=== Shark Week Diversity Debate (02:55) ===

[00:00:00]  Well, folks, I thought it was fake.
[00:00:04]  I thought it was fake, but it's real.
[00:00:07]  Apparently, according to The Washington Post, Shark Week lacks diversity and over-represents men named Mike, scientists say.
[00:00:19]  So the Washington Post said that researchers say Discovery's program overwhelmingly featured white men as experts while emphasizing negative messages about sharks during Shark Week.
[00:00:35]  Guys, I thought it was fake, but...
[00:00:40]  It isn't.
[00:00:42]  And it also never ends.
[00:00:45]  So guys, just be ashamed.
[00:00:47]  Doesn't matter for a while.
[00:00:49]  You don't have to do anything. Just be ashamed all the time and you should somehow be covered.
[00:00:53]  On behalf, and I will speak for them generally speaking now, I couldn't do this for any other race, but I think I can speak on behalf of white men everywhere.
[00:01:04]  I'm so sorry for being racist towards Checks, notes, sharks.
[00:01:13]  Guys, you can't make it up.
[00:01:18]  I'm going to take the Jaws quote.
[00:01:20]  You're going to need a bigger boat.
[00:01:22]  You're going to need to update your diversity, equity, and inclusion standards discovery.
[00:01:28]  Maybe, maybe, because I know I've been in the water with sharks a lot.
[00:01:33]  Maybe white guys are just the only people dumb enough to get in the water with sharks.
[00:01:38]  Is that okay? I assume that's not racist because I'm poking fun at these things.
[00:01:43]  But like, the other silver lining is guys, if The Washington Post is running a story about Shark Week lacking diversity and that the scientists included in researching sharks are overwhelmingly right.
[00:02:01]  Maybe, just maybe, we're running out of things!
[00:02:05]  We're doing things to pretend to be racist.
[00:02:08]  Maybe we're finally running out of nonsense to be outraged about.
[00:02:14]  Because, honestly guys, that one's a stretch.
[00:02:19]  Most of them these days are a stretch.
[00:02:22]  When everything in the world is viewed through the lens of racism and how it somehow doesn't represent some group, it's a problem.
[00:02:36]  I mean, you don't hear anyone talking about like, I don't know, I feel like short, unathletic white guys like me, and I'm not that short, I'm 6'1", but relative to the NBA, I'd be pretty short.

=== Continuing The Patriarchy (00:36) ===

[00:02:48]  I feel like I'm grossly underrepresented In the courts of the NBA, and yet no one would seem to have a problem with that.
[00:02:55]  But guys, Shark Week, be sorry that you enjoyed it because you too are, I guess, continuing the patriarchy or some sort of other nonsense.
[00:03:12]  Crazy. Can't make it up anymore, folks.
[00:03:15]  I thought it was fake, but it's real.
