Duncan Trussell Family Hour, Ep. 738: Donny Rothschild

Release date: February 16, 2026
Guest: Donny Rothschild (Grammy-winning musician, Rothschild family heir)

---

Episode Overview

In this glittering and satirical episode, Duncan hosts Donny Rothschild—a fictional, over-the-top scion of extreme wealth and a recent Grammy award winner. The conversation gallops through topics of class, privilege, conspiracy theories (Epstein files and “elite” behavior), the social role of the wealthy (or as Donny insists, “cool guys”), and a darkly comedic vision for the future of civilization and AI. Throughout, the duo use biting humor and parody to lampoon pop culture, wealth disparity, and how the super-wealthy interact with the rest of the world.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. “Elites” vs. “Cool Guys”: A Rebranding of Privilege

• Donny’s preferred term for elites is “cool guys” — arguing that “elite” has become a slur akin to “our N word.”
  • "When a friend like you calls me an elite, it's like, I feel like you just ripped off my shirt and you're just whipping me on the back." (15:54, Donny)
  • Says being called “elite” is “mean spirited,” suggesting “cool guys” instead.
  • Duncan (sarcastically): “You cool guys don’t seem to have the kind of situational awareness I think I would expect.” (16:02)

2. Wealth, Privilege, and Reincarnation

• Donny frames being born rich as karmic payback for past-life virtue.
  • "Just try again. Your next life. Just pray really hard." (04:31, Donny)
  • “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.” (04:38, Donny)
• Duncan gently prods the notion that success comes from past-life merit rather than sheer luck or systemic inequality.

3. Nepo Baby Culture & Donny’s Grammy Win

• Donny discusses being accused of nepotism and how he overcame it (or suppressed it with sheer monetary and security power).
  • “If someone yells, nepo, baby, my security guard goes over there and just like, lets them know what it’s about.” (10:44, Donny)
  • “I hired 14 of the best producers to help me write this song. … I have money and I just have a cool vibe.” (11:02, Donny)
  • “You wrote the lyrics, yeah, with 14 other guys. But I was the main vibe guy.” (11:19)

4. Donny’s Music Video: Surreal Propaganda

• A satirical, dystopian anthem about the super-wealthy’s role: “We've tried to teach you a better way to be, but when we send our teachers, you nail them up on trees.” (13:07-13:19, Donny singing)
• Notable themes: Threats of societal “reset,” robot children, and a blunt message to “stay in line.”
  • “It's just a fun bop. … It reminds people, like, what's going on.” (14:17, Donny)
  • “Stay in lines, because the thing is, I do not want to have to release the serum…” (14:58, Donny)

5. The Epstein Files: Dismissals and Evasions

• Duncan directly asks Donny about redacted emails with Jeffrey Epstein.
  • “The only words that weren’t blacked out were like, pizza.” (17:13, Duncan)
• Donny downplays the connection, gives dismissive, absurdly mundane answers (“We ordered pizza together, via email”), and shames continued inquiry as “hack.”
  • “It’s kind of hack at this point, to be honest. Like, if you think about it, talking about Epstein is kind of hack.” (17:18, Donny)

6. Blackmail and the Power Structures of the Vatican

• Donny boasts about opening a nightclub in the Vatican’s basement using “leverage” on the church.
  • “We know stuff … about the people inside that church. … So you’re blackmailing the Vatican?” (23:59, Duncan/Donny)
• Shifts from “blackmailing” to euphemistically saying, "having a conversation."
  • “I like to say, if you don’t give me what I want, I’m going to ruin you. … These are bad people we’re doing this to.” (24:31, Donny)

7. On Social Mobility: "Cool Guys" and the Decline of the "Sick Dudes"

• Discuss the vanishing middle class (“sick dudes”) and rising class tensions:
  • “Now it’s just cool guys and then everybody else. … That seems to be a security risk, wouldn’t you say?” (26:09, Duncan)
  • “If everybody had an Epstein’s Island, Epstein’s island wouldn’t have been that special.” (26:41, Donny)
• Donny equates lower classes to “Santa’s Little Helper”—essential but disposable, and prefers “helping” over “serving.”

8. AI, the End of Work, and "Donnie's World"

• As AI advances threaten mass unemployment, Donny introduces a solution:
  • “Donnie’s World”: an upload-your-consciousness VR utopia for the underclass, coupled with literal body liquefaction so fluids can be used for “medical advances” for cool guys.
    • “We take out all your, like, your vital fluids and, like, your brain, we turn it into mush … and with this, we can put you into Donnie’s World.” (32:56, Donny)
    • "We're gonna start taking [the homeless] because their life here on this world isn't going. It's brutal. ... We're helping them out.” (34:10, Donny)
  • Early sign-ups get more privileged roles; those who wait end up as “non-cool guys” in the virtual world as well.

9. Egalitarianism Repackaged—With a Catch

• Everyone in Donnie's World is rendered as a yellow smiley-face emoji.
  • “Here in this world ... we deal with racism, we deal with, you know, sexism, we deal with homophobia. Here, everybody's the same.” (42:37, Donny)
  • But those who wait too long get a “darker yellow,” which is heavily implied to be a disadvantage.

