Side Jawn Season 2 Episode 15: You're My Hero!
Intro:
Dennis: Welcome to the Side Jawn. I am your host Dennis the Ignoranthinkerspodcast Holmes, and I am joined by my co-host Sharon the Chocolate Girrrrrrl! (Say it right Dennis!)
How you doing Chocolate Girl?
Sharon:
Tells how she is and how her week went. Asks Dennis how he is doing?
Dennis: talks about his week.
Dennis: So let's talk about some things that have been going on. Aaron Judge hit his 62nd home run on October 4th, congratulations to him and the Yankees for being the team he's on. It set the new single-season American League record surpassing Roger Maris who set it in 1961. What you think about this Sharon as a Yankee fan?
Sharon: I love it! Love Judge. But here's the thing that bothers me. Rather than just letting him have his moment, people are using this time to bring up the whole controversy on whether or not he is the real Home Run King because of Barry Bonds who has the National League home run record but who was accused of using steroids at the time. I don't think it was ever proven, but he was accused so many folks think his records is tainted. My thing is now is NOT the time to even be discussing this. Judge is the American League home run king, and let Bonds be the National League home run king, end of story. What do you think Dennis?
Dennis: tells what he thinks about the controversy.
Dennis: Here's another thing I saw. Republican governors are sending migrants to Democratic cities to protest the high number of immigrants arriving on our southern border. Now they have sent them to places like the state of Washington and New York because they say the rate of illegal immigration has increased under President Biden's watch. What is really going on Sharon?
Sharon: They flew 50 migrants to Martha's Vineyard! What are they supposed to do in Martha's Vineyard??? A record number of illegal immigration arrests have happened at the southern border, more than 2 million. But it is not because Biden is president. It is due to the political and economic turmoil going on in Venezuela. Isn't it funny how this spiked in that country after Biden took office? Hmmmm. But anyway, Republican governors have decided to use human beings as props to make a political statement, not caring what happens to those people at all. They offer zero assistance to these people who usually have no money or clothing or anything. These are men, women and children. And speaking of children, this is another hypocrisy of the whole anti-abortion Republican movement. They say they are protecting children. NO they aren't. This is proof they do not care about children at all. But let me stop there because I don't want to get all upset so that's what's happening Dennis.
Dennis: gives his thoughts on it.
Dennis: So it's October. And Sharon you have some interesting things about October. Whatcha got?
Sharon:
Well, 6 US presidents in history were born in October, more than any other month. There's only 1 still living, and that's the great President Jimmy Carter.
October is the month the 5 day work week was first sanctioned in the US. Let's talk about this a second. I think we need to go down to a 4 day work week. As a nation, the US works the longest hours among industrialized nations. Why? It has been proven time and again when we get adequate rest we are more productive and productivity is what nets profits, so doesn't it make better sense to have a shorter work week?
What you think Dennis?
Dennis: tells what he thinks about it. They discuss it.
Dennis: October is also National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. I am sure we all know someone who has been affected by cancer and probably breast cancer. So we give our prayers out to everyone affected by this disease. Sharon, do you know anyone affected by this?
Sharon: Not only am I a survivor, one of my very good friends had it and ended up having to have a double mastectomy and a hysterectomy because of it.
