Just Shut Up and Brunch!

In the 10th (and rather extended and winded) episode of the 'Uninvited', Jerry is in rare "Ramble Jazz" form as he departs from his prepared notes almost from the very beginning as he waxes poetic on NBA and how the game is just better in 'The Bubble' (2:07) before going in on Major League Baseball Commissioner and the Houston Asterisks (known to everyone who loves cheating baseball teams as the Astros) (4:50).  Soon he finds his way back to where he intended to start, which is John Lewis but as he is prone to do Jerry uses the opportunity to go in on former President Bill Clinton and Joe Biden (he truly is a Democrat which means he is inadvertently sabotaging the candidate) (8:28).  His issue with the Clinton and Biden is the troubling trend of prominent white  Democrats telling people who is really black and who isn't OR who our heroes can be (10:45) while somehow paying Biden the high compliment of comparing him to a major Game of Thrones character (16:19) and offers his advice on who is VP pick should be (not Elizabeth Warren), while reaffirming his loyalty for Elizabeth Warren (18:02). This wouldn't be a show unless Jerry makes the case for universal health care (20:00) and how the struggle for equitable healthcare policy dates back to slavery (21:21) and then ties a nice little John Lewis bow on it (23:44) because he wanted to make sure this episode would be joyful and aspirational.   Before totally leaving this completely discombobulated part of the pod, Jerry takes a shot at the state of Oklahoma for its stance against the Black Lives Matter movement (25:18).  From there Jerry goes on to talk Georgia Summer Camps, Indiana schools and whether or not adults have ever met their own children as all of our policies regarding camps and school openings seem to suggest that we clearly haven't (28:50). Somehow, this pod lasts another 30 minutes from this point where he is talking about how teachers and parents are coping in the era of COVID-19 and the impact this will have on women in the workplace and at home (37:30).   Jerry also walks down memory lane to discuss how we used to give a damn about essential workers (39:31) before sending a RIP shoutout to a familiar face in television and movies (54:40). Apparently Jerry was inspired by 'Black is King' and went for the long form podcast that is just like Beyonce's video masterpiece sans video, a story arc, incredible music, Beyonce and a budget.  Like 'King', this episode is a blur and a tour de force that will make you go "what was that?" except you won't listen to this over and over again.
