Transcript

[Duncan Trussell]

Welcome to the DTFH, friends. My DMs have been blowing up with lots of people asking me my thoughts on the assassination of the insurance CEO, whose name I can't remember. What's his name, Josh? The insurance. I should know that.

[Donnie Rothschild]

It's Thompson. Brian Thompson.

[Duncan Trussell]

Okay, welcome to the DTFH, folks. Lately, my DMs have been blowing up with lots of people wondering my thoughts on what happened to Brian Thompson. The murder of Brian Thompson, and I don't know what I think. And this is why I love the news, because it sort of helps me align with what I should be thinking and doing. And unfortunately, the Internet has been out of my house. I haven't really been had access to the news. So, yeah, I don't know what to think or what to do. I've been quite confused. And just as it often happens in this beautiful magical universe, synchronicity showed its beautiful face to me. And I got a handwritten letter and beautiful calligraphy from former guest Donnie Rothschild, heir to the Rothschild fortune. He said, I'm gonna be in Austin and I'd love to talk with you about some of the stuff I've been doing, as well as my thoughts on the murder of the insurance CEO, Brian. And so with us today, we have Donnie Rothschild. I can't tell you how many times a week people request that he returns to the show. Before we jump into this episode, I want to play this incredible music video from an album he released a few months ago. The song is if youf Want to Know.

[Musical Artist]

If you want to know the real name of the game. No, we'll tell you plainly. You 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. We've tried to teach you a better way to be. But when we send our teachers, you nail them up on trees. So now we must subdue you. Keep your population down. Because if we let you run amok, all of us will drown. Sleep, sleep, just go back to sleep. You want to give the love and nothing you can keep. So go about your daily life. Be a good husband, be a good wife. Be a good husband. Be a good wife. Be a good father, Be a good mom. Please don't make us use the form. The form, it will reset things and maybe that's okay. We're giving you one more chance before we wash away all of you peasants will place you machine. So take this chance for what it is. Go to sleep and have good dreams. Oh yeah. Have good dreams oh, yeah Time to dream Hush, little babies it's time to dream.

[Duncan Trussell]

Wow. Donnie, welcome back to the show.

[Donnie Rothschild]

Thank you for having me, Duncan.

[Duncan Trussell]

It's good to see you, brother.

[Donnie Rothschild]

Good to see you, man.

[Duncan Trussell]

Wow. So, you know, when you came on the show, first of all, I love that song.

[Donnie Rothschild]

Thank you.

[Duncan Trussell]

I mean, my kids love it, man. They're always in the car. We play with the babies crying and the baby calms down. Beautiful song. So how did it go with the album? I'd love to hear what's life like after making a hit album.

[Donnie Rothschild]

So we're kind of scratching the whole music thing because. Yeah, man. So as you can tell, that message is beautiful you get because you listen. You're a deep diver. You don't just listen to the beats. You don't listen. You listen to the lyrics and the rhymes. And the rhymes and the message. But I realized when I try to play it at festivals, yeah, most people are just on molly trying to grind, right? Trying to grind. You know, they're. They're little, their. Their penis is hard, and they're trying to find a nice, nice wet hole. It's erotic to put it in.

[Duncan Trussell]

Festivals are erotic.

[Donnie Rothschild]

That is true. So I. I'm changing my gear a little bit.

[Duncan Trussell]

Yeah.

[Donnie Rothschild]

I'm using a different form of art. I still love music, and I'm still, you know, doing that on the side, but I'm going into filmmaking. That's why I'm actually here in Austin. Wow.

[Duncan Trussell]

No kidding, man. You know, honestly, clearly, you're very talented.

[Donnie Rothschild]

Thank you, man.

[Duncan Trussell]

And you're a hard worker. I know the. You know, one of the things that I think is out there, especially right now, is that, you know, someone who is born into wealth. People think they call you trust fund kids. They say you don't work hard. They say that this is maybe one of the things that's really wrong with the world is that all the wealth has been sort of captured by small groups of people who then pass that on to their children and that it doesn't really get dispersed out into the world, that this is essentially a new form of monarchy, that you're not really a trust fund kid, you're a prince. There's still kings, there's still queens. You're a prince. And I'm sure you catch a lot of heat for that. But I think that music video and the album really shows that this is not true. This is an unfair stereotype. And on behalf of humanity, I want to apologize to you. The wealthy.

[Donnie Rothschild]

I just want to say, because the reason I'm here in Austin is I'm working on a reality TV show called. It's called Hopeful Homeless. It's like a Jersey shore meets like the homeless.