10. Who Really Gets to Escape?

• Duncan asks: Will the "cool guys" themselves upload to Donnie's World?
  • “No, that's for them. … I want— that's for guys like that. … Because I'm gonna go in there and I've experienced it. I'm experiencing it here.” (43:36, Donny)
• Donny claims benevolence, brushing off Duncan’s critique that the whole scheme is a “Matrix-style class culling.”

11. Thinly Veiled Threats & Final Exchanges

• Donny threatens to forcibly “upload” Duncan and his family to Donnie’s World if he continues with uncomfortable questioning.
  • “...if you keep acting up, I might ... have to put you in Donnie’s World if you keep…” (48:29, Donny)
• The episode ends amid awkward bickering with producer Josh, and Donny requesting a custodian for Donnie's World.

Tone & Style

• Surrealist satire: The episode exemplifies the DTFH’s taste for irreverent, surreal humor.
• Mock-seriousness: Donny’s matter-of-fact delivery deepens the parody, while Duncan's incredulity sustains the comic tension.
• Biting social commentary: Beneath the absurdity, the conversation critiques wealth-consolidation, social hierarchy, and hollow “benevolence” from the powerful.

---

Conclusion

Episode 738 of the DTFH is a razor-sharp, satirical rollercoaster through the psyche of the ultra-wealthy. Donny Rothschild embodies the self-justifying, otherworldly logic of unfathomable privilege, complete with a plan to literally upload and control the underclasses. Using absurdity and dark humor, Duncan and Donny lampoon societal divides, power structures, and the future of AI, ultimately holding up a mirror to contemporary anxieties about class, technology, and who truly pulls the strings.

Transcript

[Duncan Trussell]

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 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.

[Donnie Rothschild]

It.

[Duncan Trussell]

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. You're looking good.

[Donnie Rothschild]

Thanks for having me, Duncan. It's excited to be back, man. Like, we had a dude, a lot's been going on.

[Duncan Trussell]

I know. I like. You know, I gotta tell you, you do have a kind of like, just got a Grammy glow.

[Donnie Rothschild]

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 cheeseburgers anymore. Like banter, you know?

[Duncan Trussell]

So you did banter with Adele?

[Donnie Rothschild]

Me and 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, bro, sister. We kind. Yeah, we. She. She. She rolls her eyes, you know.

[Duncan Trussell]

What a world you live in.

[Donnie Rothschild]

It's a fun world, dude. It's among the stars. We just have fun. Everything's cool. Everything.

[Duncan Trussell]

Did you go to any parties?

[Donnie Rothschild]

You know, ever since Diddy got arrested, the party scene has kind of shut down.

[Duncan Trussell]

Oh, that sucks.

[Donnie Rothschild]

It's like we're kind of like, just. He kind of threw the best parties.

[Duncan Trussell]

So it's like minus the, you know.

[Donnie Rothschild]

If. Yeah, if. But that. If that's your thing, you do that thing.

[Duncan Trussell]

I'm just saying you shouldn't do this. I mean, it's a. I think. I don't know exactly what's going on there. I'm pretty sure. Weren't they, like, putting GHB into massage ointment? Yeah.

[Donnie Rothschild]

To get us to. Have you ever done, like, the Cuban shuffle, Duncan? Like, really good.

[Duncan Trussell]

No.

[Donnie Rothschild]

Well, get a little GHP 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, I think it was a little overblown.

[Duncan Trussell]

Okay, so this is just probably another case of the lamestream media.

[Donnie Rothschild]

Lamestream media. The parties were fun. They were just jealous. It's like, you know, when the dorks made fun of the cool kids in high school. Like, those parties aren't even that cool. And they're probably fucking. It's them. They're just jealous.

[Duncan Trussell]

Sour grapes.

[Donnie Rothschild]

Sour grapes.

[Duncan Trussell]

Sour grapes. That's good to hear, man. Cause 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.

[Donnie Rothschild]

Yeah.

[Duncan Trussell]

Whereas most people don't, I think, you know, with some of the stuff coming out, there's a growing animosity towards where the. Your socioeconomic class resides.

[Donnie Rothschild]

And my thing is, like, just try again. Your next life. Just pray really hard.

[Duncan Trussell]

Yeah. You believe in reincarnation?

[Donnie Rothschild]

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.

[Duncan Trussell]

Those are heavy. That's a heavy. That's.

[Donnie Rothschild]

I'm just sick and tired of people going, oh, you're rich, you're privileged, you're dead. You were probably a bad guy in.

[Duncan Trussell]

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.

[Donnie Rothschild]

Exactly.

[Duncan Trussell]

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. Yes. So you didn't. You were born with more wealth than most people will ever have in their lives, Even millionaires.

[Donnie Rothschild]

Correct. But what's like, again, it's probably cause I was like a really dope guy the last life. 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, off 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 down. Yeah, I was like the.

[Duncan Trussell]

Yeah, it was a sick dude, save the gladiator stuff.

[Donnie Rothschild]

So that's my thing is anytime I see, like.

[Duncan Trussell]

But you think in a last life, you were probably, like, also like royalty or you get the sense of.

