We just don't stop. um So we're, we're kind of like, ah we're kind of like, ah ah I was going to, was going to shit on something, but um I stopped myself. um Anyway, guys, we're going to talking about um this guy named Donald.
00:02:02
Speaker
yeah something up, someone with gas and Donald and Trump, something like that. I forget his name, but um like we're going talking about some airline ah ah tragedy airline. gary now the tragedy that was pretty awesome It is. Absolutely. We're going to get in some sports talk and I want to talk about a recent thing that happened, which who do you know what watch Mojo is? i feel like everyone does. do. Yeah.
00:02:23
Speaker
Yeah. So watch Mojo. Watch Mojo. Yeah, absolutely. Ms. Mojo. Yeah, absolutely. um Yeah, it's the YouTube brand where, yeah' you know, they always come up with like the top five times that I have definitely been hours of watching Watch
YouTuber Criticism and Social Media Plugs
00:02:40
Speaker
Mojo. Absolutely. Yeah. So thanks to them for wasting my life. Well, they.
00:02:44
Speaker
and they um Yeah, so someone made a video um ah talking about like the downfall of WatchMojo and why it's a good thing. And that's fine. You're allowed to talk about whatever. Sure, we do. But recently, WatchMojo left a comment on this YouTuber's page. And the comment was a huge crash out.
00:03:10
Speaker
And it was so bizarre because WatchMojo isn't like a guy. It's a company. Yeah, it's a whole team. Absolutely. So what the hell is happening? And I want to read the crash out comment.
00:03:23
Speaker
um I also plan on posting a sketch about this later. So check out my ah check on my Instagram. It's Robert Dunn. It's Robert Dunn. It's Robert Dunn. Or check me out on TikTok. It's go go Robert Ranger. That's my TikTok handle. And um anyway, so someone ah what is what is his name?
00:03:42
Speaker
um I just said it like a million times last night because I was filming the sketch last night. um Where is it? Oh, a YouTuber named Voyan, I think I'm pronouncing that right. Voyan made a video kind of shitting on WatchMojo, which I don't care. I don't have any loyalty with WatchMojo.
00:04:01
Speaker
And WatchMojo responded by saying, the day no one talks you, and I said that correctly. Talks you? already sentence number one.
00:04:12
Speaker
Can't even spell it right. yeah The day no one talks you. The day one talks to you. No one talks to you is a day. Yeah, exactly. So had a little bit too much wild turkey before getting on that YouTube. Time five bourbons to leave comments with. Yeah, yeah.
00:04:30
Speaker
The day no one talks to you is the day you are irrelevant. So thank you. Yeah, thank you. This is what they said. Just remember that, Ron, the day no one talks to you is the day you are irrelevant.
00:04:41
Speaker
So thank you. OK, never heard of your channel. And I admit I didn't see the video, but I have a few points. Second sentence. I'd even watch your video, but I have things to say. Bullshit. You did watch the guy's video. Why else would you be pissed?
00:04:54
Speaker
um They said in 2006, when we started, we were obviously a bit ahead of the curve. Cool. knight Okay, already jerking off the shaft. Whoa, big dick here. Whoa. Big dick here. And then in 2012, when every channel was just some vlogger sitting on the couch, we mastered our signature style, and many cried as
WatchMojo's Response and Analysis
00:05:17
Speaker
it looked more like VH1, MTV, ESPN, and not what the vocal minority viewed as YouTube content.
00:05:25
Speaker
I don't know if I cried, but you know what Oh, we all cried. We're like, oh, my God, the quality of WatchMojo. This the grave. My dick, it's it's just veiny. I don't know where I'm going with that. That was last episode we talked about. That was the last episode, yeah. um The challenge in media is selling staying relevant, keeping your audience guessing, et cetera. Companies like BuzzFeed, Vice, Vox, and channels that inspired themselves by us, by their own admission,
00:05:53
Speaker
That's what it says. it says in quotes, by their own emission, by their own emission. Okay. All came and went. We managed to both keep our OG fans happy and innovate. And then I'm almost done with it.
00:06:04
Speaker
If by downfall, you mean being a survivor? Because Ron, watch Mojo. They're survivor. Okay. I'm a survivor. a survivor. They deserve their own hashtag. They deserve hashtag. We are survivor.
00:06:18
Speaker
Watch new season tonight, Thursday, eight o'clock. I don't know when survivor comes on, but, um, They have 100 FTEs, who I assume means full time employees. I'm going to guess we have 100 plus FTEs who earned their living with us. Then I will take it.
00:06:35
Speaker
Then I will take that survivor label. So already this this person, whoever this person is drinking that wild turkey, drinking that bourbon, that Bean, baby, that Jim Bean, something's flowing through this person's blood.
00:06:50
Speaker
And then ah last two, there's one more paragraph. um Also, this may be inside baseball is what they say. Is that a saying? This may be inside baseball. No, I don't. I don't i really don't know. Maybe. I don't know. I don't know. know. I don't know. might be saying.
00:07:06
Speaker
Well, that's what they said. Also, this may be inside baseball, but you are aware AVOD is YouTube 1.0 and the platbo hat platform has evolved, right?
00:07:17
Speaker
I mean, I could break it down for you, but why bother? I mean, hint, viewers are spending nearly an hour per watch session watching our content.
00:07:28
Speaker
We are, in the ways that matter, more pertinent, pertinent? Am I saying that right? Pertinent? pertinent I'm the wrong um I don't know pertinent than ever and then the last sentence of the whole comment I know a long comment that's okay as per as per sound mojo again think of 2012 when the vocal minority whined and then we got the last laugh so
00:07:59
Speaker
there you go watch mojo they're not taking shit for nothing You know, they put on their Reddit mod cap and they were like, you know what, buddy, you want to make a video about us? You came to the wrong neighborhood, motherfucker. like I mean, like... Obviously, they're not doing as well as they think if they have to lash out like that.
00:08:20
Speaker
Right. I'm going to put it in the chat just just in case you want to look at it. Oh, my God, that's very long. um She said hello. Hey. ah But, man, it's just like...
00:08:32
Speaker
dad Are you going to do that? help you Sorry. Yeah. yeah That's the first sentence of There was one part. So thank you. Okay. Never heard of your channel. i admit I didn't see the video, but a few points in 2006. As we started, and we honestly, I love it. I love it.
00:08:52
Speaker
Oh man. i got The challenge is in media is staying relevant. Keep your audience guessing, et cetera. See, no one knew I was going to this Southern weird guy. I didn't know either. I got the wild Turkey. Keeping our energy. Yeah.
