Mike Johnson Trying To Be Hip Produces Incredibly Awkward Moment On Podcast
The speaker reached peak cringe in an interview with Katie Miller, Stephen Miller's wife.
[...]
In a preview shared Monday by Miller ― a former Trump administration spokesperson who’s married to White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller ― she asked Johnson, “You know who Jelly Roll is?”
Johnson might have gone with a simple affirmative. Instead, the Louisiana Republican indignantly said, “Do I know,” and waved a Hawaiian “shaka,” or “hang loose,” sign with just the thumbs and pinkies extended. (One of his hands, however, had three fingers up.)
He's appealing to both demographics: metal heads and surf rockers.
Surf Rock + Guitar Distortion = Heavy Metal
Bros... Imagine you were listening to Pantera. Now Imagine you were riding the perfect wave. Now imagine you're doing both! That would be way, way cool. The coolest. But you know what would be even cooler? Voting Republican!
He's doing the spiderman thing, not the metal horns!
i 'hang loose' AND 'rock out' daddy o!
Same thing with distortion and clean guitar
No, he's doing the metal sign wrong. You don't put your thumb out when doing the sign. That means "I love you" in American Sign Language.