[Donnie Rothschild]

I just. Look at me like, I just feel.

[Duncan Trussell]

Like you've been doing this, like, this for a while.

[Donnie Rothschild]

That's why I kind of know I'm in, like, the groove. I know what I'm doing. I, you know, I'm in the right circles because I just feel comfortable there.

[Duncan Trussell]

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 is shouldn't even exist, doesn't mean you're a bad person. Correct.

[Donnie Rothschild]

I agree.

[Duncan Trussell]

And also.

[Donnie Rothschild]

And just cause 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.

[Duncan Trussell]

I think that's a message of hope a lot of people could really attach themselves to. It's beautiful.

[Donnie Rothschild]

And it's also harder to win a Grammy when you're rich.

[Duncan Trussell]

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 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?

[Donnie Rothschild]

The thing is, not as much anymore because I literally.

[Duncan Trussell]

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 ethereum, ethereal, beautiful high. That's my own subjective report. Maybe it'll work differently for you. And it's totally legal. You can find Amanita muscaria at gas stations. Wouldn't advise it. I've tried gas station Amanita muscaria and it sucks. But the good news is DTFH is supported by the beautiful mushroom alchemists at Amazon. Amantara. You can get completely legal Amanita 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, Amanito muscario 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's not what they're calling them. That's what I'm calling them. I don't want to get them sued or something. They're awesome. That's my main point. Fucking cool. If you actually want to know what Amanita feels like, they recommend starting one to three of Amantara's 500 milligram Amanita Muscaria capsules. That's usually where people hit that dreamy, euphoric, relaxed state. And here's the honest part. Don't discount Amanita if that doesn't take you there right away. Dosage can vary person to person. Some people need 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 [e-mail] go Duncan, use code Duncan for 22% off. That's amantara.com. god. Duncan, use code Duncan22 for 22% off. And make sure you Go on their website and check out the dosing recommendations. Remember, you can always take more, you can never take less.

[Donnie Rothschild]

Drown those people out. Like, if someone yells, nepo, baby, my security guard goes over there and just like, lets them know what it's about. Like, hey, he doesn't do that shit anymore.

[Duncan Trussell]

Right.

[Donnie Rothschild]

Cause I'm an award winner now, so you don't talk to me like that.

[Duncan Trussell]

Well. Cause it's not even true.

[Donnie Rothschild]

It's not even true. I worked my ass off.

[Duncan Trussell]

Yeah, you produced an incredible.

[Donnie Rothschild]

I hired 14 of the best producers to help me write this song. I hired 16.

[Duncan Trussell]

You exact EP'd.

[Donnie Rothschild]

Yeah, I hired 16 of the best directors to make the music video. You know, I put that all together and people say, oh, it's cause you have money. No, it's because I have money and I just have a cool vibe.

[Duncan Trussell]

Well, you wrote the lyrics to the song.

[Donnie Rothschild]

I wrote the lyrics, yeah, yeah. With 14 other guys. But I was the main vibe guy.

[Duncan Trussell]

Well, you know, what's the saying? The hand that holds the brush is not always the painter.

[Donnie Rothschild]

Exactly.

[Duncan Trussell]

You know, and 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.

[Donnie Rothschild]

Yep.

[Duncan Trussell]

And that's neither.

[Donnie Rothschild]

That's my style. I go, I go, this is the vibe.

[Duncan Trussell]

Yeah.

[Donnie Rothschild]

Get at it. And it better be done by tomorrow or else.

[Duncan Trussell]

Steve Jobs. Steve Jobs, look at that.

[Donnie Rothschild]

Steve Jobs, Adolf Hitler, all great producers.

[Duncan Trussell]

I never thought of Hiller as a producer.

[Donnie Rothschild]

Hitler was like. He was like, yeah. Hey, Goebbels, do your thing. Get out there, spread the word. I'm going to go.

[Duncan Trussell]

Yeah.

[Donnie Rothschild]

Fuck A for brown in the Eagle's Nest real quick this weekend. And that's the kind of guy I am.

[Duncan Trussell]

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.

[Donnie Rothschild]

There we go. Hans Zimmer for this part.

[Duncan Trussell]

Damn.

[Donnie Rothschild]

You can hear the bass.

[Duncan Trussell]

I can hear it, yeah.

[Donnie Rothschild (Singing/Character Voice)]

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.

[Duncan Trussell]

So good.

[Donnie Rothschild (Singing/Character Voice)]

We've tried to teach you a better way to be. But when we send our teachers, you nail them up on trees.

[Donnie Rothschild]

The religious imagery.

[Donnie Rothschild (Singing/Character Voice)]

Keep your population down because it will let you run.

[Donnie Rothschild]

That hand right there, that's Adele's hand we use.

[Duncan Trussell]

No, I thought I recognized it. Great message.

[Donnie Rothschild]

Yep. Come on. Everybody can relate to that.

[Donnie Rothschild (Singing/Character Voice)]

Please don't make us use the phone. The phone will reset things. And maybe that's okay for giving me one more chance before we wash away all of you peasants, replace you machines, to take this chance for what it is. Go to sleep and have good dreams.

[Duncan Trussell]

Yeah.

