Chapter 1: What are the top news stories discussed in this episode?

84.709 - 88.932 Matt Jones

And so, Drew, here, first of all, welcome to the Matt Jones Show.

0

89.372 - 94.835 Matt Jones

I'm excited to be here. Hopefully, I don't know if I want to create a national scene like your first guest, but if it gets to that point.

94.855 - 118.223 Matt Jones

Dude, he got in like, well, I mean, he said Levitard was shocked to see a black person be smart and he thought it was like a fish riding a bicycle. You know, I knew when he said that, I knew what was coming. I just – I know when things – I was surprised it got found so quick, but it is – and in the Levitard world, it is the discussion.

118.263 - 126.393 Matt Jones

If you were to go to Reddit and look at the Dan Levitard show, it's all discussion about what Bomani said. Yeah.

0

126.533 - 135.385 Matt Jones

Yeah, I don't know if I have anything like that in me to get that kind of attention, but I am excited to get the band back together here under your new format. Just wait until you hear what he says about Mike Greenberg.

136.266 - 160.368 Matt Jones

So I decided, you know, we can't do sports gambling picks. So I decided we'd do something every few weeks on this show where you and I take like the top 10 news stories that are going on and we give our thoughts on them. Do you like that idea? I like that idea. Kind of like, you know, there's a lot of these comedy bros that sit and talk about things, but they're idiots most of the time.

160.869 - 187.377 Matt Jones

And we are only kind of idiots. Definitely comedy bros, though. Listen, you should see me at the mothership in Austin. Now, the other voice you hear there is Billy. And I like to incorporate Billy. And so we have Drew Franklin. This is Billy Rutledge. So here's what I decided to do, Drew. I'm going to have it to where Billy picks the top 10 news stories that he believes are

188.72 - 192.482 Matt Jones

are worth us discussing. And we'll call the show, when we do it, Top 10.

192.582 - 199.406 Matt Jones

I like that. I also like the not knowing any direction Billy might go. He's a mysterious guy. So here's what I told Billy.

Chapter 2: What is the significance of Trump's pardons?

2626.205 - 2632.669 Matt Jones

Bickering and joking. You cannot bicker and joke. You can bicker or you can joke.

0

2633.269 - 2636.191 Drew Franklin

I agree. I think that reveals to me it was obviously a fight.

0

2638.123 - 2643.31 Matt Jones

Well, I don't think I've ever had that happen. Certainly not on Air Force One.

0

2643.33 - 2651.02 Drew Franklin

Not a Louisville fan ever shoved you in the face like that? Drew's gotten punched from behind before. Well, I've said, I've told you. You've had a couple close encounters.

0

2651.321 - 2657.146 Matt Jones

I had an encounter where I... It was just a love tap. You did the move that she did. Yeah, a little bit.

2657.187 - 2658.067 Matt Jones

Miserous Macron did.

2658.087 - 2667.816 Matt Jones

It wasn't that long ago. It was Tuesday. And it was Emmanuel Macron's wife. What's next?

2668.689 - 2692.056 Drew Franklin

All right, let's go back online. The United States likes to be the number one, or likes to be number one in everything. This will make you happy if you're one of those people. Australian linguist scoured the web to better understand how people might employ naughty words in their written communications. Over 20 countries were surveyed, 340,000 websites, and 1.9 billion words were analyzed.

2692.076 - 2704.366 Drew Franklin

597 words, vulgar words, were highlighted. And what did we learn? The United States sets the bar for the dirtiest mouth on the Internet. Followed by Great Britain, Australia, Singapore, New Zealand, Malaysia, and Ireland.
