ourselves on the back you know yes uh so Cory how was your week this week I mean
it was fine there wasn't anything too out of the ordinary yeah
anything unusual happen to you well I mean it was a good week a busy week at
work because we're building up to the holiday party and you know just trying
to keep things for oh I got hit by a car on Friday that also haven't you got hit
by a car you say I got hit by a car and he's alive to tell the story ladies and
gents yes so luckily it wasn't a freeway speed I wasn't trying to Frogger my way
across the highway at all you weren't getting out of your car to examine a
small bit of damage on your in the middle of the freeway and then get
clipped by something no no I was walking home from the bus that I used to take
for a home from work and some interesting things happened I made a
right and followed my normal way home which is to for anyone who's familiar
with the downtown area make a right walk down first Street down the hill
make a right on Fremont and then cross diamond that's how I welcomed and I was
crossing in front of the police state or the fire station
yep and then moving across Diamond Street and a gentleman also followed my
same path where he was turning right off of first Street and then was gonna turn
right onto Diamond Street probably too good to Figueroa yes yeah so the thing
that I did was just before crossing diamond I stopped I looked left and
right to assure that there was no oncoming traffic mm-hmm and then I began
walking right as people usually do yes society this was the fatal flaw of the
gentleman is that he did not in fact do that so there was no pause there was no
nothing there was a slowdown to manage the curve not to manage the man in the
crosswalk who he slammed into with the left front of his vehicle now to his
credit he stopped the car he got out looking at me over his driver side door
yeah waited for me to stand and maneuver my way out of his the front of his car
yeah before speeding off and leave side of the road so it was it was an
amazing experience I don't know I it's the kind of thing we're like a joke
Dylan on social media and said you know check that off the bucket list hit by a
car yeah but it's the kind of thing we're like you ever know what its gonna
be like right like you hear stories and things happen and God what do it's like
to get hit by a car number one it's not fun yeah I would say this is this would
be low-end on getting hit by a car - yeah yeah me i me low on the low on the
spectrum of getting hit by the car he was had to be doing less than 15 miles
an hour in order to navigate that curve and my guess would be that he was
breaking further and hopefully he hit the brake when he saw me he had yeah you
know something low speed 10 miles an hour or less a friend of mine on
Facebook joked like Oh does your shoes come off but I can tell you that laying
on the pavement there waiting mm-hmm I get why these shoes fall off I was doing
like a mental int like inventory of like what just happened yeah trying to
analyze cuz also by the way it happens very fast yeah we have no idea it's like
boob dink and you're on the ground like oh shit what the fuck but I remember my
feet like the whole sprained ankle thing came from me clawing at the ground to
try and uh like get my balance again yeah and like my feet leaving the ground
and as I laid there I was thinking like I could feel like the g-forces on the
bottom of my feet right and what would I have done if I lost this black shoe a
black on black Nike shoe at night with no street lights just walk home with
just my sock like yeah I don't know this is end of the road um I'll have to get
new shoes now yes yes I'll get new shoes so well yeah we you know it's an
interesting experience and i sat there on the side of the road for a minute and
got my bearings and it's the kind of thing where they good check it off the
bucket list I got hit by car and could have been much worse sprained ankle and
a couple of scrapes and bruises otherwise okay I always worry about that
intersection even during the day yeah because like I mean most most days when
I go to lunch I go that way to get towards wherever I'm going yeah and I
find that when I'm crossing Dimond it's like a little bit wider than the normal
Street yeah but it's also like a let's move quickly through this area like
there's like sort of like stop tional stop signs there yes like because
Piedmont doesn't have a lot of traffic right on the other portion where yeah
yeah yeah but whenever I'm walking there at lunch like I always seem to like
start to walk into the intersection just as a car pulls up and I'm just like are
they gonna even stop like yeah sometimes I got the headphones in and I'm just
like I think there's that but I think they're saying I hope there's nothing
but yeah it's a that's scary i we were all worried about you when you got home
because we were worried you might have like weird and internal injuries yes I
seem to be okay however if I died suddenly in the next 7 days we'll just
chalk it up to the car axle it's like a I was telling my mom like I don't like
everyone in my family doesn't like to worry people yeah like when there's some
major medical thing going on so we like usually downplay it a little bit right
but I like to say that the the one person who gets all of my complaints
about anything that's wrong with me is Rachel yeah because I just at least want
one person to know his back just hurtin for a couple days and also if I if I was
just like if all day I'm complaining about my ankle like my ankle really
hurts it hurts real bad and then she comes home and finds me like passed out
in the middle of the living room and she calls the emergency I want her to be
able to say like well he was complaining about his ankle I don't think that has
anything to do with okay I don't know just put it out there in the universe
maybe it's some sort of weird form of heart and the ankle both connected he
was grabbing his shoulder I did anything to do he grabbed his chest and went on
my heart but he was complaining about his ankles oh my nothing to do with him
I'd like you to not be so dismissive about by his ankle I think that might be
part of the game it works itself in somehow but uh one thing I'll say is
that it's you're put to the test I have said many times before that I will not
call the police for anything hmm I call them only when I need something
that only they can provide for instance I'm gonna get in an accident yeah you
need a police report I'm gonna make it claim to my insurance I cannot pay for
this $30,000 in damages myself this requires insurance this also
wires be getting a police report for my insurance all right must call them yeah
sure I'm gonna give them as little information as possible let's get this
fucking report and get out of here let's do that right but you know you get hit
by a car and the guy drives off and instinctually I'm like taking down
details and I'm sending text messages like oh it's a you know this kind of
person this Aves this height here's part a partial plate and a make and model and
like I'm just in the zone but then I'm we get home and I'm like you know what
let's uh we don't need to do that it's a person of color and I don't want
somebody getting shot because they run from the cops about a hit and run on my
account when I'm fine for the most part uh you know it's I've good insurance so
even if something had been wrong I could go to the hospital I could pay for
myself it's I feel like I feel like it's not it's not wrong that you don't want
to press charges but I think that there should be some
sort of punishment that's allowed to be served like what well I mean like I feel
like in a situation like that like you just got hit by a car you're in front of
the car he like looks up and over you should be able to like look up at him
and just be like listen I'm not gonna press charges but I'm a punch really
hard in the face right now yeah you know but he's also it was an awesome older
guy and like I still think of myself it means we're gonna we're gonna we're
gonna call this straight as long as I punch you really fucking hard in the
face I'm hitting me with the car I'm honestly okay with like the Wild West
rules which was basically that it was like you've offended me or hurt harm to
me in some way we can even this up right now
and let's not get the law involved at all right or I've been playing a lot of
Red Dead Redemption to shoot him one of those two I mean you could just know my
good guy rating is like xed out on good guy rating I don't shoot anybody like
they shoot me and I ride away that's how good of a guy I am and some people just
murder like Rob when he when he's done with this game like when he's completed
100% of the task yes and then you go and you're going back and doing it all
they're gonna do a black head style I'm gonna pop up on the first stage is the