[Donnie Rothschild]

It'S just. Dude, it's just a fun. It's a fun bop.

[Duncan Trussell]

It's uplifting.

[Donnie Rothschild]

It's uplifting. It reminds people, like, what's going on.

[Duncan Trussell]

Yeah, right. Yeah.

[Donnie Rothschild]

Like, also, stay in line.

[Duncan Trussell]

Yeah. Oh, little robot kids sleeping.

[Donnie Rothschild]

The thing is, once we get the programming right, you can buy those robots one day.

[Duncan Trussell]

Like.

[Donnie Rothschild]

Yeah, we're going to be selling those robots.

[Duncan Trussell]

Robot kids.

[Donnie Rothschild]

Robot kids.

[Duncan Trussell]

Great. Wow. That is. You know what? Congratulations. Thanks for shaking, man. You deserve it. You and you and you put a lot of hard work in with a great team, and.

[Donnie Rothschild]

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 serum that makes people. You know.

[Duncan Trussell]

That's not real.

[Donnie Rothschild]

Yeah. Yeah. It's not real.

[Duncan Trussell]

I mean. No, you're funny. Like, guys. Hey, Josh.

[Donnie Rothschild]

It's not real.

[Duncan Trussell]

He's funny. He doesn't mean this guy. 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.

[Donnie Rothschild]

Can we stop saying elites? Can we just. Instead of elite. I hate that word. Elite.

[Duncan Trussell]

Sorry.

[Donnie Rothschild]

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 our N word, and I. I hate to it.

[Duncan Trussell]

Like, it's a slur, the pain, and you feel like it's a slur against the wealthy. I see that when a friend like.

[Donnie Rothschild]

You calls me an elite, it's like, I feel.

[Duncan Trussell]

I'm sorry.

[Donnie Rothschild]

I feel like you just ripped off my shirt and you're just whipping me on the back.

[Duncan Trussell]

You're a friend.

[Donnie Rothschild]

Yeah. So why don't you just.

[Duncan Trussell]

I'm sorry.

[Donnie Rothschild]

Don't elite just say, like, cool guys cool.

[Duncan Trussell]

Okay, well, you cool guys don't seem to be. You cool guys don't seem to have. Have the kind of situational awareness I think that I would expect people to have. You know, when you say jokes like that, that, you know, some kind of Barely veiled threat that if people keep sort of pushing back against power structures, you're gonna release a serum. People don't know you're joking.

[Donnie Rothschild]

And then they get, I'm not really a funny guy. I don't really joke.

[Duncan Trussell]

Well, that your video and everything.

[Donnie Rothschild]

That wasn't real. Those were like. That was like, I think a real mess. That wasn't really a joke.

[Duncan Trussell]

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. I get your. The only words that weren't blacked out were like, pizza.

[Donnie Rothschild]

I get. You're like, a white guy podcaster and you don't really probably have much to talk about, but, like, do we do. 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, to be honest. Like, if you think about it, talking about abstinence kind of hack. Like, that's like, if you're still doing, like, a tiger king joke.

[Duncan Trussell]

They just had hearing. They're having hearings where they're still doing that. Yeah, yeah. You didn't see the Pam Bondi thing where the survivors were there. She didn't look at them.

[Donnie Rothschild]

I don't really keep up. Dude. After he, like, died, because, like, yeah, we talked.

[Duncan Trussell]

You were clearly 100 to 100 emails.

[Donnie Rothschild]

Yeah, we talked.

[Duncan Trussell]

Like, about what?

[Donnie Rothschild]

Like, you said, pizza. I'm a big. I like pizza.

[Duncan Trussell]

He likes 100 pizza emails.

[Donnie Rothschild]

Yeah, we ordered pizza together. I got hungry in the store.

[Duncan Trussell]

Dude orders pizza together via email. How does that work? Why not just do text.

[Donnie Rothschild]

Emails easier?

[Duncan Trussell]

These are long. I don't know how long you have to explain your pizza already. This is.

[Donnie Rothschild]

Okay.

[Duncan Trussell]

These were missives.

[Donnie Rothschild]

You've never been at, like, hanging out with a friend. Hey, do you want to get pizza? Sure, sure. Of course. Should we get breadsticks? Ah, man, I'm actually trying to watch out how much bread I'm eating. Oh, should we get anchovies? I'm not a big in.

[Duncan Trussell]

What about pineapples?

[Donnie Rothschild]

What about pineapples? You know, it's the back.

[Duncan Trussell]

Yeah, okay.

[Donnie Rothschild]

Actually, I don't really like pineapple. Or let's get two stuffed cross and one regular. So it was just that kind of con, it's just a lot.

[Duncan Trussell]

Why would they black it out?

[Donnie Rothschild]

Because honestly, no one, no one needs to fucking know what I like on my pizza. That's my business.

[Duncan Trussell]

Like it, I get it. So it's an invasion.

[Donnie Rothschild]

It's an invasion of privacy. And it's like, shut the fuck. Like, it's my thing.

[Duncan Trussell]

It's your right.

[Donnie Rothschild]

With a buddy who died, like, are we really talking ill will of a guy that passed away? Like, that's on you.

