40 is a great idea i think you guys are really going to love this. Okay. An hour of common discourse. No fame, just plain people giving their responses and resolutions to important issues of the day. I think it would be a big hit. I'd end the show with one of the CD interviewing one of the famous on an issue of the day or choice. I'd love to produce. Okay. or choice i'd love to produce okay so he's saying that but the cd take the common person and interview a famous person on an issue of their choice i'd love to produce a show like that it's like no listen i would watch it every day because it would be fucking insane it would be actually
Starting point is 00:19:19 wild if you just let like random people interview like if i could leonardo dicaprio i mean that's you they wouldn't go for it his like his team wouldn't you wouldn't get celebrities on the show that would be the problem with that one but jake tapper has to sit across from like a common guy for 15 minutes and they fucking sit there and just talk about what that guy thinks because i mean listen i think common people are really smart i mean they understand they look at some of them some of them are yeah they don't have like even i talk for a living and i don't have like a coherent set of things you know yeah asking people questions is actually not easy. I think that,
Starting point is 00:20:09 I don't think they realize like how boring it usually is to talk to someone. Yeah. Yeah. You can watch like those, like when like two authors are like on stage and they're like discussing something totally dry. Oh man. Also, two authors are like on stage and they're like discussing something totally dry oh man also i
Starting point is 00:20:26 think what this is illustrating to me the most is that these people think this is all off the dome like like an interviewer sits down and is like so uh leo when you did that in flower killers of the flower like they don't yeah they don't know that they're they're people coming up with these questions yeah the writing team and they're like and they're like figuring out like good questions or like you know they're they're like what's it called what's it called when you put it in front of like a group of people focus of their focus grouping the questions and stuff and figuring out like the most appropriate ones or whatever yeah it's i i mean again it is a common thing we deal with in guys is that they a lot of them even though they love these things and it seems to be their whole life they seem to also have a very a big misunderstanding of what
Starting point is 00:21:18 it is a lot of the time even you know any entertainment thing they just they have no because it's not it's hard to see jay rock says i'd get joe scarborough on prime time light a fire under his ass about democracy and let him rip oh yeah is that or auntie that's and joe's from morning joe right yeah yeah yeah yeah that's the guy and just light a fire fucking so just let him go about demar so he's got a like he's got a big phone to pick with democracy i i i yeah that yeah that's interesting you know i i really think uh also this is like newsroom brain like oh believing really believing in the news as this like force of good and that it's like
Starting point is 00:22:08 this these passionate people who just care about the world so much are bringing this to us and morning joe guy he has so much to say about it's like he really probably doesn't i don't think he believes in anything yeah he yeah he's if he's yeah he's been working at that job for that network for that long. I don't think he has. Yeah, I would say, though, have you considered, though, what if they really lit a fire under his ass and just let him go? I mean, I'm just thinking if he gets democracy in his crosshairs, that could be uh just to see how he eviscerates democracy because he hates it or he likes it does he yeah okay he loves it so they want him to talk about the thing that he loves that's because it's not it's well it's not happening i guess
Starting point is 00:22:57 maybe let him rip maybe he's mad mad because it's not happening in his opinion and yeah who knows but yeah i think just he honestly light a fire and just see where it takes. And this is our last our last suggestion. Good news in true numbers. Wake up with a smile and see the math of life on Earth. Not just how we think you should feel about it. What? Good news.
Starting point is 00:23:22 No one's ever thought of that idea before so that could actually be that's an interesting concept what are the news but it's good positive stories no one ever you know every single time someone drives him like that they realize that no one cares no one cares about anything good that's happening i don't give a shit about an old lady you know it makes me happy like for like you know what i mean i'm like i'll get a little moment of like oh that's kind of nice you know what i mean but yeah it doesn't uh it doesn't feel good stories it's because something evil is happening that can't change so they never want to go far enough where it's like oh man this old lady couldn't afford surgery and this whole town rallied around her and paid for it and it's like why can't she afford surgery yeah yeah those ones
Starting point is 00:24:06 are really good where it's like this kid like he went to you know he went out and did three paper roads to pay for his mom's like whatever you're like oh that's horrible let's let's jump to cnn here we go channel 33 when i was growing up out in vancouver channel 33 on your cable i think it was nine on mine but uh this guy goes if i have to watch one more story about anderson cooper weeping about his family i'm gonna vomit enough already this is the stuff of a local newscast well what happened to his i don't know but i don't want to comment on this because if his family like died of a disease i don't want to his mom was because if his family died of a disease, I don't want to. His mom was rich.
Starting point is 00:24:48 I don't know. Maybe like a famous mom or something. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, I don't think he was crying because his mom was rich, Brian. I think he might have been. He's like, my mom was so rich. It was so hard. Everybody would have called me rich. Yeah, I mean, they were millionaire equestrians.
Starting point is 00:25:07 He was in the building. I mean, that's not surprising. And his two children. I can look up his two children and everything you need to know about them. Don't look up the man's children. Oh, I just, I'm looking. Anderson, he has two children. Everything you need to know.
