And today I am thrilled to be joined by you know,
one of the faces of Mount ZiT Gang more hilarious comedian, writer, podcaster,

Matter of fact, give you a bar, not a snack
at that pulled a gun out clap clap. I'm yess
that was a freestyle. Yeah, that was a freestyle. I
originally was going to supplement your dope freestyle back by

(01:06):
doing a what is it called yes and d so
with my aka, but this recording crept up on me.
Wait quicker than I expect. Hey, hey, you know what time?
We are thrilled to be joined in our third seed
by hilarry stand up comedian, sketch comedian who I first
heard about many years ago when I was working around

(01:28):
on YouTube. Writer host of the podcast Suicide Bladdies at
Hampson youn uh it is Dave Ross. Howell you guys.
I'm great man, he's doing good. Yeah, I'm good. I
don't have a freestyle. That's fine, that's fine, that's great. Yeah,
I'll just say something in Gaelic real quick. So before

(01:52):
we get into that, let's just kind of recap, or
not recap, give you a preview what we're gonna be
talking about today. First, the feeds they're worried about in
My Feelings Ounge for pretty obvious reason. They're also apparently
watching us in the sky through something called the Quiet
Skies program, which is not a frequent flyer program. Also,
we're talking about Trump basically having a full fucking meltdown again,

(02:13):
but that's normal because this is how Also, the Koch brothers,
they might be ditching the Republicans for Democrats, um other things,
Movie Pass maybe actually starting to turn into the dumpster
fire we thought it could be, and also talking about
the new white wine emoji that could be happening, that
people are really lobbing hard for the big Macs turning

(02:35):
a big five. Oh and uh, I guess the Guardians
of the Galaxy cast. You know, they just released a
statement of support to try and reinstate James Gunn as director.
But before we get into all that, Dave, why don't
you tell us something about your search history that let's
us know a little bit about who you are. Oh? Man,
I I just yeah, I just looked, and the my
most recent search is literally this is the entire phrase

(03:00):
words that contain the letters F, GU, and H. And
that's because and that is most of my surgistry lately,
because I started playing this phone game Alpha Bear. Ever
played this game. It's just like a game where there
were letters on a field and you try to combine
them into words, and then they turn into bears, and

(03:22):
the bears are adorable. And that's how it got me.
It's truly embarrassing, it is. I'm deeply ashamed. I spend
way too much time doing it and I should be working.
I have I have no money. Uh, well, did you
ever figure out what if there's a letter or a
word with those letters in it? Oh? Yeah, I mean, well,
there's a there's a website that is very very helpful
with this game. I think it's called best Wordless dot

(03:44):
com and that's where I end up on. Well, you
know that came from words with friends, and I would
know when a friend would pull that ship out when
it was like, oh you didn't that this word? Yeah yeah,
But it's it's so funny because in a nerdier version
of that I was playing. I've been playing match with
the Gathering Arena, which has been the digital version of it.
Is that nerdier than alphabet magic. The gathering is respected.

(04:12):
But I got beat by this deck and I was
and this is this is so I was like, oh,
this deck is bullshit, like this, you did not come
up with that off top, And so I just searched
black white control deck and his cards just appeared, and
I was like, here's the thing. It's like in the
competitive seeing people do like pre built decks, but like

(04:33):
I'm thinking, if we're playing online and online game, you
should be making it up yourself. You should be going
off top. And people aren't doing that, and I think
that takes the people who don't play Magic the gathering.
So you're saying in this game, you know, when you
when you're legit, you come with your deck. You know
what the funk you got? Yeah, because you have to.
You know, it all depends on your strategy, know how
you play Magic the other But in the digital version,

(04:53):
what you get like a pre randomized deck when people
have the option to bring on what happens even in
both the like you know, I guess analog Magic and
online people will upload deck list online and be like, oh,
this is a good deck, and so you know it's
generally except you know, accepted and expected, like when you're
in a tournament, someone's going to run that obviously. It's

(05:16):
just like anyone following any guide online, Like anyone who's
doing bodybuilding is going to use an online guide. But
when I'm it's digital, it's kind of lower stakes like
that where no one's gonna be able to make it
to a grand Prix off of this beta version of
a game. So when I play against someone, I'm thinking,
we're all just building, you know, having fun. Like my
deck is a dinosaur deck. It's called it's all built

(05:37):
around dinosaurs, and so it just was a little too
crisp that I was like, No, this isn't your average cookie.
I totally understand what you're saying. Yeah, Like, if you're
in the NBA and you for some reason want to
go play a pickup game in the park, you don't
just fucking stuff everyone. You don't let no one shoot.
It's not fairly relax my a. You know people, But

(06:02):
I will say my big not to spend too much
time on Alpha Bet. But I get like, as a nerd,
I'm getting like charged up because you know, I think
I've talked about this on here before, just how phones
are going to be the new like platform for people
to play games, and just how like you know, Alpha Bear,

(06:22):
it's like a dumb, fun game, but you're playing it.
And I feel like as the games get more advanced,
like there's a command and conquer for the phone. Yeah,
but they're a good version of Civilization. It's coming. I
feel like it's the second that happens. Dude, though, My god,
when I first got into Civilization with fucking time travel

(06:45):
playing that game, like I would sit down at six
pm and we'll be three in the morning, like suddenly
and I'm like, whoa do you do? You have a
gaming PC yet you get a game in PC. I
got a copy of Waiting for you. Why why can't
I just use them version? I'll see because you know
they've been real weird of the sport. I'll check for you. Okay,
all right, Well after the cast, I actually do have

(07:07):
a copy of SIPs Sitting. It was just I just
don't respect that the PC gaming side of the world
is still like fuck yeah, yeah, it's still master the
Master Race. People are still in the building. Dave was
something that's overrated. Beats. I hate beats. There's the food, yes,
the food. I hate the music, like acapella freestyles, and

(07:32):
that's why I like the King of the Dot freestyles.
This is a room and you're fucking rhymes beats. So
I like it when people talk, That's what I like.
I like conversation and I'm sick of it. Hadn't it
beat some kind of rhythm? Oh my god? Disgusting? This
is why I like Gaelic. Yes, what was one about beats?

(07:54):
I don't know, man, I just hate that I have
so many friends. I feel like I'll eat a lot
of places where people are like stoked about the things
that have beats in them. Uh, not that I eat
out that much, or like I'll go to someone's house
and they make things with beats, and I don't know,
I just feel like recently and then around a lot
of people that like beats and I can't stand them.
They all they make me almost throw up every time.

