we are throwing. To be joined in our third seat
by the hilarious comedian and podcast or Mr David Huntsburger. Hello, fellas,

(01:09):
welcome having me back. It's get the heavy man. Long time,
first time, long first time, long time, first time, first
line timeline, Yeah, yes, do you use the timeline remad
when Facebook switch to the timeline. I don't pay enough
attention to it to know really what that means happened
around Ulve Man this timely content I think, yeah, I was.

(01:31):
I finally caped in and got into it right around Man.
So it's all new to me. You do the mannequin
challenge it, no, I never play. I never did shake video.
Maybe no, I've never done like, yeah, any of those.
And then I was on the side of Pamela Anderson
with the als ice bucket challenge because everyone's like folding

(01:52):
in on it, you know, doing it just because someone's
moderately famous tagged them, and she was like, what's this
money going to? Word? They do all their research on
animals and they don't really have a lot of like
parameters as to how they're supposed to treat them. Let's
figure that out. I was like, alright, wow, gives me
an excuse not to dump a bucket of ice water
on my head? Is like a Q and on person

(02:14):
now or something? I think. So something had one pam
Anderson where she took a weird turn into conspiracy with
Julian Assange. Yeah, a member of the Russian He's propaganda wing. Yeah,
Baywatch was entirely KGB invented media. It worked. Yeah, Yeah,

(02:35):
I never did the ice bucket challenge because nobody, I mean,
Farrell tagged me, but like that was it. I was like,
all right, you're like as you were talking to legend
tags me, Uh, David, We're going to get to know
you a little bit better in a moment. First, we're
going to take our listeners through a few of things
we're talking about today, mostly the Mueller thing, because that's

(02:58):
what appeared to be what every he was paying attention
to today. But we're also going to get to important
news like the hotel Taco Bell menu. Oh yeah, we
know what it what it looks like. We got some
ideas of the people who are blessed enough to book
their rooms. It's like you're getting to sleep inside a
test kitchen of Taco Bell. The change between the o

(03:21):
J verdict or like the Clinton impeachment hearings or the
man on the moon anything that was like the whole
country being like all right, we're all focused so different now,
Like let's get to that. But also talking about Taco
Bell a little bit, really really well distributed these days
were like it just is a small piece of what
people are talking. We try and touch every corner of

(03:43):
this great country. Yeah, it's a good microcosm of culture
at large. Man, really, thank you. Have you reviewed our
podcast The American Brain. Yeah, I'm Scraam Woode one. I
wrote that we're gonna talk about Facebook and where that
timeline uh went and the redesigns from back in two

(04:05):
thousand nine while we're unhappy with them. Also, somebody from
the CIA went to work at Facebook, and so we'll
get their impressions of just how much scarier Facebook is
then the CIA. We're gonna talk about a couple of
the ways that the world is conspiring against women. The
world is sexist even when it comes to car accidents,

(04:27):
but also presidential elections. We'll talk about Sylvester Stallone and
his plans for the Rocky franchise. But first, David, we
like to ask our guess, what's something from your search
history that's revealing about who you are? I know you
the last couple of times I've done the show, you
asked me that, and I always I don't search a lot.

(04:48):
I kept it up. Is l A Weather, l A Traffic?
And I did a podcast with this guy, Josh Molina,
so I looked him up. Um, he's been a bunch
of stuff, very nice, A funny guy, and then the
pertinent things. I was having a conversation with someone they
had gone to Costco and I was like, oh, you're lucky,
like he didn't we weren't a shooting, and they go,
what are you talking about? And that's how common the

(05:10):
shootings have gotten where I was like, there were two
within a week at Costco and no one had heard
about it. So I looked up Costco shooting and then
it auto filled San Diego and auto filled Corona. And
then you know when there's under like five casualties, people like,
that's barely a shooting. There was there were two in
a week, and so and then and then I looked

(05:30):
up the band Black Pumas Good and Mick Logan's, which
sells screen printing supplies in downtown Los Angeles. Some screening. Yeah,
I started. I used to always like buy stickers because
I have a screen printed like shirts and posters and
stuff a bunch of the years. And then for whatever reason,
I was associated like stickers as being well, I gotta

(05:51):
gotta buy those, and I realized how easy it is
to do it, So I like to just mass produce
stickers on your oa, like screenprint, just make a bunch
of my own stickers. I bought a paper cutter cutting
up my own stickers real punk rock. Hell yeah, man, yeah,
I got pins to making pins. No, I don't know
what I think, just because I never I know, I'm
not even that much of a sticker person. I'm definitely
not pins on my lapel, so it never occurs to me.

(06:14):
Really only I don't know. Yeah, the only pin you
were on your lapel? I believe it's the American flag.
Did you see it's right? Looking right at it, and
did you make that? Yeah, this is the name. It's
it's like a resin new It's yeah, it looks great.
Thank you. The dying is hard. If you look at
the blue, it's not spot um, but it's close. I'm
glad you said that because but as long as you
know it's close to the family. Yeah, it's a family

(06:38):
of What is something you think is overrated? I was
gonna I was gonna go in on a person. I
don't think that's necessary. So I thought the term stand
is ridiculous. It's I mean, it's that's so overrated that
people use it. And the character that it's named after,
he doesn't he drive his car off a bridge with

(06:59):
with this girl pregnant. Yeah, and then yeah, I feel
like a more appropriate ultra fan would be along the
lines of like scrappy doo. Yeah, I love Scooby. He's
just such a fan of Scooby himself is like a
pretty good little guy. Yeah, I'm scrappy that guy, or
I'm scrapping that, I scrapped them, scrappy them, something like that.

(07:20):
And here did you watch the Case against add On?
It's mostly just a regurgitation of the serial stuff, but
there are a couple of things that are revealed in
it that are fairly interesting. One, uh, he was going
through a phase where he was real jealous that she
had just ended things abruptly, and he was listening to
a lot of M and M. And then they find

(07:42):
her in this trunk. Come on, guys, that's something. Wait,
so HBO is on the team of he did it? No, No, No.
The documentary more so makes it you kind of leave
in the same space. They present some stuff. He's presented
at one point with the option to admit his guilt
and get out of prison, and he doesn't take it.
He's he's going to get a new trial, and then
they say no, so he presumably, as from now on,

(08:05):
is going to spend the rest of his life in jail,
which people would look at and be like, man, that
was a bad move. So him doing that, you can't tell.
I mean, on on the surface, it looks like, oh,
he's definitely not guilty. He wanted to get his innocence.
On the other it's like, well, maybe his conscience was
sort of like, I did murder her, and I know
she wasn't found in the trunk, She's found in the

(08:27):
the by the in the woods. By that. Yeah, yeah,
so that I mean listening to Lincoln Park right there
you go. Yeah, then he would have just been having
some sort of ankst or something. He would have just
been crawling in his own skin. That would have been,
I would have been the final nail in his coffin
if they if they proved he had been listening to

