35. The murder hornets cometh


Listen Later

A sense of fear hangs over this entire episode, almost like a swarm of murder hornets. Seriously, we have murder hornets now? It seems like only yesterday that Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker was laughing off notions of a regional re-opening of the state. Actually, it pretty much was just yesterday that he was laughing at the idea before he embraced it. The buck stops with him. Until it doesn’t. What will be the political consequences if schools don’t open in the fall? Will frustrated parents seek their vengeance on elected officials, no matter who they are? At an appearance in Arizona, President Trump toured a factory floor without a mask and soundtracked by Guns N’ Roses rendition of “Live and Let Die.” Worst James Bond film ever. Eric and Joe share their new-found, long-standing passion for Korean baseball, and totally not because it’s the only live baseball we can watch right now. Go Giants and Dinos! And finally, Japanese honey bees kill murder hornets by sacrificing one bee to the hornet while the others swarm, vibrate their bodies to raise the temperature inside the swarm and cook the hornet to death. Sounds delightful. Eric and Joe share their worst-ever sacrificial bee-like job experience.
