Subject for today *music* *music* to be with you.
It's Friday, and we are live.
It is 9, 10 Central.
God time.
God's time.
God time.
God tear is what people say.
So I'm doing it the way the kids do on the interwebs.
And we're actually doing a new segment here, or a new show.
You don't need a singer yet.
We're going to go through a couple of news stories, but then you send in, chat, what we've missed.
So I want you to send in clips, ideally, or stories.
Whatever stories it is, or whatever stories they are, I don't know, that you think we missed, that you want us to cover, so we can react in real time.
And we'll be doing that here probably in about 20, 30 minutes.
So start sending them in, and we will be receiving your most hidden places.
All right.
I thought you were going to say loads.
What?
What?
No.
Hey, we have senior citizens here today.
We're taping a commercial.
And we needed some older people.
And by the way, I was surprised at the gentleman, because I didn't think he was old enough.
I just thought he was just someone visiting.
And then I realized, oh, we're going to make him up to look older for the commercial we're doing.
And when you see the first story we're covering, I realize, oh, he had to watch that out there.
Sorry about that.
I was like, oh, I'm sorry.
We cleaned it up.
The clip that we had to censor more.
The clip that we had to censor more, and he asked me for a Jesus shirt.
I'm like, yes, I can.
Did you see Run Through?
How long have you been here?
Commenting on evil does not mean we are partaking in it.
Though sometimes.
All right.
Captain Morgan, you feeling better?
Great.
Josh Feierstein, not underscore Feierstein on X. It is what you missed later on.
Also, major announcement next Friday.
We'll be going wide, public.
Wide, everywhere, and potentially cross-streaming with someone else.
So stay tuned for that.
Bookmark it next Friday.
First story.
I know that you thought the NYPD were busy fighting crime.
Yes, of course.
Or shaking down black guys, let's be honest.
Heroes.
Not for the last part.
No, you mispronounced nurses and teachers.
Oh, sorry.
Yeah, come on.
Those are the true heroes.
FDNY? NYPD. NYPD. I know.
You said FDNY. I was talking about...
Oh, Lord.
We used to think they were the real heroes after 9-11, and now I realize that they are spineless pussies, is what I'm saying.
Well, they're no Uber driver.
They're no nurses.
They're no public school teachers.
That's true.
Do you have any idea?
Public school teachers, they had to do their job from Zoom for a year and a half.
Do you have any idea how difficult that is?
To hit the mute button when your tea kettle's going off and you're not teaching kids?
All those TikToks?
All those TikToks.
I know.
Remember how much trouble we got into for a 9-11 joke about it?
That was the greatest.
It was one of my favorites ever.
So, I know you think that NYPD, busy fighting crime, doing whatever it is that you picture in your mind, but what if I told you that some of the NYPD were busy, consequence-free, mind you, Not so much reading Miranda rights as shaking their fat asses, known as twerking.
I'm going to tell you about a girl named Keisha.
What up, Keisha?
Legs, long, ass, thick.
Just want to smash it quick.
Hit the dash and split.
Cash gap, be quick.
Straight on some ratchet shit.
She like to smash it.
Yeah, and before we go to this, I'm just going to cover the story.
I thought they were going to edit it more.
There's no good way to edit it, Gerald.
We're not trying to be titillating.
We're not?
Why don't you back the blue?
Why don't you get behind the blue?
Make it rain, Gerald.
It's changed from back the blue to blue, back that up.
Give me blue balls, I'll tell you.
That's right.
I hate this.
Pull me over for a speeding ticket.
I might get rain now.
NYPD officer.
Her name is Melissa Mercado.
And she was busted because co-workers recognized her, which is not like she was in a secret identity.
I mean, she's pretty easy to spot.
Also, she was texting them all the video.
Yes.
She was in this video.
Squires?
Oh, okay, I get it.
But it's spelled...
Really, honestly, it should be pronounced S-queer.
Yeah, that's what it's spelled with.
It's spelled S-queer.
Like straight queer?
It's just so funny how black people like to spell things.
Or new metal bands.
S-quires video for it, and the video's called Doing That.
So, this lady earns $144,000 a year as a grade three detective.
She doing that.
Yeah, she doing that.
It's that.
Who was doing it?
The detective will find out.
The lead at.
She's, I'm all that and a bag of chips, which is also what it smells like on the pole when she's done with it.