[Duncan Trussell]

Okay.

[Donnie Rothschild]

And I'm just trying to find fun cast of characters to put together. And just hanging out with them, I realized how. How much, like, better their life is almost sometimes to mine really.

[Duncan Trussell]

Now, I wouldn't think that. You know, when I'm looking around and I see people, you know, intense, blasted high as a kite. You know, in la, this dude filled up a bucket with his diarrhea imported on a woman's head. And I just kind of see that. And I feel like this is like watching people get ground up in the gears of capitalism.

[Donnie Rothschild]

But Duncan, this is where I disagree. What you said being high in a tent. Oh, so you're just camping all the time, right?

[Duncan Trussell]

Okay.

[Donnie Rothschild]

I wish I could just camp all the time. Duncan, when you are from a family like mine.

[Duncan Trussell]

Yeah.

[Donnie Rothschild]

You're always on a schedule, you know, Right. Wake up at 7:00am, you know, really, you got. I gotta drink my coffee. I gotta. I gotta get in the chop. I gotta go fly somewhere to meet with some buddies and think of ideas. I'm always working to help society. These guys out here, they get to wake up and they're like, what am I gonna do today?

[Duncan Trussell]

Right?

[Donnie Rothschild]

What am I this kind of cool? You're.

[Duncan Trussell]

You're free. You're free, right? Okay. So now I'm trapped. I will say this.

[Donnie Rothschild]

I mean, I'm trapped, man.

[Duncan Trussell]

I, you know, when I was like, trying to learn parkour, I, you know, which is a lot harder than it looks, by the way. I, you know, was in Paris and I met this beautiful woman. She did parkour. And you know, she. She was like, I will give you a blowjob if you can make it across this rooftop.

[Donnie Rothschild]

Yep.

[Duncan Trussell]

And I said, I don't think I could do that. But I was so horny. And she made it seem so easy. And so I tried, I failed. I fell two stories, broke my back and ended up in a chopper getting medevaced. Now, on the way to the hospital, the paramedic said, you know, she does that to like tourists, right? Like, she just gets horny Americans to.

[Donnie Rothschild]

She offers blowjobs.

[Duncan Trussell]

And this week, you're the fourth American when you had to medevac from this exact spot. They never caught her. But what I meant to say is the chopper ride was not just. Cause my back was broken and my spleen was ruptured. It's not pleasant choppers are like. It's not like an airplane.

[Donnie Rothschild]

It's fun, man. It's just. Imagine it's 8am and all you hear is da da da da da da da da da da da da. You know, I'm still hungover from the night before I was dancing, especially my past year, just going to nightclubs, trying to spread my message through music.

[Duncan Trussell]

Yep.

[Donnie Rothschild]

You know, I'm just dancing on drugs, you know, coke, Molly, fucking hiking, everything, everything. And then I have to wake up and I hear ta da da da da da da da. It makes you go crazy.

[Duncan Trussell]

Nightmare.

[Donnie Rothschild]

It makes you go crazy.

[Duncan Trussell]

And then that's the space that you're supposed to creatively get. You know, how do you make real that high level art that you've been putting out there if you're like hungover and just took a nauseating chopper, where do you guys work?

[Donnie Rothschild]

All over. So I got a place in New York City, I got a place in la, you know, entertainment, you know, la.

[Duncan Trussell]

Yeah, me too.

[Donnie Rothschild]

I got a place in. I got a place in Detroit.

[Duncan Trussell]

[Donnie Rothschild]

Yeah, I think. I think that's gonna be my hub, I think. Yeah, we're gonna. We're gonna fix it up and we're gonna name it Detroit. Rothschilds Slash Rothschild City.

[Duncan Trussell]

That's. I mean, come on.

[Donnie Rothschild]

It's gonna be our. Like, my family said it. We're gonna, like, revamp it.

[Duncan Trussell]

It's gonna be very cool. What about Detroit Child?

[Donnie Rothschild]

Ooh, I like that.

[Duncan Trussell]

Yeah.

[Donnie Rothschild]

Can I have that?

[Duncan Trussell]

Yeah, it's yours.

[Donnie Rothschild]

Okay.

[Duncan Trussell]

Thank you, man. The Slash kind of it. I mean, like, you know, you gotta combine things.

[Donnie Rothschild]

De Roth Child. Welcome to Rothschild Detroit Child International Airport.

[Duncan Trussell]

Roth Troy.

[Donnie Rothschild]

Roth Troy. Roth Troy is badass.