(08:48):
Lincoln Park and then her body found in Lincoln Park.
It was like Eminem and Lincoln Park. And he's clearly fearus.
How he fell right one And I don't know why.
It doesn't matter how hard I tray with this, but
it is the one thing that I don't know why.
But the little brother when the cops came around, were
like they think he was nine at the time, was like,

(09:10):
you should check out her ex boyfriend. Yeah, They're like
a couple of little things like that to stand out, Like,
well that's interesting. Yeah, I didn't know that that wasn't
in serial right, come on, Sarah panic, we'll have we'll
have our moment to talk to her. Catch her ear. Yeah,
that's her in Orlando. H what is something you think
is underrated? C SPAN? Yeah? San, why on earth is

(09:33):
it not the most popular thing? The crazy Q and
on people like conspiracy Walthy Tube guess a little bit,
and then everyone else is like, but I I watched
the Real News. I watch MSNBC where they cry it stuff.
I think it's just like robots going next collar. Here's
some stuff they don't comment. It's just you make up

(09:53):
your own mind when you watch c SPAN. I think
the country at large could use a healthy dose of that.
So I'm letting these assholes tell you how you think,
make it up, make up your own mind the best
for that. It's just funny because the anchors of that
who have to do those shows, or people calling the
patients that they demonstrate is unreal because somebody like, no, man,

(10:14):
like I remember when uh, when Obama was trying to
do Obamacare and like the tea party was coming up,
and if it was, it's just amazing to hear a
person who's you know, hosting a show, have to hear
someone's just outrageous xenophobic take and then be like, interesting,
well thank you for calling one. And it just loops
through Democrat, Republican, Independent, and just loops through over and over,

(10:37):
and you do start to get a sense if you
hear like the voice you hear this, I don't know, man,
I think it's a bit of a frame up that
only ever belongs to one party. Yes, and the host,
like you're saying too, they don't even flinch there you go, okay,
and why is it a frame up? Well, if you
look back, that's stale dossier. Okay, yeah, where did you
read that? Right? And that's how it should be. That's

(10:58):
such great journalism. I was saying the same thing about
actually during the Muller uh testimony, the you could just
look at what look at the person's face and tell
what party they were from from how pink their face was,
the high flush that they got. It seemed to indicate Republicanism.

(11:19):
C SPAN is basically Twitter the TV show, like political
Twitter the TV show, because you're gonna hear everything and
anything sometimes and like just on Twitter. Sometimes it has
nothing to do with politics, what just happened someone, They'll
just be lonely. People are like and you know the
other thing Cox Cable. Actually they're not. They don't hold

(11:40):
their word up because I signed up for this rate
personal Instagram for stars and now I have Stars Latino
and I don't know what these movies are and they're like,
thank you that that this might not be the place
for that. Yeah, they never admonished them in any way,
and they don't because it's a nonprofit and it's it
was born out of the cable industry. Were basically saying, like,

(12:01):
here's our service for people to say, look, here's a
show that was literally just a lot like Big Brother
for a Capitol Hill, Like you can just tune and
see what's going on half the time, it's not interesting,
but that's our service to you. Yeah, I guess. Uh.
Nuke Gingrich was the first person to like kind of
leverage that, right, make it a thinge or at least

(12:21):
use it. Yeah, by like start he started doing like
grand standing, playing to the cameras on space. This will
be on c Span, right, but probably a smart move
that a lot of elderly people are at home watching it.
There is an audience for sure. Trying to bring that
audience a little younger though, get that zeitgeist crowd in

(12:41):
there another people in hosting c Span. Yeah, man, can
you misshut the funk up next? Like you can't? We're nonpartisan, okay?
Uh And finally, what is a myth with something people
think it is true you know to be false. So
along the lines of the uh Alan iverson talking about

(13:01):
practice practice, if you know the backstory his we send
your time about supposed to be a franchise players be
a franchise player. His best friend died the day before
and that's the reason he's like so upset about that.
So that's a myth that he was just being a
punk about like I don't want to practice. It's like
his best friend from childhood had just died, and so
he's like a game not a game that was killed

(13:24):
or did he? I think he was in like in
a stick up sort of situation. So he's going through
a lot of ship and he just let it roll
off his back like all right, everyone to have fun
with that. And it's a it's a thing. The other
one that's in that same space is and this. I
don't know how on earth I saw this press conference
when I was a kid. But like when Kobe uh left,

(13:45):
Lower Marion High School has a press conference in the gym.
Lebron does the decision which he raised money, I believe,
televising it, like a million dollars for Boys and Girls Club.
Everyone ships on him because he said taking my talents
to Miami. Kobe said that in or whatever he said,
I'm taking my talent Oakley flop skin glasses on his

(14:06):
forehead in a suit, standing out a podium, just looking
so like I'm the kind of the school. Thank you
for all being here. I just want to let you
know I'm taking my talents to the NBA. So it's
a myth that Lebron created that it's it was a throwback.
It was kind of the tip of the cap because
Lebron never got recruited. He went right to the NBA,
right really, so this was his chance to like to

(14:28):
do that. That's where that came from. That that sort
of those are two myths. I think that are in
the same sphere. Another fun fact, Kobe Bryant loved those
Oakley sunglasses. If you have his upper deck rookie card,
he has those glasses in again. No, it was like,
I'm pretty sure he was wearing Oakley's during draft. He
had him like on his head. Wow. Yeah, I hate that.

(14:52):
This does not change my opinion about anyone bull. I
love ivering Yeah, I absolutely Alan Iverson I think should
be studied. He needs to do over. Yeah. See this
is his rookie card. Wow, there is from That was
the look though at the in the late nineties, if

(15:12):
you didn't have those Oakleys, you were a fucking loser.
And I would, man, I had so many fake ones
I would buy at the Santi Ali. Yeah, do you
have those fake ones? You think these look absolutely identical
and all the paint would wear out to be Honestly,
I don't know if I've ever seen a real pair
of those someting els Like they were just so pervasive,
like counterfeit. Oakleys were just everywhere that I was like,

(15:34):
I don't know if I know anyone who actually has
a real Also, independent of the fact that his friend
had been killed, like he should have been mad that
anyone would ask him about practice because he didn't have to.
He would like roll up to team buses to go
to the game, like from still being out from the

(15:56):
night before, and be drunk and still dropped fifty points
Like that's how good he was. And so yeah, even
if it wasn't true that his friend had just died
like that, that would be I think he would be
fully within his rights to get mad if someone was like, well,
why don't you try harder in practice? Like it's like
I'm a super not just a franchise player. I'm like

(16:22):
a generational athlete. Like you've never I could like go
out to a football field and throw a football inside
a trash can from like fifty yards away, and like
I haven't picked up a football in a decade. I
could throw this football clear over the mountains. Was an
inflection point, perhaps for the perception of the NBA, because
Larry Brown was a bad guy there, because he was

(16:42):
trying to be like a disciplinarian to millionaires and how
the idea of a coach being like I'm gonna I'm
gonna punish you somehow is laughable. The pendulum of player
power is on the complete other side. Yeah, yeah, hopefully
it stays there because they're the ones who put the
butts in the seat. Yep, um speak for yourself. I

(17:02):
love coaches. Yeah, you do love an animated coach. Yeah,
you stand an animated coach. I stand an animated in
the sense that you write them letters every day and
will murder her majesty, dear pop. Yeah, I do like pop. Yeah.