first thing I'm saying the first person Wow all right oh I got a bouncy now good
for you pal all right yeah fuck everybody there are a couple missions
where like it's basically like it doesn't impact your good guy or bad guy
rating yeah because the mission is you have to escape with your life and that
requires just shooting everybody and I do take a special pleasure in those
missions where it's just like I'm on Deadeye it's a ding ding ding ding ding
ding ding ding and it's 14 rounds in the Lancaster repeater and just like tag 14
people and if that is pow pow pow pow pow everybody's down it's a special
pleasure I'm gonna enjoy that a lot when I do the blackhat but naturally yeah
wait hat so you know you say that I got hit by a car I don't think see that's
something like living by your morals this is what I keep telling these kids
that I work with I'm like listen you have to live you have to have a code and
you live by it and you don't just live by it when it's convenient it's it's
easy for me to say hey like I will go out and polish all I can think about is
bunk which is going like a man must have a code right hey I don't mean like in a
way of oh what's that Omar Omar yes I mean that's a thing like
Omar live by a code and you didn't have to agree with it but it made sense to
him yeah so it makes sense to me I'm gonna live by the same code and I think
that this is a good example to them of living by a code my code is you do not
call the police for anything I got hit by a car unless it's going to to general
impact you personally I mean an egg unless there's no other choice and by
the way it doesn't involve somebody else yeah like property crime my car got
broken into right I filed a report to try and get the insurance to cover what
was stolen out of the car I could give them no description of the person I
could give them no description of anything at all just hey my car got
broken into I need your police report number yeah that's it good fantastic I'm
finally doing that and you know those kind of things might be good because it
keeps them keeps LAPD off the street from maybe shooting or maybe doing
something yeah yeah or like the Baltimore Police the guy just sitting in
the parking lot of the mall where he can't see any of the stores like yeah
that's good ot right there that's good øt um but yet now I live by your code my
code is I never called the police and I don't call the police that's it and
sometimes that decisions difficult like when you're laying on the pavement
saying what fuck what the fuck and by the way that was the first thing I said
I hit the ground I rolled over to my side I looked over my shoulder at the
front lights of the cars and what the fuck as if the car was sentient and it
was the car itself AC but I feel like I get that a lot with just like a lot of
times when I'm walking around downtown like somebody wants to try and make a
right before people start crossing yeah so like you know like the it goes green
the same moment that the light change or that the crosswalk light changes
somebody know people are gonna start going yeah so you see one person like
making a super-wide right into the middle of the whole thing like just to
avoid people and you see all the people in the cross arms just going like what
the fuck bro you can't wait two minutes for it to clear you can't wait for the
next light yes oh yeah yeah especially well now I hate them because I commute
via public transportation most the time which I do a lot of walking and I also
have become conscious of the fact that I come in hard to read lights mmm and how
come consciously that makes me feel like I'm gonna get hit by a car and hopefully
now ever so much so ever so much so getting feared getting hit by car but as
you can see queries also distracted by something off to his right well I think
it's time that we meander over into a sports ball corner
oh wait we gotta go wait yeah
he distracted me during the night as I was gonna serious off my question yes so
um we are currently watching Red Dawn yep and if i read zen with the two game
are these the only two games going on right now
yeah there's only two late games okay because they had to Saturday game oh
that's right yeah well I'll get hit by a car I didn't do any of my fantasy
basically whatever I had on Thursday with what I rolled with yeah for the
whole weekend so I'm hoping that most of the team filled out it seems to be going
okay based on the alerts and it also helps when your opponent only puts up 30
points and but if she has some point she has the players on Monday so we'll see a
Carson Wentz list Philadelphia Eagles so that's tonight is that tonight yeah a
game tonight okay Oh our late game this is the 4 o'clock games yeah there's a
one o'clock games right right anyway uh so sports ball uh Ravens played this
morning though yes and how did that go for the autumn or
Football Club they were victorious 22:12 yes have books I I watched that
one on red zone like I've sort of I also slept for most of the first half which
apparently is for the best because it was really wet and like not very
inspired football was being played yes in the earlier part of the game but I
I'm so torn with Lamar right now because I love it I love how like this team is
playing right now and I think that it's it's inspired and it's like it feels
like a new thing like a brand new thing like believe you got a car like you had
a stupid beat-up car forever yeah and then you've got a brand-new car yeah and
maybe it's the same exact model car like maybe you got a 20 you know 18 cruise
instead of your your old one but I was saying like the new one just feel like
you're just like oh it's all new it's all fancy so special
and maybe it doesn't do things the way your old car did but it's also doing new
things your old car never did as well you know right so it's like a mix of all
these all these fun emotions but I still can't help but feel like we're gonna get
fucking to the playoffs we're gonna have a first round game against the you know
chargers or whatever and then all of a sudden that's when Lamar Jackson is
completely and totally exposed okay and he's throwing five
interceptions because he's trying to fight his way back into a game that he
has no business being in but we do have in those times those games really
fucking bug me like it really bothers me like I've invested all season and like
it seems like this team could figure out some way to like maybe make a Super Bowl
if the right number of things go go go land and then immediately right away is
like the five interception Lamar can't throw but he would have the freedom to
throw five interceptions because I think you have an elite quarterback a so
called itself called elite quarterback on the bench and you just send him in
right and he throws one interception maybe two all right great you throw out
you put in Joe Flacco you let him start using those interceptions to draw some
downfield yeah and then you just go for it go for
the wind through the penalties that's the way to go something tells me this
this Ravens season is gonna end in heartbreak so therefore as a protection
against myself I'm already thinking that it's gonna happen I think this is the
much like we talked about in the beginning of the season when we were
predicting how this football season goes to do acknowledge that there's any any
possibility that I'm going to predict how the Ravens are you know because it
only goes the opposite way of whatever that is if I say like this team is
really good they could go 11 and 5 and maybe win the division that's when they
go one in 15 yeah everybody say this team fucking sucks they're gonna go one
in 15 that's when they go heaven but there's no predicting it so therefore I
am just going to live in the world where we are going to get annihilated in the
first round of the playoffs and hopefully that
reverse jinxes us into idle cess I don't think that there was any way that when
Joe comes back to first week he can that we have any better chance of making the
playoffs or succeeding in the playoffs than we do right now is Lamar Jackson
this team is either going to be good enough to get to the playoffs and
compete or it's not and it doesn't matter whether it was Joe or somebody
else it doesn't matter if it's old Joe Cool or if it's Lamar Jackson the new
hotness if the light best yeah I just it feels like two different things like you
know it's like if I told you to to start throwing the football right-handed and
then halfway through start throwing it left-handed yeah like it the teams feel
different when it's Jo and Lamar right it's a different kind of football
they're doing old Smash Mouth run it football mm-hmm and like ESPN was it but
I mean like I did you like we could still do some of that with I mean like
Gus that's Edwards has been a revelation since coming out you keep saying that
