Chapter 1: What happens during Trump's inauguration?
Well, if he didn't have memento disease, then yeah, he would absolutely be the dumbest senator in history. But he does have it, so he isn't. I'm doing a walk for the cure next week. What are you doing to give back, Ronnie?
I have a metal straw that I'll remember to use someday. But anyway, Troy, come on. They can't all have medical issues with seeing Jan 6 footage.
They do. OK. Lauren Boebert was hypnotized at a child's birthday party and just never fully recovered. Rick Scott, he couldn't see the footage because he's actually half horse. So he always has those those blinders on. And Tim Burchett couldn't see it because he got kicked in the head by Rick Scott because he walked behind him too quickly and it spooked him.
And, oh, oh, oh, and John Thunes' eyes don't work because he once saw a pretty lady walk by and they went, boing, oing, oing, oing, and they just, they never went back into his head. Yeah.
Do you think that's funny, Ronnie? I guess I need to be more sensitive to Republicans going forward.
Yeah, you should. Because there's a lot of things coming down the pipeline the next four years that they're not going to be able to see or hear. or remember, or legislate against, or understand, or consider, or acknowledge. Okay, okay, okay.
I guess I should be also more respectful of people who can't watch Jan 6 footage the way you and I have.
Oh, I haven't seen the January 6 footage. Do you also have one of those diseases? No, no. It just sounded so depressing. I don't need that in my life. Okay, okay.
Troy Watt, everybody. When we come back... We're checking on Trump's opposition, so don't go away. You can't see it?

Chapter 2: How does Trump react to church sermons?
I did. I was with the Roots. Shout out to the legendary Roots crew.
Yeah. No, that makes sense. I saw a video of Questlove DJing in a pub in Australia, and I was like, what's he doing there? And you guys were on tour doing music. We were.
Those guys are amazing, and I'm happy to share the road with them.
Yeah, I used to live in, I lived in Australia for like 10 years. How was it for you?
It was good. Being an American, traveling abroad is very interesting.
How so?
People have a lot of questions. A lot of questions. Thank you for coming to my show at City Winery.
Appreciate that. I'm a huge fan. I'm a real... I'm like playing it cool right now, but I'm like a huge fan of yours and I've been like following your music. I'm a fan of yours. No, no, that's very, yeah, I don't, that's very kind. I feel so embarrassed that you even said that in front of people.
But one thing I love, like I, you know, I listen to albums and you, you know, I think you've been in this game for like 30 years now. I feel like, correct me if I'm wrong, I feel like most of it you've been kind of like almost pushing it indie style. Yeah, most of it, yeah. For most of it.