(08:16):
They're so you know, neutral though, you know, I first
I remember as a kid seeing them, like, Dude, that
looks fucking like a strong flavor, and I don't want
nothing to do with it. And then I remember having
a beat for the first time, maybe like eight years ago, yeah, like,
and I was like, Okay, this really doesn't even taste
like much. It just looks crazy. But to me still,
I'm thirty five, and so maybe I'm just going to

(08:37):
be a child forever. But I put even part of
a beat in my mouth and it ruins my week.
Oh my god, God, truly, I have a I don't
know the taste and the aftertaste it leaves. It's just
something that really makes me gag. It's really bad, man,
even thinking about that. All right, never mind, never mind.

(09:02):
I will say about this first time I was beat
juice like at a natural foods things put me on too,
like well it was a mix. It was beat apple
juice and ginger wild combo. Good. Anyway, I drank like
a fucking thirty two ounces one. I was so parched
and I was peeing out like rose, and I thought
like my kidneys were failing or something. And I took
like a panixed Google search realized like I was just

(09:23):
eating red food diet. Basically, yeah, I have. I have
the most embarrassing of colored uh you know human Uh. Well,
when I was younger, the first time my stepmom made
a ship ton of red velvet cake and I just
ate so much of it that when I took a dump,
it was red and I thought there was blood in

(09:45):
my poop. So I can't just trow down to my
ankles crying, stumbling to my dad like I'm gone, my god,
my my my. Step I was like, no, you just
ate too much red velvet cake. Why And then that
was like why were you eating that much for the
velvet cakes? And then I got in trouble to lose

(10:05):
your foot. All right, Well, what's something that's underrated? Dave?
Okay for me right now? Truly the most underrated thing,
and I say, I feel like the reason it's underrated
is that people are not aware of this as an
entertainment genre, and once it's discovered, it will no longer
be underrated. It's videos of very fat cats trying to

(10:27):
get through doggie doors. This is this is a very
niche YouTube video genre that there's probably a total of
five minutes of videos of this on YouTube, and it's crazy.
It's crazy because it is like the most wonderful thing
to oh man, that's amazing because they look small as

(10:51):
their head is popping out and you're like, why is
this tiny cat reveal? Dude? It's the most sad is
flying type of video I found on the internet. What
is it about it? That? Really? Is it? The struggle?
Is it? The well? Cats are are great, kevitiers are
great because cats are like, well, you know all know
why they're dumb, but also curious and it's not like

(11:14):
dogs that are just having fun. You're like watching this weird,
semi emotional animal not know what's going on. Um. But
then I'm like, overweight just makes it adorable and so
then like it's just trying to, like, I don't know,
get its overweight body through a thing and the way
that a cat does. I don't know. It's just wonderful. Yeah,

(11:35):
And that reveal is really the part, right because if
an arc, yeah, you're like, oh, there's a head, what's
going on? And then it's like the whole body squeezes through. Yeah.
Reminds of the ace ventur Or two scene when he's
coming out of the rhinoceros. I don't know why, because
I remember that at long he was inside of a
fake rhinoceros, like doing surveillance and it like the air
conditioning broke out and he was basically inside of like

(11:57):
a sweat box and inside of him mechanical right now
oceros and he has to escape through the ass of
the rhinoceros, and I think it was giving birth to
like a human man. Anyway, that's my debody. It's all
been downhill since then. I mean, that was that's where
we hit the peak. But I always wonder aboy people
have like super fat cats, like how you let them

(12:17):
get that big? Yeah? Man, I take my cat to
don't look at me with shocks, super producer Ana Hose,
And your cat isn't like that. Look does your cat
look like this? That? No, this cat looks like a
bowling ball inside of a cat. But like I feel
like I only I lightly take my cat to the vet,
like I do it the minimum amount. I think I'd
take her to the vet like a couple of times

(12:39):
a year and every time. That's that's a lot a
couple of times, is it? Well, she's older, So I
guess that's more than I used to write. Because you
notice something, You're like, question, you probably go to take
you to the vet? Really, yeah, little shots like getting
her up shots whatever. I so I I take her
in and really the main thing the vet talks to
me about is her weight, and she's not overweight at all.

(12:59):
He's like, you got launch it and make sure and
so like that means I guess you never take your
cat into the vet or you just don't listen, or
you have a bad vet right, or you just can't
say you know to the pet because I have Like
my friend used to a cow sit for this woman
who had a cat who ate literally cat ate two
regular size cans a cat food for every meal. And

(13:22):
it was wow, this cat was addicted to food. Like
the cat would just bat on the door like constantly
to like wake him up, like it's time to eat,
and it was just like I was like, well, just
don't feed him. He's like, I can't. This cat is
used to getting well yet and I can't get in
the way anymore. So I will say to it makes
you feel like a real piece of ship to put
your cat on a diet. Just thinking about like I'm

(13:45):
the kind of guy who's putting a cat on a diet.
I'm not on a diet, uh, but my cat is.
I'd have no problems, Like no, you know over it.
You didn't trust me, you worked through the pain. Dude,
don't push us. You should be while I eat your
cat food. But also I feel like people have things

(14:07):
going on in their lives, especially if you have kids.
If you're cats me owing, it's like it's still a
cat and not a person. Just like, fucking give it
some food. I don't care if it's fair. It's gonna
die two years earlier, but I'll be happy. I'm gonna
ship there you go. I know that. That's that's what's
so interesting, Like as someone with a child, when people
are like, oh, I'm getting a dog so so that

(14:28):
you know she she can grow up with it. I
was like, oh, so you're just planning your child's trauma
twelve years in advance. You're making sure that they see
the death of this dog. Yeah, that's all I can
think about is if I get my daughter a dog,
then she's going to have a bad time when she's twelve.
So what happened to you when you were twelve? Not?
I just I just I feel like I just thought.

(14:51):
I have so many friends who like had dogs that
passed recently, and it's just like just seeing that they're
all in prison. I've been thinking about when, yeah, my
dog died, and you know what happens. It's funny even
when like Jesus's dogs died on from Bedego boys, I
was even like feeling. I was like, damn, I don't

(15:13):
even know you, but I just know what that's like. Yeah, anyway,
forget it, you know, maybe teach your kids that life
lesson or just let them be so guarded that the
second they actually experienced lost will be a fucking mess
at twenty or whatever. That only trying. My child's a
lot of cry is when I die, when I get
bodied out on the street, better not be that long, alright.

