How did Don and Mike react to holiday season public mood and viral moments?
I'm the host master of ceremonies. Let me know how I'm doing. If I do well enough, maybe I'll do this instead of being president or something like that. It's just like, all he wants to be is an even bigger game show host. That's all that he wants. We just should give him that.
It's just, it's just really embarrassing. And by the way, I mentioned this, so I'm going to, I want to play it for you just, just so you can hear it. By the way, I hope I don't have that weird list on here. Sometimes that sub stack does with me. Hold on. Here it is. Okay. You ready?
Sound fine to me.
There were no white people in the Bible. Can you hear that? I'll do it again. Just so you can hear it. Are you ready? Oh, I got to put it up to the mic. Hold on. Here we go.
There were no white people in the Bible. Mary and Joseph were Middle Eastern. Jesus wasn't born in December. Medical hospitality involves welcoming strangers. A negativity story involves migration, poverty, and border crossing. Jesus didn't speak English, and the Bible wasn't originally in English. Jesus was refuging. Shrimp cocktail is not fit for the iPhone.
Shrimp cocktail is just catching a stray there. But there were no white people in the Bible. I never thought about that. There were none. But if you say that to an American, like evangelical, their hands would pop off.
Well, you know, any church you walk into in the United States, there's almost always like some depiction of Jesus as a white guy. And like, I don't really care. I think you can, my view of it is as a Catholic is we're all made in the image of God. So like you can, I guess, portray the image of God, whoever you want, but let's not pretend that the actual Jesus to the extent that he existed, which I believe that he did not a white guy. Definitely not.
Uh, what did they say? Mary and Joseph were Middle Eastern. Yeah. A hundred percent. Don't tell you know who that.
Did you see the I mean, the pope yesterday and the day before was talking about how important it is to take care of immigrants and reminding people of what the actual story means. I mean, there's just a there's a lost translation here, particularly, I think, amongst American evangelicals who don't want to face what they're supporting versus, you know, what they worship. Is he going to be deported if he comes here next time, the pope? I don't know, but Trump said he might deport Santa if he's a bad Santa. Did you see that? Okay, that was one. Only letting the good Santa in, not the bad Santa, the one that brings me lumps of coal. What was that?
What was that?
I don't know. Did you see the clip of him talking? For folks that didn't know, Trump was taking calls with little kids Christmas Eve night, which they always do. And he took one. This was my favorite one because I just thought it was legitimately funny. He asked the kid... Sorry, I'm going to crack myself up. He was like, what'd you ask Santa for? And the kid was like, I asked him for a pinball machine. And Trump was like, oh, pinball. That's amazing. Have you ever heard Pinball Wizard by Elton John? I'm going to send the kid a copy of the record if you've never heard it before. And I was like, he cooked with that one. That was hilarious.
Oh, Pinball Wizard. Yep. What movie was that in? What's the name of that movie? The Chat will know. I forget. pin he's the pinball wizard what i forgot that movie did you see the one where he the one that people were like okay that was creepy with the eight-year-old girl yeah he's never beating the allegations he's never gonna beat them i just it was bad you have to laugh just because it's so he's just so fucking weird he's just such a weirdo but do you think people are being like overly sensitive about that or is it just because of the circumstances and they've been they they're the ones that really screwed this up hold on here it is here it is I'm fine. You sound so beautiful and cute. How old are you?
I mean, you know, I think that's probably innocent. But like, if you have a history of all the things that he has said and done, like, you sort of get what you deserve from the Internet on that one.