[Duncan Trussell]

Like, is that not my intent? It's kind of sick that it wasn't my intent. I just listen, I'm trying to.

[Donnie Rothschild]

The guy died and we're just yapping about him.

[Duncan Trussell]

Like, sorry, I'm sorry for your loss.

[Donnie Rothschild]

Like, I honestly, I kind of, it's like, I don't want to talk about him. James Van Der Beek. Like, just guys that have died. Like, it's right. Let's be a Christian nation for once and just forget about it.

[Duncan Trussell]

Yeah, I didn't realize Christianity was your thing.

[Donnie Rothschild]

I love it. Yeah, Christianity is cool.

[Duncan Trussell]

What's your favorite thing about it?

[Donnie Rothschild]

The control.

[Duncan Trussell]

This episode of the DTFH has been supported by my friends at Folks Factor. And I do mean my friends. You see, pals, My wife just squeezed out another beautiful trussel 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 wasn't just bringing her 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 too hot cheese. So 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 in a hurry, fuck it. You know, why not just throw some hype or processed garbage into the microwave and just eat like I'm some 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, as 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.

[Donnie Rothschild]

I love the gold.

[Duncan Trussell]

Gold and gold stuff.

[Donnie Rothschild]

The stack, the big venues. I'm trying to open up a nightclub in the. The Vatican.

[Duncan Trussell]

Wow.

[Donnie Rothschild]

In the basement. It's gonna be like a very 150 people. All the tombs are with the. The fallen popes.

[Duncan Trussell]

That's interesting. Like, I know that the. I guess like I've heard maybe the Catholic church is getting, you know, slightly more liberal, but it seems like they. How are they going to let you open up like an actual. Like with alcohol sales and.

[Donnie Rothschild]

Oh, we're going to have the first open mali market in the.

[Duncan Trussell]

Cause it's the Vatican and it's different in a religious. Different laws. Yeah.

[Donnie Rothschild]

It's their own city, so they kind of run what. So we're gonna be selling molly. We're gonna have cocaine Wednesdays where you get a free line on your way in. We're gonna have, you know, paintbrush Tuesdays where you get to do LSD and then paint over.

[Duncan Trussell]

Fun.

[Donnie Rothschild]

Paint over.

[Duncan Trussell]

The Vatican is totally cool with that. They're just like, sure, Donnie, go ahead.

[Donnie Rothschild]

Well, because we know stuff. We. We kind of know stuff and about.

[Duncan Trussell]

The Bible and stuff.

[Donnie Rothschild]

Just about the people inside that church and they don't really want certain stuff out. So.

[Duncan Trussell]

So you're blackmailing the Vatican.

[Donnie Rothschild]

Blackmailing. Having a conversation, whatever you would like to say.

[Duncan Trussell]

You think blackmail is a word being overused these days? Cause of the Epstein list. Because it does appear in some of those emails that he was overtly blackmailing people.

[Donnie Rothschild]

And again, I think blackmail just seems so. It's like when you say elite, it's too.

[Duncan Trussell]

I'm sorry, it's like not.

[Donnie Rothschild]

It's mean spirited.

[Duncan Trussell]

Right?

[Donnie Rothschild]

I like to say, if you don't give me 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 to, you know, like, I know one priest that like, so.

[Duncan Trussell]

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.

[Donnie Rothschild]

Thank you.

[Duncan Trussell]

As a 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 growth, growing sense that you can't become a cool guy unless you're born as a cool guy.

[Donnie Rothschild]

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. Try, like try to become a cool guy.

[Duncan Trussell]

But it seems just sort of based on the growing disparity between cool guys and not cool. It used to be there was sort of a cool guy, the middle class or about to be a cool guy. But that's seems like that's going away like a sick.

[Donnie Rothschild]

There used to be sick dudes. Yeah, there used to be sick dudes and then cool guys.

[Duncan Trussell]

So, yeah, sick dudes.

[Donnie Rothschild]

Sick dudes are gone. Are kind of gone.

[Duncan Trussell]

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 everybody else. And you know, when, when that seems to be a potentially a security risk, wouldn't you say?

[Donnie Rothschild]

When you. What do you really want a room full of cool guys then? Because then it's less cool. The thing is, it's like if everybody.

[Duncan Trussell]

Was a cool guy, everybody was a cool guy.

[Donnie Rothschild]

If everybody. No cool guys, there would be no cool guys.

[Duncan Trussell]

Right. You know, if I, I see what you're saying. So like, if every, you know, in other words, like let's say, like for.

[Donnie Rothschild]

Instance, if everybody had an Epstein's Island, Epstein's island wouldn't have been that special.

[Duncan Trussell]

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. So you're saying if that happened, then there would be no more cool guys.

[Donnie Rothschild]

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 just take two weeks off. I kind of want to know that my barista is gonna be there, whether she has the flu, whether she's mom's passed, she knows how to make my coffee, right? I don't want. Oh, I'm gonna go hang out with my daughter. You know, I'm gonna take her to Disneyland. Like, I don't want some schmuck coming in, ruining my coffee. So I think, right. I love those people.

[Duncan Trussell]

So that's probably. That's like a real problem for cool guys is that sometimes the not cool guys don't wanna go to work, and the cool guys wanna 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.

