MJHost

3:16

You know, we are recording this on July 4th.

M

MJHost

3:20

And we're supposed to do it last weekend.

M

MJHost

3:22

I want to just tell you that you're taking this Trump impression way too seriously because, you know, we're supposed to do it last week and then you mysteriously disappear for the weekend without a trace and then you come back.

M

MJHost

3:34

So can we see the back of your hand, you know?

J

J-L CauvinGuest

3:38

Yeah, I was in Walter Reed Hospital for an unexpected visit.

J

J-L CauvinGuest

3:44

Way too seriously.

J

J-L CauvinGuest

3:46

Yeah, no, I'm method.

J

J-L CauvinGuest

J

J-L CauvinGuest

3:49

I have eaten like garbage ever since he became president.

J

J-L CauvinGuest

3:54

Like Dunkin' Donuts every day? Yeah, Dunkin' Donuts if I can't get to a McDonald's just to at least get roughly the same nutritional value.

J

J-L CauvinGuest

4:05

But yeah, it's... what was I going to say about you? Oh, about July 4th.

J

J-L CauvinGuest

4:10

I don't know.

J

J-L CauvinGuest

4:11

It'll come to me, but it's, uh, so strange this independence day, but, uh, it's, it's sad because it's, and I'm not the hundredth person or millionth person to say this, but it's, it is weird because part of me wants to be like, Hey, we're alive.

J

J-L CauvinGuest

4:25

Forget like being uber Patriot guy.

J

J-L CauvinGuest

4:28

It's cool to be like, Hey, this is like a milestone.

J-L CauvinGuest
