What are the hosts' opening updates and upcoming tour dates?
What's up? What's up, everybody? Welcome to a brand new episode of Part of the Problem. I'm Dave Smith. He's Robbie the Fire Bernstein. How are you today, sir?
I'm doing well, man. Having fun out on the porches. Getting my reps in.
Very good. Very good. What's the next stop for you?
I've got Walpole, Massachusetts, Newton, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and then upcoming weekends in Madison, Wisconsin, Philly, PA, Doylestown, and Myersville.
So all over the place. Forgetour.com. Forgetour.com. And then me and you, great time down there in Fort Lauderdale getting some sun. That was a lot of fun. I got to say, that Fort Lauderdale Improv Club, beautiful, beautiful club and a great room, a great room for comedy. If you're in that area, go check that out. Jeez, what is our next thing, Rob? I think it's Appleton.
We're out in Wisconsin.
I love that room. Appleton, Wisconsin. Great, great room. We had a great time there. August 13th through 15th, Skyline Comedy Club. Me and Rob will be out there. Then I got the Comedy Mothership. We got Louville, Fort Worth, Dallas, a lot of stuff coming up. ComicDaveSmith.com for all those ticket links. All right. By the way, I know it seems as if I'm broadcasting from a place absent of time and space or something. Where I am, the Iran war hasn't started yet, and also it's always been going on. I'm in John Rawls' veil of ignorance right now, just deciding. Anyway, there's a few things that I really wanted to talk about today. Once again, Rob, we're in this cycle where like, I guess the first thing we have to talk about is the war.
I don't know what to say, man. This is unlike anything else I've ever covered. It's just unlike anything else. It's almost like we have to keep talking about it because it's the most important thing. And honestly, like, nuclear, the worst-case scenarios of global economic depression or nuclear exchange or World War III, however remote all three of those might be, I certainly don't think the latter two are likely or anywhere close to likely. I think the economic depression of the global economy is the scariest, most realistic, I should say, not scariest. Scariest because it's most likely. But when all of that is on the line, you kind of have to talk about it all the time. But my God, at the end of this, all you can say is that everybody who's a skeptic of this has been completely proven right.
I mean, everybody who supported the 12-day war and the whole goddamn hawkishness toward Iran for the whole last year plus have just been absolutely proven to be the goddamn biggest morons on the face of the planet. And we're in the same cycle for the goddamn 15th time. I don't know how you're actually watching at this point. I feel like even like the people who supported this war are rolling their eyes at how you're seriously telling me. Am I seriously here to bring you the news that yesterday Donald Trump threatened mass acts of terror against the Iranian people? And then, Rob, you wouldn't believe it. He taco'd. And now he's promising that there are negotiations. Rob, statement from the foreign minister of Iran today, we're not negotiating.
But Donald Trump says we're very close to a deal. What can you even say about this, Rob? What are we doing? I think the point at this point is just to push us to the verge of insanity. And then at least the critics of the war are taken out.
Yep. I think it's maybe the sixth or seventh time Donald Trump has played this exact scheme where he says, hey, we're going for it. We're taking out their their power plants and then goes, nope, it deals on the table. So I don't have to do it. The one thing that's on the table that's a little bit different this time is Saudi Arabia apparently called him up and said, you can't do this. Apparently, you know, we're. bailing out Japan because they were about to sell a bunch of treasuries to try and boost their own currency. And I heard it on, I only watched a little bit of it, but there was a bit of a conspiracy brewing on Mario Nawa Falls show, who's a great Twitter follow for the war that essentially- Great, excellent.
