(00:47):
supposed to feel bad for me. Daniel is not here
in her basement, So whenever Daniel speaks, just watch the picture.
It looks it looks like the flute took a real
bad time that picture again. I mean, they probably improved
in their abilities right with a listener from years ago

(01:10):
they were trying to do art for a living. It's great,
it's beautiful. I would buy that, you know, I would
buy that the best thing. You know what we haven't
heard from uh tattoo Bob lately. Yeah, talk about true art.
I have commissioned so many pieces of artwork from tattoo Bob,
and they make people so happy every time they get him.

(01:31):
My friend's cat died. I was like, I just need
to I adore tattoo Bob. Here's Gandhi looking like Michael Jackson. Yeah,
Michael Jackson and smoking. Maybe they're scary, Okay, I got
we have Nate. We have go back to Nate. He

(01:51):

And there's Uncle Johnny. That's pretty good, got all his fingers.
This was Elvis has a dead body. That's me. Is
a dead body. That's me on the Empire State Building.
Two looks like Neil de grass Tyson he does. That's

(02:13):
pretty good. That's Alex dancing in my window at home.
Look great, they look he said he specializes in animals.
He does a lot better at animals, Bob, what a
treat a true artist? Are you a good artist, Elvis? No,
not at all. No, you didn't. That talent didn't transfer
because Elvis can play the piano barely. He's quite chef.

(02:37):
He's quite the words smith and I use that word
very word smithily word smithile. No, you're a great writer too,
and radio hosts. Well, and I have no gag, reflects Dane.
What do you think of that? Daniel I am not

(02:59):
there anything if I hate you? Alle Hey, so what
do you want to cover today? Um? No, gosh, it's
our last podcast. Oh world. I have something to bring
up that we didn't bring up that I thought it
was interesting. Way to hang on say that again, Danielle,
something stop. It happened. So you guys know how when

(03:24):
you're on TikTok right now, you can use music and
you don't pay for it. So they're actually trying to
change that. Um, they're testing something in India, Indonesia and
Brazil and if it goes well, the music industry will
hopefully get more money and you'll have to pay to
use certain music on Indian people are not going to

(03:44):
pay for that. I speak on behalf of all of us.
We will not pay for that. Pay for Twitter, Blue.
I can't wait for the eight dollars a months. I
hate you. Are you really going to do that? Yeah?
Why not? Why so anybody could do it? Well, that's it,
and then anybody could also which I may invest in
this also pay the eight dollars and be you. Yeah,
it's not special, scary, It doesn't make you special scar

(04:07):
zones underscore one follow me. No, it doesn't premium of what?
I don't know. I just's my point. That's my point.
You're the kind of scares the kind of guy who
will walk down the city street. If he sees a
line in front of a door, he'll get in the line,
not knowing what it is. Right, you want to pay
a premium? What's the premium for? I don't know. They

(04:27):
say that along with the stupid blue check mark. That
doesn't mean anything anymore. You know, it doesn't mean anything anymore, right,
you know it means right, it means nothing. You can
edit a tweet? Didn't they suspend that anyway? They suspend
that program. I feel like they're gonna give you new
things and new powers, new superpowers on twitters. Feel like
I feel like, yeah, that's what I was told. And

(04:49):
if it doesn't make you like if it, if they
don't keep it for like people who I guess would
be a celebrity status or whatever to verify them and
anybody can get it, then who gives a ship? You know?
He's the blue checkmark on Twitter? Is uh? This painting
of Danielle the real Danielle Manaro can you make your

(05:10):
voice a little gravelly or when you talk here am.
I just think it's interesting in treating that you're gonna
pay the money, you're gonna buy into something and you
don't even know what it is. I just think that
it's it's it's giving people. It's it's giving the power
to the people. Right, wouldn't you say by not allowing
pay eight dollar? Question? What power is it giving to

(05:32):
the people? Go? I think that No, no, no, no, no,
what you think? What is the proven power that the
people are gonna get paying eight dollars a month? I don't.
I just I don't know it just it looks pretty
I guess you're gonna waste a hundred bucks a year?
Is that when it comes to pretty much? I mean,
is this the guy who you know he went and
all that f t X stuff? We waste eight on

(05:57):
a thirty minute Starbucks coffee every day opposed to something
from Yeah, but you know what, you know what you're
getting when you buy a Starbucks coffee? Yeah? What are
you getting when you buy a check on net on Netflix,
on on Twitter? I think that remains to be seen.
I'm hoping that it offers something more than just so
you're investing early. And I will be damned if I

(06:21):
pay Elon Musk eight dollars for anything. Ever, I'm not
doing it. I know that he's just makingartically yesterday that people.
As far as how people feel about Elon Musk, they
are ready to totally douche out Twitter from their lives,
but they'll still buy Tesla's. They still love Tesla's. There's
a value there. I could see that. You know what
they're getting there, getting car's going to drive itself into

