I've been writing poetry since kindergarten.

It shows. Treasure the Dawn is really quite nice. I mean,

Silence shares secrets if you have the courage to listen. And he who listens earns the right to be heard.

Bars.

So are we just going to ... take this at face value? C'mon, "Two sides to every story" and what not.

I find it hard to believe that Harley -- who frequently invites guests on his show, makes appearances on other channels, and whose persona is basically the entire reason for his success -- was just an out-and-out asshole to a good friend for personal gain.

You certainly don't seem to have a problem affiliating yourself with EMT to get publicity for your new app.

It's not. Ben Rhodes did dupe Wasserman Schultz. And, in fact, most of the American public.

From the New York Times Magazine:

In the spring of last year, legions of arms-control experts began popping up at think tanks and on social media, and then became key sources for hundreds of often-clueless reporters. ‘We created an echo chamber,’ [Rhodes] admitted, when I asked him to explain the onslaught of freshly minted experts cheerleading for the deal. ‘They were saying things that validated what we had given them to say.’

Later:

Rhodes has become adept at ventriloquizing many people at once. Ned Price, Rhodes’s assistant, gave me a primer on how it’s done. The easiest way for the White House to shape the news, he explained, is from the briefing podiums…. ‘But then there are sort of these force multipliers,’ he said, adding, ‘We have our compadres, I will reach out to a couple people, and you know I wouldn’t want to name them—‘ ‘I can name them,’ I said, ticking off a few names of prominent Washington reporters and columnists who often tweet in sync with White House messaging. Price laughed. ‘I’ll say, “Hey, look, some people are spinning this narrative that this is a sign of American weakness,”’ he continued, ‘but—In fact it’s a sign of strength!’.

And worst of all:

Rhodes singled out a key example to me one day, laced with the brutal contempt that is a hallmark of his private utterances. “All these newspapers used to have foreign bureaus,” he said. “Now they don’t. They call us to explain to them what’s happening in Moscow and Cairo. Most of the outlets are reporting on world events from Washington. The average reporter we talk to is 27 years old, and their only reporting experience consists of being around political campaigns. That’s a sea change. They literally know nothing.”

Literally everything you think you know about the Iran deal was spoonfed to you by the White House.

Oh my gosh. I love it so much.

Question: Are you using some kind of noise gate on your mic set-up? It's so deathly quiet when you're not speaking.

MG Split mostly-amicably from the group because of creative differences. There was a whole video on it. Now, MG is doing his own thing on Youtube but appears to have some degree of affiliation with Epic Meal Time -- he literally says he's still affiliated with them on his Twitter bio.

And if you're contractually/legally obligated not to talk about something and you start a thread about that very thing on a forum called ask me ANYTHING, you might be a few bacon strips short of a pig, if you know what I'm saying.
