Welcome to the DTFH, my friends. I hope you're doing great out there. And I wanted to tell you guys about something new that's been happening with the DTFH. I've been doing a night stream. If you're interested, subscribe to the DTFH at YouTube and come join an ever-growing family, a community that loves to swim in the hot, frothy waters of my night stream. Now, today we have a guest. that has stirred up some controversy in the past. And I thought these days, especially with everything that's going on with the Epstein files and everything that's going on, the general social unrest and what it feels like a growing public mistrust and aversion towards the elites of the world, something today Donnie taught me is actually

a slur against the wealthy people. he prefers the term cool guys but however you want to put it i know a lot of folks out there are sort of wondering to themselves it can't be that the super wealthy of the world are actually like all eating people and all the other stuff we've seen in the epstein files surely there's some hope out there it can't be like that that's like a twilight zone episode and So I thought, you know what, why not have Donnie Rothschild, heir to the Rothschild fortune here on the DTFH to talk a little bit about what's really going on up there on Mount Olympus? Are they all sinister? Or do they really have a good heart?

And do they want the best, not just for themselves, but for all of humanity? So everyone, please welcome to the DTFH recent Grammy Award winner. Donnie Rothschild. Ah, Donnie, welcome back to the DTFH. It's good to see. You're looking good. Thanks for having me, Duncan. It's excited to be back, man.

Like, we had a, dude, a lot's been going on. I know. Like, you know, I got to tell you. You do have a kind of, like, just got a Grammy glow. Come on. Thank you very much. Dude, it was so cool getting to sit next to Adele, Cardi B. Like, just being around her, you know,

Adele kept on trying to eat my cheeseburger. I go, you're skinny now. You don't eat cheese. That's funny. We really like banter, you know. So you did banter with Adele? I mean her banter all the time. Oh my God.

She calls me a fat pig. I go, you used to be a fat pig, bitch. Remember where you came from. It's like, it's fun. Brother sister stuff. Yeah, we, she rolls her eyes. What a world you live in. It's a fun world, dude.

It's among the stars. We just have fun. Everything's cool. Everything's great. Did you go to any parties? You know, ever since Diddy got arrested the party. the party scene has kind of shut down. Oh, that sucks.

It's like we're kind of like just, he kind of threw the best parties. So it's like... I mean, minus the, you know. It might if, yeah, if that's your thing, you do that thing, I'm just saying, you shouldn't do the thing. I mean, it's a, I think,

I don't know exactly what was going on there. I'm pretty sure. Weren't they like putting GHB into massage ointment? Yeah. To get us, have you ever done like the Cupid Chuffle, Duncan? Like really good? No.

Well, get a little. CHP, put on your muscle. And then when it says like, to the left, it just lets your body, it just lets your body go. Yeah. It was, it's, I think it was a little overblown. Okay. So this is just probably another case of the lame stream media. Lame stream media with the parties were fun. They were just jealous. It's like a, you know, when the dorks made fun of the cool kids in high school. Yep. Like those parties aren't even that cool. Yeah. It's them. They're just jealous. Sour grapes. Sour grapes. Yeah. That's good to hear, man. Because I think, you know, right now a lot of people are kind of feeling this sense that like people like you, people, you know, and blessed to be born into the highest socioeconomic bracket in the world probably and also to have more wealth than anyone in human history.

Yeah. Whereas most people don't. I think, you know, with some of the stuff coming out, there's a growing animosity towards. where that your socioeconomic class resides. And my thing is like just try again your next life. Just pray really hard. Yeah. You believe in reincarnation. Yeah. Pray really.

The reason you're a poor piece of shit and you're born into a poor piece of shit family is probably because you did bad stuff. Those are heavy. That's a heavy. That's, I'm just sick and tired of people going, oh, you're rich. You're conflict. You were probably a bad guy in the last life.

You know, yeah. It's like, so you're one of those people who, You just kind of feel like everyone has an equal shot here. Exactly. But you, I mean, we're pals, and I'm not trying to put you in an odd situation, but just a little pushback. You were born a Rothschild. So you didn't, you were born with more wealth than most people will ever have in their lives,

even millionaires. Correct. But what's like, again, it's probably because I was like a really dope guy the last life. I was probably, I was probably, I was probably, I was probably like a crusader. I was probably like a, you know, a king, but like a just one. Healer. You know, where it's like, they're like, all with her head.

