Does anyone know what this means?
HAPPY BIRTHDAY STEPHEN! They didn’t mention his birthday on the show, but I personally am hoping the audience sang to him before the show. If anyone was at the taping, a reporT would be lovely!
Pope Francis’s Crusade Against Capitalism
Who would’ve imagined that something Bill O’Reilly said on his show would turn out to be incorrect?
Stephen is a big fan of his faith and capitalism, but according to Pope Francis, and that book known as The Bible, idolatry of money is wrong.
- My faith is so strong, doctors have called it a Messiah Complex. Not too shabby.
- I love the invisible hand of the market so much, I let it get to third base.
Bill O’Reilly has said that the far left has distorted Pope Francis’ words and he says the Pope wouldn’t condone the government stepping in with a plan to redistribute wealth. Bill says, “I can tell you with certainty that Pope Francis opposes that form of tyranny.”
BREAKING NEWS: Pope Francis condones redistribution of wealth.
- Son of a Bishop! The Pope is a socialist!
Stephen comes to accept this when he realizes “Jesus was a carpenter, that’s why he’s holding a hammer, but what’s in his other hand?
Stephen has to decide whether to worship money or Jesus, so he flips a coin.
- There you have it, it came up money.
#BringBackOurGirls
Stephen discusses the new hashtag that doesn’t have anything to do with him getting fired, and discusses the right wing media’s attempts to deflate the effort.
The hashtag was launched when the parents of the girls had given up on the Nigerian government.
- Evidently, Nigeria has a government. I knew they had a prince, I keep emailing him money. Why doesn’t he do something?
- I love internet memes, after all the word meme is just ‘me’ twice.
- Even Michelle Obama jumped on the hashtwagon.
Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, George Will and others have taken to social media and TV to denounce the effort. Surprise!
- You do not launch a twitter campaign to rescue kidnapped daughters, you send in Liam Neeson. #particularsetofskills.
#BringBackOurGirls – Rosemary Nyirumbe
Sister Rosemary is the subject of a book called Sewing Hope and she is the director of St. Monica’s tailoring center in Uganda. She works with women who have been abducted to try to get their lives back.
She believes that hashtag activism is the best thing that people can do. We need to shout more to be heard.
Stephen asks about what else we can do to help.
Sister Rosemary: If we pretend that we are not listening, it will continue.
Stephen: What if we don’t pretend, what if we just don’t listen at all? Hear me out, because it makes me sad and it’s happening in Africa, which is thousands of miles away. Why should I be sad for something that’s happening thousands of miles away, when there are things at home to be sad about?
Sister Rosemary: If you cannot be sad because it’s happening in Africa, which is part of the humanity, I would feel like jabbing you.
Stephen: You, a nun would punch me!
Sister Rosemary: Yeah, I would.
Stephen: Am I allowed to punch you back?
Sister Rosemary: No.
Stephen: No? How is that fair?
Sister Rosemary: Because I am going to punch you and I will win.
Even though she wants a peaceful end to the crisis, she still thinks punching Stephen would be the most peaceful way at the moment to solve his problem.
Koch Brothers vs. The Columbus Zoo
The Koch bros and their Americans for Prosperiy group helped to defeat a measure that would’ve raised property taxes in order to help the Columbus Zoo.
The Columbus Zoo is where Jack Hanna lives…works, sorry. He doesn’t live there. No, right?
- [Hanna is] America’s foremost expert in convincing TV hosts to let animals pee-pee on them.
When Stephen said that all I could think was, Stephen, you’re going to have to be one of those hosts now.
The Koch group sent out mailers to Franklin County residents stating that their property taxes would be going up by 105%. Hell, I’d vote no on that, too. Except that the actual increase was 0.76%, or $23 per resident.
The Zoo said they would try again in November. So Stephen made an ad for the Koch Bros., complete with scary music, and Stephen narrating in his scary “the world’s going to end” voice. The Columbus Zoo is apparently filled with foreigners getting high on Eucalyptus and sex fiends on “Ollamacare” (hey, that should be my healthcare plan!)
Foreigners getting free housing and sitting around all day getting high on Eucalyptus.
The Black Keys
Stephen: You guys are known for your concise blues rock. Your first album had like two minute songs on it, right?
Patrick Carney: Yeah, I guess two or three [minutes] maybe.
Stephen: This one’s got like seven minute songs on it, with two minute guitar leads. Is this the Phish-ification of The Black Keys? Did Trey Anastasio get to you? Why so long?
Patrick: I don’t know. Apparently, we made the record wrong, according to Pitch Fork.
Stephen: Those guys are good. Those Pitch Fork guys are good.
Patrick: Our primitive neanderthal minds expanded slightly and contextualized four to seven minute songs this time around.
Stephen: It’s good for the DJs, because that’s enough time to go take a dump.
Stephen: A little influenced by The Grateful Dead, I understand.
Dan Auerbach: Yeah, that was the first show I ever saw with my dad – was The Grateful Dead at the Ridgefield Colosseum. Cleveland, Ohio.
Stephen: Good show?
Dan: I was like 13 years old.
Stephen: Did they do “Terrapin Station?”
Dan: I had no idea what they were doing.
Stephen: How was Jerry? Was Jerry good?
Dan: I just remember that when this guy with white hair and a big white beard got on the stage everyone screamed. Not even when he was playing. Just like if you saw him pop around the backstage area, everyone would start screaming. I don’t know, I was scared out of my mind.
Patrick: Dan thought he was Santa Claus.
Stephen: You thought that Jerry was Santa Claus?
Patrick: I think so.
Dan: No, I didn’t.
Stephen: Let’s just be quiet for a second. Let’s just be silent with one another for a second. Can we do that? Let’s just wait for something to arise that we want to talk about. Alright? Let’s just let it happen.
Stephen: …
Dan: …
Patrick: …
Stephen: Patrick, you’re looking good. You been working out?
Patrick: Nope.