(17:23):
Did you ever see The Kings of Comedy, the original
Kings of Comedy where there was like some mouth takes
and said with the entertainers doing his Phil Jackson impression. No,
it just involves whistling through his pinkies. That's so good. Yeah,
Like when you look at some of the uh, like
when the guys are miked the time out, Like the

(17:45):
stuff they're saying is not like where'd you play hard?
Transcript would would not look great. Some coaches have like
interesting insight, but a lot of times it will be like, alright, guys,
we need to crash the boards, like right, uh, yeah,
I see the stat we're getting out rebounded. Teamwork, guys
passed the ball that passive. Let's let's let's let's be

(18:09):
a little bit more, a little more patient. Okay, maybe that, okay,
a little more patients. Oh this guy who master Um,
all right, well let's talk about Haco Bell Totel, the
Taco Bell Hotel. I like Haco Bell Hogo Bello because Miles,

(18:31):
it seems like you're experiencing intense fomo. Oh my look
of course. Yes. Yeah. My blood type is fucking Diablo sauce. Yeah,
the Doritos locos. That right, you're into that. I don't.
I'm not really into. I'm more with like staple ones
like when when the when they had the old logo
around the time of the demolition man uh promotion they did, Yeah,

(18:54):
because they redid the logo, you know what I mean.
And they used to be running for the border that
problematic tagline. Um, so do you remember that same bell sound? Yeah?
I think they're still still belled up. But you know,
as we all know, or at least I know very intensely,
the rooms for the Taco Bell Hotel and Palm Springs

(19:17):
ran out in two minutes. Two minutes. Two minutes were
both on the site. I was using a VPN from Bologna, Italy,
Italia even so you went to Italy. Yes, I have
left talking about that at some point it's really great. Actually,
if you haven't been, you simply must go. But to
add to that, I was unable to get on there.

(19:39):
Most people weren't. We all weren't. And the one thing
I was always interested in in the promos, like there
will be a special menu because it's a hotel. It's
chic now and we've now we're getting a little preview
of what those dishes are, and they, you know, they're
really elevating their game. The first one avocado toast Ada. Okay,
it features multigrain toast with avocado mash, breakfast radish is

(20:02):
Chipotle seasoned sorghum, cereal grain, and Diablo puffs. I'm not
sure what the Diablo puffs are, but it looks like,
you know, pretty it looks like avocado toast. Yeah, tostados
are a thing that there's nothing there's no toast. It
is purely a nominal hat tip to the fact that
it's Taco Bell Is. I knew nothing about this and

(20:25):
it's already in life each day that we go, is
this real life? But this is really compounding that. Yeah,
Taco Bell Hotel. Yeah, it's a pop up, it's actually
a brand activation you have to understand now experience. I

(20:47):
do like that put in the marketing terms for me.
But it actually in Spanish toast that means toasted, so
I guess you could get away with that. Also, the
toasted cheddar club, it's just a sandwich. That one looks
like the most regular thing. This makes me less upset
that I did not get these. Okay, the next one though,
fire chip chili less red triangle chips. I mean the

(21:10):
chili healers look pretty good. Now are the red triangle
chips derritos? I don't know, man, they're fire chips, so
maybe they're coated in fire sauce like fire sauce dust. Yeah, yeah,
I don't know. They are doing it like so literally
when they describe it like an alien seeing doritos for
the first time, like triangular triangular star angle of chip

(21:33):
starts pyramids for your consumption. Uh. And then also the
one that's very interesting is a Baha Blast as they
say birthday freeze, and it basically just looks like a
frozen fucking It just looks like a Baja Blast, slushy
sprinkles in it. But again, Baha Blast exclusive to Taco Bell.

(21:54):
The Baha Blast Birthday Freeze. Yeah, so it's got little
birthday cake like fun fetti in the Baha Blast Man.
Do you think we should I'm gonna. I think I'm
just gonna hang around outside and try and just sneak in. Yeah,
I mean you know what I mean. It's probably will
go pretty well. I think so I'm pretty good aconds
pretty lacked security, yes, well, based on how I used

(22:17):
to see people like sneak into like music festivals and stuff.
Where there's a will, there's a way, and if there's
Baha Blast freeze, I'm going to be there. Um. I'm
disappointed by this because it seems like other than the
birthday Baha Freeze, everything is more hotel influenced than Taco

(22:38):
Bell mploy. Yeah. Well, I think if you ate Taco
Bell for every meal for even two nights straight, the
bathrooms would be a disaster. Yeah. I think you have
to introduce regular for me, but everyone and it sold
out so quickly. Is that the thing let's talking about.
Everyone jokingly goes get diarrhea, but I love it. I mean, look,
truth be told, I don't get diarrhea from Taco Bell.

(22:59):
I just try and see human I have garbage stomach.
I just do weird farts after taco bell. Nothing other
than that. Do you genuinely enjoy it when you're eating it,
or like a childhood thing? I like it. I like it.
It's but the thing is, it's in a it occupied
like in my brain, it occupies another space for like
trash food. I don't hold it up as like, you know,

(23:20):
what is a fucking culinary experience Taco Bell. I'm a
creature of habit I grew up eating taco bell, I
smoke weed. I like the things that it does to
me deep down inside, and so that's where I come from.
Nice smoke weed, and I still eat it. So I
don't even have this. So I guess maybe to your point,
it maybe is a momentum from childhood that I cannot break.

(23:41):
Like it's just the once I broke taco bell inertia
as a child, I'm reaching terminal belocity. I'm probably gonna
every three years, Oh yeah, taco Bell. It's late. There's
nothing else. I love Taco Bell, and then I'll have
I enjoy every bite, but then yeah, that thing never again,

(24:04):
and then three years later the same process. So I
feel with Arby's, I don't eat Arbi's as much as
I should. Changes Man, you were an Arby's kid, Well, no,
I see that's the thing. I didn't get Arbies as
much as a kid. And then I had my first
Arby's around like thirteen, and I was like, Yo, what
the funk this beef and cheddar with horsees sauce. That's
actually how I was with Taco Bell. I didn't have

(24:25):
it as a very young person. But then I had
it with a friend of mine's family after a basketball game,
and it was a revelation. I like the anonymity that
you've a friend a friend's family who shall not be named. Right.
I feel like people here have to be so careful
when they're raising their children healthy and natural and non

(24:46):
GMO and vegan even and because all you're doing is
raising a little child that sees all their friends or
even just one friend you go over to sleep over
like that Taco Bell. It lives in their brain forever.
And then when they're old enough, they're like, I mean
this all the time to me. Yeah, that's had so
many people had immigrant mom did everything. I want this thing.
Now we can make that at home. Now that's bad