yeah but I'm saying like that that's that hardly happened dirty and Lamar
horrible keeps putting in Lamar for a reason
oh I'm not sit and listen for Jose or for John's sake he should keep putting
in Lamar because his job is going online yeah Joe's gonna get cut at the end of
the year yes like there's no way you're you're bringing him back for another 30
million dollars or whatever but like you Joe's gonna be gone so you might as well
and Gracie ate yourself at the new quarterback and you show like oh this
could be really fun if you bring me back for another year I can I can really look
at what it will have it when I have a full year of Lamar to like practice with
you know like from the beginning from Spring Training when we were getting
getting first team snaps all the way through training camp and stuff like
that right I think that I actually think that John keeps his job now ya know
Lamar has certainly helped that argument I I think I think there is a while there
where it looked like there's no way John's coming back yeah but I think I
think it's like 50/50 right now that he he probably stays and I'm only saying
that because I think that decosta is probably looking at the other coaches in
the league and looking at how many of them just don't know what the fuck
they're doing most of the time and being like we have one of the
I call it 10 best coaches yeah and like why would we just get rid of that like
look look at what look at what that is happening at Oakland like we gotta have
Jon Gruden right now and yeah like we we should just stick with what we have
because it's a known quality Jon Gruden was supposed to be I mean he is a genius
right that's why you went to the booth and then came back to the field
yeah it's like a 10-year contract oh by the way enjoy that one Las Vegas
thank you Tom Brady for making us be Patriots fans and then not being able to
get the job done in pretty typical Brady fashion yeah screw you
yeah but only a plus side Big Ben hopefully put up some fantasy points for
me so I mean the playoffs oh the fantasy fantasy Posse League right now I'm in
the yeah how's that going sorry Rachel just give that one last win
in ya ball of the off season you know I beat her so often I might as well add it
on today I mean what did I say
there you go this guy um yeah so fantasy is uh I guess I probably could have done
a little better this week luckily I think my competition also had an off
week and did not change her it off not mine yes I think here's the problem she
like I checked out once we had qualified for the playoffs yeah I checked back in
on Wednesday to modify my lineup and then just didn't have a chance to do it
again after again I'm getting hit by a car on Friday so I think she just didn't
take that opportunity to join back in and change her lineup because I think
she played somebody who was out and a couple of players who were benched so
but maybe the whens lists Eagles will pull it for her the Nick Foles I don't I
think she's got a receiver and the defense from the from the Eagles that's
not good for her because uh Brandon cooks and Jared Goff of my fantasy team
are going to be yes running roughshod on them all
game on I'm not sure defense Philadelphia defense was a good choice
this week against the mighty LA Rams but then again you know they got they got
completely embarrassed against the Bears the other day said yeah hey comes and
goes by the way did you see that there's a there's a logistic chance that the
Browns could not only win the division but when I get a wild-card spot as well
yeah yeah yeah I mean the division was pretty easy I think they needed the
Steelers to lose today which didn't happen but what was it they if it went
out to right they have to win out including beating the Ravens and week 17
yeah trying to find the exact it was a whole list of like how the how the
Browns could win right the Browns who won eight games in the last four years
before this year less was it really probably yes it hasn't won yeah they
have yeah so this was going into today's today's action Browns can clinch a
wild-card spot if all these things happen
Browns went final two games Ravens lose at least two of final three games
including week 17 verse Cleveland Pittsburgh loses last three games Colts
lose at least two of their final three dolphins lose at least two of their
final three Titans lose two of their final three and the winner of the indeed
Tennessee match must have lost their previous two games okay so that's how
the Browns can make the wild-card but impressive turnaround an organization
that was we won 181 game last year yeah after winning none the season before
they it's gonna I think Baker is gonna be something to reckon with in coming
years and and I think Baker versatile Marge acts and matchups are gonna be
very interesting for the next couple years as a fan of the AFC North you know
the question is what's next for the Steelers cuz Ben's got to be out too
right probably next year I mean Ben might have another year or two left in
him or like a year to where they have him on the roster kind of thing but I
imagine they start transitioning to whoever the next in line will be they'll
probably draft a quarterback at some point here soon yeah
what what what really bothers me about the fucking Steelers is much like the
Yankees where somebody goes down and I'm just like all right let no levian bow
this season great James Conner who and then James Conner is just as good if not
better than you would expect levy on bail to be yeah and then finally James
Conner goes down he gets hurt and you're just like oh thank god
now the Steelers can just peacefully lose the rest of their games and then
whoever the fuck was running for them today was another yeah heavy on bail
again like it might as well have just been levy on bail wearing other people's
jersey maybe was the free agent avión tell what is play for the sea today and
then the other thing too with the Steelers is like every single year they
draft some wide receiver in like the second round that nobody has ever heard
of it it's just like Brian bas cake from acorn state like we're the fuck is acorn
state and then all of a sudden is this like a revelation yeah oh that Wasik
taking over the the Washington guy who I had never heard of before today but is
apparently it had like 90 yards in a touchdown so it's the same thing like
with the juju last year yeah like juju was some you know like taking in the
second round by some no-name college and everyone like looked at it and they're
just like juju who like that's it that seems like a dumb pick from the Steelers
and then they all turn into wonderful like first round first round talents yep
even when they're drafted in the fifth round can we do that can we do that in
Baltimore yes I wish just to have one wide receiver like yes I've maintained
that Joe Flacco and Matt Ryan are the same exact person only that Matt Ryan
has that better quarterbacks this whole time or better wide receivers this whole
time that the row to if we had just like to juice in the Shuster on the Ravens
like I imagine opinions of Joe would have been way different than they are
hasn't Joe appeared in more Super Bowls than that Ryan though no two-to-one no
they're both in one we that's right no I guess we didn't appear I thought we
appeared in lying lost but now Ravens appeared in two Super Bowls but there
was way before tried Dilfer was back in 2000 right right right
mm mm yeah 12 mm-hmm right okay so Matt Ryan and he
had both appeared in the same number of Super Bowls though correct Joe won his
Matt losses not only one but became a Super Bowl MVP yes so I mean it's not
nothing that different know what I'm saying like
Matt Ryan today became the fifth player in his first 10 years in the league to
throw however many yards and so and I'm he's got somebody look at those things
that are just like that really doesn't matter when you have late when you can
literally just like throw the ball in the air as hard as high and far as you
want and then Julio Jones is gonna come down with it on the other end like Roddy
White when they had Julio and Roddy White Lake the best Joe ever had it was
either Bolden or Smith at the end of their career
yeah where they were both fun and acceptable players but they weren't the
type of guys who like I still I feel like the Raven still owe me for like
when I was sitting in the the draft party the inaugural draft party yeah and
I'm like watching the the the ESPN coverage on the screen and I'm just like
we should probably Drive Randy Moss and like it's just like there's 26 picks
that go by and nobody picks there he goes I'm like maybe mom Randy Moss is
the best talent like I almost don't care what he does he yeah but you know what
there's they've also Jose but also been stuck with a lot of dead wood like that
Perryman kid we had to get him and get him out of here and now he's a superstar