[Duncan Trussell]

Yeah.

[Donnie Rothschild]

Because we have Eminem there, you know, we're gonna have him like, make a theme song. Yeah, we're gonna. So I'm just buying, and then I got some overseas places, you know.

[Duncan Trussell]

So the theme song is for your documentary. Now, I love the reality show, but when we talked via telegram, which is really weird to me, I don't mean the app. I mean, like, why do you use telegrams?

[Donnie Rothschild]

I just. People don't need to know what I'm thinking.

[Duncan Trussell]

Right. And you.

[Donnie Rothschild]

There are people there. The thing is, there are people out there that want to hijack my ideas, and they want to, you know, they want to say, oh, he's a liar. He's crazy. I know when. I mean. So that's why I telegram. It's weird.

[Duncan Trussell]

It was hard to find a telegram place these days.

[Donnie Rothschild]

It's hard.

[Duncan Trussell]

But, you know, I had to go to an old train station. It's a little old man with a, like, pipe.

[Donnie Rothschild]

But doesn't it feel good that only me, you and that old man know the information I gave you, which is fucking weird. So if, you know, if you wait.

[Duncan Trussell]

Next day to see if you sent in another telegram and they said the old man fell in front of a train. He's dead deaf. I mean, he got run over by a train.

[Donnie Rothschild]

That's sad. Normal thing to happen to a human.

[Duncan Trussell]

Not really default. He'd worked there for like 30 years.

[Donnie Rothschild]

Yeah, but he's like. He probably, you know, maybe there was like a banana or something.

[Duncan Trussell]

There was only one train that day.

[Donnie Rothschild]

Maybe a banana fucking his office.

[Duncan Trussell]

The telegram office was far away from the tracks.

[Donnie Rothschild]

Yeah, but you have, you've seen cartoons, right? Bananas will slip and you'll like start like walking crazy. And then he probably fell. It's fine.

[Duncan Trussell]

There's like a big.

[Donnie Rothschild]

No one pushed.

[Duncan Trussell]

No one's pushed him off in the track.

[Donnie Rothschild]

He definitely didn't get like he fell.

[Duncan Trussell]

Why would you think he got pushed?

[Donnie Rothschild]

Why did you bring it up?

[Duncan Trussell]

I didn't. I'm. Look, guy, look a little stone.

[Donnie Rothschild]

You're crazy.

[Duncan Trussell]

So, okay, so I'm really interested. Obviously when I read your telegram, it really spiked my interest because, you know, all of us have been really fascinated, maybe a little anxious about the incursion of unknown drones flying over New Jersey. And in the telegram you said that you've got some information about what those drones actually are.

[Donnie Rothschild]

Yeah.

[Duncan Trussell]

And so what are they? And can you talk about it?

[Donnie Rothschild]

Don't you think it's funny? After one of, let's say, quote unquote, normal people decided to kill a friend of ours, a CEO of a healthcare company, A man that wants.

[Duncan Trussell]

I was your friend.

[Donnie Rothschild]

Yeah, a buddy of mine, to be fair. Like a buddy who just wanted.

[Duncan Trussell]

Sorry for your loss.

[Donnie Rothschild]

Wanted to help sick people.

[Duncan Trussell]

Right?

[Donnie Rothschild]

And yeah, like did, did he say no to some sick people? It's like. Yeah, but you were like really sick, right? We help like the moderate sick. Well, you can't be really sick and want help. More help, like you gotta, you gotta come a little.

[Duncan Trussell]

I thought the point of health insurance is when you get really, really sick.

[Donnie Rothschild]

No, it's to get kind. If you're like, like medium sick. Don't you think it's a little selfish, the idea of, oh, I'm really, really sick, can you do everything for me? Why didn't you come earlier when you were just kind of sick?

[Duncan Trussell]

Okay, well, let me play devil's advocate, okay? Okay. I've been paying a health insurance premium for years, relatively healthy, whatever. And then like often happens to humans, something happens. Parkour accident, by the way. Do you know how much I owe for that?

[Donnie Rothschild]

How much?

[Duncan Trussell]

Nothing. Cause France socialized healthcare. So nothing. I think it was like $100.

[Donnie Rothschild]

$100? Yeah.

[Duncan Trussell]

Couple hundred bucks or whatever.

[Donnie Rothschild]

Yeah. But also you'd have to live in France.

[Duncan Trussell]

Well, no, that's the problem is because all the follow up surgeries, like 15 follow up surgeries. I am $720 million in medical debt right now because the, my insurance company said that for the repairing my spleen, they said that that is an unnecessary Surgery. A lot of people go around with a busted spleen.