00:09:04
Speaker
Innovate. Mm hmm. And by downfall, you mean to survivor having 100 plus full time employees. Full time. Full time. Let me tell you something. You too. So think. Do it as do it as Elmo.
00:09:20
Speaker
And then we got the last laugh.
00:09:26
Speaker
i would That was good. that was good. yeah I just can't imagine an arranging Elmo just pissed at someone in the comments. You don't do the whole thing because it's going to... Okay, the whole thing. I'm sorry, but this is... The day no one talks to you is the day you are of elevate.
00:09:45
Speaker
So thank you. Okay. Never heard of you, Shannon. I admit I didn't see the video, but a few points. Good job. Yeah.
00:09:55
Speaker
but again and bla
00:10:04
Speaker
but more like you
00:10:08
Speaker
yoga
00:10:12
Speaker
good job the ten yeah And then it goes on and on, everybody. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean. Ron, why your voice so raspy? I've been doing Elmo since I was 13 years old. That's why. I know. i Yeah. i I thought there was. um Yeah. I was doing a voice the other day. I think I was just trying to do Jiminy Glick again. Like, I think. Aren't you good with Jiminy Glick?
00:10:35
Speaker
I don't understand exactly what you're talking about. You do. Yeah. Yeah. It was just like. And then I wanted to say. And then. Hint, viewers already spend nearly an hour watching a session watching our content. yeah We are in ways that matter more pertinent than ever as Soundgamojo begins. Think of 2012 when the vocal minority whined and got the last laugh.
00:10:58
Speaker
Laugh. Yeah, it's just like they said... but No one tucks you is the day you are irrelevant. So thank you. Thank you. What is it? city You even do? um Yeah, I love it. i mean, I could go about this all day. I did do a sketch, everyone. So I hope you guys enjoy that.
Trump's Gas Tax Rumor
00:11:15
Speaker
um And ah yeah, we'll see you down for you. But why bother?
00:11:20
Speaker
Why bother? I mean, day no one talks. You is the day you are. real i mean, but was this like the whole team was was this like a whole team saying to do this? Or was this like a whole or like one guy just losing his shit because he's about it.
00:11:35
Speaker
I think it's yeah, it's got it's got to be one guy because there's too many like typos and like weird phrases and shit. It's got to be the person who who's everything. Obviously, whoever's in charge of social media. um I don't know why you would get so offended by it. Like if I worked for watch Mojo, I mean, of course, I don't want I don't want anyone shitting on my job, but I'm not going to do this. I'm not going to go full Reddit mod on someone. Yeah, I mean, I wouldn't go on like a thing about my airline and then post like a bunch of stuff on there. Like, how dare you talk about like.
00:12:08
Speaker
no Yeah. You know what I would do if I had to post something? Because sometimes we get hate comments ah sometimes, very rarely. ah And we usually I just like play around.
00:12:19
Speaker
I think everyone gets a hate comment for anything. I mean, feel like you could be feeding the homeless. It's a comment, baby. I'll take it. Oh, yeah. I'll take it, too. I love hate comments. Yeah. But I think, you know, it'd be funny, though. I think if I work for WatchMojo, I think I would just do a sideways sad face.
00:12:35
Speaker
And that's it. That's it. That would be my comment. It would just be a sad face. What a tear or something. Yeah. Yeah. That was my teardrop. So, yeah, it's yes. I just I don't know. It's that's funny to me.
00:12:50
Speaker
It's funny. Yeah. Yeah. So this might be inside baseball, maybe football night or could be rugby. Yeah, I assume that's ah something this guy ah or lady uses every day. How dare we? How dare we? ah like like I assume they're like by the water cooler and they want to like spill some tea and they're like, hey, now listen, this may be some inside baseball, but you know I don't know. if Maybe I should incorporate that in my language.
00:13:19
Speaker
Like, hey, look, this might be some inside baseball. and Let us know, everybody, in the comments. Yeah. Is inside baseball a real thing? Is that a phrase? Maybe it is. We have the internet. now entirely And I refuse to use it. I haven't used. I don't use the internet, Ron.
00:13:35
Speaker
but I go to the library. ah This is inside baseball expression. Could be, let's say, according to co-pilot. Let's see. Inside baseball refers to details, technical or specialized aspects of the subject that are only fully appreciated by insiders or experts.
00:13:52
Speaker
right. So, hey, and that could be that could be inside baseball, you know. So ah shout out to WatchMojo. I hope you're OK. I mean, I hope they are OK. I mean, they do still entertain me. I mean, especially when they do like top greatest Disney villains or something like that. I always enjoy those things. So.
00:14:08
Speaker
You know, yeah, i i i I had a love hate relationship with them because I like seeing lists like that. But I don't like the person that just talks over it the whole time. I rather just like watch the clip. But yeah, sometimes the person that talks over it, like, please, you shut up. yeah But then again, they have a all these they have a hundred plus full time employees. I'm just saying.
00:14:29
Speaker
ah Yeah, Ron, just so you know that like they have the same quality as VH1, MTV, and ESPN. yeah So but you got you better respect. Hopefully these 100-plus full-time employees do not lose their job because- That can't be true. They can't have 100-plus employees, can they? I don't know, but maybe. But you know if they do lose their job, the gas prices are going to hit them a lot more, Robert.
00:14:52
Speaker
The gas price is going a lot harder, but there might be some relief. That's true. Okay, so, Ron, this could be inside baseball, but I heard Trump is doing something about the the gas stuff. um Allegedly, he wants to suspend the federal a gas tax.
00:15:09
Speaker
okay Is this a good thing that he's doing? yeah Is that possible? No. congress Because it is a federal tax, Congress has to do it. We all know how that goes.
00:15:21
Speaker
Oh, they love us, Congress. Congress, yeah. Some of them do. Some of them don't. Yo, shout out Congress. We're going to have Congress on the podcast next week. So basically, we may see some things.
00:15:33
Speaker
so Okay, right now the current gas tax is, I know this answer, 18.4 cents, I want to say. I'm scanning, I'm scanning, I'm scanning. Yeah, the federal government charges, according to CBS News, the federal government charges 18.4 cents per gallon on gas and 24.4 cents per gas per gallon on diesel.
00:15:54
Speaker
Okay. Okay. So that could, you know, make a difference, right? You know, the cost, and then I give a little diagram here. Here's the cost of going to a A gallon of gas. 51% is crude oil. 20% is refining. 18% is taxes. 11% is distribution and marketing.
