Something fun at first. 0:01:22.560 --> 0:01:26.560 Uh Starbucks, Yes, let's talk about Starbucks. There's some nonsense 0:01:26.600 --> 0:01:30.720 happening every so, this happens every holiday season. The Fox 0:01:30.760 --> 0:01:33.200 News is of the world, like the Christian sort of 0:01:33.240 --> 0:01:35.880 like the right wing conservatives come out with something. 0:01:35.880 --> 0:01:38.320 They'll find anything to prove there's like a war. 0:01:38.160 --> 0:01:41.520 On Christmas, Christians and Christmas, like there's a war on 0:01:41.560 --> 0:01:44.760 the holidays. Usually it's when everyone says happy Holidays, like 0:01:44.840 --> 0:01:47.160 I'm just going to say Merry Christmas and screw you guys, 0:01:47.200 --> 0:01:50.040 you know. And this year they decided to go in 0:01:50.120 --> 0:01:53.200 on Starbucks. Yes, Starbucks has a new Every year they 0:01:53.200 --> 0:01:54.480 have a new cup, I guess, yeah. 0:01:54.560 --> 0:01:57.200 Like it's usually like some some sort of holiday Christmas 0:01:57.200 --> 0:02:01.440 theme cup, and passing years it's been like, you know, 0:02:01.520 --> 0:02:04.520 I don't know, like ice skates and snowflake snowflakes and 0:02:04.560 --> 0:02:06.800 you know, they're totally key. You can google it. And 0:02:06.880 --> 0:02:09.880 so this year the cup is red and green and 0:02:10.120 --> 0:02:12.160 it's devoid of like snowflakes. 0:02:12.400 --> 0:02:15.519 There's no patterns. It's like an ombre yes and it's nice. 0:02:15.560 --> 0:02:17.360 I mean, I don't know, it's like whatever, it's a 0:02:17.400 --> 0:02:19.960 freaking cup, Like who thinks about that exactly? But now 0:02:19.960 --> 0:02:23.800 people are saying that because there's no festive accoutrement, that 0:02:23.840 --> 0:02:26.840 they think it's Starbucks's a way of ignoring Christmas and 0:02:26.880 --> 0:02:29.040 of course there's a war on Christmas now, which I 0:02:29.040 --> 0:02:31.639 think is such utter bullshit. I actually went to weather 0:02:31.680 --> 0:02:34.320 dot com and looked up the weather in Bethlehem. 0:02:33.760 --> 0:02:35.560 Which is a real place where Jesus was born. 0:02:35.800 --> 0:02:36.639 This was born there. 0:02:36.720 --> 0:02:40.720 Yes, they travel from Nazareth to Bethlehem. Let me tell you, 0:02:40.760 --> 0:02:44.880 in December it is a smooth sixty degrees in Bethlehem. 0:02:45.160 --> 0:02:46.760 You means to tell me there's no snowflakes. 0:02:46.760 --> 0:02:48.040 There's no snowflakes in Bethlehem. 0:02:48.080 --> 0:02:50.799 Now, so Jesus was not born on a wintry night. 0:02:50.880 --> 0:02:53.240 There was no snowflakes from nobody was ice skating in 0:02:53.280 --> 0:02:55.840 Bethlehem the night that Jesus was born. Like, it is 0:02:55.960 --> 0:02:58.520 nothing to do with snowflakes. You guys need to calm down, yes, 0:02:58.520 --> 0:03:08.520 please do. And so I read that. I read that 0:03:09.080 --> 0:03:11.760 there were six passengers on the Spirit Airlines. First of all, 0:03:11.800 --> 0:03:15.239 Spirit Airline is like the toilet bowl of all airlines. 