=== Drill's Disappointment (03:04) ===

[00:00:02]  All right, the last thing we're going to talk about, we're going to go out on, is did everybody see that Drill from Twitter did a Washington Post interview?
[00:00:15]  I did not see that.
[00:00:17]  Yeah, the interview itself is great.
[00:00:20]  It's extremely funny.
[00:00:23]  I don't want to read through it because everybody can just do that on their own.
[00:00:27]  But I'll read this one part just so people can get an idea of it.
[00:00:33]  Okay, so Drill is disappointed that he seemingly wouldn't be able to monetize negative posts under Musk's regime.
[00:00:39]  Because this is about how Elon said he's going to suppress negative posts.
[00:00:44]  Yeah.
[00:00:45]  The quote from Drill here is, it'd be nice to get a little something in the mail every once in a while for all the content that I put my blood on the line for, he said.
[00:00:54]  But you know, Elon is saying, I'm gonna demonetize you if you have a nasty attitude.
[00:00:58]  Sometimes I need to have a nasty attitude to keep myself safe in this world.
[00:01:02]  The show Westworld, that's what it's like out there.
[00:01:07]  I used to be able to post without being threatened, he said.
[00:01:10]  Now I'm basically under the barrel of a gun 24-7 because people are constantly saying, quote, this joke was better when you said it in 2014.
[00:01:17]  I hope Elon cuts down on that sort of thing because that's just barbaric what people are saying to me.
[00:01:23]  That's great.
[00:01:24]  I love that.
[00:01:25]  I love that, like, I imagine being someone reading this who like doesn't really Have a handle on what Twitter is.
[00:01:33]  Well, imagine reading this from somebody who doesn't know what Drill is, which is exactly what we're going to show in the comments.
[00:01:41]  What would you think the average Washington Post reader's response to Drill in this article is going to be?
[00:01:48]  Because it's pretty funny.
[00:01:49]  I hope it's kind of like the...
[00:01:56]  The Tower of the Crater attitude when it's like cyberbullying is not a thing, just like turn it off.
[00:02:00]  I hope that's the response, but I know it's not going to be that.
[00:02:04]  Comments are now closed.
[00:02:05]  We can't.
[00:02:07]  We can't comment.
[00:02:07]  So there are, like, more knowing comments since I listened, since I looked at this the other day.
[00:02:12]  Yeah.
[00:02:13]  Like, the top, the newest comment is, like, a positive about Drill.
[00:02:18]  Of course I want to view more comments.
[00:02:21]  Who are you asking here?
[00:02:23]  Trump is a traitor.
[00:02:24]  Says, I guess I'm not hip to the twit culture.
[00:02:27]  This is a bunch of BS.
[00:02:30]  Which itself reads like a drill tweet.
[00:02:33]  This is, this is a drill tweet.
[00:02:35]  You don't get it because he's making fun of you.
[00:02:37]  Yeah.
[00:02:38]  I mean, especially if the name is in earnest, you know, Trump is a traitor.
[00:02:43]  Like I, I, if that's like, I think that is, that's in earnest.
[00:02:46]  I don't think they're doing, made it count for a bit here.
[00:02:49]  Um, yeah, exactly.
[00:02:50]  You're, thank you for that.

=== Follow the Money (00:39) ===

[00:02:51]  Thank you for doing that for us.
[00:02:55]  Funster, this was good.
[00:02:56]  Funster, P-H-U-N-S-T-R, said, I'd be interested in looking into Drill's bank account to see how much he was paid to stay on side.
[00:03:04]  Yeah.
[00:03:07]  You know, more than what's in the bank account, I need to see who's paying him.
[00:03:11]  I need to see where the receipts are coming from.
[00:03:13]  You gotta follow the money.
[00:03:14]  That's the oldest lesson in the book.
[00:03:17]  Follow the money just so we can find out why Drill is being weird.
