SPEAKER 02 :
I think Monday. I think Monday’s looking pretty good. Okay. That’s five minutes ago, so I think Monday looks pretty good.
SPEAKER 01 :
Okay, that would be awesome, because as with so many things, I have been the problem. Not so much me, but just circumstances, because while the company has figured out, wow, who is going to be Chris DeGaulle’s successor? That has given me Tuesdays and Wednesdays of getting up in the middle of the night to go do that show, which I have loved. It’s great. I’m always there to be there for people. But that makes it kind of hard to do that show, this show, and then, you know, pass out in the middle of a podcast that we do in the middle of the day. But if all that is about to, those decks are about to be cleared in anticipation of that, because I kind of had a feeling of the same vibe. We now have M&M Extra on Twitter. M-A-N-D-M-E-X-T-R-A-M-N-M Extra on Twitter. Eminem Extra Podcast on Facebook. We’re going to be putting episodes there. Indeed, we’re days away from starting that. So finally, finally, finally, finally, it’s this, only untethered to the clock, whatever we want to do. So look out. Here it comes.
SPEAKER 02 :
Yeah, we’re going to kind of let loose a little bit. We’re not going to have any time constraints. We’ll be able to do a deep dive. You talked about towering figures of entertainment. Michael Jackson, of course, was a towering figure of entertainment. And I finally saw the movie last night that you and Lisa saw last weekend. Wow. Wow. What a movie. And I saw it in, I don’t know what theater you guys saw it in, but I saw it in IMAX. And it dawned on me, they’ve got now the seats are vibrating with the IMAX. What? Yeah, the seats vibrate in sync with the music.
SPEAKER 01 :
I mean, is that like on purpose seat vibration?
SPEAKER 02 :
Oh, yeah. Or their speakers are just so good? No, no, no, no. That’s the technology now. They’ve got the seats that are bouncing. I don’t know if I need that. It was a lot. I don’t. It was a little sensory overload. But, boy, the kid that played him, he’s his nephew? What son is that?
SPEAKER 01 :
Jermaine? He is Jermaine’s son. And did you notice the moment that almost took my breath away? Because they’ve got the really young, the kid playing young, young, young Michael. He’s great. He’s great, and you get the reminder of what those 1970s, early-mid-70s Jackson 5 records, how absolutely great they were. ABC, I’ll Be There, just fantastic records. And then they jump a few years to where Michael is an adult, and you see the back of him, and he turns around in what I guess is a record company executive suite or conference room, and there’s Jamar playing Michael. I gasped. It was like seeing a ghost. The family resemblance is amazing. It is a simply spectacular film, and I just love it.
SPEAKER 02 :
You know, it’s just a feel-good movie. If you appreciate that soundtrack, and that’s kind of the music that gives you fond memories, I want to give you a little fond memory music story. Are you superstitious, Mark? Okay, I kind of am, and let me, just on certain things. And I’ve shared with the audience over the years my lucky song. When I was a kid, when I was 20, 21 years old, and I got my first full-time radio gig, and I got in my old pale blue beat-up VW Bug after they gave me the shift. I got the 10 to 2 shift at a station in Ohio. I was 21 years old, and on the radio, I was over the moon. The joy I experienced that moment, and I couldn’t wait to get home to call my mom, and I was just thrilled, right? Right. Well, the greatest American hero came on the radio.
SPEAKER 01 :
Remember the TV show?
SPEAKER 02 :
Yeah, believe it or not. Right, right. And for some reason, that song has stuck with me my whole life. And every time that song comes on, I’m telling you, good things happen. In fact, it became kind of a special song for my Denise. She would play that for me on special occasions. Yesterday, Eric plays that song in rotation when I’m on the show. And I said, I told the story on the air about this is my lucky song. Every time I hear this song, good things happen. I leave the studio. The Supreme Court gets rid of racist gerrymandering.
SPEAKER 01 :
It’s all because of June Scarberry.