Starting point is 00:25:22 You don't need to bring his children to him. Well, they don't want to hear about it at all on cnn um this guy goes maybe don't watch anderson's cooper show anderson cooper show he's like i don't he invaded the morning show don't oh oh it was grief it was grief um he has a brother who died and his mom died in 2019 at the age of 95, which is like, Oh yeah, you can actually like, well, no,
Starting point is 00:25:51 you can cry of course, but you're not going to get like, that's the end of the life. You know what I mean? That's the like proper time. So it's kind of like a happy time as well. And it's so mean even just to be like, I'm sick of him weeping about
Starting point is 00:26:05 his family as brother tied like come on man like that that's a person who isn't really like in touch with their emotions probably that person writing in and they're they're uncomfortable to see somebody who's like you know sort of is maybe you know yeah well they get into a little fight i wanted to maybe don't watch anderson cooper shows i don't he invaded the morning show don't be snarky excuse me but aren't you snarky oh my god this is such a cnn fight oh excuse me but i think you will find that you are the one who is displaying the snarky young man. This is a couple old ladies, man. This is definitely.
Starting point is 00:26:51 I mean, it's his elderly people, I feel like. Make a snarky comment. Get a snarky answer. You just think it's snarky because they didn't agree with you. He has a grief podcast, which is why he's on other shows and talking about his family. They were the reason he started and he's promoting the beginning of its second season okay so that's fair totally fair totally fair now so i did not he's literally going on a show promoting a podcast about grief and discussing the deaths that led to him starting the podcast and it made him emotional this guy's
Starting point is 00:27:24 a really the person the initial person is a him emotional. This guy's a really, the person, the initial person is a really bad person. he's also saying he, this is his last post. And right. He goes, no,
Starting point is 00:27:34 it's knee jerk snarky because an assumption was made. I was watching his show anyway. I just, just getting so bogged down in the details of the argument now, because the arguments now become the most important thing. You know, like, listen, whatever, the topic, the facts, I want to get to whether or not this was snarky. And it was. It's actually what's known as knee-jerk snarkiness. There's a term for it. Knee-jerk snarkiness. There's a term for it. Knee-jerk snarky is good.
Starting point is 00:28:07 But he goes, anyway, CNN has a long history of hiring mediocre talent and then turning on the marketing and hype machines to convince us these people are journalistic stars. They're not. That's true. That is true. Yeah. Cooper cannot conduct live interviews without stammering and stuttering through every question and comment. This is not the mark of a professional. And there are thousands of others who can do better. Super cannot conduct live interviews without stammering and stuttering through every question and comment. This is not the mark of a professional.
Starting point is 00:28:29 And there are thousands of others who can do better. But are they handsome? Yeah. I think he does. He's got that white hair. I mean, it's just there's something that he does have. I trust him. I don't watch him. And I think he's probably bad and stuff but his face
Starting point is 00:28:46 he's got that like a good trustworthy news face and he's not bad to look at he doesn't stammer and stuff like let's be honest he's a pretty decent he's pretty well spoken and there are probably people who could do a better job than him but he's not like one of the really bad ones as far as doing the job. I don't feel, I think he falls in line with how CNN operates, which is that no one really asks any follow-up questions to anything. Anyone says, Oh yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:15 And I, I don't know. I think he's bad at, he's bad at journalism. I think probably CNN. Yeah. And also is he, yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:23 Is he like actually bad is just like as it as like a you know his like voice and the way that he like is able to conduct himself on there and that way i feel like he's able to do that side of it you know yeah uh so they got uh one another big news guy thing is to get mad at the commercials that are on the channel which they don't understand because this guy goes uh i'm tired of seeing oh where'd it go okay so this person's like i have never seen my pillow on cnn and they get a response back that says unfortunately i did have me scream at the tv and give him the finger i wasn't alone in the room oops oh i fucking hate these fucking people brian oops oh they're so fucking old and gory and oh my what i was not this is like what's that person who's like crumulent like whatever oh yes yes Tommy needed needed drinky guy yeah
Starting point is 00:30:26 that's this shit it's people who are like yeah I curse yeah I sorry and there was uh yeah there was a couple other people there whoopsies um that is that's horrible that is um listen that does totally make sense i i will say my my mom is you know she watches cnn and msmdc she wouldn't go online and post about it but she might send me a message if she saw my pillow ad sure you would be like that would upset her and she would be like what's that of course she also knows the my pillow guy because i often prank call him on his cell phone. How performative. It's that performative. I'm angry.
