Sometimes it sucks to care, you know, it really It’s actually I’m I’m in a bad mood I’m in a bad mood because I care because I think it’s a question right now of when not if unless unless significant laws change which would involve a Different makeup of the Supreme Court, which obviously will take years to happen That it’s a question of when not if a bad person as president will explicitly and even publicly commit crimes and say well They’re in support of my official duties.
So I’m allowed I think that’s really bad and depressing.
I think that’s totalitarianism and I think it’s borderline inevitable And I have never more seriously thought about hey, maybe I have to move the real problem is where the hell you go There’s a lot of not great places So I am in a bad mood, can I do a fun your daily Lex, that’s a great question Let’s find out my guess is I have no idea what Your daily Lex So I’m trying to avoid it but I was thinking and this is gonna sound Crazy to some and right on to others.
I think but like I remember so vividly In the horrible time after the horrible day of 9-11 2001 the people wondered.
Hey, will we ever do comedy again?
And like obviously we’re gonna have comedy again And of course comedy came back and there’s some really cool interesting meaningful pieces of entertainment history Of when some of those shows came back on the air and how they approached comedy Even at Rudy Giuliani that human garbage pile on SNL Lorne Michaels said Can we be funny again and Rudy’s line was why start now?
That’s funny.
That’s good.
It’s a good joke.
I remember it But man, it’s hard to think about like doing anything When you think there’s a not even a non-zero chance, but a high probability of your country just going down the toilet Like we’re currently depending on presidents not being horrible people.
And I think even if you Voted for Don which I don’t understand You kind of know he’s a horrible person Even if you’re a big fan of the guy like we’ve the whole system was built on Well, at least we won’t have horrible people in there so they won’t do horrible things and now we know we can and will have Horrible people especially now that we’re giving you carte blanche to do crime Yeah, so far.
I haven’t made this episode funny.
So I’m gonna use some dad jokes.
I think of all The inventions that you know have come about in the past called 200 years The the dry erase board is the most remarkable I’ve said that joke to a couple people recently and none of them got that on camera I’ve said that joke to a couple people recently and none of them got that I was making a joke and they were like what?
There’s better inventions and I’m like no Remarkable.
So if you were one of those people just now Hopefully you’ve you’ve put it together now I was wondering Why the Frisbee kept getting bigger and bigger and then it hit me I don’t know I I Was I was gonna have a date we were supposed to meet at the gym and then my date canceled I just don’t think we’re gonna work out To cartoonists had a contest It was a draw.
I Like that.
I laughed at it myself.
That’s amazing.
Do you know why?
Swedish battleships have barcodes on them so they can Scandinavian Friend of mine showed me a pencil that had an eraser on each end.
I was like, this is pointless that one works on a lot of levels you guys a friend of mine works at a furniture repair shop and was Seriously injured he fell into the upholstery machine He’s fully recovered You know what?
You call a frog who parks illegally?
toad I Think my favorite part of these jokes is that they’re making me laugh as I remember Did you hear that Horrible story about a kidnapping at school.
It was fine.
He woke up a few minutes later okay, one more you’re welcome a Guy walks into a bar and he sees three slabs of meat hanging from the ceiling And he’s like what’s that about and the bartender?
It’s like well isn’t if you can jump up and slap any of those slabs of meat you get free drinks for the rest of the Night, but if you try and you miss you have to pie if to buy everyone’s drinks for the next half hour Don’t you want to do it?
I think somebody says no the stakes are too high Lex