00:16:11
Speaker
Now, here's where the problem lies. Okay. Okay. Marketing gas. Yeah, exactly. be How many BP commercials? You see BP commercials, Shell commercials, Exxon commercials? Yeah, marketing.
00:16:22
Speaker
so Yeah, I understand. I just find it so silly. Like, I remember, it not that to cut you off, but I'm cutting you off. I remember my mom used to say, like, why are there commercials for milk? why Unless she got that from a comedian. I don't know. But why are there commercials for milk? Some milk companies are better than others. So here's where the issue lies, Robert.
00:16:41
Speaker
Yes. With, okay, we might see a little bit of a thing, okay, but you, a little bit of a relief. However, gas companies don't, you when they get the tax from benefit, they don't usually give it to us.
00:16:52
Speaker
They kind of take it for themselves. So even though they won't have to spend the money, it's not like it's going to trickle down to us. But wait, in their own pockets, don't they want to help the American people? Anyway, anyway.
00:17:04
Speaker
What the fuck? And here's another problem. Because gas prices may be going down, it's going to encourage people to drive a little bit more, right? ah That doesn't change the fact there's still a war in Iran going on, and we're still not getting enough gas to begin with.
00:17:20
Speaker
So this could create an even bigger problem of a shortage. So is it a good thing? it could be, but it might backfire entirely. So all we do is wait and see.
00:17:31
Speaker
All right. We could just try to end the war or we could just try to end the war. That would be without violence. Maybe we should just, you know, get some talks going and just fucking end it. And I know I think we should just be like, hey, sorry about that. We're going to we're going to head out. That's what I think. But what do I do? I just sit here and voices of Elmo and some crazy southern guy. That's all I Yeah, we just read watch Mojo comments like what the fuck. Also, I am running for office, everybody. I'm I'm officially office of what with the ah the the country, Ron. What are you talking about? you could run from I'm running for the janitor's office. Are you a natural? Are you a U.S. citizen, Robert? Were you born on U.S. soil?
00:18:10
Speaker
um think so. I think I was born on U.S. soil. Are you over 35 years old? ah No, I'm not. I'm you are you are over 30 years old. I am 19 years old. Are you a convicted felon? Oh wait, that doesn't matter anymore.
00:18:25
Speaker
Anyway. oh um I did own team pageant. yeah So when I was a teenager though, though so it wasn't weird. You could technically run for president. i mean, I could go.
00:18:39
Speaker
I don't, I don't think I would. though Yeah, maybe not. Not the job I want. No. Well, I really want to be president because I want to dance in that ballroom. I mean, that's really the only reason that's already been president before.
00:18:53
Speaker
Oh, oh where yeah. Ron, let me. Can I just ask you, why didn't you help fund a new ballroom in Central High School? So listen, okay, because my funding went to get our funding went to grad night. Okay. We it was had grad night when we went to Disney and saw Sierra.
00:19:10
Speaker
Yeah. Oh, not Sierra. It was yeah. Sierra. Yeah. And yellow card. I was always and really intimidated to go to those things because I was just was not, I was not cool. I did. it I didn't have any cool friends, Ron. All the cool kids went to those things. All my friends were fucking nerds. And so was I. Every every social group went.
00:19:29
Speaker
No, no one would want to hang out with me. I was just some kid doing a podcast. Well, wasn't doing a podcast yet, but you were too busy. man I told them, though, doing cartoons. abino backs sheet which is not i should I should have told them in high school, like, guys, I'm actually going to be a podcaster. And they're like what the fuck is a podcast?
00:19:49
Speaker
And I'd be like, just I'm sure everyone would have been like, oh, my God, if you and Rondé, we would totally listen. Nobody listens now. Where are you now, people? Where are you now? Yeah. Thank you. When you do but do know us when you were when you were partying at grad night, I was grinding in the podcast world. So i didn't have time for grad night. god We do this. But I'm not famous. Yes, yes, yes. Have you ever thought that like you can get away there? There there is an there is a whole booklet of humor that you can do, but you you kind of have to stop if you do hit fame, you know? ah God.
00:20:24
Speaker
Because you know what i mean? I don't know. Because like then you start to get rich and then it's like there's only so many. Yeah, it depends. It depends on like what like if your humor got if my humor got me to where i to where I am, then no, I wouldn't get rid of it. But then like, yeah, there are things I did as a kid that if they came out, I would have to either a apologize or be just make not make up anything. But like,
00:20:48
Speaker
You know, I was a dumb teenager when I did those things. Stupid. you know Things like that. You're just a teenage dirtbag, baby. I was a teenage dirtbag. Yeah, exactly. And i might write I might reference about what I did as a kid later on.
00:21:01
Speaker
Okay. I'm down for that. I might reference. I don't know because, you know, this is leaning to the penetrating question because, you know, sometimes we read them in advance. but ah Yeah. I actually did not read this one in advance. oh no I just saw who it's from. yeah But, um yeah, so all the girls in high school,
00:21:17
Speaker
who didn't know I was going to be a podcaster. Guess what, baby? You miss your chance. Now I'm a podcaster. And what are you? Oh, a nurse practitioner making really good money and saving lives. ah Yeah, you're not podcasting. You're not podcasting. Sorry. I actually do have an ex who's a nurse practitioner. That's a true story. So that's fun. um In the meantime, everyone, we can move on from that. ah Uh,
Denver Airport Tragedy Discussion
00:21:46
Speaker
something. I don't know if this is, this is worse news. We're only getting worse news right now.
00:21:51
Speaker
Um, so let's fly right into this and stick the landing. Wow. Wow. So this happened a a few days ago. man jumped, john a man jumped, jumped the fence at Denver airport.
00:22:08
Speaker
Oh, can I try this? Ran onto the runway. oh We believe he wanted to commit suicide. I believe it was a frontier plane that hit he hit. He wanted to unalive himself?
00:22:20
Speaker
I get, yeah. Yeah, I guess that's what we call it now, right? Stupid shit. Anyway, he ran into the oncoming plane that was about to take off, hit the turbine, and got sucked into the turbine and died.
00:22:34
Speaker
Wow, that is some Final Destination shit right there. Yeah, that is obviously very sad what happened. Obviously, whatever's going through that person's mind, like, holy shit. Obviously, the plane was taken out of service for a lot of things. But um yeah, crazy.
