In this twelfth episode of recorded self-indulgent thought (successfully rebranded as a 'podcast'), Jerry does something he almost never does: he takes a Democrat to task (mark this day in history down) by commenting on former Vice-President Joe Biden's gaff on the difference between Black and Latinx communities (2:25) and why voting is more about choosing who we want to hold accountable more so than choosing the perfect candidate (8:47). Jerry then calls to make anti-racism a litmus test for Democratic candidates on par with being pro-choice (11:08) with all of the grandstanding you have come to expect from him. (Note: Jerry spends a crap ton of time talking about Uncle Joe: about his mask wearing, his bike riding without a helmet and who his running mate should be).
Speaking of gaffs, Jerry goes in on another sacred cow for liberals - the New York Times - as he discusses Maureen O'Dowds forgetting of the entire 2016 election (14:52) while giving former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton a shout out for her epic shade thrown O'Dowd's way (18:25).
Uninvited moves from gaffs to straight up presidential smoke and mirrors in the conversation regarding Trump's "address to the nation" and the signing of executive orders related to the economic disruptions caused by the inept handling of the coronavirus (20:33). Jerry talks about the Trump's orders, three of which he goes in-depth on (not too much depth...one would need to actually do the research and not watch four NBA games in a row in order to do the conversation justice but alas, here we are): Payroll Taxes, Unemployment Benefits and Eviction Moratoriums (Jerry spends more time grandstanding on evictions at the (31:39) mark). As he is one to do, Jerry almost completely derails talking about classic 80s films that would be problematic to film today and what he is watching on Netflix now (35:16) before finding his way back to the subject at hand while also shouting out the First Lady Michelle Obama -- and butchering the pronunciation of FLOTUS (38:24) and Elizabeth Warren (41:44) .
Before closing out, Jerry remembers the death of a young man that sparked a movement (43:25) and the birth of a voice that defined a generation (46:00) before calling on us to take care of ourselves and each other.