(15:34):
So Dave, finally, what's a myth. What's something that people
get wrong that you know too? Man? This is the
thing I talked about a lot. I would I truly
think I can debunk the myth that cold Play is bad. Wow,
because everyone I know says cold Play is bad, and
then when a cold Play song comes on, they're like
they tell they're at peace. I think it's just cool

(16:00):
to think Coldplay sucks. And uh. Look, also, I know
that there are holes in this theory of mine because
I was in Austin recently. I was standing in front
of the Velveta Room, this comedy club in that sound uh,
talking to a couple of comics about the same this
exact thing, saying Coldplay is great. I will defend cold
Play to my death. I love cold Play. And then
a song came on at the bar next door. It

(16:22):
was just blasting out the front and I was like,
see this song sucks and they were like, dude, this
is cold Play. Oh I didn't know. Yeah, sorry, ones,
but early cold Play. Come on the Scientist. You can't
tell me that the Scientist doesn't bring like a tiny
piece of a tear to your to your eye, you're lying.
Fix you, I still get fix. We'll fix you. I

(16:44):
I have an adversion too, because it was one of
my ex's favorite songs, and I'll maybe that's what's happened
to everybody. Yeah, excellent, it's just X association. It wouldn't
be surprised. That's the song that if you're dating someone
really at any point, the gold play song like this
is us We're perfect, but Square one, I think is

(17:07):
the perfect training song, like you know you're about to
go for a run. It's like, yeah, it's time to
I don't think I remember that. Uh. It's It was
on the X Y soundtrack, which was important to me
because that had a Speed of Sound on which was yeah, yeah,
that was and it was the sting. It was like
the sting song for the end, which was the Noggin channel.

(17:28):
It was like a Nickelodeon alternative channel that played Degrassi.
So I heard it all the time because I'd be
watching de Grossi and it was like, Summer's coming and
it will play Speed of Sound. I was like, this
is the song of the summer, the song of the summer,
the song, well, you know what, the song of the summer.
This summer seems like it is what is in my feelings,
right like you like that. Yeah, you see that, that's perfect.

(17:49):
The scripted that in thank You. No I didn't, but yeah,
So I don't know if you've seen the hashtag in
My Feelings Challenge where people are getting the funk out
of their cars and the dance Kiki and that me uh.
And there also a string of videos where people are
fucking eating ship the second they get out of a
moving car because ghost right in the whip. There's an
art to it. You can't just be driving and then

(18:10):
take your foot off the gas and then just get
out like you need to be stopped. Just take your
foot off the brake, let it sort of glide and
drive roll, then do your ship. There are people having
out the car like ten and there's so many good
ones that people like that first step just being sucked out.
No one's ready. No one did that trial by fire.
I did it. I did it way back in the

(18:32):
early ots. Okay, so you know when you get out
of the car and you break up with your girlfriend,
ye just make every story about my breakup? Do you
love me? So? Yeah? The NTSB, the National Transportation to

(18:57):
Safety Board, they had to fucking actually post about it
because there have been like people crashing their cars in
the park ship people like literally one guy thing got
pinned by another car, like like got smashed but didn't
clearly was well enough to get up and move. So
it wasn't like, oh, your hips are broken. But they said,
we have some thoughts on about the hashtag in my
Feelings challenge. Hashtag distraction in any mode is dangerous and

(19:21):
can be deadly whether you're a hashtag driver, hashtag pilot,
or hashtag operator, focus on safely operating your vehicle. Read
more at the bla blah blah, and it just got
like these picks of people like clearly just falling out
of their So yeah, I think, you know, just let
let evolution take it. Yeah, that drake is a part

(19:43):
of natural selection. That's that's where you can say, maybe
he's with the Illuminati where they can see with this
song you'll drive all the idiots out to harm themselves
by doing this idiotic challenge. But anyway, I just wanted
to maybe he didn't think about it because he's from
Canada and all those people can just go to the hospital.
Oh yeah, you know, he's spent enough time here though,
now you know, but who knows? Who knows? Another thing

(20:04):
that apparently has got people's eyes, at least caught mine,
was this thing that the Boston Globe reported over the
weekend called the Quiet Skies program that the t s
A has basically been operating since where essentially like if
you meet a certain criteria, which is probably like brown
or a Muslim, uh, and have traveled to one of Turkey, Iran, Iraq, Uh,

(20:27):
this might this story might give you any And did
you ever think, like, man, this this like guy, Yeah,
he's all up on me. He's so engaged. Look, look
I got a man up back up? Was your name Marshall? Wow,
Aaron Marshall. That's cool. He's so engaged. He's like taking
notes on everything I'm doing and saying. The t s

(20:48):
A hasn't quite illuminated what the criteria are. But it's
a combination of like your travel history, you're known associations, Uh,
if you have a criminal record, things like that, they've
observed people traveling within the US to make or like that.
You know, they got to just keep an eye on
these people, but especially on the plane. Uh. And it's
been a very a lot of people are like, Yo,
what the funk is this? Like, what's up with our

(21:09):
safety because they will literally take notes on things like
did you sleep during the flight, did he or she
use a cell phone? Did they look around erratically? Did
they change outfits on the plane, did they change outfits
in the airport, and things like that, just to kind of,
you know, they want to analyze people's travel patterns while
taking the whole picture into account, is what they're saying.
And they say it's it's adding an additional line of

(21:29):
defense to aviation security. And they said, if the person
does all that stuff and the airplane lands safely and
they move on, the behavior will be noted, but they
will not be approached or apprehended. Uh so, well good, Yeah,
it's good. Yeah. I know, if they didn't do the
crime that we thought, they do them for six hours
and they don't do anything wrong, then that's okay. And

(21:50):
some people are in like three month periods where they're
surveiled or monitored, as they say it, or they call
it a quiet sky's passenger euphemistically, you mean, mother pucker,
you're you're, you know, just invading their privacy. I feel
like the rules should be that the government is not
allowed to make a list, you know what I mean?
Like every list based thing right that has been done

(22:11):
has been bads list. Well that wasn't the government, Yeah,
but that was a good list. That was a good list.
But yeah, Craigslist, you know, we're we're in the dark
ages of Craigslist now that you know, we don't have
miss connections anymore, but you know, it's misconnections has gone
from Craigslist after assessed the pass. They got rid of

(22:31):
all the classified areas, including misconnections. Yeah, because if if
you're unaware of basically if anyone is child trafficking on
your site, whether or not you had control of it
or not, that you will be fined, which right, well
fair enough, you know, which is like, yeah, why why
not burned down the whole house to prevent a forest fire?

(22:53):
You know, you really you're really sad about missconnections. Uh
you know, I just I just have like lots of
and who are sex workers and they're like very oh
yeah that's it. Yeah, and they it really fucked them over. Also,
it just does like anyone who does like patreons, like
Patreon crackdown on anyone who does like nudes and stuff

(23:15):
because it just basically affects anything. Because in theory like,
the people who are gonna be sex trafficking are still
gonna be doing it, but all these ways for sex
workers to safely find work are now just being shut down.
Now they're gone, Wow, well yeah, it gets cooler and cooler.