[Donnie Rothschild]

You don't need it.

[Duncan Trussell]

I need the spleen.

[Donnie Rothschild]

No, you need a spleen. It's like when you're walking around with a black eye, you can still see. Yeah. Like, maybe, you know, maybe it just doesn't look good. That's what's wrong with your spleen. It just doesn't look good, but it still works.

[Duncan Trussell]

It's not just that. I mean, it's like because of my rupt. Ruptured spleen, I can't achieve an erection. My pee is like, kind of like a mucusy drizzle.

[Donnie Rothschild]

And dunk it again. I love you, and that's why I'm here.

[Duncan Trussell]

Thank you.

[Donnie Rothschild]

But again, you were learning parkour.

[Duncan Trussell]

Yes.

[Donnie Rothschild]

You knew you couldn't jump over to the other building. A little horny French lady goes, beep, beep, beep. Jump, jump over there. You know? You knew you couldn't do it, right? You did it. It's on you.

[Duncan Trussell]

Consequence.

[Donnie Rothschild]

It's on you. It's consequence. That's my thing, is like.

[Duncan Trussell]

Right.

[Donnie Rothschild]

All these people just want, want, want from their health care providers.

[Duncan Trussell]

Yeah.

[Donnie Rothschild]

Do you guys ever ask them, how can we help you?

[Duncan Trussell]

You know, when you put it that.

[Donnie Rothschild]

Way, it's always, dude, that's the. And I'm sorry I'm getting mad.

[Duncan Trussell]

It's okay.

[Donnie Rothschild]

It's just. It's been a tough few weeks, man, just watching this. Luigi. Oh, look how go. Fuck.

[Duncan Trussell]

Luigi threw his life away basically for activism. I mean, it's activism for. I mean, I'm not. That's what people are saying. People are calling it active. People are saying if we do protests according to the way they tell us to protest, that's not really a protest.

[Donnie Rothschild]

And can I tell you this? And this might be extreme, but I feel this way. I genuinely feel this way. What Luigi did is the worst thing to happen in New York City since 9 11. It might be worse. It might be worse. I get it. 3,000 people died during 9 11. But Brian Thompson, man, he had the heart of 3,000 people.

[Duncan Trussell]

I mean, he's probably responsible for not giving medical care to people. At least 3,000 people with heart problems.

[Donnie Rothschild]

Oh, and now that he's gone, do you think more people are gonna get help? His phone's just been ringing off the hood. You know what? Me, okay. So after he died, me and some of his friends, we got together, we had the funeral, then we went to dinner to Chili's afterwards. We love Chili's. Brian loved Chili's, man. The triple dipper. We got the triple dipper. We got the little burger. They're burgers, but they're small. It's cute as. And afterwards, for fun, we went back to his office and we, we did, we declined a couple of claims in his name. Just, just, you know, as a team bonding, just to remember Brian.

[Duncan Trussell]

Right.

[Donnie Rothschild]

You know, some ladies, like, oh, I got, I got, you know, I got cancer, stage four. It's like, it's already done denied, you know, go away.

[Duncan Trussell]

I, you know, I haven't really looked at it from the thing. Honestly. I, I, I, I don't think that the, the answer is, is violence in any situation. But I feel like kind of what you're okay. Like, I love Carl Sagan and, you know, I saw what a great documentary he did about black holes. And when you look at the black hole, it's devouring stars. I mean, does the star have health insurance? Is it sending a letter to a health insurance agency saying, hey, I'm about to get sucked into a black hole. Is there anything you do to help? So I guess kind of your view.

[Donnie Rothschild]

Is, do dogs ever ask for healthcare? No.

[Duncan Trussell]

Well, they know. I mean, not really.

[Donnie Rothschild]

No. We, we purposely send them to the doctor. They don't want to go.

[Duncan Trussell]

Right.

[Donnie Rothschild]

And what I'm saying is they don't want Americans need to act more like dogs.

[Duncan Trussell]

Yeah.

[Donnie Rothschild]

You live and you die.

[Duncan Trussell]

Right.

[Donnie Rothschild]

You play fetch a little bit in between, you know.

[Duncan Trussell]

Yeah.

[Donnie Rothschild]

You get fed and then you die. It's time to, Sometimes it's just time to go.

[Duncan Trussell]

Don't you kind of feel like, you know, this attitude that you have isn't maybe going over so well? It's just with the majority.