(25:08):
for you. It's poison cut to me like at every
like American kid friend's house, being like, can I drink
all these range dressing eating actual poison? Because my mom
said it's poison? Is that good? That must be equally good?
All right, We're gonna take a quick break. We'll be
right back. And we're back, and I think all three

(25:39):
of us spent some time watching Mr Muller this morning
and to end and to end you got up at five.
I didn't set an alarm, I said, Well, part of
me was like, you know what, I know that it's
going to be sort of each side repeating the same
things over and over for three hours, which it was.
But part of me wanted to see his opening statements

(26:02):
and to like when you when you actually watch it
and you get the feel of the rhythm of it,
is when you really start like seeing it for what
it is and like where what the what the playbook
was for the Republicans with the playbook was for the Democrats?
As TV uh, it was excruciating. It was one of
the worst things I've ever watched on TV. As a performance,

(26:25):
I think he came off as somewhere between Bartleby the
Scrivener and dehydrated SpongeBob, like the like mother did. Yes,
I said, as I said before, I will not be
referring to anything right to you dos year. That was

(26:48):
That's where the never really seeing him in public really
came into focus. All the all the images are kind
of touched up where he's still like a square job marine. Yeah,
he looks like he could land a fucking right on
your job. Yeah you see him. Yeah he's an elderly man. Yeah, no,
he's seventy four. And I think that showed it was

(27:09):
It was one of those moments where it's like, don't
meet your heroes, guys. It's like, if you're one of
these like liberal people who's like, you know, wearing your
fucking Mueller time had to toe outfit, be like here
we go, Bobby, Yeah, and he's like what who who speaking?
But hidden within that is like because it did start

(27:30):
so rough and bumpy and a lot I can't Yeah,
I guess is that a thing that like because he
seemed confused constantly sort of like a not panopticon, but
like in this half circle sort of situation. So like
when some voice out of nowhere, you know, like there're
people literally end to end so it's not like they're

(27:50):
a leg goes on. It's like big serving number. This
Commress person there would be like somebody would be like
three minutes into their question and then he'd be like, oh,
there you are. I'm sorry. Can you repeat that you're
sucking the whole part, dude, I'm sorry, repeat that the
whole fucking part, dude. No, the question, I'm sorry. Please

(28:12):
speaking to the mike. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Is at
mike discipline also, lets left something to be Yeah, I
think rest assured he will not be guessing on this podcast.
And people who are political, like who pay attention to
the political scene and like have seen him test five before,
said he seemed very much like he had lost a
step or something. Yeah, in the past, hopes are really

(28:36):
resting on a guy who desperately does not want to
speak in public. You just did never have all of
your cards or whatever eggs in that basket, whatever the
analogy is. Because they're gonna do that, they're gonna be
like a little tight, a little nervous. Yeah, there are
a few things, like I mean between a him from
the get go, and even before he actually actually sat down,

(28:57):
he was saying I'm only going to stick to what
is in the report. I will not fucking speak about
anything else. Don't ask me to fucking give you insight
into how we were deliberating within this office. I will
talk about what's on paper. And despite that, everyone kept
doing the thing that he told them he wasn't gonna do. Right,
I'm not going to read my report to you right.

(29:19):
And he had coming into the second part, had to
make one slight corrections. Otherwise, he you know, coherently, even
though it sounded weird, gathered his thoughts, share said what
he said to not contradict himself in any way. People. Oh,
he didn't know the report. It's an enormous report. You
know he would reference it. What are you talking about references? Okay,

(29:40):
here's what I can say on that. It just showed
the glaring difference between if you don't speak with ultra confidence,
people will make it look like everything you said was idiotic.
If you say ran the ramparts and took over the
airports with confidence, people like it was pretty good. Yeah.
Well that's when you can tell like a out of
the takes were from people who were just overly invested

(30:03):
in what the how the TV clips, the Twitter moments
were gonna look like where it's like, oh man, he's
he's he's stumbling to find stuff in the notebook. It's like, no, no, no,
might hold on speaking of the fucking substance of what
he's saying is important, you know that. Also it does
indicate how much or how much people put into like, well,

(30:23):
how how fucking confident was he when he's right, yeah, yeah,
I mean I think as TV it will play better
like on the news and on like as it's watching
it Just straight was brutal because like even when he
was referring to something in the report, there would be
like thirty seconds where he was having to like locate
it and then be like, okay, there it is. And

(30:44):
but the content of what he said was pretty clear,
right there was. I mean, there wasn't a fucking thing
that he said that Republicans could run with and be
like you see Mueller fucking all the day from the
right of better in regards to this testimony, are he
doesn't know his own report, He was struggling to find

(31:07):
things in his own report. He didn't really understand. Fact,
it's so clear that the Democrats are actually the real
ones behind the wheel of this thing. Oh thanks to
the Democrats for that terrible showing. Mueller looks lost. But
I mean, aside from those parts, everything that was actually
substantive that he said was not a good look for them.
It was like if you if a crime had occurred

(31:30):
that they went out and caught the majority of the suspects,
there was still one at large and they just didn't
quite have enough and maybe it filtered into similar to
like a mafia structure. So the run, Wow, we've we've
uh capture all these people, we've tried them, we've convicted them,
and then this would be like a courtroom drama where
the defense would go, yes, but the person who initially

(31:52):
called nine one one has a history of alcoholism? Can
we focus on that? That's it? Right? Why is that
what you're focusing on? So you were the detective, Yes,
well this guy isn't even hot or young, so I
don't know what is this man um? Yeah, I mean,
here are some things that I just had as like
big takeaways that like again weren't great when they were

(32:14):
sprinkled throughout six seven hours of testimony. But his report,
he specifically reiterated his report did not exonerate Trump was
not a witch hunt. Russia interfered on Trump's behalf. They
are interfering while we sit here. So Trump just being
like blase and his administration not taking active measures to

(32:38):
stop the active measures is not a good thing. Trump
welcomed their interference. Describing Trump embracing wicked leaks as problematic
is an understatement, because they kept trying to be like,
is that that's unpatriotic? Correct, And He's like, why I can't,
I don't want to say it like that. Well, it
would not be good if he was actually embracing a
hostile foreign agent or an intelligence agency, that would be problematic.

