The Argument Against Bipartisanship

In this episode of The Chris and Andre Show, the guys wonder why people keep using Facebook and Instagram, go through ups and downs while discussing sports, review the Addams Family 2 and other pop culture pieces, and sink into the swamp to discuss Trump, DeSantis, and local school board protests.

(00:00:00) Intros

(00:01:18) Social Media - Facebook is in the news again for multiple reasons, including a massive outage last week (https://www.theverge.com/2021/10/4/22708989/instagram-facebook-outage-messenger-whatsapp-error) and a whistleblower that says they had research showing their product was harmful to some users and did nothing (https://www.cbsnews.com/news/facebook-whistleblower-frances-haugen-misinformation-public-60-minutes-2021-10-03/).

(00:35:18) Sports - Chris is excited to finally have an NC State Baseball player to root for (​​https://apnews.com/article/mlb-sports-los-angeles-san-francisco-baseball-83581d6871539a188e8a86249da7604d), Andre is frustrated that his Yankees lost (https://www.nytimes.com/2021/10/05/sports/baseball/yankees-red-sox-wild-card-playoff.html), the guys discuss Urban Meyer’s precarious predicament (https://buffalonews.com/sports/football/video-purportedly-showing-urban-meyer-out-at-bar-goes-viral/video_848cd92b-de68-50ba-ace3-6ad1ed1cf5c0.html), and Chris explains why he dislikes Dan Orlovsky so much (https://www.reddit.com/r/ESPN/comments/n3x85j/dan_orlovsky_is_bad_on_television/).

(00:59:47) Pop Culture - Chris went to see the Addams Family 2 (https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/the_addams_family_2) with his daughter and says it’s really just a movie for kids this time. Andre tried to watch Q-Force (https://www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/q_force) but just couldn’t get into it, in part due to the unexpected sex scene... this leads to a larger discussion of the quality of adult animation and the degradation of some shows over time.

The guys talk about how Saturday Night Live (SNL) is back, and with it, a story about Horatio Sanz (https://www.pastemagazine.com/comedy/saturday-night-live/horatio-sanz-sexual-assault-snl/) grooming and abusing teenage girls during his time on staff and the countless people who allegedly looked the other way.

(01:17:09) Politics - The guys discuss Trump’s position on running against DeSantis (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=69f7Yw5c86g), Chris believes he may have figured out the Republicans’ reason for being both anti-vaccine and anti-mask, Andre wonders what will come of a court ruling on Omarosa’s NDA (​​https://www.thedailybeast.com/donald-trumps-sprawling-use-of-ndas-now-threatens-to-humiliate-him-non-disclosure-agreement-omarosa), Chris takes issue with all the disasters facing California at the moment (https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2021/10/04/oil-spill-california-dead-wildlife-washes-ashore/5986916001/), and they both get confused by the mask-mandate protestors in Chris’s backyard (https://www.wect.com/2021/10/05/parents-storm-education-building-object-mask-mandate/).