Starting point is 00:31:11 And I'll bet you the person that's I'm flipping it off and I'm screaming and they're looking at every other person. Yeah. Yeah. I'm strong about CNN kind of became like a real identity for people like during the trump stuff like they were like they were 24 hour trump all the time yeah you could turn it on anytime and they would be unpacking something and like you know there was a moment where you're like oh man like i'm this is cnn's the only place where i'm hearing this thing i think for people who are really into the trump stuff so
Starting point is 00:31:45 i do think they're i think the difference between cnn and msnbc is that cnn people think they're like actually warriors who believe in something that's what i find so interesting is they all they're all just like a group of people who are big fans of a thing they don't care really what's in the news. I cannot tell you. And I didn't get it. I didn't copy any of these. But if you go to any of the three CNN, Fox News, MSNBC,
Starting point is 00:32:14 if you go to any of the three Reddit pages right now, especially with MSNBC, they're mad because of the Gaza coverage, because it seems to have knocked the ukraine coverage off of like they're not mad they're not mad about how they're disproportionately clearly they're reporting it from like they're mad just because oh man yeah they're mad because the show isn't well i did see i did did see online just kind of really going through that type of resist lib Twitter world of people saying what's happening right now, the whole Gaza, Israel stuff, it's a distraction. because all these people are getting elected and there's a new speaker of the house or whatever and no one's paying attention to that man because of a genocide yeah if that's the distraction
Starting point is 00:33:14 honestly they are kind of like people who think wrestling is real they are exactly it's like that mentality yeah that yeah brian knows brian thinks wrestling's real i think it's real but i'm saying that like they they like argue about ratings too which is a big wrestling thing like the big you know they argue between the companies and yeah they really do i mean i've seen so many people say i'm nervous that i'm missing news because of the gaza stuff and it's like that's news that's the news that's the news yeah but they want to see the ukraine they want to see some more information about the trump indictments and stuff like that it's like i even feel like because they're like oh it's you know 10 minutes of every
Starting point is 00:34:05 hour and i i the other day i was reading one that imperiated me that it said they should they should just stop talking about it because it's too complex for cable news which is true i do agree with that but cable news is on for 24 hours oh yeah you have the time you have the time to actually they have a time and also it's kind of like so are you saying you just kind of want to go to the baby stuff like you're like this is like i'm like i'm like level one guys i don't want to be level three discourse i think a lot of them don't yeah it just it i feel like i'm just thinking about it now it's like they basically like msnbc and cnn created these huge villains trump being the big one putin being the other one so these are the villains that like you know they hate these are the ones that we hate
Starting point is 00:34:55 we hate them they're the baddies and yeah this coverage requires them to not only stop, like take, you know, a time away from hating the big baddies, but also reconcile the fact that their bet, their good guy is like a baddie as well, because Joe Biden is the baddie in this story. And so to them, they look at it so simple like that. It's like, oh, well, no, this is a horrible story, because people are coming down on Joe Biden. And you you know what that does sarah that just gets donald trump elected so that's the way they look at it that's how they look at it that's exactly it yeah that's why i mean the people that are speaking out for for the palestinians they're just really just trying to get trump elected anyway it's just one of those things i mean that's why it's all a distraction dude yeah man i love those people because it's like so you're the really smart person and everybody else is under the spell of the news i hate that this guy goes uh so they're talking about the my pillow and they reply you know what you guys are probably right sometimes i briefly switch to fox quote news oh oh yeah sometimes i just like go check it out because it's like just for a laugh you know it's like i just want to see how stupid this stuff is and it's like they do have some kind
Starting point is 00:36:17 of interesting ideas and like some of their stories are kind of cool i guess they talk about gaza a lot less stuff yeah they're talking about more of the stuff i'm interested in so and they go this is so funny to me this is their on the next two are kind of their understanding of what i think they think discourse and news is and he got this she goes i can't imagine either that the guy would be allowed to show his lying face on any other network. I can barely believe he's showing it anywhere at all. By the way, he's not allowed on Fox News. Clearly, he has no sense of shame or embarrassment, or maybe he's bankrupt.
Starting point is 00:36:58 Didn't he also have to pay a fine to Dominion Voting Machines? So this guy replies and goes, this guy's replying about the commercials, and I love this. The commercials do make them look bad, but CNN sold its soul a long time ago and now is barely better than Fox News when it comes to that kind of advertising they're willing to allow. They have also broadcasted commercials for Balance of Nature, a supplement that recently got banned by the FDA for making false claims about preventing and curing diseases and it's like these people don't know that the the cable this is that's the reason for the cable news is to sell these things also you know they're watching it really late at night if that's the shit they're seeing like you're not seeing those ads at like like, 6 p.m. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Those are the middle of the night.
Starting point is 00:37:46 What time are you awake watching your guys on the news, dude? Like, you got to – yeah, they get really – Like, I keep seeing Everest College commercials and payday loans. And it's like, yeah, because you're watching TV at 3 a.m. You always have it on. Well, yeah. Prevagen is another we laugh at old westerns where folks lined up by met to buy magic elixirs from the back of stagecoaches not much has changed
Starting point is 00:38:13 trump takes that doesn't he idiocracy was basically a fucking documentary as far as i'm concerned yeah no it's true we used to laugh about it but, it's just kind of the way it is now. If you think about it. Well, we'll go over to Fox here. Oh yeah. Give me the good shit. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:32 Monster Depot three 11 says, uh, yeah, better names, better names over here. Enter email to read articles. Anyone else have access to various articles without entering an email? MD Sooner says, I noticed that too.
Starting point is 00:38:49 I haven't complied yet. And not. I will not comply. Brother, you're on the wrong website. You haven't found your website yet. There's people for you. It's not Fox News. You got to go further to the right.
Starting point is 00:39:04 No, this guy used to be in a telegram group telegram group exactly rumble rumble there's like different yeah telegram group is is really that's as far as you could go but yeah there's people who think and talk like you all the time but yeah you're on the wrong side and this guy goes i am not they are just losing my traffic so you don't want you just lost. You just lost yourself a customer yelling over the chorus. Yeah, this fucking Fox. You're talking to Fox, man. They know they're doing all right, and they will always do all right until they decide to stop.