And I was like, give her another shot. She just stole a piece of bread. Come on, you know, I was probably like a really cool guy. Thumbs up instead of thumbs down. Yeah, I was a sick dude. Save the gladiator stuff. So that's my thing is anytime I see like a. But you think in a last life you were probably like royalty or you get the sense of?

I just feel, look at me. Like, I just feel like. You've been doing this like this for a while. That's why I kind of know I'm in like the groove. I know what I'm doing. I'm in the right circles because I just feel comfortable there. Well, I mean, look, we're all people. Like we all have the same wants, needs, and desires.

And just because you were born in a, you know, socioeconomic bracket that many people in the world say shouldn't even exist, doesn't mean you're a bad person. Correct. I agree. And also. And just because you're poor doesn't mean you're a bad person, but it just means. Hey, try hard in this life and maybe next life, you'll do something really cool. I think that's a message of hope. A lot of people could really attach themselves to it.

It's beautiful. And it's also harder to win a Grammy when you're rich. Yes. Now that brings us, thank you. Yeah. So this to me is something that, you know, obviously when you're where you're at, you can't really complain without seeming like completely ungrateful. But, you know, how often do you hear the word nepo baby?

How often do you get accused of like any success you have? Yeah. Is not because of some innate talent, but is because people want something from you or your family or they owe your family a favor. Like how often would you say that happens to you? The thing is not as much anymore because I literally... You want to talk about a real conspiracy or like a reverse conspiracy? Why isn't Amanita Muscaria illegal? It is a psychoactive mushroom that works on the GABA receptors produces an ethereal, beautiful, high.

That's my own subjective report. Maybe it'll work differently for you. And it's totally legal. You can find aminita muscaria at gas stations. Wouldn't advise it. I've tried gas station aminita muscaria. and it sucks. But the good news is

DTFH is supported by the beautiful mushroom alchemists at Amantara. You can get completely legal aminida muscaria in a variety of forms, capsules, chewable gummies from these wonderful people. I've had long conversations with them on the phone. Their heart is really in what they're doing.

They recognize that for some people, Aminita muscaria is, a way to get off the benzos. Now, they're not advising that necessarily, and obviously, if you're hooked on benzos, go see your doctor, because apparently the withdrawal can kill you, but they affect the same part of the brain, Amanita and Xanax, etc. So for me, it's incredible that there exists some bizarre fusion of psychedelic mushrooms and benzos. Again, that, That's not what they're calling them. That's what I'm calling them.

I don't want to get them suit or something. They're awesome. That's my main point. Fucking cool. If you actually want to know what aminita feels like, they recommend starting one to three of Amantara's 500 milligram aminita muscaria capsules. That's usually where people hit that dreamy, euphoric, relaxed state. And here's the honest part.

Don't discount Aminita if that doesn't take you there right away. Dowsage can vary person to person. Some people need four, four, five, even. six capsules to really dial it in. Start low, feel it out, and treat it with curiosity. But yeah, this is one of those things where you actually have to take enough to understand it. It's a, I don't know, it's hard to describe the high. It's like a euphoric, dreamy, soft buzz. It's wonderful. They also have many other plant medicines, including the incredible blue lotus. These are all legal. They're out there for you if you feel the call and you should definitely check them out at amantara.com

Like, hey, he doesn't do that shit anymore. Right. Because I'm, like, I'm an award winner now. Yeah. So he don't talk to me like that. Well, because it's not even true. It's not even true. I worked my ass off.

Yeah, you produce an incredible music video. I hired 14 of the best producers. Yeah. I hired 16. You exact EP. Yeah, I hired 16 of the best directors to make the music video. Yeah. You know, I put that all together.

Yep. And people say, oh, it's because you have money. No, it's because I have money. And I just have a cool vibe. Well, you wrote the lyrics to the song. I wrote the lyrics, yeah. Yeah. With 14 other guys.