00:22:50
Speaker
I mean, with all the airline stuff, you hear all these close calls and stuff. Now you hear somebody just like running on and getting sucked into the turbine. Kind of disgusting. Wow, that is nuts. But the video I saw on like some news feed,
00:23:02
Speaker
was I think even more disturbing in some ways. People were, obviously they had to evacuate the plane because the engine caught on fire. h people Because of the body. After they, I'm ignoring you, after they got off the plane, they went and took pictures of the turbine.
00:23:19
Speaker
Oh, obviously, if a human being got sucked into a turbine going full speed, they got chopped up into pieces and people yeah just evacuated the plane. And now we're taking pictures of it. Oh, that why would you take pictures of that? Because people are still nuts.
00:23:34
Speaker
Where are you going to post that? To me, that is some of the most disrespectful. Oh, somebody just fucking. die man Right. Not only is it disrespectful, which might not which I might be a hypocrite with my next cold joke, but um not only is it disrespectful, but it's like, where are you going to post that for real? Like, where are you posting it?
00:23:53
Speaker
Like, it's like, are you going to take a picture of a car crash when you're driving and then post it on social media? Like, I don't get it I don't get it. Actually, people do. You know they do. Oh, I'm sure. I'm sure they do because all the time we are we are addicted to um to ah endorphins. And that gives us an endorphin rush. Did you ever see that... um What do you call it? Did you ever see that cartoon? It's in black and white of how everyone's just on their phones and there's no, you know, human factor anymore. Everybody's just.
00:24:24
Speaker
I, I forget what it's called, but I'll try. I love cartoons. It is a black and white cartoon. It's drawn like the 40s style, but it's
Society's Phone Addiction Cartoon
00:24:32
Speaker
more modern. oh I was imagining that exactly. Yeah, it's exactly what it is. um yeah Everybody's like on their phones. Somebody's like crying. They all take pictures and it's just how we're just not people anymore, man. We're just yeah attached to our phone. Now we, I'm using my phone as obviously a camera right now. We use it as a device, but you gotta be able to, but I think we talk about this every now and then, gotta be able to,
00:24:51
Speaker
get off Yeah, this happened to me a couple days ago where I got caught in the web of doom scrolling and I had to stop myself because I was like, oh my God, this is really I can feel the rot in my brain. And I had to I turned off my phone and I put it i set it away from me. It was so I hate when that happens to me. And it does happen. it happens to all of us. My I will be honest.
00:25:14
Speaker
I fall into a state of depression and my anxiety goes through the fucking roof if I'm on that phone all day long. Now lately, this morning I wasn't doom scrolling so much. I'm almost done with a book that I have on my Kindle app on my phone. So I've been reading that.
00:25:27
Speaker
Sweet. So that that's that's what I've been doing. It's a Batman book. it's actually really awesome Oh, i don't it doesn't matter what it is unless it's ah the i kind of nerds when it comes to kind it is my comp. I would question it. But um um but yeah, I ah so i I think that we do get depressed from it because um it is constant like endorphins, endorphins, endorphins. And eventually I think we're just like.
00:25:51
Speaker
we We can't produce it anymore. yeahp And so the doom scrolling stops working and then we only get worse. And then we want to eat pizza rolls. Am I talking about myself? I love i don't know. i don't know, Ron. I might be. When it comes to our podcast, I hope people – Even though we do video for it, I do hope people listen to us more than they do actually view us. Not because we're not camera ready.
00:26:15
Speaker
um we are We are fucking camera ready. I almost was going to wear a suit. I'm not even joking. I took out my... I don't know if you noticed, but when we had ah Thomas Tulick on the show, I wore a polo shirt because wanted to look a little... Gotta look good for the lost boy, you know. yeah i can't have my ah my um Princess Bride shirt on right now. Yeah.

Congrats, Tom. Congrats, Thomas. Yeah. Good job. That's pretty cool. But yeah yeah. Just connect with the people, man. I don't know. I just...
00:26:51
Speaker
Like today I'm going to go watch a concert, a free concert in Central Park. It's like a Grateful Dead concert. Now, obviously i can't smoke weed or do drugs, but ah it's like a tribute thing. And it's free. That's what and that's cool.
00:27:03
Speaker
Wait, you said it's in Central Park? Central Park, yeah. Oh, I'm so jealous. I love Central Park. I'm so jealous. I think I i get it like a hankering for New York every so often. I'm just like, I just want to go. i do not get ah i do not get a hankering for Los Angeles. No. Well, you know, Ron, you know, we're keeping this positive. And I don't mean that in a negative way. It's just not my chance. of course not.
00:27:24
Speaker
Of course not. You have perfect weather. No, i yeah, a hankering for Los Angeles, I would assume would just be I want to go to the beach and have that beach lifestyle where New York. I love Redondo Beach. Oh, my God. It's so nice there. Yeah. actually go to Manhattan Beach. marine marina Marina Del Rey is also really pretty, but I read del re i will be in Marina Del Rey for work.
00:27:50
Speaker
ah Yeah, right. A little little fun fact about Marina Del Rey. If I'm not mistaken, i could be wrong here. South Park Studios located in Marina Del Rey. oh So you'll be right next to where South Park is from Marina Del Rey. Are you not that far? Are you?
00:28:05
Speaker
Yeah, dude, it's like a I don't want to drive 20 minutes there. Oh, my God. Maybe. i'll No, it's actually like 45 minutes, but it's it's worth it. I saw i did the math. Yeah, I saw. Yeah, it's not bad, depending on the time of day. But yeah, but outside of that, I mean, we do have some cold jokes. We do. How many you have? How many? One cold joke today, buddy. Cool. All right.
00:28:30
Speaker
um i'll do I'll read yours and then can read mine. Okay. Unless we want to do vice versa. So this is a segment called Cold Jokes, everybody. This is where ah we write each other jokes and then we read them for the first time. And the segment is called Cold Jokes.
00:28:45
Speaker
Cold Jokes. Dying from your cold jokes. All right. The first cold joke is coming from Ron. And Ron says... a I was watching Mrs. Doubtfire earlier, and I was watching the scene where the kids discover Mrs. Doubtfire standing up, taking a piss.
00:29:00
Speaker
The kids freak out and threaten to call 911 for her being trans. Since the movie takes place in San Francisco, nowadays, the kid would be arrested for being transphobic. That is that is a that that's just like a that's not even joke. That's a fact.
