"The lights dim and the guests quiet, including [John] Mayer, who has just finished doling out some wisdom to the male cast on how to handle the attention of female fans while staying faithful to the women in their lives: “Sign tits.

"How exactly do we celebrate the holiday? Do we pretend to valorize the same traditions that we make fun of during the rest of the year? It makes no sense! But it makes no sense because we’re still racist. And we need a Black History Month because we’re still racist."

— You are victimizing John Mayer. Leave him alone! Leave John Mayer alone!

— Is there anyone on the planet who better resembles Chris Pratt’s character from Parks and Recreation than John Mayer? Come on, Rashida.

In this episode of the Standard Review Podcast, the denizens of #CafeDisco discuss why everything is better when you add a hot air balloon, why Law & Order is the most sexist, homophobic, racist, misogynistic trans-phobic show on television (and how the reason we know this is because we watch it all the time), and why John Mayer should probably not threaten to rape someone again.