[Donnie Rothschild]

Yeah, it's just like, we like you. That's why we're like.

[Duncan Trussell]

Right.

[Donnie Rothschild]

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 easier.

[Duncan Trussell]

Serve.

[Donnie Rothschild]

You help. I like to say help. Serve. Seems a little.

[Duncan Trussell]

They help the cool guys.

[Donnie Rothschild]

They help the cool guy. You're our little partner. You're a little.

[Duncan Trussell]

That's okay. That's a. That's. See, but I feel like these are the kinds of messages that the cool guys need to be getting out into the world.

[Donnie Rothschild]

That's why I make music.

[Duncan Trussell]

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. 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. And just dispose of or exploit to some degree. That. That's Kind of the sense a lot of people are getting.

[Donnie Rothschild]

The thing is, my driver got mad at me a while back because I used to. For, like, 20 years. I called him, 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 Little Helper. He goes, this seems great.

[Duncan Trussell]

Yeah, it's a little condescending.

[Donnie Rothschild]

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.

[Duncan Trussell]

Right.

[Donnie Rothschild]

I'm the. And you're helping me. Without you, we're. I'm gonna drive.

[Duncan Trussell]

Who is Santa without the elves?

[Donnie Rothschild]

Exactly.

[Duncan Trussell]

Who.

[Donnie Rothschild]

You're a little. You're a little more worker B. And as Santa, I love you. The thing is, what. We tell that story to our children.

[Duncan Trussell]

Yeah.

[Donnie Rothschild]

Santa's the man. And he has, like, these little. Not little elves someone makes. Hey, is there a movie called, you know, Little Elves? No. There's Santa Claus 1, Santa Claus 2, Santa Claus 3. All movies are about Santa. The big guy, the cool guy.

[Duncan Trussell]

Right.

[Donnie Rothschild]

That's who we are.

[Duncan Trussell]

He's kind of like the Andy Warhol of Christmas. He's surrounded by other artists that no one will ever hear about, but, like, also arguably out. I mean, lifting some of their talent for his own.

[Donnie Rothschild]

Exactly, dude. And that's the message. I'm just trying to say, just because you're not a cool guy.

[Duncan Trussell]

Right.

[Donnie Rothschild]

Doesn't mean you don't have purpose. We need you and we love you.

[Duncan Trussell]

Right.

[Donnie Rothschild]

But it's just like, when you guys come after us, it's really making it hard to really like you guys anymore.

[Duncan Trussell]

So, yeah, it's kind of like you're.

[Donnie Rothschild]

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.

[Duncan Trussell]

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, week or so, OpenAI released a new model of GPT. Anthropic, released another version of Claude. Claude Opus Something. And weirdly, during 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.

[Donnie Rothschild]

Would you. The Wall Street Journal's gonna be pissed about this. But I like you and I really appreciate it. Especially you changing the terminology. You, like, learn fast.

[Duncan Trussell]

Yeah.

[Donnie Rothschild]

And that's why you. You. You are my favorite, like, you know, little helper. That's why you're one of my favorite little helpers. Thank you. And so I. I guess. Josh, I sent 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. They're struggling and, you know, they want more fulfillment in their life. And. It's called Donnie's World.

[Duncan Trussell]

I feel. 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, looks like a hospital. He's in a pod of sorts. So what's this?

[Donnie Rothschild]

So this is how we're gonna get you into Donnie's World.

[Duncan Trussell]

Donnie's World?

[Donnie Rothschild]

Yeah, it's like a fun new place. A new virtual hangout.

[Duncan Trussell]

Like a video game.

[Donnie Rothschild]

Video game? I wouldn't say game. It's not a game.

[Duncan Trussell]

So what happen.

[Donnie Rothschild]

We're not playing games here. This is like. This is the new reality.

[Duncan Trussell]

So this is like VR. You go in this. It projects you into some kind of world or something.

[Donnie Rothschild]

No, no, no. So we sit you in there and we take out all your, like, your vital fluids and, like, your. Your. 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.

[Duncan Trussell]

So you're go. You Wait, you're saying you, you. You. What. What about the body? What about you what?

[Donnie Rothschild]

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

[Duncan Trussell]

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.

[Donnie Rothschild]

Correct. But we're like. Yeah, but we're getting rid of your body. We're gonna be retooling your body because there's 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.

[Duncan Trussell]

Right?

[Donnie Rothschild]

There's only a couple of us. Everybody else.

[Duncan Trussell]

It's almost like you're, like, you could almost like there's probably more endangered tigers than there are cool guys.

[Donnie Rothschild]

Yeah. We are an endangered species.

[Duncan Trussell]

How does this work?

[Donnie Rothschild]

Like, so we're. So we're gonna start out picking, I think, people that are struggling the most. I think we're gonna like people on welfare, the homeless. We're gonna start taking them because their life here on this world isn't going. It's brutal. It's. It sucks to see. So what we're doing is because.

[Duncan Trussell]

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 gonna 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 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 gotten into therapy sooner. I'm telling you, maybe Freud, Jung, 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.

