you didn't even know were possible, well all you need is a cup or a mug or a glass, a chalice, a stein, a canteen, a yoga flask, a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. Join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine hit of t

Well thank the gods of news who have delivered upon us a bounty. It's a bounty of funny news and interesting news. I don't want to be a spoiler but it doesn't look like we're gonna have World War III. We'll get to that. If you're worried about World War III, probably not. That's the spoiler. All right, let's talk about other things though. I've developed the best insult for the year 2023.
The best insult. I've been testing it. I told you I was going to test it and now I have an outcome. Absolutely nobody likes to hear this: "Bob, you believe in the news." So if you really want to insult somebody you go, "Bob, you believe in the news." Now I would recommend that you only use this if somebody's name is Bob. I don't really have anything that would work with other names but this would work really well if your name is Bob. "Bob, you believe in the news." And just walk away. There's nobody who can respond to that. You have to try it out the next time you're debating about something in the news, political. Just look at the person and say, "So Bob, you believe the news?" And then Bob will say something like, "Well you know I do my own research and I look at multiple sites and I talk to people." And then you just look at him and say, "But in the end you believe the news." That's it. That's the whole technique right there.
Well it looks like actors and writers are going on strike, Hollywood actors and writers, first time since 1960. And so we will not be gifted with the greatness of their products. So you know maybe they won't be making more movies right away and I can't tell you how different my life would be if I didn't occasionally have to sit through three hours of what I imagined was going to be good but I was fooled again. I think the world would be worse without movies. I mean I realize this is heretical but I don't think we need them. Don't think we need them. I said the same thing about all the species that were becoming extinct. Think about your past week. Out of the past week, do you remember that time this past week when you said everything would be good except for the dodo was extinct because I was g

oing to have dodo barbecue and there's no dodos so my life is ruined because of the animals that have gone extinct? Now I'm not in favor of animals going extinct. If you could stop it that'd be great. But I just want to point out you have not missed any animals. There's not a single animal that you've said to yourself, "If only those specific animals were still here." You know that bird with the f…