Starting point is 00:39:41 You just lost my traffic. I have that is I just lost my traffic i have that is i just lost my traffic not even my not even my business because they recognize that they're not paying any money you just lost my traffic yeah kitty bookcase says super annoying not giving my email guess i'll look elsewhere for news did they not know the concept of just making an email? Like you can just make. You type something. For most of them, yes.
Starting point is 00:40:10 But even if you have to like do a verification thing, just make quickly, make an email on one of those proton mail things that they all use or whatever. Just make one for it and sign up using that one and don't use it for anything else. There you go. Well, this guy says i agree 100 i just skip over those articles fox has changed quite a bit over the years so i find myself
Starting point is 00:40:31 visiting less and less yeah i hate change i mean that i hate progressive change why that makes sense that makes sense that a fox newsreader it hasn't no it hasn't changed the thing it actually hasn't yeah this person says find it pretty annoying are they selling our email address to advertisers yes yes they are yes they are poster replies and goes probably all they're getting from me is less traffic on the site oh i forgot this guy's traffic wasn't gonna be here anymore it's good that he reiterated that someone calls him and they're like hi we noticed you're not giving us any traffic uh we're just trying to figure out how we could get your traffic back
Starting point is 00:41:24 calling them and uh this guy says uh i also skip over the article and usually find it someplace else hold firm guys yeah so you're finding the news elsewhere is what you're saying you're googling oh yeah something happened here and you found it i got some more fox stuff here let me get a i uh i because i got some from fox some from c CNN and some from MSNBC and the Fox news ones. I mean, they're just like mean, you know what I mean? There's less,
Starting point is 00:41:53 it's less fun. How about this? This is a good one for us. This is from lickety clit 69. Oh, what the fuck? Is that allowed? Like you could just.
Starting point is 00:42:03 Yeah. That's actually a disgusting thing. That's coming from me, who again, our first episode we did, Sarah, was Sex Guys, where we did about swingers and stuff. So we'll watch them on stream. We'll do
Starting point is 00:42:17 tours of sex clubs and stuff. But that one really was really nasty, man. It was kind of nasty I think Yeah Gutfeld Are you really paying this hack to host an hour show? If so why? Pointless fodder
Starting point is 00:42:34 Okay we got again So on the Patreon of this very Podcast We do a series which we'll be Recording one tomorrow I think But that already happened. But we do Gut Shot, where we watch an episode of Gutfeld's show. It's kind of a comedy show.
Starting point is 00:42:52 You know I've gone to Gutfeld. What? I've gone to Gutfeld Live. Is there an applause for me? I wrote about it at Gawker a couple years ago now. It was so weird. It's a weird experience that's incredible sarah that you wrote about gotfeld for a publication that was sued by hulk hogan
Starting point is 00:43:16 for bubba the love sponge's sex tape because we also are obsessed with buba the Love Sponge on this channel. Gutfeld was sick. Okay. I love him. Yeah. Listen, first off, we didn't even realize he's like, until recently, we didn't realize he's like five foot four. Like he's like so tiny, which is awesome. And so what's it like? Can we, do you mind if we.
Starting point is 00:43:44 Oh my God. I could talk about Gutfeld all day. I'll try and keep it brief. Okay, everyone that's there is like someone who's like, I'm visiting, everyone in the audience was a visitor to New York who was like, I want to see something live. That's what we thought.
Starting point is 00:43:59 And that's why no one laughs at anything because no one knows what's happening. Yes, that's what we thought and we saw like so so who was who was on the panel when you uh it was like it was ty it was a tyrus uh tyrus wasn't there but it was like uh that vivek guy was uh there and this was like before i knew anything about him this is like when he just had written a book about Woke Inc. or whatever. Yeah. It was just like... So the craziest part
Starting point is 00:44:30 is that his producer that warmed up the crowd had so much self-hatred and it was like not making us excited. He was doing a little stand-up routine and it was very clear that he moved to New York for a dream to become something and he ended up doing this and he kept kind of
Starting point is 00:44:49 like being like yeah well I'm not really anything and you're like wait what like it's like I want to like you can say that a couple of times and also not when you're warming an audience up there's no there was no rhythm to anything that happened and it was like really clear no one knew what the joke was yeah like you know and it was like bad vibes outside of it the content it was like a very like bad experience as far as but which made it amazing obviously yeah of course it's like you're in like a vibeless room where the audience doesn't understand what's going on other than that like oh this is like a coastal elite who's on our side like that was the energy and it was how many how long are you there how long does the taping take it's like pretty quick actually like from getting into line to being in like the
Starting point is 00:45:46 weird fox news basement green room to going and sitting that's probably like a couple hours so where and where is it in it's like yeah it's like just like right where all the studios are this is like the main fox brian brian we gotta go you have to go to new york and go to gunfell and we honestly should go to it for real. Because we got to meet in America. I can't work there, but I can just come hang out and do stuff. Oh, you got to go. It's so weird.
