Luis Gomez says he can outbox 99% of podcasters
Luis J. Gomez spent the day defending a claim that he can outbox 99 percent of podcasters, while Legion of Skanks did its 9/11 episodes and Theo Von sat down with Bishop Barron.
The big stuff
Luis J. Gomez says he can outbox 99% of podcasters, then any 11-year-old
Gomez said he can outbox 99% of podcasters, then stood by the math: there are hundreds of thousands of podcasts, so one in a hundred is fair. He tagged Grok to ask if the number held up, agreed with a reply that anyone who does not train combat sports is probably getting outboxed, and then raised the bar to every 11-year-old on the planet. When someone brought up basketball, he pointed out he never said he could play basketball.
I can outbox 99% of podcasters
I will outbox Any 11 year-old on the planet
lol I have never claimed to be able to play basketball. Playing with balls is for children and your mom.

Mark Normand posts two words: Hung jury
Mark Normand posted "Hung jury" and nothing else. No setup, no follow up. Earlier the same day he reposted an old stand-up clip tagged "Never forget this joke." The real story: it is a two-word pun, and whatever he was reacting to is not in the post, so nobody knows for sure. The clip repost is just Normand keeping an old bit in circulation.
Yannis Pappas calls AOC's post on hangings of Black people insane
Pappas quoted AOC's post about reported hangings of Black people and said it was insane for a member of Congress to post, saying there is no credible evidence the cases are connected or racially motivated and that most were ruled suicides by local authorities. That one is a real disagreement, not a bit. The rest of his 9/11 was lighter: he posted his old 9/11 disaster relief business card, told anyone he worked with back then he hopes they are doing well, and joked that if social media had existed that day more people would have died recording instead of running.