Yeah. I was the main vibe guy. Well, you know, what's the saying? The hand that holds the brush is not always the painter. Exactly. You know, and a lot you hear this about a lot of, like, really great producers. Like, I've heard of great producers where the artist comes in and the producer takes a nap. Yeah.

And that's me. That's my. I go, I go, this is the vibe. Yeah. Get at it and it better be done by tomorrow or else. Steve Jobs. Steve Jobs. Look at that. Steve Jobs. Adolf Hitler,

all great producers. I never thought of Hilar as a producer. Hitler was like, he was like, yeah, hey, gerbils, do your thing. Get out there. Spread the word. I'm going to go. Yeah. Fuck, Aifa Brown in the Eagles nest real quick this weekend. And that's the kind of guy I am. Right.

Well, let's cut to your Let's cut to your Grammy, now Grammy Award winning music video that you premiered on the DTFH So that's a huge honor for me The podcast numbers have gone up substantially Since you won this Grammy Let's go ahead and roll it, Josh

Beautiful We got Hans Zimmer for this part Damn You can hear the bass I can hear it, yeah If you want to know The real name of the game No, we'll tell you plainly do, don't have to ask again.

Most of you are dumb, confused and delayed. And you tend to get violent when things don't go your way. So good. We've tried to teach you a bed. The religious imagery. Yeah, it's beautiful. That hand right there, that's Adele's hand we use. No shit.

Yep. I know. I thought I recognized it. Great message. Yep. Come on. Everybody can relate to that. Why?

Be a good father. Be a good mother. Dude, it's just a fun. It's a fun bob, dude. It's uplifting. It's uplifting. It reminds people like what's going on. Yeah.

Right. Yeah. Like, also stay in line. Yeah. Aw. Little robot kids. sleeping. The thing is, once we get the programming right, you can buy those robots one day.

Wow. Yeah, we're going to be selling those robots. Robot kids. Great. Wow. That is, you know what? Congratulations. I'm going to shake your hand, man.

You deserve it. You and you put a lot of hard work in with a great team. And I feel like the message good. It's like, hey, stay in lines. Because the thing is, I do not want to have to release the, the, the, the, the, The serum that makes people, you know. That's not real. Yeah, it's not real.

I mean, no. You're funny. Like, guys. Josh, it's not real. He's funny. He doesn't mean this. You know, I don't think, you know, with all due respect, I think some of you, some of you people, some of you elites, I don't think you. Can we just, instead of elite, I hate that word elite.

Sorry. It has such a negative, dude. And I love you, Duncan. I've always loved you. But it has such a negative. It's like, it's like hour and word. And I hate to, like, it's a slur.

The pain. You feel like it's a slur against the wealthy. I see that. What a friend like you calls me an elite, it's like I feel. I'm sorry. I feel like you just ripped off my shirt and you're just whipping me on the bat.

You're a friend. Yeah, so why don't you just, I'm sorry, don't you just say like, cool guys. Cool, okay, well, you cool guys don't see me. You cool guys don't seem to have the kind of situational awareness. I think that I would expect people to have. You know, when you say jokes like that, some kind of barely veiled threat that if people keep sort of pushing back against power structures, you're going to release a serum, people don't know you're joking and then they get nervous.

I'm not really a funny guy. I don't really joke. Your video and everything. That wasn't real. Those were like, that was like, I think, a real mess. That wasn't really a joke. Again, I feel like with the Epstein files out right now, is this really the time to be saying stuff like that?

I mean, you, of course, I looked up a lot of my friends in the files. I looked you up almost immediately. And there was 120, long, seemingly long emails from Epstein to you or you to Epstein that were almost 99% redacted, just all black, black, black, black, black, like, like. Dude, I get your... The only words that weren't blacked out were like pizza.

I get your like a white guy podcaster, and you don't really probably have much to talk about. But like, do we have to do this like Epstein thing? Like, isn't it kind of like old news? It's kind of hack at this point. Really? Like, if you think about it, talking about Epstein, it's kind of hack. Like, that's like if you're still doing like a Tiger King joke.