[Donnie Rothschild]

Get it. They don't yet, man.

[Duncan Trussell]

Understand what?

[Donnie Rothschild]

They just don't understand. The true meaning of life is like, when you are just a normie. Your, your purpose in this life is to be born.

[Duncan Trussell]

Yes.

[Donnie Rothschild]

To have fun in your, like, teenage years. You know, you finger a girl, you get, you get a kiss under the bleachers.

[Duncan Trussell]

Yeah.

[Donnie Rothschild]

You try a few drugs and then if you're healthy, you go to war for our country.

[Duncan Trussell]

Okay.

[Donnie Rothschild]

You come back.

[Duncan Trussell]

But there's no big war right now.

[Donnie Rothschild]

Oh, there will be. I mean, sorry, can we just. When you edit this, cut it, please. There might be.

[Duncan Trussell]

Yeah, you never know, okay?

[Donnie Rothschild]

And you know, you go to war and then you come home and you work at a job, right? You know, you meet a woman, you're like, she's all right, she's cool, she's alright.

[Duncan Trussell]

Yep.

[Donnie Rothschild]

And then you die. And you did the American dream, you lived it well.

[Duncan Trussell]

I mean that. Okay, but the problem with that is right now you lived a good life. Listen, let me push back a little bit. Because of inflation right now, there isn't. People don't. Money doesn't go as far as it used to. So, you know, people used to, on a middle class income, be able to buy a house and you know, have a relatively good life. But. But now that same amount of money is barely enough to rent an apartment.

[Donnie Rothschild]

Yeah, but we did that on purpose, man. We realized you have a home, right?

[Duncan Trussell]

I do.

[Donnie Rothschild]

I mean, isn't it like stressful? You know, your wife comes in the room, you're hanging out and she's, you.

[Duncan Trussell]

Bought the house for me. I mean, I'm gonna full Disclosure. Because people are gonna find that out.

[Donnie Rothschild]

Yeah. But it's. I know.

[Duncan Trussell]

I bought it. So it's not the same.

[Donnie Rothschild]

Cause it's just tough. Cause then you're like, oh, the roof is broken. Now you have to call a guy. You know, it's better to rant, Everybody should rent.

[Duncan Trussell]

But you gave me a house.

[Donnie Rothschild]

Yeah. Because I'll take care of you. And the thing is, you guys do.

[Duncan Trussell]

Take good care of me.

[Donnie Rothschild]

That's what I'm saying. I take care of you.

[Duncan Trussell]

Yep.

[Donnie Rothschild]

And the cool thing is when your roof is broken, guess what? Old Don comes in, fixes the roof.

[Duncan Trussell]

Yeah.

[Donnie Rothschild]

And, you know, and it's like. And if you. If you act up, it's like, maybe it's going to take a little longer to fix the roof.

[Duncan Trussell]

I did notice. I don't know. I went on podcast. I think I was saying something that you misunderstood.

[Donnie Rothschild]

Would you. What was it again?

[Duncan Trussell]

I don't know. So I think I was yapping about how, I don't know, like, maybe human beings shouldn't lean on the state for happiness, but rather we should find a way to connect with our neighbors. Because that's. And I. And right after that, a water pipe burst.

[Donnie Rothschild]

I wrote that's. I remember. I remember you saying that. And I was watching it, and I go, if Duncan is the best comedian, this is a bet. That is so funny, the idea of, oh, your neighbor knows better than us.

[Duncan Trussell]

I was joking. It was like I was just trying to do a funny joke. And I'm sorry I said that. And I would like to apologize to all of. To your family and to your friends that that was me trying to do a little bit of edgy comedy.

[Donnie Rothschild]

You did edgy?

[Duncan Trussell]

It was our job.

[Donnie Rothschild]

I explained it to my friends.

[Duncan Trussell]

I'm very sorry. And I hope that they understand that I meant them no harm and that I'm really happ happy that we have this kind of alignment. I'm really curious about that. By the way, something occurred to me that maybe I'm not the only person with a podcast or whatever that has the patronage, I guess you would say, of powerful family. How many other influencers, podcasters, folks like that do you do?

[Donnie Rothschild]

We support? We support. I support them all, man. I support. What is it? I. I support Rogan.

[Duncan Trussell]

Yeah, I.

[Donnie Rothschild]

That's mine. I support Fox, the legacy media. We've always Fox, Fox News. Mine. That's been ours for a while.

[Duncan Trussell]

Are you kidding?

[Donnie Rothschild]

Yeah.