(23:38):
So yeah, guys, watch your back. Uh and maybe yeah,
sometimes they say the air marshals will even sit next
to a passenger unbeknownst to the passenger or like a
few miles back. But you know, that's that's what's funny,
because everything they explain is a thing that would probably
end with me getting arrested because it sounds like ship
that would annoy me and be like, and I would
move and be like, oh hey, don't think they'd be obvious,

(24:01):
but could you imagine someone that bad is quietly surveilling
a hat just with a fucking like voice recorder. Subject
has gotten up about the operator, but it's made to
look like a golf bag or something. Obviously, Oh I

(24:21):
can't get my golf bag in here? Oh man, all right,
did you help me get this golf bag up here
by talking into it and just sort of saying your
name and sort of what your purposes of this trip? Anyway? Sorry? Anyway, alright, well,
guys just take a quick break and we'll be right back.

(24:47):
And we're back. And guys, it wouldn't be a weekend
unless we're talking about the fucking guy that's the president,
Donald Trump. Uh yeah, it's president. Yeah, it happened. It happened.
I know you said, don't wake you out of your
cryo sleep until eight, but we had to. I'm sorry, Dave,
He's the president. Uh So, yeah, he had a rough

(25:07):
week weekend. Um. And I don't know what it could be.
Whether it's maybe in Palm Manaford's trial starting up this week,
or you know, Cohen flipping like Simone Biles, or bad
approval ratings. I don't know. It's probably all of these
things that has added to president just you know, break down.
But so he I think he tweeted like thirty one

(25:27):
times over the weekend, and he had something for everybody,
whether it was immigrants or the press or Mueller just
looking anything. First, we found out that he had a
meeting with the publisher of the New York Times and
claimed that he was like when he was there, they
told him it was really good that he's like such
a genius for creating the term fake news and how
like fake news is such a problem in the media. Uh.

(25:49):
And that was his description of this meeting. And it
was supposed to be off the record. So after the
publisher of The New York Times heard that, he's like, Okay, well,
then I guess this wasn't off the record. Let me
tell you what we were actually talking about. So apparently
what happened was Salzberger, who is the publisher. I think
it's a G. Salzberger. It's some initial, fancy name. Uh.
He pointed out to Trump that foreign leaders like authoritarians

(26:10):
and despots have taken up Trump's language and angle of attack.
And the reason is not hard to discern. Autocrats from
Manila to Yang Gone and car to Caracas, they're saying,
have founded advantages to point out that even the president
of a country that gave primacy to freedom of speech
and the press and its constitution disdains the news media
as fake. So they're kind of like, hey, this is
not good. You're also breaking down our fucking democracy by

(26:33):
constantly attacking the fourth estate journalism and calling them ship
like the enemy of the fucking people, which he's been doing.
You're just in sight, your your base and it's completely
completely disrupting just the country. Yeah, what's what's so wild
about it is when you if you really like I
feel like some people like I don't know what the

(26:54):
big deal is, if you really want to see what
the big deal is, just having argument with anybody who
supports Trump on Twitter and then try giving any facts.
And it's so wild that now no matter what, it's
not even anything, just anything that disagrees with their point
of view. They're like, well, you can't trust Well did

(27:16):
you see that thing that Leslie Stall said like three
or four months ago she went to Yeah, it was
she interviewed him. Yeah, she interviewed him and she wrote
somewhere online maybe it was an article, but I think
it was just on Twitter. She said that before the interview,
it was just her and Trump and maybe an aid
in the room. And she turned to him because she's
a badass, and was like, hey, what's this fake news? Bullshit?
What is this? Why are you doing this? And he

(27:37):
said to her, with no one else in the room,
thinking it would not never go anywhere, he said, oh, yeah,
I do that to discredit you, so when you say
bad things about me, they won't believe you. And like,
I mean, I guess I should have known that it
was that level of deviousness from him. We think of
him as such a buffoon that he couldn't be doing

(27:59):
it on purpose, But it's aptly calculated manipulation at that point,
that's just his self survival, self preservation. That means you're
a scumbag and the people so therefore whatever. At the
at the highest level though, yeah, and then like you're saying,
it trickles down to every conversation you have with anybody
right now. Yeah, and that's when the funny thing is, like,

(28:19):
you know, we can't look at it as this divas
smart move, but it's not smart. It's just simple gaslighting.
It's literally every ship bag ever. I mean, we had
that as kids when when you're a parent teacher conferences
like no, that teacher just hates me, and they're they're
just doing it. I mean, their parents are smart enough
to not listen to us. But now we're at an
age where people are so desperate to get what they want,

(28:44):
you know, they just will believe anything like let's talk
about just real quick about the money going to the farmers,
like his poor base thinking, oh, he's just giving money away.
Now it's good because like, no, these are people with
money getting money. It's not going to go to the
one percent of family owned farms, small farmers. You know,
it's gonna go to these big conglomerates because you know,
say Max her cousin who I used to live with. Uh,

(29:07):
they lived on a farm and they sold milk. And
I was like, oh man, you know how much money
is in that? And they're saying not much because the
big companies would come buy up all the milk for
pennies and then sell them in the grocery store for
you know how much. This is about two three bucks?
You know. So really, these small farmers that we try
and think about, or who the farm or you think

(29:29):
a guy in overalls like straw hat on. It's like yeah,
you know, it's it's these millionaires who are screwing over
those guys who are gonna get the check all the time.
So it's so funny when you do want to think
about all right, yeah, I know black people have it bad,
but you know whites have it bad too. It was
like yeah, but the way you're going about it isn't
going to help them at all. It's like saying, yeah,

(29:49):
like retails really taking a hit. We want to help
those mom and pop stores, and we're gonna give twelve
billion dollars in relief to Walmart and Spy. You know,
I'm like, hold on, what the sense it was going on?
So yes, that was that piece of the puzzle. The
New Yorker put out a great piece on the entire interaction,
and they were saying, as the one of the editors
and the publisher of The New York Times was talking
to Trump and telling him about all this criticism, he

(30:11):
was like, okay, okay, Like they said, he was acting
as if he was taking this on board. He never
apologized for anything, but they're like, we'd really like you
to consider that. It's just something to think about. And
he was like yep, yep, yep. Then nine days later
he gets on his Twitter fingers and puts his chest
out and he's like, yeah, they're fucking you know. They
were praising me and like they know they're the enemy
of the people. It's like, come, you know, if if

(30:32):
if we were to get unreal dark, real quick, I
don't know what this fool will say if we were
attacked because of the things he said, Like if if
there was a tragedy, and you know, a bunch of
Americans are killed because of his actions. Like, what is
his stance gonna be? What is like is still going
to be I didn't do it? Yeah, Obama should have

(30:56):
seen this coming. Well that's where something so complete, least shifting.
It blows my mind that people are still talking about Obama.
Like one of the big things that the right has
been taking is when we call out immigration stuff. It's like,
m I wonder why you're not talking about that. Why
you weren't talking about this during the Obama era? Yeah, yeah,
exactly like we were. You just weren't paying attention because
you weren't trying to defend it. Then you're you're very

