Intro – 5/5/14
Tonight, I tell viewers about the home state of Thomas Jefferson. Yes, Santa Clause there is a Virgina. Then, I check in on the state of racism in America, after double-checking that my car doors are locked. And, my guest E.O. Wilson is a biologist who says humans have a lot to learn from ants. But when I excrete and odor trail to find my way home, I get arrested. Sony has developed a 185-terrabyte cassette. Finally, your mixed tape can include two ‘Phish’ songs.
Nancy Pelosi’s Cinco de Mayo Celebration
- I apologize. I didn’t mean to get past your chanting. I just thought I could sneak past the castle gates of your love.
- Unfortunately, one person is making a cinco-demockery of American values. Casa minority leader Nancy Pelosi. In honour of this of this year’s Cinco de Mayo, she released a statement saying:
- Oh, that is ridiculous. We already do so much on Cinco de Mayo to acknowledge their contributions. We drink not uno, but Dos Equis. And many American’s are eating tacos today, even though, it’s not Tuesday.
- Pelosi really stepped in it when she said:
Better Know a District – Virginia’s 3rd
Stephen: Robert Scott … Do you have a last name?
Robert: Ah yes, Scott.
Stephen: Robert Scott Scott.
Robert: No, Robert Cortez Scott.
Stephen: Oh, Robert Cortez Scott. Are you Hispanic?
Robert: No, my grandfather was a Filipino.
Stephen: Oh, I’m sorry. Aloha.
Stephen: Richmond has been ranked the third most tattooed city in the United States. Congressman, do you have any tats?
Robert: I don’t –
Stephen: I mean obviously not where I can see, but from the neck down, is it like a Yakuza?
Robert: No.
Stephen: Did you think about getting a American flag tattoo? To show you love for America and your love for your contituents.
Robert: No.
Stephen: No? What do you have against the American flag?
Robert: I don’t have anything against the American flag.
Stephen: You won’t put it on your body.
Robert: I don’t want a tattoo.
Stephen: I have a tattoo of Ronald Reagan, wearing a cowboy hat, riding a panther, coming up out of my butt crack.
Robert: I will take your word for it.
Stephen: I’m not big on air traffic controllers. I let the free market determine who gets to land.
Stephen: Okay, so the water is coming to attack us [by rising sea levels], and you want to protect the water? Whose side are you on?
Robert: I, I don’t –
Stephen: You don’t have a response. If I’ve knocked you back on your heels that’s okay. It happens all the time in these interviews.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar on Racism and Ghosts
- L.A. Clippers owner and man who eats only one side of the black and white cookie, Donald Sterling.
- I believe racism goes away naturally if you stop talking about it. Just like STDs.
- I was especially hurt this Sunday, to see the tallest friend of the show, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar on ‘This Week with George Stephanopoulos’ going after whitey.
George Stephanopoulos: What about the underlying issue that the country is still struggling with lingering racist?
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar: Well, this is a problem. I did a little bit of research. More whites believe in ghosts, than believe in racism.
- All white people believe in ghosts, and don’t believe in racism. Even if that is true, let’s look on the bright side here. Ghosts give white people something to be afraid of. If I wake up in the middle of the night and hear things rattling around downstairs, I got two options. Either it’s a ghost or it’s a black guy.
- We both know if you [Kareem Abdul-Jabbar] saw a shrieking spectral figure gliding towards you on a sidewalk, you’d cross to the other side of the street. Or if the apparition of a Victorian child moves into your neighbour’s house and wouldn’t stop pointing at a bleeding closet door. I think you would worry about your property value dropping.
Interview – Edward O. Wilson
Stephen: Why ants? Did the Queen squirt some pheromones on you or something? Why did you turn it into a drone for ants?
Edward: Why not ants? They’re the most abundant creatures on Earth.
Stephen: Lot a Chinese people.
Stephen: We you a child when you were first drawn to them?
Edward: Yeah, I began I guess as a child.
Stephen: We all do.
Stephen: God wants biodiversity? He’s killed off a few things. “May 5, 2014 – Edward O. Wilson”, out of 5 based on 1 ratings.