They just had hearing, they're having hearing. Where they're still doing that? Yeah. Yeah, you didn't see the Pambondi thing where the survivors were there? She didn't look at it. I don't like keep up. Dude, after he like died. Because like, yeah, we talked.

You were clearly, it's 100 emails. Yeah, we talked. About what? Like you said pizza. I'm a big, I like pizza. A hundred pizza emails? Yeah, we order pizza together. I got hungry in this.

Who orders pizza together via email? How does that work? Why not just text? Emails easier. These are long. I don't know how long you have to explain your pizza already. These are like missives. You've never been hanging out with a friend.

Hey, do you want to get pizza? Sure. Of course. Should we get breadsticks? Oh, man. I'm actually trying to watch out how much bread I'm eating. Oh, should we get anchovies? I'm not a big inchot. What about pineapples? What about pineapples? You know, it's the back and forth. Actually, I don't really like pineapple.

or let's get two stuff cross and one regular. So it was just that kind of conversation. It's just a lot of... Why would they black it out? Because honestly, no one... No one needs to fucking know what I like on my pizza. That's my business. I get it.

It's an invasion of privacy. It's an invasion of privacy. And it's like, shut the fuck. Like, it's my thing. It's your right. With a buddy who died, like, are we really talking ill will of a guy that passed away? Like, that's on...

Like, is that how sick... It was not my intent. It's kind of sick that... It wasn't my intent. I just, listen, I'm trying to keep. The guy died and we're just yapping about him. I'm still around. I'm sorry for your loss.

Like, honestly, I kind of, it's, like, I don't want to talk about him, James Vanderbeek, like, just guys that have died. Like, it's, right. Let's be a Christian nation for once and just forget about it. Yeah. I didn't realize Christianity was your thing. I love it. Yeah. Christianity's cool.

What's your favorite thing about it? The control. This episode. of the DTFH has been supported by my friends at Factor, and I do mean my friends. You see, pals, my wife just squeezed out another beautiful trussle into this world. And let me tell you, it was a lifesaver having factor meals in the fridge that I could throw in the microwave and make for her or make for me. Now, don't get me wrong. I'm not, I wasn't just bring your Factor meals. I was making my own meals for her, but honestly, the Factor meals are better than my

meals. They're delicious. It's perfect. You get like the perfect level of full. And when I first started working with Factor and they sent them to me, I was highly skeptical, as you might be, because you've had garbage microwave food. And you're thinking of the thing you experience when you like throw a frozen burrito in the microwave and the middle part of it is like tundra and just frozen chunks of meat wrapped around by two hot cheese so that that is not factor these are all chef prepared delicious non-frozen meals and they're freaking good it's not like you know a lot of times when you're microwaving food you're kind of bummed you're like i'm going to hurt Hurry, fuck it.

You know, why not just throw some hyper-processed garbage into the microwave and just eat like I'm so kind of corpo pig? Because that's all that matters is just sustenance. This is the opposite of that. These are delicious meals. These are meals that feel like you're at a restaurant. If you have a negative view of microwave meals, apparently I do, this is going to completely blow your mind. It's so good. And sometimes you just don't have time to make a really healthy meal for yourself.

That's the other thing about Factor. These are healthy meals. These are meals where you don't feel like a vampire just shoved his fist in one of your orifices. After eating these meals, you feel rejuvenated and good and your body's happy. Factor, I love you. Head to Factor Meals. slash Duncan 50 off and use code Duncan 50 off to get 50% off and free breakfast for a year. That's insane.

The gold. I love the gold. The gold stuff. The statues. The big venues. I'm trying to open up a nightclub in the Vatican. Wow. In the basement.

It's going to be like a very 150 people where all the tombs are with the fallen popes and stuff. That's interesting. I know that the, I guess I've heard maybe the Catholic Church is getting, you know, slightly more liberal. But it seems like they're, how are they going to let you open up like an actual, like with alcohol sales? Oh, we're going to have the first open Mali market in the... Because it's the Vatican, and it's different... In a religious... Different laws.

It's their own city, so they kind of run what... So we're going to be selling Mali. We're going to have cocaine Wednesdays where you get a free line on your way in. We're going to have, you know, paintbrush Tuesdays, where you get to do LSD and then paint over... Fun. And the Vatican is totally cool with that. They're just like, sure, Donnie. Go ahead.