(31:18):
much okay, Well they were too focused on getting the
black man out of the White House. Then whether or
not he was deporting people on record numbers. Uh, everything
we're talking about is the same thing as fake news,
just sort of diverting from the actual fact. I love it. Now.
You'll talk to people who would be like you'll on Twitter,
someone will say something awful and you can be like
that was racist, and they're like, oh, okay, so I

(31:40):
said something racist and you're like, yeah, and that's bad.
And they're like, and that's bad, Like, oh okay, so
I can't say racist things now and that's bad now
and you're like it always was bad. Oh okay, right,
how do you talk to people like that? My favorite like, oh,
just because you don't like me, I'm a Nazi was like, no,
because you're following everything a Nazist tell Because yeah, that's

(32:04):
because you spray painted a swastika on the side of
a synagogue. Wow, we keep moving the goalposts. Yeah, because
that happened. That's some ship that just happened in the
end of synagogue was just had got tagged with like
iron crosses and swastikas. Because it's again. So anyway, moving on,
after he was done taking shots at the press, then

(32:27):
he had to move on to the wall and saying like,
I will shut the government down if the Democrats don't
give me the votes for the wall, like watch me
piss this whole bed. I don't give a fuck. And yes,
we've known that he's always wanted this wall. But the
fact of the matter is that is a very very
bad plan politically, because the next time a shutdown would

(32:47):
possibly occur would be at the end of September. Uh
so from then that's only like less than a month
out from the election. So you don't want to shut
the government down and then have your Republican controlled House
and Senate going around on the campaign rail and answering
questions about like, hey, why is the government shutdown or
why are my benefits gone? Because the government's because of you,
because of the wall. And especially for like moderate Republicans

(33:10):
like the ones in Orange County or like the Philadelphia
suburbs elsewhere, that's not a good plan for him to
double down on the wall because those people are not
motivated by the immigrants out like that isn't the thing
that motivates them. If anything, it could have a reverse
effect where it will motivate more Democrats to turn out
to vote against the Republican in those races. So again,

(33:31):
he's clearly struggling, and this is what he likes to
do when there's a lot when his backs against the
wall is throwout some racist red meat to the base
and be like, yeah, see, man, we're getting that wall right.
Just stick with me. Like already last week he was like,
ignore the news. What you see is not real, because yes,
maybe some ship went down, but that's fake. And so

(33:52):
I think this was one of I mean, clearly he
was in some kind of a spiral because there was
a meeting I think last week with Republicans in the
House and Senate. They're like, let's avoid a shutdown fight
over the wall before the election. Okay, let's just let's
kick that can down the road because that doesn't help
us politically. But clearly he doesn't give a fuck. So
that's again a little an idea of where he's at.

(34:14):
He's probably not the most relaxed he's ever been. Uh So,
then he went on and started tweeting some more ship
about Mueller and the Russia investigation and nothing really there.
It's just the usual thing like, oh, he's got these
conflicts of interest, does not have any kind of conflict
of interest. The only conflict of interest he has is
that he actually cares about this country while the current
administration does not. It's that his interest conflict with yours,

(34:37):
and you don't want anyone observing you or investigating you.
And he's trying to get to the bottom of like
why you agree to everything Rush is doing if you
were working with them whatever. So that's the other thing too.
So the Palm Manafort trial is starting and the and
Cohen is clearly snitching all kinds of ways, or at
least there's stuff leaking left and right about it, and

(34:58):
that's making things people nervous. Like Rudy Giuliani like sort
of jumped the gun and was like, yeah, there may
have been a second another meeting about the Russia stuff
with like with like Team Trump before and people like, wait, what,
like is that coming from Michael Cohen. He's like, oh, well,
I heard it from a journalist, so I just want
to get out in front of it, uh in case.
So they're clearly trying to get out in front and

(35:20):
discredit as much as they can. So now we're at
a point where things are getting so real for them
that Rudy Giuliani is now using the tactic of just saying, well,
you know, collusion isn't a crime. So because now he
at first he was like, I'm not fully confident that
the president was or was not aware of what the
what the Russia Trump Tower meeting was about. So now

(35:41):
they're falling back to their secondary or tertiary defense, which
is now they've run out of all off and so
this is listen to this. This is on Fox and
Friends Today, off top, just Rudy Giulianni coming out like
first words out of his mouth on Fox and Friends,
Trump's attorney former in New York City. Maybe I've been

(36:02):
sitting here looking at the Federal Code trying to find
collusion as a crime. It's not. Collusion is not a crime.
He's just straight up before you get the intro out,
the little theme of the of this show right now
is what we were just talking. Oh, now you can't
collude with Russia. Now that's bad. Yeah, exactly, unbelievable again,

(36:23):
fucking moving the goal posts even further. Now, It's like, okay,
well collusion is not even a crime. But what was
all this about. There was no collusion, no collusion, no collusion. No,
nobody was talking about when Obama was colluding with the
Muslims but the whole time. But that's not that's it's
like legally a very emptied if it's not even a
real defense, right because at that point they're saying, like,

(36:44):
as a prosecutor, sure, collusion is just a term, and yeah,
you can look at the Federal Code and be like that.
But he's like, for example, if I'm if I'm working
with a group of dudes to move a key of
cocaine across the country. And I'm like, okay, so we'll
go here. I got the truck driver set up there.
You can hit him up, blah blah blah. And I
don't my hands don't touch the ship. But I'm part
of it. I'm part of the conspiracy to to fucking

(37:07):
distribute that that that those drugs. That is okay, sure, collusion, Fine,
here's the here's what it is. Conspiracy and that you
can't just go to a judge and be like, oh,
my honor, I know that my client has been charged.
See he wasn't colluding, he was conspiring or so therefore

(37:27):
this whole thing is a sham uh and illegal scam,
as Trump said. So and and just for the record,
they said, so it is Rudy going to be representing Trump?
They said, he said, lawyer, what was that? Or did
I miss here that? I mean, he's part of that
legal team. I don't know if he's going to be
the one that did not that. I mean, this is

(37:47):
you're already sucking up the case before it even started. Yeah, really,
and so also to like and the other thing, Juliana
has been doing. We were talking last week, is like
trying to discredit Michael Cohen as a witness in general,
being like this got scum bad, He's a scoundrel. He
literally said scounded you. Yeah, basically almost would have been
he could have could have came out of his mouth. Yeah,

(38:09):
who knows. But he keeps trying to say this guy,
you know, he's he's into some slimy stuff, you know,
blah blah blah. It's like he was the lawyer. He
doesn't use power. On Saturdays, he's staying like, what's up
with that? I tried to give him Peperuni pizza. He's like,
I'm good. He's like, I can't mix meat and cheese?
What is that? What is that? He's in New Yorker.