Starting point is 00:46:14 That is incredible. We had Ike Barinholtz, who had been on Man Cow. And Man Cow is another person that we're obsessed with here um it's always fun to hear i need to i i wish somebody would ask him why he doesn't have an applause sign that is i don't i don't know either because like they they kept being like you know when you see something that's live to tape you're kind of like it's like okay and like they tell you how to like they're like their mics here so like laugh as loud as you can like but there's no real sign of what a joke is because also there aren't really any jokes because like joe biden's not really that funny like there's just like nothing that they're saying is there's like stuff to cheer for maybe there's stuff to be
Starting point is 00:47:00 like yeah i agree but there's not really stuff to laugh at. And then it's like, you know, when they have like the words like pronouns or whatever, then everyone knows like, oh, I laugh, pronoun, laugh. Yeah. Yeah. They hit on those ones a lot. Definitely. Like we noticed those are the only times when they really do sort of get a laugh or whatever. I think it's because there's nothing like people on the left are also making fun of the same thing so there's no real like community joke yeah i agree with that build uh they can't build a sense
Starting point is 00:47:35 of humor around the way people did around trump because trump was actually like funny and like greg gutfield is also not um funny at all either it's not funny he's not so he doesn't like understand the rhythm of a joke and that's like it's so painful in person that like i felt like laughing the hardest sometimes well that's what i would do i would i mean i'll almost certainly i would get myself kicked out of it. The taping, I would imagine for just laughing uproariously at every single attempt of a joke. I would just like go crazy. It's terrifying.
Starting point is 00:48:13 It's a, it's a, and he's like, and then he'll be like, oh, you guys can get that one. Oh, I know. And you're like, no one, I'm here and I, and I'm not sure when the punchline is. Yeah. i'm here and i and i'm not sure when the punch line is yeah we were that's why we like we watch like a segment of the show and just we pick it at random and just watch a segment of the mesmerizing it's met it's really hard to to not be obsessed with it well g vuio says what's more amazing is that one of his prominent commentators is Tyrus, a professional wrestler who frequently
Starting point is 00:48:48 carries a wrestling belt on air. Why have a qualified on-air personality when you can have somebody like him? Gutfeld also has Kat Timp on with him. She has the personality of a cadaver and is engaging as plain jello.
Starting point is 00:49:04 I don't... I've never heard that saying but if he's saying she's not very engaging i would agree with that i would also agree there's no plain jello no jello has to have a flavor and like he just thought gelatin so yeah tyrus first off tyrus doesn't carry the belt around anymore because he lost it. And he's no longer the heavyweight champion of NWA because he's actually can't wrestle anymore at all because he's so out of shape that he can't move anymore. Yeah. And he lost to EC3. And, you know, like I said, you can find multiple videos of him being winded one minute into a match.
Starting point is 00:49:44 Sarah, you ever seen AEW? Shut up. Sadly, I know what that is, yeah. Yeah, I know, but it's great. It was great. Do you know who the devil is? Because that's what everybody's talking about. By the time this comes out, we might know who the devil is. Yeah, it's this big storyline in wrestling.
Starting point is 00:50:03 It's taking the wrestling industry by storm. They have this masked guy called the devil. Nobody knows who it is. AEW, I'm big into the old school territory stuff and sort of respect the old school wrestling. Brian likes the new AEW Bulls champ. An hour with these three, plus whichever D-listers Gutfeld can find to engage in a right-wing banter, is an hour wasted.
Starting point is 00:50:28 After a few minutes of mistakenly watching this garbage, you quickly realize that Fox would be better off not being on the air for this time slot. Oh, just take it off the air completely. I mean, I think they would put another show in. Like, I don't know. I think you would use all show in uh like i don't know i think you would use all of your time up personally but also you got to remember that uh the head writer is nicky dip nicky dip nicky dipolo why do i know that name oh he's one of the most famous um professional stand-up comedians of all time.
Starting point is 00:51:12 Listen, he was actually a very respected in stand-up comedy before. And then he, like so many with this culture war stuff, he just absolutely bit it where he's just like, this is all he can talk about. He's gotten very old. I mean, I just remember we watched his special. And at the end of it, he ironically thanked all of the servicemen. And then Donald Trump, like at the end of his special, he's become this like really sort of insufferable old crank.
Starting point is 00:51:40 He was always kind of a cranky sort of guy. But if you looked him up you would you might recognize his he was on like louis and you know he's like a new york yeah i mean it is i think the thing about gutfeld is that like he doesn't like say what you want about any late night host they understand how to tell a joke and he just doesn't have the experience of being because he also wasn't like this for a very long time you know it's like a fairly recent pivot in his career to be this guy and it it shows in person like it really shows he's really bad at he has he has no what it is is that like everything has this like the way he says it is like it sounds all very confrontational in this
Starting point is 00:52:25 like weird way where he's just like saying it like yeah and that's the way it was yeah like you know like everything has this like mean kind of like that just yeah it doesn't go with some stuff it works with but some stuff it doesn't and he just uses that same cadence delivering every single thing yeah that's like you exactly it yeah you have to change your cadence you have to change your delivery sometimes and he just doesn't get that at all and it's like so hard to watch i can imagine for a whole show like hearing him in person for a full show speaking like that i would just drive me oh and he loves loves classic rock he loves rock music you know and you know like he like well like air guitar during little breaks and his
Starting point is 00:53:06 producers like always air guitar into ac dc it was like so bad also they are always hiring they're always there there's always a gutfeld writer job available chris i can't i can't work in america i don't have a ua visa i mean, I think if they looked into my work, they probably would not hire me. Start your pivot. Now your pivot and work your way in. Just start like completely destroy my public image. And in order to possibly get a writing job on.