[Duncan Trussell]

I thought that was the Murdoch family.

[Donnie Rothschild]

We. We hang out. It switches depending on how the golf game that year Goes, Are you kidding? Yeah. Yeah. So if we. You know, if I got my good stroke on, like, in 2023, it belonged to the Murdochs. We want it back 2024. And I think we're gonna. We're gonna keep it for 2025. It just swings back and forth.

[Duncan Trussell]

Okay. Now, this is. This is something I've always wondered because sometimes, like, I will watch, you know, I actually switch back and forth between FOX and MSNBC because both of them kind of seem like some form of propaganda. It's like, basically, though they disagree on. On certain issues, it seems like they all align when it comes to upholding the current conceptualization of the way the federal government works or that we need that. Without the state, humanity would fall apart. And so I'm just curious, how does that work? So you send, like, a telegram to them about what talking points they should. How does that work?

[Donnie Rothschild]

So you know how news used to be about information?

[Duncan Trussell]

Yeah.

[Donnie Rothschild]

Boring.

[Duncan Trussell]

Very.

[Donnie Rothschild]

That sucks.

[Duncan Trussell]

You couldn't see the news anchor's feet.

[Donnie Rothschild]

So. So what we realized was, what is fun? What is fun? It is when you're hanging out with your bros. Love it. And they're all agreeing.

[Duncan Trussell]

Love it.

[Donnie Rothschild]

You know when you go out with, like, three or four friends.

[Duncan Trussell]

Yes.

[Donnie Rothschild]

And, like, three of them are on the same page, and then there's their one asshole. That's like, actually, you don't want that.

[Duncan Trussell]

Nope.

[Donnie Rothschild]

You just want to go out with the boys.

[Duncan Trussell]

Have fun.

[Donnie Rothschild]

Have fun. So we decided, why don't we do that with. Who cares if it's right? What is? Yeah. It's all about hanging out with the people, you know?

[Duncan Trussell]

Right.

[Donnie Rothschild]

Because when I go home, I don't want to turn on the news and some guy's like, actually, this is bad. No, I want. I want to go in with my belief system, say that I'm right, because guess what? Now I feel more confident.

[Duncan Trussell]

You know what I love?

[Donnie Rothschild]

If I think I'm always right, I'm more confident.

[Duncan Trussell]

Well, you. Makes you feel safe.

[Donnie Rothschild]

Makes you feel. It's. It's not even about that. I don't care about. I care about the confidence that.

[Duncan Trussell]

Right.

[Donnie Rothschild]

The confidence.

[Duncan Trussell]

I'm the man.

[Donnie Rothschild]

I'm the man.

[Duncan Trussell]

You know, I would not to go back to the feet thing, but just because, like, I guess you guys are kind of, like, deciding wardrobe and stuff. It would be. It'd be cool if, like, more high heels.

[Donnie Rothschild]

Oh, they're coming back. Okay, we're gonna start. We're working right now to try to do after midnight, topless news.

[Duncan Trussell]

Oh, my God.

[Donnie Rothschild]

Oh, yeah. We're working with Riley Reed. Porn star Riley Reid.

[Duncan Trussell]

She's been on the show. We're very talented.

[Donnie Rothschild]

We're A couple of porn stars do topless news, you know, and people are like, aren't you worried, like, you're gonna be talking about subjects, like, what's happening in Israel and Palestine, and they're gonna show footage of war? Do you really want them to be topless?

[Duncan Trussell]

Yeah, but does it even, like, you know, since we are sort of talking about, like, what does it matter what's real, what's not real? Why. Why even cover any of that stuff anyway? Don't you think you guys just sort of, like, slide in a whole new reality that doesn't even match what's happening in the world? I mean, most Americans can't afford to really travel right now, so it's not like people know what's happening overseas. Have you ever considered just inserting a completely fake reality?

[Donnie Rothschild]

No. I think the reason we show war. I think the reason we want to show war is just to remind Americans what we're capable of.

[Duncan Trussell]

Right?

[Donnie Rothschild]

Hey, I get it. A cheeseburger's a few bucks more.

[Duncan Trussell]

Right? Right.

[Donnie Rothschild]

But let's be quiet.

[Duncan Trussell]

No, I see what you're saying.

[Donnie Rothschild]

Well, let's remember what we're capable of. Is it. Are we. Am I saying.

[Duncan Trussell]

You're basically like.

[Donnie Rothschild]

Am I saying we're bullying them? To some, yeah. To some that might say, yeah, we're bullying.

