Chapter 1: What is discussed at the start of this section?
The Joe Rogan Experience.
Showing by day, Joe Rogan Podcast by night, all day. Do you have a new phone? What year is that one?
This one is like one of the rehabbed ones.
Those are still good, though. Which number is it? 13, I think. Oh, those are still good. I have an 11 that's still good.
Yeah.
I keep an 11 for one of my numbers.
Okay.
One of my bullshit numbers.
For what?

Chapter 2: Why do people use secondary phone numbers?
Somebody who has a business idea.
No, I mean.
They think I'm going to help them sell skateboards.
If someone's like, hey, let's get coffee. It's been too long. I'm like, nope. Not doing it.
That's hilarious.
I had a friend from high school reach out randomly. Hey, Bridge. Nope. I see it. I see it from a mile away now. I'm like, what is it like to be you?
Oh.
It's odd.
Because I'm just like, you know, like an outer asteroid in the universe. But imagine being like the planet itself.

Chapter 3: How do relationships become transactional?
I've managed to stay myself, which is shocking. Yeah, you have. But I have really good friends. You know, my friends are really good friends.
And I think you have friends who take the piss out of you.
Yes. And they've been my friends for 20, 30 years.
Yeah.
Like Joey and I have been friends for almost 30 years.
Yeah.
27 years or 28 years. It might be 30 now. Fuck. I might have met him in 94.
It helps to have, like, I was asking my husband right before I left about a tweet I was going to send out, and he's like, meh. And I was like, is this too much? And then I was like, fine. He's like, oh, what, do you just want me to, like, clap for you? I was like, I'm so glad you're my husband.
Yeah, you definitely need someone who's not impressed.

Chapter 4: What is the impact of friendships on personal growth?
It's great.
That's really funny. It's very similar to mine. What I said, I write jokes for haters. Yeah. You got to look at it like a hater sometimes. Yeah. Because you can get too in love with your stuff. Yeah. It's too easy. It's too easy to get in love with your stuff.
The audience will tell you to.
Well, that's the difference between comedy and other things. Yeah. It's hard if you're just a journalist. You know, you're just writing. You kind of believe your opinion makes sense. And all of them are doing the same thing. Like almost all of them, except for the independent ones. They're almost all doing the same things.
They're saying they're expressing their thoughts to a very particular group of people. And they're also lying about another group of people almost always.
Yeah.
The right does it and the left does it.
Yeah. It's all fan fiction.
Yeah, it is fan fiction. Like the right does it with liberals because liberals aren't Antifa. Liberals aren't the people that are lighting Starbucks on fire and shooting cops. That's not liberals. That is just a thing that has existed in a team where you allow anyone to join a team.

Chapter 5: What chaotic tweet about Trump is mentioned?
People were thinking that, I mean, didn't that one lady tweet that she thought that Trump only got shot in the head so he doesn't go to jail?
Wait. Oh, so it was him.
She was trying to. I'll tell you right in a second after I sent that thing to Jamie. This is. I mean.
The world's gone bananas. I get kind of turned on by all the chaos because I come from it. Like I do. I'm like, please stop. I'm going to start masturbating to Twitter. It's too much. It's just too hot. It.
It's so crazy. It's just like every day it's crazier. Okay, who it is? Gail Helt. She said, so it says, this is like Aaron Rupert said, Nancy Mace apparently said this.

Chapter 6: How does the discussion shift towards political commentary?
I guess it was on one of those news channels. Donald Trump literally took a bullet for our country. And this lady posts, no, he didn't. He was hit with a bullet because he's desperate to stay out of prison. Now, supposedly these are deleted tweets. So this might be bullshit.
So we have to find out that because the Russians are always trying to keep us at each other's throats, ladies and gentlemen. And then there's the 4chan trolls. So that might not even be a real tweet. So let's find out if that's a real tweet. Because otherwise I'm going to make you cut that out so we don't get sued. Who is Gail Haight, first of all? Helt. Gail Helt. H-E-L-T.
Why would you get sued?
Chapter 7: What are the implications of AI in the current political landscape?
By who? People sue you if you read a fake tweet.
With their name on it?
What Twitter account should I look up? The Twitter account. Hold on. Sorry.
This is amazing.
I know. Hilarious. No. It's G-H-E-L-T.
But it feels like the Trump thing's already out of the news cycle.
Oh, yeah. What's the big deal? You just got shot in the head.
No press conference?
Nothing. Did she get rid of her account? That's the lady. Yeah. So that's the claim.

Chapter 8: How is the comedy scene in Austin described?
Yeah, it looks like they didn't even really try.
Wow. But he's going to speak soon, allegedly.
That guy in the fucking makeup is going to speak. That 40-year-old guy with them 40-year-old hands. That guy had young man hands. He didn't have dead man hands. He's dead? I don't know, but here's the thing. If you have a letter like that, okay, and this is how he resigns. He resigns or says he's not going to run again with a letter.
The letter does not have a presidential seal on it, and the letter has a digital signature on it, right? That's what it was, right? Okay, maybe. But before that, before he got COVID, didn't he say that he wasn't going to quit? He did, right?
Yeah.
So they killed him.
Well, there's been a lot of weird stuff. We haven't seen him since then, right? And then he gets COVID. And then all of a sudden he says he can't. And they also said that they gave him 10 doses of Paxlovid. Is that true? Google that. Because I read that and that might be some Russian troll shit. Because they might be saying, like they're waiting for doctors to go, that would kill him.
Why do you give him 10 doses? That's fucking insane.
They're like, well, we couldn't kill Trump, so now we've got to kill Biden. He might have been exposing a glitch where every few times that app says that anything was created by it.
