The Welcome to Media Roots Radio. This is Abby Martin.

This is Robbie Martin. Welcome back Robbie Martin. Welcome back everybody.

Welcome to hell. Damn, it seems like every month just the world keeps getting more intense.

I just keep coming to a head, Robbie. It's pretty overwhelming the state of the world today, isn't it?

Yeah, it really is.

You know, the makers of Grand Theft Auto said that they wouldn't even know what to do now in this

era to sort of capture the essence of it. They're mostly talking about Trump. You know,

they're taking the cop out that they couldn't,

they didn't know how to satire Trump or whatever. But in a way, I was trying to picture

what a Grand Theft Auto game would look like to satire this era. And I agree with them only in the

sense that it would be very hard to satire the actual era we're living in now and to make it more

ridiculous than like what's actually happening like it is it is really truth is stranger than fiction

like right now it still feels that way still feels like it's getting weirder and weirder every day

well like i remember i was seeing joe rogan's stand-up comedy once and he was saying you know people

say to comedians oh must be just you know incredibly easy to satirize trump and to make jokes about

the era that we're living in and he's like no i mean he's like trump is a kaleidoscope he's never even

just a stationary thing it's like it's always changing.

The rhetoric is always like one step ahead of everyone.

And so it is really difficult to encapsulate in a joke or any sort of comedy.

I mean, look how fucking pathetic Saturday Night Live is in a daily show.

It's like all they can do is just the most bottom of the barrel, generic, babyish humor.