(33:03):
Problematic is an understatement, right, Yeah, damn, you bring this
hero like out of the depths of the coliseum. Everyone
there's waiting in the first sound you hear is him
go lions? Uh yeah, some of it, He said, some
of the people he was investigating on Trump's side weren't

(33:23):
telling the truth and somewhere outright liars uh And would
generally agree that lies from Trump's staff members impeded his investigation.
Uh and denied. He denied for the first time Trump's
claimed that he was trying to get hired as FBI direct. Yeah,
uh well, then it's I think maybe the screaming of
the GOP helped people not real if you were, I

(33:45):
guess on the fence. I mean, this hearing was really
only to maybe sway the slim number of voters who
aren't quite sure what to make of this. And it
seemed like the Republicans in that first hearing in the
Judiciary Committee, they were just like, let's just fucking scream
at this guy and treat him like a piece of ship. Right.
There's one moment where Louie Gomert, who's a Republican, He's like,

(34:07):
I would like to enter this document, this article Robert
Muller behind the mask, and then like he's smirking. He's
like sure, dude, and then goes on and just screams
like it just listen. I don't even need to give
you context because even his question, I wasn't even sure
where he was coming from. Okay, the thing he was saying,

(34:28):
He's like, isn't it unfair to these people who are
involved in this investigation? They've been called trees and ass
and blah. And he's like, yeah, but that's why I
tried to wrap up my interviews with them so I
could move on. And then he just keeps screaming, and
you see the big Justice department with people that hate
that person coming after him, and then I special council

(34:50):
appointed who hires dozen or more people that hate that person.
And he knows he's innocent, he's not corruptly acting in
order to see that justice is done. What he's doing
is not obstructing justice. He is pursuing justice. And the

(35:11):
fact that you ran it up two years means you
perpetuate injustice. That was my favorite of all the times
he didn't his non answers because they were over two times.
He was like, not fam I'm not talking about it.
When he said I take your question, was my favorite.
Passed right back. Yeah, I take your question. I heard

(35:33):
your question, and let's move forward to eat this right.
But yeah again. I think that's where Louis Gombert's attempted
for that that clip specifically, I think was saying Donald
Trumble was doing all this ship because he was actually
getting at the truth, which is how that's why I
had to lie to investigators, because that the truth is
actually the lie that he's telling. So he's pursuing not
to see that and I screamed when I said that,

(35:55):
So that'll be on Fox. They were trying to play
that angle a little bit of like this is un American.
And I liked how every third, like Democrat, especially questioning
and would be like you, you've got a purple heart,
You've dedicated you. It was just so good little level
of contrast. The tone changed though in the Intel Committee,
because they those Congress members were less h into like

(36:18):
badgering him. A lot of them actually thanked him to
start off. That wasn't as that wasn't happening as much
in the Judiciary Committee. It probably got some like Intel
that it was like testing bad with news for them
to badger a purple right, this guy looks like what
people think they're hero. Dad is like so whatever. But
people had mentioned, especially all you know, you have all
these Twitter attorneys and things that are like, well, reading

(36:42):
this and looking at there's probably a sealed indictment somewhere
at the moment he's not president that will get delivered
and that feels more probable than ever, and yet I
think it will still have no impact. Well, a lot
of people were yeah, a lot of there were a
lot of articles like written based on his responsive saying
like if the you know, after leaving office, can the
president be indict And he goes like, yeah, sure, but

(37:03):
I don't think I think some people immediately took it
as oh, when he's not sen he will be more
so than like, yeah, based on the the guidelines I had,
which is, you can't indict a sitting president legally, yes,
that is possible. Yeah, I mean this, but this is
a pretty so one of the Democratic Congress people said, so,

(37:24):
it's fair to say the president tried to protect himself
by asking staff to falsify records relevant to an ongoing investigation.
And Mueller said, I would say that's generally a summary,
isn't that just isn't that basically? So the president obstructed justice. Yes,
he tried to say as many times like I'm not
gonna say impeachment, but I'll use this one phrase of

(37:46):
like and then there are other people whose responsibilities it
is under the constitution to take action. Congress when they
went through all four whatever it is, like articles or
objects of obstruction and like the criteria, and this happen
and this each time, and so they laid it out like, yeah,
all of them have happened. It's been undeniable obstruction, which

(38:08):
is when the when the GOP realized that that was happening,
to go, what was the point of this? Just to
get him to say that we should impeach the president
And it's like, okay, relax, but yeah, that that's what
it's looking like, isn't it. And we went back to
your law school and we found all these books and
he laughed. He laughed at that one too, when it's
like there is no office of exoneration and he's like, well,

(38:30):
I'm not going to get embroiled in a legal discussion
about this, Like if you're just smart and you take
it for what he's saying, he's like saying, this does
not this isn't because I did not charge him, is
not an indication that nothing bad, like there was no transgression.
And I think that's where they were like, well, there's
no conceptually, exoneration doesn't exist legally, so therefore he's not like,
no one can exonerate him, so that means he's innocent.

(38:51):
No obstruction inclusion. The way it's being treated by Trump
and the right wing is completely out of line with
what we're saying here. It's that Trump seems to just
be acting as though it was a complete exoneration. Right
the hearing in which he said he was not exonerated,

(39:13):
or it was the report was an exoneration, he's treating
as if it were an exoneration. Yeah, I mean, the
truth is a force of nature as much as like
you know, we're all like, oh man, he look, he
definitely lost that step and all this other stuff. His
sort of really measured answers or maybe just general slowness
or just maybe slow rule in this anility and his

(39:35):
just demeanor I think helps him a lot from any
kind of criticisms that could come from the right. I
think obviously on the left, a lot of people were
frustrated because they're like just sucking see the thing, Like, right,
just go step further and be like, I just want
to say it, first of all, everything I wrote in
here is true. There's nothing false in here. This is
a real investigation. So first take that, Like, I think
people wanted a moment like that, and he didn't do it.

(39:58):
Because that's as everyone who has who knows Robert Mullin
spoke to, like journalists say, he's just an upstanding sort
of servant of the constitution and he comes off. Yes,
he may have been boring, but he definitely came off
as nonpartisan because he was just as not disinterested in
elaborating on questions from the left as he was from
the right. And he didn't he didn't come off like

(40:20):
he had any kind of agenda either. He's just more
like I'm just go ahead, and but I know what
I'm gonna say, and what I want is close as
like a robot or a computer you could get to
to be like, now, what do you think I'm not
allowed to think right? But your data shows this, Yes,
but my algorithm hasn't. Like, but my programming has kept
me from elaborating, try a new angle. But yeah, they

(40:44):
I think the one thing that was just always funny
to see is like he every time I'd be like,
just you know, I'm not talking about steel doss yet
we're not going to talk about it has nothing to
do with me. That's something else going on inside the department.
Here's the good news. What a clown there was. So
but I guess that shows you too, how like one
dimensional the line of thinking was for the Republicans, which

(41:06):
was like, just hit him on the steel dossier. Just
hit that steel dossier over and over and then this
house of cards will come crumble, crashing down. And every
time there was like a string of questions and he's like,
I'm not talking about that, okay, but what about this
thing Christopher Steele? Okay, as mentioned, it will not be
And then it doesn't matter how old you are, how
much you stammer, never lost as cool, never got rattled,

(41:29):
even with the uh where page? Huh which one of you? Yeah,
And he was like pretty unequivocal for most the most
part when he'd be like, I believe what is written
in here, so it's in there. Those are my beliefs.
But you know, hearing that he would have loved to
interview Trump was it wasn't nice too. It's like that

(41:50):
would have helped a lot um. But I think one
thing that Republicans cannot deny, no matter how they want
to paint his performance or what democrat ats or their
intent was, was that not a single one of them
was able to disprove anything in that report. Every question
was just around like, oh, well, Peter struck at LEASA

(42:12):
page are basically Hillary Clinton in a in a trench coat, right,
pretending to be them, and like just ship like that.
It was never attacking the actual evidence that was discovered,
which is the most damning part. And that's where I think,
I mean, if you're not fully a partisan, you might
look at that and be like, what are they what
are they really getting at here? I like how he
answered that, where he's like, I've twenty years I've been

(42:33):
interviewing people. I've never asked their political affiliation. It's can
they do the job well? Right? And also, if you
were a career prosecutor working the Department of Justice, if
you were putting a team together and go, well, hold on,
who'd you vote for? I'd be like, what the funk
is this? Are you only looking for partisans or something? Yeah,
versus like as he said, no, man, we're fucking professionals.
Like that's not that's just not how this ship works.