0:03:15.280 --> 0:03:17.280 Like it is just the worst. It's so bad I've 0:03:17.280 --> 0:03:20.280 had I feel like everyone has a like a Spirit 0:03:20.320 --> 0:03:23.800 Airline horror story. If you travel, because you get lured 0:03:23.800 --> 0:03:26.320 in by that, like you know, one hundred dollars round 0:03:26.320 --> 0:03:28.320 trip ticket and then you're like, oh, and it's thirty 0:03:28.360 --> 0:03:30.720 five dollars for a carry on and oh like ten 0:03:30.800 --> 0:03:34.000 dollars for booking online and not. 0:03:34.200 --> 0:03:36.080 If you don't pronoun your ticket ahead of time. It's 0:03:36.080 --> 0:03:37.880 like Frontier some bullshit. 0:03:38.040 --> 0:03:38.200 Yea. 0:03:38.800 --> 0:03:41.600 So they apparently like so they constantly overbook and they 0:03:41.640 --> 0:03:43.440 have so few flights, so like if you get bumped 0:03:43.440 --> 0:03:45.240 from a flight, you have to basically stay over in 0:03:45.240 --> 0:03:46.640 that city because they have so few. 0:03:46.440 --> 0:03:47.200 Flights for people. 0:03:47.240 --> 0:03:49.640 So they overbooked, and they had these to this this 0:03:49.720 --> 0:03:52.880 African American couple. They wanted to change seats, and so 0:03:52.960 --> 0:03:54.640 they asked them, and the couple was like, no, we 0:03:54.640 --> 0:03:55.720 don't want to change seats. 0:03:55.960 --> 0:03:56.600 It's not fair. 0:03:56.640 --> 0:03:58.560 We paid money, like why do we have to change seats? 0:03:58.840 --> 0:04:00.880 And I guess things got a little out of out 0:04:00.880 --> 0:04:03.440 of hand, and then other passengers kind of like piped 0:04:03.440 --> 0:04:06.080 in and stood up. I guess four other passengers who 0:04:06.080 --> 0:04:09.400 were African American like started arguing with Spirit with the 0:04:09.400 --> 0:04:12.160 flight attendant, and then she called the cops, and the 0:04:12.200 --> 0:04:14.720 cops came and everybody like, all these six people had 0:04:14.760 --> 0:04:15.120 to get off. 0:04:15.160 --> 0:04:17.200 The flight got kicked off, and so now spirits in 0:04:17.200 --> 0:04:18.280 a world of bad press. 0:04:18.360 --> 0:04:22.240 Yet again, Yes, and yeah, you know, and obviously like 0:04:22.279 --> 0:04:23.240 it's hard when you're not. 0:04:23.200 --> 0:04:24.719 There to see what happened. 0:04:24.800 --> 0:04:25.960 Yeah, to see what happened. 0:04:26.000 --> 0:04:28.080 But you know, there is that whole thing like would 0:04:28.080 --> 0:04:30.440 this have escalated so much if they weren't black?

Besides that, I 0:04:38.760 --> 0:04:41.120 feel like people are it's always like when you are, 0:04:41.400 --> 0:04:44.680 when you were outspoken and black, what the feedback is like, 0:04:45.040 --> 0:04:46.120 why are you so angry? 0:04:46.200 --> 0:04:47.080 Calm down? 0:04:47.200 --> 0:04:49.880 Like because the threat, the threat is always that violence 0:04:49.960 --> 0:04:50.599 is coming next. 0:04:50.960 --> 0:04:52.520 Yeah, like someone's gonna pull them niight. 0:04:52.600 --> 0:04:54.360 Yeah, like if you went. 0:04:54.240 --> 0:04:57.520 Through security, exactly, nobody has sharp botches.