SPEAKER 02 :
I mean, and then the governor here in Florida turns around and in two days’ time wipes out Virginia’s gains of four seats. I mean, it was like everything good. James Comey got arrested. I mean, it’s like, believe it or not.
SPEAKER 01 :
I’m walking on air.
SPEAKER 02 :
I mean, it’s my lucky song. I’m telling you, on election day, I’m going to play it. I mean, 1981. But what a day yesterday. And, you know, I know we get too fixated on what other shows do, but how weird is it that in a monumental bombshell Supreme Court, decision that could have implications for years to come. This is a huge deal. And by the way, it might just unleash the Kraken because maybe now the Democrats are going to turn California 100% blue. Who knows what they might try to do. Anyway, it’s a big deal. The Five, the most watched show on Fox News, I don’t think they even mentioned it.
SPEAKER 01 :
How could that be? They were too busy letting Harold Ford try to get away with suggesting that political violence goes both ways. It’s the weirdest thing.
SPEAKER 02 :
They make decisions over there sometimes because I really love the show. I mean, it’s a go-to. And I even tweeted before 5 o’clock, I said, Eastern, 4 o’clock Central, I said, hope Jessica’s there today because I want to see her face. Because she was having a bad day. But she wasn’t there yesterday. She couldn’t even handle it.
SPEAKER 01 :
Harold ain’t having the best of days. It’s like every day he shows up and tries. Harold is a good-hearted, decent, center-left guy. The kind of Democrat that the party would do well to run. A Fetterman, a Harold Ford Jr., a Bill Maher, classical liberal that’s not crazy. They would do so well. It would scare me a little if they started running folks like that. And yet Harold, I think, doesn’t want to reach the realization that it is his side that is the problem predominantly right now. So he just rolls out this noxious, ridiculous both sides-ism just to get slam dunked by Gutfeld. And these guys genuinely like each other. They are in Bible study together with Jesse Waters. Love to be in that room for that. And it’s just it’s like Harold just it doesn’t mean that it’s you. We’re not talking about you. He probably has tons of Democrat friends and doesn’t feel like he would feel like he’s throwing them under the bus.
SPEAKER 02 :
Well, that and it’s also hard to probably admit that it’s your side that’s the problem. That’s a difficult thing. That’s a bitter pill to swallow. And you mentioned Greg Gutfeld. Do you hear what your BFF Chris Cuomo called him last night? Cuomo was called him. He called him. Cuomo is talking to Bill O’Reilly and O’Reilly was calling out Jimmy Kimmel. And Cuomo said, well, look at Greg Gutfeld over at Fox News. He’s a toxic little troll. A toxic little troll. And O’Reilly kind of laughed a little bit. And Cuomo was trying to make the equivalency. He was trying to compare Jimmy Kimmel to Greg Gutfeld. Greg Gutfeld does a political show on Fox News.
SPEAKER 01 :
And is funny. Well, that’s subjective, obviously. I mean, some people… I mean, it is, and it’s nothing political about that. Jon Stewart, totally. Jon Stewart’s a funny guy. Is funny, exactly. You’re right.
SPEAKER 02 :
Jimmy Kimmel is useless. And I got to thinking about why Cuomo would say such a thing, because he knows now you’re going to, now he’s invited.
SPEAKER 01 :
They’re not on the same time, are they?
SPEAKER 02 :
I don’t know, but now he’s inviting the humiliation that he’s going to get from Gutfeld. Now he knows he’s going to get dragged by all of the Gutfeld Fox News fans. So why would he do that? Well, you know why he would do that? Because he wants the attention. He wants the attention. News Nation, I mean, you’ve been on there. But they’re a little noticed network in the cable news world, to be honest with you. And he wants the attention. He wants the focus. And I guess any attention is good attention. I wonder often about people that make these choices. How about the United Airlines pilot? Did you see the guy, a pilot for United Airlines, who changed his Facebook cover page or his profile page, whatever you call it. Oh, no. and put on 86-47. He put the picture.
