73: RIP Meathead, Georgetown’s DEI Overreach, Susie’s Cry for Help & Stu’s Neighborhood Tour
Welcome to David & Stu… Unhinged! As always, we'd like to thank Clara Wang for creating the fantastic artwork for this podcast.
On this 73rd episode of David & Stu Unhinged, we will discuss the following:
1. Rob Reiner, an acclaimed director and actor, was brutally murdered along with his wife, causing shockwaves and grief throughout the country. Reiner played the iconic role of Meathead in “All in the Family” and directed some beloved films. Instead of expressing condolences, this president mocked and ridiculed Reiner, causing a backlash even among the MAGA faithful. It is hard to know if this is the last straw for Trump, but with behavior like this, it is no shock that his approval ratings are in the gutter. America has had enough of this classless orange pig.
2. In 1838, Georgetown University, a Jesuit institution, orchestrated the sale of 272 enslaved men, women, and children to save the college from significant debt. About 15 years ago, student activism and research prodded Georgetown to make amends for this offense. We will explore whether Georgetown’s response was appropriate or an unwarranted surrender to the DEI movement.
3. Susie Wiles, Trump’s Chief of Staff, gave a candid and unvarnished insider’s view of the chaotic policymaking and personalities of this Administration in an interview with Vanity Fair. Wiles gave brutal assessments of key players, including J.D. Piglet Vance, Elon Musk, and Pam Bondi, and compared Trump’s decision-making to that of an alcoholic’s personality. These revelations have further highlighted how dysfunctional and poorly run Trump’s second term is and bring into question how sustainable this MAGA movement is.
4. Stu is going to give a verbal summary of a historical tour of a tiny section of E. 10th Street in the East Village, including a discussion about Abe Lebewohl, the man's wonderful deli, and his untimely end; St. Mark's Church, which has a record of the longest period of continuous service in Manhattan; a tiny, oddly angled street that is the only street running due east and west in Manhattan; and the Ukrainian National Home, a nearby restaurant that still evokes an earlier time.