(38:30):
I don't even know. I don't know. So yes, he's
trying to constantly discredit him. But like and just be like, well,
who knows, you know, like what if you can take
what he's saying, if there's any weight to that, because
he you know, he's not really a credible witness. But
come on, Rudy, you know better. You were prosecuting the
fucking mob in New York and you know that. Yes,
sometimes when you're trying to prosecute mobsters and things like that,

(38:52):
you need another mobster who was up in it to
flip and be like, Okay, this is what really happened.
And then you know, you don't go then and be like,
this guy's in the mob, he's not credible. He's there.
You need him to take for your case. And you know,
at a certain point, like the process, you have to
look at somebody with this kind of evidence or this
kind of testimony and be like, Okay, well, let's see
does he have is does there any reasonable motivation for

(39:14):
this person to lie like about this, especially like versus
Donald Trump, who has every motivation to lie to try
and obscure what is going on. So again they are
really throwing just ship at the wall and hoping something. Well,
I think that's why he's freaking out because he knows
how this goes. He he knows exactly what the next
moves are. We got Manafort and we got Cohen, so

(39:36):
he knows, Oh, they're gonna be talking, They're they're gonna
blab it up, and I got Now my move is
to get ahead of it and try and like discredit
these dudes but like that's not how thing. It's like
you're playing UNO and like you're you're the person behind you. Yeah, exactly,
this is how everything is about Uno. Like you got
a fucking wild draw for left like as your UNO,

(39:57):
and then the person you're playing against only has skip
cards to try and beat you. And then eventually you're
gonna run out of a skip card, which they've tried
to And now guess what, it's only gonna take like
two more people or some people to corroborate what these
guys are saying. And it's going to be a very
very difficult situation for Team Trump and this Manafort case,
Like we're gonna learn a lot as that trial starts,

(40:19):
like all this evidence, we're gonna start seeing like what
Mueller's whole game plan is with with Manafort, and that's
going to open a lot of eyes. So do you
think the end of this road is impeachment? I mean
that's I mean, for a lot of people the goal
and obviously i'd like to see that where possibly my
guess is just gonna be the Nixon step down thing.

(40:42):
I think this is gonna stretch all the way into
the next election and then he's gonna be like I'm
gonna step down, Like I don't, I think, and I
think that's what everyone on the right is hoping for.
They're just trying to to really make this last long
enough so that the I think they're going to really
try and pull like a lesser of two evils, like

(41:03):
Trump steps down. Well here's this maybe just doesn't run. Yeah, yeah,
but his ego and he's already spent money on mert
that's being made in China already, so I don't know
many Oh yeah, there's like all these photos of people
like in this like garment shop, like putting flags, making

(41:24):
them like all this kind of things made America, and
again his businesses, Yeah, and his followers, his base will
just be like, well that's fine, you know, because it's
make these hats Chinese again or something. I don't know.
Uh So yeah, it's like and there's just great. It's
an amazing Well there's even a movie about it with

(41:44):
Matt Damon. That's amazing. So another thing is like Charles
Coke of the Koch Brothers there apparently hinting that they
might make it rain on some Democrats and he might
shift their money. The Koch Brothers money away from Republicans
because he doesn't like sort of what's happening because it's
so chaotic now. The Trump the Koch brothers are evil,
just anti environment, just want to just do away with

(42:07):
the unions. They just want the corporations to rule the galaxy.
So they're they're evil is well documented. But it's interesting
that they're starting to lose patients with Republicans too that
have been their foot soldiers in Congress, because they're like,
why do you keep going along with Trump Man? He's like,
we're free trade people, and you're like supporting these tariffs,
Like you're sucking up my money with this tariff bullshit.
And they also up surprisingly enough, they're into legal immigration,

(42:30):
so like they wish there was a clean DOCCA deal
and they wish that like apparently they're from some of
the repoarding. They took issue with the family separations because
for them, immigration means more workforce for them, more laborers
for their evil empire. So they're always like, yeah, that's fine,
like that just we're growing the label. But that's what
I was, you know, they're just a different type of evil,

(42:51):
and the Trump evil is sucking up there evil because
there and it is really becoming the enemy of my
enemy is my friend type of situation where it's like,
all right, y'all sucking my money up and this wall.
I don't care about this. We just care about these bills. Yeah. Yeah,
we've been rich so much longer than you've been crazy. Yeah,

(43:11):
So yeah, I feel like that. Once I heard of
the huge like tariffs that we're gonna be set up,
I was like, this is where we're gonna see some
real because that's where the business people are like, now
you're sucking up my money. Oh yeah. I was easy
to me to rock on this racist ship because I
didn't really suck my check up. But when you're working
with my aluminum and now my Coca Cola cans are
getting more expensive because Coca Cola, I think I had

(43:31):
to raise the price because of aluminum prices and things
like that. Like, you know, people are not happy, especially
these free market you know, capitalists don't need this like isolation,
this trade policy. So he's hinted that he's gonna be like, yo,
you guys gotta get it together. But the Koke brothers
have fired a few warning shots since Trump took office
to be like, hey, you need to get in line.
You gotta figure this out. You gotta figure this out,

(43:53):
so we'll see. You know where that goes. I doubt anywhere,
because again you know who knows who knows, but it's possible.
So if you need any of you Democrats out there,
I want a little taste of that Koke Brother's money.
You know, get your get your free market politics bag
out like like I mean, like we always say, like
the rich white men won't save us, but hopefully they'll
put a dent in the other rich white women. Right,

(44:16):
all right, let's take a quick break and we'll be
right back. And we're back, and quick update on movie
pass because for the longest time, I was always wondering,
how the fuck am I gonna pay? And I'm watching

(44:38):
all these fucking totally movies and how does that work?
And it seems like they're having a little bit of
a capital issue. So I know earlier this month they
were offering like peak pricing, so they were charging an
extra fee to see like basically movies you'd fucking want
to see at a time. That is the reason you
get movie pas the weekend for a popular movie. So
they're like, yeah, it's an extra fee then they really

(45:00):
funked up with the Gatti movie when they put their
whole marketing weight behind it, and we're telling people like, yeah,
this is like they were trying to use the sort
of influence of Movie Pass to get people to see Gotti,
and then that it just was an utter disaster, got
to like at zero on Rotten Tomatoes, and then the
marketing people were like, oh, these are trolls trying to
take the movie down blah blah. It's like, no, is
a fucking garbage film and it's John Travolta, he come

(45:22):
and come on now. Enough set. So then last week
we found out that there was a problem like with
a glitch where they said technical issues with our card
based check in process and we're diligently working to resolve
the issue in the interim e ticketing is working blah
blah blah. So what we find out is they ran
out of fucking money to pay for the fucking tickets
that people get with the movie Pass, and they needed