SPEAKER 01 :
Oh, for crying out loud.
SPEAKER 02 :
Now, why would a pilot, this pilot now, he’s already been, they apparently suspended him. Guy looks like he’s about 55 years old. He’s probably got a lifetime career as a pilot. You see these folks do this. I’ve asked you this a million times, and it’s like, why do they do this? They can’t help themselves.
SPEAKER 01 :
It is – excuse me so much, but there’s just no synonym. It’s ideological diarrhea. They just can’t restrain themselves. It just has to come out, and they can’t stop it. Here’s this picture.
SPEAKER 02 :
Matt Dugan, he’s a pilot for United, and he’s got the – there he is with the stripes on his shoulder, big smile. According to, you know, the AP, United is investigating – I mean, how would you like to be on a flight with a guy?
SPEAKER 01 :
Investigate it. From him to Comey, and this gets really interesting with all the Comey and Kimmel stuff, I’m really being shoved into I don’t care land on both of them. I know why. Do you think James Comey was literally threatening the president? No. It was a stupid and noxious and really disgusting thing to spread and to disseminate the same thing to the pilot. But wait a minute.
SPEAKER 02 :
Wait a minute. But you’re giving, wait a minute, you’re giving him a pass on something. If somebody jokes about a bomb in the line at TSA, you’re not literally saying you’re going to blow up the plane. You’re going to get arrested. If James Comey is posting 8647, which is absolutely a slang for killing or taking somebody out. And by the way, did you see what the Justice Department is doing? Now they’re seizing the assets from the book he sold because he was selling books. And they’re saying you’re profiting from a threat against the president. You don’t have to literally threaten the president, Mark. You can’t joke about, but you can’t joke about threatening the president.
SPEAKER 01 :
Apparently you can, and all kinds of people do. And if you have a brewery in Wisconsin, you can make coffee mugs with a red tie on the ground and anticipate his death. Maybe if they were going after them, I’d say, all right, now we can get to Comey’s stupid seashells. As far as your TSA line thing, if you’re about to get on a plane, there’s a certain urgency and you’re in that thing. I don’t want to hear the B word come out of anybody’s mouth. In the line. Bomb.
SPEAKER 02 :
No, but Mark, you’re making it out like it has to be a legitimate pending threat. It does not. If a cop hears me talk to you and joke about killing the president, chances are I’m going to get a call. You can’t get away with this stuff. It’s enough already that we’re numb to this crap.
SPEAKER 01 :
I don’t know.
SPEAKER 02 :
I just hate it. Now, let’s not bury the lead, though. I’ve got to read one great post about this huge Supreme Court 6-3 ruling yesterday. Race-based districting is now unconstitutional. But here’s the part everybody’s missing. Democrats don’t have a House majority without those court-ordered maps. And this guy wrote this, and I want to just share this real quick in the final seconds we have left. A dozen of their current seats for the Democrats sit in districts that only exist because federal courts forced them states to draw them. Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, every one has at least one Democrat seat in a court-created black majority district. Well, their House margin mark is four seats. SCOTUS just made 12 of their 213 seats legally redrawable. Let me tell you something. All… All bets are off now. We’re going to talk to a guy today who’s an attorney general candidate out of Georgia who’s saying we’ve got full steam ahead. Georgia, Mississippi, let’s go. Come on, let’s go. And how about Florida? DeSantis got it done in two days. I mean, two days. We’ve got governors that are dithering and navel-gazing. And DeSantis said, let me roll my sleeves up and get this done.
SPEAKER 01 :
Man of action.
SPEAKER 02 :
It was a huge victory yesterday. Believe it or not, I’m walking on air. And I think Monday, you’ve got to follow us on X, M&M Extra.
SPEAKER 01 :
Let everybody know.
SPEAKER 02 :
Well, you’ll know when we know. We’ll know probably later today.
