Hello friends and welcome to TalkNurdy. I'm your host Kara Santa Maria and I am

speaking to you from the future. Actually that's not true. I'm speaking to you from the past, obviously. And that's partly because I am out of the country right now. But I did not want to skip a beat. I did not want to miss an episode of Talk Nurdy so I made sure to record this special episode ahead of time so that you guys would not have to miss a week of the program.

Now because of that I don't have the names of those of you who have

made donations to help support the podcast recently. I apologize for that and I promise you

I will read them live on the air next week. And hey big thank you to those of you who

have those of you who plan on donating to the podcast to help support it to help

me continue to provide quality content at absolutely

no cost to any of you listeners and those of you who support the podcast in other

ways by rating and reviewing on iTunes or Stitcher, by spreading the word

and introducing other people to talk nerdy, I thank each and every one of you as well.

All right guys, my guest today is comedian Dave Rubin.

You may know him from Twitter at Rubin Report

or from his excellent web series,

the Rubin Report that you can find on TYT networks.

Dave, thanks so much for joining me today.

Kara, it is good to be here.

Yay!

But we're here, we're here in my place. I know, I'm joining you actually.

So you made this very easy for me. I did. I did. I like having a portable setup.

It's quite nice. I love your portable setup. This is fancy. There's a lot of wires, but there are a lot of wires. It's very futury and there's really a lot of wires, but this is very futury and there's really only like four major what.

People ask me all the time what I use, why don't I tell you?

I use an Apogee duet, which is like like I don't even know how to describe it
