I wish these people who had shows would use their creativity more and focus on entertaining the listeners instead of trying to be right all of the time or hit the right corporate/SJW buttons.
I am so sick of the fucking buttons.
I am also sick of preaching entertainers. Seriously, just shut the fuck up and dribble, or get someone else up there who can give us our fucking escape. I don't need you to be my Dad. I'd much rather have you be Bill Murray or Paul Newman - or at least try to bring some positive, humorous feelings into the equation. Ugh, imagine if we were lucky enough to have 80's Dahl ripping and roaring at a time like this? You thing Steve & Garry would have been shouting callers down? Nope, but they might make a few parody songs mocking them or pull some sweet prank stunts on them. Exactly what we need right now, but are not getting.
My kid had an out-of-state baseball practice today, and as I sat with a bunch of the parents on the sideline, one of the dads brought up the fact that they almost don't make any comedies anymore. Imagine if they released 'The Burbs' or 'Three Amigos' these days - where? Nowhere to be seen. The only comedies these days are rom-coms starring fat fucking Melissa McCarthy and fat fucking Amy Schumer. (
you trying to get me to like fat chicks? Sorry, ain't gonna work, Sam!) Beyond that and CGIfest superhero flicks, its all horror shit, apocalyptic shit, and downer shit. That's it. I was looking for a movie a few weeks ago and it stunned me how many of the new releases and shows were freakout or horror types. Walking Dead, Fear The Walking Dead, Get Out, The Hunt, and on and on. (
Jason Blum basically admits those are the only types of movies he puts up because of how cheap they are to make compared to how much he gets in return). But is there another, more sinister manipulation going on? If you think about it, have we been conditioned to just be expecting downer shit by the bullshit we have been fed through our entertainment? You bet your ass we have.
Ok, rant concluded, but it would be nice if someone would flip the script a bit. Until then its youtube podcasts all day - and these fuckers are long, sometimes 3 hours, so once you click, you ain't coming back to SCR, especially with no sports on to talk about.