Well, because we know stuff. We kind of know stuff. About the Bible and stuff? Just about the people inside that church and they don't really want certain stuff out. So you're blackmailing the Vatican? Blackmailing, having a conversation, whatever you would like to say. You think blackmail is a word being overused these days because of the Epstein list? Because it does appear in some of those emails that he was like overtly blackmailing people.

And again, I think blackmail just seems so, it's like when you say elite, it's too. I'm sorry. It's like not, it's like, it's, it's mean-spirited. Right. I like to say, if you don't give me what you, what I want, I'm going to ruin you. And that's like just more straightforward. And, you know, these are bad people we're doing this too. You know?

Right. I know one priest that like. So it's just justice is what you're saying. I think it's good for people to hear this stuff. Again, like, as a cool guy right now. Thank you. the cool guy, you are, I would say the best way to describe it is reviled by the masses at this point. I would say that, like, in my life, you know, I've seen different moods towards cool guys.

And, you know, there was a time, like, in the 80s where you wanted to be a cool guy. And then there was, like, a time where, you know, that cooled down a little bit. But, you know, it was still okay to be a cool guy. And then lately, it feels like there's a growing sense that you can't become a cool guy unless you're born as a cool guy. But the thing is, I think most people aren't focusing on how do I become a cool guy. They're just focusing on what are the cool guys up to? Like, try to become a cool guy. But it seems, you know, just sort of based on like the growing disparity between cool guys and not cool guys.

It used to be there was like sort of a cool guy, the middle class, or about to be a cool guy. But that seems like that's going away. Like there used to be sick dudes. Yeah. There used to be sick dudes and then cool guys. So yeah, sick dudes. Sick dudes are gone or kind of gone, yeah. The sick dudes.

So now it's just cool guys and then everybody else. And there's not many cool guys and a lot of everybody else. And, you know, when that seems to be potentially a security risk, would you say? Do you really want a room full of cool guys? Because then it's less cool. The thing is, it's like... Like if everybody was a cool guy. If everybody was a cool guy.

If everybody... There'd be no cool guys. Right. You know? I see what you're saying. So like if every... In other words, like let's say like... Like for instance, if everybody had an Epstein's Island,

Epstein's Island wouldn't have been that special. Well, I mean, just as a thought experiment, let's imagine that we had an advanced artificial intelligence capable of in a equitable way redistributing the imbalanced wealth in the country throughout the global population, then I think just based on just what I know about how much money cool guys seem to have that pretty much everyone on the planet would have everything that they needed. You know what I mean? So you're saying if that happened, then there would be no more cool guys. Also, there would be no more cool guys.

And then everybody else would have an easy life. Is that a fun world to be in? Where everybody's smiling. Right. Everybody's like, you know, you're sick and you can like just take two weeks off. I kind of want to know that my barista is going to be there. Whether she, you know, has the flu, whether she's mom's past, like she knows how to make my coffee right. I don't want, oh, I'm going to go hang out with my dad.

daughter, you know, I'm going to take her to Disneyland. Like, I don't want some schmuck coming in, ruining my coffee. So I think, right. I love those people. So that's probably, that's like a real problem for cool guys is that sometimes the not cool guys don't want to go to work and the cool guys want to go to, like, get a coffee and they're the not cool guys. I mean, I think that's called a strike when the not cool guys decided to not go to work.

Yeah, it's just like, we like you. That's why we're like. I get it, you're not a cool guy and it's not like you're lame but you're just not cool but we like having you there you help us out you make our lives serve you serve you

help I like to say help serve seems a little they help the cool guy they help the cool guy you're our little partner you're a little that's okay that's a best yeah see but I feel like these are the kinds

of messages that the cool guys need to be getting out into the world that's why I make music you guys are our little partners or these kinds of things I think you know would make people feel better than you know the the some of the stuff that we're sort of seeing which seems to be not like you're our little partners but more like you're our little fleshlights like you're just something we fuck and dispose of or exploit to some degree that that's kind of the sense a lot of people are getting the thing is my driver got mad at me a while back because I used to for like 20 years I called