(42:54):
But the inanity of Trump being able to say, yeah,
I answered all their questions in a timely manner and
told the absolute truth. And I think he refuted all
of that today. Did you answer your questions? No? Were
there some things that were inaccurate? Yes? And it took
a team of people writing it, not doing it in person.
And yet Trump will come out and say like, yeah, yeah,

(43:16):
I talked to him right that that the group that
still follows him. The fact that that is not in
any way bothersome is insurmountable, I believe as far as
like getting people to be rational in any way, Yeah,
this is probably not doing anything to convince any of them,
but yeah, it'll I think we'll see what it does

(43:39):
when it comes to pulling of independent people. I mean,
obviously nothing. Mitch McConnell is a fucking troll who will
never do anything. But like you would hope that even
hearing Robert Muther say to this day that the that
the Russians are still engaged in full on factory, that
maybe he'll actually entertain this bill that's in a Senate

(44:00):
of protecting the elections, I'm like, what if he's telling
you it's a it's a threat. But again, the endgame
for them is Trump has to stay in office. As yeah,
if if if we got to cheat our way into
this one, we gotta fucking do that. Um. And that's
what's even more frightening about all of this too, is
like those are the sides where it's like, well, shit,
if Trump's out, then like this ship is really a

(44:21):
rap or who knows, I mean, what the Democrats are
doing power. But yeah, yeah, well uh yeah, And there
was also the point the part I think one of
the more kind of open moments was when he talked
about how he didn't suppeen to the president because he
knew it would take years for that to like wind

(44:42):
its way through the court. He was weighing that versus
actually getting answers, which he didn't think he was going
to get anyways. But then they use that as an
opportunity to be like, well but I mean obviously that's
maybe that's something else. Maybe because he was innocent, maybe
that's why he didn't do it, or maybe there wasn't enough,
like why didn't you? I still blame the media mostly
for like putting this sped up timeline on him, like

(45:05):
publishing his report, because like it was extremely fast for
a Special Council investigation, like compared to other ones, like
they they take a long time to get this many arrests.
He was working fast. But people were like, when's this
fucking report going to come out? Guys, Like it's been
it's been a year already. It's like, well, Ron Contra

(45:28):
took like seven years. Um, Anyways, Old Ron Contra'd be
a cool name, ronn just only only every went by Ronald. Dude,
it's such a cool dude, ron Contra. No, No, I'm Ronald,
my Ronald. To her, I'm Ronald Contra. I Ronald Contra,

(45:54):
Ronald Contra. You're getting very fast and looser. Yeah, that's
our shitty applause sign it realized. All right, we're gonna
take a quick break. We'll be right back and we're back. Uh.

(46:22):
Facebook just paid five billion dollars for something. Uh all right,
that's it man, that's a lot of good. When did
you guys start mailing it? In mailing jes right? Yeah,
but they're also in the news. There's a headline. Wait
what was their settlement again? Right? Yeah, yeah, what was

(46:46):
it for? They basically got hit, got hit with that
five billion dollar fine four quote, violating consumers privacy and
almost twenty times greater than the largest privacy or data
security penalty ever imposed worldwide. But five billions of fun
you can drop in the Atlantic bucket billions are that?
But what isn't? Aren't they worth a million hundred billion

(47:08):
or something like? Right, that's it's still a significant amount. Well,
I'm just saying the government agencies in this country have
a real low bar when it comes to like what
is a real penalty, especially against like institutions that are
like have billion dollars in the bank, like banks and
ship that they fucking are just like yeah, sure, I
know you'd like we're working around like upwards of you know,

(47:30):
hundreds of billions and like bad transactions. We're charging you
a billion dollars. Right, wells Fargo, good thing. Your friend
is now my boss here in the government. Um, but
let's talk about this employee who was interviewed for Wired,
who has a background as a CIA officer turned Facebook employee. Yeah,

(47:53):
and this woman, Yale Iceland Todd I think is her name, Eisenstadt.
Yale Eisenstadt, Yes, worked for the CIA as it was
a diplomat in East Africa adviser to Vice President Biden
and before that, and then came because they were like, hey,
we have I think an election meddling problem. We want

(48:14):
to check it out. And she joined as head of
Global Elections Integrity OPS. And that was meaning like hey,
you're in the CIA, you get it. You know how
this ship works, Like what can we be doing like
safeguard democracy around the world, which is the CIA is
number one, number one priority the lifeguarding democracy, safeguarding oil

(48:35):
profits with targeted assassination, target assassinations, and yes and if refuse,
jackals will do that. Um. But then on day two
she realized that the job probably wasn't gonna be all
that chill because she was like instantly there like her
boss is like, yeah, we're gonna I think we're changing
it up a little bit based on what we need
and we're just gonna make you a manager for now.

(48:56):
It's like, I'm from the funk. What okay? So when
they asked her, she goes on this interview, she says, quote,
once I walked in that door, I was never once
empowered to do the work I was hired to do.
And in fact, more than not being empowered, I was
purposefully sidelined. It's Facebook. Everyone talks about it being a
flat organization. Everybody talks about how anybody can go talk
to anybody. It was never that way for me. My

(49:16):
boss intentionally never let me participate in any of the
meetings that were specifically about the job I was hired
to do. So you're like, huh, that's interesting, Well what
else did they do? Like what what kind of stuff
they do in for an interference. Her first part was
just sort of like, um, they just kind of did
the bare minimum, which isn't much. But she says the
foreign interference part, this might sound odd, but should be

(49:39):
the easiest part to fix. Of course, people can always
game it, but there are basic tools you can put
in place. There were advertisers who paid in rubles. Those
are things that shouldn't have been that hard to figure out.
That was like her day one, and I was like,
you accept rupe? Uh okay, so why don't we do that?
And I think maybe that's when theyre But when she
was asked like do you think you were just a

(50:00):
publicity stunt? She didn't think she was, but I think
or she didn't believe she was. But as her work
became clearer, I think that's when she realized that any
suggestion she made was going to butt up against what
the business model is of all of these social media platforms.
And she's very clear it's not just about Facebook or