This is an example 0:07:18.680 --> 0:07:21.120 of you know, just like girl power or whatever. And 0:07:21.160 --> 0:07:23.160 part of me is like yay, part of me is 0:07:23.160 --> 0:07:23.680 also like. 0:07:23.640 --> 0:07:24.760 Don't chase down a crook. 0:07:24.840 --> 0:07:27.000 Yeah, like maybe they have a gun, Yeah, perhaps they 0:07:27.000 --> 0:07:29.640 have a knife. Like that's not you know, but good 0:07:29.680 --> 0:07:33.200 for her. And then they actually have security footage from 0:07:33.360 --> 0:07:35.520 the from the incident, so she's telling the truth. 0:07:35.560 --> 0:07:36.000 You see the. 0:07:35.920 --> 0:07:38.520 Guy behind Harry picks up the phone. She doesn't chase 0:07:38.600 --> 0:07:41.200 him down the street. She's not running like, he's really 0:07:41.240 --> 0:07:44.160 just strolling, and she just also strolls after him and stops, 0:07:44.160 --> 0:07:45.760 and it sounds like they have like a polite exchange. 0:07:45.760 --> 0:07:46.960 She's like, did you take my phone? 0:07:47.000 --> 0:07:47.200 Sir? 0:07:47.560 --> 0:07:49.720 He's like, oh, yeah, here you go and hands it 0:07:49.720 --> 0:07:49.960 to her. 0:07:50.760 --> 0:07:53.960 So there's no like like creaky chase she's doing on 0:07:54.160 --> 0:07:56.560 the You know how fishermen have like those fishermen stories 0:07:56.600 --> 0:07:57.280 like then I. 0:07:57.280 --> 0:08:01.600 Pulled the big not just fishermen, Like apparently presidential candidates 0:08:02.240 --> 0:08:05.680 have been a little a little bit embellishing some of 0:08:05.720 --> 0:08:09.000 their stories do tell. So Ben Carson, who was gonna 0:08:09.000 --> 0:08:11.320 be my brown break, Actually eventually he probably won't be, 0:08:11.360 --> 0:08:13.600 but I have something else today. But Ben Carson obviously 0:08:13.640 --> 0:08:15.360 is gaining in the polls, and that's just put a 0:08:15.400 --> 0:08:17.480 huge bulls line on his back and people that are 0:08:17.520 --> 0:08:20.760 really digging into his past. He's obviously over now and 0:08:20.800 --> 0:08:23.640 we're a neurosurgeon. He wrote a book in the early 0:08:23.720 --> 0:08:26.600 nineties called Gifted Hands. Gifted Hands. He's like, was it 0:08:26.640 --> 0:08:29.240 an autobiography? You're gonna have a memoir thing? Yeah, And 0:08:29.840 --> 0:08:33.200 several news reports this week have come out saying so 0:08:33.280 --> 0:08:35.240 one of like three different things he's sort of like 0:08:35.280 --> 0:08:38.559 fudged details about. So one that CN ended was all 0:08:38.600 --> 0:08:41.160 about how he claims to have had all these anger issues, 0:08:41.200 --> 0:08:42.880 and he claims to have pulled a knife on a 0:08:42.880 --> 0:08:45.920 friend one time and like beat up people and been 0:08:45.960 --> 0:08:48.400 really violent, and apparently he had some kind to Jesus 0:08:48.440 --> 0:08:50.280 moment where he was in the bathroom and he had 0:08:50.320 --> 0:08:52.719 just like almost killed or just wanted to kill one 0:08:52.720 --> 0:08:54.880 of his friends, and he was in the bathroom and 0:08:54.880 --> 0:08:56.720 he's like, and then I reached in the drawer and 0:08:56.720 --> 0:09:00.760 pulled out the Bible, and then I like I my 0:09:00.960 --> 0:09:03.600 second coming or whatever, like Jesus helped him and then 0:09:03.640 --> 0:09:06.640 he became this new life of like you know, uh, 0:09:06.880 --> 0:09:11.280 kindness and Christianity or whatever. Okay, So CNN went back 0:09:11.440 --> 0:09:13.719 and talked to like a bunch of his classmates from 0:09:13.720 --> 0:09:15.640 this time in his life, and none of them were 0:09:15.679 --> 0:09:18.359 like they're like ben like violent. 0:09:18.880 --> 0:09:20.760 He was kind of nerdy.