for the Cleveland Browns I don't know what it is about Baltimore maybe it's
the constant threat of violence but he will just seem to go somewhere else
loosen up and do well on all sports it's nice it's nice though that a Perryman
has the opportunity to clear his head and go to a new place and become the
blood I always hate like you know like when a team draft when you when you pick
up somebody you're just like all right this is gonna he's gonna be the
superstar and then eventually you're just like alright well I think he just
needs to change the scenery he needs to go somewhere new season and then as soon
as he goes there he becomes the superstar yeah now that I thought for
sure Perryman was gonna be a superstar but I mean like he's that a fine to
games or something like that where he said some traumatic like impossible cat
touchdown catches and then when he was playing with
and seemed like his whole hands were made of brick but I cannot if he had Joe
Flacco throwing to him so maybe that makes all the difference in the world
but uh anyway you know when you'll probably find out is the day after Joe
Flacco was cut yeah cuz then the day usually the day after somebody leaves
town is when you start here and all those like it's much like the like once
the girlfriend breaks up with you is when you say it is little dick
motherfucker that's what you're gonna hear a lot of what Janice is like well
you know he's gonna throw a spiral yes the last four years of his career he
couldn't even throw spirals I don't even know what yet I'm on the team anyway
moving on you wouldn't believe me for it but you're gonna throw me under the bus
like you're trying to believe me but ball comes at you sideways hard to catch
this way yeah just rolling doc into my hands anyway speaking of the other
sports franchise in Baltimore yes the O's have made a couple of changes in the
off season um after about nine different rumors of nine different people who were
gonna come in and manage the team yeah none of which were buck showalter stays
which by the way yeah interesting nobody thought he would be back I mean he
wasn't gonna be back but that makes me sad but anyway the owners have a new
manager Carlos Hyde the former receiver for the San Francisco over running back
for the San Francisco 49ers Brandon Knight Brandon Hyde oh right okay yeah
you know you know what I enjoy most about Brandon IDE I saw the I got an
email from the Orioles when they announced it and they had a picture of
him said like welcome to Berlin and everything like that and I enjoyed that
that this guy looks kind of like me like he's just like a big thick white guy
with a beard and look I look at him and I'm just like alright so maybe I could
still do this maybe I could still be manager of the Orioles sure clearly
they're allowing my type to be also that guy has like 15 years of baseball as a
player it is a coach listen all I gotta do is become real good friends with the
Angeles's and huh yeah and you'll get your appointment just start sneaking my
way in sure backs that Brady along the way
give myself into the front of the line so I feel this Brandon Snider guys not
doing anything to you hide comes from I'm gonna do that a bunch by the way
because there used to be an Orioles farmhand named Brandon Snider and now
I'm gonna keep calling and Brandon Snider instead of Brandon hide much like
by the way I know I'm a fucking idiot by the way on the creed review yeah right
kept saying Creed 3 when I miss a Creed for you know like that type of thing
where it used to be the joke with the Osama bin Laden and the Barack Hussein
like a we're crossing Obama ya and Saddam Hussein like Obama and yeah that
is the one that was going on yeah where it's just like people were like actively
telling themselves like don't say it don't say it don't say and then as soon
as you get out and well Sam was really fucking things up around here it's a god
damn it I said hey I told myself not to say it multiple times so yes I'm aware I
fucked up is rocky for night rocky 3 I'm sorry back to second yeah so he comes
from the Cubs organization yes is that right mm-hm and what are we expecting
from Hyde I know you you were gushing about him when it when it was first
announced well I I really I really enjoy when you when you pick somebody and like
much like we were talking about with the NFL have there's only a certain number
of like elite head coaches kind of thing I think that there's only a certain
number of elite baseball minds in the majors right now okay and one of them is
Joe Maddon and having somebody who was like this right-hand man of Joe Maddon
makes me happy as nouriel's an that were perhaps going to be getting some like
outside of the box thinking and like every single year every single year for
the entire history of their existence people have been saying Tampa Bay is
gonna finish last in the division yeah and then they almost never do like
somehow they find somebody who comes up and does something special and it's just
a system that that has to be taught or think or I were the Orioles find a way
did not win 60 games that's also one way for them not to finish in the top
yeah I mean I just I I just feel like Elias is trying to set up something
special here okay and I think that hide is the type of guy who is going to fit
in that system and be able to be more analytical about it okay
and that hopefully this equals a new a new era of Orioles baseball where we're
able to compete with just the people that we sort of like Scout and bring up
and and build from within and then the Orioles the the good news about the
Orioles is they they're not a minor at a small-market team like Oakland or Kansas
City or something like every once in awhile they can open up the purse
strings and bring somebody in right so the idea of like getting really close
and then being able to bring in that big free agent hitter or some like that or
something the Orioles can do we have Chris Davis under contract why would you
do that he's gonna be with us for like six years I am curious as to what what a
what the project with Chris Davis is yeah cuz I feel like you just gotta like
break him down to his base element and start over yeah I mean I hope the
project involves something similar to Guantanamo Bay that's what my he's
thinking it's gonna get shut down and I never get shut down
I mean they're like waterboarding and breaking him down to like when he's
nothing in this building him back up again and maybe finding that there was
some natural talent in there to hit a baseball that it wasn't just mental yeah
because if it was just mental we're probably lost I don't I don't really
know what the plan is so but I guess we'll see it's a long offseason right
yeah and there's still you know by getting assistant coaches and hitting
coaches and pitching coaches and all this
so we'll see what they do but I mean like so far the Orioles aren't gonna be
very good next year even though I'm still gonna probably put a stupid $20 on
them to win the world's here because Buck got fired last year and there's no
reason not to at least the odds are gonna be like 1500 oh I know it's gonna
be huge or 225 $20 bet al title like don't go crazy because like but
everything that buck got fired from doesn't necessarily win the World Series
the next no but they get a win the pennant
just al champion Baltimore Orioles $20 bet to pay off 20,000 something like
that let me laugh in my own my way all the way to the bank
yeah there's no way this goes wrong so we have some people joining us in the
chat so you can also join us at facebook.com forward slash o the anthem

before Christmas oh yes right that's the night yes oh they'll be available
Tuesday check out the episode yeah or you listening to it right now and none
of this is yeah this also seems like making up making a problem Zoey yeah so
a lot on to where national news big news this week Trump yeah ready to shut down
the government once again mm-hmm because the Republicans never learned their
lesson you know it I think if there's any lesson that I I've I've learned this
year it's that you can't you can't trust anybody to just do the right thing we
had that with Miguel Santiago or yeah it's like a Democrat out of Los
Angeles should know better than to go up against net neutrality but every once in
a while you have to you have to make some calls you have to go down to
offices you have to go like you know like I'm going to actively try and get
you out of office if you do this shit to us and buh-buh-buh and you have to stand
up for what you believe the border wall the five billion dollar border wall that
trump is willing to shut down the government for is has a massive
disapproval number yeah the likes of which we almost don't even get anymore
I think it's like 68 or 75 percent disapprove of the idea of building the
wall well most of us are logical enough to understand that a wall in modern
