Welcome to another episode of the Modern Moron dated October 10th 2022, which means we’ll be talking about events from at least two months ago.
I’m going to try something new in that I’m not spending so much time on this episode. My guest is the Senator which is like Conan O’brien saying his guest is Andy Richter, but he brings up a couple of things with no real background or insight or explanation. He just saw a show for 30 seconds which is more than enough to have an opinion about, whereas I take the due diligence of watching for at least 5 minutes. We recorded on Friday and I’m publishing on Monday.
Here are a few things we cover:
Gas Prices - Especially in California where there are stricter environmental laws and also, summer and winter blends. The Winter blend usually isn’t available until November but apparently there will be an early harvest of the gasoline trees out here and they will start in early to mid October.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom approved the switch from summer-blend gas to cheaper winter-blend gas. He wrote a letter to the California Air resources Board requesting the switch and here is a quote:
“In light of the dramatic increase in gas prices that California is experiencing, we should not wait until the end of the month to start distributing or to ramp up production of our winter-blend gasoline. Also, please keep producing the special higher octane fuel I need for my batmobile. Thank you.” That is from a letter from Newsom to the California Air Resources Board.
Something else to note about gas prices in California is that we have to refine our own gas due to those restrictions. There are no pipelines running from East to West at least not west of the Rocky mountains to my extensive, extensive knowledge.
Governor De Santis sending immigrants to Martha’s Vinyard - yes, this story is extremely old but the topic isn’t and I don’t really have a problem with it. I still don’t care for De Santis and using unfortunate people who are looking for a better life to make a point is not okay, but I don’t see why all of the lower 48 states can’t participate in sharing the load of the influx of immigrants at our border. Boston is a sanctuary city that is two thousand miles away from the Mexican border. After a quick and uniformed check of the immigration statistics for Boston from The Immigrant Learning Center dot-org, the top ten immigrant groups are: China, The Dominican Republic, India, Haiti, Brazil, El Salvador, Vietnam, Canada, Guatemala and Cape Verde which is a group of islands in the Atlantic.
The Senator mentions that he enjoys Skinny dipping in his pool - ew.
For some reason he reminds us numerous times that he has a “second home” up in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Remember when Pee Wee’s Playhouse used to have a secret word and when someone said it, everyone would scream? Today’s word is a phrase and it’s “second home”
Flavored Bourbon. Both the type you buy and the kind you can make at home! That’s a fun home project.
We talk a little about Football and why one might boycott it, and also news sources. For purposes of this show I usually site the source but if I don’t and I say I read something, it probably means I read it on the Associated Press, Reuters or the Wall Street Journal. If I say I heard something, it was probably NPR.
And then… here’s a great topic for two irrelevant, pasty old white guys to talk about: Kanye West. The Senator has gotten in the habit of bringing up a topic without doing any research and by research I mean reading the whole article or following up on some basic who, what, where stuff and then he goes off half cocked and then says, “I don’t know, I thought it was interesting, and you should look that up and blah, blah, blah.” Well, I watched some of the interview between Kanye West and Tucker Carlson and I can tell you I’m not really interested in either