00:29:15
Speaker
That's just a fact. So it's true. All right. That is absolutely true. And then my joke. Here we go. We're going to my joke now for Ron.
00:29:28
Speaker
With the recent death from airlines happening recently. Don't you dare. With the recent death from airlines happening recently, it's ironic that we're losing spirit airlines and instead airlines are giving more spirits.
00:29:42
Speaker
wow Wow. little yeah Wow. I wrote that while we were setting up the episode. I'm like, oh shit, I don't have a cold joke. There is. However, speaking of spirit and we should have brought this up.
00:29:55
Speaker
There is somebody is trying to bring them back. Oh, um I forget. Oh, my God. Amazon. No, no, no. Who's trying to somebody's trying to buying spirit? Trying to.
00:30:06
Speaker
I meant to write this earlier. Spirit. Is it a what's his name from Shark Tank? Who's building the giant database in Utah? A fan led crowdfunding campaign is underway to purchase the shuttered spirit airlines with the goal of creating a people owned airline called to spirit 2.0.
00:30:25
Speaker
Okay. So not the most creative people. It was started by Hunter Peterson, a former Mr. Beast employee and voice actor. God. He a longtime Spirit Airlines fan.
00:30:36
Speaker
In a viral TikTok video, this is from co-pilot. He proposed that if 20% of U.S. adults, about 50 million people, each contributed to the Spirit fare $30 $40, the airline could be bought.
00:30:49
Speaker
Today, we're going to put on 20 people and only one of the people are going to walk out with $10 million dollars in their pocket you could go in their pocket. You could go to Let's Buy Spirit dot com or Let's Buy Spirit Air dot com where supporters could pledge non-binding contributions to show interest. but Within days, pledges exceeded $120 million. And by mid-May, the total was over $132 more than people.
00:31:18
Speaker
Hey, whatever. i mean, the world is a weird place. We're crowdfunding companies now. I don't know. In the event that this works, okay, in the event that that works, the only people I would truly be happy for are the pilots and flight attendants and workers of that airline.
00:31:34
Speaker
That is right. Because as as a flight attendant, it's one of the worst things that can happen is your airline to go bankrupt and get stranded in the middle of fucking nowhere because nobody wants to be in Newark, New Jersey.
00:31:45
Speaker
So, yeah, right. That's ah no offense to Newark. I lived in East Orange for a year. So, yeah. So, yeah. Cool. That's fine. I hope that works out for spirit. But um let's hear your cold joke, Robert.
00:31:56
Speaker
Oh, that was it. Oh, yeah. You're already ready. And that's the end of cold jokes, everybody.
00:32:05
Speaker
All right. But um we have something going on, everybody. We're going to get into ah Ron with sports. And Ron has a few things to say. So let's go about it, everybody. Here we go.

00:34:10
Speaker
I like how we were like. The Flyers were swept by the Hurricanes and the Hurricanes will go on to play either Buffalo or Montreal. Awesome. That is awesome. I loved how we were having technical with difficulties with the new music and it was like, yeah, yeah, yeah, said yeah. And it was like, oh, shit i stay care I know I thought it was, it was great. It was honestly really good. I loved it.
00:34:31
Speaker
Um, but what is going on with, uh, the Eurovision? Oh, it is starting in Vienna this year. It is the 70th Eurovision 70th.
00:34:42
Speaker
seventieth well which is pretty cool. I mean, it's been going around since 1956. Which is pretty cool. I like it. Oh, God. The only time it was ever canceled was the COVID pandemic in 2020. I remember that.
00:34:57
Speaker
They've had, let's see, Celine Dion won it for, I think was Switzerland in like 1988 or 1989 or something like that, which I thought was interesting because I'm like, aren't you fucking Canadian? Whoa, shots fired. french shots fired. was a great fucking year for everybody.
00:35:15
Speaker
Everybody loves that song right? Mm-hmm. know song I'm talking about Rob? No. Waterloo. Oh. yeah it's probably one of my least favorite songs from them. 1974 is the year that ABBA won.
00:35:30
Speaker
you're of it the year Whoa. That's cool. Waterloo in which pretty much launched their career. Okay, cool. We know how I feel about ABBA. so yeah You love them. I fucking hate them.
00:35:43
Speaker
Wow. I'm coming right back. Hold on. Oh, no, Ron is leaving us. But don't worry, everyone. You're with me. And ah we're going to talk about some things. but Oh, and he's back. That was quick. OK. No, I noticed the light switch was on. That's not supposed to be on. So I'm like, I'm going to shut that off now because I don't need any electrical.
00:36:01
Speaker
I know. Seriously, we got to get rid of that light. Just be in complete darkness when we do this. No, it's like a electrical issue. like Like the wires are all fucked up and I need to be rewired. Which I have no skill in that. So, yeah.
00:36:14
Speaker
but Well, another thing that's really cool is that I'm sipping on some coffee right now, Ron. And I got some i got some questions for you. you have questions for me. Yeah, as someone who worked in a coffee shop, I feel like we've we've asked this before, but fuck it. Sir, I did not work in a coffee shop. I worked in coffee for 15 fucking years, okay? Oh. I did. It was my livelihood, baby.
00:36:36
Speaker
Yeah, I lived and breathed coffee, brother. I really did. I really did. For a long time, I did. But um I do remember that time. ah What was like your go to and what are your thoughts on matcha? a lot of people seem to love matcha. Is it actually healthier? I feel like it's I feel like it's more fattening than it than it sells. some No, no, no, no, no. OK, so my coffee order. OK, my go to coffee order is usually a cold brew of some sort.
00:37:00
Speaker
Cold brew or flash brew and iced coffee without milk. I liked it. Like I had mentioned, I think we did this before. We may have done this. I think I think we did. i think. But I'm going to change it up because I do have a question. Sure.
00:37:11
Speaker
We've done it before, but yeah, I like cold coffee. We've done this before, but as far as matcha is concerned, which we haven't spoken about before. No. Matcha, matcha itself is ground up Japanese green tea. I believe it's sencha. Okay. Sencha is a type of green tea. It's ground up green tea in its purest form.
00:37:28
Speaker
Like ceremonial matcha is very good for you It's very healthy. okay Okay. Cool. The problem is Starbucks, And a lot of places in the United States, we make lattes out of them. Starbucks puts their, I think, their sugar already under their blend. So it's how you're, you know, getting it in a healthy version. It's very grassy. It is acquired taste. But lately, everywhere, I've seen matcha and lavender combinations.