(50:23):
Google or Twitter or YouTube whatever. This is just how
all social media works. And I think this is what's
very interesting and something that we deeply need to consider. Quote,
the business model is to keep you engaged. It's not
even a question of whether advertising is bad or good.
It's a question of what do they have to do
to keep you engaged long enough to get those ads
in front of your eyeballs. Their tools are doing what

(50:44):
they can to keep us engaged, which is taking us
down more and more extreme rabbit holes, which is polarizing
us more and more because the salacious talking points and
salacious click baity headlines or what keep people's eyeballs on
their screens, And the more and more you can keep
us outraged, keep us angry, keep us polarized, it just
makes it much easier for Russia to come in and
exploit that. For me, the biggest issue is to fix

(51:04):
a business model that intentionally feeds on the worst part
of who we are as humans. And yes, people can say,
isn't it just human beings? Is it Facebook or Google
or Twitter or YouTube's fault that people love this stuff.
It's not their fault. But they're absolutely manipulating it and
exacerbating it and getting into our psychology in order to
keep us on their screen. So I can't buy the
isn't it just human nature? Argument? Right? They're engineering things

(51:27):
to manipulate human nature and now yeah, to the point
where it's like, well, funk, I guess if we keep
turning adding spice to the recipe, it will just it's
already starting to burn. But if it's like not, man,
I guess we need spicier ship to get people fucking
going to keep so I can serve you and add
for shambong, whatever the funk it is. But I think

(51:48):
that's really yeah, I think that's the that's part of
the business model that I think legislators also have to
look at of like, oh, you're purely guided by I
need advertisers to buy ads. The only way I can
make our our platform attractive to advertisers by saying I
can keep idiots staring at this fucking thing for X

(52:09):
hours at a time. There's this book Good to Grade
that's like this guy did a study on companies that
had like sustained success, and one of the like main
things he says they all have in common is called
the hedgehog principle, which is like they know one thing,
like they just always have the same sort of core

(52:31):
value at the heart of everything they do. So like
with I forget what the like Gillette was one of
the companies, and like it was like some manner of
like shaving, like staying focused on being the best in
the world, a like providing like shaving things. So uh
with Facebook, like it seems like the entire like d

(52:52):
n A of the country of the company is built on,
you know, is built counter to actually like protecting people's
privacy and not manipulating them and not making it easy
for them to be manipulated. So it doesn't like you
can't just put a single person in there and change
like the molecular structure of the company, Like that's just

(53:14):
not an organism. They everything about it is built to
be a successful company that makes money. And the way
they do that is the opposite of what we are
asking them to do. So it's not going to come
from within, like they would either need to be dismantled
or you would need to put like a government agency
inside the company that like regulates them and is like

(53:38):
sitting in on their media to be like totally unprecedented. Yeah,
And the funny thing, like the the one thing that
she was saying, like based on her working there and
understanding like seeing like oh, their whole thing is to
know what the funky you want to see and just
keep accelerating your need to keep looking. And she's that's
where she was like, Yeah, I'm in this unique position
where I've worked at the CIA, and I can tell

(54:00):
you Facebook knows fucking way more about you than even
the CIA does. So that's troubling. Yeah, because the CIA
knows a lot about me. Yeah. The screen, Oh he
used to run this really weird tumbler. I'll get that. Yeah,

(54:20):
a lot of weird, wacky stuff on there. Um, we
all saw the I mean that's not to say everyone did,
but the people that like even the Lego movie, all
these things that are about like dystopian sort of futures,
and everyone went okay, just just kind of keep a
heads up. There were people that were late adopters to
phones and then smartphones, people that were late joining Facebook
any of those social media platforms to be like, God,

(54:42):
damn it, all my friends are gone. I mean they're
going to just live out here in the woods rubbing
sticks together and never see anyone. I got to kind
of join the hive and if it became like inescapable
for us, so I felt like, no, no, no, well,
we'll all kind of monitor each other and like, hey,
keep an eye out, big brother. Right, we all read
that and out. It's just so we're so immersed in

(55:02):
it's so oppressive that we're like now I'm little brother,
you know, and it just seems absolutely impossible. Like you're
talking about like we need someone to come and regulate
that will never happen. We have no power to do
that to in any way hold them accountable when there
are hundreds of billions of dollars and if you remember
when Zuckerberg went up to testify in front of Congress,

(55:22):
these motherfuckers don't know what fate, they don't know what
the funk this is. Like those Congress were like, my
granddaughter got a game, that's it. I was racist, Like
well you are, Steve King. So but like even then,
we're we don't even have the legislators that are equipped
with the idea that conceptually what this is and what

(55:42):
the potential is of this kind of thing. And that's
where we're like, oh man and and she and the
this CI a former CIA person, former Facebook and play
even pointed to that. She's like, yeah, I don't even
know if Congress is fucking equipped even under like conceptually
get down to what this is. She was like, we
we need a targeted assess nation to take care of
your problems like the Jackal compromat. Then maybe he shouldn't

(56:07):
fly private too much. The thing about, uh, do you
have friends who have to this day to this day? Uh?
Not you who are not on Facebook? Uh? I have.
I have one friend who has avoided my space every
fucking social media the whole. He's a ghost. He is
not fucking available on this ship. And I commend him

(56:30):
because now I'm It wasn't even like him being like, oh,
I don't know. He was just sort of like, what
I gotta do? Sign up? I don't even know. I
get a fucking picture on my nam I'm good. And
then like now I'm like this guy's got it all
figured out. But it's funny, like I feel like there
are there are kinds of people who were so suspicious
that never engaged in it, and then people like my

(56:51):
my friend who was just too lazy and didn't care
enough about technology to be interested in it until he
was trying to use Tinder and he's like, you need
a Facebook account and he's like, fuck it, I'm just
gonna use okay Cupid. Then I don't need it for him. Yeah,
I like his style. No. I mean, I barely funk
with Facebook, but I do funk with other social media platforms.

(57:13):
It does seem like young people make fun of people
who have Facebook, which is at least a little bit uplifting.
But they're gonna age into a category. They go, I
want to see everyone's baby photos. They're gonna merge into
it where because you see all that stuff like Snapchat
is such a great thing for the temporary nature of existence,
like they're they're living life kind of knowing the previous

(57:34):
generation was like that was your great grandmother's table, So
you own that now and you have to keep it forever,
and it means nothing to me. It takes up a
lot of space. It's been in the family. And the
younger people are like, oh I had this photo. It
was the greatest day of my life. It disappeared, never
see it again. Such as life, what's next? What's the
next thing? I'm in the present, So potentially that could be.

(57:56):
I mean, of course, there's still ways to data mine
all of your stuff and sell your information with that,
but it's it's a little less like every time people
sit down and type anything on Facebook. They're saying, here's
where I am, here's what I like, Here's how you
can market to me that this never goes away. And
that's what I've been saying. Snapchat is an entire philosophy.

