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.)

Yo, you know who's more chill than me? it's the chilling effect of realising that white genocide in South Africa has been ongoing for months without anyone bothering to even hear out the victims.

Not quite human, speaker Johnson turns sex pest on a reporter signalling "call me and I'll give you the shocker."

That's so much better than what I posted.

He's appealing to both demographics: metal heads and surf rockers.

[–] vovchik_ilich@hexbear.net 4 points 17 hours ago

He's doing the spiderman thing, not the metal horns!

[–] ChaosMaterialist@hexbear.net 5 points 20 hours ago

metal heads and surf rockers

Surf Rock + Guitar Distortion = Heavy Metal

[–] CthulhusIntern@hexbear.net 3 points 19 hours ago

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.

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!

spoilerI don't think I've even heard a Jelly Roll song. Who is actually listening to this shit lmao

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 5 points 22 hours ago

I haven't. But I'm not a good metric. I'm old and have little or no interest in recent pop culture.

Hang loose , devil, bro, keep track of the porn I watch. My son is not tracking all the really weird shit I'm into these days.

Wanna see me spell "blood" with my hands? Kyle showed me. Heh, watch this... wait shit... watch this!! Wait, ok watch this

[–] thagoat@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 22 hours ago

I was an elaborate hand signal to Katie. "I love you, call me. Don't tell Steve, he scares me."

[–] lemmie689@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 21 hours ago

And that, my bro, is the sweetest scenario!