Starting point is 00:53:44 Yeah. I mean, Hey, I got a child coming very soon so that seems like a pretty good life decision would be such a good like if it works you know like you're set for life and my kid is just like then daddy's a writer on god it's gonna be proud of you forever introduced that my my son to cat timp yeah you know great she's a celebrity well this this person replied i gotta tell you he might be his name might be greg g but he goes by active mud 7279 goes really he has better ratings than anyone else on tv in that time slot his show has three times the viewership of the late night shows at 10 of the production costs i don't have something to say about this well it's a okay well it's not a lie his show is actually number one but it's because there's no
Starting point is 00:54:37 one else and this isn't a compliment there's no one else doing what he does in the conservative space and there's like four different late night shows that are doing the exact same thing like of course all these people watch fox news all day and don't use the internet and just have it on we'll be watching gut felt like it's not there's nothing else for them to do they also don't look at i've said this before when when they say highest rated they mean total viewers but that are you are you telling me that the gottfeld show has higher ratings than like i don't know what are the other ones yes it literally it genuinely does have it has higher than like uh jimmy kimmel or fowler frequently one of the top absolute top late night television
Starting point is 00:55:26 programs and the reason i think is like that is so wild because that is such an indictment on like conservative viewers because to me it just yeah it shows that like they don't have any like there's no need for any level of quality or anything like that. Like they don't care because they exist. Yeah, exactly. Because they should. If that's the case, like you guys could get a better one. I promise you there are funny. People say there's no funny conservative people.
Starting point is 00:55:54 There are funny conservative people. And there are funny people who are in that space that I despise and would probably want to punch if I saw. But I promise you they'll put on a better fucking show than Greg Gottfeld. Well, you know, so it's weird that they don't demand that. He goes, his is one of the most popular shows in the entire cable news business, and you suggest he be retired from his slot.
Starting point is 00:56:16 Guy goes, did you read your comments? The show was awful. And then the guy responds to him and says, question your taste taste eat poop much okay got his ass yeah no coming back from that that's the end of that thread eat poop much loser uh this is from msnbc and uh they go, Stephanie R., which I believe is Stephanie Rule. R-U-H-E-R. Well, you don't need to say people's full names.
Starting point is 00:56:49 No, no, no. It's just a personality. Oh, okay. I thought it was just a private citizen. No, no, no. She's a personality. And it says, Stephanie R. She just blew her nose on air.
Starting point is 00:57:00 I'm only listening. No vid. Using TuneIn app. That was gross. That is gross. And that is gross. Yeah, that's not that's unprofessional. I know somebody who used to burp and do all kinds of things into the mic and a certain person who may or may not follow you, Brian. Opie.
Starting point is 00:57:20 And also the old story. Obster used to love to belch into the mic. Which is so cool. That's why I quit drinking carbonated drinks when I podcast, because I was doing that a lot for a period of time. That's why I drink this tea. If I was a shock jock, I would be burping. Yeah. It was a thing, I think, in the early days of shock jocks, because it was a bodily function. It was just like everything was shocking. But I think after a while, it was kind of like shock jocks because it was a bodily function it was just like everything was shocking
Starting point is 00:57:45 but i think after a while it was kind of like okay that's just a gross thing to do you know that's just but i guess if you're a shock jock you're trying to gross people out one more reply uh what the fuck is wrong with these people hey karen wants to speak to the manager so so because they want to i mean what's a forum i mean i don't know that i don't know that you can really say like a forum that's meant to discuss the programming you know it's like oh would you like to speak to the man no they're that's where they're supposed to be doing this it's also an event going to fox news they're not going to them and asking them to do this they're just saying it in their community somebody blowing their nose on tv really is kind of an event because you don't see stuff like that no it's very human it's a very
Starting point is 00:58:30 human thing to do oh yeah i don't want to see it yeah i don't want to see it but it is you're right it is sort of remind you that they're human it is nice to have those moments from the newscasters every now and then just to remind the collective conscious that hey these are human beings as well that are delivering i don't like that i don't like that part okay you guys you guys hate that okay there's a big huge they're not people yeah we don't want to think of them as people we want cronkite you know yeah old school this person uh this is very recent news this is five hours ago new cnbc looks sucks yellow text for a stock ticker on tv who can read that pepto bismal colored charts what a clown show so yeah well hey listen that can be an issue i think sometimes they have to work those run them through a couple of times
Starting point is 00:59:20 you know figure out what the right colors are but i mean pepto bismol color it's a bright pink doesn't seem good for on screen difficult falcon 9038 said uh agree new look was designed by a fool there was no need to change i only watch cnbc because of the dual ticker crawlers now they took away that and blind you with huge amount of white space and tiny fonts almost totally unreadable with the gold font color what they had before was very easy to read this you know why you're taking you know i'm just realizing because they just have this shit on all day yeah so it's just sitting there wherever they are so it's like the aesthetic is the most important thing like how it sort of looks and how it flows on the screen and i didn't know it's there you know i didn't know cnbc had like
Starting point is 01:00:10 i thought i really saw it as like the money one i think oh yeah they are it is the money one yeah i think it is those dual tickers are they're all money related i'm thinking one of them is the market one of them is the freaking you know some them is the freaking, you know, some other thing. Market is the only thing I can think of. Well, this guy does have a theory on it. He goes, typical change for change's sake and a huge move backwards. Guess they hired a narcissistic graphics person who knew what was best for us. That's okay.