you're my Santa's little helper and he just kept saying I'm 76 please call me Rick that's my name and I go all right Santa's a little helper because this seems to great it's a little condescending no but it's like it's I'm Santa and you're helping me out like I'm the big guy I'm the boss right I'm the and you're helping me without you we're I'm gonna drive who is Santa without the elves exactly you're a little you're a little worker bee and as Santa I love you the thing is what we tell that story to our children yeah Santa's the mom man and he has like these little not little elves no what makes hey is there a movie called you know little elves no there's santa claus one Santa Claus 2 yeah Santa Claus 3 all movies are about

Santa the big guy right that's who we are he's kind of like the the Andy war all of Christmas he's surrounded by other artists that no one will ever hear about but like also arguably I don't mean lifting some of their talent for his own exactly did and that's the message I'm just trying to say, just because you're not a cool guy, doesn't mean you don't have purpose. We need you and we love you. Right. But it's just like when you guys come after us, it's really making it hard to really like you guys anymore. So yeah, it's kind of like, you're making us want to pick you up, put your head in the toilet, and give you a swirly. Like it's as a cool guy would. I do. You know, because you're a cool guy and you come from a family of cool guys.

I am really curious about what your thoughts are about the recent innovations that have been happening in artificial intelligence. I'm sure you're aware that in the last like a week or so, OpenAI released a new model of GPT. Anthropic released another version of Claude, Claude Opus, something. And weirdly, during those, the last few days. people have started resigning from those companies and posting sort of ominous seeming resignation letters and cryptic resignation letters that seem to point towards an impending future where there aren't really any more jobs for anyone. And I'm kind of interested in your take as a cool guy on what happens to all those people

who don't have jobs anymore and what happens to the economy. Would you... The Wall Street Journal is going to be pissed about this. But I like you, and I really appreciate you. I like you, especially you changing the terminology. You, like, learn fast. Yeah. And that's why you are my favorite, like, you know, little helper.

That's why you're one of my favorite little helper is Duncan. I love flapping cool guys. Thank you. And so I guess, Josh, I see you an email. Let's show them. I'm actually working on a project. It is a new... It's a new world, honestly.

For guys like you who feel like they're struggling and, you know, they want more fulfillment in their life. And it's called Donnie's World. I feel pretty good. I love my family. So what are we looking at here? I'm seeing like a, I don't know, there's a guy. It looks like a hospital. He's in a pod of sorts.

So what's this? So this is how we're going to get you into Donnie's world. Donnie's world. Yeah. It's like a fun new place, a new virtual hangout. Like a video game. Video, I wouldn't say game. It's not a game.

So what have, we're not playing games here. This is like, this is the new reality. So this is like VR, you go in this, it projects you into some kind of world or something? No, no, no. So we sit you in there and we take out all your, like, your vital fluids and like your brain. We turn it into mush and it starts coming out of your body. And then we, we put it in these little capsules. And with this, we can put you into Donnie's world.

So you're going to be... So you're saying you... What about the body? What about you... What? We, you know, we use... We'll use the body. So a lot of the fluid will be used for medical advances to help, like, people live longer.

But what about if you want... You're just... You're saying... It sounds like what you're talking about some kind of consciousness upload. Correct. But we're like, yeah, but we're getting rid of your body. We're going to be... retooling your body because there are some there are some cool guys that they're getting up there

and they're getting really sick and I think we could all agree we don't want more cool guys to pass because like you like you even said there's not many of us right there's only a couple of us everybody else almost like you're like you could almost like there's probably more endangered tigers than there are cool guys yeah we are an endangered species how does this work like so we're so we're to start out picking, I think, people that are struggling the most. I think we're going to, like people on welfare, the homeless, we're going to start

taking them because their life here on this world isn't going to be. It's brutal. It sucks to see. So what we're doing is this episode of the DTFH has been supported by Better Help. You know, the credits roll in a romance movie.

The couple just got married. The quirky couple, they just got married. Doves are flying all around. And then the credits roll. And I always wonder, like, what's the next year going to be like for them? Once the, whatever, the joy and the high of the fact that they survived some kind of alien attack and then got married wears off. And now they're just living in the house together. What happens then to them?