(45:44):
to borrow around six point two million dollars just to
stay in business over the weekend. And a lot of
people are like, yo, what the fund is going on?
Because I know, like in April, there was reporting that
they were losing twenty million a month. Fucking losing twenty
million a month. So I mean, I don't know what
the fun an extra six is going to do, but
they're saying oddly enough. Probably the big reason why they

(46:06):
ran out of money this weekend was because of Mission Impossible,
because so many people are trying to see it with
movie Pass that they're like, Okay, we need a quick
cash injection, and the CEO is really acting like, oh,
everything's good, everything's fine, while the house burns down around well.
I felt like the moment I knew Movie Pass wasn't
long for this world was when the movie theaters started

(46:27):
like clapping back when they're like, oh no, we'll do
our own shop. Was like, well, then you're not gonna
because they're gonna make it harder for you so that
their bullshit goes. You know, wasn't the business model of
Movie Pass that they just got a bunch of VC
funding and then they paid, Like, wasn't the plan to
lose money until they convinced the theater is to subsidize

(46:47):
that they could get into this war of attrition essentially,
like what do you got? What do you got? And
so now we can get a cut of concessions, right
because we're getting more people to the movies. And yeah,
now the theater is like no way. Yeah, it's especially
all these reports came out of them losing money. The
theater is new. Now it's like, oh, we'll just wait
for you to die out and then they'll have to

(47:07):
get our trash. Yeah. Like you're saying that AMC has
one where I live mostly by AMC theater A. Yeah,
if you get AMC, that's you can see every movie exactly. Uh.
And so AMC has their own I think there's is
like twenty but you can see three movies a week
like any time. Uh. And it's you know whatever, I mean,
we'll take it now on a Friday anyway, costs like

(47:27):
sixteen bucks. What's another four to do a month? But
I think that's kind of the interesting thing is is
Movie Pass going to be like the Napster of this
kind of thing, where like it just sort of blew
open the market, just disrupted it enough to create this
new subscription thing. I don't know. I mean, it's it
seems like a big loss for them. It's just culturally

(47:49):
we're going to subscription model. For everything. I mean, that
was the big announcement. Three is a lot of games.
I e A Is going to be doing their subscription model,
which is called a premier, so you'll be able to
get FIFA. The new Anthem game going to be a
subscription model, and I think one other publisher also went
a subscription base. I know Xbox has their game Pass,

(48:11):
so I think it is ter be a month. E
A is I believe it's like somewhere between fifty. It's really,
it's like everything is like I just looked into getting recently.
I was like, you know what I should buy the
new Photoshop. I've never bought Photoshop. Yeah, I've stolen it

(48:34):
forever like millennials. Actually maybe I was trying to steal
it again. Actually that's what I was doing. But yeah, yeah,
Photoshop doesn't listen to your show, right. Photoshop is now
completely in the cloud and a subscription based service, and
it's like fifteen to twenty bucks a month, and I mean,
I don't know you add all these things up, I
don't think I can do it. I mean, after Netflix

(48:56):
and Spotify and like two other things on dude, you
know you're tapped tapped, well you know we'll see what happens.
I mean, I've been toying with the idea of getting
that AMC one because I like live in a triangulated
position between three AMC Yeah maybe and the New CityWalk one.
Who they're all like reclinable. But the twenty parking missed

(49:17):
me with that ship. Uh So moving on. Oh, this
is another thing. I guess the Big Mac turns fifty.
Any Big Mac fans in here, No, I love I
love me a Big Mac. I can't eat them right
now because I'm long qto. Okay, all right, so just
take out the three pieces of bread and you just
have that. Yeah, yeah, pure beef. I just thought this

(49:38):
is interesting because it's a fiftieth anniversary and they're they're
giving away like the Mac coin, and I was like, wait,
are they getting into the crypto. No, No, it's just
like to basically be like it's a buy one, get
one free deal essentially. I could never really get with
the Big Mac. I was always a double quarter pounder man,
the Patty. Yeah, it's a bigger Patty, the big Man.

(50:00):
There was something about that sauce with the three layers
and just grabbing it and you know what, I really
liked that was gone like that is the Arch Deluxe.
I loved it. Yeah, I was like, wow, a gourmet
burger McDonald's exactly, but I just had like a different
butted bacon on it, right, yeah, and anything like Yeah,

(50:22):
I mean it's back kind of spiritually with those deluxe
burgers that you can but yeah, no, the Arch Deluxe
was get a new fangled McDonald's burgers. Every time I
go to McDonald's it's usually for breakfast now, because that's
one thing I cannot fucking kick is McDonald's super good.
I mean, the mcgriddles are next level. I still don't
see how that. The only thing that I think beat

(50:43):
out the mcgriddle for me is carlst had the breakfast
burger and yeah, and it was like it was just
a gun. It was like a burger, patty egg, bacon,
and hash browns catch up all on a burger. And

(51:04):
I used to for high school. I would eat one
of those before before I went to school. That probably
was like the worst thing you didn't learn anything, sleeping
and farting two classes. That's why you know I lift
so much now to fight off death, because I know
it's knocked on my door after that being a part
of your daily diet. Another thing that people are really

(51:26):
getting into right now is you know emoji. Okay, so
I don't know if people know this, but the Unicode
Consortium is essentially the governing body that goes over these
Unicode characters that we use across like you know, Android, phones, computers, etcetera.
Sorry emoji, and they're the ones who decide if there's
ever going to be new emoji or whatever. And recently
there's been people have been demanding the white wine emoji,

(51:50):
you know, because you know, people be loving the white
wine right now. And if we found out that apparently
Kendall Jackson, who is basically like I think one of
the largest distributors are they sell the most popular white wine,
they put together a fifteen fucking page document to lobby
the Unicode Consortium to be like, we need a white
wine emoji, and it's like fully broken down with like

(52:12):
all these like very coherent arguments, Like they're saying, like
there was a recent hit called Griggio Girls by Lady Gaga,
and they saw that like Nielsen sales data that shows
at Chardonnay categories like the leading American wine. So it's
like culturally relevant. They're like, yo, give us the show
us that love for the white wine emoji. And I
was like, I guess, I mean, I can see how
people want that, but I mean, give us give me

(52:35):
my smoking one first, not the cigarette one because I'm
tired of using a pine tree and a cloud that
was good, you know anyway, but give us or at
least a roster. Yeah, roster what you up to tonight? Also,
then I can see people that a problematic and yeah,

(52:55):
right with the big old knit cap got the fucking
mesh marino anyway, So yeah, you know the Unicode emoji.
Do you know the consortium they got some power. So
we'll see if they take them up on their offer.
But I will show you a link to that because
it's an impressive document. It's this weird that people are
gonna take fifteen pages worth to say, like we need

