Alicia wants to recruit me to work with Accenture.
00:00:15.680
Let me make sure that we've got everything we want working here.
00:00:36.640
All the lazy podcasters are sleeping in and watching me.
00:00:52.520
like to take a chance on elevating your experience up
00:00:56.400
to levels that nobody can even understand with their tiny,
00:01:02.760
All you need for that would be a cup or a mug or a glass, a tanker,
00:01:08.840
chalice, a steiner, canteen jug or a flask, a vessel of any kind.
00:01:13.440
I like coffee and join me now for the unparalleled pleasure.
00:01:17.280
The dopamine, the end of the day, the thing that makes everything better.
00:01:19.520
It's called the simultaneous sip, and it happens.
00:01:31.280
Oh, the lengths we go through for the perfect sip.
00:01:45.160
I'm no longer personally drawing the Dilbert comic strip
00:01:53.240
My left hand is semi-paralyzed with whatever cancer problem
00:02:05.240
But as of yesterday, Dilbert is being drawn by.
00:02:10.520
It's still written by me, so it's 100% written by me.
00:02:16.080
But my art director will be doing all of the drawing
00:02:40.600
coffee consumption lowers your risk of rotator cuff injury.
00:02:52.960
Now, is all of their medical advice just for Jeffrey Toobin or just this one?
00:03:06.400
What the, what the, oh my God, there's something on my desk.
00:03:19.000
The best thing you could ever have on your desk.
00:03:48.800
They're approximately one third sold out in November.
00:03:56.120
if your calendar is one third sold out at the first half of November,
00:04:02.560
there will be some question whether there'll be enough of them by mid December.
00:04:11.200
I love when Trump talks about his windmills and about climate change being a hoax.
00:04:20.280
how dumb the Democrats believed Trump was because he thought that climate change
00:04:31.260
but that one thing was really the most damaging thing outside of the,
00:04:47.680
but wouldn't that be a big deal if some other president said that climate
00:05:10.780
He's gotten to the point where he beat down the public and he wore people out
00:05:27.300
Our reality is our president thinks it's a hoax and he's got some evidence to
00:05:38.660
Cause I was on the sort of on the hoax page the whole time.
00:05:42.960
Although I don't think I used that word early on.
00:05:52.240
but do you remember when we used to use science to figure out what was true and
00:06:04.380
let's say climate change was a problem or not a problem,
00:06:09.000
what we would do is we would rely on science because the one thing we knew for
00:06:15.180
sure is that if you're trying to figure out what's real and what's not real,
00:06:32.740
Science became so discredited that the thought of using science to figure out
00:06:43.460
It doesn't just seem like sometimes it doesn't work.
00:06:46.960
Now it actually seems dumb because if you were to just do the math of how often
00:06:53.680
science is operating in the pursuit of taking your money and screwing you and giving somebody else power,
00:07:01.060
that's way more than the number of times science tells you the truth.
00:07:11.360
My subjective impression is that science is in 2025,
00:07:35.160
It's not even the right tool for figuring out reality.
00:07:54.140
I guess there are about 60 people in Congress that Cash might want to investigate.
00:08:03.680
will you recuse yourself from investigating the 60 individuals,
00:08:17.660
I'm starting to really like the Cash Patel fast answers.
00:08:32.340
does it seem weird to you that all of these people got caught with mortgage fraud?
00:08:43.760
What are the odds they would all be involved in a similar kind of mortgage fraud?
00:08:49.300
Is there some kind of class you take when you become a Democrat?
00:10:24.680
big names are now officially in the crosshairs.
00:11:11.740
It's more like other people are creating the drama,
00:11:16.340
Trump and Marjorie Taylor Greene and Thomas Massey and Tucker Carlson,
00:11:22.220
And I bring it up because Matt Gaetz had an interesting post today.
00:11:32.660
and even those I feel are too accommodating to the worst decisions made by
00:11:42.080
I won't be baited into attacking friends and leaders in our movement because
00:11:48.960
Not only do I completely agree with Matt Gaetz on his philosophy,
00:12:01.560
You can't tell me what to think when I talk to him.
00:12:20.220
So I would have said the same about MTG and Trump and Massey and Tucker,
00:12:25.980
You don't get to tell me if I can talk to Matt Gaetz.
00:12:40.460
but one of the Kennedy cousins Schlossberg is running for some office and
00:12:53.120
throwing RFK junior under the bus for what Schlossberg,
00:12:58.260
I think would consider some non-scientific opinions,
00:13:10.840
or was she writing about it for a post-millennial?
00:13:29.500
is he another one of these fighting back people?
00:13:37.620
you might go away with the impression that I'm a fighter.
00:13:45.820
anybody change their opinion based on how many times I use the word fight?
00:13:55.180
How many times do I have to say fight before you change your opinion of my opinion?
00:14:11.000
because of course you have to ask that question.
00:14:30.460
similar to my earlier conversation where I said that,
00:14:34.900
when Trump talks about windmills and climate change being a hoax,
00:14:49.180
it just sounds like that's an opinion and probably a correct one,
00:15:03.720
it used to be that if I saw a Democrat calling Trump a fascist,
00:15:13.560
maybe I need to point out all the ways in which he's not a fascist.
00:15:18.280
Maybe I need to dig into the definition of a fascist,
00:15:22.220
But now when I hear some new politician called Trump a fascist,
00:15:37.300
I don't think I need to introduce a new definition.
00:15:54.240
does anybody have that same feeling where you've gone from?
00:15:57.900
I must argue against this to why would you even argue that?
00:16:09.760
What's the second thing you're going to say about it?
00:16:14.760
What would be the second thing you would say about it?
00:16:36.240
but Adam Schiff was on some event where he was talking,
00:16:41.400
If you're following politics enough to know who Adam Schiff even is,
00:16:53.640
But this is a real thing that happened recently.
00:17:01.920
ruinous idea of making presidents unsuccessful because of politics.
00:17:26.120
Is because he's confident that people don't know what he said 10 minutes ago.
00:17:39.620
Is because he knows that nobody's going to look it up.
00:17:52.260
there's going to be a compilation clip of him doing whatever it is he says you
00:18:05.480
who is a really good account for you to follow,
00:18:21.700
So it's grown organically because it does a good job.
00:18:36.020
I sometimes refer to myself as the poor man's Scott Galloway.
00:19:01.120
45% of men have never asked a woman out in person.
00:19:12.600
Because if you're asking them out not in person,
00:19:28.740
Now, I get that someone who learns how to approach somebody
00:19:33.460
than someone who's afraid of approaching someone.
00:19:50.340
But certainly we're losing the ability to approach people.
00:19:55.340
Well, even that might make no difference in the long run.
00:20:52.080
you know, some romantic family kind of a thing.