(58:17):
It's not just a platform, man, it's all about Uh. Yeah.
It was interesting. I heard an interview with Janine Garofalo
where she she like still has the like mindset of
like somebody in the late nineties who's like, I don't
really funk with computers, but like you know, for like

(58:37):
good like reasons that at the time might have seemed paranoid,
but now but like it was just wild because I
was like, oh, yeah, I haven't heard somebody like this
since I was like ten years old. Like people just
like stopped having this concern. Everyone was just like, yeah,
we joined, everything's good now. But she was like, yeah,
I don't really do computers and like I don't put

(59:00):
anything on the Internet. And I was like, what a loser.
But two years in retrospect and like, oh I can
get those likes. For years, I didn't have any of
the stuff, And I sent out a mailing list through
my website starting in like maybe two thousand seven or
eight something like that. And then it finally like avalanche,
where I just I couldn't reach out and get in
touch with people. They were only available through the network,

(59:22):
sort of like damn. You used to be able to
like search them or go to their website or something
like you might even have someone's actual phone number written down.
And then so I'm doing a bunch of stand up
shows coming up, and I sent out the mailing list
for the first time in like two years. It felt fantastic.
It was just this feeling like that's how I'd love
to communicate. Here's what I'm up to once a year

(59:42):
or so. If you want to email me back, great.
But I don't feel like it's healthy for humans to
have to constantly be like, I'm not dead. Here's the thing.
I'm still alive. That is, I do feel like they're
people who post a lot a lot on social media.
I do feel like that comes from an existential place

(01:00:04):
of I'm not dead every time they post. Yeah, I
exist and I matter and sent and this is the
version of me that you will accept. Yes, if I
look at someone's thing and they have like fifty thousand tweets,
even if I like them, I will never follow. You
need something that I can't give you. It's it's terrified. Yea,

(01:00:25):
this is coming from a place of deep unnerving need
to screaming to the void man um real quickly. There's
a story I read recently that I was pretty shocked
by that car accidents are way deadlier for women than men.
Uh And the reason for that is because cars and

(01:00:47):
their safety features are designed around the body size of men.
Like crashed has dummies are usually man's size, like Chad's
and into yeah, exactly just Chad's with like it's deadly,
or for people who don't have huge square jaws. They
started making women crash test dummies in like the early

(01:01:10):
two thousand's, but the crash test dummies are five ft
tall and ten pounds, which the average woman in America
is five ft three and I think and seventy pounds
us nothing works right, so it's not they're just like
not even trying, it seems like, and yeah, that sucks

(01:01:35):
because a lot of women out there. I hear you
guys are sitting near someone who was nearly a billionaire.
If I had just focused when I was like eight,
the seatbelt hits you in the cheek and in vehicles
back then, it was just that bolt. There was no
convenient like pull it out, slide this. But I would
always say that I either have to tuck it under
my arm or put it so I just had a

(01:01:56):
lap band and the rest would go behind me, go
behind And then my dad would always give me grief,
like why don't you just wear it normally? Gets head
my cheek. I get to just slide this part down.
Where isn't it like adjustable? So if I just focused
at eight would have been great. But I understand the
place that actually has that patent right, and he won't share.

(01:02:18):
That's why I'm not a millionaire. He's always in his
helicopter assassination bro. Oh yeah, he's undoubtedly going to be.
He flies in a helicopter. I'm telling you, man, easy
to make it look like next time. Is that what
happened to the cold guy? You think, oh yeah, oh
oh yeah, yeah, oh my god, but yeah, about sucked there.

(01:02:42):
Even even though they are adjustable now and then if
you've got boobs, I mean it's just uncomfortable. Yeah, I
mean they just don't take into account like the you
know dimensions where like fat distribution, like any of that
stuff of women. The odds of serious injury or death
for female car crash victims is seventy three percent higher
than for males. And that's all born out of the

(01:03:05):
fact that all that safety all those safety tests are
sort of built around this, this biased test where it's
like just hulking dumb. I mean, I don't know if
it's all built on that, but that seems crazy to
me that that's who did this report? Is this real city, lads?
Is this in the US? Are these based off us? Car? Man?
I don't know. Give us your data here, man, seventy

(01:03:27):
three percent. Prove your point, man, I take your question.
That's how I'll deal with anything that I don't know
the answer too. I take your question. Uh, David, it's
been a pleasure having you here on the daily like
Gus once again? Where could people find you? Follow you? Likewise? Guys, Well,
I'll be burning down my social media account soon. They're

(01:03:47):
useless anyway. But David Huntsberger dot com has a bunch
of tour dates. I'm going to be starting um tomorrow, Yeah, tomorrow,
July Houston, the the weekend in Austin, Texas at the
Velvita Room, then Denver, Watertown, South Dakota, um Boise, Idaho, Sacramento,
um Portland's San Francisco, and then in Minneapolis. So if

(01:04:11):
you live in any of those cities, I'd love to
see you. And I have a special I made like
five years ago. It just sort of disappeared into the
abyss and randomly it became available on Amazon Prime. So
if you have that, you can stream it for free.
Get and I know people listening, like I'm not ampared
to the grid, good for you, but if you know
someone that is, you can listen to it there and
it's different. If nothing else, it was like we combined

(01:04:33):
a bunch of artists and animators and it's got a
lot of funky, weird visuals with it, so it's fun.
If nothing else, I hope you you can just put
it on silent and do drugs and enjoy yourself. You've
been enjoying. I feel bad reading this tweet because it's
a bit self aggrandizing, I think is the term people use,

(01:04:54):
and that's the only kind of aggrandizing people ever reference.
But it's but I don't. I mean, it was just
referencing that spe shoal and we put a ton of
work into it, and you know, like when you make
stuff that you have to, there's always this well we
did just to make it, just to enjoy it. But
it is nice when people actually enjoy it. And I
feel bad for not sharing a tweet that's that's just
red hot and really captures the moment and elevates someone's

(01:05:16):
social media profile into the new category. But this is
from at Pine Dagger and it says, man, I don't
have the words to describe how much one had a
beast hit home with me. Thank you for having the
words and animations to give me a mushroom trip without
having to take anything. And that felt nice. It is
kind of yeah, so when when something you make impacts

(01:05:37):
or affects someone that way, it feels nice. So it
feels again very self aggrandizing. But if it I appreciate it.
Hashtag free shroom trip Yeah, yeah, go go take those
shrooms for free. Yeah, with your eyes, with your eyes
miles Where can people find you? Twitter and Instagram at
miles of grade, Yes there is. First one is from

and don't get enough praise, it goes to Insta, which

(01:06:20):
is not millennial. That is me in any era. If
I sat for a Degara type to send my soldier
bow and his response letter lacked commensurate a claim, I
would ask where back and post it in the town square. True?
That true? That? Uh? Kyle plant emoji tweeted first debt
Domino's manager. Oh and one more thing, don't suck the

pizzas me, assistant manager, seriously, don't fuck them cook. Don't
suck the pizzas dude me, I'm not a customer. That

with witnesses while it RAN's indictments on everyone around his
guilty s and Laurie Kilmartin tweeted, my mama, literally is