(53:16):
this emotion. It is encouraging to hear about that that
people still take stuff like that seriously, when we had
just talked about Trump having a meltdown and how horrifying
that is that the world is still moving forward to
like we need for marketing purposes, wine still matters to us. Yeah, exactly.
Kendall Jackson. Uh. And lastly, this is kind of this
is sort of late breaking, right before we got in
the studio, but it's always Saw Donna tweeted out an

(53:39):
open letter from the cast of Guardians of the Galaxy
to throw their support behind James Gunn because you know,
obviously they kicked him off that movie franchise because of
some jokey tweets that he had. And then people like
Mike Sernovich and Jack Zobiac, who are you know, actual
grotesque human beings who have no moral high ground stand
thinks that date rape it's impossible. Yeah. I think he

(54:01):
had a tweet that's like, have you ever tried to
like rape someone without force? It's impossible or something like that.
You're like, uh, that is not This is the guy
that Disney bent over for. Yeah, exactly. So it's interesting
to see them fully Like if it just starts off
to say, we fully support James Gunn. We were all
shocked by his abrupt firing last week and have intentionally
waited these ten days to respond in order to think, pray, listen,

(54:24):
and discuss. In that time, we've been encouraged by the
outpouring support from fans and members of the media who
wish to see James reinstated as director of Volume three,
as well as discouraged by those so easily duped into
believing the many outlandish conspiracy theories surrounding him, Like it's
the same thing that I think, I think certain of
It's also was trying to come at uh Sarah Silverman
last week. They're like, look at this quote unquote skit

(54:47):
about child trafficking. It was like her and Patton Oswald.
It was like a bit from the Sarah Silverman tried
to get uh Anthony Jesselnick and he just Anthony jesselnickation. Yeah.
He was like, are you kidding me? Yeah, he was like,
trying to find a problematic tweet of mine is like
looking for a needle in a needle store customer appreciation.

(55:08):
So I was like, oh my gosh. Yeah. And he
even like was retweeting, like Twitter was like someone reported
this tweet. He's like, but we found it to be
your jessel Nick basically. But again, it's this weird the
cultural wars man. They're really trying to do whatever they
can to get bring people down. I mean everyone who reacted,
because there was a huge wave of people who were

(55:28):
trying to be the first woke to be like, yeah, no,
that's that's cool, that's cool. You know, you should really
look at like what that really means, why you came
about it, like they they weaponized your need for outrage
and your need to to exercise this power, and how
we cannibalize ourselves because we feel like there's nothing we

(55:50):
can do about the right, that we're so willing to
just eject someone for any reason as long as enough
people are saying it and not really looking at the
situation to not understand why James Gunns situation isn't the
same as Roseanne is. You need to go right back

(56:11):
to one on one if you can't figure out the
difference versus intent and trying to make a joke. Roseanne
was not trying to make a joke. She was trying
to hurt and flare up her base to fling racist
remarks at this black woman no matter how much she
I thought was why yeah, right, yeah, yeah, because white
people are called monkeys all the time. The only person

(56:33):
who would get away with that excuses Elon Musk because
his whack ass calls like people monkeys all the time.
But somehow he's figured out how not to do it
to black people, even Elon Musk. So, so shut the
funk up, Mr Emeralds in my pocket. Yeah, you know,
we'll see I think there. Yeah again, it's all about
this team ship, you know what I mean. It's it's
so partisan that it's like I will completely rearrange the

(56:56):
rules if it's if the enemy is in the scope,
and completely turn a blind eye to the actions of
whatever my perceived side is. So I guess this is
the end of jokes guys, because you can't joke because
then anything you joke about will be taking so seriously
that I can't like how you said that though if
he just now the way you describe the difference between
what James Gunn did and what Rosanne did. And admittedly

(57:19):
I don't even know what his tweets are, so I
that's why I have shut up, because I can't have
an opinion on them, but I do know that if
certain Evich is behind it, then then yeah, obviously it's bad.
And also, if you ever watched Vic Berger's on his
Twitter thread when he shows all the weird jack Soviet
videos of like how he got caught on like bumble

(57:39):
or dating things while his wife was pregnant, and then
like he would live stream and be like, you see,
my wife's here and she supports me, right, and she's
like yeah whatever. Like they eventually I think they got
divorced or something. It's that that whole world is awful mess.
But not dude, like here, we are all living in harmony,
aren't we. Well, Dave, thank you so much for coming

(58:01):
through my man for having wonderful if he thank you
for holding it down with me today. I always appreciate it. Dave.
Where can people find you? Follow you? You know, support you?
And is there a tweet that you really liked from
the past week or a few days that you want
to tell? You know what, man, I'm so sorry to
say this, but no, great I I took Twitter off
my phone fantais ago and it changed my life. It's

(58:23):
been wonderful. Now tell me about that. Actually, well, let's
let's draw this out, walk me through this. So I
don't know, man, I just found myself looking at Twitter
and I follow, you know, all of my friends and
a lot of people in news and politics, and I
just like, I want to know what's going on in
the world. But I also noticed myself when I opened Twitter,
falling down a wormhole of not only reading what's happening

(58:43):
in the news, and then people were reacting to it,
and then people are reacting to the reactions, and then
after an hour, I feel like shit because I'm just
reading all of the negativity instead of just getting the
facts right. So I just thought it was best for
me to take it off, And I will say that
felt good, But then, you know, not being able to
look at my notifications or occasionally post something when I'm

(59:03):
not at my house was annoying. So I just the
other day put it back on my phone, but I
buried it in like a group, you know, not like
three pages back on the front of my iPhone. Yeah,
so I'm not like immediately going to it. That's good. Yeah,
just created create a little space for yourself too. Yeah. Yeah.
I just think not looking at it every day or
obsessively looking at it throughout the day is much healthier. Yeah. Yeah,

(59:27):
all right, Well we'll at least tell people where they can,
you know, see you, Like, I'm at Dave to the
Ross on Twitter, uh, and add Dave to the Ross
on everything. My website is Dave to the Ross dot
com and my podcast is is Suicide Buddies Dope? All right?

(01:00:31):
got real charged up here and we talk about mobile
phones being the new video game platforms or magic the gathering,
then oh boy do I have for you? Is there
a tweet that you liked recently? I think my favorite
tweet has just been h and I'm glad he hasn't
deleted it. But he's gonna say one of James Gunns tweets. No,

(01:00:55):
Rudy Giuliani's he's a cool, nice like he just tweeted
you really just just the word you. So everyone's been
doing her owne but he doesn't know yet. His phone
out of his hands. Yeah, mine, I put this Marquee voice,

(01:01:37):
and this one is a great one. It's a woman
drinking a huge Starbucks and the tweet just says it's
drinking huge ice coffee like she owns the place. Yeah,
there's there's a way to drink something that does transmit
a bit of arrogance, I think to the people around you.