Now, you know when someone opens an old bag of chips and it wafts?
Or like a can of pumpkin and it's expired?
Oh, gross.
An NYPD union source said, well, she's not wearing NYPD paraphernalia.
Nothing in the video says she's a detective.
If she is performing for money, if she has a side gig, the job would want to know about that.
The member would be obligated to file an off-duty employment application.
I would say nothing she does in the video is the department's business.
I understand that in theory, but remember when the Alaska Airlines flight attendant was fired?
For twerking in uniform, but the difference is she was in uniform.
She wasn't in a thong.
So one could almost argue that this is worse because it's going to be pretty tough.
You get pulled over to respect the authority.
No, the Alaska Airlines flight attendant had a...
Small ass.
Yes, that's true.
And if you heard Esquire, he said that was thick.
Yes, he did.
Clearly.
That was actually the only prerequisite in the casting call.
Mr. Qualifier did say.
Long legs and thick butt.
Look, this is my creative vision.
I know what I want.
Big ass.
We can't find anybody, Mr. Esquire.
I don't know.
Maybe go check with the NYPD. I see them patrolling.
Check the FDNY. They're going up and down all them stairs.
Like a lunge, motherfucker.
So, this, I think she could just, like, no.
If I worked at the NYPD, I'm sorry, like, taxpayers, if you're collecting $144,000, you're in a position that requires authority.
Like, I get that people can have side gigs.
Like, for example, I had a guy who was a fire chief, and he would do my pool.
A long time ago.
So that's different.
It's different, and that guy...
He did it in a thong, too.
That's the problem.
Well, that was my only qualifier.
He's Brazilians, man.
Also a Spanish accent, even though he was white.
I believe there is something wrong with your filter.
I will fix it for you.
Thank you, Todd.
But the guy made bank, because when he was a firefighter, I think three days on...
Two days off, or it's three days on, three days off.
So he said, you know, during the spare time, this is a perfect job.
I can work it in my schedule.
Some people do Uber.
That makes sense.
Glorified stripper.
Not even a glorified, just a stripper.
I think it's a little bit different.
Actress.
It's a music video.
She's not a stripper on the pole, I guess, like on the weekend.
I think she is.
No, no.
She's an actress.
Oh, really?
I didn't do my research.
And you believe the waitresses at Hooters like you?
They bring him extra ranch.
I almost said I've never been there.
I went there once in high school and I hated it.
I'm going to give you a little bit of pushback.
Sorry for the pun.
I'm going to push back on you.
Push it back.
Bring it on back.
Beep, beep, beep.
The response from the NYPD to me sounds like they're trying to cover their asses because she's actually on some kind of undercover mission.
Oh, that could be.
Yeah, like they just blew her cover and she blew three guys in the champagne room.
I was going to say, where's she hiding the wire?
What do you think that thong is made of?
It's all wire.
It's where I keep my spare keys, applesauce, tuba lipstick.
Yeah, she's like Serpico, but Slurpico.
Yes, exactly.
Well, to be fair, 144,000 in New York is like 20,000 a year anywhere else.
Yeah.
I don't know if that's her salary and her benefits, but it doesn't matter.
You know what?
You guys comment.
I just think the answer is no.
Now, here's the thing.
It also has come with consequences, right?
Actions have consequences.
And I believe she's in the Bronx.
The flow of calls to their emergency police line, as you can imagine, have increased dramatically.
911, what's your what's your emergency?
Melissa McArdo, do you understand the words that are coming out of my mouth?
Honestly, it's kind of to be expected when you look back on it.
It reminds me of Lil Wayne's Lady Cop song.
Do you remember that?
I don't remember.
That's all it is?
That was the chorus.
Was he singing it?
I don't like that.
It was Lil Wayne and some singer did the hook.
Oh, I was going to say, if he was singing it, he'd be like, She got me like...
What are you doing?
I'm doing a police siren like...
Oh, man.
I wish I could remember the lyrics.
It was a pretty fun song.
Okay.
All right.
I'll take your word for it.
We should have her on the show.
So last Sunday.
No.
I agree.
The 97th Academy Awards were held.
And remember, we used to do the Oscar stream every year.
Yes, I remember.
And it was a constant problem because we would get banned.
And I was the Oscar trophy.
I remember.
I'm glad that we...
It was a lot of fun.
I'm glad that we stopped.
And this one was relatively uneventful.
I think Conan did a good job.
