I don't even care about pokemon, but I'd rather hear what the son has to say, than what jd vance or trump have to say.
I'd just like to point out, again, maybe for the 1000th time, that jd vance is on video, several times, saying he's a "never trump guy".
Never.
Never, huh?
Kinda seems like he's a full of shit guy.
Somebody needs to tell him to shut the hell up.
If I ever see either of them in person, I will.
I don't agree with the guy who tried to shoot trump. But I WOULD agree with anyone who stormed the stage, and forcably made any of them wear a ballgag. THATS the way you shut them up!
Less assasinations, and more....ass.....something......ok, there's clearly a pun here about making an ass out of trump. Somebody make something out of that.
We just need fewer asses in our nation.
I care about pokemon but only because it became my duty as a father after "Dad, let's play pokemon!".
Pokemon Go is kinda great actually: It's a video game but it gets people up and walking.
If you ever have kids, you'll probably share my fate lol
Gotta catch them all!! My stepkids sucked me into it and I played after them for years.
Trump seems to just riff on his weak understanding of the last thing he heard. Maybe they were afraid of a weird rant about bulbasaur extinguishing clean coal.
“My son, who is seven, is in the hotel room with me,” Vance told the podcast about the phone call he got from former President Donald Trump on the first day of the RNC to tell him he was his veep pick. “And he is really into Pokemon cards right now, he’s going through a Pokemon phase... I mean he’s really into it, so he is trying to talk to me about Pikachu and I am on the phone with Donald Trump, I’m like ‘son, shut the hell up for 30 seconds about Pikachu,’” Vance told the podcast.
Vance is going to find out that his political career is just a phase, but his kid will be into Pokemon forever.
Ehh, not interrupting someone when they're making a phone call is pretty basic manners.
Sure, "basic" manners that we can expect of adults. Yelling at kids to shut the hell up doesn't teach them manners, it teaches them to stop sharing their interests with you.
omg childless cat ladies are the greatest evil
I'm on calls all the time. People kids come home from school and want to talk to parent real quick. It's polite to give them a min or 2 to wrap up. Christ would have been cool with it.
Who the fuck is J.D. Vance?
He’s just some weirdo.
He's that one guy that works at Vance Refrigeration, I think
Weird guy who admitted to fucking a couch
Technically he didn't admit it. Just didn't deny it.
We both know the truth
So does the couch. But no word from them yet. Might be undercover.
He's an entitled suburbanite shithead cosplaying as an Appalachian (which he is not and never has been).
James David Vance the Couch Penetrance
Trump's pick for Vice President. I didn't know who he was until he was announced, either.
He's a politician in the United States.
You might remember him as James Bowman.
JD Vance talks about a fictionalized fantasy world made for entertainment and most importantly profit after he tells his son to shut up about Pokemon.

Isn't it weird that the only member of the NELK Boys who has birthed a child is also the one kinda banished for being a compulsive gambler? I think a podcast featuring JD Vance with the main purpose to sell "Happy Dad" booze with the male hosts who are childless is pretty weird.
So you’re saying that JD Vance is weird?
What a dick! Maybe act like a father and take an interest in your kid's interests?
I'm no fan of Vance or Trump, but I would think if you're on the phone with a previous president of the US and he's inviting you to be his running mate, you might also be telling your kid to STFU about a game for a minute.
If not, you have the patience of a saint.
If a former President called me while I was in a room with talking person(s), I'd bring my phone to a bathroom and close the door for privacy.
Yeah, interrupting someone when they're on a phone call isn't exactly good manners.
