In this outdated installment we banter about a number of things including my great idea that Caitlin Jenner should be on a box of Wheaties and we mention some athletes who have been on Wheaties boxes, yes they still make Wheaties, including Kyrie Irving, who the Senator doesn’t know and I say he plays for the Celtics when in fact Kyrie Irving is currently with the Brooklyn Nets who are one step away from going to the Eastern conference finals! NBA playoffs https://www.nba.com/playoffs/2021 We talk briefly about the Kentucky Derby which was all they way back on May 1st. The horse who won, Medina Spirit, had the title stripped due to failing a drug test. The hall of fame trainer Bob Baffert, had this to say… Should there be a rush to judgement? Should we point a finger? On this show? Hell yes we are, especially considering the horse failed a second drug test for the same substance. This horse is not a team player, he’s clearly an addict, the trainer is an enabler and there needs to be an intervention. What else... The Senator pisses me off in this episode and it wasn’t until after I listened to it that I realized I was pissed at him the reason why is that I have to clean up the mess of his sweeping accusations. This is what mouthy McMoutherson mouthed… It’s right after I mention Chuck Schumer, who is Jewish. He immediately mouth’s off about the cease fire in Jerusalem between Israel and Palestine which goes all the way back to May 20th so that lets you know how cutting edge this podcast is. Anyway, He voices that he is clearly in support of Israel as is our country in case you didn’t know. But the Senator is upset that democratic leaders have not spoken out in support of Israel in this situation. What would you have Chuck Schumer say? That Palestine set up their military headquarters in schools and hospitals as a cowards move as you stated? Is that his place? And should it just be him as a Senator because he happens to be Jewish? But that would show Schumer’s insensitivity to the Muslim population and the Muslim’s vote by the way. But Islam accounts for only 1% of the California population according to a wikipedia page on California demographics. Then he suggests… “suggests” that Israel is better off with Jerusalem as capital of Israel. Something that Trump did while in office… a move that other presidents both democrat and Republican suggested but did not do. Now, I’m a moron… I don’t know, is it? Is Israel is better off with Jerusalem as capital? But when I press the Senator as to why that might be a good thing or not, he has no fucking answer. So he brings up a very sensitive subject like the middle east and the capital of Israel being Jerusalem and say, “I don’t know”. Why is that controversial. It depends on who you ask. So why did Trump do it: He fulfilled a campaign promise… period. And he did it while a number of other presidents talked about doing it but did not… actually since 1995 at least. HOWEVER it was said the promise was kept, POSSIBLY, at the expense of the peace process. Is the peace process more important than where Israel’s capital is located? That answer is going to be different for different people I think. Here’s what’s in Jerusalem that are so important to three of the worlds main religions: Dome of the Rock and the Al Aqsa Masque right next to it is the 3rd holiest site in Islam. Maybe 50 feet from that is The Western Wall is a pilgrimage site where Jews from all over the world come to pray. Then the Church of the Holy Sepulchre is only about 5-600 Yards away from those… so, a long par 5 and THAT’S a long ways from the other two comparatively. The Church of the Holy Sepulchre is where many Christians believe Jesus was crucified. Pretty significant place if you hold Christianity close to you. Frankly, I spoke to Jesus about this and he said, “aren’t there airplanes and ships that can take you anywhere to practice your faith… go ahead, spread out. There’s plenty of nice real estate in other places.” We end on a lighter note, thank God, when ding dong brags to me that he’s purchased himself some Wagu beef. First of all, and neither of us should be surprised by this, he mispronounced it. It’s called Wagyu Beef. Wagyu beef is a breed of cattle developed in Japan crossing Wagyu cows with other European cattle to develop a beef that has three times more marbling fat than U.S. prime-grade beef. So this meat has more evenly distributed fat in the meat, otherwise known as marbling. That fat distributes throughout the steak giving you a tender, flavorful experience, which the Senator would like you to know is very expensive. That’s the main thing. So thank you Senator for this extraordinarily long introduction to tie up the loose ends of your big mouth. Thank you for listening to this episode that should melt in your ears like an auditory Wagyu steak…