There was one kind of political jab.
But as a general rule, it's clear they had to talk with these folks.
It's very clear.
When you see also what Gavin Newsom said with Charlie Kirk yesterday, you know what, maybe I want to bring that clip.
There's a reason he chose that platform, because he went unchecked on some of his comments that he's flip-flopped.
You can see that they've read the polls.
You can see they've gotten these focus studies, and they're going, oh, okay.
Americans aren't having it.
Like, at this point, if you start going off on your soliloquy...
If you start sermonizing, you get on your soapbox, we are going to lose viewers and we cannot have that, especially when you look at the ledgers of a lot of these companies.
However, there were some notable moments, I guess.
Here's the highlights.
I am rooting for everybody.
I don't care who wins because everybody who's been nominated deserved it.
Jeremy, you're amazing in The Apprentice.
I'm not supposed to single anyone out.
I am a proud child of immigrant parents.
With dreams and dignity and hard-working hands.
And I am the first American of Dominican origin to accept an Academy Award.
And I know I will not be the last.
We live in a regime where I am free.
Yes, because white American men hate Dominican women.
We're big fans, actually.
And I have to say, as I am here...
The foreign policy in this country is helping to block this path.
I'm here once again to represent the...
Gay Pin Association.
...lingering traumas and the repercussions of war.
He's the president now.
And systematic oppression.
I agree.
And of anti-Semitism.
I agree.
And racism.
I agree.
And of othering.
I agree.
And I believe...
If the past can teach us anything, it's a reminder to not let hate go unchecked.
I agree.
There's nothing he said with which I could possibly disagree.
He just doesn't understand exactly what he's saying.
The trauma of war.
I agree.
There's only one person out there.
There was only one candidate who wanted to stop the forever wars.
The most anti-war president ever.
We can all agree on that, right?
Comment below.
Donald Trump.
Othering people.
Like calling people Hitler.
Nazis.
I agree.
Anti-Semitism.
Have you gone to the leftist forums and message boards lately and seen what these people say about Israel?
I get that there's a faction on the right, and I understand there's a righteous reason to criticize the Israeli government.
I get that.
But I'm talking about open support for Hamas.
Have you seen what's happened on campus?
Everything he just said, I agree with.
So even when they're being apolitical, they just don't realize how tone-deaf they are.
Also, I didn't realize that this was streaming to Rumble YouTube, I guess.
I had no idea because usually, just in case people don't know, we do a show every Friday.
If you're not a Rumble Premium member, you just click right there and you get to watch it.
It's a little more relaxed, as you can see.
Did we have to hit the YouTube jump button?
I'm sure we probably did.
This has been Gerald Relaxed.
Yes.
Yeah, exactly.
He's like the buddy cop uptight guy, but who doesn't have the redemption arc.
And then his partner is Melissa Mercado.
Yes, yes, exactly.
It's Mercado.
Mercado.
It's Ricky Ricardo.
Do you have to go out acting like a whore?
And she's like, why don't you loosen up?
It's what I do.
Why don't you loosen up?
Why don't you loosen up, my boy?
She teaches Gerald how to dance.
There's some kind of a montage where she's teaching him how to dance.
He's like...
Nah, let this loosen your shoulders.
He's like...
You're about as tight as my bra strap.
Yeah, that's right.
Well, if you see a nipple, that's nude!
Some sequence where he's coming out of the dressing room and he progressively looks more pimp-like, and at the end she's like...
Yeah, that's all you needed was an Al Green cane!
That's exactly right!
Thank you to H&M! And then DJ Daniel beats the shit out of him.
So I didn't realize, so click that button, you get to be with us every Friday, and we also do this 100% more show every day of the week.
Big announcements.
I already said big announcements.
I had no idea we were streaming live.
Someone could have let me know because I could have said all the things that I don't say on YouTube, but we're going to continue here.
You know what?
Rachel Ziegler and Gal Gadot in a contest for who is the dumbest person on stage.
And I don't just say this because of their politics.
I mean, Ziegler and Gal Gadot are barely walking upright.
So they are stars of the Disney live-action, I guess the live-action version of Snow White.
They appeared as presenters, and I know that this was only put in today's show.
Every now and then they sneak one in just to make me mad.
Please welcome Rachel Ziegler.
No!
do. No!
Visual effects.
Push the boundaries of what we see on screen.
Their work makes the impossible seem possible.