00:37:53
Speaker
Lavender's in everything. I haven't tried it, but I don't know how I feel about it. It's in our all-purpose cleaner. Lavender is literally everywhere. I'm not really big. I love matcha itself. But, like...
00:38:04
Speaker
A matcha lavender. I don't know. don't know what everyone else thinks. I don't know if I. It kind of reminds me of. ah Have you ever gone to like a really hipstery ice cream store as someone who oh yeah was in the ice cream business like his whole childhood? um There's certain ones. I remember there was one in Woodland Hills, California. i don't know if it's still around. They kind of had flavors like rose, like roses was a flavor. I can tolerate sometimes.
00:38:29
Speaker
But it's like, I don't think of Rose as like a flavor. I just think it's a flower. Like there's like, you know what I mean? and It's a flavor. um Have you ever had like, um like red bean ice cream or something like that?
00:38:41
Speaker
I think I have. That's actually pretty good. Yeah. that stuff is actually pretty I forget the name of the company, but that stuff was that they had like a red bean ice cream. i Like that's weird. I'm like, actually pretty good. Yeah. um Yeah. I was trying to think of a canned bean company. I forgot. i was going to say is a oh yeah is it is a Goya ice cream. Is that what it is? a yeah Yeah, could be. So the question I had, I don't know if you know about this because it's a little bit like different.
00:39:08
Speaker
But do you yeah do you know anything about now, Ronald? You're a little old now. I don't know if you're up. I don't know. don't know if you're up for this kind of question. But no do you know anything about mushroom coffee? And is it actually beneficial?
00:39:20
Speaker
It can be. I do know a little bit about mushroom coffee. I am too old. Yeah, obviously mushroom coffee wasn't that. It's supposed to wake you up a little bit differently. Not so much with that caffeine jolt. It's supposed to kind of ease you into the day. it's supposed They claim it helps with, you know, I guess like blood pressure and cortisol. or Yeah, all things like that. It helps with bloating. um I've worked with people who use it and they love it.
00:39:42
Speaker
um My thing is it's really expensive. Yeah, and expensive is all fuck. And I do not want to pay that much for mushroom coffee. I I ah i actually got few bags for free.
00:39:56
Speaker
Did you? Which bread? So I don't. It's in my cabinet. I might have thrown it away. But the ah the commercials for it are pretty like the commercials for it are pretty crazy, though. Like sometimes it's like, do you ever crash in the middle of the day? Or like, do you ever feel like you have stomach fat that you just can't get rid of? But then there was a recent one and I'm not making this up. It was like, do you ever go to bed and your butthole is really itchy?
00:40:22
Speaker
and And then they start promoting the mushroom coffee. are you say Was that really part of the commercial? That was really part of the commercial online. It wasn't like on TV. And I'm just like, matter excuse me. Maybe I just
Mushroom Coffee Debate
00:40:33
Speaker
have worms. I don't know. you're going to bed with an itchy butthole here, I have a solution for that. Here, are you ready?
00:40:39
Speaker
Wipe your ass. Oh, that's the solution. I was going to say to myself. Wipe your ass. I was going to say toilet bowl cleaner, but use that stick and.
00:40:49
Speaker
Oh, you could have worms. Maybe, maybe go check, get get a check. mean, that's also possible. Yeah. but know You know what the real answer is? The real answer is to drink dehydrated mushrooms. That's the real answer. Yeah, that's the answer. oh That's the actual answer. However.
00:41:04
Speaker
Robert, since we talked about we're talking about assholes, I got to ask you this. Yeah. Are you a fan of bidets? Yeah, your name. So i think I'm going to be the minority here. I'm going to say na I'm going to say a little bit nay and I'll explain why.
00:41:21
Speaker
Love them. I know everyone does. I don't. So that's why it's hard for me to say I don't dislike them. But the only times I've ever tried them. it's like It's like a lightning bolt. It's like I feel like my skin's going to peel off. It's so like strong. One of the hotels I go to has bidets on all their toilets. Uh-huh.
00:41:45
Speaker
And if the water's heated. You can adjust. There's different settings. You could move the wand. You could adjust the pressure. Maybe just the pressure too You definitely had the pressure too high. um Because, yeah, it hurts like a son of a bitch. It hits you right at that spot. Let's say you a hemorrhoid and it hits you right in that fucking hemorrhoid. Right. Exactly.
00:42:03
Speaker
Trust me. I know. So. Trust ah street so it But if you get it just right, oh, it's wonderful. I do recommend still using some toilet paper because the bidet doesn't always get it all.
00:42:16
Speaker
Yeah, you have to use some. You use a little. Yeah. it It does the most of the job. And then the bidet at this hotel, they have a dryer. So I get to dry my booty as well. Wow. It's Oh, it's the greatest. have evolved. I'll tell you that i actually have a bidet I need to install. So I think I'm going to do that tomorrow.
00:42:34
Speaker
Wow, oh cool. It's one of those you just connect the waters and there you Yeah, yeah. I thought of getting one of those myself. It saves money on toilet papers. It is environmentally friendly. You are cleaner. Like that is it. You are a cleaner.
00:42:48
Speaker
Yeah. You know, I do get when I see someone who's installed a bidet in their house, I can't help but think like, man, you really gave shitting a lot of thought. Like shitting is on your mind. And it's just it it gives me a weird feeling when I walk into someone's bathroom. i'm Like, wow, you've been thinking about shitting a lot, huh?
00:43:06
Speaker
Like, I don't know. When you're like me and you went undiagnosed with problems for years. Yes. Yeah. Shitting is always on your mind. Like today, just like today i came downstairs and I looked at my wife and I said, it wasn't a fart. It wasn't a fart. Oh, no. But i think that that's I think that's just us in our age group as well as we approach the 40s and beyond. It's kind of like, hey, you can't always trust it.
00:43:32
Speaker
You got to be careful. Two 40s and beyond. Oh, God. But yeah, ah speaking of how am I going to transition this? Yeah, love come on, baby. Speaking of shitting on on in our pants, we have people shitting on us sometimes in the form of a penetrating question. i don't know if that's going to happen this time, but. um We do have a penetrating question. So this, by the way, we're entering this segment of the podcast where you can send us some penetrating questions, which means you could just go to the link in our bio and Instagram, downwithdppodcast, and you can send in a completely anonymous question to us, and we'll answer it on the show. In fact, I came up with this idea i was texting with Ron yesterday, that if I ever get into an online argument,
00:44:17
Speaker
which doesn't happen often. I've tried to not do that. I think I might try to end those arguments with just a link to the penetrating question and be like, look, say what you want to say to to me. We'll talk about on the podcast.
