0:00.0	Hey everyone, hi, hello, it is me, Allison Rosen. Welcome to another exciting episode of
0:28.0	Allison Rosen, is your new best friend. I'm sitting here in dining room studios with return
0:33.6	guest Bobcat Gulfwait. Hello, hello, how about giving it up for the band first? I know. They don't
0:39.6	ever get it. They don't get there do. No, they don't. They don't get or any other fine beverages that
0:48.0	is loaded with sugar. But you know what, they don't do it for the acclaim. They do it for the passion.
0:52.8	And they love the music. Exactly. And playing in a nook. Right. I have them in a tiny band nook.
1:01.9	So a lot has changed since I last saw you. For one, you're on Twitter. You are a pretty anti-twitter
1:08.2	before. Yeah, yeah. Grandpa's on Twitter. But only because I'm promoting my fine new motion picture.
1:17.0	But I think you're on Twitter before. Yes. But it's just I realized that there was

2:01.5	you know, mute is the greatest thing ever. I mean, it's so wonderful. It's so wonderful. It's so
2:06.7	because the opposite of love isn't, hey, you know, it's that someone doesn't exist. It's mute. Yeah. Yeah.
2:12.4	I love the mute. There's some guy on a big brother who I guess sounds like the persona that I
2:22.3	did in the 80s and it's fine if you want to use me as a punchline. That's, you know, I'm
2:29.1	someone that's been in pop culture for years. But I don't know the need for people to tag me