It's February, all right? I guess I'm feeling romantic. Valentine's Day. It's right around the corner. and maybe you're making the tragic mistake of going to Instagram Reels and watching that almost profane practice some couples have of posting seemingly utopian moments together, giving the impression that they live in some kind of Garden of Eden-style relationship and any problems you might be experiencing in your particular relationships,

whether you're married or dating or whatever is an aberration when in fact I would say it's usually what it's like people living together people trying trying to make two people work together it's like harmonizing different universes it takes time it takes dedication and boy do i wish i'd got into therapy sooner. I'm telling you, maybe Freud, young, and all of them weren't just blowing smoke bubbles. Maybe some of that stuff is real. And, you know, you might not even know that you're doing certain things that are very easy to do. For example, there might be an argument that you didn't finish with your mom. And now you're trying to have it with your partner. That happens where you are no longer even in an argument with your wife, you're arguing with a version of your mom from the

80s. That can happen. That's why therapy is an incredible Valentine's Day gift to give yourself. Because once you start lifting up the carpet of memory and finding all the weird things that ended up getting stuck down there, once you start flossing the teeth of your subconscious and releasing some of those festering chunks of unprocessed memory, you will be amazed to see what happens with your relationships. I'm not saying everything gets perfect, but wow, things can get way better. Better help therapists work according to a strict code of conduct and are fully licensed in the U.S.

And I want to give you the exclusive. Exclusive on the DTFH. Here we go. Ready.

Let's go! Look how excited it is. So... Fun little process. When a screen comes off. Yep. And then... And that's...

That's the stuff you were talking, the plasma. That's the plasma, all the goo. And look at him now. I said, I want to go back into my body. Wow. Everything's better in Donny world. Look how happy. Can you pause it, Josh?

Yeah. Just to be clear, so this, you're saying that that guy, uh-huh, who just, I guess, got liquefied, for lack of a better word, his consciousness is now in this sort of mind. Minecrafty place. So that was my old college roommate, Stephen, and his life was just falling apart, you know. I had a dead-end job.

You know, he had a wife and kids or whatever, but, like, they were just lame. Like, his wife would get mad when we'd go out, you know? Yeah. And so I was like, I was like, Steve, do you want to just be, like, free? Do you want to do whatever you want? Yeah.

Do you want to be the king of your own universe? So he signed up first, and look what he has. Is a castle? Is that his castle? That's his castle? It's his castle. He can invite whoever he wants. He makes the rules of that castle. He thought his home was a castle. That's actually a castle. Can he feel? You can feel? You can feel? You can do whatever. There are no laws in his castle. He can do, you know, he loved the ditty parties. So Stevie loved going to the ditty parties. So he's basically recreating that in that castle. Can you keep playing it, I guess, Josh? Wow. This is crazy technology. Yeah. Look how happy he is. Yeah.

Waterfalls. You can only smile in Donny World. Ain't no frowns on me. I'm so happy in Donny World because in Donny World I'm free. Do you have to pay rent? Heck no. Do you ever get sick? Heck no.

Do you remember your past? Heck no. Because the presence's all there is to know. Home is where the heart is. It's not where you're not free. So why not move to Donny World and be. who you were meant to be. I'm moving to Donny World.

Can I pause real quick? John, pause real quick. Also, can you go back a few frames where we see everybody just hanging out? This is another thing I think people should be excited about. So those are all people who have their bodies liquefied

on the bridge? And look how happy they are. So that's why we're saying, sign up quick, you could be that happy. These are the elite of Donnie's world right now. These are the cool guys of Donnie's world. And the cool thing, and this is why

we should not be getting hate for this is everybody looks the same right in donnie's world well it's like the smiley face emoji yeah but everybody's the same we're here in this world in this can i be honest disgusting world we deal with racism we deal with you know uh sexism we deal with homophobic here everybody's the same yeah they don't even seem like they have like unless you wait gender unless you wait so to sign up for donnie's world the longer you wait the darker the yellow gets And you don't want to be a dark yellow. So what?

