Episode 20: 2 Woke 2 Furious
Welcome to Episode 20! We recorded Monday night (5/17) and originally intended this to be a shorter episode, as TB is traveling for work and will be back later in the week. But the Woke stories came in furiously yesterday, even accelerating as we got closer to recording the pod! So we ended up with yet another jam-packed episode. It seems the world wants this podcast to succeed, as the show writes itself! We hope you enjoy listening.
We start off the show discussing the Buffalo shooting and the predictable media and political reaction. All we want is a fair game and tragedies to not immediately be exploited in an attempt for political gain and tightening of free speech, but in Woke America in 2022 that's too much to ask for. We also read some old tweets and articles from Dems celebrating demographic changes in the US - as they would lead to more Democrats in power, they believed - the same thinking that apparently you can't say on air or else you're encouraging violence (0-24:50). We next move on to the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue going further Woke, and discuss what this says about society. We also ask what kind of country have we created for the next generation when one of them commits such an abhorrent act as in Buffalo and countless other shootings (25:25-37:15).
Continuing on free speech, we discuss the latest Project Veritas video about Twitter, and enjoy some excellent tweets from both Elon Musk and, surprisingly, Jeff Bezos, about the current regime's shortcomings. When things are bad enough for WashPo Bezos to criticize the Brandon administration, you know it's rough out there (37:15-52:10).
Next we cover some new Bitcoin developments. El Salvador President Nayib Bukele brought central bank and financial authority executives from 44 countries to his homeland to discuss how the bitcoin experiment is working out so far. This could one day be seen as one of the most important events in monetary history. We also discuss how Ben Bernanke - perhaps the man most responsible for the inflation and economic destruction we see today - not only laughs off bitcoin, but doesn't even understand gold's history as money (52:10-1:05:20).
We then move onto a Sports Corner focused on the NHL and NBA Playoffs, where TB's Rangers and SB's Celtics pulled off Game 7 wins on Sunday (1:05:20-1:19:05). We have a laugh about how we're already seeing woke absurdity from Jen Psaki's replacement on her first day (1:19:05-1:23:25). And finally, we close the pod with a ReWokeables. Netflix makes a first move towards shedding its WokeFlix label, while ESPN went WokeCenter again and continues making Disney the Wokest Place on Earth (1:23:25-1:37-25).