times does nothing yeah people go under it especially seen as most people come
into this country on an airplane yes and even if you did build a wall the people
the fine people of Mexico are incredible building tunnels which is defeats the
wall yes funny funny thing about that is if you're playing a game of tunnels
walls and airplanes walls lose to everything literally everything beats
walls eyeballs also the other the other part I find particularly interesting
about this whole thing is that they a seven-year-old died from dehydration and
separated everything like that at the border and I'm not laughing because it's
it's hilarious I'm laughing at it because it's it's like a new sad low and
it's it's almost like I feel like Trump if he eventually gives up and just signs
a CR to continue the government along yeah he's just gonna come up with
something almost worse like I I can already see him planning on having like
drones just like constantly going up up and down the border firing that
literally anyone out there just because there was a time which I advocated for
that very thing just be that machine guns on the border that are have
infrared on them and whether it's a rabbit or a horse or a person nothing
comes in the border zone yes but the the terrifying continuation of Trump is that
I see is that he's going to extend himself to this sort of level in
spite of the wall yeah so he's gonna spend this whole week going you know
choking Nancy you're trying to keep the wall away from the American people
everyone wants it and then eventually there's gonna be some sort of like
alright well we'll give you 1 billion dollars towards border security not
enough to build your stupid wall but here's your border security and the
Troubles say that he won yeah but then when there's no wall on February and
there's slow news coverage that's when the drones are just gonna start mowing
down Mexicans ands Trump's gonna be like well this is how we got to defend our
country now like think I'm part of like do you want to get this stupid baby is
wall just so he doesn't do something work like it's like that's literally
something like I never in my life before have I ever thought about politics in
the sense of like well we're gonna shut this down and then we don't like you
know like if you don't want the Clinton health care plan you shut it down you
they bring it up and you know in front of Congress they it loses and then
you're done with it yeah I had to worry about them bringing it up again with
Trump I have to worry about the terrifying new highs in which and a
broken idea can turn into something even worse you know yeah
and he's already laid the groundwork by saying that Mexico he's paying for the
wall and here's how the New Deal that they're striking that will replace NAFTA
will essentially make up the fifteen billion dollars for the wall so if he
increases tax revenue I'm guessing I don't really I guess it's we're gonna
put in some tariffs and those tariffs and we're gonna collect 15 billion which
will pay for the wall essentially except for that 15 billion will be raised over
the course of a decade which means he'll be out of office and the tariffs will be
dropped before they actually repay for anything yeah um but so he's laying the
groundwork by saying what we are getting the Mexicans to pay the wall for the
wall just indirectly and I saw a green not only I mean like they're the you
know the the Republican tax plan directly led it was those whore plant
closings by GM yeah as one example and most of those plants are fucking going
to Mexico yeah because it actually incentivizes companies to move their
business and their workforce to Mexico so III don't I don't get where where
they they're coming from wood because the the
point is that and not to get on my proletariat soapbox there but the point
is for poor people here without jobs to hate poor people in Mexico without jobs
and to think that they're the problem when the problem is that the guy who is
on top of the pyramid is really just moving little things around on a chess
board to make people hate each other yeah and keep us from organizing and
once we organize and we throw them out then everything would be better for
everyone but we won't do that because we blame everyone else also I saw an
interesting tweet recently I'd like to bring this up to have people think on it
a little bit yeah we we there are active things within our media which are trying
to just cause the outrage like it used like trolling used to be something that
you would do on like you know a Twitter commenters yeah you know or at the ER a
message board throughout some outrageous statement and see how many people could
get upset this is an active part of how news organizations quote-unquote news
organizations try and get viewers to their site or get people to come to
their web sites where they like the one I saw that was an example today was an
tweet some people are saying that Santa should be gender non gender neutral or
vml like whatever whatever your interpretation of who Santa Claus should
be is like what it should be and this is clearly just nothing other than getting
idiots upset yeah like getting somebody who's just like salmon on a man not on
my watch get them all fired up make them share that thing on Facebook oh like
these stupid liberals and their goddamn Santa hating ya you know and then go on
to there go on to the web site not read the article but put some comment like
you know like I'll be damned if Santa's ever a female in my view it's not that I
don't like women it's just like this is all part of a strategy to get somebody
to just do something over which nobody is fucking doing yeah there maybe
there's a small fraction of a percentage of people who actually go like Oh
Santa's a woman in my mind fine don't fucking listen to them I think only
mom from fresh off the boat thinks that saying as a woman they did a whole
series about it there's like a two-episode arc you can check it out so
available because go watch it don't live in this world where where you're
constantly being like antagonized by people writing stupid nonsense that is a
mainstream news network I think that was CNN that is ridiculous yeah and they're
doing it just to wine people on but that's where we are and that's what
Trump has done to the country and Stephen Miller is apparently writing the
ice press briefings now are the press releases now we're seriously like you
can see videos of of Border Patrol officers finding water out in the desert
and just like dumping it out and then they're like listen not our fault
she chose to cross it a non-legal border crossing and died of hyper
non hypothermia but dehydration hydration yeah listen maybe she should
have brought more water with her maybe she should have found some water in the
desert mm-hmm but again that they had her in
custody and she died in custody is like the most appalling thing yeah we at this
point we are just bordering you can find any video of the Gaza border with Israel
yeah that is what our border with Mexico is starting to look like militarized and
oh wait no the troops went home because the elections over so not as militarized
yes but still like actively they were shooting tear gas at kids like two weeks
ago yeah I mean like we didn't get into that at when it happened because I think
it happened like lead on the Monday and we didn't like weed into it because I
think Corey's scared of the hot takes recently I'm not scared of the hot takes
I just didn't want to like I didn't know anything about it and I didn't want to
talk I didn't want to talk about something I didn't know anything about
and I still don't know everything that I think I would like to know about the
situation but just as a general rule I I see no reason why you would ever fire
tear gas at a job yeah no matter how no matter how far along in my process I go
III don't come up with many reasons why children should be tear gassed like I
mean I just probably with some is it a private school where
it's just a bunch of rich kids and we're coming in like I mean yeah I get it
they're annoying and they they cry and they want their mommy and blah blah blah
blah but like there's no real reason to actively teargas children it's a nice
but stupid and stupid and pointless yeah and what luckily though those children
and millions like by the way I'm sorry one other thought it's like almost
everyone has forgotten what led to al-qaeda and all these terrorist groups
in the Middle East where we started intersecting ourselves into the affairs
of competent of countries that we hadn't did we didn't need to get involved in
yeah and then we start selling arms to some of them and then they become
enemies later and then we're trying to topple one dictator to bring another one
in because this dictator is gonna be friendlier to our oil interests than the
