The Long Shot: Come Hell or High Water, Season 14 Episode 28
“Have We Ever Hugged?”
Another day, another episode. We got into a lot of stuff this week. Here are a few notes.
One thing we talked about a little was Lebron James’ shot to get the Lakers into the playoffs (and keep the Warriors out). It absolutely was pretty great.
Here are some of the guys at Fat Sal’s (including, apparently, Fat Sal himself) constructing a “sandwich” for the enjoyment of the massive masses.
“Alright, look, not fat enough. We need to add the fries and the jalapenos to the saandwich itself, first of all, and then like two more meats, some fried cheese, and a couple more grilled veggies. And it’ll still be basically skeletal.”
I tried to find a good clip from The Bad News Bears, but if you look for them you’ll find the language, used for comedy purposes at the time, is comepletely unacceptable nowadays. So instead, here’s another clip of the great Walter Matthau from another incredible, culture-impacting movie.
And finally, I railed a little about how Tucker Carlson had as his guest Jonathan Fahey, who Tucker calls the former director of ICE, which I guess is technically true but also technically true is you could call him the former senior administration official acting as the Director of ICE who resigned after thirteen days. If you want to see a combination of leaps in logic, exaggeration, lying, and sneering contempt for anybody with a soul, watch these two chat. Fun! I know it’s irritating, but I do recommend watching it, based on the fact that there’s a good chance that Tucker Carlson will at least run for president in 2024, and a decent possibility he’ll get elected. He’s definitely gearing up for it. Anger! Grievance! Insults! Hate! Why not go back to the same playbook that worked so well in 2016, and really pretty goddam well in 2020 and beyond?
What did I miss? What would you have added notes for? Put it in the comments down below.
See you guys next week.