(06:44):
a tree exactly. I mean, it's really become. It's really
become a world of subscription right like even Tesla's you
have to pay for different if you want the Tesla music.
If I'm not mistaken, there's different subscriptions you have to
pay for in order to have one. So I think
this gives everybody the opportunity to have a subscription. Whereas
we're passed well in the past with Twitter, everyone like

(07:07):
all these elite people staring from the their ivory castles
and all these like all these self important people with
the check mark, and then the regular common folk never
got check marks. You were one with the check mark.
I know, I agree, I believe you but I'm also
what's different? What are you gonna get from Twitter now
with a check mark? You know, I can't answer the question.
I feel like I'm gonna come back to you with

(07:30):
an answer. Your check mark means nothing now, yeah, the
one you earned means nothing now it doesn't because anybody
parts broken. I just watched the account, I guess, and
any it doesn't actually verify. I mean, if you've seen
what they're doing with these big brands is actually kind
of hilarious. Eli Lily, the fake account announced insulin was
free for everybody. I was so excited. I mean, and

(07:52):
nobody's regulating it because he fired half of the staff,
so it doesn't mean anything. You're paying eight dollars for nothing.
Scary feels like it's going to become some thing one day.
What do you think of comfort? You buy it when
you're right. I may hold off, but they's going away. No, No,
the checkmarks going away. November twenty nine. I've never had one.

(08:13):
Would you buy would you buy one on Instagram? No?
Absolutely not. And if they take it away from me,
take it, I don't care. It actually is kind of
a pain in the ass because when you have that
check mark and you leave a comment for someone, it
bumps it up to the top of the comment section
so that everyone else comes and talks to you about
stuff I don't want that. He does know what I'm
getting scary Christmas? A blue check mark, Chris is what

(08:35):
a nice stocking stuffer. Anyway, let's move on to something else. Scotty,
You're so quiet in there. What's going on? Study? Just
like every computer is doing something right now that the
I T guy was just in here updating something. And
I'm recording here, the shows of running here, and I'm
recording traffic here, and I'm talking, and I have a
lot going on. I'm sorry, this place is rapidly falling apart.

(08:57):
I was watching Scotty try and do something in there
that the boards the button just turned off randomly. I'm like, how,
what is going on with this place? The warranty is up?
Oh no, yeah, I didn't know we're leaving, so the
warranty is up. Yeah, there's someone in Cupertino about to
push a button and everything's going to blow up. Do
we actually know when we're leaving? Well, we do know

(09:17):
that our our first show will be our first day
back from vacation in the New Year. So that's yeah.
I can't wait to see how that works. That's gonna
be fun. It'll be fine. We we always survived those things. Yeah,
you guys have moved plenty of times, right, and it's
just maybe like a week or two of figuring out
some of the glitches and then it's good. Yes, well
this is your fourth see studio? How many? This is

(09:41):
the fourth? Four? It will be the fourth? Yes? Yes?
Has this been the longest? No, Caucus to caucus was
around the longest. Were we in the longest? I think
this one. Yes, yes, we were in Kauka, Jersey City,

(10:02):
New York City, and now uptown it back to Jersey City,
Jersey City was awesome. Those are nice studios. Hey, um
oh god, brain farted, big old juicy brain fart. Like
I have to go. I actually have to have my
first quasi business meeting today at lunch with this ship
all over me. They'll understand. I think it looks better

(10:23):
now than the previous day. Well, I try to like
trim it a little bit and like it looks good.
I'd like some old man that just crawled in from
the ocean. I feel like that's the biggest flex though.
We were talking about this that if you roll in
somewhere looking a little questionable, you have to be the
powerful one of your own. It's the people who dress
up in the suits and try to manicure it, you know,
like because I don't have to care exactly, I know

(10:48):
that my mustache looks awkward on me, and that's because
I went to an event last night when three total
strangers at different parts of the night that never knew
me or saw me before that November, which means you
don't look good with a mustache, but I know you do.
You wouldn't normally have that where the young children away
from you. It was like, oh November, I get it.

(11:09):
I'm like, you've never met me before. What if I
I dombed this mustache regularly? But apparently call me now?
My all right, so there's that. No, no, no, I
put oil on it. I put moisturizer. But you with
the facial hand right now, you're giving hot glimpses of
like you know when this time of year when we

(11:30):
see the hot Santas, Oh hot Santa, Hot Santa. Yeah,
hot Santa. I don't know. That's like saying no, no, no, no,
I don't think about mall Santas or like on like
the Gandi's looking him up right now there there like

(11:50):
this guy, what the hell is yah Santa? No, no, no, no,
Hot Santa. He's wearing Latex. Oh that's disturbing as well.
Oh these are all terrible, Daniel, think of Hot Santa.
Let's go to live to Daniel's picture real quick. Oh

(12:16):

pick up the ball. I think we're doing. Run Well,

thankful for my my family, my friends, everyone close to me,