other one and we've been doing this throughout
Central America for ever yeah which is why they're coming here but yeah this is
why they're coming here we we put some we put some you know random dictator in
charge of Venezuela and then all of a sudden everyone has to flee and try and
get to a place where they won't worry about waking up in the middle of the
night dead and well no to be fair we put a dictator in place in Cuba the cute are
in Venezuela the Venezuelan people finally stood up throughout said
dictator and put someone in power that they chose and so we put sanctions on
them so strictly that they can't export anything from their country yeah only
two countries that are friendly with them like Cuba which is also under
sanctions so not a great exchange there and the u.s. leans on other countries in
Europe and in Asia to not trade with you so then eventually you cause an influx
of tho or an outflux of those people to other countries around them which
destabilizes those countries because they have an influx of ID law
ideologically different people coming into their country so now the US
government intercedes in that country because let's say all the Communists who
are in Venezuela but who can't eat there go to Panama Panama now has an influx of
communists and you know what communism starts looking pretty good to those
people so we toppled government in order to put in a dictator
that will fight communists there which causes in outlooks of communist to
Guatemala and Honduras and to Nicaragua and so we topple those governments in
order to put it in our anti-cop cap anti-communist people there and thus
goes the 20th century eventually it just came back around to Venezuela having
communism again yeah and Oh trying to topple it again no
but there you know this isn't this isn't fancy news though this is always been
Laden got plenty of weapons and you know troops essentially the American people
don't talk about training the the Taliban essentially to topple
Afghanistan yes how do you fight a a major power well you guys look pretty
stupid out here with your bows and arrows and your old hunting guns let's
give you some real guns and teach you some real tactics and then he could shoo
meme oh you're using them against us strange how that works out yeah yeah
it's a it's a it's a global politics is a lot like Jenga you move one thing put
it somewhere else but you're you're hurting the other part yes and that's
the voting the foundation foundation to make it taller and this is this is
something that Trump should personally have experience with I mean the problem
with Trump is that in between his own turns he's also banging on the table
because it was which is never good when he did talking about Jenga
but luckily those children American children children all over the world
have strong leadership coming in to the Congress and they will stand up for
what's right no yes oh wow I I'm so fucking sick and tired of Chuck Schumer
I am going to scream first of all I wouldn't know what magic keeps those
glasses on his face because he can move and gesture and those things just hurt
magnets inside of his nose that's gotta be it it's got to be it he had he had a
hit a piercing just in the inside just about the just catches it hold it
doesn't have to keep the magnets on Jack I it's almost like he doesn't live
in a world like sometimes I watch Trump and I'm just like he doesn't operate in
the same universe as the rest of us like he's in his own Lake tansy fanciful
universe where like it certain things hit him and certain
things don't but I Chuck Schumer is just as bad as type in that regard because
like he was talking to Trump like Trump said something like you know like we
need the border wall everyone wants the border wall American demand for the
border wall was high and then like the Schumer goes into his like well you know
the Washington Post gave your comments on the border wall of for Pinocchio
rating I'm just like don't ever say that again those are not words that you
should be using to like the debate with this press just like seriously like if
he's just like I owe the American people wanted we want it with though the wall
is the most popular thing in the entire America it's just be like trucks should
literally just sit there just be like seriously Donnell shut the fuck up and
then he did that once during a press conference everyone just be like Chuck
Schumer finally stands up to Donald Trump give those leaders and we deserve
you know like that but you just need that way don't do your life you know
like well according to Washington Post fact checkers I I recently gotten word
that your your statements on on the border are getting multiple Pinocchio's
every single time and he doesn't care he knows he's lying but no you know what
people you know what people who like bully others really don't like being
embarrassed in front of others so if Chuck Schumer was just like just in the
middle of that press conference instead of launching into one of his many like
completely meaningless rants he could have just like any point just muttering
on his breath like just goddamn channel she was such a fucking idiot and then
all the press corps would have laughed and you would have seen Trump's pace
like literally like drop and then that would have become like this huge fucking
meme forever oh yeah and a nice trial story would be about like you know the
Chunkin were calls Trump a fucking idiot under his breath Trump doesn't know what
to say to it like you know like it would have changed the story of the stupid
Lake and Schumer's trial for treason would
tracked us for the next six months and actually talked about that as a trump
calls for the guards like God sees him he's not allowed to do that Jay said but
you're not to tell me to go fuck myself nobody's allowed to do that except for
daddy and daddy's dead I will say the one thing I've gone from Chuck's humor
generally I like to think that he is trying his best to at least placate all
sides but what I got from him this week was he is a man who is skilled at saying
a lot without saying anything and most of that press conference like the
Pinocchio rating and the like you know I do mr. president I just don't think you
understand that all of that is just saying things without saying anything of
substance yeah he came out of that meeting and it didn't had an interview
with some paper in Washington or a media of some kind and someone asked him hey
Medicare with this judge overturning oh by the way judging Texas completely
overturned Obamacare basically said that the individual man in a way that is
completely non legal by the way the most political and non legal decision I have
ever read just basically saying here is the outcome I want and I'm gonna ignore
all the precedents and just say I'm gonna take this from this one and
there's almost what that was like he doesn't realize that when I get to
overturned an appeal at some point that it's going to make it even more
difficult to like argue want any of the framework right he said for he doesn't
care about that though what he cares about is getting Donald's attention and
going from where he is yeah to the federal court of appeals or over Mobile
County to the Supreme Court right exactly
so every overturned the individual mandate and said that it was inseparable
from the whole whole even though it has been separated from the whole I guess
already which is why that's an illegal anyway not important so somebody asked
Chuck Schumer with Obamacare being overturned by this judge in Texas and
the individual mandate leading to the fall of the whole thing and Medicare for
all being such a high popular thing with the left is this something you'll push
for in the next Congress and he wishy-washy had ways to his way through
it and the end result is him saying and the commenter I saw on this said
this is something that Democrats need to learn to do Republicans when they get
into power will start offering these ridiculous extremely right-wing
legislation mm-hmm that they know may or may not pass but they also know that if
they throw three of them at you the Democrats will make a deal in which
they'll agree to one yeah so let's do that and let's say no matter what the
Medicare for all is gonna be the one so let's go for open borders and ninety
percent tax on the rich and Medicare for all put those in and then go to the
Republicans to be like listen guys we have constituents here
they voted us in clearly they want us to rule so one of these needs to go which
one would you prefer the one that costs you nothing the one that caused you
ninety percent or the one that sends a flood of people from other countries in
here I I think I think my my number one problem with Chuck and Nancy at this
moment is that they they they will refuse to play the game that Mitch
McConnell and Paul Ryan have been playing terrifyingly but masterfully yes