[Donnie Rothschild]

Legally we need their approval, we need their signature. We can't just, we just can't just take them, put them in Donnie's world. Even though if I did it would, I would be helping them out.

[Duncan Trussell]

Right?

[Donnie Rothschild]

But so we're doing a thing like a little offer for the first six months if you, the, if you sign up earlier, you're gonna have a better life in Donnie's world. Really?

[Duncan Trussell]

So there's different kinds of lives in Donnie's world?

[Donnie Rothschild]

Yeah, you get a pick. So we're gonna have like musicians, we're have politicians, we're presidents, we're gonna have, you know, so the jobs are gonna fill up. Some jobs, there's a lot of, you know. So you don't want to sign up late because you don't want to go into Donnie's world and just be a non cool guy.

[Duncan Trussell]

Right?

[Donnie Rothschild]

You could be a little, you could, if you wait too long, you might be a little helper here and then also be a little helper.

[Duncan Trussell]

You don't want that.

[Donnie Rothschild]

You don't want that. So sign up quick.

[Duncan Trussell]

Okay.

[Donnie Rothschild]

You could be.

[Duncan Trussell]

Anyone can do this, anyone can do that. Okay guys, down below, I'll put the link if you're interested in going to Donnie's World. So let's see it. What do we got. Can you show me Donnie's.

[Donnie Rothschild]

This is again. The Wall Street Journal is going to be pissed, but thank you. I like you. And I want to give you the exclusive.

[Duncan Trussell]

Exclusive on the dtfh. Here we go.

[Donnie Rothschild]

Ready? Let's go. Look how excited he is. So fun. Little process, a little screen comes up.

[Duncan Trussell]

Yep. And then.

[Donnie Rothschild]

And that's.

[Duncan Trussell]

That's the stuff you were talking. The plasma.

[Donnie Rothschild]

That's the plasma. All the goop. And look at him now.

[Duncan Trussell]

Back into my body.

[Donnie Rothschild]

Everything's better in Donny World. Look how happy I am.

[Duncan Trussell]

Can you pause it, Josh?

[Donnie Rothschild]

Yeah.

[Duncan Trussell]

Just to be clear. So this. You're saying that that guy who just, I guess, got liquefied, for lack of a better word, his consciousness is now in this sort of minecrafty place.

[Donnie Rothschild]

So that was my old college roommate, Steven. And his life was just falling apart. You know, job, you know, he had a. He had a wife and kids or whatever. But, like, they kind. They were just lame. Like, they. His wife would get mad when we'd go out, you know.

[Duncan Trussell]

Yeah.

[Donnie Rothschild]

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?

[Duncan Trussell]

Yeah.

[Donnie Rothschild]

Do you want to be the king of your own universe? So he signed up first, and look what he has is a castle that.

[Duncan Trussell]

His castle.

[Donnie Rothschild]

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 castle.

[Duncan Trussell]

Can he feel? You can feel in there?

[Donnie Rothschild]

Yeah, you can feel you can do whatever. There are no laws in his castle. He can do. You know, he loved the diddy parties, so Stevie loved going to the diddy parties, so he's basically recreating that in there, in that castle.

[Duncan Trussell]

Can you keep playing it? I guess.

[Donnie Rothschild]

Josh.

[Duncan Trussell]

Wow. This is crazy technology.

[Donnie Rothschild]

Yeah. Look how happy he is. I love. Water.

[Donnie Rothschild (Singing/Character Voice)]

Only smile in Donny World ain't no frowns on me I'm so happy in Donnie world. Cause in Donny World I'm free. Do you have to pay your rent? Heck, no.

[Duncan Trussell]

Do you ever get sick?

[Donnie Rothschild]

Heck no.

[Donnie Rothschild (Singing/Character Voice)]

Do you remember your past?

[Duncan Trussell]

No.

[Donnie Rothschild (Singing/Character Voice)]

Cause the present'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 Donnie World and be who you were meant to be?

[Donnie Rothschild]

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.

[Duncan Trussell]

So those are all people who had their bodies liquefied.

[Donnie Rothschild]

These are all people 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 at 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.

[Duncan Trussell]

Well, it's like this smiley face emoji.

[Donnie Rothschild]

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, sexism, we deal with homophobia. Here, everybody's the same.

[Duncan Trussell]

Yeah. They don't even seem like they have, like. Unless you wait gender.

[Donnie Rothschild]

Unless you wait. So to sign up for Donnie's World, the longer you wait, the darker the yellow gets. And.

[Duncan Trussell]

Right.

[Donnie Rothschild]

You don't want to be a dark yellow.

[Duncan Trussell]

So what?

[Donnie Rothschild]

You don't want to be a dark yellow in Donnie's World, do you?

[Duncan Trussell]

Do you guys?

[Donnie Rothschild]

I'm sorry, I'm just getting emotional.

[Duncan Trussell]

Yeah, me too.

[Donnie Rothschild]

Just seeing my. My. My little. My little guys.

[Duncan Trussell]

I never thought this kind of tech would exist.

[Donnie Rothschild]

My little guys. Look at them. They're thriving, man. These. They're so happy.

[Duncan Trussell]

And so do you guys. Do you think cool guys are eventually gonna dissolve their bodies and go into Donnie's world, too?