00:44:29
Speaker
And then just you got into a thing with a religious fanatic recently. Oh, yeah, yeah. Someone someone was just going on and I don't know. I could go into it. There was just like a religious nut that was like just belittling people for no reason. And I i just can't I can't stand like online bullies. So I have to say something. And I call them out. and of course, the second I gave them any attention, they just honed in on me. And I almost I don't think they responded. So I was like, I don't like to keep it going.
00:44:58
Speaker
um But if it did keep going, I would have just been like, hey, send us a penetrating question at Down With DP Podcast. We'll talk about it on the show. I think that might be my way out. And then I could talk about on the show. And we got penetrating questions. Yeah, I like it.
00:45:10
Speaker
But here we go. going get into a segment called Penetrating Questions. Penetrating Questions. Penetrating Questions.
00:45:23
Speaker
Do you want to do this one? Sure. Sure, sure, sure. It is from Brad. Ah, the famous Brad. Our dear friend, Brad. First time writer, longtime friend of the show.
00:45:36
Speaker
Are you a first time? under Under your actual name, I think you are. Yes. But anyway, I just want to say thanks for the shout out. Last episode, Rob. Wow. Somebody's a little cunt. Anyway. Wow. I did indeed reunite with my old improv group from Chicago. We did a set at the Asheville Improv Festival, which I highly recommend any improvisers check out next year.
00:45:58
Speaker
Ron, I told you that I told you what it was when we were in Miami, but I think you were too distracted by banana dad. Banana daddy. It's like this coffee, ice cream, pastry shop kind of thing. And they kind of put bananas and everything. And i forget what they're saying was. But anyway that was a good cover up. Yeah.
00:46:20
Speaker
Anyway, love you both. Here's my question. What is your opinion of people putting shoes on the bed? I'll take my question off the air. ah I have some opinions about people and their beds. Also, um triggering me I did have a dream.
00:46:38
Speaker
I did have like a little literal five second dream of Brad's improv group that I wanted to say because had five second i dream about Brad's group. I woke up and I was moist. Yes. And, and shitting myself and I had to use my bidet. Uh, no, I've, so I have dreams by the way of random shit, usually stuff that isn't impactful of my day. Like if I, um,
00:47:04
Speaker
Like I'm trying to think of an example, like if I'm just walking out of the street and someone spills a drink and or like I see someone so drop their water bottle or something and it goes all over the place. Well, have a dream about that. Like I have dreams about stuff that mundane things in the day. So I think when talked about getting out of the trash.
00:47:23
Speaker
then I had a dream about a raccoon eating out of trash and said to me, Robert, would you like some? And I said, would you like some trash? um And ah and I think I saw Brad's story of him doing improv and I had a dream about that. But all it was was I asked a question and I think it was a mix of you saying, like, I don't think Brad did improv. and We just talked about it. So my dream was like trying to fill in the blanks.
00:47:47
Speaker
And I got to talk talk to Brad and I'm like, Brad, did you or did you not do improv? Because I swear I saw it, but Ron saying it wasn't. And his response was, yes, that was my Groundlings troupe.
00:48:00
Speaker
And I know he didn't go to Groundlings, but for some because he's Second City, right? i was ah No, I know it's not Second City. It's something else. Oh, it's just something else. He might have. Did he just say it? Oh, I don't know. but and And he knows somebody at Second City ah that he's worked with before. yeah But no, this this wasn't Second City. ah No. Yeah, which um I have my thoughts about Groundlings, which, man, I could get into at some point. But hes his response was, oh, yeah, that was my Groundlings troop.
00:48:26
Speaker
So I was like, oh, Brad's in Groundlings. I didn't know that. That's a good dream. And then it ended abruptly ended. And I moved on to the next dream. i had a bunch of nightmares last night. I did not sleep well. um And ah that one was not a nightmare.
00:48:39
Speaker
But ah but yeah, and then it just ended. And I was like. I got my answer. i'm like, OK, so Brad was just doing improv ground at Groundlings. OK, now I know. But um but yeah, to his question, though, sorry, I just had to go off on a tangent. um Putting shoes on the bed. i would not recommend doing that to anyone else, but I did have an ah awkward moment.
00:49:02
Speaker
with a friend of mine. i had an awkward moment with a friend of mine. We were ah we were working on a film project that I did. And so we're just looking at his computer. He's in a computer chair. And so I just you know, I just sit on the bed like watching it. I don't have my feet up there. Nothing. And he like looked at me and he's like, hey,
00:49:22
Speaker
don't sit on the bed. I sleep on there. Your butt is where my face goes. And I'm like, whoa, there wait, I know. But like, who has ever given anyone shit about just taking a seat on someone's bed? It's not like I was sitting on his pillow. It was like the end of the bed. It was like, it was just such an awkward moment. I was like, wait, really? like This is an issue. that is It's a little bit weird.
00:49:45
Speaker
And so I so I scrounged to find some chair and i was like, all right, I mean, it's your bed who I'm not going to not going to disrespect you. But it was just such an awkward thing. But yeah, shoes, I would not do shoes on the bed. That is for me is one of my yeah biggest pet peeves.
00:50:02
Speaker
Yeah, so I'm going to go into this story that will incriminate me in the future. huh. Not proud of it, but it is ah if you knew me in high school, this is one of the funnier things I've done.
00:50:14
Speaker
hmm. So it was in thespians, a thespian so competition in high school. And Brad thought it would be funny because he knew how much I hated it.
00:50:30
Speaker
Thought it would be funny to take everyone's shoes from the troop and put them on my bed. Oh. We're talking like maybe about eight pairs of shoes on my bed.
00:50:44
Speaker
Okay. And i kind of had like a mental breakdown, i guess you would call it. No, I I'm like, I'm like 15 years old. 14 years old I did this. And I just look around the room and I just scream out it's naked Nancy time. And I just take a nope i took off my pants and started beating the shit out of Brad. That's basically what happened.
00:51:08
Speaker
And for the next. Okay. Out of Brad. Cause all I hear was I took off my pants. I started beating it. beating the shit out of Brad. So okay it was like I just started to beat it in front of everybody. So yeah, teach you how to do that. Years in high school.