[Duncan Trussell]

A threat or a threat.

[Donnie Rothschild]

Threat. Sure, sure.

[Duncan Trussell]

Right.

[Donnie Rothschild]

But I feel like. I feel like you become stronger when you're threatened, because I remember my father making us stronger. Yeah. My father went. Growing up, he just said, I have so many other children. He goes, I could drown your ass and no one would care.

[Duncan Trussell]

Right?

[Donnie Rothschild]

Because no one would care. You know what I did that year?

[Duncan Trussell]

What?

[Donnie Rothschild]

That year, I took a lot of money from my dad's bank account, hired some very, very smart people, and we made the Motorola razor.

[Duncan Trussell]

You know what? Okay, I see what you're saying.

[Donnie Rothschild]

So his threat saying, he goes, if you don't get your shit together, I will drown you in a tub. Right? And no one will care. I was scared.

[Duncan Trussell]

I mean, for a second, it kind of feels like you're saying that to all of us.

[Donnie Rothschild]

Not exactly.

[Duncan Trussell]

Now let's get back to these drones.

[Donnie Rothschild]

Not exactly. Duncan. I'm not gonna drown every American. That would be a lot of time. That would take a lot of time.

[Duncan Trussell]

I mean, so over New Jersey, a lot of these unidentified drones. A few things are really interesting to me. Regarding this phenomenon, number one, it showed up everywhere on the news. Everybody was talking about it. I know people who live in New Jersey are seeing these drones, and it seemed like the federal government and everyone was talking about it. Now I think the drones are still there, but now, no, it's not really on the news anymore. No one's again.

[Donnie Rothschild]

We were just. It's going back to that threat thing, isn't it? Funny how after Brian Thompson died, the drone showed up. We're watching you, man. We took. We took the gas pedal off after Covid. We're like, hey, I think America's healing again. Everything's going. Going good. And then you killed one of ours. So we're gonna. We're just watching out.

[Duncan Trussell]

You know what? Maybe we should cut to a. Maybe we should just cut to a quick break. This episode of the DTFH has been supported by Better Help. What do you want your 2025 story to be? You know, that's the incredible thing. Anytime a new year appears, even though it is an imaginary line drawn in the sand of infinity, it still gives you the impression that there's a year ahead of you, which there definitely is on one level. On the human level, the Earth Realm level, you've got a year ahead of you. What do you want this year to be? You want this to be a year of social anxiety? You want this to be a year of feeling like you've been punched in the gut when somebody invites you out for coffee? You want this to be a year of dreading interacting with other human beings? A year of waking up in the middle of the night regretting some thing you did when you were a kid? Or can this year be a year of alchemizing all that pain, of transforming that psychological lead into gold of the magician in the tarot deck, which is the card just after the fool, Someone who aligns their energy, someone who turns and faces the dragon in the eyes. Listen, if you're going to face a dragon, sure, go running into the cave, face the dragon. But sometimes it's nice to have a companion along the way. And that's what a great therapist is. Therapy changed my life. I say this in every blue or therapy changed my life. I say this in every BetterHelp commercial because it's true. I'm not embarrassed about the fact that I have a meat computer that encodes memories and distorts reality from time to time, called my brain. And so do you.

[Donnie Rothschild]

Been kind of up. Just. You invited me here. You. I tell. I had a. I had to push that old guy on the tracks because he wouldn't. Because he was a big fan and he was talking to his friends. Like Duncan Chisel came to and he just spat it. He talked too much.

[Duncan Trussell]

Listen, I just want my family to be safe. I will do whatever you guys want. Just. I do. I'm not gonna.

[Donnie Rothschild]

Let's go. A little softball for. For the rest of the.

[Duncan Trussell]

I'm sorry. I'm just trying to make it seem.

[Donnie Rothschild]

I love you, Duncan. I love you. But it's like this. You're pushing the fucking buttons, man.

[Duncan Trussell]

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

[Donnie Rothschild]

Thank you.

[Duncan Trussell]

I'm sorry, Donny.

[Donnie Rothschild]

I'm an artist, man.

[Duncan Trussell]

Are we rolling?

[Donnie Rothschild]

Rolling.

[Duncan Trussell]

And we're back with Donnie Rock.

[Donnie Rothschild]

Man. That was a good break. Just laughing. This guy is so funny. This guy is so funny.

[Duncan Trussell]

Thank you so much. You're awesome, man. You know, look, I know you don't have a lot of time. I know you're out here doing film stuff and things like that. But number one, I just want to say how I love being your friend. And I really hope people out there do hear your message and understand that, you know, I don't care who you are. I don't care if you're black, white, green, red, orange, rich.