like everyone everyone who thinks that Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell are devil
incarnate are are flabbergasted every single time they put some bill up or
yeah something that you know tries to strike down the Affordable Care Act or
to this so they do that like everything that just breaking the the the the very
fabric of what what the Democrats believe but they're so good at doing
that yeah because they don't get distracted they don't fall for bullshit
like if something comes up like you know like if I just murdered Rob here in
front of here on camera pacano McConnell if I was McConnell I would be able to
say something like well I don't think we need to worry about that right now I
mean we need to I need to be arrested and charged and then we need to go
through the corridors there's no way that we can prove that this actually
happened and I should probably keep my seat this whole time let's we're
discussion about it yeah I mean like this
today problem this is another like start your investigation and then I will help
you along with it and we'll figure it out eventually and in many years we'll
come to some sort of reasonable you can't do it be like you just murdered
that guy on TV now no there's no way around it he does not care McConnell and
Ryan do not care they will do whatever they need to do to get the the the end
result that they want and Chuck and Nancy don't have that that bone in them
where they're gonna say like maybe I got to be a little bit deceitful or maybe I
guess maybe I got to press the line a little bit here they're just not gonna
do it because they think that the much like you said about a man with the code
yeah they stick to a code but then they also have alternate codes for different
different yeah yeah it's like I have the code that I follow when I'm trying to
get money from Wall Street but I also have the code that I follow whenever I'm
talking to somebody who makes less than twenty thousand dollars a year yeah like
I have different I'm a completely new person whenever these things happen but
I it just switches depending on the the situation and by the way final outrage
on Paul Ryan out of a career of outrageous he's trying to get a one-time
increase in the number of people who can come from Ireland in immigration this
year yeah why is that because he's Irish because he's Irish and this is the one
thing I'm asking for this year guys it's like let's triple the number of people
coming from the home country here and what would happen if that new
congressman from Minnesota you know the Somali Muslim one yeah yeah
was to say you know what guys can we just also increase the Somali Muslim
number for just one year just in honor of all of my good work people would lose
their damn head yeah and let's be honest no Irish need apply I don't know why we
would even allow more of the menu here the don't you see what they're doing
already building our bridges and our skyscrapers we're out of the building
business we're in the service economy now we don't know if you know this but
infrastructure isn't a problem anymore no Irish need to come in
the mines are closing the infrastructure is not a problem we don't need we're
good on we're good on bridges and highways unless unless we send him
straight to Idaho because we know the one thing NATO's potatoes that's all I'm
saying just send them there yeah Chuck and Nancy are not gonna do shit for you
if you had some faith that somehow Nancy getting the mantle of speaker back would
also give her a spine I hope that the this week has broken you of that
assumption because it will not she will not and Chuck is not even the majority
leader so he's got now but that doesn't the other thing that annoyed the fuck
out of me about Chuck was when when Trump was boasting about how he how he
added seats in the Senate and Chuck Schumer was just like yeah by winning
seats in North Dakota and I Indiana good job like this is like yeah everyone who
follows this understands that all the seats that were up were mostly
Republican yeah heavy Republican seats and it was gonna be tough to to make any
headway in the Senate but at the same time like when you're just like actively
throwing out like you know like well I wasn't expecting to win in Idaho or in
Indiana and North Dakota it makes you sound like you don't give a shit about
the people who live in North Dakota Indiana by the way the minority leader
of the Senate and the Speaker of the House are both coastal elites Democrats
can we give some thought to this at all can't the next speaker be someone from I
don't know Missouri or Kansas just let's find somebody right am I wrong about
that like let's find somebody who actually represents the middle of
America because you know what Mitch McConnell is from Kentucky mmm he
doesn't represent the middle America is a rich coastal elite but he looks like
he represents Kentucky and I can't remember Paul Ryan's Wisconsin yes so
he's from Wisconsin again middle America they can't we find somebody like that
and just put them in even in the leadership let's get Steny out and put
somebody else in his whip by the way I would like to drop one last thing on you
before okay we go here first Iowa poll for 2020 yes are you ready to hear the
Democrats and the percentages all right uh camel law and Corey Booker
in the list all right yep okay go ahead well would you like to do this gamestyle
where I mentioned somebody you give me a percentage of favorable or something
like that it's just favorable unfavorable or is there ranking I think
this is oh no this is probably just percentage percentage of the total vote
yeah right all right so I'm gonna yeah let's just let's guess okay I'm gonna go
game style number one number one answer Joe Biden number one answer is Joe Biden
alright number two answer is the senator from Massachusetts
but Elizabeth Warren Elizabeth Wein four ah okay number two uh so looking for to
Cory Booker nope no six mmm so I'll run through them real quick Joe Biden 32%
Bernie Sanders 1930 Sanders yes your beta O'Rourke 11% Elizabeth Warren 8%
wait beta O'Rourke the one-time candidate who lost his statewide race in
Texas not one time he's a he's an active congressman I thought he was a state
legislator West Texas is he yeah yeah all right
even so pretty sure he lost his statewide race in Texas and he's polling
third in Iowa yeah okay Elizabeth Warren eight percent fourth Pamela Harris five
percent Cory Booker four percent oh good Michael Bloomberg three percent no no
you mean Amy Klobuchar three percent Rob Delaney one percent not Rob Delaney who
am I thinking of I don't even know who the fuck Delaney is really I'm thinking
about it sherrod Brown one percent Jerry Brown
sherrod oh okay and one percent for Julian Castro who I think is the first
ones who actually nominate or to say that he's gonna run funny though if you
look back at the same poll in December of 2006
yeah years before before the 2008 election we had john edwards at number
one with 36% mm-hmm Hillary Clinton's second was 16% Barack Obama with third
with 13% and Tom Vilsack at fourth with 11% so don't
necessarily count on these things as the so what you're saying is NATO and Obama
were at the same place two years years ago mm-hmm but the problem here's the
thing though with everyone on that list let's just say that was the acceptable
list of people that you could choose from
yeah - beep written to be the Democratic candidate the I spend so much time just
saying no to these people yeah Biden no Sanders no they know no Warren
no Harris maybe Booker maybe Bloomberg absolutely not he's not even a
democratic load char no Delaney I don't even know who the fuck you are sherrod
Brown no like I've said no to 90% of this list so far the only people I've
even thought about is Corey Harrison and Pamela or comel Harris and Cory Booker
yeah it's not even like and I'm not even wild about those two yeses I think that
it's just I felt like I needed to say yes to somebody I am NOT about those who
yes is because by the way if you nominate Cory Booker he will lose to
Donald Trump yes Donald Trump will beat him and I know it sucks to say but we
need to be a little less idealistic and say that a one-term senator might not
work a second time around I don't I think that you need to have somebody
with a little more experience but you know what who shouldn't be that Joe
Biden Hillary Clinton yeah neither of them a nominee either I think that or
Bernie Sanders for that matter I owe what I think the Democrats really need
and I think this is why people were like fascinated by the idea of avenatti
becoming president for a while there yeah is that like what the Democrats
really at the end of the day need is somebody who does exactly what I said
earlier with Chuck Schumer just like whenever Trump says some sort of
nonsense bullshit just quietly under their branches going like why do you all
