It's time to suck its slaves. Welcome the trolls to the No Agenda Show. All right. Do we do a nice job for our guests or what? Man, that is just so, so nice.
01:27 In the morning to you, Dana. In the morning. I'm changing the song up a little bit. Well, you get a new song each time. That's the beauty. That's the beauty of AI. Oh, well, there's another one at the end of the show, but it was three minutes long. Like, no, that's too long. I can't be playing. You know, I'm a producer. I know what the people want. You're a producer. Not anymore. Not really. Yes, you are. I'm a producer of the No Agenda show. Yeah. I mean, you're texting me like, I got a lot of clips. We're going to play them all. I'm like, no, you're not producing this show. You don't know what's going to happen. Yeah, you said, who's the producer of the show? I said, everyone. Yeah. Yeah,
02:09 to some degree. So, Dana Brunetti, everybody, big, big, former Hollywood bigwig, but he's still, he's actually, he's the biggest Hollywood guy because he left at the pinnacle of his career. Everybody's jealous. Everybody's still sucking up to Harvey Weinstein. Like, oh, man, Brunetti did the right thing. He took the money and got out. House of Cards. I think it's a little hard for them to suck up to Harvey right now. True. Let me just rattle a few off. House of Cards, 50 Shades of Gray, 50 Shades of Gray are the 50 Shades of All the Gray. Captain Phillips, Social Network, all massive hits. And here he is on our No Agenda show. Do you have no life? Is the question?
02:53 Not really. No. That's about all he's going to talk tonight, ladies and gentlemen. He's just going to one-word answers. Yeah, I don't want to be too long-winded. A troll room will go off. No, no, you need to ignore the troll. Okay, so I know. I know. Hold on a second. So you're like an ex an ex aficionado. I see you show up in my algo all the time. You're coming. How do I show up in your how do I show up in your timeline for what or algo? Well, you're posting. That's why you're posting all the time. You got an opinion on this. And then the troll's like, you're awesome. You're like, yeah, I am. You know,
03:37 do I say that? I love the trolls who somehow think that these guest hosts are auditioning. You know, they're like, well, Brunetti's got to be the permanent guest host. Did people not realize that all these people have lives and jobs? And well, you do. But I also, I find it hilarious that I saw somebody wrote that it's kind of like Jeopardy. We're auditioning different hosts between me and Calicanis and Rob Dew.
04:15 And then Jay Cal, I heard him on the last episode talking about how he likes the competition and he just wants to be number one. I know. He's not going to be number one of anything. I think me and Rob, me and Rob Dew should team up and take him. Another thing he was talking about, which I was surprised about, that you didn't know what the 12 stations of the cross were. I did not. I had no idea. Now, why do you know? I was raised Catholic. Really? Oh, there's still hope for you. We can still bring you back. We can bring you back. Here we go. Yeah, we can bring you back, baby. Yeah, it's in your heart. It's in your heart. Okay. No, no, no. Being raised Catholic does not, if anything, it repels you.
04:57 Nothing against the Catholics, but you're still a brave. brother in Christ. At one point, you were there. You just strayed. You are the Protestant. I was there by choice. I was there because I was forced to go to church every Sunday by my father. And as soon as I was old enough to not have to go, I stopped going. Yeah, no, I understand. But in today's church, Dana, we got cool music. We got relatable sermons. It's a whole different deal. Look, come visit us. And I'll do two things. One, you bring Alex, do two things. One. No, that ain't happening. What, Alex? What do you mean? Alex can hang out with Tina. What do you mean that ain't happening?
05:35 Okay. No, no, I thought you meant her going to church. Okay, we'll see. So the first thing we'll do is you and I will go to Ox Ranch. Have you ever heard of Ox Ranch? No, but I feel like you're going to tell me. Yeah, yeah. Bring your credit card at Ox Ranch, and they have their own airstrip. So we'll get Mitch, my periodontist, to fly. Oh, I can just second coming in on the jet. Yeah, sure. Okay. So once you've driven here in your Tesla and stopped eight times to recharge, Ox Ranch, you can rent. Because I could drive all the way there and I have to stop to refuel. Exactly. You can shoot a tank. You can shoot this place.
06:19 Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, I've shot Uzis and Tommy guns, and it's all full automatic, no nonsense. You will have the flamethrower. I need a picture of you with a flamethrower. I think I have one. I actually have done something similar, but I did it where it wasn't like a touristy type thing. When I was doing Captain Phillips, we used Real Navy SEALs. And when we were in Virginia Beach shooting there, which is very close to the old Blackwater facility, which is at the time was called Academy. I don't know what it's called now, but I got to go to the Z now, isn't it? Well, I think it is. It was Academy. It was Z and then I think they changed the name quite often.
07:03 Anyways, a couple of my buddies were Plink. And I'm friendly with Eric Prince as well. So I got to go there and do all those things and more. Well, okay. So then what else you got? We'll see. And then we'll go to church on Sunday morning. You'll have a blast. Oh, okay. You'll come. I know. You'll come. So you once, now you are, we are so similar in so many ways, which is kind of interesting, except for, you know, you were successful and I always remained a VJ. I think you owned a castle and a couple helicopters and blew through millions of dollars.
07:44 It's all fleeting. I think I might have just been better with the management of my money. It's all fleeting, Dana. It's all fleeting. You can't take it with you. I'm telling you. You can't take it. Oh, I know that. By the way, can we bleep this out so my wife doesn't hear this? Because she'll use that all the time. I'm not taking it with you. There's no editing. There's no editing on no agenda. We don't bleep anything. There's plenty of editing. No, there's never. What are you talking about? I know, I know. I'm just never editing. I've had a lot of coffee, so I might get a little rambunctious. That's good. So we're both nerds. We're both way into programming our robots.