You don't want to be a dark yellow in Donnie's world. Do you guys? I'm sorry, I'm just getting emotional. Yeah, me too. Just seeing my little guys. I never thought this kind of tech would exist. My little guys, look at them. They're thriving, man.

They're so happy. So do you guys, do you think cool guys are eventually going to dissolve their bodies and go into Donnie's world too? No, that's for them. I don't want to, that's, I want, that's for guys like that. That's for that. Because I don't want, because I'm going to go in there and I've experienced it. I'm experiencing it here. Right. So let me just have this world. Yeah. You guys enjoy that. So you, but you're, I'm kind of being nice. I'm being sweet. I mean, it's, before we keep playing, like, it does kind of seem like, not to oversimplify it, but it does kind of seem like the cool guys have decided to, invite poor people to liquefy their bodies into some kind of plasma to keep rich people alive

while they go into this sort of Minecraft world. See, the thing is, it might sound like that. It seems like it's exactly what it is. Fair, but the thing is, I feel like, again, this is you as a podcaster, I get it. You know, you're a comedian podcaster. You're trying to get clicks. I don't think I'm trying to get clicks. I think it's clearly like you

it seems like cool guys want to liquefy poor people. Again, it's negative to Duncan. I don't mean to me negative. No, this is the one thing about you. I love you to death. I really do. But it's the same thing when you called me an elite. You go back to these non-cool guy tendencies

of using harsh words, bullying. You're misconstruing what I'm doing. What I'm doing here is we take your body, we liquefy it, we help our fellow cool guys get healthier, live longer, and you get a good fucking life. That's what it is. Why don't you just say,

hey, if your life is shitty, you can have a cool life too. That's what it is. Why are you bringing up the goo? I get it. Just say, holy shit, this is duh.

Well, I get it because you do your... Listen, this is what I love about being your little helper is that you do have a way of, like, you know, pointing out biases I wasn't aware of. And I guess, you know, to argue for this, you know, we are looking at, you know, probably over what, 60% unemployment within the next year. Yeah. The complete collapse of society. And when that happens, do you really want to be in that kind of world? No. When, you know, a lot of people can't afford health insurance. And so I'm assuming.

assuming these little emojis don't get sick in there they don't get no one gets sick everybody's hanging out everybody's having fun the cool and the thing is and i don't want to say this to you because i like i said i love you thank you but like stevie the guy in the video you saw started talking like that hey man like right why you guys have so much power why can't you like maybe help out the people well yeah he started talking like that hey man like my you know my wife is sick could you help me maybe like with some of her medical he he just wanted and he was greedy and so that's why I put him I convinced him sign up for this program the thing is Duncan I like how you are now and I want you to be around here I like coming on the show you help promote my music

you help promote my projects so I'm just saying if you keep acting up I might I might have to put you in Donnie's world if you keep because it's like and I don't want to do that to you or your children because I like having you or my children or your I like having you guys you know it does But, you know, I don't want to be negative and I don't want to upset you or any of the other cool guys. So just watch your words. Okay.

Let's keep rolling this thing. You're the fucking devil. I don't know why you have him on this podcast. He's the fucking devil. Shut the fuck up. Shut the fuck up. Just shut up. All right.

I don't speak Spanish. Sorry. Yeah. He's, it's... I didn't. I didn't understand. I'm sorry. Josh is...

It's cool that you're... Josh is getting off Lexapro. Um, let's... Are you fucking serious? Just play the thing, Josh. Where you're not free. So why not move to Donny World and be who you were meant to be?

Donny World. I'm moving to Donny World. Catchy. Leave my body at the door. Let's move to Doni World. We have birds, bluebirds. Wow. You can have red birds, brown bird, blackbirds, whatever you want.

People are fine. That's cool as hell. What was that at the end that they all did? They made like a pentagram star. No, it was cool. That was just, that's the symbol. That's our symbol of Donny World. That is your God.

That is your temple. That is who you pray to in Donny World. Well, Donny, I want to thank you so much for coming on the show and apologize for Josh's belligerence. It's fine. Josh actually, actually. Don't do anything to him. Please don't do anything. After this episode, let's talk. No, don't talk to him.