see how fucking lie all the time this is like who on that list of all those
people is gonna do that none of them none of them maybe maybe Cory Booker
maybe maybe but he's only done it in a safe space though I haven't yeah him do
it like you want to do it during like a debater
right that like there's no way there's no way and you're in front of his his
committee meeting yeah and he knows that if he goes too far the chair is gonna
shut him down right you know it's safe yeah I just any who you know who should
be on that list maybe though just quickly yeah Jerry Brown you know now I
I hate the idea of saying it but story came out this week he turned a twenty
five billion dollar deficit into a sixteen billion dollar surplus now he's
basically the face of the new deficit equality what city is that Los Angeles
on Hollis but he turned to twenty five billion dollar deficit to a sixteen
billion dollar surplus people are saying that like he's not Clintonesque but he's
a deficit Hawk Lake Clinton where he's making tough decisions in order to move
the budget in the right direction and we've been talking about take your
medicine mayors in Baltimore take your medicine governors in Maryland
maybe it's time for a take your medicine president who knows he's gonna be
unpopular but you know fix some of the things Jerry Brown could be president
and it not cast anything over what he's done in his career yeah I think the the
Jerry Brown running for president thing has happened too many times to for him
to actively do it yeah maybe even though I don't imagine that most people
remember that how many times he's run for president I mean he ran in the 70s
and 80s right yeah and then you ran against Clinton when only 92 92 yeah
beat him in 92 yeah and be fired place who was third place in Iowa
yeah and they ended up winning the presidency Clinton right comeback kid
yeah Jesus Christ anything maybe baito is the one did
badly know his voice I think Beto's as far as like a charming
person to put on the top of the ticket like I I get the these shades of Obama
that you get from bado but at the same time like Obama at the very least you
could say you know constitutional law professor yes like you know that a civil
rights activist and Community Builder and like there there were things that he
was doing that we're building up to the his one senator like where he needed to
have an office just to show that he had an office
for when he ran for president yeah if he didn't have to do that he probably
wouldn't ever have been senator to begin with as ApS Martin Luther King jr.
probably could have run for president at some point never would have thought that
that was possible yeah in 1968 but could have run for
president in the mid 70s let's say how do you mean again though probably would
have done what Obama did and run run for a Senate seat in Mississippi oh yeah or
something like that first just to say look I know how to run I have a title
yeah you're about to give me twenty million dollars to run for president
I've had two million dollars and run a campaign for Senate and I successfully
did that yeah I know how to put good election people around me I'm not just a
mouthpiece to talk right right right and that was Obama he was also I mean
constitutional law professors and help I like that and people should say hey do
you understand the Constitution cuz that should be a prerequisite for being
president United States but very well Michael Chaney Michael J on Weekend
Update this week that was pretty funny anyway if anyone should know the laws
that should probably be the president you think although Nixon and Trump
reverse old so is that another mentality is president laws don't apply yeah
thanks
yeah but a Jerry Brown there was it was I like Jerry Brown and don't like Jerry
Brown on the same exact time sometimes I feel like state of California is like
the current medical profession like the current state of health care okay and
the way that like there's new advancements that are happening all the
time and like there's record profits and everything like that and as far as like
the business goes it's wonderful there's no way you can say that the
pharmaceutical business isn't rolling right now right but then if you look at
the shady underside of it you say like alright but we're also at a point where
more people who need medication can't get it that ever before in history
because they're being priced out of it if you don't have insurance there's not
a chance that you're gonna get these medications even if you do have
insurance and really good insurance if you have cancer or something like that
you might spend ten thousand dollars a month on the medication that you need
even with your insurance covering part of the cost of the deductible and stuff
like that it's like in some California has been doing amazing and
like by the numbers like you say like goes from a $25 25 billion dollar
deficit to a 16 billion dollar surplus how can you argue with those results but
at the same time there's also like the in the in these most recent vintage of
Jerry Brown as governor there's been record waste yeah there's been
incredible waste there's been more lawsuits than ever and every single
thing that ever has to get passed in California has to go through five or six
rounds of lawsuits from that is no special special natural herbs and stuff
like that yes but I know but I mean like I'm just saying like we we've it's like
you look at the numbers and you there's no way you can say that that he wasn't
successful and that he didn't do good but at the same time it's open the door
for things that are going to be our undoing in the long run
maybe because if nothing could get done because it costs 20 times what it's
supposed to cost because every single time you have to fight ten lawsuits then
there's no point and like that that part needs to change as the whole whole
beginning ended of that whole discussion alternative theory Jerry don't run for
president get involved in the Cal exit Tony you could be the first President of
the Republic of California or the People's Republic of California
depending on how things go wouldn't it be funny if he if he like the day he
steps out and just like hands over the keys to Gavin Newsome he's just like and
so colleagues and everybody you guys want to throw over this Gavin ooze
nobody seems to like this Gavin Newsom guy very much anyone wanna throw over
throw them everything you ever throw people from all across California who
usually are arguing and bickering with themselves or just like Jerry Brown I
think that Jerry can lead the Cal exit because yes Gavin we need to have a
state governor to lead the transition to be our public right and hand over the
keys so the irony Theresa May and our braixen the irony of Braun giving him
the keys of the governor's mansion and then later Gavin Newsome giving him
those keys back to the California Republic's white house I think that's
good I think it's a it's a nice bookends and it makes sense to me Jerry Brown by
the way somebody somebody fucking really came at me what
breaks it when I talked about colleagues at once and I'd like to bring up a very
important part imagine if instead of brexit it was britain and germany and
france and like every single country that basically is responsible for
Europe's success yeah like if you took every the top ten best performing
countries and then that was the exit you were doing yes those countries were
leaving everyone else like Greece and in Italy they get the second day in the EU
yeah and then people would start saying like oh that's really fucking bad for
the EU that's the thing with calyx are you because California is the sixth
largest economy in the world and the United States by themselves is the fifth
so including California no no second second I'm sorry second this is the
second California by yourself is the sixth yeah so what percentage of that
second does California make up a lot of it right most of it taxes is gonna be
fine yeah New York but the problem with cal
exit is then Texas who by the way in their state constitution has an out from
the US Constitution only state to have that don't know if you're aware of that
learn that now Paso then does Texas look at and say you know what maybe we should
start talking about this because now we're the one supporting the 48th
greece's and Italy's who can't get their shit together right we're more worried
about who's going into bathrooms then building up their economy yeah North
Carolina I'm looking at you what they have four versions of that bathroom bill
and electoral fraud in the very next election yeah good job good job focusing
on the right things anyway I have to go ice my leg hurts a lot I need a smoke
but if you're looking if you're looking to find more great ideas people who
should run for president you know where you should go where's that oh the anthem
