He puts out about one or two slick, very well made videos a month that are in a style like John Oliver, Steven Colbert and all the other late night hosts, Greg Gutfeld notwithstanding. He\u2019s young, talented, glib and energetic. He also has a podcast called&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/the-climate-deniers-playbook\/id1694759084?ign-itscg=30200&amp;ign-itsct=lt_p\">The Climate Denier\u2019s Playbook<\/a>&nbsp;with a cohost who actually worked on the Daily Show.

It shows a $75 K entry for school materials. The really interesting thing is at twenty six minutes. He says he will personally respond to any comment that uses the words \u201cEaster egg\u201d.
