[Beginning of recorded material]
Rick Rosner: Also, a friend and I have a YouTube series were we discuss politics while he paints my portrait. All od this is to get a bunch of social media views to help make my pitch more persuasive to a publisher. I switched away from the book about the 10 years in high school and want to do a book about how to be a fucked up genius because genius is a pretty hot topic right now.
I think becuase the world is so vast and confusing. I think people turn to the idea of genius to figure things out. Also, people want to feel smart in a world that can make you feel dumb. So my day is I get up and check what is going on on the news. And then I crank out a couple of tweets about it. Often, usually, lately, for the past 6 months, it has been about Trump.
Most of the joke tweets have been about Trump. Even as Trump is literally killing me, I go in tomorrow to see if I have internal bleeding someplace. My hemoglobin numbers are down 40% from what a healthy guy should have, which means I am leaking someplace and the leaking started the whole – the IBS, or irritable bowel syndrome – stres pooping started when Trump was elected.
