There aren't a lot of things that you respond to when people go off like this because you say things like,

1:11.2

oh, you know, consider the source or where this is coming from or maybe people don't know who this guy is or maybe it's someone on X. I mean, I do know who he is. I had listened to the Levittar show, so I'm not going to just sit here and say, like, I don't know who he is. I'm familiar with him. And some people go off and they say things and it's whatever. But it was just the inaccuracy of some of the things that he was saying that made me feel like I needed to open with it and kind of refute that stuff. Now, I don't want to sit here and go back and forth and call him a bunch of names too because I don't think that gets us anywhere. But what it seemed like to me,

1:14.7

and I don't know if you agree or not, but what it seemed like to me was this is a lot of misguided anger, that this guy is very angry politically about things are going on. Maybe there's

1:21.7

people in his life or others that he has stayed silent about. But then this boomer thing comes

1:26.7

across his plate and he all of a sudden just explodes

1:30.5

and all the things that we're bubbling up in him about whoever that he's been annoyed with comes

1:36.3

out in the direction of it all goes to Boomer.

1:39.7

Because a lot of these things that he's saying, he clearly doesn't know Boomer and the show.

1:45.8

And what I mean by that is when he's going on, and if you haven't seen this, the guy's name is Mike Ruiz, is a producer of the Dan Levitard show.

1:55.8

He said to Boomer, quit being a P word, put your name to it, say what you effing mean.

2:05.4

All right. So to Mike Ruiz, I sit next to Boomer five days a week, four hours a day.

2:11.9

I wish he would say what he meant less, to be honest with you.

2:16.6

Yeah. So you don't know what you're talking about. Now, I'm never, ever going to tell boomers, stop doing this, stop doing that, whatever. But there are times where he'll jam politics into conversations that I'm like, that was unnecessary. And taxes. Yeah. And that was unnecessary. And I'm like, now I've got to find a way out of it, but that's what he wants to do.

2:34.9

He's earned that ability to say all of these things that he wants with this platform.

2:39.5

But to sit here and say that he is on here giving you some sort of coded message because he's afraid to say what he wants,

2:48.2

and he's a P word, is just completely misinformed. It's wrong. Now, I'm not going to say that it's lies because I just don't think he knows the answer. I don't think he knows and he's lying about it, Michael Ruiz. I think that he's just misguide. He just doesn't have the information. He's just screaming about whatever that he's annoyed about and is putting Boomer in a category that he's not in.

3:09.3

So, I mean, that's really, you know, the biggest part about it.

3:13.0

You know, say it with your chest.

3:14.3

Say what you mean.