00:51:22
Speaker
I can't believe I'm telling this on the air. Um, it's okay. Naked Ron became a thing. Okay. And that became a thing for many, many years. Yeah. To the point where even had somebody's mom come through the drive-thru where I worked at Dunkin Donuts. And she looked at me and goes, now mind you, her son was in one of my classes. She looked at me and goes,
00:51:41
Speaker

Bed Shoe Etiquette Debate
00:52:28
Speaker
my bed. If anything, I'll sit on my comforter, but I do not lay on my sheets or anything. I think i think a lot of people, maybe a lot of people do that. I don't know. Yeah.
00:52:34
Speaker
Well, yeah, I get that. I come in the house. I do not. My shoes kind of, my wife gets mad at me if I have to run upstairs because I forgot something and my shoes are on. I'm like, I'm not putting my shoes back Like, I'm not taking. them Yeah, I rarely ah put my shoes on my own stuff. I think sometimes I have that. Maybe you're just super tired and you just don't give a fuck. And you're like, fuck it. No one's here. i have the it's a privilege to do this and then I'll do it. But I don't do it often, um even to my own bed and my own couch and stuff. But it is kind of ingrained in us. Like, you don't do that. I don't know if that's a generational thing or not. Right. Yeah, that's a good question, because we did grow up in the generation of
00:53:12
Speaker
For me, Italian people who have those ugly plastic covers on the couches, yeah usually Catholics and um or not. Yeah, Catholics. Not us prods. We didn't do that. Yeah. Yeah. Because I feel like Italians were super Catholic. Mexican were super Catholic. So I think it was a Catholic. of Latin descent is usually. Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. ah Because of the Pope.
00:53:36
Speaker
and um And I don't know. Do you think the Pope has plastic covers on his couch? No, I don't think he does. However, I'm not sure if this picture was real, but there was a picture of him walking in his traditional Pope attire, but with Nikes on, like with Jordans on.
00:53:51
Speaker
I love it. I love it. I mean, you can take the guy out of Chicago, but you can't take Chicago out of the guy, man. I know. I love this Pope. I think he's great for multiple reasons. This happened. heard this on the radio. Man, that sounded old. I heard this on the radio. heard this on the radio. heard this on the radio. And...
00:54:11
Speaker
There was this man talking and he showed me that I i should buy should buy um um some cream is what I was told. Yeah. Oh, man. Can you? Geez. I was just thinking of.
00:54:27
Speaker
Yeah. i wasroom tea And some tea. baguette. That's what I need to buy. the The Pope was apparently trying to, I know I'm getting the story kind of incorrect here, but the Pope was trying to do something with his bank.
00:54:43
Speaker
And so he's on the phone with the He trying to like change his address, I think it was. Yeah, yeah, his phone number, his address. They were like, you're not the fucking Pope, you're a liar. Yeah. Well, they said you have to come in person to do this. And he's like, yeah, I don't know if that's going to be possible.
00:54:57
Speaker
um And so he's like, I hate your president. I'm not going there. Sorry. Yeah. Yeah. And then ah he's like, would it help if I told you I was the pope? And I think they hung up on him, which I get Wells Fargo.
00:55:09
Speaker
I know. Hanging up on the pope over there. Yeah. yeah that is hope Well, I'll keep that marked when I pray tonight. I know, right? And JC, guess what Sheila did down at customer service? i tell yeah I would think that the Pope would have some kind of like, like people that work with him to handle all that shit. I don't know. I think it's weird that he had a call himself.
00:55:33
Speaker
I mean, who knows how true the story is, but like, yeah, you know, I mean, it's his personal account. You know, I don't think he wants that. maybe Maybe because you you know you you you do need to be the one to call. you know i don't know. yeah I don't know, but I do like this Pope. I do do like Pope Leo. i like ah yeah I like how forward-thinking he is. i like how he's kind of trying to bring the church to modern times. I think that's a good thing. I do like any Pope or any religious figure that's like, we're all people.
00:56:03
Speaker
Mm hmm. That's it. There's no other conversation. We're all right. and that's i Exactly. That's how it should be. um Oh, there's one topic I'm surprised we didn't talk about, but we're going to save it for the next episode. um Yeah, I actually like when that happens.
00:56:18
Speaker
Yeah, I'm going to hold. I'm going to. Well, I'll tell you right after. But in the meantime, ah we do do. you have it? Do you have one of those? What are those alcoholic drinks on you? What are those called? Beers?

Why would you be annoyed by that, Ron? you said That's so fucked up. Anyway, wow, it looks just like a plum. Yeah. No, I mean, that's good. They're not using artificial colors and stuff. It looks, it looks, actually, I like the artificial. This looks more like a cider or beer than anything else. That's true. I love the artificial colors. It makes me feel Take a smell, Robert.

Parody Content and Personal Reflections
01:00:23
Speaker
As for myself, everyone, um I will say, actually, I'm going to say something a little bit sad, not to end the episode sad, but um I recently went a little viral for doing parodies of a podcast called Necessary Conversation. You did. And um i heard this yesterday that the father is going through some health issues. Oh, no. So I think I might hold off on doing any more things.
01:00:50
Speaker
parodies at least for a while unless he gets better because there's something about like i don't know i beating someone down when they're actually going through shit uh and i i'm not beating them down it's a it's a like on it there's i agree there is a time and a place and maybe yeah taking a step back just so they can handle their things and right have some obnoxious tiktoker parading them so yeah i i agree And um just respect to them ah because I do play the father as well. So um but I have been loving doing other stuff on my social media, different sketches and whatnot. So I've been very much enjoying that. And I would love to go back to doing another parody. But I was like, I don't I don't know for right now, maybe in the future, depending on how things turn out.
01:01:33
Speaker
So I just want to say that um that's what's going on with me, everybody. In the meantime,
Upcoming Guest and Special Episode

Speaker
i also have some like. Yeah, that's really it. No, that was really it. I was go i think we're going to have our guest next episode, maybe next two episodes. I have a guest I want to bring on, and she's really anxious just to come on. She is a teacher or excuse me, a professor at a university, and she teaches Catholic studies.
01:01:56
Speaker
So want to bring her on is to get that religious fanatic going. i wonder if she ah covers her couches with plastic. No, she probably doesn't. But um I'm going to that's one of my questions. That'll be an interesting episode. She's very intelligent, very, very bright, knows a lot, knows her shit.
01:02:11
Speaker
That should be to talk about. um We might have a super special episode coming up. Don't know yet. Yeah, wait we're going to talk about it after this. I don't want to spoil it, but we might talk about it. That is going to be super special.