Starting point is 01:00:44 Possibly. Maybe they're just trying something new. Maybe it was a team as well i don't know maybe it was though yeah maybe it was one person who came in and was really full of themselves well here's somebody that has another theory absolutely unbelievable and unwatchable i just figured out where the Bud Light advertising executives went when they got fired. Oh, shit. Got their ass. That's good, yeah. Bud Light!
Starting point is 01:01:14 It's weird. So they're advertising executives, but now they sort of moved over into designing. I guess they had to change jobs. It sort of still makes sense, I guess. They got fired because of the Bud Light controversy, and they got one more shot to make choices. But it wasn't in advertising.
Starting point is 01:01:32 But it still is a funny joke, though. I still do like it. There's a little more on the new ticker. The new ticker that started today is awful. You can't even see the green and orange colors. Also, they got rid of the news ticker before 8 a.m. Please, CNBC, go back to the old look there was nothing wrong with it uh nosa j game says uh it looks awful then john replies i sent cnbc my feedback um and this guy goes me too change the channel to Fox Business. CNBC now. Unwatchable. Pity. Can I do a joke?
Starting point is 01:02:06 Yeah. Last time I saw someone so upset with a new ticker, it was when my dad rejected his heart transplant.
Starting point is 01:02:21 Thank you. We need a sound drop. thanks for letting me do my joke here's another here's another good description of what happened when this person saw it you remember the end of the truman show people no i don't i don't it was an old film i watched it when it came out but i've seen so many things since do you remember the end oh oh i do i do when he gets to the edge of the thing and any and he hits the edge and there's the door there yeah yes okay i do i do i do sorry because people have been watching continuously for 27 odd years and then truman leaves the show is over and the people that had been watching day and night for all those
Starting point is 01:03:02 years say okay what else is on that's me today because of your new format and the elimination of cool stickers i've changed the channel that's like surprisingly so deep like that honestly that is that is the same thing that is literally the same thing it's this is the best one you've read because it speaks to you know you can you could change your mind at any second and stop being loyal when you know the news changes yeah it's kind of it's kind of interesting and they and they told us the whole thing about the truman show at the beginning and i don't really i'm not really clear on that exactly but all the people watching the truman like you know how you see all the people watching the show and their reactions what's going on and they just it ends
Starting point is 01:03:49 and then they're like all right okay i guess i'm gonna change the channel like they're basically saying that like that's that's how fickle that's how that's how we are and i am one of those people and you can lose us that quickly if you make decisions like that, that we don't mind just turning over to a, you're right, this is actually very brilliant. Threatening. Genius. And it almost shows a little bit of self, it shows a little bit of what you want, that you understand that like, this is just a TV show that I'm watching now. Yeah, this person's very self-aware as well this person is dangerous you know what i mean if you're if they if they will if this in a in a debate or anything like
Starting point is 01:04:33 this is a dangerous individual yeah this is a smart guy this person says uh i could get on board with the overall cleaner look it's the color palette that offends fuchsia and mint guy replies and goes colors come across as garish i hate the new look the original i love this i love it like like garish like me i don't i know i don't want to be rude to you if you listen to this podcast and you say words like garish you know what i mean but like i don't know just the idea of those kind of people who say like oh this is garish you know strongly enough about the cnbc colors and calling it garish also it it is like such an interesting look at their minds because you're like oh this is what is
Starting point is 01:05:19 bothering you like it's still the exact same information but like the security of the familiarity you have of watching this i'm guessing like 10 hours a day. Yeah. It's like it's it is very effective. You glance over and it doesn't look the same when you glance over at it. And that's what you're really upset by. It's that hum, the hum of this is really what keeps them going all day. And I don't think that they care what's on it or what the people are talking about really
Starting point is 01:05:45 all that much unless it's something that you know makes unless it's unless they i mean if they had donald trump on well yeah then it would be a problem well the original poster does say hope they consider and go back to the old format from 8 a.m to 9 30 a.m they only show percentages up or down no points or dollars they've removed stuff that they and they have the audacity to announce that more info is now being shown absolute moronic decision making i'll be switching to bloomberg so oh wait i forgot about bloomberg i didn't look into bloomberg i totally forgot about it he's like that that network is kind of like the Bloomberg of the election. I think Bloomberg is for real finance people. Like they're the ones who are like, I'm watching that in my office, you know, on the TV screen in my office.