[Donnie Rothschild]

Well, if you're green. If you're green, I don't like you. I don't trust you. I've never. Get away. Get out of here.

[Duncan Trussell]

Stand up, man. Yeah. Thank you. That could be a gag.

[Donnie Rothschild]

Thank you.

[Duncan Trussell]

But you know what?

[Donnie Rothschild]

But I mean it. Yeah. If you're green. Don't fucking talk to me.

[Duncan Trussell]

If you're a human.

[Donnie Rothschild]

If you're human.

[Duncan Trussell]

You know what? If you're human and you happen to have almost all the money in the world, that does not give anyone the right to not love you, not be cool to you, certainly perpetrate any kind of violence, subversive or overt.

[Donnie Rothschild]

Do you Wanna hear something?

[Duncan Trussell]

Hold on one sec. And also, it's a really good idea for Americans to spend. Sorry. To spend more time at work. And we need to get back into the office.

[Donnie Rothschild]

You get it?

[Duncan Trussell]

Let's talk about that. This. This. I love the.

[Donnie Rothschild]

The.

[Duncan Trussell]

What's it called? Come On Home. This new call.

[Donnie Rothschild]

It's called Come On Home is kind of like the. The PC kind of. But like, the real message is, get your ass back in that office.

[Duncan Trussell]

Get so fun.

[Donnie Rothschild]

Because I. We've realized everybody's been, like, kind of chilling the past few years, so we're gonna ramp it up a little bit. Instead of 40 hour work weeks, we're ramping it up 55 hours. Hours.

[Duncan Trussell]

Love it. Yeah. I mean, and that, to me, it's like, I love the thing you explained to me about how, what is time anyway? What is a week? Why not add another day to the week?

[Donnie Rothschild]

And what I'm thinking is like, the biggest pushback we get is people are like, yeah, but that's less time with my kids. Think about it this way.

[Duncan Trussell]

Okay.

[Donnie Rothschild]

That's more time. Your kids are gonna miss you.

[Duncan Trussell]

Yeah, that's great. When your kids miss you, you know.

[Donnie Rothschild]

When your kids miss you, they appreciate you. Daddy's home. I love that you're gonna get that times three.

[Duncan Trussell]

I love that feeling. And boy, Donnie, I just love everything you guys are doing. And I fully support you. I fully support your family and friends of your family. And I hope that we stay friends for a very, very long time and that you know how much I love you.

[Donnie Rothschild]

I love you. Do you want to hear something fun?

[Duncan Trussell]

Yeah.

[Donnie Rothschild]

This little inside baseball, we might have to cut it. We might. But I think.

[Duncan Trussell]

Okay.

[Donnie Rothschild]

So you know the past election.

[Duncan Trussell]

Yeah.

[Donnie Rothschild]

Al Kamala didn't win.

[Duncan Trussell]

Yeah.

[Donnie Rothschild]

So people are wondering, like, why did they put Cala in place?

[Duncan Trussell]

Yeah. I was curious about that.

[Donnie Rothschild]

It was a. You know how I talked about how when we golf, we switch off, like, who owns Murdoch?

[Duncan Trussell]

Yeah.

[Donnie Rothschild]

So me and the boys were like. We had a couple.

[Duncan Trussell]

Yep.

[Donnie Rothschild]

And we were just talking like, isn't it crazy that we got that old guy into the White House? Isn't it crazy we got the. He's like. He doesn't even know what the heck he's saying half the time.

[Duncan Trussell]

Yeah.

[Donnie Rothschild]

Isn't it wild? And we got a little cocky.

[Duncan Trussell]

Yeah.

[Donnie Rothschild]

We're like, what if we put a woman in the White House?

[Duncan Trussell]

Yeah.

[Donnie Rothschild]

So my buddy. My buddy was like, what if. Are you thinking Hillary again? I go, what if we pick someone even more unlikable? Right. And so we were chat. We were chatting. We called her up and we're like, hey, Kamala, this is how we. I go, hey, bitch. And she's like, what's up? And I was like, what if you ran for president? And she goes, you know, America doesn't really like me. And we're like, no, I think we can get you the win.

[Duncan Trussell]

Yeah.

[Donnie Rothschild]

Turns out we couldn't.

[Duncan Trussell]

Yeah.

[Donnie Rothschild]

So we. I just want to apologize. That's on us. That's our bad.