And 0:09:42.160 --> 0:09:45.000 I'm not saying Jesus can't save you. Yeah, but let 0:09:45.040 --> 0:09:48.520 it be authentic. You don't need to give extra you know, 0:09:48.840 --> 0:09:51.439 lies to I don't know. That just seems really crazy 0:09:51.520 --> 0:09:52.080 and not just that. 0:09:52.200 --> 0:09:54.679 So he also said that he was offered a scholarship 0:09:54.720 --> 0:09:58.800 to West Point, which is this like highly competitive military academy, 0:09:58.880 --> 0:10:01.320 and turns out there are no scholarships to West Point 0:10:01.360 --> 0:10:04.280 because people who go there don't pay, and the only 0:10:04.360 --> 0:10:06.360 way to get in is you have to be you 0:10:06.400 --> 0:10:08.160 have to have a reference from like basically someone in 0:10:08.160 --> 0:10:10.880 Congress or someone in political power or from the military 0:10:11.000 --> 0:10:15.240 has to refer you, and nobody, like he nobody referred him, 0:10:15.280 --> 0:10:17.000 and he didn't actually get admitted at all. 0:10:17.800 --> 0:10:18.880 Wow, that's a big one. 0:10:19.040 --> 0:10:20.120 Yeah. 0:10:20.160 --> 0:10:22.439 So the way he explains it is that he's like, oh, 0:10:22.440 --> 0:10:24.319 actually I had a conversation with someone who said I 0:10:24.320 --> 0:10:27.480 should apply, but he only had ten dollars and back 0:10:27.520 --> 0:10:30.280 then it cost ten dollars to apply to college. He's like, 0:10:30.280 --> 0:10:31.960 I only had ten dollars, so the one place I 0:10:31.960 --> 0:10:33.920 applied to was he was a Yale and he got 0:10:33.920 --> 0:10:35.960 into Yale and went on And I'm just like. 0:10:36.240 --> 0:10:38.400 You have an amazing career.

I'm guilty of it too, Like you retell 0:11:11.840 --> 0:11:13.960 a story and it just gets a little bit more dramatic. 0:11:14.320 --> 0:11:15.600 But when you are on that. 0:11:15.640 --> 0:11:18.520 When you get to this public stage and you are 0:11:18.559 --> 0:11:20.560 in front of a camera and you're talking to people 0:11:20.600 --> 0:11:23.080 like you cannot be lying, especially in the day, in 0:11:23.080 --> 0:11:23.800 the age of Google. 0:11:23.920 --> 0:11:25.280 Yeah, that everyone can find out. 0:11:25.320 --> 0:11:27.240 I can imagine Ben Carson in the nineties being like, 0:11:27.360 --> 0:11:31.080 how they gonna know? You know, like there's not even 0:11:31.080 --> 0:11:34.400 computers yet. So yeah, it's just and you. It's a 0:11:34.440 --> 0:11:37.320 cautionary tale, like do not do not lie. Your story 0:11:37.400 --> 0:11:37.800 is enough? 0:11:38.040 --> 0:11:41.160 Yes, you know, are enough, Ben, You're enough whatever. 0:11:41.040 --> 0:11:43.679 I mean, but I mean, yes, you said you have 0:11:43.760 --> 0:11:44.960 something funny about Donald Trump. 0:11:45.040 --> 0:11:48.679 You said, oh Trump, Yeah, so real quick. Today is Sunday. 0:11:48.760 --> 0:11:52.480 Last night, Donald Trump was on SNL and I obviously 0:11:52.520 --> 0:11:54.120 did not watch because I had better things to do 0:11:54.200 --> 0:11:55.800 with my life. And it's a hot mess. He was 0:11:55.840 --> 0:11:58.320 even on there in the first place, and he you know, 0:11:58.400 --> 0:12:01.559 I was really worried that because of his because of 0:12:01.640 --> 0:12:04.960 his like his media savvy or like just people being 0:12:04.960 --> 0:12:07.840 really fascinated by him and loved watching him for entertainment purposes, 0:12:07.960 --> 0:12:09.640 I was worried they were going to get high ratings. 