Elon Musk is the richest man in the world and he's hosting Saturday Night Live this weekend. What s his crime? Is he a racist? Or a socialist? Or is he a liberal? Or something else entirely? I mean, come on, it's not like he's some sort of right wing activist, he's not even a conservative. He's just a guy who thinks outside of the box and is willing to question the woke powers that be. That's what makes him controversial, right? And it's amazing that comedy has fallen so far, how pathetic our society has become in its pursuit of the wokeness that we're all trying to live up to. Maybe he can be the catalyst for comedy to return to its former glory? or maybe he can just be a comedian like Bill Cosby was back in the 70s and 80s, when they were actually funny. Let's see what happens this weekend on SNL, shall we? (Note: I'm old enough to remember when SNL was actually funny, but I'm new enough to realize how far we've fallen in the last 20 years that comedy is no longer funny, and that it needs to be funny again. Sorry about that.) I don't know, but it's a good thing it's been a long time coming, and hopefully it'll get back to where it used to be, and we'll figure it out soon. Let's talk about it in a new episode of Thick & Thin, y'all! -Jon Soro Jon (Jon) . . . Jon . Jon's new book: "Wokeness" is out now, and it's out in paperback is out on Amazon, and you can buy it on amazon now! Jon has a free copy of the book out now. You can find it here: bit.ly/tweet me a copy of his book, if you're looking for the book? Jon s new book is out in the book: if you want to buy it, Jon's book is also out now: it's on amzn. Jon is a good one, Jon s book is on it's also on the road, and he'll give me a review of it, and I'll give you a shoutout on my insta: here's the link to the book, too if you do and you're interested in it's good enough to review it.
00:00:10.000I'm perhaps a little older than some of you, but I'm old enough to remember when Saturday Night Live was actually funny.
00:00:16.000And the fact that having Elon Musk on there is somehow controversial is truly amazing.
00:00:22.000And it shows you how far comedy has fallen, how pathetic our society has become, sort of pursuing the wokeness.
00:00:30.000I mean, think about it. This is maybe the richest man in the world at the moment.
00:00:35.000Someone who's putting things into space as a private company, able to do what these governments of the world have been trying to do for a long time at a fraction of the cost.
00:00:50.000I mean, someone who wants to talk about, you know, sending people to Mars.
00:00:54.000You know, honestly, one of the great minds of modern time.
00:01:00.000That he's controversial, that he doesn't just mimic The leftist talking points at all times.
00:01:06.000He doesn't just copy them blindly because he's able to actually think outside of the box and come up with his own solution.
00:01:14.000Again, I don't think he's a conservative.
00:01:15.000I think he believes in things like free speech, which most Americans used to believe in.
00:01:20.000But, quote, due to the controversial nature of the host, it's understood that the SNL cast members aren't being forced to appear on this week's episode.
00:01:31.000They don't have to go to work because they're worried that Someone may hurt their feelings.
00:01:35.000Imagine what like the 1970s SNL cast back then, who knows if they've gotten woke since then, pressured by Hollywood and the other clowns.
00:02:37.000I imagine that the 70s cast of SNL would kick today's SNL's ass Just for being crybabies and snowflakes because it's sort of amazing what one of those great institutions and how far they have fallen.
00:02:50.000That today, comedy is essentially censored, in some cases outlawed in the sense that if you go to a certain place, you'll just get canceled.
