The actual context is so much worse. Brian Last asks if any woman should be removed from that match due to pregnancy, who should it be? Cornette mentions Asuka. He goes on his typical anti-asian rant afterwards and complains about how unfair it is to Charlotte that she didn't get on the Wrestlemania card.

That's ignoring his complaints about how Asuka is supposedly sabotaging Rhea's main roster career as well and is incredibly selfish. Which is pretty much peak :ironicat: considering Charlotte actually does that.

I've got a pocket full of cheese🧀, and a garden full of trees🌴.

Why does he think Asuka is pregnant?

Is this a weird stereotype I don't get? A stupid inside joke that Cornette has been making? An insult, "she wrestles bad enough for two", kind of deal?

You had the same response to this summary that I did. I really don't want to listen but I also really want to understand what the hell is going on here so I don't ever have to waste brain power on it again.

You couldn't pay me to listen to that but wasn't there a rumour that Charlotte was pregnant or something (or got a false positive on a test) and that's why she was initially pulled from Mania or some other match?

Brian makes a joke about who will be removed due to pregnancy and Cornette picks Asuka.

Because Asuka supposedly only got the title from Becky because she was pregnant and Becky pushed for it backstage. And then when she was supposed to lose the title to Lacey...she got pregnant. And she was rumored to face Charlotte at WM, who was pulled because of a potential pregnancy scare.

Jim hates Asuka and keeps intentionally calling her Chinese. Also mentions how she is too loud and obnoxious and has horrible charisma. Also Jim REALLY likes Rhea and Charlotte and sees the both of them as huge mainstream megastars who can appeal to a wide audience.

When I think about Asuka the first thing that springs to mind is how little charisma she has.

I wish he was trying to knock off South Park because it would have a style at least. That poo poo is just plain bad.

Yeah, I have no reason to be charitable to Travis, but outside of the stuff with direct South Park references, I don't think that's what he's going for. I think it's as simple as when he started doing these weird sketches for me and Brian for 6:05, it was a matter of what he could throw together quickly, since he's absolutely a talented artist. (All of his "X in the style of Hanna-Barbera" stuff is dead on, for example.) So the ways in which it's not especially good artistically are by design, tonal and subject matter awfulness aside.

I hate to admit it but I'm vaguely curious if they at least acknowledged the positives of the Gage DSotR episode while hating the subject matter. I really, really don't want to touch the poop, though.

HRM yes a convicted felon who almost killed David Arquette in front of a live audience, this is somebody I can get heat on for a program. You would think with the amount cornette complains about everything being fake now he would love somebody living their gimmick.