Starting point is 01:06:37 Yeah. Well, let's look at just a little Morning Joe. I went to the Morning Joe subreddit, which you'd be surprised that there is one. But boy, did they piss off Wilton C. He goes, fantasy football? Seriously? They spent a whole segment this morning on fantasy football? They even brought in a quote expert. I didn't think something more useless than Premier League football could be covered. I was wrong. So Joe apparently, well, I'll actually read you this guy's post to explain the Premier League thing. River Oaks J says,
Starting point is 01:07:14 Joe's considered to be an expert on Red Sox baseball and the English Premier League. The teams are owned by a friend of Barnacle's. He gives Joe his tickets. Mika and Joe filmed a few episodes at fenway park during the red sox 2013 world series run joe's advice to manager john farrell help the team win the world series so that's why it's important that joe talks about fantasy sports shut up man there's like real experts you know i don't know anything that
Starting point is 01:07:48 much you know like i couldn't i couldn't like give this information on anything i watch no no that's that's a good that's what we learn when we do guys that's what we always say is that that's good if it's good to be a lot of different guys and not good to be only one guy that's what we always say is that that's good if it's good to be a lot of different guys and not good to be only one guy that's true yeah that's the big thing so if you have exactly it yeah if you have so much knowledge on it or whatever that's become you know you don't want to dedicate your life entirely to anything no period in my opinion yeah i think this will be our last one this is for for Morning Joe. Another Monday, another Monday off for Joe, Mika, and Willie. I know it's a four-hour show, but let's be real,
Starting point is 01:08:36 the third hour is basically just a replay in the last hour entertainment. Not that I have a problem really with either of those things. Point being is they think they're such hard workers. It's cool they take so many fucking random days off or more than they just don't give a shit about their faithful viewers and know they can do whatever they want at the network honestly i used to just joke about it to myself but i think i'm actually pissed off right this guy this guy started doing a bit and then he like got too into it and he like actually got mad and now he's like you know what i'm fucking actually pissed about this fuck them it was probably a hard work day or whatever you know i mean he probably has like a proper job where he actually works hard or whatever right and he goes jesus fucking christ he goes on these motherfuckers i know lamar is fine and i have others other weather frequent
Starting point is 01:09:23 guests or whatever have interesting discussions but still i do watch the show for the main three even if they drive me crazy sometimes when they're on so uh then they uh they saw donnie deutsch oh donnie he's a money guy right and he was hosting this morning and uh this guy goes boy donnie deutsch is pissed and uh now they're in like a whole thing why is like this is how when is this today uh no this is a while ago but they're they're saying that donnie deutsch has to host the show today so he's pissed as if they don't actually like know that he's probably very happy to host the show yeah i don't think that's how it works i don't think of people are really like i think he's probably said one little joke on the air about having to like do it and this person thinks it's every it's all real i also i i can't really wrap my head around the fact that it's four hours long every day yeah
Starting point is 01:10:27 that's that's radio shit that's a lot of time imagine watching it for even an hour like i even think like an hour of that would be so much for me and i'll say this I went through a period where I watched the primetime news on MSNBC sometimes. You know, like, I don't know if I was necessary. I thought I was getting politics. I didn't think I was watching TV. You know, I think a lot. I think the more I learned about these guys is that I don't even think I don't even think they have politics. It's just a show to put on tv they
Starting point is 01:11:08 have favorites that none of them believe in anything yeah they don't believe anything other than their team like they have that real tribalism for sure like you know we are the democrats they are the republicans or whatever in canada conservatives and liberals but like yeah they don't really yeah you see it when things i'm sure they're like friendly with fox news people and stuff like i'm sure there's like a level of you know we all have the same job camaraderie they have people have made the switch from like fox to cnn and it's not like they there's like some political epiphany they had it's just like it's a job right yeah totally totally
Starting point is 01:11:46 this guy goes uh he's always been their punching bag remember when they used to make fun of his tight european shirts he switched to jackets and ties just to stop them from introducing the shirts first time he would come on so uh chris dotty deutsch has been christen Chris Yeah that's a Prank that I used to do Calling a guy we don't want to Yeah that calling guy and just Saying the word shirt over and over again For years and years and years When this episode comes out
Starting point is 01:12:16 Most likely yeah that I Will not be doing Eddie As anymore and if I changed my mind Then ignore this And I'm still doing it um so yeah there's a few more like joe and mika goes maybe joe and mika are having a let's see who can work the least and still get paid contest with howard stern oh oh that's another one of our guys yeah and this lady goes uh well i hope they're not in couples therapy, which who cares if they're in couples therapy?
Starting point is 01:12:45 Oh, oh, oh, I hate this. Sorry, that's Howard Stern's take on that. Did you know it was them? No, we should end. Well, you had MDJ, our last guy here, talking about the several days off Joe and Mika take. He goes, actually, I watch mainly for the superb supporting cast and love when they get to speak in complete sentences without joe burning through another hour which this guy seems like he wants to not let joe rip i would kind of think would be kind of cool on
Starting point is 01:13:15 morning joe is like why don't we let some of those fucking producers get on i think they deserve a shot and i And you know, who knows what they're going to bring to the table? Oh man. Just let them debate. I want Joe. I want to see Joe. Premier league football.
Starting point is 01:13:33 I want to see premier league football debates between Joe and a random guy who holds a camera. Nobody wants that Chris. You know, nobody wants that crap. They want to hear the news, the hard news. Joe once gave the coach of the Red Sox some
Starting point is 01:13:50 tips in order for him to win the World Series. You guys are not treating Joe Scarborough with the amount of respect that he deserves. Well, that is it for Cable News, guys.