0:12:10.000 --> 0:12:11.640 And the ratings haven't come out yet, but. 0:12:11.640 --> 0:12:13.960 All the reviews of the show said he was terrible 0:12:14.040 --> 0:12:16.679 good that he just like totally bombed. He wasn't funny, 0:12:17.520 --> 0:12:20.520 and he watered down, Like he said no to several 0:12:20.600 --> 0:12:23.120 sketches because he was worried about how they play in 0:12:23.160 --> 0:12:25.079 the polls, and so he ended up just doing like 0:12:25.120 --> 0:12:27.880 a really weak cameo and a couple of skits, and 0:12:27.920 --> 0:12:29.240 the whole show is kind of awkward. 0:12:30.200 --> 0:12:33.760 So yay SNL that NBC. 0:12:34.559 --> 0:12:36.280 And there was all those protests. 0:12:36.559 --> 0:12:39.720 You know, that famous Latino actor John Luguizamo, he was 0:12:39.760 --> 0:12:42.880 actually interviewed on Yahoo. I got to see the back 0:12:42.880 --> 0:12:46.040 of his head. Yeah, he's like, he's an amazing actor. 0:12:46.120 --> 0:12:48.800 He's not really vocal politically, he's not. But he came 0:12:48.800 --> 0:12:50.760 out on Yahoo and said that he was boycotting. He 0:12:50.800 --> 0:12:52.679 was like, I'm never gonna watch SNL again because they 0:12:52.679 --> 0:12:55.040 had this joker on there, and I mean, you know, 0:12:55.080 --> 0:12:56.600 I hope it was worth it, NBC. 0:12:56.679 --> 0:12:58.040 I hope it was worth whatever. 0:12:57.880 --> 0:13:00.720 Ratings you may or may not have gotten, exactly alienate 0:13:01.000 --> 0:13:03.720 such a huge base. They also got called out because 0:13:03.720 --> 0:13:06.320 one of the sketches apparently they had another and this 0:13:06.400 --> 0:13:09.360 isn't this isn't Like. SNL is notorious for having white 0:13:09.360 --> 0:13:12.079 actors play Latinos and they had yet again. I think 0:13:12.080 --> 0:13:14.160 a white one of the white show people people on 0:13:14.200 --> 0:13:18.560 the show played am a Latino personality, politician or something 0:13:18.600 --> 0:13:22.120 like that. So they need to diversify their cast and 0:13:22.160 --> 0:13:26.120 they need to stop having these racist xenophobes. 0:13:25.800 --> 0:13:28.320 Exactly as host. You see, it didn't work out for you. 0:13:28.400 --> 0:13:29.760 I mean, you know, but we all have to learn 0:13:30.240 --> 0:13:34.559 Lama's a bitch and she bites, and that's it for buzzworthy. 0:13:35.120 --> 0:13:51.920 Brown break, Brown break, what you're gonna do? 0:13:56.000 --> 0:13:56.800 That was the break? 0:13:57.280 --> 0:13:57.840 You didn't get it. 0:13:57.920 --> 0:14:01.000 We're doing a lot of like voiceovers and like you know, we're. 0:14:00.960 --> 0:14:03.400 Gonna get like sued for copyright infringement. 0:14:03.440 --> 0:14:05.960 I feel like if we well no, I mean, because 0:14:05.960 --> 0:14:08.600 it's our own voices and clearly we're off tuned. 0:14:08.440 --> 0:14:11.560 It was a remix.

But 0:15:14.240 --> 0:15:16.080 I found that first of all, it was like, I 0:15:16.080 --> 0:15:17.880 don't know, it didn't do anything, but I felt like 0:15:18.200 --> 0:15:19.880 it made me look like I had a bigger belly 0:15:19.880 --> 0:15:22.120 in clothes.

She's just given 0:16:01.960 --> 0:16:04.000 it to me. And honestly, I know how to cook 0:16:04.120 --> 0:16:07.080 fairly well, so just using these ingredients in better ways, 0:16:07.080 --> 0:16:10.840 you know. So that's been great. Even Superman he was like, so, 0:16:11.320 --> 0:16:13.240 I'm not on a diet. I was like, hush, she 0:16:13.280 --> 0:16:15.720 eat this food.
