Their skiff'd have ever received has to be a bike when I was younger, a pedal bike.

0:07.0

It was a sort of slick little road bike and I remember it was all like it was so it was all wrapped up

0:12.7

but it was so obvious what it was obviously because nothing shaped like a bike and had a little ribbon on it

0:16.4

and I was so gas. For that was a life changer and I'm still sort of big on cycling around my area now

0:21.7

so for that one change really a little.

Welcome to the Midas Touch Podcast, Penn's Bread and Jordy fighting for democracy with you each and every day happy

1:15.3

and the president's day to all those in the United States of America and for all those watching from abroad wondering what president's day is used to be a very dignified day where we respected our presidents where we appreciated the accomplishments of our presidents.

1:33.3

We still do that as the pro democracy party but for the radical right extremist GQ peers they are using it for politicization and I'll discuss with you in a short while the consistent with their low character post that the GOP made today but first I want to tell everyone about our incredible guest who will be on the podcast today.

2:00.3

You probably know him for his incredible impressions Matt friend will be joining Matt friend describes himself as an old soul living inside a 23 year old comedian actor impression this is body I gotta ask and that's his own bio I presume.

2:17.3

Matt friend is hilarious.

2:37.3

He's incredible Trump he does Ted Cruz he does Barack Obama he does celebrity is like Ramy Malik and Jeff Goldbloom he does Mitch McConnell did I say Mitch McConnell already he does Howard Stern John Oliver Dr. Fauci like

2:50.3

he does so good you know what I love about the impressions what he like transforms his entire face into the character when he does it right when he does Mitch like all the sudden he's a 23 year old all the sudden he looks like Mitch McConnell somehow when he does so we get a talk to him about that he's been also like doing all these videos where it appears like he just runs into celebrities on the street in like New York City like I'll just run into Jeff Goldbloom run into John Alvarum curious to see if those were staged how how is he just running

3:18.3

into all these famous people but I've seen him like on today show you know what he was on we with the Fox LA did a special on might as touch a few months back about everything that we were doing and he was actually on the same episode as us I wonder if he remembers that with Alex Michael send

3:34.3

who's an incredible journalist out here now lay so excited to dig into everything with Matt friend then here's some here's some of his great impressions and bring him to you or maybe we're actually having Mitch McConnell and Howard Stern and and Dr. Fauci on the podcast will let you decide because it's I don't know we'll see let's talk about this tweet I was referring to from the GOP it's as happy presidents day to such great US presidents and then Biden's in the middle wearing a mask and then we're going to do that.

4:02.3

And then Biden's in the middle wearing a mask and it says not you one of the things of course that they hate about president Biden is that president Biden was trying to figure out ways and continues to try to figure out ways to stop a pandemic that just drives the current GOP crazy how dare you tried to stop a global pandemic that is killing millions of people across the world.

4:26.3

4:44.3

There's literally no view that this Republican party has that in any way aligns with the values of Lincoln they literally fly Confederate flags.

4:56.3

Yeah it drives me crazy that the Republicans the modern day Republicans try to claim Lincoln as their own here's my Confederate flag let's go Lincoln.

5:06.3

I don't even know what would let's go Lincoln mean I guess let's go Lincoln might mean F Lincoln in their mind so I really think it about it you know Republicans like to call everybody rhinos it's like their word to sure they like your right or your right or your Republican name only is what it stands for.

5:24.3