[Donnie Rothschild]

No, that's for them. I don't wanna. That's. I want. That's for guys like that. That's for that. Cause I don't wanna. Because I'm gonna go in there and I've experienced it. I'm experiencing it here.

[Duncan Trussell]

Right.

[Donnie Rothschild]

So let me just have this world.

[Duncan Trussell]

Yeah.

[Donnie Rothschild]

You guys enjoy that.

[Duncan Trussell]

So you bait.

[Donnie Rothschild]

I'm kind of being nice. I'm being sweet.

[Duncan Trussell]

I mean, it's. Before we keep playing, 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. To keep rich people alive while they go into this sort of Minecraft world.

[Donnie Rothschild]

See, the thing is, it might sound like that.

[Duncan Trussell]

It seems like it's exactly what it is.

[Donnie Rothschild]

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.

[Duncan Trussell]

Yeah.

[Donnie Rothschild]

[Duncan Trussell]

I don't think I'm trying to get close. I think it's just clearly like you. You. It's like, it seems like cool guys want to liquefy poor people.

[Donnie Rothschild]

Again, it's negative. Duncan, I don't mean to be. Nay, 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. 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? Why are you bringing up any. Just say, holy shit, this is duh.

[Duncan Trussell]

Well, I get it. Cause you do.

[Donnie Rothschild]

You are.

[Duncan Trussell]

Listen, this is what I love about being your little helper is that you.

[Donnie Rothschild]

You do.

[Duncan Trussell]

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.

[Donnie Rothschild]

Yeah.

[Duncan Trussell]

The complete collapse of society. Of society. And when that happens, do you really want to be in that kind of world when, you know, a lot of people can't afford health insurance? And so I'm assuming these little emojis don't get sick in there.

[Donnie Rothschild]

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.

[Duncan Trussell]

Thank you.

[Donnie Rothschild]

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 want. He was greedy. Greedy. And so that's why I put them. I convinced him to 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.

[Duncan Trussell]

I might.

[Donnie Rothschild]

I have to put you in. 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.

[Duncan Trussell]

Like having you or my children or your.

[Donnie Rothschild]

I like having you guys.

[Duncan Trussell]

You know, it does that, though. But, you know, I don't want to be negative, and I don't want to upset you or any of the other.

[Donnie Rothschild]

Cool guys, so just watch your words.

[Duncan Trussell]

Okay? Let's keep rolling this thing.

[Donnie Rothschild]

You're the devil. I don't know why you have him on this podcast. He's the devil. Shut the up.

[Duncan Trussell]

Shut the up. Just shut him. All right?

[Donnie Rothschild]

I don't. I don't speak Spanish.

[Duncan Trussell]

Sorry. Yeah, he's. It's.

[Donnie Rothschild]

I didn't. I did not understand.

[Duncan Trussell]

Donnie. I'm sorry. Josh is.

[Donnie Rothschild]

It's cool that you're.

[Duncan Trussell]

Yeah, Josh is getting off. Lexapro. Let's. Are you serious? Just play the thing, Josh, where you're.

[Donnie Rothschild (Singing/Character Voice)]

Not free, so why not move to Donnie World and be who you were meant to be? Donny World. I'm moving to Donnie World.

[Duncan Trussell]

Catchy.

[Donnie Rothschild (Singing/Character Voice)]

Leave my body at the door. What the heck was that? Body for Donny World. Let's move to Donny World.

[Donnie Rothschild]

We have birds, blue birds. You can have red birds, brown birds, black birds, whatever you want. People are flying. That's cool as hell.

[Duncan Trussell]

What was that at the end that they all did? They made, like, a pentagram star?

[Donnie Rothschild]

No, it was cool. That was just. That's the symbol. That's our symbol of Donnie World. That is your God. That is your temple. The. That is who you pray to in Donnie World.

[Duncan Trussell]

Well, Donnie, I want to thank you so much for coming on the show and apologize for Josh's belligerence.

[Donnie Rothschild]

It's. It's fine. Josh, actually.

[Duncan Trussell]

Josh, please don't do anything after this episode.

[Donnie Rothschild]

Let's talk. I know.

[Duncan Trussell]

Don't talk to him.

[Donnie Rothschild]

We actually have a new opening in.

[Duncan Trussell]

Donnie's World, so I need him as a podcast. Please, just. Donnie, I know you are, man. Just go.

[Donnie Rothschild]

Need a custodian.

[Duncan Trussell]

Your blood sugar. Just get. Go get it. Go get a coffee or something. I'm telling you, I'll talk to him. That will never happen again. Josh, do you think you could please just apologize to Donnie Rothschild?

[Donnie Rothschild]

Sure.

[Duncan Trussell]

I'm sorry, Satan. All right. Thank you guys for watching. Thank you, Donnie. Sorry that it. We had to end on that.

[Donnie Rothschild]

What the was that? And who the dude? Get rid of him. He sucks.

[Duncan Trussell]

He's. He's a good guy. Dude. That was. That was Donnie Rothchild, everybody. Yeah, well, yeah, thank you. We'll be back next week. Just shut it off, Josh. We gotta talk.
