Dan Swerdlove (0:49)

Cut back.

What?

Dan Swerdlove (0:51)

Whose shot is this supposed to be?

SPEAKER_8 (0:53)

My shot, what do you mean?

Dan Swerdlove (0:55)

Well, I do see you in there, but I also see, I think, everyone.

SPEAKER_1 (0:59)

Yeah, we should address that.

SPEAKER_8 (1:00)

I agree. We should address that. I don't like you guys being in my shot.

Dan Swerdlove (1:04)

Well, when your shot looks like that, I'm not sure what can really be done about that.

SPEAKER_8 (1:08)

Nothing's changed.

SPEAKER_7 (1:09)

I don't get it. I don't like that box in the background. I got it.

SPEAKER_8 (1:14)

That might be filled with things.

It's my stuff, actually. It's in my shot.

Dan Swerdlove (1:20)

Okay, we'll address this later, love. Welcome to the show, everyone. Thank you for being here. My name is Dan Swerdlove. I'm your fill-in host today because our regular host, who you may know as Ethan.

SPEAKER_1 (1:32)

Wait, who?

SPEAKER_9 (1:33)

Ethan Klein.

SPEAKER_1 (1:34)

I don't remember.

Dan Swerdlove (1:35)

He's generally the one sitting here in the seat.

SPEAKER_8 (1:37)

It's been a while now, so I...

Dan Swerdlove (1:38)

Hello, Douglas.

SPEAKER_9 (1:40)

Eat your peas, Dan.

Dan Swerdlove (1:42)

It's too early. It's too early for this, Douglas. Stop.

SPEAKER_1 (1:46)

Thank you. Go.

Dan Swerdlove (1:48)

Listen to that guy.

Listen, Ethan Klein, he is still infirmed. I know yesterday on the Members episode, I said that he would likely be better and be back today, but he sent a message at about 6 a.m. this morning, profusely apologizing, saying, I am so sorry, guys. I am still so sick. My voice is completely gone.

That's what he... Yeah, he sent a voice note. Can you play that again? Yeah, that's Ethan. So sorry. Yeah, that's all we've heard from him. So yeah, he said he couldn't be here. And then he said, if we could have the day off, or we could do the episode without him, whatever we wanted to do. And I said, you know what?

SPEAKER_8 (2:37)

Yeah.

Dan Swerdlove (2:39)

We're gonna do the podcast show.

SPEAKER_8 (2:41)

You guys deserve a show.

Dan Swerdlove (2:43)

Because the COVID flu lobby, the shot lobby, the pharmaceutical industry, they don't control us. They don't control this show. And when it goes on the air, we're standing up to them here. We're standing in solidarity.

SPEAKER_6 (2:55)

Oh, I don't know.

Dan Swerdlove (2:56)

With our wonderful human, what, what, health secretary?

SPEAKER_6 (3:01)

Anyway.

Dan Swerdlove (3:02)

Anyway, I don't, whatever his title.

SPEAKER_4 (3:03)

Secretary of Health.

Dan Swerdlove (3:04)

We stand in solidarity.

Right, I'm seeing in the chat that I actually announced that he was dead yesterday. And that is not true.

SPEAKER_4 (3:15)

Proven.

SPEAKER_7 (3:16)

Someone in chat, someone in chat just said AIDS.

Dan Swerdlove (3:21)

You think he has AIDS?

SPEAKER_7 (3:23)

I mean, I'm just saying someone in chat said that.

SPEAKER_1 (3:25)

What does this guy have fucking AIDS or some shit?

SPEAKER_7 (3:27)

They say a lot of things.

Dan Swerdlove (3:28)

That, I don't think he has AIDS, and that's not, that's not really cool to joke about.

SPEAKER_9 (3:32)

AIDS is a very serious deadly disease.

SPEAKER_7 (3:35)

Yeah, King Triton 7202

Dan Swerdlove (3:39)

Well, he said it in the chat, but you said it on the air.

SPEAKER_8 (3:41)

He might have been talking about something else.

SPEAKER_7 (3:44)

For a split second, I didn't think Ethan had AIDS, but I was like, his immune system is pretty fucked, bro. Pretty, maybe comparable immune systems. I don't know.

Dan Swerdlove (3:53)

Oh my God.

Anyways, he thinks if he takes another day today to rest up, he'll be okay by tomorrow. And we sure hope that that will be the case because tomorrow is a big episode. Now, some of you that may not be members, didn't see the members episode yesterday where we announced this, so I will announce it again today. Due to various circumstances surrounding the crew and Ethan, we've had to shuffle around the movie reviews a little bit.
